The door opened, and the curtain walked in quietly with a cup of hot tea. The warm atmosphere outside seemed to have not melted her. There was a trace of unconcealed worry under her shallow smile. Although she was less than fifteen years old, she had been rushing around the bottom of society since she was a child and had experienced countless sinister worlds. She knew that now was not the time to laugh. The Hai family was a man-eating tiger, so how could she let them go easily?

Jian'er gently sat on the handrail and handed the hot tea to Li Qing. Seeing that he was drinking sweetly, a gentle feeling appeared in Jian'er's heart and reached out to stroke his hair.

"Young Master, what are you thinking?"

Li Qing reached out to grab her hand and put it on her face to rub it. Her hands were slender and warm, and she felt a burst of warmth on her cold face.

"I'm thinking about the fact that we set up stalls in Yilong. In fact, it's only three months later, but it feels like a long time has passed."

"Yes! I also feel this way. I thought I would have to do business in Langzhou for a long time, but I didn't expect to come to Chengdu in three months, and I didn't expect to offend the underworld on the first day."

Lian'er suddenly fell silent. Her ideal was to buy 100 acres of good land and live quietly with Li Qing. Although it was a little more ordinary, wasn't life like this?

"sorry!"

Li Qing felt the sadness in Lian'er's heart and felt a little apology. His original intention was not like that. He just wanted to use some of the knowledge in later generations to make more money and become a big businessman who was rich enough to rival a country. But in fact, the Tang Dynasty did not, as he thought, could come with money with his eyes closed. It had to go through hardships and struggle.

But the curtain smiled.

"There is no regret between us. I am only worried that Young Master Xiaosheng will be at peace and forget the danger ahead. The Hai family is powerful and has a connection with the underworld. How can you give up easily? Have you forgotten what the tea shopkeeper said?"

"I know, so I think the most important thing now is to find a very hard backstage. In fact, I have found it, it depends on whether I can seize the opportunity on August 15th."

"There are still things to come!" Li Qing got up and walked a few steps in the room, frowned and said, "I'm still thinking about what else can we do after the birthday banquet? I always feel that it's too slow to make a profit by just building a restaurant."

"Of course it's made of snow mud!" Lian'er suddenly smiled and said, "Hasn't the young master ever thought about using this birthday party to drive out the reputation of snow mud?"

Li Qing suddenly stopped, "Snow Mud, Birthday Banquet!" His eyes gradually shone, and the words of Yan'er reminded him that the day of the birthday party would definitely be Jia Yun gathered. Then let the snow Mud become a dessert after drinking, and create some gimmicks, the snow Mud will definitely start in one shot. A brilliant plan suddenly popped up in Li Qing's mind. He wanted to plan an unprecedented publicity and win with novelty, so that his snow Mud would bring him the capital to do a big business. Although he had to take some risks, this risk was worth taking.

The noise outside suddenly became louder, the door opened, Xiaoyu, who was blushing, popped in and looked at them and smiled: "I knew you two were hiding here to drink your own wine. Everyone outside was laughing at you! Come out quickly!"

She suddenly remembered something again and said anxiously: "Young Master, just now, the waiter ran away and said, it seems that someone is looking for you outside the gate."

The yard was very dark and quiet. From time to time, you could hear laughter from the house. The dark trees were slanted by the slanted branches, which looked particularly dark and gloomy against the dusk. At the gate was standing, wearing black clothes and masked, with both eyes flashing with their worries, looking very much like an assassin in a costume drama. Li Qing shuddered and went all out of his drunkenness.

"Who are you? What's the matter with me?" Li Qing was a little nervous and stared at his hand, fearing that he would suddenly pull out the knife and stab himself.

The man in black seemed to see through Li Qing's thoughts and bowed to him, "Don't worry, young master, I have no ill intentions, but it's inconvenient to speak here, please believe me."

Li Qing suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Please come with me!" If you really want to kill yourself, you can just touch the house and get a knife to do it at night. Why do you have to be so troublesome?

Li Qing closed the door, lit the light, and pulled him a chair, "Sit down!"

The man seemed a little cramped and reached out to take off his face, revealing a mummy-like face. "My name is Skeleton, the boss of Daorentang. I also got a chance to fight this morning. Later, I jumped into the river and escaped my life."

Li Qing suddenly found it interesting.

"Then why did you come to me if you don't run away but you're here to do something? Didn't you kill me this morning? Are you still unwilling to accept it?"

The skeleton smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tease me, I'm wanted by the government now and have no way out, so I came to Master Li to see if I can give me fifty taels of silver as a means of money. I will exchange it for information you are interested in."

During the battle this morning, most of the dead men in the underworld were brothers of Daorentang. Daorentang was almost completely lost, but the Hai family crossed the river and destroyed the bridge and fell all the charges on him. Now Chengdu city is full of notices that want him. The Skeleton hated the Hai family to the core, so he came to find Li Qing overnight, hoping to exchange information for some travel expenses.

Seeing Li Qing smiled and said dryly, he laughed and said, "You just came from outside and don't know the Hai family. If you think the Hai family will stop there, then you are very wrong."

"How can I see it?"

The skeleton sighed and said, "At the beginning of this year, there was a big businessman named Yang in Bozhou who was engaged in grain business. When he first arrived in Chengdu, he didn't understand the situation and stole the Hai family's 8,000 yuan business. As a result, the Hai family sent gangsters to threaten him every day. He beat him up once when he saw him. It was not until the other two big merchants in Chengdu, the Shi family and the Tang family came forward to mediate. The merchant surnamed Yang paid 5,000 yuan money. The Hai family agreed to give the Shi family and the Tang family a face. Everyone thought the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, someone found his body in the Minjiang River, but his head was gone. A few days later, the Hai family released the wind and said that it was not what they did, and everyone suddenly realized it."

"What do you mean is that the Hai family will deal with me again?"

"Yes! Maybe it won't be there in the recent period. The government is tight, but the Hai family will never let you go. This is his family's tradition. You have to kill the enemy and leave no future troubles. If you want to live the second half of your life safely, there are only two ways."

"What do you think?"

"Either you leave Jiannan Road and live somewhere else with anonymity; or—" At this point, he showed fierce eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Or you will kill all the Hai family, leaving no chickens and dogs!"

Li Qing didn't seem to take his words in his heart, and just smiled faintly: "You are talking too seriously. What are you killing and killing? Don't you keep the chickens and dogs? I don't have a royal law in the Tang Dynasty? I am a law-abiding businessman. I don't want to cut and kill all day long. I just want to make some money safely. When things come, I will just look for the government government. I will have the government to deal with the Hai family. What's the use of thinking more?"

After saying that, he looked at the skeleton with a smile, waiting for his next reaction.

Seeing that he seemed to be indifferent, the Skeleton couldn't help but feel anxious: "How could he be willing to pay if he didn't mention his interest?"

After thinking about it, he said, "The Hai family has never encountered trouble in the government. In addition to being a tough backstage, there is also a principle that his family adheres to. He will never use his own power unless he has to. He usually uses the underworld. In this way, everything happens is a problem in the underworld and has nothing to do with his family. So I infer that if the Hai family makes trouble for you again, he still needs to use the underworld."

Li Qing's interest seemed to be slowly raised, and he smiled and said, "Then tell me about the situation of the underworld in Chengdu!"

The skeleton was greatly energetic. This was the first time he took the initiative to ask, there was a chance.

"In the past, there were not so many underworlds in Chengdu. Since the change of the governor, the new governor ignored the matter at all. In addition, Chengdu's business is booming, the number of underworld people has increased year by year. Now there are at least tens of thousands of people. The largest of them are the two factions, Emeitang and Min Gang. Emeitang controls merchants in the city, and Min Gang controls the shipping of the Min River. The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the Min Gang actually split from the Emeitang thirty years ago. The two families have deep grudges and I don't know how many times they have fought. I have participated three times. The most recent time was three years ago, with more than fifty people killed. I was also stabbed on the back and almost died."

"What's the relationship between the Hai family and the underworld?"

"The Hai family and Emei Hall have a deep relationship. It is said that Emei Hall was founded by Hailan's grandfather. However, since the Hai family has done a serious business, it has broken up with the underworld. But on the surface, there is a rumor inside us that the owner of Emei Hall, Boss Tang, is actually just a puppet. The person who is really under the control of the behind-the-scenes is the Hai family, that is, the third master of the Hai family, Haiba."

Li Qing's eyes were narrowed into a slit. He now finally knew some of the details of the Hai family. His foundation for nearly a hundred years and his various relationships were mixed. Since he could not fall for a hundred years, the Hai family must have its unusual features. At least he would not chop and kill randomly like a rash man. If he could take the line from Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, he would not dare to deal with him publicly like today. He would inevitably use dark means or use competition methods in the market to squeeze him out. This was interesting. Thinking of this, he glanced at the skeleton, and saw that his waist was straight and the tension in his eyes was revealed. Li Qing smiled in his heart. This little information was not worth fifty taels of silver.

"You just said that the third brother of the Hai family is in charge of Emei Hall. How many brothers do the Hai family have? How do they divide the labor?"

The skeleton is now like a cat tempted by a fish, swallowing its spit and having to follow Li Qing's thoughts.

"The Hai family has only three brothers, Hailan, Haiming, and Haiba. Among them, Hailan and Haiba are brothers, all of whom are cunning and fierce. The second brother Haiming is a concubine. Because his mother was born with a humble mother, he has no status at home. He is usually honest and kind, and is often bullied. This person loves cockfighting and is a famous cockfighting master in Chengdu. Every time he fights cock, he will kill the other party's chicken, so everyone calls him "Killing Chicken Han Ge."

"This is interesting. He is honest and kind, but when fighting cocks, he wants to kill the other party's chicken, which seems a bit unreasonable!"

Li Qing suddenly caught a trace of enlightenment, which was still far away and not clear, but he seemed to have seen a crack in the Hai family wall.

"You have to find a way to pave a way first!"

Xiaoxiao asked again: "Do you know if there are any playboys in the Hai family who are not doing their jobs all day long, are gambled and lustful."

This is an old-fashioned technique, but although it is old-fashioned, it is very effective. The skeleton sneered and said, "The forest is big, and there is no bird. The Hai family is no exception. There is indeed such a person who has read a few books and calls himself a self-righteous person. He searches for his confidant in the pile of bitches all day long. But he treats the bad woman as a treasure. He doesn't know how much money he is cheated of by those bitches, but he doesn't repent."

This was definitely the most useful information tonight. Li Qing became more interested and leaned forward slightly and asked, "Who is he? What's his name?"

But the skeleton smiled awkwardly and said, "Will Master Li be willing to give me money?"

Li Qing was furious and took out fifty taels of silver from the cabinet and threw it to him, "This is because you said something useful. Do you think I wouldn't ask anyone else if I didn't tell me? I can't ask any brothel?"

The skeleton hurriedly took the silver with gratitude in his eyes. With these fifty taels of silver, you can start over if you escape there.

"I will repay the kindness of Lord Li in the future!"

"Stop talking! Tell me who that person is?"
