Han Si's family has been poor since he was a child, and he went to the city with his uncle to beg for a living when he was very young, and he really grew up watching those scribes and servants of the county government, government office and provincial office, and he is very familiar with the neighbors, and he has not been away from home for a long time, as long as he mentions it, he knows everything. Unlike Duan Dazhang, who was born in a big family, he has nothing to do with the peddlers and pawns, and has been an official outside for more than ten or even decades, so he knows everything, but in fact, few people have seen it, let alone have any friendship.

Because of this, the news that Han Si was about to come back to hold a group practice spread quickly, and some local gentry led by Cui Huanzhang and Yang Yiqing added fuel to the fire, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, saying that they had noses and eyes, making the streets and alleys boiling, and everyone knew about it.

The more Duan Jiqing thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he simply closed the door in the name of mourning.

Others who come to visit or come to pay New Year's greetings will all eat closed-door soup without exception, but the Provincial Bureau's military room Jingcheng Zhouhuishan, the head of the government express squad Qin Dazhuang, Chongqing Town Zuoying Qianzong He Yong and others come to pay New Year's greetings, not only will not eat closed-door soup, but also have food and wine to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wang Zaishan, who had just resigned from the county government errand a few years ago, talked about the outside again.

Cui Huanzhang and Yang Yiqing seem to be determined to meddle in the Lijin Bureau, jumping up and down these days, they are very busy, even Master Gong seems to have been moved by them, and the day before yesterday they actually went with them to meet the prince of Futai and the county, and discussed with the prince of Futai and the county how to welcome Zhixing. said that Zi Zhixing didn't go back to his hometown alone, and he also brought ten civil and military officials. Where will the accompanying civil and military officials stay at that time, these things cannot be left unprepared. ”

"What else did they do?" Duan Jiqing asked subconsciously.

"You can't believe it, they also summoned those talents and prisoners in the county to Wangjiang Tower, and discussed how to help Zhixing run a group practice while eating and drinking!"

"Help Zhixing run a group practice?" Zhou Huishan snorted coldly, put down the wine glass and said: "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, what they want to do, what kind of wishful thinking they are playing, I really think that the county master, Futai and Daotai don't know!" ”

"Duan Jingcheng, not to mention their scholars who look at the Lijin Bureau and the Baojia Bureau, even those porters of the Sichuan Gang are becoming more and more restless." Guan Bantou couldn't help but burst out.

Duan Jiqing asked with a smile: "What are those porters doing with it?" ”

Guan Bantou said helplessly: "The Baojia Bureau recruited either the porters of the Tea Gang, or the brave and ruthless people from the Tea Tomb, otherwise they would not be called Tea Yong." The reason why Jiang ran away six years ago was not only because he was worried that the Wu family brothers would come back to retaliate as Shangguan, but also because he was worried about those tea warriors. After Jiang Liu ran away, the Sichuan Gang has been bullied by the Tea Gang, and those porters of the Sichuan Gang heard that the four babies were coming back, and the big head might also come back, thinking that the four babies and the big head would definitely support them, and they were bold, and they had four fights with the Tea Gang from the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month to now! ”

"Did you kill anyone?"

"Although there were no fatalities, there were a lot of injuries."

"Which side hurts the most?"

"Most of the porters of the tea gang have returned to their hometowns for the New Year, and there are more people in the Sichuan Gang than in the Tea Gang now, so these Sichuan Gangs have won, and the day before yesterday even chased dozens of porters of the Tea Gang to the door of the Baojia Bureau, and smashed the plaques of the Baojia Bureau."

Duan Jiqing didn't expect those porters of the Sichuan Gang to be so lawless, and stared at the head of the Guan team and asked, "Did you alarm the county master?" ”

"Hundreds of people fought in the streets, and dozens of people were injured, can the county magistrate not know about such a big event? Fortunately, the guest chief of Huguang suppressed the matter in time, and none of the porters who were beaten went to the yamen to report to the official. However, they also released cruel words, if the Sichuan Gang dares to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, the Baojia Bureau will not be polite to them. ”

"I said why Wang Zonghai always came to me in the past two days, and invited me to the hall to eat and drink, it turned out that this was because of this!"

"Duan Jingcheng, who is Wang Zonghai?" He Jiangong's uncle, He Yong, the general manager of Zuoying Qianqian in Chongqing Town, asked curiously.

"The new guest director of the Huguang Guild Hall, he is different from other guest directors, he has been a friend of Lord Duan for five years, and he returned to Ba County with Lord Duan. Those Huguang businessmen saw that he had been a friend of Lord Duan, and they could talk to Lord Cao, so they recommended him to be the new guest chief. ”

"He's also from Hubei?"

"Of course I'm from Hubei, if it's not from Hubei, how can I be the guest head of the Huguang Hall."

He Yong couldn't help but ask: "So he is not an outsider, Duan Jingcheng, the Sichuan Gang is like this, what do you say this matter should be done?" ”

Duan Jiqing pondered for a moment and sneered: "I, Duan Jiqing, am not the head of the Sichuan Gang, what does this matter to me Duan Jiqing?" I dare to conclude that someone must be secretly fueling the troubles of the Sichuan Gang, and we can't be fooled by this! ”

"It must be those who read the books who are fanning the flames."

"Leave them alone, let them go." Duan Jiqing thought for a moment and asked again, "What else is there from outside?" ”

"If you want to talk about the news, that's too much."

Wang Zaishan took over the conversation and looked at everyone with a smile: "Didn't the earliest inspection of Zhixing donate money, plus the third child of my family and Changchun, they not only donated their backgrounds but also made up for the shortcomings, as long as they have a few spare money in their hands, they all look red, and they all want to donate to the prison and donate to the official."

There are more people who want to be ambitious, and when Yang Lame of the Eighteenth Ladder saw people, he said that when Zhixing was a child, not only did he have no food to eat nor clothes to wear, but he was rescued by freezing at the door of his house one winter; Li Mazi of Tongjie said that Zhixing was a righteous brother with him, and even a bitch named Peach Red in Cuixianglou swore that Zhixing was her old friend, and Zhixing went to Beijing to confess when she was still entangled with her. ”

"It's shameless, I know best what kind of person Zhixing is, how can it have anything to do with her!" Zhou Songshan couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

"As far as I know, that little bitch named Peach was sold into Cuixiang Building the year before last, how could she recognize Zhixing, she just wanted to be grandstanding. Don't be angry, although she is talking nonsense, there are really a lot of people who believe it, and I heard that her business is very good these days. ”

He Yong just received a letter from his nephew He Jiangong last month, knowing that Han Xiufeng helped him introduce his nephew to Lord Yan, the deputy envoy of the General Administration Department, and Lord Yan helped Bao He Jiangong to become the general manager of the camp in Xuanhua Town. Duan Jingcheng, leave this matter to me, and when I go back, I will call a few brothers to smash Cuixiang Building! ”

"Forget it, for the New Year, what are you angry with a bitch who sells meat." Duan Jiqing beckoned him to sit down, and said with a smile: "This makes people afraid of being famous, pigs and being strong, those people outside want to make trouble, let them make trouble, we will respond to all changes with the same, and everything will be said when Zhixing returns." ”
