Chapter 193: Soft Knife

From time to time, Zhou Zongjia has been patrolling the Great Golden Gate with the fire armor.

The bustard mothers in the green building are very happy this time.

In the past, Wen Fengyu of Dongping Wangfu rode horses here, which frightened many guests.

After the people of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division punished him, no one dared to ride a horse here.

Even some scoundrels who often come here do not dare to show their faces and hide far away.

For a time, there was a quiet situation in the Greater Kinmen area that had not been seen for many years.

In the blink of an eye, the firearmies were still patrolling.

This time, the bustards were a little anxious.

In the usual times, this time is the peak of passenger flow, and the benefactors are arriving one after another at this time.

But today there are a lot fewer customers.

After sending out the miscellaneous servants to watch the movements, they found that many customers were coming, and when they saw the fire armor of the Terracotta Division patrolling here, they turned around and left.

In particular, many of them were officials, and none of them came.

These two groups of people are usually the main customers. If they don't come, there will be a noticeable reduction in business.

There are regulations in the imperial court that officials and prisoners are not allowed to play in the Qinglou.

Although there are regulations, no one has taken them seriously before, and no yamen has seriously implemented them.

People should come as they should, and play as they should. They all know each other.

But the people of the Terracotta Division patrol here vigorously, but it's different.

If there were no anomalies, how could they always patrol here?

Dongcheng Terracotta Division has done a few big things recently, and almost the entire Shenjing City is rumoring about them.

In case someone called the Dongcheng Terracotta Division stops him, even if he writes down his name, it is really hard to say what trouble will arise in the future.

Their traffic was rectified, but many people were invited to the yamen to recite the traffic rules. There are also some blacklists, notifying the yamen and schools and other tricks.

At this time, it is better to stay away from them.

I can't afford to provoke, I can afford to hide. Anyway, there are green buildings in other places, so why bother to find yourself uncomfortable here?

Mr. Zhou has been patrolling the streets unhurriedly with people, and the bustard mothers in the Qinglou are in a hurry.

When he arrived, Cheng Erniang, the bustard mother of Yuhualou, finally couldn't hold her breath and came out to find Zhou Zongjia.

"Mr. Zhou, you are always patrolling here, but what is the important thing?"

Zhou Zongjia is also an old man on the street, and Cheng Erniang also knows him.

"Oh, Cheng Erniang, naturally there are important things. A few days ago, Wen Fengyu always came here to ride horses, didn't we punish him? By the way, he didn't come in the past two days, right? ”

"No, no, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's our duty to protect the territory and the people, and to ensure the safety of one party. By the way, in the past two days, a few thieves from other places have wandered to the capital. ”

"Most of your customers here are rich people, so be careful to remind customers to beware of thieves."

"We will also strengthen our vigilance in the next few days, patrolling you every day to protect you."

What the? It's going to be a few days, it's going to be a few more days.

You're patrolling here every day, and my customers are scared away by you.

It wasn't until Zi Shizheng that all the green buildings turned off the lights and pulled out the wax, and Zhou Zongjia's team withdrew to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses.

Seeing that the lights were still on in Jia Rui's room, Zhou Zongjia went in.

"How did they react?"

Jarry asked.

There was no reaction, only Cheng Erniang from Yuhua Building came out and asked. I left without saying anything, will I go tomorrow? ”

"Go until they sponsor it."

"If you don't beat or scold, and you don't go in to check people, will they give money? Everyone is afraid of working in vain. ”

Mr. Zhou was a little deflated.

According to what he meant, it was better to simply go in and inspect the firewood stacks and pots in each green building, saying that it was easy to cause a fire, and take the opportunity to fine them some money.

"It takes a bit of patience. You tell everyone that it will be up to you to see if you can eat supper, wear good clothes, or get some subsidies in the future. ”

"You all work hard, you leave your family and business, and you always work in vain, don't you want to make some money? Isn't it the right way to earn money to support your family while working on errands? ”

"Commander, if there is money in the yamen, will you really send us money?"

"Mr. Zhou, will I still lie to you?"

"Is the Jinyi Army's supper free for you? Paper, pen, lamp, candle money, is it free for you? He San, Song Si, and Wen Fengyu, were they punished? ”

"And the traffic in Dong'anmen, isn't it good?"

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he was in good spirits.

Yes, since Commander Jia came, the life of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division has been getting better and better.

Not only do you not have to be angry, but now when you walk on the street, people are respectful when they see it.

If you can make money in the future, wouldn't it be even more beautiful?

Patrolling the streets is nothing compared to that, it's just a few extra steps.

"Commander, rest assured, tomorrow morning, we will go on patrol."

"You don't have to go so early, there is no one in the morning, just go on patrol from time to time."

"Understood, I will patrol until they get the money."

"They are all rich lords, so I don't need to teach you this."

"No, I'm good at bargaining."

Just after noon the next day, Zhou Zongjia led people to patrol, and did not retreat until Zi Shizheng.

The same is true on the third day.

On the fourth day, Cheng Erniang's side finally couldn't stand it.

As soon as Zhou Zongjia arrived with people, Cheng Erniang hurried out.

"Mr. Zhou, please come in and have a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Erniang, our commander has a precept and does not allow us to go to the Qinglou. Don't delay your business. ”

Zhou Laojiao, who killed a thousand knives, you delay my business here every day, and you still say light words.

"We don't mean anything else, it's just that there are some things we want to discuss with you."

"Your affairs, go to the Department of Teaching and Workshop to discuss, we only care about law and order, nothing else."

The Qinglou is under the management of the Department of Teaching, but the law and order is managed by the Department of Soldiers and Horses.

"It's not about the Workshop Division, it's about your patrols. You see, you patrol here every day, customers don't dare to come to the door, business has been very cold these days, and if it goes on like this, we will all have to close our doors. ”

"Erniang, it's not right for you to say that. It is our duty to come out on patrol. We only patrolled the streets, and not a single person went inside. ”

"When the customer came, we didn't stop it, and you can't blame us if they don't come. Is it that you are asking for too high a price, or that you are always cheating people? Ran away from the pit? ”

Nonsense, one day not to fool people? That benefactor hasn't been pitted, isn't there a lot of people? They are all willing to do it themselves, and the more they cheat, the more willing they are to come.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou said with a smile. For the sake of us knowing each other for so many years, let's go in and talk, and the people from all the Qinglou are there. ”

"Your Soldiers and Horses Division punished the horse-riding Master Wen last time, and those hooligans and scoundrels don't dare to come now, we are thinking about it, and we want to thank you Soldiers and Horses."

"No thanks, that's what we should do."

It's almost over, and if she invites me again, I'll go in.

"It's all acquaintances, it's not true to talk like this, go into the house and drink tea, and everyone is chatting together."

"Alas, Cheng Erniang, that is, you, I will give you a face. Okay, let's go in and talk. ”

Cheng Erniang, you are a snob, but you never looked at us people with a straight eye before.

It was still the commander who was clever and subdued them at once.

It's called a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
