Liu Ming pushed Lei Ren's hand away and sat back angrily.
Lei Ren made an innocent gesture towards Shang Yueying and asked the driver: "Master, what happened ahead?"
The driver said to Lei Ren: "A few people blocked the road and the car couldn't pass."
"Oh, that's a bad thing. This place is still more than twenty kilometers away from the ghost city!" Lei Ren shook his head.
The driver nodded and said: "No!"
Shang Yueying muttered: "Master, get out of the car and ask them why they blocked the road and wouldn't let us pass."
"No need to ask. I must have planted this tree and driven this road. If you don't pay the money to buy the road, you will definitely not be able to get through." Lei Ren said with a slight smile, "I have encountered this situation before."
"Humph, I don't believe they dare to be so bold and dare to extort money in broad daylight." Liu Ming snorted unconvinced.
Lei Ren pretended not to hear Liu Ming's words and leaned on his seat with his eyes closed and fell asleep. However, the driver who went to inquire about the situation quickly came back and reported to Shang Yueying: "Mr. Shang, those people are a group of local farmers.
, it is said that they paid for the construction of this road, but the state has not provided them with subsidies, so they block the road every now and then and make passing drivers pay toll."
Shang Yueying frowned slightly, but he didn't expect that it was the same as Lei Ren said.
Liu Ming glanced at Lei Ren and shouted loudly: "If they give up like this, don't the national police care? Do they still have laws in their eyes?"
Lei Ren smiled disdainfully, but did not say anything. What Liu Ming said was completely scholarly.
The driver shook his head and said: "Care? How to care? They are all old people in their 70s and 80s. Do you want to arrest them and shoot them, or do you want them to be arrested and imprisoned? What if they die? Should the government take responsibility and bring them to justice?"
Do the team leaders still want their black hats?"
"Besides, they don't do this every day. When the law enforcement agencies come, they run away, and as soon as the law enforcement agencies leave, they come out. In short, it's not that the government doesn't want to solve it, but that it can't solve it at all," the driver continued to explain.
road.
Shang Yueying looked in the direction of the thunder blade, frowned and asked, "What should we do?"
Lei Ren said calmly: "Of course we can avoid disaster by losing money. Give them the money and let them let us go."
"No!" Liu Ming immediately stopped him, "You are helping the tyrants do evil. I will never allow them to be lawless."
Lei Ren shrugged, glanced at Liu Ming with an idiot look, and said lightly: "If you have the ability, go ahead!"
"Just go." Liu Ming jumped out of the car as if he was angry, intending to negotiate with those people.
Lei Ren shrugged towards Shang Yueying, then leaned on his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing Lei Ren lying there indifferently, Shang Yueying suddenly became angry and hummed in his heart as if he was angry: "Don't think that you are the only one who can do it, so I just won't do what you say."
Shang Yueying hesitated for a moment, then stood up from his seat and followed.
When Bai Lin saw Shang Yueying get out of the car, she was about to ask Lei Ren to accompany her, but when she saw Lei Ren fell asleep, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and she shouted to Zhao Bao and Chen Guo: "You two are following
I'll go down and have a look."
Zhao Bao and Chen Guo stood up from their seats and whispered to Lei Ren: "Brother Lei, we are going down."
Lei Ren slowly opened his eyes and told the two of them: "Don't fight with those people. Just protect Mr. Shang and Assistant Bai. If they don't want much money, let Mr. Shang give it to them."
, we heroes will not suffer immediate losses."
"Brother Lei, I understand." Zhao Bao got Lei Ren's instruction and followed Bai Lin out of the car.
Just as Lei Ren expected, Liu Ming, a nerd, went down to discuss the law with these villagers. As a result, they ignored him and pushed him to the ground and surrounded Shang Yueying.
After all, Shang Yueying had seen the big world. Facing the fierce and bandit-like villagers, she still kept calm. While letting Zhao Bao and Chen Guo help Liu Ming up from the ground, she said loudly: "I am the person in charge here.
, you send a representative to talk to me, you are talking so loudly that I can’t hear you clearly.”
The villagers hesitated for a while, and finally a seventy-year-old man walked over from the crowd and shouted domineeringly: "Girl, I am the village chief, and I am speaking to you on behalf of everyone. It is not difficult for us to do it for you, so we handed over the money."
, we will let you pass."
Shang Yueying asked: "How much?"
"This number! Even if it's less than one point, it won't work." The old man made a sign of "six" and said to Shang Yueying.
"Six thousand yuan? Why don't you go and grab it?" Zhao Bao suddenly said angrily.
"Six thousand yuan? I'm talking about sixty thousand yuan!" the village chief said coaxingly, "Just thinking about it with six thousand yuan, you really treat us like beggars!"
Sixty thousand yuan?
When Shang Yueying heard this number, she was immediately surprised and said angrily: "Is it too much?"
The village chief touched his white beard and snorted coldly: "This road was built by our village. The government hasn't spent a penny so far. What's wrong with us charging some tolls? The government has also collected tolls on roads."
Here’s the travel expenses!”
Shang Yueying was speechless. After being silent for a while, she said to the village chief: "Sixty thousand yuan is too much. We would rather put the car in reverse than pay so much money."
Just now, the village chief saw Shang Yueying dressed neatly, and then he raised the price. At this time, listening to Shang Yueying's tone, it seemed that the other party just thought the money was a bit much, and it was not that he was unwilling to pay. He immediately changed his words: "Sixty thousand is too much.
Then it’s fifty thousand, which is ten thousand cheaper.”
Shang Yueying said calmly: "If that's the case, then there's no need to talk. Come on, let's get in the car and back it up."
When the village chief saw this, he immediately stopped him and said, "Okay, I'll give you another discount, 40,000 yuan, no less."
Shang Yueying glanced at the village chief and said coldly: "I'll give you two thousand yuan at most!"
"Two thousand yuan? You really treat me like a beggar!" the village chief snorted dissatisfied, "The fixed price is 30,000 yuan. If it doesn't work, forget it!"
"The toll is 30,000 yuan. You think your road is paved with gold. We can't afford it. Let's go back and take another road. I don't believe I can't reach the ghost city area."
Seeing that the duck in his hand was about to fly away, the village chief quickly said to Shang Yueying: "Ten thousand, no more."
Shang Yueying did not stop, but Lei Ren got out of the car and shouted at the fucking village chief in front of him: "Are you fucking stupid? Have you ever seen a road maintenance fee of 10,000 yuan? You want money and you go crazy.
