The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

The already dilapidated door was kicked open, and after shaking a few times, it fell to the ground and retired gloriously.

Then three sloppy-looking men came in. Judging from their clothes, they didn’t look like rich people. Compared to them, the only thing they had on their clothes was the lack of patches.

The three of them looked fierce, but they were grinning.

"Hey, brothers, the food is good, right?" The leader had a very obvious scar on his cheek, which made his fake smile even more hideous.

His eyes lingered on the food bag, and his nose was sniffing the smell hard.

The two people behind quickly responded in unison.

"Brother Scar, I saw it with my own eyes. These two guys bought such a big roast chicken and a bunch of delicious food, but they didn't even mention honoring you."

"That's right, Scar Brother. A few days ago they said they didn't have money to pay the protection fee. It was only out of your kindness that you gave them a few days' leniency, but they didn't take you seriously at all."

After the two of them fanned the flames, the man known as Scar Brother looked even uglier.

He looked around and there was no place to sit, not even a chair in the entire room.

The two henchmen were very smart and squatted down at the same time and stretched out their hands to make a human chair for him. Scarface sat on their arms with a calm look on his face. It seemed that this was not the first time this had happened.

Ling Yueqing leaned against the wall with her arms folded, looking at those people showing off their power. Well, there are gangsters everywhere.

"Scar brother, we really have no money. We were really hungry. We happened to meet a kind-hearted person who gave us some food. We thought we would go to work after we were full and quickly earn money to pay you protection money." Dashun said with a frustrated look on his face.

Ershun was so scared that he hid behind Dashun.

It’s not that they haven’t resisted before. When they first came here, they ignored Scarface and pretended to be fierce gangsters. In the end, they were beaten into submission by a group of people.

What can I do? If I don't resist, I have to pay protection money. If I resist, I have to pay protection money even if I get beaten.

They could only follow Scarface. Every time they earned money, they had to pay protection fees first, and then they could buy food with the rest. Sometimes it was not enough to pay, and they had to owe money.

"Don't talk about useless things. You have money to buy food, but no money to pay protection fees? If there is a kind-hearted person, ask him to help you pay the protection fees."

Scarface stood up and waved his hand impatiently, "Go search and see if there's anything hidden on him."

Dashun was about to let them search when he suddenly remembered that the silver Ling Yueqing had given them had not been spent yet and he had not had time to return it to her, so he began to struggle vigorously.

The two men were even happier when they saw him struggling, as it seemed that he had hidden a lot of good things.

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" He slapped Dashun in the face.

"Ouch, my God!" After a cry of pain, Dashun felt that he was fine.

When I opened my eyes, I saw two people rolling on the ground with their hands clasped. There were red marks on their hands from being hit by objects.

"Come out, who is playing tricks!" Scarface looked around and finally set his eyes on Ling Yueqing.

At this time, Ling Yueqing was playing with a small stone that she had just picked up from the ground.

"Who are you?" The boy was thin and weak, leaning against the wall, and no one saw him.

"He's collecting protection money." Ling Yueqing raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"Who are you to collect protection fees? You've come to my territory?" Scarface rushed over with his fist raised and a ferocious look on his face.

Dashun and Ershun were about to go over to stop them when they saw this. They had not forgotten what they had just said: they were the kind of people who would go through fire and water for their brothers.

Before they reached Ling Yueqing, they saw Scarface lying on the ground with a look of pain on his face, crying out in pain.

Everyone present was staring at Ling Yueqing in amazement. How could this little man, who looked like a chicken, knock the strong man like Scar Brother to the ground?

Ling Yueqing said that she had no pressure in beating up the scum. Although she didn't have much strength in her body, these people weren't martial artists and only had some brute force. She just needed to use clever strength and beating them would be like playing.

Ling Yueqing walked towards the few people with a smile.

"Don't come over here. We won't collect protection fees from you. We're leaving now." Scarface motioned for the two men to help him up and were about to walk out.

"Wait." Ling Yueqing stopped them with a smile.

Several people looked alert, "We promise that we will never come here again!"

"Have you forgotten what I just said? I'm collecting protection money!"

"How much?" Several people stammered. They had been catching eagles all day and had their eyes pecked by them. This was the first time that someone had charged them protection money.

Ling Yueqing turned to look at Dashun and Ershun who were dumbfounded. "How much did they charge you for protection?"

"Two hundred coins a month"

"How many times have I taken you in?"

"Thirteen times." Er Shun blurted out without any hesitation.

He remembered it clearly, and every night he would fantasize about suddenly mastering extraordinary martial arts and rushing to the door to ask for the protection fee back. If he could save the money he paid, he couldn't imagine how cheerful and lively he would be.

"How much is the total amount?" Ling Yueqing was too lazy to calculate, and she didn't know how different types of money were converted in this world, and whether it was the same as in ancient times in history.

"The whole number is three taels of silver." Er Shun knew that the number should be rounded up.

Ling Yueqing looked at the scarred man and the others, "Did you hear that? The protection fee is rounded off to ten taels of silver."

Several people's eyes widened instantly.

What? Didn't you just say three taels? How come it became ten taels when it came out of her mouth?

They looked at each other, and one of them looked at Scarface in disbelief and asked, "Scarface, how much did she say?"

Before Scarface could say anything, another person took over and said, "Is there something wrong with your ears? Can't you hear me?"

"There's something wrong with your ears!" He just couldn't believe it.

"Stop arguing, all of you." Scarface endured the pain and turned around to kick each of them.

"My brother, please leave some room for me so that we can meet again in the future. Don't push your luck when you're out there, don't be too pushy, what do you think?" Scarface's tone was gentle but threatening.

"I'm not just going one foot further, I'm going a dozen feet further!" Ling Yueqing wasn't afraid at all, she kicked these little minions one by one.

"Pay the protection fee and get out of here. I will protect this place from now on. Anyone who dares to come here should think about how much money he has in his pocket to pay for the protection fee."

"Warm reminder, the amount may not be the same next time!" Ling Yueqing crossed her arms and looked at the few people.

Scarface seemed to be in deep thought for a while and said, "Take out all the money you have." He could still take out this amount of money. After all, they had many places to collect protection fees, not just this one.

"Scar brother, are you really going to give it to us? If others find out, how will we survive in the future?" one of them advised.
