At the time of the New Year, the land of Qilu was full of silver fruits. The road is sparsely populated and deserted. However, on the way to Jingjiazhuang, there have always been people in twos and threes, who are either in groups or alone.

A few splashes who were swaying when they walked were talking: "Brother Wang, is that Bai Er really so righteous?" ”

"Of course, I heard that a few years ago, they won 500 yuan for each family and sent half a car of New Year's goods?"

"Half a car?"

"Don't believe it, I also heard my cousin say that his sister-in-law's neighbor is brave. Not to mention anything else, there is half a piece of sheep and more than a dozen catties of pork in the New Year's goods. There are also salt goods, flower cloth, pastries, firecrackers, etc., which can spoil the people around them. My cousin's family and his sister-in-law's family have made an appointment, and the family will go together. ”

"Together? Will Bai Er accept it? ”

"Cut, open the mountain gate wide, don't ask the origin, then you must accept it? Let me tell you, they are all the youngest in the family, and they are not even sixteen. It's just a good time to save a big-bellied man at home. ”

"Hehe, what's the use of those people? Just feed for nothing? Could it be that Bai Er would be willing? ”

"It's useless and you can only keep it, that's the rule. If you can't do big things, you always need people to run errands, right? But those who can come out in the future will definitely be those of us. Eh, brothers, since we are destined, why don't we bow down? Can you take care of yourself after entering the brave victory? Will we share blessings and hardships in the future? ”

"That's good, that's good!"

"I agreed."

“……”

And behind those splashes, there were three Jianghu guests wearing hats and covering their faces side by side. And they were also whispering: "Let's really go to Bai Er?" Will he be able to cover our case? ”

"Go check it out! Even if you can't, you've been on the run for so long, you should find a place to rest. ”

"But I inquired just now, that Bai Er is quite powerful. can support under the hands of a few masters in Jingjiazhuang, and also slaughter the village, and kill at the foot of the city in Pingdu. I heard that before the Chinese New Year, hundreds of people were repelled from the ringing horses that came from nowhere. ”

"Is there such a thing? You can't blow it, right? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"That's true. It's crazy here. ”

"Alright, third. Regardless of whether Bai Er did those things or not, what we want is stability. ”

"Big brother! I also heard that the two brothers are very righteous and have a good reputation. ”

"Oh? How to talk about righteousness? Tell me about it. ”

“……”

In the distance, a young man with an ordinary appearance walked briskly. When he passed a beggar mother and daughter sitting on the side of the road, he stopped, took out a piece of dry cake from the package, and handed it to the mother and daughter.

"Thank you, sir!" The woman's eyes lit up. They have been hungry for two days, and they will not be able to eat at all in this place where there is no village or shop in the future, and it may not take a few days for them to become a pair of corpses on the side of the road.

The young man shook his head, straightened up, and prepared to leave. It's not that he's ruthless, but he can't save so many people at all. But suddenly remembered his mission, to win bravely, it is best to get the recipe for matches. So the young man thought for a while, then bent down again and smiled: "Sister, do you have any place to take refuge?" If you drop by, I can escort you for a ride. ”

"No, I don't. There was a disaster at home, and the head of the house was gone on the road. I don't know what this place is, and I don't know where to go when I want to go home. As she spoke, the woman burst into tears. And the girl also cried pitifully with her.

The young man smiled slightly, if there was a mother and daughter covering, it would be difficult for him to be suspected: "Eldest sister, do you know that Jingjiazhuang is opening the mountain gate?" ”

"Huh? What is the opening of the mountain gate? ”

"It's to recruit people to work and take care of the food. If you want to go, I'll take you with me? ”

"Master, didn't you lie to me? Is there really such a good place to go? ”

"There really is."

"Then I'll go! But ......" The woman looked at herself and the girl beside her, embarrassed.

"Don't worry, big sister. Open the mountain gate regardless of the origin. As long as it is a living person, it will be all collected. ”

"Oooh. Then I'll go. I'll go with you! ”

……

At this time, the entrance of the East Second Square was already crowded with people. Open the mountain gate, starting from the eighth day of the first month, for three consecutive days, as long as you come to the door, you will receive all the orders!

At this time, a few people came out and led the dozens of people in front of the queue into the workshop. Came to the courtyard where Qin Bai lived, commanded a few lines, and then asked them to kneel and kowtow in front of the courtyard. After kowtowing three times in succession, he quickly arranged for these people to register on the side.

There were no gang rules announced at all, and there were no grand ceremonies, and the whole process was simple and outrageous. But what impresses those who are getting started is this: After the registration is completed, it is immediately arranged to the side room, ten people at a table, each person in front of a bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, a basket of dough cakes, a jar of sauce, and a basket of green onions are placed in the center of the table, and they can be eaten openly!

However, it is such a simple process, and the people outside the door are still gathering more and more!

The courtyard was also full of guests who came to watch the ceremony, and they were chatting: "! There won't be less than a thousand today, right? Three days in a row? Isn't that two or three thousand? With so many mouths, does Bai Er have a place to raise? ”

"Didn't he join the Chamber of Commerce a few years ago and swore in public that he would never take the initiative to go to war?"

"! Now that the strength has risen sharply, there are so many people who need to be resettled, how can they feed if they don't go to war? It's better to fart than swear this year. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to worry. I saw it before I came in, and there wasn't a single one of the ten strong people in it, they were all here to eat and drink, and this Bai Er really came according to the rules? All are welcome? It's funny, the old, the young, the women and the children? Are they ready to open a church of goodness? ”

"Well, that's true. The last time a mountain gate was opened nearby was 10 years ago, right? ”

"Twelve years ago, the Qingzhou Lutheran Church."

"Yes, yes. It wasn't as loud as it is now. ”

"Hehe, what do you know? I said that Bai Er was too honest, and he honestly followed the old rules. The Lutheran Church had all been selected in advance, and if they were not qualified, they had already arranged for someone to stop them. Even if there is a door-to-door leakage, it will be accepted in public, and persuaded to leave with good words in a few days. Do you really think that the comer does not refuse? ”

"Eh, will Bai Er do the same?"

"I don't know if it's going to happen, but it's already a big fight, and it won't end well. Now there are a lot of people waiting to see the joke behind the scenes. Maybe just wait for Bai Er's reputation to be discredited, and they will do it. ”

"Huh? Is that really the case? ”

"Anyway, just wait and see! Do you remember the incident of the Yamen conscription years ago? ”

"Isn't it already settled? The government has changed two people? ”

"Huh, solved? I heard that it was Bao Ye in the yamen who named him at that time, but later Bao Ye didn't apologize at all, and I didn't know who instructed Bao Ye. Tell me yourself, will Bai Er put up with this breath? Let's take a step back, even if Bai Er swallows his anger, will Bao Ye and the people behind him give up? ”

"Mm-hmm, that's just as well!"
