In the past few years since Yan Er moved to Bauhinia Village, although the business has not done much, he has accumulated some prestige and contacts because of his vision, sincerity and loyalty. It is the uncrowned king of this Bauhinia Village, and the patriarchs of Zhou, Wang, and Zheng also want to give him some face, and after he came to the door to invite, they deigned to come to the Yan family's small tofu shop together.

When the three patriarchs saw Yu Tianlai waiting in the tofu workshop, they were all slightly stunned, exchanged glances with each other, and had some thoughts in their hearts. Zheng Tai, the patriarch of the Zheng family, said with a smile: "It turned out that the head of the Yu sect wanted to see the three of us. ”

After defeating Huang Tianhu, a famous boxer brought by Zheng Heihu, there were more and more young people in Bauhinia Village who came to practice martial arts with Yu Tianlai, and later everyone called Yu Tianlai "Little Sect Head" without a name.

Yu Tianlai stepped forward with a smile to salute: "It's just that the younger generation has some things to discuss with the three masters, and he doesn't want to make everyone know, so I bother Uncle Yan to come to the door and want to invite." How presumptuous, please don't blame the three masters. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. "The three patriarchs are all old and mature, and they have long seen that Yu Tianlai is definitely not a thing in the pool, but they don't dare to treat him as a junior or junior.

After the ceremony, everyone sat down, and sisters Yim Wing Chun and Yim Wing Chiu served tea to entertain the guests.

After the tea was put aside, the three patriarchs secretly exchanged their eyes again, and Zhou Fangde, the patriarch of the Zhou family, asked, "I don't know what the little sect leader invited me to come to see and teach?"

Yu Tianlai went straight to the point: "The three masters are the mainstay of our Bauhinia Village. Now that the Great Sage Peak is occupied by mountain thieves, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to sleep and eat in the future. The younger generation alarmed the three today, just to ask the three for an idea. ”

The eyes of the three patriarchs all flashed, and Wang Lei, the patriarch of the Wang family, smiled bitterly: "The little sect leader has exalted the three of us old guys. That bandit has a knife and a gun in his hand, he is really a man-made knife, and I am a fish and meat, so what can I do but let it be slaughtered? The lives of more than 70 people of all ages in Baishui Village are placed there, and we dare not risk the hundreds of lives of Bauhinia Village. ”

Hearing that the other party seemed to have guessed the purpose of inviting them to come and faintly expressed his refusal, Yu Tianlai was neither surprised nor anxious. He tapped his fingers slowly on the tabletop, pondering for a moment with a calm mind that was extremely incommensurate with his age, before he spoke again: "Have the three masters ever thought that if they agreed to the bandit's request and asked each merchant to pay 30% of their profits on a monthly basis as 'Taiping money', how long can the prosperity of our Bauhinia Village be maintained?"

Yan Er helped on the side in a timely manner: "I don't know how others are, but Yan's tofu shop has a small profit, and if he gives away 30% of the profits, it will really be a loss of money in business." Three months at most, it will definitely go bankrupt!"

Seeing that the faces of the three patriarchs were a little ugly, Yu Tianlai knew that his future father-in-law's words hit their hearts, after all, the most profitable cattle and horses, medicinal materials and timber businesses in Bauhinia Village were held in the hands of Zhou, Wang, and Zheng respectively, and if it was said that the loss was naturally the largest of the three.

Zhou Fangde coughed lightly and said, "Maybe we can ask someone to go up the mountain to negotiate with the other party, if we can reduce the proportion of this Taiping money by a few points......"

Yu Tianlai sighed: "If you just pay money, everyone will grit their teeth and squeeze out some hard-earned money, and they will admit it, but I am afraid that the thieves will not be satisfied." Not to mention, the bandits are now building a cottage, and if they want the town to work for them, will the three masters agree or not? If they refuse, the bandits will not give up; if they agree, the crime of bandits will be confirmed. In case the government learns about this, it may not be able to help the bandits, but there are means to manipulate us!"

The faces of the three patriarchs became more and more ugly, and the situation that Yu Tianlai said was indeed very likely.

Yu Tianlai continued: "When the bandits have established a solid foundation in the Great Sage Peak, they will inevitably recruit troops to expand their power. In addition to looting money, they are afraid that they will also ask us to supply food, horses, weapons, and even pull people into the gang, and then will the three masters agree? Another joke, I heard that the second leader of the bandits, the 'Flying Monkey' Yuan Jie, is lustful as his life, if he values the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law of that family, will the three masters have to hand over people?"

The three patriarchs looked at me, and they fell silent with each other. Not to mention the previous situation, Yu Tian's last sentence is by no means a joke, at least Zheng Tai's family has a little daughter known as a flower in Bauhinia Village, Wang Lei also just accepted an eighteen-year-old beautiful concubine last year, who can guarantee that Yuan Jie will not be tempted to do anything to them? If this kind of thing really happens, what face will these two patriarchs have to come out to meet people?

After a while, Zhou Fangde asked in a dry voice: "Little Sect Leader, we all understand what you mean. If you really have a better way, you might as well say it and let's go through it together. ”

Yu Tianlai smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the three masters, the juniors have quietly gone to the Great Sage Peak last night, and they are confident that they have figured out the reality of the bandits." If the three masters promise to help each other with all their might, the juniors are 100% sure that they will destroy this gang of thieves and completely eradicate this bane for everyone!"

The eyes of the three patriarchs lit up at the same time, and they all secretly knew about the young man in front of them who had already established a high reputation among the young children of Bauhinia Village, and they knew that he was not suitable for his age. Since he said these words at this moment, he is ten percent sure that he does not dare to believe it, but he must have a comprehensive plan.

Zheng Tai immediately asked: "What is the plan of the little sect leader?"

Yu Tianlai beckoned to Yim Wing Chun, and Yim Wing Chun immediately took out a large piece of paper from the counter and sent it, unfolding it on the table in front of everyone.

A sketch was drawn on this piece of paper, and although it was only a rough outline, it clearly drew the distribution structure of the humble cottage on the Great Sage Peak.

Yu Tianlai immediately pointed to the sketch and explained his long-conceived plan to the three patriarchs in detail. Finally, he said: "If you can act according to my plan, it should not be difficult to completely annihilate that group of bandits, and you can avoid our casualties to the greatest extent, what do the three masters think?"

The three patriarchs were all silent in thought, but looking at the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they were all moved.

Seeing this, Yu Tianlai lost no time in adding the last fire: "If you can exterminate the bandits and report this credit to the government, you should be able to exchange for a good future." The younger generation is a wild person, and he can't tolerate the restraint of others, and then the three masters can make the decision to deal with this matter. In addition, the Yuan brothers have been doing business on the Ancient Tea Horse Road for many years without capital, and they must have saved a lot of money, and the younger generations are also not interested in those things outside the body......"

Speaking of this, the three patriarchs finally made up their minds, talked to each other in a low voice, and Wang Lei said to Yu Tianlai: "Since the little sect leader is willing to take a righteous shot, we will bet on the lives of the whole town's young and old, and accompany the little sect leader to give it a go!"
