Chapter 322: Mud Bodhisattva
I was happy in my heart, it sounds like the rhythm of my senior brothers coming to Jinling City, there is such an arrogant gang in the world, except for stealing the Holy Gate, there is no one. As for stealing immortals, it's simply humiliating. And I rejoiced, it was serious? That's great!
Song Chengcai was confused, what does Master Su mean by this?
I hurriedly coughed twice, I revealed my true feelings just now, and I didn't control my emotions, so I said with a stiff face, Song Zhu is working hard, we, as law enforcement officers of the imperial court, must be severely cracked down on this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, I believe you, there is absolutely no problem. Song Chengcai also snorted coldly, it's better not to let me catch them, otherwise they will feel better.
I took out a tael of silver, threw it to him, and said, I invite my brothers to tea!
Song Chengcai is considered an old man in the six gates of Jinling. This person works hard, and he has the ability, but he will not meet his boss, and he is very suppressed in the six doors of public arrest. Back then, he and Zhuge were caught fast at the same time, but the master of the baked cakes would come to work again, and he knew how to serve the leader, so he slowly rose from catching fast to catching heads, and then to catching heads. It stands to reason that Zhuge should bring Song Chengcai with him, but on the contrary, he has never had a good impression of Song Chengcai. Now that they are in their forties, there is not much room for improvement.
Song Chengcai hurriedly thanked him, glanced at Xie Junyan, and said, Master Su, this is Mrs., you look really smart, you are blessed.
I said in my heart that he was a sycophant again, and he had nothing to say, so he must have something, so I asked, Song Yukuai, everyone is brothers, just say something.
Song Chengcai said, Master Su, look, is there still a shortage of people on your Jianghu Division?
I suddenly realized in my heart that he couldn't do it on Zhuge Baked Cakes, and wanted to jump to Jianghu Division, so he said, the lack of people is great, but Song Zhukuai is a person from Lord Zhuge Lord's side, if I go directly to ask for someone, there will be some broken rules. If you really have a mind, it is better to discuss a charter with Zhuge Yaobi, and I agree with my hands and feet here.
With the current relationship between me and Zhuge Yaobi, although I haven't torn my face, I want to ask him directly, and with his temperament, I will definitely not let people go. Of course, there is another reason that if I go out to ask for it, it must be another favor, and the favor will have to be repaid sooner or later, for the sake of this Song Chengcai, I can't do this.
At this time, a small catcher came quickly and said to Song Chengcai, team leader, according to your orders, everything is arranged, just wait for the fish to take the bait. Song Chengcai said, you go and wait first, and I will come right away.
I wondered, what is the matter?
Song Chengcai's face turned red and said, do some small business and earn some pocket money for the brothers.
I didn't ask in detail, in Jinling City Gate, cats have cat paths, rats have rat roads, every industry has a way to make money, stealing is the same, officials are like this, businessmen are like this, and bandits are also like this. These catch fast, on weekdays, they are responsible for public security, anti-theft, scare and scare little ruffians, and get a few hooligans to succeed, if you really encounter a Jiangyang thief who kills people without blinking, he runs faster than a rabbit.
On the long street, gongs and drums sounded, and the crowd rushed to the sound. But in the middle of the road, there were ten horses pulling a Dharma platform and parading the streets.
There is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the Dharma platform, which is more than one zhang high. There are idlers, this is the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva that the strict prison students in the west of the city spent 30,000 catties of brass and 100 catties of gold powder, which looks really magnificent!
Someone else asked, which rich man?
It is the strict prison student who donated an official to his younger brother, and his younger brother is now sent to Huguang as a salt official, and this guy has become an upstart by selling salt, which is not a golden statue of a Bodhisattva, boasting about the street!
I have heard Jiangnan say this person, this strict prison student has always been stingy, known as the goose plucked feathers, very stingy, it is said that one day he was stewing meat, a beggar passed by his door, smelled a mouthful of meat, he stopped people to charge five cents for the taste fee, this matter is widely spread in Jinling City, this strict prison student has also become a "celebrity" in Jinling City.
It's just that today, I don't know how to change my temper and become so generous?
As soon as you know the humanity, you don't know, now that Yan Jian has made a fortune, he has always wanted to integrate into the gentry and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, but everyone knows his temperament and refuses to accept him, especially if he wants to enter the circle, he needs to have a recommender, and there is a member who wants to trick him, so he put forward a condition to him, saying that he would mold a high-level Guanyin statue for Tongshan Temple. This is not today, it is the beating of gongs and drums to send the past.
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case, but the 30,000 catties of brass, 100 catties of gold, and this statue cost at least 20,000 taels of silver. However, since ancient times, reluctant to have children can't trap wolves, reluctant wives can't trap hooligans, if strict prison students can really blend into the circle, this investment is worth it!
Suddenly, I saw a pair of golden boys and girls on the altar, scattering flowers in the air.
Although I don't know the golden boy, I know this jade girl very well. It's none other than Lin Hongyi, who robbed the Immortal Gate, and Zhang Youqian's friend. Unexpectedly, she also came to Jinling, could it be because of Ximen blowing the lantern and Li Qingyi's bet? It is estimated that Zhang Youqian did not know about this, otherwise he would have rushed over a long time ago.
Lin Hongyi also saw me, winked at me, and pointed to the bronze statue again, meaning that he wanted to attack this behemoth. I said in my heart that if I can steal this thing in the crowd, even a few senior brothers who steal the Holy Gate can't do it, so this competition between stealing the Holy Gate and stealing the Immortal Gate will definitely fall behind.
Dressed in a big red robe with a big red flower on his chest, the prison boy hired five or six gongs and drummers, and there was no sound of beating. Especially for those who beat the drum, the double drumsticks only use one beat, and the gong is only struck on the side, not the center, which sounds dull and dumb. Yan Jian Sheng rushed behind and said, "Guys, give me a hard beating!"
A few gong and drummers reasoned with him, and although their voices were low, they couldn't hide my true spirit.
The drummer said, Master Yan, we have been beating you for three days, and we have said that you will only have one meal a day, or pickles, we really don't have the strength to knock it.
Yan Jiansheng glared and said, we have all signed a contract, if you don't work hard, I will go back to the government and accuse you of cheating.
The drummer said, Master Yan has no reason, isn't it written on paper? No chicken, no duck, no fish, no meat, no rice, noodles, a plate of vegetables is enough!
Yan Jiansheng sneered, I didn't say that, the document was written in black and white, and it was clear. No chicken and duck, no fish, no rice noodles, and a dish of vegetables is enough.
The drummer said angrily, you don't bully us honest people, we can't do this job.
Yan Jian Sheng said, if you don't do it, you won't be able to get a penny of copper plates.
The drummer was probably distressed about the money, and discussed it with a few people, and then he started beating hard again.
A few beggars stepped forward and said, Boss Yan, have a good day today, scatter some wealth!
Yan Jiansheng scolded in a low voice.
This kind of day is the time when beggars and thieves get rich, especially the beggar gang, if they really offend them, stop in the middle of the road for a burst of lotus flowers, these are the heirlooms of the beggar gang. If you give money, he will praise you as a god in heaven and a saint on earth. If you don't give him money, or insult him twice, he will scold you for not worth a penny, and that feeling is like eating a fly.
Therefore, ordinary people, when they encounter this kind of beggar holding a bamboo board, they will symbolically send him a few copper plates away. The beggar business, yes, yes, there is no more, no less, but if you say two ugly words, then you are unlucky, their scolding words are all sets without repetition, and you can say any cheap words, and it is not convenient for you to fight back.
This kind of person is a member of the beggar gang dirty clothes faction.
Of course, the beggars also have a clean clothes faction, who wears bright clothes, goes in and out of the courtyards of dignitaries and dignitaries, and disdains the people of the dirty clothes faction, and says that the dirty clothes faction is vulgar, kitsch, and vulgar, and it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall. Yan Jiansheng was blocked by the beggars of the Dirty Clothes Sect to beg, so he ordered the house slaves to take out some flour ingots from a basket next to them and sprinkle them around. This kind of noodle ingots, generally during the New Year's Festival, are made out with dough and impressions, such as ingots, and some are even painted yellow, looking like golden ingots.
This kind of noodle ingots are generally used for sacrifices, and I can't imagine that Yan Jiansheng can come up with this trick, it's really a good house!
Xie Junyan sneered when he saw this, and said, I heard when I was a child that there are four treasures in Jinling, and this strict prison student accounts for one of them. Back then, he bought a salted fish to hang on the beam of the house, and several wives took rice to watch a bite of fish and eat a mouthful of rice. There was a little wife who took a second look, and was taught by him, saying, look at it again, kill you!
I also laughed and said, I thought that this was mostly someone who was chiseled and chiseled, but now it seems that it is also in line with his temperament.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it a dark cloud. However, after a few breaths, it rained heavily in the entire Jinling City, and I took Xie Junyan to a restaurant to avoid the rain. At this time, he saw Lin Hongyi jumping up, came to the carriage, knocked the coachman to the ground with one kick, grabbed the reins, pulled the horse's head, and shouted, Drive!
After running a dozen steps, I saw a piece of black pressing towards Lin Hongyi!
Lin Hongyi was startled, and hurriedly dodged to the side.
Bang!
The whole carriage was smashed over, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva, which was made of "30,000 catties of copper and 100 catties of gold dust", was shattered into muddy water and sprinkled on the ground.
The rain comes quickly, and it goes quickly.
The whole long street was full of mud.
A few beggars have long been dissatisfied with Yan Jiansheng throwing noodles and ingots to send them away, and other beggars are also dignified, so they held bamboo boards and sang one by one, saying: Yan Jiansheng, a true and kind person, 30,000 catties of copper and 100 gold powder, won a reputation for generosity, and did not lose to Meng Weijun of Qi State. It's a pity that good things don't go out, heavy rain and rain rain from the sky, who expected the Bodhisattva to show his true body, gold Bodhisattva, silver Bodhisattva, dare to love is a mud Bodhisattva.
The strict prisoner was ashamed, lowered his head, and ran back home with a cigarette.
