Chapter 456: Twin Cities Beggars Gang
When I say this, many people don’t believe it.

The Shuangcheng Beggars Gang is actually half a government-run organization.

Of course, it’s not just the Twin Cities. Since the late Qing Dynasty, beggar gangs in many places have government organizations behind them.

The business of relying on fans is divided into two categories:
The first type is traveling around, wandering around online to earn money, mostly "good people", and then return to their hometown, pretending to be a decent person, and still want some face.

The other type is those who live on the land, like a piece of dog-skin plaster, stuck in one place to eat and get cards, most of them have "bad ideas", which has a bit of gang color.

It doesn’t matter if we call them beggar gangs or pot gangs. There is no problem in calling these people Huazi Tuan outside the customs.

Isn’t there a saying like that?
There are three thousand hungry ghosts in hand, you don’t have to open your mouth to ask for food!
The head of the group who relies on fans must not only be supported and recommended by the beggar gang, but also need to be considered and finalized by the government. Both are indispensable, and he can finally take office smoothly.

Although the leader of the group was not an official, he was still a very respectable person.

During the New Year and festivals, or when the group organizes weddings and weddings, local businessmen, wealthy households, and even minor officials from Laochai have to take time to come and support.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, but that businessmen pay attention to making money by being friendly and spending money to be clean. If you really offend the beggar, you may be more disgusted in the future.

There are two entrances to the courtyard. The inner courtyard has five main rooms, with east and west side rooms, and is very high-end with carved beams and paintings. The outer courtyard has five thatched cottages in the east and west, with earthen wallpaper and paper windows, which is quite shabby.

Zhan Ye just sat upright in his chair, smoking and giving errands to the bosses under him.

In comparison, the Beggar Gang in Shuang Cities is completely different.

Oh, I bet you really took our little Xifeng Li Sanye for nothing!
Li Zhengxi is not a good person, and everyone who works in Fengtian worships him. Although most of his subordinates are half-grown children, they are still under the influence of the Jiang family.

Huazi Tuan also has a lot of errands. In addition to burying and caring for the bodies of "passengers" and executed prisoners, they sometimes have to hold lanterns for Lantern Festival temple fairs.

Shuangcheng is located to the west of Daoli Butou District, and the headquarters of Huazi Tuan is located in the southwest of Shuangcheng, close to the boundaries of the suburbs and the countryside.

Logically speaking, this is "benevolent and good governance."

However, the Hanako group is all about one thing.

The head of the group is also responsible for compiling the roster of the beggar gang.

Li Zhengxi is very concerned about justice and justice, and the style of his subordinates is quite good.

Master Zhan usually doesn't come here. When he comes, he collects numbers, settles affairs, and arranges beggars to go begging on the streets.

What's more, the head of the group was personally appointed by the superiors, so he does have some influence.

He went to the main room in the inner courtyard and sat down, smoking a pipe and pot.

There is not much development in this place at the moment. Whether it is new or old, there is a big difference between it and Dao Li Dao Wai.

Walking along the street, you can see a large courtyard facing you, just like a government office. Above the red lacquer door panel, there is a gold-lettered plaque hanging:
Shuangcheng Mansion Beggars’ Office!

The old man had a big pipe, one end was in his mouth, and the other end could burn his big toe.

In other words, whatever the Tuantou looks like, the Huazi Tuan he manages will be like that.

But since ancient times, the food provided in warehouses has not been eaten by the hungry people, and the charity has not reached the hands of the poor. In the end, everything has been cheap.

That person asked, why haven't I heard of such a No. 1 Huazitou in Fengtian?

The local farmers and business circles have to give alms and aid according to the list, and the old clothes and hats replaced by the military and police circles every year are also distributed to Hanako Tuan.

The leader of the group is named Zhang Quanxiang, he must be over fifty years old, and he is known as "Zhan Ye"; if you get to know him well, you can call him "Director" half-jokingly.

Drinking water remembers the source, the leader of the group benefits, and then "feeds back" the money earned to Master Qingtian to show filial piety. It can be said to be both fame and fortune, and win-win cooperation.

Master Zhan has a pole in his hand, more than two feet long, thick at one end and thin at the other, with a leather whip tied to the end.

The "stick" is not used to beat dogs, but to beat beggars. Since you are called a beggar's gang, you must follow the rules in everything.

This pole has supreme authority in the eyes of the beggars in Shuangcheng.

If a wealthy family catches up with a wedding or funeral, they go to the "Shuangcheng Prefecture Beggar's Place" and spend money to ask Master Zhan to lend him the pole, take it back and hang it on the door. This is called "Pole Up". "When all the beggars in the city saw this pole on the door, they didn't dare to come back to make trouble and beg for food. They wanted to be clean. All in all, there is nothing more than one sentence - Master Zhan is very upright and domineering in the boundary of Shuangcheng.

"Beggars" and "patters" are originally from the same group.

A person who is a scumbag may not be the leader of a beggar sect; but the leader of a beggar sect is most likely to be a scumbag.

However, as times have changed, no one can be sure whether Mr. Zhan is capable of counterfeiting Tengse Tang's ideas.

Chuanghu told everyone about the situation of the Shuangcheng Beggar Clan in front of everyone, which was regarded as giving an explanation to his boss.

After Jiang Lianheng heard this, he thought quietly for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Is this Mr. Zhan strong?"

"It's hard to say. I've only heard of it before and have never dealt with this person." After Chuanghu finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Xue Yingqing and others.

What he said was a disservice.

It was Xue Yingqing who asked someone to set up the business to take over the business of "Foreign Guanyin". He wanted to pass Lao Qian'er, which was equivalent to embarrassing her, so his face was naturally not good.

When Jiang Lianheng saw this, he expressed some relief and said: "Don't worry, if Lao Qian'er is honest, I won't let him work in vain. Business must be done. I just think that a lai in the city With a slap on the head, do you have the ability to deceive foreigners? "

Xue Yingqing said: "How many more can we accept? Do we have to find the right owner? We don't want the ready-made ones here, so we have to give up the near and seek the far away?"

"Since you're looking for something, you have to look for something bright. It's not very interesting to have a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates."

Jiang Lianheng smiled, his eyes fixed, as if he was not just thinking about the "Foreign Guanyin" business.

At this time, the knock on the door rang again.

Everyone looked up and saw that Li Zhengxi was also back.

"Brother, did Chuanghu tell you?"

Jiang Lianheng nodded and said, "I know everything about the situation. How is that little follower?"

Li Zhengxi walked to the opposite side, sat down on the edge of the bed, breathed into his palms, rubbed his hands, and said, "That boy's surname is Yu. I heard from Chuanghu's friends that everyone calls him 'Long Neck'." The Big Beard Gang's loan company is an apprentice, and it's not the online combination that drives business."

"So there's nothing wrong with it?"

"I heard that he is an inquiring person, like a troublemaker. He always likes to spread gossip. There is nothing wrong with him. He has been quiet since he came home."

Jiang Lianheng raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then nodded inexplicably.

"Okay, that's it for today! It's getting late, so hurry up and get some rest. Old Qian'er's business won't be revealed until the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, everyone will follow me to the outside of the road."

"Going outside the road?"

Everyone was stunned and quickly asked: "Where are we going?"

Jiang Lianheng looked at Chuanghu and asked, "I heard that there seems to be a 'Songjiang Movie Tea House' outside the Dao? Have you heard of it?"

Chuang Hu and Li Zhengxi looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"I heard about it. We just came back from there this afternoon."

Jiang Lianheng frowned and asked, "What a coincidence?"

Chuanghu nodded immediately and replied: "My buddy, Lin Qi, he has changed his career from singing shadow puppets to being the manager of that tea house!"

"When did you two meet him?"

"During the afternoon session, it was almost dark."

Jiang Lianheng nodded thoughtfully. The time didn't match. Fan Sibai probably didn't get the news from Lin Qi.
