Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 324 I heard that someone who is not afraid of death is looking for trouble with the master
After this incident, Du Wanwan suddenly felt bored. She had known that things would not be peaceful in the west of the city, and she had made preparations.
No matter who comes to cause trouble for her, she will not compromise easily.
Not to mention a few hooligans, even if the King of Qi came, she would not compromise. She would do what she had to do. This was her bottom line, and she would not indulge anyone.
The West City Gang? He Xiangjin? He was the local tyrant of the West City? Why didn't Liu Sanqian ever remind her?
Today she beat back He Xiangjin's men. What other conspiracies and tricks will the West City Gang plot against her?
Yetingyu and Guixiang opened the door, came out from the backyard, walked up to her and asked questions.
"Doctor Du! Are you okay?"
"Sister-in-law! How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Hearing these caring words, Du Wanwan felt warm at heart and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, they are the ones who are in trouble. Guixiang! Go and ask someone to carry Boss Cao home. He just had an operation and can't be shaken. Don't ride in a carriage. It's safer to ask someone to carry him back."
"Okay! I'll go hire someone right away."
Guixiang also understood that Doctor Du wanted them to leave early, fearing that the West City Gang would come to cause trouble. There were gangs in the capital, whether in the west, east, south, or north. They managed their own territories and kept to themselves.
She didn't know whether it was true or not, she just heard it from others. Of course, there was one in the south of the city where they lived, and the bookstore had to pay money to it every year.
She had no idea who to hand it over to or how to hand it over. It was all done by her husband.
There are no men in Doctor Du's family. Just now she was worried that she would suffer a loss if she met two scoundrels, but she didn't expect that she was so skilled and could solve the problem in just three or five moves.
My husband just had surgery and is weak. He can’t be harmed, so it’s better for him to leave early.
In the west of the city, as long as you pay money, there are many people who will work. Guixiang went out to ask, and immediately someone came with a recliner, ready to help her carry Cao Qiwen back to the south of the city.
As soon as they left, Feng Liang came over and asked with concern: "Little brother! Are you okay? This He Xiangjin is really a piece of shit. I paid a whole year's worth of money for this shop. I didn't expect that after someone else took over the business, they would still come to ask for money. It's really unreasonable."
"Brother Feng! Can you tell me what's going on?" Du Wanwan asked Feng Liang to sit down and served him a cup of tea. "To open a shop in the west of the city, I have to pay an extra sum of money to the West City Gang? Is this a protection fee?"
"Alas! This is the rule of the capital." Feng Liang shook his head and sighed, "Whether it is in the east, south or north of the city, as long as you open a store and do business, you have to pay one or two taels of silver to the gang every month.
If you don't pay, they will come to your door every day to make trouble, making your business unable to continue. If you report to the authorities, they will run away as soon as the officials come.
After the officials left, they still came to make trouble. We are all doing business, so in order to keep things quiet, we had no choice but to pay the tael of silver. "
"Who is He Xiangjin from the West City Gang? What's his background?" Du Wanwan inquired casually.
She was different from others. When she came to the capital, many people wanted to control her, and she must not let anyone control her. No matter who it was, they could not control her at will. Once she showed her weakness, the King of Qi would be the first to attack her.
She has to stand up and fight against those who want to control her, so that no one will dare to take advantage of her easily.
"He Xiangjin is said to be a man with great martial arts skills, about fifty years old, with a sturdy build. I have never seen what he looks like." Feng Liang told him everything he knew. "He rarely shows up on the street. Usually, a man named Nan Ba comes out to handle things."
"Nanba?" Du Wanwan chuckled. "What an interesting name. What kind of person is he?"
"He is ruthless and does all kinds of evil." Feng Liang summarized Nan Ba's image with eight words. To put it bluntly, this man is a ruthless character. "He has no sympathy. Little brother! You beat up his people today, and he will probably come to trouble you soon. If all else fails, just give him one or two taels of silver."
Du Wanwan shook her head: "No, I can't give it to you. Anyone who wants to put pressure on me must be severely hit back. The money must be reasonable. I will not tolerate robbing."
The King of Qi wanted to force her into the capital, so hadn't he already seized the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion? If she was suppressed in the west of the city, she might never have a chance to turn things around.
After coming to the capital, she not only wanted to deal with Nan Ba, but more importantly, she wanted to kill the King of Qi and bring justice to the Pingyang Marquisate.
If she gave in from the beginning, how could she fight against the King of Qi? Maybe this Mr. He, Nan Ba, was sent by the King of Qi to test her.
Feng Liang still wanted to persuade Du Wanwan, but when he looked up and saw her face was cold, her eyes were fierce, and her pressure was spreading outward, he knew that she would not listen to his advice.
But Nanba will not come alone, he will bring several thugs. How can little brother fight against them alone?
Before he could finish his thought, dozens of dogs rushed in from outside. The leader rushed directly to Du Wanwan, whimpering and calling, "Master! Are you okay? Who is causing trouble? I'll ask my brothers to kill him."
"Nan Ba!" Du Wanwan patted Huang Goujiu's head, "There is also He Xiangjin from the Chengxi Gang. Go and tell him to keep an eye on him. Show them some power when necessary."
Feng Liang was so stunned that he forgot to drink the tea that was originally in his mouth. He just held it there, motionless, with his eyes wide open.
"Xiaoxiao, little brother! Are you talking to it? Can it, it, it understand?"
"Yes! This is the dog I raised. It's very smart. Its name is Laojiu." Du Wanwan pointed at Feng Liang who was sitting opposite her and told Huang Goujiu, "This is Brother Feng! Go over and smell him. He's one of us."
Yellow Dog Jiu looked at Feng Liang silently and barked, "I remember it, Master! I like the name Lao Jiu. Can you call me that from now on?"
"Can."
"Great! Great!" Yellow Dog Nine was very satisfied with his new name, "Old Nine! What a great name! I will tell all my friends."
After saying that, he went out. Feng Liang watched the whole process, his eyes fixed on it. He was very curious, what kind of dog did the little brother raise that could actually understand human language?
"I raised Lao Jiu when I was in Liangjun City. I brought him to the capital this time. I also have a cat called Lao San. He is black all over and walks very gracefully. He has very beautiful golden eyes and is smarter than Lao Jiu."
Du Wanwan didn't want to hide it from Feng Liang. When Black Cat Three and the others came, they would meet sooner or later. It would be better to mention it in advance and report it so that she would be mentally prepared when they met again.
As for mouse six, bat four, and owl five, she'd better not say anything, so as not to scare him, and just say the ones that can be said.
"Meow!"
As soon as Du Wanwan finished speaking, a cat's meow was heard from the roof, followed by a flash of black shadow, and a black cat with shiny fur ran down and walked to Du Wanwan with elegant steps.
He raised his head and looked at her: "I heard that there are people who are not afraid of death and are looking for trouble with the master?"
