Chapter 78: Guilan enters the workshop
Ye Su's words can be described as in one sentence.
Early the next morning, when Ding Yi had just arrived at Lanxingfang, he saw Li Guilan, dressed in white cloth and linen, dressed as a surviving person, standing outside the door of the workshop and looking around.
After seeing Ding Yi, a touch of joy immediately appeared on her pretty face, and she waved at him.
When he got closer, Ding Yi looked at the Maiden girl in front of him and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Looking at her appearance of wearing linen and filial piety, it is quite similar to Feng Shiyu before. Could it be that someone in her family has recently died?
Yes!
Previously, she was caught by the Tigerclaw Gang, and she was locked up for several days. The Li family will definitely look around, and if they find any clues in the process, they will take the initiative to find the door and be killed by the ruthless Yellow Tiger, which is also reasonable.
Thinking of this possibility, Ding Yi consciously avoided the topic of her clothes, and asked instead: "Miss Li is waiting for me in Lanxingfang so early, I don't know what advice I have?" ”
Hearing this, a trace of silence flashed on Li Guilan's face, and then she sighed and said, "I can't hide it, the little woman came here this time to join the Ding Instrument Master." ”
Defect to me?
Ding Yi frowned slightly, and asked with some uncertainty: "What does Miss Li mean?" ”
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, Li Guilan sighed and said: "It's not a secret, Guilan is now ruined, and there is nothing to rely on except for the property of a Li Lao Liulishi shop." ”
Then, without waiting for Ding Yi to ask, he told her what happened to her.
It turned out that just some time ago, Li Guilan's father, Li Laoliu, failed to attack the foundation building realm and died in a frenzy.
Li Guilan put down everything at hand and arranged the funeral for her father.
Unexpectedly, her brother, who was uneducated and unskilled, went to the casino under the name of the Tiger Claw Gang to squander it at this time, with a large amount of inherited property.
As a result, in just one day's effort, he lost all the property in his hand, and even owed a small gambling debt.
The people of the Tiger Claw Gang approached Li Guilan with an IOU and demanded that the arrears be returned within the specified time limit.
Otherwise, just wait to collect your brother's body!
Li Guilan has been helping her father manage the business of the stone shop in recent years, and she is quite capable. She didn't have to sell her property for no more or less arrears, and it only took two days to get it all together.
took the spirit stone to find the Tiger Claw Gang, but the other party took out another IOU, not only the amount was so large that he couldn't afford to sell the stone tool shop, but even lost Li Guilan, who was his sister, to the Tiger Claw Gang in the form of a bet.
One thing to say, this kind of operation is not legal.
Although in the laws of Dashu, gambling and human trafficking are not completely eliminated. But Li Guilan's brother does not have ownership of Li Guilan, and naturally he is not qualified to use her as a bargaining chip to gamble with others.
But the problem is that the people of the Tiger Claw Gang have never been good citizens who abide by the law!
Li Guilan's departure was tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and she was directly caught by the other party on the spot. And her brother, who lost his use value, was killed on the spot by the other party and dumped in the cellar.
If it weren't for the special cultivation technique practiced by the yellow tiger, which needed to take away her Yuan Yin on the night of the full moon in order to have the best effect, I am afraid that she would have been poisoned by that group of beasts a long time ago.
Now that the Tiger Claw Gang has been destroyed and the crisis has been resolved, although the spirit stone has been lost and cannot be recovered, Li Lao Liu's Stone Tool Shop, which was lost by her brother, was judged by the Yamen to be illegal and returned to Li Guilan.
Li Guilan, who had suffered a great change, was also frightened by her previous experience, so she decided to sell her stone shop and settle in the inner city.
If she can, she also hopes to work for Ding Yi and ask for a job to live in.
Previously, at the headquarters of the Tiger Claw Gang, Ding Yi did not ask Li Guilan about the whole story of her arrest. Listening to her talk about it this time, I also feel that this girl is not easy.
What's more, through previous contact, he also recognized this girl's ability in business.
Ding Yi himself is a busy man, so much so that he has to ask Niu Dachun, a rough man who specializes in refining, to help run errands for many business matters.
What is the effect...... It can only be said that it can barely be used.
In comparison, if there is a beautiful woman with outstanding ability like Li Guilan to run the business for him, it will definitely be a huge help for Ding Yi.
After figuring this out, Ding Yi immediately showed a kind smile on his face: "I don't know how Miss Li plans to sell it in the Li Lao Liushi Shop?" ”
Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately changed his words and said, "Hmm...... Let's go in and talk about the specific content, Miss Li, please come with me. ”
……
Seeing Ding Yi take Li Guilan into the gate of Lanxingfang, an old man in black sitting at the tea stall on the corner of the street across the river, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth outlining a treacherous plan.
Reaching out and pressing down the edge of the hat on his head, so that others could only see the lower half of his face, the three long gray beards, followed the hand pinching method, and arranged an invisible temporary soundproofing ban around him.
Then he reached into his arms, took out a messenger, and said after connecting it: "Qi Qi Holy Son, the chess pieces I arranged have successfully entered the Blue Star Fang, please ask the Holy Son to give further instructions." ”
In the transmission talisman, a tepid man's voice followed: "This chess piece, don't use it indiscriminately."
Let her continue to work in Lanxingfang, and every once in a while, provide us with some information about Ding Yi and the Holy Maiden.
As for the rest of the arrangement...... Just go according to the original plan. ”
When the old man heard this, he immediately replied in a deep voice: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
As he spoke, a golden light flashed in his eyes. Under a closer look, there are two golden Buddha seals with the word "swastika", which flash in the pupils on his left and right sides.
……
On the other hand, Ding Yi and Li Guilan's negotiations were very harmonious.
After some cordial and friendly negotiations, Li Guilan finally transferred the real estate of Li Lao Liu's Stone Ware Shop to Ding Yi at the price of a high-grade Zhuji Dan. And she stocks all kinds of finished products and materials, which she will sell through other means.
After that, Li Guilan was hired by Ding Yi and became the shopkeeper of Blue Star Fang, responsible for helping to take care of business affairs.
Because she doesn't have a house yet, she temporarily lives in the east wing of Lanxingfang, which solves the accommodation problem and helps Ding Yi take care of the house by the way.
As for whether to move out in the future, it depends on the situation.
……
Seeing Li Guilan's figure disappear at the door of the inner courtyard, Ye Su's voice sounded unhurriedly behind Ding Yi: "You actually chose to keep this obviously problematic guy by your side, and you didn't even need me to take action in advance to erase the hands and feet that the enemy had done on her?"
What is your purpose? ”
As he spoke, Ye Su's figure had already walked out of the side door next to the main hall and came to Ding Yi's side.
"Purpose?" Ding Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is no purpose, it's just for self-preservation." ”
Seeing that the other party still didn't understand very well, he could only continue to explain:
According to Brother Ye, this Li Guilan has been controlled by people using the unique methods of Western Buddhism, and she usually doesn't see anything unusual, but she can control her to do anything when needed.
Can I assume that the other party can also use the same method to control other people? ”
When Ye Su heard this, he corrected softly: "It's not everyone. First of all, it can't control the Yuan Shen cultivation to be a person who is not weaker than itself, or even higher. Secondly, it cannot be used to control people who have great merit to protect the body, otherwise they will be counterattacked. ”
Ding Yi waved his hand: "That's not the point.
The point is that apart from the above two types of people, there are simply not too many goals they can choose from.
Now that this Li Guilan has been exposed, she can still be on guard if she stays by her side, and even when necessary, she can use this in turn.
If you turn her away, or if you take action and erase the hands and feet that the other party has done on her, you will inevitably startle the snake.
Next time, the other party will only choose more covert means to try to get close to me.
At that point, it will be even more difficult to prevent! ”
After listening to Ding Yi's explanation, Ye Su nodded slowly, agreeing with his statement.
But he reminded again: "There is another point, if I can erase the control secret technique that the other party left on Li Guilan, it does not mean that the other party's strength is weaker than mine, or comparable to me."
In fact, this kind of control spell, in the Western Buddha country, is a means that only masters of the Jindan period can master! ”
