The winter in the four northwestern provinces of the Great Zhou Dynasty is always a little earlier than that brought by the Central Plains, and it is only November, and the water outside has already begun to freeze.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and people are returning to their homes, gathering around the charcoal stove to grab hot tea, and after a busy year, they begin to enjoy the most leisurely time of the year.

Even in such a deserted season, there are always many places in every city that are lively, such as gambling houses.

Qian Siye is a small leader in the Liangcheng Hall and runs a small underground casino.

The so-called church will be just a loose organization formed by some low-level Jianghu men spontaneously uniting, sitting in the hall for restaurants, gambling houses, and brothls in the city on weekdays, picking up some businessmen who seem to be easy to bully to collect protection fees, and occasionally taking care of the homes and homes of the Gaomen clans, doing some miscellaneous work.

Today, Qian Siye met an acquaintance in the small gambling house, who was Li Dazhuang, a student of the nursery school.

Li Dazhuang is from the countryside, although he is a serious student of the school, but he has no fame, and the locals, including Qian Siye, actually look down on him.

Listen to the name of that soil, Li Dazhuang, hum!

Li Dazhuang, who came to Liangcheng for three years, did not study hard here as his family wished, but was quickly confused by the prosperity of the city, forgot his original intention, haunted gambling houses and restaurants all day long, and the money brought by the family ran out, so he was suspended in the church, and became a knife and pen gentleman, helping the brothers on the road to deal with some lawsuits on weekdays.

And when Li Dazhuang really turned over, it was at the end of last year, the imperial court set up a new political department in Liangcheng, Li Dazhuang's original teacher, Yang Yuchang, the teaching department of the nursery school, recommended himself out of the mountain and served as the operation of the Liangcheng political division.

A few days ago, Li Dazhuang hurriedly returned to his hometown, and when he left, he was quite excited, saying that he was going to gamble big, and on the eve of leaving, he also invited Qian Siye to drink a meal of flower wine.

Originally, Qian Siye thought it was a big deal, but later Li Dazhuang carefully explained his intentions, and it became clear that he was just going to the countryside to bully a few dealers, so he put his mind at ease and talked about the details and price of the specific plan.

After the business was over, Qian Siye, as usual, left Li Dazhuang to eat and drink, Li Dazhuang, who did not refuse to come on weekdays, actually refused today, and left the gambling house in a hurry, it seems that the direction should be out of the city.

"Mud legs are mud legs, what if you know a few bird words, you can panic like this when dealing with a few croppers!" Qian Siye laughed at Li Dazhuang's distant back, turned back and waved to the younger brother beside him, "Go, he doesn't know each other, let's drink!"

Everyone applauded and hugged Qian Siye into the house.

A few days later, outside the originally peaceful village, a group of fierce people with sticks came in, shouting, banging vigorously on the plaque at the entrance of the village, and shouting and scolding.

The people in the village didn't know what was going on, they ran out of the house in a panic and gathered together, seeing the green leather door at the entrance of the village, these people who have been cultivating the fields all their lives are a little afraid, but they dare not step forward, only the village chief and Li Dazhuang tacitly glanced at each other.

The former is an old god, and the latter has a complicated expression.

"Who is in charge of affairs in your village?" Qian Siye held a handful of melon seeds in his hand and smiled very hideously.

The village chief walked out of the crowd slowly and said, "Old decay, I don't know what you heroes are doing when you come to this village?"

Qian Siye didn't answer, he slapped him hard, slapped the village chief like a spinning top, and fell to the ground in a circle!

The villagers were in an uproar, but none of them dared to step forward to help, and the village chief himself was blinded, compared to the pain on his face, he was more puzzled that in the original design, there was no such thing!

It's okay, the more bitter it is now, the more capital it will be when the lawsuit is filed in the future! The village chief gritted his teeth, and thought with hatred in his heart, just such a slap, at least he had to exchange for more shops in good locations in Liangcheng!

The village chief fell to the ground and immediately howled: "How can this strong man beat people for no reason!

Qian Siye spit out the shell of the melon seeds in one gulp, and said with a cruel smile: "Just beat you up, what can you do? Let me ask you, do you know a farmer official named Li Minghao?"

The village chief smiled secretly in his heart, and his face didn't seem to hurt so much, but he still looked dazed, nodded vigorously and said: "I recognize! I came to the village a few days ago, and I owed each household in our village a penny of silver for opening the fields, and later the passing students helped him make up for it, and you heroes are his friends?"

The onlookers were already at a loss for the original interception of the imperial court officials, but when they saw a few big men at this moment, their faces turned pale and they were as silent as cicadas.

"It's good to know," Qian Siye said with a sneer, "Let me ask you, did you buy a batch of grain before?"

Although the village chief didn't know what Qingpi agreed, he could only cooperate: "There is a batch, which is the one that everyone in the village raised funds and went out to buy it, which is the lifeblood of farming in the village next year!"

Fourth Master Qian flew up coldly, kicked the village chief in the stomach again, and scolded and said: "Fuck! Since you have enough money to raise funds, why do you take credit from the eldest prince of Li, saying that you will pay in advance with the opening fee first, and each family will have one penny of silver? When the prince came to distribute the opening fee, you pretended not to do such a thing, and instigated these people to detain the court officials, you old boy is greedy enough, and said! Where did you hide the money to buy seeds? Spit it out for Lao Tzu!"

The villagers were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on, listening to the meaning of this scoundrel's mouth, it was the village chief who privately swallowed the money that everyone raised funds to buy grain, and then used the court appropriation of each family to pay for the opening of the field, so this year's money distributed to everyone is only one penny less than in previous years?

The village chief faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and then cried loudly: "Strong man, you have wronged the old man, and you need evidence to speak!"

"Credentials?" Qian Siye squinted and smiled, "Then Lao Tzu will show you the credentials! Let's go to the abandoned mansion at the west entrance of the village." ”

This is not pretending, and the village chief's face turned pale in an instant.
