Tingtao Building, which is booming on weekdays, has been closed for several days, and a number of new and old customers feel very strange, so there are good people to inquire around, and slowly some news spreads.

"Tingtao Lou was transferred, and my brother who was in the county government saw it with his own eyes at the scene that day."

"No wonder, I saw the shopkeeper Yang at the dock that day, and dragged his family to take a boat, it turned out that this is the reason."

……

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the East Gate. Let's say that in the two-story building at the east gate, Qiu Rong was furious when he heard the news, and someone dared to snatch food from his territory. However, he was not a reckless man, and after some thought, he sent his men to find out the news.

Two days later, a notice was posted outside Tingtao Building, saying that it was scheduled to reopen on the 20th of this month. At this time, Qiu Rong also found out the situation, the person who bought the teahouse was a merchant from Yizhou, and he had never heard of any backers in Jeju, so it seemed that he should be a deceived ghost. He sneered in his heart, and the master waited until the 25th to let you know the stakes.

Let's say that in the afternoon of this day, Gu Haotian and Yan Junqing went together to visit Jeju Governor Zhang Shuye, who was the main examiner of the undergraduate Qiuyu and could be regarded as the mentor of the two. When he heard that two protégés were visiting, he was very happy and immediately let them into the back hall.

"How can the two of you be free today, come to visit the old man." Uncle Zhang asked the two of them to sit down and asked with a smile.

"A friend of the student, recently ordered the Tingtao Building outside Dongcheng, which is scheduled to open on the 20th of this month, and the environment is also elegant, and it just so happens that Haotian is also in Jeju, and I want to invite the teacher to appreciate the face and sit down."

put Tingtao Lou in Yan Junqing's name, but it was negotiated with Gu Haotian, and on the face of it, he said that he was using the reputation of the Yan family to do business, but secretly Gu Haotian naturally had other thoughts.

"Listen to Taolou, the old man has also been there, it is indeed a good place, your friend has good vision and good means, and he can compete for such a shop."

Uncle Zhang looked at Yan Junqing with a smile at night, in fact, he knew in his heart that these areas could not be operated by powerful people, they must be the properties placed by the Yan family, and inviting him to go over was nothing more than to support his long face. But it didn't hurt, and he was happy to do it.

"The student's friend was also lucky." Yan Junqing replied vaguely.

"Since Haotian is also here, it is also a rare gathering, and the old man will pass by then." Uncle Zhang responded happily at night.

"That being the case, the students are waiting for their mentors." The two thanked each other, chatted for a while, and then took their leave.

Soon it was October 20th, and Tingtao Tower reopened its doors to welcome guests. However, the old guests in the east of the city all know that the Poison Dragon Gang is eyeing Tingtao Tower, and they will not stop tonight, so they have entered Tingtao Tower with the intention of watching the excitement, and the business in the building is much better than in the past.

At the end of the unitary hour, it was nightfall, and it was also the best time to listen to the business of Taolou, and a noise sounded in the lobby on the second floor as scheduled. More than a dozen guests suddenly left their seats, threw tea sets and food all over the floor, and then took out the sticks they carried with them, shouting and rushing to the counter.

"The show is on, and let's see how this shopkeeper copes." The customers were immediately refreshed.

At this time, in front of the counter, I don't know when there was a row of guys, the more than ten splashes seemed to be fierce, and they couldn't rush over, and many of them were plotted for unknown reasons, and the lobby was noisy for a while.

Let's say that in the elegant seat on the third floor, Gu Haotian and Yan Junqing accompanied Zhang Shuye, Shi Wenbin and several other people, talking about the past and the present, and chanting poems are very interested. Suddenly hearing the noise downstairs, Uncle Zhang called an entourage to go down to find out the reason. After a while, the man came back to report that the Poison Dragon Gang was causing trouble.

"Poison Dragons!"

Uncle Zhang groaned at night, turned his head and glanced at Yan Junqing, thinking that he was used by this kid today, but this poisonous dragon gang is really hateful, and it should be rectified, so he said:

"I'll wait and see how ugly this Poison Dragon Gang is."

Let's say that there are more than ten noisy culprits in the lobby, and they don't care about the few weak scholars who come downstairs at all.

"The prefect is here, and he still hasn't stopped." A pro-attendant stepped forward and shouted.

"Prefect, if you are the prefect, what if I am still the emperor?"

Pity those splashes who recognize the appearance of the house, and in the anxious season when they can't attack in a hurry, I don't know that the one sprayed, and the others didn't even look back.

"You are so bold that you dare to speak wildly, aren't you afraid of the imperial law?" When the attendant saw that no one was paying attention to him, he shouted again.

"Where did this wild dog come out, and dare to bark in front of the master."

A thug could not bear to scratch the noise, so he picked up a short stick and struck it on the head. But when he saw that the relative cried out in pain, he was bleeding all over his face.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's just lawless."

Uncle Zhang saw that the Poisonous Dragon Gang not only did not take him as the prefect in his eyes, but also injured his entourage, and he was immediately angry, but he never had anyone with him, so he ordered:

"The people in the hall, whoever takes down this group of wicked people will be rewarded by this house."

And Gu Haotian was waiting for this sentence, and he glanced at Zhu Fu who was guarding the counter. saw Zhu Fu shouting:

"The prefect has an order, and there is a reward for taking down the wicked."

But seeing a group of men in front of him, he immediately turned defense into offense, and the offensive was extremely strong, and after a while, the more than ten splashes were knocked to the ground, all wounded.

"It's all tied up, and it's sent to the government to receive the reward."

Zhu Fu gave another order, and after a while, the gang of splashes became zongzi one by one.

The instantaneous reversal of the plot in the lobby stunned the audience. This new owner originally had the support of the prefect, no wonder he was not afraid of the poisonous dragon gang. Some people recognized Uncle Zhang, and suddenly realized.

But these guys are too tough, it is effortless to take down the hands of the Poison Dragon Gang, and they are all acting. There are also some people who are frightened by the terrifying strength of the shop guys, thinking that this guy is clearly a thug.

Let's say that Uncle Zhang was disturbed by the poisonous dragon gang at night, and he was in no mood at all, so he immediately called the officials in the yamen and took a cadre back to the yamen. Yan Junqing and Gu Haotian took advantage of this game done by Uncle Zhang and achieved great success, Tingtao Lou should have no hidden dangers in the short term, and the prefect naturally had to apologize.

In the lair of the Poison Dragon Gang, Qiu Rong and the others were drinking and having fun, waiting for good news. About an hour later, I heard a gang of people rushing in from outside, shouting "helper" and "helper" along the way.

"These splashes must have picked up a big bargain, you see that you can't even breathe when you run." Qiu Rong said proudly to the left and right.

"Dare to touch your old tiger whiskers at Qiu Ye's dock, that is to kill yourself." Everyone present clapped their ass.

"Helper, helper, something is wrong!" A gang burst through the door, panting.

"What? Oh no! Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

"The brothers were all arrested by the prefect's yamen." The gang continued.

"What is the prefect's yamen, you can make it clear to the master."

As soon as Qiu Rong heard the steady good thing, he was unexpectedly stirred up, and he was furious, stepped forward and grabbed the man's chest, and asked viciously.

The gang stammered and explained the matter, and everyone in the house roughly understood what the new shopkeeper seemed to have to do with Governor Zhang's mansion, and there were people from the Yan family at the scene. And the guys in the store didn't look like ordinary people, and one of his brothers was instantly put to the ground, which is not something ordinary guys can do.

It actually involved the people of the Zhang Governor's Mansion and the Yan family, this matter was a little different, Qiu Rong had a gloomy face, walking back and forth in the room heavily, and the red spot on his cheek was also unusually bright.

"Second brother, you took someone to smash the building for me in the middle of the night, and your hands and feet were cleaner, and the master didn't believe that the bird prefect guarded the door for him all night."

Qiu Rong really couldn't swallow this breath, if he couldn't fight for this face, he wouldn't be able to mix it up at the East Gate in the future, so he couldn't do it, so he resorted to a trick.

That night, a stout man in his forties, with thirty or forty men in tight clothes, quietly touched Tingtao Tower with various instruments in his hands.

"Do it." The leader gave an order.

Someone slammed into the gate with a device, only to hear a "branch", and the door was easily slammed open.

"This bird shopkeeper thinks that he has some prefect to support him, but he doesn't defend it, and the brothers kill it, smash it for me, and you can take the money and belongings for yourself."

The leader saw that the door of the store was so easily slammed open, and gave the order excitedly, and the crowd rushed in as if they had seen the belongings everywhere.

After a while, all kinds of sounds came from the Taolou, including smashing and screaming, and it took half an hour to slowly calm down.

Early the next morning, the early risers were surprised to find that there were men in strong suits in front of Tingtao Tower, and all of them seemed to be seriously injured, moaning and screaming in pain. After a while, a group of servants came and tied them up and took them away. Then people learned that there was a gang of bandits who entered Tingtao Tower to rob last night, but they were subdued by the guards inside and poured blood mold.

However, there are also discerning people who can see clearly that those so-called bandits are all members of the Poison Dragon Gang, and they can't help but look at the new owner of Tingtao Tower.

And Qiu Rong was stunned for a long time after learning the news, he has been rampant in the East Gate area for more than ten years, and has never suffered such a big setback, even if Uncle Zhang has rectified several times in recent years, it is just some of his fur, but last night the Poison Dragon Gang lost more than half of it, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak.

In the afternoon, Qiu Rong, who had been thinking about it for a long time, sat in a sedan chair and quietly went to the city.

At the same time, Gu Haotian and Xiao Jiasui also got this information, and they understood that Qiu Rong was scared and went to him to back, if there was no accident, the "eye" of Tingtaolou did his work.
