The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 88 Fireworks

"Stop!"

The two strong men on horseback in front of the convoy saw Qin Zhiming raising his hand and immediately shouted to the back.

In front of them was the territory under Qin Zhiming's jurisdiction.

The next moment, countless strong men carrying buckets and wearing black cloth to cover their mouths and noses poured out from the site.

They went in groups of four to the wheels of each carriage.

Pour the lime water in the bucket onto the wheels to wash away the dirt on them.

After all the carriages were washed, the convoy continued to move forward and drove into the site.

At this time, Qin Zhiming said to the strong man on horseback next to him:

"Tell the brothers and girls that those who don't want to wear the black cloth can take it off."

The sturdy man nodded and turned his horse around to inform them one by one.

After a while, the girls opened the windows, tore off the black cloth, and breathed in the fresh air outside.

They saw that the long street here was completely different from other places in the outer city and still retained its former bustling atmosphere.

There was a constant stream of passers-by and vendors hawking their wares, and there were even naughty kids holding buns in their hands and playing with each other on the roadside.

Such a long convoy driving in the middle of the road was already eye-catching, and coupled with the countless sounds coming from the cars and the beautiful women peeking out, it attracted the attention of passers-by.

But what was strange was that the girls discovered that the passers-by looked at the strong men with no fear, only curiosity.

Unlike the inner city where they were before, passers-by avoided the yamen runners in fear.

This is because the yamen runners forcibly collected taxes on false charges all day long, making passers-by afraid when they saw them.

Has there never been similar bullying happening here?
Otherwise, why weren't the pedestrians afraid of the strong men around them armed with crossbows?

Suddenly, a horse neighed.

It turned out that the naughty children were playing and ran into the middle of the road and were almost hit by the horses.

This forced the strong man on horseback to tighten the reins and force the horse to stop.

"Whose child is this? Take care of him!" The sturdy man muttered and dismounted.

He took out a few copper coins, stuffed them into the peddler's arms, and pulled a candied haws off the straw stick on his shoulder.

He squatted down and handed it to the child who was crying loudly because he was frightened by the horse.

The child burst into laughter when he saw the candied haws.

Help the child up, pat his butt, and push him back to the curb.

The sturdy man turned around and found that the girls in the carriage were all staring at him.

His face turned a little red, he straightened his chest, mounted his horse and continued on his way.

"Sister, the people here are completely different from the Jingtao Gang."

A petite and lovely girl in a green dress said to Zhan Hongchou beside her:

Zhan Hongchou nodded. If this happened in the Jingtao Gang’s territory, the child’s behavior just now would have been to obstruct the transportation, and the child’s parents would have been skinned alive if not dead.

"I hope it will be the same after we enter the inn."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Baifu Inn.

When the shopkeeper saw the approaching convoy, he immediately shouted to his waiter to make tea quickly.

With a creak, the carriage stopped.

The shopkeeper quickly ran to Qin Zhiming who was getting off the car:

"Master Tiger, we are ready here."

Qin Zhiming nodded and asked the strong man next to him to call the two gigolos over.

“You two, this inn is one of the best in the outer city.

The food is good and the place is clean, but it's not as fancy as the inner city areas.

There is another inn similar to this one, not far from here.

Someone will take you there later.

The inn will not accept other guests during your stay.

"Look? Do you want to change the land?"

"No, as long as it's habitable."

The two old men looked inside the inn.

The bright lobby, neatly arranged tables, chairs and benches, and the shelves behind the counter were all filled with reasonably priced, decent-tasting wines. Bright light shone in from the open windows on all four sides, making the entire inn look comfortable and warm.

The most important thing is that not far from the inn is the branch compound where Qin Zhiming is located.

Seeing the two turtle men showing satisfied smiles, Qin Zhiming patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder:

"As for the price... this is the innkeeper, you can negotiate it yourselves."

After he finished speaking, while the turtle owner and the shopkeeper were negotiating the price, he ordered his brothers to dismount and gather around him.

"You are full of vigor and vitality, so it's normal for you to be unable to walk when you meet a girl.

What's more, she is a girl from the inner city.

But when it comes to matters between men and women, it’s about mutual consent.

Even girls in brothels have to do so.

Don't let me find out that someone is using the Fanhai Gang or my name to threaten others, otherwise you know the consequences.

As for inducements... "

Qin Zhiming said this, took out a heavy purse from his arms and threw it to a strong man.

"This is your reward for going out this time. How you spend it is up to you.

Half of the people stayed behind, and the rest took the girls who had not gotten off the convoy to the Changshun Inn. "

"Thank you, Brother Hu!" The strong men laughed and rushed to the carriages in front of the convoy, and seriously asked the girls to get off and stay in the hotel.

"how's it going?"

Qin Zhiming glanced at Di Yanfeng who was helping Zhan Hongchou off the horse not far away, and then shifted his gaze to the smiling shopkeeper.

At this time, A Da was dozens of steps away, helping the madams who got off the car carry their luggage.

Ah Er was at the back of the convoy, explaining to the girls who had not gotten off the bus that they had to keep moving forward.

The shopkeeper was the only one left standing there.

“Brother Hu, people in the inner city are really particular.

Everyone should have vegetables, meat, fruits and melons for three meals a day and boil water for a bath every night.

The beds and bedding are changed every two days.

Every household should replace the wooden basins used for washing faces with copper basins, and use fine salt for brushing teeth.
Hot water every day, on demand. ”

"Is this request impossible?"

The shopkeeper shook the heavy purse given by the old man in his hand and shook his head quickly:
"If I can't do it, it will damage the reputation of my inn. It's nothing more than hiring more waiters.

It just so happens that recently many people in the neighborhood have asked me if this place accepts guests, so it’s the best of both worlds.”

Suddenly, the shopkeeper opened his purse and took out a large portion of it.

Before he could hand it over, Qin Zhiming grabbed his wrist.

"What are you doing? Have you forgotten the rules? We only collect protection money every month.

You have paid this month, and next month your salary will be increased by 20%. You can keep the money for yourself."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly:
"This big deal was brought in by you, Brother Tiger, and the other party paid a really large amount of money.

He didn’t even bargain for the price I offered, and even gave me an extra 50%…”

"Then you should work harder, hire more waiters, and take good care of these customers.

By the way, you just said that recently many people have asked you if you are hiring?"

The shopkeeper stuffed the money back into the purse:

“Yes, it seems that the neighbors’ relatives outside came here to seek refuge with them.

This is one of the few places in the county that is not in chaos now. All this is thanks to you, Brother Hu."

"Okay, go and do your work."

After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Qin Zhiming came to Ah Er's side:

“I will not go to that inn later, a brother will take you there.

As for the price, the inn will give you the same amount as you pay.

I'll send someone to give you some flares later.

If you encounter an emergency, shoot one.

The brothers patrolling nearby will come over immediately if they hear it. "

After Ah Er followed the remaining carriages and left, Qin Zhiming came to Ah Da, who was assigning the girls to enter the store:
"Who is the madam who has stayed in Wanhua Tower the longest?"
