"Oh, I can't believe it! This is amazing!!! It's just one night, no, just a short time, and we made 6 Oris for nothing but standing in the tavern , you should really see the expression on Iron Cuffs' face at that time..."
When Zhang Heng and the patrol team walked out of the tavern, a young patrol member named Babier couldn't bear it anymore and shouted excitedly.
This was probably the most majestic night since he joined the patrol team, especially when Zhang Heng said to the iron cuffs, "Thirty percent, not a single copper." There was an unquestionable majesty in it.
It was as if the patrol had ambushed hundreds of people outside the tavern. As long as Zhang Heng gave an order, they would rush in and chop up all the people inside.
Iron Cuffs and his hands looked at each other, those guys on the patrol... When did they become so tough
Especially the iron cuffs that bear the brunt, because he is sitting opposite Zhang Heng, he feels the strongest, this is not a patrol team, he feels that the one in front of him is clearly the boss who controls one of the three major forces in this area.
Such a big man could decide his life or death with a single sentence, and sweat even oozes from the forehead of the iron cuffs. He found that he couldn't refuse the other party's proposal at all, not that he couldn't, but that he couldn't.
It wasn't until Zhang Heng and his party left that he woke up from this nightmare and noticed that his right hand under the table was trembling slightly.
...
Zhang Heng didn't go far, and stopped shortly after leaving the tavern, and opened the purse worth six gold coins.
The money inside was divided into fourteen shares, and twelve of them were distributed directly to the members of the patrol team. Each person could get about forty-two sesterces.
This is tantamount to a huge sum of money for the patrol team members who live on meager salaries, but you must know that this is only a week's income. According to the agreement between Zhang Heng and Tie Shuan, Tie Shuan will pay 30% of the income every week thereafter. To the Patrol, as a token of appreciation for the Patrol's efforts to maintain law and order.
And everyone didn't have any opinion on Zhang Heng taking two shares, because the money was almost earned by Zhang Heng alone. Before that, no one thought that he could make money in this way. Everyone even thought that Zhang Heng took too little Even if he took away the big head, no one would talk too much.
However, Zhang Heng himself doesn’t really have any particular need for money. He still has income from performances at the Victor Arena. Taking two is more to set the rules for the future distribution of money. After all, since he plans to take over the patrol team , the issue of benefit distribution must be dealt with properly, otherwise the team will not be able to take them very far.
After everyone took the money happily, the way they looked at Zhang Heng also changed. They no longer regarded him as a new outsider like before, and showed more respect and kindness.
However, Aris, the captain, looked at Zhang Heng in a somewhat complicated way. He didn't immediately take over his own share.
Instead, he said, "I actually wanted to ask you in there just now, but at that time you were still negotiating with Iron Cuffs, you were a member of the patrol team and I couldn't tear down your desk, but now, I think I can ask There's that problem."
"Excuse me." Zhang Heng said.
"What's the difference between us doing this and those bastards inside?" Aris said seriously.
His words were like pouring a basin of cold water, which suddenly cooled down the lively and cheerful atmosphere, and the members of the patrol team who got the money looked a little embarrassed.
Especially the two young men who just joined the patrol team, probably because their ideals have not been wiped out by the terrible reality here, they bowed their heads in shame when they heard the words. , can't change the fact that this is a blackmail.
They, using their status as a patrol team, blackmailed Tie Shuao and his people, and got the money, just like Tie Shuao and his people collected money from those thieves. But the ironcuffs are villains, bad guys, and they can do this kind of thing with peace of mind, and the patrol team is the law enforcement of this area.
After all, they are different from the criminal organizations in this place, just because they have money, everyone subconsciously put this issue behind them, but now that this matter is brought up by Aris, everyone has to re-examine their roles in it role.
However, Zhang Heng, the person involved, didn't change his face. He nodded and said, "Good question, then I can ask you, what do you think is the most important duty of the patrol team?"
"Maintain the law and order of this place and arrest criminals." Aris replied without hesitation. As the captain of the patrol team, he was certainly no stranger to his responsibilities.
"No offense, but how were you doing before I came?"
Aris was silent when he heard the words, and he said again after a long while, "We didn't do very well, the bastard in iron cuffs was right about one thing, we were just walking around in this area before, those guys weren't afraid of us at all , practically no one is afraid of us.
"Because none of the residents here will cooperate with us. The entire patrol team is useless. We don't have enough manpower, and we don't have funds. We can't do anything. We can only watch this place getting worse and worse. As the captain, I have a great responsibility, and I even tell the new members not to meddle in their own business." Aris laughed at himself, "I know I look like a coward in your eyes."
The faces of all members of the patrol team that Aris said were sad. They knew the days before the patrol very well, and it can be said that Aris did not exaggerate at all.
"However, although life is a little bit harder, we can still live on, and we haven't done anything that violates the law."
"It's admirable, I'm serious, and given the circumstances you're in, it's pretty remarkable to be able to do this." Zhang Heng said, "But... if you really want to fulfill your duties, I'm afraid you will need to sacrifice a little Some of your own self-esteem and pride, you can’t make this place better by maintaining your own moral superiority, you have been here for so long, I believe you can understand the meaning of this sentence better than me.”
"I'm actually not a person who doesn't know how to work around," Aris frowned, "but apart from making our own pockets bulge by blackmailing the iron cuffs, I don't see how to make this place better. In fact, so much money has been lost, the iron cuffs It will definitely make the thieves under him commit crimes more crazily, in other words, the law and order in the three nearby streets will further deteriorate."
"For the time being, this is the case, but you don't think I came here just to help the patrols earn some pocket money, this is just the beginning," Zhang Heng said lightly, "When we have integrated all the big and small forces here, we will A new order and rules can be established.”
