Nine idlers

Chapter 270 Post-war Situation

When everyone was frowning, Guan Poming seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Changqing, who was sitting on the side, who was playing with the black feather in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Boy Xu, you nine-year-old Isn’t the Yimai the best at calculating people? Back then, you just used a trick to drive away tigers and wolfs, and let a red-top official and businessman as big as Hu Xueyan lose his family. Now why don’t you come up with an idea to help these people?”

"Ah?" Hearing Guan Poming's words, everyone was shocked, and their eyes were all focused on this young man who had been silent at the beginning.

"Senior Guan praised you! What happened to Hu Xueyan was done by the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with me." Xu Changqing frowned, and gave Guan Poming a displeased look, with a displeased expression on his face.

The matter about Hu Xueyan was originally a stain that Xu Changqing's sect didn't want to mention.Although Hu Xueyan was a sharp knife used by the Qing court to deal with the Chen family, the property he bought was a national property after all.At that time, it was just to deal with Hu Xueyan, but he completely destroyed such a large industry and made it Hu Xueyan's funeral.Thinking about it afterwards, both Chen Deshang and Xu Changqing's master felt that the whole plan was a bit too vicious, so they didn't carry out the plan and extended the scope of influence to Zuo Zongtang, so Hu Xueyan also saved his life.After Xu Changqing took over the title of owner of Yizhuang, when he made suggestions for the Chen family, he would always leave a chance for the other party. As for whether the other party can grasp this chance and escape from death, it is not his business.

In Xu Changqing's view, Southeast Asia is too chaotic, with officials from various countries, merchants from various countries, local aborigines, and various religious sects all gathered here.All forces are fighting on this small island and waters, which can almost be compared to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China.It can be said that you are singing and I will appear on the stage. Everyone wants to fully grasp the key points of this hub connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.The relationship between the various forces is so messy that even Xu Changqing can't figure it out. In addition, recently, the relationship between the European powers that mainly control Southeast Asia has become extremely tense, which makes a seemingly insignificant incident happen here It may be the fuse that detonates the entire Southeast Asia.It is also because of this that the karmic retribution in it is so great that Xu Changqing also has a sense of fear, so he doesn't want to 'intervene' too much in the affairs here, and sits aside as a stone sculpture. Poming was pushed out.

At this time, a thin old man who looked the oldest among the Chinese merchants stood up, walked up to Xu Changqing, and said respectfully: "This old man is Feng Jiusheng, the big shopkeeper of Heletang! May I ask if you are Chenjiagou, Shaoguan?" The one on Peach Blossom Mountain?"

"He Letang? Feng Jiusheng?" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, and bowed humbly to the old man, saying: "Old benefactor , please accept Xu Changqing's worship!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised, even Guan Poming, who deliberately wanted to pull Xu Changqing into the water, was dumbfounded. He never imagined that the arrogant idler known for his arrogance would have a day to kneel down .At this time, Feng Jiusheng was also confused by Xu Changqing's actions, and he didn't understand why Xu Changqing made such a big gift at all. He didn't realize it until Xu Changqing got up, and quickly apologized, bending down to return the gift to Xu Changqing.

"Mr. Feng, don't be so alarmed. You deserve this gift from me." Seeing Feng Jiusheng wanted to come back, Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and then said with a smile, "Mr. In Chenjiachong Mountain City, a coffin was saved with a section of ancestral jade calamus?"

Following Xu Changqing's question, the old man also gradually remembered some past events, with a hint of surprise on his face, he asked, "Could it be that the coffin was Mr.?"

"Exactly." Xu Changqing nodded.

He Le Tang used to be a well-known small "medicine" shop in Guangzhou, and Feng Jiusheng was the hall and shopkeeper of the "Medicine" shop.Back then, He Letang offended a powerful official and businessman in Guangzhou, and was framed for rebellion. All his family members were imprisoned. Only Feng Jiusheng escaped when he was out shopping.In order to save his family, Feng Jiusheng came to Chen Jiachong secretly, hoping to ask Chen Deshang, the patriarch of the Chen family, for help.It's just that he and Chen Deshang have never met each other, and He Letang has no contact with the Chen family's shop, so going directly to the Chen family is definitely not an option.

At this time, Xu Changqing's mother hanged herself from the beam in the inn where he lived, and Xu Changqing was rescued by the owner of the Yizhuang who came later.It's just that at that time Xu Changqing's qi channels were blocked and all the orifices were sealed. If the owner of Yizhuang at that time forcibly opened his channels with zhenyuan, with the fragile constitution of a baby, even if he was saved, he would become a useless person.Seeing the aura of a rare descendant getting weaker and weaker, the owner of the Yizhuang at that time was naturally very angry, while Feng Jiusheng who was at the side noticed that the Patriarch of the Chen family respected the owner of the Yizhuang at that time, and thought it was an opportunity in his heart.So, he donated the jade calamus that he spent a lot of money to save Xu Changqing.

Calamus originally has the effect of opening up the meridians, regulating qi and activating blood circulation, and Jade Calamus is even a sacred item in calamus, which is rare even in the practice world.Under the action of the 'medical' power of Jade Calamus, Xu Changqing naturally recovered a small life, and Xu Changqing's cultivation base was able to rise steadily at an extremely fast speed, which was not unrelated to that section of Jade Calamus at that time.Afterwards, Feng Jiusheng's matter was resolved by Chen Deshang as he wished, and he also received a large sum of thanks from the Chen family.But because he was afraid of encountering such things again, he decided to move his family south and settled in Southeast Asia, and borrowed the money to open a Heletang firm.

Although Feng Jiusheng's motive at the time was not targeting Xu Changqing, it was a fact that he saved Xu Changqing's life after all.Practitioners pay most attention to karma and enmity, enmity must be avenged, and grace must be repaid, otherwise there will be gaps in the way of practice.When he was rescued back then, Xu Changqing also got the details from his master, so he was also very grateful to Feng Jiusheng and He Letang.Although it is impossible for him to go directly to Southeast Asia to repay his kindness, he will still pay attention to He Le Tang's movements from time to time, and let the Chen family help He Le Tang's business. It is precisely because of the Chen family's help that He Le Tang became Nanyang One of the largest chambers of commerce among Chinese businessmen.

Even so, Xu Changqing still felt that he still owed Feng Jiusheng some kindness, so Xu Changqing wanted to stop in Southeast Asia after getting back the heaven and earth spiritual object this time, to fulfill his last wish of repaying the debt of gratitude, and let himself The realm of the Dao is more complete.But Tian Dao seemed to have already arranged for him, Xu Changqing never thought that he would meet his benefactor in such a place.While sighing in his heart, Xu Changqing couldn't help feeling a little powerless, feeling that he was always under the control of the Dao of Heaven like a 'manipulated' doll.
