On the next day, Lin Han and Xiaoxiang arrived in Lieyang City.

Lieyang City is a very famous scenic spot and historical site. The entire city covers an area of ​​600,000 square meters. It is one of the top five ancient cities in the country with the largest area and best preserved.

The Lieyang City has a history of hundreds of years. In the eyes of many people, it is not an exaggeration to say that this ancient city is a huge antique.

It is indeed a good idea to choose such a place to hold the National Treasure Appraisal Competition.

It is very much in line with the taste of treasure appraisers!

There aren’t too many modern-style walls and buildings, so it doesn’t feel modern, but it doesn’t make people feel backward either, because there are people coming and going here, and it’s thriving.

And just because there are no modern appliances outside doesn’t mean there are none inside. After entering those quaint houses, you can see that there are still many modern appliances inside, but they are kept to the minimum to maintain the quaint feel as much as possible.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and Lin Han and Xiaoxiang also chose a place to sit down.

Listen to them talk about what's happening here recently. After all, the national treasure appraisal competition here is about to begin, and there should be a lot of people talking about this.

"Have you heard? The people who come to this treasure appraisal competition are not simple!"

"I know, I know. They say that the two youngest treasure appraisers in Jiangnan are here."

"That's still a small matter. There are many more important figures! They are all in the Baojian Building. I really want to go and see them!"

"Forget it. How can a little guy like us go to a place like that? That place is only for those who are qualified to participate in the treasure appraisal competition."

…

"Baojian Tower?"

After hearing these three words, Lin Han lowered his head and muttered for a while. These were useful information.

He is qualified to participate in the treasure appraisal competition, so he can enter the Treasure Appraisal Building.

In this way, he can also see the backgrounds of the people participating in the competition and investigate them in advance.

"Let's go! Let's go to this Baojian Tower and take a look!" Lin Han stood up and called Xiaoxiang.

"Hahaha, you want to go to Baojian Tower? Are you here to make people laugh?"

"Are you a country bumpkin who just came to our Lieyang City? Don't think you are a great treasure appraiser in your place. That place is not a place you can enter!"

…

When the people around heard that Lin Han was planning to enter the Baojian Tower, they couldn't help but laugh out loud, and at the same time they did not forget to mock Lin Han for overestimating his own abilities.

However, they often encounter such people. Many treasure appraisers who have just come here are like this. They are indeed famous in their place, so they become inflated and self-righteous, and think that Lieyang City is also a small place.

But in fact, they are all a kind of snack to go with wine, like peanuts. It’s okay in small restaurants, maybe they are quite popular and they will prepare some.

But it’s not acceptable in some big hotels, as this kind of thing is not presentable.

In their eyes, Lin Han was also a dish that was not presentable enough to go with wine.

But at least one should know one's own limitations. People like Lin Han are very annoying.

However, facing their ridicule and provocation, Lin Han did not take it to heart. He knew very well who was the dish that was not presentable enough for drinking.

Lin Han raised his head and wanted to leave with Xiaoxiang, but someone blocked their way.

In front of me was a man with a pale face, thin body, thinning hair, and a listless look. Of course, maybe it was because of his small eyes that he looked listless.

And now he was using his small eyes to look at Xiaoxiang carefully with a strange look, completely ignoring Lin Han.

This made Xiaoxiang very uncomfortable and she couldn't help but frown.

Although that person really wanted to chat with Xiaoxiang, he could still see that Lin Han was the one with more say than the other two, so in the end he reluctantly turned his head and looked at Lin Han.

He glanced at Lin Han casually, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled the white smoke, and asked:

"New here?"

"Well! What advice do you have?" Lin Han nodded, then looked at the people around him.

When those people saw this man appear, they all shut their mouths, lowered their heads and ate obediently, with fear on their faces. They didn't dare to say a word, and it was obvious that they didn't want to have anything to do with them.

So Lin Han knew that the person in front of him must be an important person in Lieyang City, at least the person behind him must be.

He was more like a lackey. After all, how could a real big shot come to such a small, low-class restaurant?

"That's fine." Hearing Lin Han's answer, he nodded very satisfied, then stretched out his right hand with a cold expression.

"One hundred thousand!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Han was a little confused after hearing his words. He didn't know this guy, but he asked for 100,000 right away?

What are you doing? Begging? That's not the way to beg!

Or is he collecting protection money? But he doesn't have a shop here or anything. He doesn't need his "protection".

He is just one of the countless passers-by in Lieyang City. Would he charge 100,000 yuan from everyone who comes to Lieyang City?

That's too blatant and unscrupulous!

"According to the rules, everyone who comes to Lieyang City must pay 100,000 yuan!"

The man was used to seeing people like Lin Han and had heard such questions countless times. After all, everyone would ask this question when he asked for something.

So he seemed a little impatient.

"Rules? Whose rules?"

"Of course it's the rule of our Lieyang Gang!"

The man raised his head and answered triumphantly.

"Oh? Then why should we follow your rules? You are called the Lieyang Gang, so does that mean you represent Lieyang City? Which came first, Lieyang City or the Lieyang Gang?"

Lin Han understood that they should be the ruffians of Lieyang City. Perhaps there were too many of them, so they formed a small gang.

But you want to get money from him just like that, or 100,000? Why not just rob him?

The man pursed his lips and looked away.

He has seen many people like Lin Han, but those people were arrogant and domineering at the beginning, but in the end they had to be honest and obedient.

"Did you see those people?" He raised his hand and pointed at the people in the store who kept their heads down and kept silent, and who were trying to avoid him.

"They all went through this. Many of them were just like you at the beginning, disobedient. But now they are all obedient. Do you know what happened during their transition from being disobedient to being obedient? Do you want to know it for yourself?"

"I think it's better for you not to understand, because I know you will regret it. After all, these people have regretted it, so they are so honest now."

He advised "kindly".

"What if I don't pay?" Lin Han frowned and looked at him curiously. He wanted to see how this man could make him regret it.
