After avoiding Qiu Xiaoman's nonsense, Lin Yan returned to the small courtyard on the outskirts. Before he could take out the "Xuantian Sword Jue" presented by Senior Tianxuan and read through it, he heard the wooden door being banged, and at the same time, a
An angry voice came in.
"Brother Lin, are you there?"
Lin Yan had already identified from the voice that the person coming was Tie Niu, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. He put the "Xuan Tian Sword Jue" in his arms, ran to the door, and opened the wooden bolt.
Wang Tieniu strode in sweating profusely. Although he tried his best to smile, his expression was very anxious.
"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
Lin Yan brought out herbal tea for Tieniu to quench his thirst.
Wang Tieniu drank a cup of tea in one gulp, his chest heaving up and down, obviously he had been running all the way.
"The matter is urgent," Wang Tieniu said anxiously, wiping the corner of his mouth with his big hand: "The dock is surrounded by people. Brother Lin, I can't handle it, so I have to come and ask for your help."
Lin Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light, he stood up and said: "Let's go! Go to the dock."
After taking a step, Lin Yan stepped back, took out the ordinary fine steel sword from the bronze scabbard, replaced it with a war sword and inserted it inside, before striding out with Tieniu.
Along the way, the two of them walked in a hurry, and Lin Yan figured out the matter at the same time.
It turns out that since Niu Si and twenty warriors died inexplicably, the thugs raised by Niu Si were frightened, fearing that disaster would befall them, so they dispersed one after another. At that time, Tieniu united with other workers and only
At a small price, he bought the land at the wharf that formerly belonged to Niu Si, and agreed with the owner of the wheat shop in Xiaoshui City that Tieniu would be responsible for loading and unloading.
Tieniu and his workers were hard-working and kind, so they enjoyed working with the shop owner. In just one month, Tieniu had doubled his business, and his unloading scope was no longer limited to wheat, but also included corn.
Wait for other food.
But Tieniu's success made Niu Si's thugs jealous.
They hid around for a month, and finally saw that the disaster had not happened to them, so they felt relieved and began to gather around the dock again.
Most of them are local hooligans. In the past, when Niu Si was around, they were thugs hired by Niu Si, who were responsible for robbing other people's business and monitoring workers. Now that Niu Si is dead, they have become jobless vagrants. Seeing that Tieniu's business is surprisingly good, they
I use both soft and hard tactics, and I want to invest in it.
It's just that their investment is not to pay money, but to use their power to protect Tieniu. However, one-third of the profits from Tieniu's business must be handed over to them!
This was no different from overt robbery, so Tieniu naturally refused to agree. After threatening and intimidating several times, these gangsters simply blocked the pier yesterday afternoon, preventing Tieniu's people from unloading the goods.
Tieniu's business was not done, and he was told that if he didn't agree today, he would be forced to do so.
Tieniu had come to see Lin Yan in the morning, but Lin Yan happened to be visiting Xuantianju at that time, and that was how the previous scene happened.
After understanding the whole story, Lin Yan had some concerns in his mind.
"Tieniu, I remember that there was a man named Da Zhuang among those supervisors. Wasn't he frightened to death by me? Why, they don't have a long memory, and they still dare to embarrass you?"
Lin Yan recalled that when he taught Niu Si a lesson at the dock, the supervisor, Da Zhuang, was so frightened by his thunderous methods that his legs trembled.
"It would be great if it was really Da Zhuang and his gang. After seeing Brother Lin's domineering power, how could they dare to cause trouble? Ever since Niu Si was beaten by you that day, he vented his anger on Da Zhuang and his gang of supervisors.
He thought they were useless, so he dismissed them all at once, and quickly invited this gang of even more ruthless gangsters, led by a man named Shen Fei, with a total of ten people, and there seemed to be a few warriors."
"Martial artist?" Lin Yan snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Fight!"
Tieniu smiled and was not worried. He knew Brother Lin's strength.
The two of them quickly arrived at the dock, and sure enough they found that on the site where wheat was being unloaded, several porters were sitting dejectedly, wiping sweat while looking helplessly at the figures on the other side in the shade.
Those gangsters really knew how to enjoy themselves. They sat under the shade of a tree with their legs crossed, and while waiting for Tieniu to surrender to them, they told some dirty jokes unscrupulously.
Seeing Tieniu coming, and a young man with a sword standing beside him, the gangsters shouted, laughed wildly, and walked forward carelessly, surrounded by a man in his thirties with a thick golden necklace hanging around his neck.
come out.
The man had his hands on his hips, his legs slightly apart, and his front legs seemed to be weighing heavily. He tilted his head and shook his neck rhythmically. He looked at himself and Tieniu in a playful way. He was wearing a colorful shirt.
He tied a button and let the wind swell the hem of his clothes, revealing a green tiger tattooed on his chest. Combined with a two-inch long scar on his dark face, he looked quite gangster.
Lin Yan sneered in his heart but remained silent, wanting to see what tricks this man was planning to play.
"This is our eldest brother Shen Fei, who is known as Brother Feihu in the world!"
Now that the eldest brother had stood up and put on a show-stopping pose, the younger brother next to him naturally called out Shen Fei's name at the right time.
Lin Yan looked at Shen Fei and the slightly faded tiger on his chest. He felt more and more that it looked more like a sick big cat. He chuckled and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Damn, be serious, this is a negotiation!" the boy next to him shouted immediately.
Shen Fei glanced sideways at Lin Yan, and suddenly spat on the sand. After rubbing it with his feet, he said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Tieniu has made a lot of progress. You all know how to ask for help."
La, haha!"
"Haha, hahaha!"
The rest of the people nearby also followed Qi Le.
Lin Yan laughed again, and he started laughing after all the gangsters had finished laughing. Therefore, the laughter was inevitably very outstanding, and it was naturally very harsh to the ears of the gangsters.
"Damn it, laugh, laugh like crazy!" The boy next to him started yelling and scolding again.
After all, Shen Fei was the leader of the gangsters. He saw something was wrong. He raised his hand and the boy next to him immediately shut his mouth obediently. It seemed that Brother Feihu had done a good job in establishing his prestige.
"This brother hasn't asked for his name yet?"
"My name is Lin Yan." Lin Yan said seriously.
"Brother Feihu, this kid is playing with Brother Feihu." The boy next to him immediately interrupted.
"Damn it, can you stop saying a few words? If you keep talking too much, put it in a sack and throw it into the Xiaoshui River to feed the bastard and turtle!"
Brother Feihu's overbearing anger immediately frightened the younger brother into silence. He retreated to the back of the crowd in panic, as if he was very afraid that a moldy sack would fall from the sky at the next moment.
"Ahem." Shen Fei turned around and saw his younger brother's performance. He was very satisfied. He pretended to cough twice, then turned his head, covered his ears with his left hand, pointed his ears towards Lin Yan, and said arrogantly: "
I didn’t hear you clearly just now, brother, please tell me again, what’s your name?”
The boys laughed again.
Lin Yan didn't laugh this time, but Wang Tieniu laughed along with them.
Wang Tieniu knew that Brother Feihu would definitely be blind and the boat would capsize in the gutter.
Wang Tieniu was straightforward, but he was not prepared to remind Shen Fei because he also wanted to watch the excitement.
"My name is Lin Yan." Lin Yan said with a smile. At the end, he did not forget to add: "Lin of the woods, Yan of the flames, Brother Feihu."
When Shen Fei heard this, he was very happy. He immediately put down the hand covering his ears, turned sideways and danced and said to the younger brother behind him: "Did everyone hear it? He said his name is Lin Yan, haha, hahaha, I laughed so hard! "
After the ear-piercing laughter, Shen Fei pressed his hand down, and the crowd immediately regained their composure. With a smile on his face, he said to Lin Yan again with a malicious look on his face: "It's the beauty who won the plum award." Recommended qualifications, Lin Yan was invited to be a guest at Senior Tianxuan’s Xuantian Residence today?”
Lin Yan already understood that these guys had also heard about these things and knew that his name was very good, but he had never seen his face, so naturally he could not recognize him. And he had just been a guest at Xuantianju in the morning, so he should be right now It was because of the warm hospitality of the Qingwu Sect that even if he went down to the Qingwu Mountain, he would never appear in a dirty place like the dock where big shots like him would never visit, and it was even less possible for him to stand up for Wang Tieniu, who had no background whatsoever.
It's also his fault that these guys were unlucky. They only became Niu Si's special thugs after Niu Si was punished by him. They didn't know that Wang Tieniu knew him, not to mention that he was unknown at that time, even if they learned about it afterwards. , and must have forgotten all about his name.
Therefore, they will never believe that they are Lin Yan now.
So, Lin Yan said seriously again: "Yes, I am that Lin Yan, Brother Feihu."
When Shen Fei heard this, he stomped on the sand a few times, then laughed loudly and said: "If you are the famous Lin Yan, then I am the number one Dugu Sword Demon in Xiaoshui City, haha!"
The younger brother behind him immediately followed suit.
"Brother Feihu, you will be the Dugu Sword Demon, and I, the second in charge, will be the Young Master Qingfeng."
The third master immediately pinched Lanhua with his fingers and said angrily: "In this case, I will just become Mei Jiangxue, and I will charm you stinky men to death."
Daqing, this team of gangsters full of masculinity and ruffianism, also has an alien mixed in, and he has climbed to a high position, becoming the third leader of the family.
"No matter what your name is, if you meet me, Brother Feihu, you will still be defeated! Wang Tieniu, it seems that you are not ready to let us take shares. In this case, I declare that the negotiation has broken down and the fight will begin!"
When Shen Fei said loudly, the other nine people shouted together and quickly dispersed, surrounding Lin Yan and Tieniu.
"I said my name is Lin Yan. If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do about it. Don't regret it if you stay for a while." Lin Yan tried his best to give one last warning.
"What the hell, Lin Yan will come to this corner? Brothers, come together, destroy this kid, let him have nothing to do to show off!"
The ten people raised their weapons one after another, including iron drills, maces, machetes, but also long swords. As Tieniu said, it seemed that there were still a few warriors among them.
