Wang Guihai was dressed in civilian clothes, followed by brothers in the same civilian clothes, and the group walked on the bustling streets in the west of the city, and from time to time they even picked a family to go in and around.

"Boss, is it profitable to make money with this antique calligraphy and painting these days?"

"It's okay, no one collects protection money, and how much you earn is your own."

"Yo, the gang is so merciful now?"

"Who said it wasn't, I didn't believe it at first, but after looking at it in the past few months, it's really like this, I heard that the boss of the Anjiang Club is still a child!"

"Boss, is the cloth business profitable now?"

"So, you're buying cloth?"

"Yes, I'll take a look, if it's appropriate, our brothers will all buy a suit."

"A few of you, please, now you want to make a living in business, no one bother, don't talk about making more and less, let's at least be leisurely now."

"Boss, you have such a good mentality, how much protection money do you pay every month?"

"Haha, half a year ago, I paid ten taels of silver a month, now we don't have to pay, last time Anjiang would come to hang out, I want to give money, guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"I was stuffed back by others, and they said that as long as the small shop has a stable price and there is no shortage of neighbors' size, then there will never be a need to pay protection money!"

Wang Guihai took a few brothers to the shop in the west of the city for a long time, and they were a little unbelievable, since he was on duty, he hadn't seen a shop in so many years that didn't have to pay protection money to the gang.

Gangs have been paying protection money for a long time, and the government has no way to intervene. For these shops on the street, it is equivalent to spending money to eliminate disasters. Because many gangsters who collect protection money come to the door, they are generally coaxed and scared, and it is up to you whether they pay it or not, but if they don't pay, the store will catch fire at night, and similar words abound, and the government can't send people to watch every store every day, and there are not so many people. Therefore, over time, the collection of protection money has become a tacit behavior of the government. Later, the reason why some shops happily paid the protection fee was also because as long as the protection fee was paid, during this period, the store could ask for help from gangs for anything except profit and loss, the most common is street gangsters making trouble or encountering invisible thieves, these gangs will generally send people out to take care of it.

For 80 percent of the shops and stalls in the west of the city, the current Anjiang Association is not used to not charging protection fees. And most of them don't know where this An Jiang will be, and some even doubt whether he really exists. It's just that after people from other forces come to the door to make trouble, there are always people from the Anjiang Society who come to the door to understand the situation, and it won't take long to send silver taels as compensation, and it is said that the silver taels of these compensation are not from the Anjiang Society, but from the group of Shuangdao Society who came to make trouble. Therefore, in the west of the city there is such a slip:

Don't pay money, don't pay food, don't worry about the money every month;

make trouble, find An Jiang, and handle everything properly;

Ri Qiankun, Feng Huamao, Annan businessmen are not panicking.

Wang Guihai happened to hear this slip at the corner of the street, and he couldn't help but admire Ye Chen's wrist, being able to make the boundary west of the city like this in just half a year, not everyone can do it.

Just when Wang Guihai and the others were hanging out, Ye Chen and Chen Bing also found them. Ye Chen looked at Wang Guihai and said with a smile: "Wang Zhutou, how are you going?" ”

"It looks okay, but I don't know if it's superficial." Wang Guihai said with a smile, in fact, his heart was like a mirror, Ye Chen couldn't have spread such a big stall in order to confuse himself.

Ye Chen smiled: "If Ye Chen can let the entire west of the city do this game for me, then it will be enough for me in this life." ”

Wang Guihai laughed after hearing this, and unconsciously patted Ye Chen's shoulder, which was undoubtedly a precursor to a further step in the relationship between the two.

"Wang Tou'er, I didn't eat much at the mutton restaurant just now, give my brother a face, go drink some?" Ye Chen looked at Wang Guihai with a smile.

"You are familiar with this place, Brother Ye will lead the way." Wang Guihai replied with a smile.

Ye Chen didn't expect Wang Guihai to be so refreshing, so he immediately turned his head to Chen Bing and said, "Bingzi, you go to Fenghualou to make arrangements, and I will accompany Wang Tou'er to have a few sips in a while." ”

Chen Bing nodded and left quickly, while Wang Guihai and his party followed Ye Chen while admiring the life and culture of the people on the streets west of the city.

Even if Wang Guihai doesn't go to the mutton restaurant to find Ye Chen today, Ye Chen will think of other ways to approach him. According to Qin Xiaoqin's intelligence to Wang Si, although this Wang Guihai has not done much in recent years, he is well-known for his quick catch in Huaisu County. And if Ye Chen wants to move Sun Dacheng without alarming the government or not letting the government hold him accountable, there must be an inside line within the county government of Huaisu County.

Chen Bing once said that Ye Chen's step was to take off his pants and fart a lot, and he thought that it would be okay to directly let Qin Xiaoqin send someone to arrest Sun Dacheng. But Chen Bing did not expect that the struggle in Gyeonggi Province was closely related to such a trivial matter. Not to mention whether Sun Dacheng can survive in this wave of competition, just moving this Sun Dacheng will cause dissatisfaction among Li Linhu and the entire descendants, but this is something His Majesty the Emperor does not want to see.

Over the years, even if Emperor Zhu Chengyuan was dissatisfied with Li Linhu in a thousand ways, he did not beat Li Linhu once because of this. This is not only because of the queen, but he also has to take into account the power of the descendants, and the royal affairs have always been not the emperor's sole decision. Especially in the face of the recent provocations of the Anritsu people in the north, a large-scale war may break out at any time, and he needs the support of his descendants and all sides.

Wang Guihai looked up at the Fenghua Building in front of Ye Chen, and said with emotion: "If you hadn't said in advance that this is a restaurant dedicated to eating, I would have thought you would have taken me to visit the kiln." ”

Ye Chen's face was black, was his image in his heart so unbearable! Walking into Fenghua Building, Chen Bing hurriedly came over to greet him, and after Wang Si received Chen Bing's notice, he had been preparing wine and food, because Ye Chen had explained that no one else was allowed to go up above the second floor. This time to entertain Wang Guihai and several of his brothers, Ye Chen obviously attached great importance to it.

Wang Si looked at the four or five people who came up, bowed his head to Ye Chen and said, "Boss, you're ready, you can sit down." ”

Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's hard work, you go and get busy." Then he led everyone to the private room on the second floor.

After taking the seat, Xiao Hai couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and asked, "I just heard that little second brother call you boss, this restaurant won't really be yours, right?" ”

Ye Chen was humble and said, "This is a small industry, not worth mentioning." ”
