Chapter 192 Collecting the Fat and Cream of the People

Song Che was in charge of greeting.

Jiang Yun is in charge of cutting the meat.

Liao Heng is responsible for collecting money.

When she was too busy, Yun Niang also came to help, her knife work was really not bad, and the guests would never pay an extra one or two for a catty.

Just when business is booming -

"It's all scattered for me, scattered! Who told you to set up a stall in the street? ”

Seven or eight ruffian-looking men rushed into the crowd, pushing and beating when they met people, beating and scolding.

The ruffian who took the lead, swollen with the right half of his face, didn't know if he didn't recognize it carefully, he was Wang Er who was slapped in the face at the Huaxi Tavern yesterday.

Wang Er has a lot of prestige in the county", the people stared at him and dared not speak for a while.

Song Che picked up the people on the ground and said coldly: "If you want to collect the stall fee, you are allowed some silver taels, why bother pushing people?" ”

Wang Er stroked his swollen cheeks, hissed in pain, and hated Song Che and the others: "Today's matter can't be finished in public or private!" This money must be demanded! This stall must also be confiscated! ”

"Oh?" Song Che sneered: "You, where is the public and where is the private?" ”

Wang Er said loudly: "The public is, you are strangers of unknown origin, and people who are not from this county set up stalls in this county, this is called illegal profit, and all income and property should be confiscated; As for private? ”

He pointed to the bruises on his face and glared at Jiang Yun: "You shouldn't have forgotten what you did to me yesterday at the Huaxi Tavern!" Yesterday I was unprepared for a sneak attack by you, and today I will pay back tenfold-"

"Smack!"

But before he finished speaking, Jiang Yun flashed forward, slapped him with his forehand, and slapped him out again, and the ruffians who were traveling with him were stunned.

Jiang Yun wiped his hands with a cloth, and glanced at the ruffians with murderous eyes, "Within three sounds, carry away this pickled skin, otherwise you will screw off your heads and kick them as balls...... One! ”

"Two!"

"This good man can even kill a tiger, let alone you, hurry up and get out!"

"That's right, these three are clearly heroes who eliminate harm for the people, but they have been reversed by you into black and white with unknown origins, you still have to be shameless!"

The people denounced it one after another.

The ruffian became the target of everyone, and was intimidated by Jiang Yun's evil spirit, so he could only raise his head and faint, and Wang Er, whose teeth were broken all over the ground, ran away.

punished the market bullies, and earned a wave of praise, but in less than half an hour, nearly 900 catties of tiger meat were all sold out.

The large amount of broken silver is more than a thousand taels, not counting the value of the tiger whip and tiger skin.

Yun Niang's wine was also sold, and the income was seventeen or eighteen taels, more than twice as much as originally expected.

"Today, the name of 'Tiger Wine' has sounded, the proprietress should take advantage of the victory to pursue it, set up a signboard for it, and the passenger flow of Huaxi Tavern will definitely make this wine go to a higher level."

Song Che gave another fish.

Yun Niang's eyes looked at Song Che, and there was obviously a subtle change, "I really don't know how to thank you today, or ...... Shall I treat you to lunch? ”

Song Che said with a smile: "If it weren't for the full meal of the proprietress yesterday, we wouldn't have been able to kill these two tigers." Today's meat sales have yielded a lot of profits, and we should have invited you. ”

Liao Heng also said: "We are new to this city, we are not familiar with the place, and we have to be led by the proprietor, we must be the most high-end restaurant, and we have a big meal before school."

Yun Niang was reserved for a moment, but she had to be gracious, handing over the monthly payment to the guy to pay off, and staying to help clean up the stall.

"Bang bang!"

Suddenly, there were several gongs outside the street, which attracted the attention of the people on the street.

Seeing a servant on horseback, he announced while striking the gong: "Fellow villagers and elders of Shima County, please go to Dongshi quickly, the county lord has something important to announce the whole city!" ”

"What's the matter?" One of the people asked.

But the official replied: "What's the matter, you will know when you go, in short, it is for the benefit of the people of the county, I hope to run and tell you!" ”

Yun Niang stood on tiptoe, stretched her pink neck, and looked at that head.

"What? The proprietress also wants to join in the fun? Song Che said with a smile.

Yun Niang said: "Since the government has issued an order, there must be something important to announce, although I am not from the city, my household registration also falls in Shima County." ”

If he is not a clean official, how can he do good things?

"Anyway, it's okay, let's go and see the excitement."

A few of them rushed with the people to the east

East leftovers

A half-centenarian in a green official uniform, and four or five richly dressed gentry, stood in the middle of the square at the same time. There is also a big money box in front of the field, and there are young men and girls on the left and right sides of the cash box, the young man is holding a sword, and the girl is holding a floating and sinking hand, all of which are dressed as Taoist priests.

There are more than 1,000 people in Dongshi, and they are all curious about what to announce.

The prince of Shima County called Lu Shanguang, and when he saw that the people were almost here, he gestured to Master Huang who was waiting on the side.

The master cleared his throat and stepped forward and shouted:

"Folks, be quiet, there is an important announcement in Shima County today, this is about your life, but you have to prick up your ears and listen-

The haunting of the mass grave in Shimalin made the people of the county panic. In order to calm this trouble, the county master went to the Taoist Temple of Taicang Mountain, and only after three knocks and nine bows did he invite Zhangxian City to go down the mountain!

The immortal master has already divined the hexagram, and the mass grave is full of people who have died, and there is a backlog of resentment, which is difficult to eradicate for a while, so he can only spend a lot of money to rebuild a 'Zhenwu Emperor' Golden Body Temple, and then use the power of the immortal master to do 9981 days to eliminate the demonic barrier;

But to build such a temple, at least three thousand taels of silver are needed, our Shima County is a place, and the finances of the yamen are difficult to support, so today we call the people of the whole town to come here to raise donations, and do our best to kill demons! ”

The people are talking about it, and there are voices about whether to donate or not.

"Zhang Yuanwai donated 1,000 taels of silver!"

"Boss Li donated five hundred taels of silver!"

"Boss Huang donated five hundred taels of silver!"

Those gentry, each called their servants, carried plates of white silver, and threw them into the cash box in front of the masses

Master Huang struck while the iron was hot, and said loudly: "These first few county gentry have helped us out, fellow villagers and elders, a few pennies is not a small amount, and a few dozen taels is not too much, so why not buy peace for yourself?" ”

The common people are not grass on the wall, but when the wind hits, they can only fall on one side. The rich people in the county have all donated, and there is no reason why they should not pay out of their pockets.

"If you are willing to contribute to our county, please line up on the left and donate to the cash box in turn——"

"Wait!"

Liao Heng stopped.

Song Che wanted to pull him back, but it was too late.

This stunned young man hates the most is pretending to be a god and fooling the people. How can he endure it?

Liao Heng squeezed out of the crowd, stopped in front of the cash box, and said to the people: "We passed by the mass grave last night, and we stayed in the mountain temple for one night, and we didn't encounter any demons and monsters at all, but——"

"Oops!"

Song Che hurriedly called out to Liao Heng.

Pretend to be a ghost first, and then donate money to cure ghosts, and when enough money is raised, the gentry's money will be returned, and part of it will be used to build a temple, and the rest of the majority will be divided by a few people.

If this truth is revealed to the people, won't it cut off the financial path of these masters on stage?

Cutting off people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents, when they first arrived in Shima County, even if they crossed the river, they couldn't suppress the head snake.
