On a March day, it's not cold, but if you are poured with a bucket of cold water, it's definitely cold.

The five of them woke up trembling, and called a few times, looking at Lin Dong a little stunned. For a moment, Qi Qi shuddered, finally trying to figure out why he was here.

"Fuck, you even dare to hit my Wang Liumole? It's ...... against you."

Wang Liumo rubbed his forehead and stood up angrily, although his face was murderous, his legs seemed to be hanging hundreds of catties of iron balls, and he couldn't move.

Lin Dong smiled disdainfully, and the contemptuous smile was like adding fuel to the fire, which made the anger in the hearts of Wang Liumo and the five people burn. Unfortunately, no one dared to take a step forward.

One dozen five, and playing so easily, this kind of person, that is a character who can walk sideways on the street.

The expressions of the five people looked in Lin Dong's eyes, and their smiles became more and more contemptuous.

"This inn was bought by me five years and nine months ago, and the monthly protection fee is one tael of silver, and since last month, you have suddenly changed to collect a protection fee every three days, or one tael of silver once, adding up to a total of eighty-two taels of silver. As for the interest, if it were really calculated according to usury, you would certainly not be able to pay it back, so that even if the interest was doubled, the fraction would be erased for you, and it would be one hundred and sixty taels of silver. ”

"In the past, the protection fee was collected by Liu Daring."

Triangle Eye couldn't help but retort, and immediately provoked Wang Liumo's glare, saying this, isn't it equivalent to indirectly softening and being willing to pay for the protection money collected before?

"Liu Daring was driven away by you, and this street was taken over by a few of you, and his debt naturally has to be counted on your head."

Lin Dong stood up, looking at Wang Liumo's expression, he knew that this kid didn't want to admit it.

Pacing forward, he grabbed Wang Liu's mole, and no matter how he struggled, his palms dragged him to the bench like iron tongs.

"You still haven't paid back this silver?" Lin Dong's voice was surprisingly polite.

"Kill me!" Wang Liu's neck was stalked, and the honest Lin Dong suddenly changed his surname to make him wonder, but if he changed his surname again, he would never dare to kill.

Lin Dong smiled, broke one of his fingers, suddenly lifted the stool leg, and smashed it down.

Bang!

The heart-rending howl suddenly sounded, and Wang Liumo's fingers were deflated into a thin layer, and the bones must have broken without inspection.

Letting Wang Liumole roll on the ground and cry, Lin Dong's gaze swept over the faces of the other four, and a polite smile floated to the corners of his mouth, but the four of them were so shocked that they couldn't wait to faint like this.

After howling for half a pillar of incense, Wang Liumole finally relieved himself, covered his fingers, sat on the ground and trembled, and didn't know if it was cold or scared.

In the eyes of the five people, Lin Dong at this moment is like a nightmare. The smile on the corner of his mouth is so evil that it makes people's hearts furious.

"What's the matter, the money hasn't been paid back yet?" Lin Dong said with a smile.

"You, you ......" Wang Liumo swallowed his saliva, although he was unconvinced, he didn't dare to pretend to be a tough guy anymore.

Lin Dong's smile turned evil: "Don't you think it's strange, why did my surname change so much today?" ”

The five of them were silent, but their trembling bodies were a little straightened, they really felt strange, who was Lin Dong? The famous coward of Shibei Street.

Timid and afraid, people can be bullied.

When collecting protection, the old lady who sells clay dares to argue a few words or scratch her hair, only this Lin Dong is submissive, and the protection fee will be collected as soon as he enters the door.

At noon and evening, I sat in the lobby, finished eating good wine and food, wiped my mouth, and never heard half a sentence when I left.

Otherwise, Wang Liumo would not dare to ask Lin Dong to collect protection money every three days when he was short of money. The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the mud bodhisattva also has fire, he knows this truth.

The big shops paid one tael of silver a month, the small shops paid five cents a month, the residents paid two cents a month, and the small vendors collected one penny a day a day. The trickle of water is long-lasting, if you really want to force people too much, if you can't live hard, no one will be able to please anyone, and don't want to mix up if you are angry.

It's strange, how did the honest and deceitful Lin Dong change his surname? And he was so ruthless, according to Wang Liumo's original idea, this honest guy should kneel down and beg for mercy after being forced to live too much.

Lin Dong pointed to the strangulation marks on his neck, and said, "See, there is no death left by hanging." ”

The five people were stunned, and Wang Liumole even regretted breaking his intestines, and he didn't calculate that Lin Dong would be forced to hang himself. Now it's okay, I didn't die by hanging, people have figured it out, I'm not afraid of death, and I'm afraid of a few gangsters?

Lin Dong couldn't see the thoughts of the five people, clapped his hands, and said in a cold voice: "Give you half a pillar of incense time to consider, either pay back the money, or ...... Mass grave mortuary. ”

These words were like a whistling cold wind, which made the five of them fall into an ice cave, and their bodies were cold and purple.

"We don't have any money." Wang Liuxi said with a sad face: "If it weren't for the large amount of money owed to the casino, we wouldn't have forced you like this." ”

Lin Dong had expected that when he saw Wang Liu's mole and a few of them, he thought about going in and out for these five people. Erlang knocked on the bench with a leg fight.

"Then pay off your debts with work! All five of you will come to my inn to be buddies, including food and lodging, one or two silver a month, and you can put forward any opinions. ”

The five of them looked at each other, and the gangsters were buddies? And it's on its own territory, how will you see people in the future?

Wang Liumole peeked at Lin Dong and ushered in a fierce gaze.

Swallowed saliva, the refusal to the mouth was swallowed back. Wang Liumo nodded heavily: "Okay!" ”

Lin Dong's eyes were cold, and he said murderously: "Remember everything, if you are not convinced, I can try to cause trouble or calculate, and I will bear the consequences!" ”

Wang Liumo's eyes froze, and the small abacus in his heart was shocked out of the clouds in an instant, how dare he have different intentions, just thinking about regaining his freedom despite returning the silver. Revenge will be talked about when the storm calms down.

The injuries of the five people were all skin injuries, even if it was Wang Liu's mole, bandaged and bandaged, the other hand could move. Lin Dong waved his hand: "The second room in the backyard is my house, there are bandages in it, and the fourth room is the utility room, and there are guys' short clothes in the box, giving you time to stick incense." ”

The five of them supported each other and went straight to the backyard.

When the five of them came back, they were already dressed in short clothes, and the scars on their foreheads were also covered by small hats. Lin Dongyi asked, the five of them eat and drink from the east and drink the west all day long, how can they stir-fry.

Fortunately, Lin Dong's predecessor began to read at the age of fourteen, and later, in order to please the fourth miss of the Yang family, every meal was cooked by himself, not to mention the top cooking skills, it was still better than the chefs he invited before.

The shopkeeper and chef are barely busy.

Open the inn system, and the guy column has changed from 0 to 5.

Lin Dong immediately checked the guy's surname.

Mole of the King: Level 1 0%, Eloquence 52, Agility 75, Reflexes 85, Strength 48, Endurance 56.

Skinny Bamboo Pole: Level 1 0%, Eloquence 41, Agility 62, Reflexes 61, Strength 46, Endurance 41.

……

The castes of the five people are not very good, especially in terms of eloquence, none of them have passed. There is no way, when there is a shortage of silver, you can only use it.

took out two taels of silver and handed the vase from the room of the fourth lady of the Yang family to Wang Liuxi, Lin Dong ordered: "You act separately, sell the vase to the pawnshop, buy ten sets of tables and stools, and then come with the ingredients." Remember, pick the good ones and buy them. ”

Although the five of them were a little surprised that Lin Dong could take out two taels of silver and hand it over to him unsuspectingly, they didn't dare to say more, and nodded busily.

In less than an hour, the ingredients were the first to arrive, and the people in charge of this were the thin and tall thin bamboo poles and Liu Hao. The two of them are also a little clever, and they don't know where to get a small cart, a cart full of them. Although Lin Dong didn't explain what ingredients to buy, the vegetables, fish and meat in the car were also complete, and there were even more than a dozen apples and green pears.

Lin ...... The shopkeeper, the boss gave two taels of silver, which is a lot, a total of four hundred and twenty dollars. With a shy smile, the thin bamboo pole handed a money bag to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong nodded, his eyes swept over the small cart, although the vegetables were a little wilted, he could see that they were all carefully selected.

"Push from the back to the kitchen in the backyard, wash what should be washed, cut what should be cut."

As if they had been pardoned, they hurriedly took a small cart and went around the inn and went straight to the backyard.

Not long after, Wang Liuxi also rushed back with triangular eyes and Liu Hao, followed by two carts with brand-new tables and stools stacked on them.

After unloading the goods, setting up the tables and stools in the lobby, and then pulling the ones that were smashed last time to the kitchen as firewood, Wang Liuxi carefully took out a money bag and a pawn ticket, and secretly observed Lin Dong's face.

"I ran six pawnshops, and only one of them paid two taels of silver. After deducting the money for the table and stool, there are 673 cents left. ”

Lin Dongle is happy, in the memory of his predecessor, pawnshops are all eaters who don't spit out bones, and if he buys ten taels of silver, he can be two taels, which requires a lot of skills.

After calculating the accounts, it took three taels of silver to reopen, which was about the same as expected.

The head was west, Lin Dong sat at the counter, Wang Liumole and the five people were rubbing the tables and stools in a decent manner, and the small inn began to look like a thing.

In just half an hour, the three carriages stopped outside the door, Wang Liumo's face was happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to meet the common guys: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in a hotel or eat?" ”

A middle-aged fat man in brocade got out of the carriage and muttered with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lin, the big white fat man has come to you again to ask for water to drink." ”

There was no need to even recall, the owner of the voice instantly appeared in Lin Dong's mind. was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward from the counter.

Outside the door, the middle-aged fat man took the lead in stepping into the lobby, and behind him, a woman of about sixteen or seventeen years old followed in, with a long white dress, an elegant face, and a graceful posture.

In the rear, six burly men followed, all with swords or short knives pinned to their waists, obviously all of them were practitioners.

"Dad, I want to change inns!" The woman in white frowned slightly after glancing at the lobby.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Dong's face was not shocked, and the middle-aged fat man was a little embarrassed. smiled apologetically at Lin Dong, and said helplessly: "Little girl Bai Qi, she is usually spoiled, don't blame Shopkeeper Lin." ”

Lin Dong shook his head, there are so many girls with such eyes above the top, and he can't be angry. What's more, this girl is still Bai Jingtai's daughter, and she doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, Bai Jingtai and her ex are friends.

What's more, this Bai Jingtai is also a spirit stone merchant, and the colleges, families, and antique shops in Zealand City all come from this person for the spirit stones consumed every year.

As the level of the inn increased, the spirit stones consumed per day also increased exponentially, and the help of this friend was indispensable.
