Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Covenant

[ps: The last name was written incorrectly, Tang Jing is not Qin Jing, he is getting older, and his memory is getting worse and worse......]

Miss Tang was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, and from the moment she was born, she was the richest woman in Lingzhou City...... Child, you can earn a hundred taels of silver by memorizing a poem casually, naturally I don't know what thrift is, Xiaoru and the third uncle have been living a hard life, and they will never be as wasteful as her.

When the shop first opened, the tofu brain could not be sold, and the third uncle ate it alone until he vomited, and he didn't waste a bowl.

Xiaoru's cloth village has been opened, saying that it is a cloth village, in fact, it is more of some jewelry, cloth art and the like, small and meticulous, very popular with women, and the daily business is very good.

Whether it is the third uncle's early shop or Xiaoru's cloth village, Tang Ning didn't think about making money, but there were some things to do, so they would be sure-footed.

When he was about to reach the shop, he saw the beggars squatting in the corner, each holding a few buns in their hands.

Judging from the size of the bun, it should have been given to them by the third uncle.

Tang Ning was a little puzzled, the third uncle has always recognized money and not people, except for the pair of beggar mother and daughter, but he has never seen him give alms to other beggars.

"Childe!" Several beggars saw him approaching and immediately stood up and greeted him.

Tang Ning noticed that they looked a little embarrassed, although they were all beggars and were already a little sloppy, but there was no reason why they all had blue noses and swollen faces.

"Just now, there was a group of beggars making trouble at the door of Xiaoru's shop, and the frightened guests didn't dare to go in." The third uncle looked at Tang Ning, pointed to the beggars, and said, "Thanks to their help." ”

"Troublemaker?" Tang Ning looked at the third uncle and asked, "Xiaoru is okay, why are they making trouble?" ”

"Xiaoru is in the shop, she's fine." The third uncle shook his head and said, "I don't know what crazy they are, so they sit at the door of the shop, and the scared guests don't dare to go in." ”

A beggar stood up, held a bun in his arms, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Childe, those guys are all from another street, they should have been instructed by others, collected money to do things, and deliberately came to make trouble......"

Tangning looked at him and asked, "The beggar on the other street?" ”

The beggar nodded and said, "This is not the first time they've done something like this. ”

The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and beggars must also have rules for beggars, the beggar gang is known as the world's first decent gang, the gang rules are strict, there are "eight wants" and "ten commandments", and they have always acted decently, how can they have such bad behavior?

Tang Ning looked at the beggar and asked, "If they do this, don't you beggars care?" ”

"Beggar gang?" The beggar looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What beggar gang?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and wondered, "Haven't you heard of the beggar gang?" ”

The beggar shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it." ”

"Really?"

"Nope."

"Third uncle, come two bowls of tofu brain." Tang Ning thought for a while, greeted the third uncle, looked at the beggar again, pointed to a stool, and said, "Sit, let's talk." ”

"No, no, no, Childe, the villain is dirty, and the stool will be dirty when you sit down, just stand and listen to you." The beggar waved his hand again and again, and stood beside Tang Ning in some panic.

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "If you want to sit, you will sit, I will raise my head to talk to you when you stand, tired." ”

When the beggar heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the opposite of Tang Ning and sat down, but he only dared to put half of his ass next to the stool.

Tang Ning thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Your name is Liu Laoer?" ”

When he chatted with these beggars before, he asked his name, among the beggars on this street, Liu Lao Er is still somewhat famous, and several beggars in this alley are headed by him.

The beggar hurriedly said: "The son has a good memory, and the villain is called Liu Laoer." ”

Tang Ning nodded and continued to ask, "What happened to the beggar on the other street you just said?" ”

Liu Lao Er explained: "Hui Gongzi, those guys in Jin Mazi on the next street are simply a group of scum, abducted, deceived and stolen, and do everything, that girl's shop is opened here, it should be someone who is in the way, so that Jin Mazi and them will come forward to make trouble." ”

The so-called peers are enemies, the opening of the small Ruxin store and the booming business will naturally attract a lot of people's eyes, Tang Ning is not surprised by this, so he asked Liu Lao Er and them to help keep an eye on it, but I didn't expect that it was only a few days, and some people couldn't help it.

These accounts were not in a hurry to be calculated, Tang Ning looked at Liu Lao Er again, and asked, "You beggars in Lingzhou, how do you calculate the power, tell me in detail." ”

When Downing first started looking for the little beggar, he learned about the general situation of the beggar here.

Scholars have circles of scholars, merchants have circles of merchants, officials have circles of officials, and beggars naturally have circles of beggars.

Each street in Lingzhou City, and even the first and second half of each street, belong to different spheres of influence.

Almost every beggar in the city has a fixed place to beg for food, which is like a territory, encroaching on someone else's territory, and the other party will be desperate.

So these days, beggars are not so easy to be.

It is human instinct to huddle together, beggars in an area will hug into small groups, like Liu Laoer, seven or eight people occupy an alley, half a street, and there are more Jin Mazi brothers on the next street, about a dozen people.

There are no beggar gangs, and naturally there are no beggar gangs in Lingzhou, and there are only small forces such as Liu Laoer.

A beggar who doesn't want to be a helper is not a good beggar, and he must be enterprising to be a beggar.

There are many beggars in Lingzhou City, and there are even more beggars in the world, although the number one beggar gang in the world is only made up in the novel, but if all the beggars in the world can be gathered, it is also a very powerful force.

Tang Ning looked at Liu Lao Er and asked, "Have you been looking at Jin Mazi for a long time?" ”

Liu Lao Er was stunned, then nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "The street next door, half of the street was originally ours, but it was robbed by Jin Mazi later, and many brothers suffered a lot under him. ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Do you want to take revenge for this arrow and snatch your territory back?" ”

Liu Lao Er hesitated for a moment, looked at him, and said embarrassedly: "There are many of them, we can't beat them." ”

Tang Ning pointed to Peng Chen, who was sitting on the side eating steamed buns, looked at Liu Lao Er and asked, "Do you know who he is?" ”

……

In Lingzhou City, on a street corner, more than a dozen beggars gathered here.

A beggar handed a whole chicken wrapped in lotus leaves to a beggar with a pockmarked face at the front, and flattered: "Big brother, the chicken you want." ”

Jin Mazi tore off the two chicken legs, handed the rest back, and said, "These brothers have divided it." ”

The beggars showed joy on their faces and hurriedly said, "Thank you, big brother!" ”

A beggar beside Jin Mazi gnawed on the chicken butt and muttered: "Big brother, it's all to blame for Liu Laoer's blindness, if they hadn't ruined our business, that person would have given more money!" ”

Another beggar interjected: "Liu Lao Er, they are nosy, and sooner or later they will have to clean them up!" ”

Jin Mazi took a big bite of the chicken leg, accidentally involved a bruise on his face, and his face twitched.

This bruise was left by a punch from Liu Lao Er today.

They and Liu Lao Er and his gang already have old grudges, and today's events can be said to be on top of the old hatred, and a new grudge has been added.

A beggar ran over from the street in a panic and said, "Big brother, Liu Lao Er asked someone to talk, this afternoon on Changping Street, he wants to make an appointment with us!" ”

The beggars in Lingzhou City often fight with each other in order to compete for territory. The loser will either give up the territory, get out of Lingzhou City, or submit to the winner's hands, Jin Mazi didn't expect that they haven't found trouble with Liu Laoer, but the other party has come to the door by himself!

Jin Mazi narrowed his eyes and said, "What hour?" ”

The beggar said, "It's time to go." ”

"Keep them waiting!" Jin Mazi stood up and said, "This time, let's settle the old accounts and the new accounts together!" ”
