Chapter 60 Tongchuan County Mess

Li Wei felt that Gu Fugui really thought highly of her. In this situation, what could she do?
Cold!

"Who was doing it just now?"

With a roar, everyone at the scene lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

Li Wei took a peek at the person who was shouting, he was not tall, strong, without hair, and his arm was still exposed in this winter, he looked cruel.

Luckily for Li Wei, the ones looking for it didn't seem to be extremely vicious, at least they wanted to wipe them out as soon as they came.

"Brother Bao, it's him." The gatekeeper who was beaten just now pointed at Gu Xiaozhuang.

Gu Xiaozhuang didn't have the momentum he had just now, his face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to lift his head while hiding in the crowd.

"Drag the man out for me."

Brother Leopard said a word, and the two of them would pull Gu Xiaozhuang.

"Don't touch the master (father)"

Qing Haiyan and Gu Xiaozhuang's daughters all surrounded him.

"Good man, good man, spare your life."

Seeing that these people were viciously trying to touch her son, Mrs. Gu hurried forward to intercede.

I thought that the old man and the hooligans would still give some face, but these people didn't care about it, and slapped him directly. Mrs. Gu staggered and lay on the ground, two of her front teeth fell out, and there was blood in her mouth.

So cruel, so cruel to the old man.

Qing Haiyan grabbed Gu Xiaozhuang's hand and then let go. Gu Xiaozhuang was lifted into the middle of the road, his whole body was weak, and he couldn't even stand firmly.

The man named Brother Bao stepped forward and kicked Gu Xiaozhuang's calf, and Gu Xiaozhuang knelt on the ground.

"Did you see it? Make trouble, that's the end."

The people around lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"If you enter the city for a tael of silver, no one will deceive you. If you want to enter, you can pay the silver, and if you don't want to enter, you can get out."

Saying that, Brother Bao kicked Gu Xiaozhuang on the back again.

Gu Xiaozhuang lay on the ground, the ground was already muddy, his face was covered in mud when he lay down, he looked very embarrassed.

Seeing Brother Leopard like this, everyone lost their temper.

"Although the master is a righteous man, he is also reasonable. He will never buy or sell by force."

"The one who pays the money stands on the left, and the one who doesn't pay the money stands on the right."

After finishing speaking, everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't move.

"If you don't choose, then pay the money."

At this moment, a man stood up obediently.

"Hero, I, I won't go to town."

Then he stood to the right.

Brother Leopard stepped forward and stood in front of him.

"You're not going into town?"

The other party nodded slightly, and was about to go out of the city, but Brother Leopard turned around and kicked, and the other party lay on the ground and passed out.

"If you don't enter the city, you won't dare to walk through this gate."

After finishing speaking, Brother Leopard looked at the crowd again and asked a question.

"Who else doesn't go to the city?"

Everyone was frightened by Brother Leopard's brutality.

Who dare not enter the city?

"We're going into town."

Everyone obediently took out the money and paid it. Li Wei paid 14 taels of silver alone, and Zhou Chunxiu even counted one in his stomach. After paying the money, the other party did not make things difficult and let everyone in.

After such a fright, everyone lost their previous longing for the way home, and just wanted to find a place to rest and plan for the future.

But the county is very deserted, all the shops on both sides of the street are closed,

There were few people scattered on the street, and the whole county was lifeless, looking like a dead city.

Even if Li Wei wanted to find a horse shop, the door was closed.

The further he walked, the colder Li Wei's heart became.

Finally, when they were almost desperate, they found an inn that was still open.

Walking in, there is no one in the hall except the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw them.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

"Shopkeeper, something big has happened in Tongchuan recently, why are the shops outside here closed?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"You should be foreigners. There hasn't been any major incidents in Tongchuan recently, except that the county master has left."

"It's very chaotic outside now. Many local hooligans have come out to collect protection fees. Ordinary businesses don't dare to fight these local hooligans, so they simply close their doors."

Li Wei: "Then you won't be afraid of these hooligans when Yuelai Inn is open?"

The shopkeeper laughed.

"I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid, but this is a life, anyway, life is cheap, and if you don't do business, you will die, so it's better to take a gamble."

"I can't live anymore. After asking so many questions, everyone is very tired."

Seeing that he had finally found an inn, and Li Wei kept asking questions, Gu Xiaozhuang couldn't help but lose his temper. At this time, he was not as greedy and afraid of death as he just faced that brother Bao.

Li Wei didn't like this kind of nest at all, but because Mrs. Gu's mouth was full of blood, she didn't bother with him.So he asked the shopkeeper to open three upper rooms.

One room for men, one room for women, and one room left for Li Wei to live alone. After walking for so long, she just wanted to be alone for a while. , Who let the silver be on him.

Going back to the room, lying on the soft bed, coming out of the house, this is the first time Li Wei sleeps on such a comfortable bed.

Yuelai Inn is on the edge of the Tuojiang River, but it is a little far away from the riverside. However, because the Tuojiang River has swelled recently, I heard the sound of waves in the room, and it feels very close to the riverside.

After resting for a while, Li Wei decided to go downstairs to inquire about the news. This Tongchuan County gave her a bad feeling, and she always felt uneasy staying there.

In the lobby at this moment, there were two mistresses, young and smart looking.

Seeing Li Wei coming down, one of them immediately came up to meet her.

"Guest officer, how can I help you?"

"Where can I rent a carriage in the county?"

The other party quickly shook his head and said, "The business of the carriage dealers in the county has been so good recently that they have all traveled far away."

Li Wei did not expect this to be the case.

"A lot of people in the county have traveled far recently?"

"That's right. There have been rumors recently that the Tuojiang River is about to flood and our county will be flooded. Therefore, the rich have evacuated to a safe place with their families."

Li Wei thought that the water level of the Tuojiang River had grown rapidly in recent days. She thought that she would have to take a look at the water situation in the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River later. If Tongchuan was really in danger of being flooded, she had to leave early.

"Then why don't you leave?"

Xiaoer smiled wryly after hearing this.

"Wherever we poor people can go, we will be flooded if we want to."

"Brother, when we entered the city, we saw that the cashier at the gate was not a government servant. Do you know who they are?"

"Oh, that should be Brother Bao's."

Li Wei also remembered that those people called the bald man in the middle Brother Leopard. It seems that this person is quite famous in this area.

"Who is Brother Leopard?"

"Brother Bao is the black boss in Tongchuan County. He founded the Tuojiang Society, and now all the hooligans in our county are under his control."

"Don't the people in the yamen care?"

After hearing this, the little girl looked at Li Wei as if she was watching a joke.

"The yamen servants? The county magistrate has left, and no one pays the salary. Many yamen servants have joined the Tuojiang Society. Now they rely on Brother Bao to have a living."

"According to this statement, then Tongchuan County is now under the management of Brother Bao?"

Xiao Er nodded.

"Brother Bao is more useful than going to the county government when there is something wrong in Tongchuan County. If Brother Bao can't solve it, then there is no way to solve it."

Li Wei now understands that Tongchuan County is completely messed up.
