Today is the first day of the lunar month, the day when the inner court distributes subsidies. Five thousand points, don't give it away. If you don't take advantage of it, you're a bastard. Get it perfectly. In the early morning, Lu Changfeng called the two brothers and went to get it back. Unexpectedly, three people came to the courtyard in the afternoon.
The visitor, Lu Changfeng, was very familiar. They were the same people who robbed him when he entered school that day. These people are considered enemies, so he knows the identities of these people.
The leader, known as Jia Ba, is at the third level of the Martial Master Realm. On the day Lu Changfeng entered school, this man was only at the ninth level of the martial master realm. After not seeing him for half a year, he was actually the third level of the martial master realm. This progress was a bit scary.
The tall, fat and chubby man is at the sixth level of the martial arts realm and is known as the Great Smart. The other thin man is known as the Monkey and is also at the sixth level of the martial arts realm. Both of them are followers of Jia Ba.
It stands to reason that among these three people, except for Jia Ba, the other two are not qualified to stay in the inner courtyard. Hou Hou and Da Chongming have not even reached the Martial Master Realm after so many years. They are two losers. But they couldn't stand it because they were related households, so the two of them were stunned to gain a foothold in the inner courtyard.
Now that these three people are coming to visit, something bad will definitely happen, but someone has to respond. Lu Changfeng asked: "Who are you three looking for?"
Jia Ba smiled: "Hey, these three junior brothers are very familiar with each other, they must be new to the inner courtyard! Let me introduce myself, my surname is Jia, and I am the eighth in the ranking. The three junior brothers can just call me Jia Ba. These two are the Monkey and the Great Smart.”
Everyone is a disciple of the inner court, but Jia Ba and the others are from the past. Although Lu Changfeng is well-known among this generation of disciples, he is not well-known in the entire inner courtyard. So Lu Changfeng knew Jia Ba and the others, but Jia Ba and the others did not know Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng pretended to be polite and said: "Nice to meet you! I wonder if the three senior brothers are here. What do you do for me?"
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously," Jia Ba chuckled and said, "Jia is here to inform the three junior brothers to pay their monthly payment?"
Lu Changfeng frowned and said, "Monthly money? Please tell Senior Brother Jia clearly!"
Jia Ba seemed to clear his throat and explained to Lu Changfeng: "You must also know, my junior brother, that in today's world, warriors are respected, and those with big fists have the final say, but for those with small fists, this world is not so good. It’s safe, even in this inner courtyard.”
Lu Changfeng nodded: "Yes, yes, it's too dangerous. But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with monthly money."
"What doesn't matter?" Monkey, who was following Jia Ba, shouted angrily, but Jia Ba held him down.
Jia Ba smiled and said: "Of course it is related. Considering the safety of all the brothers, our Chusheng Gang is dedicated to protecting you. Of course, there are many brothers in our gang and they all need to eat, so we regularly ask the brothers every month We charge a small fee, and that’s the monthly payment.”
The only ones who can talk about blackmail in such a fresh and refined way are Jia Ba and his gang. The old enemy came to blackmail him again today. Lu Changfeng was angry. But facing the other party's strength which was far higher than his own, he had no choice but to apologize and said with a smile: "I see. This is understandable. I don't know how to calculate the monthly payment." of?"
Jia Badao was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Changfeng to be so cooperative, so he said: "It's not much. Considering that the senior brothers also have expenses, each junior brother only needs to pay two thousand points per month."
Two thousand points is twenty taels of silver. Damn it, the college's subsidy is only fifty taels a month. This bunch of bastards wanted to take 40% off with just one mouthful. The key was that they came just on the day when the college was distributing subsidies, so they obviously took advantage of it.
"How could..." Long Hu just spoke, but Zhou Hua immediately covered his mouth.
"It's really not much! Senior brothers are really thoughtful!" Lu Changfeng took out the 6,000 points card and handed it to Jia Ba: "Senior brother, please take a look at it for the three of us!"
Jia Ba took the score card, counted it, and said: "This junior brother is really a cheerful person, thank you! In this case, it's time for us to say goodbye!"
"Senior brothers, take your time and come here often when you have time!"
…
"Dafeng, what are you doing? They are obviously extorting money, why are you giving it to them?" Jia Ba and the others had just gone out, and Long Hu immediately questioned Lu Changfeng.
"Why not?" Lu Changfeng smiled bitterly: "I can't beat him. The three of us together may not be his match against Jia Bawu Zunjing, who is at the third level, not to mention he has two younger brothers."
"This..." A trace of hesitation flashed across Longhu's resolute face, and then he said resolutely: "Even if we can't defeat them, we can still fight them."
"This, although it can be called courageous, is also stupid. To put it bluntly, this is called ordinary courage! If possible, I suggest you never do this!" Lu Changfeng commented without hesitation.
Longhu's dark face turned red: "How could you do this?"
Lu Changfeng closed his eyes and couldn't bear it. This was the first time he said such heavy words to the upright Long Hu. But the facts are in front of him. If he can't be persuaded, I'm afraid he will suffer a loss in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng was heartbroken and continued: "With our current strength, if we attack them rashly, we may not even be qualified to hurt them. If you rush forward and act like a hero for a while, what will happen to you?" Say, there is no problem, because this is your choice and no one else has the right to interfere. But have you ever thought about it, if you are injured or die, who will be sad? That's your family, friends, and us brothers .”
"I... don't know..." Longhu opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless. His face had turned purple and was completely distorted. He seemed to be experiencing some kind of unspeakable pain.
In Longhu's view, people should have backbone. If someone bullies someone to the point of being bullied, they should be bullied back immediately and severely. It is better to be broken into pieces than to be ruined. But he didn't expect that Lu Changfeng, a good brother who always cared for him, who seemed not to care about anything, would actually say this about him.
"Relax, brother!" Lu Changfeng patted Longhu on the shoulder: "Do you remember what I told you last time? Stay calm when things happen! It's okay to be angry for a while. Bear with it and you will become stronger in the future. , you can vent your anger however you want."
Longhu stared blankly at the strange yet familiar Lu Changfeng in front of him, unable to say a word for a long time.
Zhou Hua smoothed things over and said, "Ah, Brother Feng, Longhu is just part of the atmosphere. Just say a few words, don't be so serious!"
Lu Changfeng said: "I know, you hate those people just now. As warriors, they can't act chivalrously, but they spend all their time thinking about how to extort money and bully their fellow disciples. I feel the same way. But now we can't fight, you have to Forbearance! Rather than die now, it’s better to stay alive and settle the accounts with them when there is a chance in the future. Isn’t this good?”
Lu Changfeng thought of the Rebirth Pill he had brought back two days ago, and suddenly wanted to test the potency on Jia Ba and the others. However, he then thought that he would be leaving this place soon, so he stopped causing trouble and let the two brothers carry it for the time being.
"Thank you, I know what to do!" Longhu stayed quietly for a while and said this to Lu Changfeng calmly.
Lu Changfeng didn't speak, he just smiled and patted Longhu's shoulder. The three of them hugged each other, and then the three of them laughed loudly! For young people aged sixteen or seventeen, friendship is that simple. Even though Longhu was tall and two years older than Lu Changfeng, Lu Changfeng was basically the one making the decisions among the three of them. Longhu knew how good Lu Changfeng was and would rarely question him. As for Zhou Hua, he is just a slug that hasn’t grown up yet...
Lu Changfeng said to Zhou Hua: "Zhou Hua, let me ask, what does the Chu Sheng Gang do? Who is related to them? There are other big forces in this city. Don't even let go of the color of their dogs."
Zhou Hua said in horror: "What are you doing, Brother Feng? Are you going to deal with them?"
"Idiot, after we figure out the situation, we can take a detour if we see them in the future!"
Zhou Hua: "..."
Longhu: "..."
Lu Changfeng looked at the two brothers as if they were fools and said, "Is there any problem?"
Zhou Hua grinned: "No problem, Brother Feng! You are so awesome, I'll go right away."
"That's pretty much it," Lu Changfeng said with a smile, "Go ahead! After you figure it out, I'll treat you to Taihe Building!"
"Okay, Brother Feng, just wait!" Zhou Hua ran away.
What Lu Changfeng didn't expect was that not long after Zhou Hua left, a second wave of people came to collect protection money. This time there were also three people, calling themselves the Zhu Gou Gang, led by an inner court disciple at the fourth level of the Martial Master Realm. The pricing standard for these people was also two thousand points per person. Good guy, 80% of the subsidies issued by the college today were wiped out in two waves. From this point of view, the disciples in the inner courtyard are also living in dire straits.
Lu Changfeng's words were still useful, and Longhu remained calm this time. When Lu Changfeng paid for others, Longhu automatically turned around and carried everyone on his back. This kid has figured it out, and Lu Changfeng is very satisfied. This is only right, a man can bend and stretch. As the saying goes, if you are strong, you will break easily, but if you are soft, you will last forever.
