(PS: I couldn't sleep for no reason last night, and then I woke up until 12 o'clock today. I had to scribble and upload it now before I had time to eat. Now I'm going to scribble and want to go out for a walk. After all, I haven't gone out for more than a week since I returned home from Xi'an last week. I read books and scribble every day. I was in a very bad condition. I planned to go out for a little relaxation today... So, this chapter has a little more words, but we haven't updated it to you in the evening. I'll report it to you here! I hope you understand!)

——

The next morning.

Lu Ran slept with a full stomach and felt refreshed.

An Ning had already gotten up, she was lying on the window next to her, her big eyes were filled with radiance outside the window.

Lu Ran looked at An Ning's quiet and joyful appearance and felt that this day had a pleasant beginning.

When Lu Ran got up to wash, An Ning turned around and looked at Lu Ran.

Until Lu Ran was about to comb his hair and tidy up his hair, An Ning suddenly leaned over to help.

Lu Ran was a little surprised: "You can comb your hair?"

"Yeah!" An Ning responded crisply.

Lu Ran couldn't help but smile, but thought in his heart that An Ning often saw Xiaoli comb her hair, so he learned it?

When An Ning put down the comb, Lu Ran found that it was really similar to Xiaoli, and he couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied.

"Okay, An Ning, go out with me later, but remember to follow me well and don't get lost!" Lu Ran said. Of course, ordinary people cannot see An Ning, and Qi Refiners will not be troublesome when they see An Ning. After all, An Ning has gone through the legal procedures for entering the city, so there is no problem taking An Ning out for a walk.

An Ning shook her little head seriously, nodded, got up and flew up, and sat on Lu Ran's shoulder.

Lu Ran looked confused and looked at An Ning, which was obviously much taller than him. Although An Ning had no weight, the visual effect was still a bit awkward, but Lu Ran couldn't say anything, for fear of hurting the little guy's heart.

Now, Lu Ran is living in an ordinary two-entry courtyard. This is just a place where Lu Hongyi bought it and settled in the moment. Naturally, it is not luxurious, it is just ordinary.

After walking out of the yard, I closed the door, and happened to be at the entrance of the alley where the yard was located, there were stalls selling food.

Lu Ran had some breakfast at the stall at the entrance of the alley, and went to the shops Lu Hongyi bought.

According to Lao Lu, because he was busy, he had no time to come to Qingzhou Prefecture, these shops had been paid for about three years. Before leaving, the accountant also made a book for Lu Ran, and he wrote clearly how much each store should charge.

If you have money, Lu Ran should naturally collect it first and add some pocket money.

But walking on the street, Lu Ran noticed that on the roads of Qingzhou Prefecture, men with flesh-faced faces and uniform clothing were walking by fiercely and looking around with their eyes.

Lu Ran looked at the man with some curiosity, and the people were already whispering to him.

"These guys from Feihong Gang are really too much..."

"Shh... it's not them. Didn't Lord Sang get angry yesterday? Moreover, among the bow-held martial artists who were caught, none of them were the ones who shot arrows at Lord Sang!"

"Some people are not aware of their lives and death, and they dare to provoke Lord Sang!"

Listening to these people in Qingzhou Prefecture, Lu Ran probably understood what happened. Of course, Lu Ran didn't care about these people's comments that they didn't know how to live or die.

Soon, Lu Ran arrived at the first store.

This is a cloth shop, located in a prosperous area of ​​Qingzhou Prefecture. From the outside, you can see people coming and going from time to time, and people coming and going are lively.

As soon as Lu Ran entered the shop, he found that the shop with a large area was very lively, and it looked very good.

A servant greeted him with a eager look on his face: "Customer, what do you need to order!"

"Are the shopkeeper here?" Lu Ran had a slight smile on his face.

The servant in the store was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Customer, you are..."

Lu Ran said lightly: "My surname is Lu, and I am the landlord here."

"Oh, OK, okay, I'll go and call the shopkeeper out now!" The servant smiled and hurried to the inner room behind the shop.

Soon, a middle-aged man with a slightly hunched waist, and he hurriedly came out of the inner room when he looked at the obese middle-aged man.

"You look so young, is it Young Master Lu?" The middle-aged man's face was full of smiles, "I'm Tan Jinbao! I'm the shopkeeper here!"

Lu Ran nodded, took out a booklet and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Tan, I'm here to collect the rent for the past three years. Well, let's see, there will be a total of 513 taels of silver in total, so I'll charge you 500 taels!" According to the purchase power of one tael of silver in the Sun and Moon Dynasty is equivalent to Lu Ran's purchase power of one thousand yuan in his previous life, this 500 tael of silver is equivalent to 500,000 yuan.

When he heard this, Tan Jinbao's smile suddenly subsided, revealing a little bitterness, and said helplessly: "Young Master Lu, this rent... I am not pretending to be poor, I really can't take it out!"

Hearing this, Lu Ran looked at the almost squeezing passenger flow in the store, but raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tan Jinbao hunched over, his face full of bitterness, and said, "Prince Lu also asked him to come in and speak!"

Lu Ran followed Tan Jinbao to the inner room with a expressionless face. He wanted to see if Tan Jinbao could tell a flower.

When he entered the inner room, An Ning suddenly pointed to the wall beside him and said, "Silver! More!"

Lu Ran's face showed a strange look, and he looked at the wall that seemed to have thickened a little more.

At this time, Tan Jinbao's old face seemed to swallow a bitter gourd, and immediately began to pour bitterness: "Young Master Lu, you don't often stay in Qingzhou Prefecture, you don't know the depth of Qingzhou Prefecture! This business is really hard to do!"

"I not only have to pay taxes to the government, but also those sects from the world will come to collect various fees every month. You don't know..."

Tan Jinbao's face was miserable and he was chattering.

"But, what does this have to do with your payment of the rent?" Lu Ran just looked at Tan Jinbao quietly and asked the key point.

"Uh..." Tan Jinbao's expression was slightly sluggish, but he didn't expect Lu Ran to react like this. So his whole face wrinkled, like an old chrysanthemum about to wither. Then he said, "I just want Mr. Lu to understand!"

"Do you know that the money you earned over the years has been taken away by Feihong's gang! Tan has old men and young men..."

Lu Ran's expression was very strange: "Feihong helped them take theirs, I will take mine. What's the relationship between these two?"

Tan Jinbao's heart twitched slightly, thinking: Is this young man looking tender, but his heart is so hard? It's not easy to fool him!

Tan Jinbao looked at Lu Ran's strong body and neatly dressed up, thinking: Isn't this young master Lu a martial arts practitioner? Such a boy should usually yearn for such a powerful hero, right?

So, Tan Jinbao narrowed his eyes and changed his strategy, and turned to praise him: "Young Master Lu, you are talking about it. Paying rent and paying protection fees have nothing to do with both! However, these poor people in our Qingzhou Prefecture are not as good as you, and they are extremely strong. We are bullied by Feihong Gang... You don't know, the fees they charge are so high, that's simply not human... Do you think we don't want to pay rent for you?... How hope is a young hero like you who can help us..."

"You mean, should I help you get the money they collected from Feihong like a ranger, and then you will happily pay the rent for me?" As he listened, Lu Ran couldn't help laughing and interrupted Tan Jinbao's words, "Do you think you are a fool, or am I a fool?"

Tan Jinbao showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but since he was exposed and it was useless to sell miserably before, he simply showed a rogue face: "Mr. Lu, I naturally want to pay the rent, but now I really have no money!"

"Then you close the store and collect the stall! I'll rent the store to someone else!" Lu Ran said lightly.

Tan Jinbao was silent when he heard this. After a while, a little coldness appeared on his face, but he sneered: "Young Master Lu, since you don't want to have a good talk, then I will tell you clearly: Although this store belongs to you, I pay the protection fee to Feihong Gang every month, and it's not something you can just say to close!"

Seeing that Tan Jinbao was becoming more and more shameless, Lu Ran was finally too lazy to talk to this person anymore. He suddenly stood up and stretched out a hand.

Tan Jinbao's face changed: "What, you want to hit someone?"

Lu Ran ignored this person and punched An Ning before pointing at the thick wall with silver.

With just this punch, Lu Ran broke through the wall and the special iron box inside, and a ingot of silver rolled out.

Lu Ran casually reached out and grabbed the wall. A lot of silver was caught by Lu Ran and poured it into a large cloth bag. Although I don’t know how much it is, it is definitely more than 500 taels.

"The rent is 500 taels, the extra fee is the labor fee I just watched you perform for a long time without reason!" Lu Ran said expressionlessly.

Tan Jinbao originally wanted to shout, but when he saw the broken wall and the iron plate that was punched through, his teeth were trembling and he didn't dare to say a word.

When Lu Ran passed through the curtain in the inner room, An Ning put the silver into the storage bag, and then Lu Ran left with a swaying look.

Tan Jinbao was stunned for a long time until the servant outside found that something was wrong and leaned in, saying, "Prince...shopkeeper?"

Tan Jinbao finally came to his senses. Looking at the silver that had been rolled all over the floor, he immediately cursed at the servant: "Who asked you to come in? Get out!"

The servant immediately retracted his head, but Tan Jinbao turned around and hurriedly picked up the silver and counted it carefully.

But not long after, Tan Jinbao screamed in the inner room: "My silver!"

Immediately afterwards, the customers and servants in the cloth shop looked at the door in the inner room with a blank expression.

But when Tan Jinbao ran out in a hurry, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up, prepare a car for me, I'm going to Feihong to help meet Brother Hu!"
