Chapter 74 Money Rat and Muzhou
Chapter 74 Money Rat and Muzhou
"It seems like Lei Tang is having a tough time lately."
I haven't followed any news about Lei Tang for a while.
It's obvious that if news of him publicly eliminating his own men got out, even if he could still sit in the leader's position, he wouldn't be able to sit securely.
Lei Yushan's actions indicate that he has recognized his own rise to prominence and wants to invest in him.
It's not surprising.
Putting aside the fact that Lei Yushan is a businessman, he would certainly not put all his eggs in one basket with Lei Tang for the sake of the bank's development.
The letter didn't mention Lei Yan, but only expressed the hope that Ye Tian could come to the mansion for a visit.
"..."
Stroking the envelope in his hand, Ye Tian's eyes flashed with thoughts.
Originally, Ye Tian returned first with the intention of having Xiao Cao kill Sen Lao, that reckless bastard.
I originally intended to wait for him to abdicate while he was still alive, but since he no longer wants to live, then let's bury him.
But Lei Yushan's letter gave Ye Tian another idea. It was not safe to have Xiaocao do it herself, so perhaps he could use someone else to do the dirty work.
"?"
Seeing Ye Tian talking to himself, seemingly lost in thought, Xiao Cao looked up curiously.
"It's nothing."
Pulling himself back to reality, Ye Tian smiled and raised his hand to cover Xiao Cao's head.
"Prepare these days, it might come in handy sometime."
Although he had the idea of using someone else to do his dirty work, Ye Tian also knew that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket, and having an alternative plan was always a good idea.
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Cao didn't hesitate, and didn't even ask Ye Tian what he wanted her to do.
He nodded vigorously.
For Xiaocao, being able to do things for Ye Tian was enough; as for what those things were, she didn't care at all.
"Big brother!"
At this time.
Mei Yongning has already returned from Jin Feng Lou. The banquet can be arranged simply by notifying people; it's not the first time such an event has been held, so there's no need for Mei Yongning to be on the sidelines the whole time.
So after giving his instructions, Mei Yongning rushed over here.
"What are these?"
Similarly, after seeing the chests of gold and silver in the yard.
Mei Yongning was also taken aback, and his steps became somewhat hesitant.
"Take a look!"
Ye Tian did not hide anything from Mei Yongning.
He naturally handed over the envelope.
This gesture of trust deeply moved Mei Yongning, who then carefully read the contents of the letter.
"Is Lei Yushan trying to bribe his elder brother?"
With Mei Yongning's intelligence, he quickly figured something out.
"Lei Ji Money Shop was able to develop entirely because of Lei Tang's influence. Now that Lei Tang is declining, Lei Yushan is looking for a new backer for Lei Ji Money Shop."
Ye Tian felt it was a pity; he hadn't expected the money shop to be so wealthy.
There were too few when we tied the thunderbolts before.
"What are you planning to do, brother?"
Actually, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not. Ye Tian has already passed the stage of being short of money. But if it's free, why not take it?
Mei Yongning looked up curiously.
"Yes, of course I'll go."
Ye Tian suddenly laughed.
"I was just wondering how to deal with Senlao, and now someone has delivered a solution right to my doorstep."
Mori-lao?
What does going to see Lei Yushan have to do with dealing with Sen Lao?
Before Mei Yongning could voice his doubts, Ye Tian continued.
"Have someone secretly spread the news that I went to see Lei Yushan and that Lei Yushan paid money to bribe me to Lei Tang's ears."
"Um?"
Mei Yongning was a smart man. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he immediately understood Ye Tian's purpose in doing so.
His eyes were incredibly bright.
"I see, as expected of the eldest brother."
Such a psychological warfare tactic is something few in the martial arts world could come up with.
He waved his hand.
Ignoring Mei Yongning's praise, Ye Tian spoke directly.
"Remember, this must be done secretly. You must never let anyone know that I'm the one who spread this information."
"clear!"
It was a bit difficult, but Mei Yongning nodded firmly nonetheless.
"Brother, why don't you let me handle this?"
Just then, a sharp sound rang out.
The sudden sound made everyone instinctively look up, only to see a short man standing on the eaves of a house not far away.
"Who goes there!"
This way of making an entrance immediately put Mei Yongning and his group on guard.
"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, I'm one of us."
Upon seeing this, the other party waved his hands repeatedly, lightly jumped down from the roof, and removed the mask from his face.
With the mustache on both sides of his mouth, he looked like a monkey with a pointed mouth and cheeks. Coupled with his unusual physique, he didn't even seem as tall as a blade of grass.
"I am Money Rat, greetings to all of you."
After introducing himself, Money Rat immediately looked at Ye Tian.
"Big brother, I've finally found you!"
Ye Tian suddenly remembered the reward he received when he agreed to the fistfight.
Two mid-level die-hards, ten low-level die-hards, this money rat is probably one of the two mid-level die-hards.
"Where are the people who came with you?"
"As expected, my brother was right. I arrived first because I was fast. They are a bit slower, but they should be here soon."
The money rat first praised Ye Tian before explaining.
Sure enough, a knock came from outside the courtyard the next moment.
He waved to Mei Yongning and the others, indicating that they didn't need to worry, and then told Xiaocao to open the door.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!"
"..."
They all had the same burning gaze.
Besides the ten junior loyalists, there was also an older man.
"call!"
She looked like she had walked too much, and was even a little out of breath. After catching her breath for a while, she spoke to Ye Tian.
"This old man is Mu Zhou, greetings to my elder brother."
"..."
It's one thing for others to call you "Big Brother," but you look like you're in your seventies or eighties. Ye Tian's expression became somewhat indescribable.
Mu Zhou is the oldest die-hard fan Ye Tian has ever encountered.
"Ahem, forget about calling me 'elder brother,' just call me 'young master.'"
"Young Master!"
Mu Zhou had no objections and immediately bowed respectfully with his hands clasped.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Tian suddenly noticed that Mu Zhou was carrying a medicine box on his back. At his age, he was still carrying such a box. No wonder he couldn't walk fast.
"Young master, this is my personal medicine chest. I was originally just an ordinary barefoot doctor. I was fortunate to receive your kindness and food back then. Otherwise, I would have starved to death long ago. If you don't mind, I am willing to follow you."
"Of course not, not at all!"
Barefoot doctor?
Ye Tian's eyes lit up after hearing this.
The money has been withdrawn.
You know, doctors are always a scarce commodity, no matter what era it is. Although we don't know the specifics of Mu Zhou's medical skills, since he is a mid-level loyalist, he must not be too bad.
"And who are you?"
Ye Tian turned his head again and looked at the money rat.
"Brother, I don't have any special skills. I only know a few tricks of martial arts. I'm good at stealing things, but I'm really not good at fighting. I hope you won't find me lacking."
