Chapter 656: The Old Man by the Lake
Just as we were eating, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and four or five men dressed in black walked in, with sharp eyes, who walked in and glanced around before heading straight to the counter.
The owner of the restaurant saw a few people coming in, his face froze, but he changed to a smiling face to greet him: "Are you a big brother who eats for a long time? As he spoke, he stepped aside and prepared to lead a few people into the private room.
"Boss Zhang, business is good these days, but the brothers are not here to eat today, it's almost the end of the month, you won't forget the money you should pay, right?" The man who took the lead looked at the enthusiastic boss in front of him and said with a smile, and casually glanced around the hall here, the seats were full, and the business was not ordinarily good.
"Where is this, how dare I owe you this money, but isn't there still a few days?" The boss surnamed Zhang was slightly fat, and he smiled like Maitreya Buddha, looking at the people in front of him also had some worries, the other party was a standard underworld, and he was a businessman, and these people must not be offended.
"This month is a little special, the hand is a little tight, a few days in advance, next month will be normal ......" Several people showed a look of impatience on their faces, looked at the boss in front of them and said, the most annoying thing about collecting protection money is that the other party chirps crookedly, and it is not happy at all.
The fat boss didn't say anything more, he had to pay money every month, it was already a law, he counted a stack of tickets from the counter, a total of thirty, three thousand yuan, picked up a pack of soft China casually, and handed it to a few people together: "A few big brothers count and see...... Why don't you eat here and go? ”
took the money, didn't count it, shook his head and refused the boss's politeness, dropped a sentence that business was booming, and a few people turned around and left.
The protection fee of 3,000 yuan is not much for this restaurant, so the boss is happy to pay the money, but after all, it is 3,000 yuan, and it is still painful.
"Boss, who are these people?" Qin Feng and Huangfu Rose were sitting not far from the counter, and they also saw the scene just now, and asked a little curiously.
"Who else can it be, the people of the Green Gang......" The fat boss didn't hide this matter when he saw that there were guests smelling it, and he just sat on the chair next to him and said casually.
"I saw it just now, the protection fee of 3,000 yuan is a lot, do other families pay it like this?" Qin Feng then asked, there are really a lot of such stores on this street, so that those people can be regarded as a lot of income just to collect protection money.
The fat boss glanced at Qin Feng, and didn't know what this young man was asking for, but he still said: "This is not necessarily, according to the profit in the store, the more you earn, the more you pay, but it is barely within the range of bearing." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly, after all, it was all hard-earned money, and it was still a little reluctant to hand it over to the other party like this.
The matter of underworld people collecting care fees also exists everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an unspoken rule between businessmen and those who mix with the gangsters, and those who do business hand over a fixed percentage of their income every month, and those people can provide you with shelter and come forward to solve it when you encounter trouble, although there are some illegal colors, and even if you forcibly do not pay, you can deliberately cause you trouble, but such a method has become popular in most places in the country, and most people can be regarded as acquiescing to this fact.
There is such a situation here, I also encountered a similar situation when I was in Quyang, but the other party is not a standard underworld, just some ruffians and hooligans, and these regularized underworlds cannot be compared at all, more importantly, those people never do anything after receiving money, and they come to ask for it when they have nothing to do and lack money, they are simply vampires, which is also the biggest difference between gangsters and underworlds who can't get on the table.
The underworld organization is a group of influencers, with its own dogmatic goals, although it is involved in the underworld, it does not necessarily do bad things, but those gangsters and ruffians can only be said to be useless, typical social dregs.
After chatting a few more words, I have some general understanding of the invitation of the Green Gang here, compared to the local ones in the East China Sea, although the Green Gang here is still nominally a Green Gang, but it is more like an independent gang, and this is also what Qin Feng wants to see, the more so, the greater the chance of persuading the North King.
After eating, drive to continue north, although has entered the boundary of Shandong, but there is still a short distance, in the afternoon to arrive in Jinan, as for what to do after the past, for the time being, it is not in the scope of consideration.
After entering Shandong, it belongs to the realm of the Northern King, even Huang Furen did not dare to make another time, and it was a lot more stable along the way, two hours later, a majestic mountain appeared in front of him, and when he saw the legendary Mount Tai, Qin Feng knew that his destination was almost there.
"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains and small ...... If you have the opportunity, go up to Mount Tai to have a look, I have long been curious about this place, and I have never had a chance. Looking at the mountain outside the car window in the distance, Qin Feng smiled at the avenue, at least a man with a little pride in his heart, when he saw this mountain, he couldn't help but have an urge to step on it.
Huangfu Rose nodded and glanced at the man next to him, such a man should achieve his own hegemony and let everyone look up.
Jinan is a very beautiful city, this is a well-known fact, if nothing is okay to travel here is not a beautiful thing, but this time the purpose of this visit is not here.
A manor on the shore of Daming Lake that looks like it has been some years, Qin Feng parked his car outside, this is the destination of this visit, the headquarters of the Northern Youth Gang, and it is also the residence of the so-called Northern King.
Before he got closer, the car was stopped by a few big men in black, staring at the two people in the car with a fierce face, his hands were already on his waist, at least the slightest movement in the car could be the first time to pull out the gun and shoot, the overall quality was definitely not weak, then again, how could the guard strength of the northern youth gang be weak.
Opening the car door, since he came here to ask for something, of course the posture had to be enough, looking at the few black-clothed men in front of him, Qin Feng smiled and said: "Please inform the King of the North, just say that Huangfu Rose wants to see him." "At this time, it may be useful to report the name of Huangfu Rose, as for Qin Feng to report to his family and say that he is Qin Feng, I am afraid that people really don't bird themselves.
The answer he got made Qin Feng a little unexpected, the North King was not there, and he was a little disappointed, but he also knew that if the dignified North King didn't want to meet the guests, he wouldn't have such a reason to prevaricate, so he refused directly, and the only explanation was that he was really not there.
Driving the car away, Huangfu Rose sat in the co-pilot with some disappointment.
"It's not a big deal, it's good to have fun while it's a good time. Saying this, the car walked around Daming Lake, and Qin Feng had already heard of this place.
The lake is beautiful, especially in winter, when the air temperature is absolutely below freezing, but the surface of the lake is not frozen, which is a miracle.
Standing by the lake, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "Daming Lake, it is rumored that the place where Qianlong Ye had an affair at the beginning, do you think it is possible for me to have a beautiful encounter here and meet a girl holding an oil-paper umbrella?"
Huangfu Rose glanced at Qin Feng angrily: "Don't even think about it, I'm watching, if you want to have an affair, pass me first and then talk about ......it" As she spoke, she stretched out her foot and kicked Qin Feng directly in the leg, Qin Feng was fine, but it made the woman frown in pain.
"Hehe, this is what you asked for, your little arms and legs ......" Qin Feng pursed his lips and smiled, although Huangfu Rose also learned kung fu with Huang Baichuan, but he can only have the ability to protect himself, and there is still a gap between him and a first-class master.
Huangfu Rose frowned slightly, and glanced at Qin Feng: "It's not all because you ......" After speaking, he twisted his legs unconsciously, and there was still some pain in the middle, it was not the pain of kicking Qin Feng's leg just now, the battle at noon yesterday, this man was simply not human, which made her want to die, although it was not the first time to do something like that, but it was still a little inconvenient after the incident, although walking did not have much impact, but now the movement is slightly violent and there is still a little strange feeling.
I already understood the meaning in an instant, and immediately laughed, my eyes were full of pride, "You asked for it yourself at the time, don't blame me." ”
"Who would have thought that you would be like an animal, and I won't play with you next time. Huangfu Rose pouted and said with some dissatisfaction.
Qin Feng is not afraid of such a threat, women will also be in need, and I am afraid that she will not be able to help herself when the time comes......
Although Daming Lake is a more famous scenic spot, there are not many tourists around, that is, some surrounding residents, who take a walk and exercise when they have nothing to do.
In a clearing by the lake, a figure attracted Qin Feng's attention, an old man, who looked to be about sixty years old, walking in a white robe, alone by the lake, a set of Hong fists and flowing water, which made Qin Feng's eyes light up, and he had secretly noticed in his heart that this old man was not simple.
Although it was just a simple set of Hong boxing, it seemed ordinary to others, but Qin Feng saw something called momentum in it, and a simple set of boxing techniques to strengthen the body can be practiced to such an extent in his hands, which is enough to prove that this old man is special, which makes Qin Feng also have a strong interest.
Huangfu Rose followed Qin Feng's eyes and also noticed this old man who was boxing alone, his observation was not as subtle as Qin Feng's, but she could also detect the abnormality of this old man, just the kind of momentum on his body she had felt from Huang Baichuan's body, and it was even stronger......
A set of boxing techniques flowed smoothly, not caring at all about the two young people around him who had noticed him, ten minutes later, he closed his fists and held his breath, and finally completed a set of boxing techniques, and his eyes also looked at a pair of men and women here, the old man smiled, and his voice was flat: "The two little friends also have a study of Hong Boxing?"
Qin Feng nodded slightly: "It's just a little understanding, but you can have such attainments in Hongquan now, and the old gentleman can be regarded as one of the best, boy, I really admire it......" He clasped his fists slightly and saluted, and he couldn't help but admire between his eyebrows.
The white-robed old man looked Qin Feng up and down, his eyes flashed, and there was a hint of surprise in his expression: "The young man is not simple, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves...... Unlimited......" nodded to himself, didn't say much, put his hands behind his back, took a deep look at Qin Feng and Huangfu Rose, and left directly.
"This old man is interesting, but it seems to be quite mysterious. Looking at the back of the old man leaving step by step, Huangfu Rose said with interest.
"I think we'll meet again......" Qin Feng smiled indifferently, with a thoughtful expression......
