Chapter 83

For more than ten days, the streets have been quieter, Qiu Wu was captured by Zhengnanfang Jinyiwei, and after the interrogation of the Fusi of Beizhen, he has been transferred to the Criminal Department for prison and sentence, which is estimated to be a dead end, this incident shocked all the ruffians under the jurisdiction of Zhengnanfang; In the past few days, the street market in the jurisdiction of Zhengnanfang has been peaceful, and there are many fewer guys walking on the street with open chests and abdomen and slanted eyes, and the legendary female overlord has not come to find Song Nan's bad luck.

Since people don't come to make trouble, Song Nan naturally can't ask for it, 'Yipin Duck' has been on the right track for a few days after it opened, and the business is getting more and more prosperous.

Song Nan began to tidy up the market, and the ruffians in Zhengdongfang were eliminated, and the gangsters on the street did not dare to show their faces or become a climate, so Song Nan decided to start implementing his own plan from Zhengdongfang.

The first is to clean up the piles of garbage on the street, originally the Five Cities Terracotta Division hired a special person to sweep the street and clean up the garbage on the street, but the consciousness of the people is too poor, littering has become a habit, the dead corners on both sides of the street and the alley are full of piles of mosquitoes and flies flying and smelling garbage heaps, more than a dozen people hired to clean up are not busy at all, so the accumulation is more and more, almost a disaster.

Song Nan concentrated manpower, persuaded door-to-door in Zhengdongfang, and personally led people to clean up the garbage on the street; It was the first time that hundreds of captains of the brocade guards were carrying garbage with shovels and baskets, and at first everyone was still wait-and-see, but soon someone joined in to help, and the people were also suffering from the stench and mosquitoes, and naturally they also wanted the streets to be cleaner.

After three days of busy work, more than a dozen ox carts hired pulled dozens of times before the garbage heaps were all transported out of the city and dumped, after a rainstorm, the streets were washed clean by the rain, and the smooth bluestone slabs were shiny and recognizable, walking on the streets, Song Nan's mood was a lot more comfortable.

The next step was to desilt and repair collapsed drainage ditches, set up dedicated garbage dumping points, and put up notices along the streets to prevent people from littering and prevent recurrence.

Most of the people are willing to abide by the rules, but there are always people who take advantage of the convenience of the dark night, but they are unwilling to abide by the rules set by Song Nan, Song Nan had to arrange people to secretly inspect, and caught dozens of people violating the notice in one night, Song Nan was not polite, and ordered his subordinates to escort these guys to swim the street, this kind of mental humiliation has a very good effect, so far, the phenomenon of littering has greatly improved.

In order to consolidate the results, Song Nan launched a propaganda offensive, wrote hundreds of slogans and pasted them on the streets of the downtown area, what 'Zhengdongfang is my home, clean and clean depends on everyone', what 'littering harms others and yourself, and everyone is responsible for the return of garbage', in short, there are many patterns, the language is easy to understand, and it has become a talking point in the tea shop.

After nearly half a month of hard work, Zhengdongfang has changed from a dirty and messy neighborhood to a clean and tidy place, and the people and officials from other places passed by the market here, and they were all amazed, and the people of Zhengdongfang also felt that they had a bright face.

Song Nan felt that there were still many places that needed to be rectified, such as the indiscriminate construction of dense houses in the alleys, the hidden danger of fire in places where the waterwheel did not reach, etc., according to the standard in his heart, Zhengdongfang was still far away, but he could not carry out the next step.

Limited manpower at hand is one of them, no one allocates funds is the second, the authority to demolish illegal buildings does not belong to Jinyiwei is the third, his duty is actually the most important is the responsibility of law and order in the Fang District, because of the actions of Zhengdongfang, someone has warned him not to do his job.

Song Nan decided to put an end to the affairs of Zhengdongfang, and began to rectify the two major jurisdictions of Zhengnanfang and Zhengxifang.

Song Nan secretly found out the bottom, the street boss in Zhengxifang is called Yan San, it is said that he has some kung fu, known as 'Yan Shuangying', there are more than 30 ruffians under his command, secretly doing some usury and closing fees, but he is low-key, not too ostentatious in the market, and the harassment of the people is not obvious, as long as the plate fee is given, he will never harass the people for no reason.

And Ma Degang, the ruffian head of Zhengnanfang, was much more arrogant, and there were more than 40 ruffians gathered under this person, and they often appeared in the market, beating and scolding the people, and robbing property a lot; There have been several armed fights with Qiu Wu for turf, and after Qiu Wu was arrested, this guy was honest for a few days, but in recent days, he has relapsed into his old ways, and he has begun to swagger again with his bare head and lead people on the street; It is said that he also put down his words to meet Song Nan for a while, saying that Qiu Wu was a wreck, and he was caught by a small hundred households, and he deserved to be unlucky.

Song Nan naturally wants to take this arrogant Ma Degang first, Song Nan's temper is whoever is coaxed by the cowhide will move first, there is a precedent for capturing Qiu Wu, Song Nan thinks that the so-called backers behind these people are all nonsense, just to release the wind to scare people, the people of the British government will get involved with the hooligans, this is an unreliable thing, let alone a pampered county lord.

Just when Song Nan was preparing to take action against Ma Degang and his gang of ruffians, Ma Degang jumped out and caused trouble.

One morning in early August, Song Nan was patrolling the streets and alleys with more than a dozen of his brothers, and saw many people running from the street in front of them in a panic, looking back as if they had seen a ghost.

Song Nan felt strange and asked Li Daniu to go up and grab a common man to ask what was going on, and the people said in a panic: "Master Jun, someone has died!" A group of people in front of him smashed in Xu Ji, and the onlookers next to him were also injured several times, and the shopkeeper Xu was afraid that he would be killed, and he was bloody. ”

Song Nan hurriedly rushed over with people, and saw a large group of people in front of a shop from a distance, and there was a faint sound of scolding.

Song Nan gave an order, and the banners were unsheathed, and while running to the scene, they shouted loudly: "Jinyi Weiti is riding here, who is making trouble ahead?" ”

Dozens of people at the door of the shop hula scattered, and slowly walked out of the shop with a big bald head shaking a fan and wearing a long robe, seeing the menacing appearance of the flag school, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly leaned over and whispered a few words in the ear of a short-shirted man beside him, and the man turned around and ran away.

"What's going on?" Song Nan stepped forward and asked.

"Master Jun, it's nothing, I'm waiting to talk to Shopkeeper Xu about something." The bald head laughed.

"Who are you?"

"Villain Ma Degang, the military master is from that yamen?"

"You're Ma Degang?" Song Nan said quietly: "I, Song Nan, am a hundred households in the Jinyi Guard Yamen in Zhengnanfang. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Song Baihu, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the famous Song Baihu, why don't you say hello to Song Baihu? One by one does not understand the rules. Ma Degang shouted at the dozens of ruffians around him.

"Song Baihu is good!" The ruffians said in unison.

Song Nan frowned and made a look, Li Daniu strode into the shop, pulled out a shopkeeper with blood on his head, followed by three guys with blue noses and swollen faces.

"Hundreds of households, the shop is a mess that has been smashed, this person is Xu Ji's shopkeeper, and those three are guys."

Song Nan nodded, stepped forward to check the injury of the shopkeeper Xu, and found that it was only two external injuries on the forehead, and a lot of blood was shed to look ugly, so he asked, "Are you the shopkeeper here?" ”

The shopkeeper said in a trembling voice: "The villain Xu Fu is the shopkeeper here. ”

Song Nan said: "What did these people do to you? ”

Xu Fu moved his lips, Ma Degang snorted coldly, Xu Fu hurriedly said: "Returning to the military master, I didn't do anything, I accidentally knocked down the shelf and smashed my head......"

Song Nan frowned and said, "Knocked down the shelves? Don't be afraid, we are Zhengnanfang Jinyi Guard Yamen Tiqi, if someone is unfavorable to you, you can tell the truth, we will make decisions for you. ”

Xu Fu peeked at Ma Degang, waved his hand and said, "No one is unfavorable to us, it is true that we accidentally knocked over the shelves." ”

Song Nan turned his head and asked the three guys, "Is that so?" ”

The three guys nodded again and again and said in a low voice, "Yes...... Be. ”

Song Nan sighed and said: "You people, you deserve to be bullied by these ruffians and hooligans, you open your eyes and talk nonsense, and you don't dare to sue the official if something happens, so how can I help you?" ”

Ma Degang stopped doing it and shouted: "Song Baihu, you have a thorn in your words, who is the hooligan ruffian?" We are all serious people, who usually abide by the law and are honest and duty-abiding, how did we become hooligans and ruffians in your mouth? Don't you give us a way to live? ”

Song Nan said coldly: "Did I name and say that you are a ruffian?" What is your heart empty? What are you guys doing here? Talking about things? What are you talking about? ”

Ma Degang said: "Let's buy something, and we are discussing the price with the shopkeeper, what's the matter?" Dozens of us are not allowed to go to the street to buy things together? Which of the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that you are not allowed to bring people with you when you buy things? ”

Song Nan said: "I won't talk to you, I warn you, don't make trouble in my jurisdiction, otherwise Qiu Wu will be an example." ”

Ma Degang patted his chest and opened his eyes wide and said: "I'm scared of the villain, Song Baihu is so powerful, by the way, Qiu Wu was planted in your hands, then you have to be careful, those brothers of his are eager to smash your black bricks." ”

Song Nan shouted: "Am I afraid of the hooligans and ruffians?" If they don't come to me, I'll look for them. ”

Ma Degang raised his big finger and said: "Song Baihu is so powerful, I almost forgot, Song Baihu Wu can capture Qiu Wu, Wen can sweep the garbage, I heard that you guys have been sweeping the garbage in Zhengdongfang for more than ten days, and the streets are clean and slippery, it seems that the Jinyi guards of the Zhengnanfang Yamen are full of these things." By the way, there are two piles of cow dung in front of my house, when will Song Baihu take his brothers to help me clean up? ”

The ruffians in the crowd leaned back and forth, and some said: "My thatched pit is full of feces and urine, and Song Baihu also went to help dig the manure pit." ”

"There are also two pieces of shit in my yard, and I also ask the brothers in Zhengnanfang to do me a favor, hahaha."

“……”

The flag school's face turned pale, and they all shouted: "Presumptuous." ”

"Shut up."

Song Nan didn't expect that in the hearts of this group of ruffians, he had no fear of himself and others at all, and he didn't know if it was because the status of the Jinyi Guards in the capital was not high, or because the 700th household did some street chores all day long, and he fell into his own prestige. But in any case, if you let this group of arrogant guys go away safely today, you won't have to mix with it again in the future.

"Enough laughing?" Song Nan said coldly: "Come on, take them all, I suspect that Ma Degang and others are suspected of beating merchants on the street, and they will all be brought back to the yamen." ”

Ma Degang's face changed and he shouted: "Song Baihu, you came to arrest people without evidence? Is there a royal law in the Ming Dynasty? Didn't you hear that this shopkeeper Xu claimed to have knocked over the shelves and broken his head? ”

Song Nan sneered: "What I said is, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, and I suspect that you threatened the witness to make a false confession and take it away." ”

Ma Degang shouted: "You can arrest people based on suspicion? What a joke. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten your identity?" I'm waiting for the brocade clothes to ride the guard, and you can take someone when you hear about it, and it has nothing to do with taking it wrong, if you don't accept it, you can go to the complaint; But that's for later, for now, you have to go with the master first. ”

Ma Degang jumped behind him and shouted, "You dare." With that, dozens of ruffians pressed their hands on their waists, apparently hiding a guy inside.

Song Nan shouted: "Brothers, if someone resists arrest and resists, do you know what to do?" ”

All the flag schools shouted in unison: "Those who resist arrest and resist will be hacked to death." ”

Song Nan said: "Yes, the embroidered spring knife is not a burning stick, on." ”

The flags stepped forward, the blades in their hands shining in the sun, and they forced towards Ma Degang and the others.

Ma Degang didn't expect Song Nan to be so difficult, neither was he resisting, nor was he arrested, so he was helpless for a while; At this moment, the horse's hooves at the end of the street behind rang sharply, and a coquettish voice came from afar: "Who is so loud?" Dare to take people without evidence? Aunt and grandmother came to judge the judges. ”

Ma Degang turned his head to look at it, and his heart was happy: the aunt and grandmother who saved his life had finally arrived.
