Chapter 23: The Beggar Gang Rebellion (11)
In the third year of Xianping, November 13, the chief rudder of the Luoyang Beggars Gang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The helmsman of the beggar gang does not occupy a large area, if you only look at the place where there are houses. In fact, the helm of the beggar gang is located in a wasteland in the west city of Luoyang City, this house is not built by the beggar gang, but the house of the adults of the unknown dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty rose together, Luoyang is a place where soldiers must fight, and now even the leader of the beggar gang is afraid that he does not know who the owner of this house is. Anyway, in the troubled times, they snatched a house that was no longer inhabited, and the beggars were so numerous and powerful, where would they be afraid of anything? It's just that the old people in Luoyang said that the vicinity of this house was originally very prosperous, but unfortunately it was occupied by a group of beggars, and the neighborhood gradually became desolate.
Of course, these old people in Luoyang don't dare to say that the beggars are not, after all, the people in the beggar gang are all "heroes". In fact, there are indeed a lot of good things done by the people in the beggar gang, but it is a pity that they are all killing inferior gentry and robbing evil businessmen, especially in the famine years, those big families outside Luoyang City, almost none of them are not afraid of these "heroes" visiting. Even if it is a pure and good family, when faced with thousands of refugees and hundreds of beggars whose bodies are stronger than themselves, who will not be angry?
If it is obediently cooperative, it is not a big deal, these "heroes" are also considered "benevolence and righteousness", they will not snatch all the surplus grain, but will discuss with the big households, according to the ratio of seven and three, it is not that only three percent of the grain will be distributed to the victims, but the beggars and the victims will take away seventy percent of the grain, of which three percent will be given to the disaster victims, and the beggar gangs will take away forty percent, and the big households can only keep three percent, but externally it is to say that it is seventy percent.
Of course, the victims didn't know this, and they all knelt on the ground one by one to give thanks.
In the early years, after the beggar gang moved the rudder to the south of the Yangtze River, many Luoyang big families were expressionless, but they were all happy, and even many people gathered together to toast and celebrate. But in recent days, I heard that the horse gang leader had returned to Luoyang with people, and these big families remembered those days of famine. Who said that having rice and noodles in a disaster year is the most worry-free? In the eyes of these big households, the most worry-free thing in a disaster year is the people in the rivers and lakes who have weapons in their hands and do not even dare to manage the government.
This is still the case in disaster years, not to mention how normal life is. The so-called beggars make a living by begging, and the so-called begging, in addition to kneeling on the street, the way to get money is to come to the door to ask for money.
Those who beg on the streets are usually beggars and do not have bags. In addition to watching these street begging gangs, the one, two, and three bags of disciples also need to go to the door to beg. Of course, most of the time, they go with four or five bags of disciples, and they can divide about 10% of the money and rice and noodles they ask for, and this percentage has to deduct the bulk of the four or five bags of disciples, which means that they can only get a few cents from the total amount of money they ask for, and they can only get a few cents from it at most.
Therefore, for those big families who were eaten in the disaster year, these one, two, or three bags of disciples were eager to squeeze them dry. If someone refuses to give it, then it is okay to kill him all over the house in the dark, after all, they are already members of the beggar gang, and they were caught with a big scar on their heads and falling off their heads. Not to mention that the people who take them to kill people are usually four or five bags of disciples.
Of course, as long as the beggar gang is added to six bags, then they can completely stay away from the "begging" thing. In a sense, these disciples with more than six bags are the real helpers of the beggar gang, and they are the people who can rush to the front in the midst of the fire and chaos of the rivers and lakes. Most of them have not bad martial arts, and there are even many disciples of martial arts families who join the beggar gang, and they are directly added to six bags.
And the beggar gang conference, only disciples with more than six bags can participate, for example, today, on the day of Ma Kui's funeral, only disciples with more than six bags are allowed to come. Except for the beggar gang meeting, it is only about the time when the gang leader is at the funeral, and the desolate beggar gang chief can gather so many beggars.
It is in the backyard of the beggars' helm, which must have been a garden for those officials or uncles with thousands of dollars to play, not only swings and streams, but even a small bamboo forest. Of course, the beggars were not interested in these elegant things of the literati at all, so this place was deserted. As for letting the disciples in the gang clean up, since the people in the beggar gang are willing to be beggars, which one is not lazy to do? Except for those disciples with more than six bags, or rookies who show their edge and have great potential, I am afraid that every beggar is lazy and lazy. It's okay to let those disciples work hard for the sake of being lazy, but if they are allowed to clean this garden, I am afraid that it will be harder than letting them commit suicide.
Therefore, this garden has been abandoned, I don't know how long it has been abandoned, perhaps the thick layer of snow and a layer of dead leaves under it is an answer. And today, in the garden of this long-abandoned backyard, there are a few beggars out of a deserted and dry well, and look at the cloth bags tied around their waists, they are all six bags of disciples.
It turned out that this dry well was not a real dry well, but a secret tunnel, after its spring was blocked, I don't know which beggar gang leader hired someone to dig the secret tunnel, and finally completed it a few years ago, the bones of the workers who dug the tunnel were also buried near the dry well, and they also carried silver on their bodies, which had been promised to them. From a certain point of view, the beggars can be regarded as keeping their promises, after all, they have not relied on the wages they have accumulated over the years.
And this secret path finally came in handy today.
"They seem to be here and a quarter of an hour away. The six-bag disciple who climbed out first looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said to the second companion who crawled out.
"Didn't Jian Wei and Kong Wen already have a big fight last night?
"Talk, brother, haven't you woken up yet? If you want to talk, how can the acting helper summon us six bags of disciples to come over? Brother, look at it, I think there will be a bloody battle today. ”
The third and last man who had crawled out of the tunnel had already reached the ground, and his body was a little strong, and it would be a waste of effort to drill through what was a small dry well for him.
But this sturdy beggar is different from the other two, he has seven cloth bags tied around his waist, he is a seven-bag disciple, and he is also one of the strong contenders for the position of elder after Kong Ming's death, because he did not choose to stand on the side of the Dirty Clothes Sect or the Pure Clothes Sect, but chose to be alone, so facing the suddenly vacant position of the elder, it has become an excellent opportunity for him to be promoted by a seven-bag disciple with a vague faction.
"Don't talk about it, let's go find the helper, but don't let the big fish slip away. ”
The strong beggar's voice was very loud and full of energy, and when the two six-bag disciples heard it, they didn't dare to say much, so they had to obey their fate. (To be continued.) )
