Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, summer is almost over. During this time, everyone was full and even a little busy, because their chamber of commerce opened.

On the night when Jiang Yuan failed to recruit masters, under the suggestion of Yunyun, the four of them had an open and honest conversation, exchanged ideas in their hearts, and preliminarily determined the tone of future development.

In fact, the only one who really has an idea is Yunyun. Jiang Yuan seems to be shrewd, but he is actually impulsive. Everything is based on one's own likes and dislikes, and he does not like to use his brain.

Feng Cheng is as simple as a blank piece of paper, his wish is just to get out of the mountains and see the outside world.

And Zhang Bao didn't know what his thoughts were, and he was very happy to be with Jiang Yuan. Now there are two more Yun and Feng Cheng, that is, the only three friends he has in this world. Although he was always bullied by Jiang Yuan, he also enjoyed it.

The clouds are different, with a strange background and a blood feud. He didn't want to impose his experience on his peers. It's not that they don't trust, but that they are afraid of causing them trouble and harm. So he decided to take it alone.

However, there was a difference of opinion on the issue of going and staying, and according to Yunyun's idea, the matter of the Daan Chamber of Commerce has come to an end. Jiang Yuan should no longer stay in Jiangbei to take risks, and should follow his father's arrangement to return to Jiangnan.

However, Jiang Dashao firmly reiterated that he no longer needed to hide under the wings of his family after experiencing life and death, so he resolutely did not go to Jiangnan. In fact, the real idea in my heart is that I don't want to be dictated by his father anymore. And now that the safety of the Dajiang Gang is guaranteed, it is not necessarily much better to return to Jiangnan. Although there is less threat from the Sky Wolf Gang, after all, the foundation of the Shadow Poison Gate is also in Jiangnan. And I heard that the tasks taken by the Shadow Poison Gate are endless, and once he goes back, he will be confined to his own old man at home, which is worse than death for him who is out of nature.

Yun couldn't resist him, so he had to agree. However, a new problem has arisen, how to survive? We can't always rely on Zhang Bao's scourge of stealing chickens and dogs to harm our own family! After some discussion, everyone decided to reopen the Chamber of Commerce. After all, Jiang Yuan has managed the Da'an headquarters for a few months, and he is quite familiar with doing things. Moreover, Da'an has been operating in Jiangbei for many years, and many relationships are intertwined, and now they can be reused. The peripheral guys who were dismissed before leaving can also find a way to recall.

So Jiang Yuan passed everyone's ideas to his father. Unexpectedly, seven days later, he received a silver ticket of 300,000 taels and a note. There are only four words written on it. Come to think of it, his dad also has the idea of not putting his eggs in one basket.

opened the road with 5,000 taels of silver, and with the relationship of the old man of Zhang Bao's family, all the procedures were completed within two days. Now everything is ready, just a name. Jiang Dashao insisted that half a year ago, Jiangbei Da'an was turned into ashes in his hands, and now it is unlucky whether it is called Da'an or New Da'an. So after a night of contemplation, a vulgar name was born in the mind of Da Shao, who had no ink in his heart. And so it was born.

Except for a few days after the opening, there was some rush, and now Daihatsu is gradually on track. The business is still the fur and medicinal herbs that Da'an was familiar with. Due to Zhang Bao's relationship, Dafa also got involved in the silk industry. Not to mention that the fat man really inherited a little bit of his father's talent for business, and he took care of his hair in an orderly manner in just two months.

It's time to leave. Looking at the busy figures of the partners and the thriving chamber of commerce, Yun Yun made a decision.

That night, after dinner, Yun told the other three friends that he wanted to leave. Surprisingly, several people did not object.

Jiang Yuan said solemnly: "Brother, we know that you have something buried in your heart. You didn't say it, and we didn't want to ask anything. Life in the world for decades, vigorous is also a lifetime, and cowering is also a lifetime. Do whatever you want, just remember to come back here when you're tired or unhappy. Here are your brothers and friends!"

Hehe, Yun smiled. Everyone inadvertently wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes and punched the fat man: "Okay! After a few days of opening the Chamber of Commerce, he is now a civilized person and has learned to sensationalize!"

In everyone's laughter, things were settled. Yun refused Feng Cheng's accompaniment, he knew that Dafa's foundation was still too thin. There is no master in charge, and now it seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is vulnerable. Jiang Yuan is a little clever but too impulsive, Zhang Bao is a son-in-law and as fragile as a woman, so he can't count on it at all. Only Feng Chenggongfu is good, and he is calm and careful when encountering problems. Just like the last assassination, everyone realized afterwards that the cloud didn't feel right, it was purely an instinctive intuition of danger. And Feng Cheng found that two magpies that were supposed to rest at night were hovering around the big tree at the door, but they didn't dare to return to the nest, so they were sure that there were people in the tree. He is ashamed of his observation power. With him staying in Jiangdu, not only is his safety guaranteed, but he can also calmly give opinions and suggestions when encountering problems that are difficult to solve.

So early the next morning, Yun refused to accept the farewell of his brothers and went on the road alone. His first stop was Tongjiang, because the Jiangbei chief helm of the news building was there.

The news building is an independent organization, he does not belong to any gang, and he does not participate in the disputes between the rivers and lakes. But there you can buy most of the information you need. And the news building never sells false information, if they don't know, they will tell you honestly, and they won't charge you anything. If the message is incomplete, they will rationally help you analyze it until you are satisfied, of course, there is a fee. Moreover, the news building has a wide range of contacts, and it is said that as long as you can afford to spend the money, even the prince can help you find out if he goes to the thatched house several times a day. Although the rumors may be exaggerated, the huge power of the news building can be seen from this.

Jiang did not have a news building, because the Dajiang Gang itself collected and betrayed the news by taking advantage of the convenience of communicating between the north and the south. But after all, the time for the rise of the Great River Gang is too short, and there is no record of such old things as Yun Yun wants to check. Therefore, Tongjiang News Building has become the first stop of the cloud inspection of Fang Zhongtian.

There was nothing to say all the way, and seven days later, the cloud arrived at Tongjiang, first found an inn to live in, and came to the street after a simple lunch.

Tongjiang is not as prosperous as Jiangdu but has a long history, with various shops lining the streets. Many of them are antique, and the signboards of century-old stores and ten-year-old stores can be seen everywhere.

Yun is not interested in shopping, he is looking for a store with the word interest in the name. Because the news building is not an open organization, ordinary people are unaware of its existence. Yun also learned about it by accident by listening to the old account room in the Chamber of Commerce and others bragging about it, and then deliberately inquired about it. According to people familiar with the matter, if you want to find the news building, you need to look for shops with interest characters in the downtown area, which may be restaurants, tailors, or brothels, and there is no pattern at all. After finding it, just tell the steward that you want to buy the news, and he will send you to the location of the news building. Of course, if you are face-to-face, the other party may also test and observe you. As soon as the other party feels that you are a threat, they will terminate the transaction with you and tactfully ask you to leave. So far, I haven't heard of a big fight between the news building and a customer.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to walk in the clouds, and I found a store with interest on the back street. It's just that what makes him a little crying and laughing is that it is a coffin shop. After explaining his intentions to the boss, the balding old man just looked at him a few times and led him to the backyard and into a fully enclosed carriage.

The carriage came out of the back door, and soon the clouds lost its direction. It was only allowed to travel for half an hour before it was dropped off in a large warehouse. Again, there is no iconic sight to be seen, surrounded by wooden shelves with stacks of dossiers. He was received by a veiled woman.

"May I ask you what we need us to do?" the woman was polite, but her tone was very indifferent.

"I want to know the news of Fang Zhongtian, he should be a person from the rivers and lakes, and he may be not young. By the way, others must be in Jiangbei. ”

"Oh!" the woman frowned slightly, probably not impressed. So he searched on a wooden shelf for a while, and then came back with a few thin pieces of paper and said, "There are a total of twenty-seven people named Fang Zhongtian that we have recorded. The oldest is seventy years old, and the youngest is fourteen. Among them were sixteen who proved to be no longer alive. Two of the remaining eleven are under twenty years old, and they shouldn't be the ones you're looking for. Five of the remaining nine are in Jiangnan, and only four of them fully meet your criteria. One is a dart master of the Jiangbei Shun'an Dart Bureau, forty-seven years old, without a family, and his martial arts are average. One is a person from a family in Jiangbei, the specific age is unknown, and now he is about forty years old, and his family and skills are unknown. Fifteen years ago, he followed the owner of Fangjiazhai to attend the eight-year celebration of the founding of the Liu Chamber of Commerce, so it will be recorded. The third person is a small leader of the Tiger Eagle Gang, forty-one years old, with very poor martial arts, and has a wife and two daughters. The last person was forty-two years old, and he was once the chief disciple of the Taizheng Sword, and his martial arts were very high. Disappeared at the age of twenty-one, he is said to have joined the anti-Yuan organization, but has not been seen since. And the Taisho Sword has also declined in recent decades, and now there are only about sixty people, and there are no masters. Eleven years ago, the Taisho Sword and the Earth Dragon Sect fought and almost all the troops were wiped out. At the critical moment, one person killed the nineteen masters of the Dragon Sect in a row, solved the danger of the Great Sword, and then walked away. According to the old man of the Great Sho Sword, it may be the former great disciple Fang Zhongtian, but there is no evidence. That's all there is to it. Hope it helps. We will give you a copy of all the information. Because it is not too detailed, I will only charge you five hundred taels of silver. Thank you!"
