Chapter 55 An unexpected business trip
"Give me a reason, why do you, a handsome thief, come to the house of a poor man like me who can't tell the truth?"
He couldn't tell what his mood was, but Fang Ru was very sure. He didn't welcome the extremely handsome man in front of him to his home, and the unique fragrance was unpleasant to him.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the fragrance itself, it's mainly that Chu Liuxiang is so handsome, and standing on the roof, against the moonlight, he looks even more handsome.
It makes people very unhappy!
The folding fan was gently swayed, and a wise light flashed in his eyes. Chu Liuxiang smiled casually: "I have some news that I want to inform Guo Juxia. I'd like to ask Fang Shenping to convey it to you."
"You don't think that just because of your handsome face, you can persuade a man like me to help you, do you?"
"I picked up three hundred taels of silver outside the door, but I don't know who the owner is."
"Huh? I am a dignified six-door keeper who has always regarded money as dirt. How can I bow my head for three hundred taels of silver?"
Seeing Fang Nian's indignant look, Chu Liuxiang smiled playfully: "Does Fang Shenquan mean that I picked up less?"
"Hey~ This is what you said, I never mentioned it!"
The transaction process did not go smoothly. Fang Ru felt that Chu Liuxiang was too stingy. He came all the way to his house and was not even willing to add a hundred taels of silver. Good or bad.
In business, isn't it normal to raise the price and pay back the money when you ask? Even the fun of bargaining is deprived of this. Chu Liuxiang can't deal with this person.
I don't know if it was to keep it secret, but Chu Liuxiang just handed Fang Ru a letter with a scent and turned around to leave.
It must be a big deal for him, a bandit commander, to come and deliver the news in person. He was a little curious, but since they were looking for Guo Juxia by name, Fang Ji would naturally not ask for trouble.
I went to give it to Guo Juxia early the next morning. After reading the content on the letter, Guo Juxia had no unusual expression and just asked lightly.
"How much did you earn this time?"
"Not much. Chu Liuxiang is unworthy of being called the Commander-in-Chief of Thieves. He was too stingy and only gave me three hundred taels."
"Then I'll let you make more money!"
Frowning his brows, Fang Ji looked at Guo Juxia warily: "Old Guo, what other ideas do you have to trick me?"
Although Guo Juxia has never paid much attention to him making extra money, this is the first time he has taken the initiative to help him make money. A man who has been abiding by the law for half his life suddenly makes illegal remarks. There must be fraud!
"Then do you earn it?"
"earn!"
If it were the shooting vulture, Fang Rui would definitely disdain it. It would only be a few hundred taels, and it would be enough to sweep a few more gangster dens. But now it is inconvenient for him to travel far away, and he can only think that no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are just meat.
"What sinful deal did you make with Lao Guo? Why do you have to take me on a business trip with a wounded person?"
He repeatedly confirmed that the mission statement in his hand to investigate the theft of Tianyi Divine Water was written by Guo Juxia himself, and Fang Ru's facial features were tangled together.
"Also, what do you mean by listening more to Chu Liuxiang's arrangements? It sounds like I'm a hard-working wage earner who was betrayed by my boss!"
According to Fang Ru's memory, Guo Juxia was not so unkind. Li Mochou's injury had not recovered yet and she would be unable to bear the slightest bump.
Because of this, his leave request was approved so quickly, but why did he have to be sent out now?
To put it shamelessly, among the younger generation of the Six Doors, Guo Juxia should be the one who trusts him the most, because Fang not only has the ability to save his life, but also has the intelligence to escape successfully.
Back then, when Zhui Feng was a young man, he accidentally entered a bandit's den and was being hunted. Fang happened to be passing by. He just saw that Zhui Feng was honest and said that his family was very rich, so he came to help.
But Fang Ru did not kill the bandits who were chasing them, but only used various methods to injure their legs and feet, which puzzled Zhui Feng at the time.
When Guo Juxia asked about it later, Fang Jie's answer was: "Those thieves didn't know Zhui Feng's true identity and only regarded him as a kid from a rich family. At best, it's normal for wild dogs to want to eat meat and bones after seeing them. But
I will never fight for this bone.
Injuring those who are pursuing will make them more burdensome and will not arouse their murderous intentions. On the contrary, after demonstrating their force, they will consider whether to continue chasing.
Of course, the most important thing is that he and Zhui Feng did not have the strength to kill all the bandits, so escaping is the first priority."
At that time, Fang Rui looked like he was only in his early ten years, but his eloquent manner left a deep impression on Guo Juxia.
A person with a flexible mind and a bottom line in his heart will definitely live longer and be more suitable as a successor than a person who is full of justice but does not understand the situation and only cares about running rampant.
Over the years, Guo Juxia has actually been considering whether Fang Ru is qualified to take over his position. Fang Ru is undisciplined and greedy for money. He will only be eager to try when he can make money.
This is not a big problem. In the past, when he was young, he had the same youthful spirit. Whether voluntarily or helplessly, time will always make people calmer.
Fang Ru's work was okay, but after all, he never saw the big scene. Without repeated hard work, he won't be able to become something great.
So Guo Juxia and Chu Liuxiang reached an agreement. He used the power of the Six Doors to investigate intelligence, and Chu Liuxiang wanted to take Fang Ni to see the broader sky.
Chu Liuxiang was surprised. Fang Ru's reputation was not good in their perception. He was pretentious and greedy, and the words used to describe Fang Ru were all abusive.
But he admired Guo Juxia's character very much, otherwise he would not have informed about this important matter. The enemy's purpose was unknown and the stolen Tianyi Divine Water had some weight and could kill any master without anyone noticing.
As a giant of both black and white, Guo Juxia was very likely to be among the targets, so he came specifically to deliver the letter.
Moreover, the man behind the scenes intentionally or unintentionally pushed the blame on him, which made Chu Liuxiang very unhappy. After all, Guo Juxia was in the court, and if he really believed it, it would be a bit troublesome for Chu Liuxiang.
It didn't matter what misunderstanding others had about him, but if they took him for a fool, Chu Liuxiang wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson personally.
"Hey! You can go out, but we have to make an agreement first!"
The sudden voice interrupted Chu Liuxiang's thoughts. He chuckled lightly, looked at Fang Ji who looked unhappy and said, "What is the three chapters of the agreement?"
"First, don't disturb me when I'm sleeping!"
"nature."
"Second, if there is something you want me to go to, and I don't want to go, you can't force me by any means!"
"Oh, okay."
"Third, I'll leave the expenses for Mochou and I on the road to you!"
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter!"
Chu Liuxiang is still young and has not lost his playful spirit. It would be interesting to have a young man who is younger than himself and has an out-of-the-box personality to go on the road with him.
But he suddenly felt that Guo Juxia might have misjudged the situation. The man in front of him didn't look like a money-grubbing catcher, but more like a businessman who only had money in mind. He was a very interesting young man.
But I'm afraid it will take a long time for him to take on a big responsibility.
"etc!"
"What's the matter?"
"Have you eaten? Let's go to Yun Lai Lou for a meal first?"
Chapter completed!
