The second (liu) head smiled like a nymphomaniac, pointed at Yuan Han and said: "Oh, we are also acquaintances, you are not good, I allow you to call my name, you can call me Hongtao." ”

"What, your name is Hong Tao, hehe, I'm glad to be happy." Yuan Han smiled on his face, twitched in his heart, obediently, plus Ke Zhao's surname, he would be the one who brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Fortunately," Hong Tao squinted his eyes at the big and the paper bag that were still fluttering in his hand, and asked, "You said these things were for me?" Why send me something. "The strange thing has come out, it has always been a mandatory request for their Silver Club, and I haven't heard of it being sent.

Yuan Han patted his ass and said, "You have a big face, that's why I sent you something." ”

"Really?" Hong Tao is the most touted, and as soon as he praises him, he goes to the sky.

Yuan Han's chick pecked rice, "Yes, yes." ”

Hong Tao listened, and asked the younger brother to pour a bowl of wine for Yuan Han, "The person who comes is a guest, come, respect you, do it." ”

"Eh, I'm talking to you, not drinking." Yuan Han's face tightened, and his hand waved again and again.

Where does Hong Tao care about this, he stuttered a little indistinctly and said: "The feelings are deep and boring, you look down on me, right?" ”

Wronged, Yuan Han hasn't done anything to entertain tears, where do you know so many rules, "Look at what you said, can I look down on you to come to you?" ”

"Then less nonsense, let's do it." Hong Tao was filled with another bowl of wine.

Yuan Han had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, holding the bowl and saying, "I think very highly of you, I did it," he said and drank it in one gulp, "How about it, it's interesting enough, right?" ”

"Refreshing, Lao Tzu loves to deal with cheerful people!" Hong Tao is very satisfied, a woman with such courage is indeed likable.

Yuan Han saw that Hong Tao called himself Lao Tzu, and felt that he had suffered a loss, so he hurriedly said: "The same is true for the old lady, I don't like the kind of goods that dare not be brittle, come, fill it for the old lady." ”

The little brother next to him poured another bowl of wine for Yuan Han, Yuan Han raised the wine bowl and said, "Hong Tao, the old lady respects you, the old lady didn't expect to be friends with you." He drank it in one gulp.

Hong Tao is so happy, drinking is to be so happy, "Your business in the future will be my business, do it!" "It seems that this Yuan Han still has a good impression of himself, in case this day lasts for a long time, Yuan Han has a love for himself, then the eldest brother will have nothing to say.

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words." Yuan Han slapped the table and made another bowl.

Hong Tao had already drunk a lot of wine, and he had touched a few big bowls with Yuan Han, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest for a long time.

Yuan Han was also dizzy, while he was still sober, Yuan Han had something to say, "Let me tell you, I'm looking for you today, it's actually a little trivial." ”

"What's the matter?" Hong Tao's head drooped as he spoke, dazed, as if he was about to fall into a semi-comatose state.

Yuan Han saw that the wine and food on the table were good, and beckoned the little brother next to him to ask for a bowl of rice for himself, "Actually, it's not my business, it's someone else's business." ”

Hong Tao said angrily, "Don't ...... Someone else's ...... Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not interested in taking care of it, I will take care of your business. ”

Yuan Han smiled, thinking that this Hong Tao was quite interesting, "Boss, although this matter is someone else's business, but in the end, it has something to do with me." ”

"Oh? Then tell me about it. Hongtao nodded.

Yuan Han pointed to those salutes and said, "These are the ones they asked me to send, in fact, it's not a big deal, I just want to discuss with you about the protection fee." ”

"Protection money?" When Hong Tao heard the protection fee, he woke up for most of the time, "What's wrong?" Don't they want to hand it over? "Who dares not to chop up his whole family.

Yuan Han saw that Hong Tao's face was not good, and his heart was still a little empty, for fear that one would be angry, and the first one would take his own knife, "No, no, they didn't say no, they handed it over." ”

"What else is there to say?" Hong Tao heard that it was okay, and suddenly collapsed again.

Yuan Han rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "This, they must be willing to pay, that is, your protection fee is too expensive." ”

Hong Tao slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "Lao Tzu's protection fee is expensive? Fuck it, you go and ask these big restaurants and restaurants, is Lao Tzu's protection fee expensive, or the government's protection fee expensive? ”

Yuan Han was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly became interested, and pulled Hong Tao to sit down, "What?" Does the government also charge protection money? After Yuan Han finished speaking, the little brother came with rice.

Hong Tao also lowered his voice, with a posture that you don't believe it, "What do you think?" Don't think too well about the government, hmph, do you think the government will escort you? ”

"How do I know?" Yuan Han really didn't know about this, and thought that the government here was so pure and simple, it turned out to be ......

"Of course, the government doesn't call it protection money, and people don't ask you to collect it, everyone who knows the interest understands it, and sends it quietly, do you think you can send it away for one or twenty taels?" As soon as Hong Tao said it, he felt that their silver would be much better than that of the government, at least, they went to get it themselves, and they didn't want much.

In fact, Yuan Han had a question in her heart for a long time, and decided to take advantage of today's question, she ate two bites of rice and said, "Ask you something?" Inconvenient you can not say. ”

What a crisp man Hong Tao is," you say. ”

"I want to ask, why do you blatantly collect protection money, and the government doesn't come to arrest you." That's it, this question has been pressed in Yuan Han's heart for too long, and she can't even think of it if she wants to.

Hong Tao listened to Yuan Han's question, unconsciously raised his voice and laughed three times, "Hahaha!" ”

This is a very serious question, and I have to take it slowly.

In other words, the people of the Silver Society collected protection money before, and the government did complain, feeling that they disturbed social order, undermined social stability, and violated laws and regulations, so the government ordered the arrest of those who collected protection money.

However, how much of a sin can the person who collects protection money be, and he will go out after sitting in prison for a short time, and he will do the same thing.

This came and went, the government arrested and let go, and delayed many serious cases, and later, in order to be in order, the government arrested a little brother who collected protection money and came to ask for beheading.

I thought that the bad habit of collecting protection money in this way should be broken, but who knows, this move angered the boss of the Silver Society back then, and he took a vote of brothers to commit a murder and arson incident and ran away.

The government can't pay it now, so the county magistrate of the year was dismissed, and the newly appointed county magistrate understood the matter very well, and sent someone to find the boss of the Silver Club to negotiate.

In the end, the result of the discussion was that the Silver Society collected protection fees, and the government did not control it, provided that it could not be too excessive and could not kill anyone, and two death row prisoners were found in prison to act as the Silver Society, and the case was closed.

Waiting, this state has been maintained to this day, and everyone is safe.

After listening to Hong Tao's speech, Yuan Han sweated, Mom, I thought it was the collusion of officials and businessmen, but I didn't expect it to be the collusion of officials and bandits.

"What, how do you feel when you hear it?" Hong Tao took a sip and asked proudly.

Yuan Han laughed dryly, "I don't dare to have any ideas." "Ya, these officials don't care about the life or death of the people for the sake of their own comfortable seats, not to mention killing these gangsters, they must also be reformed well, and change their minds and be new people!

"There's nothing you wouldn't dare." Hong Tao didn't believe Yuan Han's words, so he hadn't heard of what she was afraid of, hmph, who was confused.

Yuan Han laughed dryly twice, and he wouldn't tell you if he was scared, "That, if you let me say it, I'll say it, don't get angry if you're not happy!" ”

Hong Tao nodded, indicating that he would not be angry.

Yuan Han put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Actually, I came to you to ask you not to increase the protection fee, I didn't ask you not to collect it, can you not add it." ”

"Why?" Hong Tao must have immediately blackened his face.

Yuan Han knew that this would be the result, "Don't worry, listen to me, look, the protection fee you collected before is quite appropriate, and we can't resist it if it is two taels more at once." ”

"I mean, I'm not going to take your protection money, am I?" Hong Tao thought she was worried that she wouldn't be able to come up with the money.

Yuan Han nodded, "I thank you very much for not accepting me, but there are still many people who can't take it out, such as those who sell sugar gourds, and those of them can't take it out." ”

"Then what should I do, Lao Tzu has so many brothers waiting to eat, Lao Tzu and the eldest brother can't let the brothers drink the northwest wind." Hong Tao was furious, and the Silver Society was the place to collect protection money.

Yuan Han hurriedly poured tea to calm his anger, "Come, dissipate your anger, I haven't finished talking yet, you see, you have risen so much, people can't bear it, just like a hen lays eggs, only one a day, you force the next two, what is the result, you are killing chickens and taking eggs, and you still want eggs in the future, no, you even killed chickens, what other eggs are there?" ”

Hong Tao was stunned for a while, and only said something for a long time, "What you said seems to have a little meaning, but ......"

Yuan Han saw that he was finally moved, and he definitely didn't want to listen to what he said, so he preemptively said, "Don't be, this chicken, one day at a time, you still have it every day, you killed the chicken, there is nothing, you say, which way can be drawn." ”

Hong Tao was unconsciously moved by what he said, "However, I didn't do this thing, and I have to nod my eldest brother." "To put it bluntly, it's not to give them anger, and it's not to appreciate it.

Yuan Han patted Hong Tao on the shoulder and said: "You just give this to your eldest brother according to what I said, if your eldest brother is smart, he will definitely agree, isn't it, I believe that your eldest brother is a smart person." "I don't understand such an easy-to-understand truth, and the boss of the Silver Club is also in vain, so it's better to let Hong Tao come! (To be continued.) )
