I'm the only player

Chapter 431 [Shameless]

At night, the leader who was in charge of inquiring about the bandit suppression of the Hundred Households had not returned yet. So, the subordinates immediately reported to the leader.

An ominous premonition loomed over the Black Tiger leader's heart. Then, he immediately rushed to He Sheng's courtyard with his close body, but unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.

After all, he was on duty at night and had already gone to the Hundred Households Office to report for duty. Unwilling to accept this, he went straight to the Hundred Households Office without saying anything, and he had to ask for an explanation today.

No one in Songlin County dared to mess with the Black Tiger Gang, let alone touch anyone from the Black Tiger Gang, let alone a leader of the gang!!
If he doesn't save his face, he won't be able to stay in the underworld.

"What are you going to do?"

The strong man who was on guard at the gate of the Hundred Households Office noticed a large group of people rushing towards them and immediately shouted.

This is the territory of the Shadow Division, the official residence of the emperor's personal army. Not to mention ordinary people, even if the county magistrate comes, he still has to be friendly.

"Go away!"

The leader of the Black Tiger Gang was used to bullying others in the county, and with his strong strength as his backing, how could he answer the questions of just two strong men?

"咻咻~~~"

Seeing them like this, the wrestler hurriedly blew the whistle hanging around his neck. Blowing the whistle is a technical job, and you need to practice with a sparring partner before you can take up the job.

For example, the whistle sound nowadays, others would just think it was a whistle. However, for the people in the Hundred Households Office, even the cooks knew clearly what it meant.

[咻咻] is a short, sharp whistle, representing an emergency warning. Next, a group of Black Tiger Gang members saw what a regular army was.

Almost at the moment when the whistle sounded, whether it was the captains who were on duty in the yard, the captains who were waiting for the small flags in the big room, or even the captains who were about to go off duty, they all came out in droves.

The general flag officer Wang Li, who was in charge, came out of the room and began to command everyone in an orderly manner. Even the small flag officers and captains under Zhang Shan were very obedient and followed his command.

Some of them climbed up the wide wall of the Hundred Households House under orders, holding crossbows and aiming at the Black Tigers below. Some of them pushed out the barricades from the warehouse, and several people worked together to carry them to the door of the Hundred Households House, blocking the entrance and preventing cavalry attacks.

Of course, the main function of the chevaux de frise was to block the main gate. Who would have the absurdity of sending cavalry to charge buildings in the city? The remaining lieutenants drew their swords and stood in the courtyard in a uniform formation, ready for battle.

In the formation, He Sheng was also standing obediently in front of the team. With him were four small flags under General Flagger Wang and three small flags under General Flagger Zhang. Two were missing because those two small flags went straight home after their duty.

When the leader of the Black Tiger Gang saw the captain of the centurion detachment holding a crossbow on the top of the wall, or the "small city wall", his eyes became clear almost instantly.

When I came back to my senses, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

It's going to happen!

This time he ignored it and led his gang to attack the Hundred Households Office, which was no different from rebellion. Fortunately, they did not take action, otherwise they would have been killed. The big backer behind them had no way to deal with it, and they could only die in vain.

"call out--"

"boom!!"

The flag flowers exploded, extremely dazzling in the dark night.

Afterwards, the captain, who had just returned home not long ago, heard the sound, took off half of his clothes and put them on again, jumped onto the roof, and ran all the way to the captain's office.

Damn, something happened in the institute.

"Stop!"

The captain on the wall shouted, and the Black Tiger leader stopped immediately. However, a large group of people approached him but did not stop, but stood in front of their leader.

In fact, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang doesn't need them to do so at all.

It’s just that, after all, he is the boss of the largest gang in Songlin County. If he doesn’t have some people around him, how would others know that he is a gangster who is not easy to mess with.

The close guards also knew this, so they showed it without hesitation when it was time to do so. Regardless of whether their boss needed help from others to block the arrows, they at least had to show that they were willing to risk their lives for the boss.

"Zhao Hu, are you fucking crazy? How dare you lead people to attack the Hundred Households Office? Don't think that your brother Zhao Long is lawless just because he is a county lieutenant. Believe it or not, I can shoot you into a hedgehog with one order!" Wang Zongqi, who climbed onto the top of the wall, scolded the Black Tiger leader who was protected by his gang members below.

That's right, Zhao Hu's gang was able to develop into the largest gang in Songlin County, and his brother Zhao Long made great efforts. If his brother hadn't been the county lieutenant, he would have been strong and had more than 300 soldiers under his command. When the Black Tiger Gang was growing, it would have been wiped out by other gangs in the county.

"General Wang, I was too reckless today. Tomorrow, I will present you with a big gift as an apology." The Black Tiger leader, who had come to his senses, lowered his attitude.

Today's matter can be big or small. If you are arrogant, it will be bad if you make it bigger. So, just lower your posture and find a way out. It will be good for both parties.

"Who are you calling brother? We, your brother and I are not on the same page, so stop trying to get close to us. If you can't explain clearly, there is no need for the Black Tiger Gang to exist."

Wang Zongqi scolded the other party like a grandson, and he felt so comfortable. Even though you are one of the top ten masters in the county, you still have to be a grandson in front of our film company, otherwise you have evil intentions and are planning a rebellion.

The Black Tiger Gang leader felt miserable and his chest felt like it was about to explode.

"Okay, today I'll ask the brothers in the Hundred Households Office to judge. He Xiaoqi from your Hundred Households Office borrowed 600 taels from our gang. This afternoon, a gang leader went to inquire about the loan, but he never came back.

I came to the Hundred Households Office just to ask where the gang leader was. Also, when will He Xiaoqi pay back the money? That's six hundred taels of silver, not six or sixty taels. "

As the words fell, a voice rang in my ears.

"I thought something was wrong. It turned out that the Black Tiger Gang leader came to call for punishment."

"?!"

A large group of people turned their heads together, and they didn't know when there was an extra person on the right. Looking closely, it turned out to be the highest-ranking centurion in the centurion's office.

When did you come?
The sweat on Zhao Hu's forehead became more and more dense. It seemed that there was a big gap between him and the other centurion. It seemed that only his brother Zhao Long could compete with him.

"Master Baihu."

"grown ups!"

The former was shouted by Zhao Hu, and the latter was shouted in unison by the people in the Hundred Households Office.

"Where's He Xiaoqi?"

"exist!"

He Sheng heard the voice of the captain outside and immediately replied.

"Come out, the Black Tiger Gang leader wants to pay you back."

"Yes."

In a blink of an eye, a man named He came out from the door in a carefree manner, walked around the barricades in front of the door and stood opposite the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

"He Xiaoqi, where is my brother Chen Cheng?"

"Who is Chen Cheng?"

"Stop playing tricks on me. Go find your people at noon today." Zhao Hu was so angry. It was such a late hour and he was still pretending to be confused with me.

"First of all, I'm not kidding. You can't just say someone's name and say that he went to see me and never came back. At least you have to produce evidence, right? Otherwise, I'm still saying that I went to see your mother!"

"."

If there were no centurions nearby who were watching closely, Zhao Hu would definitely pounce on the other party and kill him.

Evidence? Where can I get evidence for you?

They just came to you to get some information, it wouldn't be a big deal to let everyone in Songlin County know about it. Besides, they finally got some evidence against Xiaoqi, they were afraid that others would know about it.

"Okay, just treat my previous words as insanity. Then there must be nothing wrong with the IOU, right? Please take a look and see if this is the IOU you signed in person."

Zhao Hu took out two IOUs from his sleeves, one for 100 taels and the other for 500 taels. He had no choice but to do so. If he didn't need to give an explanation to the Hundred Households Office, it would be safest to hold on to the IOUs.

Now, if someone is forced to this point and refuses to admit his mistake, even if I lose a small handle, it doesn't matter.

I'm so angry. I must get out today.

As for offending the Hundred Households Office, let him offend, anyway, his brother, the county lieutenant Zhao Long, can handle it. At worst, do you really think that the other four masters in the gang are just eating for free?
"He Xiaoqi, what's the matter?" The captain glanced at the IOU and immediately knew why the other party would pay five hundred taels to buy the position of Xiaoqi that day. It turned out that there was a sucker who paid the money.

"Your Excellency, I don't know when I wrote the so-called IOU. To be frank, there are all kinds of people in Songlin County. It's really easy to imitate someone's handwriting."

After a pause, he said again.

"According to the rules of our Ancient Fish Country for borrowing money, a guarantor is normally required to prevent bad debts. Secondly, it is necessary to register with the government and register at the government office to prevent default.

Boss Zhao, may I ask who is the guarantor? Is there a record of me borrowing money from you at the government office? If yes, I will admit it. If not. Hehe. Do you think I should admit it?
It's not that I can't admit it. But if I show you an IOU from Boss Zhao, will you admit it? Otherwise, why should I admit it for six hundred taels of silver?"

"puff--"

Zhao Hu was so angry at He Sheng that he vomited blood. He was speechless after hearing his words. First of all, the guarantor, the captain, was named He. It was easy for him to get more than 50 taels of silver a year. In a good year, 100 taels was nothing.

For such a lucrative profession, who needs a guarantor? Besides, if you tell someone that you need a guarantor, they will just go and borrow money from other places, and you won’t make a penny.

In addition, registration and filing at the Yamen Gate?

You think the government office is a charity, and they help you register for free. Doesn't the pen and ink cost money? Doesn't the clerk write for free? It doesn't matter if it costs money, the two together are not much. The key is that registering at the government office requires an annual interest of two-fifths.

Registering once or twice might not be a big deal, but the important thing is that all the loans of the Black Tiger Gang are registered. That is an astronomical amount of money, and the county magistrate will be very happy. Who wouldn't be happy to get some money for free?

"Oh? Black Tiger Gang leader, do you have a guarantor and the registration documents from the government office?"

"."

If I had, do you think I would vomit blood?

Besides, I'm vomiting blood, and you're still bullying me?
"Boss, at worst we will admit it."

"I admit it, I admit it. I admit it, damn it, I admit it."

Zhao Hu cursed loudly, and the "recognition" he mentioned was referring to the IOU of 600 taels that the man surnamed He had just said he recognized. He also wanted to recognize the IOUs that others had produced.

This would "send the person away", but his Black Tiger Gang would definitely fall apart. Today, an IOU for 10,000 taels appeared out of nowhere, and tomorrow it would be 100,000 taels, 1 million taels, and there would be no end to it.

Denying it afterwards?

See if the Hundred Households Office can let him go.

Isn't it a bit naive to expect to get away with it after offending Yingsi so badly?
"I you. He."

Before he could finish his sentence, he vomited blood with a "wow" sound and passed out.

"Gang leader!!"

A group of close men hurriedly supported their leader, each of them extremely anxious. Zhao Hu, who was surrounded by the crowd, suddenly opened his eyes and blinked at several people.

Got it!
understood.

The gang leader is trying to find a way out for himself.

"Boss, please don't get into any trouble. We have thousands of Black Tiger Gang members, and they all rely on your shoulders!"

"We'll take you to the infirmary right away."

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone turned around and left, carrying Zhao Hu.

Thus, a farce ended in failure. On the ground, there were only two IOUs proving that the great leader Zhao had been there.

After seeing the members of the Black Tiger Gang walking some distance away, He Sheng suddenly took out the one thousand tael silver note he had received at noon from his sleeve.

"Brothers, I would like to thank you today. Today, I don't know what luck I had, I found a silver note of 1,000 taels at my doorstep. Whether you are on duty or off duty, Xiankelai will keep my account.

After eating and drinking, don't leave in a hurry. Go to Qunfanglou again, listen to some songs, and see what the difference is between Qunfanglou and the songs outside. Of course, it's still on my account. When I get off duty, I will settle it. "

Then, a cheer broke out.

He could have chosen not to pay, but everyone would definitely feel unhappy, and they couldn't explain why. Money, once you become stronger, is as easy to earn as eating and drinking, so there's no need to be stingy.

As soon as these words were spoken, exclamations were heard from the Black Tiger Gang again.

"Boss, what happened to you? Did you really faint?"

"Quick, quick, hurry and send the gang leader to the nearest clinic to the Hundred Households Office."

Black Tiger Gang leader Zhao Hu, KO!

"He Xiaoqi really knows how to behave."

"Master Centurion, please move to the room and talk."

After saying that, the two of them walked into the Hundred Households Office, one in front and one behind.

On duty?
No need.

Because when General Wang saw the two of them leave, he led the captains under He Sheng to patrol the streets. As subordinates, you have to share some chores with your superiors, right?

To be an official you must first be a good person, do you understand?

"Sir, I have no way to repay you for what you did today." One of the protagonists today, Mr. He, put a thousand taels of silver on the desk. If the centurion hadn't shown up today, Zhao Hu might have gone crazy and killed him without a care in the world.

"It's not wrong to say that you know how to behave."

The captain stretched out his hand to take the banknote away and said.

"The chief flag of the Zhenbei County Hundred Households was punished by the higher-ups for the bloody incident involving the escort, and now there is a vacancy. For one year, another chief flag will take over. When you are fully equipped, I will inform the higher-ups and transfer you to fill the vacancy."

That's it!

One thousand taels of silver were not spent in vain.

"You better be careful recently. Zhao Hu is a brainless reckless man, so he is not a concern. The main concern is his brother Zhao Long, the county lieutenant, who is as powerful as me."

My younger brother was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. As an older brother, how can I not stand up for him?
