Chapter 18: Qingyun straight up and stretched his bow

The small sedan chair is a Jianghu routine, divided into two categories, one is to find support, and the other is to set up troubles.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about asking for support. When a new store opens, hire a bunch of people to queue up to buy, or hire someone to beat gongs and drums to deliver a plaque to express gratitude. These are all common tricks for asking for support. When Mr. Rong at the station said that anyone looking for a sedan lifter could contact him, he meant that he had professional sedan lifters.

To set up troubles is to prepare troubles and solutions. When you get to the end of the road, choose a target and throw the trouble away. When the target is in pain and unable to solve it, you can then help. Once you become famous, you will get good results.

This is the routine where anti-software companies first compile viruses to spread, and then update anti-virus software to kill the viruses.

As for the tricks of the charlatans, they are even more vicious.

When the charlatans arrive at a place, they first find a target and use means to make them fall ill in public, and the symptoms are obvious and severe, such as collision, loss of soul, upper body, etc., sudden onset, falling to the ground, convulsions, or madness. At this time, he came to help and cured the disease. Through word of mouth among onlookers, he slowly became famous.

However, this method often causes lifelong hidden dangers for the target person that cannot be recovered, so it has always been looked down upon.

Lao Cao obviously thought that Huang Mao's trouble was caused by me, so he came to talk to me.

This Jincheng is truly a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, full of surprises.

Even if this old Cao is not a man in the world, he must be familiar with the affairs of the world in Jincheng.

I was not in a hurry to explain and said, "Comrade Cao, let's talk in the room."

But Lao Cao waved his hand and said: "No, it's just a matter of two or three sentences. This is my office, and such a big case has just happened. If you want to open the business, just do it honestly. As long as you have the means, no matter what, I’m worried about not having a good reputation and business. If there’s trouble, I’ll drag you in to relax your muscles and bones!”

This is speaking directly as a public official. Firstly, it is to use power to suppress others, and secondly, it is to show that one is not a Jianghu person.

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and said, "Comrade Cao, you underestimate me. I have already prepared a big bow, how can I use a small sedan chair again?"

The so-called big bow is a famous routine compared to the small sedan lift.

It's just that the practice of opening and closing the bow widely will use the power of officials to promote one's reputation and spread the reputation as widely as possible in the shortest time, just like stretching the bow to shoot an arrow straight up into the blue clouds, so it is also called "building a ladder to the blue sky".

People who travel around the world to make a living are rarely involved in anything that violates the law, and it has always been the most taboo to have anything to do with officials.

Those who dare to take advantage of the Qingyun Ladder must either be clean and well-established and not afraid of dealing with officials, or they want to do big business and not only rely on the power of officials to become famous, but also use the power of officials to act.

Wang Hongcheng, who turned water into oil, and Yan Xin, Zhang Baosheng, and Tian Ruisheng, who practiced qigong, all used large bows. They caused a stir and became famous in a short period of time, even the top officials were alarmed. It's just that they are all guilty of being greedy and don't know how to accept things when they are good. Overturning is inevitable.

After hearing what I said, the corner of Lao Cao's right eye twitched slightly.

There was a shallow scar at that location, which would have hurt the eyeball directly.

When he heard the big bow, this part twitched unconsciously, indicating that he had suffered losses in similar incidents, so he had a conditioned reflex.

"Have a cigarette."

Lao Cao didn't say anything else. He took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to me. Then he took out a match and stretched it out to me slowly without striking it.

To take firewood instead of fire is to send off guests with cigarettes.

This man must have been a gangster before he became a policeman.

Judging from his age, he was probably before liberation.

At that time, the fastest way for people at the bottom to make money and get ahead was to join a gang.

Lao Cao was still a teenager before the liberation, which was the best age to enter the industry. Even if he got rid of the Jianghu orthodoxy after the founding of the People's Republic of China and followed the official path, he would still be familiar with the allusions of Jincheng Jianghu.

This person is useful to me.

I smiled, put the cigarette in my mouth, and slowly moved it to the unstruck match.

There was obviously no fire, but the cigarette he put up started to smoke.

There is no fire to make smoke, the magic means, no one will be spared but the sky will be spared!

The corners of Lao Cao's eyes twitched slightly again.

I took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "Comrade Cao, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Lao Cao raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes and said: "The last person who showed off his skills in Jincheng, climbed up to the clouds with a big bow, and did big business was Chang Laoxian before the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was arrested and executed in 1949. But I don’t know how many people were killed before this. Now there are disciples in the Jincheng area who are fishing for fish and hunting birds with their little tricks, known as the Changxian Sect. I can see that you have the true method and are capable. If you sneak in and compete with Changxianmen for food, you will definitely have to risk your life to set up a stage, fight and sing, and you can't stop wherever you live. I am fifty-nine this year, and I have been through all kinds of chaos in my life. It is not easy to live in these peaceful years. I'll retire in ten months. In these ten months, I don't want anything else but peace and quiet."

"Chang Laoxian, I've heard of it. However, I am a Yinmai gentleman. I rely on my ability to treat illnesses and make a living. It's not the same as his. Don't worry if you don't offend me."

More than heard of it.

His disciple who is still working around Jincheng is one of the three suspects identified by Sister Miao!

"When Chang Laoxian first came to Jincheng, he also did it in the name of curing diseases and curing harm. If you don't leave, I will keep a close eye on you. Don't let any of your crimes fall into my hands within ten months. When I retire, Whatever you like to do, I don’t care about it.”

Lao Cao stared at me, a cold light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

Look at the eyes before looking at the person.

This old Cao must have killing skills!

I smiled slightly, took out a business card and stuffed it into Lao Cao's hand, "Comrade Cao, you have a wide network of contacts and help me spread my reputation. If you know anyone who commits this outsider problem, you can introduce them to me."

Lao Cao took the business card, touched it carefully, then put it in his pocket and said, "It's not easy for Lao He's family. Don't use her son as a raft."

"It was an accident. I can't cure him now. I told the old aunt and asked her to look for her husband locally first. Since it's not easy for the old aunt, Zhang Yan is targeting her son, why don't you care?"

"That kid doesn't follow the right path. It's a good thing to learn a lesson. I'm keeping an eye on him, so he won't suffer a big loss."

"If you want to take care of that kid, I can help train him and give him a job. If you think it's okay, I'll prepare some wine and food when I have time, and we can chat?"

Lao Cao patted his police uniform and said, "My son is in Shenzhen, and he has bought a house for me. When I retire, my wife and I will live in peace and happiness. In this life, it is my wife who cares about everything. The child is hot on the bed. Chang Laoxian was very prosperous in Jincheng in those days, calling the wind and rain, and commanding the generals and generals like slaves. He claimed that no matter how the dynasty changed, he would still be the master. But what happened in the end? As soon as the army arrived, a small squad leader and two people I took it, and a peanut popped into my head. No bullshit fairy spirit came out, but I peed my pants before being executed. Man, if you know enough to understand your destiny..."

He muttered this, put his hands in his hands, and walked slowly out of the hospital. As soon as he walked out of the hospital, he ran into Zhang Baoshan who was rushing towards him.

"Ouch, Lao Cao, it's so early. You don't have to go there, just go back and rest."

Zhang Baoshan said hello to Lao Cao, walked up to me and said, "We are here, what are the rules for today?"

"I'm getting the thing ready. You can put it in an earthen pot, cover it with a red cloth, and take it away. You know better than me how to operate it then. I promise that as long as I appear on TV with that thing, I will definitely be able to put it away." Bring out the person who built this corpse cauldron."

"It's that simple? Okay, then I'll get something. By the way, this is for you." Zhang Baoshan said, taking out an envelope and stuffing it into my hand, "Don't think it's too little for the consulting fee. This is just what I say. I just applied.”

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I excused myself: "There's really no need for this. That's not why I'm helping you."

But Zhang Baoshan said: "I understand your rules, and this is more or less what they mean. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again if I turn around."

He paused and said: "I have handled a similar case before, and three brothers were involved. If we can't handle this on our own, there will be casualties. Although we brothers are in this business, we will inevitably take this risk. But I still hope that they can be safe every time. This case has been registered with the ministry and went to the provincial governor. It cannot be solved until it is solved. I know that people in your profession do not want to deal with us. In this way, you have helped us A handful, I don’t dare to say anything else, from now on in Jincheng, as long as you don’t commit any major trouble, I’ll keep you safe.”

This is the reason why people in Jianghu are unwilling to deal with the public. If they get involved, it will be difficult to escape.

It’s not that there aren’t any skilled local warlocks in Jincheng, at least there are three top warlocks I know, but why are you looking for an outsider like me? It’s not that I don’t want to get involved with them!

But if he says he won't help at this time, if something happens in the future, it will be tantamount to offending Zhang Baoshan to death. It will be extremely difficult to get around in Jincheng.

Fortunately, since I want to draw my bow in a big way, I am mentally prepared for this, not to mention that I don't intend to really care about the corpse cauldron.

Those who shoot flowers and kidnappers should be damned, and those who pick and harvest raw materials should be damned even more!
