While yelling and cursing, the three of them rushed into the store. Judging from the meaning in their words, they probably saw that the boss's business has been good recently and wanted to extort more money.
These three people are gangsters from Danyang City, and after all, they are also undercover agents. In fact, 60% of the protection fee they collect has to be handed over to the police.
This is an unspoken rule in Danyang City. Even if this matter is brought to the government, it will only be ignored. Either give me money or stop doing business.
When the boss saw this, he quickly ran over with an apologetic smile on his face, stretched out his hand and took out the money. He just wants to do his business properly and doesn't want to cause trouble.
They can't afford to offend these people in front of them. If you are offended, don't even think about making a living here in the future.
Even if you are exploited, it is better than having no way to survive.
"Young Masters, don't...don't be angry, we will pay the money! We will pay..." He reached out and took out a pile of broken silver, which seemed to be about one tael.
Seeing the other party taking out the money, the three gangsters' eyes lit up with joy. After looking at each other, one of them said coldly: "This little money is not enough, today's protection fee will cost two taels of silver!"
When they saw the boss giving money happily, they probably felt that the boss had made a lot of money, so they immediately sat down and raised the price.
When the boss heard this, he looked stunned. He looked at the three people in front of him blankly, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It suddenly rose to two taels. It took him two days of business to make up for it.
Just now he chose to compromise in order to settle the matter, but he never expected that the three people in front of him would go even further.
The landlady was so angry that she was shaking all over, and their son was also full of anger. He just had to fight the three people in front of him. That's not how you force people, right? There is no way for them to survive at all.
"You three gentlemen, the small shop can only earn one tael a day at most. You have to spend two taels of silver all at once. We have worked for two days in vain! Can you think of it as a convenience and order less? You have to leave some way for us to survive. !”
The boss said with a grimace and a pleading voice. He didn't dare to cause trouble, so he could only ask for kindness.
"Convenient! I've made it convenient for you. Who can make it convenient for me? Hurry up and get the money. If it's too late, I'll destroy your store and you won't have to do business in the future!" The gangsters were about to rush in.
When the boss's family saw this, they were so frightened that they stopped him repeatedly. Although he didn't want to, the boss still took out more money. There is no way, if someone destroys the store, everything will be over!
At this moment, Ye Chen stepped forward, held the boss's hand and said, "This money can't be given! They just bully you to be honest. If you give it the first time, there will be a second time. Today it is two taels. Tomorrow they can ask for four taels, and the day after tomorrow it will be ten taels, how much money do you have to give!"
Although Ye Chen is not old, he looks at things more deeply than the average person. These bastards saw that their boss was easy to bully, so their salary suddenly rose to two taels.
With their greedy nature, they will definitely ask for four taels tomorrow. If the boss still gives it happily, they will definitely ask for ten taels the day after tomorrow. These people will keep testing your limits.
When the boss heard this, hesitation appeared on his face. Although he was loyal and honest, it didn't mean he was stupid. But he knew it was one thing, but whether he gave it or not was another thing entirely.
After all, if he didn't give it today, his store might be destroyed and his business would no longer be possible.
He only hoped that after he handed over the money, the other party would feel a sense of compassion and not push them to a dead end.
"Alas... I know what the young master said, but..." He sighed, waved his hand to Ye Chen, and then took out the money in his arms.
When the three people opposite saw him taking out the money, their faces, originally full of anger, suddenly turned into greed and contempt. They glanced at Ye Chen who was about to say something, and the leader said disdainfully:
"Where are you from, you idiot? Get out of here. If you stop me from making a fortune again, I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to take the silver handed over by the boss. However, when the silver was about to be handed to his hand, he was blocked by his other hand.
"Boss, I can't give you this money!" Yunze shook his head at the boss. Although the boss was unwilling to go with him, he still had to help him.
It is true that these people go too far, oppressing good people, and do not give people a way to survive at all.
"Sir, if you don't give us the money..." The boss looked unwilling. He didn't want to give the money, but it was impossible not to give it. These people had the backing of the police. There was even the shadow of the prefect behind him.
If he doesn't pay, he will really have no chance of survival.
"It's okay, leave this matter to me!" Yunze smiled faintly at his boss.
When the three people on the opposite side heard this, they immediately became angry. Seeing that they were about to get the money, they were cut off halfway. They almost died of anger.
"Boy, who the hell are you? You dare to meddle in other people's business. I'll leave it to you to deal with. Who do you think you are! If you are wise, just go away and don't offend me. Otherwise, I will beat your parents to the point where know."
The leader said angrily, as if he wanted to take action against Yunze.
Yunze looked at the other party indifferently, and said slightly: "Who is this young master? Yunze of Danyang City! Have you heard of it!"
In the past, Yunze didn't think his name would be very useful. Even if he heard his name, it would represent a playboy and a prodigal, but it's different now.
Because everyone in Danyang City knew that the Tuan Lian Commander was eager to marry his daughter to him. In the eyes of outsiders, Yunze was the son-in-law of Tuan Lian Commander Luo Xuan.
When the city guards saw Yun Ze, they all had to respectfully call him uncle. Not to mention the three bastards in front of me.
The moment they heard Yunze's name, the three gangsters, who were originally full of pride and arrogance, suddenly trembled and stepped back in fright. His eyes were filled with fear.
"You said you are Yunze?! The son-in-law of the regimental commander!?" The leader exclaimed.
When Yunze heard this title, he felt a little embarrassed. Luo Xuan had now become known to the whole city, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
If he really denied this in front of everyone, Luo Qingcen would probably lose his dignity. Luo Xuan is forcing his daughter to marry him. Luo Qingcen never denied this matter.
However, Yunze was a little embarrassed to admit it in front of everyone. Fortunately, Ye Chen on the side quickly said: "It's good that you know my eldest brother's name. Now, do you still dare to touch my eldest brother!"
After receiving Ye Chen's confirmation, the three gangsters were so frightened that they backed away.
"Well, Mr. Yun, this is a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... Since you are here, I don't need this money! You are busy... you are busy..."
They may dare to provoke others, but Yunze and the others cannot afford to provoke them. Not to mention that Yunze's current net worth is unmatched by anyone in Danyang City. Just because he has a close relationship with the Danyang County Prince, they cannot afford to provoke them.
Not to mention, there is Luo Xuan, the most protective person. If he knew that someone was bullying his son-in-law, this guy would definitely lead the city guards and ransack their home!
"Wait..." Seeing the three people about to leave, Yunze said calmly: "In the future, don't come to collect the protection fees for this store, they! I'll protect it!"
Yunze's voice was cold, with a chill in it.
The three gangsters heard the recipe and responded one after another. They left in despair.
Regardless of whether the boss is willing to work with him or not, Yunze thinks it's better to help him. He doesn't want to see this family being forced into a desperate situation.
Moreover, the other party also promised to give him a batch of seeds, which was not a gain.
Seeing the three people leaving, the boss quickly knelt down in front of Yunze and said with gratitude in his voice: "Master Yun, thank you. If it weren't for you today... we..."
His voice was choked up and he couldn't say anything else.
He also knew about this matter today. Even if he took money to solve it, it would only lay the foundation for his own trouble, because of the greed of those people. The money required will only increase day by day. In the end, they may not even have a chance to survive.
Even if he has a small amount of assets, he can't withstand the torture of these people.
"Boss, there's no need to be polite. Get up... We'll talk about what I just said later... I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Yunze waved to the boss.
Although he helped the other party once, Yunze didn't want to repay the favor. It was a pity that things did not achieve the result that I expected, but it was a good ending.
It shouldn't be difficult to ask for seeds from the other party next time.
Seeing that Yunze was about to leave, the boss quickly said: "Mr. Yun, I agree to what you said, as long as I can follow Mr. Yun! It's okay if you don't do this small business of mine!"
This time, he was very happy. Not even the slightest thought.
Yunze looked slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so happy.
"You old man, you are really interesting. My eldest brother invited you just now and you were not happy. Why are you happy now?! If you think my eldest brother is helping you and you want to repay the favor, forget it! Don't let me think that my eldest brother is taking advantage of the favor. Pay it forward!"
Ye Chen said unhappily from the side.
"Young master is joking. If Mr. Yun had just revealed his identity, I would never hesitate. After all, Mr. Yun has countless people alive and has saved so many victims. If the government is responsible for this matter, I don't know how many people will die." Mr. Yun is now a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of our people. Moreover, Mr. Yun has also eliminated the cancer of the Huang family! It has made our people’s lives much easier. Being able to work for you is a blessing for this villain!"
The boss looked at Yunze with a sincere face. His eyes were filled with gratitude and reverence.
Yunze was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had such a good reputation among the people.
But having said that, the entire Danyang City knew about the victims outside Danyang City. In the end, the victims were not only resettled, but also lived well. It is impossible for the people not to admire Yunze from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, when famines occurred in previous years, a large number of victims would definitely die in the end. The government doesn't care about everyone's life and death.
As for the incident involving the Huang family and his son, everyone knew that it was Yunze who did it, and many people applauded it. Many people who were oppressed by the Huang family regarded Yunze as a benefactor.
"Okay... Boss, it's settled! You can wait for me at Ye's house later... let's discuss it in detail! How about it!" Yunze smiled slightly.
He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly just by giving his name. If he can get help from the other party, he will be more confident in defeating the Zheng family.
"Master Yun, my name is Mo Sheng. You can just call me Mo Sheng!" The boss said to Yun Ze quickly.
Yunze nodded, turned around and took Ye Chen towards Wanhua and Lou. Before leaving, he told Mo Sheng to wait for him at Ye's house when Shen Shizhong arrived. Just tell Ye Ziyan that you asked him to go, and that's it!
Mo Sheng agreed.
