I Have 48 Hours a Day

Chapter 831 It’s None of Our Business After the Work Is Done

"We had a good memory before, but I'm not here to find him tonight, so relax," Zhang Heng said to the black-tailed snake who was facing a formidable enemy, and then his eyes moved around the tavern. circle, and finally landed on a black man in the corner.

The other party looked like an ordinary drinker, not surrounded by his men like a black-tailed snake, nor like a dwarf beauty in the arms. Moreover, the food on his table also looked very shabby, only half a loaf of bread and a stick of bread. Bottle of wine, he doesn’t look like a big shot.

However, Zhang Heng said later, "It looks like you are in iron cuffs."

"Why do you say that? We must have never met before." The black man asked.

"You are the only one sitting farthest from other people in the tavern, or conversely, other people are afraid to approach you. Obviously, they are afraid of you in their hearts. The other dwarf just subconsciously wanted to go in the direction where you were sitting. Look, of course, the main reason is because Soap told me your appearance and other relevant information."

Zhang Heng paused and continued, "You were a slave before. You ran away several times, but you were captured, put in 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 livestock shed with a pitchfork pierced through the back of his heart. They suspected you, but in the end they let it go because there was no evidence. 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 were lucky to be one of them. After you were freed, you I moved here and worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop at first, but it was difficult to make money. So I quickly formed a group of people and controlled the thieves in the three nearby streets. In the name of providing protection, I kept them regularly. I’ll hand you the money, am I right?”

"Since you know who I am, how dare you stand up for them?" Tie Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at the four soaps on the side. Under the power they had accumulated for many years, the four of them suddenly felt breathless and could hardly stand. Unstable.

"I'm not standing up for them. As he said before, we came to you just to discuss a business." After hearing this, Zhang Heng walked straight to the iron cuffs, pulled out the chair opposite him, and sat down. Go down.

"We?" Iron Cuffs got to 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 someone He blew the ash inside the empty cup, then picked up the wine bottle and poured himself some wine.

"Twelve people, I'm afraid it's not enough." Iron Cuff snorted.

"No, that's enough. After all, we are just here to discuss business." Zhang Heng smiled and said to the thin monkey, "Let them come in."

The thin monkey took a peek at the iron cuffs. He could see that the other party was in a very bad mood now. He probably even had thoughts of killing people again, but the thin monkey had no choice. Knowing that it would further anger the iron cuffs, he had no choice but to run out and inform Ali. Si et al.

Aris, who was waiting outside, was actually very nervous now. He had been responsible for the security of this area for so long, and of course he was very aware of the big and small forces here. When he saw the signboard of Blackwater Bay, he knew that there were iron shackles and His man, Aris, didn’t understand why Zhang Heng came here to make money.

If there was really any money to be made in this place, it would have been all made by Iron Man and his people.

Fortunately, there was no sound of fighting when Zhang Heng entered, but when Skinny Monkey came out to let them in, the other members of the patrol couldn't help but beat their hearts. In the end, Aris made the decision, "Come on We are all here, so we can’t turn around and leave now. After all, we are also the patrol team here, and we cannot be afraid of the gang forces here.”

Others couldn't help but murmured in their hearts when they heard this, if we weren't afraid, why would we put not being nosy in the first place before? But complaints were complaints, and they followed Aris into the tavern.

And when their figures appeared at the door, the atmosphere in the tavern was suffocated.

The presence of the patrol team in this area has been very low before. Aris knew that the patrol team alone could not solve the complex situation here, so he wisely chose to keep a low profile, but after all, their identities were placed on the agenda. There is the only armed force nearby that only maintains law and order, so everyone present knows them.

Tieshao said in surprise, "Did you report the crime?"

"No, I'm from the patrol team." Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Are you from the patrol team? But I haven't seen you before. Are you a new member? What kind of business are you talking to me about?" Tie Xuan quickly calmed down after the initial shock. After all, this is him. Although he is engaged in criminal business, he is not afraid of patrols, and no one here is afraid of patrols who are like mascots.

Without the help of local forces, these patrol teams would not be able to launch an investigation even if they receive a report, because no one will cooperate with them. They have not even caught a thief for so long, and some thieves even walked into their house with great arrogance. Stealing things while stationed is simply a disgrace to the patrol.

"Big business." Zhang Heng finished the wine in his hand and put down the glass. "It's enough for 30% of your current income." Then he looked at Soap. "It's up to you to tell him the specific content."

Zao Zao had been praying that the two of them could forget about Zhang Heng ever since he sat across from Tie Shao. However, it seemed that his prayers had not taken effect. Seeing Tie Shao's eyes falling back on him again, Zao Zao could only Neng could bite the bullet and said, "Sheng, business... it's very simple. The patrol team can help maintain the security of these three streets, and as local residents, you only need to give 30% of your income as a thank you in the future."

"Are you kidding me? It's like you're taking away 30% of my income." Tie Xiao laughed angrily. He originally really wanted to hear what big business Zhang Heng had been talking about, but it turned out that the other party was I'm not lying, it's indeed a big business worth up to 30% of their current income, but it's just what they paid to others.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. Do you still need to maintain the security of these three streets? Your manpower is less than half of mine. And look at you, you don't even have decent armor. You are no better than the beggars on the roadside. What's the difference, so thank you, we appreciate the patrol's kindness, we can manage our territory ourselves, you should continue to circle around this place."

The iron handcuffs' words also triggered a burst of joyful laughter in the tavern. There was nothing I could do about it. The patrol team's image of trash was already well-known here. In the past two months, they had not even solved a single case. They had even watched criminals swaggering around. He walked away from his eyes because no one, either passers-by or victims, was willing to testify, and the evidence was destroyed.

The iron cuffs' words also made many patrol members' faces turn red. Although they have been living in a coward here, they are law enforcers after all, and they still have a bit of dignity as law enforcers. Of course they are angry at being insulted like this, but they are still angry. There was no way to refute, and some people even started to blame Zhang Heng.

Seeing as what he said before about making a lot of money was true, the result was that the people from the patrol team came over and humiliated themselves.

Zhang Heng didn't speak until the laughter in the tavern subsided a little, then he spoke again slowly, "Okay, although you scolded us, as law enforcers, we don't care about this. We should do what we should do." Things still need to be done, and we will help you maintain law and order around here."

"Are you so mean? I just said I won't give you a penny." Tie Xiao sneered.

"I heard it, but I believe you will change your mind, because starting from tomorrow, our patrol scope will only be the three streets around here. You are right, this ghost 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 be able to take care of it this time. I can guarantee that all crimes on these three streets will not be hidden. Of course, after the work is over It’s none of our business.”
