Although I only bought two stores, it is gratifying that these two stores are in good locations. They are both located in the north of the inner city, close to Andingmen. You can get to the Imperial College for more than half an hour walking, which is a prime location.

Xian Ruxing came first and had nothing to do. He went to the shop with Chen Ergou and looked around for a few times. He was generally satisfied. He knocked on the doors and windows in the room and told him: "Most of the materials used here are wood, and it will definitely be in autumn and winter.

Pay attention to fire prevention.”

Currently, the person responsible for staying here to decorate and renovate is a subordinate of Chen Ergou. He is also a refugee. He is naturally outstanding when he can be picked out. At least he speaks the official words better than Chen Ergou. He is quite tall and has dark skin.

It's more like a soldier than doing business.

Facing Xian Ruxing, he seemed very nervous and wanted to put every word in his words in his mind.

In order to relax, Xian Ruxing sat down and chatted with him for a while, "Your name is Deng Shiyi, right? What did you do in Jiangxi Prefecture before?"

Originally, he was just asking casually, but Deng Shiyi's face turned pale and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Go back to the immortal master, the villain used to be a strong squad in Qian County, but was kicked out for offending the manager of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

I went out and wandered somewhere, thanks to Brother Chen taking it in."

He didn't speak for a long time, and Xian Ruxing thought there was something wrong with the other party in his identity, but after listening, he understood what was going on.

To put it bluntly, the "Zhuangshi" is a constable. There are three yamen runners in the county town, and the Zhuangshi is one of them. The main thing is that some people go to the county government to work and are responsible for assisting when the county government does not have enough staff.

Unlike modern respected people's police, the Ming Dynasty's constables were actually cheap people, and there was no difference between them and the advocate of good slaves. Although the squad was not cheap people, they also engaged in "lower careers". Even if they did not do it in the future, they would do it.

It will take three generations of people to be unable to participate in the imperial examination.

The constable is different from other places. He has relatively high rights in the local area. If he is really appreciated by Shangguan, he is also a fat man. Deng Shiyi originally lived a good life in his hometown, but he was framed because he couldn't stand the actions of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

Not only did he lose his job, but he also got the word "bad" and he would inevitably be disliked in the future.

Chen Ergou was afraid that Xian Ruxing would think too much, so he interrupted: "Immortal Master, don't look at this boy being thin. He also took care of people in Qian County back then. After coming to the capital, he could endure hardships than anyone else. He practiced with a stone in his mouth in the middle of the night.

In the official language, I have spoken almost the same as the locals in just one month. Don’t worry if you hand over the store to him.”

Xian Ruxing nodded without saying a word, but instead asked Deng Shiyi about the business direction of the store. Maybe he had drafted it in his mind. Although the other party's answer was not innovative, he was very polite.

Looking at the man's nervous and somewhat expectant eyes, Xian Ruxing fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a few noises suddenly came from outside. Looking up, I saw three or five men standing at the door, cursing and wondering what they were saying.

Deng Shiyi frowned and hurriedly walked out. He negotiated with the people, saying that he would lead people to persuade them to leave.

When I entered the house, facing Xian Ruxing's inquiry eyes, I explained with a wry smile: "It's a local gang in the capital, called the Tiger Head Gang, who came to collect the care fee. I had already paid it once a few days ago, but yesterday I said that the little money was

We only take care of one store, and we are connected to each other, so we must hand over again.”

"What's the matter?" Chen Ergou laughed angry. He helped people work hard in the early years and was in the market. He also knew that he had to do business everywhere, but now in the capital, his boss can talk to the emperor.

But, I'm going to be eaten and asked for?

Deng Shiyi said helplessly: "The Hutou Gang is mixed, not only with the eunuchs in the palace, but also with the Jinyiwei. Not to mention us, I heard that the shops in the Pavilion Master's house should be filial to you at regular intervals."

He hesitated and looked at Xian Ruxing, hinting that since the boss could find the government to solve the problem.

"This kind of thing can't be solved." Xian Ruxing shook his head, "Even if he was to hurry up and go a few, these people would be like rats in the gutter, and they would rekindle soon. If they use secret tricks behind their backs, they wouldn't have to do business.

If you really want to completely eliminate it, you will probably use the Five City Military Commanders. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and looks at me with so many eyes. As a close minister of the emperor, I am so fond of my own selfishness, I may cause trouble again.

”

"Are you just being blackmailed by them all the time?" Chen Ergou's face turned red with anger, which was too frustrating.

"Of course not," Xian Ruxing sneered and turned to him and said, "Let the people who follow you prepare the guys, I'll transfer one hundred more to find a place to go to the evening. Hutou Gang, right? How much did you eat for me?

I spit it out twice!”

Of course, "using power for personal gain" is not possible, but there is no problem with "eliminating harm for the people".

Chen Ergou was stunned. When he reacted, he jumped three feet high and made the happiest voice since he entered Beijing, "Okay, this little guy is best at it, Immortal Master, please wait!"

That night, the mansion of the leader of the Tiger Head Gang in the North of the City was taken down.

Although the Hutou Gang has been entrenched in the capital for many years and has many people, the refugees who followed Chen Ergou have really seen those who have been on the battlefield and have been crushed by equipment, and they are basically in a state of great power along the way.

Xian Ruxing specifically investigated that the Hutou Gang was full of evil deeds. In addition to collecting care fees, he also secretly abducted people and seized people's wealth. No one was clean at all. So he ordered that he would not be merciless when he encountered resistance.

The Hutou Gang members dared to struggle at first, but as several leaders fell to the ground one after another, they were all scared and scared. Finally, they counted the results of the battle, and few could stand and talk.

Xian Ruxing waited for almost the battle inside to pass. Deng Shiyi specially found a chair, washed away the blood stains all over the yard, respectfully asked the immortal master to sit in the center, and then began to report on the situation.

Speaking of which, he deserves to have been in the public ranks, and Xian Ruxing thought he was looking at his godfather for a moment.

"The second boss of the Hutou Gang was cut off his head in a chaotic battle. The third brother went to Beijing to do business. The location has been determined. He sent someone to settle it just now. Our brothers here have injured two of them. It's nothing.

It's so fatal, but someone was touched by the wrist. Although the blood stopped, the doctor said that it is very likely that he would not be able to lift heavy things in the future."

"Take care of him and let him do any light errands in advance if you have any in the future." Xian Ruxing ordered.

With such a big noise, the guards in the capital could not have responded. However, before that, Xian Ruxing had already said hello, and some excuses were that she was now considered helping the emperor with a helping him. It would be enough for the other party to drink a pot of disrespect.

"Immortal Master, we found a sack in the wing room of the Datong's yard, and it seemed like there was a person inside."

As he was talking here, Chen Ergou walked out with a big bag. After opening it, a young man in brocade clothes with blood appeared in front of everyone.

Although it looked scary, the people present could tell at a glance that it was just a skin trauma. After wiping away the blood, they showed an extremely handsome face.

Chen Ergou shivered and said in fear: "The boss of the Tiger Head Gang won't have any other hobbies, you'll forcefully rob a man or something. Why don't you wake up this little guy and ask?"

Judging from the person's clothes and dress, he knew that his identity was extraordinary. Xian Ruxing was also a little curious, so he agreed with Chen Ergou's statement.

Chen Ergou pushed the young man twice, but he didn't wake up for a long time, so he was a little at a loss. Xian Ruxing stepped forward and tried to shake the other person's clothes.

At this moment, a fire suddenly surged into the sky outside, accompanied by a sound of footsteps, and a large number of officers and soldiers appeared in front of them.

The leader was wearing a sixth-rank blue official uniform. He was the commander of the North City Military Command. There was a thin old man standing beside him. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his voice was very familiar, "Wu Ershen was missing this afternoon.

, Someone saw that he was captured and was probably not wrong. If someone caught him and didn't explain, I would know some people in the Jinyiwei..."

Xian Ruxing has known Yang Tinghe for the first time since he has seen him lose his composure. It sounds like his son was kidnapped by the Hutou Gang. It is rumored that Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen is a handsome man who is sought after by everyone in the capital. I really want to see him...ah?

She looked at the young man holding in her hand and was suddenly stunned.

It's not such a coincidence...

At this time, the anxious Shoufu Yang also noticed the situation in the yard. Seeing his son covered in blood being held by someone, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Xian Ruxing: “…”

...

Fortunately, there are hundreds of people who testify for Xian Ruxing, and Yang Tinghe is also a sensible person. He will not be crazy about his son if he doesn't deal with him. His advocacy of dismissing his idle job and selling Huangzhuang has also offended many people.

On weekdays, he would even carry a knife with him when he went out, but he was secretly secreted. Unexpectedly, Yang Shen would tell him that he would need to be more prepared in the future.

Yang Tinghe was in a complicated mood for Xian Ruxing, but no matter what, the other party saved Yang Shen, so he still took the initiative to thank him.

Xian Ruxing looked at the cabinet chief, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Tao Fu Yang, although the Hutou Gang was destroyed, the people behind him are still there, only a thousand days to be a thief, so how can he guard against thieves for a thousand days?

As long as those people hold a grudge against the Taifu, they will make another move sooner or later. So, why not make a deal? I know you are busy disbanding the imperial shop recently, but you are blocked everywhere and the process is not going well."

Yang Tinghe frowned when he heard the word "transaction". Before Xian Ruxing could continue to say it, he said decisively: "The imperial shop has no harm and no profit, so it is impossible for you to continue."

Xian Ruxing smiled and shook her head, and said leisurely: "The chief assistant misunderstood that I want to open a store, so of course I am in my personal name. As for the imperial store, I plan to buy and sell it with you at the market price."

Hundreds of royal stores are spread all over the north, and it is undoubtedly an astronomical figure to buy them. Even though Yang Tinghe is knowledgeable, he is also a little shocked by the other party's boldness.

To be honest, the removal of the imperial shop is not as simple as he thought. Even in the capital, after confiscating the imperial shop, many eunuchs cheated on the name of the imperial shop. Yang Tinghe knew that after this, he might leave, this thing would have to be

As the resurgence of the ashes, it would be better to sell it to fill the treasury. But, as an old official, he had long been accustomed to maximizing interests, so he continued to say calmly: "So, what can Master Xian provide?"

"Yang Taifu is extremely powerful, so he naturally has nothing to lack," Xian Ruxing smiled and said seriously: "I have no body, let's do this, one month, give me a month, I will protect you from your family after you have a family.

I will no longer be harassed by underground cities in the capital, and I will try to give you peace of mind."

Yang Tinghe looked at her deeply, and after a long time, he nodded slowly, "Okay, then I will wait for the Taoist priest's good news."

Xian Ruxing gave a tribute gracefully, and then watched Yang Tinghe take his son away.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Ergou scratched his head and said in confusion: "Immortal Master, since that's the case, will you continue to deal with the small gangs in the capital in the future? Isn't this the matter of the Five City Military and Ma Si?

”

Xian Ruxing shook her head, "There are millions of people in the capital, and there are countless idle people, so how can we control them one by one? Besides, when the water is clear, there is no fish. Even if it is a place that is clear, there is no way to completely prevent them from gathering. So...

”

Xian Ruxing turned to look at Deng Shiyi, "Using the Hutou Gang as a base, I will give you people and money. In a month, what step can you do?"

Deng Shiyi's body was shocked, and he looked at Xian Ruxing, and his heart was pounding.

He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for more than twenty years had come.

He did not dare to hesitate and quickly leaned over and said, "The villain should do his best and be willing to work hard for the immortal master!"

Xian Ruxing frowned, "Don't say that these are useless, tell me directly, where can you do?"

"Yes," Deng Shiyi gritted his teeth and estimated in his heart, "It should not be a problem to take down the three northeast and west places."

"Okay, that's it," Xian Ruxing nodded. "It won't be done when it's over, and you don't need to see me anymore. Also, I'll ask you to replace the Hutou Gang. You should know what can be done and what can't be done before.

If you dare to get involved..."

"The villain understands." Deng Shiyi quickly said yes.

After the explanation, Xian Ruxing saw that nothing was wrong, so he returned to the palace and saw Jiajing the next day and described the incident.
To be continued...
