Chapter XXIII; The Bai family crisis
Walking out of the gladiatorial arena, Fang Ping walked around the streets of the major cities in the inner city for more than a dozen times, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no one behind him, he took off the bull's head mask, and the gray short fight was also replaced by a cyan short fight.
When he walked out of an alley, Fang Ping not only sighed, but he earned fifty taels of silver in less than a day.
If you go every day, you will have thousands of taels of silver in your account a month, and the net profit of Fuwei Dart Bureau in a year is only like this.
But this is also accompanied by great risks, the strength of the mad sword is much stronger than that of ordinary eight-rank martial artists.
If Fang Ping hadn't breathed and breathed out the pores of his mouth and nose together and entered a state of rage, he would be a corpse now.
"First let me fight with the two giant gray wolves to prove that I have the strength of the Eight Grades of Martial Arts, and then immediately let me fight against the mad knife, the initial idea of the gladiatorial arena should be to let me be killed by the mad knife."
"If it's not such a plan, I should arrange a few duels step by step, so that I can accumulate some popularity and raise my price, so that more people will bet on me, and the gladiatorial arena can make a lot of money."
"It's a pity that this wishful thinking has come to naught, I'm not anyone's stepping stone!"
With a huge amount of money, Fang Ping was not in a hurry to return to the outer city.
He bought a pound of fried chestnuts with sugar and two boxes of chestnut crisps in a pastry shop.
These were bought for Fang Ying, Fang Ping's mouth was also greedy, and they could be eaten together.
After passing through a few streets, Fang Ping walked out of the inner city and stepped into the outer city area, and the bleak scene and dirty environment he saw were very different from the inner city.
When he quickened his pace and returned to the outside of Mouse Alley, Fang Ping passed by a dozen members of the Viper Gang who were guarding the entrance of the alley.
They knew whether Fang Ping was a martial artist or a fighter of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, but if someone else in Rat Alley came back with something, it would be looted in an instant.
Afternoon.
Fang Ping got up and rushed to the Fuwei Dart Bureau.
Since the betrayal of Zhao Dart Head and Wang Dart Head, which led to a great loss of the strength of the Dart Bureau, the Fuwei Dart Bureau has been deserted for a period of time, and when there is no task to go out to dart, Fang Ping only needs to go to the Dart Bureau every day to show his face.
Smoke hovers over the dart cafeteria.
Fang Ping weighed the rice bowl high, and he didn't use chopsticks, and he grabbed rice with his bare hands.
A pot of sorghum rice bottomed out after a while, and Fang Ping was half full.
The more strength you have, the more you eat, and after the gladiatorial arena turns on the state of rage, Fang Ping's body has caused a lot of load, which means that you have to eat and drink to replenish your energy.
"Come, don't just eat, add some meat."
Bai Yunfei rarely appeared in the dart game cafeteria, and poured all the meat and vegetables he hit to Fang Ping.
"If you have something to say, say it." Fang Ping buried himself in cooking, but his heart was like a mirror, this guy would not appear in the dart bureau cafeteria for no reason.
"I really can't hide anything from you." Bai Yunfei smiled: "Today, a bull demon appeared in the gladiatorial arena in the inner city, and the strength of the eight grades of martial arts killed the mad sword. β
Fang Ping glanced at Bai Yunfei, he was worthy of being a child of a big family in the inner city, and the news was well-informed.
"Although the mad knife is also the strength of the eighth rank of martial arts, it can be a sharp sword in one hand, and it is difficult to subdue a non-seventh-grade martial artist, and the bull demon can kill him, and his strength is so strong that he can be dominant at the same level."
"It's okay with me."
"But it has something to do with me."
Fang Ping was stunned for a moment and looked up.
Bai Yunfei explained with a sigh; "My Bai family is in the inner city in the medicinal herb business, but after the five gentry handed over half of the industry in the inner city to Lianjiabao, my Bai family's business has also plummeted."
"Now even the last few shops are almost unstoppable, do you think I'm in a hurry, can't I get on the fire?"
Fang Ping snorted: "But what does that have to do with the Bull Demon?" It's not like he's going to rob a few of your Bai family's shops! β
"Don't interrupt, listen to me."
Bai Yunfei explained the reason, after the five gentry in the inner city handed over half of the business in the inner city to Lianjiabao, in order not to be eaten by Lianjiabao in one go, they formed an alliance with Lianjiabao.
When the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, but before a large-scale conflict breaks out, it is not others who will be affected first, but the Bai family, which is a big family in the inner city.
Two days ago, Lianjiabao had already released a word, and it was time for Shanyang County to stand in line, either to follow Lianjiabao or to rely on the alliance of the five great gentry.
"How did you choose the Bai family?"
From the bottom of his heart, Fang Ping is optimistic about Lianjiabao.
Who let Lianjiabao produce a Lian Feihu, that guy is really fierce, and his terrifying posture is still imprinted in Fang Ping's mind.
"It's difficult, Lianjiabao is in full swing, and the rising trend is already unstoppable."
"However, Lianjiabao is outside the city after all, and the five gentry are in the inner city. No matter which side my Bai family chooses, they will become victims in the end. β
"Father, he already has the idea of moving his family to Dazefu City, but it's also difficult, the current situation in Shanyang County is affecting the whole body, even Jiabao or the five great gentry will not allow anyone to leave, and it is also self-defeating to curry favor with both sides."
Bai Yunfei's eyes were full of sorrow, and he took out the wine jug and poured a big sip.
"The children of rich and noble families also have troubles, and they are much older than the children of my poor families?"
Fang Ping suddenly gloated a little.
He is very good, no one will care about him, pay attention to him, if Shanyang County is really messed up, he can leave at any time.
"Don't go around, you still haven't said that the Bull Demon has anything to do with you."
"yes, how about the coming day, that's all later." Bai Yunfei said back to business: "My Bai family has a crisis right now, and Lianjiabao wants to take away my Bai family's five shops in the inner city. β
"How much?"
"Money? Where did the money come from! Lianjiabao Meiqi said that it is operated for my Bai family, and my Bai family doesn't have to take care of anything, and I can take away dividends every month. β
"It's nothing more than that." Fang Ping said stupidly: "...... Can you spend some money and ask the government to come forward? β
Shanyang County is not only Lianjiabao, but also the five major gentry and two forces in the inner city, as well as the government!
Even in troubled times, the imperial court has a certain degree of control over the place, and occupies the name of righteousness, and if you are disobedient, it is a rebellion!
It turned out that Fang Ping was still naΓ―ve, Bai Yunfei looked at Fang Ping like a fool: "How much does it cost?" If there is more, my Bai family can't take it out, and if there is less, it's useless. β
"Yes, you go on."
"Five shops, this is the last industry of my Bai family, and the only way to resolve this crisis is ......"
"The Colosseum!" Fang Ping had a flash of inspiration and blurted out.
In addition to appreciating the killing violence, the inner city gladiatorial arena also has an important use, that is, once there is irresolvable friction between the two sides, and they don't want to tear their faces, they must each send a warrior into the gladiatorial arena to fight.
The winning side gets the right to speak.
Not long ago, Lianjiabao wanted to take half of the business of the five gentry in the inner city, that is, he sent Lian Feihu, a ruthless man, even if the five gentry invited Chu Ying from Daze Mansion City, they failed to curb the rise of Lianjiabao.
"You want to find the Bull Demon to fight in place of your Bai family?" Fang Ping took a cool breath.
"That's the only way, my Bai family also has some martial artists who take care of the house, but it's embarrassing, I ...... No, it doesn't. β
Bai Yunfei said: "This bull demon can slash the mad sword, and its strength can be said to be the best among the martial artists of the same level. β
"The eight-rank martial artist sent by Lianjiabao this time should not be underestimated, I am worried now, where to find this bull demon? You give me an idea? β
