Hearing this, the middle-aged woman who was making an abacus in front of the counter raised her head and looked at several men, with a look of embarrassment in her eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long while, he took out a handful of silver taels from under the counter and said, "A few adults, the sound of the small shop this month is not good, and I can only barely make ends meet, and I don't even have the cost of hiring a buddy, so I can only take out so much." ”

"That's how much, one hundred and thirty-five taels of silver, you are asking for food when we are! I don't care what your business is, in short, three gold ingots a month is a child. A big man shouted viciously, and he started to do it as soon as he didn't agree with him.

The proprietress was forced to be helpless, so she had to make a bitter face, and reluctantly took out a handful of silver taels again, a total of just three hundred.

Several big men counted the amount of silver taels and confirmed that they were correct before leaving here.

Just as they left, the young man walked out of it with a plate of barbecue beef and said, "Mother, are they coming to collect fees again?"

"Yes!" the middle-aged woman said with a sigh of relief, looking weak, and her face was full of melancholy.

"Father, we can't go on like this, how much money do we make a month! The young man said with an indignant face.

The middle-aged woman sighed and said, "This is also something that can't be helped, who let us have no one behind us! ”

Hearing this, the young man also hung his head and looked helpless.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know what fees they charge? Do everyone who opens a store have to pay a fee?" Xiao Han, who was sitting not far away, suddenly asked.

The young man took a towel in his hand and carefully wiped the table, and said without raising his head: "Of course, it is the protection fee and the site fee, three gold ingots a month is indispensable, our small shop only earns a total of more than a dozen gold ingots a month, and after removing the five gold ingots handed over by the city lord's mansion, there is not much left, and I can only barely make ends meet." ”

"Does every store have to pay such a fee?" Xiao Han then asked.

The young man shook his head and said, "The taxes of the City Lord's Mansion are mandatory for every store, but the people in the back are all members of the adventurer team, relying on their own power in the city, they began to pick those small shops that have no backstage support to collect fees indiscriminately. ”

Xiao Han was silent, he also knew in his heart that things like this happened everywhere, in this world of the jungle, if you don't have strength, you can only be bullied, this is the unspoken rule of almost every world.

"The hostess, there is no room to spare. At this time, a voice came from outside, and I saw several young men in white Taoist robes walking in from outside.

Seeing the guests coming up, the shopkeeper in the inn hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, of course there are guest rooms, I don't know how many guest officers need a few rooms?"

Several young people looked around the inn with a proud expression, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This inn is inevitably too bad, isn't it?

"We're too late, the other inns are full, let's take a break!" said a young man next to him.

"That's it, shopkeeper, we've taken over all this inn, and we'll get rid of all those irrelevant people!" said a young man with an arrogant attitude.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper and the middle-aged woman sitting at the counter were both embarrassed, and the middle-aged woman spoke: "Guest officer, there are still a lot of rooms left in our inn, which should be enough for you to rest." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, tell you to do whatever you want, are you afraid that our Jiuyang Sect won't be able to give money?"

As soon as they heard that it was the Jiuyang Sect, the middle-aged woman and the shopkeeper changed their expressions, and they were forced to be helpless, so they had to go upstairs to invite all the guests who had already lived in the inn, and for a while, there was a noisy cursing sound from time to time on the second floor of the inn.

"Damn, how does your store do business, uncle, I paid to live in, why did you let me go temporarily, don't you want your store to open, uncle, I'm a member of the Bloody Thorn Adventurer Squad." On the second floor of the inn, a deep voice came down, but the next moment, the voice of the person who spoke suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "What, the people of the Jiuyang Sect, forget it, when I didn't say anything." ”

Then, I saw a big man with a bear's waist and a leopard's back quickly walking down from the upper floor.

Next, people came down from the second floor one after another, although there were many people with hot tempers among them, but as soon as they heard the name of Jiuyang Sect, they immediately tightened their necks, and left here obediently without saying a word, their faces full of fear.

Soon, the guests in the inn had been cleaned up, and only one man and one beast were left eating barbecue beef leisurely on the first floor of the inn, seemingly indifferent to everything around them.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, you have to change an inn to live, these two plates of barbecue milk shop should also be given to the guest officer for free, and I hope the guest officer will forgive me. The shopkeeper returned a gold ingot to Xiao Han and said apologetically.

Xiao Han glanced at the gold ingots returned by Xiao Er in the shop lightly, and did not take it back, then turned his head to look at the few young men who claimed to be from the Jiuyang Sect, and said, "How much money are you going to pay to buy this inn." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of several young people of the Jiuyang Sect suddenly gathered on Xiao Han's body, the cold glint in his eyes flashed, and his gaze was fierce, if a timid person was stared at by them like this, I am afraid that he would be frightened to reveal a timid posture on the spot.

"Boy, who are you?" said a young man from the Jiuyang Sect, his face was very unsightly, and they had already heard a hint of provocation from Xiao Han's words.

The rest of the young people of the Jiuyang Sect also stared at Xiao Han with a cold face, constantly thinking about what kind of big force Xiao Han was, because in the Black Horn Empire, the reputation of the Nine Yang Sect is very great, as long as it is the people of the Black Horn Empire, almost everyone knows it, no one knows, looking at the entire empire, there are only a handful of people who can argue with the Nine Yang Sect, and they are all worried that Xiao Han is a person in a big force.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Han's mouth, and he said: "You are not qualified to know the identity of the next, and you haven't answered me yet! Although Xiao Han's tone was very flat, anyone could hear the arrogance in his words, and he didn't put the Jiuyang Sect in his eyes at all.

The shopkeeper of the inn and the shopkeeper were all embarrassed, they knew that if the two sides continued like this, with the strength of the Jiuyang Sect, they would definitely not give up, and once there was a fight, then their small inn would not be able to withstand the toss.

The shopkeeper and the innkeeper wanted to go forward to persuade Xiao Han, but looking at Xiao Han's young face and extraordinary temperament, this made them stop the thoughts in their hearts. As the people who opened the inn, they saw a lot of people of all kinds in a day, so that they also practiced a certain vision, and they knew in their hearts that the identity of that young man was definitely not so simple, and they rushed forward to persuade him, I am afraid that not only will not play a role, but will provoke themselves.

Several young people of the Nine Yang Sect were all very proud, relying on the powerful background behind them to be fearless of anyone, Xiao Han's contemptuous attitude suddenly angered them, one of the young people took out a purple lazuli from the storage belt, and said with a proud expression: "I will give a purple lazuli to cover this inn, do you have any objections?"

A purple lazuli is equivalent to a hundred gold ingots, which is almost half a year's income of this inn.

The proprietress of the inn and the shopkeeper were also shocked by the generosity of the people from the Jiuyang Sect, and the father and son looked at each other, and they were a little moved.

Xiao Han sat at the table and leisurely ate barbecue beef, and as soon as he turned his hand, he took out a handful of purple lazuli from the storage ring and threw it on the table: "I took out ten purple lazuli stones to charter this inn, please leave!" Xiao Han is not a person who likes to show off, but the actions of these people in front of him make him very unaccustomed to it, so he has such an abnormal behavior.

Looking at the ten purple gold stones that Xiao Han took out, several young people from the Jiuyang Sect were furious, became fierce and vicious, and began to ask: "Boy, you are deliberately going against our Jiuyang Sect, you can't find death." ”

"Get out of here immediately, otherwise, even if you have money, we can let you die to enjoy it. ”

"If you don't want to die, get out of here immediately, offend my Jiuyang Sect, even your prince won't be able to bear the consequences." ”

Several young people shouted one after another, and slowly surrounded Xiao Han, surrounding Xiao Han inside.

Xiao Han didn't squint, didn't look at them, still lowered his head and ate the barbecue beef on the table, and said, "If you can't afford it, please leave! Now that this inn has been chartered by me, I don't welcome you here." ”

"Look for death!" Several young men were furious, and immediately two of them waved their fists and hit Xiao Han's head.

Xiao Han showed a look of disdain in his eyes, and the essence in his eyes flashed, and two chopsticks immediately flew out of the chopstick box on the table and shot towards the two people who were doing it like lightning.

Ahh

As two desolate screams sounded, the fists of the two of them like Xiao Han were directly pierced by a chopstick, making their palms unable to open, and the two of them bared their teeth and were in pain.

Xiao Han's hand suddenly shocked several other young people who still wanted to do it, and their eyes were full of deep jealousy.

"You dare to do something to the people of our Nine Yang Sect, are you impatient to die. A young man shouted in a bad voice.

Xiao Han's eyes flashed with coldness, and with a wave of his hand, the two chopsticks in his hand flew out together, turning into two sharp swords that pierced the throat of the person who spoke, killing him on the spot.

Xiao Han's tactics frightened several people, and one of them said in a trembling tone: "You...... You...... You...... How dare you kill our people from the Nine Yang Sect?"

"If you want to live, get out of here immediately, otherwise, I don't mind killing a few more people. Xiao Han said in a flat tone, his voice was a little indifferent, which made several young people feel cold.

Hearing this, several young men who were so frightened that they were almost terrified looked at each other, and then left in ashes without saying a word.

"Stop, then this man is carried out. Xiao Han stopped a few people, stretched out his hand and pointed at the young man on the ground.

Several people from the Nine Yang Sect did not dare to disobey, and immediately returned, carrying the body of the companion and leaving the inn.

As the people of the Jiuyang Sect left, the inn suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and the innkeeper and the shopkeeper looked at Xiao Han timidly, not knowing what to do next.

Xiao Han threw down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, I have chartered this inn now, and these ten purple lazuli stones should be regarded as expenses!"

Now that the sky has darkened, in the second-level city where Xiao Han is located, a carriage is slowly walking on the somewhat cold street, and more than a dozen guards riding spirit beast mounts are walking on both sides, protecting the carriage tightly, so that people can know at a glance that the people in the carriage are either rich or expensive.

At this time, several young men ran over from the front, and finally came straight to the carriage, it was a few people from the Jiuyang Sect who had just been driven out by Xiao Han, and on the back of one of them, he was still carrying the body of that companion.

"Childe, you have to be the master for us! Someone dared to challenge the authority of my Jiuyang Sect, not only did he not take our Jiuyang Sect seriously, but he also killed Xiao Si. ”

"Childe, Xiao Si was killed, this matter must be brought to justice, otherwise, where is the authority of our Jiuyang Sect. ”

As soon as several young men approached the carriage, they began to wail loudly, their faces full of anger.

"What's going on, tell me in detail. A middle-aged man riding on a spirit beast mount asked a few people.

Next, several young people added fuel to the story of what happened in the inn, and completely pushed Xiao Han to the opposite position of the Jiuyang Sect. And after hearing these words, more than a dozen guards riding spirit beast mounts all had angry expressions on their faces, and murderous intent loomed in their eyes.

"Childe, this person is too arrogant, we must teach a good lesson! Let those people know the consequences of the Jiuyang Sect. One of the guards on his mount spoke.

"Yes, Childe, we must teach that person a hard lesson, and dare not take our Jiuyang Sect in our eyes. ”

"He really can't be bullied by our Jiuyang Sect, and he actually killed my disciple of Jiuyang Sect, if you don't ask for an explanation for this matter, then what face does our Jiuyang Sect have to stand in the Black Horn Empire. ”

Many of the guards began to speak righteously, and the expressions on their faces were full of anger.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, listen to what you say, that mysterious young man's strength must be very strong, at least he is also a Xuan Emperor, we must not rush forward, the third senior brother is just going to pick us up tomorrow, and when the third senior brother comes, the strength of our side will also be much stronger, and then it is not too late to seek justice." A calm middle-aged man stopped the impulsive crowd. (To be continued.) )
