Some people say well, where there are people, there will be an official government, and where there is an official government, there will be the underworld, although some places announce their own anti-pornography and anti-illegal words every day, but the underworld still exists, for example, Qiao Si in the Northeast back then, said a sentence when he was dying, my Qiao Si is worth it in this life.

It's just that today's underworld has begun to be formalized, and only those people in small places are organized in the form of doing nothing all day long, relying on collecting protection money and the like.

is about to have a holiday, Ye Tianxiong plans to visit some of the five guarantee households in the town, send them some warmth, and then everyone will go to the New Year together.

This visit is done separately, he is only responsible for one piece, other people such as the town mayor Bai Dongshan are responsible for one piece, and the neighboring ones are the deputy mayors and deputy secretaries of the town to visit, and he and Bai Dongshan will visit in the distance, who let the two of them have a special car?

Send warmth to the five guarantee households, there used to be, but they are all according to the natural village and the brigade to distribute, their leaders come to the town to get things back to send, as for whether to send or how much, no one knows, today the town suddenly engaged in this activity, but it made the previous greedy cadres or village chiefs and the like empty-hearted.

"Secretary Wang, it's a bit troublesome now, the new secretary will come to our administrative village to visit the Wubao households, if they poke it out, wouldn't we be able to eat and walk around." Yin Huagang, the village head of Yinmiao Administrative Village, said to Wang Xuan, secretary of the administrative village branch.

The king is not in a hurry, he knows in his heart, isn't he just visiting the five guarantee households? I started to despise Yin Hua, when I first stretched out my hand, this kid was faster than anyone else? Now I really panicked when I encountered something.

"Lao Yin, what are you panicking about? When the sky falls, there is a high top? The withholding of the money of the five guarantee households is not only our place, but also in Dayuan, Liu Miao, and Zhengjia Village, isn't it good to say it? The law does not blame the public, even if the new secretary knows, what if the town is still talking about Mayor Bai? ”

These cadres in the villages and streets under Caoshi Town are not very optimistic about the new secretary Ye Tianxiong, if Ye Tianxiong is thirty or forty years old, they may still be optimistic about him, but Ye Tianxiong is just a hairy boy, they take it for granted that he is not Bai Dongshan's opponent, who is Bai Dongshan? When the old secretary was there, he dared to slap the table. Not to mention the new doll secretary?

"What the secretary said is, Lao Yin, don't be afraid, I have already comrades under the cadres, let them do the work in the village, if anyone dares to think of the new secretary to sue, don't want to get the subsidy next year, I believe they don't dare to talk nonsense." Yuan Biao, the propaganda cadre of the natural village, said fiercely.

On the current Yin Temple side, basically the three of them are the ones who speak, and the clerks below, even they don't have any level, but the power is not small. The people below gave them nicknames, Wang Xuan's nickname was Hemp, Yin Huagang's nickname was Bai Jarzi, and as for Yuan Biao's, it was even more ugly to hear the white dog.

The reason why he is called so is that this kid is too bad, since he became a cadre in the village, it seems that he has not done a good thing for the villagers, and when it comes to asking for money, he runs faster than anyone else.

"That's fine."

"Lao Yin, you're still too careful, it's just a doll secretary, we can't fool him, besides, he's just taking a few looks, let's satisfy his wishes."

Ye Tianxiong naturally didn't know that someone below had begun to fool him, at this time he had already taken someone else's car to Yinmiao Street, as for the blue bird, he asked Ma Wenxiang to bring something over the next day, he came here mainly to inspect first, to see how to help the people get rich, so that the GDP of Cao Shi Town rose.

"Sanwazi, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's the second uncle, I'll go to Lao Nantou's house to have a look, and the town has explained the task."

"Mission, what mission will be explained in this town? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"If you hear that the secretary has asked you to do it, don't say anything, come to my place and drink at night."

Ye Tianxiong heard the voices of the simple villagers as soon as he got out of the car, although it was afternoon, there were still many people on the street, after all, he only came once every two days, and the Chinese New Year was approaching, so he naturally needed to buy things.

"Uncle, do you want to ask you something?" Ye Tianxiong found a small shop selling tobacco and alcohol, and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" The seller of tobacco and alcohol is warm-hearted, said at the moment.

Ye Tianxiong asked, "Uncle, are there five guarantee households on this street?" ”

"Five guarantees? Yes, there are a few in the south of the street where the old Wu family is on the east side of the street, I said, what are you looking for five guarantee households? After answering Ye Tianxiong's question, Lao Wang looked at Ye Tianxiong strangely.

"Oh, that's right, my father said on his deathbed that he had received a great favor from the family here before, and asked me to come over to repay the kindness, as for the surname, I don't know, but it was said that the five guarantee households, I just asked."

"In this case, you can find it yourself, anyway, there are only a few here, compared to the possibility that there is someone you are looking for?"

Ye Tianxiong hurriedly thanked him, and then walked in the direction pointed by the old man.

"Strange, huh?"

"Lao Wang, what's so strange?" A man who came to buy cigarettes heard Lao Wang's words and asked immediately.

"Just now, a young man asked me about the five guarantee households, and said that his father had received great favors from others, and I knew about several five guarantee households on the street, and they had never gone out."

Speaking unintentionally, it sounds heartful, this person who buys cigarettes is also a cadre in the village, and he is also clear about deducting the funds of the five guarantee households, and he is also a beneficiary, they can get dozens to hundreds of red envelopes from it every year?

"Maybe, you don't know?"

"Maybe."

"Give you money."

After the cadre paid the money, he quickly followed the room type pointed out by Lao Wang, Ye Tianxiong didn't pay attention at first, but later found that someone was following him, he was not in a hurry, but walked slowly.

The man who followed Ye Tianxiong was strange in his heart, this young man didn't look like a cadre in the town, the cadres in the town seemed to know him, and he was a shop in a clothing store and a shoe store, could it be that I was wrong.

"I said you can't buy it?" Ye Tianxiong touched a piece of clothing, but there was no reaction, the proprietress wanted to play cards, and when she saw Ye Tianxiong's inkblot, she naturally urged.

"The price is a bit high, I can't accept it." Ye Tianxiong said with a smile.

"This price is still high, what if it is seventy or eighty in the town? If you want, take thirty. The proprietress said as she looked at her clothes.

Ye Tianxiong said to go to other places to see, but the proprietress didn't say anything? Then he closed the door and went to play cards.

Originally, Ye Tianxiong wanted to understand the situation, but now that someone is following him, he is naturally embarrassed to go again, so he went to find a place to live first, there is no place to live on Yinmiao Street, only the bathhouse can live at night, five yuan a night, Ye Tianxiong bought a ticket, and then went out to find food.

"Boss, is there anything to eat here?"

Ye Tianxiong found a random restaurant, went in and asked.

"What do you want to eat? We can count it. A chubby woman came out and said with a smile.

"I don't know what to eat, so you can stir-fry two hot dishes, and then a cold beef, plus a bottle of blast furnace bar." Eating, sometimes Ye Tianxiong is still very particular, anyway, he is not bad for money.

When the proprietress heard this, this was a big customer, and she ate nearly forty or fifty yuan by herself, so she quickly ordered her to do it later.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Tianxiong casually looked at this hotel, such a hotel does not exist outside at all, not to mention the environment, even the visit of things is unreasonable, but in the countryside, this kind of hotel is already good. Now some people have a little money in their hands and start to get lazy. During the New Year's holidays, I will order a table of dishes from here to eat at home, isn't it expensive anyway?

In the past, weddings and funerals were done by chefs, and the chefs at that time only needed to give a little food, but now it is different, and they have to collect money.

Sometimes you want to recruit people but can't find it, so you just buy it from the hotel, if you use it this time, next time or someone else will buy it from this side, and over time, those folk chefs have to find another way.

The cold dishes were still very fast, Ye Tianxiong sandwiched a piece of beef to eat, and felt that the taste was still good, and praised at the moment: "This chef's skills are good."

"Normally, it's all homemade." The proprietress said modestly.

What else does Ye Tianxiong want to say? At this time, a few young people dressed strangely came from outside, and in the words of rural people, these people were not very good people at first glance.

"Sister Hua, it's time to pay this month, right?" Huang Mao, who was the leader, asked the proprietress at the hostess.

The proprietress is Sister Hua, stood up and said with a smile: "It's Brother Hu, wait a minute, I'll go get it for you." ”

"No, didn't you say three hundred this month? It's the New Year, and it's time for this money to rise. Brother Hu took it and looked at it as if it was only 200, and asked immediately.

"Wasn't it the same price in the past?" Sister Hua asked in a low voice.

"That's in the past, now the market is different, the new director in the town, this New Year has to reorganize the relationship, this money can't be out of me."

"Yes, we'll go out, I'll bring it to you."

After the three hundred pieces were in hand, Brother Hu smiled, said two words of Wishing you prosperity, and left with his brother, as for Ye Tianxiong who was eating, he didn't look at it.

After confirming that Brother Hu and the others were gone, Sister Hua began to mumble.

"Damn, does this still make people do business? A lot of money in a year? ”

Ye Tianxiong put down the chopsticks in his hand, smiled at Sister Hua and asked, "Sister Hua, what's the matter with this money?" Why haven't I heard of it before? ”

Ye Tianxiong didn't pay attention to anything in the town, if he didn't come down for a walk, he really didn't know?

"Hey, big brother, you're from outside, it's normal not to know, this money is the protection fee, and the head just now is the gangster leader in the town."

"Protection money? Aren't you going to call the police? ”

"Call the police, what's the use? Those people from the police station were fed by them, and it turned out that Wang Laoliu next door called the police, not only doubled the money, but also fined 1,000 yuan? This year, officials and officials have protected each other. ”

Ye Tianxiong frowned, he never thought that there was such a situation at the police station before, this afternoon he probably counted it, there are about a hundred shops here, if one is two hundred a month, it is twenty thousand yuan, these people are really vampires?

Hearing Sister Hua's complaint, he didn't speak, but secretly remembered it in his heart, and was about to make a phone call after eating to ask, although he was a small official, he was never allowed to collect protection money under his rule.

After eating, Ye Tianxiong took out his mobile phone and made a call to Zhou Zheng.

"Protection money?"

"Yes, don't you know that Director Zhou? I've heard they're going to give you a gift? Ye Tianxiong quipped.

Zhou Zheng on the other side of the phone heard it, and immediately defended: "Secretary, where did you hear about it, why don't I know?" ”

"I don't know the best, I tell you, sometimes don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand, that Brother Hu will definitely come to the door in the next two days, you first pretend to contact him, and then catch it all, I don't want such a thing to happen after the year."

Ye Tianxiong's order, Zhou Zheng naturally did not dare to disobey, he knew in his heart that if he did not cooperate with the secretary's work, his job would be completely lost.

What made Ye Tianxiong depressed, this bathhouse was not open 24 hours a day, fortunately, there was heating at night, and he didn't feel cold when he slept in it, but the most uncomfortable thing for him was that a person came in the second half of the night, this person fell asleep, and the snoring sound was earth-shattering, so he had to take out his mobile phone and play some small games, and he didn't go to sleep until dawn.

"Last night, I'm sorry."

After the man woke up, he said apologetically to Ye Tianxiong. He knew about his own family, so he woke up and apologized to Ye Tianxiong.

"It's okay, I usually just sleep a few hours at night, big brother, what are you doing? I came back and went to bed so late. Ye Tianxiong asked curiously.

"Do a little business, it was late last night, so I'll come here for one night, big brother, it's a foreigner at first glance." That person is also self-acquainted, and the two of them chatted after coming and going.

The man invited Ye Tianxiong to take a bath, but Ye Tianxiong shook his head and said that he still had something to do, and he would see him again one day. He didn't like bathing in public baths, and he always felt that some disease was contagious. Although the odds are very small, he still doesn't dare to try, since his rebirth, he hasn't been to a public bath once, either at home, or to the kind of high-end bath room to wash, anyway, every time it costs nothing.

Just after breakfast, Ma Wenxiang's call came, mainly to ask where they were rounding? Ye Tianxiong was not unfamiliar with this place, so he let Ma Wenxiang be responsible.

After the group turned, they first came to the Yinmiao Village Committee, and after a simple meeting with everyone, they sent warmth to the five guarantee households according to the number they gave.

At noon, I had a meal at the village party secretary's house in Xiaoying Village, and continued to send warmth in the afternoon, until four o'clock in the afternoon, I passed through them one by one, as for the conversation, it was all brief, and Ye Tianxiong also knew very well in his heart that he couldn't ask anything if he wanted to ask now, and it had already been arranged below.

Wang Elector and others kept Ye Tianxiong and they had dinner on the street, but Ye Tianxiong refused, and left under the pretext that it was dark and the road was slippery.
