Qiaotou Village is closer to the county town than Hexi Village, but the villagers here are not much better.

This place is close to the county town, so there are no exceptions of wealthy people from the county town to buy land. Gradually, the villagers in Hexi Village have fewer and fewer land, but more and more people, and life is getting harder.

However, for this reason, many people have gone to find another way. In Qiaotou Village, many young men and women will go to work in the county town to make money. Since Liu Heitou became more developed, many people have followed Liu Heitou.

These people who followed Liu Heitou said that they were working for Hongxing Gambling, but Hongxing Gambling only needed a dozen thugs in total, so how could they need so many people? In fact, they were working for Liu Heitou, making Liu Heitou more and more unscrupulous.

However, Liu Heitou is not stupid, and he never reaches his hand to the county town.

In Qiaotou Village, Liu Heitou is simply a local emperor. Therefore, when Jiang Zhen brought him a dozen or so people to Qiaotou Village, Liu Heitou's subordinates immediately came over.

"Brother!" The person who came was Liu Heitou's cousin. When he saw Liu Heitou, he shouted, and then looked at Jiang Zhen with caution.

He knew Jiang Zhen. He went to snatch He Qiusheng with Liu Heitou, and was beaten by Jiang Zhen. Why did this person stand with their elder brother today?

"Where is the gambling house?" Jiang Zhen asked a gambling thug next to him.

The gambling thug is actually a person under Liu Heitou, but he is a person under Liu Heitou, and even more a person under the gambling thug.

He opened his mouth and finally pointed in a direction and said, "It's there."

"Let's go." Jiang Zhen took the people there directly.

Liu Heitou built a big house in Qiaotou Village for people in nearby villages to gamble. This place is very different from Hongxing Gambling House. It looks chaotic and some people like to come here.

Moreover... Hongxing Gambling House is open in the county town. Even if it is open to ordinary people, many farmers are worried and dare not enter when they look at the tall portal. However, Liu Heitou is different here.

It's afternoon now, and it's also the most lively time for Liu Heitou's gambling shop. Many people have a few copper coins on their hands and have to come here to spend it all.

After taking a look at the gambling shop, Jiang Zhen and his men broke in directly.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Heitou's brother and his men stopped Jiang Zhen and were aggressively.

"Liu Heitou, what are your plans?" Jiang Zhen looked at Liu Heitou with a smile.

There are several reasons why he brought people here today.

A to establish authority.

He and Liu Heitou had something dirty before, and the people in the gambling house probably knew about it. If he didn't say anything at this time, the people in the gambling house would probably look down on him, so he needed something to establish his authority.

One is to subdue these thugs in the gambling house.

There are a total of nine thugs in the gambling house, three of which are from the county town, which has something to do with Manager Zhang and is not convinced by Liu Heitou, the thug leader, but the rest of the people are from Liu Heitou.

These people were in line with Liu Heitou's heads. Keeping them was not good for him, and it was impossible to drive them away all of them. So he simply brought the people here and took them to copy Liu Heitou's nest.

Like Liu Heitou, these people did not dare to offend the gambling house or leave the gambling house. They would probably follow him. When they helped him to copy Liu Heitou's nest, they naturally would not be able to stand on Liu Heitou's side, and they might even follow him wholeheartedly - they were definitely afraid that Liu Heitou would settle the score with them in the future.

Another one... is to make himself famous and let people know that he is not easy to mess with... Jiang Zhen looked around the people of Qiaotou Village around him and was in a good mood.

"Who is that person? Why is Liu Heitou following him?"

"What he brought was from Hongxing Gambling House, right? Those people all listened to him!"

"This person seems to be Jiang Zhen! It's the one from Hexi Village that the Liu family at the entrance of the village has been cursing every day."

"Why did he come here? Aren't you afraid of Liu Heitou being beaten?"

"What are he afraid of? Haven't you heard of it? Liu Heitou was injured twice before, but he was beaten by him."

...

The people in Qiaotou Village were talking and talking, and they started to talk, and their eyes were filled with awe when they looked at Jiang Zhen.

This is someone who dares to hit Liu Heitou!

Jiang Zhen was still smiling at Liu Heitou: "Liu Heitou, what do you want?"

Liu Heitou's expression became distorted again.

This Qiaotou Village is his territory. Now he wants to call someone to kill Jiang Zhen.

But he dared not.

He really had to do that, unless he left his hometown and went out to seek it, he would definitely not be able to make it in Hecheng County, and he would not be willing to let go of everything here.

"Jiang Zhen!" Liu Heitou gritted his teeth, a little harsh and cowardly.

Jiang Zhen glanced at Liu Heitou, and then said to the gambling shops behind him: "Turn out all the people who are gambling inside and copy the place for me!"

Seeing this, Liu Heitou's brothers and the people he raised were a little furious. They were waiting for Liu Heitou to give them a command to teach Jiang Zhen a lesson, but Liu Heitou said nothing.

"I am the manager of Hongxing Gambling House. Liu Heitou is from Hongxing Gambling House. It is a violation of the rules of Hongxing Casino. In the future, the casino must be closed and cannot be opened again." Jiang Zhen said.

In fact, Hongxing Gambling House does not have such regulations. Therefore, although Manager Zhang is a little dissatisfied with Liu Heitou causing trouble outside, he doesn’t care much. But nowadays, the rules are just the words of the people above?

But everyone in Qiaotou Village believed it.

If the guy in this cloth shop is doing a cloth business outside, he will definitely be kicked out of the cloth shop. Of course, it is not possible for Liu Heitou to do so.

Although Liu Heitou is quite friendly to the villagers of Qiaotou Village, the villagers of Qiaotou Village still don’t like him. Now seeing that he is in trouble, most of them applaud and feel relieved.

At the same time, he became more and more awe of Jiang Zhen.

Liu Heitou didn't dare to say a single fart in front of this person, and he still had to listen to him... Who is this?

Jiang Zhen did not take action, but only asked someone to get the account book of Liu Heitou, the small gambling house, and the silver inside. He himself leaned against the door and looked at Liu Heitou with a smile.

There was no vicious expression on his face, but Liu Heitou was still unable to resist when facing him.

Jiang Zhen has always looked at Liu Heitou on guard, but he also knew that Liu Heitou would no longer resist.

If Liu Heitou was ten years younger than that, and was the one who was so poor that he could not afford to eat, he would definitely resist at this time, but he had already changed. He could not bear to leave his family business, so he could only watch others cut his flesh on him.

"The gambling house won't ask for the money copied. We'll just divide it later." Jiang Zhen said with a smile.

Originally, there were still those who were not working hard among the thugs, but when they heard Jiang Zhen’s words, they were immediately like they were injected with blood.

Liu Heitou's cousins, their eyes turned red: "Brother!" This little gambling shop is their hard work!

"Then Jiang is so important to Mr. Zheng!" Liu Heitou gritted his teeth.

The Liu family knew Mr. Zheng, who was the one who even the county magistrate wanted to respect. If Jiang Zhen was valued by Mr. Zheng... what would they do if they really couldn't help Jiang Zhen?

Although Liu Heitou persuaded his brother, his heart felt like he was bleeding.

Jiang Zhen did not play according to common sense and did things too unexpectedly. He suddenly brought people here today, so he didn't have time to do any preparations and didn't have time to hide something.

He worked hard for a long time, but maybe he would get cheaper in the end!

Jiang Zhen was staring at Liu Heitou, and Brother Zhao was standing next to him, but he didn't know what to do.

He kept following Jiang Zhen, but he actually didn't understand what Jiang Zhen did, until now, he was confused.

Those thugs were moving things, and it was not suitable for him to stand alone. Brother Zhao hesitated for a moment and went to move things with those thugs.

Brother Zhao Jin had never done such a thing before. He was a little confused when he was doing it. His entanglement made him look a little unhappy because of the scars between his eyebrows.

When the thugs saw that Zhao Jin Ge was following Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen was talking to him with a smile in the middle, and they felt that Zhao Jin Ge must be the one with a face in front of Jiang Zhen, so they went up to find a relationship.

"Hey, brother, who are you in charge of Jiang?" said humane.

"Are you brothers from Manager Jiang? They are both the same tall and the same clothes they wear." Someone came over again.

Brother Zhao Jin didn't say anything. He was actually Jiang Zhen's wife and had just gotten married. However, at this time, it was probably impossible for those who said it.

No man would ever take his newlywed wife to work in a gambling shop or rob him... In fact, Brother Zhao Jin couldn't figure out what Jiang Zhen was thinking.

Jiang Zhen used to tease him and praised him for being good-looking. He was always happy to meet such a person, but now... Why does Jiang Zhen seem to be watching him completely as a man?

"What does Manager Jiang like like this brother?" The people saw that Brother Zhao Jin didn't say anything and asked again.

"Maybe... like money?" said Brother Zhao Jin.

"Yes, who doesn't like money..." Those people were satisfied: "Brother, you have to say good things to us in the future. Next time we invite you to drink! There are girls in Qingyang who are so handsome. Let's go to their place, and both of them will tell you."

Brother Zhao Jin froze: "..." Is he that not like Shuang'er?

By the way, there are too many bad places in this county town. He must have looked at Jiang Zhen, so he couldn't let Jiang Zhen find someone else.

After gritting his teeth, Brother Zhao Jin continued to work.

Jiang Zhen saw that Brother Zhao was doing things, but that was not a heavy physical work. It was much easier than the work that Brother Zhao had done before, so he didn't stop him. Even if someone talked to Brother Zhao, he didn't take it seriously.

He knew that Brother Zhao liked him very much, and the two of them had married. Brother Zhao was just talking to someone, what did he care about?

After a while, all the things in Liu Heitou's gambling house were copied out.

At first, Jiang Zhen thought that he might copy out some books that could be used to threaten Liu Heitou, but the facts proved that he was thinking too much.

How could a group of illiterate thugs write any account books? Among their group, only one is literate, and he usually doesn't write anything except various IOUs, and the words are even worse than Jiang Zhen's.

However, in addition to this, more than 600 taels of silver were found.

Liu Heitou doesn't like farming. His biggest source of income on weekdays is to lend money to others, and the more than 600 taels of silver is the money he used to lend money.

Jiang Zhen looked at it and gave the people from the gambling house that he followed and Zhao Jinge, fifty taels of silver. The rest of him was put away without hesitation, and said to Liu Heitou: "Liu Heitou, you can't continue to open this gambling house. Also, lending is a crime. You'd better be more obedient, otherwise... Mr. Zheng will definitely not let you go."

Liu Heitou clenched his fists and looked at Jiang Zhen. He was already angry. At this time, Jiang Zhen said to the people around Liu Heitou: "You follow Liu Heitou and hang out with the name of Hongxing Gambling. In fact, you are not from Hongxing Gambling at all. No one can protect you in the future, but if you follow me... Master Zheng plans to open a gambling house again and let me take care of it, I am short of people."

Jiang Zhen, this is coming to his place to poach his own place openly!

Liu Heitou was furious and went to see the subordinates he had gathered, and suddenly found that many of them were all excited.
