There are rules in a business. Without rules, there would be no circle.

But there is a line that has no rules, and its square and circle is the result.

In order to spend the rest of his life in peace, Ma Jingqian made great determination and agreed to Yingyue's request.

That Liusha knife has never been used to chop wood since then.

Wrapped in red cloth, only Baiyi knew that what was hanging on the roof was a promise.

The life of the two gradually got better. Sometimes Jingqian just missed those brothers, and every passing moment was like a dream.

The place where the two brothers went most hunting in the mountains was probably Mincheng, where the people were relatively wealthy. Since winter came early, fur coats in particular could be sold at a good price.

After the heavy snow the night before, when we moved to the city, it started to drizzle again.

Next to the abandoned mill in the south of the city is an alleyway, where the lower class people exchange business, called Lazi Road.

The dazzling array of fabrics sold best here, and what attracted the two of them to set up a stall here is that they are very easy-going and will not argue with you because your goods are the same.

But the bad side is that there are people from Wu Shetang who come to cause trouble. They often have dozens of people armed with knives and axes to collect protection fees.

The two brothers have been here for almost half a year, and they are already familiar with everything here.

Jinggan Yanyan, he had long observed that the twenty-six-seven-year-old man named Long Xihe in Wushetang had a good nature, so the two of them would be an exception to the half-monthly protection fee.

Over time, the relationship with Long Xihe became half-friend, and he would help them settle some small matters.

But such good times did not last long, and things changed again on this rainy day.

Wushetang tightened its control over Mincheng, and Lazi Daoli also changed a lot. It used to be that everyone only needed to pay ten copper coins for half a month, but now it is divided into 30 and 70.

When we received this news, everyone was very distressed. If our small business adopts this method, life will not be easy in the future.

Sheng'erwa, who often likes to hang out at stalls to chat because there is no business, came again today. After seeing the goods displayed by the two, she held her chin and pretended to be profound and provoked.

"Tsk, tsk, this way of putting it is going to be a big loss. It's cloudy today, so just take out half of it, don't take out so much."

Normally, the two brothers never have the habit of being half-hearted and half-hearted, and most of the people around them know that, but this leftover child just said something like this today.

In an instant, Ma Baiyi's face changed color. Such a lazy young man couldn't control his mouth. He put his hand on Zuo Erwa's shoulder and pressed it heavily, as if he wanted to ask what happened.

"Hey, you two have been setting up a stall for so long. You've only been here for a dozen days and you're just picking this and that. Have you never set up a stall before?"

This leftover boy usually likes to talk to you about his family and his family, but today he deliberately kept it secret, "Brother Baiyi, brother Jinggan, don't you know about this?"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

The two brothers looked confused, guessing that this boy was playing some dirty trick.

After arousing the interest of the two of them, the leftover child took a bite of half a piece of steamed bun, glanced at both ends of the alley and said, "Let me tell you, it will be difficult to do business here in the future. Cock!"

"Tch! I thought it was something serious. You've been doing it for a long time and you can't make any money yourself but you're jealous of others getting rich."

"What I said is true!" Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Shan'erwa opened her eyes wide and swallowed the buns in her mouth, "From now on, 30% of our Lazidao business will be given to Wu. Snake Hall!”

"Guixin! Then why don't you eat?"

Ma Baiyi knew that she would spend more time here than Sheng'erwa, and besides, people like Sheng'erwa who were neither good nor bad could not be trusted.

But no one in Mincheng dared to say such nonsense. If people from Wu She Tang heard it, they would be in trouble.

"Believe it or not, Jinlan Street, where the rich shopkeepers used to live, is now being smoked even harder than us!"

If such a thing is true, then speaking in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed will definitely attract attention. Ma Jingqian immediately pushed Sheng'erwa away with a cold face, "You need to tie the mouth of the wolf that kills you today." Donkey halter, please stay aside!"

Ma Jingqian was always kind to others, but this kind of push made Sheng'erwa completely confused. While cursing silently in his heart, he threw the coat hanging on his shoulders with a dejected look and cursed: "Treat your good intentions to donkey liver." Children's lungs, the bigger they are, the more they will be harvested. If you don't listen to me telling you to be less arrogant, you are just counting the balls!"

Whether it's a kind word or a specific provocation, such things happen all the time in Lazidao, but people are used to hearing it and don't take it seriously.

"What happened?"

"It seems like a new announcement has come out?"

"Which company issued the announcement?"

"Who else could it be but the Dragon King?"

In Mincheng, a real "three-nothing" zone, the government offices seemed to be in vain. According to rumors from outside, the county magistrates were also members of the Dragon King.

The citizens are always one step behind in receiving the news, but now I'm afraid that the news about Zeng Erba will come true.

A whole section of people dropped what they were doing to see what was going on.

"Jinggan, how about you guard the stall and I go take a look?"

"Forget it, brother, you still have to guard me!"

When she thought that she was illiterate, Baiyi compromised.

As soon as Ma Jingqian followed the others out of the way, he encountered something appalling. There seemed to be a fishy smell in the brand new notice, the smell of blood.

The content is as follows:

Since the opening of the market in Zilazi Road, it has always been rich and prosperous. Now, the North Alley of the new city has been transformed into a prosperous city, and the foundation of Mincheng is still firm. Therefore, collecting the profits of all the business stores on Lazi Road at a 30-70 share is to contribute to the future of Mincheng. If the demand for expansion is ignored, those who ignore orders will be punished as speculation!

When he saw such an announcement, Ma Jingqian's heart felt like a huge stone. Now his daily profit was only enough to sustain his life. If three points were removed, it would be a loss-making business.

But all this seems to be related to Xiongzhen. Why is Beixiang, a prosperous middle and low-alley area, classified as Xiongzhen at this moment? Could it be...

Alas, forget it, don’t ask about Jianghu matters!

Even though things are said in this way, it is not that easy to erase them from the bottom of one's heart. At this moment, more than a dozen people came to Lazi Road. They were all young people, wearing short black linen clothes and full of energy.

The leader was not Long Xihe. He suppressed all the discussions as soon as he came.

"Everyone, from today on, I will be in charge of the business here in Lazidao. My name is Qiao Zixiao. You can call me Manager Qiao, or you can call me brother Zixiao!"

It turns out that this is one of the four major thugs of Wu Shetang. Rumor has it that he is an out-and-out gangster, and the other three who are among the four major thugs with him are much inferior.

What made Qiao Zixiao truly famous in Mincheng must start from last winter.

At that time, the Dragon King's Wu She Tang was developing its power in secret, and Qiao Zixiao, as a personal thug, eliminated some difficult local bullies within three days, and the famous Fenghua Theater in Mincheng also benefited.
