Buying the heaven and earth is an insignificant thing for Li Qingcheng, only costing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. This brothel is located in the thoroughfare of the world, with a prosperous business and making money every day, which is also a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money.

The real boss of the Heavenly World is surnamed Zhou and named Yunshan. He is extremely powerful in Jiujiang City, but it is a world of difference compared to the Li family in Jinling. When Zhou Yunshan heard Li Qingcheng say that he wanted to buy the Heavenly World, he almost didn't believe his ears.

The Li family in Jinling has never been involved in brothel casino business. If he can take this opportunity to get in touch with the Li family in Jinling, it would be an opportunity to look for lanterns. Not to mention selling them, even if he gave the heaven and earth to Li Qingcheng, he would never frown.

As for Zhao Santai, who made his fortune by making his relationship with the Jiangnan Salt Transportation Department, he was just a nouveau riche, which made Li San Gong angry. Zhou Yunshan sent a few mates to put the knife around his neck and invited him out of heaven and earth very "politely".

After leaving the heaven and earth, Li Jinping saw that it was too late and was afraid that it would be too late to go back, so he would be scolded by Li Dazhun, so he arranged to go back.

When he returned to the dock, the guy named Xiao Wu had already been waiting at the bow of the ship and said anxiously, "Miss Jin Ping, you are finally back."

Seeing Xiao Wu's nose and face were swollen and his clothes were torn, Li Jinping was shocked and asked, "What happened? Where is my grandfather?"

Xiao Wu cried and said, "Boss Li was detained by Mr. Zhang San."

Li Jinping was in chaos, and Li Qingcheng stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Master, don't be afraid of us."

Xiao Jinyan asked Xiao Wu, "What's going on? Let's start over."

It turned out that after the ship was docked, Li Dazhun and his partner Xiaowu went to find Zhang Jinshui, the shipping boss at Jiujiang Wharf, to discuss the action of Su Jin for the hundred horses.

The cargo of foreign ships is high and far away. Some goods travel thousands of miles to come here. Once they are turned around, they will be several times the profit. However, unless there is a huge background or official force, people will collect the goods from small vendors. Otherwise, even if they take action, they will be inseparable from this dock.

As the saying goes, there are rules for the industry. Zhang Jinshui and Zhang Sanye control all the people who sell goods at Jiujiang Wharf, especially salt, tea, iron and silk and other controlled goods. He had already bribed the government and once he reselled it, he had a legal identity.

Li Dajun walked on the Xichuan line all year round and had many years of friendship with Zhang Jinshui. When the two came to see Su Jin this time, Zhang Jinshui was very enthusiastic. He redeemed the silver on the spot at the price of 5000 yuan per horse and held a banquet. Li Dajun asked him to count the goods, but Zhang Jinshui said that it was unnecessary to trade for many years.

Who had just finished halfway through the cooking wine and food? Someone from Master Zhang San reported to him that there was something wrong with the hundred-pin Su Jin. Everyone went over and saw that the hundred-pin Su Jin had been dropped and replaced with some linen.

Xiao Wu said: "I hired a carriage here this morning. When I moved it down from the boat, I specially counted it. There were no one, and I never left the carriage along the way. I would never be thrown away by someone in the middle of the journey."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Didn't you count it in person?"

"Zhang San said no, and it was very pleasant to pay, so we didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that they would use this trick? At this point, Boss Li returned the money to Zhang San, saying that we would admit defeat in this deal, but Zhang San was unyielding, saying that he had been in Jiujiang Wharf for more than ten years and the money was small, but we broke this rule and insisted on giving it an explanation."

Li Qingcheng also asked, "What conditions did he put forward?"

Xiao Wu scratched his head, "That's not. He just locked Boss Li and said he would send someone to check this matter carefully. Is the problem here or they?"

When Zhao Langjiang heard this, he said, "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is in Pei Gong."

Li Jinping was a little confused, "What does it mean?"

Xiao Jinyan explained, "They detained Boss Li, so the ship naturally could not set off as planned. Their purpose was to drag the ship."

Xu Gongfeng had told them that when they set off from Suzhou, someone had set their sights on the ship, but they had not taken action for a long time.

Then there are only two reasons. One is that they lacked manpower and could not deal with Xu Gongfeng on the ship. They could only delay time and wait for the people to get it; the other is that they were not sure, so they started with Li Dazhun first, threw a stone to ask for directions, and checked the reaction on the ship.

If you guessed correctly, Zhang Jinshui is just a chess piece, and there is another person behind the scenes.

Li Jinping was confused, "What should we do? You can't watch grandpa be bullied by them, right?"

Li Qingcheng said, "Master, let us leave this matter to the three of us. You should take a break first. If you can't see the old man tomorrow morning, you can use the twelfth knife to clean up the portal."

Li Jinping was about to speak, but Li Qingcheng stepped forward to seal her acupoint and told Xiao Wu, "Please guard her and don't let her do anything randomly."

Xiao Jinyan also reminded: "Don't let Guanshi Qi and Xu Chongfeng know about this matter, after all, it's our own business."

...

Jiujiang City, Shanshui Hall.

In the lobby, Zhang Jinshui stood in front of an old man in gray with a respectful expression. The old man in gray had a deep face and sat in the chair of the Grand Master without moving.

Behind him was a man and a woman.

The man dressed as a butcher, with a scar on his face and two knives on his waist, one long and one short, one slaughtered pigs and the other slaughtered people.

The woman is a half-old Xu girl, beautiful and beautiful. She is wearing a long skirt and holding a Persian cat in her arms.

These two are the two great veners of the Divine Divine Sect, the man Fan Xiaoxing, who was nicknamed Scarface Butcher, the woman Tu Qianjiao, and the man nicknamed Jade-faced Cat.

The old man in gray was Xu Xu, a military advisor of the Divine Divine Cult, and his right-hand assistant to the leader of the Divine Divine Cult. His martial arts skills are not the highest in the Divine Divine Cult, but in terms of wisdom, they are superior. His status in the sect is second only to the leader of the Eastern Cult and the saint Dongfang Nuannuan.

Jiujiang City Shanshui Hall is a branch of the Light God Cult. It is precisely because of the secret support of the Light God Cult that Zhang Jinshui has been able to smooth sailing in the world over the years and control the water transportation business of Jiujiang Wharf.

Zhang Jinshui said respectfully, "Mr. Xu, his subordinates have interrogated Li Dazhun. The old guy insisted that there were only some iron on the ship and didn't know anything else. Now he can't stand the beating and has fainted."

Military Commander Xu looked at Zhang Jinshui up and down, and saw Zhang Jinshui felt guilty, "How can you, I can't bear to leave your business on the dock?"

Zhang Jinshui thrust and knelt down on the ground, "Everything under his subordinates is given by the leader and military advisor. Not to mention Li Dazhun, even if you asked me to capture the entire freight terminal, my subordinates would never hesitate."

Military Commander Xu smiled coldly, "It's good to know."

The scarfaced butcher said, "Military advisor, the ship is parked outside the city anyway. Let's take the people to kill them while the wind is strong tonight, intercepting and killing them together. It was burned, and the gods did not know it, and they made a great contribution. Why not do it?"

The jade-faced cat Tu Qianjiao also smiled and said, "That's what my subordinates meant." She stroked the Persian cat with her hand and came to Xu Xu, "A hundred-sword door is not worthy of evidence."

Xu Xu was allergic to cats and covered his nose, "Let the cat stay away from me."

Tu Qianjiao was stunned, and his subordinates exerted a little force. He heard the cat screaming, his body was covered in blood, and he died on the spot. His cruel methods made Zhang Jinshui feel chill all over.

Xu Xucai said: "The Baidao Gate is not worthy of evidence, but the offering named Xu on the boat is not an easy person."

The jade-faced cat asked, "Who is the one named Xu? What makes the military advisor so afraid?"

Xu Xu said, "The first swordsman in the northern border that year, Xu Zhihao, the Great Zhou Emperor, was the one who was the one who was the one who was guarding the Great Zhou emperor."

Both of them had heard of Xu Zhihao's name, and they were once famous in the northern border. They suddenly disappeared twenty years ago. Unexpectedly, they came to the Central Plains and couldn't help but say: "With his identity, how could he be a third-rate sect as a worshiper?"

"When Xu Zhihao fell in love with a woman in the Central Plains, and was not tolerated by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Zhou Emperor ordered the killing of the woman. Xu Zhihao was furious and defected to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and killed seventeen masters. The Northern Zhou Emperor was furious about this and sent people to chase Xu Zhihao many times. Xu Zhihao was discouraged and hid in the Baidao Sect. If it weren't for the Chijing Xuantie this time, no one would know that the first swordsman in the Northern Xinjiang that year would still live in the world."

"Then what does he have to do with Baidao Sect?"

"That woman is the sister of the head of Baidao Sect now."

Although the scarfaced butcher and the jade-faced cat are the ones who kill without blinking, they are not sure about facing Xu Zhihao.

"What do we do next?"

Xu Junshi said lightly, "Wait. Now the saint and the wine-crazy Ren Pengju are on the road and will arrive in Jiujiang within a few days. As long as the ship does not leave Jiujiang, when we all arrive, it will be the day to seize the Red Essence and Black Iron."

Some subordinates came down to report, "San Master, three young people came outside and said they wanted to see San Master!"

Zhang Jinshui was also a little puzzled, "Young man?"

"That's right, they claimed to be Li Dazhun's friend and came to discuss the matter with the third master."

Zhang Jinshui said unhappily, "Didn't you see any guests here? I asked them to go back wherever they come."

Junshi Xu smiled and said, "The real master is here."

The jade-faced cat said in a delicate voice, "I'll meet them."

"Let Zhang Jinshui go with you too."

Zhang Jinshui and Tu Qianjiao came to the front hall and saw Xiao, Li and Zhao dressed in boatman, holding a wooden knife in their hands, and felt contemptuous in their hearts.

"Who is coming?"

Xiao Jinyan bowed and asked, "Is Zhang Jinshui and Zhang San, who is known as Zhang Dasheng?"

“That’s right.”

"We three brothers are the guys on Boss Li's boat. Today you detained Boss Li, we are here with you..."

Zhang Jinshui sneered, "I want someone?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "No, it's asking for salary."

"Check for salary?"

"Yes. Boss Li hired three of us to travel west to Sichuan. He owed us our salary. You deducted him. We had no choice but to come to you to ask for it!"

Zhang Jinshui seemed to hear a huge joke and laughed loudly, causing dust to fall on the beams.

Li Qingcheng frowned and said, "It's time for you to clean up here. Just fighting and killing, you don't even hire a sweeping person. You're really stingy."

Zhang Jinshui laughed in his heart. In Jiujiang City, I have always asked others for money. These three ignorant boys actually cheated me. He asked, "How much does Li Dazhun owe you?"

Xiao Jinyan stretched out three fingers, "Thirty."

"Thirty taels?"

"No, 300,000 taels!"

Zhang Jinshui smiled and said, "Oh?"

Xiao Jinyan said seriously: "We also know that 300,000 taels are not a small amount, and we are not unreasonable people. If the Third Master cannot collect so much cash at the moment, we can give you two days. After two days, we will not be so easy to talk to."

Zhang Jinshui cursed angrily: "We are Shanshui Hall. Do you think we are a charity hall? Or 300,000 taels? There are thirty copper plates here, so you can take them if you want them!"

With a raised hand, thirty copper plates were thrown to the ground.

Xiao Jinyan and Zhao Langjiang leaned over, picked them up one by one, and said, "It's still 299,999 taels and 7 cents apart."

"What if I don't give it?"

"Then we will return Boss Li to us. There are faults and debts. We will ask him to go."

"Old man Li used fake Su Jin to lie to me. If I let the person go so easily, how could you let Zhang Jinshui get stuck in Jiujiang City?"

Li Qingcheng said: "If you can't keep going, then don't be stubborn."
