When he heard Mrs. Cai's refusal, Liu Yitian said as usual: "Sit down, sit down first. May I ask where you two have lived for a long time?"
Cai Shaolu said: "We have lived in Gusu City forever."
Liu Yitian's eyes lit up and he said, "Gusu City is a great place. What are you doing here this time?"
Cai Shaolu said: "Our family originally ran a silk and satin business. After my father passed away, the business was not as good as before. I heard that there is a shortage of food in the north every winter, so I came here to see if I could start a food business."
All the people in nearby Qiyuan County had strange expressions on their faces.
Li Qingxian heard Liu Yitian's message: "He will definitely not be able to do the grain business. We can try to figure it out slowly."
Li Qingxian remembered that many big businesses in the North were controlled by major forces. For example, it was strange to go to Baoyuan City to deliver food. People from the Baosheng faction were required to escort them.
While Liu Yitian was chatting with the three members of the Cai family, Li Qingxian secretly used his fortune-telling skills. His eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly stopped observing his fortune and fell into deep thought.
Not long after, Liu Yitian once again wanted to accept Cai Xuyuan as his disciple, but Cai and his wife declined again.
Liu Yitian sighed softly, expressing his understanding, and finally said: "You two are here to do business in Qiyuan City, so I won't disturb you. If you two are interested in letting me get started, you can come to Shen Gong Sect at any time."
"Master Liu, Gao Yi, bid farewell."
Cai Shaolu pulled the child out. The child turned to look at the big black bow behind Liu Yitian and walked crookedly.
Li Qingxian smiled and said, "Do you want to join the Divine Gong Sect?"
The fat-headed Cai Xuyuan nodded vigorously.
"Wait a minute." Li Qingxian said, pretending to take something out of his pocket.
The three members of the Cai family looked at Li Qingxian.
Li Qingxian took out a jade pendant, handed it to Cai Xuyuan, and then said to Cai Shaolu: "This child is destined to me. This is a meeting gift to ward off evil spirits. You have already offered to become a disciple, so don't refuse this small gift."
Cai Shaolu glanced at the jade pendant and said, "This jade is of excellent quality and is too valuable."
"Let the child keep it and treat it as a small toy." Li Qingxian said.
"Okay, thank you Li Keqing."
Li Qingxian smiled, looked at Cai Xuyuan and said, "As long as you think about it, you can definitely do it."
The child grinned, walked hand in hand with his parents, and disappeared into the crowd.
Li Qingxian asked: "Uncle Liu, how do you determine whether the two of you can do business?"
Liu Yitian sighed and said: "You haven't lived in the North for a long time, so you don't understand. In the winter in Qiyuan City, natural disasters, foreigners, and man-made disasters all come together, and food shortages occur every now and then."
"I understand both natural disasters and foreigners. When you talk about man-made disasters, do you mean that someone prevents outsiders from doing the food business, causing a food shortage?" Li Qingxian asked.
Liu Yitian lowered his voice and said, "Do you know Beitong Escort Agency?"
"Of course, it was the largest bodyguard bureau in the north at that time, but in the end, Niu Beitong, the chief bodyguard who founded the bodyguard bureau, washed his hands and handed over the huge bodyguard bureau to others. I heard that several wealthy families in Qi State joined forces to take over the Beitong bodyguard bureau.
I came to Qiyuan City this time just to go with the Beitong Escort Bureau." Li Qingxian said.
"The cause of the incident at Beitong Escort Bureau was that someone else's food was tampered with."
Li Qingxian nodded lightly.
"In the fall of that year, there was a severe drought in the north, and there was no harvest. In the winter, there was heavy snow and the roads were blocked. The harvest was not good, so they went south in large numbers and plundered everywhere. The grain output in the north was already small. As a result, grain merchants hoarded it and the price of grain skyrocketed.
, causing some people to starve to death. Niu Beitong was born in a poor family, and the money for learning martial arts was collected by the villagers. Later, he established the huge Beitong Escort Bureau step by step with his true skills. He was different from those profiteers and dog officials.
He had a kind heart, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he mobilized branches of the bodyguard agencies from all over the country. They would rather lose money than buy grain and grass from all over the place and transport them to the north to sell them at a low price, including Qiyuan City. Guess what happened? "
Li Qingxian shook his head slightly, he really didn't know this matter.
Liu Yitian continued: "The first batch of escorts from the Beitong Escort Bureau entered the city with food, and were immediately controlled by the Yamen. They said that the demon clan had recently robbed them. In order to prevent the human race from having an affair with the demon clan, they first detained the escorts and interrogated them.
Then make a decision. There is no problem in resisting demons, but except for the people from the Beitong Escort Bureau, the Yamen does not care about anyone else. It is obvious that the Beitong Escort Bureau has robbed some beasts of their jobs with human blood. Niu Bei is full of passion.
Unconvinced, in order to sell grain at a fair price, he sent escort teams into Qiyuan City again, but one batch was deducted. Not only in Qiyuan City, but also in many places. In the end, there was no one available in the Beitong Escort Bureau, so Niu Beitong had to give up. But
If you ask the people all over the world who know this, who wouldn't give Niu Beitong a thumbs up?"
"Don't the six ministries and nine ministers know?" Li Qingxian pointed to the sky.
Liu Yitian said helplessly: "Do you think there is anything in this world that the superiors don't know about? Who would dare to do anything in this world without the consent or acquiescence of the superiors?"
Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment, nodded, and remained silent.
Liu Yitian continued: "Of course the higher-ups knew about this matter, and it is said that they got into trouble because of it. So, some people kept doing nothing and set up a trap to ruin Niu Beitong's reputation and take over the Beitong Escort Bureau."
"It does seem like a trap for a top-level master to bully an ordinary singer while drunk," Li Qingxian said.
Liu Yitian said: "Yes, even northern tycoons like Niu Beitong can't fight those people. Why is he, a small businessman in the south? I guess he just came to have a look, and he is not stupid enough to think that he can make money on the blade.
This money."
"I don't think he's stupid, he seems a bit instigated." Li Qingxian said.
"I can't say, I think that man is a real person and his wife looks very smart." Liu Yitian said.
"People, regardless of gender, some are smart and some are stupid." After Li Qingxian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Fang who was recording the registration.
Liu Yitian followed Li Qingxian's gaze, sighed, and whispered: "Nie Yuan. Xu Fang is usually a very smart kid, how could she be tricked into being like this by a scholar? Look at the broken jade brave she brought.
, that thing was originally meant for men to wear to make money, and it looked like a random street stall product, but she always said that the man had him in his heart, so he bought it from the capital as a gift to her, and she has worn it for so many years."
"That person wants to see Xu Fang, has she seen him?"
Liu Yitian continued in a low voice: "Xu Fang is a good woman! After the other party got married, she never saw her again. I guess that person had some ideas that made the poisonous woman have murderous intentions, which led to this situation. I heard
, this poisonous woman is also from a wealthy family in Lizhou, and Wen Siyan was able to serve as county magistrate here with the help of his wife's family."
Li Qingxian said: "How do you solve this matter?"
"I can't explain it. In front of such a big family, even the ten Shen Gong sects have no power to fight back." Liu Yitian shook his head.
Li Qingxian thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Have someone keep an eye on the Cai family. If nothing else, accidents will happen to their family recently. Also, have someone keep an eye on the situation in Qiyuan County."
