"How is it? Do you learn like it?" Zhou Shi asked with a smile.
The two strong men reacted immediately. The grandson turned his army around and said that we were dogs. They immediately raised their fists and tried to call him out.
Zhou Shi sideways dodged a punch, and with some luck, he slapped a strong man on the abdomen, and then slapped another strong man on the face with his backhand.
He did not use the monument-opening hand, fearing that it would be difficult to deal with the loss of life, but his casual blow was enough to make the two strong men lose their ability to resist in an instant.
"Ah, ah..."
The strong man who was hit in the abdomen fell to the ground in pain, his eyes turned white, and he fainted. The strong man who was slapped covered his cheek and looked at the humble young man in front of him in horror.
"Go back and tell the person in charge that I will beat his dog first. If he doesn't see me, I will tear down his dog house!"
The strong man crawled on the ground and entered the house to report the news. It took a long time before he came back.
"The boss said, please go in and talk..."
Zhou Shi didn't look at him, stepped over the one lying on the ground, and strode inside.
This room looks like a guild hall built out of a chamber of commerce. It is quite spacious inside and has three floors, but all three floors have been opened up, turning it into a small palace.
Twenty or thirty shirtless men stood next to a fat bald man, staring fiercely at the uninvited guest.
"Wait a minute."
A six-foot-tall man with a dragon tattoo on his shoulder blocked Zhou Shi's path like a mountain.
"Who are you? No matter who you are, you will be searched when you see the boss."
Zhou Shi ignored him and just raised his foot forward, directly hitting the body of the shoulder dragon.
He felt the opponent's body as strong as an iron wall, but he had no intention of stopping at all, and he pushed the Overshoulder Dragon forward!
The cross-shouldered dragon was horrified, and he hurriedly took a lunge, trying to stop Zhou Shi's steps, but found that he was still sliding backwards uncontrollably!
The onlookers on both sides were very surprised. This man who looked a little thin could push the shoulder dragon effortlessly? What kind of strange power is this!
Zhou Shi's line of sight was blocked, so he just moved forward. The minions watching on both sides also moved, trying to stop him from approaching the bald head.
"Don't even do anything! Hero, maybe you can declare your name?"
Zhou Shi suddenly retreated backwards, exerting all his strength to push forward the Scapulosaurus, losing its support and falling to the ground.
"Fengdelou Zhou Shi, I have met the master."
He cupped his hands and bowed politely to the bald head.
"Mr. Zhou is really good at martial arts, but why do you want to hurt my people?"
"The two gatekeepers didn't even look at me and wouldn't let me see the master. Naturally, I had to teach them a lesson for the master."
The bald man leaned back, knowing that this was the step the other party gave him, so he didn't pursue it further.
"Aaron, please step aside first. What do you want Mr. Zhou to do with me?"
"My man was captured by your men, I'm here to take him back."
The bald head gave instructions to the left and right, and a minion left immediately, seemingly to pick up someone.
"Mr. Zhou, as you can see, my subordinates are all rough people, and you don't remember the faults of villains."
The bald man said with a smile, "My surname is Du, and my family is of the fifth rank. My brothers on the river praised me and called me Du Wu Ye. Now I am running the Qinglong Gang in Jiangdu, providing convenience for merchant ships, making friends all over the world, and doing business together.
.Excuse me, where will Mr. Zhou settle down?"
Zhou Shi held up his hand and said without any emotion: "Go back to Fifth Master, I am the shopkeeper of Fengde Building."
"Fengde Building? That's a famous building in Jiangdu. I'm disrespectful." The smile on Mr. Du Wu's face did not diminish. "Mr. Zhou shows his talents and his skills are good. He must be...ah, your people are here." p>
The two minions walked to Du Wu with Agui who was tied up.
There were no injuries on Agui's face, but he looked very weak. He must have received a good beating. Moreover, the rope was tied too tightly and he was a little out of breath.
Zhou Shi resisted the urge to rush forward, pointed at Agui and asked: "Fifth Master, what's going on?"
Du Wuye scolded: "You slanderous idiots, this is the boss of Zhou Da, why don't you let me go!"
After Agui was released, he swayed on the spot twice, but still shook off the man who tried to hold him up.
"The shopkeeper..."
Zhou Shi fisted Mr. Du Wu again and said, "Master Wu, we are new here, we don't understand the rules, and we bumped into your gang. I apologize to you.
"But my man was beaten, and there must be an explanation for this matter."
"Oh, no problem." Du Wuye smiled and waved his hand, "As long as this guy tells who hit him, I will leave that person to you."
Kick the ball back to Zhou Shi and the others.
Seeing that no one was stopping him, Agui limped to the shopkeeper and whispered: "Shopkeeper, the Qinglong Gang is too powerful in Jiangdu and we can't afford to offend him. We should all take a step back."
After he finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I was confused at the time and couldn't remember which brother I had a fight with, so I just assumed that the brothers and I had a duel."
Du Wuye clapped his hands and said: "As expected of Shopkeeper Zhou, it's so nice! But..."
The smile on his face instantly faded, and his tone became cold: "You are hawking on my territory, have I given my permission?"
Zhou Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and said: "We have already received permission from the dock chief, why do we need your gang's approval?"
The minions around started laughing as if they heard some big joke.
Mr. Du Wu, who just pretended to be under strict rule, did not stop them from laughing.
"Master Zhou, our Qinglong Gang has more than 300 people waiting to eat. If the vendors at the pier refuse to pay, what will you let the brothers eat? We deal with gangsters at the pier and river pirates on the river.
Bandit, you can’t work in vain, right?”
Their method of dealing with gangsters is to become gangsters themselves, and then recruit other gangsters into their ranks. River pirates and boat bandits are almost all Du Wuye's trusted brothers.
"We will not make things difficult for anyone. After all, only by being friendly can we make money. As long as you pay 20% of your income, the best stall in the C berth will be yours."
The dock clerk will take 10% off, and Mr. Du Wu will take another 20%. It will take Fengde Tower years and months to pay off the debt!
"Twenty percent, okay."
"Okay! Shuangli!" Mr. Du Wu clasped his hands and smiled, "I just love doing business with Shuangli people."
"But the premise is that you please apologize to Agui."
The surroundings were quiet for a moment. Agui pulled Zhou Shi's sleeve and said softly: "No..."
"Since Agui can't tell who hit him, I have no choice but to ask the leader for an explanation. Mr. Du Wu, please apologize to Agui now."
Master Du Wu slowly closed his hands, and the minions around him also moved towards the two people surrounded in the center.
Zhou Shi put his hand on the iron abacus and had already thought of a way to deal with them.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, I haven't been in such a difficult position for a long time."
As soon as Mr. Du Wu spoke, the minions stopped moving instantly.
"Otherwise, Mr. Agui said just now that we should have just competed with the brothers. Then we might as well compete again. Ahu!"
A strong man with a general belly walked out from the crowd, with long hair tied into a whip and hanging down behind his head.
His round belly was covered with scars, obviously the marks left by many births and deaths.
"Please have Shopkeeper Zhou compete with Ah Hu, and I'll give you a chance - as long as Shopkeeper Zhou wins, your people can hawk at the pier from now on, and we won't charge a penny. How about that?"
Zhou Shi looked at Ahu carefully from head to toe.
"I don't have the huge shoulder strength just now. Even if I am a Lianjiazi, I can't deal with it...and I can be exempted from paying protection fees. The conditions are very attractive..."
Zhou Shi nodded and said, "Please enlighten me."
The minions immediately retreated to make way for the two people who were about to duel.
"Shopkeeper, you..."
"Agui, take care of my abacus."
Mr. Du Wu waved his men to bring the cigarette rod, and he sat on the chair and started smoking comfortably.
"Well, you're not allowed to copy the guy, you're not allowed to flirt with him, or you're not allowed to go in the eyes. It doesn't look good in a fight, and you're not allowed to run away, and——"
He exhaled a puff of smoke and said:
"Life or death is determined by fate."
It’s begun! Zhou Shi stood sideways and observed the actions on the other side.
His knowledge of martial arts was limited to the movies he watched in his previous life, so he didn't put on any pretense because he would be seen through at a glance anyway.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I touch a palm, I will win."
Zhou Shiyun got angry, and after weighing Ah Hu's physique in his mind, he decided not to use the opener, but to use enough internal strength to make him fall to the ground in an instant.
With a kick of his feet, he quickly ran towards Ah Hu, aiming at his stomach which was easy to target——
However, Ahu had no intention of fighting.
"Dang——"
Zhou Shi poured all his inner strength into his palm and slapped Ahu on the stomach, making a sound like ringing a bell!
His belly is as hard as iron!
"Why, it's gone?"
Ahu raised his hand and slapped Zhou Shi on the face.
