Late at night, in Jiangyin City, in a remote alley.

There are small shops and a large number of residential areas.

"Bang bang!" a loud knock resounded through the alley.

"Get up, get up for Lao Tzu!" A **** man with a scar on his face led more than a hundred people to shout in the alley.

The inhabitants of this alley were awakened, and they pushed open the door and looked out in confusion.

"Come out, come out for me!" one of the minions saw someone open the doorway, grabbed the owner of the house, and dragged them out of the room.

The residents of the alley, the shopkeeper and the guys were all driven out of their homes and driven into the alley.

The strong man held a big knife, stood in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, hello everyone, you can call Lao Tzu Huye, in the future, your land will be Lao Tzu's territory, and in the future, you people, the family will pay Lao Tzu a purple gold coin a month." Those who open shops pay ten gold to Lao Tzu a month. ”

"Ahh

The crowd suddenly became a sensation, for ordinary residents, a month's income, there may not be a gold, isn't this their life?

A middle-aged man in his forties said loudly: "When we came, General Jiangyin Chengye promised to give us tax exemption, and ordinary residents don't charge any fees for living here, so why do you still charge for it." ”

"Less nonsense!" Tiger Master stepped forward and kicked on the middle-aged man's lower abdomen, countless people who saw this scene subconsciously followed the corner of their eyes, this person called Tiger Master is very powerful, and everyone present is far from being an opponent.

The middle-aged man was kicked and smashed into the crowd behind him.

"Is this your daughter?" Tiger Master stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing beside the middle-aged man, and pinched her delicate face.

"Ah!" cried out the girl, hurrying into the crowd.

The middle-aged man hurriedly got up and hugged his daughter in his arms.

"Hahahaha!" Tiger Master laughed, and then said viciously to the middle-aged man, "If you can hand over the money, it's fine, if you can't hand it over, just take your daughter, and the rest of the people, either pay the money, or hand over other things, or get out." Hmph, Master Tiger, I put my words here today, whoever doesn't cooperate, Lao Tzu will kill you to show you. ”

The big knife of the tiger master glowed with a cold cold light under the moon, and the little minions next to them were also ruthless characters, everyone's eyes were full of cruelty, and their personal feeling was that they were a group of outlaws.

"Ahem!" a man in his thirties walked out of the crowd and smiled at the tiger master, "Is the tiger master?"

"If there's a fart, let it go!" said the tiger master fiercely.

The man smiled: "I am the Li Zheng here, responsible for managing this street, General Ye once said, I don't want a black gold coin from the ordinary people here, and for the shops, there are also prescribed business taxes, you do this, it is against the original intention of the general." ”

The tiger master smiled and said: "How he wants to collect it is his business, and how Lao Tzu wants to collect it is Lao Tzu's business." Come, pay me money, one gold for ordinary people, ten gold for opening a store, if you don't pay, you should try to see if Lao Tzu will kill people, you, what do you see, haven't you seen the protection fee?"

There was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a dissatisfied face, his eyes glaring at the tiger master, and he was caught by the tiger master.

"Son, don't be stubborn, go to the back. A middle-aged woman in her forties anxiously persuaded the young man, but the young man did not listen, and still glared at the tiger master fiercely.

The tiger master stepped forward, slapped the young man on the cheek, slapped him to the ground, and then spit on the young man's body with a mouthful of saliva, and said disdainfully: "A miscellaneous crumb, dare to stare at Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you." ”

Immediately, the tiger master took out the knife and gestured above the young man's head.

"My lord, please don't. The middle-aged woman stepped forward, knelt down and begged, and then suddenly thought of something, took out a purple gold from her waist and handed it to the tiger master, and said loudly, "Tiger master, we have handed it over, please raise your noble hand." ”

"Hehe, it's still your acquaintance. Hu Ye smiled happily, "What about you, don't force Hu Ye to use violence, Lao Tzu used to kill too many people, and now he wants to accumulate good deeds, but if you have to force Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can only kill people to show you." ”

The situation is stronger than people, and everyone is helpless, so they can only take out a purple gold to buy their lives, but they sigh in their hearts, it turns out that it is the same everywhere, in this world, there is no tax-free place at all, and this place is even more ruthless than the place where they lived before, and they used to pay a purple gold for more than half a year.

Now I finally found a house in Jiangyin City, and I thought I could live the kind of good life advertised by Jiangyin City, but it turned out that I left the poor countryside and went to hell.

Countless people sighed, shook their heads, and then untied their belts and handed a purple gold coin to Master Hu.

Some people think about selling the house within this month and moving to another place.

。。。。。。。。。。

"Oh, not only are there people in the city who collect protection money, but even in those villages, there are people who collect it?" Yechen sat in the study, and Lin Shuang stood in front of him.

"Yes, General!" Lin Shuang said respectfully, "My subordinates have investigated, the origin of these people is very complicated, some of them are outlaws, and they are all famous and fierce people in other places, and now they have seen the prosperity of our Jiangyin City, transferred their destination, and led people to our Jiangyin City." There are also some people who are not like outlaws, but more like warriors who take care of their homes. Now, more than 500 forces have entered and begun to attack the people in our city. ”

"Oh, you mean, someone is afraid that my Jiangyin City is not lively enough, so they deliberately add firewood to us?" Yechen said with a smile.

Lin Shuang responded: "The subordinates think so, but there is no evidence, but the subordinates think, this kind of thing, there is no need for evidence."

Yechen said lightly: "Oh, then why don't you act." ”

Lin Shuang said: "After all, there are so many people involved, so the subordinates want to ask the general how to deal with it, whether to kill, close, or expel him, without getting the general's will, the subordinates dare not act privately." ”

Yechen glanced at Lin Shuang meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Learn to play tricks." ”

"Don't dare!" Lin Shuang lowered his head and couldn't help but smile, since Yechen didn't severely condemn it, it means that Yechen didn't care about his approach.

Lin Shuang can't say that he is playing tricks, this is originally within his scope of responsibility, and the power under Yechen has reached its peak, but he wants to show his face more in front of Yechen, and he is afraid that if he doesn't meet for a long time, he will be forgotten by the other party.

Yechen squinted his eyes slightly, there was a faint cold light flowing in his eyes, and he murmured softly: "I didn't expect Jiangyin City to start growing tumors just after the construction began, this crooked wind is very bad!"
