Chapter 60: Destroying the Family
Chapter 60: Destroying the Family (Please Read~)
"Xiao Zeng, you just saw it. Chen Pingan is just an ordinary person with better luck. There is nothing to praise about his character, skills, courage and bravery. Why are you so polite to him?"
After Chen Ping'an left, several people walked on the way back to Nanquanli Lane Zhenfu Division. Cheng Yuan said to Zeng Jihe with disdain on his face.
"Yes, Xiao Zeng, I think you should just come with us. The three of us can work together to isolate him!"
Zhao Hu chimed in. To be honest, when Zheng Shiyong tried to win him over yesterday, he was a little scared. But he reluctantly agreed to it for the sake of Zheng Chatou's face. However, after meeting him today, all his concerns were gone.
It was exactly as Cheng Yuan said, just an ordinary person who got lucky. He hadn't even started martial arts!
"Brother Cheng, Brother Zhao. Although that is true, he is, after all, an official official registered in the Pacification Division! It will not be good for us to offend him."
Once upon a time, my foundation was still shallow and I didn't want to cause any trouble.
"Who said there are no benefits! Do you know who is behind us?" Cheng Yuan said.
"Officer Zheng?" Zeng Ji said uncertainly.
"That's right! It's Officer Zheng! As long as Chen Ping'an can be isolated, Officer Zheng has made a promise. He will definitely find a way to arrange jobs for us that are lucrative but demanding, and he won't treat us unfairly. Xiao Zeng, if you get involved, you will definitely get some benefits too." Cheng Yuan said patiently.
"Xiao Zeng, you also know who is standing behind Officer Zheng! You don't have to worry about anything happening! With that person in the top position, we don't have to be afraid if anything goes wrong. Besides, we are just isolating Chen Pingan, so what trouble can he cause? Don't worry!" Zhao Hu added.
"Ah, this..." Zeng Ji was a little moved after hearing it, and looked hesitant.
"Xiao Zeng, why are you still hesitating? If you accomplish this, you will have a firm foothold in our Nanquan Lane Pacification Division. Moreover, you can also get in touch with Zheng Chatou. Others can't even ask for such a good job! You have this opportunity in front of you, but you don't cherish it!"
Cheng Yuan looked at Zeng Jishi, who showed an interested look, and gave another weight.
Once upon a time, he was conflicted, struggling between his conscience and his desires.
Just when Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu thought he was going to agree, Zeng Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Cheng, Brother Zhao, this is too big, can you let me observe for a few more days!"
"Hesitating like a woman!"
Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu looked very disappointed with each other.
"It's useless even if I give you a chance!"
"Hehe." Zeng Ji laughed dryly. He didn't want to offend Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu, but he also didn't want to offend Chen Pingan. He made a judgment after just one day of contact, and he still felt a little uneasy. So he decided to wait and see.
When Chen Pingan came home from work, Chen Erya had already prepared a delicious dinner. Before leaving, Chen Pingan asked Chen Erya to buy more meat. The meal tonight was indeed very sumptuous!
After taking off his sword, Chen Pingan began to feast on the meat on the table.
After dinner, Chen Pingan first practiced the Flying Locust Stone. The Flying Locust Stone consumed less physical strength than the Thirteen Swords of the Public Sect. Chen Pingan practiced it four times in a row and accumulated 4 points of practice experience.
Just as Chen Pingan picked up the knife and prepared to practice the Thirteen Swords of Publicity, a scream was heard from the street outside the door.
Chen Ping'an's expression changed and he put down his sword. The screams outside the door sounded familiar to him.
At this time, Chen Erya also stood up, obviously she had heard the screams coming from the street outside the door. Chen Pingan gestured to Chen Erya, telling her not to speak. Then, Chen Pingan jumped lightly, but held the courtyard wall tightly with both hands, and looked out from the wall.
At the southeast end of the street, there were many people gathered, and screams and pleas for mercy could be heard from time to time.
Chen Ping'an thought about it, then let go of his hand and jumped down to the yard.
"Nannan, wait for me at home. I'll go out and take a look."
"Yeah." Chen Erya nodded.
Although she was curious, she knew the importance of it.
Chen Ping'an walked out of the yard and saw the huge crowd from a distance.
It was Uncle Gao's house in the southeast corner! As he got closer, a flurry of chatter entered his ears.
"A few days ago, I was wondering why Mrs. Gao's family was so prosperous! It turned out that she had borrowed money from loan sharks!"
"They dare not pay back the usurious loan from the Tiger Head Gang! The Gao family is really bold!"
"Okay, okay, just say a few words."
"What a sin!"
"Hey"
"."
At this time, Chen Pingan also squeezed into the crowd. He saw that several hooligans from the Tiger Head Gang were surrounding a man, punching and kicking him. It was Uncle Gao.
A woman was crying and trying to rush forward, but was held back by neighbors. Behind the woman was a half-grown child, looking terrified.
The door of Uncle Gao's house was wide open. From Chen Ping'an's point of view, the tables and chairs were scattered everywhere, making it a mess. It looked like it had been searched.
Uncle Gao, borrowing from a loan shark?
Chen Ping'an's mind flashed back to the scene where Uncle Gao excitedly rushed into the gambling house in Hupao Alley.
This old uncle Gao was probably addicted to gambling. He may have won a few small games at the beginning, but he became more and more addicted to gambling. In the end, he borrowed high-interest loans from the Tiger Head Gang to make a comeback. In the end, he was unable to repay the money and ended up in this situation today.
Hey!
In response to this, Chen Pingan couldn't help but sigh.
However, no matter what, it is always wrong for the Tiger Head Gang to beat people.
Just when Chen Ping'an was hesitating whether to lend a hand, the crowd seemed to have encountered some ferocious beast and quickly made way.
I saw the burly and strong Little Tiger from the Tiger Head Gang walking out from outside the crowd with a few hooligans.
"Don't fight yet, stop!"
Hearing this, several hooligans stopped immediately.
"Thank you, Master Xiaohu. Thank you, Master Xiaohu." Lao Gao knelt on the ground and kowtowed frantically, as if he had met a savior.
Little Tiger Master walked up to Lao Gao without any haste and said slowly, "Lao Gao, don't say that I, Little Tiger Master, am unreasonable. If you pay me back the twenty taels of silver you owe me today, this matter will be over!"
"Twenty taels of silver!" Lao Gao suddenly raised his head, his nose and face swollen: "Master Xiaohu, please understand, I only took twelve taels of silver!"
"Oh? You don't want to admit it." Little Tiger Master took out a piece of paper from his arms: "It's written in black and white. It says twenty taels! The rule of my Tiger Head Gang is nine out of ten and thirteen back. Counting the interest these days, twenty taels of silver, that's right!"
"Ah! This, Little Tiger..." Lao Gao opened his mouth to defend himself, but the thug next to him kicked him hard on the back, causing him to fall to the ground with his mouth full of blood.
"Still want to cheat!?"
"Don't be so violent!" Little Tiger waved his hand. He squatted on the ground and looked at Lao Gao: "Lao Gao, I'm talking about the silver. Why don't you pay it back today?"
"Master Xiaohu, even if you sell me, I don't have the twenty taels of silver!"
Lao Gao had a sad face and cried out in pain.
