48 Hours a Day

“We had a wonderful memory before, but I didn't come to see him tonight, so relax," Zhang Hengyang turned his eyes around the tavern and eventually landed on a black man in the corner.

He looked like an ordinary drinker, not surrounded by his men like a black-tailed snake, not like a dwarf beauty, and the food on his desk was very sour, only half a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine, and he didn't look like a big man.

And then Zhang Heng said, "Looks like you're handcuffed. ”

“Why do you say that? I don't think we've met before.” Negroes questioned.

“The only reason you're sitting in the tavern is because you're the furthest away from the others, or vice versa, and obviously they're all afraid of you, and the other dwarf just subconsciously wants to look in the direction you're sitting in, and of course, the main reason is because the soap tells me what you look like and other relevant information. ”

Zhang Hengton went on, "You were a slave, ran away a few times, but you were all caught back, handcuffed, and suffered a lot, and your nickname came from it, and one day your former owner was found dead in his livestock shed, stabbed in the back of his heart by a fork, and they doubted you, but because there was no evidence, it couldn't be done. The son of the former owner sold you to another family, and two years later your new owner had an accident, but he made a will before he died and decided to give twenty slaves freedom. You were lucky to be one of them, and then you moved here after freedom, and you started out as an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop, but it was hard to earn money, so he quickly strangled a group of people and took control of all three nearby street thieves in the name of protection. Tell them to pay you regularly. Am I right? ”

“How dare you show up for them if you know who I am?” The eyes of the iron cuffs cooled down, sweeping the soap from the side of the eyes of four people, who for many years felt suddenly having trouble breathing and could not even stand.

“I'm not here for them, like he said before, we're here to talk about a business.” Zhang Heng heard that he went straight to the iron cuffs, pulled the chair opposite him and sat down.

“We?” The iron cuffs caught the point.

“Yes, me and my twelve brothers, for courtesy's sake, I'll say hello first, they're still standing outside waiting, and if you don't mind, I'll let them in.” Zhang Heng found an empty cup and blew the ashes in it, then picked up the bottle and poured it on himself.

“Twelve people, I'm afraid, are not enough.” Iron cuffs hummed the channel.

“No, enough, after all, we're just here to talk business.” Zhang Heng smiled and said to the skinny monkey, "Let them in. ”

Skinny monkeys peeked at the iron cuffs, and he could see that they were in a bad mood, presumably thinking about killing again, but the skinny monkeys had no choice but to go out and notify Alice and others knowing that they would be furious with the iron cuffs.

In fact, waiting for Alice outside is also nervous now. He has been in charge of policing the area for so long. Of course, he knows the size and power of the place. When he sees the sign of Blackwater Bay, he knows it's iron cuffs and his people. Alice doesn't understand why Zhang Heng came here to make money.

There's really no money to be made in this place, and it's long overdue by iron cuffs and his people.

Fortunately, Zhang Heng did not have a fight in the time he went in, but when the skinny monkeys came out to let them in, the other members of the patrol still couldn't help but play drums in their hearts. Finally, Alice took the idea, "Here they come, we can't leave now. In any case, we are also the patrol here, we can't be afraid of the gang forces here. ”

Others couldn't help but mumble in their hearts. If we weren't afraid, why did we put our nostalgia first, but they threw up and followed Alice into the tavern?

And when their figure appeared at the door, the atmosphere in the tavern was also nitrogen.

Previously, the patrol's presence in the area had been very low, and Alice knew that the patrol's trout dates were simply too complicated to cover the situation, so wisely chose to keep a low profile, but after all, their identity was there and they were the only armed force in the vicinity to maintain law and order, therefore, those present did not ignore them.

Iron Cuffs shocked, “Did you report the incident? ”

“No, I'm on the patrol.” Zhang Heng smiled.

“Are you on the patrol? But I haven't seen you before. Are you new here? What business are you talking to me about?” Soon after the initial shock, the iron cuffs calmed down. After all, this is his territory, and although he is engaged in criminal causes, he is not afraid of patrols, and nobody is afraid of patrols like mascots.

Without the help of the local forces, these patrols would not be able to open an investigation even if they were reported, because no one would cooperate with them at all, they would not have caught even thieves for so long, and it would be a disgrace to even have thieves swinging to their premises to steal from them.

“Big deal," Zhang Heng drank the wine in his hand, dropped the cup, “enough to earn 30% of your current income,” then he looked at the soap, “let's talk to him. ”

Since Zhang Heng sat opposite the iron cuffs, the soap has been praying for both of them to forget him, but now it does not seem that his prayer has been effective. The sight of the iron cuffs has fallen back on him again, and the soap can only harden its scalp and say, “Businesses, business… very simply, the patrol can help to keep the three streets safe, and all you as local residents will have to do in the future is give thanks for 30% of your income. ”

“Are you guys kidding me? A mouth is like walking 30% of my income.” The iron cuffs laughed furiously. He really wanted to hear what the big business Zhang Heng had been hanging around his mouth. He found out that they weren't lying. It was really a big business up to 30% of their existing income, just that they paid others.

“Open your eyes and take a good look. Do you still need to maintain security on these three streets? Your men are less than half mine, and look at you, you don't even have proper armor, what's the difference from a beggar on the side of the road, so thank you, the patrol is kind enough for us, we can manage our own land. Come on, you can keep circling around this place. ”

Iron handcuffs also triggered a joyous laugh in the pub. There was no other way. The patrol's waste image had become famous here. In the last two months, they had not even solved a case. They had even watched criminals swing away from their eyes, because neither the passers-by nor the victims were willing to testify and the evidence had been destroyed.

Iron handcuffs also make a lot of patrol members blush. Although they have lived here for a long time, they are still law-enforcers, a bit of the dignity of law-enforcers. Of course, they are offended by such insults, but the bias is irrefutable, and even some people start to blame Zhang Heng.

Look at what he said before about how much money he earned, and it turns out he's just letting the patrol come and humiliate himself.

Zhang Heng did not speak, until the laughter in the tavern was slightly smaller, not slowly heavy and said, “Okay, you have scolded us, but as law-enforcers, we do not count these things. We still do what we have to do, we will help you to maintain law and order around here. ”

“Are you guys so cheap? I just said I wouldn't give you a penny.” Iron cuffs grin.

“I heard you, but I'm sure you'll change your mind, because from tomorrow onwards, our patrol will only cover three blocks around here. You're right, this shithole is too big, we don't have a lot of people. I think it's time to pick a point, 12 people, three blocks, and just work during the day. Rest assured, we can take care of it this time. I can assure you that all the crimes on these three streets are invisible. Of course, it's none of our business after work. ”
