I saw that the gate of the Xinghuang Gang was crowded, and the entire gate of the Xinghuang Gang was surrounded by water, and people with yellow complexions and anxious faces looked at the gate from time to time, and whenever they saw that the gate was closed, their faces showed a look of disappointment.

Finally, I don't know how long later, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, "The door is open!

Hearing this, everyone looked at the gate, only to see the vermilion gate slowly open, and the first to walk out were Chen Shangfa and Wu Pengnian.

I saw that the two of them were carrying a team of black-clothed guards, their faces were solemn, and a majestic aura suddenly came to their faces, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet because of this iron-blooded military might.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Li Changsheng's not sturdy figure slowly walked out, looking at the people gathered in front of the gate, but he laughed, clasped his fists and said: "I didn't expect so many villagers and elders to come today, Li is ashamed to be it, folks, Li Changsheng is polite here." ”

Hearing this, the originally quiet scene suddenly felt as if someone had pressed the start button, and everyone returned the salute one after another, "Deputy Gang Leader Li is polite." ”

Before Li Changsheng could say a few words of greeting with everyone present, he saw a young man in his early twenties, pounced, rushed out of the crowd, knelt down towards Li Changsheng, and begged: "Deputy Gang Leader Li, please, please accept our protection money, if we continue like this, we really have no way to live." While pleading, the young man took out a few dirty copper coins from his arms and held them to Li Changsheng with both hands.

Immediately afterwards, others followed suit, and many of them knelt down with the young man, took out more or less copper coins from their arms, and begged repeatedly: "Deputy Gang Leader Li, please accept our protection fee, we are willing to pay the protection fee to the Xinghuang Gang, please accept it." ”

"Yes, take it, please take it. ”

The onlookers, seeing such a scene, couldn't help but be amazed, when, this gang that collects protection money, can actually mix to such a point, if you don't witness it with your own eyes, who can believe that this is a gang, I don't know, I thought it was a living Bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Li Changsheng with admiration, being able to turn a gang like this, Li Changsheng is also a talent.

Not to mention what this group of onlookers were thinking, Li Changsheng saw the people kneeling on the ground, but his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly helped him, "Fellow villagers, what are you doing here, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Saying that, Li Changchang sighed and said: "It's not that our Xinghuang Gang is unwilling to collect your protection fees, it's true, your life is not easy, and you can't afford the protection fees of our Xinghuang Gang, I can't ignore your lives for the sake of this money, you folks are willing to believe in my Xinghuang Gang, it's a blessing for me Li, but, but I really can't make it worse for you." “

Seeing that Li Changsheng insisted on refusing, this group of people panicked even more, if the Xinghuang Gang couldn't collect their protection money, the group of ruffians and hooligans knew about it, and they didn't even intensify their persecution of them, and suddenly, I saw everyone kowtowing to Li Changsheng continuously, "Deputy Gang Leader Li, please, please just collect our protection money, please, without your Xinghuang Gang, we will not be able to live sooner or later, please." “

"Please, be merciful, please. “

"This, this. Seeing this scene, Li Changsheng became more and more embarrassed, looking at everyone as if he was a little at a loss, and after a while, he finally made up his mind, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, I have something to say, and please calm down first." “

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly shut down, looked at Li Changsheng expectantly, and saw Li Changsheng say: "That's it, what about the protection fee, I can't collect everyone anyway, it's not that I, Li Changsheng, is ruthless, it's that everyone really doesn't have much money, to put it mildly, I'm willing to accept it, and most of you can't take it out." “

"However, I, Li Changsheng, can't bear to see you so sad, let's do it, speaking of which, since the establishment of our Xinghuang Gang, there has always been an idea, in addition to the inner hall, but also to establish their own outer hall, originally, this matter will have to be prepared for a period of time before it can be put into practice, and now that you are so difficult, I will implement it in advance to see if it is feasible. “

"If you are willing, you can join the outer hall of our Xinghuang Gang and become the outer hall of our Xinghuang Gang, and only need to contribute a small part of the gang fee every month as a contribution to the gang. “

"Of course, I know that when you hear this, you may have questions, what is the difference between this so-called help fee and protection fee, and whether it is a protection fee under the name of a coincidental name. Here I will explain to you the same, the protection fee is that our Xinghuang Gang is employed by you to protect your property, you pay, I contribute, fair trade. “

"And the help fee is different, the help fee is a contribution to the construction of the gang, not only that, the protection fee, in the end is an outsider, but the help fee is different, pay the help fee, is a member of the gang, what is the matter, the gang will not sit idly by, encounter difficulties, the gang will also help, gang members, also need to help each other. “

"Of course, with benefits, naturally there must be pay, not to say, you can pay the gang fee, gang construction, need everyone's joint efforts, if you really want to join the Xinghuang Gang, the Xinghuang Gang is also willing to shelter you, but there is one point, once you become a member of my Xinghuang Gang, you must obey the gang's orders in the future, everything is in accordance with the will of the gang, violators will be dealt with by the gang rules, and once you join, unless there are special circumstances, you cannot quit the gang for life. “

"This is the best solution I can come up with for everyone, if you want, go to our Xinghuang Gang Elder Wu to register, join the outer hall of the Xinghuang Gang, and then someone will notify you to enter the gang and participate in the construction of the gang, if you don't want to, just leave on your own, Li still has something to do, so I won't talk to you more, and say goodbye." With that, Li Changsheng turned around and walked towards the gate of the Xinghuang Gang.

"Deputy Gang Leader Li, wait, wait, what kind of outward gang does this mean?"

"Yes, you have to obey the gang's order, what kind of order, can't we refuse to be traitors?"

"Deputy Gang Leader ...... Li"

"Deputy Gang Leader ...... Li"
