Chapter 51 Expedition to Taihu County
It was cold and the white snow in the wild, leaving a long row of footprints.
A donkey followed with a bunch of firewood, and then a middle-aged man walked in the snow and ice with a little boy on his back. He looked into the distance.
The little boy said, "Dad, aren't you tired? Let's take a break before leaving?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It will be dark soon. You must rush to the county town. Otherwise, the city gate will not open once it is closed. It will be very dangerous in the wild and will die."
The little boy was only four years old, and in his world there was only curiosity and no danger. So he asked again: "Dad, why are we going so far to pick up firewood?"
While walking with his son on his back, the middle-aged man said, "The Chai Gang monopolized the surrounding areas of the county town, saying that the firewood belongs to them. If you want to pick up firewood safely nearby, you must pay the money to them. No one cares about this matter, and it is a tacit agreement for the police. Even if the county master is Qingtian, the county officials are not as good as the county manager. There is no evidence to sue. So every winter, the poor will have a hard time. They have to pay the money to pick up firewood around, which makes the firewood in the county very expensive. In order not to be frozen to death, people who cannot afford it have to leave the boundaries of Taihu County and go to far away to pick up firewood for the winter, so they also face great dangers."
"What's the danger?" the little boy asked cutely.
"Child, you will know when you grow up. There are dangers everywhere in the wild. Every winter, many people go out to pick up firewood, but never go back. Who knows what they encountered? There are too many statements, but there is never a conclusion. In short, there are many missing people every winter. When Lord Sima took office as Shuzhou, he said that he wanted to solve these problems, but he always cycled like this year after year." His father sighed.
"Dad, I'm cold." The little boy said again.
The middle-aged man looked up again and saw a lonely courtyard in the distance, with a scent of fireworks emitting fireworks. A flag of "wine" was erected on the high poles in the yard, which was shaking left and right by the snow wind. Such a blatant "wine flag" was hanging proved that this was a foot shop.
"Xiao An, there is a shop in front of you. Daddy will change you to a bun with firewood, and it won't be cold." said the middle-aged man.
The little boy was very happy. Eating meat buns is equivalent to the New Year, so he smiled and said, "Dad, is it true that the emperor eats buns every meal?"
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "It should be true. He has become an emperor, so it would be a pity that he doesn't eat buns."
While speaking, I led the donkey into the yard and happened to meet a man from the room and a woman with a charming look. Her waist was still around her waist, and the main room was steaming.
After seeing this, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "Please sit in there quickly. The freshly baked meat buns are bought for the doll."
The middle-aged man pointed awkwardly on the donkey's back and said, "Can I exchange two buns with you with one-quarter of the firewood?"
"What's the point? If you have to pay for it in the future, you can give it money later. Who doesn't have a difficult time, right?" the woman smiled.
As for her man, she doesn't say a word.
"Thank you, thank you, I met a noble person." The middle-aged man put the child off his back.
The woman looked outside the yard and said, "Are you two?"
"Yes, this ghost weather, if it weren't for the sake of livelihood, who would love to go out...ah!"
The middle-aged man screamed and fell into a pool of blood as soon as he said this.
After hearing "no one else", the burly man in the store immediately cut the kitchen knife in his hand accurately on the middle-aged man's neck. The little boy's father immediately lost his life.
The little boy couldn't even cry, but just opened his eyes wide and his mouth trembled slightly. He was thinking: It turned out that this was the danger that Dad said.
Immediately afterwards, the little boy fell into a pool of blood. Because his neck was still thin, he was stabbed and his head and body were only slightly connected.
After chopping over the two of them, the beautiful woman wiped off the blood splashed on her face and said angrily: "So anxious. I have to wait for me to finish speaking in the future. No one urges you. It's so rough that the blood is splattering everywhere!"
The man shrugged awkwardly: "It's okay, I'll handle it, don't be angry, second mom."
"Work quickly, I ordered a large number of buns at several stalls in the city to send them. This is the season for wealth." After saying that, the woman turned around and wanted to go in.
The man pointed to the donkey carrying firewood and said, "Do you want to kill the donkey too? Otherwise, this little meat will not be enough."
"Just kill someone, and there will be others. Good donkeys, why do you kill them?" said the woman.
The man scratched his head and said, "All people have been killed, why are you keeping the donkey?"
The woman said: "Pig brains, people must die before they can be sold. Of course, it is convenient to kill them. However, donkeys can be sold and can work. You are not as good as a donkey!"
The man couldn't help but grin and thought Erniang was a great wise man, and he could always hit the nail on the head...
In the early morning, Wang Rong's chest was blocked and she planned to go to the rice noodle stall to feed Sima Xiaohua to take medicine. However, bad news came: something happened in Taihu County.
Because Ma Jinxi's current protection fee business is no longer limited to Shuzhou City, it has expanded to the jurisdiction of Shuzhou, and the first "attack" target is Taihu County.
Since there is always conflict between interests and there is no pressure to fight with the gangsters in Taihu County, the problem lies in Taihu County not only gangsters, but also some semi-black and white businessmen, as well as a group of black police officers. Then the behavior of Ma Jinxi and others is equivalent to "grabbing territory". There will be conflicts.
So last night, news came that Ma Jinxi's four subordinates were taken away by Hu Dutou in Taihu County and caught up with the phone number. So Xiao Wang Yanei needed to settle the matter.
"Those guys are not very useful, I have disliked them a long time ago. Since it is our purpose to destroy bridges across the river. In order to avoid being stinky, I suggest pretending not to know them and give up?" Ma Jinwei encouraged him very cleverly.
As a result, Wang Yun was kicked a few times while jumping, "Although they are vulgar, they are our comrades. Don't give up casually. They give you face to help you work. Don't stand by if you have something to do. Otherwise, how can I survive in the future if I have a loyalty? Who dares to trust you in the future?"
Ma Jinwei suddenly looked excited.
"The difficulties are solved." Wang Yun said with his hands behind his back, "They did not violate the law and are now detained for no reason. In order to maintain the justice of the law and the right way of the world and save the earth, of course we have to go and see if there is any misunderstanding."
"Yanei is wise!" Ma Jinxi said loudly.
So he set out.
Wang Rong had to go and see what the mentality of the men in Taihu County was? Perhaps the county master didn't know this, it was the act of the men in the lower class who were distributing the spoils themselves. This is very likely. The officials and officials in the Song Dynasty were two types of people, with two sets of rules. There were policies above and countermeasures below. In fact, it was about the situation in the Song Dynasty. Or it was also called the county magistrate was not as good as the county magistrate.
Even the county magistrate's intention is not a big problem. Wang Rong was not afraid of the lawsuit to the Sima Guang Department of the State Department. He just said that there is no need to make trouble to this point. Perhaps there is a real misunderstanding. If you look at the situation, it will not be difficult to settle it in theory...
I really asked God speechlessly. I had to go out in such a ghostly weather and go to Taihu County to do business.
Wang Rong was dressed like a furry bear, walking in the snow with self-reliance, full of hostility: Those dogs in Taihu County that don’t have eyes were caught by you, which made me go out to accept the severe cold. After I went there, I will definitely make you regret being a human being.
Now that manpower is short, Lao Liao is on a business trip with the Great Demon King, so the bodyguard on this trip is Ma Jinxi.
In addition, donkey Xiaobao carried Erya with him and walked in the snow and ice. Erya just wanted to follow him, and she said she didn't want to leave Dalian.
Wang Rong knew Erya was under pressure, and she mainly didn't want to stay at home alone. Although no one at home abused her, there was always a gap. She liked the feeling of being around Dalian. Well, although she was often slapped by Dalian on the back of her head and shaking, Dalian said that beating was heartache and scolding and love. The little loli thought that her brother was a caring guy.
"Erya, are you cold?" Wang Rong asked as he walked.
"It's not cold, it's just a little hungry." Wang Xiaoya, who was dressed like a furry bear, said.
Wang Yun was like a little monkey, with no sun, so he covered his forehead and looked at it for a while, pointing and said, "There is smoke in front of him, let's go eat something, take a rest and then hurry on."
"Omwoo." Donkey Xiaobao suddenly spoke out to protest.
