Since he had to wait for someone, Jiang Fan chose to settle down temporarily.
Minzhou has been returned to Sima Jing, and there are soldiers patrolling everywhere, and they may be checked and sued at any time. Moreover, there had just been a war, and many shops in Minzhou were closed.
However, Jiang Fan discovered that Yuelai Company remained the same.
And he also checked into Yuelai Inn with some thoughts.
The only people staying there were him and the handsome old man Wenren Mingliu. Elder Wuhen and the others were too conspicuous, so they arranged a hidden pile of bliss nearby.
But the old handsome guy's long silvery white hair was too conspicuous, so Jiang Fan decided to dye it black regardless of his protests.
The old handsome guy was very dissatisfied, but when he looked in the mirror, he seemed to look younger, so he tolerated it.
Jiang Fan also sighed. This guy's hair was dyed black. He didn't look like a centenarian. He was only around thirty at most. How could he maintain it?
To this, the old handsome guy's answer was just one word - wine.
In his opinion, drinking alcohol is the best secret to health. Faced with Jiang Fan's doubts, he also expressed his theory.
Drinking can make you forget your worries, make you feel happy physically and mentally, and naturally prevent you from aging easily.
Jiang Fan had heard before that a certain substance would be secreted in the body when people were happy, which indeed had a great effect, so he gave it a thumbs up in agreement. No matter what, this guy is definitely a happy and handsome old guy.
Ever since, two equally handsome handsome guys, one old and one young, moved into Yuelai as father and son.
After moving in, Jiang Fan and the old handsome guy started to pay attention everywhere, but except for the cultivation level of everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiter, they didn't find anything else.
They were just running their business normally, and there was nothing weird about it at all.
The old handsome guy also found nothing. But after all, he knew Yuelai better than Jiang Fan did.
According to his introduction, I don’t know how long the Yuelai business has been around. Anyway, it seems that Yuelai has been around since there were inns and wine shops.
Its business scope covers inns, wine shops, teahouses, cloth shops, carriage shops, etc. The total number of shops is incalculable.
However, Yuelai Company has always been mainly focused on inns and wine shops. There are no less than 5,000 stores in these two categories, covering the five countries. It even has branches in foreign lands such as Western Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang. The scope of its business is really astonishing.
In addition, four of the eight major houses belong to the Yuelai store, and the ones not included are Taibaiju, Linjiangge, Bazhenfang, and Baiweiju.
Taibai Ju was also very interested in this huge business empire. Zhou Tiedan once sent thirty-sixth governor Lang to inquire about it, but no accurate information was obtained.
However, I did figure out the distribution system of Yuelai Company.
Strictly speaking, Yuelai's system has changed with historical changes. For example, in the past 150 years, they have divided their business scope into seven regions based on regions.
Qin, Chu, Wei, Xia, and Jin each occupied a region. Western Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang each occupy one area. There are seven domains in total. Each domain has a domain master and several deputy domain masters. These deputy domain masters are in charge of different areas in the domain.
The shopkeepers, accountants, waiters, etc. of each store are all external hires. They are all serious and well-educated people. It is very likely that they have no idea what kind of organization they belong to. It is precisely because of this that Yuelai Company has never been investigated behind the scenes.
Zhou Tiedan felt that there must be another force under the Territory Lord and Deputy Territory Lord as their control tool. The problem was that no clues had been found.
After years of hard work, Taibaiju only found one Territory Lord and more than twenty deputy Territory Lords.
This is not easy. An espionage agency like Paradise City only discovered three domain masters and sixty deputy domain masters.
Princess Jincheng once planned to capture one of the domain lords to see if she could find out what was behind it. But since the Yucheng Company had never been hostile to Ji Le, and did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, the idea was abandoned. Soon after, it was discovered that the three domain lords had disappeared, but their system had not been shaken at all. They must have noticed that there was a change of people.
The old handsome guy also mentioned something. After the Territory Lord was discovered by the Governor, not long after, the Territory Lord also disappeared, and most likely the person was replaced.
This not only shows that more and more companies are extremely well-informed, but also shows their caution, which can even be described as cautious.
At this time, Jiang Fan suddenly had a strange suspicion. Why didn't anyone from Yuelai show up when he was dealing with Huang Sanqi? Could it be that they knew that Cao Zijian had discovered Huang Sanqi's identity and defined him as an abandoned son?
In any case, it is obvious that such a complex, huge and astonishing organization cannot be figured out in a short while, and it may take an opportunity.
But this did not mean that Jiang Fan had given up his thoughts. On the contrary, his interest became more and more intense. Who actually founded this organization? What is its purpose?
It can't be just to make money, so there's no need to be so mysterious.
So, he began to discuss one thing with the old handsome guy - capturing the zodiac.
Since he came to Minzhou, Jiang Fan didn't want to let this person go.
There are three reasons.
First, Huang Sanqi was swallowed by the python before he could explain his relationship with Yuelai. Maybe Huang Dao would know something.
Secondly, Jiang Fan, the remains of the Ling Sect, also needs to figure out what happened.
Thirdly, he didn't want to keep this guy who wanted to kill him to avenge his father.
The biggest difficulty in catching Huang Dao is that he is still the general commanding the 50,000 Huanglong Army at Sima Jing Camp.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Fan felt that he might have to find a breakthrough in this matter from Yun Qiu.
Coincidentally, Yunqiu also came. Yunqiu did not disappoint Jiang Fan about rescuing people. On the evening of the tenth day, he sent the Su family and Yan Dazhi over.
Apart from some physical suffering at Sima Jing's place, they basically had no major problems.
Jiang Fan briefly exchanged greetings with them and then arranged for a secret agent from Paradise to escort the Su family to Paradise.
The truth was made clear to them, and they also understood that Jin could no longer stay there, and Ba Guang's Paradise was indeed a good place to go.
It's just that they inevitably wonder what the background of this Miss Jiang is and why she has such a connection in Paradise City.
As for Yan Dazhi, he was going back to the Jin Kingdom, but at this moment, Yan Dazhi also respected Miss Jiang more and more. After all, in addition to being an expert in predicting things, she had also saved his life twice.
Of course, as a veteran in officialdom, he also deeply felt that Miss Jiang's origins were extremely extraordinary. Therefore, he solemnly promised Jiang Fan that he would also obey Miss Jiang's instructions after returning.
However, he could not cross the river yet, but Yan Dazhi said he was not in a hurry. Since he had escaped, he had the ability to hide well and could wait until the war was over before trying to return to Moling.
After arranging them, Jiang Fan and Yun Qiu talked about their plan to capture Huang Dao.
Although he didn't understand what Miss Jiang wanted Huang Dao to do, he kept his word and was unambiguous about Miss Jiang's arrangements and introduced them immediately. According to what he said, Huang Dao is indeed difficult to catch. This guy is now trusted by Sima Jing and is one of his important generals. He never leaves the camp and is always followed by three thousand soldiers.
But he thought about it for a while and smiled sinisterly: "If there is no chance, create opportunities."
