"This is very understandable, take the money to eliminate the disaster, as long as you pay the protection fee, you can ensure the safety of your shop, and there will never be another incident where the shop is burned and the guy is beaten. Hook Nose explained.

"Oh, it seems that I'm lonely, don't you have to pay this protection fee to the Fang City official, don't you pay taxes and management fees every month" Jiang Feng asked again.

"You kid has a lot of things, white is white, that's on the bright side, this protection fee won't see the light, you can not give it, but don't think about having a peaceful birthday!"

Jiang Feng nodded, "I probably understand what the two of you say, may I ask how much the monthly protection fee for a store like ours is?"

"One hundred gold baht!" the hooked nose spat out a few words from his teeth.

Jiang Feng shuddered, "Oh, this is too much, we can't make much money in a month, we have paid protection money, what else do we eat." ”

"It's your business whether you make money or not, we don't care about this idle matter, we just charge protection money to ensure the safety of the store!" Scarface said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I admit it, please take me to meet your shopkeeper, and I will also recognize the door by the way!" Jiang Feng sighed and said.

They didn't expect Jiang Feng to admit it so easily, but they were a little cramped.

Eagle hook nose looked like the eldest of the two, thought about it, and said with a light smile: "Okay, where would there be so much trouble if you did this earlier, as long as you follow the rules of our Fang City, you can ensure that you still have money to make, please!"

With that, Hooknose and Scarface had already stood up. Jiang Feng also got up with a smile, turned back to Song Xiaocui and said, "Sister Xiaocui, you and Xiaocao take a good look at the store, I'll come when I go." ”

Song Xiaocui said worriedly: "Xiao Jiang, let Cao Rang accompany you!"

Cao Rang stiffened, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Shopkeeper Jiang, I'll go too!"

"What can you do when you go, maybe someone will invite me to drink this time, don't worry about me, just watch the store!" Jiang Feng said, already walking out of the Medicine Fragrance Pavilion with a hooked nose and a scarred face.

"Sister Xiaocui, what should we do, Shopkeeper Jiang went alone, in case ......" Cao Rang is not very good at speaking, so he said to the bad side with one mouth.

"In case of a big-headed ghost, Xiao Jiang Ji people have their own natural appearance, let's listen to Xiao Jiang's words, don't make trouble for him!"

Song Xiaocui didn't speak right, she was more worried about Jiang Feng's safety than Cao Rang, but she could only pray secretly to bless Jiang Feng with a smooth and safe return.

Jiang Feng is not as simple as Song Xiaocui thought, how could an alchemist who has reached the level of a prefecture-level Dan Master be an ordinary person. Jiang Feng followed the hooked nose and scarred face out of the Medicine Fragrance Pavilion, and also took the opportunity to sweep the shops that had already started construction over there.

To be precise, the shop over there is his temporary home, and the foreman is urging Song Laokan to build the project much faster than usual, plus the masons work in shifts day and night, only one day, the foundation is laid, and the wall on the first floor is more than one person high.

With this progress, it was completed within a week without any problems. It takes half a month to complete all kinds of decorations, and there is no problem in moving the Yaoxiang Pavilion in a month.

These two people were far from Jiang Feng's eyesight, and they didn't pay attention to the construction of new shops over there. Just leave this street with Jiang Feng, and when you turn another street, an extremely atmospheric façade appears in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the street.

The palace-like building, a row of five large houses, with three floors at the bottom, looks from afar, resplendent and brilliant.

This shop should belong to the highest grade specifications in the surrounding area, only to see a huge plaque with gold characters on a red background hanging in front of the main entrance, on which are written three majestic ancient characters: "Guixiang Building".

Jiang Feng quietly stuck to the hooked nose and said softly: "It turns out that your shop is Guixiang Building." ”

Eagle Hook Snorted coldly, unwilling to gossip with him.

It doesn't matter, people have shortcomings, Jiang Feng flipped his hand, pinched a few gold baht in his hand, and vaguely stuffed it into the hand of the hooked nose. This kid looked down, and his expression immediately changed, and he was no longer so hostile to Jiang Feng.

"Did I accidentally offend the shopkeeper of your Guixiang Building," Jiang Feng asked in a low voice.

Regarding the matter of collecting protection money, Jiang Feng will not believe it.

It is said that this Yandang Shanfang City is jointly set up by several major families in Yangping City, and the major families each hold a share, and the income is divided equally according to the shares, of course, excluding the real estate of the major families.

You must know that Yandang Shanfang City is comparable to the size of a city, and even taxes and management fees can bring huge profits. Under their noses, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate private extortion and extortion by some people to force protection money.

As long as the Fang City is operating normally, the profits are enough to meet the major families, and besides, each big family has its own part of the real estate in the Fang City, and the income from the rent and shop is also very considerable.

Led by the big family, they will never let people disturb the normal order of the market.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people secretly use their power to suppress competitors in private, and the official personnel of Fang City also get some benefits, secretly take bribes, turn a blind eye, and pretend not to know.

However, protection fees can only be localized, and the general environment is not allowed in any case.

Hooked nose and scarface took Jiang Feng's money, and their attitude changed a lot. Seeing that there was no one around, Eagle Hook Nose whispered: "It seems that you still understand people, don't blame our brother for being difficult for you, you have offended our shopkeeper." ”

"Oh, then I'll ......" Jiang Feng flipped his hand and took out a few gold baht again and secretly handed them over.

Scarface smiled, "I can't see that my brother is still a bright person, then our brother has nothing to hide from you, if you will come to trouble, you will reconcile with our shopkeeper, and the protection fee will be written off, and we will never trouble you again!"

"Well, I promise to reconcile with your shopkeeper. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

At the beginning, Jiang Feng always suspected that Tianxianglou was secretly making trouble, and Huang Bin, the steward of Tianxianglou, once persuaded Jiang Feng to invite him to Tianxianglou, but Jiang Feng politely declined at that time.

I thought it was the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou who couldn't recruit him, and he held a grudge, but he didn't expect that it was not Tianxianglou, but this Guixianglou!

Hook Nose and Scarface accepted Jiang Feng's bribe, and they were very polite, and took Jiang Feng all the way into Guixiang Building.

Scarface was the first to go upstairs to report, and then, beckoned Hook Nose and Jiang Feng to go upstairs.

On the third floor, in an extremely spacious reception room, sat a big fat man with a bloated figure and enough weight of 300 pounds, this person was about forty years old, with a pointed head, a wide jaw, eyes narrowed into a slit, a rosacea nose, a big mouth, and his neck looked almost gone because of too much fat on his face.

The man sat firmly on the large bed and chair, his face sinking like water.
