Chapter 55: Trouble
Wu Guanhai saw Song Wenjian ask like this, and replied after pondering for a while: "One is a businessman who does business, the second is a splasher, and the third is a gentry. ”
"By the way, we've dealt with the merchants for the time being, but what about the pimples and gentry in the back?" Song Wenjian asked. "There are a lot of splashes in Yangqingwei Town, if it's just us, we may not be able to beat them."
Wu Guanhai said: "It's a pity that Dai Wang's time with me is too short, otherwise I can train them to become strong soldiers." ”
Wu Guanhai used to be a soldier in the guard, and he had martial arts, but later retired because he offended his boss in the army, and found a relationship to serve in the Yamen barracks of Suixi County, and also became a warden in the barracks.
But because he offended his boss Chen Huatao, he was demoted.
Song Wenjian nodded and said: "Yes, the time is too short, we only have one month, and time waits for no one." What worries me the most is not those splashes, but the Luogang bandits. ”
Wu Guanhai's face changed, the Luogang thieves didn't dare to go to the county seat to find trouble for them, but in Yangqing Township, they could come over at any time.
"My lord, what should I do?" Wu Guanhai asked.
"Let's recruit these dozens of people first, anyway, it's twenty or thirty taels of silver a month, which is not much, and we are not short of money now." Song Wenjian said with a smile.
Wu Guanhai understood what Song Wenjian meant, so he asked these helpers for a month first.
If Song Hua can get through the difficulty, everything is okay.
Like the current tax money in Wei Town, you can receive a few hundred taels of silver a month, which can also solve a lot of problems.
Especially the matter of the Luogang bandits, it is to kill people, and they can't be careless.
"Young master, I understand. Tomorrow the helpers from the villages will come over, and I will train them well, and train them according to the requirements of the yamen to train the soldiers. "Wu Guan Haidao.
"Yes, it's good that you understand." Song Wenjian let Wu Guanhai out.
After a while, Old Man Hong walked in. "Township Chief Song, are you looking for me?"
"Well, Old Man Hong, the news you have inquired about in the past two days is quite useful, and the twenty yuan is a reward for you." Song Wenjian took out the reward money and gave it to Old Man Hong.
Seeing that Song Wenjian was so generous, Old Man Hong immediately smiled and said: "Township Chief Song, it's not that I, Old Man Hong, bragging, there is nothing in Yangqing Township that I don't know." If you want to know anything in the future, you can come to me and ask. ”
"I heard that Subton is dying?" Song Wenjian asked.
"Ah, no, wouldn't it?" Old man Hong was taken aback. "I saw him in the polder today."
"You can help me spread the news that Su Botong's leg is sick and he is about to die." Song Wenjian said.
Old man Hong suddenly realized, "Yes, township chief, I saw that when Master Su Botong got off the sedan chair, he asked the servant to support him, as if his legs were inconvenient." ”
"It's ten cents, you spread the news." Song Wenjian took another ten yuan to Old Man Hong.
In ancient times, I didn't know how terrible the spread of rumors was, especially the Internet spread in later generations, and a fake news spread out, with a nod boo, it would attract a lot of melon-eating audiences to watch.
Everyone said so, and the rumors would become true.
In the evening, Dai Wang had already brought five young men to report to Wei Town, there was such a good thing, they were afraid that Song Wenjian would regret it, so it was better to strike first.
Song Wenjian saw them coming, and asked Jian Yuping to take them to the warehouse on the right side of the township.
There is a very large warehouse in the township, and when the tax grain is received, it is put in the warehouse and guarded. After collecting all the taxes and grains, they were loaded into trucks and escorted to the warehouse of the county yamen.
The township warehouse is very large, and there is a large open space in it, surrounded by high walls, which is suitable for Wu Guanhai to train in it.
In the courtyard of Mojiazhuang, a man in a black shirt listened to Mo Weifeng tell about Song Wenjian and others coming to Yunbao Restaurant to collect tax money today.
This man is Chen Chang, and he also came down on the day Song Wenjian came to Yangqing Township.
Chen Huatao asked him to incite the Mo family and others to make things difficult for Song Wenjian, and he must flee back to Suixi County in disgrace.
didn't expect Song Wenjian to stand firm so quickly and collect a few hundred taels of taxes, which made Chen Chang secretly surprised.
It seems that the old man is right, Song Wenjian is not a fool, he has been pretending to be crazy and stupid.
"Alas, Wei Feng, at that time, you insisted on not giving money, and he had no way to take you." Chen Chang is a pity to be authentic.
If Song Wenjian beat Mo Weifeng to death, things would be easy to do, and Song Wenjian would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
But Mo Weifeng was so afraid of death, he was frightened by Song Wenjian, and actually admitted to giving money.
It is inconvenient for him to step out of the open, otherwise he will definitely finish Song Wenjian with his cleverness.
"The situation was very chaotic, and you weren't with me, so I didn't know what to do." Mo Weifeng secretly scolded Chen Chang for commanding in the back and always treating himself as a gunman.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, now that Song Wenjian has collected money from small merchants and hawkers, who is the most angry? Wouldn't you just ask them to do it tomorrow? Chen Changyin smiled.
Mo Weifeng's eyes lit up, yes, the puffy skin in Weizhen is not vegetarian. They don't dare to take money from big shops, but they still charge stalls such as small traders and hawkers.
Now that Song Wenjian has collected the money, he also said that he can't accept it anymore, and those splashes must have opinions.
Don't underestimate those splashes in Polder Town, there are dozens of people gathered together, and they are a force that should not be underestimated.
"Okay, I'll go find them now." Mo Weifeng stood up excitedly.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Chen Chang also stood up and looked at the pretty maid standing next to him, with color in his eyes.
The old man asked him to come over to the Mo family for guidance, which is still good. It's good to eat and live here, and you can also pull a maid to warm up the bed at night.
If he could, he wanted to be in the Mo family for the rest of his life.
It was dawn, and Song Wenjian and the others were all eating breakfast in the courtyard.
"Township chief, township chief, things are not good." There was a hurried sound outside.
Old man Hong was holding a bowl of white porridge and biting the white steamed bun in his mouth, and when he heard someone shouting outside, he hurriedly put down the rice bowl and opened the door.
Outside stood two wretched vendors, their faces swollen and their clothes torn.
Song Wenjian walked out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Township Chief Song, there were a few splashes in the polder just now, and they asked us to pay the money. We told him that the money had been handed over to the township office and asked them to come to the township office to get it, but they didn't listen and not only smashed our stalls, but also beat us. The peddler cried out in grief.
They knew that something would happen to them if they received money, and they could not afford to offend either side, and then they would suffer again.
"Brothers, don't eat, copy guy." Song Wenjian screamed angrily as he pressed the scabbard.
Dai Wang, they had almost eaten, and when they heard that they were making trouble, they all stood up and took their weapons.
Song Wenjian smiled and asked, "Dai Wang, are you afraid?" ”
"I, we're not afraid." Dai Wang: They are still a little scared.
After all, they are from Yangqing Township, and they will be retaliated against by those pranksters in the future.
Song Wenjian said solemnly: "Do you usually let yourself be bullied? As long as we take care of it, we are not afraid to go anywhere. ”
