As for this gang of strongmen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the old village of Baihu Mountain, which was forcibly annexed by Zhu Biao in the past, was not completely deserted, it was only a place where some small groups of gangsters or gangs of strongmen in groups of three or two were temporarily stationed or borrowed nearby. In the last half a year, he is a clever civil engineering craftsman named Wang Xiao, and he is also a strong local bully-type figure, taking the opportunity to build a house for a large family, with his younger brother Wang He, who is also a craftsman, and the sons of the two families, Wang Hui, Wang Bin, Wang Yan and the craftsmen who followed, killed the big family and robbed the ill-gotten wealth they had accumulated and fled into Baihu Mountain, becoming the most powerful and murderous gang of rogues in the local area, and then occupied the old village of Baihu Mountain, and collected some rogue strongmen with a total of 3,200 people to rob.

The officers and soldiers of the county town once came to the nest of the new White Tiger bandits, but they were defeated, they may see that this group of people is not much of a fuss and is not a big threat, it is not worth moving the army, the real army or a hard hand, this group of people will not die and stay here to wait for being beaten and exterminated, they will flow into the White Tiger Mountain to continue to be a rogue, and then come back when the danger passes, the government is too lazy to entangle with this group of people, and there are no officers and soldiers to chase the nest.

Last month, there was a group of people who came to Qingzhou from the north, I don't know where they came from, it is said that there may be about 200 fierce men, I don't know the local situation, I accidentally passed through Baihu Mountain and was blocked by the Wang family father and son and wanted to rob, as a result, the father and son four heroes went into battle together and did not beat the four leaders of this group of outsiders, somehow, the two groups of people became a group. Wang Xiao is still the boss of the village, and the four new leaders are sitting in the second and fourth positions, etc., the two thieves converge, and the power of Baihu Mountain is getting bigger and bigger. The officers and soldiers of the county town did not dare to provoke it.

As a result, at the beginning of this month, a group of people joined in, that is, the gang in front of them, it is said that they are from the Daimyo Mansion and Bozhou, and many bandits who have families and mouths are basically from the same village, and somehow killed officials and rebelled and fled to Qingzhou.

Zhao Yue waved his hand to let the cavalry disperse to the shade of the tree to take a cool rest, and then looked at the gang of robbers who were guarding the two women and shouted, "What are you doing standing in the scorching sun?" Working under the sun, do you still need to play sunbathing to be healthier? Don't panic? ”

When the four men who were captured heard this, even though they were helpless to wait for the verdict of fate in their hearts, they couldn't help but open their mouths in astonishment. The Cangzhao cavalrymen who drank water and rested in the shade of the trees giggled and laughed. The second master sometimes does things that are inexplicable and make people feel undesirable or out of place. Even if they hadn't seen much of it, they had heard a lot, and they were not at all surprised by what Zhao Yue had just said to the robbers, and they also knew that this group of people would not die but might be a blessing in disguise.

And the gang of robbers had a strange look on their faces.

The relationship between the two sides is that of officials and bandits, robbery and robbery, and hostility, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies of life and death. This soldier who is as terrifying as a terrifying god of war, but his style is like a flying dragon above the nine heavens, a god who looks down on the common people, as if all kinds of creatures in the world are subordinate to his subjects, and they all have to listen to him, let alone the people who are the spirits of all things. It's not a difference between a soldier and a thief, you have to listen to him anyway.

These people don't move. Zhao Yue didn't pay much attention to it, and asked his subordinates to push the four captives to go to the nearest shade with him and Hua Rong, and then let the four people be bound, and let the subordinates also go to the side to enjoy the cool rest, without escort, they were not afraid of the four of them taking the opportunity to resist.

The four captives, old and young, look at me, I look at you, I really didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, or I knew that tossing in front of this seemingly young pawn was just humiliating myself, there was no weapon, no weapon was more useless, if you want to kill, you have to obey the dignity, it will be a shame to bother, or maybe you have hope or curiosity in your heart, and you want to see what this young man wants to do.

They all stood still.

The two women over there saw this side clearly, and their panicked and helpless expressions suddenly eased a lot, and they said something to the men around them.

The men finally dispersed, and also hid in the shade of the tree to cool off, but they still held their weapons tightly, and they also tried to get as close to Zhao Yue as possible, ready to do it at any time, but they saw that the strange pawn turned his head and looked at the two women again, and beckoned: "I want to discuss things with your relatives." A woman can hold up half the sky. Since you also carry knives and go into battle like men, and you are important members of your family, you should also come and listen and express your opinions and thoughts. ”

This time, he spoke in a much softer tone, no longer the kind of domineering command and reprimand he had before.

The robbers listened to Zhao Yue's words, and their expressions were strange again.

The two women were stunned for a moment, and saw that the relatives of the captives had complicated expressions, but they neither nodded in agreement nor shook their heads in disapproval, but one of the robbers in the shade of the tree hurriedly shook their heads and winked at the woman, which meant that they should not go over, and they would not be deceived and would automatically send them to the door to get them.

But the two women are obviously not the kind of people in the family who make decisions about everything that is common in the Great Song Dynasty, but they made a decision after a little hesitation, so they listened to Zhao Yue impatiently and greeted: "I said that you two beautiful little daughters-in-law, standing in the sun by yourself, are you afraid that your skin is too good and your appearance is too good?" ”

"I have limited time. Why don't you come here? ”

The two women came over at the answer, but still with their knives in their hands, and naturally stood beside the two robber leaders.

The relationship speaks for itself.

Hua Rong took a sip of the wine in the marching pot and stood aside with a smile to watch Zhao Yue play by himself.

He had heard a lot of Zhao Yue's strong and clever effects when he received the people in his photo, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Last time I accompanied Zhao Yue to make trouble, the bandit army swept through Shandong to collect Huyi Mountain, Zhao Fu and others, Zhao Yue and Zhao Fu were talking alone in the forest. Hua Rong didn't hear it in person. I finally have a chance today, and I have to take a good look at how different and effective Cangliang Xiaobawang's method of accepting people is.

Zhao Yue didn't know Hua Rong's playful thoughts.

He wiped the sweat on his face, took off the kind of hat that was unique to the Great Song Army, exposed his head, and fanned the wind with his hat, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the six men and women on the opposite side staring at his head with a surprised gaze similar to that of a small novice, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his crisp and neat short hair, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhao Yue, a native of Cangzhou, and I am not an officer or soldier." Tell me, who are you? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the six people on the other side all sigh on the ground, and the two women immediately performed the women's squatting of this era, and their husbands, the men who used such special weapons as king-size kitchen knives and boning knives, bowed their heads together. The young man and the middle-aged man who were the first to rush out on horseback to rob the hot-tempered man also immediately knelt on the ground, and the six people were uneven but said the same sentence: "See the second master." ”

This sudden change, not to mention Hua Rong was stunned. Even Zhao Yue also felt a little confused by the second monk.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Yue asked suspiciously: "You are not true evil, call me the second master, call yourself a Cangzhao person, you must have some relationship with my family, why is it very inconvenient to drag your family with you, and still choose to be a dangerous and turbulent robber, survive in this barren mountain and wilderness but do not go to my house to ask for help?" ”

This question made the eyes of the six people suddenly red. The faces of the two young couples were also red, and their eyes flashed as if they were ashamed.

Not to mention Zhao Yue, even Hua Rong became more and more curious.

After letting the six of them get up, they all found stones to sit casually, Zhao Yue handed his kettle to the woman who looked relatively older and wanted to speak, and smiled softly: "Come, drink saliva to moisten your throat and make things clear." Rest assured, with me, it's not a big problem. Whatever you have, just say it. ”

The woman gave another salute, took a few sips of the water, gave the jug to the other woman, and said to herself.

After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that the two women's surname was Qian, and they were sisters, from the countryside of the county under the Beijing Daimyo Mansion. Father Qian Shouyi and Zhao Yue's family, now Lao Qian, the big housekeeper of Zhao Zhuang, are cousins. Although the cousins of the Chinese are often three thousand miles a table, this Qian Shouyi is not so far from the relationship between the housekeeper Lao Qian, but it is not too close. It's just that it's really a relative who broke bones and tendons.

This Qian Shouyi is a chef, called a teacher rather than an ordinary cook, cooking skills are indeed not ordinary, like too many children of poor families in this era, Qian Shouyi has been a cheap guy in a large restaurant in Fucheng since he was a teenager to make money to support his family, followed by the kitchen stove, and when he grows up, he is already a well-known chef in the hotel industry in Fucheng, with culinary talent, so he can ponder this profession, at least with characteristics.

This person has the best face by nature, he can't be angry, he is unwilling to be wantonly scolded and enslaved by the leaders of the restaurant shopkeeper, and he is also young and vigorous, and he quit because of the matter, and he resigned and returned to his hometown with a good treatment, and wanted to open a hotel in the county and be his own boss, not seeking to make a lot of money, but first seeking to be comfortable and have face.

Things in the world are easy to think about, but difficult to do.

Qian Shou resigned impulsively and returned home, but after thinking about it, he found that he didn't have the capital to open a store.

At this time, he has married a wife and gave birth to two daughters, these are three mouths, as an only son, there are elderly village parents to support, the two sisters who married have a difficult life, usually have to help, and the neighbors have to help when they are in difficulty. Because when his family was in difficulty, he also relied on the help of his neighbors to have an opportunity to go to Fucheng to make a living.

In the period of backward technology and difficult life, rural people help each other to survive various thresholds in life together. It's the same both at home and abroad. It's just that China pays special attention to human feelings, and it is a typical human society, and its performance in this regard is particularly prominent.

At that time, you are a big official, you still have to honestly respect the villagers and elders when you go home, and you still have to bow your head in front of your relatives and elders in the family. If you dare to be ungrateful, you will have no one in your eyes, you will be scolded to death, and your career will inevitably be implicated. In the same way, you have to reciprocate. This relative has a crush on a certain public office, and you have to help him. That kind folk has his eyes on a certain opportunity to make a fortune, and you have to help. The nature used is power, and the damage to nature is the legitimate interests of the state or others. If you don't help, you're still scolded to death and notorious.

In a humane society, it is really difficult to be a good official who is honest and honest.

Many times, even if you don't want to be extravagant, the most direct pressure comes from your closest family and relatives. They force you to play with power for personal gain. Your parents, wife, and children may be able to think about you, and they will not force you to make mistakes or even crimes. But relatives and friends are usually not reasonable, they just want the money of that position, and think that you only need to be flexible and use your power to help them achieve it easily. If you don't help, you're not close to people, and you're an inhumane animal. They don't understand or don't care if you're going to sin or not.

Qian Shouyi's salary is not low, and his income is not small, but he has been a chef for a short time when he is young, and he spends a lot of favors, so he can't save much money. If you want to open a store, none of your relatives and friends have any money, they are all bitter, and they are really sorry to do their best and pay for it.

At this time, Qian Shouyi's father remembered a relative-Cangzhao housekeeper Lao Qian. Then he ran to the old money.

At that time, Zhao Yue was not yet born. Cangzhao Mingmian is not a small landlord, in fact, life is like that. Although Lao Qian is one of the housekeepers, he is Cangzhao's henchman, in charge, and his power is not small, but the main family is not rich, and he can have a few dollars. But Qian Shouyi didn't know this, and only felt that the backbone housekeeper of the big landlord's family was designated as rich.

Lao Qian saw his cousin who had not been in touch for too long, and he was embarrassed by what he wanted, but he still worked hard and thoughtfully, took out almost all of his savings, and borrowed as much as possible from the owner of the village and some well-connected or active sect heads, and took a lot of debts himself, and handed them over to Qian Shouyi, and bluntly said that he was so capable. If you don't have enough money, a little more is a little, but I hope you don't have too little.

Qian Shou looked at the dozens of taels of silver, very dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly scolded the money steward for being too stingy and underestimating, but he still accepted it and left, not planning to pay back the money.

The money was not enough, so it was not possible to open a hotel in the county, so I was helped by relatives and friends to build a house and open a house on the main road in the countryside.

After that, business changed with social turmoil, and it was good and bad, and the whole was okay.

With the rise of Cangzhao, deeds spread all over the world. Only then did Qian Shouyi know that the big landlord Cangzhao was so poor, and Steward Qian really had no money at the beginning, and helping him was already the result of risking his face and carrying a debt. Qian Shouyi was ashamed and wanted to repay the money and thank him, but he felt that he was ambitious but mixed up......

Tut.

can't take a lot of money to pay back the money decently and thank him, Qian Shouyi feels shameless to go to Cangzhou. Besides, Cangzhao is no longer the Cangzhao of the past. Steward Qian is naturally not the shabby butler of Cangzhao who is both poor and has no serious status in society. What people are bad about now is not bad money, and they don't take silver seriously at all.

This is dragging on again.

The real development of Qianjia Hotel is also because Cangzhao business has shown more and more powerful influence, which has effectively stimulated the north-south flow of commodities and human resources in the Great Song Dynasty.

There are many old money hotels passed by people from the south to the north, and the passers-by are also angry with their money, and the superb cooking skills of old money finally have a place to use, and the business of the hotel is finally prosperous.

But Lao Qian loves face, and his heart is also heavy, so he always has to earn more money to repay the money housekeeper decently, and also prove that he is capable and capable, and is not weaker than others.

Too long of hard work and mental pressure made him finally unable to hold on to the day of his dream, and when he died, he confessed to his apprentice and son-in-law and daughter-in-law that he must realize his wish on his behalf, and go to Cangzhao to repay the money and kindness with dignity, and never let the people of Zhao Zhuang despise the money housekeeper for having a poor relative who has no ability to repay the debt for so many years.
