On this day, the sun is shining, and the Xiangfu Teahouse, located in the most prosperous street of Chancheng, is full of guests and prosperous business as always.

In this era when communication is basically based on roaring, restaurants and tea shops are the most well-informed places to spread information, especially the official gossip of the surrounding territory, market rumors and rumors can be easily obtained.

The tea guests exchanged their own gossip in twos and threes, mainly discussing the situation of the rivers and lakes in Chancheng in the recent period.

These are closely related to their lives, and it is difficult not to pay attention to them.

Wherever you sit in the teahouse, you can hear different versions of the interpretation in your ears.

"Third uncle, I heard that your family has been making a lot of trouble recently, and the business has not been affected, right?"

"How can it not be affected, the guests who fight and kill all day are scared away!"

"Lao Liu, what's the situation at your house, I heard that Zhongyi Hall has often been provoked recently?"

"It's okay, Zhongyi Hall won the two neighboring halls in one go half a month ago, and its own losses were not small enough to lack manpower, which naturally attracted the peeps of the halls next to it!"

"Then you have to be careful, don't go out at night at will, be careful of accidents!"

"I naturally know this, but fortunately, there is a fierce man in Zhongyi Hall, and he has beaten back all the temptations from outside the hall, and finally stabilized the situation near my house, otherwise the situation will be bad!"

"I heard that no, Zhongyitang's new red stick Thunder Tiger is extremely powerful, and it is known as an invincible opponent in the rivers and lakes of Chancheng, tsk, this head is really arrogant and domineering!"

"It's really arrogant, but the name of this guy is out, and he has defeated more than 20 good players in the rest of the halls in half a month, and those guys are all famous red sticks that can be beaten in each hall!"

"I don't know what kind of temperament Qin Bao has just taken the position and this thunder tiger who can fight, I hope you don't be too greedy, otherwise our life will not be easy!"

"That's right, Zhongyitang has mastered nearly half of the Chancheng rivers and lakes in one go, if they are excessively exploited, our little people will have a hard time!"

"It should be okay, there is no rumor of Zhongyi Hall asking us to add money, I guess we still do things according to the old rules!"

"How can this be said accurately, at the moment the Zhongyi Hall is understaffed, whether it is the hall master Qin Bao or the Thunder Tiger who can fight just now, they all put their minds on dealing with foreign enemies, and they don't have the heart to pay attention to us small traders who pay money right now!"

"Hey, I really don't know when such a day will be a head, and if I continue to make trouble, I really can't get by with that little business, I hope Zhongyitang will stabilize the situation as soon as possible!"

“……”

All kinds of discussions have been raised, and the tea guests are very concerned about the situation in the city and rivers in the past half month, which are related to their vital interests, and worries are inevitable.

As long as the public security environment is stable, with the superior geographical location of Chancheng and the conditions itself, it is very easy to make money in business, although it has to suffer from the double exploitation of the government and the gangs, but there is still money to be made.

Ordinary people also hope that the security environment around them is stable, so that they can live with peace of mind, and do not have to worry about sudden bad luck or loss of livelihood due to poor security environment.

No wonder they are so concerned, the rivers and lakes of Chancheng in the past half a month have not been calm at all, on the contrary, there are signs of boiling and rebellious.

First of all, Zhongyitang fought with the neighboring two halls, and that night the Zhongyitang suddenly changed hands, and in the early morning, the neighboring two halls were destroyed one after another, and all of them were under the control of Zhongyitang.

This is nothing, but it's just a change of object to pay protection money, as long as Zhongyitang is not too greedy.

It's a pity that Zhongyitang's actions caused turmoil in the rivers and lakes of Chancheng, and the rest of the Jianghu Halls saw that Zhongyitang's territory suddenly skyrocketed, but the manpower was pitiful, and they suddenly had the idea of fishing in troubled waters.

So in the next half a month, waves of good hands from the rest of the rivers and lakes in Chancheng poured in, either openly or secretly testing the bottom line of Zhongyi Hall.

No one expected that Zhongyi Tang, which had suffered heavy losses in manpower and was not even enough to completely control the newly added territory, suddenly appeared with a good player named Lei Hu, and led a few younger brothers to overthrow all the thugs sent by the rest of the Jianghu Tangkou, not giving them the slightest opportunity to take advantage of.

In just half a month, the name of Lei Hu resounded throughout the Chancheng rivers and lakes, and was called 'the first good hand in Chancheng rivers and lakes' by good deeds.

With a good hand like Lei Hu, although Zhongyitang is still understaffed, it guards its own territory and the territory newly under its control, and does not give the nearby Jianghu Hall a chance to fish in troubled waters.

As Zhongyitang gradually stabilized the situation and quickly recruited younger brothers and good players, the situation in Chancheng gradually stabilized, and Zhongyitang, a newly rising lobby, gradually gained a foothold.

Seeing that the changing rivers and lakes of Chancheng are about to stabilize, the tea customers in the teahouse can have the heart to talk and laugh, and they don't care who is the boss, as long as the situation stabilizes and no longer affects their lives and business, they all have to pay protection fees anyway, and it is the same for anyone.

The tea guests who were joking and talking did not expect that their discussion reached the ears of the tea guests at a table in the corner, but it caused the sturdy young man to have a displeased face, and his eyes were full of disdain and eagerness.

"What a bullshit No. 1 master in Chancheng Jianghu, I'm the first to be unconvinced!"

The sturdy young man opened his mouth indignantly, poured the tea in the cup into his mouth, and muttered to himself: "If you are met by me one day, you must have a fight with this so-called 'No. 1 master of Chancheng rivers and lakes'!" ”

"Shirong, don't mess around!"

Sitting at the same table with the sturdy young man was a young man in a Confucian shirt, with an elegant and gentle atmosphere, and a vigorous and heroic spirit that could not be hidden through the silk.

Listen only to his discontents; "These have nothing to do with us, don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, besides, there are people outside the world, since the sudden appearance of the Thunder Tiger in Zhongyi Hall can have a great name, it is obviously all really good, who knows how strong his strength is?"

"No matter how strong you are, can you still be stronger than the master?"

The sturdy young man looked disappreciative and sneered; "That is, the master wants to be the head of the Black Flag Army, and he has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, otherwise how can there be any room for Thunder Tiger to show off his might?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The young man in the Confucian shirt stared at him, and there was a powerful momentum on his body, which instantly suppressed the fierce young man, and he had no good air; "People who practice martial arts in my generation, practicing martial arts is used to strengthen the body and protect the family and defend the country, but it is not used to fight bravely and ruthlessly in the rivers and lakes, Shirong, you have to remember, otherwise you will not be polite as a teacher!"

"Got it, master!"

The sturdy young man looked depressed and honestly bowed his head in response.

"Of course, if someone really goes too far, you can do it righteously!"

The young man in the Confucian shirt smiled slightly, and then spoke leisurely......
