"Zhentang!"
"Yeah. Why are there so many new faces in the place these days?"
Bailang would wander around the venue after dinner as usual. He found that there were many strangers coming into the venue to make money in the past few days, and all of them were very generous. Many of them even had local people from Yongchuan City around them. Rich businessmen brought them to play.
"Don't you know, Zhentang? Everyone in Hongxiu has entered the city today and will be resting in the city for a month. It seems that there will also be a few piano performances held in Shuanghua Tower. Many wealthy businessmen or officials in the surrounding cities will get it. News, so some came over in advance and waited.”
It's not that Bailang hasn't heard the news, it's just that he didn't care at all before. In his impression, the so-called "everyone" was just an actor playing the piano, adding at most two programs and one more thing to talk about. He didn't expect such a big battle now. It's just an ordinary scholar and young master, why are those wealthy businessmen chasing after him? Is it really that charming?
"Looking at you like this, you also want to listen to the piano?" Bai Lang laughed and shook his head to tease his brothers.
Most of the recent tests on combined attack techniques have passed. A few people rely on their connections behind their backs and try hard to get through. As a result, Bailang didn't bother them at all, and was labeled as a "rebellious". Although three swords and six holes were not enough, in the end Bailang cut off an ear with his own hands and kicked him out of Qianfang.
Faced with Bailang's strength, no one in Qianfang could leave without Liu She. For the time being, Bailang said it was whatever it was. Outside the Qianfang, the red knives who participated in Bailang's money-making game had long been secretly helping Bailang, and the matter was suppressed before it even got into trouble. At most, they can be replaced by sending someone to the Qianfang again. I'll leave you with face. If you don't listen to me next time and dare not take Bailangyang's advice seriously, your ears will be cut off again.
So now all the players in the field have a different understanding of Bailang than before.
In the past, I just thought Bailang had potential and was ruthless. Now I know that Bailang is not only ruthless but also capable of running around in the knife shop. No one can protect the people he wants to touch.
It was fear before, now it is fear.
The people in the knife shop may not listen to you when you reason with them, and they may even laugh at you because you only know how to talk. So direct action is the most convincing, and everyone can listen.
"Hey, Zhentang, I don't understand Qin, but I know how to look at the figure! It is said that not only do the red sleeves have a unique appearance, but their figure is also stunning. Even if they sing from a distance, they can make a man squirt. !”
Snapped! As soon as this guy finished speaking, Bailang hit him hard on the back of the head. You can still listen to what was said in the front, but it was just nonsense in the back.
"Zhentang, I heard that not only the Red Sleeves arrived today, but also a large ship docked in the morning, and the Lord of the City was seen personally picking up the ship."
"Oh? Who picked up?"
"I don't know. The two people I picked up were a middle-aged man and a young man, both dressed as scholars. Zhentang, do you think some important figures from somewhere are also here to listen to Hong Xiu's piano performance?"
Bailang shook his head in disbelief.
Big shot? The person who can make Feng Mingyuan go to the dock to greet him in person must be a big shot. But it’s not for the woman playing the piano, so that’s hard to say. Bailang prefers "no".
After all, the current major events in Yongchuan City are by no means just a few piano performances. The matter of the big shot who died before is over! In Liu Xu's words, it means that the matter is not over yet, and the conclusion can only be drawn after the higher-ups send people down. I don’t know how many people will die during this period.
"Could it be that the "people sent from above" whom Mr. Liu mentioned before have arrived in Yongchuan City?"
In fact, Bai Lang also had speculations about that man's death. He was 80% sure that it was the female ghost Lingyu who did it. But he couldn't help, so he could only hope that Lingyu had escaped.
Thinking about things in my mind, I walked around the place and then returned to the public house, preparing to deal with some accounting issues related to water money. As a result, not long after he sat down, he was interrupted by Zhang Wu who came in from outside.
"Zhentang, Master Chen is here!"
"Oh? Go to the first wing, I'll be right away!"
Chen Qilu, the person Bailang remembers in his heart. Before he was taken to prison, Liu Xu followed Master Chen's path. Otherwise, if he had taken the last shot too slowly, Bai Lang might have been left with a scar on his face that would never heal with a whip from Zhang Liang.
When it comes to kindness, Bailang is grateful. Even though Chen Qilu originally gave this love out of Liu Xu's face, he was the one who benefited.
"Zhentang, along with Master Chen is Hu Xia, the owner of Hengshun Car and Horse Racing."
"Huh? Got it. You can go down and say hello first."
"My subordinate understands!"
After Zhang Wu went out, Bai Lang smiled, and then packed up the accounting documents on the table. There was no delay, and after leaving the public house, he went straight to the largest wing on the far left of the place.
"Master Chen! Master, please don't be surprised if Bailang misses the greeting from afar!" Bailang stood at the door and bowed, then walked towards the house with his hands clasped. The smile on his face was very friendly, especially when Chen Qilu also stood up, Bailang took two steps closer and didn't let Chen Qilu come out.
"Bai Zhentang, it's been a while since we last saw each other, and your style is even better than before!" Chen Qilu enjoyed Bai Lang's respect. This not only made his face bright, but also allowed him to distinguish the sincerity in Bai Lang's eyes. That was out of previous gratitude, and Chen Qilu knew it very well. While chatting, I became a little more confident about the purpose of today's trip.
There was a table in the side room, but no table official was arranged to come in. Bai Lang can tell clearly from today's situation that the other party is not here to make money.
"This is Hu Xia, the owner of Hengshun Horse Racing Shop. Does Bai Zhentang know him?" Chen Qilu didn't say much and introduced Bai Lang with a smile.
"We know each other. Boss Hu was eyeing my business on the new wharf and wanted to buy it. After he failed, he tried to trick me and hurt several of my guys. He almost ruined my business. But later, Boss Hu The methods are just like that. I have the will to do something, but I don’t have many tricks that I can sustain. Now I am helping Boss Hu clear the place. It happens that I need a coachman over there, and I was worried about where to recruit him. Hehe. "
As Bailang said this, he looked at the fat man sitting next to him in luxurious clothes with a half-smile.
"Ouch! Bai Zhentang's words are serious! They are absolutely serious! I have offended Mr. Hu a lot before because of his ignorance. Fortunately, it is not too late to regret. So today I beg Master Chen to make peace. I will admit defeat and ask Bai Zhentang I ended this matter with a noble hand."
Hu Xia didn't make any excuses. When he was rejected when he visited Zhou Zhonghao before, he knew that he had made a complete mistake this time and acted too hastily. In the next two days, as he expected, Bailang continued to deal with the threats to the horse and carriage drivers who settled in Dongcheng. Most of the drivers who had been warned did not dare to go out, let alone go to work. The power of the knife shop on the street is no joke. Everyone is stupid, let alone these coachmen who are just making a living?
At roll call last night, the number of drivers at Hengshun Carriage and Horse Racing Co., Ltd. was 1.5% less than when they were at full capacity! How many days has it been? Dare you let Bai Lang continue?
So Hu Xia asked someone to find a relationship, and finally found Chen Qilu.
Bailang ignored Hu Xia and looked at Chen Qilu.
Chen Qilu smiled and said: "Bai Zhentang, you are asking for money, and it is not a life-or-death feud. Since Boss Hu has admitted defeat, you might as well draw a line and see if you can settle Liang Zi. Harmony brings wealth, right?"
