Chapter Eighty-Six: The Local Boss

The time off is always very short.

After the three-day rest, after the resumption of work, the county Zhu Yamen first held a meeting of all the official cultivators to arrange the next work.

Of course, considering the particularity of Zhou Ang's working hours, this meeting was deliberately arranged to be held in the afternoon - it was put on hold two months ago, even a month ago, in fact, this kind of meeting was not deliberately moved to the afternoon because Zhou Ang was absent in the morning, but at this time, when it came to holding this kind of meeting, Gao Jing's intuitive reaction was, "Zhou Ang won't come in the morning, let's do it in the afternoon!"

The reality is like this, except for Zhou Ang on the county Zhu Yamen's side, in fact, it has not been a month since he killed monsters - half of August has passed, and the credit book of the county Zhu Yamen is still zero.

So Zhou Ang arrived at noon, and after the yamen had a collective meeting, they all went to the second hall, each looking for a place to sit down, and a few servants were busy making tea and pouring water, and when everyone had withdrawn, the meeting began.

There are no achievements to summarize, and at the beginning of a few nonsense words, Gao Jing began to go straight to the point-

"Boju has been very anxious for a while now, and everyone must have seen it...... Don't laugh, this is normal, in fact, I've been a little anxious recently, now even the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, everyone, we should work harder, inside and outside the city, as long as it is our territory, sweep one by one, Ziyi, you have been wandering around very diligently recently, this is very good, you must continue to maintain it next, do not relax......"

"Are there still monsters in Lingzhou City? I can tell you with certainty, there is! There must be! Think about those cases in the past, which one has not been lurking outside the city for many years? The key is that we have to look for it, and we have to pay attention to the clues! In this regard, Zi Xiu did the best, the bear demon he hunted alone last month, right...... Everyone understands, hey, Zixiu, what about you! This month, can you still contribute?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't control it anymore and burst into laughter.

To say that, in a large unit, if everyone is idle and outstanding, this is normally to be jealous and slandered, but first, the county Zhu Yamen has a very good atmosphere and a good atmosphere, and secondly, Zhou Ang has always been willing to share the credit, at most he is stingy in silver, so although he is a rafter at the beginning, the interpersonal relationship is still like a fish in water.

In private, there may be a little envy in my heart, and even jealousy, but the emotion of going one step further is really not - everyone admires him first, and gratitude comes second.

So at this time, Gao Jing's statement of "looking for Zhou Ang if you can't find a monster to kill" not only made everyone dissatisfied, but laughed and turned their heads to look at Zhou Ang.

Seeing this, Zhou Ang smiled bitterly and said: "Boju has been following me every day recently, and he has been following me for several days!

When everyone heard this, some people looked at Fang Jun with a smile, but more people couldn't help but bow their heads slightly--that's what happened! That monster is not a crop planted in the ground, and when the time comes, as long as you work hard, you can harvest it back. The point is that the monster is hidden there, and it's hard to find!

The official cultivators at all levels of the yamen are dedicated to hunting monsters, and over the years, of course, they have accumulated extremely rich valuable experience in searching and hunting monsters, and the result is that those monsters that have become corpses and have been refined into pills, but at the same time, the monsters are not idle, and with the nets of one monster after another, the monsters are also summing up their experience, so the ability to hide is getting stronger and stronger.

In the struggle, each other is making rapid progress.

As a county minister, Gao Jing certainly understood this situation better than everyone else, so he also nodded and said: "If there is anything you need help with, just say it, and everyone will help each other! In short, we can't hand in a blank roll in August!" After a pause, without waiting for everyone to speak, he said: "It's not just Zixiu, other people can say what they think, if there is anything that needs help from the yamen, just mention it!"

When everyone heard this, they were still frowning and thinking, or whispering to each other, Zhou Ang said: "I have something to ask Brother Ziyu for help before the festival, I don't know how the investigation went?"

When Du Yi heard this, he immediately said: "I have collected some so far, and I will give it to you when I disperse for a while." Next, I will continue to arrange people to find out, and if there is a new harvest, I will give it to you at any time. ”

Zhou Ang arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Ziyu!"

Du Yi smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter." ”

Gao Jing then took over and said, "Zixiu said this, add some more people, and find out as soon as possible!"

Du Yi was awe-inspiring when he heard this, and immediately said, "No!"

Originally, if it was just Zhou Ang's request, Du Yi would have done it with his heart, but now that Gao Jing said this, the importance of this matter suddenly increased by another layer - there is no doubt that Gao Jing has already made it clear: tilt the resources in his hand towards the things that Zhou Ang wants to investigate.

Subsequently, Wei Ci and Liu Rui, who had just been promoted to the eighth order, each put forward an idea, and everyone discussed it, and then they unanimously agreed: Wei Ci wanted to divide into several groups within ten days to go through the entire Lingzhou City, which was a bit of a crackdown, and Liu Rui proposed that he wanted to go around outside the city again.

Seeing that everyone agreed with this approach, Gao Jing personally ordered the generals: he and Liu Rui, Feng Shan, He Yi, and Chen Tuo went out of the city to visit, Du Yi, Zhou Ang, and Lu Jin were responsible for sitting in the yamen and dealing with things on the spot, and Wei Ci, Fang Jun, and Zhao Zhong were responsible for uniting the Lingzhou County Ya in the city to carry out the investigation as soon as possible.

After the meeting, the matter was decided, and it didn't matter if there were any results, at least everyone had a clear direction, and they also had the goal and motivation to do things.

So the meeting broke up, and everyone quickly came out together.

Du Yi quickly found Zhou Ang with a scroll of paper, handed him the things, and said: "The results of the current investigation show that the Lu family is on the Zhanzhou side, and they also left the uncle of Lu Xun, the current head of the Lu family, although their property in Zhanzhou has been sold a lot, but there are still some left, all of which he is taking care of, some land, and some shops, but after investigation, it was found that their medicinal material business over there has not been sold, and now it can be regarded as their family's main industry in Zhanzhou." ”

Zhou Ang listened to him as he took the paper roll and opened it.

At this time, Du Yi had already said: "As for Lingzhou, it seems that they are mainly buying shops and buying some land in the countryside, not much, and scattered and not large-scale. As for the most important partners in the business, there are many of them listed on this paper, all of which are relatively easy to find, you can take a closer look at who you need to investigate, although tell me, I will arrange for someone to do it. ”

Zhou Ang hurriedly thanked him, and then his gaze fell on the paper.

There are more than a dozen names, and the general matters of cooperation between the two sides are attached to the end.

Zhou Ang wants to investigate this, and the goal is naturally to dig out the true identity of the "big man", and the further purpose is to find an opportunity to break into the underground trade fair.

Judging from the content of the conversation between Lu Tao and the driver after participating in the trade fair, the reason why the Lu family was able to quickly enter the underground trade fair convened and organized by the "Mr. Big" as soon as they moved to Lingzhou was because they had been doing a lot of business with "Mr. Big" before, and it has continued until now. Even, the scale of this business is so large that "Mr. Big" has to pay attention to it.

In other words, the two families had a large amount of business dealings on the surface before, and they were business partners, and at the same time, they were both familiar with each other's identities in the cultivation world.

Considering that the original roots of the Lu family were in Zhanzhou, and "Mr. Big" must be a big businessman in Lingzhou, in fact, the scope of this goal is not large.

At this moment, after a cursory sweep of the names on the list handed over by Du Yi, Zhou Ang's eyes fell on one of the names that were not very conspicuous - Li Xian.

Just talking about this name, Zhou Ang actually has no impression, but the general industry of Li Xian listed behind this name made Zhou Ang recall a lot of things at once.

At the beginning, the mountain gate suddenly disappeared, and the master, uncle, and Xiao Aochun all left him at once, and Zhou Ang was depressed for a while, and he couldn't lift his spirits by doing anything, so he had to run to the dock by the Lingjiang River every morning to find a tea stall to drink tea.

It was at that tea stall that he learned a lot of anecdotes from the mouth of the tea stall owner, as well as many things that at that time, he thought was useless when he heard it, so he forgot about it later.

But now, when it comes to the Lu family, many things Zhou Ang quickly recalled.

Li Xian, a well-known figure in Lingzhou City, and one of his most well-known identities should be the boat gang boss who is known as the No. 1 on the Lingjiang River! It is said that thousands of people have followed him to eat!

It's just that about him, this investigation seems too sloppy, and there are at least two things that Zhou Ang already knows, and it is not listed at all.

First, this Li Xian's original name was Li Huzi, and he changed his name to Li Xian after he made a fortune.

Second, when the Lu family moved to Lingzhou, from front to back, all the household assets, utensils, etc., were transported by Li Xian and Li Huzi's fleet on the Lingjiang River.

And this investigation clearly recorded one thing, that is: the Lu family's medicinal herb business and the rice collected in the Lu family's fields were all transported to Lingzhou through Li Xian's ship, and then transferred to land transportation in Lingzhou, a thoroughfare, and went north to Chang'an!

This level of cooperative relations, and even the scale of cooperation, in the entire Lingzhou City, do not think about the second person for the time being - and a poor boy who started from a poor family, according to the owner of the tea stall, could not even mix up food back then, relying on his own hard work, in one or two decades, he became a shipping boss on the rampant river, which is really reverie!

Do you rely on ingenuity?

This is, of course, the foundation that all those who have achieved success throughout the ages. People with insufficient IQ, even if they are blown into the sky by a strong wind, will soon fall down and die as the wind suddenly stops.

But this Li Xian and Li Huzi have become shipping bosses, not in a day or two, or a year or two.

So, this must be a smart guy.

But being a smart person isn't enough.

At present, there is a saying called "the foot teeth of the car and ship shop, if you catch it, you should be killed", why?

It is said that the transportation and service industry in this era, in fact, is commerce, although the government is also seriously managing and restricting, but the dark side behind the scenes is still very large, very much.

Like shipping, even though the Tang Dynasty officials ruled Qingming, but in Lingzhou County, it is still far from being left untouched on the road, the boat is on the river, whether it is rice, flour, grain and oil, or tea and medicinal materials, there is no doubt that they are valuable things, there are few sharpened good knives to hold both sides of the river, do you think no one will rob the boat?

In the same way, if you weren't for your skills, would you be able to hold down dozens of sturdy men on a boat? Or even let dozens or even hundreds or even thousands of people willingly eat with you? You have pulled up a large number of people under your hands and created a big business, do you think no one will be greedy?

And this Li Xian Li Huzi is a self-made man who can not only suppress the hearts of people on both sides of the river, but also suppress the thousands of men who are transported by ship - in a world where there are cultivators, for Zhou Ang, his identity hardly has to make a second guess!

He almost must, and must be, a practitioner!

It's just that in the past, Li Xian has always been low-key, and his business is quite clean, so not only Zhou Ang, but even the official cultivators have not paid much attention to him.

At this time, after reading the list, Zhou Ang's finger fell on Li Xian's name, and said to Du Yi: "Brother Ziyu, next, can you help me check this person? Be careful, don't be discovered by the other party." ”

Du Yi looked down at Li Xian's name, nodded immediately, and said cheerfully: "No problem!"
