"We had a good memory before, but I didn't come to look for him tonight, so relax," Zhang Heng said to the black-tailed snake who was facing a great enemy, and then his gaze circled around the tavern, and finally landed on a black man in the corner.

The other party looked like an ordinary drinker, neither like the black-tailed snake who was surrounded by his men in the middle, nor like a dwarf beauty in his arms, and the food on his table also looked shabby, only half a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine, no matter how you look at it, it didn't look like a big man.

However, after that, Zhang Heng said, "It looks like you should be in iron cuffs." ”

"Why? We probably haven't seen it before. The black man asked rhetorically.

"You are the only one in the tavern who is sitting the farthest away from the others, or conversely, no one else dares to approach you, obviously, they are afraid of you in their hearts, and the other dwarf just subconsciously wanted to look in the direction you were sitting, of course, the main reason is because Soap told me about your appearance and other relevant information."

Zhang Heng paused, and then said, "You were a slave before, and you escaped several times, but you were all caught, handcuffed, and suffered a lot of torture, and your nickname also came from this, as a result, one day your former master was found dead in his own livestock shed, and was pierced through the heart by a pitchfork, they suspected you, but because there was no evidence, it was finally over, the son of the previous owner sold you to another family, and two years later your new owner also suffered an accident, but he made a will before he died, You were lucky enough to be one of the twenty slaves who decided to be free, and you moved here after the freedom, and at first worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop, but it was difficult to make money, so you quickly got a gang of people to control the thieves in the three nearby streets, and made them pay you regularly in the name of protection, am I right? ”

"If you know who I am, how dare you stand up for them?" The shackled gaze cooled, and he glanced at the four soap people on the side, and the four of them suddenly felt difficult to breathe under the accumulation of power for many years, and they couldn't even stand steadily.

"I'm not standing up for them, like he said before, we're just here to talk about a deal." When Zhang Heng heard this, he walked straight to the front of the iron cuffs, pulled away the chair opposite him, and sat down.

"We?" The iron cuffs caught the point.

"Yes, my twelve brothers and I, as a courtesy, let me say hello first, they are still standing outside waiting, if you have no opinion, I will let them in." Zhang Heng found an empty cup and blew the ash inside, then picked up the wine bottle and poured himself wine.

"Twelve people, I'm afraid it's a bit insufficient." The cuff snorted.

"No, that's enough, after all, we're just here to talk business." Zhang Heng smiled and said to the thin monkey, "Let them in." ”

The thin monkey peeked at the iron cuffs, he could see that the other party's mood was very bad now, and it was estimated that he even had the intention of killing again, but the thin monkey had no choice, knowing that it would further provoke the iron cuffs, he could only run out to inform Aris and the others.

In fact, Aris, who was waiting outside, was also very nervous now, he had been in charge of the security of this area for so long, and of course he was very clear about the big and small forces here, and when he saw the signboard of Blackwater Bay, he knew that it was iron cuffs and his people inside, Aris didn't understand why Zhang Heng came here to make money.

If there was any money to be made in this place, it would have been made by the handcuffs and his men.

Fortunately, there was no sound of fighting during the time Zhang Heng went in, but when the thin monkey came out and let them in, the other members of the patrol team couldn't help but beat the drums in their hearts, and finally Aris took the idea, "It's all here, you can't turn around and leave now, anyway, we are also a patrol team here, and we can't be afraid of the gang forces here." ”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help muttering, if we weren't afraid of the previous why didn't we put nosy in the first place, but they still followed Aris into the tavern.

And when their figures appeared at the door, the atmosphere in the tavern was also suffocated.

The presence of the patrol team in this area has always been very low before, and Aris knows that the patrol team can't settle the complicated situation here at all, so he wisely chose to keep a low profile, but after all, their identities are placed there, and they are the only armed forces in the vicinity that only maintain law and order, so there is no one present who does not know them.

The iron cuff was surprised, "You reported the crime?" ”

"No, I'm a patrolman." Zhang Heng smiled.

"You're from the patrol? But I haven't seen you before, are you new, so what business are you talking to me about? The handcuffs quickly calmed down after the initial shock, after all, this is his territory, although he is engaged in criminal business, he is not afraid of patrols, and no one in this place is afraid of mascot-like patrols.

Without the help of local forces, these patrols would not be able to investigate even if they received a report, because no one would cooperate with them at all, and they had not even caught a thief for so long, and there were even thieves who swaggered to their station to steal things, which was a shame for the patrol.

"Big business," Zhang Heng finished drinking the wine in his hand and put down the glass, "It's enough for thirty percent of your existing income," and then he looked at the soap, "You should tell him the specific content." ”

Soap has been praying that the two of them can forget him since Zhang Heng sat opposite the iron handcuffs, but now it seems that his prayer has not taken effect, seeing that the eyes of the iron cuffs have fallen back on him, Soap can only stubbornly speak, "Sheng, business...... Quite simply, the patrol can help keep the three streets safe, and you, as local residents, will only have to give 30% of your income as a token of appreciation. ”

"Are you guys being funny? A mouth is like taking away 30% of my income. The iron cuff laughed angrily, he really wanted to hear what the big business Zhang Heng had been talking about was, but it turned out that the other party really didn't lie, it was indeed a big business as high as thirty percent of their existing income, but they paid it to others.

"Open your eyes and take a good look, you still need to maintain the security of these three streets? Your manpower is less than half of mine, and look at you, you don't even have decent armor, what's the difference between you and the beggars on the side of the road, so thank you, we understand the kindness of the patrol, and we can manage our territory ourselves, so you should continue to circle around this place. ”

The words of the iron cuffs also caused a burst of merry laughter in the tavern, no way, the patrol is already famous here, they have not even solved a single case in the last two months, and even once watched the criminal swagger away from the eyes, because neither passers-by nor the victims were willing to testify, and the evidence was destroyed.

The words of the iron handcuffs also made many patrol members' faces flush, although they have been living here all the time, but after all, they are law enforcers, and they still have a bit of the dignity of law enforcers, of course they are angry when they are insulted like this, but they can't refute it, and some people even start to blame Zhang Heng.

Look at what he said before, making money is a lot of trouble, and the result is just to let the patrol people humiliate themselves.

Zhang Heng didn't speak, until the laughter in the tavern was a little quieter, and then he spoke again unhurriedly, "Okay, although you scolded us, but as law enforcers, we don't care about these things, we still have to do what we need to do, and we will help you maintain law and order around here." ”

"Are you so cheap? I just said I wouldn't give you a single one. The shackles sneered.

"I heard it, but I'm sure you'll change your mind, because from tomorrow, our patrol range will only be three streets around here, you're right, this ghost place is too big, and we have fewer people, I think it's time to pick out the key points, 12 people, three streets, and only work during the day, rest assured, this time we will definitely take care of it, I can guarantee that all the crimes on these three streets will not be hidden, of course, it will be none of our business after the work is over."
