My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Novel - Chapter 82
Chapter 82: Rules
Su Wen walked up the stairs with Zhao Jin and Chu He behind him.
“Lord Su!” Sun Wei quickly stood up.
Behind him, the faces of the three gang leaders darkened.
Du Ping was the first to react. He immediately stood up and smiled. “So it’s Lord Su. We were just joking with him.”
Pa!
Zhao Jin stepped forward and slapped him. He cursed, “F*ck, do you think my young master is an idiot?”
Du Ping covered his face, but he did not dare to retort.
At this moment, Zhao Jin turned his head and instructed Chu He, “Do you see that? As a guard, we have to teach this kind of person who thinks he’s smart and has a relatively low status. We can’t let Young Master take action. We have to teach him a lesson ourselves!”
Chu He remained expressionless, as if he did not hear anything.
Su Wen sat down and looked around. There were no other customers on the second floor.
Sha Qinghe and Wang Dalong also stood up, before giving a bow.
Su Wen smiled and said, “The three of you sure have guts. Sun Wei has just been stripped of his job and you’re already thinking about his whole family?”
Seeing that Du Ping was being beaten up, no one dared to play dumb. Sha Qinghe hurriedly said, “We were wrong. We didn’t know that Lord Sun was under you, Young Master Su. We definitely won’t do it again.”
Pa!
Sha Qinghe was beaten up!
It was Chu He who had slapped him. It was the same slap that Du Ping had gotten!
Sha Qinghe’s face immediately swelled up.
Feeling wronged, Sha Qinghe groaned, “I’m telling the truth!”
Chu He turned to look at Zhao Jin and asked coldly, “Sun Wei isn’t Young Master’s person, so that guy’s determined to be smart. Is there a problem?”
Zhao Jin facepalmed and whispered, “Take a look first. Learn… don’t try!”
“Got it.” Chu He retreated to the side expressionlessly.
Only the aggrieved Sha Qinghe was left.
Su Wen smiled. “The new guard slipped his hand. Boss Sha won’t mind, right?”
Sha Qinghe endured the pain and smiled apologetically. “I don’t mind! It’s okay!”
Su Wen continued, “But what he said is right. Sun Wei is currently not my man, but I think he is not bad, so I plan to take him in as my subordinate. Although he is not part of the main family, he is still a servant of the Su family. Sun Wei, are you willing?”
Sun Wei quickly said, “This lowly one is willing!”
Sun Wei knew that he had to quickly find someone to cozy up to.
Furthermore, it would be even better if he could suck up to Su Wen.
Su Wen turned to the three gang leaders and smiled. “The three of you sure have guts. You like to kill people’s entire family, right? I’ll let you guys know something today. If I find out that you dare to take revenge on any of these guards who have been expelled, I’ll look for you. If you can’t give me an explanation or a conclusion, I’ll kill your entire family! Remember, it’s your entire family. I don’t care who did it, as long as I find out that someone is taking revenge on them and you don’t have a reason, then your entire family will be gone!”
The trio’s expressions changed drastically. This was too unreasonable!
What Su Wen implied was that no matter who took revenge, even if it was not the three of them, so long as they did not know what was going on, they would be blamed.
“Young Master Su… this… this is really making things difficult for us,” Wang Dalong said.
Su Wen looked at him from the corner of his eyes and coldly said, “Then do you think it’s not difficult for you to kill Sun Wei’s entire family? Even if it’s difficult, you have to do it for me! Otherwise, you can take all the scumbags under you and get out of the city!”
The three of them looked at each other in dismay. However, everyone knew that they could not win against him. Moreover, in front of Su Wen, they were nothing.
“Got it, Young Master Su. Should we leave now?” Du Ping probed.
He did not want to stay here any longer.
Su Wen glanced at the three of them from the corner of his eye and said, “There’s one more thing. From today onwards, I don’t care about your private businesses, but you have to remember a few of them. Firstly, regarding the brokerage business, you cannot steal, kidnap and snatch. It must be done willingly by both parties. If someone offers you a stolen good, you have to report it to the authorities immediately.
Secondly, it’s the same for prostitution. If I find out that you’re forcing a woman into prostitution, I’ll show you my ‘methods’ to deal with you. Thirdly, regarding the gambling dens, you’re not allowed to offer loans. These three are the rules I set for your business. If anyone breaks the rules, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Su Wen knew that there were many things that could not be put an end to.
This was an inevitable product of the times.
Even if he killed these three bastards, there would be new people coming up to replace them the next day. These private businesses could not be stopped.
However, at the same time, he could not allow them to do as they pleased. Otherwise, it would be a calamity for the commoners.
Du Ping, Sha Qinghe, and Wang Dalong’s expressions changed drastically!
Once the rules were established, the amount of money obtained would be greatly reduced.
To put it bluntly, the brokerage business would allow them to earn the difference in the price they sold it for. However, if one were to steal, kidnap, or snatch, the profits would be completely different. If the product was stolen, the price sold would be much lower. It was the same for private prostitution.
Lending out loans were mostly about loansharking. With high interest and the help of the gang members, money would naturally roll in.
Su Wen’s rule had cut off most of their funds.
However, since they were under the same roof, they had no choice but to lower their heads. In front of Su Wen, none of them dared to say no.
After hesitating for a while, the three of them nodded.
Su Wen continued, “Also, even if you guys follow the rules, don’t look for me if you get caught by the patrol guards. I can’t be bothered.”
To put it bluntly, Su Wen would not give these people the free pass. At this moment, the trio’s expressions changed again. Since they had to abide by the rules but could not be at ease, other thoughts immediately arose in their hearts.
Su Wen smiled and said, “Don’t panic. Since I cut off your path to wealth, I will also give you a new one. From tomorrow onwards, you can ask your subordinates to record all kinds of new information about the martial world and the capital every day. You can compile them and send them to Sun Wei.
As long as each piece of news is passable, I will give you ten taels of silver. But to be clear, if the news is repeated, whoever hands it over to Sun Wei first will be considered to have it.”
The trio’s eyes lit up.
After thanking him profusely, they took their leave.
After the three of them left, Sun Wei frowned and said, “Young Master, if you do this, I’m afraid these three people will deliberately come up a lot of useless information!”
This guy changed his character so quickly that he was already calling him Young Master.
Su Wen sneered and said, “That’s why I said that you’ll only get money if you get accurate information! As for whether the information is worth it or not, isn’t it still up to you to decide? Besides, most of the news spread fast. How many information pieces do you think we need to accept so they can get enough money?”
Sun Wei thought for a moment and said, “Actually, these people don’t have much spare cash on hand. Although they do dirty business and earn money quickly, they have a lot of subordinates and their expenses are also high. If each person can earn around 1800 taels of silver a month, that should be enough.”
“Then set 3,000 taels as the limit, and the sum given should average around 1,200 taels. You can decide the exact quota.” Su Wen looked at Sun Wei and said, “You are also from the public sector, but now that you have been expelled, it is impossible for you to enter the sector again, so just follow me.
Also, you have been in the patrol office for many years. From these people who have been expelled, pick some who are smart and hardworking and follow you. This salary will be based on the salary of the current Patrol Office.
Every day, you will carefully choose the information you want, and then you will divide the information into categories and send the useful information to me. Also, you have to keep an eye on the business of these three people, so that they won’t disobey my rules.”
