After hearing Shan Ye's request, everyone was slightly relieved. Shan Ye's unprovoked show of kindness to the military, or even a gesture of flattery, did make everyone a little afraid that he was some kind of spy or rebel, but since he just had something to think about

If you connect to the upper level, it will be much simpler.

"No problem. I know a major general. I will introduce him to you in a few days." Fatty Fatty is the most well-connected and the highest-ranking among this group of people. When he says no problem, it really means there is no problem.

.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that Master Shan privately gave him five bottles of medicine.

Three bottles of first-level potions and two bottles of second-level potions made Fatty so happy that he couldn't even see them. Not only him, but almost everyone who came to the banquet received private gifts from Master Shan.

Who doesn’t want a slim figure? Who doesn’t want a healthy body?

Although the Bright Potion can treat injuries, it is only for stimulating potential. Not only is it not good for the body, but it will shorten one's life. Who would drink that if nothing happens?

Because Fatty Fatty had experienced it personally, no one would doubt the effectiveness of this potion, because they didn't see Master Shan drinking a bottle of first-level potion as water when nothing happened?

The next day, this weight-loss medicine blew through the entire imperial capital like a hurricane.

A large amount of energy crystals and magic crystals quickly accumulated in the old staff officer's home.

The old staff officer's face was rosy, and the embarrassment and decadence of the past few days were completely gone. Counting the gold coins and medicines given to him by Shan Ye, the old staff officer had the idea of ​​​​quitting his job and simply following Shan Ye.

The money came so quickly, it was basically just a gift to Mr. Shan.

Especially on the second day, many nobles who had used the potion and really saw the effect came to the old staff officer's house like crazy, looking for the magical alchemist. However, they were told that he had opened an alchemy shop in the imperial capital.

Buy weight loss medicines, please be early!

Old Mike has been cleaning the Imperial Capital for many years. The wrinkles on his face have personally witnessed the dilapidation of the Imperial Capital from the very beginning to its current state.

Even though he had lived in the imperial capital for most of his life, Old Mike had never seen so many noble carriages traveling in the same direction. Even for the big hunting that happened every three years, it was incredible for the nobles to swarm in like this.

So looking at the position where everyone was rushing towards, Old Mike couldn't help but frowned, thinking about whether to make a report, but after thinking about it, in order not to cause trouble, he still ended the work early.

............................

One Eye is a gangster in the Imperial Capital, and because he colludes with the City Guards, a subordinate organization of the military department, he is able to collect "sanitary fees" to a certain extent from out-of-town merchants in a fair and open manner.

This sanitation fee is not available to local or small and powerful shops. It is only charged to some out-of-town merchants and those with little background.

This time I heard that there was a new alchemy shop opened on Mague Street, but they didn't come to pay homage to the shop. Not only that, but I heard that there was just a country nobleman supporting the shop. She was a woman, so One-Eye immediately became interested.

In the alchemy shop, many of the equipment are very valuable. Since the other party has brought all the fat to you, wouldn't it be an apology for the other party's kindness if you don't eat it?

So as soon as the store opened today, One Eye started wandering around the area. He felt that it was almost time, so he slowly walked into the store.

After taking a quick look, One Eye became more certain of his guess.

The alchemy items here were, as he thought, all from the countryside. Many items that had been eliminated by the imperial capital long ago were still on the table, which made One Eye even more relieved.

After shaking his robe, Duyan had a hint of scorn in his body: "Call your boss out. I'm from the city guard's assisting defense team, and I'm here to collect health fees."

Several younger brothers behind him immediately surrounded the door, showing a somewhat fierce aura.

There is a reason for collecting health fees. If there are too many, people will complain directly, and the problem will become bigger. But if it is less, One Eye will suffer. Not only does he have to honor the city guards who are not fed enough, but also

I have always wanted to build a relationship with the military department, so I have been spending a lot of money recently, so I thought about doing more in this new store.

However, you should be cautious, one-eyed people will never disappear. After all, this is the imperial capital, not the countryside. If you want to live well, you must have good eyesight.

Not only the investigation, but also the amount needs to be adjusted based on the actual situation of the store, so extortion is also a technical job.

After looking at the layout here, Duyan immediately increased the amount slightly by 10%.

Soon, a young boss walked out with a smile. Seeing the one-eyed man with a ruthless look on his face, the young man seemed a little surprised, but he was just stunned. The smile on the young man's face was...

Disappeared: "You are..."

One-eye repeated his usual majestic address. Seeing the other party's face slowly darken, One-eye narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and prepared to make an offer: "You are under our joint prevention management, so every week you must pay a health fee."

It costs 30 gold coins!”

Seeing the young boss, Duyan once again raised the price of the health fee by half. He was really a rare fat sheep. It happened that his coffers were a little empty, so he took advantage of this fat sheep.

"Is there an organization like the City Guards to assist in defense?" The young boss didn't seem to understand the nature of One-Eye's request for money, so he asked a newly hired clerk next to him in confusion.

That clerk was a native of the Imperial Capital, so he was very familiar with the group of One-Eye people. He immediately lowered his voice and briefly explained the identities of One-Eye and the others.

"Does this kind of organization really exist?" Master Shan suddenly felt dumbfounded after hearing this. Speaking of which, One Eye's team really has a record.

Because the imperial capital continues to expand, but the salary and number of city guards have not kept pace with the expansion, many city guard teams have hired this kind of defense team to help maintain law and order.

Of course, it is definitely not an important place that can keep these assisting defense positions in order. Sending them here is just for show.

Not only does it reduce expenses, but it can also earn some gray income, so this is one of the tacit ways for the city defense army to make money.

With the backing of the city defense army, these helpers are even more shameless than gangsters. They use various charging requirements to line their own pockets, and they often eat and drink for free in some small shops with little strength, and use them for free.

As time went by, I learned where these people came from, and the people in the small shops also dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

So when I heard that One Eye actually wanted 30 gold coins, even though the waiter was very surprised by One Eye's greed, he reminded Shan Ye that he couldn't afford to offend these people, so it was better to pay the money to avoid disaster.

To be honest, Shan Ye really doesn't lack this little money. A bottle of first-level potion only costs 400 gold coins. Even if he gives this little money to the other party, it won't hurt. But Shan Ye's sensitive shadow scouts discovered the approaching carriages.

Later, he changed his mind.

"You are just making up your name and charging fees indiscriminately. I refuse to pay!! I want to sue you!!" Master Shan suddenly became righteous and powerful, which shocked Duyan. Now that he knew the details of these people

, the other party still dares to clamor like this, does he have something to rely on?

However, after taking a closer look, I could see Shan Ye's fierce look and inner lust with one eye. Immediately, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he cursed fiercely: "You are not convinced? I will beat you until you are convinced!!" With a big hand wave, several figures behind him

The young man, who was so strong that he actually had the strength of a first-level professional, pounced on Master Shan and others like a hungry wolf.

After all, hurting someone will result in a lawsuit. A few people pushed away Shan Ye and others who were in the way, and started smashing things in the store. They were so arrogant that the sound could be heard clearly even in the store opposite.

Watching the excitement is something that is inevitable in the entire parallel universe, so after a while, there were a lot of curious eyes around Shanye's alchemy shop.

Shan Ye looked at the extremely proud One Eye, and there was a flash of smile in his eyes. The smile made One Eye tremble, and a bad premonition suddenly flashed in his heart. Accompanying One Eye's premonition, there was an angry roar:

“What are you bastards doing?!”

This voice is very familiar to One Eye, because this person is the protective umbrella of this team, the voice of the city guard squadron leader.

With a thump in his heart, One Eye slowly turned around, only to realize that at some point, there were more than a dozen carriages outside the shop.

If an ordinary person were here, they would at most think that those carriages looked very strong and comfortable. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that ordinary people cannot afford such low-key carriages, which use very expensive materials.

Duyan felt as if his heart was being pinched by someone, and he suddenly felt like he was suffocating.

The strange smile of the young boss in the shop, the almost fire-breathing gaze of the city defense squadron leader a few meters away, and the several nobles next to him who looked like they were either rich or noble, with vaguely angry expressions.

"Stop, fucking stop it!!" One Eye went crazy and threw down those men. After punching and kicking him for a while, he arched his body hard, hunched his shoulders, nodded and came to the squadron leader, his face

That charming smile on his face was almost like a flower: "Squadron Captain, what are your orders?"

Looking at the one-eyed man who nodded and bowed and rubbed his hands, the squadron leader almost exploded with anger. He raised his hand and gave a loud slap in the face: "What's the matter with you? Why did you attack Mr. Sam's shop for no reason?!" The voice was sonorous, like a righteous partner.

Same.

Looking at those eyes full of justice, One Eye knew that he was kicking the iron plate. One Eye had seen these eyes too many times. Every time this look appeared in the eyes of the greedy squadron leader, it proved that,

I've definitely offended someone I can't afford to offend.

"Pfft!" One Eye is also a decisive person, and he immediately knelt in front of Master Shan, kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "Sir Sam, the villain was also blinded by lard, spare the villain this time, spare the villain this time!

!”

It was said with tears and regret.

With runny noses and tears, one eye seemed to have suddenly turned into a criminal who had turned around. His head banged on the bluestone floor and kowtowed. There was absolutely no trace of adulteration. Everyone felt the slight tremor of the ground. (To be continued...
