Restaurant owners are people who are very observant. Although Chen Yuan is just a government servant, he doesn't want to cause more troubles. Although the owner of the restaurant has a background, as the saying goes, imps are difficult to deal with.
This is also an invisible benefit in the yamen.
In order to let him become a formal government servant, Uncle Chen Yuan often asked for help.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for me." Chen Yuan nodded to the waiter pleasantly.
"Master, you have something to say, please leave first."
The waiter smiled flatteringly.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, first picked up the drink and took a big sip, then directly reached out and grabbed the pork knuckle and began to eat meat, a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine to fill his hungry stomach.
Sword training and leather refining are all extremely consuming activities.
With a plate of pork knuckles in his belly, Chen Yuan began to slowly taste the two side dishes presented by the shopkeeper...
"The Beihai Gang is doing some work, and those who are idle should go away..."
Downstairs, there was a low shout and an explosion. Chen Yuan's eyes moved and he stared at the group of people dressed below. Each of them had a knife embroidered on their chest.
The Beihai Gang is a powerful force in Ping'an County. They bully good people, collect protection fees, open casinos and brothels, and have nearly a hundred disciples in the gang.
He is regarded as a tyrant in the north of the city.
Moreover, the most important thing is that all the officials in the county government know that behind the Beihai Gang is the Huang family, a large family in Ping'an County, which is the family where the head catcher Huang Xing belongs.
Therefore, as long as no one is killed, everyone in the county government will turn a blind eye.
The same is true for Chen Yuan.
Speaking of which, Chen Yuan's family had also been exploited by the Beihai Gang, but since they put on this layer of official skin, the Beihai Gang seemed to have disappeared and never visited the Chen family again.
Even several neighbors near Chen's house collected much less protection fees. This was one of the reasons why Xiaofang, who used to sell steamed buns, was quite attracted to him.
Among those neighbors, Chen Yuan was already a rather powerful man.
But like a person drinking water, he knows whether it is warm or cold.
Due to the seniority ranking within the county government, coupled with Chen Yuan's low strength, his status among the government officials was not high and he could only be considered a middle-lower one.
Of course, they are all colleagues, and generally no one will make things difficult for him for no reason. If he stays there for a few more years, Chen Yuan will also be one of them.
As far as Chen Yuan knew, the monthly income of those old government officials at the blood refining level was twice as much as his, and they were already considered high-income groups in Ping'an County.
In this way, the consumption of martial arts training can be supported.
"Perhaps...the money can be obtained from the Beihai Gang..." Chen Yuan's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
It's just that it can't be done using conventional methods, because Chen Yuan's current strength is low and his immediate boss is Huang Xing, so finding trouble is definitely not an option.
That's totally asking for death.
Below, the Beihai gang is collecting protection fees as usual, and merchants on both sides of the street are taking money from the cash cabinets. If there is no money...
The Beihai Gang tolerates arrears, but the interest rate is very high, so even if you borrow money, you usually have to pay the monthly payment.
There are already many examples of families being destroyed and people being killed.
Even some merchants in his neighborhood would expect him to come forward to help. Chen Yuan didn't have much face, and at most he would only be given a few days of grace.
Soon, six or seven Beihai gang members walked up to the second floor carrying long knives. The waiter on the side looked more flattering than Chen Yuan.
"Captain Chen..."
One of the leaders of the Beihai Gang recognized Chen Yuan at a glance. He walked forward with squinted eyes and held his hands with a smile on his face.
"Master Wang."
Chen Yuan also showed a smile.
"Deputy, haha..." Hall Master Wang laughed, as if he was extremely satisfied with Chen Yuan's shout of Hall Master Wang.
I couldn't help but secretly think that people in the yamen were different. Those subordinates under him could only shout "Vice Hall Master Wang".
"With Hall Master Wang's methods, sooner or later the subtitles will be removed."
"I heard from Agent Xu that the previously fierce Iron Hand was actually killed by Agent Chen. Wang really admires him. That Iron Hand guy is not a good person."
"It was just a fluke."
Hall Master Wang glanced at the food and wine on Chen Yuan's table and ordered the waiter beside him:
"Captain Chen's drink money was recorded in Wang's account..."
"Yes, I understand."
"Hallmaster Wang is welcome."
"Hey, I just killed Iron Hand because of Captain Chen. A little money for drinks is not worth mentioning."
"That would be disrespectful..." Chen Yuan didn't have too many polite words.
"Then Wang will take a seat first." Hall Master Wang dragged Swen Fan.
"Please."
Hall Master Wang and his party sat far away from Chen Yuan, and several of his subordinates seemed to be talking about something.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was thinking about how to get money from the Beihai Gang.
Although the Beihai Gang is quite polite to them, the government officials, the relationship between them is really not that good. They just hope that nothing will happen.
This is also the Huang family’s warning.
The real decision-making power in Ping'an County is the imperial court. The whole situation is so angry and resentful that it will be difficult to end in the end.
After taking a sip of his drink, Chen Yuan's ears suddenly twitched and he began to hear the conversation between Hall Master Wang and others.
Since practicing the Celestial Eye Technique, Chen Yuan has found that his hearing has improved a lot. Therefore, although they lowered their voices, Chen Yuan could still hear them.
"Deputy Hall Master Wang, don't you need to please a yamen servant who has just entered the Yamen?" A subordinate sitting next to Hall Master Wang said and glanced at Chen Yuan inadvertently.
"What do you know? The person named Chen is a member of the Yamen after all. Recently, the gang leader has given instructions not to cause any trouble."
"With Capt. Huang here, what else can happen to a government servant?"
"What do you want to say? Do you have some grudge against the person named Chen?" Hall Master Wang came back and glanced at the subordinate beside him.
"Hehe, if I hadn't said that you, Deputy Hall Master Wang, are so awesome, I do have some grudges with this guy named Chen. Do you still remember the little girl from Zhou Ji Baozi Shop?"
"What's wrong?"
"When I went to collect the test fee, I fell in love with that girl, but... I heard that the person named Chen is very close to her. I don't want you, Deputy Hall Master Wang, to help suppress that kid."
"Don't worry, I understand the rules."
Hall Master Wang took a look at Wang Eryi’s bleak look:
"I'm not from the yamen, how can I suppress a person named Chen? You'd better not think about this matter. You haven't heard of someone who killed Tie Shou a while ago, right?"
"The boy named Chen is said to be favored by Magistrate Wu. You should save your money."
"Hey, Hall Master, don't you just mention this?"
"Okay, I still don't know what your plan is? Why don't you drink some damn wine and don't miss the evening..."
"Don't worry, Hall Master, nothing will happen. I'm just giving money to Butler Huang. It's not like the younger ones of the Huang family have never been there before."
"What are you yelling about? Keep your mouth shut." Hall Master Wang's face turned cold.
Wang Er looked panicked and quickly smiled charmingly:
"Master, what you said is that my subordinates are doing things, doing things..."
