*******************************************************************************************************
The big village of the pot guy is not the Juyi Fenjin Hall of the Green Forest Cottage, just a group of splashers, half robbing and half renting, occupying so many houses as their own stronghold. The gangsters usually go out to shop and cause trouble, and when it's time to start eating, they gather in the pot and wait for the meal to start.
There are no furnishings in this place, only a large kang, a kang seat, plus tables, chairs and cooking utensils. In the courtyard, there are weapons such as stone locks, stone piers, and spears and knives, and in the house, in the corner of the house, there is a dagger or an axe that sharpens quickly.
Since Zhao Guanhou came out of the cage, he has only been alone in his house, and he has not come here to eat, nor has he visited his home. There was a big tree planted in the yard, and a few gangsters were gossiping under the shade of the tree, and when they saw Zhao Guanhou coming in, they hurriedly ran over to say hello, and some people praised them with big fingers
"Crown, you're definitely this! Good example, the second fold of the leg does not change color, this brick down, the name of our small shoe shop is propped up, in the future, our buddies go out to mention that it is a small shoe shop, everyone has to take a look. ”
Someone who was more obedient asked in a low voice, "What do you mean, you are here for this today?" While talking, he stretched out four fingers, "Don't worry, he's the owner of the village, we don't plan to hold him anymore, he's in the house, we all go outside to stay, I don't like to make do with him." This person's soft goods, it's boring to do it with him. Don't look at your youth, you want to be the owner of this village, we all praise you. ”
"What about the others?" When Zhao Guanhou talked to everyone about this problem of the owner of the village a few times before, he was concerned about him left and right, and did not respond positively. There are more than a dozen people at the core of the small shoe shop, and if it comes to a group fight, more than 40 can be made, which can be regarded as a middle and lower force. In the courtyard, more than half of the core personnel are concerned, but Zhao Guanhou is still more concerned about the attitude of others.
"Don't worry, other people mean the same thing, we have already seen that Li Si is not pleasing to the eye. The one that is prepared for us every day is also called rice? It's just pig food! It's good for him to be himself, there are several of them outside, and he smokes a big cigarette when he has nothing to do, and everyone has long been dissatisfied with him, but he can't find anyone to take him. This time you come to be the owner of this village, I see who is against it! ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded at everyone, "Since this is the case, then I will also deal with this matter first." It's just that I'm a little limited, and I'm young, I'm afraid that I can't be such a big family, and I still need to take care of my seniors and uncles in the future. ”
When he came out of Su Hanzhi, he put twenty taels of silver on his body, and then he took out the silver and lit it up in front of everyone. "This money is not much, it can be regarded as a little caution, when I do the position of the owner of the village, everyone will issue it according to the head, and I guarantee that it will not be deducted."
These gangsters mostly deal with copper yuan on weekdays, and when they see more silver, they spend less, and when they see this snowflake pattern silver twenty taels, they are immediately dazzled. There was a little more greed in their eyes, and several people couldn't help but look for weapons
"What do you say, let's all listen, why don't we go in now and pack them up? Let me tell you, Liu Xiong is not a good thing, he and Li Si are wearing a pair of pants, if he wants to win this village owner, he must not stay. ”
Of course, Liu Xiong can't stay. Zhao Guanhou, the owner of the village, must do it himself, and whoever robs it is his enemy. But he can't concurrently hold the position of military advisor, and in the pot guy, the military advisor is also in charge of finances, and these splashes are all staring at this position, if Liu Xiong stays, how can this fat shortage get into their hands. Zhao Guanhou is also very clear about this, but he also has to rely on this bone to let these people use it for himself, so he does not break their calculations.
"Don't be so troublesome, everyone is your own people, peace is precious, and it's better not to see blood." Zhao Guanhou didn't let everyone do it, he came to the door on crutches, and turned back to everyone:
"Now in Jinmen County, in order to visit the robbers, I'm afraid that my eyes are already blue, and there is some movement on our side, and the yamen doesn't treat us as bandits, so let's send us to prison first. Hurry up and buy some noodles, let's eat lo noodles and shrimp and eggs at noon today, and tell the brothers to come over and be full. ”
The houses in this place were as low and dilapidated as his own dwellings, and the light was not good, and although it was morning, the houses were still dim and dark. As soon as the person entered the door, a foul smell came to his nose. There were only two middle-aged men in the room, one sitting at the small table by the door, with abacus beads in his hand, and the other sitting by the kang smoking a cigarette pouch.
These two people are very familiar with the previous Zhao Guanhou, so they naturally recognize that the one who smokes the cigarette bag is Li Si, the owner of the village who is flying knife, and the one who plans to plate is the military advisor Liu Xiong. Among the pot guys, the leader is called the owner of the village, and Wen Dan is the military advisor, taken from Shuibo Liangshan, which means that he is a hero in Liangshan, but this Li Si has nothing to do with a hero.
The name of his flying knife does not mean that he really has a flying knife stunt that hits a hundred shots. But he participated in the brawl in the early years, and when he saw that a knife went down, the other party couldn't dodge, and he was about to go to a lawsuit, so he hurriedly flew the knife to the side to avoid a bloody light.
This incident later spread, and the name of the flying knife Li Si was also spread. As for being able to be the owner of this place, it was purely a few years ago that there was a large-scale conflict between the small shoe shop and another gangster, and a fight injured the vitality, and several famous characters were either killed or arrested in the yamen, and he was the only one who came out.
Speaking of which, Li Si and Zhao Guanhou's father are still sworn brothers, so after Zhao Guanhou entered the room, he also respectfully called Fourth Uncle, and then shouted Uncle Liu to Liu Xiong. It's just that the sound insulation of this room is very poor, if he shouts at the door, the room must be able to hear it, and these two people must know that he is not good.
Zhao Guanhou is ready to do it, although his body is not too convenient, but the ability to solve the two splashes is always there. What is really difficult is how to deal with the aftermath of the murder and how to avoid the punishment of the law. Therefore, the shouting he was outside just now was actually a demonstration to these two people, making them realize the seriousness of the situation and the hearts of the people he now has in the gang, and making them give up the idea of doing something.
Li Si knocked the cigarette pouch on the side of the kang a few times, and made a sitting gesture towards him, "Eldest nephew, since you came back from the yamen, the fourth uncle hasn't seen you, isn't he happy?" Don't blame the fourth uncle, if you come to the door empty-handed, the fourth uncle is really faceless, but if you want to say that you come to the door with something, the fourth uncle really can't take it out. If you don't have a family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, and if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents, and you can mix a bite of rice for the brothers in the pot guy, which is easier said than done. When you get to this position, you know how hard it is to do. Our small shoe shop is a small household, and the income is limited, and I have barely maintained it in the past few years. If you have the heart to hand over the seal, and no one can pick it up, it is not enough to put the car on hold. But now that you're up, the fourth uncle is relieved, this pot guy, it's time to hand over the print. Brother Liu Xiong, give an account. ”
Liu Xiong sat at the table, it turned out that he had been settling accounts, the gangsters had no concept of financial management, and the accounts of the gang were actually a bubble of dirt. Zhao Guanhou was under the guidance of Monica in his previous life, and even had an accountant's certificate, but looking at this account book, he still felt confused.
The accounts of the illiterate are like this, even if they want to check it, they can't find anything, and in the end, it just depends on whether they want to let them go, or they want to chase after them.
He came to seize the position of the owner of the village, of course, it was not a whim, he wanted to be the leader of a dozen city fox society rats, and he didn't think that he could carry the power of the Pang family by relying on these splashes in the small shoe shop. What he really cares about is money.
Four hundred taels of silver may not solve the problem, but without four hundred taels of silver, it must not solve the problem. Su Hanzhi is just a folk woman, she has neither a prominent background nor a rich dowry, and she is not a famous beauty among the people.
If you fill in the money yourself, and then ask Cao Zhongkun to come forward to negotiate, it is still possible to let him change someone. However, no matter who is invited, four hundred taels of silver is always indispensable.
Since Su Blind had taken a third-class woman, most of the silver was thrown into the sea, and he didn't expect to get it back. Although Cao Zhongkun's income is good, his expenses are also large, and it is impossible to come up with four hundred taels of silver to help, so he can only rely on his own strength to raise this money.
With his ability and knowledge, or the golden finger, there is no problem if he wants to mix food and clothing in this era, or live a more decent life. But if you want to make a windfall in a short period of time, there is a big problem, and the figure of four hundred taels of silver really makes him feel embarrassed.
It's definitely impossible to be a killer, there is neither an intermediary nor the conditions, and you can't even get a decent gun, so what to do. As for the talent of translation or fiction, it is a trickle, and if it accumulates over time, you can still make a small amount of money, but in a short period of time, you can't make a lot of money.
As for stealing gambling money and other means, it is not so easy, and the current era is a relatively closed society. All walks of life have their own small circles, with strong internal forces and serious xenophobia. Whether it is stealing or cheating, it affects the interests of those small circles, and these people will become their biggest enemies when the time comes. I'm afraid that as soon as I do it, I will find out about my head over there, and then the money will become a thief, and the problem will not be solved at all.
There is not much time left for him, and the only way he can think of now is the pot guy of the small shoe shop. There is not only the usual practice of this generation of storefronts, but also a public account of the Bone Society.
Even if the financial situation is bad and he can't scrape together four hundred taels of silver, he calculates that one or two hundred taels should always be there. For the sake of Su Hanzhi, he didn't mind giving it a go, moving all the money first, and then borrowing from Cao Zhongkun, and the rest of the part, even if it was borrowed in the form of usury, there would always be a way to repay it in the future.
If Li Si didn't cooperate, he wouldn't care about turning his face with the other party for the sake of Su Hanzhi. Unexpectedly, Li Si behaved very deferentially, obediently handed over the account book, and never thought about love rights. Just seeing the numbers on the account book, Zhao Guanhou's heart gradually cooled.
There were only about 20 taels of silver on the public account in the pot guy, and some of them appeared in the form of IOUs, not cash. And this is not a surplus, but all the money, with these more than 20 taels of silver, not to mention filling Su Hanzhi's dowry, even maintaining this pot guy, it is seriously insufficient, what Li Si threw to himself is not only a mess, but also a fire pit.
