In September, the drizzle made the whole Luoyang city dye hazy water vapor.

The dreary curtain on the sky is shaky, the wind blows down the raindrops, crackles on the cornices, falls rhythmically along the eaves in the old alleys, splashes on the stone slabs, and finally gathers into fine water and immerses into the ground, nourishes the water and soil, and brings a vitality and tranquility to the world.

The alley outside the window was silent, but the martial arts hall was brightly lit, cups of hot tea were steaming on the desk, the air was filled with the smell of hustle and bustle, shouting, guessing fists, and noisy noises, rudely intermingled together, as if they were about to make a noise. The rangers were so lively that they disturbed the silence of the smoke and rain outside the door.

After a month of operation, today's martial arts hall has a little fame, integrating accommodation, wine houses, and martial arts venues, giving Jianghu people a perfect place to go.

A few days ago, in order to attract traffic, Han Yan also came up with marketing methods...... Guess the riddle.

Those who guess the answer to the riddle have tea and snacks to eat, and give free accommodation, and send 100 yuan for travel expenses when leaving, which has this kind of benefit, which is quite popular with people from all walks of life.

Many travelers want to guess the riddle correctly without paying for it for nothing, but most of them don't have this ability, so they don't even have many literate people, and in the end they only cheapen the martial arts hall, which improves the flow of people and attention.

Most of the ranger groups that Han Yan wants to attract are also poor people, and they only come out to mix when they have no land, and after Ah San's publicity, the martial arts hall is often full, and the table is full of tea, all for free.

There are many people and disputes, everyone comes out to mix is a violent temper, the martial arts hall also provides a place for rangers to fight, if there is a quarrel, or see who is not pleasing to the eye, go to the ring to do a fight, the winner stays for free for three days, and the loser also gives bruises medicine, so in a month, it has become a familiar place for the ranger group.

- Fight and go to the martial arts hall, eat and drink for nothing, and take medicine.

- I also go to the martial arts gym to watch the fight, and it is very refreshing to punch to the flesh.

And with the passage of time, the martial arts hall will faintly become a place for rangers to settle personal grievances, if there is a grudge between any family, you can come here if you want to fight, you can also come here if you want to say that you can come here, and mediate with you under the witness of the rangers.

As a result, there were fewer fights on the street, and the free time in the martial arts arena was shorter, and the lecturer Mr. Shan Shi and the hall owner Han Erdan became famous among the ranger group in a short period of time, and they had a little nickname in Luoyang.

Of course, in order to create such a place, the martial arts hall is losing money every day, but Han Yan is happy to see it.

As for the method of cultivating immortals and the secret books of divine skills, he did not pass them on blindly, let alone develop into a cult.

Large-scale dissemination of this kind of thing can collect a lot of ignorant believers, wipe out the Ling clan, and even take down the Meng, but this will deviate from Han Yan's original intention, and it will also bring great harm to the people of the Han Dynasty.

Han Yan doesn't pass it on, Ah Yi and the others won't go out to talk nonsense, the master has fewer apprentices, there are fewer people to compete with you, and there are more opportunities to get the true inheritance, so the brothers are shrewd......

As the owner of the pavilion, Han Erdan's thing to do is to calm the field, occasionally accept the challenge of the doubter, beat that person violently, and more often act as a referee when the rangers fight, so as not to kill someone and kill someone.

Pig became the shopkeeper, managing the finances and business of the martial arts hall, occasionally mediating some disputes with his eloquent mouth, and passing the addiction of a peacemaker.

These days, Luoyang City is rainy and cloudy, and the rangers have nowhere to go, so they are prosperous in the wine house teahouse. Although the rangers in the martial arts hall are very unhappy with the scholars who are crepe, most of the people who can drink tea and eat snacks for free are these learned rotten talents.

"There is an object in the store, open the elephant pavilion, stand in the middle of a single column, there is flowing water on the top, and there are people walking below."

There is a wooden sign under the eaves in front of the martial arts hall, and there are puzzles engraved on it, there are Confucian students holding folding fans in their hands, wearing moonlight silk robes embroidered with lotus flowers, very coquettish, and the Danfeng eyes look like a bit of a woman's charming eyes like silk, and the voice is even more evil, the tone is slender and leisurely, and the slow Tiaosi concept a puzzle, deliberately attracting the attention of everyone inside, and then slowly shaking the folding fan to play chic, pretending to think about it and answering: "Umbrella." ”

The rangers in the martial arts hall who were puzzled by the puzzle suddenly realized, and some annoyed people patted the back of their heads, why didn't they think of it?

Someone solved the puzzle, and the quick-eyed pig immediately went out to greet him, and when he saw this son, he was stunned, and secretly said a sissy...... The Han Dynasty respected heroism and heroism everywhere, this kind of sissy dress and temperament - if anyone's child is dressed like this, his parents can be ashamed and die by the neighbors.

However, he was also well-informed, and he was stunned and said, "Your Excellency, please." ”

Confucian nodded lightly, raised his head slightly, and entered the door with a figure-eight step, looking very arrogant.

For this kind of Confucian who can pretend to be very forced, Han Yan was quite unwelcome at first, but he became accustomed to seeing more, since he wanted to open a wine house and teahouse, he would always meet all kinds of characters, and it was very important to cultivate a tolerant mind, and the emperor should have the amount of tolerance.

Pig wiped the table, invited Confucian to take a seat, and glanced at the fan in his hand before turning around, but he didn't expect that the folding fan had spread to Luoyang.

Someone guessed the riddle and wanted to change the riddle, Han Yan muttered a few times in the ears of the pig, and the pig took the wooden card back, erased the old words, and engraved the new question.

As he was writing, he saw two people outside the door scolding and scolding, pushing each other, gritting their teeth, if they hadn't forcibly suppressed their temper, this would have started, obviously provoking each other.

Don't say much when you enter the door, go straight to the ring.

When he saw it, he quickly opened his voice and shouted: "Be a man and leave a line, we will see each other in the future, no dead hands are allowed here, and I hope that the two heroes will show mercy...... Please take your seat. ”

When the rangers saw that they were going to fight, they immediately shouted and cheered, very excited.

Han Erdan also got up in the ring, and his tower-like body brought people a strong oppressive force, which made the hearts of the two who were about to fight feel cold, and the anger in their hearts was also reduced.

In fact, there is nothing to see when ordinary people fight, and the main thing to see is who has good physical strength, high endurance, and enough weight. It's just that Han Yan found that today's spectators were a little unusual, and the Confucian scholar was so excited that he actually started to sit in the village, losing one by one, and encouraging the rangers to suppress the wins and losses of the two in the ring......

Someone did this a few days ago, but Han Yan didn't allow it, so the person didn't say much, causing the rangers to be very disappointed and seemed to have a lot less fun.

If you still don't allow someone to open a village, if you still don't allow it, you will offend a lot of guests, if these people go out to talk nonsense, the fame that has been accumulated with great difficulty will stink.

As for why he didn't let Kaizhuang go, with Han Yan's insight far beyond this era, it was clear that if it continued to develop, it would give rise to a dark industry - underground black boxing.

It's just that no one in this era thought of taking "fighting" as a profession, but now he is the first to break the fast, and gathering all the martial arts in a region together can also produce the effect of an underground boxing ring, if someone follows suit-look at the Confucian Sheng's enlightened appearance, even someone pressed Zhuang did not interrupt his thoughts, and he must have been inspired.

If there is demand, there is a market, and if you don't do it, someone else will do it.

After struggling a little in his heart, Han Yan couldn't resist the temptation of the "anti-bone career", and decided to try it and seek a little anti-bone background for himself.

It's always good to take precautions, a companion is like a tiger, and now he and Liu Che are so good that they wear a pair of pants, but who knows what will happen in the future, even if Liu Che succeeds to the throne to himself as always, but he still has the Empress Dowager Dou above him, and his mother Queen Wang, if they want to move themselves, Liu Che is helpless.

The fight in the ring soon came to an end, both sides had blue noses and swollen faces, and they couldn't even speak while lying on the stage, so they were tied. Without weapons in hand, it is not easy for the two of them to fight alone, just with their fists.

And unexpectedly, Confucianism pressed exactly a tie, and all the people who won on one side were all cheaper than him, and he earned five hundred dollars at once, empty gloves white wolf!

Han Yan keenly sensed that there was a problem here, it was too coincidental, the front and back feet entered the door, come to me to do a game?

Han Yan is not the only smart person, Ah Da is well-informed and has thought of it, but he is not thinking about the bureau, but about money...... Instantly red, why didn't I think of this stubble?

In the future, as long as someone fights, I will open a village, buy both sides in advance, and say that the victory is good, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the master should agree, right?

There are a lot of shrewd people in the martial arts hall, and the pig's eyes are hot, his heart is pounding, and his interests are moving. Don't look at the martial arts hall is not big, but there are people fighting every day, sometimes they can fight several times a day, and the rangers are mostly penniless, so it's easy to buy them out......

Outside the door, the breeze was cold, the smoke and rain shrouded the old alley, and the drizzle drifted slightly cool, covering the heat of September, but it could not hide the eyes of desire. The martial arts hall is not big, but there are also all kinds of living beings, people's hearts are mixed, and each has a small abacus.

Faced with the changed taste, Han Yan felt that he should do something.

Give Han Erdan a look, signal you to follow me, and then walk in front of Confucius, smiled and said: "Your Excellency guessed the riddle of the martial arts hall, you can stay for free, there are many rooms in the backyard, please go and choose one." ”

"There's no need to stay overnight, you can give me the 100 dollars you gave when you leave, I still have something to do, I'll come back another day." Confucianism is arrogant, with a pair of eyes as evil as peach blossoms, the kind that looks up and squints at people, with contempt, and does not fake colors to lowly businessmen, as if to express that you are not qualified to speak against me.

Han Yan was about to say something, when he saw the two exhausted rangers in the ring get up and ran over to echo: "Didn't you give bruises medicine here, why didn't we see it?" ”

"Wound medicine is there, in the backyard." After speaking, Han Yan looked at the pig, and there was a sharp edge in it, "Go and get the medicine for the two rangers, remember to have a better attitude." ”

Pig instantly comprehended, glanced at the eldest brother, smiled, and came over to invite someone with bad intentions and no doubt, "Two, the medicine is in the backyard, please?" ”

Confucian changed his face, how could he not know that he had been recognized by others, but his identity as a scholar would not let him let go of his superior figure, so he had to hide the panic in his eyes, turned around and left, "I don't want to give a hundred yuan." ”

"What's the matter?"

When the words fell, Confucian only felt a numbness in his shoulders, as if he was pressed by the Five Fingers Mountain, and the severe pain spread throughout his body, twisting his body and starting to wail.

"Pull it to the backyard."

After Han Yan instructed Han Erdan, he hugged his fists and apologized to the rangers in the martial arts hall: "Everyone, these three people came here to do the game together, I didn't notice in advance that everyone was deceived, I feel guilty, I will make up for the loss, and I will close down earlier today, please forgive me." ”

Han Yan took out five hundred coins from the cabinet and distributed them to the rangers one by one, before closing the door and going to the backyard.
