After Du Qi left the county office, he did not return to the island. Instead, he stayed in the city. Du Qi spent some money to find a residence and bought it. Then, he stayed in Fushan County for the time being.
After the group settled down, Mordor and the others also stayed in the courtyard.
They did not follow Du Qi to the county office. After Du Qi left the county office and settled down in the city, they came out from the shadows and stayed in the courtyard to ensure Du Qi's safety.
The group settled down.
Du Qi paid attention to information about Great Qin.
He had obtained some information from Zhou Qing, but it was far from enough.
It was not enough for him to understand everything about Great Qing.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, Zhou Qing came twice to visit Du Qi. He told him about the shop that he had chosen for Du Qi and that Du Qi was doing business. The county office would give him some preferential treatment.
The shop had already been set up and was being renovated.
After the renovation was completed, they would start doing business.
Normally, Du Qi did not go out, but in the past two days, he had gained a clear understanding of Great Qin's situation and Fu Shan County's situation.
On this day, at around nine in the morning.
While Du Qi was resting in his residence, a servant hurriedly came to his room and reported, "Young Master, Mr. Luo requests for you to go immediately. Someone is causing trouble at the shop. Mr. Luo is currently stabilizing the situation and preventing trouble from happening. "
Du Qi said, "Got it."
Now, Du Qi addressed outsiders as Young Master.
This was to avoid any loopholes.
Du Qi immediately got someone to prepare a carriage and brought Mordor to the shop.
Du Qi's shop was called Great Xia Salt. However, the signboard was not up yet, and the interior was still being renovated. When Du Qi and the others arrived, there were countless people gathered around the shop. All of them were commoners who had come to watch the show.
These people all looked like they were gossiping.
Whether it was Xia Xia or Great Qin, their nature of watching the show was similar.
The commoners loved to watch a good show.
Du Qi entered with his men.
At this moment, Luo Binwang and the troublemaker were still confronting each other.
When Luo Binwang saw Du Qi, he went forward and said, "Young Master, the leader is called Lu Xing. He is from Fushan County's Mountain Hall. The Big Mountain Clan was a gang in Fushan County that controlled the underground forces. Now that we've opened a shop, they want to collect protection fees. To put it nicely, it was to collect maintenance fees. If it was Young Master Qian, it would be fine. But these people are asking for a thousand taels of silver, and in the future, they will have to pay a hundred taels of silver every month. "
"As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If the amount is small, then so be it."
"The problem is that there are too many of them."
"Such a condition is extortion. I will argue with them, but I don't agree."
Luo Binwang said, "Lv Xing said that even if the matter was brought to the county government, they wouldn't be afraid. Now that they have the guts to collect taxes, it means that they have nothing to fear. "
Du Qi's gaze landed on Lv Xing after he finished listening.
He sized him up carefully.
Lv Xing's skin was a little dark brown, and his hair was black. He was extremely tall and sturdy, about 190 centimeters in height. With such a height and bone structure, he was not considered short in the Great Qin Dynasty. He was considered tall.
Lv Xing said, "Kid, you're the one in charge, right? Let me tell you, the conditions have changed. It's not a thousand taels of silver, but three thousand taels of silver. Now, you have to pay three thousand taels of silver, and pay a hundred taels of silver every month. Otherwise, don't even think about opening a shop. "
The people around started talking.
They were all watching a show.
They felt that what was happening was really interesting. After all, the people from the Mountain Hall were used to doing whatever they wanted in Fushan County. Even the county government's magistrate, Zhou Qing, could not do anything about the Mountain Hall.
The reason was simple. There were many ruffians in the Mountain Hall.
The government could not deal with the ruffians unless they had a strong enough force to suppress them. The problem was that Fushan County was not that strong. Moreover, the ruffians in the Mountain Hall were all very fierce. If the government tried to suppress them, they would run around and kill the people.
Zhou Qing was also in a difficult position.
When Du Qi heard Lv Xing's words, his eyes turned cold. He said in a deep voice, "Luo Binwang, I'll teach you a lesson today. When you meet unreasonable people, it's useless to reason with them. The simplest method was to forcefully suppress them. As long as you suppress them, nothing will be a problem. "
Luo Binwang said, "I'll remember that."
He blamed himself a little.
When he faced these people, his first thought was that it would be difficult to resolve the matter if it blew up. It would affect their foothold in Fushan County and affect the overall situation.
He did not expect to disappoint Du Qi.
He did not handle it well.
Du Qi looked at Lv Xing and said indifferently, "In the blink of an eye, you went from a thousand taels of silver to three thousand taels of silver. Why don't you just rob me? Not to mention thirty thousand taels of silver, I'll give you a mountain of gold and silver. "
Lv Xing said coldly, "Kid, you offended the Mountain Hall. You won't be able to bear the consequences. Once the Hall Master makes a move, three thousand taels of silver won't be enough to solve the problem. I'm only asking you to pay now. Once you anger the Hall Master, you'll have to pay with your life. Kid, don't blame me for not warning you. "
"I have plenty of money," said Du Qi. But I won't give it to you. If you want to stir up trouble, if you want to cause trouble, go ahead. No matter what you want, I, Du Qi, will accompany you to the end. "
Lv Xing clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. He said directly, "Looks like you're really courting death."
Du Qi said, "I am courting death. If you have the ability, go ahead."
Du Qi's attitude was very strong.
This scene fell into the eyes of the surrounding people. Their eyes were filled with anticipation. They were angry with the Mountain Hall but did not dare to say anything. They did not dare to provoke the Mountain Hall.
Now that there was someone who could go against the Mountain Hall, they were very excited.
They were looking forward to it.
They hoped that Du Qi could resist and even suppress the Mountain Hall. Only then would the people of Fushan County not continue to be oppressed.
"Go!"
Lv Xing glanced around.
A bunch of unruly people.
He cursed in his heart, then watched as his subordinates rushed towards Du Qi. When the dozen people brought by Lv Xing rushed forward and were about to smash it, Du Qi casually took a step back.
After taking a step back, Mordor stepped forward.
The rest of the guards also followed closely behind.
These people were all elites brought by Du Qi. They were all soldiers in the army. One by one, they stepped forward and struck out with their fists. They were clean and efficient, and their speed was extremely fast. One could only hear the sound of collision.
In a short time, everyone was knocked to the ground.
When Lv Xing saw this scene, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The people he brought were not weak.
They were all elites.
There were more than ten of them.
But when he looked carefully, there were only four people, but in the blink of an eye, all of his people were knocked to the ground. This was not simple.
