Jiang Ayan: "It's up to you?" ”

Yang Fang: "Li Zengzhi himself is in trouble, do you think this time, he still dares to protect you?" ”

"I'll talk about it if you can catch me." Jiang Ayan sneered.

The atmosphere became scorching for a moment......

……

Lin Liangyou: "Kunshan, is there any news?" ”

Zhang Ben: "According to the intelligence, Jiang Ayan had returned to Nanjing two days ago, saying that he had been dormant in the governor's mansion and had never seen him go out. ”

"The ability of these captains needs to be improved!" Lin Yan lobbied, "There is more than one gate in the Governor's Mansion. ”

"I have orders to keep an eye on the side door and the back door." Zhang Ben said.

"Big brother, your business ability as a hundred household officials also needs to be improved!" Lin Liang lobbied, "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, the secret door of the Governor's Mansion, have you found someone to investigate?" ”

Zhang Ben said: "That's really not, it's okay who will go to check the governor's mansion!" Isn't that deliberately uncomfortable? ”

Lin Liangyou asked, "Now, where should we go to find it?" ”

"I'm not good at business." Zhang Ben said, "You are capable, where you say to find it, I will follow you to find it." ”

"Damn! In the end, you are a hundred, I am a hundred? ”

"If I hadn't been pulled into the water by you, I, a hundred households, would have been able to lie down at home and sleep!" Zhang Ben said, "Who wants to run around on a cold day and come out to drink the wind?" ”

"Yang Fang is your third brother! Blood is thicker than water! ”

"It's not like it's your third brother."

"You're my big brother! O half-brother who broke bones and tendons! ”

"I didn't be a big brother for years...... Big brother, now you are my own big brother. Zhang Ben said, "Big brother, hurry up and use your super brain to think about where to find our half-brother!" ”

Lin Liangyou pondered for a long time, staring at the front, and said slowly but firmly: "Go buy a number." ”

In the jargon, other people's private affairs are collectively referred to as "starting numbers";

The City Fox Society Rat is an important source of information for Jinyiwei black-clothed Tiqi Lux and red-clothed Tiqi Lieutenant and others. After these hooligans find out about other people's "shady affairs", they will secretly report to Tiqi.

Jinyi Satellite TV gave them a bounty because of the size of the matter. The "bounty" here is called the "buy number".

After understanding the situation, the Jinyi Guard, who is usually the chief Xiaoqi, will lead the captain to attack the suspect suddenly, and if the suspect's attitude and bribe money satisfy them, he will usually let him go, and then swagger away; If they are not satisfied, they will use lynching, which is called "dry wine" in the jargon, also called "moving the wine"; If the other party can bring out a bigger case and involve a more important task, they will generally be given a considerable bounty and they will not be held responsible.

This "fine tradition" has been carried forward until the establishment of the East Factory, and then carried forward by it.

Different from the era dominated by Jinyiwei, the relationship between Dongchang and Chenghu Society rats is closer, and these hooligans rely on Dongchang to openly extort and declare personal vendettas; And the "dry press wine" and "moving the wine" of the East Factory are also more cruel, far worse than the edict.

……

"Who are you looking for to buy the numbers?" Zhang Ben asked. There is more than one fox and more than one mouse, and there must be a goal to find the city fox club rat, right?

"Just follow me!"

Lin Liangyou took Zhang Ben and walked around the streets and alleys of Nanjing, and finally stopped at the Xiaoyao Building north of the Huaiqing River.

This Xiaoyao Building is not called Xiaoyao Building, but Xiaoyao Prison.

It is rumored that this free prison was built by Emperor Taizu himself in the early Ming Dynasty, and all those who did not do their jobs and chased the end, games, and games were imprisoned in this prison.

More than 40 years have passed, and the prison has gradually become a free building. It was originally a prison built to eliminate the disadvantages of the people's laziness, but now it has become the craziest building for the breeding of laziness.

Sometimes things are just so contradictory and ironic.

"What are you doing here? The life and death of the third brother is uncertain, and you are still interested in gambling? Zhang Ben looked at Lin Liangyou, "Besides, if you want to play two tricks, you said it earlier!" I didn't bring any money. ”

"Big brother, have you ever heard of a person named Jiang Hua?" Lin Liangyou asked rhetorically.

"Jiang Hua? It's a funny name. Zhang Ben said, shaking his head, "I haven't heard of it." I don't know if you're 'speaking', is he official? ”

Lin Lianyou: "......"

Jiang Hua is a thief, specializing in walking through the wall at night to steal from the wall, and occasionally squeezes into the crowd during the day to cut the sleeves of his shirt and belongings, but more often than not, he comes to this Xiaoyao Building with the stolen money. If you lose it, you steal again.

For people like him, Jingshi has a special title, not a thief but "Xiaoli", and cutting people's clothes is "cutting locks", which is similar to the "cutting path" of blocking the road and robbing, of course, this kind of person has a unified title - "broken household".

And Jiang Hua's broken household has a more important identity, that is, he is Jiang Ayan's fellow villager!

In the Ming generation, the power of the fellow villagers is very strong, unlike the current "fellow villager with a shot in the back", at that time, it was really a fellow villager who saw his fellow countryman with tears in his eyes.

For example, the Huaixi Group under Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is the largest hometown association headed by Li Shanchang; The opponent of the Huaixi Group is the Zhedong Group headed by Liu Ji.

Jiang Hua did follow Jiang Ayan in the Governor's Mansion for a period of time at the beginning, but this person couldn't control his hands and feet, and from time to time he took a jade belt and a gold cup or something.

Governor Li Zengzhi was naturally unhappy, but thinking about this kind of egg color, maybe sooner or later it would come in handy, and he didn't pursue the embarrassment much, so Jiang Ayan found a reason to send him out of the house.

Jiang Hua, who had no iron rice bowl, had to return to his old business, taking advantage of the night to enter the house to get people's money, relying on the support of Jiang Ayan, a fellow countryman, who was even bolder.

So this man is not only a thief, but also a thief of flowers.

……

The above information is not in the official history, and I am not sure if there is a wild history. Anyway, Lin Liangyou was so impressed by the name Jiang Hua that in the past, whenever the school "invited a certain expert and professor to speak on stage", the first name that came to his mind was this name.

I just don't remember if it's a novel or a romance. The only thing that is certain is that this Jiang painting is indeed Jiang Ayan's fellow countryman.

In any case, there is no other way but to try your luck.

After all, it is normal for this kind of little person to not be able to get on the stage of official history.

……

The two stood at the head of the brightly lit Xiaoyao Building, habitually pulled out the knife out of the sheath and put the knife into the sheath, tried to do it in one go, and stepped into the Xiaoyao Building.

The building is full of people, there are people who throw dice, watch cards, play dominoes and play double land, there are also people who throw money and throw pots, and even there are cockfights, dogs and crickets, it is really lively.

The person who watched the trick looked like a mother, all of them were roe deer, or full of meat, in short, they looked very difficult to mess with, or you owe him a lot of money - it is very in line with the image of "a ruined and bankrupt scoundrel" in the novel.

"Big brother, you guard the door, don't let that Jiang Hua slip away, I'll go in and find someone." Lin Liangyou said to Zhang Ben.

"Gatekeeper? I'm not a goalkeeper! Besides, this Xiaoyao Building is not without an authentic secret door. Although Zhang Ben was a little reluctant, he still turned his head and went to the door.

Seeing the Jinyi guard entering, the gamblers in the room were full of indifference, and they looked up without fear, and even showed a fierce look in their eyes, just like the guard dog grinning when he met a stranger.

Lin Liangyou is the first time to see the bottom people who are not afraid of Jinyiwei, it seems that there are many outlaws among them, the so-called barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, a group of gamblers, dare to gamble on everything, including their own lives, what else can they care about and what is terrible?

I only care about the joy of the dazzling money in front of me, and I am only afraid of the excitement of touching the cards and the gap between the opening cards!

"Big brother, I think you have a point, maybe there is a secret door, this door, there is no point in guarding it." In this smoky place, Lin Lanyou suddenly became a little nervous, and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Ben, "Forget it, let's go in together!" ”
