Zhang Jingping dominated the underground forces in the south of the city. Some people called him Dragon Head or Great Dragon Head. Only a handful of people like Cai Bida, who called him a warrior, could be counted on one's fingers.
Zhang Jingping didn't say anything. He said, "Shopkeeper Cai, may I know why you've come to my place today?"
Cai Bida said, "I hope Warrior Zhang can deal with some people on behalf of the Crown Prince's residence. Of course, don't worry. I'll pay you accordingly. In short, I won't let you come here for nothing. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Who are you going to deal with?"
Cai Bida said, "You're going to deal with the Number One Tea Shop in the south of the city. Lin Changhe, Qiu Tong, Xiao Misheng, and the others in this branch had betrayed the Crown Prince and intended to go against him. They were really audacious. What do you think, Warrior Zhang? "
Zhang Jingping's eyes turned.
He was thinking quickly.
Zhang Jingping could not afford to offend the Eastern Palace. However, Zhang Jingping also knew that this World's Number One Tea Shop had Du Qi's backing. Especially for a literary giant like Du Qi, Zhang Jingping respected him greatly.
Zhang Jingping liked Guan Yu from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He was loyal and courageous. That was his life's goal.
Zhang Jingping thought for a while and came up with an idea. As a tyrant in the south of the city, Zhang Jingping was not only ruthless, but also resourceful. In fact, he knew how to handle things.
Regardless of whether it was the government or the Rangers, he was confident that he could deal with them.
It was because of this that he was able to secure his position.
Zhang Jingping said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Cai. I won't shirk from this. Since you've said so, I'll arrange for someone to go in the next two days. Hmm, I'll go personally. What do you think, Shopkeeper Cai? "
Cai Bida smiled when he heard this.
He was finally at ease.
Cai Bida clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Warrior Zhang. I'll arrange for someone to send the money over when I get back. I won't mistreat you in terms of money. "
Zhang Jingping said seriously, "No need. It's my honor to have the opportunity to work for the Crown Prince. I don't need money for this matter, so there's no need for Shopkeeper Cai to pay me. "
Cai Bida said, "How can that be? It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!"
Zhang Jingping said, "What's wrong with that? It's settled then."
Cai Bida was overjoyed in his heart, but he put on a grateful look on his face and said, "Hero Zhang's righteousness is as high as the clouds. Cai Bida thanks you here. I'll tell His Highness the Crown Prince about Zhang Ruochen's righteous deed. "
Zhang Jingping said, "Thank you."
He didn't really take Cai Bida's gratitude to heart. Because under the current circumstances, it would be good if they could avoid offending the Eastern Palace.
Cai Bida said, "Warrior Zhang, please take care of Lin Changhe and the others."
"It's fine, it's fine!"
Zhang Jingping replied with a smile.
Cai Bida said a few more polite words and then turned to leave. Zhang Jingping looked at Cai Bida's departing figure with a brilliant smile on his face. He ordered, "Men!"
A Wanderer entered and stood respectfully below. Zhang Jingping quickly wrote a letter, sealed it, and handed it to the Wanderer. He said, "Go to the Du Family immediately and personally hand this letter to Young Master Du Qi, understand?"
"Understood!"
The Wanderer replied firmly.
Zhang Jingping waved his hand, and the Wanderer turned and left.
… …
Back courtyard of the Du Family.
Du Qi had finished his business and returned to the back courtyard to avoid the summer heat. He hid in the house with Mordor fanning himself and iced water to drink. Especially since it was June, there were even peaches to eat.
After soaking these fruits in iced water and chilling them for a while, they had a special flavor.
As Du Qi drank the iced water, Liu Jian came in and asked, "Young Master, there's someone outside the residence. He says he's here on orders to report to you. I asked what it was, but he insisted on seeing you before he was willing to speak. However, he did reveal his identity. He's a Wanderer from the south of the city. He's here on orders from Zhang Jingping. "
When Du Qi heard this, he nodded.
He knew Zhang Jingping. He was the tyrant of the south of the city. Among the Wanderers of the south of the city, he was extremely prestigious. Many people who opened shops had to inform Zhang Jingping first, which was equivalent to paying respects to him.
Du Qi ordered, "Invite him in!"
Liu Jian went to inform him. Not long after, the Wanderer came in and bowed respectfully to Du Qi. The Wanderer also liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Now that he saw Du Qi, it was as if he had seen his idol. He was extremely excited.
He said respectfully, "Young Master Du, I'm here on orders from the Supreme Chief to deliver this letter to you."
After saying that, the Wanderer handed over the letter.
Du Qi took the letter and quickly skimmed through it. When he saw the news in the letter, a bright smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect Zhang Jingping to be so good at using money and power.
Cai Bida had asked Zhang Jingping to disturb the tea shops in the south of the city and even make it impossible for Lin Changhe and the others to continue their business. However, Zhang Jingping did not want to offend Du Qi. In the letter, he mentioned the time he would go and asked Du Qi to be at the tea shop at the same time.
At that time, Zhang Jingping would leave as soon as he saw Du Qi. In this way, Zhang Jingping would complete Cai Bida's task. He would report to the East Palace and ensure that Du Qi's tea shop would not be affected.
This was Zhang Jingping's arrangement.
Du Qi said seriously, "I know. Go back and tell the Supreme Chief that Du Qi appreciates his kindness. When Du Qi is free, he will go to the south of the city personally to thank the Supreme Chief for his kindness.
When the Wanderer heard that, he said excitedly, "Young Master Du, I'll go back and tell the Supreme Chief immediately. The Supreme Chief has always respected Young Master Du. He often said that he was born lowly and did not dare to visit Young Master. He only regretted that he did not have the chance to meet Young Master Du. When the Supreme Chief learns that Young Master Du is going, he will be very excited. "
Du Qi nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
The Wanderer turned and left.
Du Qi's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression. He did not expect that Cai Bida had already made a move. However, what Cai Bida did not expect was that Zhang Jingping had already informed Du Qi after he asked Zhang Jingping to make a move.
The time that Zhang Jingping informed him was tomorrow afternoon, close to 5 pm.
At that time, Du Qi only needed to go in advance.
However, Du Qi was thinking in his heart. Because Cai Bida made a move, it was equivalent to the East Palace making a move. Now that things had developed to this point, he definitely needed to guard against the East Palace.
However, today, Du Qi had not yet entered the palace. He still needed to go to the palace to see Li Yuan.
This matter could be manipulated.
Du Qi pondered in his heart. After a while, he already had an idea in his heart. Since the East Palace could not hold back and wanted to make a move, he would use this opportunity to use Li Yuan to beat Li Jiancheng, so that Li Jiancheng would not be so bold to make a move.
