Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 87 Seems to be back on track
The Song family’s mansion has been sealed off for several days.

But the entire Sandao City still regards this incident as the hottest topic. From officials to peddlers, everyone will talk about it in their spare time, either gloating, or making curious guesses, but more often they curse.

Yesterday, the Sandacheng government office had made public the reasons why Song Qixun and the Song family were confiscated, and also revealed the crimes of the officials and merchants who were imprisoned together.

At this time, most people who didn't know the inside story realized that the Song family had been doing all kinds of evil in Sandao City for all these years! Not only did they collude with bandits, but they even colluded with demons? !
For a time, there were people kowtowing and thanking the government every day, saying that they were avenging the deaths of their relatives.

But no matter how much they cursed, life still had to go on. At least for the vast majority of ordinary people in Sandao City, the government office was a good thing except for the harm, but it was not enough for them to put down their work and celebrate.

Early in the morning, Li Mazi went to the black tavern again. Today was the day to settle the money for this month's private candy.

Nowadays, the private sugar business is getting more and more prosperous, and it has basically spread throughout the entire Sandao City and its surrounding areas. From the previous daily sales of 700 kilograms to the current daily sales of 900 kilograms, Li Mazi and his people have made a lot of money.

When it comes to dividing the money, there will naturally be a steady increase.

In Masheng Lane, anyone who is involved in the private sugar business or has contributed to it is smiling.
Just by looking at the fact that there have been many more gangsters from Masheng Lane in major brothels recently, you can tell that these people have become very wealthy.

"Master Li!"

"Master Li!"

Li Mazi smiled and put his hands behind his back. Along the way, people in Masheng Lane bowed and nodded to him. Everyone had a reserved and fearful look on their faces.

There will also be a day when I will make people scared!
Li Mazi was overjoyed. It had only been a few months? Not long ago, he was such a lowly person that no one cared about him. Who would behave inappropriately when seeing him now?
The call of "Master Li" comes from the heart.

Li Mazi knew the reason very well. On the one hand, it was because of his private sugar business. On the other hand, it was because the big boss in the East Market who wanted to extort money from him was now imprisoned in the case of "Song family colluding with bandits and evil spirits". There was no hope for him to get out alive.

After that, the news spread all over Masheng Lane and finally fell on Li Mazi.

Isn't this a coincidence? Just when he was about to blackmail Li Mazi, he was thrown into prison and left to die. Who would believe that this matter had nothing to do with Li Mazi?
After all, the private sugar business must be related to the government, otherwise it would not be possible. Li Mazi used the government's hand to deal with a big stall in Masheng Lane. This seemed to be a little against the rules of Masheng Lane, but it was not impossible.

In addition, Li Mazi is no longer alone. He has a family and five or six brave men under him. No one dares to mess with him in Masheng Lane. The only thing missing is that Master Dong gives Li Mazi the title of a big boss.

So now, few people call out the three names "Li Mazi" anymore, and even if they do, they do so in private, and no one calls him that in person anymore.

Walking along the way, Li Mazi finally dispersed his men to guard several alley entrances, and he entered a dilapidated dead end alley alone.

After many twists and turns, we finally entered a dilapidated house with a sloping roof. After waiting inside for a while, a man in an ordinary gray cloth shorts walked in.

"Master Yang!"

"Master Li?"

"No, no, no, Master Yang, just call me Li Mazi. If you call me that, I have to kneel down and listen." Li Mazi was startled. He bent his calves and was about to kneel down.

Li Mazi was not pretending. He really felt that Master Yang was very imposing. If he glared at you, you wouldn't dare to straighten your back.

Besides, who knows if this is Master Yang's way of testing him? If you really dare to agree, you'd be out of your mind. Yang Qian helped Li Mazi up, then smiled and said, "Okay, you're a well-known figure now, it's not appropriate to call you Li Mazi. Let's call you Li Deng. Your name is good, you can see far and wide, you'll have good luck in the rest of your life."

"Hehe, that's because I'm lucky to be following Master Yang, otherwise I, Li Mazi, would still be rolling in the mud, and I might die in the gutter one day without even knowing it."

As he spoke, Li Mazi promptly handed over this month's private candy account to Yang Qian.

"Master Yang, I'm recently preparing to reorganize the distribution channels that I set up as an emergency measure to avoid any trouble in the future. So even though the Song family is gone, I still haven't opened up the distribution channels. I'm slowly adding more goods while reorganizing the channels.

So the account has not increased too much during this period.”

Li Mazi knew that Yang Qian attached great importance to the steady income from the private candy business, and that he had a connection with Yang Qian, so he explained the problem with the accounts first, fearing that Yang Qian would misunderstand him as incompetent.

"Yes, it seems that you have figured out this business very thoroughly. Did your manager Shen teach you?" Yang Qian was becoming more and more confident in Li Mazi.

A few years ago, perhaps no one would have believed that a despicable person like Li Mazi could one day be associated with the word "calm".

"Hehe, Master Yang, it's clear that the woman at home did give some suggestions."

Yang Qian nodded. Li Mazi was indeed lucky. Not everyone has the good fortune to find a wife.

"When will you become a big shot?"

"I've talked to Uncle Yu before. I'll keep the candy business going and recruit five or six disciples who are capable of fighting. Then I can ask Master Tiger for the title of a big boss.

If it’s fast, it will take one year, if it’s slow, it will take two years at most.”

Yang Qian patted Li Mazi's shoulder with a half-smile and said, "You're still too slow. You're not a big stall owner. You can't stand up in Masheng Lane. You have to rely on Uncle Yu Zhou Quan's stall. This is not appropriate and not safe."

Without stalls, money and goods cannot flow in and out conveniently.

"Don't worry, Master Yang. I will try to use my connections and open my own stall within a year." Li Mazi felt embarrassed, but since Yang Qian had told him everything, he didn't have the courage to ignore it. He could only go down and think of other solutions.

But Yang Qian still shook his head and said, "I remember you said before that Uncle Yu had thought of letting you take his place, so that he could use you as a shield to get out of trouble. Right?"

Li Mazi was a little confused when Yang Qian suddenly mentioned Uncle Yu, but he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Master Yang. Uncle Yu has always wanted to go ashore, but he has no control over everything in Masheng Lane. He wants to retreat, but he dares not. Now that I have gained some momentum, he has this idea again.

If I can get up and take his place, I can help him block the aftermath, and he can rest assured after landing."

Yang Qian said, "Zhou Quan cannot retreat, but his position can be given to you in advance."

"Ah?" Li Mazi felt a little scared subconsciously. He had a premonition that the Mr. Yang in front of him was going to plan something again.
