I turned the cold palace into a paradise

"Hey! New here!" When Yun Yue and the other two were discussing how to decorate the shop, a few men who looked to be in their teens or twenties walked into the shop in a nonchalant manner.

"Well, what's going on? Who are you?" Yun Yue asked the people who came with ill intentions.

Several men looked at the three of them, an old man, a woman, and a young man, and made up their minds.

The leading man raised his head and said in a very arrogant manner: "We are from the Chamber of Commerce. Do you know the rules here? If you want to do business here, you must pay protection fees first."

"Chamber of Commerce? What Chamber of Commerce? How come I don't know it?" Yun Yue raised her eyebrows.

"Don't worry about it. If you want to survive on this street, you have to pay! Otherwise, we won't be responsible if anything happens! Besides, you won't be able to run your shop!" the man threatened.

"Oh? Really? Have they all paid?" Yun Yue pointed at the people who were looking out of the other shops nearby. When they saw them turning their heads to look at them, they immediately turned around and pretended to be busy.

"Yes! They have all paid!" the man was extremely proud.

"Is that so? Fine, but our shop isn't open yet, so we won't hand it over now. How about this, you guys come back tomorrow. I still have a lot of things to rely on you for! I also want to know in detail about the... rules you mentioned." As she spoke, Yun Yue took out five taels of silver and threw it to the young man in the lead.

"This is our hard-earned money, please come tomorrow!"

The man happily took it, and his eyes turned friendly when he looked at Yunyue. "Okay! You are quite sensible! I will definitely come again tomorrow! I will talk to you in detail!"

After saying that, the group of people turned around and left in a lively manner, and went to another shop.

Yu Xiyun looked at their backs and asked Yunyue in confusion: "Ayue, why did you give them money? They look like thugs."

Doctor Ge stroked his beard as if he had guessed something, and shook his head helplessly: "Young Master, you are amazing!"

Yu Xiyun looked at this and that in confusion.

Yun Yue couldn't help but smile wickedly and explained to Yu Xiyun: "If I don't give it to them, what if they don't come tomorrow?"

The shopkeeper of the shop next door saw that the men had gone far away, so he quietly came over and said angrily: "Master Yue, why are you still giving them money? These hooligans are never satisfied. A bunch of young and strong people don't find a good job, but idle around here every day! You are the prefect, arrest them all!"

"Have they ever done anything like beating or killing people?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "No, they don't have the guts to do that. They just come to collect protection money and eat when they have nothing to do."

"Did they really protect him?"

"Protection! What kind of trouble can happen in the city? They are the most annoying ones. Without them, there would be nothing to worry about!" After saying this, the shopkeeper slapped his mouth twice.

"I've said something stupid again! Don't mind it, don't mind it."

"It's okay, thank you, boss. I'll take care of these hooligans."

"Really?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise.

"Of course, you wait a bit, but keep it a secret. I'm afraid they might get wind of it and not dare to come tomorrow."

"No, no, Master Yue, are you fishing?" the shopkeeper said with admiration.

On the other side, the thugs were taking the silver and preparing to go to eat.

A young man who stuttered asked, "Boss, why does that young... young... boy look so familiar to me?"

"Hey! Stutter! You have changed your personality! Usually you think pretty girls are familiar to you, why do you think a boy is familiar to you today? It can't be because the boy is prettier than the girl, right? You can't be..." Gan Man, who was called the boss, deliberately hugged his arm and took two steps back.

This made the stutterer even more stuttering: "Big...big brother! Don't...talk nonsense! I...I'm not as good as Long Yangzhi...!" As he said this, he touched his arm and felt a little disgusted.

"Hahahahaha... you stutter! I think maybe we met him on the road sometime. After all, good-looking people all look the same! Don't worry about it! But coming to think of it, this kid looks good today, and he is generous! Let's go! Today, I, the boss, will take you to eat some meat!" Gan Man said happily as he weighed the silver in his hand.

"Let's eat meat!!!" everyone cheered.

.

The next day, Gan Man and his brothers arrived at the shop early and waited, hoping to get more money from this sucker.

As a result, Yun Yue, the wronged one, did not wait for him, but instead waited for Chu Ren who came with his troops.

Chu Ren had already found out everything, and he recognized a few people at a glance: "Oh, it's you guys? You are so bold that you dare to collect protection money from Master Yue! Come on, take them all away!"

Gan Man felt dizzy at this moment. What the hell? Master Yue? So Jie Ba felt familiar because he was Master Yue? Oh my god!!! It's over!!! Everyone in this city knows Master Yue, the killer of the Godly Moon. Even the prefect dared to kill him. He was a rebel!

A few people wanted to escape, but Chu Ren's men drew their knives and they all stood still and dared not move.

Yun Yue from the prefectural government heard Ling Yao say that the gangsters had been brought back, so she said, "First, throw them in jail for two days to scare them. Then let Chu Ren ask them if there are any other gangsters. Catch them all and throw them in jail for two days to let them calm down."

"Okay." Lingyao has followed Yunyue for so long now, she can understand Yunyue's thoughts very well.

Song Luo was a little confused: "Master, do you want to subdue this group of hooligans again? But these hooligans are idle and lazy, and I don't know what they can do. It's a waste of food."

Yun Yue smiled and said earnestly: "You must remember that as long as they are human, they can create value. As long as they are assigned the right positions, even the most incompetent people can make full use of their remaining energy."

In prison.

The stutterer said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Big...Big Brother, I remembered who that...that man was. He...he...he is Master Yue..."

Gan Man slapped him on the forehead: "Do I need you to tell me? In this situation, who doesn't know that he is Master Yue? Why didn't you think of him yesterday?"

The stutterer shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

Gan Man leaned against the railing, regretting his decision. Why was he so unlucky? He encountered this King of Hell on his first order after the Chinese New Year. Was it his fault that he didn't go to the temple to pray?

Thinking about how they killed Prefect Lin and everyone around him without batting an eyelid, I felt that I would end up like this as well. A mixture of emotions welled up in my heart.

Looking at the brothers in the prison, he said with guilt: "I'm sorry, brothers, I have implicated you..."

"What did you say, brother? We share happiness and difficulties together!"

"It's our bad luck, it's not your fault, big brother!"

"Yes! We share the good fortunes together, and the difficulties together!"

"I just don't know what Aunt Gan will do..."

Gan Man thought of his mother and could not help but lower his head to hide the tears in his eyes.

"Indeed, you are in the same boat and are in jail together." Chu Ren walked out from the corner and knocked on the door of the cell.

Gan Man and others couldn't help but feel nervous.

“Hey, I have a question for you. Please answer honestly. If you have a good attitude…” Chu Ren was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Sir, just ask me! I will tell you everything I know!" Gan Man said hastily, wanting to buy a chance for himself and his brothers.

"Oh, you can still talk big! Okay, I want to ask if there are other thugs like you who collect protection fees on other streets?"

Gan Man was a little unhappy when he heard himself being called a gangster, but he still smiled and answered honestly.

"Yes, yes, yes! They are all in West Street and South Street..." Humph, those two groups of people wanted to grab my territory before, and bullied my younger brothers. Now that I and others have been arrested, I have to let them come in to accompany me!

Gan Man and his younger brothers not only confessed the truth, but also revealed the whereabouts of those people.

Chu Ren nodded in satisfaction and said to the prison boss, "These guys are quite sensible. Give them something good for lunch."

Gan Man's younger brother held Gan Man's arm and said in despair: "Brother, are you going to give us our last meal?"

Woohoo… I regret it, I really regret it! Why is it so risky to be a gangster these days?
