"Doing business."
At this point, Sun Dachuan looked up at him.
"Alright, hand over five hundred taels of silver."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ping was the first to stare at him with wide eyes.
"Pay five hundred taels of silver? On what grounds?"
"I've made a record of your actions, so you can do business normally in Yong'an City."
This Sun Dachuan is really asking for an exorbitant amount.
Leng Chuchen frowned slightly and asked:
"If I want to change the signboard for my shop, do I need to re-register? Do I need to issue a new document?"
"Of course you have to. Whether it's a new signboard or a new shop, you have to register it with me and then I'll issue you a new business license."
"How much silver will it cost?"
"Your identity information registration costs 500 taels, the shop registration costs 500 taels, and the single business license will be issued for 500 taels, for a total of 1,500 taels."
"What? Fifteen hundred taels? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Leng Chuchen coldly stared at Sun Dachuan.
"I can pay this silver, but may I ask why your government has issued an order forbidding people from buying things on Caishen Street?"
"The people of Caishen Street are unwilling to pay protection money to the government, so why should the government allow them to do business?"
"Protection fees? How much per household?"
"Not much, five taels of silver per family per month."
Hearing this, Leng Chuchen couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"A prefecture of a city, and its officials, are acting like bandits and tyrants, extorting so-called protection money from the people. I would like to ask, what are you protecting them for? Are you protecting them so that their businesses can improve, or can you guarantee that they can kill without paying the price?"
"Smack!"
Sun Dachuan suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, glared at Leng Chuchen with his beady eyes, pointed at him, and sternly reminded him.
“I’m telling you, don’t think you’re something special just because you have some kung fu skills, and don’t try to cause trouble in Yong’an City. Believe me or not, I can make you disappear here overnight.”
