Chapter 332: The bully can't suppress the snake (asking for a monthly ticket)
Wang Fulin did not discriminate against the gray industry in this year, except for the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. If it is a woman who is not willing to make money by hard work and voluntarily sells herself for money, it is someone's choice, and outsiders cannot interfere. However, what he knows best is that many women in this industry today are not only forced, but also the daughters of wealthy families and even rich and noble families, who are abducted and sent to such dark places, and there are even such black-hearted and black-lung unscrupulous people who ruthlessly sell their wives and sisters and daughters. Therefore, if you want to say that the Qinglou Chu Pavilion is the most pickled place in the whole world except for the palace and official prisons, there is no doubt about it.
Therefore, at this moment, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, why didn't those people act decisively and quickly, and directly demolished these green buildings. Of course, this thought was fleeting, and then disappeared without a trace. If this is the case, where can women who have long been accustomed to such a life go? It's not that it has been searched by other buildings and courtyards, or it has fallen into an even more unbearable situation.
"What serious business did Master Chen find for them?"
Seeing Wang Fulin's pure curiosity, Master Chen's face suddenly drooped, and he said angrily after a while: "I easily found some acquaintances, and planned to hire them to be long-term workers, who knew that these guys not only made trouble on the first day of work, but also almost smashed other people's granges, and also beat the people I sent to supervise the work!" β
Although he knew that he shouldn't laugh at Master Chen's predicament, Wang Fulin couldn't help it at this moment, and laughed directly. Seeing that Master Chen was glaring at him with an angry face, he said with a smile: "Master Chen, you are old, and you have walked more bridges than I have walked. I shouldn't say anything about reasoning. But you really dare to think about it. If these people are really willing to work steadfastly. Whether it is a long or short work, or a lathe and satin weaver in the machine shop, or even a mason, a groom, and a sedan chair man, they can always barely make ends meet, but since they have chosen to work that way, how easy is it to return to the days of working every day? β
Master Chen didn't know what Wang Fulin said. It's just because the entourage of Zhejiang Governor Wu Lian hinted that Wu Lian attaches great importance to turning these crackdowns into good. He thought about quickly eliminating the previous bad influence, and by the way, he also smelled a little opportunity, thinking that if he could take the opportunity to establish his prestige, he would unify the dozens of families on the ground of the lake villa in the future, and then the magistrate would have to be respectful when he saw him. As a result, because of the Beixinguan Rebellion, those people were originally guilty, and he himself was a tyrant in Hangzhou, and there were many brave and ruthless people under his hands, and he also had some dealings with several of the best mixed businesses. As soon as the heart was horizontal, he directly used high-pressure means.
But I hit a wall! Those mud legs were directly carried by him!
"Don't gossip, you don't care?"
"No matter." Wang Fulin saw that Master Chen suddenly turned purple. As if he wanted to turn his face against the table, he smiled and said, "But I'll find someone to take care of it." β
Master Chen originally wanted to lift the table, but when he heard Wang Fulin's second half of the words, he was skeptical, and finally sat back. He really suffered too many losses at the hands of such a young man, and instinctively didn't want to make things too stiff, and he just wanted to ask Wang Fulin to say a word to him in front of Wu Lian, the governor of Zhejiang, and throw this hot potato out to finish. Therefore, he forced out a smile and said in a low voice: "Who is the little official going to invite to come forward?" β
"Master Chen, apart from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion on the other side of the lake villa, are there any other vacant properties? It is best to have a small courtyard behind the faΓ§ade. Don't worry, I don't want you in vain, there is only one market transaction, and I want it immediately, no later than noon tomorrow. I might as well tell you that when the time comes, the pressure on your side will be less as soon as the signboard is hung there. β
Last time, I had already learned the rogue peeling style of Zhu Zheng, the head of the Beixin Guanhu Department, so Master Chen was taken aback at first when he heard Wang Fulin's request, and when he picked out the market price to trade, he immediately asked for it, and he was a little relieved. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said: "Yes, there are three fronts and two courtyards, but there are also one or twenty rooms in the front and back main rooms. It's not far from my blocked yards, the market is first-class, but the price is not cheap, take it on both sides, at least 10,000 taels! β
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Wang Fulin suddenly stand up and leave, and then hurriedly shouted: "Do you think this price is high and can be discussed, how can there be such a thing!" β
"Master Chen, I don't like to drag mud and water, a fixed price, you quote it again, if it's so outrageous again, I'll turn around and leave!"
Seeing that Wang Fulin looked like he was going to leave anytime and anywhere, Master Chen coughed dryly and said: "Okay, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, and I won't coax you, eight thousand taels, it can't be lower." β
"Eight thousand is eight thousand."
Wang Fulin agreed very happily this time, and he made a lot of money on Putuo Mountain, and Mrs. Su did things vigorously, except for the two boxes of gems, the rest were sold, and the Sumu pepper was also exchanged for cash, otherwise he would be smashing the pot and selling iron, and he would not be able to make so much money in Hangzhou at once! At this time, he sat down again, hooked his hand and motioned for Master Chen to come closer, and then whispered to him, seeing that people's eyes flickered, obviously not very convinced, he smiled: "In short, pack it up as much as possible, and we'll see tomorrow." Even if you can't, you won't lose. β
Master Chen is now a dead horse and a live horse doctor, anyway, he has no choice at the moment, and the hundreds of people under his hands are simply not enough to fill in front of those fighting lines, and there are even people who secretly communicate with those guys who kill a thousand knives. Therefore, thinking that he opened his eyes and said nonsense, he finally sold the two connected shops that were not doing well, and made a thousand taels, and made up for the total of five hundred taels of silver that he had lost to Wang Fulin, so he believed it once. Especially when Wang Fulin said that he would bring the deed over tomorrow morning, and after paying the money, he would go directly to the yamen to deliver the deed, and his heart was half relieved.
In the afternoon of the next day, most of the shops in the lake villa were bustling with people as usual, and the cries of selling were endless. However, in the courtyard or in front of a few small buildings with bright facades and red lanterns, one or two dozen big men sat on the ground, shouting five and drinking, throwing dice and gambling money, occupying more than half of the road, but the pedestrians on the road dared not speak out, and some even took a detour. And in these courtyards or small buildings, the brightly dressed bustard mother looked at the rough men outside worriedly, and inevitably some people snorted and scolded, but no one dared to go out to find fault.
On the first day before the head, there were still people who thought they were powerful, and they went out to sprinkle it, but then their faces were swollen into a pig's head, and they are still lying on the bed and humming, who can afford to provoke these brave and ruthless guys!
"No one can clean up these guys? How many errand soldiers did the Qiantang County Government of Hangzhou raise and what did they do at the critical moment! β
One of the ** spittled at the turtle boy who was spitting at the bottom of the head, and he was mad because he couldn't do business every night for the past few days. But she herself also knew that the place where the gang of people who fought to make trouble was undoubtedly very smart, if it was in the city of Hangzhou, under the noses of the people in the official government, and the rich and noble families lacked this little fun, they would naturally make trouble in the prefecture and county, and then the errand would have to be dispatched. But the few courtyards here in Beixinguan are of low grade, and the people who come and go are at most medium-sized businessmen, or small merchants, and no one cares about them after Master Chen is mad, which is enough to see the shape.
These guys are not easy to mess with!
Just when she was sulking alone, she saw that behind the rough men outside, someone probed her brain, and it looked like a cronie next to Master Chen. The guys outside blocked the door, and they couldn't help but stop buying or other daily necessities, but they kept all the customers out. At this moment, seeing that the little guy was looking around sneakily, but had no intention of coming in, the bustard's mother suddenly frowned.
What is this kid afraid of when he dodges? Hell, is it because you're afraid of being beaten?
It was too late, it was too fast, and the little guy who had turned around hadn't made much movement, but he only heard a deafening sound of artillery suddenly sounding from not too far away. I don't know how many passers-by were alarmed by this crackling sound, and many of them were looking at the place where the artillery was fired, especially when they found that the cannon was hanging one after another, and it was clear that the shop that was about to open was an extremely rich owner, which immediately attracted the curiosity of many people. Almost at the same time that the artillery battle ended, someone shouted.
"Zhong Nanfeng has filled the army, but the group of people under him have turned over, and they have opened a new dart game in this lake villa, and a total of six shops on both sides have been ordered!"
"All of them are dressed in crisp blue silk clothes, and they look like dogs!"
"Let's go and see, there are people from the government over there who give them a reward of silver, a total of five hundred taels, saying that it was the bonus for catching water bandits on the water!"
In an instant, countless people on the street rushed to tell each other, and they all went to see the excitement. A group of rough men who were sitting quietly at the gate of the courtyard couldn't help but look at each other, and then exchanged their heads and ears. are all mixed on the street, although Zhong Nanfeng is famous, but not everyone under him is famous, when he thinks that these people are actually whitewashed, and now they are dressed well, eat and drink spicy, and they can even get silver from the government, and some people can't sit still, Huo Ran stood up. Someone was about to stop him, but the man shouted, "Whoever comes to this kind of place in the middle of the day, go and see the excitement first, and then it's not too late to block the door later!" β
These words are in the hands of other people who want to see the excitement, and for a while, men who pat their butts and stand up abound, and in this context, the initial stop was also uninteresting. However, after a short while, I saw that one or twenty people followed other passers-by who were watching the excitement, and they walked away cleanly in a short time. It was only at this time that the little maid at the beginning slipped into the courtyard and said to the bustard's mother, who was completely unknown: "Sixth aunt, the master asked me to bring you a message, clean it up, and I should be able to welcome guests seriously at night." β
The bustard's mother, who was called the sixth aunt, felt a little confused. What kind of dart game has she never heard of in this lake villa realm, and she can send away those rough men who kill a thousand knives? Sir, what kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd? (To be continued......)
