Although he was slapped more than a dozen times and stabbed by His Highness, Fourth Master Liu, who often boasted that he had been in the world for many years, was a master who could take things and let them go.
Not to mention that Zhao Kang asked him to be the fourth of the Thirteen Taibao, but Zhao Kang told him to go to Xizhimen in the inner city to pay the money tomorrow.
Liu Quan also realized that the identities of Zhao Kang and others were not simple, because those who could own real estate in the inner city were definitely not ordinary people.
Not to mention anything else, I would just say that I have been living in the outer city for more than 20 years and have transformed from a small gangster into the current Mr. Liu. Not to mention my family fortune is one to twenty thousand taels more.
But first you want to live in the inner city?
Don’t even think about it!
That place was either owned by officials or wealthy merchants, and it was not something he could get involved with.
Thinking about it, Liu Quan became very excited. He bandaged the wound casually and then limped up to Zhao Kang and others and rubbed his hands. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
After being the boss for so many years and suddenly becoming someone else's younger brother, there has to be a process of adaptation, right?
Zhao Kang saw that he had something to say, so he said casually: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Liu Quan then said: "Well, you see, I have to know who I am following, right?"
Zhao Kang and His Highness the Prince looked at each other and smiled, this guy is not stupid at all.
Pointing at His Highness the Prince, Zhao Kang said: "This is the boss of our Thirteen Taibao. With him protecting us, you can walk around the imperial capital, why don't you call me brother?"
Not to mention that a man is capable of bending and stretching. After hearing what Zhao Kang said, Liu Quan called the prince crisply "big brother" without saying a word.
Xiao Xuance was very pleased: "Yes, yes, from now on you will follow Lao Zhao's instructions and follow me, but there is one condition. If you let me know what you do to oppress the people again, I will kill you three times and six times!"
This was the vocabulary that Zhao Kang gave him. Liu Quan was stunned: "What do you mean three swords and six holes?"
"One knife pierces both sides, so there are only two holes?" Brother Diao smiled sinisterly.
Liu Quan suddenly trembled, swallowed and kept saying that he understood.
After becoming the new boss, Liu Quan thought about whether he should show off, so he said: "Brother, do you want to sit on my property for a while and find some beautiful girls for you to give you massages?"
"Your territory?" Zhao Kang smiled half-heartedly.
Liu Quan immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing and quickly made up for it: "No, no, it's the boss's territory."
"Okay, just those vulgar people like you in the grass nest can't stand the eyes of our boss. Remember to pay the money tomorrow!"
Zhao Kang said casually and left with His Highness the Prince.
Looking at the group of people leaving, Huang San from Liuquan walked over cautiously: "Fourth Master, are we just going to follow them?"
"if not?"
Liu Quan snorted coldly: "They are obviously from the inner city, and maybe they have official status. What can we use to fight them?"
"Yeah, that guy named Brother Diao, maybe he came from the army, he's too scary." A younger brother said with lingering fear.
Clearly impressed.
"Don't make random guesses. If it's really what I think, maybe this time it will be a blessing rather than a curse. Maybe your career is right around the corner."
Liu Quan said something and asked someone to help him limp away, muttering in his heart, the fourth of the Thirteen Taibao?
It sounds good too.
…
"Damn, today is really fun!"
Returning to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Xiao Xuance's face flushed with excitement: "Old Zhao, have you seen that so many people will be my younger brothers from now on!"
"Where have you come from? Are you satisfied after just starting out?" Zhao Kang hit His Highness with a disdainful smile.
"Is everything difficult at the beginning? Don't tell me, being the boss is really exciting."
Xiao Xuance let out a hey, then thought of something and said quickly: "Old Zhao, you have already let me go out just now. I only have five coins per person, but I don't have that much money."
"Do you know what the purpose of being in society is?" Zhao Kang had a headache. He originally thought that this guy had some brains, but it turned out that he was still a novice.
"For what?" Xiao Xuance said stupidly.
Zhao Kang: "Of course it's just to make money! Otherwise, who can afford to fight and kill in the arena?"
"I really haven't thought about this." His Royal Highness scratched his head in embarrassment.
Zhao Kangdao: "You don't need to worry about money. When the time comes, I will think of ways to plan for you. The house I originally built in Xizhimen will be your residence from now on. You can just go back to the palace from time to time."
, I will arrange some maids for you then."
"This relationship is great. I've long been tired of living in the East Palace!" Xiao Xuance laughed, leaving Zhao Kang speechless.
It's really strange that this man doesn't care about something that no one can ask for.
Nothing happened all night until dawn.
Zhao Kang and Xiao Xuance came to the house early, and Brother Diao brought Liu Quan, who had just become the Thirteen Taibao.
Without further ado, Liu Quan handed over the revenue he had accumulated over the years. Zhao Kang took a look at it without much interest and estimated that it was only one to twenty thousand taels.
However, Xiao Xuance's eyes lit up. He had no choice. Although he was a prince, his daily expenses were always controlled by Her Majesty the Empress. The economy was very tight.
As a result, before he could collect the money, the banknote was put into Zhao Kang's arms.
It's hard to complain about Zhao Kang when Liu Quan is with His Highness, but Liu Quan is more thoughtful.
Sure enough, this guy is the real owner of these Thirteen Taibos.
"Sit down, Liu Quan, let me ask you, how many gangs are there in the Nanhuang Gate that you don't want to deal with?"
Speaking of this, Liu Quan became interested, and after careful consideration of his words, he said: "There are quite a few, there are many gangsters in the shallow water in the outer city, and there are four or five small gangs gathered in the Nanhuangmen area alone.
"
"We usually have a small dozen every three days and a big dozen every five days. It's nothing new."
Xiao Xuance was stunned: "The people from the Military and Horse Division just don't care?"
Liu Quan said: "Boss didn't know he was here. Our fights were all outside the city. We can just pay the Military and Horse Division some money afterwards."
"At the beginning of the month, I fought twice with the Jin Yan Gang and the Erlong Club, and I lost a lot of brothers."
Zhao Kang suddenly had a plan in his mind: "When you go back, find a few people to show off and say you are injured."
Liu Quan was stunned: "What are you doing?"
"Nonsense, if these gangs don't deal with you, how can they not seize the opportunity when you are injured? In two months, our Thirteen Taibao will wipe out all the forces in the outer city."
Liu Quan's face was full of shock. This is too crazy! To wipe out all the forces in the outer city in two months, how many people would have been killed or injured!
Zhao Kang turned the tea bowl: "How many tortoises are there in shallow water? Let them see what it means to not be a dragon but to cross the river."
Liu Quan said cautiously: "What about the Military and Horse Division?"
"I will go say hello. You don't have to worry about other things. Just follow our boss and have a good time." Zhao Kang chuckled.
Liu Quan was sure in his heart that this mother must have an official background, and her level was definitely not low!
