Member Dong was shocked. In his mind, he had never thought about the failed assassination and being bitten into Dong Hou's mansion by Yang Bin. He was simply afraid that he would be found out about enriching his own pockets and withholding commissions.
The director hesitated and said: "My master has told me that I am solely responsible for this matter. If you have any questions, just talk to me!"
Shu Sanlang was also very reluctant, and he also secretly accepted the commission in the middle. If Yang Bin and Dong Hou were allowed to talk, and it was exposed that he had enriched his own pockets and received kickbacks, wouldn't it mean that he would die without a burial place.
The previous contacts between directors and Yang Bin made Shu Sanlang anxious, fearing that their talk about remuneration would reveal their secrets.
Fortunately, the directors did not mention the remuneration several times, so Shusaburo felt relieved.
But if Yang Bin were to meet Dong Hou directly and talk about the remuneration, then he would not be able to hide what he had withheld!
Neither of the two people with ulterior motives was willing to facilitate this meeting. Shusaburo said: "You are right. Marquis Dong is busy with affairs. I will tell the head of the family that we should make plans separately."
Member Dong nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, my master has many affairs. Marquis Dong has entrusted me with full authority to handle them. Let's discuss it!"
The director took Shu Sanlang and said, "Where's Captain Yang? I've booked a banquet upstairs in Fuchun, and I'm inviting you to the banquet!"
Shu Sanlang said with a sly look on his face, "I'm busy today, so the boss won't be going."
Hearing that Yang Bin was not going, the director was about to leave the banquet, but Shu Sanlang took his arm and said: "The boss is not going, but I can go! Let's go, let's go, I'm greedy for the delicacies of Fuchun Tower
It’s been a long time!”
Although the director was extremely reluctant, he was still dragged to Fuchun Tower by Shu Sanlang.
In the business store on the busiest corner of Fule Fang, Yang Bin, the branch helmsman of the powerful Lifu Guild in Fule Fang, was checking the account books one by one.
This is the account book for the protection fees collected by his subordinates. With the prestige of the current branch, merchants on the street have paid the protection fees one after another.
However, this protection fee is also collected in accordance with the regulations. The money collected in a shop will not be the same regardless of the number of rooms or the number of clerks.
And Yang Bin will also patrol the streets with his younger brother. If there is really trouble in a store, Yang Bin's thugs will stand up and help the store maintain order.
Over time, the shops on this street became willing to pay the full amount of protection fees.
Gaochang City is a big city, and there are many dandies in the city who lead dogs and fight cocks, as well as many unemployed vagrants.
It is impossible to control every street just by relying on the bad people in the governor's office, not to mention that some of the bad people in the government are not even as good as local ruffians.
When these shops open their doors for business, it is inevitable to interact with these people.
Fulefang is close to the city gate and is a mixed place. It is common for people to come to pick up fights and cause trouble when opening a shop here.
But since Yang Bin came to Fulefang, order has been established in the shop. The shops that paid protection fees and the gangsters who came to make trouble were beaten away by Yang Bin and his men, and these shops became cleaner.
Based on this calculation, it would be more cost-effective to pay the protection fee in full.
Yang Bin will not forcefully collect protection fees. Stores that have paid protection fees can hang a special small sign at the door of the store. When Yang Bin's thugs patrol the streets, if these stores encounter trouble, they will take the initiative to help.
On the contrary, for those unlisted shops, if someone is looking for trouble, Yang Bin's thugs will move to benches to watch, and will not step forward to stop them at all.
After a while, shops of all sizes in Fule Fang will take the initiative to pay protection fees.
At this moment, Yang Bin was looking at the account books of protection fees handed over by various stores. It was just a few days ago that Shu Sanlang was caught lining his own pockets and withholding protection fees. The boy cried and begged for mercy, and was spared by Yang Bin.
Life.
These guys who join the gang are not gentlemen to begin with. If they cannot be restrained by gang rules, there is no telling what they will do.
Fortunately, Yang Bin's prestige is getting higher and higher now. In the eyes of Fulefang's Jiuliu, Yang Bin is still a living Yama.
Yang Bin has also been very troubled recently. It was clear that Mi Xing's Xing Shou died of a heart attack, but there are rumors in the public that it was Yang Bin who took Xing Shou's life.
The rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and some people even say that Yang Bin knows the magic of Tianzhu and can kill people from thousands of miles away.
This made Yang Bin dumbfounded, but the good thing is that everyone in the gang now respects him more and dare not go beyond the gang rules.
This was a rare benefit, but after checking the accounts, Yang Bin was still thinking about the assassination of King Jianning.
Yang Bin's main occupation is [Internal Guard]. Only by protecting King Jianning and gathering intelligence can he improve his occupational level and obtain contribution point rewards.
Working in the underworld collects protection fees, but you cannot increase your professional level.
Therefore, Yang Bin's main goal is to find evidence as soon as possible that the Donghou Mansion hired a murderer to assassinate King Jianning. In addition, he also needs to find out whether this is a suicide attempt by the Donghou Mansion family or a joint plan of the old nobles of Gaochang.
When he thought of this, Yang Bin felt a headache again.
The intermediary director of Donghou's mansion was Hua Buluoqiu. Several times Yang Bin tried to see Donghou through him, but he was blocked by the director.
Yang Bin couldn't see Dong Hou, so he couldn't continue to inquire about the news. Now that King Jianning had entered Xizhou, did he really have to wait until the assassination attempt?
We must meet with Dong Hou as soon as possible and find out the guy behind the assassination of King Jianning.
Yang Bin finished checking the account books and continued walking on the streets of Fulefang with his younger brother.
Now that Mihang is ready to give up Fulefang, if Yang Bin really dominates Fulefang, he will in turn override the overall leadership.
Now the reputation of Yang Bin, the talkative man of Fulefang, nicknamed Leopard Head, has spread far and wide. If he continues to be an undercover agent like this, Yang Bin will really become the underground king of Gaochang City!
Thinking of this, Yang Bin also felt depressed. He was just a fan of gangster movies. Who knew that gangs in this era could not be beaten!
Upstairs in Fuchun, Shu Sanlang was pouring wine for the directors.
This private room is the most high-end private room on the top floor of Fuchun Building. I heard that the owner of Fuchun Building came all the way from Shazhou to open a restaurant in Gaochang. The entire Fuchun Building is built in the style of a luxury hotel in Shazhou.
The four-story antique building is said to have been built by a construction team from Shazhou. The entire menu adopts the menu of a well-known restaurant in Shazhou, and even the drinks are Yumen Shao, a spirit purchased from Shazhou.
In addition, even the pipa players playing in this restaurant were invited from Shazhou City.
As soon as this restaurant with Shazhou characteristics opened, it quickly became the most upscale restaurant in Fule Fang.
Moreover, the owner of this restaurant is also very close. I don't know how to get in touch with Yang Bin, the sub-ruler of the Lifu Guild, and also be able to talk to the governor's house. Ordinary ruffians would not dare to come and cause trouble.
Naturally, Director Dong and Shu Sanlang would not discuss important matters such as the assassination of King Jianning in the restaurant. The two of them just drank and talked about interesting things about Gaochang City.
Shu Sanlang is also Fulefang's spy. He is very aware of the troubles in Gaochang City. He picked up the wine glass and said:
"I heard that the governor's office conducted an assessment a few days ago, and two officials from Donghou's family were dismissed?"
After Cui Tao took charge of the governor's office, he first expanded the departments of the governor's office in accordance with Shazhou's new policy, and held a public examination in Gaochang City to select the officials of the governor's office.
The next step is to assess the current officials and remove those who fail.
Two officials in Donghou's Mansion were dismissed by the Governor's Mansion, which became a topic of conversation in the streets of Gaochang City.
Member Dong sighed and said: "The Governor's Office has been suppressing our Donghou Mansion for more than a day or two. I heard that all the officials in the Governor's Office are from Shazhou."
In the open recruitment examination for civil servants, apart from the fact that players can easily pass the exam, the rest are candidates from Shazhou.
Shazhou was the first area occupied by King Jianning, and many player leaders established schools and other facilities on the territory.
The examination for the Governor's Office is not difficult, as long as you can write and calculate, you will have a chance to be selected.
Therefore, many students from Shazhou came to Gaochang to try their luck, and many of them passed the exam.
These officials from Shazhou have occupied the positions of the governor's office. In addition, most of the officials who were dismissed at one time were members of the major families in Gaochang City. Therefore, the public opinion in Gaochang City is fierce now and they are quite hostile to the officials from Shazhou.
.
Shu Sanlang sighed and said: "If this continues, the people from Shazhou will climb on top of the people from Xizhou."
The director drank a glass of wine and said: "Not only the yamen, but now more and more shops are opened by Shazhou people, and they sell all the latest Shazhou products. Several shops in our Donghou Mansion have been squeezed out of business."
Already."
Shu Sanlang also nodded with sadness. Now Gaochang City has a storm blowing from Shazhou. A large number of Shazhou products rushed into the Gaochang market, beating the local shops in Gaochang City to the point where they could not lift their heads.
For example, this Fuchun Restaurant was opened by businessmen from Shazhou. From the menu to the hotel design, it is the new trend of Shazhou restaurants, and it suddenly became the best restaurant in Fulifang.
Shazhou's Yumen Shao is much stronger than Gaochang City's original low-alcohol Lijiu. It has defeated Gaochang City's local famous wines and has become the best-selling wine in Gaochang City.
What's more important is that the output of Yumen Yaki is large, which is much higher than that of ordinary breweries.
Member Dong sighed. The decline of the Donghou Mansion was not just a decline in political treatment. The Donghou Mansion had no say in the Governor's Mansion, and the officials of the Donghou family were purged from the Governor's Mansion.
More importantly, the Donghou Mansion was in economic decline.
The manor outside the city has no one to work because of the slaves' escape, and the shops in the city have also closed down due to the impact of Shazhou's goods.
The salaries of the stewards of Donghou's mansion have been cut in half, and even the group of Western dancers whom Donghou cherished could not afford to support them and were given to other mansions.
Member Dong sighed again and assassinated King Jianning. Can Donghou's Mansion really return to its former glory?
King Jianning's motorcade has already entered Liulin.
