Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67
Although the city of Xi'an in the Ming Dynasty was several circles smaller than the city of Xi'an that Song Qingshu stayed in later generations, the form of the city was more complicated. There is a set of unspoken rules in it.

When they first came to this place, because they didn't know the unspoken rules, the Xingjiaban ran into the governor's nephew for the first time at gunpoint, the second time into the pig's den of thieves, and the third time in the east of the city. Song Qingshu, who has suffered a lot and suffered a lot, will pay special attention after this. Selling roasted sweet potatoes is like a thief, stepping on the plate first.

But recently, things have gone so smoothly that the Xingjiaban guys have had the illusion that Xi'an City is very peaceful!Before I knew it, a few radishes had crossed the line.

The sun was shining red from the western sky, and the cars that sold fast food from all walks of life also came back, carrying heavy purses and entering the shop one by one to report the bills. There was a crackling sound, and her pretty face was full of seriousness. She really looked like a white-collar beauty in later generations. Today's income was quickly calculated.

"You came back late again. You didn't work hard, so you went somewhere to play again!"

After other people's accounts have been settled, this little radish and Zhang Erlangzi rushed back with an empty cart, and it went on like this for several days, even if Caiwei had a good temper, she couldn't help but pinch Xiaoman He stood up angrily.

"Little lady boss, where can I do it?"

Scratching the back of his head, Xiao Luobo quickly smirked with a playful look, and even slapped the stunned Zhang Erlenzi on the forehead.

"Er Lengzi, do you think so?"

As Song Qingshu became more and more successful, he brought jobs to everyone, and his prestige became higher and higher. The idiot at the beginning has now become the idiot shopkeeper among the Xingjiaban population.He belched suddenly, and Zhang Erlenzi, with a guilty conscience and kidney deficiency, hurriedly shook his head the size of a dirt basket in response.

"That's right, little proprietress, we really went to deliver meals, and we really didn't go to the widow Xu's house on Liutou Street to drink!"

Little Carrot almost slapped this guy on the forehead, he can't tell a lie!Smelling the strong smell of alcohol, Caiwei couldn't help laughing angrily as she watched the two blushed and dazed.

"If you want to do this again next time, I won't wait for you and let Brother Song clean up you!"

Although she was really angry, in the end, Caiwei let the two guys go. There is no way, after all, Xiao Luobo is the senior brother of Xinghongniang. In the big family, Caiwei pays special attention to these long and short matters.

"Thank you little proprietress, I will never do it again next time!" Having won the bargain, the little carrot flattered him like a tide, and Caiwei's face turned red, feeling embarrassed.

Today, the income is about ten guan. Song Qingshu from the later generation knows how to improve the enthusiasm of the employees. After one end of the work, the other end will immediately pay the wages in the form of sharing. Excluding the cost of buying rice and cooking, almost everyone can Those who are allocated twenty or thirty yuan, these days many workers can't get enough to eat, let alone wages, and getting these is definitely considered a high salary for blue-collar workers.

However, all these people in the Xingjiaban are bachelors, and they have no plan to save money to marry a wife. After receiving the wages of the day, they all went straight to the tavern not far from the opposite street happily, seeing the guests out. Song Qingshu grinned and cursed helplessly.

"These drunkards and scumbags!"

Don't look at the short legs, it's so fast, the little radish slipped to the front of everyone by grabbing the sleeves of Zhang Erlengzi. As he walked, this guy was still muttering excitedly: "Go, go! Today, you brother Luobo I can find a good place, do I have a treat this time, I will take you to have a good time!"

In the past, they were all little radish and brother stunned, but now Erleng's teeth ached when he heard it, and he yelled helplessly: "Luoba, you said to treat guests to drinks these two days, but in the end I paid for it." money?"

"Isn't it you, brother Luoba, who can't drink enough?" He changed the subject with a guilty conscience, and Little Luobo sped up and walked ahead, turning around and urging: "Hurry up, there will be no room for a while!"

Thinking of these two days when it was time to check out, this guy would lie under the table, pay the bill by himself, and throw him into the car, this guy immediately regained his energy, Zhang Erleng vomited blood depressedly, Weng Liweng was so angry Muttering, helplessly, he hurriedly followed, but just as he reached the street, an ouch came suddenly.

"Why don't you have eyes?" Pi squatted on the ground, and Xiao Luobo yelled at the person who knocked him down angrily. He glanced away, trembling with his hands, yelling and stuttering.

"You, you guys~"

……

ping pong pong~

"Ouch my head!"

"Stop hitting!"

Song Qingshu had just returned to the store, and within a short while, the sounds of fighting and screams came in suddenly. He looked at Xing Hongniang who was cleaning up the table in astonishment, and suddenly, Song Qingshu supported him. Caiwei, who was still sorting out the ledger, went to the backyard with her shoulders, and urged her urgently.

"No matter what happens later, close the door and don't come out, and Qiaoer, Xiaobao, you two go in too!"

Stuffed Caiwei into the backyard, greeted the other two young ones, and stuffed the inkstone on the counter into his sleeves, Song Qingshu dared to go outside, and Xing Hongniang had already touched Qimei in the corner of the wall earlier than him Stick, he went out one step earlier.

After going out, even Song Qingshu felt a suffocating feeling. The feeling of dizziness once permeated his whole body again. Under the steps of the shop entrance, there were little radish, Zhang Erlenzi, and the scholar Zhao Sheng who often came. All of them were beaten with blood all over their faces. At this time, there were actually three hooligans beating them, and behind them...

Hundreds of gangsters tilted their heads and slanted their shoulders, staring at him fiercely with the classic eyes of those gangsters in the movie.

In an instant, cold sweat had already wet the back.

Holding the impulsive Xing Hongniang, with a slight trembling, Song Qingshu walked to the front slowly, forcibly collected himself, but punched the three beating gangsters.

"Several big brothers, my rightful master has come out, can you stop it?"

After hearing this, the three hooligans really stopped, and the leader of the hooligan with a scar stretching from his left eye to the corner of his right mouth spat at Song Qingshu's feet with disdain, and then the three walked away with their arms tilted. go back.It can be regarded as freed from the fists and feet, and the circled little radish didn't care that the corners of its eyes were still bleeding, and staggered a few steps to Song Qingshu's feet, yelling indistinctly.

"Shopkeeper, this group of people are all mad dogs! Just as I walked to the street corner, they surrounded me. Look, they broke the corners of my eyes..."

"Now is not the time to talk nonsense!" Sweaty palms, still staring at the uninvited guests, Song Qingshu forced out the words from the corner of his mouth: "Find a chance to go quickly, go to the yamen, and find Big Brother Zhang!"

Leng Buding came back to his senses, covering the corners of his eyes, Xiao Luobo immediately staggered back a few steps and hid behind Song Qingshu.

After comforting him, Song Qingshu walked forward cautiously, bowed in a circle, forced a smile on his face and asked doubtfully to those ruffians who were not good at looking at him: "Song asked himself if he has offended you all, I wonder if there is some misunderstanding in this?"

"Hehe, misunderstanding?"

A leaky word came out from the crowd with a wicked smile. Under Song Qingshu's amazed gaze, a pockmarked man walked unsteadily, with a dog skin plaster on his right forehead. In short, if he was either a gangster or a traitor in the movie The rascal looked at Song Qingshu sullenly, and walked out from the crowd.

Looking at that figure, Song Qingshu felt a little familiar.

Tilting his head, he walked around Song Qingshu and Xing Hongniang for two full circles, and the man stopped in front of Song Qingshu just now, and Song Qingshu staggered when he punched Song Qingshu on his shoulder.

"Okay! The young couple are still here, shopkeeper Song, I still remember the brick on Dice Street last year! Shopkeeper Song is really strong, one brick down, I, my front teeth are gone, huh? Ha ha , Well played, well played! Hahahaha!"

Seeing this insolent man turning around and laughing, Song Qingshu finally remembered who this guy was. He went out to beg for a living on the first day, selling roasted sweet potatoes, and almost fell into the hands of this man on Dice Street. , the notorious leader of the gang, the Ma San who was knocked down by him with a brick!

This time the scarred face is not there, and Zhang Xianzhong couldn't get rid of the fire from a distance, so he cursed inwardly, Song Qingshu forced a smile again, nodded his head to Ma San with difficulty and apologized: "Back then, I was young and frivolous, I offended Mrs. , how about, my younger brother will set up wine in public to apologize to Master Ma?"

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden slap came over him. He was really caught off guard. The corner of Song Qingshu's mouth was split open, a trace of blood flowed down suddenly, his ears were buzzing, but his mouth was full of the smell of his own blood, his face Glancing aside, a hostility rose from Song Qingshu's heart and was buried in his eyes.

"Bah, what are you! You deserve to apologize to me!" Full of disdain, Ma San spit on Song Qingshu's clean lapel.

"Zhang Xianzhong, the head arrester in Zhongjie, is my eldest brother. After all, it was a misunderstanding at the beginning. Can you save face and expose this matter..." Still making the last effort, Song Qingshu dryly persuaded him. San was another slap in the face.

"What kind of thing is that yellow tiger, but a yellow dog, is it worthy of me to give him face?"

There was a slap, but this slap hit Xing Hongniang's eyebrow-level stick. She had suppressed her anger to the extreme, and without saying a word, Xing Hongniang just went up and wanted to do something.Whoops, this guy Ma San gained his wit from a pitfall, and retreated back to the crowd with a stride. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of gangsters came forward viciously with sticks, axes and other weapons. !
"Hong'er, stop!"

But this time, Xing Hongniang was pulled back by Song Qingshu, touched the blood from the corners of her mouth twice, her gums were all scarlet, but Song Qingshu showed a strange smile, and walked to the front again.

"Master Ma, things have happened. Since you have mobilized people to come to your door today, let's draw a line. Tell me, how to solve this matter?"

Seeing Song Qingshu's appearance as a bachelor, Ma San was stunned, and walked out of the crowd again, glanced at Song Qingshu, who was full of blood, and let out an evil laugh again.

"You kid is really smart!"

"If you want to expose this matter, it's fine! Today, you give Grandpa three heads, then sneak through under Grandpa's crotch, break an arm and a leg, and leave this Xi'an city. By the way, this woman has to be played by me. One night!" Folding his arms, Ma San pointed at Xing Hongniang and laughed obscenely, then turned his head and shook his head at the other gangsters under his command, which immediately caused the gangsters to roar with laughter.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xing Hongniang clenched the stick tightly again in fury, who knew that Song Qingshu pushed her back again, nodded her head and walked in front of Ma San.

"Okay, I'll drill!"

He looked at Song Qingshu with contempt and disdain, Ma San raised his head arrogantly, and spread his legs, Song Qingshu really stroked his sleeves as if he was about to kneel down, but just as he bent down, he suddenly slapped his head with an ouch .

"Master, I forgot something!"

"What's the matter again?" Full of impatience, Ma San bent down subconsciously, but saw Song Qingshu stooped and fumbled in his sleeves quickly, like catching lice for a long time, and a silver ingot-shaped object came from him A silhouette was exposed from the sleeve, and Ma San was really blinded by money, thinking that Song Qingshu was going to pay for money to beg for mercy, and inadvertently moved his face a little closer, but in the end, what was exposed in Song Qingshu's hand was a man with the inscription on it. Stone inkstone with ingots.

"What are you..."

He opened his mouth and was about to scold, but Song Qingshu's smile sounded sinister in his ears.

"Maye, this time is the same as last time, tell me, why is it so similar?"
