There have been too many things on his hands recently, and Bailang has only now been able to smooth them out a little bit. At least in his opinion, the killing of Qianfang will stop for the time being.
After all, whether the previous ambush against him was done by people from Lin Dao Pavilion or people from Yuzhong, the loss of seven third- and fourth-grade masters was definitely a heavy loss. And the unfamiliar face means that the killing moves are deliberately hidden. Now that they are all discounted, what is left of them to continue to spend in Qianfang, an important but not crucial place? Or should it be reserved for Twine Alley?
It goes without saying how to choose among them.
Therefore, Bai Lang believes that after the other side recovers from the sudden and fierce counterattack from the knife hall, they will only target the core of the knife hall and the core people in charge of the operation of the knife hall, not him who is in charge of money. Fang is not even a little "minion" who is not even Hongdao.
In other words, the future development of the knife shop is not a matter that Bailang can intervene in. I think those who came to Ma Sheng Alley must have considered these issues, and should have an idea of how to deal with them later.
And if this matter is revealed, it still depends on the reaction of the city lord's palace. Nowadays, the city lord's palace is completely silent, which is very abnormal. But Bai Lang didn't think that Feng Mingyuan, as a person who was willing to try his best on new things like industrial parks, would be indifferent to others trying to interfere in his territory. The fight must be equally fierce in invisible places.
While the fierce battles were taking place overtly and covertly in Yongchuan City, there was also a major event that could not be ignored, and at the same time was incompatible with the killings and calculations: the Hongxiu master's musical performance.
"When we return to the town hall, the reputation of the Red Sleeves is very good in the country, so I heard that Shuanghualou spread the invitations widely, and all the prominent people in the city have received them. And they don't seem to refuse. Our knife studio here Same thing."
"You're all going?" Bai Lang frowned slightly.
Originally, Bailang had no interest in this so-called piano performance held in Fengyue. He doesn't understand Qin, he doesn't pursue "kissing everyone", and he doesn't have much time. But now he found that this performance seemed to have a different meaning in such an urgent situation in Yongchuan City.
For example, testing the depth?
Another example is it used for sniping or raiding specific targets?
"Can there be room for so many people in the Shuanghua Building?" Bailang has been to the Shuanghua Building. Although it is gorgeously decorated and has towering pavilions, it has to accommodate all the prominent people in Yongchuan City, including those who are attracted by its fame. With so many wealthy businessmen and officials coming, this may not be enough.
"I heard that an invitation can only accommodate one person and one attendant. Shuanghua Building has used all the corridors in the building and has set up terrace seats. It should be able to accommodate so many people, right?"
"Only one person is allowed?" Bai Lang was suddenly confused. He opened the invitation in his hand and read it again. There was such a "reminder" in the back corner. Only two people can enter with one invitation.
After thinking about it, Bai Lang opened his mouth and said to Zhang Wu and Wang Bing who were in the public room: "Which one of you is willing to accompany me?" At the same time, he raised the invitation card in his hand.
As soon as Bai Lang finished speaking, Wang Bing took a step forward and said, "My subordinate is willing to accompany Zhentang!"
Bai Lang looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "You don't want to go?"
Based on Bailang's understanding of these two people, they were both very interested in going to Hualou. Everyone talks about the red sleeves even more. It makes no sense that Wang Bing opened his mouth, but Zhang Wu remained indifferent?
"Hey, Zhentang, I have discussed it with Wang Bing before. I will give him the opportunity to follow Zhentang this time. Afterwards, he invites me to go to Hualou to play with the card sister, so I won't argue with him. .”
Bailang leaned back, confused by the two guys in front of him, and he didn't know how to speak.
After a while, Bai Lang pointed at Zhang Wu and Wang Bing and said speechlessly: "Okay, you can just discuss it. The date of the banquet is tomorrow night. You two can arrange your own time and things at hand."
"Don't worry, town hall. All the brothers under my command will be concentrated in Funnel Alley tomorrow night. Nothing will happen."
After arranging things, Bailang did not stay in the public house anymore, and left Funnel Alley and went to the East City Gate. Following him were two waist knives from Qianfang.
The East City Gate is still the same, with people coming and going, but there are a lot of gangsters wandering around the streets. When seeing ordinary passers-by, he always shakes his arms and looks fiercely and provocatively, as if he is eager to find some trouble to kill the boring time. But when they see people in the knife shop, they lower their heads and get out of the way.
"Fat dog!"
"Ouch! Brother Bai!"
Across the street, Bai Lang said hello, and a man who was squatting by the wall and whispering something immediately turned his head and looked over. After recognizing Bai Lang, he trotted to Bai Lang's side, hunched over and smiling broadly. pulpy. Especially the shout of "Brother Bai" was extremely loud, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.
"How's business lately?" Bai Lang stood on the street, smiling and leading the other party to sit down at a tea stall not far away.
"Hey, what kind of business do I have to do? But thanks to the large-scale construction in the east, the houses in Dongcheng have become more and more popular recently. Brother Bai doesn't know, but the townhouse you used to live in is now rented The prices have almost doubled. Better houses have also increased by 30 to 40%.”
Bai Lang smiled and said, "Then you must have made a lot of money during this period. Do you still have a house? I'm going to choose one with a small courtyard, the kind I live in now."
"Brother Bai, are you hoarding or staying?"
"Of course we'll live there. What's there to stock up on in the house?" When Bai Lang said this, he glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth, as if he recalled some bad memory. In another world, there is also a group of people who hoard houses, and they are not considered good people.
The house is for living in, so stock up!
Naturally, Fat Dog would not know the complaints deep in Bailang's memory. He thought about it carefully and said: "Brother Bai, your request is not difficult. In fact, there is a house for sale near your home. It's just that the price is much higher than before. After all, the street over there is It’s quiet and not far from the Mongolian School. It’s also close to the East Market and the medical center.”
"Okay, don't worry about it. Just tell me how much it will cost. It's best to have a house that doesn't require too much arrangement and can be lived in with a little tidying up."
"I won't charge you a brokerage fee. A house owned by my brother is worth two gold and ten silver. I'll cut some more for you, and it's two gold!"
"Can it be any less?"
Fat Dog shook his head and said carefully: "Normally, there is no way to reduce the price. This is the seller's bottom line. He will not sell it if he keeps it low, and it will not be in line with the market. But if Brother Bai has other ways, that's not the case. You can’t try it.”
Bailang shook his head. He understood what Fat Dog said, but he wouldn't do that.
Although it is true that the people in the knife hall are not good people, including Bai Lang. But Bailang would disdain someone who wanted to do such evil. Most people in the knife shop would disdain this kind of behavior and would think it was a low price.
