Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 73: Quan Xing Mian Ren Liu and the Tang Clan

"Brother Yi? Brother Wang, you are quite interesting. This is the first time I hear a servant address his master by this name."

Liu Wei, the young shopkeeper of Jianghu Inn, came in drunk again. Fortunately, Wang Yi was used to it and had someone prepare tea. But looking at Liu Wei's carefree look, Wang Yi was still speechless.

"I say, Shopkeeper Liu, were you heartbroken by a woman when you were young? I see you are not much older than me, but you act like an old drunkard. You are concerned about the country and the people, and although the world is a bit hard, it is not bad for you. I really can't understand why you are drunk all day and night and feel frustrated."

"Hey, I just like this."

Shaking his head, Wang Yi said nothing more. After all, as a cultivator, he had never heard of anyone drinking alcohol and having liver and stomach perforated, so he would just let them be happy. He reached out to Liu Wei, and the young shopkeeper also consciously handed the information he found to Wang Yi. It clearly contained the relevant information about the Quanxing disciple named Liu the Face Man that he had asked Liu Wei for help to find out before, and he had a general understanding of Liu the Face Man's character.

I don't know the specific name, but the technique is called "Negative Bone Painting Skin". I guess his master is gone, and he is the only one left.

He called himself Quan Xing, so he naturally did a lot of bad things, but these bad things were just like Wang Yi's master, Ghost Hand King. He didn't do big evil, but he did small evil all the time. His thoughts were probably the same as Ghost Hand King. He wanted to find a disciple with good roots to pass on his skills. He couldn't be Quan Xing, so he didn't need to establish a sect, but just have a legacy. His current address... It's not too far, but it's hard to get there by train.

The deal was settled, but Wang Yi was not in a hurry to see the guest off. Instead, he looked at the painting of autumn-leaf begonia hanging in front of him, wanting to see the reaction of Liu Wei, the young shopkeeper.

As expected, this young shopkeeper is still a young man after all, only a few years older than Wang. Young people of this age, no matter whether they are cultivators or not, as long as they have some understanding of the current social situation, will feel some emotion when seeing this picture of autumn leaf begonia.

"I bought it from the Commercial Press for a dollar. How's that?"

“The land is vast and rich in resources…”

"It's a pity that good things are always missed."

"Brother Wang, we are just a place for people to rest and eat, and occasionally provide some information. Please be careful with what you say and do."

As soon as Wang Yi opened his mouth, Liu Wei knew that this guy was up to no good.

Although he was not at the banquet after the martial arts competition at the birthday party of the old man of the Lu family, someone had already specifically repeated Wang Yi's words to Jianghu Inn. This information would be ignored by others, but Liu Wei and Wang Yi had met six times. Basically, Wang Yi would do something big every time they met. Why did he come again this time? He, Liu Wei, still wanted to live a few more years to drink! He quickly interrupted the spell.

"What are you thinking, Young Master Liu? I just want to ask Young Master Liu, does your Jianghu Inn have anyone who knows geomancy and can map roads? If not, you can introduce me to someone who can do this. The price is negotiable."

"As a Jianghu inn, we have to have our own channels to spread information. Otherwise, how can we open restaurants all over the country? Just like now, I can point out the locations of our restaurants on this map of autumn-leaf begonias."

"Please~"

Liu Wei, the young shopkeeper, gently waved his folding fan, and dots of ink on the fan flew out, turning into red dots in the air and falling red on this picture of autumn leaves and begonias.

Wang Yi saw clearly that Jianghu Inn was distributed in four provinces, Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and outside the Great Wall. It can be said that Jianghu Inn has its footholds in the coastal areas, central China, and outside the Great Wall. But in the northwest, there are only one or two.

"At most, it can reach the Shaanxi-Gansu area, where there are also a few extraordinary families. Further west, although there are Tibetan Tantric sects, they are too far away. Basically, they practice on their own behind closed doors. They may not come to the Central Plains for ten or eight years, so it is impossible to open a restaurant there."

"So, Manager Liu, you guys do have someone who can depict all the veins on the autumn-leaf begonia in detail, right?"

"Of course. This is a delicate job. Although there are methods, it is really hard to complete without three to five years. And the price is not easy to negotiate. You have to know that in today's world, people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. Bandits and road robbers are fine, but there are also some sparsely populated areas. There are many beasts who eat people and become powerful. If you are not careful, they will become your meal."

Liu Wei roughly guessed what Wang Yi was going to do, but this order was not easy to take. There was no fixed amount of money or time required.

"There is no rush for now. The finer the veins on this autumn-leaf begonia, the better. As for encountering difficult beasts, I won't force them. I'll just avoid them and make a note. As for the money, hey, I still have a little wealth in this Guan Dao sect. A promissory note of one hundred dollars is enough, right?"

"Brother Wang, you are really generous. You just threw this money to me without blinking an eye. I will keep it for you first. Whether it can be done or not, you still need to ask those knowledgeable gentlemen first."

"That's natural. If you run into any problems, just tell me and I'll talk to those knowledgeable gentlemen."

"I see. Brother Wang, can you tell me the bottom line first? These veins are thick and thin. Which ones are thinner and which ones are thicker are better?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't you already know my request? You can't just open this inn in half of China, right?"

Wang Yi never stops talking until he shocks someone. Liu Wei feels like he can no longer sit still after hearing this. He knows Wang Yi is a ruthless guy, but if things go wrong like this, he might get dragged into this too!
"Brother Wang, let's stop chatting. I'm leaving first!"

As he said this, he used his ability to penetrate the entire city in an instant and disappeared from Wang Yi's sight in an instant. No one could notice him. Even Wang Yi himself could only barely catch a glimpse of his shadow.

"We really can't underestimate the heroes of the world. They all have some unique skills."

Wang Yi said leisurely, then he stretched out his hand and hit the hand that handed over the money. He was so generous in giving the money just now, but now he felt so distressed when he came to his senses.

A hundred dollars' worth of promissory notes, that's all the Ghost Hand King left for himself before he died after a lifetime of hard work. He gave away a few small promissory notes, and got 90% of Ghost Hand King's entire fortune. It was because he got a lot of gold coins from Yiguan Taoism this time, and he could also collect rent from other forces, otherwise Wang Yi would be heartbroken.

But this money has to be given. No matter how much he feels sorry for it, he can only express it behind others' backs. He still has to maintain his image in front of others.

After finishing this business deal, Wang Yi will have to prepare to do some private work of his own.

Looking at the specific information provided by Liu Wei about this Quan Xing sect member Liu, Wang Yi also had a plan in his mind.

The next two weeks were a normal two weeks with nothing happening in the capital.

After everyone discussed and decided to redivide the territory of I-Kuan Taoism, there were not many restless voices in this territory that originally belonged to I-Kuan Taoism. On the contrary, because Jishiditang, Yanwutang, Jiyun Society and Baiyun Temple divided the work and cooperated with each other, the people in this area, who had been bewitched by I-Kuan Taoism to the point of losing everything and selling their children, now had some hope.

Of course, this was also because Wang Yi wanted to return the hard-earned money that Yiguan Taoism had sucked from them, otherwise Wang Yi would not have felt so distressed about throwing a bank draft of one hundred dollars to Liu Wei.

Those are the extra private properties of the senior leaders of I-Kuan Taoism, which are separate from the public funds.

There is only so much private property, and every time you use it, it becomes less. The next income will have to wait until next month when you collect rent.

As for Wang Yi himself, he and Liang Ting took Qin Erye and Chang Siye to wander around in the small piece of land that belonged to them. Fortunately, Qin and Chang were also considered old men in the capital, and they were also considered top figures in the early years. Everyone knew these two.

I also understand that the I-Kuan Taoism, which was nailed as a heresy by Baiyun Temple, is gone. Now these two are the ones who have the final say and do things in this area. The two young men, one strong and one thin, next to them are the spokespersons for the two elders.

Ordinary people don’t know why the I-Kuan Taoism was labeled a cult, but they can clearly feel that their lives are much easier without the I-Kuan Taoism.

As for those who believe in Yiguan Taoism, Baiyun Temple will naturally take action to deal with it. After all, they are from the Quanzhen lineage of the Taoist ancestral temple, and their eloquence is no worse than that of these cult scammers.

It took two weeks to deal with the situation in the capital, and Wang Yi also told Liang Ting, Mr. Qin Erye, and Mr. Chang Siye that he was going on a long journey.

"Brother Liang, I'll leave the house in your care."

"I know. By the way, take this."

Liang Ting handed Wang Yi a belt similar to a magazine buckle, and the nine coffin nails that were capable of causing harm that he had seized from the weapon refiner Yuan Jingui were lying quietly inside it.

"I have separated them into their entirety, so they can be used individually. This thing is for recycling. It matches your true Qi characteristics. You just need to activate and nurture it when the time comes."

“Brother Liang, you are this!”

Wang Yi gave Liang Ting a thumbs up, and Liang Ting's face, which looked like a snowy owl, also showed a simple smile.

After saying hello to Mr. Qin Er and Mr. Chang Si who were out to see him off, Wang Yi, wearing a hat, scarf and a brown gown, also carried a small box and headed for Qianmen Railway Station, ready to look for Liu, the face-man of the Quanxing Sect.

Wang Yi's departure was not a big deal, but his every move would naturally be reported to those who were interested.

As soon as Wang Yi boarded the train leaving Beijing, someone sent a portrait and information about Wang Yi out of the capital. After a few days, the portrait and information appeared in front of Tang Bingwen, the leader of the Tang Clan in Shu, a sect that specializes in taking killing orders.

The tall and upright Tang Clan leader Tang Bingwen sat on the armchair, looking at the information about Wang Yi and the messenger who brought the money, and also looking at the several disciples he had called to discuss the matter.

"Master Tang, whether you will answer or not, please give me a definite answer. I will be waiting outside the house. When you reply, I will pass the message to my master."

The visitor tactfully withdrew, and Tang Bingwen also looked at the other three disciples.

The head master of the Tang Clan, Tang Jiaren.

The eldest brother of the younger generation of Tang Clan, Li Ding.

Deputy head of Tang Clan, Tang Houren.

"Three of you, tell me, should we accept this order or not?"
