"Young friend Chengfeng is not someone who is easily carried away by the benefits. He is cautious enough, but it is better to be cautious. Only by being cautious can you live longer."
When Zheng Pandao heard that Li Chengfeng, a warrior who really had no background at all, heard the vague conditions of his promise, he was not dazzled by the benefits and immediately chose to agree and asked this question first.
And seeing that he looked like he wouldn't let go until he saw the truth, he suddenly looked surprised and couldn't help but smile.
"I come from a humble background, and only by being cautious can I get to where I am today. I'm used to it, and it makes me laugh at Master Zheng."
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but respond with a smile and cupped fists.
"Hahaha, yes, if you want to truly live well in this world and truly climb the peak of martial arts, you must not only have force, but also have brains. Otherwise, you will not live long."
When Zheng Pandao heard Li Chengfeng's words, he immediately smiled. He couldn't help but nodded in agreement and spoke. As he spoke, he took another sip of tea and looked at him seriously.
"I, Zheng Pandao, came here sincerely. At this time, little friend Chengfeng actually asked, so naturally I stopped beating around the bush, otherwise it will inevitably affect future cooperation and cause suspicion."
After Zheng Pandao finished speaking, he spoke directly to Li Chengfeng, "If little friend Chengfeng is willing to cooperate with me, Mr. Zheng, on this matter, then we need to clarify the area where Mr. Zheng breeds Treasure Fish and patrol it at a fixed time and place."
"During the patrol, no matter what happens, no gems will be stolen, or someone will enrich their own pockets and pocket the gems privately."
"Whatever happens outside of patrol time has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to worry."
"If you are injured during the patrol, no matter what the injury is, I, Zheng, am willing to do my best to treat you and restore your injuries to the greatest extent possible."
"During patrol, if you encounter a strong person who robs you and you are unable to stop him, you only need to send a quick message and report, and you do not need to bear any responsibility."
"If you encounter someone with shrewd means quietly stealing Treasure Fish, you only need to keep checking every day, and you will be informed in time, so that you can strengthen the patrol force and reduce losses, and you don't need to bear any responsibility."
"There is only one crime, and that is the crime of knowingly failing to stop it!"
"If during patrol, there is clearly a way to stop the person who steals Treasure Fish or robs Treasure Fish, but fails to stop it, then no matter how many Treasure Fish are stolen, you will have to bear double the punishment!"
"But in addition, if it is found that someone has enriched his own pocket, whether it is Qinghe Gang's people or my Zheng Family's people, there is no need to be merciful. They can be captured on the spot and taken to the house. It is up to me to decide!"
"Every time you encounter this kind of self-financing moth behavior and successfully clean it up, I, Mr. Zheng, will give you a double reward for how much corruption you have!"
Zheng Pandao spoke eloquently, with a serious look on his face. As he spoke, he took out two pieces of paper filled with text from his waist and showed them to Li Chengfeng:
"There is no proof for what you say. The details are all written in this deed. If Brother Chengfeng is willing, you can sign and pledge it. Let's go to the Martial Hall together and ask the adults in the Martial Hall to testify. We will use the contents of the deed as a basis to bind you and me to act!"
What Zheng Pandao said made Li Chengfeng slightly moved. When he saw him taking out these two deeds, he couldn't help but pick them up and look at them carefully, and found that they were exactly the same as what he just said.
The meaning of the text is clear, and there is no possibility of any word games hiding it.
The contents of the two deeds are also exactly the same.
Suddenly his eyebrows raised, he couldn't help but look at Zheng Pandao, and clasped his fists at him:
"Master Zheng is really determined to achieve something, Zeng Feng admires it, but I don't know when this patrol will start?"
Zeng Feng asked sincerely, and Zheng Pandao smiled when he heard this, "This matter is naturally not an urgent matter."
"It is now scheduled to start on the first day of March. If you want to go, you only need to reply to me within three days. By then, I will also be able to arrange for you to go with Lian Qing."
"Okay, thank you Master Zheng for being willing to give Chengfeng such an opportunity. Chengfeng will definitely give Master Zheng a clear answer before the afternoon of tomorrow!"
When Li Chengfeng heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and spoke to Zheng Pandao seriously.
"Okay, Zheng will be satisfied if he can get this from little friend Chengfeng."
Zheng Pandao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up from the chair, clasped his fists at him and said, "My little friend's wife is registered in the register, and her name will be spread in Qingshan."
"Today is the first day of the first lunar month. I guess the forces outside who are requesting affiliation are eagerly waiting at the entrance of the alley."
"It's better not to disturb Mr. Zheng too much, so I won't delay little friend Chengfeng here. If you are determined to form an alliance, just send someone to look for me on Zheng Estate within three days. I will ask my subordinates to hold the door open for you."
"Master Zheng walk slowly, thank you for giving the juniors the opportunity!"
Li Chengfeng immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and spoke politely.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of cooperation between you and me."
Zheng Pandao smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and left with Zheng Lianqing.
When Zheng Lianqing walked to the courtyard gate, he turned around and hugged Li Chengfeng with his fists:
"It is said that enemies are easy to resolve but not easy to make. We, the warriors, also have a saying that we cannot get to know each other without fighting. We had some misunderstandings and some conflicts with the Chengfeng brothers. Fortunately, it did not lead to a big mistake. I hope you don't blame me."
"Hahaha, these little things are nothing to worry about. Brother Lian Qing is so polite!"
Li Chengfeng laughed and clasped his fists at him in response. Zheng Lianqing showed a smile on his face and called out to him. Then, with Zheng Pandao's smile on his face, and with Li Chengfeng seeing him off, they left the door of his courtyard together.
"Huh~"
Li Chengfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, watching Zheng Pandao and Zheng Lianqing disappear, his eyes narrowed involuntarily:
"It is a good job to guard the lake against internal and external thieves."
Li Chengfeng thought in his mind, then looked at the piece of paper deed left by Zheng Pandao in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and put it away cautiously.
"It's better to wait for Zhao Lie to come and discuss it together. It's not advisable to make a premature decision."
A thought flashed through Li Chengfeng's mind, and he was about to turn around when he saw from a distance in the alleyway where he had just left Zheng Pandao, a group of female shopkeepers, neatly dressed and walking toward the entrance of his hospital with smiles on their faces.
He immediately raised his eyebrows and paused at the door. Suddenly he saw these people stopping at the door and all saluting him.
"I have met Mr. Li. I wonder if your wife, Mrs. Liu, is here. We are some shopkeepers in the city who do women's work. We know that our family has a heroine, so we came here to pay a special visit. I beg Mrs. Liu to support me!"
A woman with an oval face and a plump figure walked out of the female shopkeeper, walked slowly to Li Chengfeng, bowed Yingying, and spoke to him with flashing eyes:
"Each of us is willing to donate 50 taels of silver and ask Mrs. Liu for your blessing!"
"Oh? Looking for my wife?"
Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face. When he looked back, he saw Liu Yuniang opening the door to the back room with a smile on his face. He had already heard the sound and walked out.
"Hey, it's Mrs. Liu!"
When the female shopkeepers saw Liu Yuniang coming out, their eyes lit up and they all spoke happily.
Li Chengfeng looked at Liu Yuniang, smiled slightly, and did not interfere in their affairs. Instead, he allowed Liu Yuniang to discuss with them, while he only listened from the side.
