How did I become king

"Master, why should you underestimate yourself? May I ask who can start from scratch like the master, and make such a fortune in this troubled world? In this point alone, the master is comparable to the princes of the court." full of wine.

When Xie Anping heard this, he immediately laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! Madam Yu, you have such a powerful mouth! You can blow your mind so high!"

Immediately, the beautiful woman in Huang Chang smiled charmingly and did not speak.

"By the way, Zhou Hongyuan, is Bailikuang here?" After laughing, Xie Anping calmed down, his eyes sparkling.

He was very afraid of these two old rivals.

Shashui County has a convenient terrain, located on the left side of Qingyang County, and Shashui River is one of the tributaries of the Qingyang Dahe River. It surrounds the three counties of Shashui, Heyuan, and Feiyun. It is the most convenient to transport goods in and out by land and water.

Over the years, the freight he paid to Zhou Hongyuan was as high as hundreds of miles of gold!

If you use this huge amount of money to recruit subordinates, you might be able to recruit a master with more than [-] apertures in the Stellar Qi Realm.

In addition, Bailikuang's medicine business is very profitable!There is also Baili Kuang's human tooth business, he has long wanted to swallow it!

"Master, Zhou Hongyuan has arrived and is waiting in the private room. Baili Kuang has not arrived yet. But it should be around the same time."

The beautiful woman in Huang Chang made a guess.

"Yeah. Zhou Hongyuan is greedy by nature, and Bailikuang has always been lustful, but they are nothing to worry about. With such a big family dragging down, they don't have the guts to tear me apart. But Lu Gan is different, he is backed by Zhen Fu Si Feitian Li Feng, a master of the realm, is a loner and knows how to endure. Before he was promoted to the Gang Qi realm, he had never confronted Master Wei and the county magistrate head-on, and it is really eye-opening to turn his face today!"

Xie Anping was amazed.

Who would have thought that Lu Gan would be tough on the county magistrate, and even severely injured the disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect.

Not to mention Master Wei, Lu Gan grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall, turning him into a pig's head.

However, I heard that the county magistrate has sent someone to Qingyang County to file a complaint.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Master, someone is making trouble in the martial arts arena."

"Who is it?" Xie Anping frowned.

His arena is very bloody, life and death are irrelevant, on the arena, he is a beast in the eyes of those crazy gamblers outside the arena.

There are still people making trouble?

"Returning to the master, they are two small martial artists from the rivers and lakes who passed by. They refused to give money when they lost, and wanted to renege on their debts." The voice outside the door reported.

"Going out, make more friends and more ways. Since they are not willing to give money, let them eat and drink enough, and send a few women to serve them. Once you find out where they came from, if you really don't have any background, then Send them to dig mountains and knock rocks, and keep them locked up until they die."

Xie Anping said with a cold light in his eyes.

"Yes!"

The people outside the door left in response.

"Let's go, let's go to the door to meet our Lord Lu. If there are no accidents, Qingyang County will be his in a few decades."

Xie Anping got up and smiled.

"That's only if he lives to that time. This Lu Gan is too sharp, and there are still many people in the Zhenfu Department who want him to die."

The beautiful woman in Huang clothes shook her head.

Immediately, the two walked out of the room hand in hand, came to the gate of Tianxian Building, and waited for Lu Gan's arrival.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

The ground shook slightly, and the sound of horseshoes was as urgent as a shower, coming from a distance.

Raising his hand, he saw Lu Gan wearing bronze armor, leading five black horses galloping forward.

After a few breaths, the person arrived in front of Tianxian Tower.

"Lord Lu is so majestic and handsome, it's really admirable. Haha, Xie is being polite." Xie Anping stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Don't dare. Master Xie actually greeted me at the door, I'm really flattered."

Lu Gan got off his horse, smiled slightly, and returned the gift with his hands clasped.

"Lord Lu, there are a few headhunters, please come inside. The chef of Tianxian Building has already prepared delicacies, wine and food for the adults, and they will definitely not disappoint the adults."

The beautiful woman in Huang Chang smiled softly.

"Why is this so embarrassing? We agreed to entertain Mr. Xie, but we bothered Mrs. Yu. Hey, is Tianxian Tower closed today? Why don't you see any other guests?"

Lu Gan led Shen Zishuang and the others out of the building, looked around, and said in surprise.

"For Master Lu, let's close the Tianxian Tower for one day, even if it is closed for ten days, or a hundred days, Master Lu, please!" Xie Anping who was on the side laughed, with a very humble attitude.

Shen Zishuang, Zhou Shi and the others were terrified.

Who would have thought that this handsome middle-aged man, who looked like a rich man, was actually one of the three bullies in Shashui County?

Soon, amidst the pleasantries of Lu Gan and Xie Anping, the group went up to the second floor and entered a luxuriously furnished private room.

Inside the glazed lampshade is a silver jade candle lamp of ten taels of silver, which burns without a hint of smoke.

On the wall, there are even a few luminous pearls embedded, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire box brightly without a trace of darkness.

After some hesitation, Lu Gan took the chief seat.

As the shopkeeper of Tianxianlou, the beautiful woman in Huangshang sat on Lu Gan's right hand side, and Sun Hei, Shen Zishuang, and Zhou Shishi sat on Lu Gan's left side in turn.

Naturally, Xie Anping clung to Mrs. Yu, the beautiful woman in Huang Shang.

As soon as he was seated, a thin man in black clothes walked in from outside the door. He was about 28 years old, neither tall nor short, with sunken eyes, a yellow complexion, and a sinister look in his long and narrow triangular eyes.

Behind him, followed closely by a monk in yellow.

"Bailikuang pays respects to Mr. Lu!"

As soon as the man in black came in, he saluted Lu Gan.

"You don't need to be too polite, please sit down." Lu Gan waved his hand and smiled slightly.

Bailikuang nodded, bowed his hands to Xie Anping again, and sat casually next to Zhou Shisan.The monk in yellow also sat down, twirling the beads without making a sound.

Is this person Baili Kuang?

Shen Zishuang couldn't help but look a few more times.

Today, she read the dossier for a day, and also made up a little bit about the big and small forces in Shashui County, Heyuan County, and Feiyun County, so she knew a lot about it.

This Baili Kuang was born as a disciple of Jianghu, who was kidnapped and trafficked when he was young, and later joined a small sect, and finally led a group of seniors to start a business of medicinal materials.

Steady and steady, after gaining a firm foothold in Feiyun County, they expanded their dental business.

Human teeth, that is, human trafficking, a dirty business that damages Yin and morality.

One can imagine the darkness here!Who is this Bailikuang, and I can get a glimpse of it!

Just as he was thinking, another man in Tsing Yi walked in outside the door.

This person looked to be in his fifties, with silver-gray hair, more than nine feet tall, long earlobes, and a blessed face. He looked like a rich man who was at home, walking birds and teasing dogs every day.

"It turned out that Zhou was the last one to come. I'm sorry. I've met Master Lu, I've seen brother Xie, I've seen brother Baili." As soon as this man came in, he laughed and cupped his hands to apologize to everyone.

It was Zhou Hongyuan.

Now everyone is finally here.

Chapter 24 The Rules

All the people are seated naturally.

After drinking for three rounds, under the harmonious atmosphere of Mrs. Yu and Xie Anping, the atmosphere of the whole private room can be regarded as happy and harmonious, without any disharmony.

Lu Gan is the protagonist of the banquet.

He has been controlling the rhythm, Shen Zishuang, Zhou Shiyi, Zhou Twelve, Zhou Shisan also introduced them one by one.

Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Bailikuang also praised a few words.

Especially Shen Zishuang, they couldn't help showing a little respect when they learned the identity of the daughter of the elder of Jian Yunzong.

Shen Zishuang also had a rough idea of ​​the personalities of Xie Anping and the three of them.

Xie Anping's words were impeccable and smooth, which made people feel quite comfortable.

Baili Kuang has a ruthless face and rarely talks, and generally doesn't make much noise.

As for Zhou Hongyuan, he has a wide range of knowledge, and it seems that because of his background as a scholar, he eats and speaks with a kind of grace and etiquette.

At this moment, Lu Gan put down his wine glass, and asked with a casual smile, "The year is approaching, the business of the three of you is going well this year, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the three of Xie Anping were taken aback.

Xie Anping was the first to react. He laughed, shook his head and said with a smile: "Thanks to your majesty, the world is gradually peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This business is naturally good! Among them, Lord Lu is also responsible for the township governor!"

Before he knew it, he put a high hat on Lu Gan.

Zhou Hongyuan nodded in agreement and said: "It's really good. After so many years of recuperation, my Daxuan national strength is at its peak, and the flowers are blooming like a brocade. We businessmen who keep our own laws can also live a stable life for a few days."

Ha ha.

Hearing this, Shen Zishuang couldn't help sneering in her heart.

A law-abiding businessman?This is burning straw paper on the grave, cheating ghosts!

"My medicine business is also good." At this moment, Baili Kuang narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"Three." Lu Gan glanced at the three of Xie Anping, poured himself wine and said with a smile, "As local associations and representatives of public opinion, you should know what kind of business I'm talking about."

After all, he slowly raised his glass and took a sip.

The room was instantly quiet.

The atmosphere solidified.

At this time, Mrs. Yu, who was sitting next to Lu Gan, came out to smooth things over: "Lord Lu, we are all ordinary people. Under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate and Lord Lu, how can we do some illegal activities? Why don't you, my family?" Call a few musicians to come in and sing and play for Mr. Lu?"

Say it and clap your hands lightly.

"No need."

Lu Gan looked cold, turned the jade cup in his hand, and said to himself: "Xie Anping, you have a total of 230 large and small gambling stalls. After a year, you can earn about 800 taels of gold. There are 53 flower houses. 500 taels of gold, plus the rake in the tournament arena, cockfighting arena, dog fighting arena, and other miscellaneous activities, this year's income should be around 8000 taels of gold. I don't know if I counted it right?"

There was a sound, and with a snap, the jade cup in Xie Anping's hand had been crushed, and the wine splashed onto his clothes.

His face was as cold as ice.

Obviously, Lu Gan's words went straight to his heart, digging out his deepest secrets.

Shen Zishuang, Sun Hei and the others opened their eyes slightly, their faces full of shock.

They didn't expect that Xie Anping could earn so much in just three counties? 8000 taels of gold!It is already comparable to the tax revenue of Qingyang County for a year!

Also shocked were Baili Kuang and Zhou Hongyuan.

They looked at Xie Anping with envy, greed, and an irrepressible schadenfreude.

At this moment, Lu Gan's eyes turned and fell on Zhou Hongyuan: "Zhou Hongyuan, your ferry is coming, and the shipping fee this year should be 800 taels of gold. The mine has opened mountains and quarried rocks, and the income is a little more, it is 900 taels." Two, but if you smuggle private salt, tea, and secretly pick river sand to resell, you will earn more, about 4000 taels of gold. If you add it up and round it up, you should earn more than 7000 taels this year."

In an instant, Zhou Hongyuan's expression froze, and he looked at Lu Gan in disbelief, with overwhelming shock in his heart.

This number is unparalleled!It was exactly the same as what he estimated a few days ago!

Seeing Zhou Hongyuan's expression, Xie Anping and Bailikuang were shocked again.

Did Lu Gan guess right again?

"Baili Kuang, it's your turn. But, it's hard for you to guess." Lu Gan twirled his jade cup, frowned, and said, "Your medicinal material business is very hot on the surface, and the income on the book is about 5000 taels of gold, but you It’s really hard to estimate the secret human teeth business. Let’s make a round for now, let’s take 6000 taels of gold.”

Baili Kuang's expression suddenly became gloomy, his long and narrow eyes narrowed into slits.

The atmosphere in the whole private room was very depressing.

Shen Zishuang had the feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and the black cloud was covering the top, so she couldn't help holding the sword at her waist.

"What does Master Lu mean by that?"

At this time, Xie Anping asked slowly.

The corners of Lu Gan's mouth curled up, and he sneered, "I understand what I mean. Don't you guys understand? There is an extra meat-eating tiger in the forest, so naturally we have to re-establish the rules. No rules, no circle, the three should be very close." Be clear."

How can this be a rule?This is clearly the lion's big mouth, ready to ask for money!

Xie Anping, Zhou Hongyuan, and Bailikuang's expressions suddenly sank, and they looked at each other a few times, but none of them said anything.

If they didn't speak, Lu Gan naturally wouldn't speak either.

He just twirled the jade cup in his hand, as if he wanted to play with a flower.
