Chapter 161: The Rules of the Beggar Gang (Three Watches)
Yue Kang sat at the wine table, looking a little absent-minded.
When Elder Feng toasted him, he shouted at him several times before he came to his senses and hurriedly had a toast with Elder Feng and Elder Xia.
"Helper, what are you thinking?" Elder Feng couldn't help but ask.
Yue Kang smiled and said, "It's nothing. After that, he picked up his glass and toasted it with the two elders.
After the wine glasses of the three people were empty, Niu Yexue, who was sitting on Yue Kang's right hand, picked up the wine jug and gave the three of them a full bottle of wine, and when Elder Feng and Elder Xia poured wine for Niu Yexue, in order to show their respect for Niu Yexue, they held the wine glass in both hands and stretched it out in front of Niu Yexue, and after Niu Yexue finished pouring, they said thank you.
The two elders also saw that Niu Yexue's status in Yue Kang's heart was extraordinary, so they were extremely polite to Niu Yexue, and the two praised Niu Yexue as a good girl.
At this time, Niu Yexue always glanced at Yue Kang secretly, and when she saw that the other party was also smiling and looking at herself, she had a sweet feeling in her heart.
Yue Kang chatted with Elder Feng and Elder Xia about some things about the beggar gang, Niu Yexue sat quietly on the side, like a well-behaved daughter-in-law, she knew that it was inconvenient for her to intervene in the other people's gang, and only occasionally peeked at Yue Kang, who spoke calmly, and when she bumped into Yue Kang's eyes, she felt a little hot on her face.
The wine is the best wine, the food is not bad, the four meat and four vegetables, the beggar gang is known as the first big gang, the gang has thousands of disciples, to maintain such a big gang, no money is not good, don't look at the beggar gang with the name of asking for food, usually wear tattered, people are often confused by their appearance.
The reason why you wear tattered clothes is also a sign of inheritance, and if you walk on the street with a few cloth bags on your shoulders, you can also hold your head high, which is also a status symbol.
The beggars have their own channels to make money, not to mention the money that is usually offered by the people at the bottom, they also have their own business and their own wharf, and the so-called wharf is also about the territory.
The monthly expenses of the beggars are also a large amount, and if they only rely on asking for some money from the rich people, it is far from enough to maintain the large beggar gang.
Of course, begging is also a lot of income, just imagine that each disciple of the beggar gang has to get one or two pieces of silver a day, and the number of thousands of gangs added up is not a small amount.
Unlike those street beggars, they don't take a stick and a broken bowl on the street, and when they see it, they shout, "Okay, okay!" ”。 They don't do that, but go directly to "visit" the homes of those who are rich, and if there are rich people who are not willing to give them silver, then they have a way to get the other party to take out the silver.
Don't give it, right? This is no problem, I'll go, but after a while, another wave of beggars will come to your house to ask for food, don't give it yet! Then another wave will come, if you are tired of closing the door directly, then they will sit in front of your house under the shady tree and hum a little song, and they have time, and when you open the door, they will rush up, and you will be so disturbed that in order to prevent them from making trouble, they have to take out the money and send them away.
The government is also a headache for beggars, usually turning a blind eye, because the government knows that they are not only numerous, but also not afraid of being caught in prison and eaten for public meals.
Of course, the beggars are still particular, if this wave of beggars has finished begging in this house, and the other party has given a few food money, how much is not limited, one article is the same thing, and ten is also the same thing, they will post a note at your door, writing that they have begged, then other beggars will not ask for money from this family.
The beggars' notes are privately called evil strips, because with that banner, not only can you prevent other beggars from being disturbed, but the beggars will also help you when you are in trouble.
The beggars are not scoundrels, you give them some money, and when you need someone to work in your house, they will also help, like digging out the ashes of the furnace and pouring them into the water.
For a long time, the beggar gang is not annoying, relatively speaking, those rich people still like it very much, the beggar gang is an organized and disciplined food gang, and it is much more convenient for them to have a beggar gang, such as sending a letter or something, the people of the beggar gang are still willing to serve you, and they don't take a penny, of course, if you want to show that they give them some silver taels, they will not refuse.
The beggar gang is a gang that the masses don't hate and dislike.
Can be placed on the rivers and lakes of the beggar gang has a high reputation, although the beggar gang is the lowest social status of the people, but most of them are iron bones, noble character of the good man, the beggar gang has always been righteous and thin, for justice and friendship to give up the surname life is also not hesitating, in addition to the strong to help the weak, heavy promises and trustworthiness, in the rivers and lakes have a good reputation.
Originally, Yue Kang didn't plan to stay and drink, but when he thought of Bai Miaoyun, Yue Kang stayed, Yue Kang knew that only by staying here could he learn about Bai Miaoyun as soon as possible, how could he feel that the few people who secretly followed Bai Miaoyun were not well-intentioned, and he was inevitably a little worried.
So when I drink, I also look like I'm distracted and absent-minded.
Elder Feng saw Yue Kang's abnormal state, took his wine glass and toasted Yue Kang alone, and said, "Helper, please rest assured, Tang Xue saw that the people sent to protect Miss Bai were all people with good minds, and I believe that Miss Bai would be able to deal with everything even if something happened." ”
Yue Kang smiled, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, Yue Kang controlled his words, and Elder Feng asked at the door, "Who!" ”
Tang Xuejian's voice came from outside the door, "Elder Feng is my Xuejian." ”
After Elder Xia heard that it was Tang Xue who saw it, he got up and opened the door himself.
"What's the matter with Yukimi?" Elder Xia asked, Tang Xuejian was his henchman, and he was one of the people he trusted the most, and he usually called Tang Xuejian by his name.
"Back to Elder Xia, someone came to report just now that something happened to Miss Bai." Tang Jianxue saluted the two elders and Yue Kang in the house, and said respectfully.
As soon as Yue Kang heard that Bai Miaoyun had an accident, he stood up with an anxious look on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Xue Jian, what happened to the eldest sister." ”
Tang Xue hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Miss Bai has not been harmed, and she is already safe and sound." ”
The stone in Yue Kang's heart fell, "What about the person who came back to report?" ”
Tang Xue saw and said, "It's outside." ”
"Let him in." Although Yue Kang knew that Bai Miaoyun was fine now, he was still a little uneasy.
Tang Xue saw that he was right, and when he walked out and waited for him to come back, there was an extra person behind him, that person was dressed in tatters, a pair of cloth shoes with exposed toes, and his hair was messy, but his eyes were exceptionally clear, so that people could remember his eyes after seeing him for the first time.
"Small, Zhang Qi see the helper, see the two elders." After Zhang Qi came in, he knelt on one knee on the ground, looking respectful, panting, and knew at a glance that he was rushing back.
Yue Kang ordered him to get up and told him what Bai Miaoyun had encountered, and after speaking, Yue Kang also specially moved a stool for him to sit down and said, Zhang Qi was a little flattered and didn't dare to sit down, Elder Feng next to him said, the helper will let you sit down! Zhang Qi sat down very uncomfortably, everyone present was the leader of the beggar gang, and he was able to sit on an equal footing with several people, which really made him feel very excited, and at the same time, he also had a good impression of this young gang leader.
At the same time, Yue Kang also instructed Tang Xue to sit down, and Tang Xue was not coquettish when she saw it, so she found a stool and sat down.
