Xing Shuban sat on the seat, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. He didn't understand why Master Zheng's writer would suddenly invite the six-room book to hold a banquet. And after the banquet was opened, everyone else had something to say. A table of ten people has turned into a nine-to-one pattern.

"Old Seven, there are some things that really can't be taken a wrong step. It's just a matter of losing an errand, if your net worth is not guaranteed, then even your children and grandchildren will be harmed. Li Wenming is like an old friend.

Xing Shuban's mouth should be "That's that", and his mind turned quickly: There are no cases recently, how can it provoke such a solemn warning?

He looked at the other clerks on the table, all of whom were in charge of each room or senior. Although Li Wenming is a private person of the county order, his opinion is often the opinion of the county order. Although the second and third masters in the county government did not come forward, from the usual point of view, they basically followed the order.

can alarm people at this level, so that the entire county government has almost become an iron plate, it is definitely not a small case!

Xing Shuban couldn't figure it out, he didn't say much, and his attitude also made it clear: he would never isolate himself from his colleagues, but would closely unite around the yamen of Huating County with Zheng Daling as the core, conscientiously study and implement Zheng Daling's instructions, report to the emperor's grace, go down to An Lishu, and be a good official who moved the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the accumulation of years as a eunuch, Xing Shuban would have sworn on the spot.

Finally, he saw a young man enter the private room and make a fuss.

Xing Shuban knew the young man, and it could even be said that he was very familiar with it. With his appearance, Xing Shuban's back was already sweating - if he didn't get it, he would really be a pit for his grandson!

This son's surname is Jiang Baili, and he is a steward of Renshoutang - everyone in their industry calls him a manager, and he is a limelight figure who handles large customers related to the Xu family's industry. This person is the most popular in the county, because as long as you see him, it means that you will have a good take. Many people think. Jiang Baili's job is to give people silver and gifts, all kinds of comforting - just like magpies.

Jiang Baili entered the private room of Wangyue Tower, saluted everyone, and smiled at Xing Shuban: "Seventh Master, how are you doing?" ”

Xing Shuban didn't dare to hold it up, so he got up and returned the salute. He took the initiative to move his seat and asked the store to add a seat. He said: "Mr. Jiang is here, is there a place where students can be useful?" He has already made up his mind at the moment, no matter what happens, it is always right to listen to Xu Yuanzuo's orders. Don't talk about Xu Yuanzuo's Daling teacher, just talk about the price. Who can still give Xu Yuanzuo's price code?

Jiang Baili was also not polite, and said: "The Contemptible Nursing Home has caught a few liars who have opened gambling stalls, and they may have gone too far, and now I am afraid that they will make trouble in the county." ”

Xing Shuban asked quietly: "Can you kill someone?" ”

"Not really."

When Xing Shuban heard this, there was no life. Immediately relieved, and said very confidently: "Please rest assured, the county will definitely give you justice in this matter." How much money is Guishang going to ask them to lose? Students have a good foundation. ”

Jiang Baili smiled slightly: "The student thinks that this matter cannot be solved with silver." There's something else going on in there. ”

Xing Shuban said: "I would like to hear the details." ”

"This gambling house has a name, called the Silver Hook. The owner is a splash surnamed Ding, and he doesn't know what high branches he has climbed, which will make Sijing a miasma. The contemptuous relatives were originally scholars, so they forced this group of people to go in and gamble. Various means were also used. He deceived all the money. My brother is a sincere and filial person, where would I like to see my father suffer such an insult? It's not a big deal. Say it's not small. Xing Gong is the husband, and the student also wants to ask for a strategy. ”

When Xing Shuban heard the Silver Hook Casino, his heart sank. The owner of this silver hook gambling house, Lao Ding, used to be a splash, but the street mixed very well, after opening this gambling house, it was even more righteous and squandering money, which was the famous "Saimeng taste" in Sijing.

Every month he received fifty taels of filial piety from the Silver Hook Casino. There are also additional gifts for festive birthdays. If something happens, the other side will not be stingy with money, it is an excellent relationship. No wonder the entire yamen came forward to press him, it turned out to be to smash his cornucopia!

"I know a little bit about this Silver Hook Casino." Xing Shuban groaned: "The old man of the owner is actually not a bad person, and there may be some misunderstanding. The so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled. Why don't students come forward to mediate? Tell him to kowtow to Zuo Ge'er for tea and pay some silver, what do you think? ”

Jiang Baili smiled silently.

Li Wenming sighed: "Old Seven, I'm afraid that Lao Ding has already kowtowed to tea." ”

Xing Shuban laughed ugly. He listened to Li Wenming's meaning, and it was clear that Xu Yuanzuo had already subdued people, so he lacked the aftermath. He simply said: "Even if Lao Ding admits his mistake, then his gambling house should be closed, so as not to harm the innocent again." "Saying this, Xing Shuban couldn't help but feel like a knife, fifty taels of silver a month! It was six hundred taels a year, and it was cut off in vain.

Jiang Baili saw that Xing Shuban had made his position clear, and said with a smile: "Thank you Gong Xing, but the gambling house is such a thing that cannot be put on the table, and if it is sealed, it will be troublesome." I don't know how many city fox society rats want to come out and harm people, so it's better to open a law-abiding one. I have an old classmate who is a decent person and wants to take over the business. He didn't think there was a contradiction between "decent character" and "unseemly deeds", and no one cared about this contradiction, because everyone was waiting for the hard dishes in the back.

"If you gentlemen are willing to take care of one or two, you must not be filial every month." Jiang Baili said.

Xing Shuban's heart was relieved, this was finally a blessing in misfortune. Although he will definitely not be able to get the exclusive fifty taels of filial piety, there will still be some left. And it is also beneficial for everyone present to be involved, and in the future, the business of the Silver Hook Gambling House is everyone's business, and it will be more convenient to really do something to deceive the upper and lower.

Xing Shuban said: "The small gambling is pleasant, there is no decent person to preside over the gambling file, but it makes those ploppy tigers take advantage of the loopholes." Naturally, I'm here to help. ”

The other officials are all helpers, and they have little contact with the gambling house business on weekdays, so they all say that they dare not accept it. This kind of politeness naturally will not be able to resist Xu Yuanzuo's heart of "equal interests", and in the end, everyone still determined a reasonable distribution ratio. Xing Shuban still got the lion's share, and he could have twenty-five taels of silver a month. Li Wenming divided twenty taels, but he also got him to leave with Zheng Daling. The other house officials and clerks take five or ten taels, and the judging criteria is naturally the size of the influence.

The six rooms of the county government correspond to the six departments of the imperial court, and there is another name, and people are opposed to the six characters of "rich, mighty, poor and low".

The household house is in charge of the county's household registration, land endowment, finance and taxation, and marriage. There are countless kinds of oil and water, so the word "rich" should be used. The bureaucracy is in charge of the county's Lijia, Baozheng, and township officials, as well as the county's officials, so they are naturally "noble" people; "Wei" is the torture room in charge of the prison, and all kinds of shady disciples do not pass on their children, and they have their own majesty; "Wu" is naturally a military room; The ceremonial room is responsible for the county's examinations, sacrifices, ceremonies, and tables. Because there are only exams or the student's filial piety, it is considered poor; As for "cheap", it refers to the workshop. Because the river builders in charge of a county sound like cheap labor, so it gets its name. In fact, they are secretly cutting corners, and I am afraid that it is more affordable than a house.

Of course, warehouses and grain depots are even richer, so much so that there is an official proverb that "it is better to be an official than to be a prostitute (warehouse), and it is better to be a prostitute (warehouse) than to be good (grain)". Both locations are only affordable, though. lacks influence, just throw some silver to feed in case of trouble, and you are not qualified to appear at the table.

Xu Yuanzuo attacked the Silver Hook Gambling House this time, reduced the benefits of the torture room, and brought in the other five rooms, precisely because the torture room really had no direct benefit to him. He himself is a living member, and as long as he wears a square scarf, he doesn't have to worry about being tortured. Coupled with Xu Ge's old aura, are you still afraid of lawsuits?

The other five rooms are more important to Xu Yuanzuo.

Households. That's Renjudo's tax collector. Without the presence of households, Renshoutang is illegally taxed; The office is the umbrella and introducer of Renjutang's walk to the townships. Otherwise, who is willing to give face to the rich landlord of Tang Xing? The barracks are the way for Xu Yuanzuo to steadily obtain standard equipment, impersonate the inspection department, and establish private armed forces. Without the support of the military room, it has now expanded to more than 300 people, and then it is necessary to go to rebellion; Etiquette, Xu Yuanzuo, as a student of county school, is absent from class every day and does not hand in homework, and he does not even show up for the exam. How much to show some; As for the fact that the workshop is the contractor of Huating County, Xu Yuanzuo also has a construction company to take the project from it, and it will definitely not suffer a loss to establish a broader and deeper relationship.

Li Wenming was in the middle of the liaison, took the lead in suppressing the torture room, and was a pioneer general. Not to mention that there will be more places to use him in the future. Give him twenty taels and it's definitely worth the money. Xu Yuanzuo expressed his admiration for Zheng Yue's integrity, but also regretted that Mr. Zheng refused to abandon his integrity. Fortunately, Mr. Zheng's friend is very acquainted with each other, and his outlook on life is very healthy - men should be kind to themselves.

Jiang Baili, as the executor, finalized the profit sharing method with everyone, and everyone was happy.

Li Wenming said again: "Recently, I heard that there is a big thief Ding Bu who has fled to Nanzhi. This person is the best gambler, and gambling houses everywhere are careful. Hmm, the old Ding of the Silver Hook Gambling House is also surnamed Ding, could it be the same clan? ”

Xing Shuban had already betrayed Lao Ding, so he didn't need to hide it, and immediately said: "At least five hundred years ago, it was one." His gambling house should be a good student to investigate. ”

The county government and others expressed their agreement, and the military room was even more willing to help mobilize the inspection department to go to Sijing to catch the thief seriously.

Jiang Baili successfully completed the task, happily retired, and went back to write the report.

……

However, it was said that Ding Yuan, a tyrant in Sijing, was in an emergency that day from the little girl sent by his sister-in-law, and hurriedly greeted the ploppy tiger who was raised in the field on weekdays. These people are all brave and ruthless people, they help Ding Yuan take care of the field when they have nothing to do, go out to fight and fight when something happens, and carry the guilt for others.

Ding Yuan greeted these people and asked his brother to lead the team and rush to the private door of Ai's sister-in-law's house to protect his gambling table. Who knew that this time would be like sinking into the sea, and there would be no news. When he felt that the situation was not right, he sent someone to investigate again, only to find out that the matter was far more troublesome than he imagined: those Zhejiang guests could fight better than the officers and soldiers, and they actually beat down all the scoundrels he sent. Moreover, they did not let go of people after winning the war, and they had to ignore and forgive people, saying that they would send these people to officials. Among them, of course, was his brother.

Ding Yuan is not worried about seeing officials, and fifty taels of silver per month is by no means a small amount. Xing Laoqi won't take money and don't do things, but what is the origin of these guests is really head-catching, if you don't check it clearly, you won't even be able to sleep well. He was about to send someone to check the details of those Zhejiang guests, but he heard a smashing scene outside.

"My lord asked you to drive big, don't you understand?"

A strong man stepped on the dealer's back, pulled the dealer's ear, and spoke kindly. The calmer his voice was, the more terrifying it became. The strength of this strong man beating people just now is very frightening.

Ding Yuan walked into the gambling hall and saw that the gamblers and guys were all in a circle to watch the excitement, and no one was gambling money, and a wave of anger had risen in his heart. Seeing the strong man beating his brothers all over the ground and wailing, and pulling the dealer's ears and saying those bullshit words, he was even more angry.

"This friend, you have to make some sense when you speak!" Ding Yuan himself was also a strong man with a height of seven or eight feet, and he was famous for being able to fight and carry in Songjiang Mansion. An Liuye did not dare to set up a wharf in such a prosperous place as Sijing, which was also hindered by the prestige of this person. Although he has been pampered over the years, Ding Yuan still has to work hard and exercise his fists and feet every day, so as not to lose the capital of his life.

"Finally came up with one that seemed to be able to fight."

That strong man is naturally Liu Feng.

Coming out of Ai's sister-in-law's house, Niu Dali instigated Xu He to come to the Silver Hook Casino to play two. Where is Xu He's still interested in gambling money at the moment? But he thought that the Silver Hook Gambling House was someone's nest, and maybe there were capable people who could teach Liu Feng a lesson. Running towards this dark and unspeakable purpose, he twisted his way before taking Niu Dali's suggestion.

After entering the Silver Hook Gambling House, Xu He didn't waste time, and went straight to the table where he played dice, and the first game was to be "big". The dealer doesn't have a clairvoyance to listen to the wind, where does he know about Sister-in-law's family? looked at the gambling money on the table, ignored Xu He at all, and still followed his own arrangement to open a "small".

Xu He didn't care about the silver, so he looked at Liu Feng.

Liu Feng smiled, jumped on the gambling table, and brought the dealer out for a violent beating. As soon as Lahu who came to the town wanted to bully the widows, he was knocked to the ground by him. For a while, this man seemed to have the courage to be invincible, and he was so frightened that other pranky tigers did not dare to step forward.

Until Ding Yuan came out.

Although there are already various boxing techniques in this era, most of them are practiced by the people in the market. However, the real start depends on physical fitness. In the case of not using weapons, long hands and long legs and strong body are definitely a great advantage. Liu Feng swept through Ai's courtyard to the Silver Hook Gambling House, and the enemies he encountered were all more than a head shorter than him. The same punch went out, his fist smashed into people's faces, but people couldn't even touch him, how can this be beaten?

Ding Yuan's body is about the same height as Liu Feng, and his thickness is even higher than Liu Feng. Liu Feng didn't have the slightest timidity, because Ding Yuan looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, and his physical strength was declining. The so-called boxer is afraid of being young and strong, Liu Feng is now in his early twenties, how can a real young and strong person be afraid of a half-old man?

Ding Yuan was even more angry when he saw that Liu Feng's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. He doesn't feel like he's "old and frail." Although he has not personally fought for life and death for many years, he is still confident that he can easily take down Liu Feng.

The two just looked at each other, without a word of nonsense, and rushed forward almost at the same time.
