Chapter Thirty-Seven: Thunder and Thunder

Don't give money to eat in Chaojia Restaurant, the guy didn't dare to go to ask for someone else, it was Lei Heng, the head of the county's infantry army, Lei Heng was born as a blacksmith, brute force, and practiced a good simple knife, and was later recommended by Song Jiang to Yuan County Ling as the head, today is just off work, with six brothers out to drink, which restaurant in Yuncheng County has not given money.

Li Kui came down from downstairs and shouted, "Stop, where did the birdman come from and don't give money to eat." ”

Lei Heng stopped when he heard it, and saw that this guy was a big black man that Chao Gai often carried, and recently Lei Heng was annoyed by Chao Gai, although the five thousand township soldiers who had been trained had not been trained in a serious way, but the spear was really issued, and there were weapons, and it was not so easy for Lei Heng and his dozens of subordinates to eat and take cards, so it was not pleasing to the eye how to look at this black man.

"Lao Tzu has never given money to eat restaurants, and where do the savages dare to take care of the idle affairs of the capital." Lei Heng said angrily.

Li Kui is not happy, your birdman is in charge of fifty people, and his brother is also a platoon commander and fifty people.

"It's a natural principle to give money for dinner, and if you don't give money, I'll beat you out what you eat." Li Kui said.

Lei Heng's six subordinates are also some lawless goods, and they actually have to pay for a drink, they looked at Lei Heng and said: "Brother, our brother taught him a lesson, so I don't know who I am." ”

The six people clenched their fists and slowly surrounded Li Kui in the middle.

When the hotel guys saw that they were going to fight themselves, the people in Zhuang came over to help them fight, and Li Kui said: "I don't need your help, I'll clean them up one by one." The store is cramped, and you dare not go to the street to fight. ”

The six people didn't know Li Kui's power and happily agreed, and when they came to the middle of the street, the six still put on a posture to surround Li Kui, it was the scene of lunch, there were many people on the street, and when they saw someone fighting, they immediately surrounded a crowd of people.

The two picked up big fists and smashed them at Li Kui, Li Kui grabbed the menacing fists one by one, pulled them down, and the two fell straight to the ground. The other four people rushed forward to besiege Li Kui, and Li Kui grinned, "Let me practice my hands." ”

An uppercut, bang, hit one of them in the jaw, and the man fell to the ground in a daze. Another person sneaked up from behind, Li Kui dodged over, and kicked over with a whip leg sideways, and the man fell to the ground in response. The other two didn't dare to step forward when they saw Li Kui, so they dodged.

Looking at the lively blind coaxing, "Okay, good skills." ”

Lei Heng tightened his belt and said, "Good boy, dare to beat my brother, I will arrest you and go to the cell." ”

"Straight lady thief, don't give money for meals, relying on the fact that there are many people who want to beat Lao Tzu, this will arrest me and go to the cell." Li Kui was furious, and rushed over to punch Lei Heng in the lower abdomen.

Lei Henglian was born in a family, and hurriedly blocked with both hands, and he felt that the arm was hot, and this black man actually had a lot of strength.

The two fought in one place, and the fists and legs were very fierce, much stronger than the fights of the performers on the street. As soon as the twenty rounds passed, Lei Heng felt that his physical strength was weak, mainly because Lei Hu had not exercised seriously since he became the head of the capital, plus he had just drunk high, and he was not Wu Song would be drunk with fists, where could he resist Li Kui's daily devil training, a person who accidentally let Li Kui punch his face, half of his face was swollen, and then Li Kui punched him twice in the stomach, and Lei Heng bent over and vomited.

A kind-hearted person said: "This black man, hurry up." You are fighting the head of this county, otherwise he will be in trouble when reinforcements come. ”

Li Kuihun didn't care, and said: "This guy doesn't give money for dinner, it's not a day or two, and I itch when I see his fist." ”

At this time, several officials came over protecting a person in an official robe, and everyone looked at it, isn't this the clothes of the county magistrate, it turned out to be the new county magistrate. Seeing the excitement, they didn't dare to make a mistake, and they got out of the way.

It was none other than Shi Wenbin, the new county magistrate.

Shi Wenbin looked at Lei Heng and the miserable appearance of the crowd and asked, "Isn't this the head of Lei Du, why are you fighting on the street?" ”

Lei Heng said: "This black guy is making trouble in the hotel, let's come and ask, and this person will do it." ”

"Nonsense, I'm eating upstairs, and I see you leave without paying for dinner, so I came down to ask you to pay, and then we fought." Li Kui said.

Li Kui can fight, but not fighting, he must not say that Lei Heng and others, at this time, the hotel shopkeeper Xu Hai came out, holding an account book in his hand, and said: "Please take a look, this is the account of Lei Du eating in my store in the first three years, and it is not much money, less than three hundred." ”

After reading the account book, Shi Wenbin asked the people next to him again, verified the situation of the fight just now, and snorted coldly: "Lei Heng, you are the head of the capital, in charge of public security, you should abide by the law, why are you rampant in the township, eat and take cards, and don't give money for meals." The county will remove you from your position as the head now, so go home and reflect on it. ”

After saying that, Wen Bin threw up his sleeves and left, and all the people applauded, and Lei Heng and the others fled in disgrace.

The next day, Wenbin made a decision, and Zhu Tong, the former head of the horse army, was promoted to county lieutenant and was still in charge of the original people. Liu Tang was newly appointed as the head of the Ma army, and Li Kui was appointed as the head of the infantry army.

Both of them arrived at the head of the post, and immediately began to carry out drastic reforms, and the group of people under Lei Heng's subordinates who were extremely angry with the people were all expelled and not used, all of them were strong men in the escort team, with new clothes, waist knives, and no longer equipped with long water and fire sticks, but with short sticks of two feet long, which were usually hung around their waists.

Liu Tang led 50 horsemen to patrol more than 100 villages outside the city, and at the same time strictly ordered each village to form its own patrol team, and caught dozens of ruffians and hooligans who stole chickens and dogs, cattle and sheep within three to five days.

Lei Heng was very unconvinced, and secretly instructed those gangsters who were mixed with him to make trouble, so that Li Kui led people to chase and beat fiercely, and more than a dozen people with broken legs and arms were all frightened and dim, if only one Li Kui was so fierce, it would be okay, and every fifty people under him were like this, and in just a few days, the security in Yuncheng County has changed greatly, and I dare not say that I don't close my door at night and don't leave anything behind, it's almost the same.

Shi Wenbin still has a set of methods in handling civil disputes, and he can basically handle large and small lawsuits impartially.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the wheat harvest was basically over, the county security came to an end, Song Jiang actually wanted to use sugar-coated cannonballs to win over Li Kui, although Li Kui refused, but it was difficult to ensure that he would not be fooled in the future, so Chao Gai transferred Li Kui's team back to the camp for closed training, and transferred Chao Ran to the city to patrol and maintain law and order.

Chao Gai came to the horse market, and asked Liu Liang to call the horse Tao who drove the car, this Ma Tao is the horse carriage in Majiazhuang, his mother was sick a few months ago, and asked Chao Gai to treat the disease, and then his mother was cured, and people stayed in the horse market, to the department store, the carriage shop to drive the carriage or something, hard-working, and the response was good.

"Owner." Ma Tao respectfully.

"Sit down Ma Tao, I heard from Shopkeeper Liu that you have done a good job during this time."

"It's all as it should be."

"I'm going to build a new independent carriage shop, called a coach, with only four cars and eight mules. Every morning, it departs from the villages farthest from the four directions of the county seat, passes through the villages along the way, and then arrives at the county seat. After noon, return to the village from the county seat. According to the direction, a route is opened in the east, west, north and south, and you go to set the route and ask to take care of each village as much as possible. ”

Ma Tao drove the carriage, Yuncheng County and the village have basically been, the four routes can be bothered, Ma Tao led people to run for three whole days, nailed the wooden stop sign announcement, and sent propaganda notices to each village.

Three days later, the horse-drawn bus was opened, which was actually a long car pulling goods, with a roof on it. There is a tin box locked on the top of the car, and people who get on the car only need to throw a penny into it, regardless of the distance, and the price is very cheap. Of course, this car will not stop casually, only where there is a stop sign.

Yuncheng County is a small county, but the farthest rural area to the county seat is sixty or seventy miles, and it takes more than half a day to walk, so many old people have not been to the county seat for dozens of years. The opening of the bus and horse-drawn carriage has made it convenient for many people to enter the city, and the flow of people in the county has increased.

The people of the village reacted greatly, very welcome this bus line, with this carriage can solve the big problem, originally only a few people can take the carriage into the city, after the bus line, ordinary people can also do the carriage into the city, but the carriage goes back and forth once a day, each time it sits twenty or thirty people, it seems a little crowded, and the two sturdy mules pull up are a little difficult.

Of course, there is no need to increase the number of vehicles at present, after all, the countryside in this era is still dominated by a self-sufficient natural economy, and Chao Gai is unlikely to change anything immediately in a short period of time.

Ma Tao is not only good at driving, but also has a set of management, counting the money in the carriage money box every day, and each car almost has an income of seventy or eighty yuan, which is almost able to break even.

Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, dealt with the completion of the matter, practiced calligraphy with a brush, and asked the chief entourage next to him, "Is there anything new in the county recently?" ”

"The county is much safer, and the streets are cleaner." Long follow-up.

"I know this, the guy named Hei Li Kui is like a thief, and he will be the head of the capital, which gang dares to make trouble again. Liu Tang, the head of the Ma army, is much stronger than the original Zhu Tong, and he is not idle on duty every day. Are there any others? ”

"A new carriage shop has been established, the shopkeeper is called Ma Tao, this carriage shop is interesting, no matter how far you sit in the car, it only costs a penny."

Shi Wenbin said with a smile: "That's not a loss of money, a mule and horse will have to eat 20 yuan of forage for a day." ”

"This car dealer comes every morning from the four rural areas farthest away from the county seat, east, west, north and south, and after lunch, sets off from the county seat and returns to the countryside." Chang Sui said, "The car dealership is not very profitable, but the number of people in the city has increased significantly, and some elderly people and children who have never entered the city can also enter the city, and the merchants on both sides of the street have more profits." ”

Shi Wenbin smiled: "If my guess is right, the boss of this car dealership should be Chao Gai." ”

"I really don't know this, but there are really not many people in Yuncheng County who are willing to do this kind of money-losing business."

Shi Wenbin said: "The two of us changed into civilian clothes, went out to take a bus and a horse-drawn carriage, and went to the countryside for a walk." ”
