Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!When the two were talking in the room, a voice suddenly came from outside, Qin Xiao just frowned, but Qiu Niang was eclipsed and panicked. She immediately got up and said, "You.....Hurry up and hide!" "

"Hidden?" Qin Xiao was taken aback.

Seeing Qin Xiao looking at herself with a strange look, Qiuniang immediately understood that she was lost.

In panic, let Qin Xiao hide, as if he was afraid of being caught and raped.

Her cheeks blushed and she secretly scolded herself for talking nonsense, but Qin Xiao had already got up, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door, only to see several figures standing outside the door, one in a purple shirt first. Wearing a leather cap is very strange.

Since the other party came to the door, he knew he was here.

He opened the door and walked out. The purple-shirted man was in his early forties with a smile on his face. Seeing Qin Xiao coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask you, but Mr. Qin Xiao Qin?"

"The son dare not be, I am Qin Xiao." Qin Xiao didn't talk nonsense: "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

Qin Xiao glanced over, and saw three people standing behind in the shape of a product. They were all respectful, holding things in their hands, which seemed to be gift boxes. Apparently they were not from the government, but not from Tsing Yi Tang.

"My elder Wu Tianbao, at the order of my eldest brother, come to visit Young Master Qin." The purple-shirted man respectfully said, winking back, and the three men holding the gift box went forward and went into the house.

Qin Xiao raised his hand to stop him, frowning and said: "What does this mean? No merit is not rewarded. I don't know you and I don't know each other. Why did you send these things?"

Qiuniang thought it was the people from Tsing Yi Tang who came to make trouble, but when she saw the clothes of the people outside, her pretty face was still slightly pale, she approached Qin Xiao and whispered, "They...they seem to be members of the Peace Society. ."

Fortunately, Qiuniang just mentioned the Taipinghui, otherwise Qin Xiao didn't know what the Taipinghui was.

The Taipinghui and Tsing Yitang are two major city gangs in Kyoto.

The people from Tsing Yi Hall did not come, but the people from the Taiping Hui came to Qin Xiao quite surprised.

"I'm the second brother of the Taipinghui." Wu Tianbao still smiled: "I came here today. First, I came to visit on the order of my eldest brother. Secondly, I wanted to get acquainted with Young Master Qin. First time meeting, a small gift , No respect."

"I said, no merit is not rewarded." Qin Xiao said: "I don't have much friendship with you in the Taipinghui, and there is no need to get acquainted."

"I know that Young Master Qin may have some misunderstandings about our Peace Conference." Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "But Wu has come here with full sincerity."

Qin Xiao said indifferently: "You know that I am here, so naturally you send someone to stare at me. Is this still full of sincerity?"

"Master Qin has misunderstood. We have never followed Master Qin." Wu Tianbao mouthed a "Master Qin", very polite: "We know that before Qingyitang came to Kushui Alley to make trouble and was beaten by Master Qin and fled in embarrassment, we know that you are here. Here, Taiping has always been concerned about the movements of Tsing Yi Tang. It happened to know that Young Master Qin was here, so I came to disturb him."

Qiuniang has always been threatened by the Tsing Yi Tang and the Taiping Hui. The boat girl in Kyoto has always regarded these two gangs like tigers and wolves.

Qingyitang’s bald Li was stepped on by Qin Xiao, which already made Qiuniang feel that Qin Xiao was bold enough. Today, Wu Tianbao of the Taipinghui even showed respect to Qin Xiao, and it made Qiuniang open a pair of Lingling eyes, just feeling incredible.

Naturally, Wu Tianbao hadn't seen him, but the legendary Wu Erye in the market, that few people didn't know.

Wu Erye is a high-ranking figure in the market, but now he respects Qin Xiao, Qiuniang even wonders if he is dazzled.

"Wu knows that Qin Gongzi and Tsing Yi Tang have a festival, and that Xue Ben Zhonggai of Tsing Yi Tang will report it. He will definitely not give up." Wu Tianbao said sternly: "Qin Gongzi will naturally not be afraid of Tsing Yi Tang, but forgive me, the people of Tsing Yi Tang. All over Kyoto, and there are specially hired assassin killers. If Gongzi Qin is alone, it is difficult to guarantee his own safety."

Qin Xiao said "Oh", thinking that the assassin of last night was really a killer hired by Tsing Yi Tang?

"If Young Master Qin and our Taiping Association have a good relationship, then it is his own person." Wu Tianbao smiled and said: "With the Taiping Association behind him, Tsing Yi Tang wants to move Young Master Qin, but he has to weigh it."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "So, if Wu Erye came today, not only did he send me a generous gift, but he also provided protection for me? This is strange. This is the first time I met Wu Erye, and we are at peace with you. The meeting also has no origins, and Wu Erye took the initiative to come to provide protection, which is really...I am frank, it really makes me feel a little strange."

"Mr. Qin, it is indeed the first time Mr. Wu and you have met." Wu Tianbao always kept a smile: "But our elder brother has known you a long time ago. It can be said that it is an old friend. The eldest brother knows that you are having a holiday with Tsing Yi Tang. After being hurt, we specifically asked us to tell Master Qin that your business in the future will be the affairs of the Taipinghui. If anyone dares to offend you, he will offend the Taipinghui. The Taipinghui will never sit idly by."

"Wait a minute!" Qin Xiao said in surprise: "Your eldest brother and I are acquainted? This...Who is he?"

Wu Tianbao shook his head and said, "Big Brother said, when he is free, he will meet you in person, and give Young Master Qin a surprise."

"Surprise?" Qin Xiao sighed, "As long as it is not a fright. Erye Wu, thank you for taking care of the Taipinghui, you still take the things."

Wu Tianbao still shook his head and said, "Big Brother said, these gifts are not enough to repay Gongzi Qin, they should belong to Gongzi Qin. If Gongzi Qin doesn't accept it, I don't have to go back." Shine, it won't make me embarrassed."

Qin Xiao felt strange as he listened.

Wu Tianbao took a mouthful of a "big brother", and that elder brother was naturally the leader of the Taiping Society, but Wu Tianbao also said that the eldest brother was his old acquaintance, and even claimed that these gifts were in return, which made Qin Xiao puzzled. When did I know this big man from the Taipinghui?

And when did I help him?

"In fact, Gongzi Qin doesn't have to think too much about these gifts." Wu Tianbao stepped forward and said: "This is not gold and silver jewelry. For Gongzi Qin, offering gold and silver jewelry is rather tacky." Open Qin Xiao took a look at a gift box, and saw that the delicate pastries were neatly placed inside, with different shapes. Although I don't know how it tastes, just looking at the shape has already made people appetite.

Wu Tianbao saw Qin Xiao's face astonished, only smiled slightly, turned around and opened a long gift box.

Inside, there are two pairs of silk and satin, and there are even patterns on the silk.

Qin Xiao couldn't tell the quality of silk and satin, but since the other party sent it, it was not bad. As expected, Wu Tianbao said, "This is a jacquard fabric, which is pretty good."

Qiuniang could see clearly from behind, she couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her mouth with a look of surprise.

When the last gift box was opened, there were two beautifully carved vials inside. Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "These are two bottles of wine, and they don’t have a name yet. Because few people in this world can drink such fine wines, let’s be caught. It's called Tianren Brew!"

"Tianren stuffed?" Qin Xiao didn't care about cakes and silks, but when he heard that there was a good wine, Qin Xiao did become interested and couldn't help but reach out and pick up a bottle.

The bottle is not big, according to Qin Xiao's alcohol volume, he can drink it in three or four sips.

Suddenly realized that the cakes and satin were all down, but the other party sent a good wine, obviously knowing that he was good. It seems that the elder brother of the Taipinghui really knows him quite well.

"Kongzi Qin, the main hall of the Taipinghui is located in Yongningfang. When you get there, you can find it as soon as you inquire." Wu Tianbao stepped back two steps and said: "If you have any difficulties or needs, you can go to Yongningfang directly. We, but have orders, never hesitate to die."

Qin Xiao thought of something and said: "There is nothing else, I can't accept these gifts. But there is something I want to persuade you."

"Master, please speak!"

"Er Wu, I heard that half of the three rivers in Kyoto are under your control?" Qin Xiao looked at Wu Tianbao and said, "Many people in Kyoto are living in a tight life. In desperation, they can only let their family members go out on the river. Punt the boat and attract tourists to earn some money to support the family."

"Hundreds of people in Kyoto make a living on this matter." Wu Tianbao said.

Qin Xiaodao: "I heard that the Taiping Club and Tsing Yi Tang collected silver money from the boat maidens who took the boat on the river to raise their families, and they also collected a lot of money, right?"

"Yes." Wu Tianbao did not deny: "In the beginning, the three rivers in Kyoto were in the hands of Tsing Yi Tang. Later, we seized the water and half of the Luoshui. Within this year, it is bound to be completed. Luoshui is in his hands." She glanced at Qiuniang behind Qin Xiao and said, "At the beginning, Tsing Yi Tang collected money from cruise ships on the river and merchant ships that transported goods. After we captured it, this rule has not changed. If I’m not wrong, this lady should also be working on the river."

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."

"I understand." Wu Tianbao folded his hand to Qiuniang and said: "This lady, in the future, you will be punting in the river channel controlled by the Taiping Society. No one will charge you a penny. If you have any trouble, please feel free to say hello. Those who have the Taipinghui will definitely help. Besides, as long as there are no guests on the boat, the brothers of the Taipinghui will bring you the tourists who want to take the boat. You don't have to look for the guests yourself."

Qiuniang immediately showed joy and hurriedly saluted Wu Tianbao: "Thank you, Wu Erye."

For any boat girl, Wu Tianbao's conditions can be said to be a dream.

Not charging river fees is already a thank you to any boat lady, and Taiping will help attract guests, which is even more desirable.

It is important to know that there are a lot of cruise ships on the rivers of Kyoto. There are countless boat girls who make a living on it. In other words, there are hundreds of ships waiting for passengers in the rivers of Kyoto every day. My mother spends half of her time looking for customers every day. It is even more difficult to find customers by boat. If the people from the Taiping Society can help to send the customers off, it will save time to find people and earn a lot of money in one day.

It’s just that some guests have misbehaviors. It’s fake to take a boat, and it’s true to take advantage. It’s commonplace to talk and flirt on the boat. Some people even use their hands and feet. Some turned their faces on the spot, and Qiuniang carried a kitchen knife on her body at all times, and that was precisely because of this.

It would be better if the people of the Taipinghui help deal with tourists who are picky.

"You have misunderstood." Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "I am not begging you for Sister Qiu Niang, but I want to discuss with you, can I stop collecting river fees from the boat ladies from now on?
