In the west of the city, somewhere in the house.

A very ordinary house, if there is anything special about it, it is that the yard is larger, the location is not a good location, and it is relatively remote.

Under the persimmon tree in the courtyard, Qin Yu was lying on the recliner, looking at the different shades of green above his head, but unfortunately it was not autumn and winter, otherwise the branches full of persimmons were quite elegant.

Shangguan Wan took the freshly brewed tea, walked over, put down the tea, and walked behind Qin Yu to rub his shoulders!

This courtyard was not secretly bought by Qin Yu with the intention of hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house, but rented in the name of Zhong Manzi!

When Zhong Manzi first learned that Qin Yu was going to 'rent a house' for him, he was excited and twisted, and he had a well-deserved posture, but now Zhong Manzi is in this house, but he is working with Liu Erniu!

In the middle of the courtyard there is a wooden shelf, on which is a large bucket, and under the barrel is a large basin, and in order to facilitate the filling of the large barrel above, two wooden ladders are erected next to it.

This is Qin Yu's filtration workshop!

Doing this at home, after all, there are still a lot of people, but fortunately I rented a yard outside.

Shangguan Wan rubbed Qin Yu's shoulders, and when she saw Zhong Manzi and the two of them dragging away a basin of salt water that was about to be filled, and quickly put an empty basin under the bottom, she said softly: "Da Lang, Liu Che, do they want too much?" ”

It has been three or five days since the house was rented, and in the past few days, Shangguan Wan has calculated that Qin Yu has filtered at least more than three thousand catties of salt water, and today he will filter seven or eight hundred catties of salt water.

With this amount, Shangguan Wan was really worried that something would happen!

The boiled private salt is spread out and sold, and it may not even be able to turn over a little wave, and once it is concentrated and sold, it is easy to have an accident!

Shangguan Wan doesn't understand how much energy Liu Che has, but as long as he thinks about it, I'm afraid that the probability that they will concentrate on selling is greater!

"More good! They will ask for a great amount, and when the time comes to divide the money, I will receive much money. ”

"Da Lang, you can earn money, but you can't put people in it!" Shangguan Wan saw that Qin Yu had such a terrible idea, and hurriedly persuaded him.

For the sake of silver, it's not worth putting yourself in it!

"Don't worry, Wan'er! I just purify the salt water, don't refine the salt, don't sell the salt, how much can I do? Could it be that the law of Hou Qin is not allowed to improve the taste of salt? Do you have to chew that weird taste of coarse salt to live? ”

Shangguan Wan didn't expect Qin Yu to throw off the responsibility like this, it seems to make some sense at first glance, but it can't be carefully scrutinized to purify the taste of salt, this can be said in the past, but how much have you improved the purity of the salt?

Fools know something is wrong!

Not to mention that you also received the money!

You're going to say you don't know?

Who will believe you?

The excuse of covering your ears and stealing the bell, but don't believe it yourself!

Shangguan Wan was about to persuade Qin Yu a few more words when there was a knock on the door of the house.

In the house, the four people were stunned for a moment.

They rented the mansion without telling anyone, and there would be no one who knew them!

Now there was a knock on the door, and there was something strange about it.

"Young Master?"

Liu Erniu asked in a low voice, and his eyebrows even picked the long door bolt behind the door.

The meaning is obvious, just hit it out!

They escorted Qin Yu and Shangguan Wan away!

Shangguan Wan was also a little nervous and tightened Qin Yu's sleeves, what they were doing, but it was a job of losing their heads, and now someone suddenly came to knock on the door, and without much thought, they could think of a bunch of soldiers or officials with long knives outside the door, ready to kill in.

Qin Yu patted Shangguan Wan's hand and motioned him to relax, and then he said to Zhong Manzi: "Manzi, go and see the situation!" Natural! Maybe it's the neighbors who come to visit! ”

Zhong Manzi received Qin Yu's subtext, nodded, and walked towards the door, saying in a continuous voice: "Coming, coming." ”

Liu Erniu was not at ease, so he hurriedly followed.

When Zhong Manzi touched the deadbolt in his hand, Liu Erniu had already picked up the long bolt behind the door in his hand, Zhong Manzi shook his head at him and asked him to stand aside, so that he would have nothing to do.

Zhong Manzi took a breath to relax the skin on his face, and then opened the deadbolt and opened a gap to come out.

Two doors, controlled by him.

"Who are you looking for? Is there something wrong? ”

Zhong Manzi asked in surprise when he saw the person standing at the door.

Liu Erniu didn't see the situation outside the door, but when he heard Zhong Manzi's tone, he couldn't help but squeeze the long door bolt in his hand.

"You're the one who lives in this house?"

There was a flowing voice outside the door, and Liu Erniu was stunned for a moment.

Not from the government?

"What's that saying?" There were three green-skinned men standing outside the door, Zhong Manzi didn't want to deal with them more, he just wanted to send them away quickly.

"Nothing! It's just that I saw you guys moving in, and I thought that you were all neighbors, so I came to have a look! See if there's anything you can help with? ”

"Thank you! But I don't need much help here, and I like to be quiet, so I'd like to thank you again for your kindness. Zhong Manzi was full of good words, but he refused to be thousands of miles away.

"Grass! Don't play stupid, you kid! Is my brother Long going to help you? Get acquainted..."

"What for? They are all neighbors, looking down and not looking up, what are they doing? The man standing at the door suddenly interrupted the speech of the person behind him, looking like a lesson.

"We're all neighbors, helping each other! I can help you solve trivial things like this! It's not expensive every month, just five taels of silver! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that there will be no flying rocks and flying into the yard. ”

Zhong Manzi was so angry!

The green-skinned gangsters guard the protection fee, it's not that he hasn't seen it, he usually looks for merchants, small stalls and vendors, he has never heard of a direct door-to-door collection of protection fees!

Zhong Manzi didn't know that they should be said to be sick in the brain? Or do you think you won't be beaten to death?

"What's the matter? Still want to collect protection money? Zhong Manzi deliberately raised his voice a lot, in order to let Qin Yu hear it clearly and let him understand what was going on.

When Qin Yu heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry!

Let's not say that he hasn't heard of anyone receiving this kind of protection fee, even if he does, he will directly pass the line, and he doesn't need to report to the official at all, and the gangsters in that area will take the initiative to deal with it!

The green-skinned gangsters don't want to die miserably, and in some things, they definitely don't dare to really force the people! Otherwise, what awaits him one day will not be the sunshine of the next day, but the dark dungeon!

Besides, the house Qin Yu is renting now is not a good location, how much money can he really charge for protection fees?

If you collect too much money, who will live here stupidly?

Therefore, in Qin Yu's heart, a few gangsters outside the door who asked for money really couldn't get on any stage.

"Erniu, let them have a long memory!"
