Chapter 265: Potential to Become a Bandit Leader
Collecting protection money?
The people from Qishui Manor, even Yan Shilei and others around Zhou Yunshu were stunned.
"Aren't we just ordinary farmers?"
Someone in the crowd said doubtfully.
"Who said that!" One of the young men who had followed Yan Shilei to take down the Black Water Village said proudly, "We are all capable of destroying bandits. How could we be ordinary farmers?"
"So you mean we're bandits now too?"
"How should I know? Anyway, whatever the master says is what it is!"
Peng Tianhe excitedly said to the people around him: "When I first saw Mr. Zhou, I felt that he had the potential to be a bandit leader!"
"If you don't believe me, just look! It's only been a short time, and Mr. Zhou has already wiped out the bandits in Black Water Village. Now he's even crossing over to collect protection fees from us!"
He pulled the people around him and said happily: "When Mr. Zhou becomes the head of Haizhou, then I can become the second in command!"
Yan Shilei listened to Peng Tianhe's fantasies behind him and couldn't help but turn around and glare at him!
Zhou Yunshu definitely didn't mean that. Why was he messing around here?
Peng Tianhe thought Yan Shilei was unhappy with him being the second in command. He thought of Zhan Chuan, who was still in his own reed village, and Yan Shilei, who had been following Zhou Yunshu for a long time, and said, thinking he was being sensible, "Actually, I can be the fourth in command."
Yan Shilei rolled his eyes, and the person next to him laughed and said, "I've only heard of the first, second, and third bosses, but never the fourth boss!"
"What do you know? I have to show you how to be the fourth boss!"
When Peng Tianhe was muttering to someone behind Zhou Yunshu, the young man who had been favored by Zhou Yunshu and had followed Yan Shilei to Heishui Village came out first.
"Master, I'll go!"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded, "I remember your name is Pang Zhengqing."
Pang Zhengqing didn't expect Zhou Yunshu to remember his name. He said excitedly, "My master is me! I am willing to go through life and death for you!"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded, then waved to him.
Someone took the initiative to come forward, and most of the young people who had followed Yan Shilei to Heishui Village before stood up.
Not only that, young people who had never been to Zhuangzi before also stood up, fearing that they would be left behind, including members of the Wan family who were surrounded.
Now Wan Dahe is about to collapse, but there are many members of the Wan family in Qishui Village, and a few of them must stand up, even if it means sacrificing their own relatives for the sake of justice.
Zhou Yunshu was very satisfied with their awareness.
She looked at the young and strong men in front of her who were full of fighting spirit and said, "Very good."
"But I don't need so many people for now. I will pick thirty people."
Zhou Yunshu called Peng Tianhe and asked him to lead people to draw a circle in the open space that could accommodate about 100 people.
The young men were puzzled as to why Zhou Yunshu did this, but they all looked at her, waiting for her instructions.
Zhou Yunshu did not disappoint them. She stood on the box and said, "I'll count to three. Whoever runs into the circle first will be the one I use."
The young men standing there swallowed nervously when they heard this. They looked at Zhou Yunshu's mouth, waiting for the word "one" to come out of her mouth.
"three!"
Everyone was stunned. Those who reacted quickly ran towards the circle, while those who reacted slowly saw the people around them running away and hurried to catch up.
When the circle was full, the people who hadn't entered shouted to Zhou Yunshu, "Master, this is unfair! I was the farthest away from the circle, so I didn't get in!"
Zhou Yunshu didn't get angry at the doubts. She said, "Sometimes luck is also a part of strength."
Then she changed the subject, "I'm only bringing thirty people. I'll count to ten..."
Before Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, the young men in the circle had already started fighting.
I think I thought Zhou Yunshu would do the same as before, without even going through the process, and just count to dozens directly.
Zhou Yunshu spread her hands helplessly as she watched the young men fighting, then glanced at Chunque, who began to count from one to ten seriously.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, some people still wanted to rush into the circle, but they were all knocked out one by one by the third graders who Zhou Yunshu had instructed in advance with stones.
The people of Qishui Manor were already very wary of Zhou Yunshu because of what had just happened. Now that they saw that the person next to her was such a master, they finally stood there obediently waiting for Zhou Yunshu's instructions.
The young man with a fierce face in the circle restrained his fierceness after seeing Chu San repel the person who wanted to break into the circle without moving a step, and looked at Zhou Yunshu respectfully.
Perhaps the previous melee was too chaotic. Although Zhou Yunshu wanted thirty people, in the end there were only twenty-six people standing in the circle.
And among these twenty-six people, twenty-two had been to Heishui Village for training.
The other four people are Gan Zhiyong, Linghua's father Qi Sanshi, and brothers Wan Zhong and Wan Yi, who worked together to stay.
"Okay, including Pang Zhengqing, the twenty-seven of you will come with me."
Zhou Yunshu had no intention of adding more people. Adding people would be unfair to Gan Zhiyong and others who had worked hard to stay.
"I will give you one-third of the protection money I collected as a bonus."
After Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, the young men standing in the circle showed excited and sincere smiles on their faces!
They didn’t know there was such a benefit before they scrambled for the spots!
"Thank you, Master!"
The simultaneous shouts shook everyone. Zhou Yunshu looked at those around her who regretted not giving their all or who almost stayed behind. She said, "I'll take another twenty people with me when I leave Qishui Manor. You still have a chance."
This time Zhou Yunshu did not say how much the reward was. Sometimes the unknown is the most attractive.
Especially with the bonus of one-third of the protection fee already given, I believe the smart people in Qishui Village will definitely work hard for it.
As expected, after Zhou Yunshu said this, the eyes of both the people in the circle and those outside were filled with determination to win.
Zhou Yunshu looked at the people from Qishui Village whose mental state had changed in the blink of an eye, and dropped another heavy bomb.
"Anyone who belongs to my village will be given the opportunity to be released after every three major achievements or six smaller ones."
If the previous words made the people in Qishui Village's eyes light up, then at this moment their eyes seemed to be on fire.
No one wants to be a slave.
"Master, what you said is true!"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
But she was a little cunning.
Almost all the people in Zhuangzi have families with them. It takes some time to accumulate the merits of one person, and it will take even longer to accumulate the merits of an entire family to escape from poverty.
Zhou Yunshu is confident that even after they have accumulated enough merits and become free, they will still be reluctant to leave her side.
After all, the world is only a few years away from chaos.
