Chapter 177 The Four Butlers (Please subscribe)

It was autumn, and the drizzle was falling.

The entire Nan'an County was shrouded in white mist, and the streets and alleys that used to be bustling and lively became deserted.

Gu Dian Garden is the largest theater in the city. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it closes for less than three days, and almost every show is full. The tickets for the stands are never worried about selling. It is the most frequented place for the dignitaries in this world who lack entertainment.

However, today, the owner of Gu Dian Garden, under great pressure, pushed away all the guests, including the guests who had already made reservations, and emptied the venue, leaving only the servants who were called to listen to the music.

There is actually no difference between a theater and a troupe in essence, except that a theater has a fixed performance venue. People from all over the country can only buy tickets at a special theater if they want to listen to the music.

The troupe is different. They travel all over the country, from the kings and nobles to the common people. As long as they have money and channels, they can be invited to perform at designated occasions.

It is hard to say which one is better, but it is undoubted that the troupe is more tired in the wind and rain. Therefore, for the people in the troupe, being able to perform in a fixed theater is the best thing.

Gu Dian Garden is the most famous place in Nan'an County. There are nine troupes that perform regularly, and there are six famous actors in Jizhou alone, which shows its strength.

And the person who can make such a powerful Gu Dian Garden clear the venue at the risk of losing customers is naturally not a simple one. Even if it is now in decline, it still has the strength that the owner of Gu Dian Garden cannot refuse.

Gu Dian Garden is painted in gray-brown, and outside the extremely heavy gate, at this time in the misty drizzle, there are several yellow-clothed men with sharp weapons hanging from their waists and anxious eyes, looking towards the long street from time to time, hoping again and again, and disappointed again and again.

"Look, someone is coming."

One of the long-faced men had sharp eyes and saw a huge black shadow approaching in the white mist, with disorderly steps. He knew that it must be the person his master had arranged to meet, so he quickly told the people next to him to prepare to greet him.

In front of the gate of the Ancient Dian Garden, the strong sedan bearers were moving steadily and quickly in the drizzle and cool breeze.

Meng Zhao sat in the red-topped sedan in the middle without any bumps.

He closed his eyes slightly, fiddled with the jade Buddhist beads with his fingers, and murmured something in a low voice. Occasionally, you could hear words like "God guards Kun Palace, fire turns into Qi... Concentrate on Qian Ding, Yang Qi gradually accumulates and becomes thicker, crystal clear and shining, and clear from top to bottom." It was obvious that he was studying the martial arts of the mind.

A Vajra Bodhi seed strung with a red thread on his chest exuded a cool gas that made people's minds more clear. It kept moving back and forth between his chest and the Bodhi seed, making his thoughts flash like lightning, and his aura shone, as if he was several times smarter.

It must be said that with the Vajra Bodhi seeds, he was indeed assisted by God in his study of martial arts. In the past, he only had a vague understanding of some things, but now he can learn almost everything by thinking carefully and understanding.

When the sedan chair landed, the long and thick curtain in front of the sedan door was lifted, bringing a gust of cold wind, which made his mind return to reality from the world of martial arts.

"Fourth Master, we have arrived at the Ancient Dian Garden."

Meng Zhao opened his eyes and saw a slightly mediocre face. The eyebrows, nose, and lips all looked so mediocre. When combined together, they were even more mediocre.

Note that this is completely different from the mediocre meaning of Louis Koo. There is really nothing surprising about it.

In a crowd of people, it is definitely the least noticed one.

However, facing this man, Meng Zhao did not dare to be negligent. He quickly bent over and walked out of the sedan door, and said with concern, "Uncle Yang, you can just ask the servants to notify me. How dare you trouble yourself to come? It's really embarrassing for Meng Zhao." As soon as he walked out of the sedan, the man called Uncle Yang opened a painted colorful oil-paper umbrella and placed it on Meng Zhao's head to prevent him from getting wet in the rain. At the same time, he said, "The fourth young master is in a serious condition. The owner asked me to protect the fourth young master to prevent Hu Baiwan from jumping off the wall. I dare not neglect him. When you go in later, the fourth young master had better not drink the tea and snacks inside to avoid being tricked." Meng Zhao nodded, and did not have the slightest impatience because of this person's preaching. Instead, he showed a humble attitude, "I understand, Uncle Yang, don't worry." Those who can be called uncle by Meng Zhao are naturally not simple people, and those who have such status in the Meng family are rare. As mentioned before, the Meng family has four housekeepers, the second housekeeper Wang Tianlei, the third housekeeper Liu Qiankun, both of whom are powerful core figures. Yang Jiu is the last housekeeper of the Meng family.

On the surface, he is the manager of two small chambers of commerce under the Meng family. He has more civil positions than military positions, and his presence is weak. He is far less powerful than Wang Tianlei and Liu Qiankun, who have a large number of people under their command, which makes people fear him.

However, in fact, he is the leader of the famous killer organization Meteor in Jizhou.

Yes, in addition to martial arts halls, escort agencies, large and small gangs and other armed forces, the Meng family has also established and cultivated a violent organization dedicated to killing people for profit, and it has been established for nearly a hundred years. Yang Jiu is the helmsman of the latest Meteor.

When Meng Zhao first learned about this, he was dizzy.

In terms of military power, the Meng family really has a firm grasp.

As General Jianwu, Meng Jizu can directly mobilize 40,000 elite troops from the three northern camps of Jizhou. The Meng family has its own martial arts schools, escort agencies, and gang armed forces, which are spread all over Jizhou, with countless manpower. This is enough to make people fearful, but now there is a killer organization that has been established for hundreds of years, with a golden signboard. I really don’t know what the ancestors of the Meng family thought.

If one day it is revealed that the Meng family has a deep connection with a certain evil sect, Meng Zhao will probably not be surprised.

Let’s talk about shooting stars.

All killer organizations are notorious. Customers pay, and they are responsible for killing people. Regardless of good or evil, good or bad, status and background, everything comes first only for money.

Naturally, the name of Meteor is the same. In Jizhou, it stands side by side with Dark Sun and Lone Wolf. It is the existence that the nobles hate, fear, yearn for and look forward to the most.

It is said that as long as enough money is given, the three major killer organizations will dare to send people to assassinate even masters.

Of course, in today's era, even if you search the entire Yong Dynasty, you can't find anyone who can afford such a price.

To be able to become the leader of the killer organization Meteor and help the Meng family take charge of such an important violent organization, there is no doubt about Yang Jiu's ability and loyalty.

Not many people know his identity.

In the entire Meng family, only Meng Jizu, Meng Hongdao, and Meng Zhao knew about it. Maybe the other butlers had some guesses, but they were just guesses.

It can also be seen from this that Meng Jizu and Meng Hongdao have consciously cultivated Meng Zhao, and his position will be indispensable in the core level of the Meng family in the future.

However, Meng Zhao wanted more than that, so when faced with the leader of a killer organization who appeared harmless to humans and animals but was actually full of blood, although he did not deliberately try to please him, he always showed his best side.

There is a saying that goes well, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.

Although the future head of the Meng family is decided by the elders, the opinions and tendencies of these core senior leaders also have a considerable influence.
