Chapter 182 Who will do it if we don’t talk about it?
There are several large courtyards in the east of Huairen County, which are places for placing goods. Before Zhengjiaji became prosperous, they were all the territory of the commercial bank. After the place declined, these places were idle. The entire county town's houses were no longer valuable, so naturally no one cared about it. In the end, they fell into the hands of the household houses, but the household houses themselves were not very good. Six-bedroom, three-team and other poor people, who would use them, would come and use them.
When Zhu Da returned to his home from the blacksmith shop, dozens of people were discussing matters in a certain place in the east courtyard of the city. It was very noisy and no one dared to care. There were curious outside looking around for a few glances and hurried away, fearing that they had to get in touch with each other.
As long as they are residents of Huairen County, they can recognize the people in the courtyard. They are all the great men and heroes in the yamen runners of the third rank. They are all people who are rampant on the streets. Good people have to stay away from each other when they see them. Moreover, there are so many today. If the people are familiar, they will see that there are more people in the strong class in the courtyard. The head and deputy head of the strong class are all in the middle, and the deputy head of the deputy head of the team is Yang Shouwen.
"Brothers, we dozens of men are still afraid that all of their half-baby boys will not grow all their hair and not have enough food. We will definitely be able to get it right after we go. If we catch people, we will be rewarded. Each person will have two taels of silver, and two taels of silver!" Yang Shouwen said with saliva flying.
When he said this, there was a little turmoil among the dozens of people watching. After whispering for a while, someone said coldly: "Yang Tou, don't you say that the boy brought back a few thousand taels? Why did you give everyone two taels each? You have to 37 ounces when doing things along the way. This is more difficult than escorting criminals!"
"Cheng Family Liu, what do you mean? What's the difficulty of that group of half-aged men? It's no different from bent down to pick up money. It's just to catch a person and handle a case. How much do you want? Besides, you won't take it during the search?" Yang Shouwen said with a straight face.
"Your strong class can make money by escorting criminal prisoners along the way. Our soap class is suffering. Are you showing off?"
"Nonsense. Last time I took action, I caused dozens of rural brave men to come and chased us with swords and guns. I almost couldn't even pick up the prisoners in the mountain nest. Thank you for your hard money, thank you for your hard money!"
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, and no one paid attention to Yang Shouwen. Deputy Yang's squad leader was so angry that he smoked. He pointed at a few people and cursed, "She is so stupid. You know who has assigned the errand this time. You don't want to do it. How many people are waiting to come, and sooner or later I will beat you down and change to obediently."
After he said this, there were more than a dozen people in the crowd: "This is a case approved by Tai Sheng. If everyone doesn't go, they will be in trouble. Moreover, there are benefits to get it, so why not go!"
But someone else stopped doing it and pointed and shouted, "Stop giving me a shit, your family will naturally give you more benefits. Why should we go? I really don't believe it. I didn't make any mistakes. Who can change me? How many generations of my Wang family have served as a servant, and no one has ever seen him. Use this to fool people, go to hell!"
No one is angry. People who can speak have roots and inheritance. Everyone takes the work and food in the booklet, and no one should scare anyone. However, the deputy servants who are not on the booklet are standing outside and not talking. They can't decide anything, and those who can make decisions are making noise.
Yang Shouwen was so angry that he was giving advice again, but the two standing beside him did not say anything. One was in his forties and looked thin and had no expression on his face. The other was a fat man, holding his hands together and sneered. Yang Shouwen pointed at him a few times, but couldn't speak. He turned his head and said in a muffled voice: "Huangtou, Old Liu, if you say something, you can't just be the deputy chief of the squad. This is a case approved by Tai Sheng, and you must not stop arresting."
The thin man didn't say anything, and the fat man laughed and said, "Don't fight with us in this official voice. Huangtou is too lazy to say it. Lao Liu talks a few more words. You can't eat all the benefits alone. It doesn't matter if you are thousands or hundreds of dollars, we brothers will only have two taels. Otherwise, we will not be able to take back the money next time we escort the prisoner. Let's offer a price!"
Hearing this, Yang Shouwen's facial features were twisted, and then he squeezed out a little smile and said, "Old Liu, I have been begging for two taels of silver this time, so I can't get too much."
The person named Lao Liu's eyebrows stood up and the smile on his face disappeared immediately. He said with a cold face: "Is it okay to fool the baby? If you don't increase the price, I will take my brothers out of the city to make a deal. You offer a price first. Lao Yang, give up some of the things you should give out, don't think that the whole family will swallow it!"
Yang Shouwen's face suddenly became gloomy and glanced at the thin person. The person who was still alive was still alive. Yang Shouwen gritted his teeth and said, "Five taels per person... No, ten taels per person."
Looking at Lao Liu's changing face, Yang Shouwen hurriedly changed the number and gave it to him. Lao Liu nodded and stared at him again, "The one below is almost done. Big head has to discuss it again. Don't think of anyone as a fool. If you arrest the case, you must follow the rules."
"Old Liu, do you know who assigned this case? Don't be too ignorant." Yang Shouwen said gritting his teeth.
Old Liu smiled and said indifferently: "Since Mr. Fang has already arranged it, we must do it with care. However, Mr. Zhou said that the goods were purchased by everyone and everyone has divided the money. Since there is still a harvest, everyone must have a share. There is no reason to be swallowed by the family, so that no one will take care of it in the future. Yellow head, don't you think?"
The two of them said one by one. The thin middle-aged man had no time to express his opinion. When asked at this time, the yellow-headed man said with a smile: "Since Mr. Fang and Mr. Zhou are talking, and Taizong also writes to take people, then you can do whatever you should do. Just let me remind you that Qin Xiucai from that family has also come to the county town to hand in the posts. After doing the work, you must ask, don't hit the butt of the strong class at that time."
"It's okay, Mr. Fang said, then Qin Xiucai must have failed the exam, otherwise the quick horse would have arrived long ago. Even if he didn't die on the road, what is a show worth? I understand. Those like the Liu family who have not been a juren in 20 years, of course they value this. Do you think so?" Yang Shouwen said indifferently, but finally said again.
The middle-aged man named Huangtou snorted coldly, his face turned dark, but he stopped talking. Yang Shouwen and Old Liu looked at each other and were about to shout and talk. At this time, he could still hear a crowd whispering not far away, "The Huang Bantou is from the Liu family. No one in the Liu family has passed the imperial examination for more than 20 years and is about to lose. You say that this scholar, a poor man, has passed the Jinshi, and even the big bosses in Datong have to be polite. If you haven't passed the exam in the past 20 years, it will be over in an instant." "It's still a juren, and scholars don't count anything."
The scene was noisy and there were also discussions. Several people from the fast-paced class of the soap class even crossed their hands outside and watched jokes. They watched Yang Shouwen and Old Liu step forward. The strong class was a little quieter. Except for more than a dozen people who looked resentful, everyone else knew that they were going to do something.
But Yang Shouwen was about to speak, but he ran into someone outside panting and shouted without hesitation when he entered the door: "The boy from the Zhu family went to the blacksmith shop to build dozens of short spears, all of which were iron spearheads, which made the Zhang family sharpen their strength..."
When he said this, he was not breathing evenly. He patted his chest a few times, but he scolded him in the yard, "How come the Old Zhang family dares to do his business and sell their weapons!" "He even dares to sell those desperate people outside the city. This is a ball, but you didn't stop him after watching it?"
"Stop it! Zhang Dachui said he would not do this business, but the kid gave him thirty taels first. When we rushed over, we had already made dozens of them. If we wanted to get it back, the kid moved the knife, and no one dared to do it!"
"You twenty people, can you have all the men left? But there is no one reporting the news there!"
"No, I didn't go all, I just went to five people and a big cart..."
"A bastard, you can't get twenty of the five people. Even if you can't get them, you can't get them. You can't get them. You even made them build dozens of weapons back!"
After asking all the words, Yang Shouwen finally couldn't help but curse a few words. The news was breathing evenly, and he quickly defended himself: "Yang Tou, don't dare to stop him. The boy's subordinate picked up a short spear and snatched it out. He flew out dozens of steps, flat and straight! He pierced a foot into the wall. What a good guy, the wall was newly tamped. It was just when it was hard, and it was pierced through. Think about it, if this was pierced, both of them would have to pierced through, who dared to stop him!"
In the end, I have a bit of confidence. The position of the strong team is either bought with money or passed down from generation to generation. This life is very expensive and cannot be lost casually. Everyone can do their best, but working hard is another matter.
After the man said that, the yard was quiet for a moment, and someone immediately shouted: "That guy killed dozens of people with wooden guns outside the city. He killed all the winged tigers. Now he has an iron guy in his hand. If everyone goes to do it, how many casualties will be, let alone two taels, twenty taels will not do it!"
"Your surnamed Yang, you are so heartless, and you fool everyone into saying that it is a rumor outside. This is because of the wooden spear throwing a gun. How can we stand it after thirty steps into the wall!" Someone immediately cursed.
Old Liu, who had already stood up, glanced at Yang Shouwen, shook his head and retreated. He cleaned up the situation himself. It would be okay to make a fortune together, but if he was scolded together, everyone would listen to the orders, but if he was not sure about fighting like this, then no one would obey the orders, and you would be unable to do anything. As long as you are on the list, you would not be able to move, otherwise the rules would be broken.
"Does of iron spears, maybe hundreds of wooden spears. Their 20 people have all swords and guns. Will we go to die? Yang Shouwen, you have to lick the Fang family's ditch, don't mess with everyone's lives. If you have the ability, go yourself!" Someone stood up and pointed and cursed.
