Seeing Zhang Susu's expression first became surprised, then it turned into a surprise. Ouyang Ye realized that he had probably misunderstood the meaning of that finger, but he didn't care, and he was not ready to regret it.

In his heart, it was not too much to give the third-level warrior a thousand taels of settlement.

After all, they join the gang to do blood licking at the edge of the knife and work hard for him, and there are only a handful of warriors in Babei.

It was only in the past or two that Zhang Susu had become interested in joining the local gang again and did not have a deep understanding of the local gangs. Otherwise, whether it was going to the downstream board on the river, the Shennong Gang on the north side of the river, or the Xiang family in the county, the settlement fee would not be much lower than this price.

The most attractive part of the treatment given by Ouyang Ye is actually the share of the income of the territory she is in charge. However, neither Wang Zheng was recruited yesterday nor Zhang Susu in front of him yet.

Zhang Susu didn't know what Ouyang Ye was thinking. She came back to her senses and was afraid that Ouyang Ye would regret it. She immediately said, "One thousand taels! This is what you said, don't regret it!"

Ouyang Ye said: "If Female Zhang is willing to be the leader of my Shenmu Gang, I will serve 500 taels now, and the remaining 500 taels will be sent here in the afternoon."

After saying that, Ouyang Ye signaled Chen Lai to hand over the wooden box containing 500 taels of silver.

Zhang Susu took the wooden box and opened it and looked at it. Her eyes and face seemed to be illuminated by silver.

After finally coming to his senses, Zhang Susu closed the silver box, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said to Ouyang Ye with a smile: "Okay, I will be your hall master... By the way, how much is the hall master Yuefeng? Do you have any special requirements after joining your Shenmu Gang?"

Ouyang Ye smiled and said, "My Lord of the Shenmu Gang, Yue Feng, has a rated monthly money of 100 taels, plus the income of 10 to 30% of the territory under his jurisdiction."

"As for the special request, I hope that Zhang Nuxia can move to Shenmu Trading with her family, one for the sake of making contact and communication between brothers, and the other for protecting the safety of her family."

"Monthly money is 100 taels?" Zhang Susu was surprised again, and ignored the income share of the territory. Then she stood at the door and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, the remaining settlement fee is delivered. I will go to your Shenmu Gang tomorrow. Let's sign the life and death contract first."

The full name of the Life and Death Deal is "The Life and Death Deal in the Jianghu", and the entry gang signing the Life and Death Deal in the Jianghu is the rule in the Jianghu. The Life and Death Deal is in three copies, one in the hands of the gang, one in the hands of the parties, and the other is given to the relevant government offices of the local government for filing.

This not only shows your solemnity towards joining the gang, but also means that from now on, you will be a member of the martial arts world. Even if you die on the streets one day, the government will not care about it.

Although the government has now had extremely weak influence on the world, and it would be fine if the contract for life and death was not sent to the government for filing, this rule has been decided on the world.

Since Ouyang Ye came to recruit Zhang Susu, the settlement fee was prepared, and the life and death contract was naturally prepared. He took it out immediately and asked Zhang Susu to sign the name and press the fingerprint. The matter was completely settled.

After leaving Wuliu Village, Chen Lai couldn't help but say in a daze: "Gang Master, we are recruiting a warrior from the third level? Isn't it too easy?"

"It's just good luck." Ouyang Ye also smiled.

In his opinion, Zhang Susu can not only increase the strength and deterrence of the Shenmu Gang now, but also has a great potential.

With the exquisiteness of the Taiyi Xuanmen Sword inherited by Wudang, in the future, reward the other party with a relatively advanced qi practice technique at the right time, and then you can create a master in the True Qi Realm or even Samadhi Realm!

According to the news provided by Hua Hao, Zhang Fu has not lived for two or three years, so Zhang Susu has only been thinking about finding a gang to join again in the past year. He happened to know Zhang Susu at this time. Isn’t it luck?

However, Zhang Susu has such a rough and straightforward personality and doesn’t have much experience in the world, so she can only be a senior thug. She may not be able to manage affairs on the territory well, but she has to be equipped with a suitable deputy.

···

Liuhe Township, Wangjiakou.

When Ruan Fen saw Wang Zheng come back, she sat down with a dull look on her face. Thinking that her husband was going to inquire about the news about the Shenmu Gang today, she put down the shuttle and poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "But have you found out something bad?"

The two girls in the room were originally weaving cloth with Ruan Fen, and they also looked over when they heard this, pricked up their ears and listened.

Wang Zheng drank the tea in one sip and sighed: "The Shenmu Gang seems to have offended Shunliu Pai. The situation is very bad now. I heard that their logging yard has not been shipped for two months."

After more than a month of quarrel between Shunliu Pai and Shenmu Gang, many people in the martial arts world knew about this, so Wang Zheng could easily find out.

He originally thought that as long as the Shenmu Gang was not too famous, he would join the Shenmu Gang because of the good treatment given by Ouyang Ye.

As a result, the reputation of the Shenmu Gang is not bad, but the situation is critical and I don’t know when it will collapse. He now joins the Shenmu Gang, and it will be a small matter soon. He will lose his life if he is not lucky.

Although joining a gang is just working with your head on it, it would be too stupid to see someone's building collapse and go in.

He is short of money and cannot accept the good work he delivers to his door. How can he not be depressed?

Although Ruan Fen is just an ordinary woman, she has been with Wang Zheng for more than ten years and knows a little bit about the world. In addition, she doesn't want Wang Zheng to join the gang very much, so she advised: "If you offend the Pai Gang, the Shenmu Gang will definitely be over. In this way, you should reject Ouyang Ye."

After hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, asking back: "How should I repay the thousands of taels of debt I owe?"

Ruan Fen said softly: "We have some land that can be rented for the villagers. I will take Lingwei and Lingzhi to weave cloth frequently to save some household expenses. At least we can get dozens of taels every year. You can find a job to protect the gentry and the custody. You only need to get a few dozen taels a month, and you should be able to pay it back in five or six years, right?"

Wang Zheng's smile on his face became even bitter and said, "For five or six years, I'm afraid that others will come to collect debts after not waiting for so long. Those people are not easy to share. Besides, how can I bear to let you live such a hard life with your two children?"

Wang Lingzhi, who had been listening to the couple's words next to her, suddenly said, "Uncle, Ouyang Ye is willing to pay so much money to invite you. I think my uncle will not be treated badly if he joins other gangs. Since my uncle is not optimistic about the Shenmu Gang, why not join other gangs with similar strength to his own strength in Babei?"

After hearing Wang Lingzhi's words, Wang Zheng looked less depressed and said, "Lingzhi, you can think of these things. I am indeed smart. But things are not what you think - if I join other gangs, the treatment will not be bad, but I will never be as generous as the Shenmu Gang."

"The most important thing is that other gangs may not have a suitable position for me. So, if I go to other gangs, I am afraid that I will either be rejected or be a small leader. In that case, it is better to go to guard the house for others. As your aunt thinks, the money is less, but the danger is less."

After listening to Wang Zheng's explanation, Wang Lingzhi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Wang Zheng's eyes fell on the cabinet with the silver box, but seemed to have made up his mind and said, "In fact, although the situation in the Shenmu Gang is critical, it will probably be attacked by the Pai Gang in the future and withdraw from the Babei wood industry. There may not be any tragic disaster in the family. In this way, I might as well join the Shenmu Gang first. When it can't hold on in the future, I will naturally be able to escape."

Ruan Fen knew that once Wang Zheng made a decision, he would not change his mind easily. For example, when Wang Zheng wanted to start an escort agency with his brother, did she persuade him less? What was the result?

So, she just sighed quietly, but said nothing and continued to weave cloth.

Wang Zheng also knew that his wife didn’t want him to join the gang, and he didn’t want him to join the crisis-ridden Shenmu Gang?

But as a man, he really couldn't stand his wife and daughter suffering from his own burden and lived a hard life. He drank alcohol all day long in the past month or two, but didn't he just wanted to face his wife and daughter and reality?

Now the opportunity to reverse the status quo is here, but it just needs to fight for life.

The world is so difficult, how many men can do well without fighting for their lives?

The idea was completely decided, and Wang Zheng was a man who was just doing it. He immediately went out and went straight to Jitang Pass, preparing to sign the life and death contract today...
