Chapter 1005: Not necessarily

Gao Gui served as deputy minister in Xingchaohai, and Chen Yizhong succeeded to the post of privy envoy after leaving Zhancheng, but he did not prevent Zhang Shijie from controlling the military power and assisted him in controlling the imperial situation, that is, he participated in preventing Zhao Yu from inheriting the throne. After the Battle of Yashan, the Xing Dynasty moved to Qiongzhou, and for this kind of official who stood on the wrong side, even if Zhao Yu and Zhang Shijie reached an understanding, they would naturally not continue to be reused, but they just arranged an idle post in the court and enjoyed the treatment of the deputy minister, which was actually a second line.

Therefore, for Gao Gui, Zhao Yu has almost no intersection with him, but he is routinely invited as an old minister at the annual New Year's Day court, which is to make a congratulatory watch every festival, and he is always outside the core of power. After the Xing Dynasty moved back to Lin'an, Gao Gui also reached the age of Zhishi and prayed for retirement. Zhao Yu approved, thinking that he hadn't made any trouble for himself for so many years, and he was an old minister of the former dynasty, so he became the prince of Xinyang County, retired with full salary, and the two descendants of Yin were also given an explanation.

It is said that Gao Gui can be regarded as a safe landing, and he can spend his old age in peace with only his pension, enjoy the joy of family, and no longer get involved in the disputes of the world. What Zhao Yu couldn't figure out was why he had a conflict with Zheng Sixiao, the new science and technology detective, and he was still high-profile on this bustling street, did he still want to exert some residual heat and want to do something, so he used Zheng Sixiao as a raft.

Although Zhao Yu was full of doubts, he didn't dare to make a judgment, and pulled Chen Shu through the crowd under the protection of the guards and came to the scene. Watching the excitement is always the favorite pastime of the Chinese people, and the crowd that was dispersed by the conflict just now gradually gathered over, and Zhao Hao seized a high platform to occupy the favorable terrain, where you can clearly see the situation in the field.

Tan Fei was very nervous, worried that once the emperor's identity was revealed, it would cause a bigger riot, so he commanded several guards to form a small circle formation to surround the emperor and the concubine, and when he saw that the other guards who were secretly following had also followed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and made a few gestures for them to arrange a defensive circle under the high platform, try to isolate the crowd, monitor and prevent any misdeeds from approaching the inner circle.

The guards only have the emperor in their eyes, and if necessary, they will not hesitate to kill all the people around them, and at the moment, the matter is urgent, and they can't take care of much, they each cut in from different directions, and then work together to squeeze out the people around the high platform. was suddenly squeezed out, some people were naturally unhappy, but look at a man who was much bigger than himself, with a fierce light in his eyes, and his hand touched his waist, he immediately understood that these people were by no means good, and they could not be provoked by themselves, so they could only mumble a few words and stay away from these wicked people.

Zhao Hao has always planned before acting, and naturally he will not rush to intervene without knowing the truth, let alone take action. At present, the officials of Lin'an Mansion have also gathered twenty or thirty people, confronting a group of people, but it is obvious that the number of opponents will occupy the majority. It is said that Zheng Sixiao, the Tanhua who caused the incident, had a crooked hat, disheveled clothes, and was covered with dust at the moment, but he stood in the middle of the two teams of people like a spokesman for Lin'an Mansion and loudly scolded each other.

However, Zhao Yu still couldn't figure out the reason for the conflict from Zheng Sixiao's words and the other party's scolding, but in fact, there was never a shortage of good deeds in this situation, and they never let go of the opportunity to show off, so as to get some satisfaction. It just so happened that there was such a person beside him, and he was dressed as an idler who often helped outside the restaurant.

'Idler' sounds derogatory, meaning a man who has nothing to do and does not do his job. But they are different from the brave and ruthless robbers, more like street gangsters, scoundrels, and lazy people. But they also need means of livelihood in order to survive, so they also have different names, in fact, they are all incorruptible, shameless, thick-skinned and greedy scoundrels.

There are some people who know a little bit of literature and ink and know how to play back-and-forth, play chess, and talk about stunts and jokes, these people specialize in camping among the children of rich families, and eat white food by helping prostitutes to stick food, accompany gambling and drinking, and flatter and cheer, these people are called "sticking food", "helping", "clearing" and "playing mouth"; Some idlers mingle in brothels all day long, helping the old bustard lure rich children to prostitute and spend money, writing letters for fans, helping lonely old people pass on books, and making romantic tea and dinner.

Some people get some candy, melon seeds, head oil, and pollen as a starting point, and go to restaurants, tea shops, brothels, and other rich children to get camp, serve and wait, and offer things to beg for rewards. In addition, some idlers rely on their own ability to speak and have some social connections, do some debt insurance, transaction intermediary work, ghostwriting for the poor, rely on the rich to beg for food, extract molecules from them, and eat kickbacks.

There is no skill, and there is no ability to flatter, wandering around the street, asking who is doing a happy event, so go to the door early, help with chores, entertainment, and join in the fun, who does the funeral, go to act as a bang, who is promoted to the official, on the list, on the door to report the good news, there is food, drink and reward, and you can also get some extra oil and water, this kind of idler is also called "idle" and "idle", and it is the worst mix among the idlers. In addition, there is also the title of "flower-legged idler", who likes to tattoo flowers on his legs and swagger through the market, just like a modern avant-garde teenager.

The idler next to Zhao Yu was obviously mixed in the restaurant, and it had already been seen that he wanted to be anxious to understand the situation on the field, he was not very old, and he was obviously not deeply involved in the world, which was a good goal, and it should not be a problem to mix some rewards. But he wanted to come over but was blocked by the guards, and it was difficult to get closer, and he also knew that when things became clear, his 'wealth' would be gone, and he was anxious to scratch his head and make a gesture for a while, trying to attract the attention of the master, which was really funny.

Zhao Yu is naturally no stranger to the profession of idlers at the bottom of society, which has never been extinct in any era, and the absence of them in society seems to be lacking something, but these people can also meet the special needs of some people. Just like the modern 'scalpers' who are mixed in hospitals, stations, and hypermarkets, and the 'intermediaries' who help with various procedures in front of various departments, they are willing to spend a little money to do it for them in order to reduce trouble. And the current government also likes to use these people as eyeliner to collect information.

"Let him come and talk!" Zhao Yu glanced at Wang De and said softly.

"Gongzi An, little Li Gou'er listens to Gongzi's orders!" The idler finally squeezed in front of the main man, hurriedly saluted, and introduced himself, but he refused to get to the point.

"My son-in-law wants to know what's going on here, don't be verbose, pick up the important thing and say!" Wang De naturally knew his thoughts, and took out a five-dollar banknote and stuffed it to him.

"Xie Gongzi reward, the dog is willing to serve!" Seeing that this son made a generous move, Li Gou'er was naturally overjoyed, only this five yuan was enough for him to have fun for a few days, of course, he also had the idea of rebellion, thinking that if he could keep up with such a rich man, his good days would come, and he naturally knew everything and tried his best to please. This Li Gou'er has witnessed what happened from the beginning, and begged for a living on this street, naturally well-informed, very familiar with the situation of the parties and their families, and has a good eloquence, telling the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Only then did Zhao Yu know that this Gao Gui was not as low-key and responsible as he knew before. After he returned to Lin'an, although he was still politically unhappy, after all, he had been a high-ranking official in the DPRK and China, and even if he only had an idle position, he had a very good face in the eyes of the world.

Gao Gui knew that he had made a mistake in his course and his political future was bleak, especially after witnessing the defeat of Yao Liangchen and Chen Yizhong, and realizing that there was no hope of recovery, he turned his mind to making money. He has been frustrated in officialdom over the years, but he has also accumulated some money, and there is no shortage of people in the house, so he took out his savings to return to Lin'an, and some businessmen who lost money were worried that their property would be confiscated, so they used some means to secretly intimidate or in the name of providing protection, and bought some shops and restaurants on the street at low prices and started business.

It didn't take long for Gao Gui, who was quite business-minded, actually took four or five restaurants and shops in Huaixinfang along the Zhonghe River, which was close to the office area of various ministries and provinces of the imperial court, and not far from the North Palace and the mansion area of high-ranking officials in the court, and it was also close to the golden business circle. As the imperial court's ban on officials doing business tightened, he simply retired and became a wealthy man.

At first, the Gao family was quite decent in business, paying taxes according to the rules and regulations, and being kind to neighbors. However, with the expansion of the scale, the competition will inevitably become more and more fierce, and people's ambitions will also swell with the increase of income, so he became greedy, and with the instigation of some ill-intentioned people, he began to use his connections in the officialdom and the idle men and scoundrels he raised to suppress his peers, encroach on the commons, and expand the business area on the original basis.

At first, some people were not convinced, argued with them, and even reported to the officials, but the Gao family was able to calm down the matter quickly. After several times, coupled with its deliberate dissemination, and the intention to invite the old friends who were still serving in the court to come to the banquet and drink, and take the opportunity to strengthen the momentum, the merchants here soon knew that the Gao family not only had an official background, but also could have a relationship with the emperor. This kind of rumor is naturally impossible for ordinary people to confirm, but in fact, the officials of the Gao family's restaurant often go in and out, and no one cares about the large-scale invasion of the street, so they also believe that the Gao family is something that ordinary people can afford.

Today's conflict is also accidental, because it is close to the Middle River, and residents and businesses along the river habitually dump garbage and sewage into the river. This spring, Zhao Hao was furious because of the peculiar smell of the river, and the officials under him naturally did not dare to slack off, and began to strictly investigate the dumping of dirt into the water, and began to investigate the phenomenon of street invasion, laying the foundation for subsequent transformation.

The government issued a series of bans and intensified inspections, so that merchants no longer dare to dump at will, but there are also lawless people who violate the ban and secretly dump into the river. And the Gao family not only did not restrain themselves, but as usual, they were seen by the officials who were inspected, and often only said a few words and did not punish them, and the Gao family was still like this afterwards.

But today Zheng Sixiao came here to wander around and invited people to have a drink here, he was originally a jealous and hateful person, and when he saw the guy from the Gao family restaurant dumping sewage into the river, he stepped forward to stop it. The Gao family has become arrogant, how to put a scholar in their eyes, there was a conflict in a few words, but Zheng Sixiao did not give in at all, and wanted to report to the official, so the Gao family's nursing home moved to teach him some lessons.

In the downtown brawl, the officials who patrolled couldn't ignore it, so they stepped forward to stop it. At this time, Zheng Sixiao revealed his identity as the imperial historian and demanded that the officials not only punish the Gao family for dumping garbage, but also ask them to strictly investigate the invasion of the street, otherwise they will be impeached. In this way, the Gao family and the officials of Lin'an Mansion were forced to a dead end, and everyone naturally knew that the imperial history had the right to hear the wind and play, and if it was not good, it would be stabbed in front of the emperor, and no one would have good fruit to eat at that time.

But at this time, the matter had already been opened in public, and the officials of Lin'an Mansion were not good at hiding it, so they asked the Gao family to clean up the garbage and hand over the murderers. And the Gao family knew that they had already caused trouble, but they were used to being arrogant during this time, but they did not put in their eyes a new history of the Liupin Patrol Palace, thinking that although they were new science and technology exploration flowers, they lacked connections when they first entered the officialdom, and as long as they were suppressed through relationships, they would not be passed on to the front of the palace.

And after weighing the pros and cons, the Gao family thought that they must not bow their heads at this moment, once they accepted the punishment of the officials and took people away, then the 'prestige' that they had built up with great difficulty would be gone, not only would they lose face, but no one on this street would be afraid of them anymore, and more troubles would follow. Therefore, if you don't do anything, the officials who are going to arrest people will also be beaten.

Lin'an Mansion is also the yamen in charge of public security in Gyeonggi, if it is beaten in public, but there is no indication of how to gain a foothold on the ground of the capital in the future. So they made a complaint to the officials on duty, and at the same time summoned their colleagues scattered all over the place to come to their aid. The Gao family did not show weakness, and also gathered manpower to form a confrontation with the officials, this is the beginning and end of the matter, and the people who eat melons are more concerned about who can win from it, but no one is worried about splashing blood!

"Hehe, Childe is even more lively now, Gao Xiangye is here!" Li Gou'er introduced the situation, but his eyes were not idle, and he saw a small sedan chair surrounded by more than a dozen family members to the scene, as soon as the person in the sedan chair appeared, he recognized the person, and smiled for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

'Bang, bang, bang......'

"Pedestrians quickly avoid, the inspection department is on business!" At this moment, the opening gong sounded again, and a group of soldiers also ran towards this side.

"This time, the officers and soldiers of the inspection department are also here, and it is even more lively, I don't know if this Gao Xiangye can stop it. If he settles this matter, I'm afraid that not only this Huaixinfang, but also no one in Henan will dare to mess with the Gao family! Li Gou'er said excitedly.

"Hehe, not necessarily!" Zhao Hao also smiled and said, "At the feet of this son of heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, the Gao family fought the imperial history and violated the law, he can still cover the sky with one hand!" ”

"Childe, if you don't like it, the Gao family is also an official, and under the protection of the officials, as long as you hide it from the official, everyone will be fine!" Li Gou'er shook his head, feeling that this son was too naïve......
