Chapter 74: Business Done, Can't Go Back on It
Li Banfeng really wanted to return to Ligou.
If private detective Da Boyens is really from Jiang Xiang's gang, Li Banfeng must not stay in Yujiazhai, otherwise when Jiang Xiang's gang sends troops to surround Yujiazhai, Li Banfeng will have no chance to escape.
If Da Boyens is not from Jiang Xiang's gang, Li Banfeng must try his best to find out his origins.
Moreover, Li Banfeng wanted to find Shopkeeper Feng to find out the origin of the record player.
In addition, I also need to ask Lu Yin about things. It is too difficult to go to Lu Yin from another state. If Yu Nan can't handle the matter, he has to ask shopkeeper Feng to find out more.
If he really needs 20 million, Li Banfeng must carefully consider returning to Yuezhou.
Therefore, returning to Ligou as soon as possible is the only correct choice.
Li Banfeng is leaving, and so is Xiaopang.
"Seventh Brother, my life, Qin Tianjiu, will be yours from now on. No matter whether I go up the mountain of knives or go down into the sea of fire, as long as you say a word, I will not blink an eye."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't blink, but you have to stop me. I'm already on the mountain of swords. You can't pretend you didn't see me."
Qin Xiaopang thought for a long time, nodded and said: "What Qi Ge said makes sense, let me kowtow to you first."
Li Banfeng frowned even more: "You are not allowed to kowtow to a living person in the future. If anyone asks you to kowtow, you will kill him."
Qin Xiaopang thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Seventh brother is right. When should we leave?"
"You'd better not leave and rest in Yujiazhai for a few days. I'll give you some money and ask shopkeeper Yu to cook you more delicious food." Li Banfeng was a little worried about Qin Xiaopang's physical condition. He stood there longer After a while, I was sweating all over my body.
Qin Xiaopang smiled and said, "Brother Qi, don't worry. I can find a way out when we go back to Ligou, and I won't drag you down. I'm not afraid of the Geng family, nor are I afraid of those bastards from Jiang Xiang's gang!"
Yu Nan advised from the side: "Boss Qin, this can't be done out of emotion. Now is the time when Jiang Xiang's gang is getting angry. Let alone Ligou, as long as you leave Yujiazhai, you will be in trouble."
Qin Xiaopang shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Yu, thank you for your kindness. I know I have a narrow escape this time, but if I can't leave Yujiazhai today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in this life.
Brother Qi, can you lend me some money? I’ll buy some dry food from Shopkeeper Yu first! "
This money should really be given. The food in Yujiazhai is all carried back from outside by Yu Nan's subordinates.
Li Banfeng had just taken out his wallet when he saw Yu Nan waving his hands and saying, "Master Qi, don't be ashamed of us. What's dry food? It doesn't matter if Shopkeeper Qin eats here for the rest of his life. I'm just worried..."
Qin Xiaopang smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yu, don't worry, I, Qin Tianjiu, will not die. I will have to come to congratulate you when you open your shop in the future."
Li Banfeng exclaimed: "He is really a decent person!"
Yu Nan looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Master Qi, I will go back to Ligou with you."
Li Banfeng asked seriously: "Are you also a decent person?"
Yu Nan looked embarrassed and said: "I'm not, I didn't..."
"Since there is no seed, just hide here and don't run around."
Li Banfeng was not joking. Yu Nan was in a different situation than him. She was dragging a member of the Yu family's gang with her. With her ability and strength, she could not return to Ligou now.
Li Banfeng left Yujiazhai.
Yu Nan was a little impulsive. She really wanted to follow Li Banfeng.
But the old treasurer stopped her: "Shopkeeper, wait a minute, we know it's a knife edge, we can't hit it up, Boss Li is a master, we can't compete.
Jiang Xiang's gang can't keep watching us. After a year and a half, the storm has passed, and it won't be too late for us to return to Ligou. "
…
Li Banfeng walked quickly on the dark new ground, Qin Xiaopang followed with difficulty behind him.
When they were going up the hillside, Li Banfeng pulled Qin Xiaopang and said, "If you can't bear it, don't show off. I still think you should stay in Yujiazhai for more time to recuperate."
Qin Xiaopang wiped his sweat and said, "Seventh brother, if you think I'm walking slowly, you should leave first and don't wait for me."
"You have trouble walking now. How will you cope with the Geng family when you return to Ligou?"
Qin Xiaopang gnawed on a piece of dry food: "I said, I will never involve Brother Seventh, I am ready to join the gang."
"Which gang should I join?"
"Sanyingmen."
Although Li Banfeng had no idea about gangs, he had heard Yu Nan talk about Sanyingmen, one of the three major gangs in Puluo Prefecture. Li Banfeng doubted whether Qin Xiaopang had the qualifications to join the gang.
Qin Xiaopang took a sip of water and swallowed the dry food: "You have the qualifications to join the gang. As long as you are a cultivator who has entered the sect, the Sanying Sect is willing to accept it.
It's just that for a person like me who has no level, after joining the gang, I can only be a soldier. I can't see the good food and drink, but I am the first to charge into the battle. "
Isn't this just being cannon fodder?
Li Banfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "What are the benefits of entering Sanyingmen?"
Xiaopang said: "After entering Sanyingmen, those gangsters from Jiang Xiang's gang will no longer dare to provoke me, and the Geng family will not dare to provoke me."
They don't dare to provoke you anymore, but if you become cannon fodder in Sanyingmen, I'm afraid you won't live long.
Li Banfeng asked: "If you reach a higher level, don't you need to be a soldier?"
Xiaopang nodded: "Upon one level, you can be an iron seal in Sanyingmen."
"What does the iron seal mean?"
"He's just a little leader. He has five or six people under his command. He has an iron seal and can take care of some chores on the ground."
As he spoke, Xiaopang's face was full of yearning, and Li Banfeng asked, "Have you wanted to enter Sanyingmen for a long time?"
Xiao Pang shook his head first, then nodded: "I have thought about joining the gang, but I don't want to be a lackey. I have to wait until I reach the first level. It's not shameful to be a seal."
"Then wait a little longer, until you can eat 20 kilograms of rice."
"I tried it once," Xiao Pang shook his head, "I bought 20 kilograms of steamed buns and wanted to try it, but I couldn't eat 13 kilograms. I'm not that kind of person at all."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Who can swallow 20 kilograms of steamed buns? When we get to Li Gou, we'll eat good food. Find the best and eat 20 kilograms!"
Xiao Pang smiled and said nothing.
The two walked out of Jiangyue Mountain. Li Banfeng found a carriage and walked for a day and a night. The two returned to Li Gou.
Xiaopang was going to the hall of Sanyingmen and asked Li Banfeng if he wanted to go with him: "Seventh brother, I see that you have reached a higher level. I know someone in the gang. If you join the gang, you will definitely get the iron seal."
"You know someone. Take care of yourself first. Even if you are a soldier, you should choose a good job."
After sending Xiaopang to the hall, Li Banfeng went to Feng's grocery store.
Shopkeeper Feng sat in front of the counter, his face flushed, humming an opera: "There are forty-eight stations in Xiliangchuan. I don't charge for the people I want for the army!"
This is "Wujiapo". My wife likes to sing it, and Li Banfeng always listens to it.
He originally wanted to sing a line, but the clerk Chunsheng saw Li Banfeng and trembled with fear. He immediately shouted: "Shopkeeper, the debt collector is here!"
Shopkeeper Feng had seen big scenes before. Seeing Li Banfeng coming to the door, he first told Chunsheng to close the shop and then invited Li Banfeng to the inner room.
Li Banfeng sat in the inner room. Manager Feng first brewed a pot of tea for Li Banfeng and then asked: "Boss Li, I know why you came. I am indeed a little sorry about this matter.
But friendship is friendship, business is business, and we cannot regret it after the deal is done. If you feel uncomfortable, I can make up for it for you, but you must not return the things."
Li Banfeng drank a sip of tea and asked in surprise: "Return what?"
Manager Feng added a piece of charcoal to the tea stove: "Boss Li, an open man does not do shady things. Since you are here, we don't need to play dumb. You have already bought the record player. No matter what, you can't send it back."
"Who said to send it back?" Li Banfeng looked at Manager Feng in confusion, "The record player is pretty good, there is nothing wrong with it, why should I send it back?"
"Pretty good..."
Manager Feng was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak.
Since his grocery store took the record player, his life has not been peaceful.
He suspected that Li Banfeng was speaking in a sarcastic way.
Or maybe he was tortured by the record player and went crazy.
"Boss Li, are we talking about the same record player?"
Li Banfeng blinked and said, "I only have one record player."
"Boss Li, do you know that one that can sing without anyone helping it?"
"Yes, isn't the record player used for singing?" Li Banfeng thought it was normal.
Shopkeeper Feng was stunned for a long time: "If you are happy, you can sing a few songs. If you are unhappy, you can sing all night. You can't stop it. You have to listen carefully, otherwise the steam can burn you to death. Do you know this?"
Li Banfeng thought about it and said, "I didn't pay attention to this. If she wants to sing, let her sing. Why stop her?"
Shopkeeper Feng looked at Li Banfeng in astonishment, feeling that this man was unreasonable.
Is he really crazy?
"Boss Li, let me tell you the truth. You may not know that this record player can attract the dead souls around." Anyway, business cannot be regretted, so Shopkeeper Feng told Li Banfeng about his past experience.
An old lady who died in Chuanzi Hutong came to the grocery store every night to listen to music, and she liked to sit next to Feng, the shopkeeper, to listen.
There was an old yellow dog in Yuqian Hutong, who had just died two days ago, and was attracted by the record player. He also came to listen to music every night, lying next to Feng, the shopkeeper's bed, to listen.
It is said that the shopkeeper's old father, who had passed away many years ago, also came back twice. He liked to brew a pot of tea and smoke a pipe to listen.
In Qingxiao Pavilion, Xiaoxuan, who committed suicide by jumping into the river, liked to bring her pipa and play and sing along with the record player.
Hu Sange, who committed suicide with Xiaoxuan, liked to hold a cigarette and listen to music with Chunsheng.
Every night, looking at the shop full of lonely ghosts, he asked how to live like this?
Feng, the shopkeeper, was cruel and asked Chunsheng to throw the record player out.
At 11 o'clock that night, the record player went home on time, first scalding Feng and Chunsheng with blisters, and then continued to sing.
Manager Feng had no choice but to close the shop and move back to his hometown in Waigou with Chunsheng.
But moving back was useless, the record player followed Manager Feng back to his hometown.
Manager Feng rented another house and moved there to hide.
The record player followed Manager Feng that night and sang all night, and warned Manager Feng that no matter where he went, the record player would follow him, and if he dared to leave without saying goodbye next time, he would let Manager Feng and Chunsheng warm up.
The record player also said that she liked the original place.
Manager Feng did not dare to disobey, and moved back to the shop with his employees the next day.
If you can't hide, let's send it away.
Manager Feng discussed with the record player, he was a businessman, and if someone wanted to buy the record player, he couldn't stop them.
The record player agreed, and the next day, Manager Feng offered a price of 20 yuan and sold the record player.
That night, the record player came back again and scalded Manager Feng with blisters, saying that it was sold too cheaply.
Shopkeeper Feng asked for at least 200,000 yuan for the record player, and he could bargain appropriately. Shopkeeper Feng waited until today and finally sold the record player.
He felt sorry for Li Banfeng, but he didn't expect Li Banfeng to say that the record player was good.
After the shopkeeper told all his experiences, he added: "Boss Li, this record player can not only attract the souls of the dead, but also eat the souls of the dead. Did you know this?"
Li Banfeng nodded and said: "I like this about her. She knows how to live and doesn't waste things!"
Seeing that Li Banfeng had gone crazy, the shopkeeper felt more and more guilty and asked Chunsheng to quickly bring 260,000 in cash: "Boss Li, this is your 160,000. I don't want it. I'll give you another 100,000 as a token of my appreciation. What do you think?"
Li Banfeng waved his hands repeatedly: "What are you doing? I really like that record player. I'm not coming to you to return it. I'm coming to buy something."
Shopkeeper Feng was stunned for a while and asked: "Boss Li, what do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy some news, news about this record player. I want to know who is in this record player."
