"Protection money?" Chen Ke was stunned for a moment: "When do you still need to pay protection money?" ”

"It's always been like this, if you don't want to pay, get out of the South District." The person who came was very irritable and scolded him directly: "Do you pay it or not?" ”

"Multi-...... How much? Although Chen Ke was very reluctant to pay, he still decided to take a look at the situation first.

"Ten silver coins a month." The person who came said.

"Ten...... Silver coin?! Chen Ke's voice was a little out of tune.

After several consecutive moves, combined with the consumption of this time, he now only had thirty-six silver coins left.

This protection fee is equivalent to almost one-third of his property.

"What, you don't want to pay?" The faces of the people who came became fierce, and there was a tendency to draw knives and cut people if they disagreed.

"Yes, of course." Although Chen Ke was extremely angry in his heart, he also hurriedly said and decided to stabilize these people first.

He asked while taking out the money, "I don't know which force the two big brothers are good at?" ”

"Rock Gang, the entire southern district is under our control, we will protect you if you pay the protection fee, if you don't pay, hum!"

The person who came had a fierce face, and his hideous appearance could scare crying children.

"It turned out to be a good hand of the Rock Gang, which is really disrespectful." With a smiling face and a twitching heart, Chen Ke trembled his hands and handed ten silver coins to the visitor.

"Next month or today, remember to take the initiative, this time it's our brothers who come, and others won't be so easy to talk to."

The person snorted coldly, and then swaggered away with his partner.

Chen Ke bowed his head behind him and bowed his waist to see each other off, until the other party walked out of sight, and his face became gloomy.

His face turned blue, and his hands trembled.

"It costs me ten silver coins a month, and I don't have the means to make money now, this is my life!"

If you don't have money, you don't have anything to eat.

If you don't have anything to eat, you'll starve to death.

It's nothing short of murder.

He closed the door with a gloomy face, returned to the house, and found the white powder he had bought earlier.

"No...... Impulsiveness is the devil......"

Chen Ke tried to suppress the anger in his heart and make excuses for himself: "Moreover, I don't know where the Rock Gang is, how many people there are, and how many masters there are......"

……

After the two people of the Rock Gang walked away, one of them smiled happily: "I didn't expect that this time it turned out to be a scattered wealth master, and he handed over ten silver coins without fighting." ”

"Big brother, why don't we go again, I think that kid is quite cowardly, maybe we go again, he doesn't dare not give it, and he estimates that he is not short of such a little money." The other laughed too.

The first to speak shook his head.

Just when his companion thought that he was going to be kind, he heard him say: "We can't go again, he knows us, even if he can get the money in the end, but he will inevitably resent." In this way, let the seventh and the eighth go over and ask for it again. ”

"Hey, hey, okay, I'm going to call them."

……

As soon as Chen Ke calmed down the anger and grievances in his heart, suddenly there was a knock on the door again.

"In or not, in or not? Open the door, the rock will help! Someone shouted outside.

Chen Ke frowned, puzzled in his heart, but still walked over with a knife and opened the door.

There were still two strong men with knives outside, and one of them shouted directly: "Newly moved? I paid the protection fee, ten silver coins. ”

Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "My protection fee has been paid." ”

"Delivered? No way, the protection fee here is collected by our brother, and we haven't received your protection fee at all! The face of the person who spoke sank: "Boy, do you want to repay the debt?!" ”

Chen Ke's heart sank, and he tried to maintain a smile on his face: "Just now, two people who claimed to be from the Rock Gang came to collect protection money, which is also ten silver coins, and I have already paid it." ”

"Impossible! Boy, you're lying, no one dares to pretend to be us in our Rock Gang's territory! ”

The strong man said angrily: "Is the boy looking for death? I want to rely on the protection money of my Rock Gang, believe it or not, I won't let you see the sun tomorrow! ”

The nameless anger in Chen Ke's heart was about to ignite his body, he tried to suppress his anger, and said with a smile: "That...... Can you prove your identity? Otherwise, in case ......"

"What do you mean, boy? Do you suspect that we are fake? Do you dare to doubt Lao Tzu, are you looking for death?! ”

The strong man directly released his breath, and the spiritual pressure of the third-rate master came to his face, glaring at Chen Ke angrily.

Chen Ke's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'...... I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over, don't be angry, two big brothers, how dare I doubt you. ”

Saying that, he hurriedly took out the money, and then asked cautiously: "Two big brothers, can you ask, does the Rock Gang still accept people?" What are the requirements for the Rock Gang to accept people? By the way, the helper must be strong, right? ”

"Accept, of course, but it has to be assessed, not everyone can enter, at least third-rate."

The strong man said arrogantly: "As for the helper, he is a first-class master, suppressing the entire Southern District...... Less nonsense, get the money quickly! ”

"Give it, give it, it's ten silver coins, you take it!"

Chen Ke trembled his hands and handed over the ten silver coins with a smirk.

The strong man took the money and drank coldly: "Take the initiative next time, otherwise be careful of your bones!" ”

After saying that, he left with his companions.

Chen Ke watched the two leave, the smirk on his face slowly disappeared, and then closed the door with trembling hands.

Back in the house, he took out the rest of the money and counted it.

"There are only seventeen silver coins left......

Chen Ke's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he was so aggrieved that he couldn't breathe.

He sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, and thought about it for a long time.

[Chen Ke: Don't enter the stream]

【Yamakawachi Practice 1st Order: 87/100】

[Torch Crafting Skill: 1/200]

[Pharmaceutical 1st Order: 56/100]

[Poison Primer: 1/100]

[Bullet Expert: 269/800]

[Introduction to Knife Drawing: 9/100]

After a long time, I made sure that I had calmed down and was no longer impulsive.

Chen Ke first glanced at the pharmaceutical skills on the proficiency panel.

Then, without saying a word, he took out two packets of life-breaking powder, and began to transform this medicinal powder by using the pharmaceutical skills he had honed during this time.

Although he is not able to make such a high-grade medicine as Breaking Life Powder now.

But it's just a simple makeover, and there's nothing wrong with that.

After simple processing, he made two packets of powder into a thumb-sized pill.

Dan pills have been manipulated by him, and as long as they are soaked in water, they will volatilize and turn into smoke.

Because the material used is a dead and dispersal without any smell, the smoke itself does not have any smell.

Wait for the pill to cool and solidify.

Chen Ke wrapped the pill in oiled paper, dressed up in disguise, and left the small courtyard with a knife.

After more than half an hour of inquiry, he finally found the Rock Gang.

The Rock Gang is just a small gang, but it occupies a large three-entry compound.

According to the information he heard, there were only more than 20 people in this gang, but the gang leader was a first-class master, the left and right hall masters were all second-rate masters, and the rest were all third-rate masters.

In addition to these masters, there are also ordinary people who do things for them.

The last stream is also counted as ordinary people.

Although there are few people, they are the only force in the southern district, and no one dares to manage them here.

In order to avoid suspicion, he even asked someone to ask if there was anyone nearby who sold the house, saying that he wanted to buy a house, but after bargaining, he didn't buy it.

While doing these things, he silently observed from a distance.

After observation, he found that almost all the people of the Rock Gang lived in that house, and even if they didn't live there, they would come here every day to report, just like clocking in at work.

He waited patiently for a long time, waiting for the rainy season to become overcast again.

It was about to rain, so he first made sure that there was no one around, and then he aimed at the courtyard from a distance, and threw the homemade pill wrapped in oiled paper into it.

After doing all this, he left quietly.

"Boom la la ......"

The downpour of the rainy season is as soon as it is said, and the sky and the earth are covered with rain.

In the courtyard of the Rock Gang's house, under the rain curtain, the stagnant water spread, quickly soaking the pills wrapped in oiled paper.

Then this ordinary pill began to emit white smoke, and the white smoke became thicker and thicker, and as soon as it was blown by the wind, it was scattered everywhere.

And in the huge mansion, the people of the Rock Gang, whether they are ordinary people, third-rate masters, or second-rate masters, but anyone who inhales poisonous smoke suddenly feels that his body is hot, and black blood flows from his nostrils.

"What's going on? Am I sick? ”

Someone wiped his nose in confusion, and found that his palms were full of black blood.

"Poison ......" the man's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he fell straight down.

On the other side, the man who first went to Chen Ke to collect the protection fee and asked him to collect the protection fee for the second time was excitedly showing off to his brothers that he had asked for ten more silver coins.

"It's a pity that we were busy looking for someone at the time, otherwise I would definitely let people collect a few more rounds, that kid don't look in tatters, but he is definitely very rich, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy!"

"Next time, I must let people collect a few more rounds, hahahaha......"

The strong man was talking excitedly, and suddenly found that the people around him began to bleed, and they were all black nosebleeds.

"Why do you all have nosebleeds?"

He was wondering, when he suddenly felt that the spiritual power in his body was dissipating, his body was chilling, and at the same time, a cold liquid flowed out of his nostrils.

Puzzled, he subconsciously wiped his nose and found that he was also bleeding.

"Poisoned? How can it be? We're in the gang, who dares to ......"

The strong man looked incredulous, and then he couldn't sit still, and fell straight down.

"It's ...... Break...... Scattered ...... How...... Will ......"

He was desperate, incredulous, and puzzled, who poisoned himself and others?

Because as far as he knows, although the Breaking Life Scatter is powerful, it must be taken orally.

Although this kind of poison is powerful, in fact, a real third-rate master, as long as he is experienced, can be distinguished at the moment of entry, and it is difficult to be hit.

It is also for this reason that even if this poison is terrifying, it actually has little effect, so it will be sold so cheaply.

Not to mention that they're bragging and farting right now, and they haven't eaten at all.

"Is it an enemy of the gang? Still is...... Inner ghost? ”

Or, some other newly offended enemy?

At the last moment, he inexplicably thought of the young man who had been forcibly charged two rounds of protection money by him before.

"I offended him alone today...... Don't...... The man was poisonous...... Division? I...... Repentance......"

It's a pity that he never had a chance to regret it again, and his consciousness sank into darkness completely, and he could never wake up again.
