Jin Peng took out a small package and said, "Sir, this is a reward from the headquarters.
Last time, you broke into the Red Sea gang's encampment and brought honor to the Giant Whale. The gang leader gave you ten Blood Yang Pills. "
As he spoke, he placed the package in front of Zhou Fu.
"Yesterday, a messenger from the headquarters came and I told him that you were in seclusion. Therefore, the messenger left the package in the Elysium."
The Whale Gang's reward was a small matter in Zhou Fu's eyes. He didn't need to pay too much attention to it. Even though Xing Feng had said that the Blood Yang Pill was a good thing, money was Zhou Fu's biggest weakness right now.
He asked, "Why did the three of you come here today?"
"Sir," Jin Peng said, "In the past three days, the three of us secretly met with the thirty-six constables on the list and made arrangements according to your instructions."
"We arranged for two constables and twenty constables to keep an eye on the Jin Family.
As for Caretaker Shi at the docks, a constable led ten constables to keep an eye on him. "
At this point, Jin Peng turned to look at Chen Guhong and Huang Feng, then said, "The three of us discussed and decided that the constables would be paid a hundred taels of silver per month while the constables would be paid twenty taels of silver per month."
"Is there such a big difference?" Zhou Fu was surprised.
The difference between the two was actually five times!
"Sir," Chen Guhong said, "The hundred taels we paid to the constables is ten times their annual income.
As for the constables, the three of us originally agreed on fifty taels of silver per month. "
"However, one of the constables found me in private and said that we gave them too much. This would make it difficult for them to manage these people in the future.
Therefore, we discussed again and decided on twenty taels of silver per month. "
Zhou Fu had never been good at grasping the human heart. There were too many twists and turns in it, so he didn't want to waste his time in this aspect.
"Alright, just do as you see fit.
Also, don't forget about the distribution of power at the docks. "
"Sir, this matter has been settled."
"It's settled?
So fast? "
This time, Zhou Fu was really shocked by the efficiency of the three people.
Jin Peng took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Zhou Fu. "The three of us don't dare to claim credit for this. These were all collected by the constables."
After hearing Jin Peng's words, Zhou Fu finally reacted. As the 'eyes' of the government, if these constables and constables couldn't even do such a simple thing, then there would really be something wrong.
"Have you seen all of these?" Zhou Fu casually flipped through the list.
"Yes, all three of us have seen it."
"Tell me about it."
Zhou Fu was too lazy to look at these things, nor did he want to remember them.
And if he didn't want to do something, he would naturally leave it to his subordinates.
"Yes," Chen Guhong said, "The small powers at the docks are basically some small merchants and some gangsters. There are a total of twenty-two of them. They run restaurants, grocery stores, and some small grain stores."
"The bigger powers are martial arts schools, small gangs, or a few merchants working together. There are a total of thirty-one of them. Their main business is restaurants, small casinos, restaurants, medicine stores, and so on. My Chen family and Huang Jia are among them."
"Finally, there are those like the Jin family. Their business covers all aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. There are also human trafficking, large casinos, carriage companies, and so on.
There are a total of twelve of them.
Sir, the Giant Whale and the Red Sea gang are among them. "
Zhou Fu was a little surprised.
He wasn't surprised that the Giant Whale was among them, but it was a little ridiculous that the Jin family was among them.
"How can the Jin family be compared to the Giant Whale?"
Huang Feng explained, "Sir, the Jin family is the leader of the medicine merchants in Ning 'an East City.
Back then, they had five great alchemists in their hands. "
Zhou Fu was even more puzzled. "They rely on the five alchemists to survive?"
"Sir, it's not the Jin family that's powerful. It's the combined power of all the medicine merchants in Ning 'an City."
"They also have an existence like the Xing family behind them?"
Chen Guhong continued to explain, "No, there aren't many existences like the Giant Whale and the Red Sea gang.
Let's put it this way. The Giant Whale doesn't care about the Jin family's business. "
So that's how it is. Zhou Fu finally understood.
The Giant Whale and the Red Sea gang were equivalent to elephants. The Jin family's business was like a pig with a bigger physique. They put green onions in their noses and put them here to pretend to be an elephant.
"Sir, what are we going to do next?"
Zhou Fu muttered to himself. His financial situation was really bad now. With the expenses of these constables, he estimated that he would be hard-pressed to make ends meet in another month.
"I'll give you guys ten days to find out the true situation of the five small powers and the Jin family.
Oh right, tell Duan Cheng to stop squatting outside the city and bring them back first. "
After hearing Zhou Fu's order, Chen Guhong and the other two looked at each other. They instantly had an idea.
"Yes!"
"Do you guys have anything else to do?"
After hearing Zhou Fu's meaning, the three of them left Zhou Fu's courtyard.
"Sigh … Time waits for no man …" Zhou Fu sighed. "When will I be able to practice martial arts in peace?"
Thinking back to his cultivation journey, it seemed like he had been rushing to catch up. There were many things that he hadn't had time to settle down, and he had been relying on an auxiliary technique to support him.
This was especially true after he had obtained the "Firefly" technique. This was the first time Zhou Fu had encountered a technique that an auxiliary technique couldn't recognize. This made him even more determined to comprehend the Dao on his own.
However, this kind of thinking had always been an extravagant hope.
"Forget it, I'll settle the matter at hand first. Then, I'll train those who are in the third stage of the Bone Forging Stage. I should be able to free up some time after that."
Zhou Fu thought so.
He stood up, walked to the training room, and put down the cover.
Sunlight shone through the courtyard on the second floor, making the room in the daytime feel like it was dusk.
"Auxiliary!"
Zhou Fu called out in his heart. The auxiliary interface appeared in the void in front of him.
At this time, his condition had already been restored to full, but he was still mentally exhausted.
However, this wasn't important now.
He wanted to increase his strength.
Zhou Fu understood that his strength was directly linked to money. If he could reach the Blood Changing Stage now, he could immediately bring people to flatten the so-called large powers. At that time, would there still be a shortage of money?
"Flying Immortal, give me …" Zhou Fu hesitated for a moment.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Level up the" Wisdom King Scripture "!"
"Ding!
"Wisdom King Scripture" level up successful! "
Whoosh!
Golden light flowed down from the top of Zhou Fu's head like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, his entire body was wrapped in golden light.
The Acalanatha Dharma in his sea of consciousness stood up. The lotus platform beneath him dissipated, and the fire ring behind his head shone brightly.
He raised his right hand high, and rays of golden light flowed towards the sword.
"Lin!"
An angry roar sounded.
The Acalanatha Dharma slashed down with his sword.
Zhou Fu suddenly opened his eyes. At this time, golden light occupied his eyes. His entire body was like a golden statue. He felt that his mind was impregnable.
A ball of scorching energy burst forth in his body, roasting his muscles and bones.
