Speaking of which, Lao Chen is a lucky person. After he ran away that night, he was not bitten to death by a wild wolf?

He survived, but his ear was eaten by centipedes in Lanruo Temple, and now he was nicknamed Yi Er. Moreover, Lao Chen is a very conscious person, so he dare not report the case that Bai Yutang had a ear cut.

If a ruthless person is so cruel that he will have no enemies. If Chen Jiaohu reports the case, Sima Saint will definitely file a case and issue a wanted order in the world, but Bai Yutang is not a death sentence. She hates the treacherous person the most. At that time, the fierce girl asked Lao Chen, "Do you feel wronged? Are you convinced?" Lao Chen chose to agree, which means he recognized Bai Yutang's "ruling". If he stabbed the black knife with his backhand, he would be considered treacherous in Bai Yutang's eyes.

That fierce girl is so cruel to herself. Old Chen would never dare to challenge Bai Yutang's "female bachelor" patience.

In addition to worrying about the female devil, Lao Chen was also very worried about Wang Rong's revenge, because Lao Chen tried to spy on the secret recipe, but later he refused to save him when he saw that he had no choice but to run away after the big centipede appeared.

Fortunately, after being in a panic all day long, he did not see Wang Rong coming to cause trouble. He was just a group of low-level gangsters came to collect some protection fees. The gangster named Ma Jinxi also said that I was Wang Rong's people, and if I paid the protection fees, I could get the protection of the Wang family.

Old Chen paid obediently.

Lao Chen paid the protection fee not to be protected, but to make Wang Rong more clear.

As a result, Lao Chen was surprised. The most obvious thing was that he hung the token representing Wang Yun, a small abacus with three rows of beads, on the door. Those who used to "inspection" every day would never come to collect money again...

The situation took a sharp turn, and the politics of the Song Dynasty suddenly entered a troublesome situation.

The beggars occupied many deserted houses with property rights in the government. The government's things were not occupied without vain, nor did they attract hatred from the people. Sima Guang sympathized with them and thus acknowledged the beggars' behavior.

Under the rule of corrupt officials, the government will not have so many idle assets because they have been sold. The source of such assets is generally left by criminals after their houses are confiscated. It is a common trick to set a low price during auction, and agents come to buy them. There should not be too many people doing this. The so-called Pojia County Magistrate and the magistrate's source is here, and they are all caused by real estate.

However, Sima Guang was a clean official. In order not to be criticized, Sima Guang simply refused to sell these houses. When he updated Shuzhou's "balance sheet" for two consecutive years, these things were listed on it.

This led to Zhang Fangping, the envoy of the Three Sessions (Caijing) who hated Sima Guang the most and posted several articles to angrily scold Sima: Are you stuck in the door? The situation in Guangnan is so critical that when the court urgently needs money and food, do you leave so many assets in your hands and not use them?

But Sima Guang replied heartlessly: Why don’t you come to Shuzhou? As long as I am in charge of Shuzhou, I won’t sell it.

At the same time, Sima Guang also wrote to Prime Minister Pang Ji to sue Zhang Fangping for the black story, so he really started to argue.

The situation in Guangnan is not good. Now that Di Qing was ordered to go out in danger, Zhang Fangping and Pang Ji in the court have also been torn up. There is no way to do this. Sima Guang is the disciple who is most favored by Prime Minister Pang Ji.

In order to provide Di Qing's decisive battle, Wang Anshi repaid the income from the entire Huaixi officialdom, so Lao Wang had a long time ago and Sima Guang, and he also asked Sima Guang: Why don't those wasteland assets that the government cannot use? What are they left for? They are disrepaired over time, and the more they are placed, the less valuable they are. Do you have to place them like Lanruo Temple?

Sima Guang’s reply to Lao Wang was: I am in charge of Shuzhou, and you don’t need to interfere with anything you do.

Therefore, the differences between the great devil and the saint Sima became increasingly fierce due to this problem.

It was at this time that Ma Jinxi came forward instead of the Egg Gang and had a fight with the Beggars' Gang branch.

The cause is "beggar chicken".

The beggars in the Song Dynasty liked to steal chickens, and several chickens in the Lao Chen field were stolen. In the past, the officials would not investigate such matters, and they had to solve them themselves. But as long as the people from the Beggars' Sect did not exceed the limit, the Egg Sect would not start a war for a small number of chickens.

So it has become more important than the Beggars' Gang paying protection fees.

However, this time the Beggars' Sect was not so lucky. Ma Jinwei, who was eager to show his authority, believed that those beggars were challenging my yamen's authority.

The people who know the most about all kinds of tricks on the street on weekdays are actually gangsters like Ma Jinxi. They almost master the tricks of each gang, and the Beggars' Sect is no exception.

Stealing chickens is not a big crime, but Ma Jinwei knew that the most serious trick of the Beggar Gang was to kidnap children from poor families from other places, then get disabled, and throw them to the market to beg for begging. This is the darkest place of the Beggar Gang.

Mr. Sima knew the Four Books and Five Classics, but he knew these things. In Sima's eyes, he saw many poor disabled little beggars as soon as he went on a tour, so he was very sympathetic.

By the way, the reason why Ma Jinxi and his team attacked the Beggar Gang branch was not that they stole the chicken. It was that Ma Jinxi knew that they had kidnapped a new child from another place and could still talk before they had time to get rid of it.

So Ma Jinxi gathered two hundred hooligans and rushed in.

Finally, someone reported the case and found a fight when he was passing by, and there was a possibility of an armed fight.

Sima Guang, the magistrate, was furious and sent General Huang to lead a team to round up the Beggars' Gang branch.

Finally caught them all.

In the end, the child who had not been damaged and had not been brainwashed said in tears that he missed home because he was kidnapped. So he was in a mess.

Sima Guang sympathizes with the children the most. Now the two seven-bag elders of the Beggars' Sect have been pushed into prison. Sima Guang sent General Huang to go to Guangzhou to check the information of the missing children and wait for the case to be solved.
