Lu Ming

Chapter 164

Looking at the two wriggling beggars with fetid body and hands full of excrement under their feet, Master Ma's slender horse face was full of shock and anger at the moment, and he was almost fainting.

Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time, and the guys from Deyuelou rushed out of the door at this moment, and rescued Master Ma with all their might.

The next moment, shopkeeper Duan rushed out of the shop after hearing the news, shouted in rage, and then the clerk took the door handle and broomstick and beat Erqi indiscriminately.

However, the two seemed to have rich experience in being beaten. When they were beaten, they hugged their heads and bowed their waists, while rolling on the ground, they couldn't help shouting: "Good fight!"

When the clerk was tired and stopped, there was already a mess in front of the gate of Deyue Tower.A lot of bits and pieces fell from Er Beggar's body, rags, straw sandals, excrement all over the floor, and the stench was walking around in front of the gate of Deyue Tower, surrounded by excited onlookers, unable to withstand the attack of biological and chemical weapons, watching the movie The range retreated a full two meters.

At this moment, the two beggars lay on the ground and groaned. They didn't move, and they seemed to be in good spirits. From time to time, they would yell weakly: "Good fight!" The next stream of water rushed out. It must have been beaten hard, and he was incontinent.

Shopkeeper Duan was trembling with anger.

Deyue Tower has been in business for more than ten years, and there has never been a scene where rebellious people make a scene like today.Even Bai Ding, a servant from one prefecture and two counties in Hangzhou, did not dare to come to the Yuelou to make noise. Occasionally, a blind idler would come to make noise, and a piece of film was handed into the yamen, and the people were locked away.

As for the beggars begging for food in front of the door, in Duan's memory, the shopkeeper gave away the leftovers with a few copper coins-the members of the beggar gang usually have winks, and they know who has a high threshold and cannot be messed with.

However, today's release wiped out the psychological advantages that shopkeeper Duan had accumulated over the years.Shopkeeper Duan was trembling all over at the moment, mostly from anger, but also from fear.

The guards appeared soon, and the Duan family film was quite useful.However, the two guards who came today are a little weak: they don't have the apprentices and white servants who are necessary when they go to the police on weekdays.

The officer of Renhe County, full of yellow teeth and like a matchstick, went to the scene to have a look. Without saying a word, he would bring the villain to justice with a flick of the chain.

However, since this generation is called a "villain", how can it be so easy to catch?Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the two filthy humanoid creatures grabbed the chains around their necks with their hands, rolled around on the ground, and yelled angrily: "The leg was broken! Deyuelou killed someone!" !"

Since the New Deal of the Beggar Gang, the traditional functions of various halls have been gradually castrated, and the newly designated halls are transforming into refugee detention centers with a single function.

For all kinds of old low-level projects, only the main hall has the right to send special personnel to operate them.

And at the moment, they are performing a snake-like walk in front of the gate of Deyue Tower. These two rascals who have obviously practiced their crawling skills to MAX were specially dispatched from the main hall this morning. They have a special name in the gang : "ground flat snake".

After entering the arena, the aggressive Renhe County guard, who had already done his posture well, went downhill at this moment, put on a guilty face of helplessness towards the villains, and smiled at the shopkeeper Duan.

Of course, evil prevails, and the two villains were finally taken away.

Shopkeeper Duan had no choice but to offer a reward in public.However, all kinds of idlers and rogues who are usually desperate for money on weekdays, except for booing outside the arena, no one came out to receive the reward.

In the end, only his own family can go out.

After all the rewards were distributed to the clerks, a group of clerks in high-end restaurants who wore Songjiang muslin gowns all over their bodies and emphasized cleanliness and tidiness on weekdays, endured the stench, rushed forward with all hands and feet, and pressed the two rotten bastards in the temporary looking room. Comes on the door panel, tied firmly.

After that, the filthy man wrapped his mouth and nose with the standard moon white cloth rag, raised the door panel amidst the climax of the crowd shouting and applauding, and followed the guards back to the county office with a stench.
Shopkeeper Duan, who was already red-eyed, became more and more angry when he saw the distinguished guests of the restaurant fleeing one after another. He saw him cross Hefang Street in three steps and two steps, and pointed at the few people who were chatting and laughing at the small table at the entrance of the teahouse. Cursed: "What a bastard, you dare to come to my Duan's house to make trouble, you surnamed Hu, carefully watch your skin, it will be peeled off tomorrow!"

After a loud bang, Shopkeeper Duan stopped talking.

Hu Zhengqi shook the tea in his hand, looked at the tea bowl that fell under the shopkeeper Duan's feet, and then said with a smirk: "Old Duan, you must be blind, didn't you just arrest the troublemaker? There is no evidence to frame goodness, hehe, if you can't peel my skin tomorrow, we still have to get close!"

Hu Zhengqi's sudden vicious attitude made shopkeeper Duan, who was used to putting on a light show, at a loss as to what to do. He staggered back a few steps, pointed at Hu Zhengqi, turned his head and left.

That night, coordinate Duanfu.

With a "snap", Shopkeeper Duan's tea bowl was smashed for the second time today.Kneeling on the ground paved with water-polished green bricks, looking down at the broken porcelain and tea in front of him, Shopkeeper Duan had ten thousand grass-mud horses running past in his heart.
"Idiot! You bastard!" Duan Tiande, the second owner of the Duan family and a veteran Jinshi, was yelling at this moment.

"What are you fooling around with all day long? Is lard fooled? There are thousands of dead dogs inside and outside the beggar gang, and things like dung buckets. No one can hide in a hurry. You are fine, 20 taels of silver ? Enough for a meal?"

The more Duan Tiande scolded, the more angry he became: "You only know how to send posts. How big is the face of the Duan family? Thousands of dead dogs can be caught by the yamen, or can the Duan family send troops into the city? Do you want to seek rebellion? You idiot!"

It's mid-morning the next day.

Familiar seats by the window, familiar people, familiar dish of ghee and snails.

The smiling Master Hu swallowed the snails in his mouth, cleared his throat with a sip of tea, and then raised a finger: "20 taels of silver per month."

Shopkeeper Duan, who was downcast and ashamed, could only nod feebly aside.

"There's another one." Seeing that shopkeeper Duan's clothes were softening, Hu Zhengqi continued righteously at this moment: "Two brothers broke their legs in front of Deyue Tower yesterday. down."

Shopkeeper Duan nodded expressionlessly.

"Chenghui 200 taels." When Master Hu said this, he stood up and patted the shoulder of the tent next to him: "From today onwards, Luo San'er will come to collect the 'scavenging' money in Hefang Street at the beginning of the month. Dare to lose a penny, and you will live in peace every day!"

After Master Hu finished speaking, he picked up the half plate of buttered snails on the table with a smile, turned around and walked out the door, and said in his mouth: "This plate is also included as a gift today, so the Yuelou family has a great cause." Well."

Shopkeeper Duan's face turned pale and pale at the moment, without saying a word, he stared at Master Hu and walked out of the shop.

After Deyuelou, the largest walnut in Hefang Street, was smashed open, the example was set successfully, and the rest of the shops were not as tough as Duan's, so they naturally had no interest in resisting.So starting from Hefang Street, the beggar gang's action of collecting money for "scavenging" spread throughout the whole city of Hangzhou.

Like many things that the cross-travelers do in this plane, the natives don't understand at the beginning, resist, and then taste the benefits, the process is usually very fast.It didn't take long for the shopkeepers who felt the various hidden benefits from the "quietness" on the street to no longer make irresponsible remarks about this policy.

The government was also very satisfied - Zhou Tong had promised the government some kind of governance effect before taking action, and now it has actually manifested.

Zhou Tong, the gang leader, is essentially an employee of Time Travel Company and the branch manager of the Beggar Gang.Under corporate management, most of the beggar gang's funds have been effectively used as public funds, and have not been turned into hidden silver in the cellar of the gang leader's house.

It is different from the gang leaders who lived behind closed doors before.At the government level, since the beginning of his tenure, Zhou Tong has frequently taken the initiative to attack under the guidance of the traverser: while using money to clear the way, he deliberately strengthened the communication between the two sides. Zhou Tuantou has always been quite cooperative in public and private matters with respect to the demands of the gentlemen. .

It is no exaggeration to say that the latest leader of the beggar gang has reached an unprecedented height in terms of public-private relations with the first prefecture and the second county of Hangzhou.

This is also the reason why the beggar gang can easily launch the "Clean Street" operation: they have done their homework before, and when it is time to act, Zhou only needs to enter the back door of each government office after dark, put down the gift, and then sincerely give My lord analyzes the cause, effect and benefits of this matter. The prefect Liu and the two county magistrates who have become friends will definitely nod and acquiesce in his action-try and you won't get pregnant.

The performance of the Renhe county government servants in front of Deyue Tower clearly showed the government's attitude on this matter.

Nowadays, the government has quickly tasted the benefits of "cleaning the streets": except for a row of old and weak beggars sitting neatly in the designated place, the rest of the young and strong who can cause trouble are said to be restrained in the city by Zhou Tuantou. In some dilapidated temples outside, some wild vegetable pancakes are distributed every day to survive

From Queens to Manhattan overnight, this huge contrast in environment and law and order can be felt by individuals.Including the praise from the most important wealthy households, this information will soon be fed back to the Yamen, and "the roads are peaceful, the seas and rivers are clean, and the government is smooth and the people are harmonious."

After this incident, a virtuous circle formed between Zhou Tong and the government: I acquiesce in your work, you give me money and achievements, and I will support you in what you want to do next.As for some "rumors" about human trafficking, I don't think I can hear them here-anyway, refugees from other places will always flock to the city, and no one knows how many of these people there are.

The perfect implementation of the Street Cleaning Plan has given the traversing forces another insurance for delaying the transfer of population in Hangzhou City.Encouraged, Lu Cheng and Zhou Tong began to discuss another plan in the past two days.
