Wuzhou Raiders Chapter 15 The merchant is too hurtful
In the third year of Yonghui (652 AD), August 16 was not timely, and it was cloudy. Wu Kang walked on Dongming Street, followed by a "little Zhengtai", dressed in white, about 1.53 meters tall, with a face like a silver basin and handsome facial features, it was Cui Jiuniang who dressed as a man. Yesterday, Zhang Dashuai's song "Daming Lake" successfully angered people, this is not... Come and ask the teacher for sin.
Today was a terrible day for Wu Kang. Originally, he asked for ten days off, but he was rejected by his top boss and judicial Zheng Senjun, and ordered him to return to the state government immediately, and led the bad guards to come out of the nest to protect Jinlong Xiangrui and leave Wuzhou City safely. Cui Tingshi also put down the cruel words, which department has a problem, and immediately take off the hat of the leader in charge.
Because of the sudden rainstorm in Muzhou a few days ago, the bad weather hindered the march of the army, and the hot-tempered Cheng Yanjin couldn't hold it back, so he personally led 50 cavalry and came to Wuzhou quickly.
Li Tao, Cui Yixuan, Cheng Yanjin, the three bigwigs discussed and decided, not to alarm the people, and to leave secretly before the hour. The officials, officials, and unscrupulous people all cooperated with the action, and even urgently recruited some government soldiers.
Wu Kang was pulled out of the bed like smoke, and Xu Sanjiao took Zheng to join the army's order, and also brought the high-ranking officials in the palace, saying that it was to read out the holy decree.
All of a sudden, the chickens and dogs in the house jumped, like blowing the horn of an emergency assembly. Wu Kang didn't understand the routine of the Tang Dynasty's proclamation, so he could only follow the routine in "Detective Di Renjie", knelt on the ground without saying a word, learned from the TV series, straightened his waist and clenched his fists with both hands, and shouted with full of anger: Wuzhou bad handsome Wu Kang, please St. An!
The propagandists were all confused, and when they encountered this routine for the first time, they didn't know how to deal with it for a while. A red-faced fat man at the front of the team looked him up and down, and after a while, he also clenched his hands into fists, raised his left shoulder diagonally, and said: "Holy bow."
Wu Kang continued to play cards according to the routine, pouting his ass and slamming on the ground, shouting: Long live my emperor, long live, long live!
At this time, the red-faced fat man Li Tao was also stunned, his face was even redder, and he was immediately labeled as a "servant". Such a perfect sycophant kung fu is unheard of and unseen.
The meaning of the decree is probably because he found and rescued the golden dragon, and rewarded him with ten thousand copper coins, that is, ten pieces of money, and a few fine silk horses. All of them add up, about twenty times, which is a huge amount of money.
After the announcement was completed, Li Tao left directly with everyone, and he didn't ask for a tip. Wu Kang and Xu Sanjiao hurried back to the state government, and on the way, from Xu Sanjiao's mouth, they learned that the Tang Dynasty received the holy decree routine. Except for the three types of holy decrees, such as edicts, edicts, and edicts, there is no need to kneel down for anything else, let alone shout long live.
Wu Kang's nose was crooked, and he scolded Xu Sanjiao with his head and face, scolding him for why he didn't say it earlier, and scolded him from the craftsman alley to the yamen. Xu Sanjiao almost cried, and there was no place to reason, the incident happened suddenly, how could he have time to popularize science?
Dozens of horsemen were majestic, escorting the iron cage away. Wu Kang also saw the golden python, this product has a much smaller belly, and his life is more moisturized, and he seems to have grown up. Once it returns to Chang'an, it will usher in the peak of snake life, and it will be offered as an ancestor, and Bai Suzhen will not live as chic as it!
After working for a long time, he was tired of becoming a dog, and finally gave the golden python gift out of Wuzhou. When he returned to the office of the guard, he took out the letter from the fat man with a red face, scraped off the ink on the envelope, and spread out the letter paper inside. looked at Juanxiu's flying white body, and then looked at the payment of "Zhaoyi", and then read through the content, I felt a lot for a while, I wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, and I wanted to cover my face and cry.
In Sister Wu's letter, there is gratitude between the lines, and she is grateful to him for offering the golden dragon auspicious. Wu Kang understood this, she had just been named "Zhaoyi" this year, and a golden dragon had descended, what did it mean, it could only be understood but not spoken.
After expressing his gratitude, he played another game of misidentifying relatives. The two martial artists couldn't fight each other, but she changed the family tree and forcibly made them into the same clan. The seniority given is not low, and it is her cousin. This made Wu Kang ecstatic, after all, in the next hundred years, all the Wu family members flew on the branches, pheasants turned into phoenixes, and one person got the Taoist chicken dog to ascend to heaven!
However, after Sister Wu was in power, she killed her two brothers, and it is estimated that she will also kill her cousin, not to mention that she is still a cheap cousin. Thinking of this, Wu Kang wanted to cry with his head in his arms, and he was entangled for a long time, so he could only take one step at a time. I can't help but think of the word "曌", history records that she has created more than 20 Chinese characters, which is the most created characters except for Mr. Cangjiecang...
The more I thought about it, the more funny I felt, and I was in the office, Jiang Daniu hurriedly ran in, saying that Cui Xiaoniang was outside the state office, and asked to see him by name. Wu Kang had a bitter face, and he couldn't admit it in front of his subordinates, so he went out hard.
Cui Jiuniang was dressed in a heroic Confucian robe, and when she met, she asked her head and face, what does Daming Lake mean?
Wu Kang was almost choked to death, and Zhiwu took half a day to tell the truth.
Cui Jiuniang covered her mouth and was happy when she heard it, the title of "toad" was her maid's own assertion. She just sent the white horse out, and didn't say the words "dirty, dirty", and she was also a servant who added fuel and vinegar.
Wu Kang was very inexplicable, racking his brains and couldn't figure out where he offended the little maid. However, the matter is not over, no matter how he explains, Cui Jiuniang forced him to recite poems as compensation for that Daming Lake.
In desperation, he made a cameo appearance as a literary porter again. Those who did not dare to move the poets of the Tang Dynasty did not know that they were not alive, and directly moved the Song Dynasty. Plagiarism is also a skill, and the physical education teacher poked the big basket again, with a song "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight", the little lady was directly shy, and naturally turned on the dating mode.
Dongming Avenue is the main street of Wuzhou City, the prosperity is not as good as the small county town in later generations, and the autumn harvest is approaching, and the pedestrians on the street are sparse. The shop doors on both sides are crowded, and the shopkeepers are listless, and some sleep directly on the counter.
The two walked side by side, the male height is 1.83 meters, the female height is 1.53 meters, and the most cute height difference in the legend. Wu Kang also knows more or less about Jiu Niang's thoughts, and he is not opposed to being a family.
In this year, marrying a girl with five surnames is similar to marrying a little brother and a daughter in later generations, which is the dream of many heroes and heroes. Li Er, the late second president of Datang, wanted to let the five surnamed women enter the palace at the beginning, but people didn't like him at all, and they disliked the impure blood of the Li family.
Between you and me, there were cries and shouts ahead, and there were vague quarrels. In a shop on the east side of the road a few feet away, a young couple was groveling, and the man begged a big man: "Liulang raised his noble hand, this month's tea money was just handed over yesterday and handed over to Hachiro, why did you come to collect it today?" ”
The woman shed tears and helped: "Liulang spare us, we run a small business, and we can't get fifty wen at all... Now they are busy harvesting autumn, and there are no customers to buy cloth, so it hasn't opened today. Leave us alone, there's really no money..."
"Less nonsense", the big man raised his nose and eyes, more horizontal than a bald-tailed dog, rolled his arms and sleeves and shouted: "Who doesn't know that you Qiu Ji Silk Village, one of the best in Wuzhou City, cry poor in front of me." If you don't give it to the sixth child, you look down on me, right? Hurry up and get the money, or you will smash your shop! ”
The shopkeeper was crying, pleading with a handful of snot and tears. Seeing this, Wu Kang knew that it was a ruffian blackmailing businessman again. Merchants have a low social status, as long as they can be bullied, as far as they know, they have three mountains on their heads.
The first is the bad guy, who extorts traders under the name of being clever, which is like a common thing; The second is a city official, who joined the army and lived by sucking the blood of merchants. The warehouse is in charge of the market and the warehouse, the city clerk is in charge of the market, and the treasury officer is in charge of the warehouse.
The third one is these ruffians! Bad people and city officials still have to point their faces, and each family collects them once a month, and the ruffians are faceless and insatiable. Every gang comes, and a single gang with different people will come many times.
Three mountains are on the top, and Wuzhou's business wants to develop, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. A few days ago, Wu Kang wrote a letter asking for the approval of Zheng Zheng's army to carry out a city-wide anti-gang and anti-evil operation. Seven days have passed now, and the post has been lost. The old boy is the top boss of the bad guard, and if he doesn't approve it, no one can do anything.
Suddenly felt that his wrist was pinched, and he looked down to see Jiu Niang who was huffing, his long nails were pinched fiercely, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain. It is said that the five surnamed women are knowledgeable and reasonable, all of them are gentle and lovely, is this Xibei in front of you?
Cui Jiuniang let go of her nails, pointed at the ruffian and said, "These bastards bully goodness, why don't you care?" It's a bad guard! ”
Wu Kang shook his head slightly, lowered his voice and explained: "This is really not in our hands, it is in the hands of the city officials who joined the army. Jiuniang, you have to understand that if you are not in her position, you will not seek politics, and it has always been the first taboo in officialdom to cross the line. ”
"You follow me to find Sun Senjun and let him send someone to deal with it", Cui Jiuniang was still an impatient, pulled his sleeve and left.
Wu Kang's head was big for a while, and he hurriedly lowered his voice and persuaded: "Jiu Niang, don't make trouble first, our name is not right, and no one can command Sun to join the army." The one who can command him, except for the record and joining the army, is your family Master Cui Gong. Don't tell me to find Cui Gong, even if he spoils you again, he won't allow you to interfere in politics, and maybe he will scold you..."
The dispute in the shop escalated, and the ruffian was a little impatient, so he left with a good silk cloth. The couple hurriedly stopped and kept begging grandpa to tell grandma.
The ruffian became even more angry, and kicked the woman to the ground, and the woman covered her belly and groaned. scolded and slapped the shopkeeper on the head again.
The shopkeeper didn't care about the pain, and knelt on the ground, hugging the ruffian's thighs with tears. This should be a ruthless character, and the people who eat melons dare not step forward, watching the excitement from afar.
Wu Kang felt pain in his big toe again, looked down, and the heel of an embroidered shoe was grinding his left foot. I wanted to hug my head and cry for a while, this girl was too violent, and Cui Gong and Cui Wu were used to it.
The girl gave him a fierce look and stepped to the scene of the incident. Wu Kang hurriedly grabbed her wrist and persuaded her bitterly: "My little aunt, let's not make trouble, okay?" What do you want to do, go over and shout, my family is Cui Tingshi, you give him the cloth and get out of here, otherwise... You really think so! ”
Wu Kang couldn't cry or laugh, and continued to tell the truth: "You move Cui Gong out, not to mention the negative impact it will bring, even if it is perfectly solved, what if it is solved?" Can you keep Buzhuang once, can you keep it for a lifetime? Cannot solve the problem at the root. ”
Cui Jiuniang obviously listened, turned her deer eyes, and said after a while: "Don't take the Yeye Fox fake tiger power, I will let the shopkeeper of Buzhuang go to sue." Didn't you say that Ye Ye is Wuzhou Qingtian, he will definitely deal with it impartially and teach the ruffians a hard lesson. ”
Wu Kang couldn't help but be happy, shook his head and explained: "I'm afraid the shopkeeper won't listen to you, the merchant has a low social status, and he would rather break the bank than deal with the government." Taking a step back, Cui Gong's perfect judgment of the case is also a symptom rather than a cure. The ruffians formed a gang, this one went to prison, and the other jumped out again. For example, they block the outside of the store and prevent customers from entering. If you don't violate Tang Law, you can close the whole cloth village! ”
Cui Jiuniang was speechless, and her willow eyebrows were wrung out of pimples. At this time, there was a new development in the conflict, and the shopkeeper finally admitted and asked his daughter-in-law to come up with fifty yuan. The ruffian dropped the cloth, took the money satisfied, and still weighed a few in his hand, turned around and shouted at the onlookers: "Look at what to see, what is there to see, look at the trick for you to dig again!" ”
The people who eat melons turned around one after another, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Seeing the ruffian walking away, Jiu Niang stomped her feet angrily, and played the princess's temper at Wukang: "I don't care, you have to solve it, otherwise... Otherwise, I'll tell Ye Ye and the fifth brother, saying that you are bullying me! ”
Oh my mother, what kind of sin has this been created, Wu Kang has one head and two big, and his heart says that you are a girl in the Tang Dynasty, have you left your reserve at home?
With a helpless sigh, he took out an object from his waist, a ten-centimeter-long green cannon, looked at her and said, "I just set the rules, bad people handle the case, at least two people are present at the same time." Wait a moment, and I'll signal to my men. ”
Speaking of this, he straightened his waist, held high the green cannon, and shouted: "A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops will meet each other!" ”
After that, the bamboo knot plucked in his mouth and blew a piercing whistle. The voice was too loud to catch everyone's attention, including the ruffian.
Wu Kang stretched out his finger and scolded him in a loud voice: "Bah! You... It's you, don't look around! If you don't want to go to the bad guard to drink tea, just obediently listen to the command of the commander. Stand still and raise your hands slowly! ”
The ruffian was frightened, and without saying a word, he hurriedly did it. They are all petty fights, and the only ones who really walk sideways in Wuzhou are the bad people in the bad guards. The wicked still need the wicked to grind, and what they are most afraid of is also the bad guys, if they really want to enter the bad guard, they have to shed their skin if they don't die!
Wu Kang took Jiu Niang over, stopped a foot away from the ruffian, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, showed the dog tag and shouted: "I am Wuzhou bad handsome Wu Kang, continue to listen to my command." Keep your hands high and slowly squat down... Good job, don't make any movement with your left hand, slowly lower your right hand... Put the coin at your feet and put your head in your hands..."
Seeing the new excitement, the people who eat melons gathered their eyes again, but they were farther away than just now. Wu Kang was thinking about going over, and from the alley next to him, two panting bad people ran out, Jiang Erniu and Zhou Hao.
Seeing this situation, the two immediately understood, and without waiting for Wu Kang's orders, the horizontal knife on their waists was unsheathed at the same time. Strode to the ruffian, perfunctory showed off the waist card, Zhou Hao scolded sharply: "A certain is a bad person in Wuzhou, now listen to my command." Slowly lower your hands... Lying on the ground... I said lying on the ground, can't I understand human speech, stuffing donkey hair in my ears? ”
The ruffian was almost scared to pee, and he trembled and lay on the ground. Jiang Erniu took two steps across, the horizontal knife was slowly pressed down, the blade was almost attached to his neck, and he gave an ultimatum: "Don't make any moves, don't think about resisting, if I feel the slightest threat, immediately raise the knife and fall!" ”
Zhou Hao put the knife back into the sheath, took out the hemp rope behind his back, twisted the ruffian's hands behind his back, and tied it into a dead knot. Jiang Erniu also put away the knife, got him up with Zhou Hao, and then kicked his leg sharply. The ruffian fell to his knees, Er Niu put the knife on his neck again, Zhou Hao pulled his hair back, and forced the ruffian to raise his face.
Wu Kang came to the front slowly, staring at the pale face condescendingly, and sneered twice.
The ruffian fought with his upper and lower teeth, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and stammered and squeezed out words: "Big... Marshal, the slave didn't offend you, what did the slave do, you have to give a reason! ”
Wu Kang slowly bent down, almost touching his face, and said in a low voice, "Want a reason? Ben Shuai will find you one, um... Ben Shuai sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, and wants to find you unlucky! Is this reason enough? ”
The ruffian's face was as white as paper, his head shook subconsciously, his hair was dragged violently, his teeth were grinning in pain, and tears were coming down.
Wu Kang sneered, picked up the copper coins on the ground, stretched out and exaggerated his left palm, one by one, yards of copper coins, stacked into three pillars, no more, no less than fifty big coins. Moved the money to the ruffian's eyes, and said in a questioning tone, "This money..."
"Yours, it's the handsome you who fell!"
Wu Kang was happy again, slowly moved his left hand, moved to his side and stopped moving. The copper coin was taken away by the soft little hand, and the little lady Cui smiled, ran to the cloth village with the money, and stuffed it into the woman's hand. The woman burst into tears and thanked her continuously.
What Wu Kang did was essentially a show, sending a signal to the merchants, I, Wu Kang, can protect you, and quickly attach it to my name.
The so-called "affiliation" was very popular in ancient times. If businessmen want to make a stable livelihood and not be blackmailed by ruffians or other forces, they will find local officials as backers, and generally choose the second generation of officials. Honoring them every year is a copper coin, to put it bluntly, it is a protection fee.
The second generation of Wuzhou is very poor and dark, the businessman has worked hard for a year, and most of the profits have to be handed over, and gradually few people are attached to it, and they would rather be blackmailed by the ruffians. Wu Kang thought about it, and if he had time to get together with the second generation, he would give up one or two percent of the ice-making benefits in exchange for the affiliation of Wuzhou merchants.
When Cui Jiuniang came back, she was about to order her subordinates to release people, but an idea flashed in her mind. The public toilet and garbage bin project is already underway, and it will be completed in about 20 days, and environmental coordinators will be needed to deal with littering and open defecation.
Because of the copper penalty involved, these ruffians who are the best coordinators of the harmful party are simply incorporated into them. Thinking of this, he smiled even more happily, and said lightly: "Take Ben Shuai to see your leader, and there is a deal to take care of him!" ”
