The two of them walked southward along Hongfu Tower, turned around an alley, and walked for a while before arriving at the carriage house.
As soon as the two appeared, many people surrounded them.
"You two, look at my horses. Look how strong they are!"
"Look at my house. The carriage is given to you for free."
"My carriage is cheap and I can save a lot of money compared to other families."
These people surrounded Mu Yan and Hai Ming, instantly reminding Mu Yan of his previous sales days, when he had to focus on customers in order to improve performance.
Mu Yan prepared to look at each house patiently, but before he could finish looking at each house, a group of people from outside rushed in, shouting.
"Hurry up and take out the protection money. I haven't given you this month's protection money yet."
A dark-skinned man with a scar on his face said.
After the man finished speaking, the gang behind him was also shouting, and they walked to each house in an orderly manner, threatening:
"Bring it quickly"
"Hurry up and hand it over, or your carriage will be smashed."
…
The carriage owner next to Mu Yan reluctantly handed over the money.
"Aren't these people in charge?" Mu Yan asked.
"Girl, you don't know that they have been collecting protection fees in this generation. Some people have sued them before, but nothing happened to them." The owner of the carriage next to him said helplessly.
At this time, a child's sharp cry came. Mu Yan looked around and saw a middle-aged man arguing with the bandits.
"Why are you crying, Noisy, pay the money quickly." After saying that, the scarred man kicked the little boy.
"Uncle, we really have no money. We are waiting to sell the carriage for the child's mother to bury."
"I don't care about your housework. I only want money. If you don't hand over the money, the carriage will be smashed and I will take the child away. Maybe I can sell it for a better price."
"You guys have gone too far to deceive others. Sooner or later you will be punished. Let my child go."
"Let go? Are you daydreaming?" After saying that, the scarred man threw the 10-year-old boy into the hands of the gangster, picked up the stick in the gangster's hand, and pretended to hit the middle-aged man. .
But at this moment, the stick that was going down stopped in mid-air.
The man with the scar took a look and said, "Hey, such a little girl dares to block my stick. Doesn't she want to live?" After saying that, he hit the stick down with a strong force on his wrist.
But no matter how hard I hit him, the stick didn't move at all.
In the past, Mu Yan wouldn't have been able to fight back at all. Since he started practicing the technique, Mu Yan has used his inner strength to resist.
On the surface, Mu Yanyun looked calm, but she was the only one who knew that she could not hold on for much longer.
"Master, for my sake, please let this father and son go."
"How much is your face worth? But I think you look pretty good. Why don't you just obey me and I'll let them both go." After the scarred man finished speaking, he put away the stick and looked sultry. He looked like he was ready to reach out and touch Mu Yan's little face.
"You bastard, how dare you think about the frivolous sister Yan'er? You need to get through me first." Hai Ming quickly pulled Mu Yan behind him and said.
"You come out of nowhere, and you dare to ruin my good deeds. Why don't you go and find out who in this area dares to offend me, Pang Dao."
People around them were also trying to persuade Mu Yan and Hai Ming.
"Girl, stop meddling in other people's business and leave quickly. You can't afford to offend Pang Dao."
"Pang Dao is a well-known local snake of this generation. He is a ruthless person. Be careful of getting into trouble."
"It's over, it's over, this girl is looking for death..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I will take care of this matter today." Mu Yan said to the people around him.
In fact, Mu Yan also thought: It's time for you to practice and try the power of "Dog Beating Stick Technique".
"Good girl, you have courage," Pang Dao said to Mu Yan.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's have a fight. If I win, you have to let these two men go, return the protection fee you just collected, and promise never to collect protection fees from this horse and carriage shop again. If I lose, It’s up to you.”
"That's such a big statement. If I win, I will charge double the protection fee for this carriage house. You, come with me." Pang Dao said.
"No problem." After Mu Yan said that, he picked up the wooden stick and did a favor.
And the people around said
"It's over, it's over, I won't sell this carriage."
"I have to leave quickly, maybe it will affect me soon."
"I see that the girl is quite energetic. Is she some hidden figure?"
Hai Ming advised Mu Yan on the side: "Sister Yan'er, I'll take care of the fight. You hide behind me and sneak away when I'm not paying attention."
Mu Yan felt Hai Ming's concern and said, "Brother Hai Ming, you are no match for him. Believe me, I will definitely win. Just watch from the side."
After saying that, he pushed Haiming aside.
"You're done or not, finish it early and I'll go home to hug you and kiss you..." Pang Dao narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yan up and down.
Mu Yan didn't say anything, and struck Pang Dao on the head with swift force, hitting the dog's head with the stick. Pang Dao was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and blocked the powerful blow with his stick.
Then, Mu Yan tilted the stick towards Pang Dao's back.
"It's so powerful. It seems I have to use my special move." Pang Dao said fiercely.
It was too late, but soon, Pang Dao hit Mu Yan on the shoulder with a fierce blow. Mu Yan immediately counterattacked, using the last move of the dog-beating stick technique, "There is no dog in the world", and saw this At this moment, bursts of dust flew up around him, Mu Yan's small figure was surrounded by Pang Dao, and countless stick shadows hit Pang Dao's body.
When the flying dust settled, Mu Yan was seen standing with a wooden stick, like a majestic general, with a heroic posture. However, Pang Dao was lying on the ground, curled up, and yelled: "What are you guys doing? Why don't you come and help me?"
The minions hurriedly ran to Pang Dao and helped him up. Pang Dao glanced at Mu Yan fiercely and said, "I admit defeat this time. You wait for me next time."
After saying that, Pang Dao, with the help of his minions, prepared to leave the horse and carriage shop.
"Wait a minute, there's something you didn't do."
"Here. Don't let me meet you next time." Pang Dao threw the protection money he just collected to Mu Yan and hurried away.
Haiming came to Mu Yan's side, looked at her from head to toe, and asked, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
"Brother Haiming, I'm fine. I just got hit on the shoulder and it hurts a little. I'll just go to the drug store to buy some medicine later."
Brother Haiming still looked at Mu Yan with a worried expression. Mu Yan quickly changed the subject, "Brother Haiming, please divide the money among everyone."
"Thank you girl, you should leave quickly. If Pang Dao calls his brother over, it will be even more troublesome." Someone kindly reminded Mu Yan.
"Yes, yes, girl, you'd better go home quickly."
Everyone tried to persuade Mu Yan.
Mu Yan thanked everyone, came to the two men, and looked at the carriage. The horse was very strong and the carriage was 70% new. Then she asked the middle-aged man, "I don't know how to sell this carriage."
"Thank you girl for saving your life. We planned to sell this carriage for 30 taels of silver, but the girl just saved us husband and wife and only gave us 2 taels of silver to buy a coffin and leave some food."
"Two taels of silver?" Mu Yan didn't expect these two men to be so interesting and keep the price so low.
Mu Yan continued: "I don't have the driver to drive the carriage now. Are you two willing to follow me and drive the carriage with me? We can discuss the price." Since these two men are so interesting, Mu Yan also plans to help this man. Ye two.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while and said: "Slave Wenjun bows to the master." After saying that, he also pulled his son to kneel down.
"Get up quickly, don't call yourself a slave, and don't kneel down every now and then. I don't have that kind of etiquette."
Wen Jun touched his nose and thought to himself: This master is not only good at martial arts, but also so approachable. If he follows his master, he might be able to make a living with his son Wang Lin.
"Is this your son?"
"Master, this is my son Wenlin."
"Good boy, are you studying?" Mu Yan lowered his head and asked. Although this little boy is the same age as me, girls usually develop earlier than boys. Mu Yan is half a head taller than Wang Lin.
"Master, my son has been studying in a school for four years, but he dropped out of the school last year because of his family's financial difficulties."
"Then what did you do before? How did your family fall into decline?" Mu Yan had to ask clearly. If one of his people encountered any trouble and someone else came to him, and he didn't know it yet, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage
After asking, Mu Yan found out that Wen Jun was in the calligraphy and painting business. Because of his good sales, he was jealous of his colleagues. He didn't know who burned down his shop, and all the calligraphy and paintings inside were destroyed. Once my wife also fell ill, I spent some money to treat my wife, leaving only the carriage that followed me and I was still reluctant to sell it. But now, his wife has passed away and others are unwilling to lend him money, so he plans to sell the carriage.
"Do you know who burned your shop down?"
"I also checked afterward, but I couldn't find any clues. I had to admit my mistake." Maybe the master can help him find the murderer.
"Don't worry, since you are mine now, this matter is my business." The corners of Wen Jun's eyes turned red, and he was secretly glad: he really did not choose the wrong master.
Mu Yan looked at the sky for a while and said, "It's getting late. I still have things to do. You can drive us there."
With that said, Mu Yan led Wen Lin and sat inside the carriage, while Wen Jun and Hai Ming sat outside the carriage and drove the carriage. Go to the drug store.
