Volume 3: The official career of Wupin Dazhi County begins Chapter 177: The beggar gang is about to rectify the gang discipline

Seeing this, Shi Yao shouted excitedly: Master, it's time to start fighting again.

At this time, an old man in his fifties with eight bags on his back walked out of the door, and when he saw the mess outside the door, he frowned and shouted: What are you doing, why are you so messy?

The flowers outside the door were busy saluting the old flowers, and one of them said: "The master of the helm, someone came to my beggar to help the helmsman make trouble, and beat our people."

Hearing this, Lao Huazi was furious and said: Who is so bold that he dares to run to the helm of our beggar gang to make trouble and beat people, and he doesn't want to live, right?

The flowers pointed at Li Yinglong and Shi Yao with their hands: It's them.

Lao Huazi walked over with an angry face, and when he saw that it was Li Yinglong, he was stunned and said: Yes------ it's you, God! Your Excellency can't get along with our beggars, and you even hit the door.

Hearing this, Shi Yao glared at Lao Huazi and said: Hey, Lao Huazi, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the situation, our county magistrates have official business to see your Huang gang leader, but these little Huazi of yours actually stopped us from seeing your Huang gang leader, and said that even if the emperor came today, he would not let him see him, and he wanted us to climb back. This is too much, our adults are the parents of Luoyang County, and it is our adults who have the final say in this place in Luoyang, even if your beggar gang is great, it is also on the territory of Luoyang, and you have to obey the jurisdiction of our lords, unless your beggar gang breaks away from the Great Song Dynasty and establishes itself as a king and is not under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Yao said that she added it herself.

Li Yinglong said coldly: Maybe you Huang Gang Leader thinks that being a gang leader is too condescending, and you may not be able to be the emperor if you want to.

Hearing this, Lao Huazi hurriedly waved his hand and said: Hey, two, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, our beggars have always been law-abiding, if my subordinates offend the adult, in the next generation they will accompany the adult, the adult, please go in and see the Huang gang leader.

Hearing this, the flowers outside the door shouted.

Hanako, who was beaten, said: The helmsman, that's not the case.

Another flower said: Divide the helm, don't listen to their nonsense.

Hanako, who was beaten, said: Helmsman, I didn't say let him climb back.

Lao Huazi shouted to all the flowers: Shut up!

After drinking, he swept the flowers with his eyes very sternly and said sharply: My beggar gang is known as a chivalrous gang in the Central Plains martial arts, and has never done anything to oppress the good and be domineering, Li Zhixian has already made it clear to you that he wants to see our Huang gang leader, but you insist on blocking people from letting people in, and you still speak ill of you.

If ordinary people want to enter the helm of our beggar gang, wouldn't it be more difficult than ascending to the sky, our beggar gang is just a gang in the martial arts, and the helm is just a home of our beggar gang, what can't you enter, but you are bullying others and insisting on blocking them. If this continues, what is the difference between the helmsman of our beggar gang and the yamen of those corrupt officials, do you also learn from the reporting fee that the gatekeepers of the yamen want to enter the door? Do you know that you have broken the gang rules, and I didn't want to punish you in front of the guests, but you didn't repent, and you still used strong words to justify and foolish. Even so, I will not be able to take care of our faces, and now I command you to go together to the torture chamber and receive thirty lashes for each of you, and double the number of escapees, and go.

Hearing this, all the flowers were frightened, and knelt down together and begged for mercy: "Helmsman, we know that we are wrong, spare us this time."

Li Yinglong couldn't bear it anymore, and helped to intercede: Divide the helm, read that they are the first offenders, forget it this time, not to mention that we are also at fault.

Hearing this, Lao Huazi waved his hand and said: The state has national laws, and the gang has gang rules, this is what they asked for, adults don't have to intercede for them, besides, how many times has this kind of thing happened, I have long had the intention to rectify it, but because there have been too many things recently, I put it aside, just now our Huang gang leader proposed to rectify the beggar gang, and a few of them just happened to hit the muzzle.

People want to rectify, and Li Yinglong can't say anything more.

Lao Huazi shouted to the flowers kneeling on the ground: Go to the torture room immediately to receive the punishment, and the late ones will be doubled.

Hearing this, the flowers hurriedly got up from the ground and ran away.

Lao Huazi took Li Yinglong and Shi Yao into the living room, and said to the two: The two of you will sit down for a while, and I will go and ask us to help the master come over.

With that, he turned around and hurried out.

After a while, he walked in with Huang Gongwang, and when he saw Li Yinglong, Huang Gongwang smiled and said: Lord Zhixian, the wine debts are all coming to the door, Lao Huazi will take you to drink to pay off the debts.

Shi Yao hurriedly said: Gang Leader Huang, my master is not here to drink, he has something to tell you.

Hearing this, Huang Gongwang looked at Shi Yaoxun and said: You little girl doesn't understand humor at all, of course I know that the county magistrate has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, didn't I say a few boring words to adjust the atmosphere, and let your ignorant little girl be ruined.

Hearing this, Shi Yao stuck out his tongue and said: I see, then you keep talking.

Huang Gongwang said seriously: What else to say, I can't say it.

After that, he said to Li Yinglong: Let's get down to business, Lord Magistrate, please tell me your intentions.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh again.

Li Yinglong said: There are two things in this county today, one is that when I investigated the case of the Shuangfu Gang occupying the egg market, I pulled out a person from your beggar gang, this person's name is Zhou Rong, and he is the fourth bag brother of the beggar gang, he received the benefit fee of the Shuangfu gang leader to support him and became his backer, so the Shuangfu Gang can run rampant in the egg market, oppress the good, and occupy the egg market.

Hearing this, Huang Gongwang was furious, turned his face to the old Huazi sitting on the side and ordered: "Lord Wang Branch, you immediately go and find out this four-bag disciple named Zhou Rong, and then tie him up and send him to the county government to hand over to the county magistrate for punishment.

Li Yinglong hurriedly waved his hand and said: Huang Gang Leader, it's not that serious, he didn't directly help the Shuangfu Gang to do evil, and it hasn't caused serious consequences, this county is not here today to investigate his guilt, but to make a suggestion to the Huang Gang Leader, and in the future, the gang will be more strictly controlled, so as not to cause more serious things to happen in the future.

After speaking, he paused, and then said with a smile: Since there are no consequences, it is not under the control of our government, and you beggars will help you deal with it.

Hearing this, Huang Gongwang said sincerely: The adults are right to criticize, and we are also preparing to rectify the discipline.

After that, he turned his head and instructed the helmsman of the king: "Lord of the helmsman, you go and pass on my order, remove the qualifications of Zhou Rong's four bags of disciples, and then hand it over to the chief helmsman to be dealt with by Elder Zhao.

The helmsman of the king hurriedly replied: Yes, helper.

In response, he turned around and hurried out.

After the helmsman left, Huang Gongwang said again: My lord, aren't there two things, please talk about the second thing.

Li Yinglong said: Gang Leader Huang, is anyone in your beggar gang missing?

Huang Gongwang was stunned for a moment and said: Yes, didn't I already say it last time when I was there with you, there are more than a dozen people missing, what's the matter, have you found anything?

Li Yinglong nodded and said: Yes, I found that the day before yesterday I went to Songzhuang outside the city to investigate the case, and found a corpse that had been dead for many days in a earthen cave in the west of Songzhuang.

Huang Gongwang hurriedly asked: Did you check how this person died?

Li Yinglong said: According to our Mr. Zhao, this person was killed by a martial arts master who broke his neck bone.

Huang Gongwang asked again: Are there any other discoveries?

Li Yinglong said: I also found a copper coin in that person's hand.

After that, he reached into his arms and took out a copper coin, handed it to Huang Gongwang and said: This is it.

Huang Gongwang took the money and looked at it carefully: This is a Song and Yuan Tongbao, the money of Emperor Taizu, it is very new, it seems to be newly minted.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong seemed to think of something and said: By the way, the clothes worn by this person have burned out a lot of holes, could it be that this person has minted money in his life?

Huang Gongwang hurriedly said: How is this possible, minting money is something that the court does, there is no such thing in the local area, and the local government is not allowed to mint money.

Shi Yao interjected: It is a crime to mint coins privately, and it is a major crime to exterminate the nine clans, besides, there is no workshop for court coinage in Luoyang.

Huang Gongwang nodded and said: Miss Shi is right, there should be no court coinage workshop in Luoyang, and Lao Huazi has never heard of a court coinage workshop in Luoyang for so many years.

Hearing this, he thought for a while and said in a speculative tone: There is only one possibility, that is, someone is privately minting coins.

Hearing this, Shi Yao was shocked: Ah, who is so bold and dares to mint coins privately, not afraid of being killed and exterminated?

Li Yinglong said: In order to make a fortune, there are many people who take risks.

After thinking for a while, Huang Gongwang asked, "My lord, is that corpse still there?"

Li Yinglong nodded and said: Yes, because his identity has not been found, it has not been dealt with, and I ordered the local bunker to send someone to guard it.

Huang Gongwang said: I will take someone to identify the body early tomorrow morning to see if it is from my beggar gang.

Li Yinglong said: Okay, give me a letter after I finish it.

Huang Gongwang nodded and said: No problem, if I have time, I will personally go to the county office, in addition to reporting the news, I will drag you out to drink.

Li Yinglong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
