With a thunderclap, the vagrants and beggars were expelled.This is also one of the secret orders that came out two weeks ago, but this time there is no high-handed card. In the morning, the Baojia chiefs were convened for a meeting, and in the afternoon, with the assistance of the security team, the streets and alleys were launched at the same time. At this time, in the Yiwoxuan photo studio on North Street, three or four young people had been talking for a long time, and everyone felt a little dizzy and their throats were getting thicker and thicker. "I suggest a compromise," the host, Chen Weixin, tried his best to lower his voice, trying to soften his tone. "I can't bear to say that patriotism is the right and duty of citizens. Since our "National Spirit Martial Arts Club" takes patriotism as its purpose, it should not require any qualifications to join the club. There are reasons for this explanation. However, since we are named For the 'Martial Arts Club', a major qualification has been established. What is this qualification? It is 'Martial Arts', so my brother proposed that the club constitution stipulates that 'anyone who is proficient in martial arts can join the club', so everything is covered. .”

After Zhao Junjue listened patiently, he glanced at Zhang Canren, who frowned and did not speak. Sun Lao Er (nick name Ping Zhai) spoke first, "Isn't that why we are ineligible as founders? Not right, not right!" Zhang couldn't bear it and almost laughed, but Chen Weixin replied seriously: "No! Brother Pingzhai, this is not the case. Generally speaking, as a promoter, as long as there is one qualification, it is the 'qualification of the promoter'. The qualifications in the company constitution do not need Stubbornness. Celebrities and rich people initiate this today, and initiate that tomorrow, are they omnipotent? It’s nothing more than the effect of ascending to the top.”

Second Sun nodded quickly and said, "That's right, that's right, I forgot." Suddenly he frowned again, "But the third-rate people are very good at it, and they still want to come, what should we do?" Turning to Zhang Buren, "Old Ba, it's not that I'm used to treating people with a villainous heart. It's actually the new county magistrate who repeatedly told the family to be strict yesterday. There are too many traitors in the county, so be careful." "So, Brother Pingzhai, can you guarantee that there will be no long-clothes class?" Zhao Junjue's voice became rough again.

"Hey, that's not what I said." Chen Weixin rushed to answer.He immediately turned his face to Sun Lao Er, "Brother Ping, you don't have to worry about it. There is a way. In the future, if you meet someone who behaves suspiciously, even if he really knows a few skills, just say that he is not good enough in martial arts." "Oh! Don't let people come in, there is always a way." Zhang couldn't bear to look at the newly made foreign lead signboard of "National Soul Martial Arts Club" on the table, and said coldly. "The most radical way is not to set up any society at all." He smiled lonely, and suddenly raised his voice, "This is not the time to stick to words, how serious the situation is! But since brother Weixin and Pingzhai like to choose every word carefully, I will ask One sentence: Is the purpose of our club to train the majority of people who don't know martial arts to be good at it, or just invite a few masters to sing by themselves? Article 2 of the draft constitution..."

"By the way," Zhao Junjue interrupted, "This article is the purpose, and it clearly says 'advocate' and 'popularize'; it just contradicts Brother Weixin's compromise!" Sun Laoer suddenly jumped up and grabbed the draft of the articles of association with one hand, and waved at Chen Weixin with the other, "Everyone, don't be arrogant. I have a solution. Simply put: If you want to join the club, you have to find a shopkeeper!" Zhang Buren and Zhao Junjue were startled.Chen Weixin raised his hands and cheered repeatedly: "Okay, great! After all, he is Sun Hongchang's little boss, and the method is practical and flexible!"

"Looking for a shopkeeper?" Zhao Junjue blushed, and his voice was trembling, "That--that's no, yes..." But an unexpected event interrupted his speech.A commotion of voices approached from far away, and several people ran past the door in a panic, shouting: "Come on, come on!" Chen Weixin immediately left his seat to look, and Sun Laoer followed.Zhang couldn't bear to look back at the street outside the door, a group of people had already crowded under the signboard of "Yiwoxuan", and the bayonet on a gun shook the signboard several times. Zhang couldn't bear to run to the door, and saw a familiar face among all kinds of faces.That's Second Sister Huang.Two guards with guns raised their bamboo whips to threaten the idlers as if they were acting; another guard, also with a gun, seemed to be chasing away, and at the same time seemed to be dragging the second sister Huang.Sun's second child also intervened, and Zhang couldn't bear to hear him say:

"...I'll just guaranty for you, why bother arguing!" "Thank you, Second Young Master, I don't want to protect you; I'll go with them! See if they dare to cut me into pieces?" The voice was very sharp, not like that of an old woman in her fifties. "Haha! Second Sister Huang's Biaojin is still the same as it was twenty years ago!" The idlers who watched the excitement laughed and rushed to crowd in.A man who was a few years older pulled a young man with a cocked cap on the shoulder and said, "Brother, let's do some good deeds! You encourage her to make trouble. If you really lock her up, will you give her food? "The man with the bird's cap askew didn't answer, but just squeezed.

Zhang couldn't bear to ignore it, but he couldn't help walking towards him.An idler yelled as if to clear the way for him: "Uh, the eighth young master is here! Get out of the way!" Zhang couldn't bear to find it funny.The idler turned his head again, as if he had something to say, but Zhang Buren had already arrived in front of Second Sister Huang and the others. "Oh, Young Master Eighth, are you here too? How is Mistress Eighth?" Second Sister Huang said first affectionately, and immediately pointed at the guard group with her eyes wide open, "Master Eighth, how do you comment on this reason: My Second Sister Huang's ancestors lived in this city Here, masters, young masters, who don’t know each other, but they are blind and want me to ask for a shop guarantee! Hmph!” Looking up and looking around, “What’s so difficult about my Second Sister Huang asking for a shop guarantee? Just now the second young master was willing to protect me, but, judging this reason, no one in the county knows me—"

"Mr. Zhang!" A security group in front turned around and said, "We are on official business," suddenly raised his neck impatiently, said "Damn!" , The superiors ordered the expulsion of vagrants and beggars. People who have no job in the county have to find a shopkeeper! No one knows this old beggar, but the business must be done properly!" "We just want to take care of her," said the security group who was pulling Second Sister Huang—but perhaps being pulled by Second Sister Huang, "and caused her to scold her. Follow us and make a lot of noise—"

"Didn't you say you want to kill me? You do it, you!" Second Sister Huang yelled sharply, almost poking her finger into the face of the security team. "Damn it! Just do it, I'm not afraid that you are the Queen Mother!" The idlers laughed again. Zhang couldn't bear to frown, looked at Sun Laoer and said, "Brother Pingzhai, I'll just ask you to be a guarantor..." "Damn! The traffic is cut off! Go away, go away!" shouted the guards holding bamboo branches, which were dangling over the idlers' heads. Zhang couldn't bear to persuade Second Sister Huang to go back, and the security team also broke through the siege of idlers to carry out their duties.Zhao Junjue stood in front of Yiwoxuan's gate and shouted: "It's getting late, we haven't finished discussing the regulations yet!"

"Oh! What about this?" Chen Weixin glanced at Sun Lao Er, "Are there not many items left? I think those few items can be passed as the original case." "But what about membership?" Zhao Junjue approached and said. "I still have something to-" "I have something to do too." Zhang couldn't bear to rush to say it without waiting for Sun Lao Er to finish speaking, and smiled faintly. "Just find a shop and secure it. Goodbye!" Nodding, he walked away. Zhang couldn't bear to go too far, Zhao Junjue caught up and said hastily, "Why, what, you agree—" "Naturally I agree," Zhang couldn't bear to stop, and smiled lonely again, "Anyway, shop insurance is prevalent. In the future, everyone in the county will have to look for shop insurance except for the upper-class people who are employed!" Zhao Junjue's narrow eyes were wide open.Zhang couldn't bear to say coldly again: "Banish vagrants and beggars! Prevent traitors! The real traitors go in and out of the public house, talking about catching traitors, catching traitors!" After a pause, "Junjue, tomorrow, you, me, Ji Let's discuss it again, I'm going home now to make an assessment of the whole situation."
