Chapter 492: House Renovation
The old robber looked at Li Cheng and suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I'll help you once. In fact, I still have a property at the entrance of Baxiang. I left this property for Xiaoyi. If one day I can't move, Xiaoyi can go to the entrance of Baxiang to live. At least he doesn't have to worry about being bullied there. Now that the house is so useful to you, I'll give that house to you."
When Li Cheng heard the old robber saying this, he was stunned. Then he immediately shook his head and said, "No, Uncle robber, I can't want your house. That house is yours, I can't want it."
The old robber looked at Li Cheng and said in a deep voice: "The property I gave you was not for free. I have a request. If one day I am gone and you are still alive, or your Four Righteous Gangs still exist, I want you and your Four Righteous Gangs to protect Xiaoyi and ensure Xiaoyi's safety, and you cannot force Xiaoyi to join the Four Righteous Gangs unless Xiaoyi voluntarily."
When Li Cheng heard the old robber saying this, he was stunned. Then he looked at the old robber and nodded slowly and said, "Okay, Uncle Robbery, I remember what you said. As long as I, Li Cheng, are not dead, as long as the Four Righteous Gangs exist, our Four Righteous Gangs will definitely protect Xiaoyi's safety. If Xiaoyi is unwilling, we will never force Xiaoyi to join the Four Righteous Gangs. We absolutely will not. Please rest assured Uncle Robbery."
The old robber nodded, then waved his hand and a piece of paper appeared in the hand of the old robber. The old man handed the paper to Li Cheng and turned around and left.
Li Cheng took the paper given to him by the old robber, looked at the address above, and couldn't help but be stunned. The address given to Li Cheng by the old robber was actually a good location at the entrance of the Ballway. Li Cheng had seen that house before. It was just an ordinary house, but the location was very good and suitable for business. He originally wanted to buy the house, but later he found that there was a jade sign hanging outside the house, which meant that his master was in seclusion, so Li Cheng naturally couldn't bother him, so the matter was left unresolved.
But he didn't expect that the house was handed over to him now, and in this way, Li Cheng was really happy, and he was also grateful to the old robber.
He didn't know the real name of the old robber. In fact, you can't know the names of many old people living in Shiguxiang. Their names have long been forgotten. What they have now is just a code name.
The nickname of Old Robber is actually because of his appearance. Old Robberer is really afraid of people. He has practiced to the level of his cultivation, and such injuries should have been cured long ago. However, it is obvious that the person who injured him back then was not a weak person, so his injuries have never been cured. In the end, although they were healed, the meridians there were completely destroyed, leaving terrifying scars.
It is precisely because of his appearance that he has the name of Old Robber, but anyone who knows him knows that he is a hard-faced and soft-hearted person. His strength is very strong, but his heart is very soft.
When Li Cheng lived in Shiguxiang, he had been living in the Return Hotel, so he was very familiar with the Return Hotel and had a good relationship with the old robber, but he did not expect that one day the old robber would give him such a good house.
However, Li Cheng also knew that he would not thank the great kindness. He wanted to repay the old robber, so he could just use more actions to prove it in the future, and he didn't have to talk about it.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng immediately put away the deed, then turned to everyone and said, "Okay, now that the house is available, let's go and renovate the house first, and leave."
The others were also very happy and immediately followed Li Cheng out. Zhongyi quickly arrived at the entrance of Lane 8 and found the house. Although this house was an ordinary private house, it covers a large area. There were two large yards in front and back, three houses in the middle, one main house, plus the left and right wing rooms.
Li Cheng and the others came to this yard and looked around. The yard was still very good and large enough. Li Cheng immediately said to others: "You will leave the city immediately and pick more stones and wood. We will build a storefront in front to do business. I will go to Bahuan City to report now. If we don't report, our store will not be able to open."
The other people responded immediately, then turned around and left, and Li Cheng also turned around and left the yard and walked straight towards the Bahuan City.
The location of Eight Fantasy City is in the center of Baxiangkou. This is a city in the city. To be precise, it is a castle-like building. It looks very beautiful from the outside, but few people know what it looks like inside, because few people can enter Eight Fantasy City.
Although there is no moat outside the Eight Fantasy City, there is still a city wall. There is also a row of houses outside the city wall. That row of houses is the service location of Eight Fantasy City. Anyone who has any problems here at the Eight Alleys can come here to report, and Eight Fantasy City will come forward to deal with it.
Li Cheng has been in Wangyue City for quite some time, so he naturally knows the situation in Bahuan City, so he came to the row of houses with familiarity and looked at the row of houses, and found that there were no obvious prompts outside the row of houses, so he didn't read them and went straight into a room.
There is a very long bar in this room. Five monks sat behind the bar. These five monks were all wearing ordinary gray monk uniforms. They were not very strong and did not look too arrogant on their faces.
Li Cheng did not dare to neglect, so he immediately bowed to the monks and said, "Hello everyone, here is the owner of the yard of No. 57 Jiazi Street. I want to open a restaurant in No. 57 Courtyard. I don't know if it's OK?"
One of the monks looked at Li Cheng and smiled and said, "Sir, please come here to speak. I remember that it is an old man's property, right? Why did it become yours?"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "It was given to me by the old man. I had some friendship with that old man and wanted to do business in Wangyue City. There are not many places in Wangyue City that can make people feel at ease in business. Baxiangkou is the most suitable place, so I wanted to do business here at Baxiangkou. Unfortunately, I didn't find a house before. Later, my uncle Shi gave me his house, which was the No. 57 Courtyard of Jiazi Street. However, that yard is only suitable for people. If you want to build a restaurant, you have to renovate it, so I want to come here to report."
The monk nodded and said, "So that's the case. Yes, you can do business in that house, but you should also know that in Wangyue City, doing business is the same as establishing a force. If you have to hand over 10,000 jade spirits to our Eight Fantasy City every year, we won't care what you do in the No. 57 Courtyard, but even if you want to develop your own power, the number of people in your power cannot exceed 100, at least there cannot be 100 people in the No. 57 Courtyard, do you understand?"
Li Cheng immediately said, "Yes, I understand. Please don't worry, sir, I won't do anything he can do."
The monk nodded and then said in a deep voice: "Very good, just understand. As long as you do business at the entrance of the alley and do not cause trouble, we will not care about you. But if you dare to attack others on your own initiative, we will never let you go if we know."
Li Cheng hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry. No, I'm honest, I'm really building a force. You should also know that without a force in Wangyue City, you can't make it at all. However, we just want to guard our own industry and don't want to cause trouble. Please don't worry."
The monk nodded and said, "It's good that you know. You'll pay ten thousand jade spirits now. I'll pay them at this time tomorrow. If someone causes trouble for you this year, you can report them to us and we will help you solve them."
Li Cheng nodded, took out a space bag and handed it to the monk and said, "This is ten thousand jade spirits, please keep it."
The monk took the space bag, looked in his mind, then nodded, and then he took out a jade token and gave it to Li Cheng: "Hold this jade token. If the people from the Eight Fantasy City go there to find you in the future, you can just take out the jade token and show him." Li Cheng responded, the monk waved his hand, and Li Cheng turned around and left.
When he returned to the yard, he found that the others had not come back yet. Li Cheng glanced around and then recalled the restaurant that Zhao Hai asked him to build. He started to take action, demolished all the walls on one side of the yard and then began to use magic to dig the foundation. He was a monk in the teleportation realm. It didn't take long for the foundation to be dug, and the others also came back. As soon as those people came back, they immediately understood what Li Cheng meant. It seemed that there was absolutely no problem in building a store. Those people were also very happy. One of them immediately directed everyone to start building a house.
The person who directed everyone to build a house was Wu Yun, and this person was also teleportation state. Of course, he was selected by Zhao Hai. In addition to being very reliable, he was also because he was a good architect. In fact, the ten people selected by Zhao Hai each had their own strengths. Wu Yun was an architect. Among these people, there was an alchemist, a weapon refiner, and one was more proficient in formation. Although the things they knew were not the top in the Four Ethical Gang, it was OK to use them here.
The monks built houses very quickly, but the houses built by Li Yun and the others were still a little troublesome. Before Wu Yun came to Wangyuexing, he received Zhao Hai's instructions. Under the houses they built, there was a magic circle, so they built houses not very fast. A day passed, but the foundation had just been laid.
In the evening, Li Yun and the others returned to the Return Hotel to rest. Li Yun originally wanted to invite the old robber to have a glass of wine and thank him, but the old robber did not agree. Although Li Yun was a little disappointed, he couldn't say anything.
