Back at Longmen, the first thing Guo Yitian had to do was to raise nine thousand taels of silver, so the first person who came to mind was Li Yu's housekeeper. So Guo Yitian sent someone to summon Li Yu over, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for a figure. I don't know what Li Yu is doing, usually at this time he is taking care of the affairs of the dragon gate.

Guo Yitian ran out of patience, so he went to Li Yu's guest room to see what he was doing. When I opened the door, I found that the person was not inside. The servant hurriedly ran over to explain that Li Yu had gone on a business trip because of something. Guo Yitian asked in confusion, where did Steward Li go, did he explain. The servant looked embarrassed, shook his head, and whispered that he had not said anything.

At this critical point in time, Li Yu didn't know what he was thinking. Moreover, the location of the Longmen vault is very hidden, and there are two keys, one in the hand of Guo Yitian, the owner of the door, and the other in the hand of Li Yu. To open the door to the vault, two keys must be inserted into the lock hole at the same time.

Now there is only one key for Guo Yitian, and without the key in Li Yu's hand, even if he uses a strong internal force to break the door, it will become futile. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Guo Yitian's forehead, and if he couldn't raise the required amount of money within three days, Master Li would be treated unfairly.

Guo Yitian then asked, when will Li Yu return. The servant replied that it would take about a week to return, and that the affairs of the gang would be managed by Bandit II. Guo Yitian didn't say a word, and went to find the location where the second bandit was, maybe he had the key to the vault that Li Yu gave him.

Came to the Yihe Tavern on Chengnan Street in Suzhou, where the second bandit was responsible for guarding the normal operation of the hall. After Guo Yitian saw the second bandit, he seemed to see hope.

The second bandit saw Guo Yitian and hurriedly came over to greet him: "Is the master of the Guo Sect here to drink? I asked the chef to stir-fry for you." Guo Yitian shook his hand and refused: "No need, I'm not hungry now." "Bandit II was called over by the cook, and it might be a bit of a triviality. Guo Yitian stopped him and asked, "Second bandit, I have something I want to ask you, let's sit down and talk." ”

The two sat at the empty table, and the second bandit said bluntly: "If there is anything to say directly, Master Guo, I am a rough person, and my reply never beats around the bush." Guo Yitian asked, "Didn't Li Yu let you act as the housekeeper for a few days?, then do you have the key to the Longmen Vault now?" Guo Yitian saw honesty in his transparent eyes, but it made him anxious.

The second bandit asked casually, "Master Guo, what do you want the key to the vault for?" If you are short of money, I can help you raise enough 1,000 taels of silver. The expression on Guo Yitian's face was still very helpless, and he explained: "It's not enough! I need more urgently needed silver." The second bandit felt very strange, how could Guo Yitian, who had always been known for his savings, become so desperate for money. Bai Lang, the previous master of Longmen Gate, was in urgent need of money, and later found out that he was using it for gambling. said that he wanted to build a Chunfeng Building, but it cost a lot of money.

Now business in Suzhou is not doing well, and it is much easier to spend money than to make money. So the second bandit asked, "Then how many taels of silver does the Guo Sect Master want to solve the urgent need?" As long as I can raise it, I will definitely help the Sect Master complete the task. Guo Yitian's face was happy, and he said straight to the point: "Nine thousand taels, have you raised it?"

The second bandit was dumbfounded, nine thousand taels was a month's profit of Suzhou Yihe Commerce. If these profits are misappropriated, a vicious circle will be created for the normal operation of Suzhou Yihe Commerce. The second bandit replied in a consultative tone: "Nine thousand taels?! Can you wait for Steward Li to come back and let him decide if he can give you so much money urgently. ”

Guo Yitian resolutely denied: "No, I must raise so much money in two days, otherwise I will punish you and Li Yu in accordance with the Longmen regulations." Bandit Er was terrified when he heard the punishment, after all, he rarely saw Guo Yitian's expression so serious, so he analyzed: "Chunfeng Building has already spent more than 1,000 taels of silver, and now it will cost more than 9,000 taels of silver." For the sake of all the people in Longmen, and for the orderly conduct of Suzhou Yihe business, my subordinates really can't do what you want. ”

Guo Yitian was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't want to overwhelm Bandit II with his absolute authority. Because absolute power corrupts absolutely, power must be locked in the cage of the system. Guo Yitian asked: "Then I'd better discuss the reasonableness of this matter with Steward Li, but I don't know his current location." Bandit two, quickly tell me Li Yu's location, this is an order. ”

The second bandit tried hard to recall Li Yu's explanation to him before parting, and if Guo Yitian asked him where he went, he said that he had gone home to visit his relatives.

As for where Li Yu's hometown is, the second bandit doesn't know at all, but he knows that the first bandit knows where Li Yu's hometown is. When Guo Yitian was about to leave to look for the bandits, Bandit One and Bandit Three walked into the Boxer Tavern sweatingly, it seemed that they were here to drink.

When Bandit Two explains the situation to Bandit One. The bandit replied to Guo Yitian: "I know that Steward Li is the uncle of the lord of Han Zhai, and Han Fen's hometown is on the shore of the West Lake in Hangzhou. And Steward Li is also from Hangzhou, and his family lives in the Li family compound in Hangzhou City. However, Lord Guomen, Hangzhou is a hundred miles away from Suzhou, and even if it takes three days to go back and forth. ”

After Guo Yitian heard this, he immediately walked out of the Yihe Tavern, and didn't even say goodbye, it seemed that he really needed this money urgently.

After flying out of the south city gate with light skills, Guo Yitian directly summoned the green dragon and rode on the dragon's back to the Li family compound in Suzhou City at great speed.

In less than half an hour, Guo Yitian successfully arrived at his destination. The green dragon descended, and Guo Yitian jumped directly from above. There was a knock on the door, and the servant did not know who the other party was. When night falls, if you encounter an enemy with evil intentions, the entire Li family compound will encounter an accident.

When the servant told Li Yu about this, Li Yu knew in his heart that Guo Yitian must have something to visit. In fact, Li Yu had long known that Guo Yitian was here to redeem Master Li. When he knew that the price of handing over the contract was 9,000 taels, he had to evade Guo Yitian's request for money on the grounds of going home to visit relatives.

"What should come will come, open the door. Li Yu instructed the servant.

"But sir, what if the enemy comes?" said the servant.

"The people outside are the owners of the Dragon Gate, don't worry, I won't have any accidents. Li Yu said calmly.

Guo Yitian entered the Li family compound, and the courtyard was very clean. The spring cold is steep, blowing a hint of wind and blowing off a green leaf. As the servant walked on, the bricks on the floor were carefully discerned, and many broken pieces could be seen. It seems that the history of the Li family's compound should be relatively old, even much older than Guo Yitian's age.

In the quiet night, the hall is brightly lit. Following the light, the servant introduced the master to sit in the hall. A gust of wind blew, raising a puff of sand and dust, and Guo Yitian shivered unconsciously.

When he came to the hall, Guo Yitian finally met Li Yu, and his heart was full of excitement. Li Yu asked knowingly: "The visit of Master Guo to the Humble House really makes the Humble House shine. I don't know what the master of the Guo Sect came here to see the old man?"
