Chapter 38: The Temptation of the Underground Forces
Li Shi led everyone to a post station where a horse-drawn carriage was rented, and a group of 8 people and two four-wheeled open-top carriages began to tour the city of freedom.
on the carriage.
"Little brother Li Shi! What are the forces in this free city? Chen Sheng inquired.
"Childe! There are four major forces in this free city: the Blue Moon Royal Family, the Hao Yue Family, the Shen Family, and the Lore Family, who moved from the West. Li Shi said respectfully.
"But Childe, these four families generally act according to the rules, as long as their interests are not touched, they are safe. It should be noted that the underground gangs, the Black Robe Society, the Blood Axe Gang, and the Purple Moon Gate, these gangs are generally unscrupulous, and especially like to rob and kidnap foreign merchants. Li Shi continued.
"The City Lord's Mansion doesn't care?" Qin Xueyan asked.
"! It's just that there are people in other people's gangs. As long as the merchants from other places dare to report the crime in the city lord's mansion, they will immediately assassinate you and tear your ticket. When the time comes, just find one or two scapegoats, and these people will ask for a very reasonable price, and the merchants from other places will only consider themselves unlucky. Li Shi said.
"So arrogant!" Qin Xueyan sighed.
"Mrs. Chen, they are really so arrogant. And with your current outfits, it's easiest to be their target, so be careful!" Lee reminded.
Said gangster gangsters to.
At this moment, two groups of thugs fought in front of the carriage, and suddenly the wine bag on the thug's body broke, and the wine was deliberately spilled on Chen Sheng and the others. Because Chen Sheng and his party rented an open-top carriage, if they didn't dodge, they would definitely get drunk.
Chen Sheng immediately showed that the cultivation of the late stage of the yellow level was running, and the "Hundred Waves Palm" skillfully beat the wine back to the original way, and the two gangs were all mortal-level cultivators, and they fell to the ground in an instant.
"It's a steel plate!" The gangsters thought to themselves.
"Coachman! Keep going. Chen Sheng didn't want to entangle, and said lightly.
Hearing this, the two gangsters immediately respectfully gave way to the road. The charioteer trembled and continued to drive the carriage slowly.
After Chen Sheng left, the people around him who were watching the excitement gradually became excited.
"I guess it was the gang that was stepping on the spot just now." Passerby A said.
"Needless to say, I also know that there are a few plays going on every month. Touching porcelain, falling objects, or horses being frightened, etc. It is to find out the strength of the target, as well as the character, and the origin of the other party's report. Small businessmen who have no background and no strength should be careful! Passerby B said.
"How do you know so well?" Passerby C said.
"It's good that the master also participated in it personally, but the target he encountered at the beginning was a little strong, and then his leg was broken." After speaking, passerby B also knocked on the crutch beside him with a gesture.
"What happened in the end?" The others asked curiously.
"I was stopped by the patrol team of the City Lord's Mansion that we invited, and then I was caught in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion, although the other party's power is large, it is far away, and I can only lose money. But less than a tenth of the money lost was left in my hands. Passerby sighed.
In the teahouse not far away, several men in sackcloth are drinking large bowls of tea in an elegant environment.
"Big brother, this idea is in your hands, it's better to give up!" A man stepped on the tea table with one foot, and his big foot stomped on the tea table loudly. The owner of the teahouse outside the door dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
"Then give up! After all, it is also troublesome to make a yellow-level late stage angry if it is not operated well. And those five guards are not idle roles. The eldest of the group said.
On the carriage of Chen Sheng and his entourage, since Li Shi knew about Chen Sheng's cultivation, he became more respectful. Li Shi led the group around the city in a rough circle.
"I don't know what Gongzi Chen wants to do when he goes to the City of Freedom." Li Shi asked respectfully.
"Go to school!" Chen Sheng said lightly.
"You're early, boy, it's still more than a month before the start of the Freedom Academy." Li Shi said respectfully.
"A little business by the way." Chen Sheng said lightly.
"People like Chen Gongzi are not like doing small business. I don't know if Chen Gongzi wants to rent a shop or buy a shop entirely, if he can, I know a few dental shops with fair prices. Li Shi complimented.
"Just as you say! Lead the way! Chen Sheng said.
"Go to Lore's Tooth!" Li Shi said.
With this world's technology, the four-wheeled open-top carriage has no shock absorption at all, and the stone roads in the city are not very smooth. The novelty of riding in the carriage passed, and everyone felt a numbness in their limbs.
Chen Sheng carefully observed this busy and vibrant city and sighed.
"Lorya has arrived, and the carriage can't go in, and a few people can only walk." The coachman said respectfully.
Chen Sheng originally thought that the so-called Luoer Ya Store was just a larger shop, but when he got out of the car, he saw that it actually occupied a street, and people were very busy. As soon as the group entered the gate of the street, they saw an old man with a western appearance coming over.
"I've seen a few distinguished guests in the lower tooth shopkeeper Rolford!" Rolfo said politely.
"It's actually the shopkeeper!"
Chen Sheng was very surprised in his heart, and then said with questions:
"Shopkeeper! I see that you have a lot of customers in this dental shop, so what qualifications do we have to greet you? ”
"I'm also curious about what kind of person the owner of the steel giant ship in the harbor is!" The old shopkeeper was blunt.
"Are you disappointed now?" Chen Sheng smiled.
"Nope! More curious! The old shopkeeper smiled.
"I wonder if Gongzi Chen wants to buy real estate, shops, or servants?" The old shopkeeper asked.
"Rent only shops!" Chen Sheng replied succinctly.
"Chen Gongzi can also rent a mansion by the way, after all, the shop is inconvenient for people?" The old shopkeeper suggested loyally.
"No!"
Chen Sheng replied very firmly, wondering if the houses in this city could be more comfortable and safe than those on the Xingchen. Now on the Star, spiritual water heaters, spiritual air conditioners, spiritual lamps, spiritual power stoves, and so on are all available.
"Chen Gongzi, please." After that, the shopkeeper took Chen Sheng to a hall.
I saw a miniature version of the sand table of the Liberty City in the hall, and there were also several merchants in the hall who were choosing a shop.
Seeing that it was the old shopkeeper who led Chen Sheng and his party into the hall, the others couldn't help but distance themselves from Chen Sheng.
"This is the property that we control, red means it has been rented out, green means it can be rented or sold, and blue means it can only be rented." The old shopkeeper said proudly.
Chen Sheng looked down and saw that there were a lot of red, green and blue flags planted in the sand table, which showed the strength of this Luoer tooth line.
Chen Sheng and Qin Xueyan carefully probed the sand table and asked:
"Where is the Liberty Academy Academy?"
The old shopkeeper immediately pointed out and said:
"Due to the special geographical location of Liberty College, it can only be leased, not bought and sold."
"How much does this shop with a courtyard cost a year?" Chen Sheng asked tentatively.
"Ten lower-grade spirit stones, if you pay with silver taels, you will have to add a conversion fee of 20% on the basis of the market price, that is, 1.2 million taels." The old shopkeeper said.
This arrogant price frightened Chen Sheng, you must know that in this world, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is equivalent to 100 Chinese dollars in the previous life, and 1.2 million taels of silver is equivalent to 1,200 million Chinese dollars. 12 million is a year's rent, which is very amazing.
The old shopkeeper also noticed Chen Sheng's expression and asked:
"I don't know what business Childe is going to do? If it is just an ordinary business, the 220-square-meter shop on this main road only costs 100,000 taels. ”
"Weapons!" Chen Sheng said lightly.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper raised his eyebrows.
A strange and pleasant female voice sounded in the hall,
"I don't know what kind of weapon?"
I saw a blonde girl with a hot body walk in.
The purple luxurious long skirt, the slender jade neck and the delicate and three-dimensional face, coupled with the noble and elegant temperament, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"I've seen Miss!" The old shopkeeper immediately greeted him.
"No need to be polite! This is the owner of the steel ship that arrived in port this morning! In the Lower Lorr family, Loerri has met Childe. Lorri gracefully made a noble salute.
Chen Sheng also endured the sharp pain in his waist and saluted Luo Erli in return and said:
"Chen Sheng, the captain of the Star, has seen Miss Lorry."
