"Little Lu Geng, I have met my boss." Seeing that Ling Chu really wanted to hire him as the shopkeeper, the young man was overjoyed and even knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to her.

Ling Chu twitched the corner of his mouth, this Lu Geng is really sincere.

 “No need to be polite, get up quickly.”

Ling Chu took a piece of talisman and handed it to him, "Although I can't seal your yin and yang eyes, this talisman can protect you, and the puppet souls will not dare to approach you easily in the future. You don't have to worry about them eating you again." Eaten.”

"Really? That's great. Thank you, my boss. Thank you so much, my boss." Lu Geng almost cried with joy. He couldn't taste the food. It was so painful. He didn't expect that his new boss could help him solve the problem.

Had he not been short of money, he would have been eager to buy a bun to taste it now.

Ling Chu also knew that it was really painful not to be able to taste the taste. Prince Jing also had this experience and even made trouble in the palace because of it.

Seeing that it was getting late and curfew was about to come, Ling Chu signed a contract with Lu Geng and settled him in a small building.

Seeing that his clothes were ragged, he paid him a month's worth of money in advance so that he could buy two new pairs of clothes.

 When you are a shopkeeper, you still have to pay attention to your image.

Although it is not required to dress up very well, at least it must be clean and tidy, and at least it must not offend the guests who come to the door.

 Outside, the puppet souls who originally followed Lu Geng had already disappeared. Ling Chu glanced around and paid no attention to them.

  Go back with the people.

  It is the first shop after all.

Ling Chu chose a good day to hang up the plaque and open the business.

However, because it was a death shop, the opening was relatively low-key and simple, and it was not publicized.

 On the first day of opening, even though he knew there wouldn’t be many customers, Ling Chu still came over.

He also inserted the hexagram flags used when setting up the stall at the door of the shop, and asked shopkeeper Lu to write down the prices of various talismans before Ling Chu sat in the private room aside.

Seeing that no guests had come to the door yet, Ling Chu simply took out the cinnabar talisman paper and started making talismans again.

He was only halfway through drawing the talisman when an arrogant voice came from the door.

“Hey, Da Yuan Lou, this is a newly opened shop... Brothers, let’s go and have a look.”

Although he heard footsteps coming, Ling Chu ignored them and continued to draw the talisman paper in his hand.

Lu Geng was wiping the counter when he heard a movement. He looked up and saw a man walking in with seven or eight people. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

“If you need anything, you can come in and take a look.”

The visitor impatiently stretched out his hand and said, "Stop trying to trick me, and hurry up and bring me the banknote."

 Lu Geng was confused, "What kind of banknote?"

 “Stop grinding and chirping, you can’t break the rules.”

 Lu Geng was confused.

When this group of people came in, they didn’t buy anything. Instead, they asked for money and told him not to break the rules.

 It was really puzzling for him to understand.

In the nearby shop, a clerk who heard the commotion and came to watch the excitement saw that he didn't understand anything. He shook his head and reminded him in a low voice, "This man's name is Er Laizi. He is a bully on this street. He comes here every month." The shop charges protection fees.”

 Lu Geng frowned, "How much do they want to charge?"

Before the guy opened his mouth, Er Laizi took the first step and stretched out a palm towards him and shook it.

 “Not much, fifty taels is enough.”

"Fifty taels is not much, why don't you go and grab it! Our shop just opened today and we haven't made a penny yet. Where can I give you money?"

The waiter next to him glanced at Lu Geng sympathetically, thinking to himself where the fool was from. He was just robbing him.

Er Laizi stood in the shop, looked around, and sneered, "You can afford to open such a big shop, how can you be short of money?

 Besides, I don’t want much, fifty taels is the rule. From now on, with us covering your shop, no one will dare to come and make trouble, and you can do business in peace and quiet. "

"What's the rule? Isn't it the duty of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to patrol the streets? Why didn't Miss Ben know when the people were changed? Or are you people pretending to be the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, here to defraud money?"

Er Laizi was waiting for Lu Geng to bring him a banknote. When he suddenly heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. Xun Sheng turned his head, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

 The anger also dissipated.

 “Who is this girl?”

Shopkeeper Lu frowned and glared at him, "This is the owner of our shop."

Er Laizi said with a smile on his face, "It turns out to be the boss. I'm not cheating. It's the first time for a girl to open a shop. It's not surprising that she doesn't know the rules. But accepting this money is indeed the rule of this West Street."

If you don’t believe me, girl, you can go out and ask around. I am not lying to you. "

Ling Chu naturally wouldn't inquire, they are just a group of hooligans who collect protection fees in the name of protection.

“This is my shop, it’s not your turn to tell me the rules. If you don’t have any money, get out.”

As soon as Ling Chu finished speaking, Er Laizi's face immediately turned cold.

Although this girl is beautiful and fascinates him, he cannot let her break the rules.

"Who can afford to open such a big shop and say that he has no money? You have to pay this money whether you pay it or not. You can't break the rules of West Street at will."

The gangsters behind Er Laizi also started shouting, "Hurry up and get the banknotes, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

Ling Chu was unmoved, "Why are you so rude and destroying our shop?"

Those hooligans did not deny it, but laughed arrogantly, "It's good if you know. If you know the truth, please give me the money quickly."

Ling Chu’s eyebrows were cold and his voice was light, “I’m sorry, I don’t want to meet you today.”

Those ruffians all stared angrily.

 Feeling that she has lost face in front of everyone.

Er Laizi is even more sullen. If he doesn't convince this girl today, how can he continue to collect protection fees on this street in the future.

He turned his head sideways and winked at the people he brought with him, signaling them to take action.

The seven or eight ruffians rolled up their sleeves and were ready to attack.

Ling Chu summoned the big shovel and small hammer first.

The shop has only been opened for the first day, so we can’t destroy it.

 The little hammer and the big shovel decided to work together.

First, he rushed towards the leading scoundrel and knocked him over with a hammer.

While he was writhing in pain on the ground holding his legs.

The big shovel rushed over, scooped him up, and swung him out of the store.

Er Laizi couldn't help but fly a few feet away, and then hit the ground hard.

Having dealt with him, Little Hammer immediately rushed towards the stunned gangsters.

Soon, Er Laizi and the people he brought were all lying outside holding their legs and howling miserably.

Everyone on West Main Street was gloating about their misfortune. It was a great pleasure that someone finally dealt with these hateful gangsters.

Er Laizi was originally full of confidence. In the past, those shops that were unwilling to pay money would obediently pay them as long as they smashed them once.

This trick has always been invincible and has never failed.

 Unexpectedly, this time he kicked an iron plate.
