Zhou Fu ignored Lie Jiu's agitated expression and said calmly, "Don't just stand there. Hurry up and write. After you're done, I still need to arrange for your treatment."
Lie Jiu stared at Zhou Fu, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He never thought that Zhou Fu would use such a shameless but useful method.
Looking at Zhou Fu's nonchalant expression, Lie Jiu nodded angrily. "Okay!
I'll write! "
He stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, grabbed a pen, and wrote an IOU on the paper.
With a few swipes, an IOU was written.
After Lie Jiu signed his name at the bottom, a small box filled with red ink paste was pushed in front of him.
"Of course." Zhou Fu looked as if it was only natural, which made Lie Jiu grit his teeth.
"Okay!
I'll do it. "
Lie Jiu dipped his thumb in the ink paste and pressed his handprint beside his name. As soon as he lifted his finger, the IOU was taken away by Zhou Fu.
On the other side, Lie Jiu was very obedient. He took a pen and paper and lowered his head to write.
After he finished writing, he followed Lie Jiu's method and pressed his handprint.
"If you do this, even if something happens, no one will believe you.
As long as we, Azure Prison, want to investigate, even if it's one tael of silver, we can find out, "Lie Jiu said to Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu smiled. "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. You're in Azure Prison and you don't want to mess with people. As long as they believe you, it's fine. What do you think?"
Lie Jiu's face was gloomy. He stared at Zhou Fu without saying a word.
Of course, he knew about this. Just as Zhou Fu said, he had many rivals in Azure Prison.
It could even be said that the top ten Lie Jiu were all rivals.
If Zhou Fu's IOU was exposed, the other nine people might hit him when he was down.
With the two IOUs in hand, Zhou Fu stood up and said, "Okay, now the misunderstanding has been cleared up.
As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. How about we be friends? "
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head.
Although Lie Jiu was extremely unwilling to accept Zhou Fu's suggestion, he still cupped his hands and said, "It would be my honor!"
"Hahahaha!
Let's go, I've already asked someone to prepare the food and wine. Come this way. "
After the meal, Zhou Fu let the two of them take a bath.
He called for a physician, applied medicinal wine on the two of them, massaged them, and changed them into new clothes.
By the time he was done, it was already evening.
"Mr. Zhou, here's the list of spies on the East Pier, as well as their contact codes."
With a trembling hand, Lie Jiu handed over several pieces of paper filled with names.
His eyes widened as he watched Zhou Fu take it.
At this moment, he actually heaved a sigh of relief and even felt a little refreshed.
Perhaps, this was depravity.
Zhou Fu held the list and looked at the densely packed words on it. He smiled and said, "I believe you've already checked. When have I, Zhou Fu, ever mistreated my own people? Don't worry, I'll treat this person well."
"If Mr. Zhou says so, then I'm relieved," Lie Jiu said.
He suddenly realized that Zhou Fu was too suitable to be an official. He was so good at saying things, and the key was that his expression didn't change when he said them.
Looking at Zhou Fu's young face, Lie Jiu could only sigh in his heart, 'The new generation is replacing the old.'
The two of them exchanged a few more words, and Zhou Fu asked someone to bring two sets of black robes for Lie Jiu and Lie Shiqi to wear. Then, he let them leave through the back door.
Zhou Fu returned to the house. Just as he sat down, he suddenly slapped his head. "I was so focused on the East Pier that I forgot to ask about White Light!"
After saying that, he suddenly wanted to find Lie Jiu and ask him about White Light.
After all, it was his first time seeing something that could restrain his Devilwhale Killing Fist.
After a day, Zhou Fu could already use the Devilwhale Killing Fist, but he still felt a little blocked.
"Young Master," Yuzhu walked in. "Huang Feng and Chen Guhong are here. They've already come three times today. They didn't disturb you when they saw that you had guests."
"Got it. Let them come in." Zhou Fu rubbed his forehead.
Ever since he recovered the energy of the Devilwhale Killing Fist, his forehead had been swollen and itchy.
He took a sip of the tea beside him. Huang Feng and Chen Guhong walked in.
"Greetings, Sir." The passers-by bowed to Zhou Fu.
"Have a seat." Zhou Fu pointed to a chair at the side.
"Yes."
The two of them walked to the side and sat down.
Huang Feng opened his mouth and said, "Sir, I've found some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate yesterday. There was indeed someone behind this.
However … the person who set the fire was a beggar. When we found him, he was already dead. "
Zhou Fu nodded. He wasn't surprised at all.
The enemy in the dark dared to attack Huang Jia. Naturally, they knew about the current situation of Huang Jia. They also knew that Zhou Fu was behind Huang Jia.
Since the enemy knew and still dared to attack, it meant that they were targeting Zhou Fu.
However, the enemy didn't attack Zhou Fu or Elysium. They must be afraid of Zhou Fu's strength or the Giant Whale behind Elysium.
Thinking about it carefully, it was probably those big and small forces at the docks or the Red Sea gang who were bored and wanted to find something to do.
Now that the beggar who set the fire had been silenced, Zhou Fu didn't plan to pursue the matter for the time being. He had more important things to do.
"Have you found that Steward Shi at the docks?" Zhou Fu looked at Huang Feng and asked.
"Sir, we've found this person. He's currently being held in Elysium's dungeon."
"What did you find out?"
Huang Feng and Chen Guhong looked at each other, then said, "This matter was handed over to Steward Jin. The two of us didn't ask anything."
"You guys …" Zhou Fu shook his head and smiled helplessly.
He knew that this was a matter between Elysium, Huang Jia, and Chen family. It was a competition, but also a kind of harmony.
They each had their own division of labor and were independent.
When something happened, they could cooperate with each other.
This kind of model was also a good thing for Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu took out the list he got from Lie Jiu and put it on the tea table between the two of them. He said, "This is the list of government spies. You two take a look here and write down the names of the constables. Then start to contact them."
Spies?
Or the government?
These words scared Huang Feng and Chen Guhong quite a bit.
Perhaps Zhou Fu didn't know, but as natives of Ning 'an East City, Huang Jia and Chen family knew about the government. They also knew how terrifying the power of the government was.
"Sir, this … is this true?"
Chen Guhong looked at the few pages on the table. He felt that his throat was a little dry and swallowed hard.
Looking at the extremely shocked expressions of the two, Zhou Fu smiled and said, "It shouldn't be fake. Take a look."
Chen Guhong raised his head. Huang Feng, who was sitting next to him, also raised his head at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, then lowered their heads and began to memorize the names on the list.
"You don't have to keep a close eye on the Jin family in the city. Let these people try and see the results."
The two people who were memorizing the names felt their hearts skip a beat. They were shocked and somewhat amused.
It was really incredible to let the government deal with the Jin family and help them seize territory.
