Chapter 575 Skyrocketing to 9 Miles

Chapter 575: Soaring to Miles

The day passed quickly.

The sun rose as usual, and after a night of silence, Yingtian City regained its former prosperity.

Day after day, it seems like nothing will ever change.

Shi Yashan's disappearance did not cause much commotion.

The death of the three people is also under investigation in the capital.

As to whether the result can be found in the end, it is unknown.

Huowa Lane, where Shen Zhengxin lives is in an alley in Huowa Lane.

That's not the whole house.
It is a small house separated from the backyard of the tea garden.

The owner of the tea garden took him in and settled his family here.

Although he was just a night watchman, Shen Zhengxin was still very grateful.

In the hut, Shen Zhengxin woke up from his bed and suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw the slightly shabby roof and the bits of thatch hanging down from it.
A feeling of heat began to spread in my heart.

He sat up suddenly.

The cabin is not big, and after putting the bed, table and cabinet in it, it already looks very cramped.

And this small space is where he has rested for the past year.

Seeing all this, a hint of gloom flashed across Shen Zhengxin's eyes.

The young man was right.
Given his current conditions, he simply couldn't stay in Yingtian for long.

especially.
Shen Zhengxin supported his body with his hands and raised his head slightly.

On the small bed were his two children and his wife.
The three of them were huddled together, the air was hot and dry, their foreheads were slightly soaked with sweat,

The worn quilt also had a damp and sour smell from sweat.

"This can't go on like this."

Shen Zhengxin took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

Although he tried to move as lightly as possible,

But the woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

Confusion flashed across my mind.

She looked at Shen Zhengxin, complex expressions emerged in her eyes, followed by deep worry.

She also propped herself up and sat up.

"Why are you getting up? It was hot last night and it will be cooler this morning. You should get some more sleep."

Shen Zhengxin wiped his body with a towel and spoke softly.

"Boss, where are you going?"

Shen Zhengxin was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"I'm going to work..There's some food on the table.
You can eat with the children later, and you don’t have to wait for me to come back at noon.”

Seeing that she was still looking at him, Shen Zhengxin sighed.

Slowly walked to the bed and took her into his arms:
"Xiaorou, don't worry.

Your husband will make sure you and the children live a good life, so don't worry about me."

Qu Xiaorou shook her head and reached out to grab Shen Zhengxin's hand.
One person's hands were covered with fine needle wounds, while the other's hands were covered with calluses.

"Master, you have been staying at home for the past three days. Did something happen to you?"

"hehe.."

Shen Zhengxin smiled with emotion and touched her head:
"I'm just tired lately, so I'm taking a break at home."

Qu Xiaorou shook her head slowly:
"Master, I can see that you have been absent-minded these days.
If you have any trouble, please tell me.
We are a family and we have to face it together.

This Yingtian is good, but it is not a place where people like you and me can gain a foothold.

Why don't we take this opportunity to leave Yingtian?

How about going to a small place where I can at least feed my children? "

"Don't think too much, it's nothing."

A trace of gloom and helplessness flashed across Qu Xiaorou's eyes. She pursed her lips and hugged Shen Zhengxin's waist tightly:

"Boss, then you should go early and come back early, and avoid fighting with others."

Shen Zhengxin nodded:
"Do not worry."

As he spoke, Shen Zhengxin bent down.

He took out a small cloth bag from under the pillow and stuffed it into Qu Xiaorou's hand:
"Here is five silver coins. Take them.

The two children wanted to eat candied haws, so I took them to eat at noon.

You still want to eat that pie? Go ahead and eat it too."

Qu Xiaorou stared at the purse in a daze.

"Where did this come from, sir?"

"I secretly saved this for emergencies. Even if I leave the capital, I will have money for the journey."

"Now?"

"No need now, hurry up and take the child away.

The candied haws in the morning are fresh and the pies are delicious. I am going to go to work now. "

"Boss, nothing really happened?"

Shen Zhengxin laughed:
“Go ahead, it’s okay.

I will definitely make a name for myself in this life and let you live a good life."

At the beginning of the morning hour, Shen Zhengxin, who was dressed neatly, ate a bowl of wontons.
He brought two brothers to the door of Guichun Medical Clinic and stood quietly.

A young man beside him licked his lips, as if he was still savoring the taste of the wontons.
I couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother, these wontons are really delicious.
We have been in Yingtian for so long, but this is the first time we have eaten here. However, the portion is too small and too expensive. "

Another younger brother nodded in agreement:

"I'd better not eat it in the future. Buying two steamed buns can satisfy your hunger for a day.

How can we live if we eat wontons all day long? "

Shen Zhengxin glanced at the two of them and said in a low voice:
"What are you mumbling about? I've spent all my last penny.

If we can’t succeed this time, we’ll be left with nothing.”

"Brother, now that the job is done, you can't not give me some benefits."

"That's right, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work."

Shen Zhengxin is not as optimistic as them.
I just feel heavy-hearted, because those are three lives.

Just disappeared inexplicably.

Moreover, the Beijing government has already begun investigating the real culprit, and there’s no telling when they might be found.

By that time.
Shen Zhengxin asked himself,
If he were a big shot, he wouldn't waste his energy on them.

The simplest way is to kill the person and put an end to it all.

He knew that if the young master really wanted to kill them, they would have no chance of survival.

At this time, the door of Guichun Medical Clinic was opened.

A carriage with quaint decorations slowly drove up from a distance and stopped at the door.

Zhu Jinyu lifted the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and cast his eyes towards the three trembling people.

"Meet Shopkeeper Zhu"

Zhu Jinyu nodded gently.
He looked at the middle-aged female manager who came out of the clinic and said:

"Auntie He, take them to the inner room and prepare some food to entertain them."

"Yes"

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhu. Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhu."

A hint of joy flashed in Shen Zhengxin's eyes, even though they had made an appointment for three days.

But he had no idea whether it would work.

Now we have a good start.

At least the shopkeeper Zhu, who usually never paid any attention to them, spoke to them.

The three were quickly settled in the inner room, and the waiter brought them food and tea.

Shen Zhengxin started to eat without any hesitation. The two younger brothers beside him became suspicious when they saw him.

"Brother, isn't this rude?"

"Eat first. Even if I die, I want to die with a full stomach."

Shen Zhengxin waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down.

The two of them sat down quickly and joined the group feasting.
However, the three of them were in heavy moods, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing.

At two quarter past three in the morning, Lu Yunyi arrived at Guichun Medical Clinic.

He dismounted, took a small wooden box handed to him by Feng Yunfang, and walked in.

The waiter at the door saw him coming and lowered his head.
She bit her lips lightly, a trace of unwillingness flashed in the corner of her eyes:
"Greetings, Master Lu. The shopkeeper is in the inner room."

"Ah."

Lu Yunyi nodded and walked straight forward.
Familiar with the place, he soon saw Zhu Jinyu who was preparing prescriptions behind many medicine boxes.

"Cough cough."

Lu Yunyi coughed lightly, Zhu Jinyu's body trembled and he suddenly raised his head.

Seeing that it was him coming, he relaxed and complained:

"The master came and didn't say a word, which scared Jinyu."

Lu Yunyi chuckled, walked forward and placed the small wooden box in front of her.

Doubt flashed in Zhu Jinyu's eyes:
"This is?"

"This is a complete set of jewelry made of Siamese gemstones. There is no other jewelry in the capital."

Zhu Jinyu was startled, and her eyes gradually brightened.

The box was gently opened, and five crystal clear gems with blood-red fluorescence came into view.

Neatly arranged and inlaid on different jewelry.

"Wow"

Zhu Jinyu opened her red lips slightly, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.
She suddenly looked up at Lu Yunyi, her eyes full of admiration and love.

"My Lord, this is too precious."

Lu Yunyi shuddered when she looked at him and waved his hand:
"The jewels were given by Siamese, so I won't refuse them.
As for other accessories, they were all made by jewelry shops in the city.

If you don’t like it, you can remove the gem and rebuild it.”

"How could that be? Jinyu likes everything given by adults." For some reason, Zhu Jinyu showed some little woman's attitude, tilted her head, and a hint of obsession flashed across her face.

Lu Yunyi felt a little uneasy when she looked at him, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Have Shen Zhengxin and the others arrived?"

"Sir, I'm already here. I'll take you there."

Zhu Jinyu closed the box.

Then he naturally took Lu Yunyi's arm.

Even before she went out, she leaned her head over with a sweet smile on her face.

With a faint fragrance coming to my face,

Lu Yunyi felt admiration again. Mature women are really attractive.

Not long after, Lu Yunyi arrived at the place where Zhu Jinyu usually read books and prepared medicine.
At the same time, the female steward also brought Shen Zhengxin over.

Just like three days ago,

Lu Yunyi sat at the top, and Zhu Jinyu stood beside him.
Shen Zhengxin stood respectfully below, half bent over.

The atmosphere in the house was dull, and the sunlight shone in through the complicated window lattices.
It hit the air, illuminating the mayflies within.

Lu Yunyi looked at him, his face still calm:

"You did a good job, what do you want?"

Shen Zhengxin was stunned, and his expression became complicated.
He had thought about this question more than once in the past few days and already had the answer in his mind.

He fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed heavily, and said in a sorrowful voice:
"Sir, I am willing to stay in Yingtian and serve you at my utmost."

Lu Yunyi's mouth twitched slightly and he pushed a letter on the table over.

"These are the land deeds and house deeds of two shops in Beijing, as well as several acres of land in Jiangning County.
From now on, you will have a foothold in the capital."

“There are too many people who have seen you, so your identities have not been redone.

But I have arranged a brother for you.

He was all alone and had no descendants. He died of illness a month ago. You inherited all his shops and lands."

Shen Zhengxin suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.
His lips were dry. He had thought of countless scenarios, the best and the worst, and he was prepared for them all.

But unexpectedly, the reward was much more generous than he imagined!

Lu Yunyi raised his chin and saw that he was stunned:
"What are you standing there for? Take it and have a look.
If someone asks you next time, don’t let it slip.”

Shen Zhengxin licked his lips, stood up, bent over and walked to the table.
Pick up the envelope and open it gently.

What caught my eye were two land deeds, stamped with the seal of Yingtian Prefecture.

Moreover, the store’s address is very good.

One is the Xingyuan Tea House at No. 3 Hubu Street, and the other is the Wanxin Restaurant at No. 17 Wangfu Street.

Both streets are connected to Huowa Lane and are also the core areas of the capital.

Shen Zhengxin was overwhelmed by this huge surprise.

My mind is blank, without any thoughts.

A man who still lives in a thatched hut in the morning,

He suddenly became the owner of two shops and became extremely wealthy.

This kind of shock did not make Shen Zhengxin feel happy.

Instead, I felt a strong sense of fear.

As a gang member, he knew very well.

In Yingtian City, if you want to get "one", you have to pay at least "ten".

In front of these shops and land, the three lives became as light as a feather.

He didn't look any further.
Instead, he took a step back, fell to his knees, and with a bang, his head hit the bluestone slab:

"If you have any instructions in the future,
Shen Zhengxin dared not disobey, even if it meant going through fire and water!"

Lu Yunyi's expression was calm.
Having heard such words so many times, he no longer felt any ripples in his heart.

"What's the name of your gang?"

Shen Zhengxin felt awkward for no reason, and seemed to find it difficult to speak:

"Reporting to the Lord, the Three Sages Gang"

"There are only three of you in the gang?"

Shen Zhengxin nodded, with helplessness on his face:

"Reporting to the Lord, Yingtian is prosperous and has many opportunities for living.

But for someone like me who has no skills, life is extremely difficult.

After a year of hanging around, there are only two brothers.

I dare not hide the truth from you, sir. They were both beggars outside the city.

I felt that it was a bit too weak to guard Huowa Lane alone, so I went to find these two people to come."

After hearing this, Lu Yunyi looked Shen Zhengxin up and down and felt that this man had some abilities.

He turned his head to look at Zhu Jinyu, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.

Zhu Jinyu was very sensible. She leaned over, put her lips close to his ear, and whispered:

"Sir, these three people are often in Huowa Lane.
I just do some odd jobs, and I don’t do anything sneaky or anything like that.”

Lu Yunyi nodded and turned to look at Shen Zhengxin:

“I have no control over the name of your gang. If you want your gang to grow bigger in the future, having only three people is too shabby.

It was agreed in advance that stealing, committing crimes and so on were not allowed.

There are so many profitable businesses in this world, why do you want to do this? "

Shen Zhengxin's heart was pounding, and he bowed quickly:

"Don't worry, sir. Although I am a member of the gang,

But with a wife and children at home, he would never do anything that is against the law.

I came to the capital city to make a stable living.

But unfortunately, the money he earned was not enough to support his family, so he decided to join a gang."

"Well, Jinyu has seen your performance.

It was she who recommended you to me. You should take care of the area around Huowa Lane in the future."

Shen Zhengxin's breathing gradually became rapid.

I dared not look up, but just kept bowing:
"Thank you for your kindness, Manager Zhu. If you have any instructions in the future, I will obey them."

Zhu Jinyu's voice was calm:
"Listen carefully to your words, and I will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes!"

Lu Yunyi looked at Shen Zhengxin:

"Okay, do you have any more difficulties?

Tell me all at once, and I will solve it for you while I am in Beijing."

Shen Zhengxin thought for a moment and said tentatively:

“Sir, the area around Wangfu Street is the territory of the Red Grass Gang.

There are nearly thirty brothers among them.

If the villain develops suddenly, there may be some conflicts with him.

I would like to ask if you could help me investigate the background of the Red Grass Gang.

I have always heard that their leader has some connection with the steward of the Kaiping Palace."

Lu Yunyi nodded and looked at Shen Zhengxin:
"Someone will come to see you this afternoon. His name is Xu Zengshou, the son of the King of Zhongshan.
Take him to the Red Grass Gang and let him handle it.

If you have any difficult problems in the future, go to him.

I have no other request for you. Just develop your gang well and don't do anything that would make everyone hate you."

Shen Zhengxin felt as if his heart stopped beating for a beat, and he heard something.

King of Zhongshan?
King of Zhongshan!!

"Huhu."

"My lord, I will follow you till death, even if it means death!!"

"I'll let Jinyu tell you what to do next."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yunyi stared at Shen Zhengxin with sharp eyes and reminded him:
"When you rise to a high position suddenly, you will inevitably become frivolous. Don't do things that make you lose your composure.

If you don’t do well, go back home.”

"Yes, I will never get carried away!!"

"Go."

"The villain resigns"

After Shen Zhengxin left, Zhu Jinyu's eyes flashed with some doubt:
"Sir, is there anything else you need Jinyu to do?"

Lu Yunyi took out a letter from his arms and handed it over:

"This is the follow-up arrangement. I'll give it to him after he settles down."

"Jinyu knows."

Zhu Jinyu nodded obediently.

Having solved a big problem, Lu Yunyi felt relieved.
He leaned back in his chair and looked at Zhu Jinyu:
"What about you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhu Jinyu squatted down and rested her head on Lu Yunyi's thigh.
With empty eyes, he whispered softly:
"A hero like you,
How can Jinyu ask the adults to do anything? If the adults have any instructions, Jinyu will obey them. "

"Raise your head." Lu Yunyi's voice was cold.

Zhu Jinyu raised her head obediently.

Looking at him from bottom to top, there was some obsession in his eyes.

Her cheeks, as white as mutton-fat jade, were faintly blushed, making her look delicate and charming.

His eyes were bright and clear, and the obsession in them became deeper and deeper.
The slightly raised eyebrows added a bit of agility to her.

A few strands of hair casually fell on both sides of her cheeks, making her skin look even whiter than snow.

Lu Yunyi reached out and helped her tuck two strands of hair behind her ears.

"Go to your resting place."

Hearing this, Zhu Jinyu felt even more numb all over.

Goosebumps appeared on her skin, and she opened her red lips slightly, with a bit of tenderness:

"Yes"
