Long live Emperor Wu!

Li Shanzhen had never seen such a person before. He tilted his head slightly, showing a confused look.

I don’t understand how he can still be so confident when he is already a bully who bullies the weak.

At this time, I heard many small farmers setting up stalls nearby speaking out to educate the old woman, saying;

"Just give the money that should be given, we have given it all."

"Yes, after you give it, you can just find a way if it's not enough. Why do you have to throw this person away?"

"This is an official's family. The court asked me to take it. Please give it to me as soon as possible."

"Fifteen cents is not much. When your granddaughter goes to see a doctor later, why don't we each collect a cent for you? Don't delay our business here."

Everyone spoke out one after another, and it was obvious that more people blamed the old woman, and they all despised her for being so meddlesome.

In the end, the old woman looked around in panic, obviously feeling that she was wrong. She shrank her neck in fear and took out the bunch of copper coins that Arthur had just given her from her arms.

She was still counting, but Jin Leopard snatched it away, and directly broke the rope of the string of coins. Half of the coins fell to the ground with a clanking sound, rolling everywhere, and half of them were caught by him. in hand.

The old woman hurriedly cried and went to pick up the money on the ground, but the golden leopard held up the other half in his hand, raised it high, as if holding an imperial edict, looked around and said:

"Half the fine for tax evasion, fifteen cents becomes twenty-five cents. If you hand it in honestly, you don't have to lose this person, and you don't have to pay this fine. We are all poor, and it is not easy to earn a penny. We must know how to cherish it." , did you hear that!”

The sellers on the street responded one after another:

"understood."

"understood……"

Li Shan suddenly realized that this method...heh, it's so clever.

He thought to himself that this person could be considered a talent. After all, there were not many people who could do evil things in the name of justice and enrich themselves for personal gain without others noticing.

If it were used at the level of a country, and a group of people gathered to listen to his words, he might be able to achieve something like a tsunami.

It's just that he is just a street gangster now, and the only people he controls and confuses are this group of poor and weak farmers.

Wu Rou looked at the old woman lying on the muddy ground, crying and picking up money. She was really angry and whispered to Li Shan:

"Kuro, let's beat him up, he looks really hateful."

Li Shan comforted her and said:

"He brought more than 20 people and had a fight in front of so many people. It will definitely alert the government. Then our identities will no longer be hidden. It is troublesome after all. If you still want to come out secretly in the future, just We can’t make a big fuss.”

Wu Rou thought so, and said angrily:

"Then let's forget it? I feel uncomfortable."

Li Shan sighed slightly, turned around, and ordered Arthurs;

"Go and call the leader over and tell him that I have something to tell him. By the way, secretly give the old man some more copper coins and ask her to go back and buy medicine."

Arthurs responded quickly and said:

"I know this, sir, don't worry."

After saying that, she walked over, said a few words to the leopard who was about to leave, then leaned down, picked up the remaining copper coins for the old woman, and pulled her outside.

Golden Leopard looked at Li Shan, touched his nose, and walked over with a smile on his face.

He glanced at Wu Rou, then at Yan Wei and Li Hong who was holding him, and then saluted Li Shan:

"This young master, I don't know what I want to do if I call the villain here."

Li Shan thought for a while, took off his cloak, revealed his face, and said quietly:

"I just came out of home. I saw the heroes acting very strangely. I want to make some friends. What would you call me?"

The golden leopard looked at Li Shan's face and saw that he behaved in an elegant manner, unlike anyone he had ever seen. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed and replied:

"The villain's surname is Shen, and the adults all call the villain Shen San'er... At first glance, the young master is not a mortal. He is not from Luoyang, right?"

Li Shan smiled slightly and said:

"It's true, it's just that my wife's natal family is here, and I accompanied her to visit her relatives. As far as I know, the court does not collect market taxes from farmers. I wonder who you are collecting the money for?"

Golden Leopard Shen San'er immediately burst into laughter again, very polite and flattering, even with a bit of familiarity, and said: "Hey... I see that the young master is also from the family of Zhongming Dingshi, and he doesn't often go to the market. People walking around here definitely don’t know the doorways here. Under this law, there are rules, which vary from place to place.

I don't know about other places, but here we just charge them.

The county magistrate tacitly agreed to leave several streets in this area to me, and there are others in other places.

Every month, I turn in part and I keep part for myself. I mainly work for the county government to manage the order of the city and avoid causing trouble. "

Wu Rou sneered in her heart and thought:

It's really rare for this ruffian to forcefully charge protection fees for occupying land, and he can do so in such a high-sounding and righteous way.

Li Shan said "Oh?" very gently, with a hint of curiosity in his silence, and his voice was really nice. He said calmly:

"I really don't know. This is not the place to talk. I don't know if you have time. Let's go talk elsewhere. I like to hear this."

Golden Leopard Shen San looked at him, hesitant.

He often hangs out in the market, and he knows that if a small person wants to live in the market for a long time, he must have a bright eye and know who can and cannot be offended.

For example, in that novel, any local gangster who challenges a big shot with unknown origins and well-dressed people is really not smart enough and is unreasonable.

Aren’t they even inferior to the old farmers selling sweet potatoes on the street?

This group of people, even the guard, looked different from ordinary people. The status of this young master and his wife must be extraordinary.

Although you shouldn't trust strangers easily, after thinking about it, if you can climb up to this person's identity, you might be able to reach a higher level.

After thinking about it, I really don't want to give up this opportunity so easily.

"Ah, okay, I'm fine, sir, please." Shen San'er said, bowed and stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation.

As soon as Li Shan took a step forward, the guards on both sides immediately moved, automatically guarding him and Wu Rou as they walked out of the street.

The crowded alley, with people coming and going, returned to its usual lively self after everyone watched them leave, and there seemed to be no disturbance at all.

Shen San'er followed Li Shan out of the alley alone, and the people following him naturally stayed in the alley to "maintain order."

When they arrived at the carriage, Arthur, who had gone to settle the old woman, also turned back. She looked at the leopard following, a little confused, but did not dare to say a word.

Li Shan turned his face slightly and said to her:

"Let this person named Shen San ride in your carriage."

Arthur brought his own carriage, but she didn't sit in it. She walked beside Wu Rou's carriage and walked on her legs.

Although she didn't understand, she immediately responded and stretched out her hand to lead him over.

As soon as Shen San'er left, Li Shan said to Yan Wei next to him:

"As soon as he got into the car, you tied him up and secretly sent him to the palace. I have no time to care about him now."

Yan Wei heard this, bowed and said "yes", and followed him with the sword on his waist.
