Lu Ming

Chapter 644
The plan was finally seen through, and Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly.

He stared at the nervous Yang Liushui, first he laughed a few times, and then asked teasingly: "Well, my sixth brother, it's been a year since the weather, did you realize something was wrong just now?"

Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Yang Liushui breathed a sigh of relief. He regretted what he said just now, fearing that he said something that shouldn't be said, which would cause trouble for everyone.

So Yang Liushui quickly explained: "Brother, to be honest, brother, I don't dare to inquire about the yamen where you work, so I don't want to ask more questions!"

"what!"

Probably due to drinking a little bit, Zhou Yi is very interested in talking today.He waved his hand lightly: "Sixth brother, the Intelligence Bureau is a private investigative yamen set up by Mr. Cao, which is the same as the Jinyiwei yamen in Guangzhou, so there is no need for Sixth Brother to be afraid of it. "

After a pause, Zhou Yi continued: "Please don't worry, Sixth Brother. I have told you on weekdays what I can let you know. It is a matter of confidentiality. I have a tight-lipped brother, and I have never violated the rules of the yamen."

Hearing this, Yang Liushui breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded again and again: "That's good, that's good! What I said today, my brother, is the truth. I think it's my brother who thinks too much."

"Moreover."

Zhou Yi picked up the matchbox, polished a match, and stared at the flame until a wisp of green smoke rose. Then he said leisurely: "The Jinyiwei yamen of the imperial court, the office of thousands of households and the office of hundreds of households in the city of Guangzhou, Fanzi Isn’t it upright for them to spend their days paying for fresh clothes and riding angry horses across the state?”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi squinted at Yang Liushui with probing eyes: "Sixth brother, tell me, if the imperial court can open these two vast land boundaries, surely Mr. Cao can also open them?"

"Good! Good!"

Speaking of this matter, Yang Liushui, who was "deeply benefited" by a certain force, has a fairly stable class position.

He stretched out his thumb and punched hard on the table twice with his fist: "Master Cao is this! Look at Nanxin City, how well it has been rehabilitated! Officials never take money from small people randomly. Well, in my opinion, Master Cao We should open two more yamen!"

Speaking of this, Yang Liushui suddenly remembered his daily life, and he slammed the table again angrily: "The imperial court just can't see people well! Hmph, the Zagou who was in charge of the street a month ago just accepted a family with 300 ren 'Immunity' money! Half a child is also counted as a head!"

The more Yang Liushui thought about it, the more angry he became: "Ah~ bah! The Panyu county government's trash, what kind of immunity is there! It's just a trick to make money by imitating others, and the feces and urine in the back streets can't be cleaned!"

"Ha ha."

Zhou Yi heard what Yang Liushui said was interesting, so he refilled his tea, during which time he answered intentionally or unintentionally: "Oh, who said otherwise. If Mr. Cao came to manage the old city, there wouldn't be so many bad things."

"Ah! That's right!"

Yang Liushui was filled with righteous indignation: "I think the emperor in the capital was deceived by treacherous ministers! It is time for Mr. Cao to take the top spot in Guangdong and Guangxi! Well, what kind of governor is here?"

"Hahaha! Brother Six, he is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

"Yes, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

Zhou Yi laughed out of relief at this moment, with a fatherly smile on his face as the son of a scumbag who finally scored 60 points in the exam.

The next moment, he reached out and wiped his face, making himself more serious.Afterwards, after taking a few sips of tea slowly, Zhou Yi said: "Brother Six, I am going to the north. It will take a long time, and the weather will take a year or two."

"Oh, so long?" Yang Liushui's thoughts suddenly returned to reality.

"Brother Six, your family must have someone to take care of me now that I'm gone. Have you made any plans for the future?"

"The plan has been in place for a long time, and I wanted to find you, my brother, to be the master today."

Coincidentally.In fact, Yang Liushui has had some thoughts on this issue in private.Even if Zhou Yi didn't ask today, Yang Liushui still wanted to speak up and ask his brothers for advice: "I'm planning to see if I can sell this courtyard house after the Chinese New Year, and then move my family to Nanxin City and buy a place." Commodity housing "Anjia. Brother, is it called commercial housing?"

"Hehe." After Zhou Yi heard it, he "tortured" the elder brother a little teasingly: "Sixth brother, this ancestral house, is it worth the exchange?"

"It's just a courtyard house, small and dilapidated, what is not passed down from ancestors."

Yang Liushui probably has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and today he spoke resolutely and smoothly: "Business in Xincheng is easy to do. This is one. The child's health is not good, and Xincheng is convenient to see a doctor. This is two."

"Moreover." Yang Liushui said, his eyes became firmer: "I got it right after I asked. An apprentice in Xincheng went to take care of food and lodging. He was paid, and the master was kind and not bullying. Your nephew is not a student. It is expected that when the time comes to live there, I will find a workshop for him to be an apprentice."

Lighting a cigarette, Yang Liushui lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I think that iron machine maker is pretty good. He is a serious craft. If you learn it, you will be able to support your family in the future. It's better than walking around with me without a decent job."

When Yang Liushui said this, he raised his head, and looked at Zhou Yi with hope in his eyes: "Brother, do you think I'm going this way, is it the right way?"

"Haha, yes, it's a decent way. There's just one thing that's not right."

Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly after listening to Yang Liushui's "Great Plan".But then his expression changed, and he prolonged his tone. He asked jokingly, "I said, big brother. You don't know the principle of relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water?"

"Rely on the mountain. Eat?"

Yang Liushui was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "Brother, the elder brother has already benefited from you! Look at the wine and meat on the table, and the current moist life, it is all thanks to the things you brought to grow hair."

"cut."

Zhou Yi shook his hands in disdain: "What are these things?

"Brother, you and sister-in-law are relatives of my Zhou Yi. The current situation... I'm afraid it will be turned upside down in a few years. I have to find a way out for you."

When Zhou Yi said this, he took out a white envelope from his pocket and put it gently on the table: "I originally planned to find you a house in Xincheng. But after hearing what you said today, I still feel that it is not Moving is the best policy."

"This is.?"

"letter of introduction."

Looking at Yang Liushui's puzzled eyes, Zhou Yi smiled mysteriously: "There is a 'Kebo Pavilion' on the West Street of the Lin Family Archway, brother, do you know?"

"I know, I know. The store opened two and a half years ago, selling groceries. Brother, I'm not bragging. I don't know any old or new shops in the streets and alleys of Guangzhou!"

"Very good. In the next year, take this letter to the company. That place is actually an expatriate agency at Guangzhou Station, and there will be a special person to receive it. Sixth brother, you went to the market with you, and you should answer the truth, me and yours. To tell the truth about the relationship, there is no need to hide it, just fill out the form and press a fingerprint and it’s over.”

"Finished?"

"Well, other background checks will be done by a special person, you don't need to worry about it. There will be a simple training later to learn the rules. In short, after you are done, you will be an employee of the agency under the General Intelligence Bureau. You will be a scout, and you will receive a regular job. .”

"Sit down and explore!?"

Yang Liushui couldn't understand anything else, but he understood the word Zu Tan.

In an instant, the honest Yang Liushui also woke up from the wine, his face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands wildly: "I'm afraid this is not true. Oh brother, you have done a big job for me! I am afraid that this spy is not for you. Lose your head, do you think I am the material, bro?"

"Which material is it?"

Zhou Yi asked disdainfully: "It's just a simple monitoring of social and public opinion. Is it possible that you want your brother to break into the governor's mansion at night to steal the concubine's flower belly bag and come back?"

"Social conditions?"

"It's what you usually see and hear." Zhou Yi explained patiently: "You are the lowest-level information collector, let alone big jobs, and small jobs will not be assigned to you."

"There is no need to ask, and there is no need to do anything else. On weekdays, Sixth Brother, when you go out to your stall, you see someone who is using earth and dragon dung to repair the back alley ditch, and someone who is poor is being bullied by the guards, and who is crazy on the street? You are cursing the streets and scolding the emperor, just write down these trivial things, and report to the store every few days, and it will be over."

"oh, I see."

Yang Liushui was shocked when he heard this.After silently smoking half a cigarette, after calming down, he finally nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, then I can do this job!"

"Brother, you are a living map of the old city of Guangzhou. This is your ability. With this status, walking around the streets is a serious business." Zhou Yi patted the envelope with his hand lightly at this time: "My endorsement , plus your ability, it is not easy to get this letter of recommendation, so go and work hard when the time comes."

Yang Liushui nodded, his face was full of gratitude: "Brother knows the difficulty, this time I accept your love again."

Although he agreed, Zhou Yi saw that Yang Liushui's face was still a little panicked, so he said a few more words of relief: "Mr. Cao is surrounded by thousands of people, and he has thousands of elite soldiers. He lives a good life with him. What are you afraid of? Just rely on those bullying and fearful officials in the government. How can we take our brothers?"

Yang Liushui nodded: "That's true."

"Sixth brother, once you enter the door of that firm, you will be your own from now on. Even if I'm not here, you will have someone to rely on."

When Zhou Yi said this, he looked proud, leaning on the back of the chair and knocking on the table proudly: "Brother Six, what kind of unit is the Intelligence Bureau, you will know later. Hmph, there are no taboos."

"That's a good feeling. That's it"

"What is it?"

"I don't know how much it is just for the salary of the scout." Yang Liushui said anxiously: "Aren't you going to buy a commercial house?"

"What else to buy!"

Zhou Yi hated iron but steel: "You have a house in the new city, how can you be a scout in the old city!? Salary? What is that little salary!"

"The important thing is the length of service! Do you understand the length of service?"

Zhou Yi's fingers tapped heavily on the table a few times, emphasizing the word "seniority": "With seniority, when Mr. Cao is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he will be able to choose a house before others."

"Hmph." Zhou Yi was looking at the dark sky outside the door, lying on his back on the chair, with a look of disdain on his face: "Those broken commercial houses that don't have water and drainage are all bought by Kuhaha, who has never seen the world. Whoever wants to live."

"When that day comes, Sixth Brother, you will be eligible to buy new commercial housing in the old city based on your seniority."

"Do you know what a new type of commercial housing is?"

"what!?"

"Hmph, upstairs and downstairs, lights and telephones."
