Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

Dasha and the second brother almost lowered their heads under the table after hearing what Li Zihang said. Xiao Yushui looked at him with admiration.

Grandpa and grandma also looked pleased.

Jiu Nai, like a young girl, praised him with all kinds of nice words, and pinched his face and rubbed his head from time to time.

Li Zihang was praised like the two poor students. He lowered his head and blushed.

In the first two months, Li Zihang and Jiunai were not familiar with each other. There was still some awkwardness in their conversation.

Jiu Nai, you should be more restrained. Now, your true nature is exposed. Sometimes you speak and act like a little girl.

If she needs anything, ask Li Zihang to do it.

Li Zihang was too lazy to go. Or maybe he was embarrassed. So he just refused.

My goodness, Jiu Nai is like a little girl, she can act like a spoiled child to him. If she sees that he doesn't respond, she will start to cry while talking.

Not to mention people in their fifties, even light rain doesn't look like that.

When I am happy, I touch his head and rub his face. That is common.

Sometimes her two-year-old grandson would get annoyed by her kisses.

Grandpa and grandma can’t do anything about it, so they can only let her do what she wants.

Some time ago, he eavesdropped on the conversation between his grandparents. Only then did he realize that Jiu Nai was a naturally charming person.

In addition, the Li family is a wealthy and prestigious family, and Ju Ye has the blood of the white tiger.

His position in the family was extremely important, and he protected Jiu Nai without reservation.

Not to mention working, even cooking was something she learned slowly after she had a child, with the help of maternal love. Her personality also retains her childlike innocence.

This is how they have lived until now. It is not difficult to explain why her eldest son, second son and second daughter refused to come with her.

And the reason why her younger son and daughter stayed away from her.

On several occasions, Li Zihang heard Jiunai calling Li Shibai "Little Baibai".

The intimacy between them made him, who was called Uncle Bai, want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Time flies. Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

After school, Jia Dongxu came to his house with wine and cigarettes.

"Brother Jia, put your things down. I'll call you back after I'm done. Don't worry, it won't take long."

After sending Jia Dongxu away, he saw that it was still early, so he made a phone call to the bodyguards in the courtyard across the alley, asking them to send someone to follow him.

Some people may say that the Li family is so powerful, but they are harassed by Jia Zhang again and again, and they can't do anything about it.

Wrong ~ They are on different levels, and the Li family doesn’t take them seriously at all.

It's impossible to take someone's life or destroy someone's family just because of a small matter.

There is no need for that. As the saying goes, the King of Hell is aggressive and the little devils are hard to deal with. That's the truth.

Before Aunt Qi moved out, she would just stand in the yard next door and make that group of people afraid to speak.

Another point is that the Li family is too low-key, and outsiders have no idea about their family affairs. As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. The people next door are just like that.

Only a few people knew something about it, such as the three uncles, Xu Damao's family, and the deaf old lady. Others just regarded the Li family as rich.

After everything was in place, Li Zihang asked the bodyguard to take the cigarettes, alcohol and money, and rode his bike in front.

More than half an hour later, we arrived at a leadership compound in Dongcheng District.

You have to register with the guard before entering. You can only be allowed in after getting the consent of the visitor.

Uncle Qi's house. "Aunt Qi, it's not easy to come to you. I have to register and ask questions. It's so troublesome."

Aunt Qi: "So what can I do? You know your Uncle Qi's situation. I'm tired of living here. It's not even convenient to buy vegetables."

"In the past, we grew some vegetables in our backyard, raised chickens, and had fish in the fish pond. We could pick them whenever we wanted to eat."

"Now, it takes more than ten minutes to ride a bike to buy groceries. My workplace is also very far away. I was transferred to a new unit a few days ago. It is closer to home now."

Li Zihang listened to Aunt Qi's complaints and comforted her.

"Why don't you move back and let my seventh uncle live here alone."

"Come over from time to time to help Uncle Seven with the washing and cleaning."

Before Li Zihang could finish his words.

Uncle Seven, who came home from get off work, started yelling.

"Little brat, you haven't been here for two weeks, and as soon as you come you separate us. What are you thinking?"

Li Zihang said, "Seventh Uncle, you only care about yourself. You never think about Aunt."

"I lived a comfortable life at home before. I moved here to take care of you. You don't feel sorry for your wife at all."

"If you don't feel sorry for me, I still feel sorry for my aunt."

With just two sentences, Li Zihang resolved his seventh uncle's blame and made his seventh aunt happy.

Next, Li Zihang told his purpose again and left his things and money. In return, Uncle Qi said he would give him an answer tomorrow.

After Aunt Qi’s repeated persuasion, Li Zihang decided to move back.

It was a little after seven in the evening. There were still some red clouds in the summer sky.

Li Zihang walked out of the leadership compound and looked at several bodyguards hiding in the corner of the compound and chatting there.

"Nine Gates, I heard that you lost a lot of good fighters this time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the capital to ask the master for help!"

"Who says it's not true? But you haven't seen that group of people. The look in their eyes definitely shows that they have been living on the edge of a knife for years."

"You can smell the blood from a long distance away."

"Then again. Times are different now. They are so desperate that they actually ran from Sand City to the capital. I admire them."

"You also said that they were on the edge of a knife and didn't care about their lives, which was abnormal."

"Hehe~ Those guys are capable. It's such a long journey, and with their behavior, if they are caught by the soldiers on the road, they will definitely be arrested."

Li Zihang was shocked when he heard this. Sand City? Nine Gates?

This fucking plot has popped up again.

"Tell me about the Nine Gates you mentioned!"

Several people were startled when they heard the voice. It came behind them silently without them noticing.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it was Li Zihang.

"Young master, your kung fu is getting better and better. You came behind us silently without us noticing."

Li Zihang: "Don't interrupt me, answer my question."

Li Zihang pushed the car and stood in front of them, waiting for a reply.

"That's not it~"

He was hesitant and unwilling to say anything, and only said this when he could no longer bear the look in Li Zihang's eyes.

"Young Master, it's not that we don't want to tell you. The old master has told you not to get involved in this matter."

Li Zihang knew the majesty of the old man in their hearts. If they were not allowed to say something, they would never say it even if they were beaten to death.

I can only go back and ask the old man about this matter.

Ignore them and ride away.

It was not yet eight o'clock when I got home, and I saw that the light in the old man's study was still on.

After knocking on the door and hearing the old man say come in, Li Zihang went in obediently.

When Li Zihang was young, he did things that were not in accordance with the rules, and his grandparents just patiently taught him.

As he got older, he no longer did the things that he used to do without following the rules.

study.

"Didn't you stay at your seventh uncle's house for a night?"

“The leadership compound is not comfortable to live in.”

Li Zihang saw that the old man was actually studying a portrait of the emperor.

He walked to the desk, stood next to the old man, and lowered his head to study.

"Grandpa, which emperor is this portrait of?"

"Looking at the costumes, he is an emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The painting style is also the work of the masters of the Ming Dynasty."

"These two years of study have not been in vain!"

"The portrait of Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. What do you want from me?"

The old man continued speaking without looking up from the painting through a magnifying glass.

"Grandpa, I heard that the Nine Gates came to Beijing to ask for our help. That's why I came to ask you about the Nine Gates."

The old man, upon hearing the word "Nine Gates", stopped looking down at the painting, put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and turned to look at Li Zihang.

"Grandson, where did you hear these two words?"

"I heard it from An Bao!"

"This group of people are increasingly not taking my words to heart."

Li Zihang heard the old man's tone and thought that if he didn't explain, they would be punished again.

“Grandpa is not what you think.

You know I am now training with Master Ju. My skills are different from before.

They were chatting in a corner, and I approached them silently, and then I heard their conversation. "

"They dodged a bullet. What do you want to know?"

"Grandpa, what's going on with the Nine Gates entering the capital? What's their relationship with our family? And what's going on with the Nine Gates?"

When the old man heard his grandson's long list of questions, he suddenly realized that his grandson was a little too curious.

This is not a good thing. There are many cases where curiosity kills people. It seems that we need to teach him a lesson.

"Move up a chair and sit across from me. It'll take a while to finish this."

Li Zihang did as he was told.

"The Nine Gates is an alliance of nine groups of tomb robbers. It originated in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. The gathering place is in Shacheng.

Later, they made their fortune by robbing tombs. In order to share the profits, the nine most powerful tomb robbers in Sand City at that time eliminated dissidents and formed an alliance. This is the origin of the Nine Gates. "

"As for what this has to do with our family, that's a long story."

"Those grave robbers would have to sell the treasures they dug up for cash, so the vendors of funeral bag items would look for famous shawl sellers. They would ask them to act as middlemen and introduce them to capable buyers."

"That's how my family got in touch with them. During the Republic of China period, those shawl bearers brought some funeral objects to Beijing. They organized underground auctions and invited powerful buyers to participate."

"Due to vested interests, their auction offended some of the big names in the city at that time. In the end, the two groups fought each other and many people died."

"A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No one dares to challenge the Nine Gates in Sand City, but this is the Fourth Nine City. It is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden in the country."

“A Nine Gates can only admit defeat.

The two gangs didn't want to get into a fight, so they looked for someone who was powerful and prestigious at the time to act as a middleman and shake hands and talk.

After sitting down to discuss, they decided that the Nine Gates would still follow the rules of the Four Nine Cities. "

"The powerful and prestigious middleman we found was my father. This was our first contact with the Nine Gates."

"After everything is settled, they will be allowed to sell funeral objects in Beijing, but they must go to a designated place and hand them over to a third-party auction house for sale. We will also charge a certain commission for their goods."

"Although this will reduce some benefits, it is more stable and safe, and has wider channels. The Nine Gates agreed."

"Every once in a while, they would bring the funeral objects to the Crescent Hotel and let them auction them off."

"This is the origin of the Nine Gates into the capital."

After hearing the explanation, Li Zihang expressed the doubts in his mind.

"So they came to Beijing this time to sell funeral objects?"

The old man sneered in response.

"They don't have the time or energy to sell funeral objects right now."

"A group of people who can't even protect themselves. This time they come to Beijing just to wag their tails and beg for survival~"
