Chapter 22
Subsequently, Liang San reported to Ye Tianyun about the income and expenditure of Jinhua Street in recent days.
Since they made a big fuss on Cheung Fook Street, in the past few days, the business of Jinhua Street has improved greatly. Just the shops directly under their umbrella can almost increase the income of a month in these days.
One of the most important reasons for this is the closure of many shops on Cheong Fuk Street.
The last time Ye Tianyun sent people to Changfu Street to collect money, but it dealt a big blow to the merchants on Changfu Street. Not only did those merchants lose a lot of money in vain, but they also suffered many casualties as a result. Even Scar, who served as their umbrella, was killed in this fight.
In the final analysis, those merchants are just seeking money, and naturally they don't want to be innocently involved in the disputes of these gangs and become fish in the pond. Therefore, the spontaneous sense of crisis made them choose to close their businesses and close their doors to avoid the limelight for the time being.
Today's Cheung Fook Street, except for some of the industries directly belonging to Dongtang, most of the other shops are closed invariably.
And Jinhua Street, which is next to Changfu Street, has naturally become the biggest beneficiary.
After listening to Liang San's explanation, Ye Tianyun also nodded with satisfaction. It seems that Changfu Street will not be able to slow down for a while.
And at this time, in front of the gate of the hall, a figure walked in, and under the guidance of a small servant, he walked towards Ye Qianyun and others.
"I haven't seen you for many days, Brother Ye, don't come unharmed?"
I saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man, wearing a clean robe and looking graceful while walking, Ye Qianyun turned his head to take a look, and found that the person who came was Yu Zhanlong, the master of the South Hall, Yuan Qian.
"Yo, isn't this Mr. Yuan? Which spring breeze is blowing you?"
Ye Qianyun smiled politely at Yuan Qian, and then turned his face to Liang San and instructed, "Manager Yuan is here, immediately arrange a table of banquet for me, and let me receive this guest well." β
When Yuan Qian heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Brother Ye doesn't need to be polite, Yuan Mou came this time, in fact, he was entrusted by the master, and he has a task on his side, but he has no blessing to enjoy your reception!
Ye Tianyun is not stupid, he naturally knows the truth of not going to the Three Treasures Hall if he has nothing to do.
But he still showed a look of regret and said: "If this is the case, then I have to give up, but next time, Mr. Yuan can't push it back!"
"It must be!" said Yuan Qian with a smile.
"I don't know why Mr. Yuan came here?" Ye Tianyun asked.
Yuan Qian smiled slightly, and said word for word: "Hall Master Yu is invited." β
"Hall Master Yu?"
"Master Yu and Brother Ye have not seen each other for many days, and they are very worried, hoping to have a knee-to-knee conversation with Brother Ye today, and now they have been waiting in the house for a long time. Yuan Qian explained.
When Ye Tianyun heard this, he smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It seems that I have to go to this invitation of yours......"
............
Yu Zhanlong's mansion is about three kilometers away from Jinhua Street, and it only takes a tea cup to reach it by horse-drawn carriage.
At this time, in the lobby of Yufu, Yu Zhanlong was dressed in purple clothes and sat in the first place. Holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, is constantly steaming the vast white steam, if there is someone beside him, he will be very surprised, what kind of deep internal force, can make the tea in the pot boil inexplicably!
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Yu Zhanlong heard it, and immediately slowly put down the teapot in his hand.
"The hosts. Brother Ye has been brought. β
At this time, Yuan Qian walked into the lobby first, and after the confession, Ye Qianyun, who followed closely, stepped in.
"Junior brother Ye Qianyun, meet Master Yu. Hall Master Yu, don't come to harm?" Ye Qianyun bowed slightly to Yu Zhanlong and said respectfully.
Yu Zhanlong, who was in the first place, hummed lightly, and looked at Ye Tianyun's body, looking forward to it, there was actually a posture of not being angry and arrogant.
After pouring the moment, Yu Zhanlong said: "I heard...... During this time, you have gained a lot of momentum on the Tao.
In just a few days, he actually killed and abolished a few of our fellow disciples in the Huya Gang, making himself famous, which is really not prestigious. Even I have to look at you differently. β
Ye Qianyun's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that he had just met, and this Yu Hall Master would treat each other with such an attitude. Where is this posture of inviting yourself to talk to each other?
However, after all, he couldn't figure out the purpose and attitude of Yu Zhanlong's words, and he knew that he was not good at talking nonsense, so he had to say lightly, "Don't dare, don't dare." β
Clinker Yu Zhanlong snorted coldly, his face became grim, and said, "Don't dare? I think you are bold!"
You know that Zhao Tong, Scar and the others are all cronies of our Dongtang Xia Hall Master, although there are occasional frictions between our two halls, but after all, they are the same sect and the same family, whether it is for the sake of the South Hall or for the overall overall situation of the Huya Gang, we should not deteriorate such a relationship.
It's good that you actually lit a fire on this hot oil pot, and in three or two days, the relationship between our two halls in the southeast was so rigid. Do you know you're in trouble?"
Ye Tianyun listened to the stern reprimand of the hall master in front of him, first muttered secretly, and then did not show the slightest shock.
On the contrary, he sneered in his heart. Because he didn't feel the slightest resentment in Yu Zhanlong's eyes.
Obviously, this is just a rhetoric for him to do faΓ§ade work.
Otherwise, as the master of the hall, how could Yu Zhanlong have no way to stop Ye Tianyun's recent behavior?
But even so, Ye Qianyun still didn't directly debunk Yu Zhanlong's thoughts, but smiled lightly and said, "Master Yu is serious. In my opinion, not only did I do all this, but I had to. β
Ye Tianyun explained: "I am personally sent by you to take charge of Jinhua Street, Master Yu, since I have taken over this plate, I naturally have to think about the interests of Jinhua Street."
In the past, Jinhua Street was oppressed by Dongtang, which was a normal scene. But if I let this phenomenon continue after I take over, am I tantamount to a waste of rice?
I believe that if this is the case, the brothers under my command will not believe me at all, and even you, the master of the Yu Hall, will look down on me, right?
Therefore, whether it is for Jinhua Street or for myself, I have to change this humiliating and embarrassing situation, and the way to reverse this situation is to return a tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood!
Since the other party wants to be ruthless to us, I will simply be more ruthless and more ruthless than them!"
After a pause, Ye Tianyun said again: "However, it is clear that my approach has achieved remarkable results. Since I got into such a fuss on Cheong Fook Street, the profits of our industries have increased nearly tenfold compared to before. In just a few days, the profit is already as much as a month as usual.
Maybe my actions are not conducive to the interests of the gang as a whole, but my actions like this have a clear conscience for Nantang, for the Yu Hall Master, and even for myself...... If Hall Master Yu still thinks I'm guilty, I have nothing to say. The hall master can hand me over to the East Hall to dispose of, or directly follow the gang rules. β
Ye Tianyun's words were so sharp that Yu Zhanlong was speechless for a while.
Yu Zhanlong's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, he knew very well in his heart that this kid was defending himself from the bottom of his heart on the surface, but in essence, he was retreating and advancing, and he was pumping him back!
