Fan Ji suppressed the entire bandit den with force. Although everyone obeyed on the surface, they all had their own ulterior motives in their hearts. It was absolutely impossible for them to truly submit to him.
Over the past half month, Chu Mu has pretty much figured out the temperaments of these bandits.
People like Bucktooth ran away overnight when Chu Mu squandered his money and forced them to drink rice soup.
The rest of the people are just heartless bandits. To say they are good people is definitely not the case.
If you say that they are unforgivable criminals, that's not the case.
The world is in such a mess today that we can no longer judge people simply by good or evil.
Chu Mu decided to give them a chance.
As long as they are willing to follow faithfully, we will give them some benefits.
Of course, the premise of all this is that these bandits can truly submit.
This requires strength to speak.
Chu Mu's promise was that he would earn enough money in one day to cover the entire mansion's food expenses for a month.
This sounded like bragging, and the bandits certainly didn't believe it.
As soon as the sky was getting light, the group of bandits followed Chu Mu out of the house.
Chu Mu and Fan Ji walked in front, and they followed behind.
Taiping Town has no distinction between east, south, west and north, and is only distributed according to the Tai Chi Bagua, which is called the Two Principles and Four Symbols.
The Simu Escort Agency is located in Zhuquefang, Taiping Town.
After more than half a month of unrestrained spending, Chu Mu almost traveled around the entire Suzaku area.
As soon as he left the house and reached the street corner, people came up to him and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you want to go to Yipinxiang to eat some pastries today? The new walnut pastries are delicious."
——This is the guy from Yipinxiang Teahouse who came to solicit business.
"Master Chu, I've managed to get the red sandalwood kettle you mentioned last time. Would you like to take a look and see if you like it?"
——This is the shopkeeper who sells porcelain.
"Master Chu, Master Chu..."
A group of people were scrambling to push forward, almost squeezing Chu Mu to move.
Fan Ji walked steadily. No matter how the crowd pushed him, he always stayed by Chu Mu's side, preventing anyone from actually touching him.
Under the big camphor tree at the corner of the street, two inconspicuous guys were looking straight at the crowd.
But he was not looking at Chu Mu, but staring at Fan Ji.
"Are you sure it's him?"
"Yes, look at his face, he looks almost exactly like the Third Master."
"Zhou Jiawu said he wanted to come to town for refuge, but everyone on the boat died in the water. How come he didn't die?"
"I heard from the Shunfeng Escort Agency that this kid has some skills and can play with fire."
"Tsk, forget it. He's a useless guy born with a Yin body. What else can he do besides feeding the ghost? Playing with fire? That's the Zhengyang School's Kung Fu. Can he practice it?"
"Since the rumor has spread, it can't be groundless. Let's go and take a look."
The two men quietly slipped into the crowd and blended in perfectly with the businessmen who wanted to make a killing.
Chu Mu seemed to know nothing. He pressed his brows and acted impatiently: "Enough, enough, I'm not here to buy anything today."
"Don't want to buy? It's okay if you don't want to buy. You can just go and have a look. We have new clothing patterns in our shop. That ink-dyed green bamboo pattern looks perfect for you, young master!"
"Then I really have to go and take a look," Chu Mu waved his sleeves, "but I have some work to finish first, so you wait here."
The old man first agreed with a smile, then asked curiously: "Mr. Chu, do you still need to work?"
Chu Mu glanced at him and said, "If I don't work, where will the money come from for you to kill me?"
"Uh..." The old man was stunned and smiled awkwardly.
Someone else asked, "Mr. Chu, what kind of work do you do?"
"The business of an escort agency is naturally to deliver escorts." Chu Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking arrogant.
"Master Chu, you don't know, you can do anything to make a living in Taiping Town, except running this escort agency."
The person who was speaking had a shifty look in his eyes, and he kept looking at Chu Mu while he was talking.
"Young Master, are you running out of money and looking for a new business? Well, let me tell you something. With your looks, you'll definitely make more money working for the Maple Moon Pavilion in the Qinglong faction than running an escort agency."
Fengyue Pavilion is in the flesh trade. This person may smile heartlessly on the surface, but his words are actually full of thorns.
Chu Mu's expression remained unchanged, but Fan Ji on the side was the first to start trouble.
He grabbed the man's wrist, pulled and bent it, and broke his arm.
“Ahhhh—”
A scream suddenly rang out, and the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
The escort agency bandits following behind were somewhat gloating: We told you to laugh at us. We told you that this guy is a wolf who eats people without leaving any bones, but you just don’t believe it!
Fan Ji had never fought in front of outsiders, and Chu Mu was very generous in spending money, so no one thought they were any kind of vicious monsters.
Fan Ji's attack was ruthless and brutal, comparable to those of the desperate criminals.
However, he was still just a teenager.
When Fan Ji was with Chu Mu, he was a handsome, silent boy, harmless and simple.
Most people in the town thought he was Chu Mu's follower, but when someone offended Chu Mu with words, the young boy showed a ferocity far beyond his age.
"Let me introduce him again," Chu Mu said, breaking the silence of the crowd. "This is the boss of our escort agency. If you want to do business in the future, just look for him."
This time, no one in the crowd responded.
"Oh, by the way," Chu Mu said with a smile, "Our escort agency doesn't just take ordinary escorts. If you have any goods to send to the strange land, or if you want to go to the strange land to pick something up, you can contact us."
"Huh?"
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Chu, Master Chu...are you going to use the Ghost Dart?"
There are also people who run ghost escorts in Taiping Town, but they are all from the Fan family.
"That's right," Chu Mu admitted, "We're new here, and I hope everyone can take care of us."
The noisy crowd quieted down again.
This time, even though no one spoke, Chu Mu understood what they meant.
The Fan family had monopolized all the ghost escort business in Taiping Town. Suddenly, a stranger whose name had never been heard of appeared out of nowhere. Even if no one said it out loud, they were definitely distrustful in their hearts.
"Aji, what is our business today?" Chu Mu deliberately asked Fan Ji.
"Salvage the Zhoujiawu shipwreck and retrieve Pingniang's luggage."
All the people on the Zhoujiawu boat died, and their bodies sank into the Songhua River along with the boat.
As Pingniang is the only survivor of Zhoujiawu, who knows whether there are any of her things on the ship?
Chu Mu had no choice but to say whatever he wanted.
"The shipwreck at Zhoujiawu? You can't go there, young master," the old friend who had previously invited Chu Muqian to see the clothing patterns said nervously, "The masters from Fanjiabao went there a few days ago and all died in the Songhua River!"
