Transform into a royal guard and pick up attributes like crazy

Seeing that Xiao Jian seemed unhappy, Xie Miao suggested going to a restaurant.

Seeing that it was getting late and Xiao Jian was a little hungry, he nodded.

There were four Jinyiwei on both sides to lead the way, and Xie Miao was leading the way respectfully in front.

Xiao Jian felt that he had become a villain who bullied men and women.

The group came to a magnificent restaurant in the market - Yingbinlou.

Although Yingbinlou did not have a strong backing, it relied on the skills of the shopkeeper to run it into the largest restaurant in Wanbaofang, and its reputation spread far and wide.

"Shopkeeper! Hurry up and serve good wine and good food!"

Before he even stepped into the door, Xie Miao shouted loudly and walked in with ease.

"Hey! Here they come!"

Seeing that this group of plague gods came again, Lao Luo forced a smile and welcomed Xiao Jian and others to the private room.

They were small families, and they couldn't afford to offend a small Jinyiwei at ordinary times, let alone Xie Miao, a hundred households, and Xiao Jian, a thousand households.

All the delicious food and drinks in the restaurant were served.

Xiao Jian also enjoyed it.

Lao Luo served them well throughout the whole process, and even did not ask for money when they left.

It seems that Xie Miao and his friends have caused trouble to the restaurant.

Xiao Jian couldn't stand their humble appearance.

Before leaving, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to Lao Luo.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Lao Luo took the silver in a hurry, bowed and thanked.

Back to the North Pacification Division, Xiao Jian immediately summoned all the Jinyiwei.

"Everyone is here, so I have something to ask."

Xiao Jian said with a cold face: "Do you often go to other people's shops and restaurants to eat and take bribes, eat and drink for free without paying?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Seeing that Xiao Jian looked a little strange, Xie Miao asked carefully, "Sir, isn't it customary for us Jinyiwei to do this?"

With Xie Miao speaking in front, the others became bolder.

"Sir, if those lowly people don't have us to protect them, I'm afraid they won't even be able to save their lives. They may be killed at any time."

"Is it okay to collect some money as protection fees?"

"That's right! I just eat and drink a little, and I don't need anything that costs money!"

"We Jinyiwei give them some things because we respect them. Who dares not to give them!"

Listening to everyone's words, Xiao Jian realized that the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty has always been like this.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been avoided by the people when he went to the streets.

Xiao Jian frowned and shouted, "Shut up!"

The scene was quiet in an instant.

"From today on, all Jinyiwei under my command are not allowed to take bribes from merchants!"

Xiao Jian's words made everyone's faces change.

If they don't take bribes, how can they live?

The salary given by the court was not enough for their expenses.

And they were used to being arrogant at ordinary times. Suddenly, a ban was issued, and they were all a little at a loss.

Looking at the hesitant people, Xiao Jian's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "What? Can't you hear what I said?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Jian, they hurriedly responded.

Xiao Jian said lightly: "Not only you, but also the warriors from other districts who come to Nancheng!"

"Since you are in my Nancheng Four Districts, no one is allowed to reach out!"

"If someone dares to reach out, you don't have to be polite, just take him to prison."

"If you can't deal with it, then report it. It's that simple. Do you understand?"

The people below were all weak and responded sparsely.

Xiao Jian also knew that it would be difficult to make them change all at once.

Forced constraints cannot make them convinced.

But it doesn't matter, they will know his intentions by then.

After letting everyone disperse, leave ten centurions.

Xie Miao said: "Sir, they will not be able to maintain their lives like this, and problems will arise sooner or later."

Now they agreed to that only because of Xiao Jian's strength, but Xiao Jian could not manage a place as big as Sifang alone.

Xiao Jian nodded and said lightly.

"Then give them silver and increase their income."

"Take people to various shops and restaurants and tell them that they have to pay protection fees by the end of the month."

After that, he told all his plans.

At first, everyone didn't understand, but as Xiao Jian explained, their eyes gradually brightened.

"Sir, you are really a god!"

They also know how to count. According to Xiao Jian's operation, what they can get is not some food, but a large sum of silver!

Compared with food and so on, silver makes them more excited.

As for whether those unruly people will suffer losses, it is not within their consideration.

The ten people quickly found their subordinates and gave orders.

"What? The Lord wants us to collect protection fees! Great!"

Many Jinyiwei changed their decadent look and went to execute the order excitedly.

The whole Nancheng market was in chaos.

"What? Jinyiwei wants to collect protection fees? This is too immoral!"

"Before, they just took a little bit, but now it's even more excessive. They actually asked for money directly. Is there any law?"

"Do you know whose shop I own? You little Jinyiwei can't afford it!"

"Let go, I have Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites behind me!"

Various voices rang out.

Some cursed Xiao Jian, and some threatened Jinyiwei, but those who dared to threaten Jinyiwei were taken to the imperial prison.

Even if there were some troublemakers that they could not catch, they were thrown into the imperial prison by Xiao Jian.

Under the strong suppression of Jinyiwei, except for the public opinion, there was no big problem.

Moreover, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and ordinary people would not go against Xiao Jian for a shop.

However, Xiao Jian's reputation was completely stinking.

The people did not dare to speak openly, but secretly cursed Xiao Jian.

The next day, Xiao Jian caught some people with minor crimes from the imperial prison and cleaned up the four squares.

At the same time, many Jinyiwei also patrolled everywhere, and took away all those who made trouble, took things by force, and stole things.

However, in just a few days, the four squares seemed to have changed.

No one made trouble, no one stole, and even Jinyiwei no longer asked them for money.

The flow of people was nearly doubled than before, and the business of each shop was very good.

Chapter 45 Qiao Feng comes to challenge

At this time, the shop owners began to think of the good things of the Jinyiwei.

When they get together, they always say a few words:

"The Jinyiwei finally did a good thing!"

"I heard that this was done by the new captain Xiao! Lord Xiao is such a good official!"

"That's right, Lord Xiao paid for his meal at the restaurant last time."

"That restaurant has a booming business because Lord Xiao has been there!"

Everyone who is interested knows the changes in the four districts of South City.
