In an instant, eight men who were also wearing camouflage uniforms, or smoking cigarettes with open arms or arms around each other, rushed in, and suddenly filled the already small courtyard of Xiao Ruifang's house.

And the man who led in looked like he was forty years old, not tall, and had two thick mustaches, especially the posture of slanting his little eyes and looking east and west as soon as he entered the door, it was the person who Pang Xuefeng and Jiang Mingfei came to Xianjingzhuang Village together last time, and collected tolls at the intersection of the village by holding funerals.

"Is that you?" The mustache Ji Xinsheng still looked good, and he recognized Pang Xuefeng standing at the front at a glance.

"Yes, that's me. Since the last charging incident, Pang Xuefeng didn't have a good impression of this mustache, so he also said-for-tat.

Wu Yanbin and Xiao Ruifang were stunned when they heard it, and Xiao Ruifang immediately asked, "Xuefeng, do you know this person?"

Pang Xuefeng sneered and said, "I don't know anything, it's just that I have met once." ”

Although they said that, Xiao Ruifang and Wu Yanbin could see from Pang Xuefeng's cold expression that there must be something in between, and it was definitely not as simple as just having a face-to-face.

"What are you doing here? Are you the one who rents the old sheep's house?" Seeing that Pang Xuefeng actually came to his own territory, compared to the last time he was on the road, the mustache's attitude at this time was even more unbeatable.

And the old sheep head in his mouth is the original owner of this house, the reason why it is called the old sheep head is known as soon as you hear the name, because the old Yang head was originally in the village to raise sheep and sell sheep girls for a living, and later the son of the old sheep head bought a house in Jianglin City, and the old sheep head also moved over, and entrusted the old house to the neighbor to take care of, Xiao Ruifang's family rented a house this time, and it was the neighbor who handled it.

Pang Xuefeng saw it in his eyes, smiled coldly and said, "It's not me who rents the house, but it's my girlfriend's family, what's wrong?"

What the?

Your girlfriend?

Hearing Pang Xuefeng say this, Wu Yanbin was suddenly a little stunned, Dai Xiaoxue immediately looked at Pang Xuefeng, and Xiao Ruifang's family was even more foggy!

When did Xiao Ruifang become your girlfriend?

But everyone is not stupid, when they saw the posture of the group of people who came in, they immediately understood the intention of Pang Xuefeng's words, this is to block their family!

"Your girlfriend?" But at this time, the mustache's small eyes immediately glanced around the people in the courtyard, and then suddenly saw Wu Yanbin in the crowd, "Wu Yanbin, why are you here?"

Wu Yanbin couldn't avoid this time when he saw what was going on, so he took a step forward and said, "Sixth brother, this new resident is my friend, isn't this right next to Slender Lake, I'll come here today when I'm idle and have nothing to do." ”

In Xianjingzhuang Village, most of the people are surnamed Wu, and the mustache's real name is Wu Liancheng, although he is not a direct relative of Wu Yanbin, but if he is ranked according to the genealogy of the older generation in the village, then Wu Yanbin really calls him a brother.

"Your friend, huh!" After hearing Wu Yanbin's words, the mustache immediately sneered, "Since it's your friend, why didn't I hear that you came to help when they moved in three days ago?

Hearing that his lie was being pierced, Wu Yanbin's face did not change any expression, but he still stood firmly in front of Xiao Ruifang under his feet, and did not leave half a step.

Pang Xuefeng looked at it and said, "Come on, don't talk about so many useless things, let's say, what are you doing here today?"

The mustache was happy when he heard it, "Yo, yes, in the three-acre land of Xianjingzhuang, there has never been anyone who dares to talk to me like this, okay, you have a kind!"

After sneering again, the mustache said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you anymore, just pay the money!"

Pang Xuefeng frowned slightly, and his face turned cold, "Pay the money, we have already paid the rent, what else do we have to pay?"

The mustache plucked his ears with his little fingers and said casually, "Outside tenant security fees." ”

As soon as she heard what kind of security fee this was, Xiao Ruifang suddenly remembered that when she accompanied her mother to the thin lake for a walk for the first time that day, she met Wu Yanbin, and that time, Wu Yanbin had already hinted that someone would come to collect any fees.

It turned out that Wu Yanbin came just now to tell himself this, probably because he was afraid that he was not used to the rules of the village, so he specially came to remind himself, thinking of this, Xiao Ruifang's impression of Wu Yanbin was a little better.

Pang Xuefeng also thought about it after hearing it, don't you say it, when I used to live in my hometown in Yanxi County, there was really such an item in the village.

Due to the lack of police force in our country, the most basic police station can only be spread to the county and township level, and it is impossible for the village below to set up a separate police agency.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem of public order at the grassroots level, under the guidance of the police stations at the county and township levels, some people have been organized in each village on their own initiative, and the most basic public security unit at the village level has been formed, that is, the public security joint defense team.

However, this so-called public security joint defense team is not officially established in the state, so it is impossible to enjoy the salary of the state, so in addition to a small part of the allowance allocated by the higher police unit, it can only rely on its own funds to maintain normal operation, for example, the foreign tenant security fee mentioned by the mustache is one of them.

However, the so-called security fees for foreign tenants are generally paid by the public security joint defense team to the residents of the village, on a quarterly or annual basis, but if you want to collect it from the tenants who come to the village, you have to say that you don't pay it, which is reasonable, because we are not from your village, and there is no relevant legal provisions as a basis, so you can collect the landlord's security fee, and it has nothing to do with me.

But the problem is that now you are living on other people's land, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head of the snake, you must know that in our rural areas of China, there are not many people who can correctly understand the spirit of the article, but there are many people who make a big fuss about the content of the article, all of them say that most of the time, especially when you are an outsider, it seems a little ridiculous to reason with people like them.

What's more, in some places, this security joint defense team dressed in the cloak of legality itself is composed of a group of people who have at most elementary school education, or simply some idle people in the village.

And most of the time, this kind of person is the village chief or some implicated relatives of the village party secretary, to put it bluntly, this is the most common family power in the countryside.

Therefore, if the people of the joint defense team have to collect this security fee, sometimes in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, they will pay it.

Thinking of this, Pang Xuefeng asked, "Then who are you?"

The mustache slowly took out a worn-out red armband from his pocket, shook it in front of Pang Xuefeng's face, and then said, "The public security joint defense team." ”

"Okay, then you say, how much?" Since it is really a public security joint defense team, then Pang Xuefeng will not say anything more, just follow the customs.

is still the same sentence, if Pang Xuefeng is alone, then it is easy to say anything, and if he doesn't pay it, he won't pay it, but after all, it is Xiao Ruifang's family who want to live here for a long time, and he can't protect them here all the time, so in order to save worry, let's do it.

After hearing Pang Xuefeng's words, the mustache smiled loudly, "Eh! That's right! Just like when I was on the road that day, the ink came and went, and in the end, I still had to pay obediently." ”

Pang Xuefeng looked at him coldly and didn't say anything.

"Well, three hundred. The mustache said.

Three hundred?

Pang Xuefeng thought about it, yes, 300 yuan a year can be regarded as barely over, although each family in his hometown is five yuan per person per month, so if the 300 yuan is apportioned, it will be less than 30 yuan a month, Pang Xuefeng, who grew up in his hometown, knows that although the price is a bit high, it is not too outrageous.

So Pang Xuefeng was about to take out the money from the wallet, and said, "Okay, three hundred yuan a year, right." ”

Xiao Ruifang saw that Pang Xuefeng was going to pay for his own pocket, so he immediately came up to stop him and said, "Xuefeng, no, no, no, how can you pay this money, I have it." ”

But just when the two were arguing about who would pay for it, the mustache suddenly smiled coldly, "Wait a minute, what did you just say? Three hundred yuan a year?"

After hearing the mustache's words, Pang Xuefeng and Xiao Ruifang stopped arguing, and Pang Xuefeng asked in wonder, "What do you mean? Isn't it three hundred yuan a year?"

"Three hundred yuan a year, do you really have to eat when we grow up drinking the northwest wind, three hundred yuan a month!" The mustache said disdainfully.

What the?

After hearing this price, in order for Xiao Ruifang's family to live here in peace, Pang Xuefeng, who had been suppressing his anger, couldn't hold back any longer, "Three hundred yuan a month? What is the difference between you and Ming robbery? The rent for a month is only five hundred yuan, and your security expenses for this month will be three hundred, who gave you the power?"

When Wu Yanbin heard this, he immediately said, "Sixth brother, you are doing this a bit too much, right? When our village used to collect security fees, it was only ...... per person per month."

But before Wu Yanbin finished speaking, the mustache immediately interrupted him, "Wu Yanbin, I warn you, you have to know what your surname is, and you actually helped an outsider talk to me like this, if it weren't for the fact that you once helped my family's second child, I would have to break your dog's leg at a time." ”

After speaking, the mustache said to Pang Xuefeng again, "What's the matter, can't you pay it? If you can't pay it, roll up the bed and get out, and no one is in a hurry to beg you to come here to live!"

Pang Xuefeng stared coldly at the mustache's eyes, and finally understood, it seems that this guy still remembers that he didn't pay the money on the road last time, this is to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on himself!

Pang Xuefeng knew that paying 300 yuan was a trivial matter, but the problem was that he paid 300 yuan for the virtue of the mustache, and he paid 300 yuan for public security today, and tomorrow he might come up with a fee of some other name, so this head must not be opened.

"And what if I don't pay it?"

"Don't pay it?"

After speaking, the mustache raised his hand to the six or seven ruffian guys he brought, and the posture of the head snake finally broke out completely, "Brothers, enter the house! If you see anything valuable, you will move it away for me, his daughter and horse, in our territory, dare to be so blind, who dares to stop me and beat me to death, I am responsible for what happened!"
