Sure enough, although the people from the Ding family were very polite to Zhao Qinghu and repeatedly praised Zhao Qinghu as a young hero in Hukou, they made Zhao Qinghu extremely angry when he said what he had said.
It turns out that the Ding family has taken a liking to Zhao Qinghu and his hunting team. This time they came to recruit Zhao Qinghu and his dozens of brothers into Pingbo Hall, and promised to give Zhao Qinghu the title of a team leader. Position.
That's okay, after all, the Panjia'ao hunting team is now well-known, and with Zhao Qinghu's reputation as Jiangdong Hutou, it is natural for him to be favored and recruited by big forces.
But the steward of Pingbo Hall made an unacceptable request. If Zhao Qinghu agrees to recruit, then he and all his family members and relatives will be moved to Pingbo Town, saying that this is to allow everyone to work with Master Ding without worries.
Hehe, there are no worries, this is obviously to use Zhao Qinghu and his family as hostages, in case anyone is unwilling to follow the Ding family to do bad things or report them.
When the manager said this, Zhao Qinghu instantly understood how the Ding family managed to keep everything airtight. It controlled all the members of the family so that you would not dare to rebel even if you wanted to, unless you didn't pity your family members. life.
This method can be described as very vicious, but also very effective.
However, just promising to be the captain of the Pingbo Hall team training team and annexing the entire team that Zhao Qinghu had worked hard to build over the years was too ugly and even a bit insulting.
You know, the Panjia'ao hunting team has now grown to about 50 people. Zhao Qinghu not only imparts his hunting experience, but also teaches shooting and family martial arts to his partners without any secrets. This is for There is a power of self-preservation in troubled times.
Moreover, he and his brothers had been frugal in the past few years. They even spent their adoptive father's savings over the years and bought more than a dozen rifles and some parts through friends and regular customers of the business. Although the bullets are not enough for each person to have a gun, at least it has a certain scale.
Haha, you Pingbotang not only want to pick up a highly effective team for nothing, but also ask people to hand over their relatives and family members to you as hostages. This is not just forcing others to do something difficult, but naked bullying.
Of course, Zhao Qinghu could not agree, but considering the large number of people in Pingbo Hall, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and politely declined the invitation of Pingbo Hall's steward.
But he didn't expect that the steward would make another request that almost made his lungs explode.
It is said that Mr. Ding of Pingbo Hall also admired Zhao Qinghu very much. He knew that he was a heroic figure from Jiangdong and was unwilling to succumb to others. In order to avoid harming the harmony between the two families, Pingbotang will take 30% of the future hunting income of their Panjia'ao hunting team. Moreover, the business of escorting caravans across the mountain can no longer be done.
why?
Because our Pingbo Hall is an official team training, we have the responsibility to protect the environment and the people, and the local people also have the obligation to contribute money and efforts. In the past, Mr. Ding took pity on the poor villagers of Panjia'ao and never came to collect team training fees. But now that Panjia'ao has been lifted out of poverty and become rich under the leadership of you, Jiangdong Hutou, it is natural that he has to collect fees.
As for the matter of guarding the caravan, it is the responsibility of our group training. Naturally, we, Pingbotang, will take care of it from now on, so we don't need to worry about you ordinary people.
Haha, this is the business of the jealous hunting team, and it will take away people's jobs.
In fact, the implication of Ping Bo Tang is very clear. Since you don't want to be my dog, then you should break up the team. Our three-acre land in Hukou cannot accommodate a second armed force except Laozi Pingbo Hall.
At this point, if Zhao Qinghu were to be polite to the manager of Pingbotang who cannibalizes people without spitting out bones, he would be called Jiangdong Tiger Head in vain.
He immediately asked people to see off the guests and made his attitude clear. Let alone whether Pingbotang could represent the government, even if the government came, there was no reason why the people should not be allowed to eat on their own merits.
My Panjia'ao hunting team neither steals nor robs, and pays the fish tax to the county in full every year. Why should I give the hunting income to you Pingbotang to harvest, together with this mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles? Are they all from your Ding family?
As for escorting the caravan across the mountain, that is a matter of mutual consent. If you have the ability, you can do it. Everyone can compete fairly, so why not let us do it.
Speaking of which, in fact, we have already broken up with each other. The steward didn't make any threats, he just sneered and walked away.
But Zhao Qinghu knew that a biting dog would not bark, not to mention that this Ding family was a vicious wolf that could eat people.
So, he summoned the whole village, old and young, to discuss together how to defend against the Ding family.
Although some people in the village are afraid of Ping Bo Tang's power, most of them naturally feel resentful when they think that after just two years of peace, they will be taken away by Ping Bo Tang.
Moreover, everyone still has a kind of luck in their hearts, thinking that although you, Pingbotang, have done absolutely nothing bad, you only dare to hide in the dark and dare not do evil openly, so that you will not openly attack Panjia'ao.
Zhao Qinghu's adoptive father also suggested that Zhao Qinghu let the news out that Pingbotang was annexing the Panjia'ao hunting team, so that everyone in the world would know that Pingbotang and Panjia'ao had taken over Liang Zi. This would make Pingbo The hall is a rat-averse weapon and does not dare to blatantly harm Panjiao.
It has to be said that ginger is still hotter than old, and this strategy of the old Orion really works. It didn’t take long before the news that Pingbotang’s annexation of Panjia’ao would not lead to people’s livelihood spread throughout Hukou and the surrounding rivers and lakes. Many heroes who were friends with Zhao Qinghu came to help, and even brought some with them. The gun came to help.
Moreover, there were even more skilled thieves who were not angry with the Ding family for bullying others and went directly to Pingbo Town. Although there was nothing they could do about the old house built by the Ding family like a fortress, they destroyed some of the Ding family's properties and properties on the edge of the town. It can still be done despite being restless.
Fortunately, Zhao Qinghu intervened in time to dissuade him. Otherwise, some heroes might have gone too far, causing things like arson and kidnapping, and instead they would have become unrelenting enemies with the Ding family.
Only then did the Ding family know Zhao Qinghu's prestige in the world, and unknowingly he became a figure like Xiao Mengchang.
Realizing that he had hit a brick wall this time, someone from the Ding family quickly came forward to clarify, saying that it was the private behavior of his subordinates. The master of the Ding family admired Jiangdong Hutou very much and said that Zhao Qinghu was a young hero in Hukou. Pingbotang How could he do such an outrageous thing to his hometown people?
Not to mention, Pingbotang also asked the steward who was beaten black and blue by the family law to come to Panjiaao with a boatload of gifts to apologize, saying it was a misunderstanding.
Of course, Zhao Qinghu didn't want to offend Pingbotang too much, so he naturally said some kind words, and the two sides finally calmed down the turmoil.
