Chapter 850 The Dust Has Settled

No one expected that this gang gathering was initiated by the Jewish gang and united with the three major forces in the southeastern city to try and sanction the patrol team headed by Zhang Heng for their recent actions. It was clear that the people who came were evil. In the end But just put it down gently.

Everyone who was waiting to see the patrol's joke was dumbfounded.

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhang Heng poured into Lockyd and others on the second floor. In the end, the three major forces basically recognized the scope of influence that the Patrol has gained so far, including Soap’s gang and the Anti-Patrol Alliance, and the Jewish The three major forces headed by the Gang also acquiesced to their existence, which made Soap and others relieved.

In addition, the three major forces did not prevent the patrol team from continuing to expand in the southeastern city, but they agreed on a maximum number of patrol teams, one hundred and twenty people. This number also made many people take a breath. Although this was only a medium-sized gang However, considering the special nature of the patrol, expanding to 140 people would definitely become a nightmare for all gangs except the three major forces.

Fortunately, Lockyd still took care of the emotions of most small and medium-sized gangs, and reached a series of agreements with Zhang Heng, strictly limiting the rights of the patrol team, and just finding an excuse to break up a force like before. It should never happen again, and the patrol team will then return to their duties of maintaining law and order in the neighborhood.

Of course, considering the special circumstances of the southeastern city, almost every gang is engaged in criminal activities, and it is impossible for the patrol team to catch them all. Therefore, it is accurate to say that the patrol team handles some sudden or relatively vicious criminal incidents and investigates them. At that time, the forces in the corresponding territory also need to provide help.

In addition, from now on, all forces must ensure order on their respective territories. Once the chaos reaches a certain level and affects the lives of ordinary people around, the patrol team will also intervene to deal with it.

This clause was of course intended for Zhang Heng to improve his political performance, but no one knew whether it also had Lockyd’s meaning. As we all know, Lockyd was from a lower class background, and no one knew the lives of the lower class people in this neighborhood better than him. What is it like? He has been wanting to do something for the lower class people living here for a long time. But sitting in his position, he needs to consider all aspects. Some things are not easy to do by himself, so he has not tried it now. I have no intention of doing anything with the help of the patrol team.

…………

In just half an hour, Zhang Heng and Lockyd argued over a series of important issues, testing each other's bottom line, each showing their trump cards and compromising with each other. In the eyes of ordinary people, such a scene would be somewhat boring, because There is no eye-catching battle, but for those involved, this negotiation is far more exciting than a fight on the street.

Lockyd, the uncrowned king of the Southeast City District, has been firmly in control of the initiative from the first word he spoke. He doesn't speak much, but every word is meaningful, and at the same time he keeps giving. Zhang Heng applied pressure.

The boss of Golden Crown has known him for a long time and has a tacit understanding with him. Their biggest advantage is that they know the southeastern city very well. In addition, a hive provides them with information, which also gives the two old men a considerable position in the negotiations. The advantages.

But what surprised Lockyd was that despite this, the Eastern man across the table hardly fell behind in this negotiation, both in terms of appearance and actual content.

He was alone in an environment surrounded by enemies, but he was still able to remain calm from beginning to end and talk to the three most powerful forces in the southeastern city. His sophistication made Lockeed even suspect that he was not This wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this, but considering his age, it seemed a bit ridiculous.

Lockyd remembered that when he was Zhang Heng's age, he was just a little-known member of the Jewish Gang. Just seeing the boss of the Jewish Gang from a distance would make his legs tremble, but the young man opposite him could stand among three people. He responded calmly under his gaze.

But Zhang Heng on the other side was not relaxed either. Although he had made a lot of preparations before, he found that he still underestimated the legend of the southeastern city.

Lockyd was much more difficult to deal with than he expected, so Zhang Heng also realized that his previous plan to integrate all the forces in the southeastern city might have to be changed. Although he could still replace Lockyd if he wanted to, this meant that he Spend more energy and time in the southeastern urban area.

This time, the situation was different from that of Black Sail. At that time, whether Zhang Heng was seizing the Jackdaw or becoming the King of Nassau, he was all about survival. But this time, he focused more on skill learning. Zhang Heng's main target is the library of Balanced Blade filled with assassin tomes.

The southeastern city is just a transition. Even in order to cultivate his own power, Zhang Heng does not want to invest too much in this matter, so he is also willing to accept Lockyd's proposal and instead seek a situation where multiple parties can coexist stably.

However, Zhang Heng would not reveal his bottom line prematurely during negotiations. On the contrary, he still maintained a considerable aggressiveness, especially when he realized that Lockyd was willing to meet him because he hoped to find new political allies. , after helping the Jewish gang to eliminate the blood-sucking nobles attached to the southeastern city, Zhang Heng found that he had more chips than before.

Therefore, the subsequent negotiations between the two became more and more intense.

When Lockyd and Zhang Heng reached an agreement on the last important issue with difficulty, the old man picked up the wine glass on one side and said, "Although you are from outside, I have to say that you have There are also some inherent characteristics of the people who live here, they are competitive and grab whatever they can."

Zhang Heng also raised his glass after hearing this, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you look at it. If I were twenty years younger, I might want to have a good confrontation with you a few times, not just at the negotiating table." Lockyd drank himself He stood up from his seat with the help of his granddaughter.

On the other side, the boss of Golden Crown, the man from Xikabri, also stood up.

Lockyd put down the empty wine glass, "Next, let's leave the time to the young people. You can discuss the specific details with my granddaughter, and we old people will not disturb you."

After Lockyd finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs with the boss of Golden Crown and the waiter next to him. After all, he was old. Although he showed his domineering attitude in the negotiation just now, he also showed a trace of his old attitude in the end, and the main deal was finalized. After asking the question, I no longer had the energy to argue with Zhang Heng on the details.
