"Kekeke~"

Early the next morning, before dawn, people were already taking to the streets one after another. Some shops began to fetch water early to wash away the mud and dust in front of their houses.

"Shopkeeper, there was so much noise last night, why does it seem so quiet this morning?"

The clerk from Zhixingtang opened the door and looked around the street. Seeing that there was no movement, he turned around and walked to the counter and whispered to the shopkeeper.

"Go, go, as long as you don't think it's a big deal! Can you watch it if we make some trouble together?"

The shopkeeper glared at the waiter angrily.

The waiter scratched his head and said with a smile: "The harder they beat us, the better our business will be."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his hand and gave the clerk a slap on the head, and cursed: "Hey, you bastard, ours is a pharmacy, not a coffin shop. We make money with conscience, not get rich from dead people."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The waiter was so scolded by the shopkeeper that he couldn't hold his head up, so he quickly nodded and admitted his mistake.

The shopkeeper finished scolding the boy, and after adjusting the abacus a few times, he frowned for a moment. The deficit last month has not been made up, and the deficit this month will probably be even greater. The key is that the camel land every month is too expensive.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper could only call the waiter: "Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to purchase a rhinoceros horn? Go and return the order and replace it with an ox horn."

When the waiter heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that this kind of thing had not happened once or twice.

Then the shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus a few more times, and began to calculate in his mind with a grimace.

Last time the big boss sent a telegram saying that he would send someone with good skills to come and see the show, but it has been two days and no one has been seen. I am afraid that there may be some accident due to the high mountains and rivers along the way.

Thinking of the shopkeeper twirling the beads on the abacus twice and taking out ten silver coins, he thought that it was a good thing and he saved a lot of money.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly broke in from outside the door. When the shopkeeper took a look, his heart skipped a beat and he hurried to greet him: "Brother Shapi, why are you here in person? If you need anything, just let the brothers below know."

The person who enters is called Seshapi, the straw sandals of Qinggang.

He was responsible for collecting the rent in this area, so when the shopkeeper saw this owner, he started to tremble in his heart.

"Stop blabbering, let's get some trauma medicine. Didn't you know there was such a big movement last night, Chixian!"

After Sezapei cursed, he casually sat down on the stool and crossed his legs casually.

The shopkeeper hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them over. Se Shapi took it and lit one, and then continued: "Boss, your rent is almost up this month. Please order it as soon as possible and pay it together!"

"Um...there's still half a month left, right?"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed. It had only been half a month since the last time he paid. If he handed over the money, there was no guarantee that he would collect the money again half a month later.

Lai Shapi glared, tilted his head and looked at the shopkeeper: "I'm going to beat your lungs out, I said pay now, you are deaf, if you dare to make your mother believe it or not, I will kill you!"

"No, no, no, I'm going right now, I'm going right now!"

The shopkeeper was yelled at by Lai Shapi and immediately did not dare to say any more. For fear of irritating the gentleman, he walked to the counter and took out a stack of silver coins and gave them to Lai Shapi along with the gold sore medicine sent by the waiter.

.

Lai Shapi collected the money and took the medicine. Then he stood up with satisfaction and pointed at the shopkeeper: "You know what you're doing, don't be so pushy in the future, idiot!"

The shopkeeper paid the money and delivered the medicine, but instead of receiving any benefit, he was scolded, but at this moment he could only nod and smile.

If this was in Shanghai, who would dare to be so presumptuous, but here is the New Territories, and Zhixingtang's golden signboard, not only does no one buy his face, but in the eyes of these local snakes, he is just a big fat sheep.

Not only does the monthly rent cost more than others, but the place is also used as a free clinic.

The shopkeeper sent the person away with a smile, then walked up to the counter with a dark face, fiddled with the abacus a few times, and slammed the table: "That loser named An, there is no trace of him now, his grandma's

Isn't this a delay? The boss still expects him to escort the following batches. I think it's all in vain. I'll beat up every one of these people I see!"

The waiter was sweeping the floor with his head down. When he heard the shopkeeper's curse, he pretended not to hear it, knowing that the shopkeeper was angry and had no choice but to let it go.

The shopkeeper just cursed a few times when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Get in!"

"Oh!!"

I saw a person rolling in and crawling on the ground. The shopkeeper took a closer look and saw that it was Lai Shapi who had just left.

Before the shopkeeper could understand what was going on, a group of people walked in from outside the door. These people were neatly dressed in black clothes and had axes on their waists. At first glance, they were members of the Yixing Gang.

"The shopkeeper comes out!"

Hearing the roar from the leader, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter.

"Take it, from now on you know your business in Xingtang, and our Yixing Gang will protect it. If anyone dares to come to collect rent, break his legs!"

The visitor took out the money that Lai Shapi had just snatched and put it on the table. He patted the bewildered shopkeeper on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky. My grandpa values ​​you very much."

The shopkeeper looked at the money in his hand and felt flattered, but the visitor took Lai Shapi and left without waiting for him to ask.

Now the shopkeeper started to feel a little unpredictable.

It was not until noon that the shopkeeper came, which was even more confusing. The Qing Gang came again, but they were not looking for trouble, but refunded the money and returned all the rent they had charged him before, and said that they had not known about their relationship with Mr. Du before.

If you have a relationship, I promise not to harass you again in the future.

"Master Du, who is Master Du??"

The shopkeeper became even more confused when he heard this and hurriedly asked.

As a result of asking, I found out that Mr. Du is the new grandpa of the Yixing Gang, and Mr. Du has the final say in the rules of the New Territories from now on.

The shopkeeper was shocked by these words. After they left, he hurriedly asked the waiter to go out and inquire.

When I inquired about it, I found out that just last night, the whole New Territories changed.

The reputation of To Ye of the Yixing Clan has spread throughout the New Territories.

He entered the tea formation alone and forced Hong Sheng Hui, He Sheng He and the Qing Gang to bow their heads at Hong Tai Lou. From then on, Master Du's rules were the rules in the New Territories.

When the guy heard this, he just wondered if he had heard it wrong. Although the Yixing Gang was strong, it was not that strong.

The waiters in the teahouse were well-informed. Seeing that he didn't believe it, they couldn't help but look at him with disdain: "My hands and eyes are all over the sky. Those high-ranking foreigners all want to look at Mr. Du's face. Yesterday, the foreign rifle team moved. They fired with bang bang, but no one was there."

Dare you dissent."

Hearing what the waiter in the teahouse said, everyone also thought of the gunfire they heard yesterday.

When the pharmacy clerk came back and told the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was in a state of panic. He didn't expect that there was such a person in the New Territories.

"Hey, do you know the origin of this Mr. Du?"

The clerk nodded: "I asked and heard that this Mr. Du came to the New Territories just two days ago. His name seems to be... Du... Du Nan'an."

"Du Nan'an..."

The shopkeeper muttered that this person's name sounded familiar to him, but for a while he couldn't remember when he had seen such a person.

After thinking carefully for a long time, the shopkeeper lowered his head and walked to the counter and glanced at the abacus, "Pah!" The shopkeeper suddenly slapped his head: "Oh, it turns out it's him."

The shopkeeper finally remembered this person who was supposed to come to Zhixingtang to calm things down, but he didn't expect that his arrival would turn the entire New Territories upside down.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper quickly put down the money in his hand and called to the waiter: "Stop packing, quickly prepare a big gift and come with me!"

"Hey, shopkeeper, where are we going??"

"Go and see Mr. Du. As I said, the person invited by the boss can't be an ordinary person."

The shopkeeper was very excited and knew that whether his family could establish a firm foothold in the New Territories in the future would all depend on Master Du's mood.

"Grandpa, drink tea!"

A Bin brought the tea cup to Xu Tong. Although he was a member of the Yixing Gang, A Bin knew that all this was given by Mr. Du in front of him. If Mr. Du can give it, he can also take it back.

So in front of Master Du, Abin always had to remind himself not to forget Master Hu's fate.

"In the past, you were free to do whatever you wanted, and I didn't care. But recently, you have left me some news about the New Territories, especially the Japanese people, so I can keep an eye on you for some tricks."

"Japanese people..."

A Bin nodded: "There are many Japanese people in the New Territories, but they are more concentrated in Tsim Sha Tsui, so this matter is easy to handle."

Tsim Sha Tsui is home to most of the Japanese chambers of commerce. These chambers of commerce are very honest and generous in renting anything on weekdays.

So it's not difficult at all to keep an eye on them.

After Xu Tong gave his instructions, he was about to say something when someone walked in and said, "Grandpa, Cai Fu, the shopkeeper of Zhixingtang, is here."

"Oh, it came so soon."

Xu Tong nodded and signaled A Bin to bring them in.

"Oh, Mr. Du, you can make it easy for me to find you. I didn't see you at the dock last time, and I couldn't eat anything in the past two days."

As soon as Cai Fu entered the door and saw Xu Tong sitting on the sofa, he immediately walked forward with his hands crossed and an excited expression.

"Oh, I went the wrong way and got off the boat early!"

Xu Tong stood up and nodded. Although what he said was very true, the smile on his face full of sinisterness also looked particularly fierce.

For a moment, even though Cai Fu was mentally prepared, he felt a little guilty.

As soon as the two of them were seated, Xu Tong said bluntly: "I have been taken care of by the boss of your Zhixingtang. I will remember this favor in my heart. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. I will take care of those who can!"

"

"Yes, yes, thank you Master Du. I feel relieved after your words."
