Chapter 391 - Site Demarcation Meets Intermediaries (Third Update)
In the face of absolute force, the lieutenant gained a place.
Zhu Wentian didn't care about that, took out food and wine from the car, and ate and drank with the chief.
He'd wanted to take it for a long time, but he didn't have time to come and see it.
The more peaceful the place, the more chaotic it is, mainly because someone wants to control it.
"Who are the people living here?" The lieutenant looked around, and the place was large.
During the war, part of the wall was destroyed, and the main buildings inside were not burned.
Now that the imperial city is being repaired, I don't have time to deal with the palace of the previous dynasty, so I will leave it like that for the time being.
During the day, it is lively as a market, including stalls selling various snacks.
At night, when everyone else is gone, a group of people who don't know where to run during the day come to find a place to live.
"People with questionable identities ran out because of the war and have no place of origin.
Some people can't go back to their hometowns even if they want to, everything is ruined there, and their land is occupied.
Others are the same as the other local workers they found, some of them don't even have a guide, and it can be troublesome if they are caught!
The other part belongs to distant relatives in Yingtianfu, who come to see it, but people can't support them.
People who commit an accident outside, hide everywhere, and run here to feel fairly safe.
Then there are the Nanjing locals, they ran here to collect money, and the one just now was, thinking that they could bully outsiders.
There were refugees from the affected areas before, but if the sanatorium could accommodate them, they wouldn't stay here.
There may be other reasons for people to come here, anyway, it's very messy, they go out to find things to do during the day, and come to sleep at night. ”
Zhu Wentian said as he put things on the table and poured wine for the two.
The lieutenant picked up the chicken rack that Han Han gave him before, bit a little and chewed slowly: "Let's stay here at night?" Will they sneak up on us? ”
"Live here to ensure that we will go in, there is a place inside that is occupied by Taoist priests, be a Taoist temple, go to the door of the Taoist temple and set up a tent. Give money to the Taoist temple. ”
Zhu Wentian had planned it in advance, there was no safe place, and he wanted to rest at night.
"I didn't bring any money." Li Chang was worried.
"I didn't bring it either." Zhu Wentian smiled.
"Then how do you give money?"
"We brought a lot of food and gave them something to eat."
"Yes, it's okay to eat, sometimes it's better than money."
"And it's attractive, huh? All right! I'm eating and talking to you. ”
"Someone, is it with the gang that was beaten just now?" The chief said and looked at the man who walked by.
"Don't do it, I'm here to save you, do you know whose people you just hit?"
The man who came was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was wearing patched clothes, but they were not dirty, and his face was upright.
The lieutenant looked at the other party: "What do you want?" Eat something first, talk as you go. ”
"How many things do you have here? I still have a few people. The man's throat moved, looking at the cooked food on the table.
"How many?" The governor also looks at the contents of the car.
"Count me six." The man gestured with his fingers.
"Come on!" Seeing that Han Han didn't stop him, Li Chang agreed to the other party.
"Great!" The man beckoned back.
There were five people who came over there quickly, but they didn't look very old, the small ones felt about seven or eight, and the older ones were twelve or thirteen.
Five people took the package and ran to the place to look at the person who came first.
"Today, we have encountered something good, and some kind people have invited us to eat. Put the package here, and follow me over there to wash your hands. ”
The man beckoned, took the five people to the place next to the flowing mountains and rivers to wash their hands, and shook them back.
The elder gave them a roast chicken, and the eldest head received it, first broke a chicken leg for the youngest child, and then divided it according to the size.
"Drinking?" The lieutenant asked, and he and Hanhan brought a barrel of wine.
"Wine ...... Hey! Thanks a lot! The man took out a bowl and ran to wash it.
The lieutenant poured him a bowl, and he took a sip: "Huh? It's better than usual, come, be careful, don't choke. ”
He handed the bowl to the person next to him, and even the youngest child took a sip.
"The person you just beat is called Er Biao, he is Guan Si's subordinate, and then you came here, this is Shi San's position.
Shi San's people saw that you could fight, so they didn't want to get into trouble.
If Guan Si's people want to take revenge, they can't run to other people's territory, so they can only think of other ways, or wait. ”
This person told the lieutenant and Hanhan about the situation, and told the lieutenant that he was lucky.
"How did you save us?" The lieutenant also thinks it's interesting, this territory can still be divided like this, and if you cross the line, you can't manage it.
"I can't help you beat people, you have nothing to do tonight, and they naturally don't dare to do it during the day.
But in the evening, even if you are here, they will talk to Shi San.
Guan Si, money is small, face is big, if you don't clean you up, who will pay in the future? ”
"That's the reason." The lieutenant nodded.
"I see that you two can work, help you arrange a place to go, you go there, you don't have to pay the money first, and then pay when you earn the money.
It's different from here, it's a house, and this brother has the strength to earn a month's house money after two or three days.
You agree! I'll put you in, you write me an IOU, one of you owes me, fifty, no, thirty! ”
This person has to help arrange accommodation, and the chief sounds a little familiar.
He asked, "What's your surname?" ”
"Don't be expensive, Lian, double name Shisheng, several of us are surnamed Lian, it turned out that in Fujian, we fought and migrated, we have no family, so we get together to beg for a living.
We are now registered in Shangyuan County, Tianfu, and we have a house here. You ......"
The person who asked Lian Shisheng to introduce his situation and asked the lieutenant again.
"It turned out to be little brother Lian, is this wine delicious? Everybody eats, and I'll bring it to you. ”
As he spoke, he went to fetch something again, this time he took a packet of braised beef, took a plate, and poured out the garlic sauce from the small glass pot.
"Come, grab the garlic sauce, I didn't put a lot of salt when I marinated, it was slightly light." The lieutenant greets.
Lian Shisheng: "......"
He reacted suddenly, the other party drank good beer and had meat to eat, now take the beef.
Obviously, people won't go with them to find a house, people have money! That......
"Thanks, huh...... You sleep here at night? "Lian Shisheng didn't mention the previous incident.
"I originally wanted to sleep at the entrance of the temple inside, but now I don't need to. You have a house, why are you here? The lieutenant also found out about the situation and asked the other party by the way.
"Make money! We looked for someone to the place in the south, and the yamen checked it, and found that there was no problem, so we found someone to give us ten wen, ten wen a month.
Find a hundred, a month is consistent. There are a lot of people here, and those who don't have a place of origin are all minor problems, as long as they don't come from outside the country.
Take thirty or fifty yuan at a time from others, and wait for them to earn money and slowly give it to us.
Otherwise, there are only two of us who can work, and the small ones will wear out their bodies. ”
Lian Shisheng said his job, and he ran to pull people at night.
