Chapter 35 Collection of Protection Fees
After a month of bleak management, Fenghualou gradually got on track. Although the restaurant was not full, everyone was busy!
Ye Chen was practicing boxing and fighting with everyone in the front yard. In the past month, Anjianghui's twenty Vajras did nothing, and he only practiced boxing, eating, and sleeping in the yard every day. Ye Chen knew in his heart that everyone had been suffocating recently. If he didn't find something to do, he might have something wrong!
Now those who know about Anjianghui are the people in the courtyard, including Huangfu Leng, Ying Qi and Qin Xiaoqin. The people outside don’t know what Anjianghui is doing at all, and even outsiders have never heard of this name. The first step Ye Chen has to do is to let Anjianghui emerge in the world, so that everyone in the world knows that there is such a gang organization.
Ye Chen called Wang Si and said, "You go and check which shops in this area pay the protection fee to the Black Snake Gang. We should take over these shops."
Wang Si smiled and said, "Gangmaster, don't check this, I know. All the casinos, brothels, restaurants, shops, etc. in the west of the city are counted as one, and they all pay the protection fee."
Chen Bing, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Be good, this protection fee is really amazing to receive in a month. Let's not talk about it, there are hundreds of shops of all sizes in total."
Zou Hu widened his eyes and said, "Ye Chen, oh no, gang leader, then we'll send it in the future."
Ye Chen looked at them and said, "From the future, you can just call me Ye Chen or Chenzi. There is no need to call me the gang leader, it sounds disgusting."
Chen Bing smiled and said, "That won't work. You have to scream, or you have to scream, otherwise the people below will not be respectful after a long time."
Zou Hu echoed: "Yes, since he is the leader of a gang, he is still a bit respectful."
Wang Si also said: "Gangmaster, I think they are right."
Ye Chen had no choice, but the boss called him a little disgusted, so he said, "Let's change his words in the future!"
Everyone clasped their fists and said in unison: "Greetings to the boss, the boss is mighty..."
Ye Chen interrupted everyone and said, "Zou Hu, you will be responsible for the twenty kings in the future. You will now divide them into two teams. One team will continue to train according to the barracks standards at home, and the other team will go out with me to collect protection fees!"
Zou Hu smiled and said, "Okay." Then he turned to King Kong and said, "According to the team just now, the first team stayed at home, and the second team followed me to collect protection fees."
Ye Chen and his people started visiting each family from the east of Cuihe River. Basically, after entering, they said: "We are from the Anjiang Association. From now on, we will pay the protection fee of the Black Snake Gang to me as much as possible." Some small shops do not want to make a big deal that affects their small business, and then they are like paying the protection fee for this month. However, Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "There will be collected regularly at the end of each month, and there will be no charges for the rest of the time." The owner of the small shop did not hand over the silver in his hand.
Zou Hu was a little confused about Ye Chen's actions. If you don't have money, is it because the boss thinks it's too little?
Ye Chen was ruthless about those brothels and casinos. Several brothels and casinos all raised many thugs. When Ye Chen reported to his house, the boss actually asked the thugs to drive Ye Chen and others out, but the top ten King Kongs behind Ye Chen were not something that ordinary thugs could shake.
After an afternoon of tossing, Ye Chen and his party had visited more than half of the businesses by the Cui River. Ye Chen looked at everyone who was very excited at first, but now
After being like eggplant beaten with frost, it wilted. He pointed to the pawnshop in front of him and said, "We'll go back to drink after we go to this house." When everyone heard that the relationship was good, everyone immediately became very energetic.
Ye Chen turned to look at Chen Bing and said, "Second Boss, go, I've been talking all the way."
Chen Bing rolled up his sleeves and walked inside. Unexpectedly, Chen Bing was struck by four strong men in a while. Zou Hu said, "It seems that he has encountered a tough guy." Then he waved his hand and the top ten kings behind him entered one after another. After hearing the sound of punching and kicking from the pawnshop, Hu Jie poked his head out and said, "Boss, it's time to solve it, you can come in."
After Ye Chen entered, he found six or seven big men lying in the middle. Ye Chen looked at the accountant in the pawnshop fence and said, "Are you the boss here?"
The accountant shook his head.
Ye Chen asked again: "Where is your boss, please call him out. We are from the Xi'an Jianghui in the city, and I will collect your protection fee from now on."
Suddenly, a man lying on the ground laughed out loud and said, "Boy, do you know who opened this pawnshop?"
Ye Chen walked up to him and squatted down, frowned and asked, "Who did it? Come and listen."
The man slowly sat up and said, "Have you heard of Double Knife? This pawn shop is the territory of our Double Knife boss Gu Weilong. Boy, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise you can't leave even if you want to."
Zou Hu stepped forward and slapped the man, but he kept cursing in his mouth. This action completely annoyed everyone and beat him again. When Ye Chen looked at him again, he had already changed his appearance, became fatter and his skin became redder.
Ye Chen looked at the pig head and asked, "Isn't this Xu Jing's territory? Xu Jing has been trampled to death for a few months, but why has it become your boss Gu Weilong's territory?"
The man dared not act rashly anymore and said obediently: "After Xu Jing of the Black Snake Gang died, the Black Snake Gang also dispersed. Some of the people ran to our Double Sword Club. In order to show their sincerity, they also brought a lot of land deeds to make part of Xu Jing's property fall into our Brother Long's hands. We were just to show Brother Long's place."
Ye Chen pointed to the accountant and asked, "He is also from your Double Knife?"
The man replied, "No, he turned out to be the accountant arranged by Xu Jing here. After we took over, there was no suitable person, so he was not replaced."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "When you go back, tell you Brother Long, that Anjiang in the west of our city will take over the territory of the Black Snake Gang, and he will be better off not setting foot in the west of our city, otherwise don't blame me for taking down your two swords in the north of the city together." After that, Ye Chen kicked him and asked him to go back to report the news.
After a few people left the pawnshop, Ye Chen took them directly back to the front yard of Fenghua Building, and ordered people to serve wine and food, and everyone started to drink and chat. During the meal, Wang Si whispered to Ye Chen: "Boss, there are more than 100 people under the Shuangdao Society, and we only have these 20 people. What should we do if they come to the door?"
Ye Chen smiled and asked back, "Who knows where our Anjiang will be?"
Wang Si suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Boss, you are great." He said, "Boss, I respect you. I know you think I am from the Inspectorate Department, and there is always some barriers to me, but I don't blame you.
, please don’t blame me, I know what to say and what not to say.”
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, our goals are all the same, and I believe your boss Qin Xiaoqin will not cheat me. Wang Si nodded and drank the wine in his hand.
After drinking with everyone, Ye Chen came to the table at the edge alone and stood still, looking at the five people on the table and said, "It has been almost a month since you came to me, and I have basically never said anything to you. The brothers below are all very surprised about your identities. What's ridiculous is that I, the boss, don't know, I only know that you came from the imperial city. But no matter what, I have to know your name, otherwise I will be too frustrated."
The middle-aged man who looked a little thin and weak stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Please don't blame me, the five of me have no names, only code names."
Ye Chen suddenly remembered the punishment he had given to them by the teaching teacher in the village. If anyone did not listen to his teacher's teaching and answer questions in class, he would leave behind the copying of rare characters after school. At that time, he and Chen Bing always whispered and did not attend classes seriously, so they also copied a lot of rare characters, and some of them were better. He still remembered them vividly.
Ye Chen dipped his fingers into wine and wrote five words on the table: "Chi, Mei, Wu, Liang, Kui". Looking at these five words, the five men smiled slightly. For some reason, the five of them liked these words. Ye Chen looked at them and said, "The names are derived from parents and elders, and I dare not do them for them. If you don't dislike them, you can use these words to replace them!"
The five people immediately stood up, picked up the wine and fucked the cup with Ye Chen. The man in charge said, "From now on, we will be the five ghosts of Anjiang, the ghosts and monsters."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It is a blessing for me to win several powerful generals." After that, he drank it all with everyone.
In the ancient house in the south of the city, the boss of Gu Weilong, the double sword association, looked at the six or seven people lying on the ground in front of him, and hated him so much that he was not as good as others. If he lost his face, what is the most important thing to do? Face!
Gu Weilong was about fifty years old, but others looked very angry, not like a man over fifty years old. He listened to one of the men reporting on Ye Chen and his men's various behaviors, and the more he listened, he became more angry. He also said that An Jiang would take over the territory of the Black Snake Gang, and he didn't take their double swords seriously at all!
Gu Weilong called his subordinates and asked, "Where did Anjiang come out from? Why have you never heard of their name before?"
The people under my command looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them were stunned, not knowing where to start, because no one had heard of An Lihui!
Gu Weilong then took a few people away from the Gu House and visited a person he usually offered to him. He didn't have to stay at this critical moment.
But an hour later, Gu Weilong returned to the ancient house and found nothing. The man didn't know where An Lihui came from, nor did he know when it was established, and he didn't hear of any new gang in the Neighbor's Dao!
He looked at his subordinates and ordered: "From tomorrow, all my business in the west of the city must be sent to more than ten people to take care of. When you meet these people, come back and report immediately. In addition, let someone go out to check if there are any strangers in the city recently. If so, don't disturb them and notify me in time. I don't believe it and can't find them." Everyone took the order and left.
In the courtyard, Ye Chen kept sneezing, and Chen Bing smiled and said, "I guess someone is scolding you behind your back!"
