Since he had roughly guessed the purpose of Li Shishui going down the mountain, Feng Bing didn't say hello, turned around and left.

The others were also surprised, and then discussed it, and indeed they couldn't guess the reason, so they also dispersed.

Li Feng's judgment was indeed correct, just by chance encountering a messenger who went up the mountain, they actually guessed Li Shishui's task. If they knew what he said to Li Shishui, he might not be able to hide what he asked Li Shishui to do. I don't know how many waves will be made in them, let alone let Li Shishui know.

Since Li Shishui went down the mountain, he has traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and wherever he goes. This time there is no one to supervise, and there is so much time, Li Shishui can be regarded as having fun. Along the way, I also did a few things that were uneven and chivalrous, and I also got to know a few chivalrous people.

However, remembering the master's repeated instructions, Li Shishui did not dare to delay too much, and finally came to Jiangnan today. However, the few friends he met on the road had different purposes from him, and after separating from them in the morning, Li Shishui continued to rush towards the Qian family alone.

After a while, a tea shop appeared at the intersection ahead. happened to be a little thirsty, so Li Shishui stopped and asked for a pot of tea. The tea is not very good, but it is just right to quench your thirst. This tea shop was built at the intersection of three intersections, where most pedestrians would stop, so the business in the tea shop was good.

After drinking tea, Li Shishui was about to settle the bill and leave, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves at the intersection on the left. Li Shishui was going to ask the boss to settle the bill, but he happened to see the boss with a frightened look on his face when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and even the shopkeeper who greeted the guests hid in the store. The faces of some of the customers in the store are also a little unnatural.

Li Shishui rolled his eyes, poured another cup of tea, and continued to drink.

The sound of horses' hooves has not abated, but when they reached the door of the tea shop, there was an emergency stop, raising a puff of dust, and the dust drifted directly down the door into the house. The guests at the table sitting at the door were caught off guard, choked on the dust, and coughed. Li Shishui was also a little close to the door, and couldn't help frowning, covering his mouth and nose with his hands.

After a while, a man swaggered in. The people who came were dressed in green, and the fabric of the clothes looked very good, but the clothes were dressed in fancy and nondescript. As soon as the man in green entered the door, he looked at the guests who were choking on the dust defiantly, and his face was excited.

Naturally, some of the choked guests were also grumpy, and they were about to slap the table and stand up, when seven or eight more people came in from the door. The seven or eight people were uniformly dressed, with a symbol that looked like a shark on the right arm of their clothes.

Of the seven or eight people, only the leader walked to the level of the man in green, and the others stopped behind them. When the tea guests saw so many people coming, they were a little timid, and then carefully saw the sign on their right arm, and hurriedly lowered their heads honestly to drink tea.

The man in green looked around defiantly, but none of the tea customers dared to stand up, only the young man in white dared to look up at them. However, it was a little far away, and the young man in white was still covering his mouth and nose, so he couldn't see the face of the young man in white.

The man in green was a little deflated, as if no one dared to stir up trouble, and he was still unhappy. The man in green walked directly to a table and said to the original tea guest at that table, "Get out!"

Naturally, the tea guests didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't even give the tea money, so they fled directly from the door. For a while, a timid person also sneaked out, and in a short time, more than half of the tea guests in the house were gone.

But the boss and the shopkeeper didn't seem to see it, and they didn't dare to ask the tea guests to pay.

"What about the shopkeeper? Why don't you have tea? Shopkeeper, are you still in business?" The man in green had just sat down, and seeing that no one had come to greet him, he reached out and threw the original tea set on the table on the ground, and shouted.

The shopkeeper didn't know where to hide, but the shopkeeper trembled and came out with a new pot of tea, put it on the table, and said, "Please drink tea." ”

The man in green took a sip of tea, and as soon as he drank it in his mouth, he spit it out. Because the shopkeeper stood relatively close, most of the clothes were directly wetted, and the shopkeeper did not dare to move.

"What kind of broken tea? is it drunk by people?" said the man in green as he looked at the shopkeeper and frowned.

The shopkeeper could only stand next to him and said with a smile: "The tea leaves are rough, and it is naturally difficult to enter the master's mouth." ”

The man in green was about to have a seizure, but his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Old man Zhang, it seems that your tea shop has been doing a good business in the past two days." ”

The man in green obviously knows the shopkeeper, and it seems that this is not the first time he has come.

"Big/Great, small business, small business. The shopkeeper laughed.

"Isn't it time to hand over the insurance?" said the man in green.

The shopkeeper's face changed: "Didn't you pay the insurance/protection/fee last time?"

"Last time was last time, this time is this time. The man in green said.

"But... Can... I just handed it in three days ago. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.

The green-clothed man's face changed, and he said sharply: "What, you are doing business in the Shark Gang's sphere of influence, the Shark Gang keeps you safe, shouldn't you charge you a little protection?"

"It should be, it should be. The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and then said: "In the past, the insurance/protection/fee was paid on the first day of January, and this month was paid early." Three days ago, it was already the second time of the month, and if it is handed in again, it will be three times this month. ”

"Recently, there have been a lot of idle people here, and the Shark Gang has sent a lot of people to protect your safety, and the cost is naturally a little bigger. It's all for you, of course you have to pay more. The man in green said casually.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to go to the counter and put the entire drawer containing the money on the table, and said, "This is the tea money for the past few days, and it's all here." ”

The man in green took a look at it, and threw the drawer out, and the copper coins in the drawer were scattered around the room. Then the man in green raised his foot and kicked the shopkeeper, who could not withstand it, and fell to the ground at once.

The man in green did not let go, stood up and reached out to take out a whip from his bosom and hit the shopkeeper on his body. While fighting, he shouted: "Just this money, will you send Hanako, don't you teach you a lesson, you should be a messenger to talk..."

The man in green scolded while beating, and the shopkeeper couldn't hide, so he could only hold his head and beg for mercy, saying, "Big / Lord spare your life." Last time you took all the money, and this is really all the money from the tea shop. ”

The guests at the few tables who had not left the tea shop saw that the man in green was unreasonable, and said that they would beat him, and wanted to stop the man in green, but they didn't dare.

The shopkeeper begged for mercy again and again, but the man in green obviously didn't care, and when he waved his hand and wanted to fight, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. When the man in green saw it, it turned out to be the leader who came in together. The man in green was furious and said, "Shark Xi, what are you doing?"

"Last time, I did take all the money from the tea shop, and the shopkeeper should really have no money. Shark Xi looked at the shopkeeper who was beaten, and was a little unbearable.

"Hmph, if you can't pay the money, you will be beaten. ”

"But he really has no money. ”

"If he doesn't have money, he won't borrow, he won't steal, he won't rob. You used to be too kind to them, and you had to make them remember to be too kind of people who couldn't pay the money. Let go of me!" shouted the man in green.

"But what is the difference between you and the robbers, isn't the reputation of our Shark Gang ruined?" said Shark Xi angrily.

"Shark Xi!" The man in green couldn't help but say angrily when he saw that he couldn't break free of his hand: "Your gang leader sent you to follow this messenger to let you protect me, and everything must be ordered by me, not by you to order me." Are you going to disobey your helper's orders?"

Shark Xi hesitated for a while, and finally could only sigh helplessly and let go of his hand.

The man in green smiled contemptuously, raised his arm and was about to continue pumping, only to hear a "whoop". But it was the man in green who threw the whip out himself, and was clutching his wrist and shouting.

Along with the whip fell a copper coin. It was this copper coin that hit the man in green on the wrist that kept his whip from being drawn.

"Who is it, dare to plot against this messenger, don't die!" shouted the man in green, scanning the room with a few people.

None of the people who were seen dared to look at the man in green, only the young man in white who was found by the man in green as soon as he entered the door stood up and walked towards him.

"It's you!" the man in green suddenly identified the young man in white.

"Since the shopkeeper is begging for a living in your sphere of influence and is protected by you, it is understandable to collect some protection/protection/fees. But how can there be anything like you, who has been collected again and again, and whipped arbitrarily if you can't hand it over. This is not only unreasonable, it is obviously the behavior of a bully. The young man in white said as he walked over and helped the shopkeeper up.

"Thank you, thank you, young man. But the young man should leave this matter alone, and hurry up. "The shopkeeper is quite kind, and he doesn't want to involve the young man in white in this right and wrong.

The young man in white is Li Shishui who came to drink tea.

Although Li Shishui has very little experience in the rivers and lakes, he also knows that since you are begging for a life under this force and are protected by this force, you always have to pay some protection/protection/fee either openly or secretly.

Even if this force takes you in a few times a month and forces you to be unable to live, there is no way but to blame yourself for not being able to recognize people clearly, either find a way to make it up, or leave this place.

So although the man in green is very evil, Li Shishui didn't plan to care about it at first. After all, you are in charge this time, and when you leave, what will he do next time?

However, the man in green obviously didn't want to give people a way to live today, or he didn't care at all. The shopkeeper is already old, and he may lose half his life after a few whips, and if he has no money for healing...

At first, someone stopped them from seeing that they were together, Li Shishui thought that the matter would pass like this, but then the person who stopped them gave up again. Although he was too far away to fully hear their conversation, Li Shishui probably knew that he shouldn't be able to stop the man in green.

So when the man in green wanted to whip again, Li Shishui finally couldn't help but make a move, using the copper coins that were spilled from the shopkeeper's drawer just now. Although he may not be able to help the shopkeeper next time, at least this time he will save the shopkeeper's life.

After Li Shishui helped the shopkeeper up, seeing that the shopkeeper was kind enough to help him get rid of this right and wrong, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's late." ”

Before the words fell, I heard the man in green shout: "You kid dare to meddle in things, and dare to plot against this messenger, take your life!"
