Chapter 9: Big Brother Qin Yun
Saving people was just a matter of convenience for Qin Feng.

What he cared about more at this moment was learning martial arts, so he was too lazy to stay in the bookstore any longer and left directly.

The martial arts schools in Pingchuan County are basically concentrated on a street in the east of the city.

If Qin Feng wanted to get to that street now, he would have to walk for more than two quarters of an hour.

On the way, when he saw the four big words "Pingchuan Academy", he suddenly remembered that he had to find his elder brother to ask about buying everyone's predicted questions when he came to the county town.

As long as there is no problem, now that he has money, it's only five taels of silver, he will give it.

Anyway, money is not something difficult for him to get, as long as he has enough.

So he stopped and walked towards the academy.

Pingchuan Academy is not a private school, but a formal school.

As long as you are a member of Pingchuan County and can afford the money, you can go to school.

The tuition fee is five taels of silver per year.

Of course, this is only the most basic tuition fee. Books, writing brushes, food, accommodation, etc., all added up, would cost at least ten taels a year.

This is a serious burden for Qin Feng's family.

In the past, the whole family worked hard every day, and my mother sold her dowry to survive until now.

If he hadn't traveled through time, with the death of his previous life, his family would only be able to support his eldest brother for three more years at most. If he failed the exam by then, he would have to give up his studies.

"What are you here for?"

There were two special guards at the gate of the academy. When they saw Qin Feng, they hurriedly stopped him and asked.

Although Qin Feng's age was suitable for a student in the academy, and even his temperament was quite suitable, the other party's linen clothes were too conspicuous.

"Looking for someone. I'm Qin Yun's younger brother. I have something to discuss with him." Qin Feng answered truthfully.

"Qin Yun? What's your name?"

"Qin Feng."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Soon, a guard ran into the academy.

They have a special response mechanism for visiting relatives.

At this time, the guard had already arrived at the academy, and he quickly found the school where Qin Yun was.

After making eye contact with the teacher for a moment, the noise in the classroom lowered tacitly.

"Qin Yun, someone is looking for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone in the school immediately walked out.

He was a young man who looked four points like Qin Feng. He was wearing scholar's clothes and had a more Confucian air. At this moment, there was some excitement on his face.

"Your brother's name is Qin Feng?"

"Yes."

Just like that, after matching the information, the guard led Qin Yun towards the gate of the academy.

Soon, the two brothers met and had a conversation.

Not long after, Qin Yun asked about the silver.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about the money for now. It's time for dinner now. Let's go and have a good meal."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's face was filled with anxiety and worry. "A good meal? How much money do you have on you? We can't spend money recklessly."

This sounds normal. After all, their family is not rich and they cannot spend money recklessly.

But there was something wrong with Qin Yun's expression. Why was he so anxious?
It was as if something would happen if I didn't have enough money, like I wouldn't be able to buy the predicted topic? Or something else?
"What happened here?" Qin Feng asked subconsciously.

"Nothing, it's just..." Before he finished speaking, Qin Yun suddenly turned his head to look behind Qin Feng, with a hint of fear in his eyes. At this time, the two were not at the gate of the academy, but at an alley diagonally opposite, about a hundred meters away from the gate.

And behind Qin Feng is the main street, what is there?
Qin Feng immediately turned his head and found that they were three men in their twenties. The leader looked ruffian and walked with an air of grandeur.

When the other party saw Qin Yun, his eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go inside the academy!" Qin Yun pulled Qin Feng and was about to leave.

But the three of them were obviously faster, and Qin Feng had no intention of leaving.

He knew that Qin Yun must have run into trouble, and running away was not the solution to the problem. He had to understand the problem first.

"Hey, isn't this Qin Yun? Have you gathered all the money for this month?"

"I'm in a good mood today. If you pay now, I can give you 10% off!"

The leader spoke in an extremely frivolous manner. After taking a look at Qin Feng, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His name is Zhou Tao. The three of them are all gang members and belong to the Wild Wolf Gang.

Although these three people are just the lowest-level minions in the gang, they are smart!

Others did not dare to come to Pingchuan Academy to collect protection fees, saying that these people were important people and collecting protection fees would easily lead to trouble.

But they dare!
Zhou Tao has conducted a special investigation and found that some of the students in the academy came from powerless families, so even if they were charged protection fees, it would not have any impact.

And Qin Yun is one of them.

So Zhou Tao and his two companions usually hung around the academy when they had nothing to do. When they saw students with no background coming out, they would go up to them and threaten them and collect protection fees.

When they first started doing this kind of thing, they were a little nervous, but after a year, nothing happened and they became more skilled and bolder.

Like now, just across the door from the academy, they dare to come over openly.

"What a coincidence, Brother Zhou, isn't it time yet this month?"

Qin Yun came forward with a flattering look on his face. While speaking, he put his hands behind his back and waved them, indicating that Qin Feng should go first.

He didn't want his brother to be exposed to these things, and Qin Feng should have money in his hands. If he was discovered, it might be robbed.

That’s right, these three people are just robbing money.

And it is useless to report this kind of robbery to the college, because the college cannot control these gang members and can only keep students away from them.

There's no point in reporting it to the police, because these thugs will just give you some useless gadgets.

They call it a deal, but it's useless even if they go to court.

As for why you won’t give it? The other party has investigated all your family information and threatened to take action against your family. At this time, will you give it or not?

In fact, these little thugs would only make verbal threats at best and would never actually take action because it is not worth it.

If you have the energy and time, why not change your goal?
But Qin Yun didn't know that after being scared a few times, he would start paying "transaction fees" every month. In a year, he had paid out more than three taels of silver.

Recently, he almost didn't have enough money for food. Thinking about buying everyone's predicted questions and other miscellaneous expenses, he could only ask his family to send him five taels of silver.

"Stop playing dumb with me."

Zhou Tao pushed Qin Yun aside and said with a smile: "This is your brother, he must have money!"

"I won't make it difficult for you. I'll give you two choices today."

"Well, I'm in a good mood now, so I'll give you 10% off if you pay now."

"Second, I'm leaving now. By the middle of the month, you have to give me 30% of the money I gave you!"

"You choose."
