Chapter 6
Not far forward.

Lu Si suddenly saw a person squatting in a corner, hugging a small table, lying on it and writing quickly, surrounded by several people.

Lu Si was curious, stepped forward to have a look, and couldn't help laughing.

But he saw that the man was holding the nib in his hand, and the writing was exactly what he was talking about today, "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and there were books of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" beside him.

Seeing this, Lu Si didn't know that it was a pirated version.

This can't help but make him a little speechless, he never thought that there would be pirated copies in this world so soon.

Indeed, where there is demand, there is supply.

Lu Si felt emotional in his heart.

Looking at the man writing furiously, he asked.

"My man, I don't know how to sell this 'Snow Mountain Flying Fox'?"

Without raising his head, the man said: "Forty Wen a book, absolutely guaranteed authenticity, first pay the money and then get the book."

That's pretty smooth.

Lu Si smiled, threw down forty cents, took a copy and opened it to check.

I saw that there were quite a lot of content on it, but most of it was patchwork. It seems that this man didn't listen to everything, and even if he did, he might not be able to remember it, so he could only fill it out randomly.

In addition, there are many typos and traces of scribbles, which made Lu Si shake his head, no wonder it only sold for forty coins.

But thinking about it, it's not bad, after all, it is enough for most people to watch it.

However, when the books in the bookstore come out, the business here will probably plummet. Lu Si looked at this man and couldn't help but show a trace of sympathy.

After putting down the book, Lu Si didn't continue to stroll, but walked towards the inn.

As soon as he returned to the inn, Lu Si realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

I saw in the inn, at some point, there were a few more men in black clothes, with a black tiger embroidered on them, and they were sitting in the inn, eating and drinking, as if there was no one else around.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this Fulai Inn to be able to do this."

"No, this dish is really not bad."

"Hey, the more prosperous this Fulai Inn is, the better it is for both of us, isn't it?"

"Of course! But it all depends on Brother Zhang's good management, otherwise, how could this Fulai Inn be where it is today?"

As they talked, the few suddenly complimented one of the men with a swollen face.

Hearing this, the man burst out laughing, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with this.

This person's name is Zhang San, and he is a member of the Black Tiger Gang.

The Black Tiger Gang is the number one gang in Qing'an County, and its leader, Peng Feihu, is well-known and powerful. It is said that he is not inferior to Bai Luanxiong of the Yuanwei Escort.

There are also five masters in the gang, known as the "Five Tigers on the Mountain", and their strength is also extraordinary, so no one in Qing'an County would dare to provoke them.

On the side, Zhou Yu and his buddy stood beside him, looking angry, but dared not speak out.

"what happened?"

Seeing a few people, Lu Si frowned slightly.

"Master, you are back."

When Zhou Yu saw Lu Si, his face relaxed, and he ran over quickly, whispering.

"Master, they are members of the Black Tiger Gang, and they are here to ask for their salary."

Black Tiger Gang?
Want a new post?

When Lu Si heard it, she immediately understood what was going on.

After traveling for half a month, how could he not know the name of the Black Tiger Gang.

As for the so-called salary subsidy, it is the fee that the Black Tiger Gang collects from each family every month in the name of salary subsidy.

It is said to be a salary subsidy, but it is actually nothing more than a protection fee.

But even so, no one dared not to hand in, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Although in Qing'an County, the Black Tiger Gang dare not do anything excessive even though they have the courage, but there are a hundred ways behind the scenes to make it hard for you.

Besides, the money is not too much, so everyone should buy peace.

Therefore, even the government turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, not wanting to cause any trouble.

Now that it's almost winter, it's time to pay the salary.

Lu Si understood what was going on and nodded slightly.

"Leave this matter to me."

Walking forward, Lu Si smiled at them and said, "It turned out to be some friends from the Black Tiger Gang. I don't know what wind blows them here."

Lu Si's attitude was quite polite, after all, he had just traveled here not long ago, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

Besides, the inn has just started to improve, once he offends the Black Tiger Gang, it will not do him any good.

But he can still afford some silver taels.

"I heard that Mr. Lu's reputation is not small these days, it's impressive."

Zhang San glanced at Lu Si, and said with a smile on his face.

"It's all your love, it's not a reputation."

Lu Si smiled lightly.

Zhang San turned his head and looked around, hehe said with a smile.

"Mr. Lu's business is so good recently, I'm afraid he made a fortune."

Lu Si's eyes flickered slightly, and he laughed out loud: "Zhou Yu, go and get 30 taels of silver!"

"Okay, sir."

Zhou Yu nodded quickly, and immediately took out 30 taels of silver from behind the counter and handed it to Lu Si.

Lu Si took it, and handed the silver tael to the other party: "Brothers, I invite you, a small gesture is not a respect."

This surprised Zhang Sansan, and he looked at Lu Si meaningfully.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so polite after not seeing you for so many days."

Lu Si smiled lightly, and naturally knew what the other party meant.

Before the time travel, this predecessor was very stubborn, consciously reading the books of sages, how could he give the other party a salary.

But after another severe beating, he became more honest and obediently paid his salary.

But since then, the inn's business has plummeted, and it may not be because of the Black Tiger Gang's manipulation.

Although Lu Si knew it well, he didn't intend to avenge his predecessor because of the soul piercing.

"It seems that Mr. Lu is thinking about it, which really makes Zhang look at him with admiration."

Seeing that Lu Si was silent, Zhang San smiled playfully.

"However, Mr. Lu will give this little money, I'm afraid he is sending a beggar!"

Zhang San shook the silver in his hand, his face suddenly changed.

Clap!
He put the silver upside down on the table, and looked at Lu Si with a grin.

The rest of the people were also sneering.

"What do you guys mean?"

Lu Si frowned.

In the past, the salary subsidy was no more than 20 taels of silver, but now I have given a full 30 taels of silver, which has already given the other party enough face, these people are still too few?

"What do you mean?"

One of them sneered and said, "Just 30 taels and you want to send us away. Do you really think we are beggars?"

"I heard that your inn has made a lot of money recently. If you don't have Brother Zhang's help, do you think you can make so much? Of course you have to give more."

Another younger brother said shamelessly.

Lu Si felt ridiculous when he heard that, what does the business of his inn have to do with the Black Tiger Gang?
But at this moment, he also understood that these people dare to love because they think they have little money.

"Oh, how many do you want?"

Lu Si asked without changing his expression.

Before Zhang San could speak, the little brother beside him spoke first.

"Look at your business recently, let's give you 50 taels this time!"

50 two?
As soon as the words came out, Lu Si's face did not change, but his heart was already cold.

His inn is only a few tens of taels of silver a day, and these people open their mouths for 50 taels. Do you really think that your inn is made of gold?

At the same time, I was also puzzled, wondering why the Black Tiger Gang dared to speak so loudly.

Although the Black Tiger Gang had asked for salary subsidies in the past, they had never demanded such a forceful one.

"Master!"

Zhou Yu next to him blushed with anger and glared at them.

Lu Si waved his hand, stopped Zhou Yu's words, and said calmly.

"I'm afraid you are joking. Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. I am afraid that my small shop can't get it out."

"Mr. Lu, do you know the fate of rejecting my Black Tiger Gang?"

Zhang San's face turned cold, revealing a ferocious look.

Seeing the other party like this, Lu Si couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"This is really troublesome..."
