Chapter 122 Teaching the New Students to Find the Trace in Secret
"Zhou You, you don't have to serve as the young lady's bodyguard anymore."

Sleepiness comes with pillows.

Zhou You was originally worried about how he could go out to gather information since he had to stay with Wang Yan all the time.

A brothel is a place of filth and foulness, so he must act in secret to find out.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the thing Lu Qiang wanted to talk to him about was resigning from his position as a guard.

"Zhong Shaoying volunteered and begged again and again, and the master agreed."

Zhou You was no wonder when he heard this. Since they already had the Qi and Blood Warriors protecting them, what else did they need apprentices for?

Zhong Shaoying, this bootlicker, is deeply in love with the eldest lady!

That being the case...

Lu Qiang added, "There are many new students coming to the outer courtyard to learn boxing. I can't handle it all by myself. I need a few apprentices to help guide them and teach them one or two basic boxing techniques."

“Well, you and Xu Ying come and help me!”

Teach newbies?
Zhou You thought this task was very good, at least it was much better than serving others.

After asking around, I learned that because of the panic caused by flower thieves, people in the city started learning boxing to protect themselves.

In previous years, the number of new apprentices in the outer courtyard of the martial arts school hovered around 100, ranging from 80 to 90 to more than 100.

For example, when Zhou You first entered the sect, there were 97 disciples in the outer courtyard.

These new apprentices are all mobile. When the March deadline is up, they either become regular employees or go home.

Zhou You arrived at the outer courtyard on the date, only to find that the number of people exceeded his expectations.

The population density in the outer courtyard seemed to have doubled.

"Don't count. I already found out. There are more than 160 people."

Xu Ying whispered to Zhou You, "It's a headache to deal with these greenhorns."

Zhou You laughed in silence and touched the back of his head. Two years ago, he was also what Senior Brother Xu Ying called a greenhorn.

"From now on, these two brothers, Xu Ying and Zhou You, will assist me in teaching you the Subduing Tiger Fist."

When Lu Qiang announced the names of the two, the freshmen were immediately in an uproar, whispering to each other.

"Xu Ying, I've heard of him, he..."

More freshmen talked about Zhou You, the great flying tiger.

"Chapter of the Winged Tiger Zhou You, I joined Jianxiong Martial Arts School just for him."

"I heard that he cut off one of the flower thieves' arms, and blood was everywhere."

"Don't fight with me, I want to follow him."

Zhou You was a little embarrassed. The rumor was too outrageous. He only scratched the flower thief's arm, not broke it.

Xu Ying, who was standing by, felt a little jealous and said sourly, "Zhou You, you are also a well-known figure."

The nameless people in the world do not mean that they have no real name, but that they have no nickname.

People are born with a name. When they are young, it is a nickname. When they grow up, they have a full name and a nickname.

A nickname is a respectful title, and it is a qualification that can only be obtained after reaching a certain level and having some achievements. It is equivalent to a medal.

Although the Flying Tiger is a bit rustic, it helps Zhou You escape from the role of an unknown person.

Xu Ying was equally skilled in strength and had more experience than him, but he lacked the nickname of Winged Tiger. Most of these new students chose Zhou You.

Lu Qian saw everything. Why did he ask Zhou You to come over? Wasn't it for this?
The tuition fees for new apprentices are one of the main sources of income for a martial arts school.

Each martial arts school has its own signboard to attract students to learn martial arts.

Zhou You Cha Chi Hu became famous, and with his solid foundation, he was able to kill two birds with one stone by teaching new students boxing techniques.

"Learn everything well, and in time, you may be able to achieve success like your two brothers."

Hearing Lu Qiang's words, the freshmen's hearts became excited and their eyes lit up.

Zhou You knew in his heart, how many of the familiar faces around him when he first entered the sect are still around now?
Practicing boxing and martial arts is a process of eliminating peers step by step, and walking alone to the end in the invisible bloody storm. In the evening, the busy day is over.

Zhou You left the martial arts gym and transformed into Lu Zhigang's appearance.

He pretended to be drunk and stumbled along the busiest red-light district in the city.

Along the way, prostitutes kept soliciting, "Sir, come in and play!"

There were even prostitutes fighting over the business. "You shameless bitch, how dare you steal my business?"

They pulled her hair, spit on her, pinched her chest, and tore her hair into disarray, leaving her breasts half exposed.

Passing by prostitutes came to watch the fun, cheering and shouting, and the scene was extremely lively.

Zhou You lowered his head and walked slowly. A trial item was listed on the panel: capture or kill the flower thief alive.

The bonuses offered in the city have accumulated to an astronomical figure, and countless people are amazed when they hear about it.

Before the concubine of Xu's family was killed, Hua Hong's value was estimated to be 7 or 8 taels. After the flower thief killed the concubine of Xu's family, the noble families in the city were furious and directly rounded up the amount for him.

The total reward is 10 taels of gold and silver, which is kept in the largest bank in the city.

No matter whether the stolen goods are dead or alive, or whole or small, as long as they are cashed in at the bank, the flower thief can take away an astronomical bonus.

An average family in the city could save 10 taels of silver a year under the most affluent circumstances.

In other words, one would need to live for 10,000 years to collect this bonus.

Money moves people's hearts!
Not only the hunting team, but many folk warriors also spontaneously organized themselves to hunt down the flower thieves.

The flower thief was injured recently, so this was a good opportunity to give him a beating.

Zhou You walked silently and saw warriors with heavy footsteps passing by on the street from time to time.

Not only in the Flower Street, but also in every street in the city, there are warriors patrolling, looking for clues of flower thieves.

The top brass used sky-high rewards as bait and mobilized so many desperate criminals without spending a penny.

In one word, high!
Zhou You realized that he was also one of them, and became more determined to achieve his goal.

The higher you go, the more resources you can mobilize, which is what is meant by "a little effort can achieve great results".

And now, he is still in the stage of primitive accumulation.

I continued to explore along Flower Street, and after walking 700 or 800 meters, suddenly...

"Trial Project (Three Stars): Capture or kill the flower thief alive."

This line of words glowed a faint red, and this was the third time such a situation had occurred.

The first time, it was when the flower thief stole Captain Chang’s daughter, and the second time was at Zeng’s house, where the flower thief tried to take Miss Zeng away.

The situation was the same both times: the flower thief was nearby.

Zhou You suppressed his inner excitement, covered his mouth and staggered forward.

As the red light sometimes became stronger and sometimes weaker, the location of the flower thief had been roughly determined.

Located near the back half of Flower Street.

This place is a bit remote, far away from the prime roads, and is full of low-end brothels. There is even a freelancer who solicits customers in a single room with only a wooden bed.

The place where the red light was the brightest was a group of bungalows that were divided and rented out. All the tenants were prostitutes without exception.

The question is, which room is it?
"There was a prostitute who had her door half-closed. She received a stranger a few days ago and ruined her health."

"It's so miserable when I have heavy menstrual bleeding. The whole house is full of red and purple, and the landlord stands at the door and scolds me all day long!"

"Recently, I haven't been receiving any customers. I've been lying in bed recuperating and taking medicine!"

Two prostitutes were chatting in the cold wind on the street corner, talking about an unfortunate colleague of theirs.

Zhou You’s pair of eyes were extremely bright in the darkness.

Found you, flower thief!
