The county town seems a bit strange today. To be precise, it is Tonglu Hutong, Wuheng Lane, Zouma Street, Sanqing Lane and other places within the sphere of influence of the Longhu Gang.
The Longhu gang members that people would avoid in the past were all wearing black shirts today.
What's even more strange is that the attitude of these Longhu gangsters has become so hard to recognize them.
"Boss Wang, from now on, I will pay the monthly payment on the first day of every month. There are five clerks in the store, and they will collect a total of 150 Wen."
"Shopkeeper Liu, each person has thirty cash, and he will issue a receipt when the time comes."
"If there is any blind guy who dares to charge too much at will, remember to tell me and the Longhu Gang will make the decision for everyone."
…
A member of the Minglonghu Gang took to the streets and began to inform the new monthly payment standards from door to door.
"Boss Qin, remember to put a slag bucket (trash can) at the back door, otherwise there will be pickled filth everywhere at the door."
"If anyone dares to make trouble, come to me at any time and I will have their legs broken."
…
The shops and merchants within the Longhu Gang's sphere of influence all felt as if they had seen a ghost.
They were also planning to serve tea and water, and take the opportunity to stuff some extra money, but as a result, those vicious Longhu gang members not only did not cause trouble, but even had a nice tone and attitude.
When you walk down the street, you can still see some Longhu gang members patrolling the streets and greeting people from time to time.
The arrogance, domineering and willful behavior before were completely gone.
"What's going on today? Have the people in the Longhu Gang had their brains replaced?"
"Yeah, it's like Chong Xie. Which of those guys were not domineering before? Today they have become good gentlemen."
"I just saw them helping an old man cross the street."
"In the past, not only were the monthly payments collected more, but there were also people who came here every now and then to cheer me up, but now it's better, and they even said they would give me a receipt."
"Did the Longhu Gang change their business?"
…
Many people got together to talk about this matter, but found out that it was not an isolated case, and everyone was dumbfounded.
When will the evil wolf change its gender and stop eating meat and start eating grass?
Believe it or not, at least the current Longhu Gang makes everyone feel like they are dreaming.
Towards evening,
Many people gathered in Goulan, who had heard the news and came to listen to Yan Qingshi play "Butterfly Lovers".
The door was crowded with people, noisy and chaotic.
At this time, a loud shout came, "Everyone line up for me! It's so noisy, when can we go in to listen to the show?"
The impatient person turned around and scolded, "Who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself me? Why should I listen to you..."
When he saw the drunken man, he immediately shrank his neck and said, "Bao... Mr. Bao, why are you here?"
"Where did Mr. Bao come from? My name is Brother Bao." The man who yelled was wearing a black shirt with a special mark embroidered on his chest.
Mr. Bao, whose original name was Yang Bao, in order to show his fierceness, called himself Brother Bao, and then gradually rose to power, becoming the Mr. Bao who was known in the streets and alleys.
As a result, it has now been changed to Brother Bao.
Yang Bao was followed by five Longhu gang members. He lined up the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, please line up for me and go in one by one."
"If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me, Yang Bao, for not giving me face."
Yang Bao's voice spread like a gong.
The Longhu Gang's notoriety is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is really not used to being so politely spoken suddenly, but they still listen to Yang Bao and slowly line up at the back.
The crowd soon ceased to be noisy.
Everyone has a sense of absurd dissonance in their hearts.
What is going on?
The Longhu Gang also helps Goulan maintain order?
This is more responsible than the government patrol officers!
The sun rises from the west today?
What’s even more incredible is yet to come.
After Yang Bao walked into the Goulan lobby, he handed a teapot to a waiter, then walked up to the stage and said loudly,
"Don't let me see the people behind you jockeying for a seat. There's no table to occupy. Wouldn't you move a stool and sit next to it?"
"Where's my buddy? What's the use of running around and only knowing how to serve tea and pour water?"
…
The onlookers in the hook bar were all dumbfounded.
It's not enough to maintain order outside, but they also have to use Goulan to control the situation.
What happened to the Longhu Gang?
Is the sexual transformation too complete?
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but still acted according to Yang Bao's words.
The noisy hook bar quickly became smoother.
Yang Bao walked into the backstage, smiled and clasped his fists at everyone, "The monthly payment for Goulan is quite a lot. Since I have received the monthly payment, I naturally have to do my best."
"If anyone dares to make trouble in the future, please remember to inform me, Yang Bao."
Arriving in front of Yan Qingshi, Yang Bao even bent down to salute.
"Miss Yan's pipa is one of the best in our county. Listening to Miss Yan's pipa music yesterday made Yang Bao very happy."
Everyone around gave them strange looks. What did Mr. Bao mean? Did he fall in love with Yan Qingshi?
Mr. Yan hurriedly stood in front of Yan Qingshi, "Master Bao is too polite. Qingshi's pipa is rough and hard to listen to. I don't deserve Master Bao's praise."
All the guys backstage were anxious.
Old man, what are you doing?
Even though Mr. Bao is so polite, he is really going to make Mr. Bao anxious. You must survive tonight.
The result was beyond everyone's expectation. Not only was there no displeasure on Yang Bao's face, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
"The old man is too modest. If anything happens to you in the future, just come to me." After Yang Bao finished speaking, he hugged Yan Qingshi and left the backstage.
Everyone in the background was left staring with big eyes.
What's going on?
Has Mr. Bao fallen in love with Miss Yan?
But it’s not like this. Doesn’t the Longhu Gang directly kidnap people?
Why did you learn to behave like a scholar?
It looks nondescript, like bear embroidery, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward.
No one knew why, only Yan Qingshi vaguely thought of something.
An image flashed through my mind.
Light rain fell from the sky, and dozens of people stood in the dilapidated yard, all of them saluting respectfully towards a figure...
"Is that you?"
A glimmer of light flashed across Yan Qingshi's eyes.
Walking onto the stage, Yan Qingshi looked around the audience, but did not see that figure again, and the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.
"Aren't you coming today..."
Yang Bao left the Goulan, and his men waiting outside approached him and asked,
"Brother Bao, what are you doing? Even if we can no longer act arrogantly, we won't do anything for Goulan."
Yang Bao hated the indifference and gave him a slap in the face, "What the hell do you know!?"
"No one can mess with this Gou Lan. You can collect the monthly payment as you should. But if anyone dares to make trouble, don't blame me for not warning you."
"From now on, I will treat this place as my parents' support, do you hear me?"
The five subordinates were still a little aggrieved.
"Just remember it. I heard that Miss Yan inside is the concubine of a big shot. You must not conflict with her."
Yang Bao glared hard and said, "Let's go shopping again."
"Let me be more energetic. From now on, we will have a monthly salary. We will earn more than before, and we won't have to use knives or guns. Who doesn't want this good thing? Get out of here as soon as possible."
A group of six people hurried forward and passed by the two people walking towards them.
Li Changan glanced at the six Longhu Gang members and smiled at Song Anmin beside him, "It seems that the Longhu Gang performed well."
"Thanks to my lord's arrangements, otherwise we would still be a mess now." Song Anmin lowered his head and said,
"Now every store is registered, and although the monthly income collected is not as high as before, it is stable enough that no one dares to line their own pockets anymore, and the lower-level helpers have benefited a lot."
"Coupled with the secret business, there will be no problem in maintaining the Longhu Gang."
"And these guys can also hold their chests high and do things, so they don't end up like street rats like before."
Li Changan nodded, "Brother Song, when there are people around, just call me Young Master like Uncle Zhang."
"Yes, young master." Song Anmin responded immediately.
After Dahan was founded, it was no longer the Caotai team before, and the rules that should be observed must be strictly followed.
"Have all the tokens been distributed to the brothers?"
"It has been delivered to the brothers." Song Anmin glanced around and said softly,
"According to what the young master said, each brother is bound to a number, and is also equipped with a special password. Even if others get the token, they cannot use it."
Li Changan walked to the door of Goulan and saw a sea of people inside.
"Master, do you want to go in and listen to the play?" Song Anmin asked.
"No." Li Changan shook his head, but the image of the Tsing Yi dress unconsciously appeared in his mind.
The two walked into Tonglu Hutong. Song Anmin took out a gold medal from his arms and said, "Sir, this is your token."
"To prevent some blind people from colliding with each other, the members of the Jin Department of the Han Dynasty's spy department will see the token as if they were a young master."
"I'm determined." Li Changan took the gold medal. He couldn't use it himself, but he could also give it to his sister-in-law.
"Go and do your work, report anything anytime."
Song Anmin clasped his fists respectfully and then quietly disappeared into the alley.
Li Changan walked towards home.
The academy will be closed for the next two days, waiting for the calculation of the Literary Saint List at the end of the month.
I don’t know if I can get through this life-and-death test...
