Dark Fairy

Chapter 40 Town Hall
Among the ways to make money in the knife shop, there are three ways that are the most capable of making money.The first is to confiscate smugglers; the second is to release water money; the third is the money shop.

In fact, Qianfang and Shuiqian are very compatible, and the two paths often overlap.Therefore, there are also people from the knife studio who put water money in the money shop.More often than not, Qianfang itself is also releasing water money.

People who put water in the money shop by themselves are called scrapers.Putting water and collecting water is like scraping the intestines and washing the marrow. As long as you owe money and don’t pay it back, unless you have an outrageous background like Zeng Fei, you will squeeze out the oil for your bones and pay it back.

And the hall is the thugs who patrol the Qianfang to watch the field.Deal with those who rely on some skills to make money or make trouble.At the same time, we also need to beware of some unexpected situations, such as the killing scene between the knife halls, the malicious intentions of bandits and so on.

Under normal circumstances, the waist knife plays these two roles, either releasing water to collect water to scrape intestines, or cruising around the venue to deal with various emergencies.

Bailang thought that going to Qianfang was a rare good job.Compared with other waist knives who often have to fight against the gangsters who come and go in and out of the city or the unruly smugglers and rats, there is not much blood in the money shop.It can be said to be a relatively safe place among the safe.

Moreover, Qianfang Qianfang has the word "money" in its name, so there is no need to say more about how rich it is.Rewards from high-rollers, daily profit sharing, water money in and out, tea fees, etc., there are many items, and they are all oil and water allowed by the knife shop.

Of course, a good place like Qianfang is not something you can go to just by grabbing a knife.This local relationship seems simple but is actually complex.It is not only the division of interests among the red swordsmen in the sword hall, but also the demonstration of the interests and status of the swordsman Tang Yan against his subordinates.Both inside and outside are based on seniority.

If Bailang hadn't directly worshiped Liu Xu because of Zhou Dong's relationship, he would not have been able to go to the big money shop that was about to be merged even if he got rid of Zeng Fei's bad debts this time.He can go now because he has meritorious service and represents the interests of Liu Xu's lineage.

But if he can go, he can go, Bailang never thought that he went to Qianfang not to be an intestine scraper or to go to the hall, but to be a town hall!

As the name suggests, the Zhentang is the person who holds the place.

In order to be a town hall, in addition to convincing the public in the intricate network of Qianfang, it also requires skill and strength.It is necessary to be able to control the scene, but also to be able to control the walkers and intestine scrapers under his hands.In other words, when it does not involve the operation of the Qianfang itself, the town hall is the biggest leader in terms of water collection and release and guarding.Even the town hall in the entire Qianfang can be ranked in the top three positions.

Bailang had heard Zhou Dong say a lot about Qianfang when he was with Zhou Dong in the past, and knew that in most cases the three important positions of Qianfang's shopkeeper, treasurer, and town hall were held by the red swordsmen in the knife studio.Or a senior and powerful waist knife will take up the post.No matter how you look at it, it is not the turn of a new waist knife like him to sit on the position of town hall.

There is nothing simple about this.

Bailang felt anxious and asked tentatively: "Master Liu, how capable is this young man? How can He De sit in the position of the leader? I'm afraid this will embarrass you, Master Liu!"

Let’s explore the bottom first and then talk about retreating.Even if you really go back to the lobby or have a bowel scraper, you won't feel any unwillingness, and you will even feel more at ease.Because that is the position he should be in under normal circumstances, not the current "township" position that seems to be beautiful but is actually full of trouble.

Liu Xu sat back on the chair with a smile, and then remained silent for a while before speaking: "Bai Lang, what do you think is the most important thing in a knife studio?"

"The small ones think that strength is the most important thing."

"Yes, strength is the most important thing in a sword studio. But there are many types of strength. Cultivation is strength, numbers are strength, and sword appreciation can also be regarded as a kind of strength here. No Those with strength can only stay away from nourishment and get involved in the swords, swords, shadows and the grinding of life and death. Either they die halfway, or they continue to become stronger and "strength" during the grinding and get rid of the past.

You think the two money shops in Dongshi have been doing well for decades, so why are they suddenly merging? "

Master Liu spoke calmly with a smile, and paused. He did not wait for Bailang to answer, but continued to give the answer himself: "Because of strength. The two Qianfangs are the two forces in the sword hall. When they are balanced, they will naturally be at peace with each other. It's okay, but once one party is too weak, do you think the other party will look at the fat on their lips and remain indifferent?

That's why there are two money shops merged into one.

And you represent me, the lineage of the Affairs Hall.When dividing the benefits, it is natural that a location in the town hall is needed to have sufficient weight.

As for whether you can control the situation, that's your business.I will give Zhou Dong face, and at the same time, I will give you a chance. If you seize it, you will become famous in the knife hall, and you will be able to soar into the sky, and you will struggle at least ten years less than others.If you can't sit still, no one else can take your seat in the hall from me, so I'll just replace you.

After each passing, you should be able to tell clearly who feels the most uncomfortable and who is the most regrettable in the end, right? "

"Boy, I can tell the difference." Bailang didn't expect Liu Xu to say so many weighty and meaningful words suddenly.I didn't know how to answer for a while.At the same time, I also understand that I can no longer refuse the position of "Town Hall".To refuse again is to be ignorant of flattery, and it will be impossible to stay in Liu Xu's context in the future.And in his words, Liu Xu directly showed his "strength" to the fullest, so strong that Bai Lang inevitably felt a little more worried.

"Okay, now that you can tell the difference, are you going to wait until Qianfang merges to go there, or are you going to go there in advance to help?"

"I want to go there as soon as possible, firstly to get familiar with the environment, and secondly to see how many unconvinced people want to give me some power."

"Are you confident?"

"I will not embarrass Mr. Liu!"

"it is good!"

Liu Xu asked Bailang to retreat after a few words of encouragement.He still has a lot to do.Although Bailang's appointment as the new Qianfang Town Hall is a big deal, it doesn't mean that Liu Xu will always protect him.The words have been said and the road has been paved. The rest depends on how Bailang, who Liu Xu had no choice but to give him high hopes, does.Whether it is good or bad will take time to verify.

Leaving the entrance of the main hall, Bailang, who should have been ecstatic, couldn't be excited at all. It was not even as happy as when he came. Instead, he felt like walking on thin ice with heavy shoulders.

After thinking about it, Bailang didn't go home either. Instead, he came out of Masheng Lane and went to the street in Dongshi to look for Zhou Dong.

When they found Zhou Dong, he happened to be going to have a drink, so the two of them found a tavern and sat down together.

"I heard that you bought a dead man's house?" Zhou Dong asked first as soon as he sat down.
