When Chen Xiao greeted inside, Yang Zhen had clearly heard the shouts coming from the room, which was the excited shouting of gamblers when they were fully engaged in gambling, which made his two sword eyebrows gather together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's daylight now.,Why are these brocade guards gathered in the house to play for money?

And when those people came out lazily, Yang Zhen's brows furrowed even tighter. Because of these seven guys who came out one after another, three of them were shirtless, and they only wore a pair of calf nose pants on their lower bodies, looking very depressed and without any energy.

Obviously, these people were familiar with Chen Lian, and when they saw him, they asked with a smile: "Why Chen Zongqi, does anyone in the Zhenfu Division dare to take over our stall this time?" While speaking, several people looked at Yang Zhen with some contempt, and they didn't mean to take him to heart at all.

"Hey, this brother was born so young, you are the hereditary Jinyi Wei Baihu, right?" One of them looked Yang Zhen up and down for a while before he asked nonchalantly.

Jinyiwei has long since lost the prestige of the past, and many children of the army and nobles have relied on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors to get an official position of a hundred households and thousands of households, so no matter how young a hundred households are, they are nothing to the people of Beijing.

Seeing them like this, and seeing that Yang Zhen's face was extremely gloomy, Chen Xiao immediately reprimanded: "You guys have no rules, and you are still so lazy when you see your new boss!" This Yang Zhen and Yang Baihu have risen to this position by virtue of continuous meritorious service, and from now on, you are his subordinates! As he spoke, he hugged his fist at Yang Zhen and said, "Yang Baihu, these seven people are your future subordinates, and let me introduce them to you." ”

Yang Zhen nodded slightly, but didn't say anything. Chen Xiao knew that he must be angry when he saw these subordinates like this, but he didn't see it, and only introduced the identities of those men: three shirtless men, the strongest one is called Mo Chong, the dark one is called Huang Bang, both of them are small flags, and one of the shirtless ones is called Liu Heizi. The other four were dressed in ordinary clothes, Hu Ge, Lu Siming, Xia Kai and a Mongolian man, Gelehei, all of whom were just school captains.

These seven people heard Chen Xiao say that Yang Zhen was not a hereditary brocade cloth and a hundred households, but was promoted by meritorious service, and their attitude finally showed a little respect, and when they were introduced to themselves, they hugged their fists at Yang Zhen and saluted, among which Hu Ge and Ge Lehei also called Yang Baihu.

Even if the appearance and behavior of these people in front of him didn't look like the Jinyi guards he thought they were, Yang Zhen still had to accept the fact that they were his subordinates. But his heart was still full of unhappiness, and when he saw that Chen Xiao had introduced all the people, he asked, "What about the others?" ”

"There is no one else, but there are only seven brothers in these hundred households." Chen Xiao glanced at Yang Zhen a little strangely and replied. And those people swept Yang Zhen with contemptuous gazes, and they even suspected that Chen Lian's introduction to Yang Zhen just now was fake.

"Huh? Are there only seven people out of 100 households? Yang Zhen's brows furrowed even tighter. He had dealt with Jinyi guards like Tang Feng and Shen Zhuo, but they had a lot of people under them, how could they get to their own hundred households, but there were only so many crooked melons and cracked dates left?

Chen Xiao understood Yang Zhen's thoughts at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Yang Baihu, the capital is not as good as you in other provinces, and there are not so many people in Jinyiwei." Seven brothers in your 100 households is already a lot, and there are only five people in the 100 households on the Xuanwu Gate. "Xuanwu Gate, that is, the later Xuanwu Gate, was the name changed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to avoid Xuanye's name, and it was naturally called Xuanwu Gate at this time.

He said so, Yang Zhen could not object, so he hugged his fist at Chen Lin and said: "Brother Lao Chen has led the way today, stay for two days, and invite you to drink and thank you." ”

"It's just an errand, and I don't dare to accept a word of thanks." Seeing that his task had been completed, Chen Xiao hugged his fist at Yang Zhen and said goodbye and left.

As soon as the middleman walked away, the situation in front of him was a little awkward. The two sides don't know anyone now, and they don't like each other, and they really don't know how to break the deadlock in front of them.

It was Yang Zhen who reacted first, and after glancing at the seven people in front of him, he walked past them and walked towards the courtyard, and said at the same time: "Come in, don't show up at the door." This time, it was immediately anti-customer-oriented.

Mo Chong and Huang Bang glanced at each other, and after exchanging words, they agreed and followed Yang Zhen back to the courtyard. Obviously, these two were the leaders of the seven, so as soon as they moved, the remaining five followed.

After entering the courtyard, Yang Zhen didn't stop, and broke into the half-hidden hall: "Let's all come into the house and talk." But as soon as he entered the house, a strange suffocating stench rushed to his nose and almost smoked him out.

I saw that in this small hall, except for a large table, dice on the table, and a few benches, there was a pile of wine jars and all kinds of leftover food, bones, melon skins, and ...... Lost everywhere. In addition, the weather is very hot now, and these things have begun to rot, mixed with the smell of sweat emitted by the seven men crammed together before, it is really disgusting.

Mo Chong and the others came in later, and when they saw such a messy appearance in the house, their faces turned red. Only their brother didn't think it was dirty and smelly at this time, but once a stranger came, and he was also the future boss, it made them feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, Yang Zhen in his previous life had seen places that were even more unbearable than here, but in this life, he really had never suffered this crime, and his face suddenly became even more ugly. It took a long time to get used to the smell here, and he snorted: "Everyone, you really give us a long face for the brocade guard." If an enemy suddenly comes in at this time, you may be killed because you can't stand the smell of this house. ”

When these words were said, the seven of them were all blushing, and Huang Bang hurriedly said: "Please also ask Yang Baihu to forgive your sins, our brothers have always been wild, and they have never paid attention to these details." In the future, I will definitely not make such a mistake again. ”

"Exactly. We'll clean up this place today, and we won't let the hundred households suffer with us. Xia Kai also hurriedly echoed. Several other people also expressed their positions one after another, but they seemed to know that they could correct their mistakes.

Yang Zhen's face looked a little better: "I hope you can do what you say." After a pause, he turned to the topic: "From this moment on, I, Yang Zhen, will be the boss of several of you, which means that from now on, you all have to follow my instructions." ”

"This is natural. Since the Lord was sent by the Pacification Division, our brothers should obey your orders. Xia Kai is obviously a nimble guy, and he was the first to say it. Then, the others nodded yes.

Yang Zhen said again: "Actually, I am also very easy to get along with, as long as you are willing to do what I want, don't go against the law, and make any small moves behind your back, I promise that you will also get benefits." Whether it's money, or status. ”

"We should obey the orders of our lords, and dare not disobey." This time, the seven of them answered in unison, and it was clear that they were used to this kind of conversation.

But Yang Zhen saw a trace of disdain in Mo Chong's eyes, at least before he had Liwei, it was almost impossible to make these seven men as obedient as they said, so he said: "It is naturally best if you can do what you say, otherwise...... If you refuse to do what I want, once or twice I may be able to tolerate it, but once I cross my bottom line, then there will be no mercy to talk about, and I will not be spared! ”

"I don't dare to disobey my lord's orders." Again, the seven reassured. Obviously, they are also used to this set, and the answer is extremely smooth.

"Good!" Yang Zhen seemed to believe their assurance, and finally saw a smile on his face: "You are so cooperative, I believe that our brothers in the hundred households will be able to get ahead in the future." Now let's get down to business, what do you know about this chessboard street? ”

Seeing that he waited for a few words to deal with Yang Zhen, Huang Bang and the others unconsciously flashed a trace of disdain in their eyes. They had met a lot of bosses who were very serious when they came to talk, but they really lost their minds after they played them, so when they saw Yang Zhen talking so well, they immediately put him in the same category as their previous bosses.

However, they still have to answer Yang Zhen's question. After a moment of silence, Mo Chong replied: "This chessboard street is one of the three most prosperous streets in the capital, with hundreds of shops. Every three days, my brother would go around the streets, and when he saw which business was good, he would ask them for some protection money. Also, the things in the restaurants on the street are not bad, and they will take turns to bring us food every day. ”

"Oh?" Yang Zhen's eyebrows raised, no wonder there were so many bones and bits in this house, and he also wondered how these meager Jinyi Guard captains got so much money, it turned out to be people's filial piety. Seeing that he mentioned the protection fee, Yang Zhen thought of the situation of Qipan Street that Chen Xiao introduced to him when he came, and said: "You have collected protection money from others, but I don't know if you will protect someone when someone makes trouble on the street?" ”

"This ...... But it depends. Huang Bang replied: "If it is an ordinary conflict, as long as we know it, we will always solve it." But if it really makes a big fuss, or has something to do with some untouchable guys, we can't do it. ”

"Untouchable guys? Is there anyone we can't touch? Yang Zhen suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, but his expression was a little unhappy.
