Chen Yuanze took a rough look at the visitor. His hair was dirty, his clothes were wrinkled, and there were still oil stains on them that had not been cleaned. They reflected light from time to time. The big yellow teeth in his open and closed mouth were black and scarce. , the smell of alcohol in his throat came out with stinky hot steam, making him gag. Chen Yuanze quickly took two steps back in disgust, indicating that he wanted to stay away. He was disgusted and pinched his nose and said dissatisfied: "Where did it come from? Beggar, get out of here right now.”
Chen Yuanze's disgust and contempt were palpable, which made Boss Peng Dayi uncomfortable. He also had dignity when he came to collect money, you know.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Peng Dayi was unhappy. He went back and changed his clothes just to ask for money. He looked like a beggar. You are the beggar, and your whole family is a beggar!
"Hmph, even beggars are cleaner than you." Chen Yuanze said matter-of-factly, not noticing that Peng Dayi was already angry.
"If you dare to speak ill of me, I won't beat you to death." Peng Dayi was completely outraged. He raised his fists and prepared to teach him an unforgettable lesson.
Xiao Ming came out just in time and saw the fist flying straight towards Chen Yuanze. He was so close that he was startled. Chen Yuanze couldn't avoid it. Just as he was about to shout, he saw Shi Tingyu quickly blocking the incoming fist.
Peng Dayi wanted to teach the boy in front of him a lesson, but his fist was cut off halfway. The other person was a young man, the one who was sitting on the stool just now. His face was calm and his eyes were bright, seemingly He blocked the fist easily, but blocking it so easily caused Peng Dayi pain. He felt that his arm was tightly clamped like a pair of pliers and he couldn't move forward at all. He wanted to take his hand back but couldn't. Peng Dayi couldn't move forward or retreat in time. I was shocked, I didn't expect this young man to be so strong.
He couldn't help but think of the time they met in a restaurant a few months ago. The five of them were beaten down by a young man. The money was confiscated and Shi Dahe gave him a severe beating. Because of this, he cowered for two months. He didn't dare to take the lead. Since his bad start, the few people who were with him were no longer willing to associate with him. He had been doing petty theft for the past two months. Today he met the guy from the house next door. The eldest brother (although he didn't know who he was from the house next door) said that a shop opened on West Street today, and the business was very good. The owner was a foreigner, and he felt aggravated again, thinking about making a fortune, happy Oh, a few days.
No, he colluded with five brothers who usually had a pretty good relationship and came here.
Is this also a tough challenge? Peng Dayi was not sure. He wanted to give up for a moment, but he came back to his senses in a moment. Why were there five of them afraid of this one in front of him?
Shi Tingyu finally let go of his hand, allowing Peng Dayi to escape from the cage. He quickly took two steps back and stood with the latter two to strengthen his confidence.
"What's the matter with you?" Shi Tingyu asked, looking at him coldly, and the intimidating aura made the six of them shiver.
The arrow was already in the bow. Peng Dayi looked at the five people he had brought with him and looked at him. He knew that if he couldn't collect the money this time, he would definitely have to be repaired by these five brothers. In the future, he might not be able to find anyone to support him when he robs homes. Now that the situation is over, he still knows how to bluff as crowds make people bold, "What's the matter? I'm here to collect money. You must know that our brothers are taking care of this street."
Although Peng Dayi was tall and tall, he was much taller than Chen Yuanze, but he was a little shorter than Shi Tingyu. He had to hold his neck when he spoke, which was ridiculous.
Chen Yuanze stood behind Shi Tingyu. He was always fearless. Now that he had Shi Tingyu as his backer, he was even less afraid and more powerful. Hearing Peng Dayi's words, he couldn't help but laugh. "Cashier, what the hell, our Xiao family still needs you, a beggar, to take care of our store. Hurry and get as far away as you can, don't dirty my land."
Xiao Ming~~
This is called bluffing. This guy is too arrogant. He talks about beggars and beggars. I don’t know what Mrs. Chen feels here. Well, it must be because she doesn’t have the quality.
Sure enough, Peng Dayi felt even more dissatisfied after hearing this. The five brothers behind him were not fuel-efficient lamps. They were all very angry and wanted to tear him apart.
"Where did you come from, this yellow-haired boy? You dare to say this in front of me. I'm sorry for your nagging. Hurry up and hand over the money. Two hundred taels of silver a month." Peng Dayi opened his mouth and asked for two hundred taels of silver. snort! snort! There are not more than two hundred taels left. There is no one-third of an acre in Pingcheng that he doesn't know about. There is no big family named Xiao at all. They must be from out of town.
Two hundred taels to slaughter the fat sheep, Peng Dayi thought beautifully in his heart. With these two hundred taels, he gave one hundred and fifty taels to his five brothers. Each of him can keep fifty taels of silver, and he can spend time happily in Lianxiang Courtyard. , he has not been as gentle as the Ruyan girl inside for a long time.
Thinking of Miss Ruyan's tender hands and delicate body, his mouth almost watered.
The waiters Gu San and Luo Wu opened their eyes even more when they heard that, two hundred taels, a month..., they had also worked as waiters before, and the boss got filial piety money every month, but it was just a few dollars. How come they only have two hundred taels of silver a month when they get here? Two hundred taels of silver is worth their lives.
Shi Tingyu stopped Chen Yuanze and asked, "Two hundred taels of silver?"
"I'm looking after this street. Hand over the money to ensure safety. Be honest and hand over the money, otherwise..., hmm!!"
Otherwise, it will definitely be unsafe. He, Peng Dayi, also has a nickname called Peng Shuolai. Although it is not a nice word, he is just like his name. He is good at eating and lazy, doing nothing but producing. He also likes to steal chickens, touch other people's dogs, and pick up people's money. I know how many small businesses and households have succumbed to his power.
The merchants would give him a few taels of silver every month as a token of filial piety, to keep him safe. It was a kind of protection fee. If he didn't pay it, of course he wouldn't be safe. An accident would happen every three days, which was annoying and unbearable.
"Oh, how do you do it?" Shi Tingyu just listened and did not ask anyone to bring out the money.
"Of course, we brothers will take care of it to ensure your safety in life and stable business. Do you know this is protection? Taking people's money to help them eliminate disasters." Peng Dayi explained kindly, and said matter-of-factly: "Of course not. We won’t protect the money.”
"Yeah!" Shi Tingyu nodded, sat down peacefully, and waited for the next step.
Xiao Ming was stunned by Shi Tingyu's attitude. Unexpectedly, this guy was still a scheming person, "Brother, they are collecting protection fees, protection fees?" Please be more serious. At least show a little bit of fear. '
