Chapter 832 Don’t Go Too Far
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, the tavern fell silent, and all the previous laughter disappeared.
Black-tailed snake, dwarf and others all took a breath. The patrol's move was too cruel. They couldn't handle the cases that had already happened because no one cooperated with their investigation, but they were still able to stop the crimes that were taking place. .
At least that's the case in the iron shackles' territory. After all, the actual people responsible for earning income are just some brats who haven't yet reached adulthood.
And as Zhang Heng said, if they are determined to patrol the three streets, then the twelve people in the patrol team can completely make all the thieves on the three streets have no business. Tieshao and his men will naturally That means nothing is gained.
But, why does this always feel so weird?
Yes, the group of people in front of Tie Shao are obviously the patrol team, the law enforcers in this area, but now they don't talk about any laws. No, they should talk about the law in words, but in fact they use the laws given to them by the law. They use their power to seek personal gain. They are no longer acting as guardians of the law. They are no different from other gangs in this place.
What kind of business is this? It's just blatant extortion.
No matter what words Zhang Heng used to describe their actions, they could not hide their true purpose - the patrol was ready to take advantage of others.
It stands to reason that Iron Man and Dwarf have always lived here, and they are no strangers to things like intrigue. In order to survive and not be annexed by other forces, they often need to pay some protection fees and donations, but the problem is that this time they come to them. The people were actually patrols.
For a moment, Iron Man, the dwarf and others had a thought in their minds. Has the neighborhood we live in really fallen to this level? Even the patrol team has engaged in extortion. As criminals, they even began to rarely care about the spiritual and cultural construction of the surrounding area.
Everyone in the tavern had their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a long time.
When they came back to their senses, everyone's eyes gradually focused on Tie Xue's face. It was obvious that he, as the boss, needed to speak out.
However, Tieshao is also hesitant now.
The patrol has been a mascot for a long time. No one paid attention to them before, and they didn't take them seriously. However, now this group of guys who have no sense of existence suddenly show their fangs and want to turn over and ride. This is difficult for Tieshao, the dwarf and others to accept emotionally and in terms of face.
But Tie Xuan knew that what Zhang Heng said was true. His business was quite special. Once the patrol team targeted them, it would be difficult for those thieves to steal any more money. Let alone the patrol team deliberately targeting them, even if they were just in Having three streets to walk around will also make it difficult to steal, and their income will definitely be significantly reduced by then.
What should I do? Do you want to take action?
In terms of numbers, they have an advantage. Even if we don't count the thieves, the number of Iron Cuff's men is twice that of the patrol team, and there are many good players among them. As for the patrol team, except for one Aris, they need to pay attention. The inexperienced Easterner in front of me should not be a problem to win if he takes action.
But the question is what happens next?
No matter how miserable and useless the patrol team led by Aris is, they are still serious law enforcers in this place. If they are beaten up, they will definitely be embarrassed, but will they attract more powerful guys? After all, this is not the only patrol team. They are scattered in various places in the city and gathered together. It is hard to say whether they can capture this place, but there is obviously no problem for small characters like Tang Ping Tie Xuan and others.
After all, Tiezhao and the others are just low-level bad guys living in the slums. Their vision and thinking are limited. How could they know the dirty things in the patrol team? Aris and his group are like marginalized people who were exiled. Besides, even if he knew, he couldn't be sure. After beating Aris and the other patrols' reaction, even Aris himself didn't know about this problem, and he didn't want to know, because in that case most of them would be dismissed.
Although their current life is miserable enough, they still have a meager salary to support themselves and their families. If they lose this job, they may have to completely integrate with this place.
Therefore, Aris and the others were also very nervous when Tie Shao hesitated. One hand was already on his weapon, and Tie Shao's subordinates beside them were also ready to move, just waiting for the boss to give the order to deal with these unruly people. A patrol member who knows the sky is the limit.
The situation in the tavern became tense, but Zhang Heng remained calm. He even leaned back, waiting for the iron cuffs' answer.
Tieshao noticed the black-tailed snake winking at him, and seemed to want to tell him something. However, Tieshao did not have time to discuss anything with his most reliable subordinate at the moment, because he had been silent for a long time. He must speak now, otherwise the other party and his subordinates will see the wavering in his heart.
"Thirty percent is too much."
Tieshao finally chose to resolve the matter through peaceful means. After all, they were a small force and did not want to have a head-on conflict with the patrol. Tieshao felt that they had made a big concession and it was time to enter negotiations. .
However, what he didn't expect was that the Eastern man sitting opposite shook his head when he heard this.
"Thirty percent, not even a copper penny less."
"That's impossible. Not all of this money is in our pockets." Iron Mancuffs almost jumped up, but he finally suppressed his anger and explained, "Almost half of it is mine. It has to be handed over to the forces above, we can only take half of it ourselves, and I still have so many subordinates to support, so I will give you a maximum of 10% of the patrol team."
As soon as he finished speaking, some people on the patrol team couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Looking at the life of Tie Shao and their subordinates, it was obvious that their lives were much better than those on the patrol team. Even if they took 10% of the money, it would still be worse than the patrol team. They earn more now.
The patrol team wanted to agree on the spot, but they didn't expect Zhang Heng to still say, "Thirty percent, there is no need to talk about this matter."
"Don't go too far." Iron Cuff finally couldn't bear it anymore and said solemnly.
"Too much? We are a patrol team, helping to maintain law and order on the streets. What's wrong with catching a few thieves?" Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "It seems that you haven't understood the situation yet. From now on, you can't do anything without our permission." Our business will no longer be able to continue, and we won’t be able to make a single sesterces. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to cooperate with us, I believe there are many people under your command who are willing to cooperate with us.”
