Chapter Sixty-Eight: Gangsters in the East City

Dayan has been suffering from various internal and external troubles recently, and there are not a few people who come to the capital to do things to inquire about the news, and the martial arts conference is getting closer and closer, and Chang'an City is becoming more and more lively.

The most lively place in Chang'an City is, of course, the East Market, and the most lively place in the East Market is the East Fence Restaurant.

Although the restaurant has not been opened for a long time, its style is elegant, the dishes are novel and delicious, the wine is fragrant and mellow, and the people are warm and thoughtful, and people will feel at home when they come here.

Moreover, Dongli Restaurant does not distinguish between high and low, and is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.

If you don't have money, you can go to the lobby to find a small table, order a few dishes, steamed buns, a pot of turbid wine, drink yourself, only spend hundreds of dollars, not only to eat, but also to enjoy the performances in the lobby, or listen to the moving stories from the mouth of the storyteller.

If you have a little money, you can find a private room with your friends, order some special dishes, plus the unique spirits of Dongli Restaurant, or order some set meals, all kinds of set menus are dazzling, all have a few common characteristics, that is, the combination is very reasonable, the price is also very affordable, very popular.

If you have a little more money, you can enter the special room, where there are many beautiful poems, beautifully framed, and new works will be created every once in a while.

There are often big people who patronize them, such as the county lord of the Qi Palace, the lord Zheng of the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanlin Academy.

Sometimes the imperial historian Tang Zhifeng will also come here to enjoy the freshly baked masterpieces.

In this way, it is more sought after by literati from all walks of life, whenever there is a new work, you have to invite three or two friends, call a table of exquisite wine and food, drink and chat, and interpret poetry, which is really elegant and tight.

The staff of Dongli Restaurant have a lot of salaries, and Li Wuchang will often give out various benefits, so they are more enthusiastic and hardworking, and the business of Dongli Restaurant is naturally thriving.

Most people know that behind the Dongli Restaurant is the Li Mansion, so no one dares to look for trouble.

There are very few people like Zhang Yanbo who dare to send hooligans to make trouble and send people to poison.

At Zhao Xun's suggestion, Li Wuchang was ready to buy the rogue children near Dongshi to act as eyes and ears, and if there was a situation like Zhang Yanbo who was looking for hooligans to make trouble, these people could also come forward to deal with it.

Zhao Xun personally made a plan to find the biggest scoundrel near Dongshi and cut him down.

After Xue Laosi's death, Fat Bear led others to set up their own doors, specializing in collecting protection fees or smashing the field and other work, there are dozens of people under him, all of whom are blood-lickers, not weak, and very influential in East City.

Last time, it was the fat bear who accepted the benefits of Zhang Jincai, the third housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion, so he didn't know whether he was alive or dead to provoke the Dongli Restaurant, Li Wuchang was not there at that time, and Zhao Xun had to deal with various forces, and he did not investigate it deeply.

It's time to settle accounts.

Zhao Xun knew the fat bear's lair, and directly took Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun to the door.

Fat Bear and his younger brothers were drinking, and found that Li Wuchang and others came to the door, as if they were here to find fault, and before they could ask, Zhao Xun shot directly without saying a word.

Only then did the fat bear know that the comer was not good, and ordered the younger brother to copy the guy and beat the three madmen to death.

At this time, Jiang Minglun joined the battle group, and joined forces with Zhao Xun to beat the fat bear group directly to death, and fell to the ground humming.

At this time, Li Wuchang came to the front of the fat bear and stared at him coldly, and the fat bear knew that the person who came was the fourth son of the Li Mansion, so he quickly kowtowed and admitted his mistake, saying that the last time he went to the Dongli Restaurant to make trouble, he was also put on his neck with a knife, and he was forced to be helpless.

Li Wuchang did not express his position, and let Zhao Xun watch it.

Zhao Xun first kicked the fat bear over, and then gave the fat bear two choices.

First, Fat Bear took his people out of the East City and didn't let anyone see it.

Second, Fat Bear is loyal to Li Wuchang, staying in Dongshi to act as Li Wuchang's eyes and ears, and by the way, he can get a lot of money every month by cleaning up some of the thugs who try to make trouble at Dongli Restaurant or Lu Ji.

After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he looked at the fat bear coldly, Jiang Minglun still had a gloomy face, if the fat bear dared to raise any objections, he would do it immediately.

Li Wuchang sat on the chair, expressionless, waiting for the fat bear to reply.

With such a radish in one hand and a big stick in the other, the fat bear and his subordinates trembled with fright, and swore that they would be willing to follow Li Wuchang in the future, and would never dare to have two hearts.

After the fat bear finished speaking, Li Wuchang got up from the chair, pulled up the fat bear who was kneeling on the ground, showed a smile, and said, "Fat bear, right?"

As he spoke, he took a towel from the table and handed it to the fat bear, motioning for him to wipe the blood from his face.

Seeing that Li Wuchang was so kind, the fat bear was startled, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Little fat bear, I have seen the fourth son." ”

Li Wuchang stared at him and said calmly: "You can make up your mind to follow me, I am very happy, I also heard Zhao Xun say what you want to do just now, I won't repeat it, now I will mention a few points, you all listen." ”

Although the tone was calm, no one dared to underestimate it, and Fat Bear and dozens of his subordinates hurriedly stood up and listened to the instructions.

Li Wuchang nodded and said: "I know that you are a group of scoundrels, specializing in doing bad things, forget it before, don't do this kind of thing in the future, I will pay you every month, you can support your family, and you can also go to the Qinglou once in a while." ”

When Fat Bear and the others heard this, their hearts burst into ecstasy.

None of them have any skills, and they fight to the death with a brute force, just to support their families, and they are naturally very happy when they hear that they can support their families without doing bad things.

Li Wuchang continued: "Your current identity is the security guard of Dongli Restaurant and Lu Ji, responsible for dealing with those guys who don't have long eyes. In addition, we should pay attention to all kinds of gossip, regardless of size, major events in the court, battles in the rivers and lakes, and even all kinds of gossip. ”

This is not difficult for people like Fat Bear.

The fat bear patted his chest and said: "Fourth son, don't worry, inquire about such things as news, our brother is the best, the East Market is prosperous, and people from three religions and nine streams are gathered here, and there is a lot of gossip." ”

After a pause, he asked carefully: "Fourth son, is someone going to Dongli Restaurant or Lu Ji to make trouble, let's all teach a lesson, in case it is which son, then are we?"

Li Wuchang glanced at him and said: "Before you start, ask Lao Chen's shopkeeper first, and he will tell you who can move and who can't, and even if you want to do it, don't make too much noise and affect the operation of the restaurant." ”

The fat bear nodded yes and silently remembered it in his heart.

Li Wuchang's face was solemn, and he said: "In addition, if someone puts a knife on your neck, you can mention my name, but I also want to remind you again, you are now a serious professional person, no longer a little hooligan, if I hear you do those unpopular things again, or directly use my banner to do bad things, the consequences will be very serious." ”

sneered, and continued: "When the time comes, I won't be like today, I will beat you up, I will use the knife directly, understand?"

Fat Xiong and the others felt Li Wuchang's murderous aura, and at the same time struck a spirit, secretly thinking that they should not commit this uncle's taboo in the future.

Zhao Xun took out a silver ticket, handed it to the fat bear, and said: "That's it for today, take these to rub some medicine, and tomorrow take someone to find the shopkeeper Chen of Dongli Restaurant, he will arrange for you, you just listen to him." ”

Li Wuchang was almost there, nodded to Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun, and signaled that he could go.

Watching the three of them leave, the fat bear looked at the silver ticket in his hand and said, "One thousand taels?"

The little brothers also exclaimed.

For Fat Bear and the others, this is a lot of money, and their brothers and more than twenty people have never seen so much money.

In the past, when I was messing with Xue Laosi, Xue Laosi could reward more than ten or twenty taels to be considered the sky.

Later, the fat bear set up his own door and collected protection fees everywhere, and it was almost enough to collect hundreds of taels a month, and most of them were knocked out by the officials who patrolled the streets.

They also took over the work of smashing the field, the income is small, but also dangerous, the real knife money, last time Zhang Jincai sent a few people to take a knife on the neck of the fat bear, let him go to the Dongli Restaurant to make trouble, he sent a few brothers to make trouble, and only after the end of the matter did he receive thirty taels.

This time, after only one fist, he charged a thousand taels of soup and medicine, which made Fat Bear and his gang overjoyed.

The younger brothers immediately began to talk.

"Big brother, it seems that you have really fallen into the eyes of the fourth son, otherwise how could he be so generous. ”

"Yes, big brother, I think we should follow the fourth prince in the future, and maintain the safety of Dongli Restaurant and Lu Ji, and find out the news by the way, how easy it is." ”

"The fourth prince has already promised just now that the money will be calculated on a monthly basis, which is enough for us to support our family, so we don't have to do those things like licking blood. ”

"Moreover, behind the fourth prince is the Commander's Mansion, which is much stronger than Xue Laosi, we follow the fourth prince, and we don't have to be afraid of anyone anymore. ”

"In the past, Xue Laosi was not so generous, and often asked us to do something particularly dangerous, in comparison, this fourth prince is much more generous and kind. ”

"Generosity is certain, but kindness is not necessarily, I accidentally saw his eyes just now, like sharp knives, strange and scary. ”

"That's right, although the fourth prince speaks kindly, but it's definitely not easy to mess with, the two who beat us just now have so high martial arts, they all listen to the fourth son, you can imagine, everyone. ”

"Big brother, what do you want, the brothers listen to you. ”

Listening to the chatter of his subordinates, the fat bear frowned, and drank: "What is the noise, first find a place, exchange the silver tickets, everyone is divided equally, hand them over to the family, and follow me to the Dongli Restaurant tomorrow." ”

There was a cheer from his subordinates.

Fat Bear ordered again: "Did you understand what the fourth prince said just now, I will keep it in my heart silently, in addition, tomorrow will dress me up seriously, Dongli Restaurant is a high-end place, we will be the security guards there in the future, we can't be ashamed." ”

All the subordinates agreed with a bang, and it seems that they are finally living a stable life.
