Chapter 1088: We’re Reasonable People
Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Dafeng and Xue Rong looked at each other and gripped the things in their hands even tighter.

She turned around and said to Bian Han, “Stay further away later, in case I hurt you.”

Bian Han also knew his own situation. Now was not the time to show off, so he nodded and whispered, “Be careful and try to stall for time until Yundong comes. Didn’t they say that the local tyrant here is afraid of her? Let’s use Yundong’s name to scare them.”

Gu Dafeng thought for a moment. “But I don’t think they’re very smart. I’m afraid they won’t believe me.”

As they spoke, the local boss was already impatient. “Why? What are you discussing? Let me tell you, it’s useless no matter what you say. Anyway, you have to pay the protection fees. Don’t say that you have a backer. If you have a backer, you won’t come to Xingtao Street to rent a house. You won’t have to bargain with the owner for just 0.2 tales of silver.”

Gu Dafeng, who was about to say that she had a backer, was speechless. How could I accept this? Can’t I rely on myself and be thrifty?

The boss continued, “I don’t want much either. How about one tael of silver a month?”

Gu Dafeng gasped. “One tael of silver? Why don’t you rob?” Their rent was only one tael of silver, okay?

“Heh, we’re all reasonable people. Why would we rob? That’s the work of bandits. Don’t say that I tricked you. You can ask around. The rent in the nearby streets and alleys is more than two taels of silver. This is the prefectural city. This Xingtao Street is not remote. The owner rented it for one tael of silver to you because he knew that you had to give us another tael of silver to protect you, right?”

Little Six and the other lackeys cheered from behind. “Yes, Boss is right. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people nearby if we’re doing a good deed.”

Gu Dafeng and the other two were speechless.

However, at this moment, a neighbor who was watching the commotion outside said, “Yes, yes. Just give it to him. I’ll be at peace after giving it to you.”

“If you don’t give it to me, you’ll lose things in the future. Your things will also break.”

“You rented this house for one tael of silver? That’s really a huge bargain. It’s reasonable to give one tael of silver to buy peace.”

Gu Dafeng and the other two were so angry that they almost fell to the ground. What kind of bargain was this? What did he mean by taking advantage? He actually believed the words of a local bully. He was simply crazy.

Of course, there were also different voices. “You can’t say that. This courtyard is not big. One tael of silver is not a small amount. If you give them another tael, they will lose…”

Before he could finish speaking, a few local tyrants turned their heads in unison and sneered at him.

The person who spoke turned pale. He quickly lowered his head and silently dodged to the back.

There were also others who agreed with this point of view. At this moment, they did not dare to speak.

These local tyrants said that they had collected protection money to protect them, but in fact, they had not done anything at all. They just did not steal. They did whatever they wanted. If someone accidentally bumped into them on the way, they would still beat them up.

The boss finally lost his patience. He suddenly stood up and kicked the chair behind him away. He said to Gu Dafeng and the others, “Hurry up. I still have to go back and push the cards. If you waste my time again, do you believe that I won’t be able to sleep peacefully in the future?”
