Lang Fei said with some differences, "This is the otherworldly version of the protection fee, I really didn't expect to be able to see it here, it's really interesting." ”

Xiao Shi was a little curious and said, "Collecting protection money, what do you mean by collecting protection money?"

Lang Fei explained lightly and said, "This protection fee is that these villagers give money to this bandit leader, and he guarantees their safety." ”

Xiao Shi was stunned and said, "Then can this bandit leader believe what he says?"

Lang Fei said lightly: "Looking at their current appearance, they should be very credible." If it weren't for the impediment, I'm afraid the villagers would have been so frightened that they fell to their knees, but look at the villagers who were afraid. ”

Xiao Shi frowned, looked at the villagers carefully, nodded and said, "It's true, these villagers don't seem to be too scared. ”

At this time, the village chief saw the anger of Liang Da Boss, and said with a little fear, "Big boss, you must be considerate, this year's harvest is not too good, the villagers can't come up with so much money, you can see if you can ask for less, if the harvest is good next year, we will give you more." ”

Liang Da snorted and said, "Are you taking me for a fool, you don't go out to inquire about me when Liang Ying has gone back on his word, I said that I will pay this money this year, and he will pay so much money, do you really think I don't know how much income your entire village has?"

The village chief sighed, knowing that there was no relief in the matter, so he had to say helplessly, "Big boss, let's tell you the truth, all our front desks have been stolen by someone, even if you kill us, we can't come up with so much money." ”

Liang Ying said angrily, "Are you really stupid for me, do you think I don't know, and I was stolen, there are no thieves in your village at all, do you think I don't know? I think you really don't want to pay this money, right, well, if there is anything in your village from now on, then you will blame yourself." ”

One of the teenage children ran out and said loudly, "Don't embarrass the village chief and grandfather anymore, all the money in the village has been used to treat my mother, if it weren't for the money, my mother would have died, so now there is not so much money in the village at all." ”

One of the bandits whispered something in Liang Ying's ear, and after Liang Ying said something quickly, Liang Ying frowned instantly, but he didn't have any anger at this time. Obviously, what the kid said was clearly right.

Liang Ying said embarrassedly, "Although I sympathize with you, but the rules are the rules, you can't afford to pay the money, then in the next year, if your village is brought in by other bandits, it can only be regarded as your bad luck, if there are no other bandits, then even if you are lucky, I will definitely continue to protect you when I get the money together next year." ”

Xiao Shi was slightly surprised and said, "Brother Fei, this bandit is quite interesting. For their sake, I'm not going to kill them today. ”

Lang Fei nodded and said, "What you said is right, these bandits are not bad, they look fierce, but they are actually just some poor people, and they can be considered good bandits if they can not deceive the good." ”

Seeing that those bandits were about to leave here, Lang Fei said loudly, "Liang Da is in charge, please stay first, there is a deal at home, I want to talk to you, I don't know if you want to." ”

Liang Ying turned his head and saw Lang Fei frowning, and said to the people around him, "Who is this person, why haven't you seen it in this village before?"

All the bandits around him shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen this person at all, and one of the bandits said, "This person must be a tourist passing through this place." Looking at his fine skin and tender meat, most of them are scholars. ”

Liang Ying nodded, and said to Lang Fei, "Boy, you said you want to have a deal, then what kind of deal do you say?"

Lang Fei said lightly: "The deal I want to talk about is how much money do you have to charge these villagers a year to protect their safety?"

Liang Ying didn't think about it, and said directly, "I only need 50 taels of silver in their village, but I really didn't expect that they didn't even earn 50 taels of silver this year, so I can't blame me?"

Lang Fei was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that it was just for a mere 50 taels of silver, and these 50 taels of silver could actually allow these bandits to protect this village for a whole year. This was something he didn't expect.

Liang Ying looked at Lang Fei's puzzled expression, and said lightly, "Uncle, I will never do those things that oppress the people, these 50 taels of silver, just to buy them a peace, it is definitely worth it, and I collect different money according to the different earning capacity of each village, originally called their village's earning ability, these 50 taels of silver are easy for them." ”

The village chief sighed and said, "If it were left in previous years, these 50 taels of silver would really not be a big deal for us, but this year we have not received much money, so that even if we see a doctor, we can only make up to help Xiaopang call his mother's illness cured." ”

Lang Fei nodded, and said to Liang Ying, "I see that you are also loyal people, why don't you do this, I will give you some money, and your duty is to protect the surrounding villages, what do you think?"

Liang Ying frowned slightly, and said, "Boy, do you know how many villages there are around? Do you know how much money they give me every year? Just how much money you can give me, I think you are still obedient, get out of here quickly." ”

Lang Fei said lightly, "Although I don't know how many villages there are around, I think that you shouldn't be able to take care of the villages that are too far away, and what you should take care of is just these surrounding villages, and you can afford to raise so many brothers, I think your income is probably only more than a thousand taels of silver." ”

Liang Ying frowned slightly, and said, "You are right, we can indeed collect more than 1,000 taels of silver here every year, but how much can you take out of these 1,000 taels of silver." ”

Lang Fei casually took out a silver ticket and threw it to Liang Ying, and said lightly: "This is 100,000 taels of silver, I think it should allow you to protect these villagers for more than ten years." ”

Liang Ying nodded and said, "Yes, these 100,000 taels of silver can protect these villages for at least forty or fifty years, without any problem." But don't you know? We are bandits and bandits, aren't you afraid that I will continue to collect money from these villagers if I am greedy for your 100,000 taels of silver?"
