Lord of Puro

Chapter 679: Prince Pingyuan (High Energy in this Chapter)
He Jiaqing and his men left Furongzhai carrying one million dollars, and Li Haoyun accompanied them all the way to the outside of the villa.

After saying goodbye and walking on the road, He Jiaqing reminded Qian Xiangjun: "Old Qian, be careful during this period. Li Haoyun is not a generous person and may retaliate against you."

Qian Xiangjun shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it. I was a little scared at first. Li Haoyun is really ruthless. But when I saw that the contract was his, I knew that his anger would definitely subside. He was so happy that he couldn't wait to be happy."

Duan Shuqun nodded slightly: "One million dollars, to buy all the deeds, this thing is considered a profit for him."

Qian Xiangjun sighed, "If you ask me, we still want too little. Half of the adultery in Pro Province is in the hands of Li Haoyun. This man's family background is unfathomable."

He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "Money is a good thing, but if you ask for too much, it will hurt the harmony."

Qian Xiangjun didn't think so: "Being friendly is one thing, but business is business. I don't think asking him two million is too much for this matter."

He Jiaqing said with a smile: "Old Qian, you think things are too simple. This amount is not just a casual remark. Do you think Li Haoyun can give me two million dollars if I ask him for it?"

Qian Xiangjun thought for a moment and said, "I may not be able to come up with cash, but if I sell my family property, I should be able to come up with two million."

He Jiaqing asked again: "Do you think we can wait?"

Qian Xiangjun thought for a moment and said nothing more.

He thought it would be okay to wait, but he didn't know what He Jiaqing would do next.

He Jiaqing sighed, "Old Qian, once he sells off his property, I don't know when this business will be successful.
Maybe it takes ten days or half a day, maybe it takes three or two months, and during this time, unexpected things may happen, and it is hard to say how much trouble it will cause.
Now is the time when we need the money. If we get it early, we can earn more than one million yuan."

He Jiaqing was in a good mood and returned to the film company with one million dollars.

There was a newsboy at the company gate, and He Jiaqing bought a newspaper.

"Prince Pingyuan?" He Jiaqing sighed with a smile, "You've been playing with fire all day, and now you've got into trouble. I want to see how you end up."

……

At Furongzhai, Li Haoyun was drinking with Ma Wu. Ma Wu clasped his fists and said, "Early tomorrow morning, Dongyuan Fruit Market will deliver a few trucks of fresh fruit to Furongzhai. There will be 1.5 million dollars in the trucks. The 1 million is the capital, and the 500,000 is Ma's reward."

Li Haoyun waved his hands and said, "Fifth Master, you are making fun of me. One million dollars is not a small amount to me, but I can afford it. You should not give me a reward of 500,000. As long as you think highly of me, you should not mention this matter."

The reason why Li Haoyun wanted to buy Li Furong's deed was because Ma Wu calculated that He Jiaqing would come to find Li Haoyun and greeted Li Haoyun in advance.

He also relied on the fact that Li Haoyun had been in the underworld for many years and his behavior and speech were flawless, which made He Jiaqing believe that Li Furong was Li Haoyun, and he was able to successfully buy the deed back.

Ma Wu asked someone to do something for him, so how could he ask them to pay for it? "Master Yun, this deed is very important to me. Even if it means I have to spend all my money to buy it, I am willing to do it.
You bought the deed back with one million dollars. This makes me laugh even in my dreams. You must accept the capital and the reward."

Li Haoyun shook his head and said, "Fifth Master, I'm putting my words here. I will definitely not accept this money!"

Ma Wu felt strange as to why Li Haoyun was so determined. It was agreed before that all expenses would be paid by Ma Wu.

Moreover, the remuneration of 500,000 yuan should indeed be given, because Li Haoyun is still taking risks. If He Jiaqing realizes that something is wrong in the future, it is possible that he will cause trouble for Li Haoyun.

Li Haoyun didn't say anything else. The atmosphere was a bit tense. His two wives, Meixiang and Miaolan, then spoke up.

Mei Xiang said, "Fifth Master, when men are talking, we women shouldn't butt in, but our young master really wants to make friends with you."

Meixiang and Miaolan were once Li Haoyun's maids. Even after so many years, they still call Li Haoyun "Young Master".

Miaolan added: "To tell you the truth, our young master's cultivation is almost reaching the cloud, and he will have to rely on you and the prince to take care of him in the future."

Your Majesty...

Ma Wu pursed his lips.

As Luo Yanjun said, the Seventh Brother may not know about the prince's matter, and many people have come to him for help.

I called countless times but couldn't get through. It seemed that Lao Qi was still in Inner State.

"Master Yun, I will definitely tell Old Seven about this, but this money..."

Li Haoyun waved his hands and said, "Fifth Master, don't mention money anymore. I'll get mad if you do!"

……

Li Banfeng came to the exit of Sui'an Town and looked at Zuo Anna and said, "I thought Da Binzi would come to see me off, but he ran away long ago. This guy is too ungrateful."

Zuo Anna smiled and then stated her position: "He is indeed a member of the White Falcon Alliance, but my current scope of authority is only in Sui'an Town. I can't control matters in other places."

What this means is that if Li Qi seeks revenge on Daboyens again, Zuo Anna will not interfere.

Li Qi lowered his hat and prepared to leave. Zuo Anna asked again: "Mr. Li Qi, are you really not going to join the White Falcon Alliance?"

Li Banfeng shook his head without any hesitation.

Zuo Anna handed Li Banfeng a piece of paper with two strings of numbers written on it: "This is the White Falcon Alliance's contact frequency and key. If you have a helper who is good at radio, please give this paper to him. These two strings of numbers can help you find us."

Li Banfeng took the note, left Sui'an Town and entered a cave.

After leaving the cave and climbing over two mountains, Li Banfeng felt that the scenery in front of him looked more and more familiar.

He had been to this place before when he was still in college.

This is Lotus Mountain in Yuezhou City. How could this place also have an entrance to Neizhou?
Including Ruirong Textile Factory, this is the second entrance.

There are two entrances to Neizhou in Yuezhou? How much effort did Neizhou put into Yuezhou?
……

Chen Changrui sat in the office, staring out the window in a daze.

For two consecutive weeks, the Dark Star Bureau did not receive any tasks, including public security, investigation, scientific research... no tasks. Even basic work such as data analysis was handed over to other departments.

The new director has not yet taken office. Chen Changrui knows that this is a sign that the Dark Star Bureau will be abolished. Li Qi is gone, Shen Jingye is gone, and it is impossible for Chen Changrui to keep the Dark Star Bureau on his own.

Moreover, Li Qi's status is no longer what it used to be, and the last link with the Dark Star Bureau is likely to be severed. Chen Changrui is desperate, and the only thing he cares about now is whether his subordinates can have a good ending.

Don't have too many illusions about the future. They are people with dark powers and a special group of people. Other departments will not reuse them, but will only strictly monitor and restrict them.

Some people can't even find a promising job, such as Zhong Er, who suffered such a serious injury and is still in the recovery stage. It is very difficult to arrange a decent job for him.

While I was thinking, the phone rang.

The phone hadn't rung for several days. As soon as Chen Changrui picked it up, he heard a man's voice.

"Old Chen, come to my office."

Chen Changrui was stunned for a moment and looked at the incoming call number.

He packed his clothes and trotted to Li Qi's office.

"Director Li, not that Director Li, nor that Dean Li..."

Li Banfeng sat behind his desk and smiled, "Who are you looking for?"

Chen Changrui smiled and said, "Your position has just been adjusted, and I'm used to calling you that..."

"Adjusted again?" Li Banfeng said seriously, "First, tell me what happened to the director? It shouldn't have anything to do with the mental hospital, right?"

Chen Changrui was stunned: "Mental hospital? It has nothing to do with that!"

Li Banfeng let out a long sigh: "It's good that it has nothing to do with the mental hospital. What kind of hospital is it?"

"The full name of this organization is the Institute of Balanced Work, or the Institute of Balance for short. You will be the director, and your rank will be two levels higher than your current level."

"Two levels higher?" Li Banfeng calculated and said in astonishment, "Isn't that too big?"

Chen Changrui nodded: "That's right."

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Have you guys gotten a salary increase?"

Chen Changrui was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Dean Li, you are making fun of us. Your position has been promoted, but ours has not changed. Moreover, we are almost losing our positions now. The Dark Star Bureau is about to be abolished."

Li Banfeng frowned: "Why is it being banned again? Gao Yina is still the one in charge, right? Ask her to come see me."

Chen Changrui got a life-saving straw and quickly called Gao Yina. Gao Yina was on a business trip. When she heard that Li Qi was coming, she quickly turned down all her work, dispatched a helicopter, and tried her best to rush back.

While waiting for someone, Li Banfeng asked Chen Changrui, "Do you have any information about the White Falcon Alliance?"

"Yes!" Chen Changrui did not dare to be vague and quickly asked the people in the archives room to bring the information of the White Falcon Alliance.

The information on the White Falcon Alliance was very thick, and Li Banfeng didn't know where to start, so he asked Chen Changrui directly: "Did you know that the White Falcon Alliance sent many people from the inner state to other states?"

Chen Changrui nodded: "The Dark Star Bureau conducts special investigations on this matter every year. This is the latest list we have."

Li Banfeng flipped through the list and saw that there were information and data on hundreds of people. The Dark Star Bureau had done a pretty good job in its investigation work in this area.

The list is divided into three parts. The first part is called partners. Li Banfeng found Kang Zhenchang's name among the partners.

Li Banfeng was surprised and asked, "Is Kang Zhenchang from Neizhou?"

Chen Changrui thought for a moment and said, "His identity is not easy to define. We are not even sure whether Kang Zhenchang's true identity is a medical practitioner or a nightmare practitioner."

Li Banfeng was certain about this matter. Kang Zhenchang was Song Qianhun's ghost servant, and the person who could truly represent Kang Zhenchang's position was Teacher Song's father, Song Qianhun.

Chen Changrui continued, "We know that Kang Zhenchang lived in the Great Shang Empire and held a relatively high position. As for whether he was a native of the Shang Empire, we are still unsure.

What we can confirm now is that Kang Zhenchang is a member of the White Falcon Alliance. He has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with us and holds a relatively high position in the Huan Kingdom. He is qualified to participate in discussions and decision-making on some major issues. "

If Song Qianhun is a member of the White Falcon Alliance, then what about his daughter, Teacher Song?
Li Banfeng did not find Song Shu's name, but he found that the list of partners was very long.

Chen Changrui explained, "Not all of these people were sent from Inner Province, but they all have connections with the White Falcon Alliance, and more than 70% of them are members of the White Falcon Alliance."

Li Banfeng looked at the occupation column of the roster. These people were distributed in various industries and fields. "The White Falcon Alliance has so many collaborations with other states?"

Chen Changrui lowered his voice and said, "This is an inevitable choice under the general trend. The speed of technological development in Amikan is obvious to all. They were the first country to establish a cooperative relationship with the White Falcon Alliance."

Li Banfeng continued to look through the list. The second part of the list was called special individuals.

In this list, Li Banfeng found a familiar name, Zhao Zhihong, a professor of astronomy at Yuezhou University.

Balloon professor Zhao Zhihong.

"Is this Professor Zhao from Neizhou or a member of the White Falcon Alliance?"

Chen Changrui said: "He is from Shang country. He escaped from Nanhao when he was young and was arranged by the White Falcon League to study at the university. He completed his doctorate with excellent grades and then stayed at the school to teach.

You mentioned him before, and you said you hoped that professionals would handle professional matters. I told you at the time that it was not that simple, mainly because of this person’s special background and special personality, which made it difficult for us to deal with him. ”

The special origin has been figured out. Zhao Zhihong is from Neizhou. He never lets go of the balloon, probably because he wants to conceal his appearance.

"What do you mean by a special disposition?"

Chen Changrui said: "He received a good education in the Great Shang Kingdom and has a good foundation in science and technology. After taking university courses, he integrated the electrical civilization of the Earth and the steam civilization of the third planet and achieved many scientific and technological achievements.

This person should have been given more important positions, but he often leaked information about dark stars and galaxies to the public through his academic achievements. After repeated persuasion failed, we could only take necessary restrictive measures against him. "

Li Banfeng asked: "Have you investigated why he leaked the relevant information?"

Chen Changrui had a deep memory of Zhao Zhihong: "He always said that if the Shang Dynasty attacked one day, ordinary people should know how terrible these people were, and they should know where to escape and how to save their lives."

Li Banfeng remained silent.

Chen Changrui went on to say: “In fact, when that day really comes, not many people will be able to protect themselves. But if we allow him to continue to spread the word, it will cause unnecessary panic.”

Li Banfeng did not make any comment and continued to look through the list.

The third part of the list is called the blurred personnel.

In this part of the list, Li Banfeng noticed a person, Shi Qiwen.

Li Banfeng had never seen this person's name, but he was very familiar with his workplace.

The black market at the Palace of Culture.

There was very little information about him, so Li Banfeng asked Chen Changrui: "Which stall in the black market is he from?"

Chen Changrui shook his head and said, "We are still unable to determine his identity in the black market. We only know that he was sent to Yuezhou by the White Falcon Alliance. He did not actively cooperate with us, nor did he show any hostility, but he was engaged in some gray activities in some gray areas.
There are many people like him, and some of them often cooperate with some illegal immigrants from Provo, causing a lot of trouble for our work. "

Li Banfeng asked Chen Changrui to make a photocopy of the list. When he was looking through other information, Gao Yina rushed back.

"President Li, we finally see you! We have arranged a new office location for you, and the driver is waiting for you downstairs."

Li Banfeng was pleasantly surprised and asked, "How are the office conditions?"

Gao Yina smiled and said, "The specifications are the highest and the environment is the best."

“How’s the equipment?”

"They are all the most advanced and top-notch at the moment!"

"How are the personnel?"

At this point, Gao Yina was a little excited: "We have gone through layers of selection and equipped you with a group of elite soldiers!"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "No."

Gao Yina's smile froze: "Dean Li, what I just said is the truth..." Li Banfeng said seriously: "At work, you have to address me by my title. Call me Director Li. I am the director of the Dark Star Bureau."

Gao Yina looked at Chen Changrui, who smiled but said nothing.

Gao Yina looked at Li Banfeng again: "The level of the Dark Star Bureau is seriously mismatched with your rank, so..."

Li Banfeng said: "Then raise the level of the Dark Star Bureau until it matches me."

Gao Yina was stunned and said, "Meaning that my level matches yours? This, this is really... you are putting it too hard on me!"

Li Banfeng said earnestly: "The more difficult the situation is, the more it reflects a person's character. Comrade Yina, don't be afraid of difficulties. This is a test for you, but also a trust in you!"

Gao Yina's face was sallow, and she nodded and said, "I'll do my best."

She agreed, she actually agreed.

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Then go quickly."

Gao Yina left and Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.

Why did Gao Yina agree so readily to such an excessive request?
Li Banfeng had been planning to raise the level of the Dark Star Bureau for a long time, but he never thought that it could be accomplished overnight.

He originally wanted to put pressure on Gao Yina to save the Dark Star Bureau first, but he didn't expect Gao Yina to compromise directly.

Each state has its own rules, and things must be done step by step, but today, this rule seems to have been broken.

Li Banfeng looked at Chen Changrui and said, "You need to keep an eye on this matter. Gao Yina may have just written a bad check."

"I don't think so!" Chen Changrui was very confident. "I will report to you as soon as there is any news from above. In addition, there is something I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"what's up?"

Chen Changrui took out the resignation reports of Dengbaoer and Tangyuan: "I have not approved the resignation applications of these two people..."

Li Banfeng took the resignation letter and put it in his drawer: "This is a misunderstanding. They did not resign. They just went to Puro State to perform a special mission."

Chen Changrui nodded repeatedly and left the office.

Li Banfeng fell into deep thought.

What on earth happened? I was promoted so quickly and things went so smoothly. I just went to Inner Province and why is there such a big change?
There must be a reason behind this.

Li Banfeng called Ma Wu.

Luo Zhengnan was overjoyed when he received the message from Li Banfeng.

The call was transferred to Ma Wu, who was both happy and anxious: "Seventh Brother, I've been looking for you for so many days, why did you just take so long to respond?"

"Did something serious happen?"

"Something big has indeed happened. He Jiaqing has taken Li Furong's deed."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Where is he now? I will go find him immediately."

Now that the deed is in He Jiaqing's hands, it might be difficult to get it back.

Ma Wu said: "No need to look for him, I asked Li Haoyun to buy the deed back, it cost one million dollars."

As soon as he heard Li Haoyun's name, Li Banfeng had already figured out the general process.

He Jiaqing must have misunderstood and mistook Li Haoyun for Li Furong.

Ma Wu recounted the entire incident and asked Li Banfeng, "Is Li Banling really your brother? From the looks of it, he seems to be a shadow cultivator."

"This person..." Li Banfeng blinked.

Li Banling and Li Banfeng grew up together in an orphanage. When Li Banfeng was a sophomore, Li Banling had already gone to work in Chancheng, and they had little contact since then.

The person Ma Wu met was not Li Banling, but most likely Ban Fengyi.

"Old Five, just get the things back. Thanks to you this time."

Ma Wu said: "Why are we brothers talking about this? The key is that Li Haoyun is not easy to deal with. I returned the one million dollars to him and gave him a reward of 500,000 yuan, but he refused to accept it."

"Is it too little? Then give me more."

"It's not that it's too little, it's that he doesn't want to take the money. His cultivation is almost reaching the cloud."

Li Banfeng understood that this person wanted a piece of land.

To be honest, with He Jiaqing's strength and skills, not many people dare to play tricks on him. Li Haoyun took such a big risk to help Li Banfeng once, and this friendship is indeed not small.

"The one million capital must be returned to Li Haoyun."

"I really wanted to return it, but he said he wouldn't take it."

"Tell him that the friendship between Li Qi and Ma Wu cannot be bought with money."

"Seventh Brother, it was correct to say this before, but it is not correct to say this now."

"Why doesn't it work?"

"Your status is different now. Most people don't dare to talk to you about friendship."

"Why is it different?"

"You are a prince now."

"Which prince?"

"The prince of the Great Shang Kingdom."

“Who sealed it?”

"Qiao Yi and his team sealed it. The expedited document was sent to Provost, and it was all in the newspapers."

Expedited paperwork?
Li Banfeng remembered that he encountered a fast fish on the way, which scared the whole Sui'an town so much that they stopped.

Could it be that the fast fish was used to deliver documents?

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time and asked, "Isn't Qiao Yi the regent? Why is he crowned king? How can he be qualified?"

"It wasn't just him who made you a king. He brought the entire royal family, including the cabinet, to make you Prince Pingyuan."

Li Banfeng was stunned.

No wonder Gao Yina was so cooperative and no wonder she was promoted to such a high position.

It turned out that he became the prince of Neizhou without knowing it.

This is good news for out-of-state people. With a higher status, the role of balancers will definitely be more prominent.

But is this good news for Li Banfeng?
Ma Wu said, "Seventh Brother, the people who are looking for you to do things are about to kick down our door."

"What do you want from me?"

"When dealing with matters in Neizhou, some people came to you to ask for land, some came to you to ask for official positions. Some were stopped by me, and some I couldn't drive away no matter how hard I tried."

"The news spreads very quickly. I guess I'm the last one to know about this."

"Seventh Brother, you must not go back to Pro Province recently."

"Why can't you go back?"

"If you come back now, will the peddler let you go?"

“Why didn’t the peddler let me go?”

"You have become the prince of Neizhou, which is equivalent to betraying Purozhou. How can the peddler let you go? Look at your title, King Pingyuan, who do you want to pacify?"

Li Banfeng's veins throbbed.

Qiao Yi actually turned the tables on Li Banfeng.

"Old Five, I'm going back to Prostate today."

"Seventh Brother, didn't you hear what I just said? Take shelter in another state first, and don't come back."

"Why can't I come back? I still have a lot of things to do."

Li Banfeng hung up the phone.

Ma Wu was so anxious that he was sweating. Feng Dai said bitterly, "Wulang, you have to find a way to persuade him. If the peddler starts to fight, no one can save him."

Ma Wu sighed and said, "How can we persuade him? When he makes up his mind, who can persuade him?"

Luo Zhengnan, who was in the middle of the conversation, was also very anxious, but he was very calm. He knew that there was someone who should be able to persuade Li Qi.

Li Banfeng's phone rang. When he picked it up, he smiled and said, "My dear, you must have missed me."

"Husband, have you arrived in another state?"

"Yes, in another state."

Zhao Xiaowan said, "My husband, I heard about your life in Neizhou. It was definitely not your intention to become the Prince of Pingyuan. Listen to me and don't come back. Hide in the outer province for a few days first."

Li Banfeng frowned: "Why do you say that?"

"My husband, I know you and the peddler are usually very close, but in this situation, the peddler will definitely not tolerate you.
You think the peddler is usually easygoing, but that's because you haven't seen his vicious methods. You must not go back to Prostate."

Li Banfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Madam, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

"My dear husband, I know you did nothing wrong, but some things cannot be reasoned with, and this matter has spread throughout Pro Province. There may be more ruthless people who want to deal with you than just the peddler!"

"My dear, wait for me at home."

"Mister, Mr. Mr...."

……

At dusk, Li Banfeng returned to Xiaoyaowu from Taohua Lake and changed his wet clothes.

When Ma Wu heard that there was some noise in Li Qi's room, he hurried over, pushed the door open, and saw Li Banfeng sitting by the window.

"Seventh Brother, why did you come back? Why didn't you listen to my advice?"

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "This is my home. Can't I go home now?"

Ma Wu said anxiously, "Go hide in another state for a few days. I will ask the newspaper to publish an article saying that you were not aware of this and that this was a frame-up."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "There's no need to write any articles. Not many people in Pro Province know about what's happening in Nei Province, so I don't need to explain anything to others."

"Lao Qi..."

"Old Five, I'm fine. Go take care of your business. I'll take a rest."

Ma Wu sighed and left.

Li Banfeng sat by the window, quietly looking at the clouds in the sky, feeling a little irritated and a little tired.

When he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone say in his ear: "There are always unexpected events."

Li Banfeng opened his eyes and saw a man sitting next to him.

"Yes, there are unexpected changes in the world, and the situation changes too fast. I can't see clearly and I can't understand it." Li Banfeng sighed.

"That's not what I'm talking about," the peddler wiped the black dust off his face. "What I'm talking about is that there are many clouds in the sky, you don't have to focus on mine, and there are many houses in the sky, you don't have to burn mine."

Li Banfeng looked at the peddler and said, "I didn't betray Prozhou."

The peddler nodded: "I know."

Li Banfeng asked seriously: "Do you really know?"

The peddler smiled and said, "Do you feel wronged? You must feel bad after working so hard and being misunderstood in the end."

Li Banfeng was surprised: "You know this too?"

The peddler rolled a cigarette and said, "Of course I know. I have suffered more injustice than you, and you are luckier than me."

Li Banfeng thought about it, but couldn't figure it out: "Why am I luckier than you?"

"Because at least there are still people who believe in you."

“Who believes me?”

"I," the peddler looked at Li Banfeng and handed him the cigarette, "I believe you."
