Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh beggar

The eunuch party was eradicated, and those officials who had once clinged to the eunuch party were also punished. It can be said that when Emperor Chongzhen first ascended the great treasure, he showed his potential for a wise ruler.

However, later he became more anxious. Under the anxiety, Emperor Chongzhen became more and more irritable, and then he tried wildly on the verge of destruction of the country step by step.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian fell, and the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture who cursed him was also taken down. Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to demolish the temple built by the eunuch party Wei Zhongxian across the country.

The newly appointed prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture was quite honest. Given that the temple built by Wei Zhongxian consumed a lot of people's efforts, the prefect could not bear to demolish it, so he only demolished the front hall and kept a part of the back hall. Therefore, the back hall was later changed to the City God Temple.

What Zhu Cilang wanted to see was Du Zhongren, a servant who was driven out of the royal palace by King Zhu Gongye of Zhou and was wandering in the City God Temple.

When he arrived at the City God Temple, Zhu Cilang discovered that it was just a dilapidated temple. Perhaps, this temple was once glorious before. From the site selection to the materials used in the building, the glory of the past can be seen.

However, this temple was disrepaired and gradually became deserted. In today's City God Temple, the City God has fallen off its golden body, and the main hall is full of spider webs, and it has become a beggar's nest inside.

Although this place is broken, it is always a place to shelter from wind and rain. Therefore, this place has become the best choice for beggars.

Beggars are also divided into gangs. Beggars who can live in the City God Temple occupy most of the territory in the west of the city. Logically speaking, Du Zhongren is not qualified to come to the City God Temple.

First, he was personally ordered by Prince Zhou to drive him to the City God Temple and let him die. Second, Du Zhongren participated in the Kaifeng Defense War. The news that he killed more than 70 bandits was widely circulated among the people.

The leader of the Beggars' Sect in the west of the city called a bowl. Who knows how this guy, who looks like a nickname for bandits, took the position of the boss of the Beggars' Sect.

In short, no matter how a bowl looks, it doesn’t look like a beggar. Any beggar who enters the west of the city begs are his gang members.

He didn't need to go out to beg in person. The beggars in the west of the city had to pay tribute to him every month. Not only did this guy not see the appearance of a beggar, but he even married two wives.

If Zhu Cixuan hadn't come in person, he wouldn't have believed it. A beggar actually had two wives. This made him, a single dog, feel deeply hurt.

Although he had Xiao Shishi, he did not confess. Moreover, why can a beggar marry two wives?

Zhu Cilang was a little angry. He looked at the guy who was dressed cleanly and didn't look like a beggar on his body: "You are the head of the beggar here, what's your name?"

The other party had long heard that the visitor was the current crown prince. Yipeng never dreamed that he could say a few words to the crown prince, which was enough for him to brag for the rest of his life.

A bowl respectfully: "When the prince's words, the villain dares not take the lead, but leads a group of brothers who have no food and clothing to make a living."

Zhu Cilang snorted, "I heard that you have a good appetite. The whole beggars in the west of the city are under your jurisdiction. I also heard that you have two wives?"

The prince is not kind, and seems to be full of provocation. Could it be that the prince is here to cause trouble for himself?

It's unreasonable. How could I bother the prince? Moreover, I didn't seem to have done anything that hurts the world. A bowl was still a little scared, so I had to bite the bullet and replied: "The prince is clear about it. This country has a country, the family rules, and beggars are also traitors. If no one is restrained, there will always be some bad sheep. The villain dares to lead these brothers and dare not do anything wrong. As for marrying and having children, it is a major event in life. The villain has never forced his wife and is willing to do it. His Royal Highness, our brothers in the west of the city, killed a total of 325 bandits, and 519 of them died."

Zhu Cilang couldn't help laughing: "You've been doing the work. I ask you, there is someone named Du Zhongren here."

In fact, Zhu Cilang just disliked him and did not intend to cause trouble for him on purpose. Unexpectedly, the beggar actually participated in the defense battle of Kaifeng City. Thinking of this, Zhu Cilang was much better than his evil deeds on his face.

In fact, if there is a leader in charge of these beggars, the local government will save a lot of effort.

In the final analysis, beggars are always social instability factors. In troubled times, beggars' lives are even harder. As Yipeng said, if no one is restrained, there are likely to be offenders.

There is a commander of the bowl in the west of the city. If there are evil beggars, the government will first come to him. Then, a bowl will use its own power to investigate the matter. If the government cannot satisfy the government, he, as a beggar, will not be able to do it.

What's more, these Beggars' sect groups exploited them layer by layer. Each beggar has his own territory, and the money they charge has to be paid to a bowl according to their heads every month.

This money is not all obtained from a bowl. Instead, a large portion of the money is taken out to honor the officials. Zhu Cilang didn't know about this.

When he heard that the prince was coming to find Du Zhongren, a bowl immediately became happy: "Your Highness the prince was looking for Du Yingxiong, and Du Yingxiong is here with the villain. Ah Da Er, why don't you carry Du Yingxiong out quickly!"

Two beggars under a bowl of men lifted a ragged wounded man out of the hall with a broken wooden board.

This man was covered in blood and his hair was scattered. Countless wounds were covered with bandages. It seemed that he was very injured. Wan Wan didn't expect that he would stand up.

Zhu Cilang was shocked and looked at the man covered in bandages and covered in blood: "You are Du Zhongren."

The stretcher was Du Zhongren's eyes were dissipated and his eyes were nodded without any attention.

Zhu Cilang was greatly disappointed: "What's going on?"

A bowl on the side sighed: "We all know that Du Yingxiong, with his own strength, killed more than 70 bandits on the city wall. He is our great hero. But when he heard that Du Yingxiong offended the prince, he was sent to this City God Temple. On weekdays, brothers took care of him."

Zhu Cilang frowned and looked at Du Zhongren on the stretcher: "Didn't the King of Zhou give you hundreds of taels of silver? How could you fall to this point?"

Du Zhongren did not speak, and sighed with a bowl: "Your Highness, in this famine, you said that the people are not full, so who can care about us beggars? Brothers will not be able to survive anymore. It was Du Yingxiong who gave his 200 taels of silver to his brothers. Otherwise, the brothers would have starved to death long ago."
