So when Zhao Liang went to collect the money again, the people on the whole street were staring at Zhao Liang and the three of them, wanting to see how they collected the money from a few restaurants. Zhao Liang and the others were not in a hurry, and they collected the money of the small vendors first. Then Cork carried a bag of money on his back, and went back to pay his errand, accompanied by the big white goose.

And Zhao Liang walked to the nearest restaurant under the gaze of everyone. He stood outside the door and shouted, "Shopkeeper, it's time to pay this month's regular money, right?" ”

Everyone was excited when they saw it! I didn't expect Zhao Liang to really dare to go to the restaurant to collect money. The idea of watching the trouble arose. The shopkeeper walked out of the door and stood on the steps, looked at Zhao Liang condescendingly and said, "Zhao Tietou." Don't you know who the owner of this restaurant is? ”

Zhao nodded and said, "I know!" Isn't it Li Yuan's family! ”

The shopkeeper raised his chin and said, "Since you know that it is Li Yuanwai's business, you dare to come here to disturb?" Be careful that Li Yuanwai's post is sent to the county government and you will be sent to prison! ”

Zhao Liang tilted his neck and said, "That has nothing to do with me!" I'm just here to get a message! I'm just asking you now, do you pay this money? ”

The shopkeeper raised his head and waved his hand, looking like he had seen stinky shit, and said, "Don't pay!" Don't pay! Get out of here! ”

"Okay! Let's get out! Zhao Liang arched his hand and left with a swagger. Walk towards the second house. Hope is burning in the hearts of the vendors! If these restaurants don't pay, it seems that we can not pay if we make a fuss, right? Looking at their appearance, it seems that they dare not offend these big families.

Sure enough, the situation of the remaining ones was much the same. Zhao Liang's proposal to collect money was rejected without exception. However, Zhao Liang was not annoyed by the humiliation, he just arched his hand and left to go to the next family. The hawkers were very disappointed, why didn't they see the guys in the restaurant beating Zhao Tietou! And the shopkeeper and the guys seemed to have a sense of accomplishment in driving Zhao Liang away, and they all stood in front of the door talking and laughing loudly, ridiculing Zhao Liang! Zhao Liang didn't look back, staggered out of the street and disappeared.

However, within two days, these restaurants all had accidents. Someone poured a large bucket of feces in front of the door, and it stinks! Guys can't clean up this smell! On the same day, the business in the restaurant fell!

Zhao Liang and the three of them were not far away, smiling strangely as they watched the guys clean up the feces. The shopkeeper of the restaurant outside Li Yuanwai went straight to Zhao Liang angrily and walked over quickly. When he got closer, he pointed at Zhao Liang and said, "Are you a bad guy?" Aren't you afraid that the staff will pick you up? ”

Zhao Liang said with an innocent face: "Which eye did you see that I did it?" Besides, with so much dung, do you think the three of us brothers are capable? Even if it's dry, I'm afraid I'll have to get a piece of and pee! You see we're clean. Where is there such a pickled thing? ”

The shopkeeper trembled with anger and said, "Who did it if you didn't do it?" If you don't want money, you use this vile and dirty means! ”

Zhao Liang took out a short stick and pulled his finger pointing at his nose to the side, then tapped his shorts in the palm of his left hand and said, "Shopkeeper." This Jiaozhou city is a place where the king's law is preached. If you defile me without any grounds, aren't you afraid that I will accuse you of the crime of reversing? ”

The shopkeeper was so angry that he stomped his foot and turned back. The same thing happened a lot in Jiaozhou and Jimo City. The grain shop found that the grain in their granary had been splashed with water; A large number of live rats were thrown in when they were singing and dancing in the green building; The people of the cloth house found that their cloth had been splashed with diluted paint; The people in the dye shop found that their dye was mixed with something and changed color. In short, in the past, Ansheng's business was not able to do, and this month it lost a lot of money.

There are even worse! A dice shop, because of the prevention of gamblers making trouble, so it raised a lot of thugs, most of the thugs were relatively temperamental, and beat the bloody hands to patrol the streets. As a result, he was sued by the street patrol to the county office, and several thugs who beat people were beaten on the board. Just as they were plotting their revenge, they were hit by a group of masked men that night, and all the thugs had their legs broken! The dice shop was also smashed! In short, in the past two months, the cities of Jiaozhou and Jimo County have been in chaos.

The business of a big family will either have an accident today, or it will have an accident tomorrow. In short, the business can't go on, and the losses are huge. The most unfortunate thing is that they know that the Bloody Hand Gang did the work, but they can't catch the troublemakers and evidence at all.

Occasionally, there are clues that someone may have been involved in something, and then that person disappears. After all, Liu Jiang now has two county seats, and those who show the wind in Jimo will be transferred to Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou dewed the wind and went to Jimo. If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you put it in Fushan Village to practice for half a year. So there is nothing these big families can do. In this process, the county government is obviously in a neutral position. but according to the law, and did not give them any preferential treatment.

In the private room of the restaurant last time, a group of people were talking angrily. That's right, it's an angry conversation. However, there were more people today than last time, and the private room was full of more than a dozen people. Everyone was so angry that their faces turned red. They have been discussing here for a long time, and they have not discussed a meridian.

So when everyone was silent, Huo Lao said: "I lost more than eighty stones of grain last month. The guy watching the warehouse recognized the person who did it before he was knocked unconscious. Although his face was covered, he could still recognize it by his movements. Then when I took someone to arrest him the next day, the person was gone. Later, it was reported that he had seen this person in Jimo. So I can't afford to toss a little bit now. I'm ready to pay. ”

The strong man said, "Huo Lao, this can't work!" If you pay the money, it means that you are convinced! How can we bow to a bunch of crumbs! Everyone echoed the strong man's words.

Huo Lao said slowly: "But what can we do to deal with them?" ”

"The county order is a clerk to get people!" One man said viciously.

Huo Lao shook his head and said, "Judging from the performance of the county government during this time, the county government will not care about these things. The county commander wants us to have a good time fighting with the Bloody Hand Gang, so that he can benefit from it. After all, we used to make the county order too tight, and we didn't give him any rights. ”

In fact, Huo Lao's words are right. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, local power was no longer in the hands of the government, but in the hands of the local gentry. On the one hand, these people trained the children of the family to enter the court as officials as pillars, and also wantonly installed people in local officials and errand servants. At the same time, they also control local public opinion, population, land, and all kinds of business and trade. Therefore, it is not the county order that is said locally, but the gentry here.
