Chapter 4 The Storm of the Troubled Boy's Yang Valley
Wu Zhi smiled lightly at this time and said, "I said that being your leader is not to mess around with you like this, but to take you to make money and lead you to a new life." The splashes stared at each other, and they all felt that what this Wuda said was a bit unbelievable. Everyone knows that this Wuda himself has a very difficult life, and he said that he would take many of them to make money, and they all showed a look of disbelief.
The tattooed splash couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wu, although we haven't studied for a few years, but your new life won't be a rebellion, right?" ”
The roe head rat gave him a brain crash in the back and said, "What words?" Is Brother Wu that kind of person? What a pig brain! Since he was hit by a brick, the roe head rat suddenly felt that the martial arts in front of him was very unfathomable, and he was originally a bully and afraid of evil, so he began to double down on the martial arts. I intuitively felt that maybe I would really live another life in the future.
Wu Zhi saw that this place was on the street, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he said, "That's it, let's find a clean place to talk." ”
The roe head rat said: "Okay, let's go to the melon shop in the west of the city and talk while eating." The old man Li who looked at the melon didn't dare to say anything. Wu Zhi smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that these people really don't grow. But at the moment, there is really nowhere to go, so I can only nod my head and agree.
went back to the house and said to Pan Jinlian, and Pan Jinlian did not dissuade her, but just said "be careful".
The group came to the west of the city in a leisurely manner, and the chickens and dogs jumped along the way, which looked very majestic.
The weather in midsummer is hot and muggy, and it is indeed a pleasure to sit under the shady melon shop and eat a few juicy and sweet watermelons, and the old man who looks at the melons cowers and walks aside. Wu Zhi, who was watching, couldn't bear it in his heart, and sighed and didn't look at him.
Taking a bite of the melon, Wu Zhi said: "You are idle all day long, have you ever thought about how long such a day can last?" ”
The tattooed splash is called Lu Cheng, which is the most straightforward one among the splashes, and he is also the most capable of fighting, and he always rushes to the front in fights. After listening to Wu Zhi's words, he still had melon pulp in his mouth, and said vaguely: "How long can you live, how easy are such days?" ”
Long Wu, that is, the roe head rat, gave Lu Cheng a brain collapse again, and Lu Cheng glared at him angrily. Long Wu didn't look at him either, but said to Wu Zhi respectfully: "Isn't there any way to listen to Brother Wu's meaning?" ”
Wu Zhi said: "You are also clever, I have a way to ......" said and looked at the crowd with a smile, Lu Cheng shouted: "Brother Wu, I am the most straightforward, don't you sell anything?" If there is any way, just say it, as long as it is not a rebellion, I will be the first to do it! The rest of the splashes also looked at Wu Zhi one after another, and Long Wu's expression was still eager.
Wu Zhi gently spit out the melon seeds in his mouth and said, "My method is to collect the protection fees of those merchants!" To put it simply, ask those merchants to pay us every month. ”
All the splashes breathed, and the eagerness between the five eyes of the dragon also faded. But it's not good to sweep away Wu Zhi's prosperity. Lu Cheng didn't care about it, and said with a big grin: "Brother Wu, your method is also a little playful, why do people have to pay us money every month?" If you go to eat for nothing or take some worthless gadgets, that's okay, and that's what our brothers usually do. But you have to pay the money on a monthly basis, but I'm afraid that no merchant will agree. ”
Wu Zhi smiled slightly, and the reaction of the crowd was also expected by him. At that moment, Wu Zhi told them about the various ways of the underworld to collect money. I talked about it for nearly an hour, the methods of making trouble with various shops, what to throw feces and disgusting methods, the method of intimidation at the door, the method of harassing snakes, and so on. The crowd was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and finally ecstatic.
Long Wu was overjoyed next to him, and shouted: "It's really wonderful, even if they sue the government with these methods, they can't help us, and in the end, we don't have to obediently pay us that monthly money......" Wu Zhi interjected with a smile: "It's the protection fee" Long Wu suddenly bowed down in front of Wu Zhi and said, "Brother Wu, I, Long Wu, have served you today." Our brothers used to be ignorant and confused, but when we meet Brother Wu today, we can see the light of day. In the future, we will be sent by Brother Wu. The rest of the splashes also bowed down.
Wu Zhi helped everyone up and said: "The so-called 'no rules, no square circle', today I will set our rules, and everyone must abide by them in the future......" said and said that some of the rules of his previous mixed society were improved. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Long Wuqiang, and Long Wuqiang, who was watching, smiled: "Brother Wu, is there anything wrong with the younger brother?" ”
Wu Zhi said: "Do you remember what you said on East Street today? ”
Long Wu's heart suddenly burst out, seeing that Wu Zhi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't know what he was doing when he suddenly brought it up? However, Long Wu was so clever, he immediately knew that this was Wu Da to use himself to establish his authority, and to see this Wu Da act, he was cautious and decisive, and he definitely didn't want to be able to match his own splashes. It is by no means a thing in Guyang's pool. I have to cooperate with him today, and I will definitely be relied on by him in the future. Thinking of this, Long Wu didn't hesitate anymore, knelt down again, and said: "Long Wu is guilty, Long Wu shouldn't say anything about molesting his sister-in-law today, I just hope that Brother Wu will see that Long Wu doesn't know the power of the eldest brother, and he can be lightly dismissed." ”
Wu Zhi saw that he was astute, nodded secretly, and said, "Okay, molesting my brother's wife and daughter was originally a heavy precept, and for the sake of the rules, I will punish you lightly." As he spoke, he picked up the watermelon knife from the side, grabbed Long Wu's hand, raised the knife and fell, and chopped off the little finger of Long Wu's left hand. In the screams of the five ghosts crying wolf, Wu Zhi said to the people who were in a daze: "In the future, there will be those who do not follow the rules, and Long Wu is an example." ”
Long Wu rolled on the ground in pain, he never dreamed that Wu Zhi's light hair would be such a "light" method, and he only felt horror in his heart when he covered the severed finger.
Wu Zhi swept his eyes at the stunned crowd and said, "You guys go as I say, carry Long Wu, this is a ready-made intimidation method, put him at the door of the shop, and keep it to give the merchant a headache." As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, and the crowd laughed dryly. Lu Cheng was a little unbearable, and said, "Brother Wu, this ......" At this time, Long Wu on the ground inhaled painfully, and said: "Wu Da...... What Brother Wu said is, let's ...... Let's ...... Go ahead. ”
Wu Zhi smiled approvingly at him and said, "I'll go home and wait for you, and in a few days Long Wu and Lu Cheng will come to see me with the money they collected." With that, he turned and strode away.
Yanggu County, which is still relatively peaceful, suddenly had a commotion today, and all the shops received the notices of the splashes that usually run rampant on the streets, telling the merchants to come before noon to collect any protection fees. It caused an uproar, and it doesn't matter if these pranksters are here to take some ordinary gadgets. However, there is no reason to set a monthly amount of money that must be paid. So all the merchants ignored it. Unexpectedly, at noon, these merchants all had bitter faces. First of all, there were several teahouses and wine shops in the city, and the pickled things were splashed everywhere, and the diners ran out one after another. Then there are all kinds of harassment in the shops, some have been released snakes, some have been standing at the door of a few big men staring at the guests, the scalp of the guests who look straight at them is numb, and the guests who are forced to buy things are not afraid to buy anything and disperse, and there is usually the most arrogant that splashes the skin Longwu, holding hands and wandering around the shops, which is nothing. But one of his hands was turned into four fingers, and the flesh and blood on the severed fingers were blurred, and it was terrifying. If there is a customer in the store, he will stretch out his hand and shake it in front of the customer, and he will laugh a few times.
For several days in a row, these splashes were never tired of it. So some timid businessmen had no choice but to pay the money, and some bold ones went to report to the officials, and the arresters took the crowd away, but under detailed questioning, they were all pranks, and they did not admit to extortion and the like. It really doesn't condemn them. had to be released again, and there was that unruly, so I hit a few boards.
After these splashes came out, they intensified even more, and added a few percent of interest to the official report. After a few days, most merchants had to reluctantly hand over the money. Of course, these pranksters kept Wu Zhi's instructions in mind and did not harass those high-ranking families who had some roots in the county.
Wu Zhi has stayed at home for the past few days, and he just moves his muscles at home every day, and Pan Jinlian complains when he doesn't sell cooking cakes. Wu Zhi just laughed and ignored her. Pan Jinlian has nowhere to vent her anger.
Looking at the last mouthful of rice left in the rice jar, Pan Jinlian sighed, and her heart was really full of taste. This Wuda has become strange since he woke up with a high fever, and it is really tongue-in-cheek to see him fighting with the crowd, and his ruthlessness is really rapping. But there's more indescribable masculinity. But when he came back that day after he and the crowd had gone away, he never went out again, not even the cooking cakes, and he just wandered around the house every day. When asked, he just laughed, and told himself not to worry. Can you not be worried? After today, there is really no rice in the pot. While I was in trouble, someone outside shouted: "Is Brother Wu at home?" Then I heard Wu Zhi's footsteps coming down from upstairs, and I didn't know what to say to a few people. Then Wu Zhi's shout came: "Jin Lian, I'll put some money on the table, you can take it when you go back!" I'm still a little bit of a beforehand gone! Then there was the sound of the door opening and closing, and the footsteps fading away.
Pan Jinlian's heart tightened, could it be that Wuda is now going to borrow money from Splashy to live? That day, I heard the real Wuda say that he wanted to mess with these splashes, and he was so worried at the time, but fortunately, although Wuda didn't go out to sell cooking cakes in the past few days, he didn't go out to mess around, and stayed at home every day. I gradually put my mind at ease. But today, it sounds like it's the same splash. Come to think of it. Pan Jinlian hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, but was stunned.
