Chapter 76: Reading the Newspaper



Hiding in your own home may seem safe, but this method does not work.

Because the turtle was in Suishenju, it meant that Li Banfeng was completely cut off from the outside world. This was worse than the turtle being in Yujiazhai. Li Banfeng, who had no idea of how the situation was developing, was unable to make effective preparations and responses. Unless he stayed in the house for the rest of his life, he might lose his life as soon as he went out.

If passive defense doesn't work, then we have to change our defense strategy.

Li Banfeng looked at the letter in his hand again: "Luyuan Inn, Xianle Dance Hall, Qingtang Teahouse, what are these places?"

Shopkeeper Feng said, "They are all businesses of Jiang Xiang Gang. They are all on this street, very close to Yu's cloth shop. I don't need to tell you about the inn and the teahouse. As for the dance hall, it is a place of singing and dancing."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "It's called Xianle, it seems to be a place for studying music."

"Music...how can I explain this?" Shopkeeper Feng was not sure how to explain it.

Li Banfeng took a sip of tea and said, "They might as well ambush directly inside the Yu family's cloth shop instead of lying in wait on this street."

"That won't do!" Shopkeeper Feng shook his head. If it was someone else who said such an unprofessional thing, Shopkeeper Feng wouldn't bother to explain. But Li Banfeng came from another state and didn't understand some of the rules.

"The purpose of Jiang Xiang's gang setting up an ambush is to deal with Shopkeeper Yu. If they send people to wait in Yu's cloth shop, there will be people coming in and out to take care of food and drink. If they find people coming in and out of the cloth shop, will Shopkeeper Yu be able to come back?"

Li Banfeng nodded. What Manager Feng said made sense. Yu Nan was very cautious and had spies in Ligou. If anyone went in or out of the cloth shop, she would definitely know.

Shopkeeper Feng added: "Although the Jiang Xiang Gang is vicious, it is still a gang after all, and there are at least some rules to follow.

They were helping Geng's pharmacy to avenge their crimes, not occupying Manager Yu's shop. Manager Yu was not around, so they took the opportunity to occupy the shop. In the underworld, this kind of thing is a bit unacceptable."

Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Li Banfeng asked another question: "Where is the rudder platform of the Second Rudder of the Medicine King Hall of Jiang Xiangbang?"

"The Tailai Casino on Yuanping Street is a large mansion that is easy to spot. You'd better avoid this place as well."

Li Banfeng nodded and gave Manager Feng five thousand yuan in cash.

Shopkeeper Feng waved his hand and said, "What are you doing? I was sorry to you before. I can't take your money for just this little information."

Just a little news?

That piece of letter paper is not expensive even at five thousand.

Shopkeeper Feng refused to accept it, so Li Banfeng stuffed it into Shopkeeper Feng's pocket: "Shopkeeper, I have something else to buy, this is the deposit."

"What would you like to buy?"

Li Banfeng whispered a few words into Shopkeeper Feng's ear.

Shopkeeper Feng frowned slightly and said, "Boss Li, this thing may not be useful in Pro Province, you should think carefully."

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Buy more and use more, there will always be something useful."

Even though Geng’s pharmacy is gone, Jiang Xiangbang still has no intention of stopping.

Now the fight begins again.

If you can beat them, fight them. If you can’t, run away.

Can we win this time?

Li Banfeng thinks he can win.

You have to choose your opponent first.

The martial arts level is too high, and it is not easy to fight hard.

Li Banfeng could not understand the principle behind this ascetic practice.

He fixed his eyes on Du Hongxi.

Nightmare Cultivator is a very suitable target.

After choosing the right opponent, you also have to use the right method.

This time, they will be hurt.

It hurt so much that they didn't dare to check on me again.

After leaving the grocery store, Li Banfeng lowered his hat and quickly left Paifang Street.

There was a noodle shop in Chaikou Alley. Li Banfeng ate two bowls of mutton noodles and was about to go back to his residence when he heard the childish voice of a newspaper boy: "Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper? The morning paper is 30 cents, and the evening paper is 50 cents."

Yaowanggou actually still sells evening papers.

The evening paper is printed later than the morning paper and contains newer news, so it is more expensive than the leftover morning paper.

Li Banfeng bought an evening newspaper. The headline of the news was "He and Lu fell out, but asked where to go?"

This is a story about the feud between the He family and the Lu family.

Li Banfeng took a quick look at the content of the news and was shocked.

The He family believes that Lu family's concubine Lu Xiaolan attacked He family's eldest son He Jiaqing. He Jiaqing is still receiving treatment in a hospital in another state.

The whereabouts of Lu Xiaolan, the concubine of the Lu family, is unknown. The Lu family denies the groundless accusations of the He family, and are still trying their best to find Lu Xiaolan, and promises to give an explanation to the He family.

It is true that He Jiaqing is lying in the hospital. The He family has already confirmed this, so Li Banfeng doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Lu Xiaolan is still missing and no one knows that she is in the He family's old house.

No one knows whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Lu Xiaolan?

In Li Banfeng's opinion, it's a good thing.

The Lu family wants to give an explanation to the He family. After finding Lu Xiaolan, they will most likely make her a scapegoat and let her live in the He family's old house. This may not be a bad result for Lu Xiaolan.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Li Banfeng?

That's a good thing too.

If Lu Xiaolan came out, the Lu family would probably come knocking on her door.

What surprised Li Banfeng was not only the news itself, but also the fact that as a news media that was eliminated more than ten years ago, newspapers still contained such a large amount of information.

The amount of information...

Seeing that the newspaper boy had not gone far, Li Banfeng rushed forward and called out, "I want a morning paper, too."

The newsboy was very happy. At this time, the morning paper was not selling well, so he quickly got a morning paper for Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng glanced through the morning paper. In addition to the news about the He and Lu families on the front page, he also saw some news about Geng's pharmacy.

"Geng's Pharmacy was reduced to scorched earth, and the mastermind behind the scenes gradually surfaced."

This is a news commentary. The commentator made inferences about the murderer who burned down Geng's house. Although the result was not confirmed, all aspects of the analysis pointed directly to the Yu family gang.

This was within Li Banfeng's expectations. Jiang Xiangbang was mentioned in the comments, and some even boldly speculated that Jiang Xiangbang would completely wipe out the Yu family within a month.

What is the background of the newspaper? Who supports it? Aren’t they afraid of the power of Jiang Xiangbang?

Li Banfeng found an advertisement for the Xianle Dance Hall in the newspaper.

Starting from tomorrow, Xianle Dance Theater will have a big sale for three consecutive days, with prices starting at 30% off.

The place where music was originally studied can also be discounted.

This is such a rare learning opportunity, you must go and see it.

The content of the morning paper was not much different from that of the evening paper, so Li Banfeng asked the newsboy, "Are there any earlier papers?"

The newsboy shook his head and said, "No more."

Li Banfeng asked again: "Do you know where I can buy old newspapers?"

"I know." The newsboy was holding a heavy stack of newspapers and was about to show Li Banfeng the way. Li Banfeng took out a twenty-yuan bill and handed it to the newsboy: "Take me there."

The newsboy was very happy and took Li Banfeng through two alleys and came to the door of a shop.

The shop sign read "Lu Family Bookstore". Li Banfeng entered the bookstore and saw the owner who was about to close the shop.

"Would you like to buy a book?" Boss Lu stepped forward to greet the guest.

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I'll buy a newspaper."

Boss Lu smiled and said, "I don't sell new newspapers here."

Li Banfeng said, "I'm buying old newspapers, Yaowanggou Evening News from the past three years. I want one a day."

"Three years of newspapers?" Boss Lu raised his eyebrows. This business is not small. "Boss, think about it. Old newspapers are more expensive than new ones."

He doesn't sell waste paper, he sells collectibles.

"Just name a price."

Boss Lu immediately quoted a price. This year's newspaper price doubled to one yuan a copy, last year's newspaper doubled again to two yuan a copy, and the year before last's newspaper went up even further to four yuan a copy, and the year before last it was eight yuan.

Li Banfeng did not hesitate and spent 5,350 yuan to buy all the newspapers from the past three and a half years.

They carried several large stacks of things in their hands and on their shoulders, found a deserted place, and delivered them to the residence.

After lighting a candle in the room, Li Banfeng began to read the newspapers one by one.

The newspaper published in Yaowanggou is divided into four pages. The first page is the big news in Prozhou. As the two major wealthy families in Prozhou, the fight between the He family and the Lu family is naturally on the front page of the news.

The second edition is the analysis of major news by major celebrities in Yaowanggou. There is a critic with the pen name "Ligou Madman" who tells the story of the feud between the He family and the Lu family across a century of history.

Li Banfeng discovered a word in this comment: the darkest age.

What exactly is the Dark Ages still needs further verification.

The third page of news is about Yaowanggou.

The fourth edition is a supplement, which contains many essays and serial novels by famous writers, as well as many advertisements.

Read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks, and sleep more.

This sentence is also very appropriate in Provo.

If Li Banfeng had read more newspapers, he wouldn't have been so cowardly in Prostate.

After reading the evening paper that day, Li Banfeng benefited a lot.

After flipping back three days, Li Banfeng found news about He Jiaqing again.

"The He family's legitimate son was attacked, and Lu family's relatives became blood debts."

The news of He Jiaqing's attack came a little late, but it occupied the entire front page of the newspaper.

It details news that cannot be read in other states, including the derailment of Train No. 1160 and the mysterious disappearance of He Jiaqing and Lu Xiaolan.

Li Banfeng continued to flip through the newspaper, wanting to check for more information, when he suddenly heard the record player start to play.

"Clang clang clang~

Raise a rooster that doesn't crow.

Raising a yellow dog but not guarding the house,

Marry a man who doesn't buy groceries.

It’s better to marry a living cuckold! "

Li Banfeng flew into a rage: "Shrew, who are you calling a cuckold?"

"Hey~ I'm almost starving to death, can't I just scold you?"

ps: Talk to Sala more, Sala has gone to buy groceries for you!
