Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 1178 Meeting of Four Merchants

Xu Tinglong is very satisfied with Lu Xiaobei's performance today.

"Xiao Lu, you are really my lucky general. I didn't expect your sword skills to be so good, but why don't you wear a sword?" Xu Tinglong asked.

"There is no suitable famous sword." Lu Xiaobei smiled faintly.

"Do I need a famous sword?"

"Swordsmanship must be paired with famous swords to perform more pure martial arts. Otherwise, the power of swordsmanship itself will be greatly reduced!" Lu Xiaobei said truthfully.

Xu Tinglong can understand this kind of theory.

He himself is also a martial arts practitioner. Although he has not entered the sect to become a real practitioner, he still has some kung fu.

"Famous sword, I will help you figure out a way. My lucky general must have a famous sword in his hand!" Xu Tinglong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Shou Ling!"

"It's me who should thank you. You helped me clean up the Lei family. The government's financial resources will be greatly improved. Helping you find a famous sword is my reward for you. Stay by my side and assist me in the future. I will never treat you badly."

Lu Xiaobei smiled, his ambition is not here, and the government house is only a temporary residence, which is convenient for him to practice.

Next, Lu Xiaobei and Xu Tinglong chatted about address naming, household registration and fingerprinting.

Lu Xiaobei thought of how to extract fingerprints.

This method benefited from a movie he had watched in modern China before.

In this Zhenwu Continent, in an era without machines, only a manual comparison method can be used.

As for collecting fingerprints, it is even simpler.

Dissolve gypsum powder or paraffin wax to make molds, and file and sort out all the fingerprint databases of the Wangu Town situation. In this way, a magnifying glass can be used for manual comparisons to compare them step by step according to the arts and sciences.

This method is the original method without fingerprint machines in the initial criminal investigation and case detection. In the past, it was all compared manually.

As the team leader of this census, Lu Xiaobei wants to teach this method to his subordinates.

The following days are very busy, Lu Xiaobei can only make up the time to practice at night.

That night, when Lu Xiaobei taught the officers and soldiers a lesson on modeling, rich businessmen from the entire Wangu Town gathered together.

They are meeting to study what happened during the day.

With a population of less than [-], Wangu Town is considered a big town in Zhenwu Continent. Now, with the fall of the number one rich man in Wangu Town, many wealthy businessmen are in danger.

The meeting place of several wealthy businessmen is located in an underground gambling house in Wangu Town.

This casino was opened by Lin Dong.

Lin Dong is in charge of all the casino business in Wangu Town, and he is also the king of the casino.

The difference from the Lei family is that the Lin family is mainly engaged in gambling, while the Lei family is in the mining business.

Now that the Lei family has collapsed and the mining business has been taken over by the government, the others have changed their minds.

At this gathering, there were the Lin family who ran the gambling shop business, the Zhang family who occupied the chicken pawnshops, the Su family who mainly engaged in the medicinal material business, and the boss Wan who was the auction house in Wangu Town.

Boss Wan is the strongest among the four, not only financially, but also forcefully.

Auction houses are no different than other industries. How dare they dominate Wangu Town without confidence, and are even favored by many practitioners.

The theme of tonight's gathering is very clear, which is to discuss a way to deal with the government.

The downfall of the Lei family made the wealthy merchants in Wangu Town feel the crisis.

"Everyone talk about their own ideas. I feel that this newly appointed clerk should not be underestimated. There are rumors outside that he is a high official sent by the Tianqi Dynasty to rectify counties. He killed the number one master of the Lei family with a single sword Yang Taiping, that swordsmanship has reached its peak." Lin Dong who occupied the casino was the first to speak.

"The mines of the Lei family are located on the west side of the town, which is close to the hinterland of Gu Yuemen. I heard that Lei's family still has connections with Gu Yuemen. If the government goes to confiscate them now, how can Gu Yuemen stand idly by?" Zhang Duanyun, the eldest brother of Chicken Dang, said in an old spirit. The state is not very good, but there is a scheming heart.

Now only 40 years old, he is obsessed with women all day long, as thin as a bamboo pole.

"Brother Zhang, you mean to watch the government and Gu Yuemen kill each other? Let's reap the benefits?" Su Yuntong, the overlord of medicinal materials, blinked his small eyes and said meanly.

Su Yuntong's eyes are small, and his figure is fat, making him a fat man with a pleasant appearance.

He is the cutest among the four!
"It's not impossible to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, the key is to fear that neither the Gu Yuemen nor the government is a good stubble." Lin Dong said coldly.

"Boss Wan has been silent, what's your opinion? You are the backbone of us!" Su Yuntong said with a smile.

The three looked at Wan Baixi.

Wan Baixi has a moustache, which is very delicately groomed. In modern times, he is still a handsome man. Although he is already in his forties, his charm is still the same as before.

"No matter what my auction house does, it will not interfere with the housekeeper's work, nor will it hinder Gu Yuemen's work. Why should I be afraid?" Wan Baixi said with a smile.

"Boss Wan, do you mean sweeping the snow in front of the door?" Lin Dong stared.

"My Wanjia's auction house is doing business in an upright manner. Lei Tian was born to do his own crimes and is so arrogant that no one can stand it. The downfall of the Lei family is actually a shocking move by the government. In the end, they may have to deal with the few of us present here, this new clerk is very smart, not only has superb swordsmanship, but even uses strength!" Wan Baixi pointed out the current problem.

"What do you mean? What is borrowing power?" Lin Dong asked inexplicably.

"Lu Xiaobei will definitely not be sent by the Tianqi Dynasty. Regardless of his background, he is so clever to use the Tianqi Dynasty to clean up the Lei family. In fact, the government ultimately relies on the Tianqi Dynasty. His leverage is very good. In place, it has left an indelible and tall image in the hearts of the people of Wangu Town. I can't say where the next second fire will burn? But I advise everyone not to touch the idea of ​​​​Lei's minerals, otherwise, it will be dangerous to catch fire. It's not going to end well!"

Wan Baixi is very resourceful and resourceful.

Not only did he see that Lu Xiaobei was not born in the royal family, but he even asserted that Lu Xiaobei would go the next route. He was indeed a business tycoon that should not be underestimated.

"Then Boss Wan means watching the fire from the other side? Let's find out the limelight first?" Lin Dong said.

"Think about it for yourself! I still have something to do, Wan Mou will go first!"

Saying goodbye to everyone, Wan Baixi left Lin Dong's gambling house.

"This old guy is really a chicken thief!" Su Yuntong snorted coldly.

"Old Wan's thoughts are beyond our comprehension!" Zhang Duanyun said with a smile.

"Then let's act according to Lao Wan's will!" Lin Dong couldn't find a particularly good solution, and Wan Baixi's words were undoubtedly the safest strategy at the moment.

The meeting was not perfect, and the four merchants could only think about it independently.

Wan Baixi, who was the first to leave, did not return to the auction house immediately, but took a carriage to the government.

"I must meet the newly appointed clerk!" Wan Baixi said in a deep voice, rubbing his chin while sitting in the carriage.
