Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 431 Yuan Qi: My younger brother Long Feng

The hall masters below stood up one after another to express their agreement.

This arrangement for Li Cunxi was passed unanimously within the Iron Hand Group.

Bao Chong, who was the most seriously injured, really didn't want to meet Li Cunxi.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

"Now let's start discussing the monthly salary for the Iron Hand members."

"Before this, our Iron Hand Group suffered a great disaster in the past two years. We earned too little money, and our brothers suffered a lot."

"So I decided."

"Increase the monthly salary of all brothers."

"The monthly salary for each hall member has been raised to five taels of silver per month."

"The monthly salary for the sixth hall master to the twenty-second hall master has been raised to thirty taels of silver per month."

"The second hall master to the fifth hall master will receive sixty taels of silver per month. The deputy sect master, senior brother Long Feng, will receive one hundred taels of silver per month."

The members of the Iron Hand Group below began to count on their fingers.

Even though the hall masters only earn a few dozen taels of silver a month, it is already a lot.

In this era, the annual salary of a governor of a superior state was only two hundred taels of silver in cash.

In terms of basic monthly salary, they have to pay more than the governor of the upper province.

And they also have other income.

"Master, I took too much."

"If you don't assign me more things to do, I won't feel at ease taking this money."

Long Feng stroked his beard lightly and stated his problem.

One hundred taels of silver a month, two months is equal to the annual salary of a governor of a superior state.

Although it is a drop in the bucket compared to what Li Cunxi gave him, it is a critical moment for the Iron Hand Group.

The more Yuan Qi gave him, the more uneasy he felt.

"This is for you, just take it."

"When I was away for the past two years, I know how much pressure and sadness you have endured. This is what you should hold in your hands."

Yuan Qi did not hesitate to express his gratitude, and his words were sincere.

From the day he took over the Iron Hand Group again, he realized that this team was still headed by him, Yuan Qi.

Long Feng, who had been in charge of the household for two years, not only did not secretly cultivate his own power, but also vigorously promoted Yuan Qi's abilities.

Even these new hall masters were invited in from outside by Long Feng under his name.

The daily expenses of these hall masters were subsidized by the monthly advance payment that Long Feng received from his wife.

He was extremely grateful to Long Feng, and was glad that when he was still in Tangzhou, he put aside all distractions and let Long Feng, a nominal outsider, take charge of things for him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

Long Feng bowed, stopped refusing, and sat on the chair.

Yuan Qi looked at everyone again and said loudly:

"Everyone, I remember all your contributions to the Iron Hand Group during my absence."

"I, Yuan Qi, promise you all here that as long as you don't let me down, I will never let you down!"

"We share the blessings and bear the hardships together!"

"As soon as the plan succeeds, you will all enjoy wealth and glory with me!"

Half an hour later, after discussing how to open the Han Canal boat capsizing case, everyone left Prince Ying's mansion.

Long Feng deliberately stayed at the back and asked Hu Yun, Bao Chong, Chen Yiqu and Yun Gu to go out and wait for him, then he took out a promissory note from his arms.

"Master, this is the IOU for the monthly salary I advanced to your wife these days."

"Please take a look. I have already arranged all the money. There will be no mistakes."

"Later, you can deduct the amount owed from my monthly salary."

Long Feng said this and handed the IOU to Yuan Qi.

"Before today, I never thought I could pay off these debts."

"Now it seems that I should be able to pay it back."

Yuan Qi took the IOU but did not read it. Instead, he tore it to pieces in front of Long Feng.

He threw the torn IOU into the brazier and let it burn to ashes.

"This is the money I should have paid. If I asked you to pay this money out of your monthly salary, I would feel uneasy."

"I have already taken the IOU from your sister-in-law and burned it."

"From now on, you and I are brothers who have shared life and death together. We are brothers and family and we should not have different opinions. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours."

"Please don't say these petty words to me anymore. I don't like to hear them."

"I will host a dinner party at my house tomorrow. I would like to invite you, Hu Yun, Bao Chong, Qi Hai and Yun Gu to be our guests. Please tell them about this when you have dinner with them later."

"The specific time is around 12:00 p.m. tomorrow night. You must all remember to come to my house. I will be waiting for you with your sister-in-law."

Long Feng bowed and accepted Yuan Qi's kindness.

It's enough to show off yourself once or twice, any more than that would be a bit artificial.

Long Feng, who was well aware of this principle, said goodbye to Yuan Qi, then went out to find the four people and had a good meal together.

Yuan Qi returned to the main hall of Prince Ying's mansion, looked at his wife who was drinking tea, and asked:

"Where did you put the IOU my brother Long Feng left with you when he advanced you money?"

The lady took a sip of tea and said calmly:

"Every time he writes an IOU, I burn it. There is no such thing."

"He is worthy of the title of deputy sect leader. How could I do something that would disappoint him for such a small sum of money?"

"I wrote the IOU only so that he could take the money with a clear conscience."

Yuan Qi nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his wife was becoming more sensible.

"Oh, there is one more thing. Tomorrow I will host a banquet for Long Feng, Hu Yun, Bao Chong, Qi Hai and Yun Gu at my house."

"Tell the servants to clean up and prepare a good banquet tomorrow. They have suffered a lot in the past two years, and I have to reward them."

The lady responded, and after Yuan Qi left, she asked the servant to call the housekeeper and told him what Yuan Qi had instructed.

The killer group Iron Hand were having a great time and were unaware that someone's wrath was about to be unleashed upon them.

Dayang Mountain in Liuzhou.

After traveling day and night for five days, a secret letter was delivered to Kui Wenzhong in Dayang Mountain.

He opened the letter, took a look at it, and frowned.

After reading the entire letter, the murderous aura from Kui Wenzhong began to spread everywhere.

He grabbed the Snake Spirit member who came to deliver the letter, and his eyes burst into murderous rage.

"Eldest sister said in the letter that Xiaofeng and the brothers of the Fifth Hall were most likely killed by the Iron Hand Group?"

"Is this true or false? Tell me now!"

Kui Wenzhong shook the Snake Spirit member, who was still in shock and could only shout:

"I'm just a messenger, I don't know the specific reason!"

Kui Wenzhong pushed the man away and looked at the letter carefully again.

After reading it several times in a row, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself:

"My eldest sister is a smart and capable person. Although she makes mistakes occasionally, she will not go wrong in the general direction."

"She analyzed it based on the facts, so it's most likely true."

"The damn Iron Hand Group killed Xiao Feng. How am I going to explain this to Xiao Mei and Cun Xi?"
