Wuxia Novelist Chapter 6: Ask for salary stickers
Not far forward.
Lu Si suddenly saw a person squatting in a corner, hugging a small table, lying on it and writing quickly, surrounded by several people.
Lu Si was curious, stepped forward to have a look, and couldn't help laughing.
But I saw that the man was holding the nib in his hand, and the writing was exactly what he was talking about today, "Flying Fox in Snow Mountain", and there were books of "Flying Fox in Snow Mountain" beside him.
Seeing this, Lu Si didn't know that this was a pirated version.
This can't help but make him a little speechless, he never thought that there would be pirated copies in this world so soon.
It is true that where there is demand, there is supply.
Lu Si felt emotional.
Looking at the man writing furiously, he asked.
"My man, I don't know how to sell this 'Snow Mountain Flying Fox'?"
Without raising his head, the man said, "A copy of 40 Wen, absolutely authentic and reliable, first pay the money and then get the book."
That's pretty cool.
Lu Si smiled, threw down forty cents, took a copy and opened it to check.
I saw that there were quite a lot of content above, but most of them were patchwork. It seems that this man didn't listen to everything, and even if he listened to everything, he might not be able to remember it, so he could only fill in randomly.
In addition, there are many typos and traces of scribbles, which made Lu Si shake his head, no wonder it only sold for forty coins.
But it's not bad when you think about it, after all, most people are content with being able to watch it.
However, when the books in the bookstore come out, the business here will probably plummet. Lu Si looked at this man and couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy.
After putting down the book, Lu Si did not continue to stroll, but walked towards the inn.
As soon as he returned to the inn, Lu Si realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
In the inn, I don't know when there were a few more men in black clothes with a black tiger embroidered on them.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this Fulai Inn to be able to do this."
"No, this dish is really good."
"Hey, the more prosperous this Fulai Inn is, the better it is for us."
"Of course! But it all depends on Brother Zhang's good management, otherwise how can this Fulai Inn be where it is today?"
While talking, a few of them suddenly complimented one of the men with a swollen face.
Hearing this, the man laughed out loud, and he was quite satisfied with it.
This person's name is Zhang San, and he is a member of the Black Tiger Gang.
The Black Tiger Gang is the number one gang in Qing'an County, and its leader, Peng Feihu, is famous and powerful. It is said that he is not under Bai Luanxiong of the Yuanwei Escort.
There are five other masters in the gang, known as the "Five Tigers on the Mountain", and their strength is also extraordinary, so no one in Qing'an County would dare to provoke them.
On the side, Zhou Yu and his buddy stood by, looking angry, but they dared not speak out.
"What's going on?"
Seeing a few people, Lu Si frowned slightly.
"Master, you are back."
When Zhou Yu saw Lu Si, his face relaxed, and he hurried over, whispering.
"Master, they are members of the Black Tiger Gang, and now they are here to ask for a salary."
Black Tiger Gang?
Looking for a new post?
When Lu Si heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.
After traveling for half a month, how could he not know the name of the Black Tiger Gang.
As for the so-called salary subsidy, it is the fee that the Black Tiger Gang collects from each family every month in the name of salary subsidy.
It is said to be a salary subsidy, but it is actually just a protection fee.
Even so, no one dared not to hand over, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
Although in Qing'an County, the Black Tiger Gang would not dare to do anything excessive even though they were very courageous, but there are a hundred ways behind the scenes to make it hard for you.
Besides, the money is not too much, so everyone should buy peace.
Therefore, even the government turned a blind eye and closed one eye, not wanting to cause any trouble.
Now that Yuedong is approaching, it is time to pay the salary.
Lu Si understood what was going on and nodded slightly.
"Leave this matter to me."
Walking forward, Lu Si smiled at them and said, "It turned out to be some friends from the Black Tiger Gang. I don't know what wind brought them here."
Lu Si's attitude is quite polite, after all, he has just traveled here not long ago, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
Furthermore, now that the inn has just started to improve, once he offends the Black Tiger Gang, it will not do him any good.
However, he can still afford some silver taels.
"I heard that Mr. Lu's name is not small recently, it is really impressive."
Zhang San glanced at Lu Si, and said with a smile on his face.
"It's all about your love, it's not a reputation."
Lu Si smiled lightly.
Zhang San turned his head to look around, and said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu's business is so good recently, I'm afraid he made a fortune."
Lu Si's eyes flickered slightly, and he laughed out loud: "Zhou Yu, go and get thirty taels of silver!"
"Okay, master."
Zhou Yu nodded quickly, and immediately took out thirty taels of silver from behind the counter and handed it to Lu Si.
Lu Si took it and handed the silver tael to the other party: "Brothers, I invite you, a small gesture is not a respect."
This surprised Zhang Sansan, and he looked at Lu Si meaningfully.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so polite after not seeing you for so many days."
Lu Si smiled lightly, and naturally knew what the other party meant.
Before transmigrating, this predecessor was very stubborn. He consciously read the books of sages, so how could he give the other party a salary.
But after another severe beating, he became more honest and obediently paid his salary.
But since then, the inn's business has plummeted, and it may not be because of the Black Tiger Gang's manipulation.
Although Lu Si knew it well, he didn't intend to avenge his predecessor because of the soul piercing.
"It seems that Mr. Lu is thinking about it, which makes Zhang look at him with admiration."
Seeing Lu Si not talking, Zhang San smiled playfully.
"However, Mr. Lu will give this little money, I'm afraid he is sending a beggar!"
Zhang San shook the silver in his hand, his face suddenly changed.
Crack!
Putting the silver upside down on the table, he looked at Lu Si with a sinister smile.
The rest of the people were also sneering.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Si frowned.
In the past, the salary subsidy was only twenty taels of silver, but now I have given a full thirty taels of silver ~IndoMTL.com~ It has already given the other party enough face, these people are still too few?
"What do you mean?"
One of them sneered and said, "Just thirty taels and you want to send us away. Do you really think we are beggars?"
"I heard that your inn has made a lot of money recently. If you don't have Brother Zhang's help, do you think you can make so much money? Of course you have to give more."
Another younger brother said shamelessly.
Lu Si was amused when he heard that, what does the business of his inn have to do with the Black Tiger Gang?
But at this moment, he also understood that these people who dare to love have too little money.
"Oh, how many do you want?"
Lu Si asked without changing his expression.
Before Zhang San could open his mouth, the little brother beside him spoke first.
"Look, your business has been doing well recently, let me give you fifty taels this time!"
Fifty taels?
As soon as the words came out, Lu Si's expression did not change, but his heart became cold.
His inn is only a few dozen taels of silver a day, and these people open their mouths for fifty taels. Do they really think that their inn is made of gold?
At the same time, I was also puzzled, wondering why the Black Tiger Gang dared to speak so loudly.
Although the Black Tiger Gang had asked for salary subsidies in the past, they had never demanded such a forceful one.
"Master!"
Zhou Yu next to him blushed with anger and glared at them.
Lu Si waved his hand, stopped Zhou Yu's words, and said calmly.
"I'm afraid you are joking. Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. I am afraid that my small shop can't get it out."
"Mr. Lu, do you know the fate of rejecting my Black Tiger Gang?"
Zhang San's face turned cold, revealing a ferocious look.
Seeing the other party like this, Lu Si couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"This is really troublesome...."
