9. Be the team leader

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao, standing to the side, stared at Shen Hao in astonishment.

I never expected this guy to be such a ruthless person, all quiet and unassuming.

Soon, the cowardly Fu Hai took out five silver dollars from the shop and handed them to Shen Hao.

Shen Hao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good job. Take me to your house so I can cut Zhao Er's braid."

Fu Hai hung his head, not daring to look at Shen Hao.

"Sir, please follow me."

At this moment, Shen Hao took out ten silver dollars and gave five silver dollars each to Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao.

He laughed and said, "Since we're brothers, we should share both good times and bad."

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao accepted the money and nodded happily.

"Haozi... not Brother Hao, from now on we brothers will follow you," Peng Zhongsheng said hurriedly;

"Yes, yes, Brother Hao, you have to look after the brothers," Zhou Zhenhao hurriedly agreed.

Although the three of them were patrol officers together, Shen Hao was clearly more capable of handling things.

That's quite a money-making scheme.

They squeezed 15 yuan out of him with any excuse.

They were generous, giving each person five yuan. Five yuan could buy you a prostitute in the Eight Great Hutongs.

The two people who received the money were very happy.

In the minds of Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao, Shen Hao's image also became more impressive.

Seeing that the two were so sensible, Shen Hao was very satisfied. He patted them on the shoulders and said, "If we're brothers, we won't forget you. Today, the braid is mine, and the money is yours."

"Now that I'm the team leader, your days won't be bad."

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao nodded without hesitation.

"I'll do whatever you say, Brother Hao."

Then, Shen Hao followed Fu Hai and walked ahead.

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao, who were lagging behind, whispered to each other. They're here.

"Zhongsheng, did you see Hao Ge's eyes just now?" Zhou Zhenhao whispered.

"So what if I saw it?"

Zhou Zhenhao whispered in his ear, "That gaze is incredibly sharp, the kind only someone who's killed would have, even sharper than my cousin's."

Peng Zhongsheng gasped, astonished, "You mean Brother Hao?"

Before Peng Zhongsheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhenhao's gaze.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded, understanding each other perfectly.

Zhou Zhenhao's cousin was a soldier. I met him once, and he was intimidating. Unfortunately, bullets don't have eyes, and he died young.

This is enough to prove that Shen Hao has killed people, and more than one.

The two thought that following Shen Hao wouldn't be bad, so they silently followed behind him.

On their way to Fuhai's house, the three of them caught more than a dozen laborers with braids.

Shen Hao was delighted to see that there were many more braids in his hands; he was determined to make this team leader today.

When they arrived at Fu Hai's house, Zhao Er was still fast asleep.

Without saying a word, Shen Hao went up and cut off the braid with a pair of scissors.

Zhao Er was completely bewildered after waking up.

"Brother Fuhai, what's going on?"

Fuhai lowered his head in shame, unsure of what to say.

"It's alright, I'll give you a haircut. From today onwards, you're a qualified citizen of the Republic," Shen Hao said.

Looking at Zhao Er's face, Shen Hao felt like he was looking at a fool.

They're exactly the same, they deserve a beating.

"Where's my braid?" Zhao Er felt much lighter on his head, but when he touched the back of his head, he was dumbfounded.

He asked incredulously, "Where's my braid?"

Shen Hao ignored the guy and snorted coldly, "We received a report that you're stealing. Search us."

As they were talking, Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao searched Zhao Er's body and actually found some good stuff.

A snuff bottle, a dozen or so silver dollars.

Peng Zhongsheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Goodness, you stole quite a lot!"

Zhao Er hurriedly said, "Sir, please don't misunderstand. I didn't steal it, I really didn't steal it, I found it on the road."

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao wanted to say something, but Shen Hao interrupted them, saying, "Leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future."

If you corner a dog, it's easy for it to retaliate.

"Alright, I'll let you off this time since it's your first offense."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Hai and Zhao Er were overjoyed and nodded hastily.

Immediately, Shen Hao ignored Fu Hai and Zhao Er and continued to look for someone on the street to cut his braid.

Shen Hao took the snuff bottle, and Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao split the silver dollars. Everyone was very satisfied.

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao were unaware of its value; this snuff bottle was a valuable item from the palace.

In one day, Shen Hao and his two companions cut off a total of 135 braids.

It can be said that the mission was successfully completed.

Back at the police station, the chief was very pleased to see that Shen Hao had cut off 115 braids.

Before the bureau chief could speak, Shen Hao handed him a snuff bottle, which he had taken from Fu Hai's house.

Why not give it to them?

The bureau chief's eyes lit up, and he patted Shen Hao on the shoulder, saying, "Haozi, I could tell you were promising as soon as you came in. I didn't expect you to be so insightful. Not bad, not bad."

Amidst envious and jealous glances from the crowd, the bureau chief loudly proclaimed:

"Everyone did a good job on today's task, especially Shen Hao, who completed 110 braids all by himself."

Everyone was somewhat surprised; how could this be?

"Here, I recommend Captain Shen Hao."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The battalion commander manages five captains, and not only that, he is also in charge of work arrangements and is armed.

The bureau chief's face darkened, and he said coldly, "What's wrong? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"It's the bureau chief."

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao took the lead and clapped excitedly.

He was overjoyed. As expected of Brother Hao, he had become the captain.

Although the crowd was unconvinced, they could only applaud along with the others.

Immediately afterwards, the bureau chief announced the appointment of five team leaders.

Peng Zhongsheng and Zhou Zhenhao were both appointed as team leaders on Shen Hao's recommendation.

This is all thanks to the skill of using snuff bottles.

Shen Hao said happily, "Thank you so much, Director, for treating us all to drinks today. Everyone, please come to Xinfeng Restaurant."

"it is good"

Immediately, everyone became very excited.

I was still very happy to attend the banquet.

A table at Xinfenglou can be had for three silver dollars.

With a hundred people, there would be at least ten tables, which would cost thirty silver dollars. Everyone was secretly amazed by Shen Hao's wealth.

Appearances can be deceiving, and now I understand why Shen Hao was able to become the brigade leader.

Those who knew Shen Hao's background understood that although his family had fallen on hard times, even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse, so he must still have some inventory, and no one investigated the source of the funds.

As long as there is food and drink, that's fine.
