As for the fate of the two ruffians, Hu Ye didn't care, since they touched Zhu Di's brow, the fate must not be much better. Hu Ye is very concerned about this Yongpingwei, and the son of Zhenfu collects the protection fees of the common people, and comes out of thousands of households to collect the protection fees of these small bosses. In the past, Zhu Di didn't know it, but now he has a Beiping Terracotta Division, and it is estimated that Yongpingwei can stand it.

Lao Qian is really a foodie, and after devouring two bowls of noodles, he shamelessly asked for a third bowl of noodles.

"Get out, I can't afford to support you." Watching Lao Qian put the noodles into his mouth, Hu Ye kicked Lao Qian and said viciously. Now that he has dozens of taels of silver on him, if he has any financial resources, sooner or later he will be eaten poor by this foodie.

"Hehe, the young master has made such a meritorious contribution to His Royal Highness King Yan this time, and the reward is naturally indispensable. When the time comes, is the young master still afraid that I will eat a few more bowls of noodles? Lao Qian said while eating, greasy and spraying, Hu Ye had to hide back, for fear of falling into this guy's trick.

"You pay for grandma's meal, Lao Tzu still has a large family to support, and I can't afford you as a foodie." Hu Ye hurriedly wiped off the grease on his body and yelled at Lao Qian.

"What is this little brother, you have helped me so much, how can I take your money. So this meal, I invited, and the big guys don't give money, otherwise they will look down on me Wang Lao Wu. Just when Hu Ye scolded Lao Qian, Wang Lao Wu walked up, bowed to Zhang Yu and the others, and then said to Hu Ye.

"That's a good feeling, I'll eat another bowl." Lao Qian smiled when he heard this, and before he finished eating the bowl, he went to make noodles by himself.

Hu Ye felt that his face had been lost by the old money, why did he agree to this second goods in the first place, I don't know how many times he will lose face in the future.

It's getting late, and it's almost time for the stalls to close, so there aren't many diners coming to eat noodles at this time. Wang Lao Wu finally took a moment of leisure, asked his son to collect the dishes in the house, and brought himself a stool to the table and sat up.

"Lao Wang, did this kind of person come to your stall to collect protection money before?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Yes, but the fee is small, only a few hundred dollars." Wang Lao Wu said.

"Oh, Lao Wang, you should have told me earlier. If I had said it, I would have broken their legs so that they would dare to be arrogant. ”

Lao Qian brought another bowl of noodles and said while eating.

"Eat your noodles, and no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak." Hu Ye kicked Lao Qian again, but Lao Qian still didn't move, and Hu Ye should have tickled him.

"A few hundred? Isn't that much? You only sell a bowl of noodles for 5 yuan, and you used to sell dozens of bowls a day, and they charge you more than 100 bowls of noodles, do you still say that it is less? Did you leave the barracks and you became cowardly? Zhang Yu was very annoyed, why were his subordinates so cowardly? According to his temper, he will directly break his leg when he encounters this kind of protection money.

"Your Excellency, you don't know. If I didn't just take the two ruffians out of my mind, a few punches would have taken them out. They are not ordinary scoundrels, they all have people behind them. ”

"Young Master Fu also heard it just now, their backstage is a thousand households. But that's only half right, their real backstage is the Beiping Dusi. So in the past, they came to collect protection money, and I was all to spare money and avoid disasters. Otherwise, they would have charged me with something, and my son would have been an orphan. Wang Lao Wu said helplessly.

"Beiping Dusi? No wonder they are so arrogant, even if they are sentenced to punishment and probation, they have to give them some face. But now they are going to clamp their tails and be people, and His Royal Highness King Yan has made up his mind to rectify the law and order in Beiping. Presumably, this thousand households will become their scapegoats. Zhang Yu analyzed.

Such an indiscriminate collection of protection money will definitely be reported by the people to the procurator. If it is an ordinary thousand households, it will not be afraid according to the inspection. However, if the commander of the military affairs of a province comes forward, presumably the envoy will have to turn a blind eye. It will lead these officials to unscrupulously instruct the ruffians, and even let their subordinates pretend to be the ruffians to collect protection money.

Listening to Wang Lao Wu say this, Hu Ye had a deeper understanding of the corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty. I used to think that it was some middle-level officials like thousands of households who would take risks to do these things, but I didn't expect that even the commanders and envoys would participate.

What he didn't expect was that under the circumstance that Zhu Yuanzhang was wantonly rectifying corruption, these people would dare to be so blatant. But after thinking about it, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't control it. In addition, Zhu Di has been fighting against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty all year round, and he doesn't have much heart to care about them. Therefore, the current Beiping is undoubtedly a greenhouse that breeds corruption.

"Okay, you can do business honestly now, this kind of thing will definitely not happen in the future. Your business is booming now, and you don't have much time to take care of your son, so I think you should find a mother-in-law. Help you take care of the stall, take your son, and that's how life goes. Zhang Yu didn't talk about any major matters with Wang Lao Wu, and these little people don't need to worry about this kind of thing.

"That's right, Uncle Wang, now that your business is good, it's time to find a wife. The dog is also so old, and he has reached the age of studying, and it is not a way for you to drag him on the stall like this. I think you should just let the dog come to my house to read with you, my younger brothers and sisters have also reached the age of studying, and they just need a scholar. Zhang Fu also persuaded this Wang Lao Wu.

"Yes, I think the dog is rich and noble, so he shouldn't stay in this stall." Originally, Hu Ye wanted to say that knowledge changes fate, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words, and he would definitely be despised by these people when he said that sentence.

Wang Lao Wu listened to it, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He turned his head and shouted at the dog, "Dog, come here." ”

The dog listened to his father's shout, quickly put the dirty bowl in his hand on the table, wiped the greasy in his hand, ran to Wang Lao Wu quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, what do you call me?" ”

"Get on your knees!" Wang Lao Wu roared loudly.

The dog listened to his father very much, and knelt down without saying a word.

"Dogs, you have to remember them, they are all your benefactors." Wang Lao Wu pointed Zhang Yu and the others around, and said to the dog in a loud voice.

"You go and pack up your things now, and follow your Uncle Zhang to his house as a scholar. You will not be allowed to come back without his permission. I don't hear it. ”

"No, I don't want to leave Daddy, I still have to wash the dishes for you, you can't clean it up alone." With tears in his eyes, the dog shook his head in disagreement.

Seeing this, Hu Ye's heart was also sour, what happened to this dog and Yueyue's acquaintance. They all grew up at such a young age, and I don't know how many such children in the world are still helping their parents when they reach the age of studying. Maybe they won't be able to realize what it means to have Yan Ruyu in the book.

"Bastard, can't Lao Tzu clean it up? In the past, I asked you to put away the bowl for me because you were lazy, but now your Uncle Zhang asked you to be a scholar, you are a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation. If you dare to say half a word again, see that I don't break your legs. Wang Lao Wu said viciously.

The dog wiped away his tears very aggrievedly, glanced at the people on the table, and then went into the house to clean up.

There is filial piety under the stick, Hu Ye thinks this sentence is reasonable. So he didn't say anything about Wang Laowu's method of educating his son, and it was obvious that Zhang Yu and they also agreed with this method. It is conceivable that most of Zhang Fu's body was beaten by Zhang Yu with a stick.

Look at the love of those parents for their children in later generations, which has completely evolved into doting. Some have never been beaten or scolded since they were young. So much so that when he later entered the society and encountered a little setback, he had to look for death and life. I don't have the ability to bear it at all, it's really a small flower that can't stand the wind and rain.

So Hu Ye decided that if he had a child in the Ming Dynasty, he must not be overly pampered, and he should still fight.

As soon as Hu Ye made his decision, the dog packed up his things and came out. Just a simple package with a maximum of two changes of clothes in it.

"Daddy, I'm leaving." The dog said to Wang Lao Wu, although there was reluctance in his words, but he was already like two people with the dog just now.

Wang Lao Wu turned around and wiped a handful of tears, which was regarded as a reply to the dog.

"Lao Wang, don't worry, I will take care of the dog for you. You just have to take care of your stall, but we're still going to eat noodles. Zhang Yu walked over and patted Wang Lao Wu on the shoulder, and said loudly.

Wang Lao Wu is not sad now, he is happy. Dogs can enter Zhang's mansion, which is much more promising than in this stall. He didn't want the dog to grow up to inherit his stall, and then he would have no chance to get ahead in his life.

"Let's go, the dog will go to my house, and I'll let your brother Hu Ye play tricks on you." Zhang Fu stood up, pulled the dog, walked out of the stall step by step, and slowly disappeared into the night sky.
