Since Li Ling, the commander of the guard, founded the "Qiling Holy Sect" (Qilin Holy Sect) with Xia Qiping, he married Chen Shuixin, the daughter of his neighbor Langzhong, and began a journey of saving money for the Holy Sect.

If the Qi Ling Holy Sect wants to develop and grow, it will not work without the support of money. Where does the money come from, it comes from the market formed by the popularity of Lanniu dance performances.

He and Xia Qiping obtained the logistics support and security management of the Lanniu dance performance venue through the struggle for their master Liu Yunyu, and began to monopolize the peripheral business.

Charging admission fees to small traders and hawkers who enter the venue; hoarding low-priced lower-class tickets, and then doubling the low-priced lower-class tickets after the high-priced higher-priced tickets are sold; handling some matters of compensation for injuries caused by brawls, and even the price of claims for medical expenses are set by Li Ling's wife, Chen Shuixin, and so on.

Except for the regular ticket income, which is all obtained by the Lan Niu actors, the other peripheral income is basically received by Li Ling and them.

Of course, these things above cannot be handled by Li Ling as an official, they are all handled by the four hall masters of the sun, moon and stars as an underworld intermediary, and set the rules.

This whole process quickly formed an underground chain that firmly controlled the profits.

It is no wonder that the relatives of Liu Yunyu, who is the master of the dance performance planner, are so jealous and red-eyed, and have asked Liu Yunyu many times to take back control of this rich monetary return.

Liu Yunyu didn't want to, but it was not enough to just say to Zhao County Commander that he would send Li Ling out, he still had to wait for the "black and white double evil" and "** Second Elder" invited by Zhao County Commander to arrive quickly, and he could rely on them to resist Xia Qiping and Li Ling's military advantage, otherwise just relying on Li Ling's absence would not be effective in the end, because Li Ling's four gangster friends of the sun, moon and stars still firmly grasped the real power of the underworld intermediary.

Although the undercurrent is told so darkly, the dance performance venue of Lan Niu and Zhou Jingbo on the surface is still prosperous, lively, peaceful and normal, and ordinary people are only happy and safe to see the beautiful dance performances, and they can't feel these aspects at all.

And as long as it is prosperous, lively, peaceful and normal. Zhao Wenli County Master did not intervene in this area.

With the guards patrolling everywhere to maintain order, although he has not been able to really calm down and feel the dance of Lan Niu and Zhou Jingbo, Li Ling's heart is still full of fiery energy. He profoundly understood that if you have money, you will have real power, and if you have money, you can buy people's hearts.

Li Ling patrolled to the vendor selling sugar gourd skewers.

He noticed a scene.

There were two large men, one tall and thin, the other fat, and one was carrying a string of sugar gourds on the pedestal's pole. Stuff the sugar gourd skewers into your mouth and curse in your mouth.

Two big men went to buy sugar gourd skewers, and they ate them directly without paying attention to the image under the condition of staring at so many pairs of eyes, which was already quite awkward, and it also made Li Ling feel very strange.

Listening carefully, I heard the taller and thinner say: "The ticket is really expensive, and it will cost ten taels of silver to get closer to the stage!"

The fat one said, "Let you bring more money, I won't." Now it's gone, but it's okay, I can't afford to buy sugar gourds!"

The thinner man said to the vendor, "Two sugar gourd skewers on credit!" I'll give it to you next time!"

The merchant was dissatisfied with their domineering behavior, and said, "Who do I know about you two?

The thinner man said, "We don't have any money! But you see, we've already eaten your sugar gourd? What else can you do? Annoy us, we'll stab you!"

The vendor didn't fight with them, but when he saw that the guards were right next to him, he handed over the problem to the guards after paying the protection fee, and replied, "It just so happens that the military master is here, let me call the shots!"

Li Ling looked at the two big men who had no money and wanted to eat small sugar gourd skewers. It feels weird.

He took out a few copper plates, waved his hand, and said, "I'll invite them to eat!"

The vendor said, "Then you two are lucky, thank the military master!"

The two men bowed their heads. With a bulging sugar gourd in his mouth, he whined and nodded his head in thanks!

Li Ling was puzzled, and always felt that something was wrong with these two people, and said, "I invite you two to eat, you two always have to report your names, right?"

The two men didn't answer. Bending his head, he was about to slip away.

The two or three guards led by Li Ling's entourage stopped them and said, "What about the two of you, are you so unwilling to save face and leave a name?"

The fat man puffed out his mouth vaguely and said, "It's really unlucky, I bought a high-priced ticket, and I can't even watch the performance." ”

The thinner man suddenly spit the sugar gourd in his mouth onto the guard, shouting, "Hide, what are you hesitating about!"

He ran to the left, and the fatter one ran away suddenly to the right, catching Li Ling and them off guard.

Li Ling shouted, "Take it for me!"

The guards also shouted: "Chase!"

But the two of them were very good at escaping, and they were very skilled in escaping through the crowd, and they were about to escape.

At the instigation, the two figures struck into two like lightning bolts and shot at the two escapees.

Li Ling fixed his eyes and saw that the fat man was grabbed by the thunder roll of one of Jiang Zheng's Ten Tigers, who appeared out of thin air, and the thin man was caught by Xia Qiping, and they were all caught in the middle.

It turned out that the two of them happened to be looking for Li Ling to come here, and happened to bump into two problematic people who were being chased.

Xia Qiping stopped Li Ling's "Xia...", which was about to shout, and asked, "Why are you arresting these two people?"

Lei Juan said contemptuously: "Needless to say, sneaky and empty-hearted to run away, he is definitely not a good person!"

At this time, one of the guards carefully looked at their faces and woke up: "They are the felons who escaped from the prison last time, the thinner one is Wei Duo, and the fatter one is Ge Fan!"

Li Ling said: "Tie it up!"

Lei Juan saw that the two had been arrested, so he stopped mixing in this matter and said, "You guys are busy." I'm going to buy them candy gourds and snacks! I'll see you at the seats!"

Xia Qiping said: "Please! Thank you General Lei for helping!"

Seeing that he was handed over to Li Ling by the thunder scroll, the fat Ge Fan begged for mercy in a low voice: "We didn't do anything bad when we came out, let us two go, and we will give you gold and silver." ”

Li Ling smiled: "You two don't even have the money to eat sugar gourds, and you still want to give us gold and silver?"

Thin Weido said: "They don't believe it. Hide it and it won't rot right away. ”

Fat Ge said angrily: "If you don't come to eat sugar gourds, you just can't control your mouth." We really have. Besides, as long as you let us go, we will be grateful to you and see you as a new parent. Then what else do you want, we can help you get it. We're notoriously trustworthy and do what we say!"

Li Ling said: "Where did you put the silver taels?"

At this time, several of his guards are very good at coming. hurriedly said: "Commander of the guard, you and the training commander of the Xia regiment will judge slowly, and we will go to patrol and patrol the side again!" After speaking, he pulled his legs and avoided it.

Fat Ge Fan said: "There are too many people to score, but fortunately they avoided it." We hid the silver taels in the Liao Zhong Valley. We can take you there. But please let us both go!"

Li Ling and Xia Qiping were taken aback. They glanced at each other and asked in unison, "Liao Zhonggu?" The place where there had been killings and the death of many brothers was a place that did not want to make many memories, and it was actually mentioned by two felons on this occasion.

Fat Ge Fan said: "Yes." Now it's a quiet place. No one dared to go. ”

Xia Qiping's mind turned, he thought for a while in his mind, and asked, "Is it that if we let you two go, you will be grateful to us and listen to us?"

Slender Wei Duo said: "Anyway, my brothers don't have anything to do, you talk about it, if it's not troublesome." Listen to you, and listen to you. ”

Xia Qiping said to Li Ling'er: "Look, we also need manpower, why don't we let them come in too?"

Li Ling said: "These two people are not at ease!"

Fat Ge Fan said: "Don't worry, what's not to worry about! My brothers and sisters recently want to abandon evil (hunger) and promote goodness, change their minds, be new people, and turn back as a prodigal son!"

Xia Qiping said: "This military master and I have just established a sect and are in the stage of starting a business, so you two are willing to join." A few more people count as a few! The prosperity of the church is indispensable to the benefits of the two of you! And it can also protect the safety of both of you!"

Li Ling also took advantage of this to think about it, and felt that he couldn't be too picky about the personnel now, and let them join if he could, the big deal was just that he was a new teacher who had not been inspected. Just have less contact with them, and say, "You two think about it!"

Slender Wei Duo said: "You really have such a strong martial power to ensure that we will not be arrested and imprisoned again?"

Fat Ge Fan interjected: "Wei Duo, you seem to be much more unproductive than me at this time!

Thin Wei Duo gave a roll of his eyes, nodded happily, and said, "I promise!

Fat Ge Fan was puzzled: "What did you promise to do so soon? Don't you think about it? Don't you be reserved?"

Skinny Vedo reminded, "Think again. Will you ever have the chance to see Lan Niu and Zhou Jingbo's dance performance tonight? Won't the high-priced tickets be wasted?"

When Fat Ge Fan heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, and said: "Agree to join!" The sect leader, the sect name, and the canons slowly teach my brothers, the performance is about to start, can you see the performance first?"

Xia Qiping took out his knife and did it with lightning speed. A big "×" was drawn on the back of their hands, stopping the spilled blood, and said lightly: "Gather here after watching the performance." If I can't find you both, you're dead. ”

The two of them were shocked and turned pale and said, "Definitely assemble! Xia Sect Master!"

Li Ling nodded and said, "It's Sect Master Qi, and I am your Sect Leader Ling." Our sect is a double leader, regardless of the principal and vice. Listening to them, I feel that it is a good choice to make Liao Zhonggu the place where our Holy Sect is located!

Xia Qiping said: "Yes, I thought of going together, the location is at the junction of the town and county, and it is a good location." We'll go and set up an altar there in a few days. It has flourished there ever since!"

There was already movement on the dance stage in the distance, and the performance seemed to start immediately, Xia Qiping said: "You two go, you can't delay watching this performance." Sect Leader Ling, let's continue to perform our official duties!"
