At 9 o'clock on the second day.

A group of four people came to a vermilion gate located on Qianmen Street in City B and stood still.

These two doors look very magnificent, not to mention the two magnificent stone lions on both sides of the door.

The rivet caps on these two doors alone are the size of a teacup.

The door frame of this house is three meters high, which is much higher than the neighbor's house.

A long plaque is hung on the door frame, and the gilt words are written on it:

"Shojo"

Yang Qiu saw that Da Mao was wearing a gray coat today, and his head seemed to be anointed, shiny......

I know that today's occasion is extraordinary.

"What is the business village for......

Yang Qiu looked up at the magnificent plaque and asked.

"In recent years, there have been more and more foreign businessmen, and there have been more and more people who do not abide by the rules of business. ”

"You don't let me fight for resources, I don't let you, and your peers are fighting fiercely. ”

"Later, the local old merchants came up with a way to select a representative from each of the thousands of merchants in the old nine lines to form this commercial ......"

Da Mao replied.

"Oh...... Which nine elements are included in the old nine elements, and what are the specific responsibilities of this merchant village on weekdays?"

Yang Qiu actually had some interest in this business, and hurriedly asked.

"Food, clothing, medicine, tea, wine, smoke, drama and slaughter. ”

Da Mao blurted out his mouth like a slippery back, "This is the old nine lines." ”

"The merchant is maintained by the annual tea table money paid by the merchants, and is responsible for intervening, adjudicating and mediating conflicts between the merchants in the association internally, and protecting the safety and interests of local merchants externally. ”

"I am one of the nine presidents and the fifth president of the Bunhang Bank. ”

Speaking of this, Da Mao deliberately straightened his back, looking a little proud.

"Since you have the responsibility to protect the foreign business, then this thing is not easy to do, who designed to occupy your store, you explain the reason clearly, and let the merchant take the lead for you!"

"If only it were as simple as you said, do you know who the third-ranked leader of the medicine store is?"

Da Mao shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Who's ......?"

Yang Qiu asked.

"It's the son of the man surnamed Chang who conspired with the Lei family. I usually only know his surname Gu, who would have thought that this kid has his mother's surname, and he is too low-key on weekdays, so we can't imagine that behind this pharmacy is the Chang family. ”

Da Mao replied with a wry smile.

"So what, just reason with him!"

Yang Qiu said excitedly.

"Alas......"

Da Mao shook his head and said:

"How can it be so simple, the rules are cloudy: whoever is the leader of the group must not fight inwardly. The infighting is like an ant that breaks the embankment, and breaks its wrist to apologize. ”

"Oh...... Didn't understand. ”

Yang Qiu was born in the countryside and barely knew how to read, as for the rules and regulations, he definitely couldn't understand them.

"When you are the president of the Nine Elements, you can't make trouble with the people who are also the presidents, and whoever provokes trouble will cut off one of his own arms. ”

When Da Mao said this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Then you're going to make trouble? I can tell you, I'm only saying what I know, and as for whether people will cut off your arm, ...... It's none of my business!"

Yang Qiu was a little scared and reiterated his point of view again.

"What can you do if you're afraid, right now, this is the only way to go. Today is the day of the meeting, if you don't make trouble today, when will you wait? Sixth brother, knock on the door!!

Da Mao narrowed his eyes and said fiercely.

His eyes weren't big, and when he squinted, he looked a little like Garfield......

Fan Liuliu strode to the door, grabbed the copper ring on the golden lion's mouth on the door, and ...... with his right arm

"Boom...... Boom...... Boom ......"

The shock made the Zhumen tremble, and the snow on the door frame and behind the plaque fell in a slump......

"Squeak ......"

The door opened, and two burly men stood inside the door, saying:

"Who's knocking on the door!"

The tone was rather dissatisfied.

"It's me, I'm late, don't blame you. ”

Da Mao took a step forward and said to the two.

"Mao ...... Fifth Master Mao, you're finally here, ...... Hurry up, please, the owner of Bai Zhuang, they are waiting for you, his old man is not in a good mood today, if he scolds you for a while, you can bear with ......"

One of the two who was ruthless just now said flatteringly, and between the words, Fang Cai's spirit had long been gone.

"Thank you both for the reminder,"

Da Mao reached into his arms, took out two banknotes, and handed them to the two of them, "Yang Qiu, come with me......"

The two looked at the banknotes in their hands, and then at Fan Liu.

Even when going to the council chamber, each person can bring a guard into the inner hall.

It's just that Fan Liu was the one who usually followed up, but today he has changed.

Seeing that Fan Liu's expression was normal, the two did not show disappointment, and they were unwilling to interrogate them in detail.

After inviting Fan Liu and Bai Hongsheng to sit on the stone bench in the door, the two went straight back to the hut on the right side of the door......

Yang Qiu followed Da Mao and walked towards the inner courtyard chamber.

Although it was winter, there was not a trace of snow on the inside of this courtyard.

When I entered the gate, I saw a moon gate with white walls and green tiles not far ahead.

The walls around the Moon Gate are covered with dry vines.

From a distance, it looks like cracks in the wall......

I can enter the door, but there is a cave, I can't imagine that this business village is so vast and wonderful.

First of all, there is a boxy artificial lake with an area of about 80 square meters.

It's a pity that this is in winter, and they can't see the "true face" of this small lake, so the two stepped on the bridge in the middle of the lake.

Walking along the carved path of the lake, the two walked to the largest hall facing the bridge in the middle of the lake.

In front of the hall, there is a nine-sided big tripod, each side is printed with the totem of the nine sons of the dragon, and the text is in the center:

Food, clothing, medicine, tea, literature, wine, tobacco, drama, slaughter.

One word on each side.

It symbolizes the old nine elements of the same qi and branches, and the business village speaks in a word.

"Master Bai, the junior Mao Feng is late, I hope you will forgive your sins!"

Da Mao faced the hall and shouted.

"It's okay, come in!"

Yang Qiu could tell from his voice that this person was very old, but his voice was loud and full of confidence.

Although he was not seen, he could be known by his voice alone, and this person must be extraordinary.

"It turns out that your name is Mao Feng, haha......"

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me......"

The two of them came to the hall one after the other.

The room was very warm.

Yang Qiu saw that under a beautifully framed Eight Immortals crossing the sea chart at the entrance, on a Taishi chair, sat an old man with a black face, white hair and white beard.

He was wearing a white linen Tai Chi suit, looking heroic and sassy, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.

On both sides of the hall, there are four other Taishi chairs, except for the first vacancy on the right hand, there are people sitting in other positions, and behind them stands a burly man in sunglasses.

Everyone cast curious glances at Yang Qiu, wondering what kind of heavenly skills this thin man had to take Fan Liu's place.

Yang Qiu felt that everyone's eyes in the hall seemed to be gathered by him, and he was so nervous that he was sweating.

After he saw Da Mao sit down, he hurriedly followed the example of others and stood behind Da Mao......

"Brother come here......"

Da Mao turned around, grabbed Yang Qiu's thin arm, and "invited" him to his side.

Da Mao clearly felt that Yang Qiu's body was trembling.

The young man from the countryside, where has he ever come up to this stage, in front of everyone, he feels that his mind can no longer control his body movements.

"Old Five, which one are you singing?"

President Shen of the Fourth Tea House asked.

"Master Bai, Fourth Brother, ...... everyone"

Da Mao stood up, bowed his hand to everyone in the hall one by one, turned around again, faced Bai Ye, and said with a torch in his eyes:

"Everyone is here today, please comment on me, my famous pavilion and your Huichun Hall have always been well water and not river water, why do you want to use tricks to take away my Mao family's foundation, today I want to ask you for an explanation in front of everyone!"

After that, Da Mao stretched out his right index finger forward, and it was the one sitting opposite him, sitting in the second chair, the young hall master of the Rejuvenation Hall, Gu Wuji.

Everyone was shocked, and everyone knew that there was a dispute between the hall masters openly involving business, and once it was verified, the party responsible must cut off one of his arms, and from then on quit the business village, and no longer be blessed......

"Ridiculous, what are you messing around here!"

The white owner slapped the table and shouted.

"What am I messing about, the boss of the pharmaceutical factory colluded with Lei Erwei and Hu Laoer to set a trap in a vain attempt to embezzle my shop......"

Da Mao's eyes widened, recklessly venting the pressure of the past few days.

The two thieves of Maling died in the mountains and fields, and the blood-eyed jade disappeared.

He failed to trust money, so he could only keep his promise and compensate the other party three times the agreed amount, and how could he deny it in black and white.

Finally, on the day of the beginning of winter, Da Mao moved out of Mingtange

This is the inheritance passed down from our ancestors......

"You say this...... What does it have to do with me?"

Gu Wuji's tone was calm, and he didn't make any waves......

Yang Qiu secretly sighed in his heart, this is the person who has a big scene.

Da Mao looks too immature compared to him......

"Don't pretend to be garlic, isn't that boss surnamed Chang your father! What he did, can you not know?

Da Mao is still roaring......

When everyone heard this, it turned out that the owner of the pharmaceutical factory was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of the Rejuvenation Hall, and they all looked surprised at the moment.

"Hmm...... He is my dad, what can he say, my dad went to your house to trust your credibility, is there anything wrong......"

It's still that annoying tone, not happy, not angry, not in a hurry.

When Da Mao heard this, he was even more angry, and he wanted to open his mouth to scold again.

"Mao Lao Wu, you are still not finished, don't you really want your own arm!"

The owner of the white village snorted sharply, this voice was full of confidence, deafening, and Da Mao was suddenly frightened by this sudden voice.

At the moment, he is the one who provokes trouble, if he doesn't come up with evidence and blindly insults Gu Wuji, then he must be the one who is passive in the end.

"You...... I've seen you, and on this occasion, I seem to be ...... I think I've seen ...... somewhere."

Yang Qiu, who was beside Da Mao, suddenly stared at Gu Wuji with straight eyes, and said such a sentence unexpectedly.

"You must be mistaken, we shouldn't have crossed paths. ”

Gu Wuji didn't raise his head and said coldly.

"No, no...... I want to think about it...... Let me think about ......"

Yang Qiu shook his head desperately, as if he was trying to remember.

Suddenly, Yang Qiu shouted and said tremblingly:

"I ...... I remembered, in my dream last night...... I...... I think...... Seeing the exact same scene as today, in the scene, I see you ......"

"How I ......"

Obviously, Yang Qiu's series of abnormal actions made Gu Wuji a little unable to sit still.

"You lay in a pool of blood, motionless......"

Yang Qiu's expression was hideous, he pointed at Gu Wuji and said.
