Chapter 73 Chengtian Gang

Xu Shisan and Shen Zhizhi were sitting at the stone table in the small courtyard. Xia Ke'er was busy in the kitchen, making tea for Xu Shisan and bringing him cakes.

Seeing that Xia Ke'er was still so polite to him, Xu Shisan hurriedly said, "Ke'er, stop busying yourself and come and sit here."

"Okay, here we come."

Xia Keren took out a few pieces of unsold crystal cakes of each flavor and placed them on a plate, then placed the plate on the stone table.

"Brother, try this. This is the crystal cake I made myself."

The word "brother" touched Xu Shisan's heart. He felt his nose sore and his eyes became moist unconsciously.

Xu Shisan picked up a piece of crystal cake and took a bite. The faint flavor of osmanthus lingered in his mouth before he swallowed it.

The taste seems familiar.

Shen Zhizhi, who was standing aside, was very shameless. He picked up a piece and started eating without waiting for Xia Keer to be polite.

After taking a bite, Shen Zhi just praised repeatedly: "Wow! It's delicious! Sister, what kind of pastry is this? It's so delicious? Did you make this yourself?"

"If it tastes good, eat more. This is the crystal cake I made myself. There are sweet-scented osmanthus flavors, red bean flavors, and jujube paste flavors. You can try them all."

"Thank you sister."

Shen Zhizhi became even more impolite. She hadn't eaten since last night and was already starving. She picked up a few pieces of crystal cakes and ate them one by one.

Xia Ke'er looked at Xu Shisan again: "Brother, how is it? Is my cooking delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious. It tastes as good as the crystal cake made by Jixiangzhai before." Xu Shisan nodded and praised.

"Brother, do you still remember that Uncle Ji told me the secret recipe of this crystal cake before he moved away? You forgot that we were working in Jixiangzhai at that time, and Uncle Ji took good care of us. Since you went to the training camp, I was alone there, so Uncle Ji taught me how to make cakes, but he didn't tell me the recipe at that time."

"After you went to the national training camp, Uncle Ji also moved to Xihe District. Before he left, he gave me the secret recipe for making crystal cakes. From then on, I started making crystal cakes and selling them on the street."

After Xia Ke'er finished saying this, Shen Zhizhi, who was eating lunch nearby, immediately heard the key points.

Just now Xia Ke'er mentioned "training camp" and "national training camp". Shen Zhizhi swallowed the bulging crystal cake in her mouth and asked hurriedly: "Sister, you just said that this guy went to the national training camp? He is a student in the national training camp?"

Xia Ke'er's little brain was not good at thinking fluently. She answered whatever Shen Zhizhi asked, "Yes, my brother went to the national training camp three years ago."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhizhi immediately accused Xu Shisan of the crime: "Well, you are actually a student in the national training camp, and you even lied to me that you were posting advertisements on the street. You are full of lies!"

"You're stupid, that's why you believed it." Xu Shisan retorted.

"You're the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"

After retorting, Shen Zhizhi immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. Xia Ke'er was Xu Shisan's sister, and her words just now did not implicate Xia Ke'er as well.

So Shen Zhizhi immediately smiled at Xia Keer: "Hey, sister, I didn't mean anything about you, I was just talking about him."

"Nothing, you're pretty cute."

Xia Ke'er smiled. How could she care about a little girl's careless words?

At this time, Shen Zhizhi asked Xu Shisan again: "By the way, aren't you a student in the National Training Camp? Did you go to the Summoner's Competition some time ago?"

Shen Zhizhi was not surprised that Xu Shisan was a student in the national training camp, because Xu Shisan had already revealed his identity as a summoner last night, and his lowest level was E.

He came from the imperial capital, and Shen Zhizhi had long guessed that he was either from a training camp, military training, or a national training camp.

Sure enough, this guy is from the national training camp.

"No, I'm not even a substitute for the second team." Xu Shisan denied.

"whispering sound."

Hearing that Xu Shisan was not even a substitute for the second team, Shen Zhizhi curled his lips in disdain.

Xu Shisan didn't argue with her. He looked at Xia Ke'er and asked, "Ke'er, what happened on the street just now? Why did those three people bother you?"

"They are here to collect the booth fee. I have already paid one thousand yuan this month. They want another thousand yuan from me and said that Xixi owes ten thousand yuan at the casino, so they asked me to get the money for her first." Xia Keer explained.

"Booth fee? What booth fee?" Xu Shisan was a little confused.

"It means setting up a stall outside, and paying them a stall fee every month." Xia Keer continued to explain.

"What? Is there such a thing? Is this required by the regulations? Why have I never heard of it before?" Xu Shisan was puzzled.

Then Xia Keer explained from the beginning: "It was like this, two years ago"

After listening to Xia Keer's explanation, Xu Shisan also understood the whole story.

This control center is equivalent to the "police station" in Xu Shisan's world, and is specifically responsible for the public security of this area.

If someone is causing trouble, the control center will definitely intervene.

However, when everyone reported the matter to the control center, the people there turned a blind eye.

Later everyone found out that his sister Zhou Yi married the director of the Northern Control Bureau of Shanhe District and became the director's wife.

What is the Control Board?

There are dozens of towns and villages in the entire Shanhe District, and each town and village has a control station. For example, in Dongxiang Town where Xu Shisan and Xia Ke'er grew up, there is a control station responsible for public security.

However, there are only two control bureaus in the entire Shanhe District.

These two control bureaus manage dozens of control stations.

His brother-in-law, the director, knew about this. However, Zhou Chengtian was quite sensible in his actions and only developed his power in Dongxiang Town, and did not do anything extremely evil.

Although everyone had complaints, due to Zhou Chengtian's identity, no one dared to speak out.

After hearing this story, Xu Shisan did not feel too surprised or incredible.

Whether in the world before Xu Shisan or in this world, is this kind of thing uncommon?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are such troubles.

Whether in ancient times, modern times, or contemporary times, whether in this world or that world, is this kind of thing uncommon?

Is he incredible?
Is there anything new under the sun?

Therefore, Xu Shisan was not surprised about this matter.

However, Shen Zhizhi, who was standing by, was particularly surprised after hearing this story. She naively asked Xia Keer, "Sister Keer, why don't you all unite and go to the capital to file a complaint?"

Hearing this, Xia Ke'er smiled bitterly: "It's not that simple. How can we, the common people, bring them down?"

"Humph! These people are really too much. When I return to the imperial capital, I will definitely tell my grandfather and let him do it."

Having said this, Shen Zhizhi suddenly shut his mouth.

Fortunately, she almost revealed her identity.

"By the way, brother, how did you and sister Zhizhi meet?" Xia Keer suddenly asked curiously.

Shen Zhizhi did not hide this matter. She immediately told Xia Keer briefly about how her father forced her to get married, how she escaped from home and met Xu Shisan at the station, and how she came to Shanhe District with him.

When Xia Keer heard that Shen Zhizhi ran away just to escape her marriage, she thought that this girl was really brave.

Just as the three were chatting, a group of people suddenly came in outside with a lot of noise.

This group of people went straight to Xia Ke'er's small courtyard, and the leader was Liu San, who had just been kicked away by Xu Shisan.

Behind him, there were dozens of people, each holding short sticks, machetes and other weapons.

When they arrived at Xia Keer's door, a younger brother stepped forward and kicked open the wooden door of Xia Keer's house.

"Damn it! Where is the guy who just beat up my third brother on the street?!"

Dozens of people poured into Xia Ke'er's courtyard. Liu San, who was standing in front of him, immediately recognized Xu Shisan, who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard. He said to a burly man with a scar on his face, "Brother, this little bastard is the one who beat me up in the street just now!"

"I even told him your name, but he said Zhang Kui is a piece of shit and told me to roll on the ground and call him grandpa!"

"Brother, don't be angry. I didn't say that. That kid said that."

Hearing Liu San's words, the two younger brothers who had followed Liu San before looked at each other, and couldn't help but give Liu San a thumbs up in their hearts.

Third brother is worthy of being the third brother!
It will take them three years to learn this technique of adding fuel to the fire!
Hearing Liu San's words, scarred Zhang Kui was also very angry. He stepped forward and shouted at Xu Shisan: "It was you who beat up my brother?"

Facing dozens of people coming at him aggressively, Xu Shisan was not afraid at all. He slowly stood up and asked Xia Keer and Shen Zhizhi to stay in the main room first.

Xia Ke'er knew that Xu Shisan was a summoner, and dealing with these ordinary people should not be a problem. Her staying here would only distract Xu Shisan, so she immediately took Shen Zhizhi and hid in the main hall.

As for Shen Jiji, she was even less worried about Xu Shisan, and even wanted these people to beat Xu Shisan up.

But she knew that even if all of these people were combined, they were no match for Xu Shisan.

At this time, Xu Shisan stood up and looked at the dozens of people in front of him, and said coldly: "I will give you three breaths of time, either get out, or be beaten by me so hard that you can't even get up."

"Wow! You're such a cool guy!"

Zhang Kui was not the kind of person who would waste time, so he immediately ordered his younger brothers behind him to take action.

"Brothers, destroy him for me! Let this kid know who the hell is the boss in Dongxiang!"

After receiving Zhang Kui's order, dozens of his younger brothers behind him also rushed towards Xu Shisan, shouting.

But just one minute later, these dozens of people crawled on the ground, holding their stomachs and wailing.

What a joke! Now Xu Shisan can tear ferocious beasts apart with his physical strength alone. Dealing with ordinary people like this is no different from crushing an ant.

But Xu Shisan did not kill them, he just made them unable to stand up.

After all, as a summoner, it would have a bad impact if he killed people indiscriminately.

Seeing that dozens of his brothers were knocked down by the young man in front of him in just one minute, Zhang Kui was not a fool. He immediately knew that this young man was not an ordinary person but must be a summoner.

But he was still not afraid. He retreated outside the yard and threatened Xu Shisan, "Good boy! You have guts! If you have the guts, stay here and don't leave. I'll be here soon!"

Facing Zhang Kui's threat, Xu Shisan did not take it seriously. He said to the dozens of brothers lying on the ground: "Get out within ten breaths, otherwise, I will crush his head!"

After hearing this, the dozens of people lying on the ground immediately rolled and crawled out of the yard, supporting each other.

After dealing with these, Xia Keer and Shen Zhizhi also walked out of the main room.

"Brother, are you okay?" Xia Keren stepped forward and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's okay, these people can't hurt me." Xu Shisan shook his head and touched Xia Keer's little head.

However, Xia Ke'er was still a little worried: "Brother, let's leave Dongxiang Town. You beat someone up. These people are very powerful. Even if you are a summoner, I'm afraid you can't defeat them. Otherwise, let's move away now."
