Chapter 371 Chen Tan

"Thanks to you, miss, my grandfather and I are living a good life now."

Xiaocui showed a big smile and said happily.

"Miss, come with me."

Xiaocui said as she stepped forward and took Princess Ankang's hand, then led her to the back of her stall.

Grandpa Xiaocui, who was busy with his head down, also noticed that there were guests. When he looked up, he saw Princess Ankang and others. He immediately put down what he was doing, wiped his hands, and quickly stood up to greet them, with a natural look on his face. Brings a smile.

"Miss, you are here!"

Grandpa Xiaocui was filled with gratitude for this kind lady who had changed the lives of both his grandfather and grandson.

"Old man, how have you been lately? The people from the Money Gang haven't come to harass you again, have they?"

Princess Ankang immediately asked the question that concerned her most.

"No, no, miss, don't worry."

Grandpa Xiaocui waved his hand and immediately denied it.

"Since you taught them a lesson last time, the Money Gang has not caused any trouble in the West City."

"He even took great care of us, grandfather and grandson, for fear that we would be bullied by others."

"Xiao Cui and I were confused, but we were protected by the Money Gang."

Grandpa Xiaocui said and smiled, looking a little embarrassed.

After hearing these words, the three little ones all breathed a sigh of relief.

It is naturally best for money to help you understand, otherwise it will be very troublesome for both parties if there is a real stalemate.

Princess Ankang acted chivalrously for the first time, but she didn't want it to end in tragedy.

Li Xuan looked around and found that the business in front of this stall was really good.

"Little girl, are you still in business?"

"Why did you start chatting?"

"You won't forget what I want, right? Wrap it up for me quickly!"

The customers waiting in front of the booth started urging him.

Xiao Cui opened her mouth. She originally planned to close the stall today and then have a good talk with Princess Ankang later.

But Princess Ankang seemed to have seen Xiao Cui's plan, and stretched out her hand to stop her, and then said: "Xiao Cui, you and your grandfather are busy first. Let's take a look around the West Market. When you are not busy later, we Come see you again, okay?”

"this……"

Xiaocui seemed a little hesitant.

On the one hand, she felt that such words were a slight to Princess Ankang.

On the other hand, the daily income from selling knots is also a very important income for her and her grandfather.

Seeing Xiaocui hesitate, Princess Ankang immediately made the decision:

"It's settled, we'll come back later."

After saying that, Princess Ankang waved to her grandfather and grandson, then hugged Li Xuan and left here, followed closely by Monk Yu'er and Chief Shang.

"Hey, miss..."

Xiao Cui stood on tiptoe and was about to call Princess Ankang, but found that Princess Ankang could no longer be found in the dense flow of people.

"Why can't you see me as soon as you walk out?"

Xiaocui suddenly looked confused.

At this time, Grandpa Xiaocui greeted:

"Xiao Cui, greet the guests first. Let's close the stall early today and treat Miss Li to a light meal in the evening."

"I just don't know if Miss Li is willing to show her favor."

Grandpa Xiaocui said, looking worried.

Logically speaking, he has lived a long life and has seen a lot of the world, but at this time he feels as cramped as a child.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the lady will definitely appreciate you."

Xiaocui comforted her grandfather, and then went on to greet the guests.

Grandpa Xiaocui stopped making knots at the stall and began to greet the customers with Xiaocui.

When there was a need for custom-made knots, they just took note of them and said they were too busy these days and needed to be delivered later.

Although the grandfather and grandson live in poverty, they also understand that there is no end to their money.

Their knots can be sold every day, but Princess Ankang comes only once.

After closing the stall today, both grandfather and grandson had something big to look forward to. They greeted the customers and worked extremely hard, just thinking of finishing the sales and closing the stall quickly.

"Your Highness, it seems that Xiaocui and her grandfather were not harassed again."

Yu'er said happily.

Princess Ankang nodded, feeling relieved.

After she returned to the palace last time, what she was most worried about was that Xiaocui and her grandfather would be retaliated by the money gang.

When the time comes, even if Princess Ankang can avenge them, the damage suffered by the grandfather and grandson will be irreparable.

Fortunately, this worst-case scenario did not happen.

At this time, Manager Shang rarely asked:

"Your Highness Ankang, are those two people you mentioned before being persecuted by the Money Gang?"

Previously, Princess Ankang only entrusted Zhao Feng with the matter of Xiaocui and her grandfather.

After all, Zhao Feng is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and because he comes to teach Yu'er martial arts every morning, he has more opportunities to meet the three little ones.

Only before setting off this morning, Princess Ankang said who she was going to visit on this trip.

When Princess Ankang came today, she actually wanted to let Manager Shang get to know Xiaocui and her grandfather.

There were some things she couldn't say clearly.

But there is no harm in letting Mr. Shang know about this relationship.

Princess Ankang nodded, and then asked Manager Shang:

"Does Manager Shang know anything about this Money Gang?"

"Heard a little bit."

Manager Shang smiled slightly and nodded.

The group of people wandered along the bustling West Market, returning to their previous state of silently giving way without being noticed by passers-by.

Manager Shang also talked about his understanding of the Money Gang.

"The Money Gang, as its name suggests, was established to gather the world's wealth."

"The leader of the gang, Chen Tan, has extraordinary strength. People in the world gave him the nickname 'Epiphyllum One Finger'."

Hearing this strange nickname, Princess Ankang couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Shang, what does this 'finger of a flash in the pan' mean?"

"It is said that Chen Tan is good at a very powerful fingering technique." Manager Shang explained, then raised his hand to snap his fingers, and continued: "A snap of his fingers can mean the difference between life and death."

This statement made the three little ones feel shocked at the same time.

"No wonder the Money Gang has become so big. Their gang leader seems to be a ruthless character."

"I just don't know how this person compares to the supreme Ouchi master?"

Previously, Li Xuan had seen Zhao Feng use a powerful finger technique.

I wonder how Chen Tan, the leader of the Money Gang, compares with him?

Li Xuan would not underestimate Jianghu people. If he could create such a large underground gang in the capital, Chen Tan would definitely not be a simple character.

“Speaking of this ‘Ephemeral Finger’, the strongest thing is not his fingering technique, but his long-sleeved and dancing style.”

"As long as you can make money, the Money Gang will do it."

"There are also many people who are willing to cooperate with the Money Gang to make money."

"It has been nearly twenty years since the Money Gang rose, but until today, in this capital city, the Money Gang has never suffered a big fall."

Li Xuan can understand what Manager Shang said.

In this capital city, the forces are intertwined and the interests are entangled like a mess.

When you become friends with one force, you are likely to become the opposite of the other force. This is an unavoidable fact.

Money Gang cooperates with others to achieve win-win results and develop, but there are always people who don't want to see this happen.

However, after twenty years of development, the Money Gang has become stronger and stronger. Until its current scale, it can be seen that they have made most of the correct decisions in dealing with complex interest issues.

To be honest, this ability makes Li Xuan a little envious.

Isn't it this ability to make friends with others that he lacks now?

From this point of view, it seems that it is not unusual for the fourth prince to be familiar with Yang Wanli, the deputy leader of the Money Gang.

On the contrary, considering the positions of the Money Gang and the Fourth Prince, it is strange that they do not know each other.

"That is to say, as long as this money gang can make money, they will do anything, right?"

Princess Ankang extracted the keywords.

"That's true in theory."

Manager Shang nodded, and then continued:

"With Chen Tan's acting style, if someone can give him enough benefits, he might be able to give up his position as leader of the Money Gang directly."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this:

"This Gang Leader Chen is a money-loving leader."

…

at the same time.

At the other end of the West Market.

A group of people headed outside the West City in a furious manner.

The first person was a rather dignified and handsome middle-aged man.

This man is tall and slender, and his clothes are exquisite and well-dressed.

A typical handsome man, with a few strands of white hair on his temples adding to his mature charm.

Compared with his excellent appearance, his hands are particularly eye-catching.

A man's hands are better maintained than an ordinary woman's.

The ten fingers are like white jade, without any flaws.

"Gang Leader, don't you want to say hello to His Highness?"

Yang Wanli, the deputy gang leader of the Money Gang, hurried behind this person and asked in confusion.

"Well, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter to deal with. I'm afraid I have to leave for a while."

The handsome uncle said seriously.

"Wan Li, during my absence, the affairs of the capital still need to be shouldered by you, so don't let me down."

As he said this, he turned around and patted Yang Wanli on the shoulder to encourage him.

"You have been the deputy gang leader for several years. It's time to take the next step."

"Behave well and I'll take good care of you!"

After that, the handsome uncle continued to move forward.

His pace seemed unpleasant, but Yang Wanli and others behind him had a hard time following.

But this time, as soon as they turned around, they could no longer find the figure in front of them.

"Where's the gang leader?"

"Where did such a big gang leader go?"

Several voices sounded behind Yang Wanli. These were the backbone of the Money Gang.

Today they got news that Princess Ankang would come to the West Market, so they came here specially, intending to show their goodwill to Princess Ankang and completely deal with the previous unpleasantness.

Making enemies with the royal family is not the style of their money gang.

Even if Princess Ankang's presence is not that high, the Money Gang still attaches great importance to her.

Just in the past few days, the gang leader who had gone south to finish some work returned. In order to express the highest sincerity, a group of money gang executives came together. They just wanted to have a wonderful encounter with Princess Ankang and forget all the unpleasantness before.

But for some reason, not long after arriving in West Market, their gang leader changed his mind and now left in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Gang Leader?"

"Didn't you just come back from doing something?"

"Why did you go out again?"

Several senior officials of the Money Gang immediately started talking around Yang Wanli.

"Old Yang, what should we do about today's matter?"

"Should we still greet that prince?"

"Without the leader, it seems that we are not sincere enough?"

"The last time Old Yang went to see that prince alone, he didn't look very happy."

"I heard that if the fourth prince hadn't come forward, Old Yang would have been in trouble."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, but Yang Wanli didn't want to listen at all.

After so many years, he knew what kind of character this leader was.

"You want me to go further?"

"I'm the deputy leader, where do you want me to go?"

"Did this bastard see his old lover again?"

Yang Wanli looked around in horror, especially at those mature women who still had charm.

Every time their leader wanted to throw the gang to him, he was beaten up by an unknown mature woman within three days, and forced to ask him about the whereabouts of the leader.

And their gang leader was like a mouse that smelled cat, hiding in some hole every time, leaving Yang Wanli alone to face all the difficulties and dangers.

Yang Wanli recalled all the bad experiences in the past, and looked at the mature women passing by on the street, and a drop of cold sweat dripped unconsciously.

"Be alert, send me back to the gang station first!"

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what Yang Wanli meant.

But seeing that Yang Wanli looked serious, it seemed that he was not joking, everyone perked up.

"Old Yang, what's wrong?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

Yang Wanli said in a deep voice, and then hurried away under the escort of a group of high-level members of the Jinqian Gang.

...

Manager Shang accompanied the three little ones shopping, and suddenly felt something, looking towards the other end of the West Market, with a smile on his lips.

Li Xuan lay in the arms of Princess Ankang, squinting his eyes and pretending to sleep, but he was always paying attention to Manager Shang who was following them.

He squinted his eyes and saw Manager Shang suddenly smile slightly, and his heart moved.

Originally, Li Xuan was just observing the movements of Shang Zongguan when he used his ability, but he didn't expect to see Shang Zongguan's smile.

"What is Shang Zongguan laughing at?"

"Is there anyone he cares about?"

Li Xuan wanted to stretch his neck to look back, but he was pretending to be asleep, which was obviously inappropriate.

At this moment, Li Xuan found that Shang Zongguan turned his head to look at him, and the smile on his face became more obvious.

Li Xuan's heart tightened immediately, and he immediately buried his head in Princess Ankang's arms, and never listened to anything else.

"Ah Xuan, you are still so clingy at such a age!"

Princess Ankang noticed Li Xuan's movements and laughed and joked, but she held the little cutie in her arms tightly to make him feel more comfortable.

When they walked around and were about to return to Xiao Cui and her grandfather's stall, someone came over from the opposite side.

"Miss, here, here!"

Princess Ankang looked up and found that it was Xiao Cui and her grandfather, each carrying a bag.

Apparently, the grandfather and grandson closed the stall in advance and came directly.

Thanks to "天使爱説笑" for the reward support.

Thanks to all the book friends for the monthly ticket support.

Thanks to "尼雅还有MinNa" for providing the character vest.
