Living in the Hong Kong Film World

Chapter 544

When approaching Huining Mansion, there were finally more people on the road.

However, compared with the villages that Feinan Road passes through, the so-called Huining Mansion is just a bigger town.

The horse bandit was saved by Fei Nan, and he was not dealt with outside the city as originally planned.

Firstly, it was because he was quite obedient in the second half of the journey, and he took the initiative to tell Feinan a lot of useful things, and it was considered a little help; secondly, because Feinan was short of someone to serve him, he was temporarily taken away. His head was stored on his head, and he was left to serve by his side.

The horse bandit's name is Shuanzhu, and his mind is quite bright.

After learning that Fei Nan was planning to go to Shang Hai, he made up his mind to go see the world with Fei Nan.

So, instead of running, he waited on him on the road, so he saved half of his life.

There are officers and soldiers guarding the gate of Huining Mansion, and you have to pay a fee to enter Huining Mansion.

Although a lot of food and grass were obtained in the cottage, there was not much cash in the entire backing village.

Although there are horses that are valuable, you can't pay for them, can you?
Fortunately, Feinan had a piece of Ocean that he had drawn in a lottery before, so he just paid the road money and entered the city smoothly.

He went straight to Luomashikou, sold the two horses, and exchanged them for more than 20 yuan in cash. Feinan finally had some living expenses.

After finding the best hotel in the city, he asked for two upper rooms to stay in. After a night of rest, Shuan Zhu helped Feinan contact the caravan going to Fengtian Mansion.

After passing Huining Mansion and continuing to the west, the population will become denser and denser. Correspondingly, there will be more bandits scurrying in the crevasses.

They are entrenched on the traffic arteries between various towns, and they come and go like the wind, and they come and go freely. Robbery roads are one of their main sources of income.

On the way to Huining Mansion, Feinan killed a wave of horse bandits who robbed their way.

After more than half of the other party died, they took the initiative to retreat and did not dare to say goodbye to him.

With them around, ordinary people generally dare not go out easily. If there is an urgent matter, they can only ask the caravan for help, pay a share of the money, and go with the caravan to keep them safe.

Commodities need to be circulated. In order to ensure the safety of property to the greatest extent, caravans will take out one-fifth or even half of the value of the goods and hire bodyguards to escort them.

Those who set up escort bureaus in this surrounding area are all people with a lot of friends and a lot of face.

They must take care of all the heroes from all walks of life on the commercial road in person, so that the escort agency can continue.

This is also known as toll payment.

The bandits occupying the roads are nothing more than money, and there are various bodyguards paying tolls to pay tribute to save trouble, and they are naturally happy.

The tolls from various escort agencies are the biggest source of income for the bandits, not one of them.

The Escort will not lose money, and the tolls they handed over will naturally be doubled and earned back from the caravan.

As for the caravan, as long as the goods are not lost, the losses they suffer can be recovered from the customers through the goods, and there will be no loss.

Ever since, the only losers are ordinary people who live an honest life.

Huining Mansion is a big town, and has close business contacts with Fengtian Mansion, and there are caravans almost every day.

Caravans would hang the flag of the bodyguard agency, which was an amulet they bought with money. When the bandits saw the flag, they could know which bodyguard agency the caravan belonged to.

If the Escort got it right, the bandits wouldn't bother too much and just let it go.

If the management is not in place, it will be more troublesome, and the goods may be withheld, and the money can be redeemed.

Among the caravans, the most hung is a dart flag embroidered with the word Tang, and almost [-]% of it is its business.

The owner of this Tang flag has a lot of background, he is the nephew of Tang Dahu, a green forest figure who ruled the west of Liaoning back then.

Tang Dahu was robbed for driving a cart, so he took the risk and became a bandit, dominating the west of Liaoning.

Later, by chance, he saved the life of someone Zhang from Fengtian, and he won the favor of someone Zhang, won the trust of someone Zhang, and gradually ascended to a high position.

Because of his background in the green forest, and now he is in charge of military power, people in the green forest in the entire three eastern provinces want to give him face.

Ever since, his nephew used his name to open an escort agency, which occupied more than half of the market in the three eastern provinces in a short period of time.

His dart flag is the most expensive, but merchants are willing to buy it because it works.

Ordinary people can't afford it and travel far away, so they can only find a caravan, pay a fee, and go across the mountain with the caravan to enjoy the protection of the Tang Ziqi.

The caravan that Shuan Zhu helped Fei Nan contact was a caravan with a Tang character flag, and they will set off tomorrow for Fengtian Mansion.

To go to Shanghai, he must first go to Fengtian Mansion to take a train to Peiping.

After meeting and making an appointment with the person in charge of the caravan, Feinan brought Huanhuan to the hotel lobby to prepare for dinner.

This restaurant is run by people from Shandong, and the craftsmanship is good, as you can tell from the aroma of the dishes wafting from the table next to it.

After ordering a table of delicious dishes, Fei Nan and Huanhuan feasted on them.

During this trip, Huanhuan became visibly thinner and her chin became sharper.

Shuan Zhu didn't dare to eat at the same table with Fei Nan, so he picked up some dishes with his chopsticks, and hungrily devoured them while holding the bowl.

"Shuan Zhu, I want to ask you something."

While eating, Feinan suddenly asked him.

"Sir, tell me."

Shuan Zhu pouted and turned around.

"Is there any place to play with money in Huining Mansion?"

"A place to play money?"

Shuan Zhu was stunned for a moment before he understood: "You want to go to the stalls, right? I know a few places. I'll take you there after dinner."

The stalls Shuan Zhu said are easy to find, and if you look around in broad daylight, apart from restaurants, the places where the elders go most often are your stalls.

After dinner, Shuan Zhu led Feinan to the biggest stall.

It was smoky and noisy inside, but it was no different from the gambling stalls in Hong Kong, crowded with countless excited gamblers, dreaming of reaching the sky and making a fortune.

After looking around the gaming table, Feinan roughly understood it.

Gambling games in the Northeast have been passed down from Beiping all the way, and different ways of playing have been developed, but the same way leads to the same goal, and the styles are still the same after all.

Feinan asked Shuan Zhu to bring him here, naturally because he wanted to get some money to go back.

Although the horse was sold for more than 20 yuan, compared to the travel expenses, it was still just a drop in the bucket.

A direct train ticket from Beiping to Shanghai costs nearly 50 yuan per person. If you want to bring Shuanzhu and Huanhuan, at least 200 yuan is enough. If you want to get so much in a short time Money, he can only use this method.

The restart percentage of the system has reached 40%, but as long as the restart is not completed for one day, his various professional specialties and skills will still be unavailable.

However, items and inheritance are exceptions.

His molecular medicine droid is still functional and helped him a lot in the mountains.

His mask can also be used. When he was in the cottage, he used the mask to change into the appearance of Xu's big head, and deceived Shuanzhu and his accomplices.

His gambling skills are not skills or specialties triggered by professions, but inheritances drawn from treasure chests.

This inheritance will not be affected by the restart of the system, but his various basic attributes have lost the bonus of specialties, and it will take a certain amount of time to adapt before he can use various exquisite gambling techniques freely again.
