Chapter 39: Something Happened
"Thank you, brother, no need." Qin Ziling still replied calmly.
"You!" Zheng Xinghan shook his head helplessly, and then walked quickly towards Nangong Yue.
"Haha, good, good! I really didn't misread you, you are a seedling! It's a seedling! Zuo Le patted Nangong Yue's shoulder heavily, and said with a happy and excited face.
"It's all the teachings of Master Zuo!" Nangong Yue said modestly.
"Haha!" Zuo Le became more and more happy when he heard this, and patted Nangong Yue's shoulder again, and said, "Practice hard!" ”
With that, he turned and left.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Nangong!"
"Nangong Yue, congratulations, congratulations!"
“……”
The apprentices of the outer courtyard and the disciples of the inner courtyard all stepped forward to congratulate each other, and everyone had a smile on their faces, but the gaze in the depths of their eyes was complicated.
"Haha, thank you, I'll invite everyone to Zuixiang Building in the evening!" Nangong Yue said proudly.
As he spoke, Nangong Yue's gaze crossed the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, and looked in the direction of Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling turned around and walked to the sandbag and began to slap his palms, not even bothering to look at him.
The contradiction between the two has already been made public, and the two have also had a showdown in private, so Qin Ziling naturally will not step forward to accompany the smiling face because Nangong Yue has broken through to the iron level.
Nangong Yue is not Xu Yuanbiao, the seventh young master of Xujiabao, and he is not qualified enough to let Qin Ziling pretend to be a bear in front of people!
Seeing this, Nangong Yue's face unconsciously became gloomy.
Everyone felt Nangong Yue's unkind expression, followed his gaze, and when they saw Qin Ziling, they couldn't help but secretly shake their heads. Wu Cheng, Nangong Yue's dog, in order to please Nangong Yue, deliberately pouted and said: "Hmph, who does he think this Qin Ziling is, he has practiced for nearly three years to break through to the skin film level, he is not worthy of lifting shoes for Senior Brother Nangong, and he dares to put on a shelf!" ”
"Wu Cheng, it's not your turn to talk about the senior brother in the inner courtyard!" Zheng Xinghan's face sank when he heard this, and he reprimanded.
"Senior Brother Zheng, in fact, although Wu Cheng's words are a little inappropriate, he is also telling the truth. Today is also a good day for me, he doesn't give face like this, if it weren't for Zuoshi's face, I would have to give him a good look. Nangong Yue retorted coldly.
Zheng Xinghan looked at Nangong Yue, a look of annoyance flashed in the depths of his eyes, but in the end, he reluctantly smiled and said: "Okay, Qin Ziling has that character, he only focuses on martial arts, everyone is the same brother and sister, so don't worry about him like him." ”
"Practicing martial arts also requires self-knowledge, as far as his talent and poverty are concerned, it is useless to practice again." Nangong Yue said with disdain.
"That's it, that's it!" Wu Cheng and several of Nangong Yue's henchmen and younger brothers all nodded in agreement.
"That's true!" Lu Taiqiang, who was born into a wealthy family in the inner city, also said a word, while the other inner courtyard disciples all smiled unnaturally, neither echoing nor refuting.
The second floor of the "Flower Rhyme" gouache rouge shop.
"I'm sorry shopkeeper Yun, I haven't been in the martial arts hall for the past few days, and I don't know if there is trouble in the store." Qin Ziling arched his hand at Yun Lan's sister and brother and said.
"Mr. Qin's words are serious, we are causing trouble to Mr." Yun Lan bowed slightly.
"This is my duty, and the cloud shopkeeper will come." Qin Ziling waved his hand and said.
"Mr. Qin, please sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly." Yun Lan invited Qin Ziling to sit by the window, and personally poured tea for Qin Ziling, before saying: "Recently, our workshop was vandalized by some people in the middle of the night, and many raw materials were destroyed, and some people in this shop came to pick quarrels and provoke trouble from time to time. ”
"Did you report it?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Of course, I reported to the official, but it was useless, and I spent a lot of money in vain." Yun Tai couldn't bear it when he heard this, and said angrily.
"Mr. Qin is not surprised, his younger brother is young and short-tempered." Yun Lan hurriedly glared at Yun Tai, and then said to Qin Ziling apologetically.
"Anyone who encounters such a thing will have a temper. Do you know who did this? Qin Ziling first waved his hand noncommittally, and then asked.
"It should be from the Yama Gang! We used to give them a share of the money every month, but this month they suddenly raised the share money to a level that we couldn't accept. Naturally, we didn't agree, and we also raised the names of Mr. Qin, you and the Han Tie Sect, and they left without saying anything. I thought this was supposed to be the end of it, but I didn't expect this to happen next. Yun Lan replied.
"Are there any casualties on the other side of the workshop except for the destruction of materials?" Qin Ziling asked.
"There was a nursing home who was badly injured and died yesterday." Yun Lan's eyes turned slightly red.
"Okay, I see. You don't have to go to the government for this matter, I'll take care of it. Qin Ziling's pupils shrank slightly, nodded, and got up.
"Mr. Qin, Yan Kui, the leader of the Yama Luo Gang, is a veteran cowhide level martial artist, he has killed a lot of people, and he is a ruthless bully, you don't need to conflict with him, you just need to negotiate with them, as long as the money does not exceed fifteen taels per month, we will admit it. You are also a martial artist in the skin membrane realm, and you are also a disciple of the old martial artist Zuole, he must give face if you come forward. Yun Lan said with a look of worry on her face.
"How much was that, and how much does he want from you now?" Qin Ziling asked.
"It used to be five taels a month, but now it's fifty taels! These bastards, fifty taels are handed over to them, what money do we make? Yuntai couldn't help but be indignant again.
"Alas!" Yun Lan sighed, then took out a silver ticket with thirty taels of silver written on it, handed it to Qin Ziling and said, "This matter has Mr. Lao Qin." ”
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it today." Qin Ziling didn't say anything polite to Yun Lan, took the silver ticket, said a word, and then asked the location of the Yan Luo Gang, and went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he saw a few men walking around the shop who looked like ruffians and hooligans, and frightened some of the female customers who were going to buy gouache and rouge to turn around and leave before they could step in.
Qin Ziling glanced at the men coldly, didn't say anything, and left the store.
"Sister, do you think this Qin Ziling can handle it? If it really doesn't work, let's ask Zhuang Gaochi to come. Standing at the window watching Qin Ziling's back, Yun Tai said.
"Qin Ziling has a cold iron courtyard behind him, and Yan Kui always has to sell some face." Yun Lan said, but she sighed faintly in her heart, full of worry.
Her parents passed away unexpectedly, and she was able to support such a family business with a disabled younger brother as a woman, which naturally has her advantages.
The Yama Gang suddenly violated the rules of the road and quoted such a price that they could not accept.
Yuntai can't see that there is something strange about this matter, so how can Yun Lan not see it?
She suspected that Zhuang Gaochi was behind the scenes, and once he really wanted to invite him, it would really lead the wolf into the room.
Even if it wasn't Zhuang Gaochi, since she was suspicious, it would be absolutely impossible for her to invite him.
