(Cat flutter Chinese) Seeing that his horse boy is in trouble, of course, the leader will come forward.

The leading man hurriedly said to He Xiaojun and them: "This boss, our Green Gang is not comparable to those big and young, there are more than 100 people in the gang, that is, our hall, there are dozens of people, do you two really want to go against our Green Gang?" Have you thought it through? ”

After listening to the leader's words, He Xiaojun motioned to Da Niu to suspend his impulse. Just now, the reason why he didn't stop Da Niu was to stand up and let the other party know that he was not a person to be messed with.

"This eldest brother, as the saying goes: reason travels all over the world. If you say why we want to pay protection money, if we think it's reasonable, we'll pay it. ”

Maybe no one has ever asked such a question, the leading man couldn't answer for a while, he glanced around, hoping that the followers would help him answer, but at this time, his followers had been suppressed by the big bull bravery, and they didn't even dare to give their leader help.

After pondering for a while, the leader stammered and replied to He Xiaojun, "We...... We collect protection money, and we will ...... will protect you...... The tranquility of your stalls. ”

Before the leader finished speaking, Da Niu had already rushed to speak: "Our stall, won't we protect ourselves?" We all know martial arts......"

He Xiaojun stopped Da Niu again and said to the leading man: "Big brother, you say this, there is some reason. After paying the protection fee, can our stall come to you if there is something in the future? ”

"Yes, after paying the protection fee, we guarantee that no one will dare to harass your stall in the future."

Hmph, it's you who don't come to harass.

Thinking about it, of course He Xiaojun would not have expressed such thoughts. He continued to ask the leader: "Do the Hong Gang sell the protection money we paid?" ”

At this time, the follower of the class may have seen that He Xiaojun showed signs of resignation, and regained some vitality, and hurriedly shouted: "How dare the Hong Gang not sell it? ”

"What is the Hong Gang? Not as many as we are. ”

"As long as our gang leader gives an order, we can destroy the Hong Gang."

……

He Xiaojun was not interested in the matter between the underworld, he just wanted to get a positive answer, otherwise, if he had to pay the protection fee at both ends, it would be his own loss, so He Xiaojun completely ignored the clamor of those followers, just looked at the leader quietly, waiting for his answer.

"We have an agreement with the Hong Gang to be in charge, and this piece is managed by our Qing Gang."

"I don't care what your agreement is, I only care if we pay the protection fee, whether the Hong Gang sells it or not." He Xiaojun reiterated his question.

"Sell the bill." The leader hesitated for a moment and gave He Xiaojun a clear answer.

"In that case, we can consider this protection fee......"

Before He Xiaojun's words were finished, Da Niu was already in a hurry, and he interrupted He Xiaojun's words: "Ah Jun, what are we afraid of with our skills?" This protection fee ......"

"Brother Niu, let me handle this matter." After He Xiaojun stopped Da Niu's words, he asked the leader again: "Then how much protection fee do we need to pay for a stall like ours?" ”

"Your stall is not small, and the business is good, so let's set it at two oceans a month."

"Two silver dollars? You might as well grab it. Two silver dollars are enough for the two of us to eat for more than a month, so why should we give you a month's worth of food for nothing? "Da Niu's fiery temperament, no matter what kind of gang the other party is? How much power there is, they immediately ridiculed each other.

After He Xiaojun showed signs of weakness, those followers regained their confidence that had been frustrated by Da Niu and confronted Da Niu: "The amount of protection money is set by our Qinggang itself, and we can say as much as we want." ”

"Yes, this street is the responsibility of our Huang Hall Master, and the Huang Hall Master said that he would collect as much as he wanted."

"If you dare not pay the protection fee, we will go back to the hall and gather people to level your stall."

……

From the words of his attendant, He Xiaojun learned that this protection fee was set by the subordinate Tangkou himself.

He Xiaojun also learned about the payment of protection fees from those coolies in casual chats with the dock coolies these days, and he also learned from those coolies about the amount of protection fees, and knew that the amount of protection fees is generally determined according to the size of the stall and the quality of the business.

My stall has only been open for a few days, and of course, the amount of protection fee should not be measured by the quality of the business, but should be determined according to the size of the stall. He Xiaojun once compared several stalls nearby, and estimated that he was not a big stall, and the amount of protection fees should not exceed one ocean at most.

"Master Huangtang, right, I have already said it just now, I know that those stalls in the market are just a few copper coins of protection fees, that is, stalls that are larger than us, and they will not exceed an ocean, why do we have to pay so much money?" He Xiaojun finally spoke.

"Boss, our protection fee is charged according to business, if your business is good, of course you will charge more protection money, after all, stalls with good business are more likely to be harassed."

Hmph, you're more likely to be harassed, right?

"Who told Hall Master Huang that our business is good? On the day we opened, we didn't do a penny of business during the whole day. Today, from noon to now, we haven't done a penny of business. ”

"Our people in the 'Zuixiang Building' said that you have a good business for the stall at night, and the people in the 'Zuixiang Building' are eating at your place."

Hmph, it turned out to be reported by the people in the brothel. In this way, in the "Drunken Fragrance Building", there must be people from the Green Gang, and if you think about it, the big man in the nursing home is the most suspicious.

Since the brothel is also managed by the Qing Gang, the nursing home of the brothel should of course be a member of the Qing Gang, so after listening to the words of the Huang Tang Master's good business, He Xiaojun suspected that it was the news reported by the nursing home that the brothel asked him to send food every evening.

"Hall Master Huang, let's not say that we have only been open for a few days, and we don't have so much money to pay protection fees, even if we have money, I also think that the amount you set is unreasonable, so I hope Hall Master Huang you will give a reasonable number."

It may be that they saw the threatening person Da Niu, and then there was no terrible performance, and the followers of that class began to be arrogant again, and before they could wait for their leader to speak, they all started to coax together: "If you don't pay the protection fee, you will demolish this stall." ”

"Go back and call someone to drive them out of the county."

"People who are against our Green Gang never end well."

……

The arrogant gossip of the attendant made the big bull angry, he glared angrily, and once again raised the hookah in his hand, and was about to get angry.

This time, He Xiaojun shot faster than Da Niu, he grabbed the boning knife beside him with one hand, and then swung it out in one direction. Cat flutter Chinese
