Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Although Su Shui County is good and has its own long-term development path, martial arts cannot be learned in a short period of time. It is not realistic to ask the martial arts school to follow him, right?

We still have to find a way to get back to Liuli Town.

Gu Yue closed his eyes, thinking about Gu Xu and the various shops on the cross street in Liuli Town. An idea slowly took shape in his head.

……

Gu Yue got up early the next day and had breakfast.

Instead of joining his colleagues for a work lunch, he took some money and went out.

The restaurant was doing good business, but it didn't sell breakfast, so many mobile vendors put their poles in front of the restaurant and sold snacks like steamed buns, cakes, and porridge. Business was good, and servants from wealthy families, people doing other business, and farmers working in the fields outside the city would come to buy some.

Gu Yue was holding a bowl in his hand, squatting beside a carrying pole and drinking.

This thing is very similar to the Hu La Tang of later generations, but it tastes slightly sweet, has some shredded cabbage and radish, and is made with coarse noodles, so it has a slightly rough texture.

Sweet spicy soup? It was strange, but it cost five copper coins a bowl, so Gu Yue didn't want to waste it and drank it all.

Holding the empty bowl, he was about to strike up a conversation with the porridge seller on his pole, when he suddenly saw the vendors around him getting busy, shouting at each other, packing up the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks and stuffing them into their poles, then running away.

What's going on?

Are there urban management officers?

Of course there are no urban management officers in Beiqin.

Gu Yue looked towards the street, and saw a few young masters with their hands behind their backs walking towards him, followed by a dozen servants who looked almost as ferocious as Gu Yue.

Seeing the vendors running away, the young master shouted and the servants rushed forward, chasing and intercepting the vendors who had not yet run far.

The person running the sweet spicy soup carrying pole was a middle-aged woman. She ran slowly and was caught by the pole, and the sweet spicy soup spilled all over the floor.

A few servants holding wooden sticks finally forced the slow ones back. However, they did not dare to block Hongcheng's door, but forced the vendors to kneel on the ground at the side of the gate.

What is this for?

"Why are you running away when you see us?" The man who looked like a young master stood crookedly.

However, when Gu Yue looked carefully, he found that although the clothes on these people looked luxurious, the materials were indeed a bit ordinary. In one person's collar, a piece of coarse linen lining was exposed.

Gu Yue still held the bowl in his hand.

He did not act rashly and went back to the lobby to find the manager.

The manager said, "It started a few days ago. I don't know where these people got the street vendor tickets from the government. They said that the streets of the entire Sushui County are their business area and they want these vendors to pay them money."

"Are these street tickets real?" Gu Yue asked.

"That's true... I can't help but ask if they are causing trouble outside our restaurant? They do have a government seal, but they don't say that we have to pay these people money. I guess they have some connections."

"They just want these people to pay some protection money? Not necessarily. How much can they collect? Their business has been ruined. Is the money collected in a day enough for these guys to have a meal?" Gu Yue looked out through the gap in the door.

"According to your standards, it's not enough." The manager joked with him, "I heard... it's a rumor, the boss behind this guy is a breakfast shop on West Third Street, but it's expensive and no one eats it, so they came to chase these vendors away."

The steward spoke in a low voice.

Gu Yue nodded, understanding what was going on.

He doesn't have the ability to teach a lesson to those who collude with the government. He hasn't lived enough, and Gu Xu hasn't grown up yet.

It's just an opportunity.

He walked out leisurely from the main gate of Hongcheng, went to the crowd, pushed aside the servants who were surrounding the outside circle, and returned the bowl to the old lady kneeling on the ground.

"Auntie, why don't you want the bowl?"

"Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business!" the young master shouted immediately.

Seeing this, Gu Yue immediately felt that this man was probably not a real young master. How could a real young master shout like that? It was the servants who did this.

"Didn't you see where I came from?" Gu Yue raised his head and stood up straight. But he had become whiter recently, and the scar on his forehead had faded a little, so he didn't look so scary.

"What's the matter? Has it affected the business of your restaurant? No way, isn't this biased?" The young master seemed to have negotiated with the steward before, and thought that he was still here for this matter, so his tone was not so tough.

"Ah, but you are making so much noise, and the passing guests will think that we are bullying people in Chenghou Mansion. Who would dare to come in? You know Chenghou Mansion, right? You look unfamiliar--"

"I know, I know. What's going on? Are you going to protect these people who don't pay back their debts?" The young master shook out a document from his sleeve. "It's stamped by the government, and it's a street vendor ticket. These people have to pay for selling things on my land!"

Gu Yue took the paper and frowned.

It was indeed a document with an official seal, handing over the jurisdiction of these streets to a man named Du.

Several vendors looked at him hopefully.

"Brother, but it's not a good idea for you to block our Hongcheng gate with a stick in broad daylight, right?" Gu Yue went over, hooked the young master's shoulders, and put his big arm on him.

“If these guys had been more sensible and got out of our territory earlier, there wouldn’t be this scene today.” The young master looked unmoved but did not push Gu Yue away.

Gu Yue took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the young master's hand. Of course, the vendors saw it clearly.

"That's right. If you come here every day to intercept me, you should at least give me some consideration and a choice!"

The latter part of the sentence was said in a low voice: "We all know who your boss is. It's no longer a secret. It won't look good if it gets out of hand, right? Although the Chenghou Mansion has retired, these things, if taken to a large extent, are bullying the people, and they will not ignore it, don't you think?"

The young master looked a little hesitant: "...Then what do you want to do?"

Gu Yue whispered a few words in his ear.

The young master looked a little better and nodded repeatedly.

"Oh - that's a solution. All right, all right." He shook off Gu Yue's arm and shouted to the vendors, "For this brother's sake, I won't bother with you these days. I'll give you some time to get out of here! Let's go."

After saying this, he left with a group of servants.

Gu Yue quickly helped the vendors up.

They were all middle-aged and elderly people, and none of them looked very wealthy. They were grateful to Gu Yue and thanked him repeatedly.

"No, no, don't do this. I just solved a temporary problem." Gu Yue stopped him.

Several vendors looked worried again.

"Sir, it seems that you have some relationship with Cheng Houfu. Can you ask the Cheng Houfu to come forward..."

"Ouch." Gu Yue waved his hands quickly, "How do I have anything to do with Cheng Hou Mansion? I'm just an errand boy at the restaurant."

"What should I do..."

"Does it really have to cause a death?!"

These vendors are all counting on making some money by selling breakfast.

"Looking at the current situation, I see that you are being bullied because you have no one to rely on." Gu Yue said.

"Of course we know..."

"We are just ordinary people. How can we rely on each other? We are not that lucky."

Gu Yue wanted to tell them about his plan, but just as he opened his mouth, he closed it.

There is nothing else to say, I just remembered a sentence.
