Chapter 271 Post-war Situation (Part 2)

Just when everyone was frowning, Guan Poming seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Changqing, who was sitting aside and was bored to play with the black feathers in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Boy Xu, aren't you the best in calculating people? Back then, you just used a trick to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, and a red-topped official and businessman as big as Hu Xueyan, to lose his family and his family. Why don't you come up with an idea to help these people?"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Guan Poming's words, and their eyes were focused on the young man who had just said nothing.

"Senior Guan has been awarded! Hu Xueyan's work was done by the previous generation and has nothing to do with me." Xu Changqing frowned and glared at Guan Poming with an unhappy expression.

The matter about Hu Xueyan was originally a stain that Xu Changqing's sect would not mention. Although Hu Xueyan was a sharp knife used by the Qing court to deal with the Chen family, the industry he bought was a national industry after all. At that time, in order to deal with Hu Xueyan, he completely destroyed such a large industry and made Hu Xueyan's burial object. After thinking about it, both Chen Deshang and Xu Changqing's master felt that the whole plan was a bit too cruel, so he did not implement the plan anymore and expanded the scope of the impact to Zuo Zongtang. Therefore, Hu Xueyan also saved his life. After taking over the title of Master of Yizhuang, Xu Changqing always left a glimmer of life for the other party when he made suggestions for the Chen family. As for whether the other party could seize this glimmer of life and escape from death, it was not his business.

In Xu Changqing's view, Southeast Asia is too chaotic. Officials of various countries, merchants from all countries, local natives and religious sects are gathered here. All forces are fighting on this small island and waters, and this place is almost comparable to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China. It can be said that after you sing and I will appear, everyone wants to fully grasp the key points of this hub connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The relationship between the various forces is so chaotic that even Xu Changqing can't figure it out.

In addition, in recent times, the relations between European powers that mainly control Southeast Asia have become extremely tense, which makes an occasional incident here and seemingly insignificant may be the fuse that detonates the entire Southeast Asia. It is precisely because of this that the cause and effect of the cause and effect are too great, so Xu Changqing also feels fear, so he doesn't want to interfere too much in the matter here. He sits aside as a stone sculpture, but unexpectedly he is finally forced out by being locked up.

At this time, a thin old man who seemed to be the oldest in Chinese businessmen stood up, walked to Xu Changqing, and saluted respectfully: "I am Feng Jiusheng, the shopkeeper of Heletang! Can you ask if the gentleman is the one on Taohua Mountain in Chenjiagou, Shaoguan?"

"He Letang? Feng Jiusheng?" Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up, with gratitude in his eyes, and bowed to the old man with a humble look on his face, saying, "Old benefactor, please accept Xu Changqing's bow!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised. Even Guan Poming, who deliberately wanted to pull Guan Xu Changqing into the water, was dumbfounded. He never expected that the vague idler, who was known for his pride, would kneel down for a day. At this time, Feng Jiusheng was also confused by Xu Changqing's actions, and he had no idea why Xu Changqing wanted to give this gift. It was not until Xu Changqing got up that he realized, and quickly accused him of the crime, bent down and wanted to return the gift to Xu Changqing.

"Mr. Feng, don't panic, you should bear this gift." Seeing that Feng Jiusheng wanted to come back, Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, and then said with a smile: "Mr., do you still remember that thirty-two years ago, using a ancestral jade calamus to save the life of a coffin in Chenjia Chongshan City?"

As Xu Changqing asked the question, the old man gradually remembered some past events, with a hint of surprise on his face, and asked back: "Is it possible that the coffin was the gentleman?"

"That's right." Xu Changqing nodded.

He Letang used to be a small medicine shop with some reputation in Guangzhou. Feng Jiusheng was a pharmacy shop and a shopkeeper. He Letang offended a powerful official and businessman in Guangzhou and was framed and rebelled. All his family was locked up. Only Feng Jiusheng was purchasing outside and escaped. In order to save his family, Feng Jiusheng secretly came to Chen Jiachong and wanted to ask for help from the head of the Chen family. However, he and Chen Deshang had never met before, and He Letang had no contact with the Chen family's shop. It would definitely not be possible to go directly to the Chen family.

At this time, Xu Changqing's mother committed suicide by hanging a beam in the inn where he lived. Xu Changqing was rescued by the generation of Yizhuang owners who arrived later. However, Xu Changqing's qi and meridians were blocked at that time, and the acupoints were all sealed. If the Yizhuang owner had forced the Zhenyuan to open the meridians for him, and with the baby's fragile constitution, he would become a useless person even if he was saved. Seeing that a rare descendant's aura became weaker and weaker, the Yizhuang owner was naturally very angry. Feng Jiusheng, who was beside him, noticed that the Chen family was particularly respectful to the Yizhuang owners at that time, and thought it was an opportunity. So he presented the jade calamus he had collected for a lot of money to save Xu Changqing.

Acorus has the effect of opening orifices and urinating veins, regulating qi and promoting blood circulation. Jade Acorus is a magical object in calories, and even in the world of cultivation, it is rare to see it. Under the influence of the medicinal power of Jade Acorus, Xu Changqing naturally saved his life. Later, Xu Changqing's cultivation level was able to steadily increase at an extremely fast speed, which was also related to the Jade Acorus at that time. Afterwards, Feng Jiusheng's affairs were solved by Chen Deshang as he wished, and he also received a large amount of thanks from the Chen family. But because he was afraid of encountering such a thing again, he decided to move his family south, settle down in Southeast Asia, and used the money to open a Heletang business.

Although Feng Jiusheng's motive at that time was not aimed at Xu Changqing, it was a fact after all that he saved Xu Changqing's life. The most important thing is to be done by the practitioners. Revenge must be repaid, and kindness must be paid, otherwise there will be gaps in the path of cultivation. Xu Changqing also got details from his master when he was rescued, so he was extremely grateful to Feng Jiusheng and He Letang. Although he could not go directly to Southeast Asia to repay his kindness, he still paid attention to He Letang's movements from time to time, allowing the Chen family to help He Letang's business. It was precisely because of the Chen family's help that He Letang became one of the top Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia.
