In a room in a railway guest house near the city, four men of all ages were drinking a simple dish of fried peanuts and a pound of pig's head.

If you put it in the past, such a person must be very eye-catching when he appears in a small town, because the floating population in this town is not very large, and basically a living person will be noticed.

However, during this time, there were not 1,000 but 800 people who rushed to the town from all over the country and overseas to attend Liu Yunjiao's funeral, and these four men were not so conspicuous.

"Sixth son, we are here to attend Old Man Liu's funeral, you should be more restrained, don't make trouble here."

The oldest man, who was probably in his early forties, poured a cup of Erguo into his mouth with a "zichu" sound, smacked his mouth, and said, "Sixth son, what did you go to do yesterday to find that Sun brother?" ”

"Big brother, didn't you have a business with Boss Sun before, and you always have to pay a visit when you come here, otherwise others will pick on them, right?"

Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a figure of about 1.7 meters, very thin, with long sharp-beaked monkey gills, and a pair of eyes that kept turning, giving people a very unstable feeling.

"You kid has a bad stomach, can you go to those two brothers if you have nothing to do?"

The middle-aged man knew his subordinate temperament very well, and when he saw his disapproving appearance, he immediately said: "Old man Liu's status in the rivers and lakes is not trivial, if you really want to cause trouble, in the future, we will not use this boundary north of the Yangtze River, you don't have some crooked ideas." ”

"What Old Man Liu? Didn't you lose the battle and hide on Taiwan Island? ”

The young man named Liuzi pursed his lips and said angrily: "This old immortal has been gone for decades, and he is still so majestic when he dies, and there are hundreds of people in our gang now, right?" Why do we all ignore those sects? ”

This society has always been divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the rivers and lakes are naturally no exception, from the court to the pawn and peddlers, all of which can be included in it.

Among the upper nine streams, there are first-class Buddhas, second-rate immortals, third-rate emperors, fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate pots (wineries), sixth-rate pawns (pawnshops), seventh-rate merchants (merchants), eight-guest (manor owners), and Jiuzhuang Tian (farmers).

There are upper nine streams, and naturally there are middle nine streams and lower nine streams.

The middle nine streams are divided into first-class juzi and second-rate doctors, third-rate feng shui (Mr. Feng Shui, Mr. Yin and Yang), fourth-rate batches (batch of eight characters, fortune tellers), fifth-rate Danqing (calligraphy and painting), sixth-rate phases (Xiangshi, lookers), and seven monks, eight daos, and nine qin chess (literati).

The lower nine streams are first-class witches and second-rate prostitutes, third-rate gods (gods and witches) and fourth-rate bangs (husbands), five shaved heads and six blowers (drummers and trumpeters), seven operas and eight street (beggars) and nine sugar sellers (candy blowers).

For thousands of years, the status of the rivers and lakes has also been continued from the upper, middle and lower 3927 lines, of course, although there are only 27 lines, in fact, it is far more than that.

For example, the fifth-rate "head shaving" in the lower nine streams includes pedicures, running halls, pulling cars, as well as massages, clerks, dancers, helpers and other service industries.

The people who were drinking looked neatly dressed, but in fact they were beggars in a southern city, and there was a patch on their clothes in the inconspicuous places, which could be seen through their identities at a glance in the eyes of connoisseurs.

The middle-aged man's surname is Hao, he also looks fat and big-eared, and he looks kind, but in fact he is the boss of the beggar gate in the southern city, and when he stabs people with a knife at the bottom, he still has a smile on his face, and is called a smiling tiger.

And the person named Liuzi is the backbone of the door who is responsible for collecting children from all over the world, and he is high-eyed and ruthless.

"Big brother, let's eat and drink spicy food at home, why bother to hold this dead old man's stinky feet?"

The sixth son drank a glass of stuffy wine, with an indignant look on his face, they rushed thousands of miles to mourn the old man Liu, but they didn't think that the Liu family was lukewarm, which made the young and vigorous Liuzi feel uneasy.

"You know what a fart, although Old Man Liu has been in Taiwan Island for decades, he has many protégés, who dares not to sell him three points of face in the martial arts of the north and south of the country?"

Although Boss Hao was scolding, his face still looked smiling, "Our sect is unspeakable in the rivers and lakes, and there are a lot of bad things, this time I don't want anything else, as long as I can make some connections, maybe I can use it in the future." ”

The beggar gate and the prostitution door are somewhat similar, although the history of existence is the oldest, but it has always been on the table, and there is also a lack of force deterrence, in some battles, it is often they who suffer from Zuihou.

Therefore, Boss Hao took the opportunity of Old Man Liu's death to come to condolences dryly, and sent a lot of paper burning money, just to make a good relationship with these martial arts people.

But what Boss Hao didn't expect was that the Liu family didn't give them face at all after receiving the money, and Zuihou didn't even inform them of the funeral one day, and Zuihou's banquet naturally didn't catch up.

Being despised so much, even if Boss Hao was in the city, he was furious in his heart, so he made his subordinates buy vegetables and drink in the guest house.

"Damn, boss, I'm not convinced, why can those ladies from Orchid Gate sit in the hall, and our masters want to drink here?"

Liuzi suddenly slapped the table, and said with red eyes: "Also, those rags can be included in the outer eight gates, and we are actually excluded from the outside, what the hell is this?" ”

"Huh? Liuzi, be quiet, don't talk nonsense. Boss Hao was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Do you see clearly? Is there really someone from the Orchid Gate? ”

Orchid Gate is one of the eight gates outside the rivers and lakes, that is, what we usually understand as prostitutes, these women all make a living by selling sex, although they are the most spurned industry among the hundreds of thousands of rivers and lakes, and it is also the most indispensable industry.

There are no corpse craftsmen in Xiangxi in the society, and there are no craftsmen who manufacture pin machines, and the world will not be surprised if these industries disappear, but only orchids are indispensable.

From ancient times to the present, no matter how the official suppresses it, no matter what the world evaluates, the orchid industry has been thriving, and in 92 it will be even more popular in southern cities.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the women in the party are from the Orchid Gate.

On the contrary, those ladies who do the stage in the night market are not from the rivers and lakes nine times out of ten, and the orchid door also has its special symbol, that is, on the placket, it is often embroidered with a phoenix.

Although he led a group of people to do the business of begging, Boss Hao also looked down on those happy women, so after hearing the words of the sixth son, there was also anger in his voice.

"Boss, my sixth son eats with these eyes, how can he be wrong?"

Liuzi raised his head and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, smacked his mouth, and then said, "Isn't that the public relations manager of our rich man?" If she weren't from the Orchid Gate, the boss, you would have dug up the two tricks of the six sons! ”

Don't look at beggars have no social status, the world gives them either contempt or pity, but for Boss Hao, they live more comfortably than most people.

As a high-level leader of the Southern Beggars, Boss Hao was already a millionaire a few years ago, and with the expansion of the business, they can be said to be making money every day and accumulating a huge amount of black gold.

As a part of the people who got rich at the same time as the reform and opening up, Hao Boss and others are naturally no strangers to the party, and the rich man shown by the sixth son is the most luxurious and extravagant nightclub in their city.

Boss Hao originally knew the public relations manager, but when he was mourning the old man a few days ago, he only cared about being close to others, but he didn't see it as real as Liuzi.

"Damn, the Liu family is too deceitful!"

Thinking that the identities of himself and others were not as good as some prostitutes in the eyes of the Liu family, Boss Hao finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, slammed the wine glass on the table, and said: "Sixth son, go buy a ticket, leave today, damn, although our faces are not very precious, we don't have to stick to other people's cold butts!" ”

"No, boss, since we're here, we have to bring something back!"

Seeing that he had successfully provoked the anger of Boss Hao, Liuzi couldn't help but smile proudly and said, "Big brother, come on such a trip, take the two of you back, you have been staring at the market on the other side of the Pearl River, and we are now a lot worse than manpower." ”

"Yes, eldest brother, the sixth brother is right."

After hearing the words of the sixth son, a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man next to him nodded, and said: "There are many people from Hong Kong and Macao on the other side of the Pearl River, and they are also generous. ”

"Oh? Second, do you think so? Boss Hao looked sideways at the man.

The person who spoke was called Qi Baoyu, originally from Xiangxi, because the young club was in the turmoil of the past ten years, it was smashing, looting, and burning, and then he couldn't stay in his hometown, so he went to the coastal city and got acquainted with Boss Hao.

"Big brother, find two children who pulled out their tongues and broke their legs, and threw them at the gate of the customs at the entrance and exit, and they can earn at least 1,008 yuan a day, I think it can be done."

Qi Baoyu looks like a human, but in fact, he has a stomach full of bad water, he is the number two person in this beggar sect, and he usually acts as a military advisor, and he has some vicious ideas that hurt heaven and reason.

Boss Hao thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "But this distance is too far, what if something happens along the way?" ”

It's not that Boss Hao is a good man and a woman, the key is that Cangzhou is thousands of miles away from the city where they are located, and this person is really not easy to bring back. PS: Dear friends, vote for recommendation!
