Chapter 68 Tiger Run Casino
Chapter 68 Tiger Run Casino (Please read it~)
Just when Chen Ping'an, Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu were on the verge of a showdown, Zeng Ji ran back from the errand room.
"Chentou, we are in trouble!"
Once upon a time, I had a sad face.
"What's wrong? Where are you assigned?"
Chen Pingan had been prepared for this. As soon as the donation came out, he knew it would not be easy. To put it bluntly, it was Zheng Chatou from the Pacification Department who was trying to make things difficult for him!
Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu looked at each other with a look of gloating.
They had already learned about the distribution of the donation money from Zheng Shiyong. When they first learned about it, they were just as sad as they had been before. However, Zheng Shiyong had already made a promise that he would solve their problems as long as they followed his orders.
With Zheng Chatou backing them up, they would naturally believe what Zheng Shiyong said.
"Tiger Run Casino!"
Zeng Ji looked depressed. This Hupao gambling house has always been the most difficult to collect donations from! According to the practice of previous years, such forces are led by the most senior official officers to collect donations.
Even so, it won’t be enough to collect it all after one or two attempts!
"It turns out to be the Tiger Head Gang!" Chen Pingan nodded with a calm expression.
"Boss Chen, aren't you surprised?" Seeing Chen Ping'an like this, Zeng Zhi became curious.
"Everything depends on human effort! There's nothing to be surprised about!" Chen Pingan waved his hand: "Oh, by the way. Where is the confiscation certificate?"
Collecting donations is not a matter of randomness. There is a fixed amount every year, and it needs to be collected according to the receipt.
"They haven't given it to us yet. They said they will give it to us tomorrow morning!" He felt even more depressed when he said this.
The other squads of officers had all received the confiscation certificates. Only a few families hadn't received them yet, and they were among them!
How can this be justified?
"How many days is the collection deadline?" Chen Pingan asked.
"Three days." Zeng Ji responded.
"Yeah." Chen Pingan nodded and fell silent.
That’s a good idea!
The collection period for the donation silver was originally only three days, but the collection certificate would not be issued until tomorrow, which meant that he had wasted one day of his time. It was difficult to confiscate the Tiger Run Casino, so wasting another day was a big deal.
But it doesn’t matter!
Chen Pingan remained calm.
Not to mention anything else, his current fourth level of martial arts realm of Qi and blood has given him tremendous courage and confidence.
When Qi and blood reach the fourth level, courage will naturally arise!
"Chentou, what should we do next?" Zeng Jihe asked.
"Are there any patrol missions today?"
"No."
"That's not bad!"
Chen Pingan nodded.
"In that case, let's go to the Tiger Run Casino first!"
"it is good!"
Once upon a time, I readily agreed.
After that, the two were ready to leave. However, Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu stood there lazily, with no intention of leaving.
"You two?" Chen Pingan frowned.
"Officer Chen, my two brothers have something to do later, so we won't go!" Cheng Yuan stretched lazily.
"What could be more important than collecting donations?" Chen Pingan asked.
"Officer Chen, didn't you hear what Xiao Zeng said just now? The confiscation certificate can only be obtained tomorrow. What does going to the Hupao Casino today have to do with collecting donations?" Cheng Yuan asked back.
"Okay! If something goes wrong, don't regret it!"
"If you don't regret it later, then don't bother the officer Chen."
Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu said with a wry smile.
After glancing at the two of them, Chen Pingan didn't waste any words with them and turned around and left.
"Bah! Boss Zheng is right, this guy is a coward!"
Looking at the direction where Chen Pingan left, Cheng Yuan spat fiercely.
"This is an official duty! I can do it a thousand times better than him!" Zhao Hu responded jealously.
Typical I-can-do-it-yourself mentality.
"Tou Chen, it's just the two of us. Are we really okay?" Zeng Ji asked worriedly along the way.
"It's okay." Chen Pingan walked quickly with a calm expression.
"Boss Chen, Hupao Casino is the most important industry of the Hutou Gang. It won't be easy to collect the donations! Judging from their attitudes just now, they probably won't come tomorrow. If they don't come, you and I will be outnumbered!"
I thought Chen Pingan had misunderstood what he meant. What he wanted to say was that it was very troublesome for just the two of them! Although the Tiger Head Gang was not a dangerous place, it was not easy to get benefits from them!
Especially, Cheng Yuan, the only one among the four of them who has learned martial arts, may not go yet!
If the Tiger Gang really wanted to mess with them, they could just send out a few of their minions to give them a drink. If things got really serious, the Tiger Gang would just say a few words and push the blame onto the temporary workers, completely shirking their responsibility.
"Didn't Chief Zheng just say that? This donation is of great importance. If there is any mistake, there will be no tolerance! Even if Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu don't go, we have to get it done!"
Chen Pingan said calmly.
In fact, the donation silver was a matter for the four of them. If Chen Pingan was not satisfied and confiscated the donation silver, Cheng Yuan and Zhao Hu would not be able to escape responsibility!
Even so, they are still so confident. Zheng Shiyong must have made some promise to them.
Hey, this little Zheng is really generous!
The Hupao gambling house is on Hupao Lane. Chen Ping'an had come here several times before. When he killed the ruffian Liu'er, he also came here once at night.
Walking on Hupao Lane, people were still coming and going, and it was very lively. In addition to gamblers, the majority of people here were gangsters and ruffians. However, since the two men were wearing the uniforms of the Zhenfusi officers, no one dared to provoke them.
There are many gambling houses in Hupao Alley, and Hupao Casino is the largest one among them.
"This is it, Mr. Chen." Zeng Ji said, pointing at the gambling house sign in front.
On the plaque, there are a few big words written: Hupao Casino!
There were a few servants standing at the door of the gambling house. Although they were wearing gambling clothes, they looked like hooligans from the Tiger Head Gang at first glance.
Several servants saw Chen Ping'an and Zeng Jiji standing at the entrance of the gambling house and were about to come forward to greet them. Then they saw a man in official uniform turn around and leave, and the other man was caught off guard and followed closely until he reacted.
"Why are the officers from the Pacification Office coming here?" a younger servant asked curiously.
"It should be a matter of voluntary donations of silver." The older servant said with a smile.
"Donation of silver?"
"Yes. Once a year, if you count the time, it will be these days this year."
"I see."
"But it's strange, why are there only two people this time? According to the usual practice in previous years, there should be at least four people! If the collection is not going smoothly, it is normal to have ten or so officers coming!"
"Just come and take a look, I see they've left again."
"That should be the case. You stay here and I'll go in and report first. I estimate that they will come in the next two days."
"."
After several servants talked to each other, a more experienced servant ran in and reported what had just happened to the leader.
"Tou Chen, why are we leaving?" Zeng Ji was a little confused.
"Do we have a receipt for the seizure?"
"No."
"Then why are you staying there!"
"This" Zeng Ji wanted to say something, but couldn't. He thought Chen Pingan came here specially to inquire about the door first and prepare for the collection of donations tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he didn't even enter the door! If so, what are they doing here! ?
However, I soon found out why.
"Xiao Zeng, we've been to this Hupao gambling house before. Since the Zhenfu Division has no patrol missions arranged for us today, let's go back first!"
"Chen, where are you going back to?" Zeng Ji asked blankly. He felt that he couldn't keep up with the pace.
"Go home! Where to go?"
"what!"
this.
The donation money will be collected tomorrow. Shouldn't they do more preparation today and think of more plans to lay a solid foundation for tomorrow?
But Chentou this.
You have such a good attitude! Not nervous at all! ?
It's a bit casual!
When Zeng came to his senses, Chen Pingan had already gone far away.
Instead of spending this little time, I might as well go home and practice martial arts and spend time with my sister!
As for the plans of Zheng Shiyong and Zheng Chatou, he didn't take them to heart at all.
Conspiracies and tricks seem ridiculous in the face of absolute strength!
He just needed the right opportunity to solidify his reputation as a martial arts genius.
Isn't this an opportunity?
Everything depends on tomorrow!
