Chapter 96: Internal and External Troubles

Zhang Chu hurried back to the Black Tiger Hall.

Before he entered the lobby, he shouted loudly: "Let Han Baohu come and he will come to see me!"

The mule that followed him answered, turned and trotted away.

Zhang Chu went straight into the entrance of the hall, tore off the blood-stained big gun on his body and threw it aside, turned to look at the big bear who followed him in: "What about the casualties of the guards?"

Hearing him ask about this, Da Xiong's face suddenly darkened: "I broke three brothers, and two broke my hands and feet......"

In today's battle, the guards have been protecting Zhang Chu's left and right, except for Zhang Chu, they are the most stressed!

When Zhang Chu heard this, his distressed face distorted.

The brethren of the guard followed him every day in and out with him, ate at the same table, sat and drank together, and he knew each one, and he valued every single one!

He felt distressed to lose one.

Not to mention the loss of three at once!

He was silent for a long time before he said weakly: "If it is broken, it will be buried thickly, and the family will take it over, and I will personally place them." If they are disabled, they will be given a pension of twenty taels per person, and after the injury is healed, I will find two more idle seats with oil and water for them to make a living!"

The big bear clenched his fists and bent down, choking up: "Thank you, Hall Master!"

Zhang Chu let out a long sigh and said, "From now on, the guards will be reorganized into the bloody clothes team, and the manpower will be expanded to thirty people, selected from the old brothers in the gang...... You have to know who you want to come in, don't choose a ghost to enter the house!"

Da Xiong nodded: "Subordinates understand!"

While he was talking, the mule led Han Baohu in.

Han Baohu walked up to the hall, rarely clenched his fists respectfully and bent over: "Hall Master!"

Zhang Chu glanced at him and asked, "Have the casualties been counted?"

Han Baohu was stunned, and instinctively shook his head and said, "I haven't counted ...... yet."

Zhang Chu slapped his palm on the chair in front of him, and slapped the sturdy sandalwood Taishi chair to pieces on the spot: "Then what are you eating?"

A layer of fine cold sweat suddenly appeared on Han Baohu's forehead, and he hurriedly bent down and said, "My subordinates will go and count!"

With that, he turned around and hurried out.

Big Bear watched his back disappear at the end of the courtyard and laughed in a low voice, "This guy is now submissive." ”

Zhang Chu sneered and said lightly: "He is a smart person. ”

"Go and call me Li Gouzi!"

"Yes!"

Big Bear turned and went out.

After he left, Zhang Chu walked to the hall and sat down slowly with his arm on the armrest of the chair, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Today's battle is not what he wants.

He tried his best to slow down the Black Tiger Hall, consolidate his strength, and wait for the spring of the next year to fight out of the Wutong Lane.

He really didn't expect that a simple business grab would turn into a war so quickly...... In the end, he underestimated the extent to which the people in these gangs relied on violence.

Now it's okay, the loser Cheng Dafang died, and Xu Hong abandoned his turf and fled...... Before they started, they definitely didn't expect this ending.

Losers should be upset.

But Zhang Chu, the winner, is also uncomfortable now!

What does it mean to take too big a step and pull an egg?

Zhang Chu is now!

swallowed the waves of Hutong and Saddle Market at one time, and all internal and external troubles came out at once!

Internal worries:

The fallen brothers are in urgent need of a pension and lack of money!

The ground that has been laid down is in urgent need of manpower to guard and operate, and there is a shortage of people!

The gang coalition of three or four hundred who were brought back was not released!

This time, the nest went out to make a big move, and the chief helmsman was waiting for him to give an explanation!

Foreign aggression:

Cheng Dafang killed him, no matter whether Cheng Dafang's sister was the favorite concubine of the county thief Lord Cao Wang, he had to give an explanation to Lord Wang.

He also robbed the saddle market, but Xu Hong, the leader of the Axe Gang, did not die, he killed Xu Hong's own brother Xu Qiang, Xu Hong couldn't just give up!

Nothing is easy to solve!

"After all, it's too urgent, if you delay it for half a year, there won't be so much trouble......"

After a headache alone for a long time, Zhang Chu finally had to lift his spirits and cheer himself up: "But it doesn't matter, things will always be done one by one!"

"A bald boss once said that if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and I will solve the internal trouble first!"

"Master Chu!"

Li Gouzi's elated voice came from outside, and as soon as Zhang Chu raised his eyes, he saw Li Gouzi walking into the lobby with blood on his hands.

Blood is not unusual.

Who in the Black Tiger Hall doesn't have any blood on their bodies at this time?

But the key is that the blood stains on this guy's hands are fresh.

Zhang Chu couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing?"

Li Gouzi followed his gaze and noticed the blood on his hands.

But this thing didn't care at all, wiped his hands on his clothes, and said with a hippie smile: "Hey, I didn't do anything, but there were two kings and eight lambs who broke the rope and wanted to escape, so I chopped them off!"

He spoke with such a relaxed demeanor as if he had killed not two people, but two chickens!

Zhang Chu looked at him, and his heart couldn't stop hairing.

The murderous nature of this product is getting heavier and heavier!

In the past, he was still confident that he could suppress the murderous nature of this thing!

Now, he doesn't have that confidence.

If this continues, sooner or later this thing will grow into a murderous maniac!

He felt a big headache, and secretly said to everyone who was worry-free: "Get out, wash your hands and come in again!"

"Okay!"

Li Gouzi did not hesitate to respond as before, turned around and went out.

As soon as Li Gouzi went out, Han Baohu came back.

He walked to the front of the hall and said in a posture and tone that Zhang Chu couldn't pick out: "Hall Master, the subordinates have finished counting, and my Black Tiger Hall has lost eighty-seven brothers in this battle, seriously injured sixty-three people, and lightly injured one hundred and twenty-eight people!"

Zhang Chu frowned again.

This number has far exceeded his heart's expectations.

The minor injuries are not counted, but the serious injuries are mostly the kind of injuries that are healed and disabled, and the number of people who are damaged has exceeded one hundred and fifty.

The entire hall of the Black Tiger Hall is only more than 400 people!

More than a third of the manpower was lost in the first battle!

It's too heavy!

He stroked his forehead and groaned for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Go, call all the big brothers to come to discuss the matter for me!"

"Yes!"

After Han Baohu saluted, he turned around and went out.

Just as Li Gouzi came back after cleaning his hands, the two took a look at each other, looked at each other a few times, and they were all unhappy.

"Master Chu, what are you doing here?"

Li Gouzi walked into the lobby with his hand and asked with an unhappy face.

Zhang Chu glared at him and reprimanded, "You don't care what he does, sit down!"

"Oh!"

Li Gouzi reluctantly responded and sat on the first chair on Zhang Chu's left.

Zhang Chu: "What are the casualties of your brothers?"

Li Gouzi thought about it carefully and said, "Fortunately, there are only five brothers in total, and there are no serious injuries." ”

Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The Guards and the Blood Knife Team are the two trump cards in his hands.

The Guard is already crippled.

If the Blood Knife Team is crippled, it will be difficult to hold such a large territory.

"How are those people who have been escorted back, are they honest?"

Li Gouzi: "Most of them are quite honest, just a few, they have been trying to escape, and I get angry when I look at them!"

Zhang Chu: "Then do you think there is any possibility for these people to be recruited into our Black Tiger Hall?"

"If you let go, of course they can't wait to join our Black Tiger Hall!"

Li Gou frowned, "But you have to think about this matter carefully, if you do this, the old brothers in the hall will definitely feel uncomfortable!"

Zhang Chu didn't know that doing so would make the old brothers in the church have opinions in their hearts.

But he couldn't help it.

The shortage of manpower is too big to hold such a large territory.

You can't let him spit out the fat that he ate in his stomach, right?

Zhang Chu sighed and said, "Zhao, I must have made a move, and I will draw up some terms later, so as to make the old brothers feel better...... Don't say that Lao Tzu doesn't take care of you, now that everyone is in your hands, you go back in advance and make arrangements in advance, once I open my mouth, the big brothers will definitely run to you to grab people!"

"They dare!"

Li Gouzi patted the armrest of the seat and stood up, glared at him and said loudly: "Whoever dares to rob someone from me, I will kill him with a knife!"

Zhang Chu glared at him and shouted, "It was Lao Tzu who asked them to rob it, you can kill Lao Tzu with a knife!"

Li Gouzi shuddered, sat back on the chair and whispered aggrievedly: "Since you asked them to rob it, then, then, forget it!"

Zhang Chu patted the armrest of the seat, and shouted hatefully: "They all said that if you arrange it in advance, you won't pick away the eye-catching good hands first?

Li Gouzi's eyes lit up, and he turned around and ran out: "I'll arrange ...... now."

Zhang Chu shouted at his back: "Hurry up, come back quickly when it's over!"

"Got it. ”

......

Two quarters of an hour later, the ten eldest brothers of the Black Tiger Hall gathered together.

This time, so many brothers were lost, but these big brothers are alive and well.

Zhang Chu looked around, put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "I know the big guys are very busy, so let's make a long story short!"

"First, the brothers who have been damaged this time will all have an increased bereavement pension, ten taels each...... Don't interject, I haven't finished speaking, this pension is considered to be from the hall, but now the money in the hall is also very tight, and your current advance payment will be converted into the next month's payment!"

"I scandalized that I was ahead, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, once I heard that the brother who broke the door died outside for the Tangkou to do things, but there was no rice to cook for the New Year at home, the eldest brother to whom he belonged was deprived of his territory and expelled from the Black Tiger Hall!"

"Second, my Black Tiger Hall has suffered heavy casualties in this battle, you can go to Li Gouzi later, select people from the people we escorted back, and make up for the damage!"

"But the people to choose, the first must be someone who has not killed my brother in the Black Tiger Hall today, and the second must be someone who has joined the Axe Gang and the Brotherhood for less than a year.

"Third, I plan to promote ten more big brothers, guard the Saddle Market and Wave Hutong, before tomorrow, each of you will elect two brothers to me, I will inspect them one by one, those who can take the position, and those who can't stay put!"

"I'm done, whoever has any objections can raise them. ”

Zhang Chu picked up the tea bowl and lowered his head to drink tea.

The hall was eeriely quiet.

The ten eldest brothers look at me and I look at you, and their eyes are full of eagerness.

After a while, someone finally got up and bent over with his fists clenched, and said respectfully: "May I ask the hall master, can we use the land at hand to replace the land in the Wave Hutong and the Saddle Market?"

Zhang Chu didn't look up, and spit out a word lightly: "But!"

The man who spoke sat back with ecstatic eyes in his eyes.

As soon as he sat down, someone stood up again and said respectfully: "What is the promotion standard of the new eldest brother, please show the hall master!"

The person who spoke was Han Baohu.

Zhang Chu closed the tea bowl, looked up at him, and said, "First, I have made a contribution to my Black Tiger Hall!"

"Second, I can convince the public!"

"Third, I'm pleasing to the eye!"

There was silence again.
