Chapter 133: The Five Great Families
readx;? Fang Xiaowu looked deep and said slowly: "I heard that Tianjizi has nine apprentices, and all of them are martial immortals, is it true?"
Xue Bao'er smiled and said, "It should be true." Although I haven't met Tianjizi and his nine apprentices www.biquge.info, I've heard my grandfather say that Tianjizi's cultivation is unfathomable, at least he is also an intermediate martial saint, and his apprentices are all geniuses, if they are not martial immortals, the list they put out is difficult to be convincing. ”
Fang Xiaowu was about to ask again, but saw Dongguo Honest running in from outside in a hurry, his face was a little weird, so he asked, "Honest, what's wrong?"
"It's gone. ”
"What's missing?"
"Old dragon head. ”
"The old dragon head is gone?"
"Yes, I was going to visit him, but when I went, he was gone, and I inquired about it, and he didn't know, but said that the old beggar had only stayed for one night, and that the money had already been paid. Son, are you sure that the other party is the old dragon head?"
"It was he who said it, and I don't know if it's a real old dragon head. ”
"That's supposed to be, no one dares to pretend to be this senior. ”
Fang Xiaowu seemed to know something about the old dragon head when he heard his tone, and he was quite curious, and asked, "Honestly, do you know this old dragon head?"
"It's not that I know him, but I heard some rumors about him when I was younger. ”
"When he was younger? wasn't that more than a hundred years ago? He became famous back then?"
"Yes. Dongguo said honestly: "This senior can be said to be a strange person, no one knows how high his cultivation is, and he likes to be alone." Strange, as far as I know, he's not a stumbling man, why is he lame, is he pretending to be on purpose?"
"Isn't the old dragon head lame?"
"It's not rumored, but rumors are rumors after all, and the rumors that he is not lame are also in his early years, and now that he becomes lame, it is not impossible, but with his ability, who can make him become lame?
Because Fang Xiaowu had just known that the old dragon head was a master on the hidden dragon list, he was far less surprised than Dongguo Honestly.
Is the old dragon head lame or not, and what does it have to do with him?
The most important thing at the moment is that the old dragon head has promised him that he can use the power of the beggars in Huayang City.
Of course, this use is not gratuitous, but similar to an equivalent exchange, where the beggars help him run errands and find out the news, and he has to pay these beggars for their wages.
"Uncle Dongguo, you seem to care about this old dragon head. Xue Baoer said.
"You don't know, every time this senior appears, he is dressed as a beggar, claiming to be the head of the old dragon, and when the beggars see him, they will bow down to him as a god, and there is no disobedience to him, he suddenly came to Huayang City to find the prince this time, it must be for the beggars of Huayang City. Son, does he have ......?"
Hearing this, Fang Xiaowu knew what he was going to say, smiled, and said, "Honestly, don't worry, I have already negotiated with him, as long as I don't break the conditions he gave me, he won't care what I do." ”
"What are his conditions?"
"Quite simply, you can't form a gang of beggars in the city. ”
"Oh, I see, I thought it was a harsh condition, but since that's the case, I'm relieved. ”
Fang Xiaowu groaned: "Honest, do you remember Sun Liang?"
"Yes. ”
"Just remember, you don't have to do anything today, I have a very important task for you. ”
"Childe, although he commanded. ”
At that moment, Fang Xiaowu talked carefully to Dong Guo Honestly, and after Dong Guo honestly listened to it, he immediately took the order and left.
Subsequently, Fang Xiaowu asked Xue Bao'er to go to a nearby restaurant and book a large box, which was enough to accommodate a hundred people.
In the evening, in this big restaurant, in the large box that can accommodate 100 people, there were nine banquets, except for one of which was only two people, that is, Fang Xiaowu and Dongguo Laoshi, the others were all beggars from Huayang City.
Now, all the beggars are refreshed, and all of them are neatly dressed, very different from the past, and they are between thirty and fifty years old.
What surprised Fang Xiaowu a little was that Sun Liang, that is, the middle-aged beggar, looked good after changing his body, if it wasn't for Dongguo's honest introduction, Fang Xiaowu still couldn't believe that Sun Liang would be like this.
People rely on clothes, Buddha depends on gold, it seems that this old saying is not deceiving, there is indeed such a thing.
After three rounds of drinking, someone asked: "Fang Gongzi, you invited so many of us this time, it must not be as simple as inviting us to drink, if you have anything, even if you tell us, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help you complete it." ”
Fang Xiaowu put the chopsticks on the table, glanced at them, and said with a smile: "Yes, I called you here this time, and I really have something to discuss with you." ”
"Young Master Fang, what you said is too much of an outlier, now in Huayang City, is there any beggar who doesn't know your name? And who hasn't received your favor? Don't say one thing, even if it's ten things, it's not a problem. "A humane man in his early forties.
Fang Xiaowu arched his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this uncle should be named Jiang Yuan, right?"
"Fang Gongzi has a really good memory, I am Jiang Yuan, but Fang Gongzi, please don't call me uncle, just call me by my name. ”
"Then you're welcome. Jiang Yuan, why did you become a beggar?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I was originally born in a wealthy family, and then my family fell into the middle of the road, so I wanted to come to Huayang City to make a lot of money, and then go back to my hometown to revitalize the family business, however, after I arrived in Huayang, I made bad friends by mistake, ate and drank all day long, and finally not only lost all the family business, but also owed a lot of debts, and was almost beaten to death, fortunately met a good person, helped me repay the debt. I worked in a restaurant for three years, but in the end the boss framed me for stealing, I was angry, said that I was going to Pingxi Wangfu to find the prince to administer justice for me, which scared the boss, but in this way, I couldn't do it in the restaurant, and then I wandered the streets, begging for a living, it has been one year and six months. ”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaowu nodded and said, "Jiang Yuan, what happened to you is sympathetic, but sympathy is sympathy, sympathy can't be eaten, if you want to stand up, what do you rely on? Of course, it's yourself." All of you here are my predecessors, and I know that you all have your own difficulties before you become beggars. Leaving aside the past, from now on, you should have your own ideas about where you are going. To tell you the truth, I came to Huayang City this time to make a lot of money in Huayang City, and if possible, I will gain a foothold here, so I need someone to help, I say this, you should understand. ”
Sun Liang asked, "Young Master Fang, I don't know how you want us to help you?"
Fang Xiaowu said: "I need some people to start now, not to run errands, but to run together, so there is a sentence I must state first, once I join us, it is equivalent to saying goodbye to the past, and I may encounter difficulties in the future, and even my life is not guaranteed, but that is my own choice, please don't blame me for not making it clear in advance." ”
Suddenly, a person said: "Master Fang, don't worry, my life is my own, I won't come nonsense." However, my wife ran away with someone, my son also died of illness, and I am the only one left, and I don't care, as long as you need it, I will serve you at any time. ”
With the first person responding, there are more people responding, although not all, not even a third, but enough.
When it was the last person's turn, it was Sun Liang, who smiled sadly and said: "I, Sun Liang, was originally a nobleman, but after arriving in Huayang City, because of his arrogance, he offended a certain magnate in the city, and was later framed by this magnate and deceived completely. I have no complaints about this, I can only say that I am stupid. However, can't stupid people live well?Fang Gongzi, as long as you give me a chance, I won't let you down. ”
Fang Xiaowu nodded, waited for a while, and saw that no one responded, so he said, "Everyone eats and drinks to their heart's content tonight, and from tomorrow, I hope you will help you a lot." ”
That night, the large box was lit up.
It was not until dawn that those who did not respond dispersed and returned to the state of beggars.
However, it's not that they don't want to help Fang Xiaowu, but they want to use another identity to help Fang Xiaowu.
Those who stayed were all risked their lives, including Sun Liang and Jiang Yuan, a total of twenty-three people.
These people used to be beggars, but not anymore.
Although they don't know martial arts, they have rich life experience, and because they have been beggars, they know what it means to be warm and cold in the world, and things change in the world.
To use a vulgar analogy, they are a group of singles who have been locked up for a long time, and once they are released, it is not difficult to imagine what the situation is like when they see someone sending them beautiful women. They can't wait to have something to do that day, and they won't feel tired after ten days and a half months.
Three days later, seven people sat in a mansion in Huayang City, in a magnificent hall.
These seven people are not only the richest people in Huayang City, but also the advanced ones in cultivation, and one of them has reached the late stage of entering the realm of transformation, and is seventy-four years old this year.
This person's name is Zuo Chuan, fifteen years ago, he came to Huayang City with a million assets, and fifteen years later, his net worth has exceeded 100 million. Among the seven people, Zuo Chuan has the highest net worth, and although the other six do not exceed 100 million, they also have tens of millions of belongings.
However, these seven people are not the richest people in Huayang City, and the richest people in Huayang City are known as the five great families of Huayang.
In addition to the Hua family, the other four families, namely the Lao family, the Yu family, the Wen family, and the Zhuang family, have all taken root in Huayang City for more than a hundred years.
A hundred years ago, Huayang was just a town.
At that time, the Lao family, the Yu family, the Wen family, and the Zhuang family were all small mountain villas.
And now, it has developed into the famous Huayang four families.
As for the Hua family, they first came to Huayang nine years ago, and in less than six years, they became a big family that can sit on an equal footing with the Lao family, the Yu family, the Wen family, and the Zhuang family.
It is even rumored that among the five major families of Huayang, the Hua family should be the first, because the Hua family has the secret support of King Pingxi behind him.
