In order to show that they have the heart to tolerate the world, the Great Chu royal family also engages in rain and dew from time to time for ordinary people in the imperial capital. Mortals who originally bowed down to cultivators naturally became more pious after receiving some benefits. About a thousand years ago, when an ordinary man knelt down in front of the ladder, the Holy Emperor received him on an exceptional basis and asked him what he wanted, and this mortal scholar offered two words written by himself.

Tianshu

At that time, the Holy Emperor Longyan was happy, so he decreed that the imperial capital would be named Tianshu City.

Chen Xi is now standing next to the ladder to climb the sky and look up, once there was only one ladder in Tianshu City, located on the hanging island where the imperial city is located. But now, almost every hanging island has a ladder hanging down. The Holy Emperor of Great Chu once decreed that on the eighth day of the eighth month of August every year, mortals can climb the ladder to the hanging island to watch.

For the people, this is tantamount to a grand festival. The hanging islands are inhabited by great families and great forces, and they can't see clearly when they look up on weekdays. Chen Xi looked up, and now even the shortest ladder to ascend to the sky was at least five hundred meters, and this height was only enough to make more than half of the mortals give up. In fact, the so-called annual grand festival is just a day when ninety percent of people who dare not climb the ladder shout and cheer for that adult.

He was now sure that Sang Qianhuan knew some things, such as knowing that he had taken in a few subordinates in Blue Star City. But Sang Qianhuan didn't know how many he received, he didn't know who he received, and Sang Qianhuan didn't ask. It can be seen that Sang Qianhuan is a person who knows how to be a boss.

In fact, from the very beginning, Chen Xi was not sure that he would be able to hide from the Divine Division, after all, it was a behemoth that made those big families feel terrified. If he wants to hide anything with his current ability, he can't do it at all. What he can rely on now is precisely this low status, so that even Sang Qianhuan can't show too much interest in him.

No one takes him seriously, but it's a good thing for Chen Xi.

He didn't go to Chen Dingdang's small courtyard, but after asking casually in a place not too far from the gods, he found a private house to rent. The courtyard is not large, and there are two matching rooms in each of the three main houses. There are two persimmon trees in the yard, and between the persimmon trees there is an old well.

The furnishings in the house are simple, and most of them are furniture that has not been used for many years. However, the owner of this house is diligent, the yard is swept every day, and the house is spotless. Seeing that Chen Xi was alone, the host's family also presented a new quilt.

Next, he had to rely on Directional Baojian to contact Chen Dingdang and the others.

The owner of this small courtyard is an old man in his fifties, alone. He has two yards, he lives in the backyard and the front yard is rented out. My wife passed away many years ago, and the old couple has no children. So Chen Xi can understand the mood of a lonely old man who has nothing to do except clean all the rooms and yards every day.

The old man's surname is Hong, his spirit is good, and his body is quite strong.

"Hong Ye"

Chen Xi moved two small stools and asked the landlord to sit down.

Lao Hongtou is honest and honest, where dare to be called like this by Chen Xi, and waved his hand again and again: "Little brother is a rich man at first glance, but I don't dare you call me like this." ”

"Uncle"

Chen Xi changed his name, took out a large piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "This is fixed money." ”

Lao Hongtou took it with both hands: "This is too much, how can it be regarded as a fixed money, even if you live for two years, you will be rich." I am a widow and a lonely, and it is useless to ask for more silver, just enough for me to eat and wear. ”

Chen Xi chatted with him for a few words, and then led the topic to whether the streets have been uneven recently. Lao Hongtou was interested in mentioning this, got up and went back to bring a plate of melon seeds and peanuts, and made a pot of high crushed: "The street has been a little uneven these days, it is said that the two gangs have fought a few days ago to grab the land, and no one cares." However, the underworld in the Pivot City is also quite well-behaved, and basically does not harm our people, they are fighting for a good word. ”

Lao Hongtou opened the chatterbox, obviously lonely and uncomfortable on weekdays: "Originally, the people of Sanshuitang were in charge of this ground, and they collected some silver from the shops on the street on the first day of every month as a nursing fee. They are also quite serious in their work, and they will definitely discipline someone who makes trouble. But from a year ago, the Black Tiger Gang, which had already been beaten on another street and couldn't lift its head, suddenly became powerful, and Sanshuitang was beaten to pieces. ”

Since then, all three streets in this neighborhood have belonged to the Black Tiger Gang. But in this way, it provoked the strange guest hall that has only risen in the past two years...... Originally, there was Sanshuitang in the middle, and the well water of Yiketang and the Black Tiger Gang did not violate the river water. Now that the territory of the two gangs is connected, it is inevitable that they will fight and kill. ”

When such an old man tells such a story, he always has a little bit of momentum to guide the country.

Chen Xi listened very seriously, and then asked, "What's going on with this strange guest hall?" ”

Lao Hongtou smiled: "What's so strange about being a stranger in a foreign land." In the early days, it was a group of Liba who joined forces to prevent being bullied, and later more and more outsiders in Tianshu City joined in, and it became a scale. This stranger hall is relatively the most regular underworld force, and they never take the initiative to bully people. Think about it, a group of outsiders are just trying to protect themselves. ”

In the old man's words, the pride of being a native of Tianshu City spontaneously arose: "They don't dare to bully the locals, if they really do that, the yamen will interfere." ”

The old man took a sip of tea and continued, "The lobby master of the Stranger Hall is new, but it is quite mysterious. It is rumored that he has advanced to the Strange Guest Hall for half a year, and he has won one challenge after another, and everyone has taken the seat of the hall master, of course, it is all hearsay. The hall master never showed up, there were four people in charge of the strange guest hall, the second hall master was the original hall master Gao Tang, the third hall master Hu Donkey, and the fourth hall master Bai whispered. The five hall masters Guo herded cattle. ”

Chen Xi smiled: "Uncle, you know very well. ”

The old man said proudly: "Since the rise of the Yiketang, they will send people to deliver things door-to-door during the Spring Festival in the past two years. I've seen all four hall masters, except for the four hall masters Bai Xiaosheng, who is a cold-looking person, they are all very kind. ”

Chen Xi nodded, thinking in his heart why Sang Qianhuan cared so much about such a small force? According to reason, whether it was the Yiketang or the Black Tiger Gang, they were all too small to deserve the attention of the Divine Division at all. Is it because the gods are suddenly interested in such a small sect because there is some big secret behind these small forces?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Chen Dingdang had mentioned that the Black Tiger Gang did things for the household office, and some small projects were also handed over to the Black Tiger Gang. And the Black Tiger Gang is also in charge of transporting corpses...... Tianshu City looks calm, but how many people have died in secret? The Black Tiger Gang was about to be wiped out, and behind its resurgence must be the support of the household government, which is one of the nine gates of the rivers and lakes...... If the national teacher makes a move against Jiumen, then many people will definitely die, and the Black Tiger Gang can't say what they know.

Chen Xi was still hesitating whether he should approach the Black Tiger Gang or the Strange Guest Hall.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

......

......

Lao Hongtou motioned for Chen Xi to sit, and he got up and went over to open the door. Outside the door, two men in black suits glanced at Lao Hong's head: "Old man, this month's share of money should be paid." ”

Lao Hong was stunned: "Only shops pay a little money, why should I pay?"

The man standing in front sneered: "Your yard is rented out, this is commercial." As long as it is commercial, the household government has the right to collect taxes. Why, do you, an old widow, dare to disobey the orders of the household office?"

"I ......"

Lao Hongtou opened his mouth, but finally did not dare to resist. He asked, "How much do I have to pay?"

"Fifty taels of silver!"

"Oh my God!"

Lao Hongtou was frightened and said: "I can't collect twenty taels of silver for renting this small courtyard for a year, and you will ask for fifty taels when you open your mouth, what will I give you?"

The man snorted: "I heard that you have received the benefits of the Stranger Hall, so if you can't take it out, you will ask for it from the Stranger Hall." Yiketang has a lot of money, and he can't take out this mere fifty taels? Old guy, do you remember, the Black Tiger Gang will destroy Yiketang sooner or later. If you have dealings with them, you can't find yourself at ease. ”

"This big brother. ”

Chen Xi got up and walked over and hugged his fists: "Everyone is a villager, and I don't know how many times we have to meet on this street in a year." I believe that you will scream when you see your uncle on weekdays, why are you so aggressive? The old man can't come up with this lot of silver, so it's better to be more tolerant. ”

"Where did you come from, and whose master didn't keep you on a leash?"

The man in black gave Chen Xi a blank look: "On these streets, without my Black Tiger Gang, the dogs don't dare to bark, what are you barking indiscriminately? If you want to get ahead, you can! You give out fifty taels of silver for the old guy, and we will turn around and leave." ”

Chen Xi was not angry, smiled and said, "Today I will give fifty taels, and you will come again tomorrow." Come and come, in fact, you want to force Yiketang to the cusp, right? Since your Black Tiger Gang is so powerful, you don't directly kill the people who are so embarrassed by the past, but you are a little cheaper. ”

"You-mom-!"

The man in the suit slammed his fist on Chen Xi's door, Chen Xi stretched out his hand and waved casually, and a slap flew the man out. He didn't want to cause any trouble for Lao Hongtou, so he made a move to save his face. Otherwise, this time the man would have been crushed.

The man was obviously taken aback by the beating, and when he got up and wanted to make a move, he was afraid that he would not be able to beat Chen Xi, so he took out a barrel from his cuff and twisted it towards the sky, and with a bang, a ball of fireworks exploded in the air.

"You wait!"

The two men took a few steps back, pinched their waists and looked at Fang Jie: "Sun Tzu, you must be from outside, right? I don't know the prestige of the Black Tiger Gang in this Heavenly Pivot City! Let you understand today, what is the meaning of the first bird must die!"

I have to say that the support of this Black Tiger Gang came really fast. In less than five minutes, a large group of people came from the other side of the street, all carrying bright long knives in their hands. These people are dressed up like each other, and they walk on the street hula a large group of menacing people.

At least one hundred and eighty people, for a middle-aged man who looks like a thief. Chen Xi didn't use the power of cultivation to find out the other party, but it was speculated that this person couldn't even break the void. The man who had been beaten met him and told him what had happened. The middle-aged man with mouse eyes immediately rolled his eyelids and arched his hand towards Chen Xi: "Brother on which road, my Black Tiger Gang has offended you by not opening my eyes, I will apologize for him first." Report it out, our two families will be close in the future. ”

At this moment, more than a dozen people came from the other side of the street, wearing cyan power suits. For a man in his thirties, with a strong figure. He roared loudly as he walked: "Which grandson just set off fireworks, Lao Tzu honestly in the toilet, and hit my head with a cannon skin, who let it stand up and pay Lao Tzu some medical expenses!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi burst out laughing.

This place of the market turned out to be really interesting.
