Chapter 26: Catching Fast (4)
The wine and food were prepared quickly, and the proprietress of the restaurant, Wang Yan, tried to get close to Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan dealt with her and sent her away.
When Wang Li took the nine catchers upstairs, Wang Yan came up again and accompanied a group of catchers to drink and laugh, which was also very good at adjusting the atmosphere.
A group of catchers toasted Jiang Yuan one after another, and Jiang Yuan did not refuse to come.
Now his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and he doesn't have to worry about getting drunk at all.
The two people who had offended Jiang Yuan before were originally sitting on pins and needles, who would have thought that a passer-by who was randomly interrogated by the two of them would become their boss in the blink of an eye.
But after three rounds of drinking, seeing that Jiang Yuan did not have the slightest intention of blaming, and was kind, the two catchers slowly relaxed their hearts.
Such a group of catchers are drinking and chatting loudly here, and the diners on the second floor have already hurriedly checked out and left, for fear that these catchers will deliberately look for trouble and provoke themselves when they get drunk.
Wang Yan didn't care about this situation at all, she knew very well in her heart that she wanted to open a restaurant here now, and she couldn't take care of these quick catches.
On the contrary, she frequently approached Jiang Yuan and told some interesting anecdotes, which made Jiang Yuan laugh.
It had been less than an hour since everyone had been drinking, but an uninvited guest came.
There was only a group of men dressed in uniform black suits, which looked very fierce.
As the gang of men went upstairs, the catchers who were laughing loudly were silent, looking a little nervous.
The leader of the gang of men in black was dark-skinned and particularly strong, and he had a smile on his face, but it did not match the eagle's sharp and cold eyes.
I only heard this sturdy man clasping his fists at Jiang Yuan and said loudly:
"Jin Biao, president of the Caoyun Chamber of Commerce, meet Jiang Shichang!"
Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Li suspiciously, he didn't know what Jin Biao was, let alone his intention.
I only heard Wang Li lower his voice and explained to Jiang Yuan in a low voice:
"This Jin Biao is the president of the Caoyun Chamber of Commerce on the surface, but secretly he is the leader of the Giant Shark Gang entrenched in the docks, and it is rumored that he has the strength of the Tongli Realm. Brother Yuan, be careful, I'm afraid this person is not good. ”
Jiang Yuan wondered:
"What do you mean by that?"
Wang Li continued to lower his voice and said:
"Brother Yuan, don't you know, this person is ruthless, and he has been even more bold in the past two years, and the Giant Shark Gang under his command has at least more than ten lives on his back. Originally, we had set a monthly payment with him, but he never gave it. The previous suburban catcher was forced away by this guy. Even the brothers...... He is often humiliated by the Shark Gang. ”
Jiang Yuan nodded to show that he understood, and then he asked Jin Biao:
"Why did Chairman Kim come this time?"
Jin Biao clenched his fists again, and then said slowly:
"I heard that Jiang Shichang is dedicated to serving the people and taking public security in the suburbs as his own responsibility, and Jin is deeply admired! Jin is the president of the Caoyun Chamber of Commerce, so naturally he has to contribute to the public security in the suburbs. ”
Speaking of this, Jin Biao beckoned, only to see a man holding a brocade box and coming to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Wang Li, Wang Li hurriedly took the brocade box, opened it and saw that it was neatly filled with silver ingots.
Just listen to Jin Biao continue:
"The officials have made great contributions to the stability of our Yangcheng, and this little meaning is what the villagers use to reward you for your hard work. ”
Wang Li said to Jiang Yuan:
"This is the monthly tribute, I didn't expect this Jin Biao to give it today, and so much!"
There are at least three hundred taels of silver in the brocade box.
When they saw the shadow of this white flower, they couldn't help but whisper:
"It's still our brother Yuan's big face, this Jin Biao, who has never paid tribute, came to pay it today for the first time. ”
"Isn't it! The last time was a few years ago? I only remember that I had only paid thirty taels of silver, and I was so angry that the chief at that time turned pale. ”
"It seems that we have a good life this time, and with Brother Yuan's cover, we don't have to be angry with those guys in the Giant Shark Gang anymore!"
......
Jin Biao stood up and looked at everything with cold eyes, he didn't want to pay this money at all. But he got the news today, and today's newly appointed commander of the outskirts of the city turned out to be a martial artist in the Tongli realm.
At first, he thought he had heard fake news. In the entire Yang City, except for Gong Feng, who is a fast and fast commander, how can a martial artist in the Tongli realm be willing to come and be a fast catcher?
That Gong Feng was because he was an old subordinate of the county lieutenant and was ruthless, so he was willing to come to catch fast. Originally, the county lieutenant intended to let him be the head catcher, but Gong Feng liked to be unrestrained, so he became a horse fast chief who frequently went out to work.
And this kid named Jiang Yuan, could it be that he was kicked in the head by a donkey, and he didn't do a good job, but he even came to catch fast.
After repeated inquiries, Jin Biao finally determined that Jiang Yuan really had at least the strength of the Tongli Realm, and had also killed the bandit Wei Ba who was also entrenched in the Tongli Realm.
This made Jin Biao very passive, and after hesitating again and again, he was still unwilling to go against a martial artist with the same realm as himself, so he came to pay tribute for the first time.
Wang Yan, the beautiful woman sitting on the other side of Jiang Yuan, looked at Jiang Yuan with a very different look in her eyes at this time.
At first, looking at Jiang Yuan's weak scholarly appearance, I thought that Jiang Yuan might be a son-in-law who donated money, but I didn't expect that according to the current situation, Jiang Yuan's is far from being as simple as she imagined.
In this way, Wang Yan not only looked more eager, but also became more and more curious about Jiang Yuan.
But Jiang Yuan didn't know that everyone was thinking so much, so he asked Wang Li:
"In the past, what was the maximum amount of monthly tribute?"
Wang Li thought for a while and replied:
"At most...... It was when Yan Gudao was the head catcher, and the head of Yan was extremely powerful, and he overwhelmed the gangs in the city, and at the same time, it was also stipulated that each gang would pay tribute every month, and the giant shark gang would have to pay four hundred taels of silver every month. However, since Yan Zhutou left, everything has returned to the past, and it is even much worse than ......"
Jiang Yuan thought for a while, and then said loudly at Jin Biao:
"Why doesn't Chairman Jin pay four hundred taels according to the old system?
As soon as he said this, the entire second floor fell silent.
The group of catchers looked at Jiang Yuan with excitement and admiration, how many years, when have several suburban catchers been so tough in front of the people of the Giant Shark Gang?
The leader is not good, and they have not been humiliated by the Giant Shark Gang on weekdays. I didn't expect to finally meet a domineering boss today, which made them seem to be angry a lot.
And the gang members of the Giant Shark Gang were angry one by one, how could they have taken these catches in their eyes.
Now that the gang leader has come to pay tribute in person, he has already given enough face to the new chief. But he didn't expect this young new chief to toast without eating and drinking, and sit on the ground and raise the price, which is completely shameless.
The beautiful woman Wang Yan only felt that her heart was pounding, and she didn't know if it was because she was afraid that the two gangs would fight if they didn't agree with each other, or because of Jiang Yuan's domineering arrogance that made her excited.
Jin Biao's eyes jumped, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly:
"Jiang Shichang didn't know that the old system of four hundred taels was privately determined by Nayan Gudao when he was the head catcher, and it could not be used as the rule today. ”
Jiang Yuan smiled, then stood up and left his seat and came to Jin Biao:
"It's up to me which rule to follow. ”
Jiang Yuan said as he flattened the folds on Jin Biao's collar, and then patted him on the shoulder.
Although Jin Biao was furious, he still forcibly suppressed it, and Jiang Yuan still did all this on himself.
The Hunters and the Shark Gang were nervous, waiting for the leaders of both sides to give the order.
Jiang Yuan stared at Jin Biao's eyes and continued:
"I heard that Chairman Kim is very skilled, and it just so happens that I also like to practice martial arts. Why don't we take advantage of today's opportunity to have a discussion, I don't know what Chairman Kim thinks?"
Provocation, this is simply an unscrupulous provocation, Jin Biao only felt that his lungs were about to explode.
But he really couldn't figure out the depth of this Jiang Yuan's strength, even the bandit Wei Ba died in his hands, and his strength was not much different from that Wei Ba, if he really started to do it......
Jin Biao finally gave up his plan to do it, although he was sure that Jiang Yuan would not kill him, but if he lost, then he would lose face in the dock in the future.
In the end, Jin Biao glared at Jiang Yuan viciously and said in a cold voice:
"The remaining hundred taels, I will send someone to deliver them later. Jin is busy with affairs, so he quit!"
After finishing speaking, Jin Biao waved his sleeves and left downstairs with the gang.
Seeing Jin Biao leave like this, none of the catchers could react.
They thought there would be a fierce confrontation, but they didn't expect that Jin Biao, who has always been known for his ruthlessness, would be willing to suffer this loss today.
Jiang Yuan returned to his seat and said:
"Keep drinking, everybody!"
The catchers woke up like a dream, and cheered one after another, and the evil qi that had accumulated in their chests for many years finally came out comfortably this time.
The beautiful woman Wang Yan also became more and more enthusiastic, and frequently poured wine for Jiang Yuan, and a pair of beautiful eyes also sent autumn waves.
Jiang Yuan didn't take Jin Biao to heart, after all, the martial artists of the Tongli Realm were no longer a threat to him.
What's more, when he is newly appointed, these three fires should be burned, and they still have to be burned.
He handed over the brocade box to Wang Li to deal with, and a large part of the tribute had to be handed over to the head catcher Hong Kun, and a large part of the money received by Hong Kun had to be handed over to the county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant had to share the money with the county order. Only a small part of them were Jiang Yuan and the ten fast catchers.
Jiang Yuan didn't bother to intervene in the unspoken rules, so he simply handed them over to Wang Li to deal with.
