"Okay, surnamed Song, you are determined to follow Li Xiang all the way to the dark, right? We'll see! ”

Seeing that no one came to his side, Zhao San sneered and threw a bombshell again: "I forgot to tell you, Zuo Lengchan, one of the three gang leaders of the Qingzhu Gang, will leave Beibo City in a short time, although I don't know what happened, but the surname Li has lost his backer, how long can he be happy?" Think for yourselves. ”

After struggling in Beibo City for most of his life, Zuo Lengchan wants to leave this place, so he naturally has to make some arrangements, at least for some old subordinates who are unwilling to follow him to leave, he must give an explanation to those people.

Even if the prosperity and wealth of those people cannot be guaranteed, the basic net worth and life must be guaranteed.

For this reason, it is inevitable to make some transactions with some previous enemies, and as a result, the news will naturally leak out.

"Ah this, I think Zhao Ye's side is more suitable for me, so I said goodbye to everyone."

"Actually, I always thought that Li Heihu was young and vigorous and couldn't go long, but now it seems that this is really the case."

Many traders have said that they didn't think about it before, and now they immediately switch to the camp, as for the dough? They don't care, if it's embarrassing, then embarrassing, what kind of businessman are they? Just do charity.

In these years, they all eat people without spitting out bones, and they can only go to the end with a ruthless heart.

Seeing the wind and making the rudder is just the norm.

Of course, there are still some people who support Li Xiang, and some of them value his youth and promisingness, even if they are stumbling for a while, there will be a time when the dragon will talk and travel for nine days.

Others have been in contact with them, and do not believe that the man who is full of cruelty and trusted by his subordinates will fall like this.

What happened here quickly reached Li Xiang's ears.

Inside the Qihua Building.

While entertaining merchants with good relations, Li Xiang did not forget to introduce his special projects, such as wind and snow, mountain and sea delicacies, and countless others.

When his subordinates came to tell him that someone was robbing him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Leave those people alone, let Lao Song bring all the merchants who can be wooed to Qihualou as soon as possible." ”

For him, these businessmen are no different from ATMs, if they are used properly, they can be recycled, but he has always advocated that there are dealings, and will not collect benefits in vain, and will provide convenience and feedback in some aspects, so that everyone can make money and progress together.

"But Master Li, then Zhao Gang is too deceitful, do we have to swallow our anger like this?"

The little brother who passed the word gritted his teeth and felt extremely aggrieved.

"It's not time yet, don't worry, there will be a day when that guy will pay for his blood."

Li Xiang patted his little brother on the shoulder, as a comfort, the top priority is to improve his strength, when he is strong enough to crush all enemies, all the current obstacles, as well as the so-called rules, will not be able to stop his footsteps.

It is true that now he can also come directly to the door and kill the surnamed Zhao, but there are some things that can be indispensable, especially now that he is in the position of the big boss, if he makes an attack on his compatriots without authorization, it will be light to be driven out of the Qingzhu Gang.

It is more likely that he was chased and killed by the Qingzhu Gang.

Although his martial arts are not weak, he has lost the position of the big boss, whether it is Qi Hualou, or the current group of junior brothers, or the support of those businessmen, they will leave him.

After all, a person is weak, and even if he is at that time, I am afraid that he can only flee out.

So we have to be patient for the time being.

The crowd at the entrance of the building was bustling, and the vendors that Zhao Gang could attract were only a part, and more people still went to the meeting as scheduled.

It's a point not to believe that Li Xiang will fall here, on the other hand, since they can't afford to offend both sides, it is better to choose the first person to find them.

"I don't know how Li Heihu will deal with it, I think what Zhao San said before is true, if Mr. Zuo really leaves here, I am afraid it will be difficult to support him alone."

"Heh, Beibo City is not the only family of the Qingzhu Gang, in my opinion, with Li Ye's means and strength, he can start from scratch, or find another backer, why do you have to fight for power in this acre and three points of land?"

"That's right, you haven't known it, you probably don't know it, that young man who looks like he is only in his teens, but he has fought from the bottom of society.

Originally, he was just a thug who relied on ruthlessness to support his family, but later he learned the powerful martial arts from somewhere, and since then he has jumped into the dragon gate and risen rapidly to the current level. ”

There was a lot of discussion, although some of them chose to support Li Xiang, but they still had doubts about whether this person could withstand the next series of possible crises.

After all, when the general trend is today, it depends on the number of people, can you have a fart? When you come out to mix, you have to talk about power.

You might be able to fight ten people alone, but what about a hundred? You may say that you are born with divine power, martial arts, and you can do it with one enemy and one hundred, but if the target group is replaced by a thousand, ten thousand, or a million, can you still do it?

When the quantity accumulates to a certain extent, a qualitative change occurs.

In particular, some heavy weapons that conquer cities and territories are beyond the power of manpower to resist.

It is precisely in this way that seniority is extremely important, and the family and sect background can be rampant in the world.

However, when someone dug out Li Xiang's rise journey, the merchants were a little shocked, they knew that the guy who became famous as a teenager was powerful, but they didn't expect the other party's fame to be so legendary.

The guy fell off the cliff and got the opportunity to become a martial arts master overnight, which everyone likes to see.

But there are always too few such examples, like Li Xiang, who went from a small gangster to a big boss, alone to dozens of subordinates, which is already very rare in reality.

The point is that the person is still young and has more room to rise.

"Ahem."

Suddenly, a light cough sounded, the sound was not loud, but the penetrating power was extremely strong, and it instantly spread throughout the audience.

I saw Li Xiang wearing a white robe, his long hair tied back his head, step by step, with the support of eight gangs, sitting on the main seat of the banquet.

The people who can serve as guards around him are all good players who can fight seven or eight ordinary people, and these people can even drag a big boss in a short period of time.

Of course, the big boss here does not include himself, he is an out-of-spec existence.

"Everyone."

As he spoke, the noise in the field gradually faded away, and the atmosphere slowly quieted down.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the main seat, and in previous years, the Three Altars Association would only collect some money on a monthly basis, commonly known as protection fees, and would not make such efforts to make a banquet or other idle work.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Although they are now the leaders of the Qingzhu Gang, they have already decided that Li Xiang has a plan, and for them, the-for-tat matter with Zhao Gang has to be put in the back row, after all, what is involved now is their actual vital interests.

"As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, not long after our Qingzhu Gang took over Jiumachi Street, Li is also a newcomer, we can't control the previous things, and we don't want to care, but starting today, the rules of this street have to be changed."

Li Xiang's face was calm, when someone benefited, there must be another group of people's interests suffered, unless a new market was opened, otherwise the cake would be so big, some people would have to eat more, and some people would have to eat less.

The law of the jungle eats the strong, and the natural cycle is the principle of heaven.

After speaking, he did not rush to speak, but gave everyone time to buffer.

"Sure enough."

The vendors are not surprised, doing their business is indispensable to deal with gangs and gangsters, and paying protection money is actually nothing.

After all, if there are no such gangs, there will be other gangsters who will come to find their stubble, and it is good to take some money, but you can eat and drink for nothing, and an unhappy thing to knock down their stalls can be seen everywhere, which will not only affect the income, but also scare away customers.

Once you come and go, you will suffer a lot of losses.

Therefore, paying protection money is actually not a bad thing, because the quality of the people in these gangs is much higher than that of those wandering gangsters, and if they pay the money, they can do business with peace of mind.

As for counting on the government? Oh, those bad men don't come to blackmail them, thank God.

"First, first of all, the issue of money, I have also understood the collection method of the three altars before, they are charged according to the size of the store, the small ones are three to five taels per month, and the larger ones are ten taels and upwards.

My rules are also simple, on the basis of their original foundation, the small shop rises to ten taels of silver, and the large shop raises to twenty taels of silver and upwards. ”

Li Xiang's eyes swept over, and as he expected, as soon as these words came out, everyone immediately blew up and objected.

"No, Boss Li, the original example is enough, if you add more, we really can't afford it!"

"yes, this still doesn't let people live?"

"Robbery can't come like this, we can't do it all, if we really want to do this, not only will we not make money, but we will have to post it upside down."

"Gangs collect money, and the court also collects taxes, and if we do this again, we won't have to do business!"

The vendors all protested fiercely, which was so ruthless that almost as soon as they came up, they tripled the original protection fee, and no one could stand it.

They thought that the money would rise, but they didn't expect it to rise so much all of a sudden, and they didn't leave a way to live at all.

At this moment, even Song Yuanshan, who has always supported Li Xiang, is silent, it doesn't matter if his family has a big business, but he also knows that it is not easy for those small families, in this era of three taels of silver per capita, it is a bit high to charge so much.

After all, these people who do business are richer than ordinary people, but their magnanimity is limited

"Silence."

Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more uncontrollable, Zhong Silkworm next to him hurriedly stood up and shouted, he was already stronger than ordinary people, and he also had some kung fu at hand, so his voice was loud, and he roared at this time, like a lion roaring, and suddenly shook the field.

Although everyone was still very unconvinced to increase so much protection money, the voice gradually subsided.

"I know it's not easy for everyone, so, listen to me finish the rest of the words, we won't take this money in vain."
