Chapter 202: Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth
To be honest, Peng Tianhe began to regret the moment he stepped into this yard.
Especially when that pretty boy came in and that thug-like man blocked the door, he felt like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Well, he is the sheep.
Not only Peng Tianhe had this feeling, but the four younger brothers behind Peng Tianhe also had the same feeling.
In fact, they are not as good as Peng Tianhe. When they looked at Zhan Chuan, if there were no other people around, they would have wanted to kneel down and beg Zhan Chuan for forgiveness immediately.
Zhao Laosan was more cunning, and he did not come in with Peng Tianhe and his group.
He straightened up and looked around, wanting to show off how obedient his son-in-law was, but no one around paid any attention to him. Only his wife came to him with a flattering look on her face.
Zhao Laosan looked at his wife's dark face and felt disgusted.
If he hadn't been a widower with two children, how could he have married such an ugly woman?
He stood aside with his hands behind his back, already thinking about how he could get some money from Peng Tianhe so he could go to the city and have fun.
Even if you can't afford to marry a young girl, it's good to go to a brothel for some fun.
While he was daydreaming here, Peng Tianhe in the yard felt his legs go weak when he saw the young man leaning against the red pillar with a knife in his hand.
He originally thought that the taller-than-average burly man was fierce enough, but it turned out that the man playing with a knife in the yard looked even more formidable.
These pirates were just ordinary people before they became pirates. At most, they knew some basic kung fu.
It is true that Peng Tianhe is the leader of the water bandits, but he is only the leader of the water bandits on the Heihe River. What he did most of the time was to rely on his large numbers to rob passing boats with knives, and to rob things from villages near the Heihe River.
In Haizhou, a place full of local tyrants, they are not even worth a sesame seed.
"You, what do you want to do!"
Peng Tian and the five people unconsciously leaned together, as if this would make them feel a little safer.
Zhou Yunshu walked forward with a smile, and Zhan Chuan followed her.
"Nothing, don't you want to ask me for two hundred taels of silver?"
Peng Tianhe looked at Zhou Yunshu, whose expression hadn't changed from beginning to end, and said, "It's good that you know."
"It's okay if you don't know since you're new here. I'll tell you."
Peng Tianhe fixed his eyes on Zhou Yunshu, thinking that he could catch Zhou Yunshu off guard, or rather, the strong man behind him off guard, and hold him in his hands.
By then, their lives would be in their own hands, and he didn't believe that this family would dare not give them money and let them leave safely.
Peng Tianhe looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "We have hundreds of brothers in our village!"
Well, before.
"That's nothing. We are also affiliated with the Black Water Village. Do you know the Black Water Village? It's the largest village in Dongchuan! And tomorrow is the day when the leader of the Black Water Village will marry his seventeenth concubine."
"If I can't make it, then..."
As Peng Tianhe spoke, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to pinch Zhou Yunshu's neck, who was two steps away from him.
As a result, when he was half a meter away from Zhou Yunshu, a hidden weapon pierced his palm. Before he could react, he was kicked out by the pretty boy he thought was incompetent.
This was not the end yet. The moment he fell to the ground, a long knife was pressed directly between his eyes, almost touching his face, piercing his head, and nailing him to the ground in the front yard.
An unpleasant smell of urine came, and Zhou Yunshu took a step back in disgust. If Sixteen hadn't been holding a knife, he would have wanted to take a step back as well.
Isn't this person a little too timid?
Zhao Shitou, who was half leaning against the pillar, looked at Peng Tianhe's miserable appearance with a sneer on his face.
Why didn't you kill him with one blow!
"Please spare my life, sir!"
"It has nothing to do with me. I didn't volunteer to be a pirate!"
"Please spare my life. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. I haven't married yet and haven't lived enough. I don't want to die yet!"
"Me too, please let us go. If you have any problems, just go find our boss. We are just a bunch of minions!"
Peng Tianhe was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word, and the four people following him immediately knelt down and begged Zhou Yunshu for mercy after he was scared to death.
Their voices were quite loud and the door was not closed, so many villagers from Dongwang Village outside heard them.
Just when they wanted to turn their heads to take a look, the door that was originally open closed in front of them. Not being able to see anything made them even more curious.
Just now, many people were going to withdraw from the practice, but now many people are hesitating.
From this perspective, the Zhou family is so powerful, and it would be nice to have a good relationship with them.
Zhou Yunshu in the front yard looked at Peng Tianhe speechlessly, and said to the four minions who kept kowtowing, "I don't want your lives. After all, I am also a reasonable person."
Peng Tianhe is not the only one who can "reason".
When Zhou Yunshu spoke this "reasoning". the four pirates were about to cry.
Every time their boss talks about reason, it means that someone is going to be in trouble.
They didn't want to hear Zhou Yunshu trying to reason with them at all. They just wanted to be a pirate in peace and have a good time every day.
Oh my God, why is it so difficult to get something for nothing?
Peng Tianhe was pulled up by Shiliu, and because his legs were weak, he also knelt in front of Zhou Yunshu.
"What's your name?"
Peng Tianhe raised his head with his trembling arms, and when he looked at Zhou Yunshu, there was no trace of his previous contempt.
She looks so thin and so easy to bully, how could she be a piece of iron? She doesn't look like an iron plate at all.
Peng Tianhe did not answer, and the younger brother beside him spoke for him.
"Our boss's surname is Peng, and his given name is Peng Tianhe. He asked an old scholar in the city to get it for him!"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and nodded, then said to the silent Peng Tianhe, "Boss Peng, do you want to replace the leader of the Black Water Village and become the boss of this area?"
When Zhou Yunshu spoke, she waved her arms to demonstrate to him. Her gesture of drawing a pie in the sky could be said to be quite skillful.
When Zhou Yunshu learned that there were bandits near Dongchuan, she thought about waiting for Yan Shilei and his men to come back after recruiting soldiers, and then catching them all in one fell swoop when they came out to collect protection fees at the end of the year, and at the same time establish her authority in Dongwang Village.
But now that the opportunity was right in front of her, Zhou Yunshu didn't want to let it go.
It seemed like a good idea to let Peng Tianhe, the former pirate, be her puppet and use his name to "expand her territory".
In this way, the Zhou family will not be involved on the surface, but the local tyrants in Dongchuan and the surrounding areas can still be gradually swallowed up, killing two birds with one stone.
From my observations over the past two days, I can see that people in Haizhou are still somewhat xenophobic.
Instead of letting those small local bullies join hands to deal with her, an outsider who wants to become a local bully, it is better to act directly under the banner of the local bullies.
"Boss Peng, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
