Chapter 128: The Problem of Face (Part II)

When Xiong Er heard this, he had a plan in his heart, and hurriedly inquired about Wang Sanpao's location and bought an invitation from him. Wang Sanpao, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, saw Xiong Er, and said with a smile: "Second master, you want to go in too?" This price is not low, do you know how much silver Zhao Siye spent to get in? One hundred taels, one hundred taels! It's not that my brother is embarrassed for him, I have to sell him an invitation of fifty taels for one hundred taels, that's because there are still ten invitations, and others bid for two hundred taels and one piece, I can't help it, but I still sold it to him at a discount on the face of the same Yangzhou people. ”

Xiong Er said in Wang Sanpao's ear: "Third master, let me tell you this, I only have fifty taels of silver in all my belongings, and I fished it out of the river." ”

Wang Sanpao was surprised: "With you, many people go to the Grand Canal to get silver, why did you get it?" ”

Xiong Er smiled: "Luck, luck, but if the third master can sell me a ticket, I, Xiong Er, will defect to you in the future and be your pawn." That Fourth Master Zhao is rich, but that old boy won't be a pawn for your third master, right? Third master, I heard that Hou Ye has become a police inspector, and you are the only old man in the inspection office except for Inspector Gong, so Inspector Gong is a foreigner, isn't the inspection office still your world? In the future, you will be an inspector, and you will inevitably encounter some troubles on the street, we are all from Dongcheng, do you say that if I don't help you, will you let Zhao Sihai from Xicheng help you? ”

Wang Sanpao was surprised for a while, and said with a smile: "You kid has a very smart brain." He thought for a moment and said, "Sell you a face, and you will be my street eyes in the future." ”

"Come on, third master, you will also be my backer in the future." Xiong Er said happily.

When the sky was bright, Xiong Er returned home, saw that the two sons were still crying and crying, and he was angry, so he dragged the two sons aside and beat them violently, reprimanding them for being so unproductive, and only after beating them did he take out the invitation and said: "Don't fucking cry, your father and I are saving face, I asked for an invitation, I can bring four people in, you two, plus your mother, and your Uncle Fang." Xiong Ming, you go and call your Uncle Fang, we'll go now. "Uncle Fang is Xiong Er's pawn, and he is also a young man in this neighborhood alley, because Xiong Er kept the alley, and from then on he followed Xiong Er as an idol.

Xiong Er's wife was startled, and hurriedly said: "I won't go, I won't go, I'll be embarrassed by a woman's family." Xiong Er's wife is a native of Henan Province, who fled to Yangzhou eleven years ago, and was rescued by Xiong Er, became his mother-in-law, and gave birth to Xiong Ming and Xiong Liang brothers. Although Xiong Er's wife is illiterate, she is diligent in managing this family, and understands that the quota is precious, and it is better to let Xiong Er sell face if she goes to a mother-in-law.

Xiong Er saw that she didn't want to go, thinking that she was in a mood, so he pulled his face and said: "If you don't go, you won't go, I'll find someone else, you stupid mother-in-law, it's too late for others to catch up with such a good thing, but you dodged it, the two sons must follow you, alas, ......"

So Xiong Er took his two sons, his younger brother Xiaofang and his cousin five people, and came to the gate of the barracks with an invitation, but when he saw tens of thousands of people standing at the door, they refused to leave one by one. Suddenly, Xiong Er's chest became proud, and he recognized Xiong Er with sharp eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "Second master, you are late, you can still enter in the middle of the night last night, and now, only the official master can enter with an invitation." ”

Before Xiong Er could speak, Xiao Fang jumped out and shouted, "Hey, Zheng Dazui, look at what this is?" He waved the invitation and said: "Look, this is an invitation, someone invited our second master to watch, do you think the second master needs to queue up to watch it like you?" Do you really think that the second master's face is the same as you? Our second master will be a distinguished guest of the prefect's yamen in the future, do you know? ”

The people were in an uproar, they didn't expect Xiong Er Ye to be so face-saving, only to see Xiong Er come to the entrance with his subordinates and two sons, and shook the invitation to the guards, the guards hurriedly nodded their heads, but they still symbolically searched their bodies, so as not to have assassins enter and make trouble. In terms of security, Wang Yongan took great pains, after all, the Yangzhou Revolutionary Party was not under his friend Chen Qimei, but under Tao Chengzhang, who was known as "bin Laden" in the late Qing Dynasty. Tao Chengzhang used to be very close to Sun Yat-sen, but now he is gradually getting together with Song Jiaoren, and Song Jiaoren and Sun Yat-sen are now in dispute because of ideas, and many people oppose Sun Yat-sen's paranoid and fantastical political thoughts, Tao Chengzhang is one of them.

Tao Chengzhang had a great influence in the revolutionary party in the Jiangnan area, and Chen Qimei was suppressed by him and held a grudge, and finally Chen Qimei sent his younger brother Jiang Zhongzheng to assassinate Tao Chengzhang in the Guangci Hospital in Shanghai. Sun Yat-sen cried for a mouse, "shocked" and "very sad", and published a message of condolence to the murderer on the sixth page of the "Minli Daily": "Tao Jun has embraced the revolutionary purpose for more than ten years, and has spared no effort in running the movement. On the occasion of recovery, Tao Jun has made great achievements, and he has suffered a tragic disaster, which can mourn for the future of our Republic of China! How can I tolerate misdeeds to run rampant and kill my good men? ”

Therefore, politicians are shameless, even the "father of the nation".

After Wang Sanpao sold the invitations completely, he reported to Wang Yongan in detail the price and before and after each invitation sold, as well as the people and relationships who bought the invitations, and even the background of each person, all of which were detailed by Wang Sanpao. Including Xiong Er taking refuge with him, Wang Sanpao said that although this Xiong Er is not very capable, he is also a local snake, and he needs to find him to do some shady things in the future, so he sold it to him at a low price privately.

Wang Yongan saw that Wang Sanpao was not greedy for ink for half a cent of silver, and he really admired this old boy, if he wanted to say that Wang Sanpao was not mixed, he was naturally very mixed, but most of the time he still understood the priorities.

A total of 3,315 taels of tickets were sold this time, so he gave him the fraction of 115 taels, and the other 200 taels were given to Gong Wuyuan and Hou Gan. Wang Yongan gave Li Yao and his men 500 taels of silver, and Liu Hui and his men 500 taels of silver, and got 2,000 taels of silver for himself.

After Wang Yongan received the money, he came to the rostrum and reported in Wang Yongtai's ear, Wang Yongtai was taken aback and said, "Are there really so many?" ”

"Seriously!"

Wang Yongtai shook his head again and again and sighed: "I didn't expect this...... What's going on with your kid's brain, you can think of so many ways to make money. ”

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "Second brother, I make money for you to support you as an official, for our family." ”

Wang Yongtai patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know you are working hard, and you will have your own money at your disposal in the future, just tell me how to spend it, and keep an account." ”

Wang Yongan was overjoyed, Wang Yongtai's words mean that he will be the god of wealth in the family in the future, and he actually handed over the wealth to himself, which is really an unexpected happy event.

At this time, Xiong Er also took his men to the elegant seat, but he didn't expect that the elegant seat was just a platform, with a stool on it, the platform was one meter high, and his son and younger brothers sat on the edge of the platform, which was much easier than the ordinary people standing on the side. His position is not good, on the left is the viewing area of the common people, and on the platform next to him on the right is an unknown salt merchant with a bodyguard, because he doesn't know the salt merchant, Xiong Er has no idea of talking.

However, in the people's area, someone had already recognized Xiong Erye, and those who were familiar with each other immediately stepped forward to say hello, and Xiong Er asked, "Can the big competition start?" ”

"If you go back to the second master, you haven't started yet, and the project to be compared here seems to be a queue exercise."

"What is a queue exercise?"

"It's the previous battle formation, see whose battle formation is well placed."

"Oh...... I see, it's hilarious. ”

The first event of the next day was different from the previous day, with 200 people from each side being sent by both sides to walk, run, step forward, stand in a military posture, and operate guns. With Wang Yongtai's whistle, the game officially began, and the new barracks took the lead. Two hundred recruits walked in a neat march from one section of the school yard to the center, and then began to walk at the command of the commander, and when they reached the center of the school yard, they stood as tall as javelins.

"Get shot!"

"Wow!"

"With a gun."

"Wow!"

"Flat guns!"

"Wow!"

"Put away the gun!"

"Wow!"

"Turn left!"

"Smack!"

"Turn right!"

"Smack!"

"Turn back!"

"Smack!"

"Walking in unison......"

As the team reached the other end of the school grounds, the commander shouted, "Stand! Turn back and run...... Walk! ”

"Wow! Revile! Boom......"

"Good!"

The sound of neat footsteps made the entire school field hear only one sound, one tuning, and the group of soldiers wearing toad skins in the eyes of people were able to walk in this spirit, which really made many people's jaws drop in surprise.

Wang Yongan stood on the rostrum, smiled in his heart and said, "Shocked, right? Surprised, right? When Lao Tzu was in college, he was trained by the group of forest armed police instructors for half a month, a small sample, what is this, you must know that the group of people in the National Day military parade has practiced for half a year. If it is said that the parade queue of Chinese soldiers is the second in the world, then no one dares to say that their own parade can be the first. ”

The officers were also dumbfounded, especially Yang Zhenshan, who couldn't help but say: "What is this better than, what is this better than what, the veterans below don't have to appear, and the appearance is also embarrassing, not comparable, not comparable!" ”

"It's still better to compare." Wang Yongtai said on the side, "Even if they lose, let them see where they lose, the recruits are really good in the queue, Section Chief Fang and Adjutant Wang, they should be credited." ”

The people were also full of emotion, especially Xiong Er, who widened his eyes and scratched his head and shouted: "This battle array is really a god, it is really a god!" Look at how people go—tsk, I used to be an errand in the Green Battalion for three years, and our Green Battalion soldiers can't compare to this. ”

"Yo! Second master, have you ever been a soldier? ”
