Chapter 190: Earn Money Together
It may sound ridiculous that the patrol is to be nosy in the first rule, but it doesn't seem incomprehensible considering the dire situation Aris and the others are facing.
However, it is a pity that Aris didn't know that the Oriental man in front of him appeared outside the gate of the patrol to do something, the reason why Zhang Heng hadn't done it before was just to collect all the information from all sides first, and wait for the appropriate entry point to appear, and now that the intelligence collection is almost complete, the entry point has also been found, and the next step is to do it.
Aris also had a bit of a headache about what to do with the new Oriental.
It only said that Zhang Heng would assist him in maintaining law and order in this area, but did not explain Zhang Heng's identity and position in detail, it stands to reason that in this case, Aris only needs to treat the other party as a newcomer, but Zhang Heng is a person in the palace, and it is rumored that Commodus values him a lot, the two met for the first time, although Zhang Heng was polite, but Aris also saw that the other party was not a person who liked to obey orders.
"I wonder what your plans are for joining the patrol, whether you want to be in charge of night patrols with us, or do you want to maintain law and order during the day with Captain Spilatta?"
Aris didn't ask this question, Zhang Heng originally planned to ask it, but since the captain spoke first, Zhang Heng just continued, "Actually, I want to borrow your team for it." ”
"Borrow my squad?" Aris was stunned when he heard this, "Do you mean that you are here to be the captain?" ”
Zhang Heng's request is undoubtedly very rude, if it was when he just came back from the army in the early years, Aris might have immediately let the other party know who was the boss of the patrol, but his temper has been almost worn out in this stagnant place over the years, the position of the patrol captain is no longer so important to him, anyone can sit, but sitting in this position is very responsible, not only twelve people behind him, but also twelve families, Aris can't be easily handed over.
"No, you are still the captain, you can do whatever you should do in normal times, as long as you are willing to listen to my command when it is critical." Zhang Hengdao.
"What is the critical time?" Aris frowned.
"For example, tonight, I need you to accompany me to the tavern." Zhang Hengdao.
"What are you doing at the tavern?"
"Let's talk about a few business, didn't you say that because of the poor results in the assessment, there is very little money given above," Zhang Heng looked around, "I noticed that many of your subordinates do not have suitable armor, according to you, this is quite dangerous when patrolling, and a big reason for your current predicament is that there is no money, in this case, then make money first." ”
"How do you make money going to a tavern, do you want to be a waiter?" Someone couldn't help but interject.
"No, just stand still." Zhang Heng said, "You can leave the rest to me to deal with." ”
"Can you make money just standing still?" Another person expressed skepticism, and in fact his words also represented the voice of the vast majority of people.
The shortest time that this group of them have been here for half a year, they know how difficult it is to make money in this ghost place, even if they go to brush a plate, there is a commission from the local forces, and it is likely that there is more than one, and Zhang Heng swore that as long as he stood up, he could make money, how it sounded like a fantasy.
"There's no point in me lying to you, I'll be exposed soon, how about it, would you like to come with me tonight?" Zhang Heng's gaze swept over everyone.
When everyone heard this, they all set their eyes on the captain of Arris, obviously compared to Zhang Heng, an outsider, they were still more willing to believe in the old captain of Aris.
Aris knows his group of people too well, everyone has been poor for too long, life has been tight, when he heard that there was an opportunity to make money, he was actually moved, and it was only out of respect that he let him, the captain, take the idea, but even if he didn't agree, it didn't make much sense to use his prestige to forcibly suppress the matter.
Because he can press it once, can he press it a second time, a third time? Zhang Heng doesn't have to do anything, as long as he asks once a day, there will always be someone who can't help it in the end, this is a matter of time, thinking about this, it is not difficult to understand why the look on Zhang Heng's face on the other side is so relaxed, as if he is not worried that he will refuse at all.
So Aris didn't stop any longer, "Okay, then tonight we will be under your command." ”
"Plus the team that patrols during the day, let's go together, rest or something, you can wait to make up for it when you come back." Zhang Hengdao.
Aris still knows the reason for earning money together, since he didn't stop the first team, of course he won't stop the second team, and nodded when he heard this, "Spilata, they should be back soon." ”
In fact, just as Aris said this, the five people led by Spilata walked back from the street outside, one of them was still holding wood in his hand and waiting to repair the half-repaired table, but he heard his colleagues talk about going to the tavern to make money, and their reactions were similar to those of Aris and the others when they first heard the news, and their faces were a little hard to believe.
But anyway, being deceived is to make an extra trip, and everyone is still willing to join in.
So Zhang Heng finally gathered all the twelve members of the patrol team, and walked towards a tavern called Blackwater Bay with him.
However, Zhang Heng did not walk into Heishui Bay at the first time, but waited for a while, and waited until the money-robbing boy he met in the afternoon, as well as his three companions, also ran over from the alley.
Zhang Heng now knows that the money-robbing boy is named Saikeus, nicknamed Soap.
Zhang Heng didn't know why he had such a nickname, probably because he didn't keep his hands, and it wasn't easy to be caught when he grabbed money, but it didn't matter, this kind of thing didn't matter anyway.
Zhang Heng asked Soap, "Are the iron cuffs and his people in it now?" ”
Soap nodded, "Yes, on the last day of the week, the thieves in the three nearby streets will come to report to the handcuffs, and at the same time hand over the big heads who have grabbed the money this week, and those who rob more will be rewarded, and those who rob less will be punished." ”
Speaking of being punished, a look of fear appeared on his face again, "The seven people you killed before, the leader is called the black-tailed snake, he is the right-hand man of the iron cuffs, and he also has a very powerful thug called the severed finger, and all the thieves in the three nearby streets must listen to them." ”
"Ha, then it looks like he's the one I'm looking for." Zhang Heng patted Soap's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go in together to meet this iron cuff and his men, don't be afraid, from now on you will be our man, and no one will dare to touch you." ”
