"We had a good memory before, but I didn't come here tonight to find him, so relax," Zhang Heng said to the black-tailed snake who was facing an enemy, and then his eyes turned around in the tavern. circle, and finally landed on a black man in the corner.
The other party looked like an ordinary drinker, neither surrounded by his subordinates like a black-tailed snake, nor surrounded by a dwarf beauty, and the food on his table was also very shabby, only half a loaf of bread and a A bottle of wine, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a big shot.
However, Zhang Heng said afterwards, "It seems that you should be in iron cuffs."
"Why do you say that? We probably haven't seen it before." The black man asked back.
"In the tavern, you are the only one who sits the farthest away from other people, or on the other hand, other people don't dare to approach you. Obviously, they are all afraid of you in their hearts. The other dwarf subconsciously wanted to sit in the direction where you were sitting just now. See, of course, the main reason is because Soap told me what you look like and other relevant information."
Zhang Heng paused, then continued, "You were a slave before, and you escaped a few times, but you were arrested, put on iron cuffs, and suffered a lot of torture. This is where your nickname comes from. As a result, one day your former owner was found dead in his own barn, with a pitchfork pierced through the back of his heart. They suspected you, but because there was no evidence, it finally disappeared. The son of the former owner sold you It was given to another family. Two years later, your new master also encountered an accident. However, he made a will before his death and decided to free twenty slaves. You are lucky to be one of them. After you are free, you will be free. After moving here, he worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop at first, but it was difficult to earn money, so he quickly got together with a group of people and controlled all the thieves in the nearby three streets, and let them go on a regular basis in the name of protection. Pay you the money, am I right?"
"Since you know who I am, you still dare to stand up for them?" Iron Man's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at the four soapy people beside him. Under the years of accumulating power, the four suddenly felt breathless, and even stood up quickly. Unsteady.
"I'm not standing up for them. As he said before, we came to you just to discuss a business." Zhang Heng went straight to the iron cuffs, opened the chair opposite him, and sat down. down.
"Us?" Iron Cuffs caught the point.
"Yes, my twelve brothers and I, as a courtesy, let me say hello first, they are still waiting outside, if you have no objection, I will let them in." Zhang Heng found a The empty glass blew on the ashes inside, then picked up the wine bottle and poured himself wine.
"Twelve people, I'm afraid it's not enough." Iron Cuffs snorted.
"No, that's enough. After all, we're just here to discuss business." Zhang Heng smiled and said to the thin monkey, "Let them in."
The thin monkey took a peek at the iron cuffs. He could see that the other party was in a bad mood now. He probably even wanted to kill someone again, but the thin monkey had no choice. Knowing that the iron cuffs would be further angered, he could only run out and inform Ali. Si et al.
In fact, Aris, who is waiting outside, is also very nervous now. He has been in charge of the security of this area for so long, and of course he is very clear about the forces here. His people, Aris didn't understand why Zhang Heng came here to make money.
If there was any money to be made in this place, Iron Shackles and his people would have already made it all up.
Fortunately, there was no sound of fighting when Zhang Heng went in, but when the thin monkey came out to let them in, the other members of the patrol team couldn't help but feel drummed in their hearts. In the end, Aris made up his mind, "Come on!" We're all here, we can't just turn around and leave now, anyway, we are also the patrol here, so we can't be afraid of the gang forces here."
The others couldn't help muttering in their hearts when they heard the words, if we were not afraid, why did we put not being nosy in the first place, but they still followed Aris into the tavern.
And when their figures appeared at the door, the atmosphere in the tavern was also suffocated.
The presence of the patrol team in this area has always been very low before. Aris knew that the complex situation here could not be settled with the three melons and two dates of the patrol team, so he wisely chose to keep a low profile, but their identities were placed in the There, it is the only armed force nearby that only maintains law and order, so everyone present knows them.
Iron Cuffs asked in surprise, "You reported the case?"
"No, I'm from the patrol team." Zhang Heng smiled.
"You're from the patrol team? But I haven't seen you before, are you a newcomer? Then what kind of business do you want to talk to me about?" Iron Cuffs calmed down quickly after the initial shock, after all, it was him Although he is engaged in a criminal business, he is not afraid of the patrol, and no one in this place is afraid of the mascot of the patrol.
Without the help of local forces, these patrols would not be able to investigate even if they received a report, because there would be no one to cooperate with them. They have not even caught a thief for so long, and some thieves even swaggered to their house Stealing things in the station is simply a shame for the patrol team.
"Big business." Zhang Heng finished drinking the wine in his hand and put down the glass. "It's a full 30% of your current income." After that, he looked at Soap, "You should tell him the details."
Soap had been praying since Zhang Heng sat across from the iron cuffs that the two of them could forget about him, but now it seemed that his prayer hadn't come into effect. Can bite the bullet and said, "Sheng, business... It's very simple, the patrol team can help maintain the law and order of these three streets, and as local residents, you only need to give 30% of your income as a thank you."
"Are you kidding me? Opening your mouth is like taking away 30% of my income." Tie Shao laughed angrily. He really wanted to hear what the big business Zhang Heng had been talking about, but he found out that the other party was actually I'm not lying, it is indeed a big business that amounts to 30% of their current income, but they pay others.
"Open your eyes and take a good look. You still need to maintain the law and order of these three streets? Your manpower is less than half of mine, and look at you, you don't even have decent armor, and you have nothing to do with the beggars on the roadside. What's the difference, so thank you, we appreciate the kindness of the patrol team, we can manage our site by ourselves, you should continue to circle around this place."
The words of the iron handcuffs also caused a burst of joyful laughter in the tavern. There is no way, the image of the patrol team has become famous here. In the past two months, they have not even solved a single case, and they have even watched criminals swagger. Because neither passers-by nor victims were willing to testify, the evidence was destroyed.
The words of iron cuffs also made many patrol members turn red. Although they have been living in a miserable life here, they are law enforcement officers after all, and they still have the dignity of law enforcement officers. Of course they are angry when they are insulted like this, but Unable to refute, some people even started to blame Zhang Heng.
Seeing how much money he said before, it was a real thing, but in the end he just let the patrol team come over to humiliate himself.
Zhang Heng didn't speak, until the laughter in the tavern was a little bit quieter, he said again unhurriedly, "Okay, although you scolded us, as law enforcers, we don't care about these things, what we should do Things still need to be done, and we will help you maintain law and order around here."
"Are you so cheap? I just said that I won't give you a penny." Tie Huan sneered.
"I heard it, but I believe you will change your mind, because starting tomorrow, our patrol area will only be three streets nearby. You are right, this damn place is too big, and we have few people. I I think it's time to pick out the key points, 12 people, three streets, and only work during the day, don't worry, we will definitely take care of it this time, I can guarantee that all crimes on these three streets will be hidden, of course, after work is over It's none of our business."
