A group of martial arts masters were sitting on the ground. Although they had practiced martial arts, no matter how strong their bodies were, they could not withstand the cold weather. During the rest period, they found a place with leeward wind to keep warm, or practiced martial arts to keep out the cold.

Fan Xiaodao was not idle either. He chatted with several Jianghu people from Qingzhou Prefecture and the surrounding areas. These people were all from small and medium-sized gangs and came voluntarily after receiving Jianghu summons from the court.

Although these Jianghu people are all famous martial arts figures in the local area, and they are all over thirty years old. Locally, even the county magistrates and magistrates do not look down on them, but in front of people like Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing, and Niu Dafu

But he seemed very humble. I couldn't say that he was submissive, but he also lowered his attitude and spoke politely, saying, Mr. Xiao Fan is working hard, Mr. Fan can work with the prince, he is young and promising, and his future future is limitless.

Although I know it's flattering, it still sounds extremely comfortable.

Fan Xiaodao is the red-robed head catcher of the Jianghu Division, and he has no rank. If we rely on it, he is probably from the sixth to seventh rank. The reason why these overlords are so humble is mainly because of the six-door skin on his body.

.

If we really talk about it, Fan Zhao and the others don't have much power, but who makes him a member of the Sixth Gate? There is no harm in providing good support to such people.

Such a small official in the capital may not be able to get things done, but if something cannot be done, it is easy.

When they learned that Fan Xiaodao's old "home" was also Qingzhou Prefecture, those people became more familiar with each other. They switched to their local accent and complained to Fan Xiaodao, "You don't know, Mr. Fan, the ecology of the rivers and lakes in Qingzhou Prefecture is very bad.

!”

Fan Xiaodao asked: "How do you say this?"

"Although the territory of Qingzhou Prefecture is not large, there are three sects, six gangs, more than ten martial arts schools, and three escort agencies. The competition is very fierce. There are smugglers in salt, escorts, and brothels and casinos. These gangs

, there was a lot of commotion in Qingzhou Prefecture, with martial arts fights happening almost every day. As you know, Qingmen Street is home to the largest market in Qingzhou Prefecture. Within three months, six people changed their owners."

When Fan Xiaodao was in Heifeng Village, he was very aware of these gangs. Because Song Jinjiang was there, the gangs also gave some face to each other, and everything was peaceful. Later, when Song Jinjiang passed away, Fan Xiaodao was too busy taking care of himself and was too lazy to care about those gangsters.

I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

"Does the government not care?"

"The government wants to take control, but they can't. Like our Zhongyi Hall, we have always done legal business and have to survive in the cracks all day long. It's so uncomfortable! However, now that we know that Mr. Xiao Fan is here, things will be easier to handle.

"

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Why?"

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall said, "We in Qingzhou Prefecture don't have any big sects. We don't have any ideas about double first-rate, eight gangs and ten associations. However, as long as Mr. Xiao Fan is here and uses some means, our Zhongyi Hall can become the name of Qingzhou Prefecture."

If the existing sect can establish a cooperative relationship with the Taishan sect, I promise Master Fan that within half a year, peace will definitely be restored to the Qingzhou martial arts world!"

Fan Xiaodao secretly laughed in his heart. After having said so much, he still wanted to get some benefits and gain status from the Six Sects. For them, the status of this small sect is just a matter of words.

But in the Qingzhou Wulin, having six doors recognized is a big deal. At least to the outside world, our Zhongyi Hall has someone in the court!

Fan Xiaodao pretended to be hesitant and said: "The New Deal in Jianghu has just begun. We will recruit the major sects for the time being. As for you, the court has not considered it so thoroughly yet..."

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall said, "Master Xiao Fan, don't worry, as long as we can unify the Qingzhou Wulin, your share of the business matters will be indispensable. No, you will take the lion's share, and we will be just errand workers."

What's the trick, get some white gloves?

Fan Xiaodao asked with a smile, "How much money can a gang like this make in such a big place a year?"

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall said, "There are about a hundred people in the Zhongyi Hall. If we only count the serious business, if we take out the chewing and wrapping, and more than a hundred people eat, drink, and defecate, we can make three to five thousand taels."

"So, there are still shady businesses?"

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall chuckled, "For example, if you set up a brothel or a casino, or do some smashing and looting, you will get a lot of money, at least thirty to fifty thousand taels!"

"so much?"

Fan Xiaodao murmured in his heart that after two years of being the head of Heifeng Village, his income in one year was only a few hundred taels. However, they robbed and collected tolls, etc. They only targeted landlords and wealthy people with a bad reputation, like poor people.

There is generally little bullying.

It seems that the layout is still small!

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall smiled and said: "If you can hand over the power of Qingzhou's Jianghu to our Zhongyi Hall, it will be in your hands in one year, so don't talk about this amount!" As he spoke, he extended a palm.

"Five hundred taels?"

The leader of the Loyalty Hall said: "Master Xiao Fan is joking, we can't even get five hundred taels, I said fifty thousand taels!"

I'm such a good boy!

Fan Xiaodao was shocked. He had been working as a bandit in Qingzhou for twenty years, and the Communist Party had never snatched this amount. So he asked, "I'm curious, if this is true, what kind of business is there?"

The leader of Zhongyi Hall said, "With so many sects competing for land, no matter who gets it, the money they earn must be given as a contribution, right? This is called enjoying the shade under the big tree, and there are also some government financial purchases.

Someone has to do the shopping for a big family. You think an ordinary person can afford it and pay for it? Even if he can, can he ensure that those little gangsters and scoundrels don't cause trouble? We either take the job and peel off the skin, or

Collecting security fees and helping them look after the place, if you calculate it, it's not one hundred and eighty thousand taels in a year? It's only right to give you 50,000 taels to honor you!"

Fan Xiaodao nodded and said suddenly: "That's it!"

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall said, "Of course, we will not do anything illegal. On the contrary, we can also help the government solve problems. If I become the leader of Qingzhou Wulin, the first thing I will do is to destroy the three cottages in Sanlong Mountain in Qingzhou Prefecture."

Got it!"

"Um?"

The leader of the Loyalty Hall said: "Young Master Xiao Fan may not be aware that there are bandits in Sanlong Mountain, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Especially in the Black Wind Village, they are killing people indiscriminately and killing people, making it difficult for the people to live. The government went to encircle and suppress them.

I tried many times but all failed. But if I come to suppress the bandits, the situation will be different."

"Uh uh..."

Fan Xiaodao was speechless.

Although he left Heifeng Village, Lei Lie, Hu Sandao and the others often wrote to him, saying that life in the village was poor and that Yang Er was very strict in managing the family and did not allow them to disturb the people for fear of bringing bad consequences to Fan Xiaodao.

Influence, not long ago, Yang Qing even led his brothers to open up wasteland in the mountains to grow grain and raise pigs. For this reason, Fan Xiaodao also sent them fifty taels of silver to buy piglets.

How did he become such a virtuous person when he came to Zhongyi Hall?

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Brother, what's your clever trick?"

The leader of the Zhongyi Hall said, "I have inquired, and there are not many people in Heifeng Village. Although they are said to be some extremely vicious grass bandits, they are not from the orthodox martial arts sect after all. They can deal with ordinary people, officers and soldiers, but when they encounter serious children like us

The Jianghu sects in Bajing are all a bunch of rabble. If it weren’t for me, just on the hilltop of Heifeng Village, I could kill from Shenxiandu to Qinglong Peak with one sword and one stick of incense, and then from Qinglong Peak back to Shenxiandu.

"

Among the Sanlong Mountains, Qinglong Peak is the highest. Not to mention fighting and killing, with Fan Xiaodao's martial arts, he can barely run back and forth with a stick of incense. The leader of the Zhongyi Hall has practiced outer martial arts, let alone other places.

, in the hands of Hu Sandao, the third master, it is estimated that even three moves will be impossible.

This is so awesome, there really is no need to draft!

Fan Xiaodao nodded, "I understand."

The leader of Zhongyi Hall was overjoyed, "So, you agree?"

"Look!"

The leader of the Loyalty Hall didn't hear any rejection, so he took it as his acquiescence, hugged his fists, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiaofan!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Let's wait until you destroy Black Wind Village first before we talk about this matter!"

The leader of Zhongyi Hall patted his chest and said, "Definitely!"

He wanted to chat with Fan Xiaodao, but Fan Xiaodao said that he had something to do and walked away quickly. After taking a few steps, he smelled a burst of aroma! Not far from Fang Zetan, someone could be heard shouting, "Roast sweet potatoes, roast chestnuts."

Wudang roasted sweet potatoes, stir-fried chestnuts with Dajij sugar, freshly baked, hot, fragrant and sweet! Delicious and not expensive!"

Fan Xiaodao followed the call and saw Daji Sect Zhang Shang and his five or six disciples, greeting the guests. Zhang Tiedan and Li Laifu, who had just been shortlisted and were beaten down, as well as Qin Niu and Song Shuangling, who had been seen before.

, are also helping.

Unexpectedly, a stall was set up here!

However, on such a cold day, it would be wonderful to eat a roasted sweet potato and peel a chestnut.

No wonder Zhang Shang said that Daji Sect pays attention to dual cultivation, which requires learning martial arts and craftsmanship. Being able to do business in the royal garden is really extraordinary!

Fan Xiaodao walked over.

When Zhang Shang saw him coming, he took off his gloves, wiped his sweat, came over and said, "Captain Fan, you're here too." He asked the little girl to pack a bag of chestnuts and said, "Come and try some.

Our beautiful cook Ma Lin just made sugar-roasted chestnuts!”

Ma Lin raised the chestnut in front of him, blushed, lowered her head and said, "Master Fan, please use it."

"How much?"

"A great benefit of fifty cents!"

Zhang Shao waved his hand and said, "Captain Fan wants to eat, so why bother charging for it!" Fan Xiaodao insisted on paying before accepting the chestnuts and asked, "How did you get your business here?"

Zhang Shang sighed, "We didn't bring much money when we came here, and now we don't have enough money to go back. It doesn't add up. Today is a martial arts competition, and all the rich people are here. It's such a cold day, why don't we get some?"

Hot snacks can also make some money."

"Master of the dignified sect, you really save your face."

Zhang Shang said, "There is no shame in making money by yourself!"

Fan Xiaodao apologized slightly, "It's my fault for being too small!"

The people who came were all from the martial arts world. In addition to the leaders and gang leaders, there were also many disciples who came to gain experience. They had some spare money and spent it lavishly. Some of them were from the south and had never experienced the cold weather, but now they could eat.

Some warm food, and there are quite a few people taking care of their business.

However, there are always some disharmonious people who can't stand it and say: "It's a shame that you are here to participate in the martial arts conference. Why are you making money from everyone? We Wudang have disgraced you!"

Fan Xiaodao took a look and saw that these people were wearing Wudang Taoist robes. The leader was a young man with a majestic appearance and a tall figure. However, there was a hint of violence in his eyebrows.

When Dajimen sets up stalls, people from Wudang come looking for trouble.
