Chapter Forty-Eight: The Soldiers Are Coming to Block
Early in the morning, the fireworks alley slowly depressed down, a night of warbler singing and dancing, the tired boy buddy with reluctance to sit on the sedan chair carriage and horse quietly go home. But today seems to be particularly abnormal, before dawn, the Yunxiao Pavilion near the Flower Pavilion ushered in a guest.
This guest is wearing a round-necked shirt, fair skin, handsome appearance, but the voice is shrill, and there is a snarky taste in his demeanor, this kind of person is a eunuch from the palace at a glance, this eunuch didn't say anything, indirectly took out an ingot, booked the top floor of the street wing, and didn't even call the girl who sang the song, only asked Yunxiao Pavilion to prepare melons and fruits here, and there will be distinguished guests later.
After waiting for half an hour, four or five carriages arrived at the attic of the Cloud Pavilion, and first there were seven or eight burly men, listening to all directions, and a pair of desolate eyes, which made people dare not despise.
After that, there was a little boy in a round-necked robe, the size of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a very burly body, like a calf, with a small stubble of thin fluffy and short beard under his chin, his eyes were clear, he looked up at the signboard of Yunxiao Pavilion, grinned, and said, "Liu Banban, is this here?" ”
"Young Master......" This is called Liu Companion, the eunuch who came to book a room today, he cautiously followed behind this son, and said with a smile: "This is it, you see that the field of vision here is wide, and from the top floor to the street, you can see the fireworks alley at a glance." ”
The little young master grinned, patted Liu Companion's shoulder, and said, "Well done, go, go, let's go upstairs." ”
Entering this Yunxiao Pavilion, it was already the end of the song, and only two handymen were cleaning, but a young woman came up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Guest officer......"
"What a beauty...... "When the little young master saw this young woman, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say stupidly: "Do you have a husband?" Who is your husband? ”
This old bustard was angry for a while, ordinary guests came to flip the brand and order the girl, and this is an unusual green building, where can you ask someone's husband when you see someone? However, the identity of this little young master must be extraordinary, and the old bustard still laughed: "The little young master said that he was laughing." The slave will lead you upstairs. ”
Only then did the little young master remember what was going on, and said with interest: "Okay, go upstairs." ”
When I arrived at the side room, all the windows by the street were opened, and sure enough, the sight was unobstructed, someone had already sent melons and fruits, cakes, and tea, and the little young master sat down unceremoniously in the position near the window, although the four or five people around him were all richly dressed, but no one dared to sit, and the little young master who was called Liu Companion stood bent down and said, "Young master, eat some pastries, don't be hungry." ”
The little master ate a piece of pastry casually, took another sip of tea, and said with interest: "It's good here, but it's a pity that it's too quiet, why haven't those fans from Dongchang come yet?" Liu Banban, is your news reliable? ”
Liu Banban hurriedly said: "Absolutely reliable, young master, the slave is to listen to what the little marquis of Jiangxia said." ”
The little young master said: "Jiang Xiahou's words, do you also believe it?" This man is unreliable. ”
Liu Banban was still smiling, and said calmly: "Jiang Xiahou said that he heard from Miss Wen. ”
"Miss Wen? Is that Wen what is and what is not? ”
"Yes, it's that Miss Wen." Liu Banban's smile became brighter and brighter.
The little young master said: "If it is her news, this is somewhat credible, I heard that Liu Baihu is extraordinary and a master, and today is just the right time to open his eyes." ”
The little young master was full of interest, and he looked completely afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Just opposite the Cuiyun Tower, there were also a few carriages at the same time, the first to get off was still the burly guard, and then one by one people wearing Confucian shirts got off, although several people were wearing Confucian shirts, but the figure of Miaoman could not be stopped, the leader was even more shocking, white clothes and black hair, the skin was faintly shiny flowing, and a pair of clear eyes flashed with a glass light. The appearance is picturesque, and there is a bit of a smell of grace.
If you look closely, you will know that this person is a woman disguised as a man, but the face of this beautiful woman disguised as a man is grim, and her eyes happen to fall on the horses of several cars parked across the street, and she can't help but say, "Why is my restless brother also here?" Morning ......"
Following this handsome beauty was Wen Chenruo, who was dressed as a man and heroic, Wen Chenruo couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "General." ”
is obviously wearing a Confucian shirt, but he is called a general, and if he is heard by others, most of them will find it funny. However, this beauty in men's clothes looked at Wen Chenruo angrily and said, "You long-tongued woman, sooner or later, you will pull out your **, it must be the news that you spread out." ”
Wen Chenruo clenched his fist and said indignantly: "General, don't underestimate people, no matter what, I am also the left vanguard of the women's battalion, and I have always been tight-lipped and never leaked secrets." ”
The female general couldn't help but take a sip of her and said, "Last time, you leaked the news, and let my mother know." ”
Wen Chenruo's face turned red and said, "Last time it was just an accident. ”
The female general said: "What about this time? ”
Wen Chenruo said angrily: "This time it has nothing to do with me at all, General Mingjian." Heck, let's go upstairs, the show is about to begin. ”
The female general was helpless and said, "I'll clean you up later." ”
The early morning mist slowly dissipated, and a group of brown-shirted fans appeared in the fireworks alley, these fans did not carry knives, but everyone carried a wooden stick, under the leadership of the stall head, swarming in like a tide.
On the side of the East Factory, almost all the fans who can be transferred have been transferred, there are hundreds of people, although the leaders of the East Factory have not come forward, that is, hundreds of households have disappeared, but everyone knows that the East Factory is going to move seriously. If the Jinyi Guards dare to smash the Flower Pavilion, they will be able to smash the entire fireworks alley, and as for the Jinyi Guards on the street, they don't pay attention to them.
Occasionally, a few Jinyi guards patrolling the street saw this battle, and the fast ones reacted quickly and fled towards the guard station, and the slow ones were surrounded by the fans, and there was a burst of sticks and kicks, and the tranquility of the fireworks alley was finally interrupted.
On the side of the hundred households, the news has come, and the captains who have been on call for a long time have also changed their sticks, and when they heard that Fanzi was coming, they were already indignant. Now everyone is fifty taels a month, not counting all kinds of pensions, it can be said that everyone is very rich, and now the fans of the East Factory are here, to put it bluntly, they are here to grab money, these captains are okay to say, once it comes to money, it is not easy to speak.
"Fight!" The crowd let out a low roar, and they didn't need to be encouraged at all, and their morale was already like a rainbow.
"Whoever dares to smash the fireworks alley is to kill my parents."
"I don't share the sky."
The lieutenants talked about it, and finally their eyes fell on the lobby of the hundred households.
Liu Chengfeng came over early in the morning, and he had already ordered the Wang Si to invite people, and the invited were all hundreds of households in the nearby neighborhoods, Liu Chengfeng was invited, and everyone was willing to come, and the two pillars of incense kung fu came to seven or eight, Liu Chengfeng greeted them with a smile, and everyone was also polite to Liu Chengfeng with a smile. Who in the guard house now doesn't know that Liu Baihu's waist is hard? There are people who support their backs, and they are so fat that they can't be offended in any way.
After being polite, Liu Chengfeng smiled quietly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Fireworks Hutong has been the territory of the guard since ancient times, and this was the case during the Chengzu period. Later, it was taken away by the East Factory, and now the people of the East Factory are really too deceitful, and they even brought people to make trouble in the fireworks alley, everyone is the brother of the guard, how can they sit idly by? ”
Liu Chengfeng's words couldn't be clearer, that is, he wanted the help of the hundreds of households, and the hundreds of households looked at each other, and one of them said: "Liu Baihu, what are these words?" We each have our own errands, and there is a shortage of manpower in my 100 households, and there are people who sit in the hall and people who patrol the streets, and there is really no one who can be dispatched......"
The rest of the people nodded one after another and said, "I really can't get someone to be transferred." ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled quietly and said, "Of course, don't be in a hurry to refuse, Liu will not let everyone work in vain, and will definitely give everyone a little benefit." ”
"Money is a trivial matter, if it is really a person who is transferred, do we dare to ask for Liu Baihu's money? Liu Baihu also underestimated us too much, but ......"
Liu Chengfeng continued: "One thousand taels of silver for each hundred households, and if one person is transferred, an additional twenty taels will be added, and if someone is injured, there will be a bereavement pension. ”
All the hundreds of households were stunned, and they were generous, so if they were calculated, they only needed to be willing to have more people, and they could earn two or three thousand taels of silver as soon as they changed hands, and the ordinary hundred households were only a few hundred taels of oil and water all year round, and this kind of good thing really couldn't be found with a lantern.
"Phew! Dongchang is too much to bully, how can we, as Jinyiwei, sit idly by? Hmph, they want to fight, don't we dare to fight? One person is in trouble, support from all sides, and now there is chaos here in Liu Baihu, can we stand by and watch? No! It's just a few examples, if they dare to make trouble, we dare to fight back. ”
The hundreds of households were excited, and they were originally afraid of the East Factory, but now that they think about it, they don't have to be afraid of anything if the East Factory is so blatant, Jin Yiwei is Jin Yiwei, and the East Factory is the East Factory, no matter how long the father-in-law's hands are, can they still hold themselves? Besides, if Dongchang really wants to clean up people, the first to clean up is Liu Chengfeng, and if he doesn't make such a large amount of money at the moment, he is a fool.
