Mangkhut City is surrounded by mountains, the environment is beautiful, the center of the county is a stone bridge, there is a small river below, the river water is crystal clear, only one foot deep. The river flows through the city, down from the high mountains to the east, through the city, and disappears into the Junling Mountains and forests to the west.

Master Liu walked on the bridge with Yu Huacheng and said:

"This river is called Yuxi River, which runs through the city, and is said to be the leyline of Mangkhut Castle, and no one in the city is allowed to throw garbage into this river, wash clothes, catch fish in the water, and will definitely be fined a lot of money. and even expelled from Mangkhut Castle.

This stone bridge is the Jade Bridge, and after crossing this bridge, it is the Jade Bridge Street. With the Yuxi River as the boundary, these three streets in the south are your territory, which starts from the Yuxi River in the north, reaches Gulang Street in the south, reaches the purple bamboo forest outside the city in the west, and reaches the edge of the horse market in the east, this is your territory. In addition to the Yuqiao Street site in the city, there are also three villages and towns outside the city, Majiazhai, Lijiagang, and Zhaojiatun, which are also under your jurisdiction.

There is a free market on this site, which mainly exchanges and auctions the precious goods found in the 100,000 mountains. There are thirteen hotels, thirty-four shops, seven hotels, two rice shops, one coffin shop, and the largest rouge building in the city is also on this site. It is because of the existence of this rouge building that this site is the most prosperous and the most troublesome. ”

When Yu Zecheng heard this, he took out five taels of silver, handed it over, and said:

"Please also ask Liu Ye to talk about it in detail, Zecheng came out at first glance, and asked Liu Ye for advice. ”

Liu Huzi put away the silver tattoo and said:

"This rouge building is the best restaurant, green building, hotel, casino in the city, you see, the west of the building is, from there to the outside of the city purple bamboo forest is all people's industry, and in the purple bamboo forest here there is a small man-made lake, can be said to be wonderful.

This is a restaurant directly under the Shi family, which is mainly used for negotiations between the Shi family and passing merchants and visitors from the mountains. All the high rollers who come out of the mountains and the caravans that enter the mountains will come here to spend a lot of money, which is actually the Bajie Shi family. It can be said that the income of this rouge building is the entire income of half of the merchants in Mangkhut City. Do you think this place can not be prosperous? Can it not be troublesome?

But this is nothing to you, it is Shi Tianlong, the thirty-third generation disciple of the Shi family who controls the Rouge Building, it is said that our hall can invite the master of Bai Shaomen and their brothers to help each other, it is the relationship between the master of the hall and the master of the Ma hall to ask him, so the master of Bai Shaomen must have explained, Shi Tianlong will definitely not be embarrassed for you.

Let's go there to worship the mountain first, and after getting Shi Tianlong's approval, it can be said that you have firmly controlled this street. At the beginning of each month, you have to collect money on this street, this is a fixed amount, and the younger brother will tell you the specific number at that time.

But one thing to pay attention to, rouge building also to collect, although how much we said we don't count, but this is the rule, absolutely can not be broken, remember no matter what store, you have to pay, if you don't pay the money, you will bleed, you will die, this is our way of survival, the final bottom line must not be broken.

But as long as he approves of you, he will definitely hand it over, Fang Zheng gave it to us in the front hand, and we have to give it to them in the back.

Half of the silver we collect every month has to be handed over to the government, which is actually the Shi family, and to a certain extent, we are the tax collectors of the Tang Kingdom. The rest of the money is your income, except for the fixed silver handed over to the rudder. I'm just going to talk about this briefly, and I'll talk to you in detail later, by the way, do you have a master? It's better to leave such a tedious matter to the master. ”

Yu Zecheng replied:

"I've hired my father's good friend Gao Feng and he'll be here tomorrow. ”

Liu Huzi nodded and said:

"Nicknamed the peak of oil in the stone? haha, my brother is really a hero and a young man. Since you have this heart, I will support you, but you have to be careful of Tan Erlang, he sees that you can do immortal arts, and he will not confront you head-on, and small means will emerge one after another. ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Zecheng immediately understood Liu Huzi's mentality, Tan Erlang at the banquet respected Shi Tianyun, but he didn't care about Liu Huzi, and when Shi Tianyun was old, he handed over the position of helmsman, if Tan Erlang took the position, then Liu Huzi's position as the master would definitely be deprived, and there would be absolutely no good end, so he would show favor to himself.

Yu Zecheng immediately said:

"Thank you Liu Ye for your advice, if there is anything Liu Ye commands, I am absolutely good. ”

刘beard子 says:

"Okay, happy. ”

While talking to each other, they came to the door of the Rouge Building, the main building of the Rouge Building is a three-story stone building, this is just the gatehouse, and the back courtyard is the real gold cave. It is a gatehouse is also rich and noble, magnificent, the outer wall of the pillar of the stone building is carved with Spring and Autumn myths, ancient legends, beauties, chivalrous, beasts, heroes carved lifelikely, it is really extraordinary. The red carpet in front of the Rouge Building is paved, and at first glance, it exudes a sense of wealth.

In front of the door, there are eighteen clever servants, who take care of the horses and carry the luggage for the guests. There are also six ushers who receive guests, who can speak well, even if they are dressed in rags, the guests are very enthusiastic, and they are treated equally, and let them into the building.

When Liu Huzi arrived here, he immediately came to greet him:

"Liu Ye is here, please come inside, Xiaocui wants to kill you, there is a new batch of daughter red inside, it is a twenty-year-old wine produced by Muguo Tianxing Building, it is definitely delicious." ”

Liu Huzi waved his hand and said:

"Wait, I'm on business this time. This is the new deacon of our Shihu rudder, Yu Zecheng, the leader of Yuqiao Street, and now we have come to worship the mountain gate. ”

After speaking, he took out a post and solemnly handed it to the welcomer. The welcome was no longer laughing, took it with both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll let you know right away. ”

After speaking, he turned around and entered the Rouge Building. Liu Huzi and Yu Zecheng were waiting outside, and the time was not much, and immediately there was a loud laugh inside, and a group of people walked in the distance.

Liu Huzi said in a low voice:

"It's done, that's Shi Tianlong, in the past, the Wild Wolf Gang changed the deacon and was just a steward's reception, it seems that the elder brother really has face, Shi Tianlong actually came in person. ”

The people on the opposite side walked out, and one of them was about forty years old, tall and mighty, like a big man like a man and bear, it was Shi Tianlong. He walked to Yu Zecheng's side, hugged Yu Zecheng in his arms, and then said:

"When my brother Bai left, he specially instructed me to take good care of Brother Yu, and today is finally here, okay, he is really a hero out of a young man. ”

After speaking, he let go, and Yu Zecheng saluted:

"Senior ......"

石天龙 says:

"What senior, I am Brother Bai's eldest brother, that is, your eldest brother, call eldest brother. ”

余Zecheng says:

"Hello big brother, little brother is coming to the ramp for the first time, please support me. ”

石天龙 says:

"What's polite, I see you fall in love, remember that you are my brother, everyone listens to me, this is my brother, if anyone provokes him in this Mangkhut City, it will provoke me, and I will split him.

Liu Huzi, you go back and tell Tan Lao Er that if he does something to my brother, I will abolish his legs and make him disabled. ”

These words were very loud, resounding throughout the street, criticizing Tan Erlang mercilessly, and showing his support for Yu Zecheng vividly. Although Yu Zecheng knew that he was actually doing this for the sake of Bai Hexi's face, in the face of such enthusiastic support, there was still a warm current in his heart. This is an opportunity, and you must seize it and take advantage of it.

Yu Zecheng also shouted loudly:

"Okay, I recognize you as an elder brother, if anyone provokes you in the future, I will abolish him as well. ”

Yu Zecheng took the opportunity to act and made a heroic oath, which is equivalent to the two of them making an oath and making an alliance, which can be regarded as completely biting and nailing Shi Tianlong's words to death, and not giving him a chance to repent.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and no one took what the little kid said seriously, but they forgot a word, don't bully the poor boy.

Shi Tianlong was stunned, he took a closer look at Yu Zecheng, then smiled and said:

"Okay, good intentions, it's really a hero out of a teenager. Let's go in and have three drinks. ”

After speaking, he pulled Yu Zecheng into the Rouge Building, Liu Huzi smiled, and followed in. Under the leadership of Shi Tianlong, everyone walked through several splendid lanes and walked into the depths of the Rouge Building.

After walking for a while, through a rockery, suddenly a lake appeared in front of me, which was the size of an acre, and in the distance was the purple bamboo forest outside the city.

There is such a lake in this group of mountains, the lake is not big, but the Yuxi River flows through this lake, the lake is living water, and there are countless swimming fish in it, all of which are a kind of strange koi. There are some lotus lotus roots on the surface of the lake, they reflect the scenery of the lake, like a fairyland, there is a two-storey wooden building in the center of the lake, standing on the water surface, carved railings and jade masonry, there is a faint sound of the piano coming, the scenery of this fairyland, suddenly let Yu Zecheng be stunned.

石天龙 says:

"That's right, brother, this is the highest-grade Tianya Building in our Rouge Building. ”

After speaking, he walked towards the water, stood on the surface of the lake, and walked towards the building in the center. Yu Zecheng was taken aback, took a closer look, and found that there was a pontoon bridge under his feet, which was level with the water, and walking on the pontoon bridge was like walking on the water.

Yu Zecheng followed, and they walked on the pontoon bridge like immortals, crossing the lotus lotus root field and entering the water pavilion.

When he walked to the pavilion, Yu Zecheng deliberately watched and found that there was a marble pedestal under the pavilion, not floating on the water.

Walking into the pavilion, the decoration in the building is simply suffocating, the wall is even inlaid with gold leaf, ancient jade, countless famous calligraphy and paintings are arranged in a row, and the layout is reasonable, which makes people extremely comfortable.

At this time, two beauties approached, they were elegant in makeup, beautiful as flowers, and there was no silver air of a Qinglou woman at all, the two of them knelt beside Yu Zecheng, one handed over a hot hand towel, and one changed shoes for Yu Zecheng.

Yu Zecheng didn't show any cramped and uneasy performance, and accepted it calmly, completely ignoring the beauty of these two women. I couldn't tell at all that he was a fourteen-year-old boy.

This scene was seen by Shi Tianlong and Liu Huzi, Shi Tianlong frowned, turned his head and glared at a subordinate, in the investigation of his subordinates, this Yu Zecheng is just an ordinary teenager, his family is poor, he can make a good soup, I don't know how to meet Bai He Xi, and become good friends.

But now Yu Zecheng has a hint of youth, and he is completely an old and incomparably old Jianghu guest.
