Xian Ao

Chapter 21 The growth of a man

When I arrived in front of Yanzhi Building, there were nearly a hundred people watching, some were shop assistants, some were local residents, and some were guests in the building. Some wanted to see what the young leader looked like, and some came to see how much protection money Yanzhi Building had given this time, so that they could decide how much protection money to pay in the future.

Yu Zecheng came to Yanzhi Building and shouted:

"Yu Zecheng, the leader of Yuqiao Street, the Black Tiger Hall of the Tiger Gang, Shanhu Branch, is here to pay respects and collect fees."

Shi Fangwu walked out from the opposite side, clasped his fists and replied:

"The Yanzhi Building in Shanzhu City pays fees according to the law."

Then he waved his hand, and a servant brought out a plate of silver, a full thirty ingots of silver, emitting white light. This is all the silver from the Tang Treasury, one ingot of silver is ten taels, and this plate is three hundred taels of silver.

All the people around sighed. No one had ever thought that the Shi family would take out so much silver. According to the convention, taking out 25 taels was a big price in the past, which was a big honor. Now taking out 300 taels of silver at once was too much of a honor.

Even Yu Zecheng didn't expect that although he had just finished drinking in Yanzhilou last night, Yu Zecheng had never asked Shi Fangwu how much silver he would give. In his mind, he thought that he could give as much as he wanted, as long as he gave money and some face. These days, he and his men came here to drink when he had nothing to do, and never paid the bill. The wine must be worth more than 100 taels of silver.

I didn't expect the Shi family to pay so much money. This was completely for his own face, no, it should be said that it was for Bai Hexi's face. Yu Zecheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he clasped his fists to thank Shi Fangwu, with gratitude in his heart. Then he took the tray and handed it to the master's men.

Many people around began to leave quickly. They were all shop assistants in Yuqiao Street. They went back to report and tell the shopkeeper how much protection fee Yanzhilou paid so as to measure the amount of silver they should pay.

After Yu Zecheng and the other two finished the handover, four servants appeared on Shi Fangwu's side, all holding huge firecrackers, and then set them off. Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city. This was Shi Tianlong's strongest support for Yu Zecheng. Look, my Yanzhilou has paid three hundred taels. Who of you dares not to pay?

Yu Zecheng returned to the base with his men. His men swarmed out and went to various shops to collect money. They collected money according to the previous charging standards of the Wild Wolf Gang, but the method of collecting money was different from before.

The disciples who collected money this time were serious and said nothing. When they entered the store, no matter how the shopkeeper flattered them, how they complained and begged, they just didn't say a word. They left if they were paid, and they left if they were not paid. However, they were full of murderous aura and expressionless. It was self-evident what they would do after leaving.

All the shopkeepers saw this and thought to themselves, I better pay it. Yanzhilou, with such a big power, has paid 300 taels. My fee is nothing. I won't be the first to pay. I'll see which one of them can avoid paying, and then I'll talk about it next month.

Half a day later, all the disciples returned. Thirteen restaurants, thirty-four shops, seven hotels, and two rice shops all paid protection fees. This time, the full amount was collected, a total of 1,337 taels. Among them, the coffin shop sold 17 coffins last month, so it earned so much silver.

This is still short of the regular silver from the three villages outside. There was no transaction in the free market last month, so there was no penny. Yu Zecheng handed over 700 taels of this money to the helm, but in fact he only paid 600 taels. The other 100 taels were the regular silver for the disciples, which was directly deducted, so Yu Zecheng had 737 taels of silver left in his hands.

Yu Zecheng personally led people to the branch to deliver silver, and Shi Tianyun personally accepted it. Yu Zecheng was the first among all the deacons to deliver it, and Shi Tianyun praised Yu Zecheng endlessly.

After returning to the base, Yu Zecheng immediately announced the distribution of regular silver. Each disciple should have received four taels of silver, but Yu Zecheng added one tael of bonus, and there were also wages for the errands hired by the base, a total of three hundred taels of silver. All the disciples received five taels of silver, and they couldn't help but smile. Slowly, news came that the disciples in other territories and streets did not have such high regular silver, and some even couldn't receive protection fees on the territories, which made everyone envious.

After deducting the monthly regular money, plus the arrears of the warrior uniforms, leaving the purchase costs of everyone's meals this month, and other various prepayments, Yu Zecheng still had 420 taels of silver left.

Yu Zecheng immediately took out two hundred taels of silver, wrapped it in a red envelope, and announced that a banquet would be held today, and all disciples would go to Yanzhi Building to consume, and this red envelope would be used as today's expenses.

People gave you face and three hundred taels of silver, but you put all of it in your pocket without taking out a penny. That's too rude. You have to give back at least. You are good, I am good, and everyone is good.

So Yu Zecheng brought a large group of people to Yanzhilou to celebrate and returned the red envelope to Yanzhilou. They were greeted by Shi Fangwu, who happily took the red envelope and did not refuse. He no longer treated Yu Zecheng to a free banquet as before. He just smiled slightly, and everything was self-evident.

Recently, Yu Zecheng has been particularly fond of eating at Yanzhilou. In addition to the beautiful environment, delicious food and good service attitude, there is another reason. Yu Zecheng is gradually attracted by the girl who accompanies him.

The one who attracted him was Yudie. Le Ling is innocent and lively, sometimes a little willful, and sometimes like a little sister. This set of methods is a sure kill for adults, but Yu Zecheng has a general feeling about her. But Yudie is different. Yudie is always so quiet. She has respect for Yu Zecheng. In her eyes, Yu Zecheng is not just a boy, but a man, a real man.

Although Yu Zecheng is mature in his work and has a lot of scheming in his heart, he is still young. No matter who praises or criticizes him, they will mention his age. "At such a young age, a hero is born in youth." "Little brat, what does he know?" Although he doesn't say it, Yu Zecheng still cares about this.

However, Yudie doesn't care about this at all. She regards Yu Zecheng as a real man. This kind of spiritual respect is more important than anything else, and this kind of satisfaction is more attractive than anything else. Gradually, Yu Zecheng likes the feeling of having Ledie around him. Yu Zecheng vaguely feels that there is a special smell on Yudie. As long as Yudie is around him, the blood energy in his body will accelerate and he will feel comfortable.

In this way, every time, Yudie and Leling accompany him alone. Yu Zecheng is still a teenager and has not yet opened his mind to love affairs. Although he learns to hug, touch hands and drink together from others, he is actually just imitating others. He doesn't understand the infinite wonderful feelings at all. For him, it is just a social event, just to show that he is not a virgin, and there is no other erotic feeling.

In this way, Yu Zecheng liked to dine at Yanzhilou very much, and this time he spent his own money and was even more confident. At the banquet, Yudie and Leling accompanied him, and he gave each of them ten taels of silver as a reward.

When Yu Zecheng handed the silver to the two, Leling smiled and took the silver, turned back and kissed him to express her gratitude.

Yudie frowned and said:

"I don't want this money, you keep it, you are just starting now, there will be plenty of places to spend money later, don't spend it on us."

Yu Zecheng laughed and said:

"This is a little gift from me, don't be so polite."

Yudie smiled, took it, and said:

"Okay, I accept it. In fact, I accompany you because I think you will be a great hero in the future."

Yudie whispered in his ear again:

"Come on, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Then she took Yu Zecheng's hand, took him to the back building, and took him to her boudoir on the second floor behind her.

Yudie's boudoir is very delicate, warmly decorated, and very comfortable.

Yu Zecheng entered the room, looked around, not knowing what Yudie was going to say to him. Who knew that when he looked back, Yudie had already started to undress and tie her belt, which made people infatuated.

Yudie said slowly:

"Thank you for your kindness to me, but I am just an ordinary person, a prostitute. I don't ask for what will happen in the future, but I hope that you will be happy today. I hope you will remember Yudie and don't forget me."

Everything is self-evident. Half an hour later, (200 words deleted) Yu Zecheng turned around and left and went downstairs, saying:

"I'll go down first, the brothers are still waiting. I will come to see you tomorrow. I will never forget you."

Yudie smiled and nodded. When Yu Zecheng left the boudoir, he heard Yudie playing the piano and singing:

"Since you don't look back, why worry. Since we are not destined, why do we need to swear. Today's things are like water without a trace. Tomorrow, you will be a stranger." (To commemorate the long-lost memories, the immortal game.)
