"It turns out it's still about collecting protection fees."
It seems that whether in ancient times or modern times, the development of these gangs must go through this stage.
However, Wei Zhuang was disgusted by this and asked with a frown, "Are you forced to pay this money?"
When the woman heard the word protection fee, she thought about it for a while before understanding it. She smiled and shook her head, and said: "There is no reason not to pay for doing business in Tianzhou Mansion. If you don't pay, there will be no one to protect you. There is no way." business man."
"But the eldest brother is a good person. She has only been here a few days, but she has made a rule to only charge us ten cents a month."
"Ten cents?" Wei Zhuang was stunned.
What is the concept of ten cents in Qianguo? You must know that this woman's bowl of noodles only costs three cents. The little wife collects ten cents a month, obviously she just wants to show off.
No wonder Yan Li from the Tian Gang was dissatisfied with the young woman.
"Madam boss, this Tianzhou Mansion is very special. Why are there so many gangs?"
Hearing Wei Zhuang's question, the landlady hesitated, then looked around again. When she saw no one there, she lowered her voice and explained to Wei Zhuang.
"Sir, my eldest brother is not allowed to talk about these things." The woman sat down opposite Wei Zhuang cautiously and said, "About thirty years ago, Tianzhou Mansion had its first gang, called the Digang."
"Later on, the local gangs became more and more powerful, and they also supported many small gangs, and their power gradually surpassed the government. Until five years ago, three very powerful people came to Tianzhou Mansion, established a Tian Gang, and followed The government colluded and it took two years to defeat the local gang."
After listening to the woman's explanation, Wei Zhuang nodded slowly.
"Heaven's help, earth's help..."
One is above and one is below, one is a new force and the other is a local snake.
Just from the names, you can tell that these two gangs are not going to deal with each other.
Wei Zhuang has only been in Tianzhou Mansion for three days, and now he understands the situation of Tianzhou Mansion clearly.
All in all, Tianzhou Mansion is dominated by gangs, and the government office is just a decoration here.
After eating the noodles, Wei Zhuang did not go back, but took a walk on the street.
There are many gangs here, but there is not much tension on the faces of the people. Compared with the fear of the people in Jing'an Prefecture, the people here are much more calm.
Wei Zhuang's heart sank.
This is not normal.
The fact that the people are calm does not mean that these gangs will not harm their interests. People just get used to their existence in the long process of being victimized. Over time, Tianzhou Mansion will become a time bomb.
After walking for a long time, Wei Zhuang didn't come back until after noon.
However, the alley was still deserted, and several stall owners looked sad as they looked at the pedestrians who were trying to avoid them.
At this time, the little woman walked out with a sullen face and a scar face. She first asked a few questions to the proprietress at the alley, and then the scar face rushed to the opposite side with a strong sense of oppression, and stretched out her hand to stop a passerby. people.
"What's going on with you? Why are you avoiding us?" Scarface's question was very direct.
The passerby was startled by his ferocious face, and said tremblingly: "Hero, this is what Master Liu Qi ordered. He won't let us pass by you."
"What!" Scarface was full of anger, "God damn Liu Laoqi!"
Wei Zhuang also walked up to him and asked, "Who is Liu Laoqi?"
When Scarface saw Wei Zhuang, most of his anger disappeared immediately, and he quickly replied: "Young master, I don't know. That Liu Laoqi is Yan Li's brother-in-law from the Tian Gang. He often caused trouble for us in the past. The eldest brother came here a few days ago." I beat him up, but who would have thought that just a few days after he stopped, he is now back to stir up trouble!"
After saying that, Scarface wanted to report to Zhou Ziqing, but when he turned around, he found that Zhou Ziqing had disappeared.
He scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "Hey, where is the big brother?"
"Oh." Wei Zhuang sighed helplessly, "It's time to go back. You take me to find her."
Scarface didn't think much, and walked into the alley with Wei Zhuang, and then knocked on Zhou Ziqing's courtyard door.
Zhou Ziqing asked who he was in the hospital. Scarface looked at Wei Zhuang, but Wei Zhuang said nothing.
"It's me, big brother. I've already asked about the matter at the alley."
Hearing Scarface's voice, Zhou Ziqing opened the door.
Wei Zhuang saw the opportunity and went directly into her yard.
Scarface was also startled, and hurriedly waved to him at the door: "Master, come out quickly, you can't enter Big Brother's yard!"
Zhou Ziqing was also stunned and subconsciously wanted to run out.
"I have something to do with your big brother, please go back first."
With that said, Wei Zhuang grabbed Zhou Ziqing's wrist and dragged her into the courtyard, turned around and closed the door.
Scarface was shocked outside the door...
Holy shit.
The young master entered the eldest brother's yard.
How could he enter Big Brother's yard?
Why didn't Big Brother whip him?
Could it be...
…
In the yard, Wei Zhuang looked at Zhou Ziqing, who was standing in the corner, as stiff as a robot, and felt dumbfounded.
"Why are you always avoiding me?"
"I don't!"
"I saw you outside just now, and you disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"I am sleepy!"
Wei Zhuang looked at him suspiciously, and then said: "Then you were in my room before, why were you running away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ziqing's face turned red, and then the blush spread from his face to all sides.
Wei Zhuang looked a little dazed and opened his mouth wide without realizing it.
He has never seen such a red face, redder than the Big Apple, and looks very hot.
The next moment, the little woman's voice trembled when she spoke, "Hunjun...you are so slanderous!"
Wei Zhuang was amused by her behavior.
Wei Zhuang has always described the little wife as: irritable, arrogant, straightforward, and a little rude...
But there is only one word to describe the little lady today - cute.
Like an angry tiger cub.
Wei Zhuang couldn't help but feel a bit of bad taste. At the same time, his heart moved, "Are you shy?"
After saying this, he was ready to take a good look at the little woman's "shy" face.
But the next second.
Without warning, the little woman turned into a "robot" again. This time she walked sideways, like a crab.
Then he moved to the door of the main room, suddenly returned to normal, and ducked in.
Snapped!
The door is closed.
Wei Zhuang stayed there for a while, then walked up and knocked on the door.
"Little madam, why are you hiding again?"
On the other end, the little woman replied: "I'm not here, you go back!"
Wei Zhuang wiped his sweat and said, "The shadow of your body is revealed."
…
"It's useless to squat down!"
Wei Zhuang held his forehead, smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a solution for you to hide all the time. Could it be that we won't see each other for the rest of our lives?"
"Um!"
After a while, Wei Zhuang felt a headache.
This little lady is so stubborn.
Wei Zhuang comforted him: "Ziqing, I won't say anything anymore. Can you please open the door?"
Zhou Ziqing said nothing, but his figure was still behind the door.
Helpless, he could only say: "If you don't come out, the vendors in the alley will be in big trouble!"
