C33 The Teahouse
The teahouse.
Everything in the Biyun City was normal. All kinds of hawkers were hawking non-stop. The shops were lined up on both sides of the road. The pedestrians who passed by also added a lot of emotions. The depression outside the Biyun City was like two different worlds.
Long Chenhao and Lan Yun went to a teahouse and sat down. No matter when the teahouse was, it would always be the place with the most information. However, crown teacher, who had a higher level, usually disdained to come to such a place. Even crown teacher was rarely seen here.
A man in coarse linen clothes saw the two of them walk in and quickly said, "May I know what you two need?"
Lan Yun looked at him and said with a smile, "Give us two a pot of good tea."
"Okay."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lan Yun said, "Wait a minute. We have a few questions for you. If you answer them well, I will give you more." A gold coin flew out of Lan Yun's hand.
"Master, just tell me. As long as I know, I will make sure you are satisfied." He put away Lan Yun's gold coin and said with a smile.
Lan Yun nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am a little short on money recently. Do you know where there is Underground Bank?"
The Underground Bank could also be considered a high-interest loan. The interest of borrowing money from it was very high. Ordinary people would not dare to go there to borrow money, but if they did not pay it back, they would not have a good ending.
"I know, I know, but this place is a bit too..."
Lan Yun looked at him and three gold coins flew out of his hand.
"Hehe, this Underground Bank of mine is about a thousand steps to the east of our teahouse. There are some houses there, and there are two people standing in front of the door. You can go in from where."
"Also, our Biyun City has the participation of City Lord, Zhou family and Dong Families. There is no problem with our reputation."
Lan Yun frowned and asked in confusion, "Oh, isn't there another Chen Family in the Biyun City? Why didn't they participate?"
"Young Master, there is something you don't know. Currently, the Zhou Family and the Dong Families in the Biyun City are like the sun at noon. As for the Chen family, they had already started showing signs of decline many years ago. Although they are still considered a big family in the Biyun City, their influence is already as great as before. "
Lan Yun took out another five gold coins and said, "Alright, I understand. You can leave now."
"Alright, Lord ___. If you need anything else, just ask. I will tell you everything."
Long Chenhao, who was listening from the side, felt confused when he heard what the two of them said. Long Chenhao was not very familiar with the teahouse. As for the Underground Bank, Long Chenhao, who had lived in the Imperial Palace for many years, had never heard of it.
Lan Yun looked at the puzzled expression on Long Chenhao's face and explained, "It's normal that we, crown teacher, don't know about places like this, Brother Dragon. I also found out about this by chance."
"That Underground Bank is a good place to collect money, and the high interest is like a devil that has destroyed countless families. So today, we will go and eradicate this evil place." Lan Yun acted like a gentleman and said to Long Chenhao with a smile.
Long Chenhao ignored him. At this time, a voice came from the side, "Have you heard that something big has happened to our Biyun City recently?"
"You can brag about it here. What else can happen to our Biyun City?"
The people beside him responded, "That's right, that's right. Don't listen to his nonsense."
That person did not care about those voices and continued, "I heard that there was a small captain of a mysterious organization in the Imperial Capital who was killed when our Biyun City was carrying out a mission. Also, haven't you seen that the number of soldiers guarding outside the city has increased recently?"
Long Chenhao said quietly by the side. He guessed that the so-called small captain should be the mysterious man of the Shadow Legion.
"Ah! There's such a thing."
"I wonder who did it. It's really bold!"
"That's right! It's too scary! How many years has it been since something like this happened to our Biyun City?"
Some people were discussing enthusiastically at the side.
Finally, one person said, "We can only talk about it here. These things are what those adults crown teacher should be concerned about. We civilians can only pray that the adults can resolve it as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes." The surrounding people said and did not dare to continue the discussion.
Although everyone on the continent would have a crown, most of them would only have a few useless crowns. They couldn't absorb a trace of the crown force in the air, and could only stay at crowns's level for the rest of their lives.
Long Chenhao and Lan Yun did not continue listening. They followed the instructions of the people in the teahouse and arrived in front of a house.
The place where the houses were located was quite far from the center of the city, and it seemed like they were trying to fool people. This place seemed a little desolate. There was not a single person on the street, and it felt somewhat out of place with the other parts of the city.
Lan Yun looked around and said, "This city lord is really careful. He actually hid the Underground Bank here. Who would have thought that ordinary people would have that?"
Long Chenhao also said with emotion, "Looks like it's another old fox!"
Lan Yun smiled and did not say anything.
A group of strong men with a girl tied up walked on the street and appeared in front of Long Chenhao. A man beside them was begging, "Please, brothers, please do it. I will definitely return the money to you if you give me a few more days."
One of them looked at him and snorted. "How can you pay me back? It's faster to buy your sister into a brothel."
Hearing the man's words, the girl resisted with all her might, her eyes flashing with tears from time to time.
Lan Yun, who usually laughed and liked to watch all kinds of scenes, now strangely walked up and said, "Brothers, may I ask what you are..."
A brawny man glanced at Lan Yun and said, "Who do you think you are? You dare to ask even if I am here to do something."
A trace of anger flashed across Lan Yun's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Big brother, I definitely don't dare to ask about your matter. It's just that I feel that the siblings are a little pitiful, so I asked them and they might even help."
The strong men around suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, you think you can help someone?"
Then the strong man looked at Lan Yun's clothes and felt that it was definitely not an ordinary thing. He said, "But this brother and sister pair are indeed a bit pitiful. Their mother was sick and borrowed 100 gold coins from us. Including the principal and interest, it has reached 900 gold coins. Kid, tell me if you can help."
Lan Yun said with a smile, "So that's how it is. Since I have 900 gold coins, I will pay it back for this pair of siblings!"
Lan Yun took out a small bag of gold coins from his dimensional ring and handed it over.
The brawny man looked at it in surprise. He snorted and took the gold coins, then walked to the side with his underlings.
The man first took the rope from his sister's body, then he pulled his sister and knelt down. "Young master, I really don't know how to thank you for your kindness. I will definitely return your money in the future."
Lan Yun shook his hand as a farewell and did not say anything.
Long Chenhao looked at Lan Yun and said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Blue is a man of character."
"I learned this from you, my money!" Lan Yun pretended to be heartbroken. However, he really wanted to help them, because when he saw the siblings, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he and his sister were young. How similar was it? He couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
