At dusk, the second batch of goods was pulled to the backyard.
According to the regulations of the market, business must be closed before dark. There will be errors and confusion in trading at night. This rule is correct.
Zhang Yi asked the clerks to hang up the wooden signs for rest and prepare to count the income. He and Xiao Han talked in the tea room.
At this moment, five burly men came to the door of the shop. They were wearing black clothes on the outside and white clothes on the inside. Their sleeves were rolled up high, revealing dense tattoos.
"Who is the shopkeeper? Come out!" A big man in the lead shouted.
"The shopkeeper is not here. I am the store manager. If you have anything to say, please tell me." Qiao Dayou greeted him, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Are you the fucking store manager? What's your name?" the big man stared at Qiao Dayou fiercely and asked.
"My surname is Qiao, and my given name is Dayou." Qiao Dayou said, "Excuse me, what do you do for a living?"
"My surname is Qiao, are you stupid?" the big man said angrily.
"This friend, we are strangers to each other, and you cursed me when you came up. Isn't that right?" Qiao Dayou said angrily.
"Hey, don't you deserve a beating?" The big man stepped forward, rushed in front of Qiao Dayou, grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "You don't know that you have to pay protection fees for doing business in the territory of the Hong Gang?"
"What?"
Niu Ben and Shi Gandang came over upon hearing the sound. Niu Ben stopped pretending to be mute and shouted.
"What did you say?"
The big man realized something was wrong, and a strong young man came running over, a head taller than him, clenching his fists, and looking so angry that it was scary.
Quickly letting go of his hand, the big man took a few steps back and said calmly.
"Why, boy, have you never heard of the Hong Gang? Do you want to take action or something?"
Just do it, Niu Ben raised his fist to hit, and punched this guy to death.
Shi Gandang hurriedly grabbed Niu Ben's arm. The little fat man was still a smart person and knew not to kill people randomly in the city, as he would cause trouble.
"If you have something to say, please tell me," Shi Gandang said with a smile, "We just came here and have never heard of the Hong Gang. We only heard about the Salt Gang and the Horse Gang. We are from the Department Store Gang, hahaha. By the way, you Hong Gang
What kind of business do you do?"
"A bunch of fools!" The big man rolled his eyes in anger, "No matter what gang you are, you have to pay protection fees to the Hong Gang, do you understand? This area belongs to the Hong Gang, and I, the Hong Gang, are the boss in Jiyuan City!"
"What the hell!" Niu Ben shouted, "Isn't this Liu Kai's territory? How dare you gangsters get together and collect protection fees? Come on, let's see if I don't beat you to death!"
"Hey, why are you angry with the bird man?" Shi Gandang stopped Niu Run and prevented him from taking action. "We are here to do business, not to fight. You can fight if you want, and I won't fight back."
There are bandits in the mountains and gangs in the city, it's normal.
But these gang members had no idea who they were meeting.
The big man was so angry that what could a little fat man do? He hit him with a black tiger punch to the heart, but it was like hitting a wall, and he grinned in pain.
Shi Gandang laughed. With his strength, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary soldier when he was carried to Mopan City.
Someone ran to the teahouse to report, and Zhang Yi and Xiao Han came over.
"Hong Bang, protection money?" Zhang Yi understood immediately upon hearing this, "How to collect it?"
"Ten taels of gold a day." The big man didn't dare to take action. When he saw that Zhang Yi was the one in charge, he opened his mouth.
In fact, after observing it for a day, they knew it well.
"If you only have one tael of gold a day, you can still consider it," Zhang Yi frowned. "Go back and tell your boss that one tael is a lot. Take a step back and the world will be brighter."
"You are as big as the sea, but you are as tall as the sky!" The big man scolded, "You don't have to look for the boss, I will tell you now, if the three hundred brothers of the Hong Gang don't eat your family, they will be destroyed. If you don't take ten taels a day, they will be destroyed." Your store!”
It's too much.
"You can obviously walk back, but you have to crawl back, right?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"What the hell do you mean?" the big man asked in surprise.
What does it mean?
Zhang Yi’s brothers all know it.
Niu Ben, Shi Gandang, Xiao Han, Qiao Dayou and others rushed forward and knocked down the five Hong gang gangsters to the ground in a few seconds, kicking them off and breaking their legs.
Amidst the howls of ghosts and wolves, the five people moved on the ground like insects and left.
Zhang Yi originally wanted to settle the matter, but he knew that after the Hong Gang succeeded, beggars and other gangs would follow one after another, and there would be no end. Besides, street gangs often fight with each other, and the government usually turns a blind eye. What a big deal.
…
Close the store door and continue taking inventory of income.
About an hour later, more than a hundred people came on horseback. Seeing that the gate was open, they rushed directly into the courtyard.
Only then did Zhang Yi and others come out of the house and looked at these arrogant and arrogant guys with disdain.
"You are so brave, you dare to hurt the Hong Gang brothers," the leading man pulled out a long knife and shouted, "I will kill you!"
"Don't act like me, ask your boss to come out and speak." Xiao Han said calmly, holding a black wooden stick in his hand.
The gang members dispersed, and a middle-aged man with a cold face and a mustache slowly walked out, driving a tall horse on his hip.
Someone shouted, this is Zhao Tongtian, Uncle Zhao, the boss of the Hong Gang, known as the Iron-Armed Arhat.
"Okay, department store gang, you dare to hurt my brother on the first day you open the door," Zhao Tongtian sneered. He was wearing black clothes and a black robe with a high collar, looking like a huge black eagle, "You guys Are you here for business, or are you looking for trouble?"
"Boss Zhao," Zhang Yi took two steps forward calmly and said, "We are here to do business, not to fight. I have already promised your subordinates. I will give you one or two gold a day, so why bother to force them?" ?”
"One tael a day is enough to send the beggars away." Zhao Tongtian gritted his teeth and said, "You can force me to go out in person, which is considered a bit of skill. I don't think it's better than this, twenty taels a day, just do it if you can. , if you can’t do it, then die.”
He deceives people too much and leaves no way for them to survive.
Not to mention Niu Ben, even Shi Gandang was so angry that he couldn't control himself. The brothers waited for Zhang Yi's order and rushed forward to kill all these bad guys.
Zhang Yi is a person who must remain calm and restrained in all major events.
"Okay, then it's settled. Boss Zhao, this business can be done well." He suddenly smiled and turned around and said to Qiao Dayou, "Go and get thirty taels of gold. Twenty taels is today's protection fee. Ten taels are the protection fee for today." The second is the medical expenses for the injured."
Everyone was stunned.
Qiao Dayou obeyed the order, ran to get thirty taels of gold, and handed it to Zhao Tongtian.
Zhao Tongtian laughed wildly, just said something interesting, and led the people away.
Zhang Yi patted Xiao Han and said, "Look where he lives, but don't do anything. I will kill him myself."
Xiao Han nodded with a smile and followed him all the way.
Niu Ben and Shi Gandang were depressed to death, but now they understood that Yi Ge didn't want to do anything on the spot because he was afraid of leaving corpses on the ground that would be difficult to dispose of. Wouldn't it be better to let them die in their own lair?
Zhang Yi turned around and looked at the two brothers and said regretfully: "Tonight, I originally planned to take you to a restaurant for dinner."
Shi Gandang laughed and said, "Hey, what are we going to eat? I'm happy even if I don't eat, hahaha."
Niu Ben said happily: "That's right, what are we going to eat? We are here to do business, not to eat, hahaha."
Gangsters think they are awesome, but who knows when they meet someone they can't afford to offend.
