The Fourth Financial Crisis

After signing the contract, the Lin Musen brothers officially joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce as worshipers. When Yang Lu approached Han Fulai and asked him to forge the identities of the two wanted criminals in Borneo, Han Fulai did not show any doubt.

This is not to say that Han Fulai was careless in his work.

For cultivators with no background, not having an identity and household registration is indeed a big problem. In a city with strict management like Tianshu City, cultivators with black households cannot even enter the city gate. However, if they have the endorsement of local powerful forces, None of this matters anymore.

In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, there are many cases where masters of cultivators from the big sects are invited to serve as offerings to the cultivation chamber of commerce. After all, not all cultivators know how to manage and operate. Ordinary cultivators from the sect of the world know almost nothing except fighting. For this kind of guy who has zero capital except for combat effectiveness, going to the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce to serve as a shou has become the only way to make extra money.

Although killing people to seize treasures is not mainstream in the Kyushu cultivation world, incidents of passionate killings are not uncommon. After all, any mortal driver on earth can suffer from road rage just by driving, let alone a cultivator with great power. Although the vast majority of passionate killings The murderer will feel regret after seeing his merits plummeting, but when his emotions are high, no one can care so much.

In order to prevent themselves from becoming victims of passionate killings, the Cultivation Chamber of Commerce is also happy to hire some experts to protect its employees, especially Yang Lu, a big boss who is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining but is in charge of a large chamber of commerce in Haiya City. I need someone to protect me.

Nowadays, the only combat power that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce can bring to bear is Butler Zhou, who is in the Dzogchen Realm of Foundation Establishment. However, Butler Zhou and President Li Qingyang had an agreement that they would only protect Li Qingning. Therefore, Yang Lu is usually in a state of streaking with combat power.

This is why Yang Lu always chooses to stay at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce headquarters when he has nothing to do. If he runs out alone and gets slapped, he will have no place to reason. The killer Li Wen of Heyuge back then is a lesson learned from the past.

And as the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's stalls get bigger and bigger, his enemies will not just be white-glove chambers of commerce like the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, which are purely composed of mortals. Killing a fourth-level Qi Refining monk can paralyze a large chamber of commerce. , many competitors who are unhappy with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce know how to choose.

Although worshiping (shou) is a common position in Cultivation Chamber of Commerce, most sects have strict restrictions on disciples working part-time. After all, Cultivation sects are also worried that if all disciples go to work part-time, the sect's normal performance will be affected. There will be trouble in operation.

In addition, disciples working as thugs for other Cultivation Chamber of Commerce will also bring unnecessary diplomatic disputes to the sect. Therefore, if a cultivator wants to become a worshiper of a Cultivation Chamber of Commerce, in most cases, he must first report to the organization to which he belongs. The sect reports.

For example, Lu Anping, the worshiper of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, had reported to the Wuliang Sword Sect in advance before taking up the role of worshiper.

Although everyone knows that Lu Anping is using the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce as a white glove, as long as the formal process is completed and no one in the sect gives him any trouble at the time, the operation is legal. Even if Lu Anping is later caught, this The position enshrined by the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce did not become one of his crimes.

But before Lu Anping became the special trade representative of Wuliangjian sent to Haiya City, he was already a high-ranking inner sect deacon of Wuliangjian's branch, so everyone was willing to give him face. It would be a bit troublesome for ordinary disciples to work part-time in the Chamber of Commerce, especially if some greedy guys want to hold several part-time jobs at the same time.

Therefore, the world of cultivation has produced many anonymous worshippers who do not want to be named, that is, illegal part-timers who have not reported to the sect. Considering that many cultivators of the Suspension sect stay in seclusion for several years and spend part of their time doing illegal work, the law enforcement hall of the sect cannot even detect them.

When Yang Lu introduced the masked Lin Musen to Han Fulai, Han Fulai immediately regarded the half-step foundation-building monk who did not want to reveal his real name as an anonymous thug hired by Yang Lu, and even joked that Yang Lu only Iron Rooster was finally willing to hire a bodyguard.

His only question was why Yang Lu didn't choose the Qingning Chamber of Commerce from among the Haiya monks.

Yang Lu did not answer the question directly, but just hinted in a subtle way that the factions within the Haiya Sect were too complicated. Han Fulai, who understood it well, thought that Yang Lu was worried that the three imperial families of the Haiya Sect would add sand to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, so he He smiled and did not go any further into this embarrassing topic for both parties.

But secretly, Han Fulai had already identified Lin Musen as Li Qingyang's man. After all, Yang Lu didn't even trust the disciples of the Haiya Sect, but he trusted this guy who didn't even want to reveal his name. Besides being Li Qingyang's man, is there any other possibility? ?

So Han Fulai quickly helped Lin Musen forge the identity of a disciple of the Huaishan Sect in Nanman State without even thinking about it.

As the overseas partners of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, the Haiya Sect and the Huaishan Sect have already had similar in-depth cooperation. Even if the idle Zhongzhou monks really went to Nanman State to investigate Lin Musen’s identity, the Huaishan Sect would not Will help cover up, unless someone can persuade Wanhua Valley, the overlord of Nanman State, to launch a special investigation against Lin Musen, otherwise his identity will basically be undetectable, and the person who can persuade Wanhua Valley to come forward will have no idea. The meeting will target the worship of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

Judging from Han Fulai's familiar appearance, this was definitely not the first time he had done something similar. Considering that it was Li Qingning who asked him to help solve Yang Lu and Murong's household registration issues, Yang Lu was not surprised at all.

After receiving double endorsement from the Haiya Sect and the Huaishan Sect, the identities of the Lin Musen brothers changed from wanted criminals in Borneo to monks from Nanman State who followed the caravan to work in Zhongzhou.

Not long after Yang Lu recruited the Lin Musen brothers, news came from the headquarters of the Infinite Sword Sect.

Lin Jianxing has issued an imperial order from the head to dispatch inspection teams to more than a dozen pilot cities for social security reform in Zhongzhou. The team is led by the deacon of the inner sect of the Wuliang Sword sect, who is directly under the head of Wuliang Sword Sect, to supervise the reform progress of each pilot city. .

Liu Hanxing, as the vice president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank and the general coordinator of the social security system reform in Zhongzhou, is preparing to personally go to Haiya City, a key reform city, to hand over work to the local overlord Haiya Faction.

In fact, according to Lin Jianxing's plan, the reform should be officially launched as soon as the overseas battlefield ended. However, for some unknown reason, Liu Hanxing delayed his departure for more than half a month. According to rumors, this was probably because of law enforcement. The church could not recommend a suitable person to take over Lu Anping's position as Wuliangjian's special representative stationed in Haiya City.

Considering that the Wuliang Sword Sect itself is short of manpower, and that both Qiu Longbo and Lin Jianxing are monks from the Transcendental Sect, and the construction of their talent echelon is very imperfect, the credibility of this statement is quite high.

After all, all the inner disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect in the foundation-building period have important appointments. It is not easy for Lin Jianxing to recruit more than a dozen inner-sect deacons in the foundation-building period. He wants to find another inner-sect deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall who meets the standards of loyalty and ability. It is indeed difficult to come to Haiya City to cooperate with the pilot work of Zhongzhou's social security system reform.

The situation in Haiya City is complicated. If there are no other forces to cooperate, it will be difficult for the inner deacons led by the reform inspection team to crack this hard nut.

Now Liu Hanxing finally handed over the name card to Jiang Hua'an, the lord of Haiya City, as expected, which shows that he should have found a suitable candidate, and his choice to visit Haiya City in person has a strong symbolic meaning.

You must know that Liu Hanxing himself is a very talented Jindan monk, and his training time is very tight.

This time, more than ten cities in Zhongzhou were conducting reform pilots at the same time, but he chose Haiya City to hand over the work. It can be said that he has a strong sense of supervising the war.

Although he can only stay in Haiya City for a few days before returning to the headquarters of the Wuliang Sword Sect to take charge of the work, the rest of the work will be left to the reform inspection team and the newly appointed special trade representative of the Wuliang Sword Sect stationed in Haiya City. This gesture in itself fully reflects the importance he attaches to the pilot work in Haiya City.

As the imperial envoy of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Liu Hanxing came to Haiya City in person to take over the work. The leading figures of the host Haiya Sect, as well as celebrities in the cultivation world of Haiya City, would definitely come out to pick him up.

Not only Haiya City attaches great importance to this matter, but even Tianshu City, Luanshi City, and Xuanji City, which are close to Haiya City, have each sent elders of their own sects to come to get close to each other. For example, representatives from Tianshu City, Huan An, the new elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Shanying Sect, and even Fang Jiancai, the deacon of the Merit Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect, came to Haiya City in person for the first time.

From the reception lineup, we can see the pomp of Liu Hanxing, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect!

As an important member of the cultivation world in Haiya City, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will definitely send someone to attend the reception banquet.

Even if Li Qingning doesn't like public social situations, this kind of basic scene work cannot be avoided, especially since her great-great-grandfather Li Qingyang has passed away, and she has no capital to continue to act like a eldest lady, so she can only make a miserable face. , was forcefully dragged out of his office by Yang Lu.

However, Li Qingning's expression of reluctance was more like attending Liu Hanxing's memorial service than attending Liu Hanxing's wedding party. Fortunately, she was pretty enough, even if she looked like a kitten. Everyone just thought it was pleasing to the eye. If a guy with less good looks behaved like this, he would probably be beaten out with a stick on the spot.

This may be the benefit of good looks!

Although Jiang Hua'an and Liu Hanxing both wanted to strangle each other to death, both parties were respectable people with high positions, and they still had to do enough superficial work. In order to find a suitable location for the reception banquet, the big guys in Haiya City were also very careful. It took some thought. After research by the senior officials of the Haiya Sect, Jiang Hua'an finally locked the location of the reception banquet at a very large public house not far from the city lord's palace and adjacent to Pinghai Avenue.

It stands to reason that Pinghai Avenue is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the entire Haiya City. Apart from the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, there are almost no free large houses that can hold high-standard receptions.

But the house chosen by the Haiya Sect was unusual.

This place is the original location of the headquarters of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, but after the Zhu Family property was confiscated, this place became the property of the Haiya Sect.

Jiang Hua'an chose such a place deliberately to give Liu Hanxing a show of strength.

After all, Liu Hanxing planned to use the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce as a knife to open up the situation. Everyone knew about this, and Haiya City used the former Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce headquarters to entertain Liu Hanxing. It looked like a grand welcome, but in fact, he was completely deliberately disgusting the other party!

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this disgusting method.

After all, when Liu Hanxing protected the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce, he also used the high-sounding reason of "protecting witnesses." Liu Hanxing had no explicit relationship with the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce.

If Liu Hanxing was furious because Haiya held a reception banquet at the original site of the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't that be equivalent to admitting that he was bending the law for personal gain by shielding the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce?

Just the location of this reception banquet made the meeting between the two parties full of tension even before it started.

As the protagonist of the Jie Feng Banquet, Liu Hanxing was definitely the last one to arrive. The other guests attending the Jie Feng Banquet had been waiting at the venue early. Moreover, in order to show their superficial respect for Liu Hanxing, the three giants of the Sea Cliff Department also rarely showed their respect for Liu Hanxing. chose to appear on the same stage.

Seeing Han Xinhe, Su Yuanfeng, and Jiang Hua'an talking and laughing happily, the guests who came to the banquet knew that this was probably Haiya's message to everyone:

In the face of foreign enemies, the Haiya family will never fight among themselves!

Many people who suspected that there was a capitulation faction within the Haiya Clan now took all their reassurance.

The senior leaders of the Haiya Department obviously also knew the importance of expectation management. Faced with the reforms pushed by the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, they immediately thought of stepping in to stabilize the morale of the military and prevent the Haiya Department from being in chaos.

Of course, it's not just the three giants of the Haiya family who seldom appear in public.

In the world of Jiuzhou cultivation, the vast majority of cultivators spend 80% to 90% of their lifespan practicing in seclusion. This means that many three to four hundred year old Golden Core monks have a life experience equivalent to that of fifty or sixty year olds on earth. People, this also led to the fact that the leaders of the major cultivation forces in the southeastern coastal areas of Zhongzhou rarely had the opportunity to gather together. Sometimes I just break out of seclusion, but you end up in seclusion again. After you finally end the seclusion, he starts to close the door and thank guests again...

Taking advantage of this ultra-high-profile reception banquet to receive the vice president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, the leading figures of the major cultivation forces finally gathered together. Seeing that the protagonist of the banquet, Liu Hanxing, had not yet arrived, everyone began to chat spontaneously in twos and threes. .

As a rising business star in Haiya City, and accompanied by a beautiful lady from a well-known cultivation family in Kyushu, Yang Lu was also an important guest at this banquet. There was an endless stream of prominent figures who exchanged greetings, including The three giants in Haiya City, Chen Ping, the heir to the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, Xi Ziang, the head of the reporting team of Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly, Huan An, the elder of the Mountain Eagle Sect, Qu Jing, a member of the Hanguang Sword Investigation Team, and Xu Yannan from the Lingshi Reserve Bank... …

Since there were so many bigwigs in the cultivation world who came to Yang Lu to blend in, often as soon as Yang Lu sent out a wave of distinguished guests, another wave of distinguished guests came up to greet them, and ordinary monks in the foundation-building period had no chance to interrupt.

If they didn’t know that this meeting was to welcome Liu Hanxing, others might think that Yang Lu was the protagonist!

But after sending away a few guests, Yang Lu's eyes were quickly attracted by a beautiful female monk in palace attire. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tian Beixi? Don't you stay in Huoyun?" Zhou, why did you suddenly come to Haiya City?
