"Little Lu Geng, I've seen the owner." Seeing that Ling Chu really wanted to hire him as the shopkeeper, the young man was simply overjoyed, and even knelt down and kowtowed to her.

Ling Chu twitched the corner of his mouth, this Lu Geng was really sincere.

"No need to be polite, hurry up."

Ling Chu took a piece of rune paper and handed it to him, "Although I can't seal your yin and yang eyes, this rune paper can protect your safety, and the puppet soul will not dare to approach you easily in the future, so you don't have to worry about them eating you again." ”

"Really? That's great, thank you to the owner, thank you to the owner. Lu Geng almost cried with joy, he couldn't taste the food, it was too painful, he didn't expect this newly recognized owner to be able to help him solve it.

If it weren't for the shyness of his pocket, he couldn't wait to buy a bun and taste it now.

Ling Chu also knew that it was really painful not to be able to taste the taste, and the prince of King Jing had also had this experience, so he even went into the palace for this.

Seeing that it was not early and it was about to be curfew, Ling Chu signed a contract with Lu Geng and settled him in a small building.

Seeing that he was in rags, he also paid him a month's worth of money in advance, so that he could buy two new clothes for washing.

When you are a shopkeeper, you still have to pay attention to your image.

Although it is not required to be well dressed, at least it should be clean and tidy, at least not to disgust the guests who come to the door.

Outside, the puppet souls who had followed Lu Geng had long since disappeared, Ling Chu glanced around and didn't pay much attention to it.

I went back with someone.

After all, it was the first shop.

Ling Chu still chose a good day before hanging up the plaque and opening.

However, because it was a dead shop, the opening was relatively low-key and simple, and it was not hyped up.

On the first day of opening, although he knew that there would be no guests, Ling Chu still came.

He also inserted the hexagram banner used to set up the stall at the door of the shop, and asked the shopkeeper Lu to write down the price of various rune papers, and then Ling Chu sat in the private room separated from the side.

Seeing that there were no guests coming to the door, Ling Chu simply took out the cinnabar rune paper and started making talismans again.

Fu was only halfway through the painting when an arrogant voice came from the door.

"Hey, Dayuan Building, this is a newly opened shop...... Brothers, let's go and have a look. ”

Although he heard the sound of footsteps, Ling Chu ignored it and continued to draw rune paper in his hand.

Lu Geng was wiping the counter, heard the movement, looked up and saw a man leading seven or eight people in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"What do the guest officers need, you can come in and have a look."

The person who came impatiently stretched out his hand and pushed, "Don't fill garlic for Lao Tzu, don't hurry up and bring the silver ticket." ”

Lu Geng was confused, "What silver ticket?" ”

"Don't grind, you can't break the rules."

Lu Geng looked confused.

As soon as these people came in, they didn't buy anything, but opened their mouths to ask for money, and they made it impossible for him to break the rules.

It's really puzzling to him.

In the shop next to him, the guy who heard the movement and came to see the excitement, saw that he didn't understand anything, shook his head, and reminded him in a low voice, "This person's name is Er Laizi, he is a bully on this street, and he has to come to various shops every month to collect protection money." ”

Lu Geng frowned, "How much do they charge?" ”

Before the guy could speak, Er Laizi took a step forward and stretched out a palm to him and shook it.

"Not much, fifty taels is enough."

"Fifty taels is not much, why don't you grab it! Our shop only opened today, and we haven't earned a penny yet, so where is the money for you. ”

The guy next to him glanced at Lu Geng sympathetically, thinking to himself where the fool came from, isn't this just robbing.

Er Lai Zipestle was in the store, looked around, and sneered, "You can afford to open such a big shop, how can you have no money."

Besides, I didn't ask for much, fifty taels is the rule. In the future, with us covering your shop, no one will dare to come over to make trouble, and you can do business with peace of mind. ”

"What rules, isn't patrolling the streets the responsibility of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, when did the girl change the people, why don't you know? Or are you people pretending to be the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and you are here to cheat money? ”

Er Laizi was waiting for Lu Geng to get him a silver ticket, and when he suddenly heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied in his heart.

Turning his head in a voice, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

And the anger dissipated.

"Who is this girl?"

Shopkeeper Lu frowned and glared at him, "This is the owner of our shop." ”

Er Laizi said with a smile on his face, "It turned out to be the owner." I'm not cheating money, it's the first time a girl has opened a shop, and it's not surprising that she doesn't know the rules. But collecting this money is indeed the rule of this West Street.

If the girl doesn't believe it, you can go out and inquire, but my second son didn't lie to you. ”

Ling Chu naturally didn't inquire, but it was just a group of ruffians who collected protection money in the name of protection.

"This is my shop, it's not your turn to tell me the rules. No money, get out. ”

As soon as Ling Chu's words fell, Er Laizi's face immediately turned cold.

Although this girl is beautiful and fascinates him, she can't let her break the rules.

"You can afford to open such a big shop, and you say that you don't have any money, who believes it? You have to pay this money, and you have to pay it if you don't pay it. The rules of this West Street can't be broken at will. ”

The ruffian behind Er Laizi also coaxed, "Hurry up and get the silver ticket out, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”

Ling Chu was unmoved, "Why are you not polite and smash our shop?" ”

Those ruffians did not deny it, and laughed arrogantly, "It's good to know, and those who know each other should hurry up and give money." ”

Ling Chu's eyebrows were cold, and his voice was light, "I'm sorry, this girl doesn't want to meet today." ”

The ruffians glared in unison.

felt that she had lost face in front of everyone.

Er Laizi is even more calm, if he doesn't suppress this girl today, how can he continue to collect protection money on this street in the future.

He glanced at the person he had brought and motioned for them to move.

As soon as the sleeves of the seven or eight ruffians were flicked, they were ready to smash.

Ling Chu summoned the big shovel and the small hammer first.

It's only been the first day of the shop, so it can't be destroyed.

Little Hammer and Big Shovel decided to work together.

First, he rushed straight towards the leading Erlaizi and smashed him over with a hammer.

While he was holding his legs and rolling on the ground in pain.

The shovel rushed after him, scooped him up, and threw him out of the store.

Er Laizi couldn't help but fly a few feet away, and then slammed into the ground.

Dealing with him, the little hammer immediately rushed towards the stunned ruffians.

Soon, Er Laizi and the people he brought with him were all lying outside holding their legs and howling miserably.

The people of the whole West Street are gloating, and it is really happy that this group of hateful ruffians has finally been cleaned up.

Er Laizi was originally full of confidence, and those shops that were unwilling to pay money in the past, as long as they smashed it, the other party would obediently give money.

This move has always been invincible and has never failed.

Unexpectedly, this time it was kicked to the iron plate.
