"Eh, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"What happened on the docks yesterday?"

"What's going on on the docks again?"

Jiang Han, who was hurrying downstairs with a tray after cleaning up the upstairs private room, heard the word "dock", and his footsteps slowed down.

“…… Xu Dahuai and Huang Youneng of the dock gang had a fight over the matter of collecting protection money. ”

"Oh? That Ma Yi has been the No. 2 person for so many years, and now that Huang San is sick at home, he can't help but come out and jump. The courage is also quite fat, isn't he afraid of Huang San's revenge? ”

"Who's going to win?"

The two tables on the left side of the lobby on the first floor began to discuss.

"Then Ma Yi also has a backer, doesn't he say that he is related to Ma Huaide of the Inspection Division?"

"Ma Huaide? Well, when Lord Shen didn't come before, he wanted to be an inspector in the Jiji camp camp, but who knew that the bamboo basket was empty......

"How can Ma Huaide compare to Chen County Order?"

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense! ”

"I haven't said yet, who won?"

"There was a draw, and then Lu Gongzi went with the archers, and those people fled."

When Jiang Han heard this, his mood after being depressed all morning finally improved a little.

Since Uncle Niu left yesterday, her steamed bun business, which had just started and was forced to be suspended, has become a laughing stock again.

Although, the person who makes fun of her is only Yun Niang for the time being.

However, there are still eight and a half pounds of flour left, and sooner or later his father will find out, and when the time comes......

Her scalp tingled a little when she thought of this.

What's more important is her money, one hundred and twenty wen, and only twenty wen is left......

If she only relies on Uncle Niu to sell steamed buns intermittently and secretly, then when will she be able to return to her roots.

"Not to mention, there has been a lot of chaos on this dock recently! Do you remember? On the day of the fight on Xixia Street, something actually happened on the dock! ”

"Oh? Come and hear it! ”

"Didn't Huang San control a lot of coolies and take over work from him? That day, there was a big man surnamed Xu, who led a group of coolies and took on private work, but Lin Wanli took people to make trouble, and it also affected the merchant's goods......"

"I know that the big man, surnamed Xu Jiyang, is tall and strong, and he is very capable of fighting. A month or two earlier, I led some coolies who couldn't find a job, and took the job privately. He had a relationship with the ruffians of the Yellow Horse Chen Sangang! ”

"Then why wasn't he put in prison by those three ruffians?"

"I guess it's not a big job, those three groups of people are patronizing each other and laughing at each other......"

It turns out that this pier is not monolithic!

Does that mean that there is a hole to drill?

Jiang Han was thinking like this, and the displeased voice of the shopkeeper Wang sounded behind her: "Brother Han, why are you standing here with a plate?" Don't see any guests at the door? ”

"Oh, I'll go!" So saying, she shoved the tray into the hand of the king's shopkeeper and went to the door to greet the guests.

However, although there are a little fewer guests today than the previous two days, the amount of information is very large.

She welcomed the two people, one tall and one short, in their thirties and dressed in cloth clothes, to the table and sat down.

The tall man called out to the king's treasurer.

"Shopkeeper, do you know that the Inspection Department is going to recruit new people?" The tall man asked.

"Well, I've heard of it!"

"A notice has just been posted by the city gate. He said he was going to recruit thirty or forty people! Over 15 years old and under 25 years old, good health and family whiteness can be. ”

"Do you two want to apply?" Shopkeeper Wang asked tentatively.

"That's not it, it's my brother who wants to go."

"It's a good thing to be an archer in Luoxia Town!"

"Who's to say it isn't! Although it is hard, but ......" Speaking of this, the tall man motioned to the shopkeeper to come closer, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, my brother is only fourteen years old, so I heard that you have a deep friendship with the inspector Lord Shen, so I want to ask the elder brother to help me see if I can go through the back door!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did the shopkeeper Wang stammer, but Jiang Han, who was waiting for the order, was also instantly embarrassed.

When did the shopkeeper Wang have a friendship with Lord Shen, and it became a deep friendship?

Rumors are so deadly!

Jiang Han gloated and stood aside without speaking, she just waited to see how the shopkeeper Wang answered!

"Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, I can't help you with this favor!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer!" The man stretched out his palm and gestured, "It's done to give you this number!" ”

"No, no, the two of you misunderstood, it's not appropriate to do this!"

"What's inappropriate, since you have a deep friendship with Lord Shen, this is just a matter of words! My brother is less than fifteen, but he is not a few months away, and he is ......."

The shopkeeper Wang had a bitter face, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said again and again: "No, guest officer, this matter is really not a matter of words!" I really can't help you two! ”

“……”

The tall man stopped talking.

He leaned at the king's shopkeeper, and his face showed anger.

The shopkeeper Wang gave Jiang Han next to him a look, Jiang Han thought that she couldn't see the excitement too obviously, and was about to speak, when the tall man spoke again.

"You, the shopkeeper, won't you brag and say that you have a deep friendship with Lord Shen, right? Otherwise, why is this little thing being pushed back? ”

That said, even if you have a good relationship, it's not a trivial matter to find someone to go through the back door, right?

"The two guest officers, from beginning to end, never said that they had a deep friendship with Lord Shen? It's just that I used to ...... with Lord Shen."

"Sure enough, that Chen Da is not wrong, this Wang shopkeeper is deceiving people, and he has no friendship with that Lord Shen at all!" The short man, who had not spoken, suddenly said in a loud voice, got up and tugged at the tall man's arm, "Don't waste time here! ”

The two of them didn't sit hot in the buttocks, and they didn't drink the tea, so they went out directly.

The hateful thing is that the tall man went out with an angry face, and dragged a few guests who were about to enter the door, and loudly warned people not to come in and waste time......

-----------------

In the inspection department, in Lord Shen's study, several people were also talking.

"Master, Yu Dongshan, Zhao Qingfeng, these six people are good, they are innocent, they are upright, and they can endure hardships, they have been in the inspection department for less than half a year, and they have not been allowed to be reused because they are unwilling to go along with others."

Lord Shen nodded and ordered, "Xiaozhu, these six people will be handed over to you for intensive training." ”

"There are two other ones that I think are pretty good, just the twins." Lu Tong interjected, "Although that brother likes to be a little arrogant, that brother is very shrewd, called Li or something." ”

"Li Weizong, Li Weiqing."

"Together for you, ten days, to see a great change."

"Yes, Master Shen."

"Guangde, it's not me talking about you, you have to replace half of the people at a time, the action is too big, and the newcomer ...... for a while."

"Why do you swap out half?"

"If you don't replace half of them, why are you recruiting forty new people?" Lu Tong asked in surprise.

"It's useful."

"Don't pretend to be a ghost! I heard two days ago on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that the county government can't even afford to support 40 people with the money given to the inspection department every year, and now you are recruiting 40 new ones, where does the money come from? The things that can be paid by the Inspection Department have not yet reached you! ”

"Humph!" Lord Shen snorted and stared at him intently.

"You wouldn't be, you want to ask me, do you want silver?"

"Why not?"

"Nothing! I still have three hundred taels of silver left on me, and my mother said that this is my cost for half a year! You don't have the idea of beating my silver, you have the ability to ask my father to go! ”

"Up to a month or two ......"

"No, not for half a month! You borrowed 200 and said that you could pay it back in three months, but now more than two months have passed, and you haven't even seen a ghost......"

"Add five cents more!"

"Alright then!"

Lu Tong's body, which had already stood up, sat back and simply agreed.

In this way, the interest on the money he lent to Lord Shen became ten, don't do it in vain.
