Chapter 224 Mrs. Qiu's trump card
Young Master Qiu said, "Master Yuyou?"

Old Master Qiu said: "That's right, Master Yuyou. When I met Master Yuyou in the past, I was only in my 20s, and Master Yuyou was already in his 70s! If he was still alive, he would probably be over 130 years old!" "

Qiu Shao said: "Master Yuyou must be an eminent monk in Buddhism."

Old Master Qiu shook his head and said, "Master Yuyou is actually not a monk, nor a Taoist priest, but a fortune teller. But his reputation is so great that everyone calls him Master Yuyou! His hexagrams are indeed very accurate! "

Qiu Shaodao: "Did he never count as a miss?"

Old Master Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't know if he made a wrong calculation for others. As long as I don't know it, it means nothing. At least the three hexagrams I asked him to calculate were all accurate, because everything came true afterwards. Yes. His calculations are really accurate." There was infinite admiration in the words, but also a trace of fear!

Qiu Shao's eyes flickered: "Is this the fourth hexagram about the Qiu family's luck?"

Old Master Qiu looked up at the head and sighed: "Of course it's the fourth hexagram. It's because he calculated the first three things very accurately, so I'm worried about the fourth thing coming true!"

Qiu Shaodao: "Old Master, what do you think we should do?"

The old man Qiu said: "If what that Feng said is true, and the Zhang family's five masters at the peak of the Ninth Realm have all been abolished by him, then our Qiu family will be like a mantis in front of him, and we can't stop him from thundering." One blow! If everyone wants to survive, it seems that the only way is to surrender. I am already 80 years old, it doesn't matter, I have seen through life and death long ago, but you are still young, and the day is still early."

Qiu Shaoxin said: You are practicing every day such as gathering the three flowers at the top, the five qi are at the top, and collecting yin and nourishing yang, isn't it just to prove Taoism and longevity?Why do you suddenly say that you have seen through life and death again?Insincere, is grandpa testing me?
Qiu Shao frowned and said, "Is there really no other way but to surrender? Is my Qiu family really just waiting to die? Is there no chance to fight back and let go?"

The old man Qiu said indifferently: "No. Does the Qiu family still have the capital to fight with him? He killed five of the Zhang family's nine-level peaks, and our Qiu family only has three nine-level peaks. How can he kill him?"

Young Master Qiu stared at the old man closely and said: "For so many years, you old man has no trump card of his own? Don't you have other strengths to rely on? I think the old man must have a back hand!"

There was a strange look in Old Master Qiu's eyes, and he said calmly, "Why do you think so?"

Young Master Qiu clenched his fists tightly and said, "I can only think so! I don't believe that the old man only has this family background!"

The old man suddenly laughed: "Why are you so confident?"

Young Master Qiu said resolutely: "I have only admired Grandpa since I was a child! I have always had great confidence in Grandpa, and I have never been disappointed! So I don't believe that the Qiu family was ruined like this! I am not reconciled! "

Old Master Qiu looked at him for a while, and finally said leisurely: "People from Liancheng came to Guangzhou a few years ago, and the contacts were two masters at the top of the Nine Realms. They meant that Mr. Lian wanted to occupy a place in Guangzhou. I was with him at that time. The two masters under him communicated in private. Liancheng’s expectation in Guangzhou is 1000 million taels of silver every year, so I told them that I give Liancheng 1000 million taels of silver every year for one purpose. Guess what the end result is?"

Qiu Shao pondered for a moment and said: "Since the Qiu family is still very prosperous in Gwangju, it is natural that the two sides hit it off, and Liancheng will no longer interfere in the affairs of the underworld in Gwangju."

Old Mr. Qiu said: "That's right, this is just one of them! The most important result is that I reached an agreement with Liancheng by the way!"

A strange look flashed in Qiu Shao's eyes: "What agreement?"

Old Mrs. Qiu said: "I give Liancheng an additional 500 million taels of silver every year, so that he can ensure that my Qiu family will not be disturbed by outsiders. To put it bluntly, 500 million taels is his protection fee! Hehe, I collect other people's protection fees in Guangzhou. Liancheng collected my protection fee in Gwangju! It's really a retribution."

Young Master Qiu was startled: "Five million taels per year? The protection fee for the entire Gwangju is less than 500 million even if Zhang and Qiu's two families add up. Isn't that too much?"

Old Mr. Qiu said: "You can't calculate it like this! In Guangzhou, the protection fee collected by Zhang and Qiu's family is indeed less than 1000 million. But the 500 million taels are worth it!"

Young Master Qiu was a little puzzled, staring at Old Master Qiu waiting for his next words.

The old man Qiu also stared at Qiu Yingwu, and said slowly: "First of all, our Qiu family is not at a disadvantage! Because the 500 million yuan was jointly paid by Zhang Qiu and his family!"

Qiu Shao's eyes flashed brightly, and he seemed to be enlightened. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa is really amazing!"

The old man Qiu said: "Secondly, we don't expect to live on this little money when we collect protection fees from others." He stared at Qiu Yingwu, raised his fist and said, "Collecting protection fees is just a way to deter people. , let the people of Gwangju always remember who is in charge of the territory of Gwangju!"

He walked slowly to a copper crane incense burner, and brushed away the curling smoke, "Although 500 million is a lot, it is not as good as the silk production base, silk processing base, porcelain clay mine, porcelain kiln, etc. in the hands of Zhang and Qiu. Casinos, brothels, restaurants and other businesses are nothing compared to others! Giving Liancheng a little protection fee can ensure that Zhang and Qiu's status in the underworld in Gwangju will not be dared to be shaken. How cost-effective and comfortable it is ?”

Qiu Shao said with mixed joy and worry: "It turns out that there is Liancheng behind the Zhang and Qiu families. But the Zhang family has been severely injured. Even if the young master sends someone from the northwest to stop the surname Feng, it seems too late, and he is now at the Qiu family. The water can't quench my thirst!"

Old Master Qiu laughed and said, "Just now you said that you are different, and you have admired your grandfather since you were a child. Why do you suspect your grandfather's methods?"

He suddenly got up, his eyes sparkled, and his momentum soared, "Although Liancheng is far away in the sky, the masters he left behind are in Guangzhou! His masters are like a cloud, and they rotate once a month. Today, there are three masters who are at the peak of the nine realms." In Gwangju! And you really think Grandpa only knows Liancheng?"

Young Master Qiu couldn't help being surprised and said, "Is there any other expert behind Grandpa?"

The old man Qiu straightened up suddenly, his momentum soared, as if he had returned to his youthful years of decisiveness, and he said proudly: "In addition to Sanqin son Liancheng, grandpa also stands behind Wuyangcheng Zhu Wuzi! And Zhu Wugong only stands behind grandpa!" behind!"

Qiu Shao could hear the pun in this sentence.

The Fifth Young Master Zhu naturally has nothing to do with the Zhang family, but it seems that the Fifth Young Master Zhu is not interested in the Qiu family either. According to his grandfather, the Fifth Young Master Zhu only pays respect to his grandfather himself!
Qiu Shao said: "Why does Mr. Zhu have a share? How much does he have to share every year? But grandpa, Mr. Qi Er is the closest to us, why do we seek far away? Why contact Mr. Zhu Wu instead of asking Mr. Qi?"

Old Master Qiu looked strange, and smiled: "Perhaps this is fate! Although the second son of Qi is the closest to us, he is different from us and does not conspire with us. He claims to be well-known and upright, and his father and brother are imperial court officials. Dealing with gangsters! No matter how much money you give him, he can’t do it! But Mr. Zhu Wu is different, I don’t have to pay a copper coin, but he is willing to help!”

Qiu Shaoqi said: "What? There is such a thing, you don't have to pay a single coin?"
