Tu Boshu wanted to sit up, but he had no strength at all.
When Li Qi saw this, he quickly supported her and leaned against the bed.
After a moment of pause, Tu Boshu said: "Although my father is the chief escort of Fuyun Escort Agency, there are also deputy chief escorts and some veteran escorts. They are the core of Fuyun Escort Agency. If I were a man,
Maybe I don’t have to worry…”
"But I am a daughter. If I want to inherit my father's position, I must make some contributions to make them convinced of me..."
Li Qidao: "You really want to be the head escort?"
Tu Boshu smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a question of whether I want to or not, but that I must become the chief escort of Fuyun Escort Bureau."
Li Qi didn't understand. Is a chief bodyguard really that rare?
"My father founded the Fortune Escort Bureau, which has offended many people over the years. The reason why they dare not attack my father is because they are afraid of the Fortune Escort Bureau... But if the Fortune Escort Bureau changes owners, can you imagine the consequences?"
Tu Boshu looked at Li Qidao.
After hearing this, Li Qi finally understood, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind: People can't help themselves in the world.
This sentence couldn't be more appropriate to apply to Tu Boshu at this time. She is right. Sitting as the head escort is not a matter of whether you want to or not, but if you can't sit in that position, your wealth and life will not be guaranteed.
Although Li Qi had no sense of belonging to Daxia, he would run away when he thought it was a big deal, and if he couldn't, he would find a place to hide.
But he could also understand Tu Boshu's difficulties, as if he had gone from a small town to a big city before traveling through time, but he still missed his hometown no matter what.
Some things cannot be thought about rationally, and no one can be absolutely rational.
Looking at ancient and modern times, how many people can do this without being happy with things or sad with others?
Li Qi sighed and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"
"Find out the truth behind the Nanjing semicolon..."
"What happens after you find out?"
"Report it."
"Then what?"
Tu Boshu frowned slightly: "Then?"
"Will you be able to return to Kyoto by then?" Li Qi asked.
After Tu Boshu thought for a moment, he nodded: "Yes."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth now." Li Qi said.
Tu Boshu was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Li Qi took the box containing the letter from the cabinet on the side. After handing the letter inside to Tu Boshu, he didn't hide anything.
Listening to Li Qi's narration, Tu Boshu was shocked: "The Bai family..."
"What do you know?" Li Qi asked.
Tu Bo wrote: "I heard my father talk about the Bai family before... The Bai family was a famous family of craftsmen in the previous dynasty, and the imperial tombs in the previous dynasty were built by the Bai family."
Imperial mausoleum?
Bai Mengxuan's family builds tombs?
Tu Boshu continued: "Later on, the Bai family disappeared. Some said that the Bai family lived in seclusion, while others said that the Bai family fled outside the country. Anyway, there are different opinions... However, judging from the letters you gave me, nine out of ten of the Bai family were
In distress..."
Why did a family of craftsmen suffer such brutal attacks?
This was something Li Qi couldn't figure out, and it also involved so many people in the twists and turns.
And they are all high-ranking people, such as Shi Lezhan from Baitong Cabinet Shop, Nian Yuanxiu, the top ten swordsman, and Xiao Jijia's father.
These people either have extremely high status in the world, or they hold important positions in the government.
But now they gathered together to attack a family of craftsmen. If there was nothing fishy involved, Li Qi would not believe it even if they beat him to death.
I think my future wife's life is really miserable. Not only her family is broken up, but she also has a blood feud. I don't know how she got here all these years.
It’s heartbreaking to think about it…
When Li Qi shamelessly thought about Bai Mengxuan, Tu Boshu suddenly said: "I will report this matter quickly and let my father make a decision..."
As she was about to get off the bed, Li Qi quickly stopped her: "There's no rush, just take a good rest first. After you recover, you can write and report."
"But……"
"It's nothing, don't go back to the inn, just stay here first."
Tu Boshu thought for a while and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Brother Li."
"We are friends, so don't be so polite." Li Qi said, "Okay, you have a good rest. If you need anything, just call me. I have to go to bed. I have been watching you all night, and now I am very sleepy."
Tu Boshu watched Li Qi stretch and leave the room, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled knowingly.
…
Two days later, Li Qi found Huang Jin with a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
As soon as they met, he made a grimace: "Brother Huang, you really gutted me this time..."
Huang Jin smiled sheepishly.
Li Qi continued: "You don't know, in order to get these one hundred thousand taels, I pawned all the valuables I had on me, and also transferred a lot of money from Kyoto..."
He said it would be as miserable as it was, and made it look like it was true.
In fact, this was just a trick by Li Qi. The reason why he told Huang Jin that it would take three days was mainly to let Huang Jin know that the one hundred thousand taels of silver was hard-earned.
If Li Qi generously took it out directly, who can guarantee whether this guy would borrow money from him again in the future?
This is what Li Qi learned from his mother before he traveled through time. In Li Qi's fucking words: "If someone wants to borrow money from you, even if it's just one or two hundred, you can't lend it to them easily. You have to pretend to be very cool."
This way you can ensure that he will not come to you to borrow money next time, and he will have an excuse when he asks for money."
Li Qi didn't learn anything else, but he was very good at using this skill.
When he was in college, his roommate borrowed five hundred yuan from him and never paid it back.
Li Qi ate stinky tofu in the dormitory every day. One day, his roommate couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked him if he could stop eating stinky tofu in the dormitory.
At that time, Li Qi pretended to be miserable. He sighed and said: "I don't want to eat stinky tofu, but I have no money now. Stinky tofu is cheap, five yuan for two portions, and I can't afford anything else...
…”
In the end, the roommate scraped together a few things and finally paid Li Qi the 500 yuan he owed him.
From that day on, Li Qi never ate stinky tofu in the dormitory again, and of course no one asked him to borrow money again.
I just didn't expect that this trick would be used on Huang Jin.
"Brother Huang, this is all my property... If it weren't for our relationship, I would definitely not have given it to anyone else," Li Qi said with a sincere face.
Huang Jin was so fooled by him that he really believed it. He held Li Qi's hand and said, "Brother, don't worry. Once the Tianji Society is wiped out, I will definitely repay you twice as much!"
