Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Green Hand Shopkeeper
When a family of four said this, they basically said that this matter was almost there.
Wang Changmu made arrangements: "Second brother, then I will trouble you to arrange someone to collect all kinds of news from the shopkeeper of Qingshou." ”
Wang Yanren didn't expect his brother to hand over such an important matter to him, so he got up from the official hat chair and said with a solemn smile: "Brother, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter properly." ”
After Wang Yanren left the warehouse with green bricks and green tiles, he immediately arranged for someone to inquire about the news of the shopkeeper.
At this time, the green hand shopkeeper was drinking tea in a tea shed in the county, and took the green hands under his hands to do business.
His business is not a serious business, it is called hitting the six cities.
Hitting the six cities is to deceive and steal, specifically hitting the six cities on the street.
Sometimes, when they encounter people from the countryside who enter the city to buy and sell with their belongings, they will deceive them, and when they reach a remote place, they will half-deceive and half-rob.
On both sides of the dirt road near the city gate, there are many teahouses and wine shops, and the most common one is this one shed.
The tea shed sells tea leaves that can be drunk casually for a penny, and it is generally low-level people such as porters, coolies, and farmers who sit in the tea shed to rest and drink a bowl of tea leaves.
Old man Zhao's tea shed didn't know what luck had happened today, and a rich man in rich clothes came.
However, when Old Man Zhao saw the appearance of this rich man, not only did he not feel honored because the rich man came to his humble tea shed to drink tea, but he wished that the other party would leave here as soon as he saw the plague god.
The rich man is none other than the green hand shopkeeper.
The blue-handed shopkeeper was dressed in a large satin robe, his hands were tucked into the cuffs, and his face was kind, like a rich man.
But they are engaged in robbery and murder.
There were more than 20 idle green hands gathered around him, wearing short clothes and long skirts, and wearing high-pa net hats.
These green hands are also sitting in the tea shop, their eyes are lively, and they never leave a major dirt road in the county.
I searched everywhere for countrymen, especially those who brought a lot of things.
Since the tragic death of several people in Caokou of Sun Baohu, the shopkeeper of Qingshou has rarely gone out during this time, and generally lives in a house on a small wharf and does not come out.
Such a small business as hitting the six cities is generally done by the green hands under the hands.
The green hand shopkeeper came here today because he wanted to make a big fried salt bean business.
Qingshou will also steal things in the local area during the day, and once someone finds out, he will send Qingshou to the government.
The green hand took the opportunity to rescue and escape, but the twister was insulted by them, and even blackmailed by them.
This is the fried salt beans that the green hands like to make.
The salt beans to be fried have been chosen, and he is a wealthy family who owns a lot of land in the countryside.
The shopkeeper of the green hand came to sit in person this time, just to make a big profit.
The shopkeeper sat in the tea shed with a kind face and drank tea, and after drinking a few cups, he saw the rich man walking with a few ganghu to the prostitute alley not far away.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for the teaching workshops run by the government, anyone who opened a green building is against the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
On the surface, some bureaucrats and gentry colluded with the government to start prostitution in some hidden alleys.
The shopkeeper handed the green hand a look, signaling that he could go over and start frying salt beans.
A green hand immediately walked over with a few people, and instead of walking directly to the rich man, he walked to a countryman next to the rich man.
The green shopkeeper sat in the tea shed, watching this scene with a kind face, just when he was ready to appreciate it.
The second-in-command Iron Face hurriedly walked over, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, those border army veterans who have retired from Liaodong have agreed. ”
When the shopkeeper heard the news from the second-in-command Iron Face, he was in no mood to continue to sit and drink tea in the tea shed.
Anyway, he has already opened up a relationship with the head of the third class, and he is sitting here just because he hasn't seen this scene for a long time, and he looks at the green hands fried salt beans under his hands like watching a singing opera.
The second-in-command iron face brought more important news, and the blue-handed shopkeeper stood up with his cuffs in his hand: "Let's go, let's go back first." ”
The green-handed shopkeeper, who looked more kind, did not give a penny to a few nearby tea sheds from the time he sat down to the time he left.
The green hand shopkeeper returned to the small pier at the mouth of the glue with the iron face of the second-in-command, and it was already the second day.
There is a house with blue bricks and green tiles near this small glue pier, but the brick walls of this house have been thickened by him a lot, and at the same time, they have also increased a lot.
is worried that they will be like Sun Baohu and them, and they will be tragically looted by Fuyan Mountain Xiangma or Heidao Haikou.
The shopkeeper of the green hand hurried over this time, because one thing that had been painstakingly planned was finally done.
The blue-handed shopkeeper returned to the house, asked the porter to open the heavy side door, and walked towards the vicinity of the inverted room.
Twenty or so middle-aged men set up a table of eight immortals at the door of the inverted room, and noisily played dominoes there to gamble money.
These middle-aged men all had a knife pinned to their waists, but it was not a sharp knife often carried by green hands, but a mouthful of goose feather knives.
As soon as the shopkeeper of the green hand approached the vicinity of the inverted seat room, he felt an unusual aura.
This breath is not the breath of an ordinary lazy gambler, but an indescribable murderous aura.
The word murderous spirit is ethereal, and when the blue-handed shopkeeper approached the twenty or so middle-aged men, he felt a little furious for no reason.
When these twenty or so middle-aged men saw the shopkeeper coming over, they still ignored him and continued to gamble there.
If this had been replaced by an ordinary green hand shopkeeper, it would have been slapped a long time ago, and it would not end if the faces of these green hands were not swollen.
The blue-handed shopkeeper couldn't help but laugh in the face of the domineering behavior of more than twenty middle-aged men who didn't give him face at all.
These 20 or so middle-aged men are all border veterans he invited with a lot of money, in order to deal with Fuyan Mountain Xiangma and Heidao Haikou. With these twenty veterans who had seen blood at the border pass, not to mention the sound of Fuyan Mountain, even the Black Island Haikou did not dare to act rashly.
During this period of time, the green hand shopkeeper first kept raising and thickening the brick wall, and then expanded the green hand under his hand to about 200 people. After more than half a year, he finally expanded the number of border guards under his command to twenty.
The green hand shopkeeper can finally rest assured that the safety of the whole family is at ease.
Inexplicably, the blue-handed shopkeeper who felt a sense of peace of mind walked to the hall of the inner courtyard with the iron face of the second-in-command, and instructed: "I have to buy some wine and meat for these border guards every month." ”
Speaking of this, the green-handed shopkeeper put away the kindness on his face and replaced it with the fierceness of his youth: "If you dare to be greedy for these wine and meat, I will chop you up and throw you into the sea to feed the fish." ”
The second-in-command Iron Face smiled bitterly: "Shopkeeper, villains don't dare to be greedy for these evil things." ”
