Chapter 31 Collection of Protection Fees

"Who else can there be, uncle?" Zhang Wen added.

"It's not that kid from the cold old man's house, it's a little like a man, like a beast! If it weren't for the fact that a few of us ran fast, we would have been beaten like thisβ€”"

"Yes, uncle, it's that kid! Really, the strength is huge, a few of us haven't practiced, where is his opponent?"

Li Wu also hurriedly added a sentence, after Li Wu finished speaking, Zhao Si was not far behind, walked to the table, and said with a bitter face,

"Yes, uncle, that guy has been collecting firewood on the North Mountain for the past few years, there must be ghosts! No one dared to go up the mountain in the past, but that kid dared to go up the mountain alone, and he was fine for so many years? There must be ghosts-?"

"Yes, uncle, that kid's fists and feet are so fast, you didn't even see it clearly, and he hit him - it hurts!"

"Our big swords have been lost, and they have been bent by him, my lord, only you can come forward now, and we all count on you to be the master for us, otherwise, otherwise, otherwise, how will we mix in the future?"

、、、、、、

The crowd vied with each other to tell the bitter story, and this voice was ghostly, and the power was incomparable, how could it be mixed up in the future? Again and again Wan Jinbao was reminded of the unspeakable memories of that year, that night, and here, and the slightest pain! And the beautiful girl who witnessed his ugly appearance at his behest made him a little uneasy.

What he was thinking in his heart at this time was not how powerful the little Lingwa was? He was thinking about what the relationship between the Lingwa and the rotten cripple was? If he moved the Lingwa, would it attract the lame man's second revenge? Thinking of this, listening to everyone's gossip, he only clenched his fists and gently knocked on the table, and he didn't pay attention for a while?

"So, this, this, what's the name of this kid?" In order not to lose face in front of everyone, Wan Jinbao pretended to be calm and asked unhurriedly. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Lingwa, it's called Lingwa! It's always been called that, Lingwa!" Zhang Wen hurriedly said.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, uncle, so that kid is the ghost-" Zhang Wen also pretended to have a bitter face. He thought, your uncle should have known that kid for so many years, right? He has been in the noodle shop, not far from your house, you knowingly asked, right?

Everyone looked at Wan Jinbao with a pair of eager and expectant eyes.

"I should have seen that kid, but I don't know what his name is?" said Wan Jinbao.

"You don't have to make a fuss, maybe that kid is practicing every day, and you guys show off your martial arts on the surface, but in fact you don't have any ability, so you were beaten like this by him when you fight. Let's go back and practice hard! As for how to deal with him, find an opportunity another day, meet that kid, I'll see if it's as powerful as you say?"

After speaking, he turned his head to look left and right, and said, "Why are you stunned? It's noon, sitting here, there is no tea, no food, are you all scared stupid?"

When Zhang Wen heard this, he remembered that it was time to serve wine and food and entertain the uncle, and hurriedly said:

"Some uncles, some of them, some of them, your old man personally makes the decisions for the little ones, where do the little people dare to slack off? It's already booked, I'm going to ask them to serve the food, haha!"

So everyone sat up one after another, gossiping and laughing, and competing for flattery. Wan Jinbao is like a savior in everyone's hearts, high and useful.

――

Since that night, Lingwa defeated four knife-wielding hooligans with two wooden sticks, Lingwa's prestige spread throughout the town overnight.

Since then, people have known that the boy who has been going up the mountain to collect firewood for a long time in the Wanmen Restaurant has a unique skill and is extremely powerful!

The business of the noodle shop is also quite good, many teenagers come to eat noodles and see the spirit baby; even the business of the cold old man outside the noodle shop is also flawless, people seek medical advice, or fortune telling, and the busy old man cannot get along.

Lingwa also rarely shows up, Boss Wan said to Lingwa several times, no need to go to the firewood anymore, no need to go up the mountain anymore, the matter of firewood and the matter is nothing, you can stay in the store to help, or open a new store, all by yourself to manage -

But Lingwa is dedicated to practicing, where does she have the heart to do business? She doesn't have the heart to pay attention to the pursuit of outsiders, insists on going up the mountain every day, doing the same thing, living freely, quietly, and enjoying it. Even if someone bumped into him sooner or later and took the initiative to greet him, he would smile lightly and say nothing.

There are also many teenagers who are curious and want to secretly follow Lingwa up the mountain to see what mysteries are on the North Mountain?

But they are all ordinary pawns, born weak and unwinded, where can they keep up with the Lingwa? Before they reach the foot of the mountain, they are thrown away by the Lingwa, even if there is a strong boy who climbs the North Mountain desperately, when he reaches the top of the mountain, he is also confused by the wild thick branches and trees, where can he find someone?

Leng Banxian knows the art of divination, and of course he knows the truth that fortune is evil! Seeing that Lingwa was so famous overnight, and her business was so hot overnight, it was very abnormal, and it was estimated that there would be any trouble? While he was busy treating people and telling fortunes, he was also preoccupied and couldn't be happy!

On this day, the sun has just risen, the streets are busy, and everything is still lively!

Wan Jinlong, the second young master of the Wan family, really took office, and walked out of the Wanjia compound with more than a dozen sturdy men in black clothes and black pants and carrying water and fire sticks.

Wan Jinlong was dressed in a purple robe decorated with coins, a long braid combed neatly and straightly, wearing a purple round fox fur hat, tall and tall, with an arrogant expression, holding an account book in one hand, and a small abacus in the back, walking in front with his head held high, and a group of men in black followed closely behind him like wolves and tigers.

They started in their yards and prepared to sweep from west to east, from east to north, and from north to south, from house to house.

"Boss Zhao, the tax has been collected! Your family's protection fee and taxes this month totaled 500 copper plates, can you take a look?"

People who knew each other asked directly about money at the first time they opened their mouths! Rich people laughed with each other and hurriedly handed over the money.

"Boss Wang, the tax has been collected, I remember in my account, your family still owes 200 copper plates last month, plus 500 this month, a total of 700 copper plates, how about it?"

Boss Wang, who had just opened the store, was a cloth seller, and before the first business entered, there was a person who asked for an account, so it can be seen that the mood of this day was not much better? Hearing that he owed so many taxes and fees, he was confused? More than a dozen men in black who were eyeing each other surrounded the door, and they didn't dare to fight if they had anything to say, so they quickly rummaged through the boxes to find money, and it took a long time to put a handful of copper plates in Wan Jinlong's hand, and clicked a little, not enough?

"What do you mean, Boss Wang, early in the morning, don't provoke me to talk loudly!"

Wan Jinlong looked coldly at the thin Boss Wang.

"There are still two hundred yuan left, the small ones are not there for the time being, they have been searched all over, there is indeed no second master, next time, next time the small ones must be prepared in advance, definitely, definitely!" Boss Wang begged with both hands.

"The last time we came to ask you, you said next time, next time, now that a month has passed, or next time?" asked a man in black at the door with a stick.

"Hey, my lord, you are really a noble person, how forgetful! Last month, I remember that it was all clear? I personally handed over 500 copper plates to my uncle, I don't owe it? I don't owe money? Where do you dare to owe it? That's why I didn't get ready today?" Boss Wang said again.

"I don't remember handing it in this notebook! I don't believe it, I have your signature!" Wan Jinlong handed the account book to him and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Hey, this, this, hey-" Boss Wang looked at what he had signed, and was dumbfounded for a while?

"Just one word, to pay, or not to pay?" Wan Jinlong asked coldly.

"Hey, this, this, this, it's really not, second master-"

"Okay, come on, take a bundle of cloth and go home, just in time to prepare winter clothes for the brothers!"

After Wan Jinlong finished speaking, he stepped aside and waved his hand to the men in black behind him. I saw two or three men put the sticks in their hands aside, rolled up their sleeves and rushed up, lifted a bundle of fabric, and turned around to leave!

At this time, Boss Wang saw this, knelt on the ground with a tom sound, hugged Wan Jinlong's legs, and begged urgently:

"The second master is angry, the second master is angry, give the villain two days, just two days! Tomorrow afternoon, I must send two hundred copper plates to your house, must, definitely, please, second master! Please-"

"Okay, remember what you said, pay the money tomorrow afternoon?" Wan Jinlong smiled lightly, took the account book to him again, asked the other party to press the handprint, and then asked the three people to put back the fabric that was carried out of the door.

When Boss Wang saw his beloved thing and returned to the store, he put down his hanging mood, and even kowtowed, grateful, and watched the group go out and come to another house.

The other family saw that the situation just now was that they took things without giving money, and they took them by force, and they couldn't be ignored.

Today is the second master, which is different from the past, so they all rummage through the cabinets at home, scrape together, and prepare the money just waiting for the arrival of Wan Jinlong.

Seeing that the merchants are so supportive of themselves and that the tax collection is so smooth, Wan Jinlong is even more energetic and proud! I thought, you Wan Jinbao can call the wind and rain at home with this little ability, and let the old man revolve around you, you are too simple, too much, right? Fortunately, I came out, if only I came out early -- save yourself working at home every day!

A group of people jumped forward and backward around the golden dragon, and collected it all the way from door to door, which can really be described as chickens, ducks, and dogs jumping over the wall.

There is no preparation, the money is not enough, either the pig is taken away, or the chicken is taken away, all the valuable things in the family, can be worth it, Wan Jinlong's account book except for some set a specific time, according to the handprint, there are actual ability of the business, the rest is almost all clear!

Finally, I received the 10,000 noodle restaurant in the center of the town.

The 10,000 noodle restaurant, which used to be plain, has recently become famous because of Lingwa!

Many thugs in the courtyard of Wanjia have heard the legend about Lingwa, and they are all grinding their fists and eager to try, and they have long wanted to see this mysterious boy, is it a legend?

"Just that noodle shop, see if there is no second master? Business has been doing very well recently, you see, you see, it's past noon, and there are so many people in it - he has the best business around!"

"Second master, he has to charge more for his protection fee, otherwise it will be unfair to the surrounding noodle restaurants! Look at it, even the business of the old man who set up a stall in front of him is queuing? There is a suspicion of bullying and unfair competition? There must be a problem, we must charge more-"

"Hey, this old noodle restaurant has come to me recently, the old man who set up the stall has a grandson, I haven't heard of it recently, his grandson is outstanding, isn't it?

"I'm afraid of him, there are so many people, Wanlai Town is still the world of our masters, what is the little fart boy afraid of him? Don't be intimidated by that kid's false name, haha!

Everyone gossiped about Wan Jinlong's heart, which was also up and down, and it was a mess.

If you take it as usual, that little money will definitely not be difficult for Boss Wan, and after you hand it over, everyone will leave?

If you don't collect more, you will live up to the expectations of your brothers, and you will seem to have no prestige, you will be timid and afraid, and it will be difficult to speak in front of everyone in the future?

Watching the noodle restaurant approaching step by step, thinking of the support of many brothers, the prestige of their own time-honored brand, and thinking of Wanlai Town or my Wanjia compound, my family is the king's law, where can I tolerate a little fart boy?

So, my heart was hot, and I decided to double the usual fee, and I must suppress this crooked wind to the noodle restaurant.
