This is actually a soft nail, and after coming out of Chen Jiageng's yard, Chen Fangguo was full of upset.

He lingered at the gate of the courtyard for a few moments, and decided to go to Xunyang Martial Arts Academy for a walk, because he wanted to ask if Chen Xuan had come back, and if he came back, he would just discuss it with him.

Walking on the street, the crowd of people coming and going, busy, didn't seem to notice the existence of this little person, and he felt an inexplicable sadness in the depths of his heart.

Could it be that my life is so mediocre and plain?!

On the way to follow Chen Xuan here, he had also repeatedly asked himself, but on the outside, he actually didn't reveal it, so as not to make Chen Xuan think about him otherwise.

No matter what, the relationship between himself and Chen Xuan is indeed very deep, including the relationship with Chen Zhong, he and Chen Zhong were originally cousins, although they are not related by blood to Chen Xuan, but because his father is the head of the family, some people in the clan respect them very much, including himself.

Suddenly, there was a cacophony of people falling to the ground in the dark crowd of the streets, followed by a low murmur of complaints.

Chen Fangguo took a pound, and looked in the direction from which the voice came, only to see more than a dozen black-clad servants, holding bright leather whips in their hands, and began to whip and drive away the pedestrians and shops on the street.

"Dodge and flash tmd, Lao Tzu will whip you to death!"

A bald-haired man like a donkey saw it, Chen Fangguo refused to give way, and also raised his leather whip high at him.

Chen Fangguo was stunned for a moment, and then thought calmly, could these people be the commissioners of the Xunyang Prefect?

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, this is an iron law, even if Chen Fangguo's temper is stubborn, he will not dare to do it easily, because what awaits him may be a long prison sentence, maybe even his own life may be put into it.

Of course, he is also good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and if he is completely sure to deal with the other party, then it will be a different painting style.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? We haven't offended you, don't you just shout? Why do you have to use a leather whip? If it's a hit flower or grass, it doesn't matter much, but if you kill and injure someone, I think what will you do?!"

Seeing that Chen Fangguo, a small villager in the countryside, not only refused to give way, but also dared to fight back, he was immediately furious, and the leather whip in his hand shook two or three times in the air, and after afterburner, it really pulled towards Chen Fangguo's body.

Although Chen Fangguo's cultivation is not as high as Chen Xuan's, according to his cultivation level, they are the same as Chen Ruchu.

Just these few, the kung fu of the three-legged cat with bastard tolerance, can't get into him at all, and the same goes for this bald man.

Just when the leather whip was about to hit him, Chen Fangguo suddenly jumped out of the circle, and then kicked the bald man's bright pig's head with a backhand, only to see the bald man scream, spit blood and fell to the ground, tossed a few times, and was motionless like a dead pig.

"Come on, kill people, come on, kill people. ”

One of them, who looked like a leader, found his men on the ground, and immediately called out to the rest of the people, quickly surrounding him in the middle.

In their hands, they quickly hid the leather whip and took out the long knife that was dangling.

In the dazzling midday sun, the light of the long knife pierced the eyes of the crowd present, and they dodged to the sides, and some of the bolder ones occasionally looked secretly from the cracks in the wall.

It seemed that a vicious battle was inevitable, and everyone present was deeply sweating for Chen Fangguo.

"It seems that you people are very unkind?!" Chen Fangguo said with a sneer, looking around.

What does it mean to be kind? The guy in our hands is kind, don't worry, we will definitely return you a kindness. The man in black who took the lead played the long knife in his hand twice and said with a cruel smile.

"It's you?!It seems that I can't get past this level today?!" Chen Fangguo spread his hands and said.

He quickly understood what was going on with these people, before coming to Xunyang City, he had heard of such a thing from a family member.

That is, now the financial expenditure of the Great Chu Empire has encountered unprecedented difficulties, and some government officials up and down the empire have faced bankruptcy, and naturally, their salaries have become less and less, and some have been in arrears for half a year, or even a year.

In this case, there are some tolerant officials who have a little brains, and they will often discount some high-sounding guises, such as hunting down the imperial court criminals, random checking of shop tariffs, and so on.

In short, there are many reasons.

actually did the same unsightly thing as the hooligans and ruffians on the streets, if the judgment was correct, the situation that Chen Fangguo encountered in front of him might be like that.

It seems that today's group of people should not have pumped any oil and water, and they were in a very unhappy mood, so they smashed along the street and vented anger at everyone.

It's just that they probably never dreamed of meeting Chen Fangguo, and I'm afraid they will have their good fruits to eat at this moment.

Although Chen Fangguo didn't take them seriously at all, this script had to continue to be performed no matter what.

These poor melon-eating masses must understand a truth, that is, when encountering these unreasonable tolerances, they must fight hard to the end, otherwise, their hard days are still to come.

As a citizen of the Great Chu Empire, he can be regarded as a justice for his country.

"Who are you?!" the leader was about to raise his long knife and slash at him, when suddenly his face changed drastically, and the long knife was held high in the air, and he asked in a wary tone.

"I'm your eighteenth ancestor?!" Chen Fangguo smiled and replied.

"Lao Tzu's eighteenth generation ancestors are very glorious, where is it like you, who is like a street sweeper named Huazi......"

"Who do you say is called Hanako? Do you have a kind of tell Lao Tzu again?!"

It seems that the measurement of people is limited after all, and this little tolerance leader who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth actually angered him.

"What's the matter? You're still talking about Hanako?!So good, I'll tell my subordinates to scold you again, and let them line up to scold you, what do you think?!" The black-clothed man continued to say arrogantly.

His subordinates heard the grinding of their fists one by one, and they were eager to try, and the guy who was rushing to the forefront just now, who was about to beat Chen Fangguo, was the first to burst into foul language, "I'll you......"

Before the guy's words were finished, he saw a flash of light, and then another day of blood red, and then I heard a scream, a headless corpse, standing upright on the street, a scar the size of a bowl appeared on the corpse's neck, and a stream of blood with a strong fishy smell gushed out, like a small blood-colored fountain.

It is also strange to say that after the corpse took a few steps forward, a puff of black smoke came out of its body, shrouding it all around, and the people around it couldn't see it clearly, and when the night dispersed, people found out where there were any corpses, only to see a toad without a head, still muttering blood.

"It's not good, it's killing, it's not good, it's killing......"

"Damn, it turns out that this tolerance is not a human, it is a toad, no wonder they have no humanity at all......"

"I said that's the case, the government can't pay salaries, so naturally I can't afford to hire people, so I can only invite these turtle bastards, toads and the like, so that people are willing to toss us poor people with their lives. ”

In the crowd watching the excitement, they soon discovered the mystery of this, but they soon became worried about their future situation, because such a tolerance, they would toss back and forth in three days, and now that they know their true colors, I am afraid that there will really be no good fruit for them to eat in the future.

In the midst of the black-clothed soldiers, they suddenly burst into screams, and because of extreme fright, the long knives in their hands fell one by one on the hard stone slabs of the street, making a clanging sound, one after another.

"Who else?!"

Chen Fangguo waved his fists and looked up to the sky and smiled, like an angry lion.

"You...... How dare you kill ...... tolerance?"

The black-clothed man looked at him with itchy eyes and frightened eyes, his whole body began to tremble, and he stepped back step by step, and finally his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground, unable to get up again.

"Is there still a royal law, is there still a law?!"

Chen Fangguo handed it over step by step, and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm at him viciously, which was interesting to say, this thick phlegm hit the center of the other party's eyebrows.

In the midst of the excitement, Tolerance accidentally sucked the thick phlegm into his nose, and then retched and spit on the ground.

"Who are you?!" asked the man tremblingly after sucking the phlegm dry and wiping it off.

"Uncle, I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, I am Jiangzhou Yimen Chen Chen Fangguo is also...... If you don't have any, don't get out of here, or I'll be heavy on you......"

Chen Fangguo raised his neck, with a victorious attitude, and began to teach the other party a lesson.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Yimen Chen...... It's really eyes that don't know Mount Tai, it's really eyes that don't know Mount Tai, I'm sorry......"

"If I know my uncle, I'll be ......"

Chen Fangguo was about to tell them to get out of here, but with a roll of his eyes, he quickly changed his mind.

Because he thought of a better way to get money, it depended on whether these people knew each other or not.

"From now on, you will be your uncle on the streets of the town, and we will never have to come over to patrol the streets again......" The black-clothed man stood up tremblingly and said cautiously.

"So you really are in charge of this street?!" Chen Fangguo glared at them fiercely and asked.

"That's right, we are in charge of this street, we have been in charge of this area for nearly a hundred years, and we have met you today ...... uncle"

"Then I'll give you a chance, and you're going to listen to me......"

Chen Fangguo quickly came up with an idea, he decided to take a risk and give it a try, in case he didn't succeed, he could get out of the way, and if he succeeded, then he would become the landlord of one side.

"Uncle, please tell me ...... something"

"You keep patrolling the streets for me......"

When Chen Fangguo said this sentence unhurriedly, all the spectators present, including the tolerance of these toads, were stunned for a moment.

Because what they never expected was that this young boy, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old on the outside, actually started to be angry with these usually arrogant and unreasonable tolerances.

"You mean we can continue?!"

That guy couldn't believe his ears, he originally thought that Chen Fangguo would completely occupy this street, so that they would never be able to get involved, but he didn't expect the other party to continue on his own, and he didn't know what kind of medicine this young guy was selling in the gourd.

"I told you to keep patrolling the streets, do you hear me?!"

"Try uncle, let's continue to patrol the streets, continue to patrol the streets......" The other party finally heard Chen Fangguo's words clearly, and nodded incessantly.

In their minds, it was as if the sun had come out of the west, but the sun might have been fatal to them.

"But I have one more request, you can listen to me......"

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, since the other party let himself continue to live this kind of life, he must have his plans.

"Uncle, we're listening to you......"

"You guys charge me some money in these shops......"

"What do you charge?!"

", don't you know what fees to charge? What are you pretending to be confused with Lao Tzu, do you want to give me another headshot?!" Chen Fangguo glared at them and said viciously.

"Okay, okay, the little one knows, the kid knows what to do, you can rest assured, uncle, we have to collect some taxes and fees from the shops on this street at the beginning of every month, and then you can pay a little filial piety to the old man." ”

"I haven't finished yet...... Chen Fangguo glared at them, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and continued to say: "There is a roster on it, you are only allowed to collect their fees and taxes, and the other copper plates are not allowed, do you hear?!"

It turned out that Chen Fangguo had nothing to do in the past few days, so he walked around Xunyang City, and he paid attention to all the shops in the city, and found that some shops like to do some tricks and abductions, while other shops operate honestly.

Therefore, he wrote down the names of those shops that liked to cheat and cheat, made a roster, and was about to look for an opportunity to clean them up, but he didn't expect this opportunity to come in front of him.

Among the rosters of hundreds of shops, there is one that happens to be the pawn shop of the old rich man, so this pawn shop has become the focus of his attention, since these toads can be used, then why don't I make good use of it?!

When the tolerance leader trembled and took the piece of paper from his hand, after reading it from top to bottom, I saw that cold sweat began to gradually break out on his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly, Chen Fangguo knew that this kid should know that these shops may have their backstage, and some backstage will never dare to be provoked, such as the pawn shop owner Wang Lao Rich Man.

Sure enough, the head of the tolerance pointed to the pawn shop on the name and said to him: "Uncle, I'm afraid this is not easy to do, the small one really can't be provoked, why don't you delete this shop from the roster?!"

"It seems that you kid is really impatient, I can do whatever I tell you to do, don't you know?!"

"Uncle, even if you cut off your head, you don't dare to do this kind of thing, because this shop is really small and can't be provoked. ”

"Then this old rich man, who is he sacred? You are so afraid of him?!" Chen Fangguo also felt very strange, so he hurriedly asked directly.

The black-clothed men discussed it privately, and finally this leader came forward, arched his hand to Chen Fangguo, and said: "If you go back to your uncle, this old rich man Wang, his family background is very powerful, do you know who his biggest backer is?!"

Chen Fangguo's face turned pale, and he said: "I'm not an immortal, how do I know who his backer is, could it be that he is the number one person in our Great Chu Empire today, the God Emperor?!"

"Ah......h

His words made everyone present look at each other, and after a long time, the man in black said: "The backer of this old rich man is the number one person today, the God Emperor, I heard that he seems to be a distant uncle of the God Emperor......

"Oh, I heard that this person's backstage is not simple, it turns out that this is really the case. ”

"If his backstage is really the God Emperor, then don't talk about our prefect's yamen, even if the current emperor comes forward, I'm afraid he won't dare to touch a cold hair, I didn't expect this kid to dare to ......"

"This kid is quite kind, but I'm afraid he's going to be unlucky. ”

"I'm afraid the most unlucky person is not him, but our prefect, because he seized the pawn shop of this old rich man, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep his black gauze hat, beware that it's really as black as a crow in the world, and we, one of the few Qing officials, may not be able to save their lives in the end." ”

The onlookers were all gossiping to Chen Fangguo's ears, and he thought to himself, this may be the most difficult bone to gnaw, if this bone is gnawed off, it will not only be able to take down his pawn shop, but also put up a sign for himself in Xunyang City from now on.

In the future, whoever comes here to eat a bite to eat, up to the prefect and down to a wandering beggar on the side of the street, if they want to stay, they must bring their own here to worship the pier.

Thinking of this, Chen Fangguo's heart began to stir again, he felt that these things could be concealed from Chen Xuan first, there was no need to discuss with him, and it would not be too late to tell him when necessary, because according to Chen Xuan's character, he didn't like to cause trouble, maybe he would blame him on the contrary.
