Around, the brothers from the C13 task force roared in unison, and the scene immediately stopped Qiao Lao Er and his horses.

Qiao Lao Er looked left and right, and said inwardly: "The newcomer, amazing, don't think that you can't take Lao Tzu in your eyes now that there are many people!"

I believe Lao Wu also told you who my brother is, I came to inform you again, and I will take out one-tenth of the monthly remuneration in the future, and you and I will be fine, if not...... That's not enough for you! ”

Zhou Yu turned around and looked directly at the second Qiao, raised his head slightly and said: "We don't want to make trouble, we just want to make money and work here in peace, if you want peace, we welcome it, but if you want to share our salary, sorry, it is absolutely impossible." ”

Qiao Lao Er didn't expect Zhou Yu to reject him in front of so many people, breaking the rules he had set up in the past two years.

If Zhou Yu can rely on the large number of people today and not pay the so-called protection fee, then other laborers will also follow suit, and he can't explain it when the eldest brother asks.

"Good boy, you've got a kind! I hope you can remember your own words, we'll see! ”

Qiao Laoer, who was a good man and didn't eat the losses in front of him, took his four or five horses and fled in disgrace under the angry eyes of the C13 Chinese workers.

"Mr. Zhou, who is that guy? And make us pay? ”

Now the financial steward of C13 is Lu Xiucai, and the remuneration that everyone received on the battlefield and the reward money that Williams privately sent to them afterwards were all placed in Xiucai, and he established a ledger for everyone.

Zhou Yu also did this to facilitate management, he would keep everyone's money together, and if someone died in battle, his money would be divided separately to set up a pension fund.

Zhou Yu thought that the money would be compensated to the families of the Chinese laborers who died in the war later, and if the deceased belonged to the careless kind, then his inheritance would be used to take care of the disabled brothers.

It is also because of this that Lu Xiucai now pays special attention to the words related to "money".

"The head snake here is called Qiao Lao Er, he has an elder brother who is in a local gang, and all newcomers who come in must give him one-tenth of their remuneration as protection money.

I rejected it once just now, and now it's coming again, although he sees that there are many of us and chooses to forbear, but I estimate that a large part of the money he collected was handed over to the brother of the gang, and this trouble will come to the door in the future.

Let the brothers pay more attention, try not to have conflicts with others, quarrels, and do not act alone if it is not necessary, after all, we are not familiar with each other. ”

"Okay Mr. Zhou, I see, I suggest that we leave a few brothers to guard our things at all times to prevent them from being coveted by those scheming guys."

Zhou Yu nodded, it was indeed inconvenient for them to bring so much money, as well as the ammunition and firearms that they quietly brought back from the battlefield.

It's a pity that the guy Willemus hasn't returned to China yet, and it shouldn't be difficult to rent a warehouse outside through his connections, but at this stage, he can only send people to guard it twenty-four hours a day, as Xiucai said.

Qiao Laoer, who was driven away by the C13 Chinese workers, had a gloomy face, and several people walked out of the No. 04 workshop quickly.

"...... Those guys turned out to be a gang, no, I have to tell my big brother about this right away, the new group of 100 people is still like this...... If they are not separated, it is not certain who will have the final say in this Chinese labor camp in the future!

You, go say hello to all of us, and keep an eye on these guys! You, look for Lao Wu from the side, or directly find Master George to probe the tone, see what this group of people is, whether there is any background and background, I will immediately go to my eldest brother and act separately! ”

"Okay second master!"

Several horses scattered at the order of Qiao Lao Er, while the latter himself lowered his hat and walked to the entrance of the Chinese workers' camp, and exchanged eyebrows with a brown-haired, blue-eyed and slightly crooked local overseer, and then swaggered out of the Chinese workers' gathering area under the gaze of the other party.

It stands to reason that this is resolutely not allowed in the Chinese Workers' Zone, and they are forbidden to enter and leave other areas except the Chinese's Workers' Zone, to go to the toilets of locals, and to enter a series of places such as local restaurants, cafes, and hotels.

Of course, there is an exception to everything, and the eldest brother of Qiao Lao Er, relying on his ability to fight bravely, was favored by the local gangster Clay brothers and joined his group.

These two brothers are underground boxers, they are also very capable of fighting, and they have a cruel temperament and have no bottom line in doing things.

They soon entangled a gang of thugs to annex and evict gangs large and small in the East End of London, and until now they have formed a situation of their dominance.

Now there is only one small gang in the entire East End called the Scorpion Gang, which is still struggling.

Qiao Lao Er raised his collar and lowered the brim of his hat, and walked around the corner where there were few people.

After a while, he turned to a building with a bar sign in the East End, went deep into the alley, stood in front of an iron gate with no signs, and raised his hand and knocked on the small window above.

The sound of his tapping was long and short, and when he finished knocking, he waited in place with his hands in his pockets.

After waiting for about ten breaths, the small window on the iron door creaked open, and a stinky face with a red rosacea looked out of the window.

"Who?" The man asked impatiently.

"It's me, Qiao's second brother, Qiao's younger brother."

Qiao Lao Er explained with a smile at the man in broken English.

"What's the matter?"

When the other party heard his identity, his attitude did not ease much.

The smile on Qiao Er's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to get angry, and hurriedly explained: "I went to my eldest brother and reported to him the situation in the Huagong camp, we have a new group of people there, and they refuse to pay us protection money!" ”

"What? And what's going on? You wait. ”

The man closed the window, and there was a creaking sound behind the iron door, and I don't know how many locks he opened, and the iron door was finally pushed open from the inside.

The drunken-nosed and sleepy-eyed guy poked his head out and looked left and right, stretched out his hand, and let Qiao Lao Er quickly enter the door, and then closed the iron door.

Behind the iron gate is a long, deep passage, flanked by gas lamps that sway from side to side.

Obviously, it was not the first time that Qiao Lao Er had come here, and he followed the rosacea man through the passage and stood in front of another door.

"You go in, they're all inside."

Rosacea opened the door at the end, and he stayed outside, letting Qiao Lao Er enter alone.

When Qiao Lao Er stepped into the iron gate at the end of the passage, the whole world changed, and a noisy heat mixed with the smell of tobacco and alcohol rushed towards him.
