Since signing an agreement with He Lingchuan and being employed by Yuheng City, Qianjinzhai, the largest gangster in Longchuan, has suddenly become a gangster, enjoying official status and steadily collecting road tax for dozens of days.
When the merchants saw these water bandits standing at the checkpoint holding licenses to collect fees, their eyes almost fell out of shock. If the Yuheng defenders were not nearby, they might have turned around and ran away.
The person surnamed He is right. It is really comfortable to receive money like this. There is no need to show off at all. People just smile and hand over the money willingly with both hands.
Collecting money under the guise of an official is justifiable.
After Qianjinzhai signed an agreement with the Qiuhua Gang, they told Longchuan to tell other gangs to stay away from their tolled roads so as not to cause trouble.
After so many days, only the Xiqiao puppet army did not give face. They robbed Dao'er twice, and succeeded once. The other time they were stopped by the defenders of Qianjin Village and Yuheng City, and they were beaten until blood flowed all over the ground.
But generally speaking, it is much more cost-effective to defend Dao than to rob Dao. Even Shoudao'er's casualty compensation is paid for by Yuheng City.
What did Commander He actually say?
Work injury report, that is, public reimbursement.
With Qianjinzhai and the Qiuhua Gang doing this, other small gangs had no chance of survival, so they simply imitated the big gangs and surrendered to Yuheng City.
However, Tao Lin always felt that the atmosphere in the village was a bit strange today. Many people gathered together and whispered, but when they saw him, they stopped talking and their eyes flickered.
Even when he went to relieve himself, there were always a few eyes following him behind him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Tao Lin finally couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at everyone casually: "Tell me! What's going on? Everyone is staring at me with stern looks! What's the matter? I haven't had any work to do recently, so I'm holding you back?"
His prestige in the village is not low, everyone looks at each other in disbelief, no one wants to be the one who stands out.
Finally, someone pushed the lame man in front of the door and whispered: "Liu Laizi, what you saw, you come up!"
The lame man's leg was broken during a robbery three years ago. Since then he has been unable to ride a horse, so he can only stay in the village as a groom, foraging hay and cleaning horse manure all day long.
Tao Lin's eyes narrowed: "Come here! What did you see?"
