257 Tang Ziyue flipped through it and said, "Your Sixth Master really took the trouble."
The steward said, "Haha, as you should. By the way, Master Tang, I'll take my leave now if nothing else."
"Well, go ahead."
Tang Ziyue nodded, and the manager turned around and left with two young men. Seeing the manager so humble, a leader of the fishing gang who came with Tang Ziyue laughed and said, "A bunch of cowards who can't even defend their own territory. They're servile like dogs."
"Yes, the White Tiger Hall was so arrogant back then, and was rude to our main hall. Now it seems like a lost dog, which is embarrassing."
"Yeah, you spineless thing, get out of here, get out of here!"
No one knew who started it, but a group of people shouted together, "Go away, go away, hahahaha... Go away!"
The two young men couldn't stand the scolding. When had Baihu Hall ever suffered such humiliation? They were about to retort but were held back by the manager.
Without saying a word, he pulled them out.
"The one in charge!"
"Go, don't look back."
"They! They are going too far!"
The manager said, "The hall master doesn't care, so why should we care? Let's wait for Master Wu. Then we will get back what we lost!"
…
And the same thing happened on Yongchang Street, at the iron mine!
The entire White Tiger Hall was severely humiliated by the people from the Main Hall. In the past, the White Tiger Hall considered itself to be on equal footing with the Main Hall and did not speak as flatteringly as the other halls. The people from the Main Hall were also very unhappy with them, and now was a good opportunity to give them a good beating.
There had been similar frictions in the past, but because Peng Shizhong was so strong, he never failed to fight back when being beaten.
But after Feng Xuan came to power, if people from the White Tiger Hall dared to beat people from the Main Hall, that would be called insubordination, so not only would he not protect them, he would also have to punish them first to avoid causing displeasure to Nan Batian.
The disciples below were all filled with anger, but had no way to vent it.
He even gave Feng Xuan a nickname in private: Son of the Hall Master!
The hall master, who was like the son of Nan Batian, felt humiliated beyond words!
But Feng Xuan doesn't care about these, he just wants to monopolize power.
…
In the evening, in a small wine shop outside the Shunfeng Escort Agency, Zhou Chu sat alone at a table with a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine. He drank by himself. He had almost finished the wine, but did not eat a single peanut.
"Boss, another pot!"
"Hey, here I come."
The boss responded, but then another person took the wine jug from the boss and said, "I'll take it for you."
The boss was stunned, but still handed it to the visitor.
The man came to Zhou Chu's table with a wine jug.
"Just put it here."
Zhou Chu burped and knocked on the table.
The man did not put the wine down, but took out a wine glass and poured himself a glass. He sat opposite Zhou Chu and grabbed a handful of peanuts and started eating.
Zhou Chu frowned. Who is so bold as to drink my wine?
"you..."
As soon as he said the word "you", he was suddenly stunned. He saw that the person sitting opposite him was wearing coarse cloth clothes and a bamboo hat on his head. He lowered his head and his face could not be seen clearly. He was eating peanuts and drinking a sip of wine.
"You, you look familiar."
Zhou Chu drank a pot of wine and felt a little dizzy, then he spoke.
"You, raise your head so I can see."
Hearing this, the man in the bamboo hat raised his head.
With a smile on his face, he threw another peanut into his mouth. It was crunchy!
Zhou Chu looked at the person in front of him, stood there in a daze, and suddenly couldn't help crying.
Woo woo woo…
Tears streamed down his face and he covered his eyes with his hands.
"Hey, Lao Zhou, don't cry, don't cry!"
Chen Jie stood up and reached out to help.
"Don't call me Lao Zhou, you bastard. Where have you been? Do you know how I've been spending the past few days? Wuuwuwu..."
Zhou Chu slapped Chen Jie's hand away and started crying.
Chen Jie tried to comfort him again: "That's enough, that's enough. I know you've been wronged. It's time for a grown man to cry. Isn't it shameful?"
"Shame on me! What shame am I having? I've been wanting to kill people these past few days. How can I be so embarrassed?"
Zhou Chu wiped his tears, looked up at Chen Jie, and suddenly smiled again.
"You're crying and laughing at the same time, are you crazy?"
Zhou Chu said: "Jiu Si, it's great to see you again!"
Zhou Chu hugged Chen Jie as he spoke. Chen Jie said, "Hey, man, don't be so disgusting. I know you are worried. Everything will be fine when I come back."
Zhou Chu let go of Chen Jie and said, "I'm really afraid that you'll be caught by them. This time, Feng Xuan wants to kill you!"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "I know. Besides, don't you want to ask me if I killed my foster father?"
"How could it be possible that you killed him? Only a fool would believe that you killed my foster father."
Zhou Chu trusted Chen Jie very much, and immediately said in a serious tone: "Jiu Si, are you coming back to the city to pick up Yun Jin and leave? If you want to leave, leave quickly. Mianshui City is very dangerous now."
Chen Jie said: "Let's go, haha, now that I'm here, I'm not going to leave. I'm back for revenge!"
"Ah, Jiusi, don't be silly. You can't deal with Feng Xuan now. He has already transformed his strength. Today, he killed Ying Da with one palm and forced Fu Bo away. He is the most famous person at the moment."
"Hua Jin, haha, is Hua Jin so amazing?"
Chen Jie didn't say anything when he heard this, but raised his hand. Then a layer of faint energy appeared on his palm. Seeing this scene, Zhou Chu's eyes widened.
"Gang, Gang Qi, Jiu Si, you, you have also transformed into energy!"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "It's absolutely genuine."
"Hahaha, this, this is great. You really didn't disappoint me and my brothers. You actually reached the state of Hua Jin in such a short time. How do you describe it? Yes, awesome. Really awesome! Hahaha…"
Zhou Chu stayed with Chen Jie long enough, so he also learned some modern vocabulary.
Chen Jie heard this and asked, "How many people do we have left?"
Zhou Chu heard this and said sadly: "This... we are all just trying to make a living, so you should take this matter easy."
Chen Jie said: "I know that those who are willing to follow me in this situation are all loyal people, but how many people are left?"
After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "After you got into trouble, more than a hundred of our people ran away that day, and later on, more of them ran away. Now, only eight of them are still willing to follow you and never leave you. I have arranged for them to work at Shunfeng Escort Agency."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Eight people, that's not a small number. This time it's a blessing in disguise. It's usually not easy to select loyal people, but now you've selected a group of useful people for me."
Zhou Chu has eight people, Xiaohu has five people, and these thirteen people will be his trusted confidants that he needs to focus on training in the future.
As long as they are loyal to him enough, Chen Jie will not hesitate to train them. It can be said that as long as Chen Jie can become prosperous, they will all benefit from it.
After hearing what Chen Jie said, Zhou Chu asked, "Jiu Si, is there something you want to talk to me about this time?"
Chen Jie said: "It's like this, I asked someone to catch Huadie back. She knows the real reason why my adoptive father died. Tomorrow I will clear my name and avenge my adoptive father!"
Zhou Chu was stunned when he heard this, and then he said: "Hua Die? Isn't she dead?"
"die?"
Chen Jie was also stunned. The person was alive and well, so why did he die?
Zhou Chu said, "The day after you left, Nan Batian spread the news that Huadie committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the body was burned?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Fake your death."
After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "Well, now that you put it that way, it's really possible. By the way, if Huadie is caught, what can I do?"
"Help me find a place to lock her up so that no one can find her. I can't hide anyone in the several places I've been in in the city."
After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, "This is easy. Just hide in Shunfeng Escort Agency. It is absolutely safe here and no one will know."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, okay, I'll trouble you with this matter."
Zhou Chu heard this and said, "Then Jiu Si, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Chen Jie said: "The rest is not necessary. The main purpose of my coming here today is to tell you that I am back!"
Zhou Chu heard this and said, "Well, now that you're back, my brothers and I have a backbone."
Chen Jie said: "Okay, go back and recuperate first, you will be busy tomorrow."
Zhou Chu's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, I'm willing to be busy, hehe..."
"Okay, stop drinking. Be careful or your wife will beat you up when you get home."
Zhou Chu said: "She dares, my position in the family..."
"Miss, my uncle is drinking there!"
Just when Zhou Chu was about to brag, he saw the door of Shunfeng Escort Agency opened. Chen Jie immediately moved away upon seeing that. Zhou Chu froze in place. Soon after, he saw a little maid pointing at the small wine shop not far away.
Then a voice came from the door: "Mr. Zhou, I'm from Shudao Mountain, three..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chu immediately winked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Is your wife from Sichuan? Master Sun, it seems not?"
Zhou Chu said: "My mother-in-law is from Shuzhong, my wife follows her."
"two!"
At this time, a voice came out from the house again. Zhou Chu ran over and said, "Here I come~"
Looking at Zhou Chu's cheerful steps, Chen Jie felt that he seemed quite happy.
Chen Jie smiled and shook his head, it was time to do something big.
