Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 159 Guest

   Dock.

  There is a lot of traffic, and the boats are staggered and orderly.

   More than a dozen long decks extend from the pier to the river for ships to load and unload cargo.

  The bare-elbowed and short-shouldered workers, some with shoulder resistance, and some with the help of carts, unloaded boxes of goods from the ship and carried them alive.

  Under the scorching sun.

   Their skin was tanned, and they shouted cheers from time to time. Their seemingly robust muscles were actually distorted and deformed by day-to-day movements.

  On the river with a width of 40 to 50 feet, there are many boats moored, and under the arrangement of the Yamen staff, they dock and stay in order.

  In the meantime.

  There are some simple flower boats wandering.

  The women on the board are either ostentatious or naked, waving to the strong man on board and greeting the guests.

  Most of the flower boats that haunt this place are remodeled fishing boats. There are only three or two cabins on them, so simple that they can't even block the sound.

  In some cases, the husband invites the first wife as a guest, and the door is opened to earn money.

   Nobody thinks this kind of thing is cheap.

  East side of the pier.

   Compared with other places, there are relatively few ships staying here, but they are completely different from other ships in terms of maintenance and size.

   Visible to the eye, most of them belong to big companies.

  Zhou Jia was dressed in strong attire, covered with a black cloak, put his ax and shield behind his back, and stood on a high place looking into the distance with his hands behind his back.

   not long.

  His eyes moved slightly, and he walked down.

  A cargo ship was docked on the shore, and several figures walked down the gangplank, all of them in vigorous postures, showing not weak martial arts background.

   "Brother Zhou!"

   "Miss Qian!"

   After the two greeted each other, Qian Xiaoyun looked at Zhou Jia up and down, and said with a smile:

   "It can be seen that Brother Zhou has a good life here, full of energy and spirit, which is really enviable."

   "You are not bad." Zhou Jia looked behind her:

   "Huo Zhen didn't come?"

   "No." Qian Xiaoyun shook his head:

   "Although this road is official, it may not be safe. My son is too young. With Aunt Yan watching over me, I can do business with peace of mind."

"Too."

  Zhou Jia nodded and stretched out his hand to signal:

   "Let's talk in the city."

  Looking at the few people behind Qian Xiaoyun:

   "These few..."

   "They are the caravan guards I hired." Qian Xiaoyun smiled and pulled a woman over:

   "This is my friend, Xu Xiuzhi."

"Show wisdom."

   Another female quote:

   "This is the friend I mentioned to you, Zhou Jia, who has reached the tenth rank at a young age, and his future achievements are limitless."

   "Xiaoyun chanted Brother Zhou's name so hard that my ears became cocooned. I finally saw a real person today."

  Xu Xiuzhi is petite. Although she has no ups and downs, she is fair and beautiful. Especially when she smiles with dimples, she looks more innocent and childlike.

  She looked at Zhou Jia with curiosity in her eyes:

   "See you today, as expected..."

   "Large!"

  Maybe she couldn't think of any words, she grinned, scratched her head, and looked kind.

   "Miss Xu."

   Zhou Jia nodded:

"Please!"

  Before Qian Xiaoyun came, he said in the letter that a friend would come, and specifically asked Zhou Jia if he had met the woman he admired in the past year or so.

  If not, you might as well know a thing or two.

   Said that this friend of hers has a very unusual background, and if she can get to know her, it will be of great benefit to her in the future.

   It seems that it should be this person.

  The Xu family?

  I don't know if it has any relationship with the Xu family, one of the eight surnames in the Xuantian Union.

   Zhou Jia was thoughtful and led the crowd into the city.

  The restaurant is upstairs.

  Both women were born in wealthy families. They were used to delicacies from mountains and seas. After taking a few bites of food, they looked towards the long street outside.

  Xu Xiuzhi obviously didn't come out very often, and asked curiously:

   "Thirty-six branches of the Outer Gate, and the Jinhuang branch of Xiaolang Island have never been very famous. I didn't expect this stone city to be so prosperous?"

   "That's because there is only one big city near Xiaolang Island, Shicheng, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in that city alone, so it is naturally prosperous." Qian Xiaoyun smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes flickering:

   "Is there something going on in the city recently? It seems that the atmosphere is a bit wrong."

   "Yes." Zhou Jia nodded:

   "Some time ago, there was a dispute between the Qian family and the Tianhu Gang. Afterwards, the matter was settled, but the ancestor of the Qian family was killed again."

   "In short, the matter has been in trouble until now, and it has not subsided."

  He had a casual expression, as if he was talking about something outside his body, unaware that the treasure of the Qian family was in his Qiankun space.

   "The Qian family..." Qian Xiaoyun was stunned.

  Her last name is also Qian.

"never mind."

  Shaking her head, she swept away her distracting thoughts and looked at Zhou Jia:

   "I have inquired about what you said in your heart."

   "Oh!" Zhou Jia straightened his back with a serious face:

"How to say?"

   "The number of super-quality sources released every year is limited. It can be said that there are too many monks and too few porridges. Even the top ten inner sects must be ranked in order." Qian Xiaoyun said:

"If you want to get it, you need to verify your cultivation base, age, background, skills, and even character one by one. Every super-quality source quality is watched by many people, which is not as easy to operate as outer disciples. "

"certainly…"

   Speaking of this, she smiled faintly:

   "There are always exceptions!"

   Zhou Jia was shocked.

  Different from the inner sect, the outer sect has thirty-six meridians, each of which has a fixed share of super-quality sources, and his name has been reported early.

   But according to past experience, it will take at least five or six years to get it to hand, and it is normal to wait for ten or eight years if it is slow.

   This is nothing to other people. After all, it takes several years of hard work to lay a solid foundation from the beginning of the tenth rank to the completion of the tenth rank.

   Zhou Jia is different.

   He only needs to use it for more than a year, and he can cultivate the tenth rank to the peak and perfect state.

  The remaining years are a waste!

   For this reason, he had to think of ways to see if he could obtain super-grade source quality from other places. Apart from the Tianhu Gang, Qian Xiaoyun was also a way.

   Now it seems that the other party does have connections.

   "Sister Xiaoyun is right." Xu Xiuzhi on the side said:

   "As far as I know, some people obviously don't have the potential to break through, but they still rely on their own status to obtain a super-quality source quality. After all, they can leave it to future generations if they don't use it."

   "No matter how bad it is..."

   "Selling money, you can earn a lot. The quota of inner disciples is far less valuable than a super-quality one."

   "It's fine if someone comes out." Zhou Jia didn't care about the others, nodded and said:

   "Price is not an issue!"

   "It's not a small price." Xu Xiuzhi stared at Zhou Jia with piercing eyes:

   "At least thirty or forty source crystals are needed. This is still priceless. After all, super-quality source crystals are rare. Can Big Brother Zhou really get them?"

   "Don't worry about this." Qian Xiaoyun said with a smile:

   "Brother Zhou still has some family background."

  The two of them were in Star City, but they gained a lot of benefits. Although most of them were lost, the rest was more than enough to buy a super-quality source.

   "Not bad." Zhou Jia nodded:

   "If Ms. Xu can help me get a copy of the super quality source, Zhou will be very grateful, and I can add 20 to 30% to the original price."

  He now understands that it is not Qian Xiaoyun who can really help him get the super quality source, but Xu Xiuzhi who is walking with her this time.

   Sure enough.

  Xu Xiuzhi's eyes lit up.

  Twenty to thirty percent is seven or eight source crystals.

  Even though she is from a big family, there are many sisters and brothers in the family, and no matter how much the family property is, it is not much to distribute to everyone.

   She doesn't mind being busy for a while if she can have seven or eight thousand origin stones in extra money.

   "It's done!"

   Rubbing her fingers, Xu Xiuzhi said:

   "Thirty percent, I will help you get a super quality source within two years!"

   "Thirty percent is no problem." Zhou Jia squinted and said:

   "But the time must be within one year."

   "One year?" Xu Xiuzhi frowned and said displeasedly:

   "It depends on luck. Sometimes a few people make a move in a year, and sometimes no one makes a move in two years."

   "Thirty percent, one year." Zhou Jia shook his head, his attitude was unquestionable:

   "Or 20%, two years."

   "You..." Xu Xiuzhi panicked, rolled his eyes, and said:

   "One year is one year, but how can I believe that you can spend so much money, as far as I know, you have only been in Xuantian Union for two years?"

   "I believe in Miss Xiaoyun, but she may also be deceived by you!"

"so."

  She stretched out her hand and said:

   "Pay a 30% deposit first, to convince me that you have so much money, and secondly, with the deposit, I can help you plan over there."

   "Hmm..." Zhou Jia was thoughtful:

   "How can I trust you?"

   "Don't be like this." Qian Xiaoyun smiled wryly and rubbed his eyebrows:

   "In this way, how about I pay the deposit, one and a half years, 30%."

  She discounted the time directly,

   "..."

"make a deal!"

  Zhou Jia and Xu Xiuzhi thought about it for a while, then nodded one after another.

   "Come." Qian Xiaoyun shook his head, raised his glass with a smile:

   "To celebrate your agreement, let's drink this first."

"director!"

   Zhou Jia had just raised his glass when he was interrupted by Wen Zhong who hurried upstairs.

  Wen Zhong was sweating on his forehead, and his whole body was fat and trembling. He didn't care to greet the two women present, and spoke anxiously to Zhou Jia:

   "Hero Yang from the island is here and wants us to meet him."

   "Yang Jinzhou?" Zhou Jia frowned, as if he knew something about it, but he didn't intend to go over, and immediately waved his hand towards Wen Zhong:

   "Tell him that I have trouble."

   "This..." Wen Zhong was taken aback for a moment, looked at the two women, and then whispered:

   "Director, I'm afraid this is not good?"

   "What's wrong?" Zhou Jia's expression sank:

   "Didn't see I was entertaining guests!"

"Yes!"

  Wen Zhong's fat body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed his head:

   "Then... that villain will leave."

   As he spoke, he hesitated for a while, and finally went downstairs cautiously.

   "I can't see it." Xu Xiuzhi's beautiful eyes flickered:

   "Brother Zhou's status here is not low!"

   "Small place, different inner sect." Zhou Jia smiled lightly:

   "Here, the tenth rank is already considered a master, and Zhou is a member of the Xuantian Union, so naturally he has a little advantage over others."

   "Yes." Xu Xiuzhi thought for a while, then nodded.

   Inner door.

  Although the tenth rank can be considered a master, it is definitely not uncommon, especially for some older people who can achieve the tenth rank through hard work, and it is everywhere.

   Only the tenth rank of those who are favored by heaven can be considered outstanding.

   Zhou Jia...

  In her eyes, she was too far away from those heaven's favored ones.

   Casino.

  Second floor.

  Yang Jinzhou, dressed in brocade clothes, sat in the middle, holding an account book in his hand, and slowly flipped through it under the horrified eyes of others.

   Two young men, a man and a woman, stood behind him.

  The man’s name is Yang Ziyu, from the same family of the Yang family. He has reached the ninth rank at a young age, and he is an existence with outstanding talents in the Tianhu Gang.

  The woman is Xue Caiyi.

  The two came with Yang Jinzhou and were invited by Lei Batian to handle this matter.

  Tiger Gang,

  It was originally a subsidiary of the Jinhuang lineage of Xiaolang Island in the Xuantian League, and a large part of the benefits obtained every year had to be transported to the island.

   This point, even Lei Batian, has to obey.

   "Is everyone here?"

  The records in the account book made Yang Jinzhou dizzy. He threw it aside casually and examined everyone in the field:

   "Once everything is done, let's get down to business."

   "Yang...Senior Yang." A person below said tremblingly:

   "Director Zhou of the West City Casino, he didn't come."

   There was silence in the field.

  Yang Jinzhou also froze in place.

  The corners of his eyes twitched, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his expression seemed to be a half-smile:

   "Zhou Jia?"

"Yes!"

   "Did no one tell him I was coming?"

   "Plop!"

  Wen Zhong's knees softened, and he fell to his knees suddenly, trembling:

   "Returning to the senior, Director Zhou is... entertaining distinguished guests. He can't make it for a while... He will definitely come when he is done."

   "Distinguished guest?" Yang Jinzhou laughed:

   "Where is this distinguished guest?"

   "What honorable guest is more important than me and today's affairs?"

  Wen Zhong was trembling with fat all over his body, not daring to speak.

   "Brother." Xue Caiyi said coldly:

   "The one surnamed Zhou didn't treat us very well when he was on the island. When you asked him to apologize, he left the island directly and didn't give him any face. It's normal if he doesn't come this time."

"Humph!"

  Yang Ziyu snorted coldly.

  The starting point of the Qian Family Gambling House is the Xicheng Gambling House.

  Guardian Miao, who was in charge of the Dongcheng gambling house, is dead, and Zhou Jia, the supervisor of the West city gambling house, is the nominally highest person in charge of this matter.

  He won't come...

   Today's welcome seems to have become a joke.

   "Zhou Jia."

  Yang Jinzhou narrowed his eyes, glanced at everyone, and then snorted coldly:

"forget it!"

"that…"

  He pointed at Wen Zhong:

   "What's your name and where are you in charge?"

   "The villain, Wen Zhong, is in charge of the financial accounts of the western city." Wen Zhong spoke hastily.

   "Responsible for financial accounts?" Yang Jinzhou's face darkened:

   "No wonder the account books are in a mess. Come on, take him down and beat him for a hundred boards first, and beat out all the food in his stomach first!"

"Yes!"

   Behind them, the two should be, striding towards Wen Zhongxing.

   "Senior, spare your life!"

   "Senior, please spare me!"

  Wen Zhong's face was pale, his crotch was wet, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only be dragged downstairs, desperately begging for mercy along the way.

   "Let's go!"

  Yang Jinzhou took a deep breath, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and stood up:

   "Don't waste Lao Qin's time."

"Yes!"

  Xue Caiyi and Yang Ziyu should be.

  ...

  On the wine table, the two exchanged glasses, talking and laughing happily.

  If there were others here, they would never have guessed that the two people who looked kindly this time actually came from two forces that were hostile to each other.

   "It seems that Leader Lei doesn't want to make things big."

  Qin Wuying put down the wine cup and said with a smile:

   "Let brother Yang come to talk, Qin must give this face no matter what."

  He and Yang Jinzhou have known each other for more than 20 years, and they have a very good friendship. Even though they belong to different forces, they can be regarded as close friends.

  Qin Wuying took over the Qian family and wanted to seek justice for the Qian family.

  And Lei Batian asked someone to invite Yang Jinzhou to come over and talk to him.

   "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Yang Jinzhou shook his head:

   "Speaking of which, the death of Protector Miao is also quite strange. Up to now, it is still unknown who the murderer is. The person who killed Mr. Qian may not be a member of the Tianhu Gang, and it may not be certain that someone was behind it."

   "Yes." Qin Wuying revealed a thoughtful face, and nodded slowly:

   "Brother Yang said that this matter is full of weirdness."

"but…"

  He paused and said:

   "The old lady of the Qian family is dead. He cries and yells in front of me all day long. I have to give them an explanation. Brother Yang, don't you think so?"

   "It's simple." Yang Jinzhou smiled lightly:

   "Didn't the Qian family want to open a gambling house? Just continue to open the gambling house. The Black Tiger Gang will not cause trouble after the gambling house, so the Qian family has a foundation."

   "To be honest, Mr. Qian has not had a good life for a few years, and his early death and late death will not have much impact on the Qian family."

   "Haha..." Qin Wuying laughed loudly:

   "I knew Brother Yang wouldn't mind."

   As he spoke, he lifted a wooden box from under the table and pushed it over:

   "This is a wish from the Qian family, and I hope Brother Yang will accept it."

"Oh!"

  Yang Jinzhou raised his eyes and opened the wooden box casually. The contents inside made his expression change, showing a rare look of surprise.

   "The Qian family, what a big deal, what else do they want?"

   "Speaking of it." Qin Wuying waved his hand with a smile, and changed the subject:

   "Before I came, I just heard a piece of news, so I didn't know if it was true or not."

"Oh?"

   "According to the Qian family, their family has a Xuanbing battle armor, which is an ancestral treasure. This time, the disappearance of the treasure caused the old man to be furious and then killed."

  Qin Wuying picked up the wine cup:

   "Of course, whether this matter is true or false, or both."

   "Let's drink, drink!"
