Chapter 28: The Greedy Captain of the Guard
In the small manor, Huang Kai was drinking tea and chatting with a guest. And that guest, coincidentally, was the owner of the medicine hall in Blackstone Town, Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo and Huang Kai are old acquaintances, and he wants to explore the details of Zheng Haoyu, so naturally he also came to Huang Kai in advance to do a little bit and ask him not to interfere.
Zhang Kai asked, "Does Captain Huang know the origin of Zheng Haoyu?"
Huang Kai took a sip of tea and said, "He is not a local. I brought a lot of salt with me, and I don't know where it really came from. Do you know a thing or two about Pharmacist Zhang?"
Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "How do I know? It's just that this Zheng Haoyu is a little unkind!"
"Where do you start?"
"He didn't say hello to me when he came to Blackstone. At the beginning, a large number of medicinal materials were purchased and quenching fluids were refined. It's not easy to do my pharmacy business. This is clearly going against me Zhang!"
Zhang Mo said while observing Huang Kai's expression and seeing that he was not unusual. continued: "Captain Huang, we are also old friends. Over the years, what the town guards have to do every year, our pharmacy has contributed a lot of money and efforts. ”
"Of course I know. Huang Kai nodded.
"I don't know if Captain Huang can come forward and talk to that Zheng Haoyu. Let him leave Blackstone Town?" asked Zhang Mo tentatively.
This is actually his ultimate goal, the business in Blackstone Town is so big, it can't accommodate the second business of medicinal herbs and quenching fluids.
Although Dadi Department Store claims that the event is only half a month, their acquisition of medicinal materials is not only half a month.
The price of Dadi Department Store is more affordable than that of the medicine hall, and the villagers are more willing to sell to Dadi Department Store. Fighting a price war? Zhang Mo was unwilling.
He is so comfortable as a rich man, monopolizing the price of medicinal materials in Blackstone Town, why should he make a profit?
Huang Kai smiled and said, "I, Huang, am a guard captain, and I only care about the security here, and when it comes to doing business, Huang can't manage it." ”
Zhang Mo secretly cursed in his heart, cunning! In Blackstone Town, isn't Huang Kai equivalent to the "mayor" here? What does he want to do, who can care about him?
Unless it was a big man from the city, he didn't dare to care. It must be that Huang Kai didn't know the details of Zheng Haoyu, so he didn't want to interfere.
At this moment, the servant came to report: "Master, there is a guest visiting outside, saying that it is the shopkeeper of Dadi Department Store and bringing gifts." ”
"As he spoke, the main lord has arrived!" Zhang Mo snorted coldly, it seems that Zheng Haoyu also plans to "find justice" from Huang Kai!
Huang Kai looked at Zhang Mo with a little smile on his face, and said, "Huang is really a little embarrassed!"
Zhang Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Huang, I won't say anything more." This year, the medicine hall will double the offerings to the guards! Then Zheng Haoyu also asked Captain Huang not to interfere. ”
He was already planning to deal with Zheng Haoyu by himself. Zhang Mo's decision was not reckless, if Zheng Haoyu had a background, he would definitely not come to a poor place like Blackstone Town.
Moreover, when he encountered something, he came to Huang Kai, which showed that he really didn't have any strength.
Huang Kai smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Zhang Mo retreated to the room, and Huang Kai went out to see Zheng Haoyu.
When Zheng Haoyu saw Huang Kai, he saw him shirtless and practicing boxing in the courtyard. He was muscular and full of power.
There were some large stones that were as tall as a person in the garden, and Huang Kai shouted loudly and smashed them down with a punch, and the stones were actually smashed directly! Even the places where the force was directly affected turned into powder. If this power hits people, I am afraid that it can beat people into rotten flesh!
Sure enough, he is a military general with Yuan Li, and his strength cannot be underestimated. Zheng Haoyu hugged his fists and said: "Captain Huang, Zheng is disturbed!"
"Where, where?" Huang Kai said with a smile, "Zheng's shopkeeper's business has been booming recently, and Huang still wants to find an opportunity to congratulate him!"
Zheng Haoyu didn't believe that he would congratulate, and it was strange that he didn't come to collect "protection money"! He handed Huang Kai a delicate gift box that he had brought with him.
"This is a quenching body solution in Zheng's store, and it is the first time I have come to the door to show a little respect. ”
Huang Kai was very satisfied with Zheng Haoyu's performance, he didn't care who was doing business in Blackstone Town, just give him benefits anyway.
After a hypocritical conversation, Zheng Haoyu euphemistically explained his intentions, and he said: "Captain Huang, there have been some scoundrels at the door of my store recently, who often hinder me from doing business, you see?"
Huang Kai pretended not to know and said in surprise: "There is still this kind of thing? These scoundrels are indeed hateful, don't worry, I will let the guards take care of them more, and see which of them dares to make trouble!"
"In this case, then it will be troublesome to Captain Huang!" Zheng Haoyu hugged his fists.
Huang Kai also clenched his fists and said, "The responsibility is, don't bother." ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Haoyu took his leave. Before leaving, Huang Kai reminded him euphemistically: "Shopkeeper Zheng, I forgot to tell you something." ”
"You see, our guards have to defend the town from robbers and monsters, and we also have to maintain law and order. Therefore, the guards often have to be trained and armed, and these need crystals. The big families in the town voluntarily donate some guard money every year......"
When he said this, how could Zheng Haoyu not understand that this was a protection fee!
Zheng Haoyu asked, "Then I don't know how much they donate?"
"Not much, not much. Huang Kai said with a smile, "Like the medicine hall in the town, it donates five or six hundred crystals every year." ”
Five or six hundred crystal coins! Zheng Haoyu had to scold this guy in his heart for being greedy for money and shameless, in this poor place of Blackstone Town, except for those who sell quenching body fluids, who can make so much money in a year? It seems that Huang Kai has made up his mind to make money from him!
Zheng Haoyu is not very happy to give this money. But listening to Huang Kai's meaning, if he doesn't come out, he will have to favor Yaotang.
Zheng Haoyu hesitated a little, so he said: "I'm really sorry, Zheng is a newcomer and doesn't know the rules." Be sure to have it ready next time!"
He dragged it out first, and then he had to think about whether or not to give this money, or how much to give.
When Huang Kai heard him say this, his expression immediately turned a lot colder, and said: "In that case, then the housekeeper, help me send off the guest, Huang will not send it." ”
After Zheng Haoyu left, Zhang Mo came out of the room and asked, "Captain Huang, don't forget your previous words." ”
Huang Kai said: "Naturally, I won't forget that Huang is only in charge of public security, and he won't ask about the rest." ”
Zhang Mo secretly said in his heart, he is really an old fox. Just now he clearly promised Zheng Haoyu that as long as Zheng Haoyu pays the money, he will take care of things.
Now it seems that he planned to have money for both families, but he didn't care about anything. Watch them compete with each other, and reap the benefits of the fishermen themselves!
However, Zhang Mo's goal has been achieved, Zheng Haoyu's performance just now. Let him be sure that Zheng Haoyu has no background, and he has any means that he can use with confidence.
Zheng Haoyu left Huang Kai's manor, still thinking about what happened just now. As soon as he entered the manor, Huang Kai gave himself a dismount, punched the stone, and showed his authority.
Then he asked for benefits, but he didn't give an exact explanation. is really treacherous to the extreme, Zheng Haoyu really suspects that he has given benefits, and he may not necessarily help himself.
