Inspect the store, the store is very calm, it seems that it has not been affected by the change of the shopkeeper of the trading company, Qian Ming is skilled and experienced in dealing with customers, Liu Han watched on the side, and then paced back to the backyard, Lao Huang is no longer in the backyard, he feels that there is nothing to do here, and goes back to the inn.

Liu Han decided to let the caravan move out of the courtyard of the Chang family outside the city, Bi Liang bought a courtyard outside the city, in the name of the trading company, this courtyard is larger than the courtyard of the Chang family, but it is not so delicate, and it is more rough in the northwest.

After the caravan moved out, for safety, Liu Han arranged defenses again, and people were placed on the high places of the entire courtyard, and the guys had nothing to do and could not leave the village.

Bi Liang's case was as Liu Han expected, the team leader was still quite shrewd, and he actually touched the Zhuangzi of Fu Sangongzi, but soon, the Fu family exerted his strength, and the prefect of Chang'an Mansion felt pressure, plus Bi Liang had no background, as a slave, his master didn't seem to be in a hurry, the prefect hinted that the team leader should not check, and the Fu family sent silver to the team leader, so the enthusiasm of the team leaders was not so high, and they were planted to the Brotherhood within two days.

To Liu Han's surprise, two days after the store opened, there were a few big men outside the door, these big men were not noisy, they sat down on the side when they entered the door, stared at the customers who entered the door, and when the customers saw them, they were like seeing the plague, and immediately turned around and left.

"Guys, I don't know what's the matter with the shop?" asked Qian Ming cautiously at the big man led by Chong.

The big man at the head said unceremoniously: "You are the new shopkeeper?"

"In the next temporary position as the shopkeeper of the Chang'an store, I don't know what the strong man has to do when he comes to the store. Qian Ming was still careful.

"We have an agreement with the shopkeeper Bi, the shopkeeper used to give us five hundred taels a month, and we guarantee that no one dares to go to your store to spread wild, and no one dares to owe your store an account. ”

Liu Han had already received the report, and he could see it clearly when he hid on the side, and now he understood that these guys were here to collect protection money, Liu Han shook his head slightly with a wry smile, and Liu Tie, who had been paying attention, immediately pulled down his face, pushed the door and was about to go out to meet these gangsters, Liu Han grabbed him and shook his head at him.

The little ghosts are difficult, these gangsters are just some little ghosts, as long as the number is not large, just give them to them, Liu Han doesn't want to cause trouble on this.

Qian Ming knew that Liu Han was staring at the back, and when he heard the door ring and close, he didn't understand what it meant. He hesitated and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just took over, and many things are not clear, if you have an agreement with the shopkeeper Bi, can you show me the agreement." ”

The big man led by him sneered, and the people around him laughed recklessly, Qian Ming quietly gave Liu Shui a look, Liu Shui stood there without changing his color, and the leader of the big man smashed the cup to the ground and shouted:

"What Grandpa said is, if you don't admit it, I won't be difficult for you, grandpa will lift his feet and leave. ”

"The strong man is angry," Qian Ming said with a smile: "I only took over today, the original second shopkeeper did not hand over this piece when it was handed over, the caravan director is still outside, and it will take a while to come back, the handover of the store has not been completed, please don't worry, wait for two more days." In addition, I also asked who the strong man is?"

"Pandao?" The leader of the big man sneered twice, cocked Erlang's legs nonchalantly, leaned back on the chair, and a strong man beside him stepped forward and announced loudly: "Listen, my eldest brother Zhenguanzhong is the helmsman of the Iron Fist Society, and this West Fang is the territory of our Iron Fist Society, if you want to do business here, you have to ask us if the Iron Fist Society agrees!"

"It turned out to be a hero of the Iron Fist Club," Qian Ming was still smiling, this is his characteristic, no matter when, he is always smiling, he believes in reaching out and not hitting people with smiling faces. Qian Ming shook the pass: "Zhenzhuangshi, these five hundred taels is a big amount, I have to wait for the main thing to come back before I can decide." ”

Liu Han didn't listen to it anymore, this earthquake was just pulling the tiger skin and carrying the banner, and it was true that the Iron Fist Club was a gang in Chang'an, but Bi Liang clearly remembered in the account book that the monthly protection fee was only ten taels, and this guy wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob, and it rose dozens of times at once.

Called a guy and asked, there are four major gangs in Chang'an City, namely the Yuyi Society, the Eight Dao Alliance, the Iron Fist Society, and the Tianfeng Pavilion; everyone in Chang'an City knows these four major gangs, but these four gangs are different, the Yuyi Society and the Eight Dao Alliance have their own business, and generally do not interfere in the lives of ordinary people.

The Clothing Club is mainly a casino brothel, and also provides bodyguard services, which are not bodyguards to protect caravans, but bodyguards for personal safety;

The Eight Dao League controls the transportation of the eight waterways around Chang'an, and the porters on the wharf and the wharf are all members of the Eight Dao League, and they have the most momentum and the most members in Chang'an, offending the Eight Dao League, not only can the goods not go out, but even people cannot leave Chang'an.

Tianfeng Pavilion and Iron Fist Club divided the territory in the outer city of Chang'an, no one in the inner city dared to go there to make the wind and rain, Tianfeng Pavilion occupied the east city, and the Iron Fist Club occupied the west city, and collected protection fees respectively, but no matter in the east city or the west city, they did not dare to attack the casino on the turf, that was the business of the clothing society.

"I heard that the cultivation in this earthquake is very deep, and a few swordsmen came last year, and he beat the swordsman half to death with only one punch,.。。 ”

The guy looked a little anxious, and looked at the closed door from time to time, but Liu Han was not interested, if this guy was really capable, the gate lord clan would have already started to recruit him, this gang is the underworld after all, and he has the reputation of a thief on his head, and he is just a helmsman, and there is also a door lord and gang leader above, serving the door lord clan, which is far more beautiful than collecting protection fees from door to door.

Qian Ming pushed the door in, and reported in a low voice that it was necessary to ask for five hundred taels in this earthquake pass, Liu Leng smiled and said to Liu Tie: "Go and tell him that we have found out that Bi Liang gives him ten taels per month, and we are willing to still pay according to ten taels per month, and five hundred taels are exempt from talking." ”

Liu Tie smiled, pushed the door out, and after a while, an angry cry came from the room: "Ten taels! Grandpa will give ten taels when he comes to your store in person!"

"Zhen Zhuangshi, Zhen Zhuang Shi, as soon as the shopkeeper left, you raised the price, five hundred taels, we really can't afford it. Qian Ming's tone was still so polite, Liu Han could think of Qian Ming's smile on his face.

But Liu Han was thinking about another question in his heart, whether it was his idea or was instigated by someone to raise the price in this earthquake, if it was the latter, then there was a problem.

The gang power in Chang'an City is nothing to him, and he doesn't plan to investigate, with his own experience, whether there is anyone behind these gangs, whether there is government support, whether there is a scholar background, it is uncertain.

Moreover, in his original plan, he did not stay in Chang'an for so long, nor did he plan to explore these gangs.

But when the earthquake came to the door, it was different.

In the room, Zhenguan stood up, grabbed the cup and smashed it on the ground, the cup had just left his hand, Liu Tie had not moved, Liu Shui reached out and caught the cup like lightning, Zhenguan was stunned, and then sneered again and again.

"I said, it turns out that there is a fight, and there is a backer!" Zhen Guan Zhong smiled, and smiled at the man on the side: "We are all bitter haha, and our favorite thing is to exchange lives with rich and noble people." ”

"Change your life?!" Liu Tie's eyes opened wider than the copper bell, and his swarthy face was full of surprise: "You exchange lives with me?"

Zhenguanzhong's face changed instantly, it turned out that the cultivation of the big black man in front of him was higher, and he forced himself to shout calmly: "My cultivation may not be as high as yours, but we will have three thousand brothers in the Iron Fist, all of whom are good men!"

Qian Ming had quietly retreated to the back, and now it was no longer his turn to speak.

Liu Tie laughed twice again, and Liu Shui shook his head at the same time: "Alas, I'm afraid, and I brought three thousand brothers as the backstage, don't come to the door to ask for money if you don't have that ability." ”
