Chapter 830 Big Business
It was impossible to say that I was not afraid, because Soap didn't bring a single copper with me this time.
Black-tailed Snake was right. Their group had a good harvest this week, but then Thin Monkey's sister happened to get sick. As a result, they spent all the money they got for medical treatment, not just their own share. , and the part that should be handed over to the iron cuffs.
In the afternoon, they tried to snatch the little slave girl but failed, so Soap and the others could only come to see the iron cuffs empty-handed.
They could already foresee the tragic fate that awaited them ahead.
But just when they were about to fall into despair, Zhang Heng expressed his willingness to point out a way out for them. Soap didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse to go down this road, but they seemed to have no other choice but to bite the bullet. Went into the tavern.
Tonight, Blackwater Bay is basically filled with Tie Shou and his men. In addition, there are thieves from the three nearby streets. Most of them are imps like Soap and Skinny Monkey. They come to report to Tie Shou this week. Work, and hand over most of the hard-earned money in iron cuffs.
Although they complained about this matter in private, no one dared to disobey it, because they all knew the consequences of angering the iron cuffs. The poor client never appeared again, so the remaining people were dissatisfied no matter how dissatisfied they were. They can only pay the money honestly.
Fortunately, they have lived here since childhood and have long been accustomed to similar things. This is a cruel world where the big fish eats the small fish. Whoever has the biggest fist is qualified to speak, while the people at the bottom can only accept it.
Before tonight, the four of them were members of the bottom class, and many thieves knew about the illness of Sister Skinny Monkey. They saw a look of sympathy in the eyes of the four of them, but this sympathy was not It didn't last long before disappearing, and many people couldn't help but gloat about it.
After all, thieves like them usually make a living on these three streets. Sometimes they cooperate with each other, but most of them are in a competitive relationship. Besides, fat sheep are rare in this place. Often, one target is targeted by several groups at the same time. situation occurs, it is impossible without conflict.
But it seems that after tonight, their opponents will have one less person.
"Hey, you guys are here. I thought you ran away, so we can only wait until we finish what we are doing and then visit your home."
The speaker was a dwarf who managed his property specifically for Tie Shao. When Soap and the four of them came in, he was sitting in the arms of a waitress, telling her some joke. As a result, the waitress was amused and laughed. It’s also a feast for the dwarf’s eyes.
He kissed the waitress on the cheek, then jumped off the latter's body, walked to the soap, stretched out a hand, "Great, since you are here, then pay."
"I...we don't have any money." Soap said these words tremblingly, and he could hear his teeth chattering.
"No money?" The smile on the dwarf's face gradually disappeared, "That shouldn't be the case. I heard that your harvest this week was pretty good."
"Yes, but all the money was spent on my sister's medical treatment." Thin Monkey said, not wanting to see Soap bear this pressure alone, and swallowed.
The dwarf sighed, "You have been in this business for a long time. You are considered old people. You should know the rules and so on. Of course it is a big deal for your sister to be sick, but you can't use other people's money to treat her. Wherever you put this matter, it’s your fault.”
"I, we will find a way to repay this money later." Thin Monkey said hurriedly, "For the sake of the fact that we have made so much money for the iron cuff boss, just give us another chance."
"Okay," the dwarf nodded and said cheerfully, "We are not unreasonable people. Even if you deceive us first, the iron cuff boss is still willing to believe you again. After all, you are the best thieves in the three streets around here. ."
Skinny Monkey and the others all showed joy when they heard this.
They didn't expect that the iron shackles, which were always known for their cruelty and harshness, would become more reasonable this time. The thieves around them looked surprised when they heard this.
But then they saw the dwarf take out a dagger from his arms and insert it on the wooden table.
"But there is a small problem. We only have three forgiveness quotas this time, so it seems that you may have to make a choice." A vicious smile flashed in the dwarf's small eyes.
The four soaps were shocked when they heard this, but the other thieves were relieved when they saw it.
Sure enough, this is still the iron shackles they are familiar with. As long as they make mistakes, they will pay the price.
Now, all the eyes in the tavern were focused on Zao Zao and his team, wanting to see what they would choose in the end, but then they heard Zao Zao say, "Wait a minute, although we don't have the money, I still have a lot of money here." You can discuss business with the iron cuff boss."
Until now, he finally made up his mind and stopped wavering. He knew that when he said these words, it meant that he had completely broken with Tieshao and his group, even though Soap was very doubtful about the success of Zhang Heng's business. Whether the negotiation can be completed, but now that the matter has come to this, he can only play the role Zhang Heng asked him to play honestly.
"Business?" A look of amusement appeared on the dwarf's face, "What kind of business can you four thieves do? Or is it just to delay time?"
As a result, a strange voice sounded in his ears the next moment, "What he said is true. He really has business to discuss with your boss."
The dwarf was a little surprised. He didn't know where the oriental man in front of him came from. In fact, he couldn't even recall how he walked into the door of the tavern. Moreover, he didn't recognize him and didn't know why this guy wanted to intervene. Things within them.
On the other side, Black-tailed Snake and his men, who were drinking sullenly, changed their expressions when they saw Zhang Heng. They blurted out, "Why is it you again?!"
"What, do you know each other?" The dwarf was stunned when he heard this and looked in the direction of the black-tailed snake.
What happened this afternoon was really too embarrassing for the Black-tailed Snakes. Seven people were beaten to pieces by one of them, with bruises and swollen faces. Naturally, they didn't want to tell anyone else about it, and considering that Zhang Heng was not from here (mainly because They really couldn't beat them), they also gave up the idea of regaining the ground, and decided that peace was the most important thing, so they swallowed their breath.
As a result, I didn't expect that the other party's ghost was still there, and he actually chased him all the way to this tavern.
Black-tailed Snake suddenly felt aggrieved. He didn't know Zhang Heng's purpose tonight. He just thought that the other party was coming for him. He thought to himself why this person was not trustworthy at all. He had obviously promised to let them go before, but this was half the journey. Did you regret it and come back? Even a gladiator champion can't be so treacherous, and he is too small-minded. The person who was beaten didn't have any objections, but the person who beat him came to the door first.
