Chapter Forty-Seven: Strike When It's Time to Strike
At the end of the day, Wu Shaogang led Zhang Binghui and others to start patrolling in Zhongwazi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sky is not yet bright, but the area around Zhongwazi is brightly lit, almost every room is hung with red lanterns outside, and candlelight shines from the inside of the lanterns, and some people shuttle between the rooms, their expressions are full of excitement.
If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a military uniform, holding a Song hand knife, and leading Zhang Binghui, Ma Long and others to patrol, Wu Shaogang would almost wonder if he had crossed over again, such a lively and modern scene is rare even after a thousand years.
The so-called patrol, in fact, is to maintain local order, to prevent major chaos, and there are real fights and even deaths.
On the first patrol, Wu Shaogang was very cautious, he didn't know the rules here.
When he just left the barracks, the sergeant on duty at the gate of the barracks asked for money, which shows that the sergeant on patrol will definitely be able to get benefits, after all, the tile belongs to the entertainment venue, and any messy things will happen.
Taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others, the patrol sergeant of the Urging Front Army will naturally turn a blind eye when he gets the money.
Wu Shaogang, who crossed over, knew that there was something like this in it, and there had been such a thing thousands of years later, and the so-called police and bandit family was not a portrayal of such a situation.
The patrol team entered Zhongwazi and began to march through the narrow alleys.
Relatively speaking, this time is relatively quiet, after all, after a night of hustle and bustle, except for most of the gambling houses still shouted loudly, the rest of the place is silent, the restaurant has not yet opened, and the brothel girl is still asleep.
The alleys are dotted with all over the place, and it is still a little difficult to really walk through them completely.
Wu Shaogang didn't have the heart to go all over the Zhongwazi.
The middle tile of the capital, can be said to be the largest entertainment place in the Southern Song Dynasty, everyone knows that as long as it is the place where the entertainment place is concentrated, there is always some story, but also there is a background, which can not be avoided, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres of tile, hiding dirt and dirt, it is impossible to be peaceful, it is impossible to remediate, here is one of the main sources of government taxes.
Wu Shaogang is not pedantic, gambling houses and brothels, etc., are strictly forbidden after a thousand years, but now they are completely legal, as for those things that cause bankruptcy because of gambling, or force good people to become prostitutes, he can't control it, and he won't care about it.
At dawn, the sky was bright.
The sun has come out, the weather is good, the climate has already warmed, and the harsh winter has long passed.
Many restaurants are gradually opening their doors, and many people come to Zhongwazi in search of entertainment.
In the alley ahead, there was the sound of girls crying and men pleading.
Wu Shaogang hesitated slightly, led Zhang Binghui and the others into the alley.
The scene that appeared in front of him shocked Wu Shaogang.
Four strong men are pulling a girl with a cloak and dragging it towards the house, the girl is struggling desperately, two strong men are kicking the old man rolling on the ground with their feet, a Xi qin and a gong are scattered on the ground, and beside these six strong men, two patrol houses in blue public uniforms are holding their hands and watching, with indifferent smiles on their faces.
The struggling girl kept turning her head to look at the old man on the ground, the old man holding his head, and his mouth was still making a pleading sound, as if begging these people to let the girl go.
The appearance of Wu Shaogang and others made the six strong men stunned for a moment, including two of them, and their faces also showed a look of surprise.
The six strong men stopped their movements and watched the two catch fast.
One of them stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"It's the military master of the front division of the palace, this old man owes money, and he can't afford to pay it back, so he can only do this...
As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and quietly handed it to Wu Shaogang.
"Master Jun, didn't you say it's okay, the patrol room is responsible for the inside of the middle tile, we don't know that the rules have changed...
Wu Shaogang glanced at the arrester coldly, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
This kind of thing should be sparse and ordinary in the tile, I am afraid that this old man owes money to the brothel, or usury, and cannot afford it, so his own girl or granddaughter is sent to the brothel to pay off the debt.
Don't talk about the old people on the ground, Wu Shaogang's family has encountered such a thing.
To make a move or not to make a move, Wu Shaogang was a little hesitant, rational him, he knew that the water in this was very deep and the power was also very strong, if he made a rash move, he was afraid that it would cause too many incidents.
Just before Wu Shaogang could speak, a middle-aged man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks came out of the room.
The middle-aged man barely looked at Wu Shaogang and the others, and the big speaker spoke.
"What time are you delaying, don't hurry up...
The middle-aged man who spoke, the gold teeth in his mouth popped out, shiny.
Wu Shaogang's anger was ignited again.
"Let go of this girl."
When the cold words came, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Wu Shaogang, and spoke with disdain on his face.
"Master Jun, this is our own business, it is natural to repay debts, it is not your turn to speak, don't be bored...
Wu Shaogang didn't look at the middle-aged man, and turned his head to Zhang Binghui beside him and spoke.
"General Zhang, where did the dog bark from, you go and shut him up."
Zhang Binghui was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what he meant.
"Obey, Du Xiaoqi, Wang Thirteen, follow me."
Wu Shaogang was on the opposite side, his face turned pale, and he spoke with a little anger.
"Master Jun, what do you mean, do you want to come and stir up the scene...
Zhang Binghui and the others moved too fast, and quickly rushed to the front of the middle-aged man, Du Xiaoqi and Wang Shisan tied the middle-aged man's arms behind their backs, and Zhang Binghui sneered and hit the middle-aged man's gold teeth with the handle of the knife.
With a scream, accompanied by blood, the golden tooth fell to the ground.
The four strong men hesitated and let go of the girl, and the two strong men stopped kicking the old man on the ground, seeing that the middle-aged man was cleaned up, they didn't dare to do it, after all, there were dozens of sergeants opposite, if they did it at this time, I am afraid that there would be no place to die.
The two catchers didn't dare to make a move, they knew how powerful the Urging Front Army was.
With the appearance of the screams, there was soon movement in the house, and a group of people rushed out, holding knives and guns in their hands, and a rich middle-aged man behind them slowly walked out.
After seeing Wu Shaogang, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe what was happening in front of him.
However, the scene in front of him made the anger on the middle-aged man's face appear quickly.
"What do you mean by this, Master Jun, Jiale Lou is not so easy to bully...
Before the middle-aged man's words fell, many strong men in front of him had already raised their swords and were ready to move.
Wu Shaogang smiled coldly and spoke to the people behind him.
"Listen to my orders, as long as someone in Jiale Lou dares to do it, it will be killed."
As soon as Wu Shaogang's words fell, Ma Long and the others quickly pulled out Song's hand knife.
A murderous aura spread in an instant.
The middle-aged man's body trembled, and he looked at Wu Shaogang again, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"This military master is very face-saving, I am Huang Maosheng, the shopkeeper of Jiale Building, I don't know the military master...
"Wu Shaogang, deputy general of the Urging Front Army, Huang Shopkeeper, if you want to sue, just go, but I am in charge of today's matter."
"It turned out to be Vice General Wu, small things, everything is according to what Vice General Wu said, this girl, even if it was given to Vice General Wu by Jiale Lou...
The middle-aged man said these words, and the atmosphere at the scene quickly eased.
Wu Shaogang looked at the middle-aged man and then spoke.
"General Zhang, Du Xiaoqi, Wang Thirteen, release people."
When Du Xiaoqi and Wang Thirteen let go, the middle-aged man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks instantly collapsed to the ground, but he didn't dare to shout, covering his mouth with his right hand, and picking up the gold teeth on the ground with his left hand.
The two arresters in the patrol room hurriedly left after looking at Wu Shaogang and the others.
Huang Maosheng warmly invited Wu Shaogang and others to sit in Jiale Building, but Wu Shaogang declined.
Huang Maosheng was not polite, led everyone into the house, and closed the door.
The old man was still lying on the ground, with an IOU beside him, and the girl pounced on the old man, sobbing in a low voice.
Huang Maosheng did things simply, put the IOU on the ground, and at this moment, as long as Wu Shao just picked up the IOU on the ground, he could dispose of the old man and the girl at will.
Wu Shaogang stepped forward and looked at the old man on the ground, the old man's face was covered with blood, at such an age, he had been beaten, and it was not a matter of time or a half to recover.
The old man raised his head vigorously, and his frightened eyes made Wu Shaogang's heart tremble.
Sighing slightly, Wu Shaogang took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the ground.
"Hurry up and get out of here, find a place to heal, and I will be able to help you with this."
After saying this, Wu Shaogang took a few steps back, he would not leave for the time being, he had to wait until the old man and the girl left, otherwise after they left, who knows if Huang Maosheng would come out of the house.
The old man couldn't believe it, and wiped the blood stains on his face with his sleeve.
"En, Engong...
"Get out of here, we're still on patrol."
The girl lifted the old man up, and did not take the silver from the ground, nor did she care about the IOU on the ground, and they were probably still in a trance.
"Zhang Binghui, give them all the silver and IOUs, send two people, escort them away, and come back to patrol until it is safe."
When the IOU and the silver were in hand, the old man finally sobered up a little, he staggered to Wu Shaogang, knelt down, and the girl next to him also knelt down.
"Engong, your great kindness, you will repay it in the next life...
The old man and the girl finally left.
Wu Shaogang looked at Jiale Lou and led everyone to leave, what he didn't and couldn't notice was that there was a pair of eyes behind the door, staring at all this along the crack of the door.
