Shanxi Lane Xinghua Hutong.
"Turn left in front of the third house and that's it."
Wang Jin sat on the side of the carriage, grabbed the edge of the carriage with one hand, stretched his neck and gestured forward.
If someone else was driving, he would have sat in the carriage with the old god, but Zhang Cheng was the driver who was dedicated to serving the second master.
This leader's driver is naturally not comparable to ordinary servants.
Therefore, he had to endure the biting cold wind and sat on the cab to show that he and Zhang Cheng shared weal and woe.
However, Zhang Cheng was not very appreciative. He let Wang Jin betray him along the way, and he refused to disclose the throne of the second housekeeper, who would be the winner.
But after the carriage turned left, it soon came to the door of a large mansion.
call~
Zhang Cheng reined in the reins, swept the pair of stone lions in front of the door, and asked uncertainly, "Is it really here?"
"That's right, I came here last time."
Wang Jin didn't wait for the carriage to be stable, so he jumped out of the carriage, but he never thought that his feet would slip, and he almost put his head under the wheel. Who are you scolding.
Yuemo was alarmed by the scolding, and when he saw the thick wooden door a little to the left and right, a door boy in a blue shirt and a small hat came out and stood on the steps and looked at Zhang Cheng suspiciously.
"we are… "
Zhang Cheng was waiting to declare his surname, but Wang Jin had already come around from the other side.
"It turned out that it was Master Jin!"
As soon as the boy saw it was him, he immediately changed his color, trotted forward, and smiled attently, "My master has been thinking of you for the past few days, and it just so happened that you were here!"
When Wang Jin heard the word 'Master', he couldn't help but pouted, opened his mouth and asked, "Can Hong Jiu be at home now?"
But it turned out that this splendid mansion was actually the new residence of the beggar's guardian, Hong Jiu.
"I'm here, my master is in the mansion right now - please come inside!"
As the little boy spoke, he slanted his shoulders flatteringly and let the guests in, and when he reached the door, he shouted inside with a loud voice: "Hurry up and report to Jiuye, Lord Shaoqing's mansion is here!"
I don't know who agreed, and then I heard footsteps go away quickly.
Wang Jin put on the appearance of an uncle, shy and not looking sideways.
Zhang Cheng did a lot of scanning around. Although this yard is not comparable to Sun Mansion, and even less to Rongguo Mansion, which has been run for several generations, it is also very neatly tidy up. The rockery, lake and stone, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money. silver.
Zhang Chengcheng frowned at the moment.
Wang Jin didn't know, but he knew what kind of life Hong Jiu lived in the beginning. Now he has only been a beggar guardian for two years, and he has saved up this big family fortune!
But there are only a group of beggars under their hands, how much oil and water can they squeeze out
Could it be…
Thinking of the details of the 'heart-cutting case' he heard, Zhang Cheng unconsciously raised his vigilance.
But they said that the two of them followed the child to the living room, and not long after they sat on the top, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.
"Sin, sin!"
Before the person entered the door, Hong Jiu made two accusations, and after crossing the threshold, he bowed to the end and continued: "In this snowy weather, it's just right for the villain to look at Master Jin, but Why bother you... ah!"
Halfway through speaking, he suddenly saw Zhang Cheng beside him, and his eyes widened immediately: "Master Zhang? You... you are here too?!"
After being stunned for a moment, he exclaimed hurriedly and exaggeratedly: "This is really splendid and splendid!"
Seeing that Wang Jin didn't intend to get up, Zhang Cheng naturally sat on the head, imitating his second master's usual appearance, and said calmly: "Hong Baochang, your house is not a sloppy one. "
It's a pity that he only learned a little, but he forgot the truth of concealing and not revealing, and Hong Jiu peeped through his mind immediately.
Hong Jiu rolled his eyes, not in a hurry to speak up, but turned around and greeted outside: "Come on, get two membership cards."
Hearing the three words 'membership card', Wang Jin and Zhang Cheng in the hall looked at each other without realizing it, and secretly asked how this beggar's den also learned the kiln style
This 'membership card' system, needless to say, is also from the hands of Lord Zhongshun.
Speaking of which, he 'invented' a lot of new things in the brothel back then, which caused some waves.
It is a pity that Xiao He defeated Xiao He, because these things first became popular in the Fengyue market, and other industries were afraid of affecting their reputation, so they dared not follow up in time.
Therefore, to this day, the new underwear and the membership card are still the patent of the brothel brothel in Beijing—as for places outside the capital, the taboo is not so serious.
Less gossip.
But after a short while, a servant from the Hong Mansion brought two copper cards with a circle of peony embossed on them, with a three-digit number in the middle.
Hong Jiu held it in his hands, and put his hands in front of Wang Jin first, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to be filial piety to, these two membership cards are also welcome to the two masters, so I think the two masters are for the villain's face. already."
Wang Jin didn't refuse at all, he flicked his fingers in his hand, and asked familiarly, "Is it a discount by card, or is it a points system? Only drinks, or even the overnight fee..."
"Hongjiu!
Hearing his frivolity, he really smeared his own mansion. Zhang Cheng immediately sank his face, and hurriedly asked, "Where did this thing come from? Could it be that you have something to do with that brothel?"
Hearing the word 'coupling', Hong Jiu secretly thought that sure enough, he immediately smiled and said, "Master Zhang misunderstood, this Peony Building is my new business, but it is not related to others."
Having said this, he sighed helplessly: "Master Zhang doesn't know, because Hebei suffered a flood three years ago, there are many girls living on the streets in Beijing all of a sudden. Many of the authors have reached the age of 14 or 15, so it's not good to continue to let them sleep on the streets, right?"
"Those who know self-love, it doesn't matter if I give them a share of money to marry a good family."
"But since they've become beggars, how many of them are still self-respecting and self-respecting? To tell you the truth, I don't know how many have been confused and bloated over the past year!"
"Let them get married. They are stunned, and they are stunned. They think they have been poor and poor - but think about it, if it wasn't for poor people, who would be willing to marry a beggar as a wife?"
"Recently, there are some stupid women who are lazy and delicious. Just for a few bites of good food and good dishes, they have opened up their pockets. Whether it is the people nearby or the beggars that go with them, they will all come."
"I thought about it, it's not a problem if it goes on like this, I just gritted my teeth and opened a family house and let them sell it at a clear price! Anyway, I can save some money, no matter how good or lonely I will be in the future, I can have it to some extent. a reliance."
However, after Hong Jiu's analysis, Zhang Cheng's face softened a lot. When he finished speaking, he nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, then you might be kind."
But then he made a timid threat: "But if you dare to do something to force you to be a prostitute behind your back, the second master will definitely not spare you!"
"Look what you said!"
Seeing his stern words, Hong Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and exaggeratedly said: "The villain doesn't open his eyes, and he knows that Master Sun established this beggar protection system to prevent rape and criminal offenses - how old is the villain? Brave, dare to hit the blade of Master Sun?"
As he said that, he also talked about some deeds of 'leading people to be kind', sometimes mixed with some anecdotes, and the atmosphere naturally became more and more harmonious.
Seeing that the show was almost done, Hong Jiu changed his words and asked cautiously, "The two masters came together, must have some orders?"
Zhang Cheng and Wang Jin looked at each other, Wang Jin was a little unhappy, but he got up after all and went outside to guard himself.
This was also specially explained by Sun Shaozong. Wang Jin was quite competent as a concierge, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
However, Zhang Cheng said solemnly after Wang went in and out: "Second Master has lifted you up. There is an important errand to be assigned to you. If you do it well, you can't possibly find a serious career."
When Hong Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up.
Although he is happy and carefree now, he is even more comfortable than ordinary merchants, but after all, he bears the name of a beggar, and whenever he interacts with people, he is always short.
Therefore, he was a hundred times more eager for this serious 'born' than the average person.
So I was in a hurry to ask questions.
"There are two people involved in a critical case..."
It turns out that Zhang Cheng and Wang came here to give Hong Jiu the task of tracing Wang Erhu's relationship network before his death.
After all, Hong Jiu was white, so naturally it was not a matter of dispatching staff from other yamen.
He has always been shrewd, and he has helped the local government track down pickpocket gangs and human trafficking groups.
Moreover, Hong Jiu's subordinates are either beggars who walk in the streets, or some rogues in the market. Even if they are noticed, it is not easy to associate them with the government.
When Zhang Cheng slapped the head and the tail and explained the details of the case to Sun Shaozong's explanation, Hong Jiu immediately patted his chest to accept the matter, and then personally sent the two-person gift out.
Returning to the mansion, Hong Jiu was eagerly preparing to select elite soldiers and strong generals. When he went to investigate the case with him, he suddenly saw a young girl with bright eyes flashing from the side, looking at him hesitantly.
"What's wrong girl?"
Hong Jiu smiled and said, "Could it be that the second son provokes you again?"
The girl shook her head, and finally summoned up her courage and said, "Ninth brother, can we not open this Peony Building? It is said outside that you are tired of being a beggar. You want to be... want to be..."
"Want to be a turtle master, don't you?"
Hong Jiu sneered, and reached out and patted the girl on the shoulder: "How can we control the mouths on them? Can't we just hear the crickets cry?"
"But... but..."
"Never mind."
There was a hint of schadenfreude on Hong Jiu's face, and said proudly: "We can't control what they say, but someone can control what they do! Let's wait and see, I can't say for a while, those scumbags even lost their heads. Now, when you see it, what are you going to use to spread rumors!"
…
Half an hour later, the official office of the Zuo Temple of Dali Temple.
"...Hong Jiu also occupies a place on the pier. Beggars who are willing to work hard to earn money can go over and do the work."
Speaking of which, Zhang Cheng frowned, as if he was still unfinished, but he didn't know what else to say next.
Sun Shaozong heard him talk for a long time, how rich Hong Jiu's family is, and when he talked about the business Hong Jiu was involved in, then he still didn't know what he was struggling with
The moment smiled and said: "Since he has such a mind, we did not prohibit beggars from doing business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, right? Okay, you go down and warm up first - let's go back to the house earlier."
After speaking, he couldn't help sighing again: "I'm afraid there is still a lot of fun at home to deal with."
After sending Zhang Cheng away, the smile on Sun Shaozong's face disappeared in an instant.
The matter of Hong Jiu is also an abuse of power, but in the current situation, it is not too outrageous.
But what is the fear of 'comparisons'. He Hong Jiu can be a long-sleeved and good dancer by virtue of his identity as a guarantor, and has accumulated a large family fortune in the past two years. How can the other guarantors be inferior
Those who have brains will walk on the edge of the law like Hong Jiu; those who have no brains will take risks like Wang Baochang, and do some tricks.
When Sun Shaozong set up the Baojia system, he wanted to see the specific effects first, and then gradually improve it. Who would have thought that soon, he would be ordered to go to Huguang to suppress the rebellion, and this gradual improvement was naturally put on hold.
Looking at it now, the drawbacks of this Baojia system have indeed appeared.
The rights of the guardians seem to be small, and they know that they still bear many joint and several responsibilities - but that small right, for many beggars, is the last way of life.
Therefore, after a long time, a few beggars protect the chief, which is equivalent to controlling the power of life and death, and naturally asks for the beggars below.
Originally, it was pointed out that local officials could supervise, but it is not difficult to see from the case of gouging out the heart that the local subordinate officials have already been in line with the beggar guardian.
It seems that we must find a way to introduce third-party forces to supervise, and we must also allow the position of the chief to flow, so that it cannot be controlled by a small group of people for a long time.
It stands to reason that Sun Shaozong is not in his position now and does not seek his government.
But it all started with him...
Let's take a chance and talk to Jia Yucun about this.
By the way, also ask that stone nerd.
When he came to the door to complain, many people saw it, and if he really wanted to be killed by Jia She inexplicably, it would inevitably lead to some criticism.
However, it was said that after Sun Shaozong made up his mind, he dealt with some official duties in the yamen. After Chen Jingde and Huang Bin, according to the previous agreement, sent people back to make a routine report, he simply left the Dali Temple and drove home. go.
They left together, and Liu Xianglian, who couldn't hold back for a long time, got the news at noon: Jia Baoyu convened a team at Sun's house to organize a troupe for Jiang Yuhan.
As a well-known die-hard fan in the circle, how could Liu Xianglian miss such a grand event
But under the stage where Sun's family crossed the courtyard, it was not Jiang Yuhan who was chattering, but Sun Zhaolin, the younger brother of Jia Baoyu and the Crown Princess.
These two...
How did it come together
