Chapter 241: Dimensionality Reduction Strike
The Beggar Sect’s retaliation came fast!
The group of beggars who followed Zhang Ye out quickly began taking over positions across the dock plaza…
Some of them set their cracked begging bowls right where goods were being loaded and unloaded.
Many of the laborers hauling cargo had no choice but to pick their way around them with extreme caution, which created a huge nuisance.
Others gathered in groups and directly demanded money from the merchants who had just come ashore, pestering them until they could not stand it anymore. The merchants hurried away from the docks in irritation.
Several First-Rank martial artists under Zhang Ye stood nearby, watching like hawks. Ordinary people sensed that something was wrong and did not dare linger at the docks.
Seeing the scene, Wangchuan immediately understood why the previous helm leader had compromised with the Beggar Sect and turned in five hundred taels of silver every month…
Dock business brought in nearly ten thousand taels of silver a day. In a month, that was thousands of taels of gold in profit. Paying a mere five hundred taels of silver to ensure the Beggar Sect did not cause trouble was enough to eliminate an enormous headache.
If the Beggar Sect stayed here and kept stirring chaos, how much money would be lost each month?
