"Didn't they just collect the example money a few days ago? Why are they raising it again today?" He Zhiling, who had been silent all this time, asked with a frown.
The Preparatory Constable said, "I just heard about it myself. This time, the Ba Dao Gang is only raising the example money for Locust Tree Lane.
Apparently, their Gang Leader has his eye on a few properties in Locust Tree Lane. He wants to buy them and turn them into the gang's headquarters.
Ordinary families wouldn't dare provoke the Ba Dao Gang, so many of them can only grit their teeth and sell their homes to them for a pittance.
A few families who have nowhere else to go are refusing to sell, so the Ba Dao Gang is raising their example money.
Once they can't pay the example money, I'm afraid those people will have no choice but to sign over their homes to settle the debt."
