Chapter 204 Locking the Dragon Well

In the next few days, the busiest streets in the capital will be selected, and Zhushikou will be the most lively street.

Liushemen issued a "Notice on Carrying out the Remediation of Cultural City Creation", and used Zhushikou as a pilot unit to concentrate on rectifying and inspecting unlicensed stores and unqualified security and fire protection. Zhushikou was in chaos for a while.

The end of the year is approaching, as an important commercial street, Zhushikou, various stores want to make money at the end of the year. As soon as this policy is released, many stores that are unwilling to buy (pay) security insurance (protective) insurance (protective) insurance (protective) will be closed directly. In desperation, these stores have paid money to settle the matter with the principle of calming things.

Twenty taels of silver were a bit too much, but the insurance period was one year. A store that bought insurance caught fire and we compensated for the loss of 100 taels according to the contract. As soon as this reputation spread, other stores saw hope and bought them one after another. Some even paid more protection fees in order to increase the insurance amount.

In three days, we collected more than 8,000 taels of silver, went out for sales expenses of more than 1,000 taels, withdrew 4,000 taels of compensation reserves, and handed over the remaining 3,000 taels to Baihu Hall. Although Baihu Hall belongs to Sihe Hall, each hall is also an independent accounting unit. The three thousand taels were deposited into the Qinglong Hall's money house at a monthly interest rate of one cent.

Qi Xiaowei asked me to write the plan into a report and gave it to Mr. Zhao, who received praise from Mr. Zhao, and ordered that all streets reform the collection and protection fees according to this plan after the New Year. In order to reflect the principle that only talent is used in Sihetang, Mr. Zhao Jiuyi promoted me to the assistant to the Baihu Hall, ranking Qi Xiaowei and Li Laohu, and became the third leader of the Baihu Hall.

As for Zhao Long and Zhang Hu's disappearance, Qi Xiaowei did not pursue it. She was just two male lovers. Not long after, she found two more. Since I could open up the relationship between the Six Gates, she was happy to enjoy the benefits. I made up a reason, saying that I had a distant relative in the Six Gates, and I could say a few words in it.

Qi Xiaowei said that on the surface we are incompatible with the Six Doors, but in fact we are mutually beneficial. Especially in some of the Six Doors, some of them are inconvenient to intervene or some dirty and tiring work, and they are transferred to Sihetang through some channels. Both leaders know it well and have not just said it out.

I was rising too fast, and the deputy hall master Li Laohu regarded me as a thorn in his eyes. He has not looked good these days, and he has always been sarcastic about the reform plan I proposed. He was waiting to see me laugh at me, and said in front of me that if my plan could work, he would drink the foot washing water of a girl like a flower in the world.

Heaven and earth are the best brothels in the capital, and this flower-like girl is as famous as her weight of 300 pounds.

The Heaven and Earth have always been aimed at providing unconditional services. Some of them have a strong taste. This flower girl was prepared for this group of people. When she first entered the Heaven and Earth, she only had 200 kilograms. Later, as she gained weight, her fame and price also increased. It is said that before she picked up customers, she had to weigh the weight, and the overnight fee was charged according to her weight.

Later, when I collected the money and went to him to cash in person, he avoided it. Even if I met him, he would still be polite to him and refused to take over this matter. After all, he was the second in command of the White Tiger Hall, so I didn't deliberately force him, but the feeling of slapping him in the face was still very pleasant.

On the Little New Year, heavy snow fell in the sky. This is the second snowfall in the capital since the beginning of winter.

I finished my work at Zhushikou, and it was already evening. I didn’t have many friends in the capital. Zhang Youqian and Lao Suntou were from the Six Gates. I wanted to avoid suspicion. After thinking about it, I had to go to the first and fifth brothers. Before I could reach Xizhimen, I was blocked by Xie Junyan in the middle of the road.

When I saw her indifferent look, I knew that she was not Xie Junyan, but Queen Mother.

I said why are you here?

Queen Ming sneered, "What's wrong? Do you miss your sister Jun Yan? Why don't you leave her for you tonight?"

I felt a little nervous. This guy was so difficult. Even the sword god Feng Wanli was not her enemy in one move. Who can be her opponent except for the hidden master?

Thinking of this, I decided not to force myself. I followed her tone and said, of course not, but I was very happy to meet my senior here. Has the senior eaten it? Recently, I opened a stinky tofu in Beijing and it tasted pretty good. Why would you take you to try it?

Queen Min carried her with one hand, looking proud, and I can't pretend to be this master's aura.

She asked, do you want to treat me to a meal?

I thought I didn't want to, but I didn't dare to say that if one word made her unhappy, let alone kill me, just do it gently, which would be enough for me to lie for ten days and half a month. I shouted, this is my honor.

Queen Ming said lightly, today’s Little New Year, let’s eat dog meat hotpot.

I searched for a long time and found that there was no dog meat hotpot. She was quite impatient and took me to the Shangshu Mansion. The two ferocious Tibetan mastiffs at the door were lying on the ground like a well-behaved Teddy when they saw the Queen of the Underworld, they lay on the ground like a well-behaved Teddy, not daring to move.

Queen Ming waved her hand and the two iron chains broke and said in a deep voice, come with me.

Two people walked on the long street on the snowy night and came to a hot pot. The queen said, "What are you waiting for? Go to the pot soon."

I took a breath and it turned out that I had brought two dogs to eat me. I said, "My sister, my meat is a little sour, why don't we change to someone else?"

Queen Ming looked contemptuous, I'm talking to the dog, what are you going to take?

Uh uh…

Two Tibetan mastiffs were lying on the ground, with pleading expressions on their faces, and kept whining. When Queen Ming waved her hand, the two dogs died immediately. Looking at me, "What are you waiting for? Can you still want me to do it?"

The hot pot is steaming, and my heart is cold.

Queen Min ignored me, and she held the dog meat slices, dipped them in the seasoning, and put them in her mouth. To be honest, this action was very elegant, but I felt sad in my heart. She asked why not eat it?

I said I wasn't hungry.

Are you really not hungry?

I had no choice but to say, it is so cruel that you can eat such two cute dogs into your stomach.

Queen Ming snorted coldly, not long ago in Songhe Tower, you and your good brother killed more than a dozen people in one breath, but I just slaughtered two dogs. Are you here to reason with me and talk about cruelty?

I said it can be the same. We protect ourselves, but you are just to fill our stomachs.

Queen Ming said disdainfully, killing means killing, don’t make excuses. You can argue with me again, I will cook with you.

I didn't move a chopstick, but she started eating without hesitation.

In less than half an hour, two Tibetan mastiffs were eaten by Empress Nether. I said you have a good appetite. Empress Nether Gurgled twice, saying that she was still not full. As she said that she stared at me with an inexplicable smile.

I had goose bumps all over my body and quickly said, "I heard from the imperial physician that eating 60% full at night is the healthiest. Eating too much is easy to accumulate food. Look, I have eaten and drunk wine, so should we leave, right?"

Queen Ming smiled and said, "Why are you afraid that I will eat you?"

I nodded honestly, yes.

Queen Ming said, don’t worry, keeping you will be useful. And if you really die, Xie Junyan’s little girl is too sad, which is not conducive to the recovery of my deity. Isn’t that a pity? As she said that, she stood up and said, “Follow me.”

I got up and settled the bill, and followed her out in shame.

Queen Ming looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and said, "It's snowing. Should I call Xie Junyan out to talk to you?"

I said what I could say, did I tell her that your body was occupied by another person, so I should be more careful in the future?

Queen Ming smiled and said, "This little girl is extremely smart. She has vaguely guessed my existence." But she is also a cautious person and refuses to tell others. Do you remember that she once picked up a book in Taoshan that day?

I vaguely remember this. At that time, some yellowed books were scattered in the cave, and she put them in her arms. So she asked, so what?

Queen Ming said, I said that this girl is smart, because she almost deduced the Yellow Formation Diagram Formation with some broken books. This formation restrains my true self. If she really calculates it, I may be killed. So, whenever it reaches a critical moment, I will come out and destroy her formation.

I thought in my mind that what Queen Ming said was true and false. Since she told me this, wouldn’t she be afraid that I would say to Xie Junyan?

I said it was getting late and I would go back late, so Xie Shangshu would get angry.

Queen Ming did not answer, said something, followed him. As she said that, she walked towards the east of the city. Her martial arts had already surpassed the three realms. Even though I was unparalleled in light skills, she was still a pediatrician in front of her. After walking a few steps, she stopped to wait for me. Finally, she became impatient and picked up my arm. I felt a wind in my ears. Not long after, she arrived at the North New Bridge of Dongzhimen.

Beixin Bridge, there is no bridge.

Where the queen stood, there was a well, and a stone tablet stood at the wellhead.

The wellhead is composed of six large iron chains, which are said to be connected to the seabed.

According to folk legend, there is an evil dragon trapped in this Dragon Locking Well. There is also a legend here that Emperor Taizu had a nightmare and Yao Guangxiao designed to trap evil dragons. Of course, it is just a legend. No one will be serious about the fact that Emperor Taizu had never lived in Beijing. The capital in the early Ming Dynasty was in Yingtian Prefecture.

Queen Ming didn't say anything, and looked at the Lock Dragon Well silently.

I felt the atmosphere was a little depressed, and asked tentatively, "The senior asked the boy to come here, it was not to remember the famous places and historical sites." The queen looked at me and said, "It is said that there is an evil dragon trapped here."

I thought to myself that you have read too many fantasy novels, and you are still evil dragons. The underworld alone has been enough for me to digest for a long time, but I said, I believe it! As long as you say a word from senior, I will jump down and catch the evil dragon. To be honest, I have never eaten dragon meat hotpot.

Queen Ming didn't expect that I would say such words. She laughed. Her peerless and arrogant face made me feel a little relieved. She asked, do you really believe it?

I said embarrassedly, I am actually an atheist, but since my predecessors say there is, it means there is.

Queen Ming said, then what do you think these six iron chains are used for?

I am not Liu Bowen, and I did not design the capital. How could I know? So I misunderstood that it was rumored that as long as these six iron chains were pulled out, the water of the sea would be introduced into the capital. I think this is a water conservancy project with crypts.

Queen Ming smiled and said, "You are only half right."

I wondered, half?

Queen Ming said lightly that this dragon locking well is actually one of the eyes of the God-Shocking Array.

I was shocked. I had heard of this shocking formation. It ranks first among the three strange formations in "A Brief History of the River and Lake". It is said that it was founded by Lu Zu that year. It gathered the world's fortune in the capital to bless the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years. However, I heard that this world's first strange formation has long been destroyed.

Queen Min ordered to jump down.
