The man looked him up and down: "Damn, are we entertained? Where did you come from, and Saye doesn't know what kind of place this is! Dare to call yourself a young master in front of a few masters, I think you are impatient!" As he spoke, the man reached out and reached into Yin Li's corset, trying to grab Yin Li and twist it.

Yin Li saw this person's intentions, and without hesitation, he also made a quick move.

He clasped the man's vein with his left hand, and reached out with his right hand to choke the man's neck.

The preemptive strike, the swiftness of the shot shocked everyone present.

He took this person hostage and shouted to the gang in the Night Hall: "The master has no time to entangle with you, and he has no intention of causing trouble, a few of us are here to ask for an explanation, go and call out the Tang Scar Master to Lao Tzu, the master has an account to settle with him." ”

That group of people, you look at me, I look at you, shouting to Yin Li not to mess around.

Then someone ran to the backyard and brought dozens of men back and forth.

Tang Scar arrived slowly, and when he saw that it was Yin Li, he couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be you, a rare guest." ”

Hearing him laugh, Yin Li only felt extremely harsh, and the fire in his heart soared into the sky, but he knew the truth that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so he couldn't bear it, and only said: "It's good that you're here." He let go of his right hand and released the hostage.

Tang Scar waved his hand and sent all his subordinates out.

Then let people serve tea, and ask Yin Li to sit down.

Yin Li stopped his hand and smiled: "Master Scar, you don't need to come to the void, return the things to me, and I'll leave." ”

Tang Scar touched the scar on his face, and was puzzled: "Hey, I don't understand, what else do you have?"

Yin Li smiled and arched his hand: "Master Scar, we are juniors, you care about us, aren't you afraid of losing your identity?" What's more, as the saying goes, it's better to bully the white-haired man than the young man, you will always be unsatisfactory, there will always be a day when you will be old, and it is not wise for you to bully us today. ”

The words are laughing, good-sounding, and both reasonable and threatening.

"Hahaha...... , I'd rather bully the white-haired man, not the young man, say it well, the little brother is really born with a good tooth, my Tang Scar has never been a student, it seems that when I get old, no one will find me unlucky. Well, let's get down to business, if my guess is right, you're in trouble setting up your stall, aren't you? Look, what did Scar Ye say last time, asking you to sell it to me, but you said that I lied to you, this time let Fushengtang be a nest, and your deal is worth it. Tang Scar spoke in a rough voice, but his voice was sonorous, although vulgar, but heroic.

Yin Li, Song Dazhong, Ban Boni, and Ban Shuni looked at each other.

Yin Li asked, "What do you mean, didn't you rob my goods?"

Tang Scar rudely sat down on the main seat, and his fingers Yin Li laughed louder and louder: "You calf, you really don't know anything, you don't understand the matter, you dare to run to Scar Ye to spread wild, I really convince you." A few of you have just arrived in Taichang for a few days, and Taichang City has not yet been familiarized. ”

Seeing that Yin Li's faces were confused, he patted the chair arrogantly and continued.

"Okay, if you don't know each other, then Scar will be a good person and talk to you. Taichang City is divided into the outer city and the inner city, the inner city is luxurious, except for the imperial palace and the national eunuch, most of the people who live are princes and nobles, there are city guards patrolling, and the order is relatively stable; this outer city is mixed, the forces are intricate, and everyone has it. Not to mention the dark place, but to talk about the bright place, there are three forces in this outer city, in addition to our Night Hades Hall, there are also two families: the Imperial Tower and the Fusheng Hall. So little brother, you Xingshi came to the wrong place to ask the guilt, you should go to the Fusheng Hall. ”

After hearing this, the true outline of the imperial capital appeared in Yin Li's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.

This time, without waiting for Yin Li to answer, Song Dazhong hugged his fists and asked, "How can you see that it is Fushengtang?"

Tang Scar is rude on the surface, fierce and vicious, but he is actually hearty.

That day, he met Yin Li in the Lidang Mountains, although there was a misunderstanding, but he did not hold a grudge.

In fact, he greatly admired Yin Li's methods and had a good impression.

Nowadays, I can't help but laugh when I see a few of their calves stuffy and don't understand anything. Out of a good impression of Yin Li, Tang Scar was happy to help them solve their questions, so he explained the three forces in detail in a rough voice.

These three families wandered around the outer city, and there were no less than 1,000 of them, and they were engaged in dart hunting and opening stalls. They compete for hegemony, squander their money and dominate several streets, or run their own restaurants and brothels, or rent them out to earn rent, which means that within the sphere of influence of the three families, regardless of whether they open shops or set up stalls, they all need to pay rent.

Among the three, the number of imperial buildings has the largest business, covering a large area in the west of the city and the north of the city.

And the Night Hades Hall is entrenched in the south of the city, I don't know what the background is, and its power is second only to the Imperial Tower.

As for the Fushengtang, it occupies the eastern part of the city and is the only official force among the three.

Shang Yuan, the owner of this floating hall, was born in a family of eunuchs, and his father Shang Binghe was a general who protected the country, and he once commanded an expedition to resist the invasion of the demon clan, although he was deceased, but his reputation remained. Shang Yuan's uncle served as the tax secretary of the Yamen, acting as the Son of Heaven to oversee the taxation of Taichang City. Therefore, the official background of the Fusheng Hall is laid out on the surface, unlike the Imperial Tower and the Night Hades Hall, which are hidden and pretended to be mysterious.

After listening to Tang Scar's series of narrations, Yin Li and the four of them were silent for a long time.

Song Dazhong was still unsure, and said: "Since it is to collect rent, why do you start beating people? Also, they asked for a thousand gold coins when they opened their mouths, and my people fought with them, and they robbed our goods without doing anything, and I think they look like robbers." ”

Tang Scar waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's wrong, it's wrong, it's not just a thousand, it's four thousand." A few little brothers, you are selling wolf skins, not cabbage and radish, the more precious the goods are traded, the less cheap the rent, this is the rule. What's more, this thousand is just a rent, and the tax department yamen also has a corresponding tax on precious goods, according to the goods you hunt, you still need to pay at least 3,000 gold coins to the Son of Heaven, and the real income is only about 2,000. ”

The more Song Dazhong listened, the more angry he became: "Such a high tax......! ”

Just about to start scolding, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could he scold the respect of the Son of Heaven.

Yin Li saw that he stopped, and picked up the words: "Don't swallow and spit out, just say what you have to say, what are you afraid of, the Son of Heaven does not exercise benevolence, and he expropriates tyranny, we can't say it in private! Hmph, three thousand gold coins, I think the Son of Heaven is poor and crazy." ”

Tang Scar fed, stopped reminding, and looked out the door to see if there was anyone.

Then he arched his hand to the sky and said, "When you are only fourteen years old today, you are wise and intelligent, you can't talk nonsense. In fact, the government of the Son of Heaven is the benevolent government of the ancients, and the tax of the imperial court is also based on ancient rules. As for the imposition of heavy taxes on precious goods, it is not against benevolent government, as the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the little brother has the ability to hunt the white-eyed wolf, pay more taxes to fill the treasury. ”

Yin Li was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, that's not bad." ”

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "In this way, the rent and taxes have to be paid." ”

Tang Scar habitually laughed: "Of course, these are the rules of Taichang City. ”

Yin Li arched his hand and said: "Thank you Master Scar for your advice, the juniors will leave first." ”
