my bright sword career

Chapter 29
"Crackling..."

A burst of enthusiastic firecrackers continued to sound on the street, attracting all the nearby children to gather around, cheering and picking unlit firecrackers among the firecracker crumbs.

A man in a worn-out padded jacket put his hands in his sleeves and asked the idle man next to him, "Men, what is the happy event ahead? The firecrackers have been set off for a quarter of an hour, why haven't they stopped?"

The idle man took a look at the man, sniffed and snorted softly, "What else can I do? A new Tongji drug store opened today. It is said that it came from Liantai County. I don't know if it has been given to Mr. Hu. For? If not, then there will be a good show to watch today."

The man had a different opinion: "That's not necessarily the case. As the saying goes, it's not that the raptors don't cross the river. There are a few simple ones who can open a medicine shop. Although Lord Tiger is powerful, people may not give him such face."

"Made me look bad?"

The idle man stretched out his sleeves which hadn't been washed for an unknown period of time, and he couldn't see any color, but it was obvious that there was a thick layer of unidentified solid sleeves to wipe his nose, and laughed.

"Men, I'm afraid you don't know the reputation of Master Hu. The county magistrate we just came to is very powerful, but the first thing he did when he came to our county was to take the initiative to visit Lord Hu. scrap paper.

So, to put it bluntly, I have counted the entire Nao County, and those who dare not give face to Mr. Hu have not yet been born. "

The man fell silent. Although the idle man's words were a bit exaggerated, the current Lord Tiger is indeed so arrogant that no one dares to provoke him in Nao County.

Seeing that the man was silent, the idle man laughed triumphantly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw more than ten people walking around the corner of the street.

The clothes of these ten people look different from ordinary people.

Although it is already February, the weather is still quite cold. The common people are not wearing winter clothes or even cotton jackets, but these people are different.

In the cold weather, bunts were still more than half, and some even deliberately exposed their chests, and the leader even had a box cannon on his waist.

The faces of the people watching the excitement changed immediately when they saw these people. The children who were cheering and picking up the unexploded firecrackers on the ground also shouted when they saw these people, and they scattered in fright.

Those adults also left one after another, but they didn't go far, but waited and watched not far away.

Seeing the crowd of people who were avoiding one after another, the faces of these gangsters were very proud. The leader, a gangster in his thirties, swaggered to the door of the drug store, glanced at the drug store, and shouted arrogantly: Is there anyone who is still out of breath? If so, get out of here!"

As the man's voice fell, an old man in his fifties wearing a blue padded jacket came out of the shop, and two guys in his twenties followed behind him.

The old man bowed his hands to the gangster: "This little brother, this little old man is Yu Shizhen, the shopkeeper of the medicine shop under the Gao family in Liantai County. He opened a shop in Guibaodi under the order of our boss. What can you do?" If you are not thoughtful, I still look forward to my little brother Haihan."

The gangster glanced at the old man and the two guys behind him, didn't take it seriously at all, and said carelessly: "I don't care what kind of family you are, if you want to earn a living in our Nao County, you have to follow the rules of our Lord Tiger." Follow the rules, otherwise we will let you know the consequences of not obeying the rules!"

The two shopkeepers behind heard the words and couldn't help themselves, they were about to step forward, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper, who said in a deep voice, "I hope my little brother can tell you, what are the rules of Lord Tiger?"

The gangster laughed lightly: "Master Tiger's rule is very simple, that is, no matter what business you do here, you have to give [-]% of the money to Master Tiger."

"Fifty percent?"

The smile on Yu Shizhen's face also subsided, and there was a gleam of coldness in his dizzy eyes: "The old man has been an apprentice since he was 16 years old, and he has been in business for [-] years, and he has never heard of [-]% taps. Don't be afraid to die."

The gangster also laughed: "I'm not dead, I just called you shopkeeper because of your face. Since you don't know how to flatter me, then I wish you a long life in advance... Brothers, let's go!"

The gangsters around also roared, followed the leader gangster and turned to leave.

The onlookers not far away looked at this newly opened pharmacy and the old shopkeeper showed sympathy in their eyes. Lord Tiger's prestige has already penetrated into the hearts of the people in Nao County. Over the years, they have not only seen how many attempts to fight against Lord Tiger Some people end up with their families broken up.

"A mere outsider dares to provoke Lord Tiger. I'm afraid this reckless old guy won't live until tomorrow morning." The idle man who had been standing at the door watching the commotion had a gloating expression on his face.

Only Yu Shizhen, who was the person involved, didn't change much on his face, but told the two men: "I really let the young lady say that I found it. The water in this Nao County is very deep. If that's the case, let's follow the established regulations." , Immediately send someone to inform Bao Ye outside the city, let him follow the plan!"

"understand!"

A clerk agreed, and soon a figure quietly disappeared into the distance through the back door.

late at night……

The weather in February is still cold, and people turn off the lights and go to bed early.

After one o'clock in the morning, it is the coldest and sleepiest time of the day in public.

In the dark night, dozens of figures swaggered to the door of Tongji Pharmacy, and the man in black at the head was today's gangster.

He looked up at the signboard hanging on the door of Tongji Drugstore, showed a ferocious smile, pointed at the door and said, "Brothers, Mr. Hu has spoken today. Since these foreigners don't give Mr. Hu face, don't blame him." Lord Tiger didn't give them face anymore.

Everyone will fight in later, don't leave a single person alive, and take away all the money inside, do you understand? "

The gangsters agreed in unison: "Brother, just watch!"

"Hit in!"

With an order, the gangsters lit the torches in their hands, and the whole street was instantly illuminated.

At this time, a muscular gangster slowly walked over, holding a big hammer high in his hand, and was about to smash it towards the door.

Just as the hammer was lifted high, the door of the pharmacy was suddenly pushed open, and a group of people walked out from inside.

When the door was just pushed open, the gangster first showed a smile, "You are not stupid if you are an old man, and you know we are coming, just in time...then let's go together...ah..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gangster froze. Under the light of the light, he could clearly see the people coming out of the pharmacy.

These people were not the old shopkeepers of the pharmacy we saw today, but more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers, and all of these soldiers were holding guns in their hands, with cold eyes and black muzzles all facing them.

He only heard a cold voice: "Fire!"

Then, with bursts of crisp gunshots, more than a dozen flames instantly enveloped these gangsters in the rain of bullets...
