When you arrive at a new place, there is usually a procedure, which is to worship the pier. If you don't go through this process, business won't go well in general. Of course, there are exceptions, and that is - make yourself a dock.

The noise downstairs was getting louder and louder, and the residents who had eaten had left the storefront in fear, gathered in the street and looked inside. I smiled and motioned to Smith and Afra not to be afraid. Afra was grateful, but Smith had a wistful look on his face.

I knew what he was worried about, so I smiled and said, "Don't worry! I don't have any thoughts about you and your sister, in our Oriental parlance, it's called seeing the road uneven, drawing a sword to help! Walk! Come with us! ”

Seeing that they were still a little worried, I laughed and said, "Don't worry! No one in my place can hurt you! What do you think? Do you dare to come with me to meet these people? ”

Smith was a bold man, and he laughed and said, "I'm not afraid when we deal with it alone, let alone have a friend like Mr. Suzuki!" So he took Afla's hand and said, "Let's go!" Younger sister! Let's go check it out with Mr. Suzuki! Rest assured! You'll be fine with me! ”

Afra shook her lips and nodded bravely, and although her face was still pale, she followed her brother down to the first floor.

Seeing the performance of this brother and sister, I nodded secretly in my heart. If a person has no courage, then even if he is saved once, he will not be able to save his whole life! Isn't it?

At this time, the first floor was already a mess, the remains of tables, chairs, benches, cups, plates and bowls were intertwined and shattered, and several men shrank at the top of the stairs, although weak, but they did not give an inch, holding kitchen utensils in their hands, confronting the people who came to make trouble.

I glanced at it, and there were about twenty or thirty people who had come to make trouble, all wearing coarse black shirts, with a big circle on their backs, and the word "righteousness" written on them. All of them are fierce and vicious, and they have knives and sticks in their hands, and in short, they have everything. They arched the two of them in front of them like stars and moons.

These two people are tall and short, but they are eighty percent similar in appearance. He has the head of the moon generation commonly used by Dongying folks, but the neck is slightly exposed with a tattoo that cannot be seen clearly. The two of them squinted at me, who had taken the lead, and looked at five or six men and women behind me, with a look of disdain.

The short man spoke first: "Are you the boss here?" ”

I smiled and replied, "Exactly!" Are you here for dinner? Or tea? Or is it a hotel? The existing houses are the best, welcome to patronize! ”

The short man laughed, and the horses behind him began to laugh wildly. After laughing for a while, the tall man pointed his knife at us and shouted, "My brother is the number one person in Hakata Pier, is your shabby storefront worthy of calling my brother?" ”

The horse boy behind him coaxed again, waving the object in his hand, trying to express the strength of the force.

I continued to laugh and said, "I didn't come here to patronize!" That's easy, leave a hundred taels of silver as compensation, and you can go! I don't embarrass you! ”

As soon as I said this, the other side was stunned, but then it broke out into even more lively laughter! The dwarf who took the lead couldn't straighten his waist with a smile, and slammed the table in front of him a few times with the stick in his hand, before he said breathlessly: "One hundred taels? Do you give it to me? Hahahaha! ”

Laughing and laughing, he suddenly straightened his face, pointed at me with a stick and said, "You Sun Ji storefront, can you get my permission before you open it?" I didn't even nod, why did you open a store? ”

The noise behind started again, but I laughed and didn't say anything, it seems that ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the ruffians and hooligans are all the same.

In fact, I also have multiple considerations for helping Smith today. On the one hand, the brother and sister are really pitiful as strangers in a foreign land. On the one hand, their accents are indeed those of the orthodox London aristocracy, and in this era of heavily entrenched status, accents are largely a sign of identity, and if I am not bad, they will help me in my future plans.

As for the most important point, my experience has taught me that in this society that is not a rule of law, there is only one way to stand on your feet, and that is to show your strength!

According to Shu, since the establishment of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, we have encountered many difficulties, but the biggest difficulty comes from the dumping of local forces. Su is not a defenseless soft egg, but considering the commercial image, he still endures it again and again. It wasn't until it gradually grew bigger that it got better.

Nowadays, we are new to Hakata, and Hakata, as the port with the highest degree of openness to the outside world, must be in addition to the official on the surface, there will be no shortage of flies and dogs in the secret! After all, in my previous life, I belonged to the group of people who walked in the dark, and I still knew these routines very well.

So I put away my smile and said coldly, "It seems that you don't plan to be good today!" In that case, let's talk about it, let me hear what you think? ”

The tall man behind the short man pointed at the Smith siblings behind me with the * in his hand and shouted, "Look! Brother, the pair of Westerners they are there! How dare you beat up our Righteous Society! It also hinders us from collecting our debts! If you don't come up with enough compensation today, you won't open this store! ”

After saying this, the horses behind him became even more vicious, and began to smash the surrounding furniture with the weapons in their hands, and for a while there were bumper pongs, and sawdust flew everywhere.

I watched them make a fuss with a cold eye until they were tired and saw that I was so calm, and I stopped with some surprise.

The short man looked at me with a sneer, and his heart was also a little uneasy, and he waved the stick twice, and yelled at me in a fierce manner: "Don't you understand? Take the compensation! Hand over the siblings! Otherwise, your shop will close today! ”

I looked at them, and when I saw that these people were all furious, I suddenly showed a big smile and said, "Okay! One yard to one yard, let's solve it one by one! ”

After that, I looked back at Smith and said, "Tell me about the dispute between you!" Your business is simple, solve yours first! ”

A hint of determination flashed in Smith's eyes, and he took out a piece of paper from his arms, opened it, and pointed to the handwriting on it, "Look! I borrowed 20 yuan from them and agreed to pay them back 25 yuan a month! I worked hard every day to finally pay it off! But they said that the interest rate had risen to fifty percent! It's a robbery! This is the act of robbers! ”

The tall man interrupted him, pointed his knife at Smith, and said, "It's five hundred times now!" If you can't pay back the money, you will pay off your sister's debts! ”

The horses behind all shouted with a wicked smile: "Yes! Debt! Debt! ”

Afra's face turned pale and she hid behind Smith.

I smiled and looked around, and I saw a figure, but I pretended not to see it, and shouted at the sky: "Hakata is an open port, isn't there a public speaker who comes out to take care of things?" ”

In the ears of some people, this sentence is tantamount to a thunderclap on the ground. What I shouted was directed at the inaction of the administrative agencies here, which is a very critical matter for a port that stands on a commercial basis, and it is directly related to the business environment and commercial credit, and my managers have to pay attention to this issue.

The crowd suddenly began to talk, and after a while, a man walked out, this person was in his thirties, quite burly, dressed as an orthodox samurai, and pinned two handfuls, one long and one short, to his waist. He walked between the two of us in square steps and said loudly, "Hakata is naturally managed by someone, and this gentleman is serious!" ”

I sneered and said, "Someone manages? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the mess in the room, which was very ironic.

When the samurai entered, the troublemakers were frightened and did not dare to say anything. At this time, hearing that I was so unkind to this person, I immediately waved my weapon and shouted, "You guy, how dare you be so disrespectful to Takahashi-sama? You don't want to die! ”

I frowned slightly, Takahashi-sama?

So I said with a cold face: "I'm talking about a rational word, but it's not about whose face it is." I don't know what this Takahashi-sama said? ”

Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Takahashi-sama's face, and he gave me a thumbs up and said, "This gentleman is really very courageous!" I admire Takahashi Shaoyun so much! It's just that I don't know exactly what happened today, but once I find out, I will definitely give you justice! ”

My heart moves, Takahashi Shaoyun? I actually ran into him!

Takahashi Shaoyun, formerly known as Yoshihiro Zhenli, later renamed Yoshihiro Zhen, and "Thor" Tachibana Michiyuki and called "Otomo Shuangbi", is the top military general in Kitakyushu. Later, he borrowed the word and inherited the family governor, changed his name many times, and finally passed on to the world in the name of the monk's name, called Takahashi Shaoyun.

He fought countless battles in his life, especially the Shimazu family, which was very strong, and fought all his life, and finally died heroically in the battle of Kitano. And his son, Takahashi Totora, who became the son-in-law of Tachibana Michiyuki's son-in-law, is also called Tachibana Muneshige, and finally helps Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeat the Shimazu family and unify the island of Kyushu!

This man was hailed by later generations as a model of loyalty. Tachibana Muneshige, the son of the Tachibana family, was given the territory of 130,000 koku in Yanagawa in the area of Chikuzen Yanagawa for his meritorious service in assisting Hideyoshi in pacifying Kyushu Island, and in various battles in the future, he was known as the "undefeated wonder general".

When I saw him today, I was very touched in my heart, it seems that I am really a military general!

So I smiled and said, "It turned out to be Takahashi Shoyun, one of the 'Otomo Twin Walls'!" Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet! I just don't know, what do you think of today's events? ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, I didn't take his identity in my eyes at all, but spoke in the tone of a warrior, and Takahashi Shaoyun's eyes showed a hint of surprise! After looking me up and down for a long time, he looked back at the "Sun Ji" signboard at the door, and suddenly asked, "Dare to ask what Your Excellency is called!" ”

I smiled and said, "You can call me Suzuki Qilan, of course, I would prefer others to call me Sun Qilan!" ”

Hearing this name, Takahashi Shaoyun's eyes shrank for a while, and he suddenly laughed and said, "It turned out to be Sun Dian!" Then I'll watch the excitement with peace of mind today! As he spoke, he stepped aside with his hands in his hands, picked up an undamaged chair, and sat on it. He wiped the table with his sleeve again and shouted, "Serve tea!" ”

The men looked at me, and I smiled and said, "Didn't you hear the guests shouting for tea?" "Man, he's running!

I turned my head to look at Takahashi Shaoyun, frowned and asked, "But speaking of Takahashiden, as a magistrate, don't you control this kind of behavior?" ”

Takahashi Shaoyun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Sun Dian, don't make fun of me again!" In your store, you are the law, what are you pulling me for? ”

I squinted my eyes and asked, "What do I mean?" ”

Takahashi Shaoyun smiled and said: "With Sun Dian's strength, even if this store is demolished today, I'm afraid that a new one can be rebuilt tomorrow!" ”

Our conversation made both the tall and short duo and the Smith siblings behind me hear in a fog, and they vaguely felt that my identity was not simple, but they couldn't explain why.

So I laughed and said, "You guys! That's right, just say you weird! Listen, there are friends here today, and I won't ink with you! As he spoke, he pointed to Smith and said, "You! Give them back twenty-five times! ”

Smith exclaimed, "Good! So he took the package, counted twenty-five times, and threw it to the gang!

In front of me, I tore up the IOU. Then he sneered: "As for you, look at my store and charge you a cost price, a thousand yuan!" Take the money, and I will not care about your faults! ”

When the tall and short combination on the opposite side heard my words, they immediately scolded angrily! yelling that if it weren't for Takahashi Shaoyun's face, he would have demolished my shop today.

I sneered and said, "It was a toast just now, so you don't eat in the toast, and you eat and drink!" That's simple, two thousand runs! Plus one person and one right hand! Stay and go, otherwise, not a single one! ”

The tall man laughed angrily, "You're just stupid and crazy!" There are so many of us, you ask us for money! ”

I smiled and said, "Oh! It turned out to be more than a person! Saying that, he waved his hand, and the nine ghosts Zhengxiao whistled when he saw this, and suddenly dozens of figures appeared around, scattering and shooting out, and in a flash, the entire hotel was already surrounded tightly!

The surrounding crowd of onlookers shouted loudly! They were also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the knife-wielding crowd! But seeing these people wearing "Sun Ji" clothes, Fang Cai secretly settled in his heart, and at the same time marveled at the strength of this shopkeeper, I am afraid that the people who come to make trouble today will suffer a big loss!

Smith didn't see where these people came from, and he didn't know why they were so agile, but he already believed that I was absolutely confident in saying what I just said!

The tall and short combination and the horse boy were stunned and needless to mention, Takahashi Shaoyun looked at the ninja team that suddenly appeared, but showed a more interested expression!

Then let the fun begin!
