Xianao

Chapter 13 Lianhu Yalou
Mangchuk City is surrounded by mountains and has a beautiful environment. There is a stone bridge in the center of the county town, and there is a small river below it. The water in the river is crystal clear, only one foot deep.This river flows through the whole city, flows down from the high mountains in the east, passes through the city, and disappears in the Junling mountain forest in the west.

Master Liu led Yu Huacheng on the bridge and said:

"This river is called the Yuxi River. It passes through the city. It is said that it is the leyline of Mangkhut City. No one in the city is allowed to throw rubbish into this river to wash clothes. If you catch fish in the water, you will be fined heavily. They even drive out Mangkhut. city.

This stone bridge is Yuqiao, and after crossing this bridge, it is Yuqiao Street.With the Yuxi River as the boundary, these three streets in the south are your site. This site starts from the Yuxi River in the north, goes to Gulang Street in the south, extends to the purple bamboo forest outside the city in the west, and reaches the edge of Mashi in the east. This is your site. .In addition to the Yuqiao Street site in the city, there are also three villages and towns outside the city, Majiazhai, Lijiagan, and Zhaojiatun, which are also under your jurisdiction.

There is a free market on this site, which mainly exchanges and auctions precious goods found in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.There are thirteen hotels, 34 shops, seven inns, two rice shops, one coffin shop, and the largest Rouge Building in the city is also on this site.It is because of the existence of this Rouge building that this site is the most prosperous and the most troublesome. "

When Yu Zecheng heard this, he took out five taels of silver, handed it over, and said:
"I'd like to ask Mr. Liu to explain it in detail, and then I will ask Mr. Liu to give me some pointers."

Liu Huzi put Wenyin away and said:

"This Rouge Building is the best restaurant, brothel, hotel, and casino in the whole city. You see, the building to the west is just there. From there to the purple bamboo forest outside the city, it is all owned by others. There is also a small man-made lake on the side of the purple bamboo forest, which can be said to be absolutely wonderful.

This is a restaurant directly under the Shi family, which is mainly used for negotiations between the Shi family, passing merchants, and visitors from the mountains.All the wealthy customers who come out of the mountains, and the caravans that enter the mountains, will come here to spend a lot of money. In fact, they are just curry favor with the Shi family.It can be said that the income of this Rouge Building is equal to half of the income of all the merchants in Mangkhut City.Do you think this site can't be prosperous?Can you please?
But this is nothing to you. The 33rd generation disciple of the Shi family, Shi Tianlong, is in control of the Rouge Building. It is said that we can invite Young Master Bai and the others to help us. It was Master Ma who invited him to help us. Therefore, Master Bai must have explained that Shi Tianlong will never make things difficult for you.

Let's go there first to worship the mountain, and after getting Shi Tianlong's approval, it can be said that you have firmly controlled this street.At the beginning of every month, you have to collect money on this street. This is a fixed amount, and a younger brother will tell you the specific amount at that time.

But one thing to pay attention to is that the Rouge Building also charges, although we can say how much it charges, but this is a rule and must not be broken. Remember that no matter what shop you have to pay, if you don’t pay, you will bleed and die , This is our way of survival, and the final bottom line must not be broken.

But as long as he approves of you, he will definitely hand it over. Fangzheng will give us the front hand, and we have to give them the back hand.

Half of the regular silver we collect every month has to be handed over to the government, which is actually the Shi family. To a certain extent, we are the tax collectors of the Tang Kingdom.The rest of the money is your income except for the fixed amount of money that is handed over to the rudder.I'm just talking briefly about this, and I'll talk to you in detail later, by the way, do you have a master?It is better to leave such tedious matters to the master. "

Yu Zecheng replied:

"I have hired my father's friend Gao Feng, and he will be here tomorrow."

Liu Huzi nodded and said:

"Nicknamed the peak of extracting oil from the stone? Haha, my brother is indeed a boy born from a hero. Since you have this heart, I will support you, but you have to be careful of Tan Erlang. He sees that you can use fairy arts and can't be positive. Against you, small means will emerge in endlessly."

As soon as he said this, Yu Zecheng immediately understood Liu Huzi's mentality. At the banquet just now, Tan Erlang respected Shi Tianyun, but he didn't care about Liu Huzi. , then Liu Huzi's master's position must be deprived, and there will be absolutely no good end, so he showed his favor to himself.

Yu Zecheng immediately said:
"Thank you Master Liu for your guidance. If you have anything to do, just ask Master Liu. I will definitely be able to do it."

Liu Huzi said:
"Okay, happy."

While talking to each other, they came to the gate of Yanzhi Building. The main building of Yanzhi Building is a three-story stone building.Even a gate tower is extremely rich and majestic. The outer walls of the pillars of the stone tower are carved with Spring and Autumn myths and ancient legends.The red carpet in front of the Rouge Building exudes a sense of wealth and nobility.

In front of the door, there are eighteen clever servants who take care of the horses and carry the luggage for the guests.There are also six guides who receive guests, who can speak well. Even the down-and-out people in rags, the guides are extremely enthusiastic, treat them equally, and let them into the building.

When Liu Huzi arrived here, a welcome guest came over to greet him immediately:
"Master Liu is here, please come inside, Xiao Cui misses you so much, there is a new batch of Nuu Hong inside, it is a 20-year-old fine wine produced by Tianxing Building in Mu Country, it is definitely delicious."

Liu Huzi waved his hand and said:
"Wait, I have business to do this time. This is the new deacon of our Shihu sub-helm, Yu Zecheng, who is in charge of Yuqiao Street, and now we come here specially to pay homage to the mountain gate."

After speaking, he took out a post and solemnly handed it to the welcome guest.The welcome guest no longer showed signs of laughter, took it with both hands, and said in a deep voice:
"Wait a moment, I will report right away."

After speaking, turn around and enter the Rouge Building.Liu Huzi and Yu Zecheng were waiting outside, they didn't have much time, and immediately there was loud laughter, and a group of people came from a distance.

Liu Huzi said in a low voice:
"It's done. That's Shi Tianlong. In the past, the Wild Wolf Gang was just a receptionist for changing deacons. It seems that my brother really has face. Shi Tianlong came here in person."

The people on the opposite side came out, and one of them was about 40 years old, tall and mighty, like a big man like a bear, it was Shi Tianlong.He walked up to Yu Zecheng, hugged Yu Zecheng in his arms, and said:

"When my brother Bai left, he specifically asked me to take good care of brother Yu. Today is finally here. Well, it really is a hero born a boy."

After speaking, let go, Yu Zecheng bowed and said:
"senior……"

Shi Tianlong said:
"Senior, I am Brother Bai's eldest brother, that is, your eldest brother, so I call you eldest brother."

Yu Zecheng said:
"Hello, big brother, I ask for your support when I first come to the ramp."

Shi Tianlong said:
"Why are you being polite, I just hit you off, remember you are my younger brother, everyone listens to me, this is my younger brother, anyone who provokes him in this Mangosteen city will provoke me, and I will kill him.

Liu Huzi, go back and tell Tan Lao Er that if he does anything to my younger brother, I will disable his legs and make him crippled. "

These words were loud and resounded through the entire street, criticizing Tan Erlang mercilessly, showing his support for Yu Zecheng to the fullest.Although Yu Zecheng knew that he did this because of Bai Hexi's face, but in the face of such enthusiastic support, there was still a warm current in his heart.This is an opportunity, you must seize it and take advantage of it.

Yu Zecheng also shouted loudly:

"Okay, I recognize you as a brother. If anyone provokes you in the future, I will destroy him as well."

Yu Zecheng took the opportunity to make a heroic oath, which is equivalent to two people making an oath and forming an alliance, which can be regarded as completely biting and nailing Shi Tianlong's words just now, and not giving him a chance to repent.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and no one took what the little kid said seriously, but they forgot a word, don't bully the young and poor.

Shi Tianlong was taken aback for a moment, he took a careful look at Yu Zecheng, then smiled and said:

"Okay, good intentions, it really is a hero out of a boy. Come on, let's go in and have three drinks."

After speaking, he dragged Yu Zecheng into the Rouge Building, Liu Huzi smiled and followed him in.Under the leadership of Shi Tianlong, everyone walked through several beautiful and flowery alleys, and walked into the depths of the building group of Rouge Building.

After walking for a while, passing a rockery, suddenly the front suddenly opened up, and a lake appeared, which was a full acre in size, and in the distance was the purple bamboo forest outside the city.

There is actually such a lake among these mountains, the lake is not big, but the Yuxi River flows through this lake, the lake is running water, and there are countless fish swimming in it, all of which are a kind of strange jinmao carp.There are some lotus and lotus roots on the lake. They reflect the scenery of the lake, like a fairyland. In the center of the lake, there is a two-story wooden building standing on the water. Leave Yu Zecheng in a daze.

Shi Tianlong said:
"Not bad, brother, this is the highest-grade Tianya Building in our Rouge Building."

After speaking, he walked towards the water, stood on the lake, and walked towards the central building.Yu Zecheng was startled, looked carefully, and found that there was a pontoon bridge under his feet, which was level with the water surface, and walking on the pontoon bridge was like walking on the water surface.

Yu Zecheng followed closely behind. They walked on the pontoon bridge like immortals, crossed the lotus field, and entered the pavilion on the water.

When he walked to the pavilion, Yu Zecheng looked carefully and found that there was a marble base under the pavilion, not floating on the water.

Walking into the pavilion, the decoration in the building is simply suffocating. The walls are even inlaid with gold leaf and ancient jade. Countless famous calligraphy and paintings are arranged in a row, and the layout is reasonable, making people extremely comfortable.

At this time, two beauties approached, their makeup was elegant, their appearance was as beautiful as a flower, and they didn't have the sensuality of brothel girls at all. The two of them knelt beside Yu Zecheng, one handed over a hot towel, and the other exchanged it for Yu Zecheng. shoe.

Yu Zecheng didn't show any embarrassment, and accepted it calmly, completely ignoring the beauty of the two women.It was not at all obvious that he was a 14-year-old boy.

This scene was watched by Shi Tianlong and Liu Huzi, Shi Tianlong frowned, and turned his head to stare at one of his subordinates. According to the investigation of his subordinates, this Yu Zecheng was just an ordinary boy, his family was poor, and he knew how to make good soup. Somehow, Bai Hexi and Bai Hexi met eyes and became good friends.

But the current Yu Zecheng has a tinge of youthfulness, and is completely a seasoned quack.
