Chapter 43 Chapter 16 The shrew asked for credit and turned against Wang Yushi, who inspected something strange
Bailang exhausted himself for half an hour, walked out of the room cursing, and came to the hall, where Xu Niang, who was waiting here, came up and shrugged her nose before speaking, because she smelled the sticky smell on Bailang's body. Sweat.She casually handed Bailang a bowl of herbal tea, and asked with a lustful smile: "Master, is this jujube worth it?"
"It's worth it!" Bai Lang drank the bowl of herbal tea in one go, smacked his lips and said angrily: "Before entering the room, the girl was called Zao Nier, after half an hour of tossing around, my uncle has become Zao Nier. "Master, this is the truth," Xia Po said in an expert tone, "We have seen a lot of men like you. When you enter the kiln, you can't wait first, and then you can't be ruthless. In fact, as long as you don't Urgent, let’s give you a ball here, and your nail will really be made of iron.”“What kind of pill?”
"A golden gun never falls."
"Good medicine, good medicine, next time you come, you must take one first."
Bailang thought it was Xia Po who deliberately teased him, and didn't want to stay here for long, so he was about to go out, Xia Po hurriedly grabbed him, shouted "Master, stay away", and then stretched out her hand. "What?" Bai Lang asked with squinted eyes.
"Where is the money?"
Xia Po's body was flickering, and the big gold-encrusted earrings on her two ears were dangling, which was annoying. Bai Lang, who was not in a good mood, scolded "bitch, bitch" several times in his heart, and then said embarrassingly Said: "You still need money."
"What's the matter?"
"Zao Nier is Zhang Er King Kong, our uncle has not even touched it.""Didn't get started?"
"Yes, I was bitten on the shoulder."
"Then, why did you wait for half an hour to come out?"
"You can control this."
"If you enter our place, we can control it."
"What do you want?"
"Pay the money and leave."
"Okay, then put it on the account first, and pay later." Bailang said as he lifted his foot and was about to go out. "Wait." Xia Po stretched out her hand to block the way, "Do you want to renege on your debt?""So what?" Bailang wanted to tremble.
"Huh, sparrows eat broad beans, feel how big your asshole is." Xia Po's face suddenly changed, and as soon as she slapped her, two strong men came out from nowhere, one on the left and one on the right The white wave sandwiched in the middle.
"What do you want to do?" Bailang shouted.
"We don't want to embarrass the uncle, you pay the money and you leave."I didn't bring any money. "Bai Lang patted his body, indicating that he had nothing. "As soon as we entered Yaozi Street, we found that you are not authentic, but we didn't expect that you would dare to bully my old lady."Hei Zhuzi, you can figure it out. " After Xia Po finished speaking, she lifted her leg and was about to leave, Bailang hurriedly called her to stop, and said: "Ma'am, please stop, sir, I have something to show you. "As he spoke, Bailang lifted up the summer cloth gown, took off a small wooden sign from his waist and handed it to Po Xia, and said arrogantly: "Look at who I am. "
Xia Po took the three-inch-by-one-inch wooden plaque that was painted red. Although she could not read, she recognized that it was a waist plaque commonly used by "yamen people".Then he handed the wooden sign to Hei Zhuzi who knew a few words.Hei Zhuzi stared at the light of the lantern above his head.

"Ah, you're from the patrol shop," Xia Po's tense face suddenly relaxed, and she said to Hei Zhuzi expertly, "Read the reverse side of the waist card again."Hei Zhuzi took aim Bailang glanced at it, and then said word by word: "Liu Jingui." "Your name is Liu Jingui?" Xia Po asked.
"This uncle is exactly."
Xia Po grinned, and said in a tone that has seen the world: "Our site in Yaozi Street is under the jurisdiction of the Suzhou Hutong Patrol Shop. There are more than a dozen soldiers in this shop, as well as stewards. There is no one we don’t know, Master Jiang, but we have never met you, Master Liu.”“I’m new here.”
"He's new here, but Mr. Jiang didn't tell me."
"Jiang Ye is our leader, we come here, he nodded and agreed.""Since this is the case, Jiang Ye must have something to tell you."
"Master Jiang said that we should have a good time. This is a place under the supervision of our policemen. If there is anything we can take care of."After hearing this, Xia Po smiled embarrassingly, and then her expression changed. cold.It must be known that this Xia Po is a tigress on Yaozi Street, and she has an extraordinary relationship with Jiang Erwang, the head of the patrol shop in Suzhou Hutong.This Jiang Erwang has hereditary military status and has worked in the police shop in Suzhou Hutong for almost twenty years. Xia Po was his best friend when she was young.It is precisely because of this relationship that Granny Xia has no fear, and has become a "copper pea" on Yaozi Street that can't be chewed or crushed. No one in Chongwenmen who likes to make troubles dare to open her "Street fragrance" hits Tai Sui.Moreover, Jiang Erwang himself restrained his subordinates and forbade them to go to the streets to take advantage of it.Over the years, except for Xia Po's treats, the soldiers of the patrol shop will never come to the "street fragrance" to eat for nothing.But now this patrolman who claims to be Liu Jingui dares to commit a taboo, Xia Po concludes that there is fraud.So, as soon as Bailang finished talking, Xia Po winked at Hei Zhuzi, and it was too late to say it, and then Hei Zhuzi and the two rushed forward, immediately pulled Bailang to the ground, and fetched a hemp The rope cut and bound his hands backwards three times. Bailang Duck's mouth was dead, and he shook his head on the ground: "Your mother, you want to rebel!" Hei Zhuzi, who was scolded, became angry and kicked Bailang's ass a few times. Howling like a pig.Xia Po had already sat on the wooden chair, squinted at the white waves rolling on the ground, and said, "Take off his pants." Hei Zhuzi followed orders, and Bai Lang showed Bai Shengsheng's buttocks.The black pillar turned him over again, the thing between Bailang's crotch was drooping like a ground silkworm, the situation was really embarrassing. "Master, or the old rules?" Hei Zhuzi asked.
"Yes." Xia Po replied.
Hei Zhuzi took a sharp boning knife from his partner, grabbed Bailang's "earth silkworm" with one hand, and was about to unload it. Bai Lang felt a chill at the root of the kidney sac, which was where the razor blade was touching. He was terrified, and hurriedly condemned Rao and shouted: "Mother, please be merciful." Bring the money."
Bailang begged with a mournful face: "It is true that I did not bring any money with me. In this case, you send someone to follow me to the police shop to get it." My old lady is cheating here, let me tell you the truth, my old lady has a flesh-and-blood relationship with the Suzhou Hutong police, not to mention the people there, but any object there, there is no old lady who does not know, you are pretending to be Liu Jingui, that's all. You will not break the law even if I beat you to death." "I am Liu Jingui, if you don't believe me, go to the patrol shop and ask."
"It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin. Well, it's up to you, go to the police shop now. Hei Zhuzi, put him in that bird first.
stuff to stay for a while, go to the patrol shop. "
Hei Zhuzi helped Bailang put on his trousers indiscriminately again, and picked him up from the ground like a chicken.Then they escorted him and followed Xia Po, pushing and shoving all the way towards Suzhou Hutong.
It’s about a mile away from Xia Po’s Street Fragrance to the Patrol Shop in Suzhou Hutong. In a short while, Xia Po and his party arrived at the gate of the Patrol Shop. After a closer look, he shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Second Master Jiang, look, we brought you a two-legged coward." Just after shouting, It was only then that Po Xia realized that something was wrong in the yard. The yard was usually empty, but now there was a sedan chair for eight people, and there were ten or twenty horses along the wall.A dozen steps from the courtyard gate to the Gongxi gate, two teams of swordsmen stood.There were eight soldiers standing along the edge of the corridor, each holding a big white gauze lantern with the words "Censor of the Patrol" in their hands, illuminating the courtyard like daytime.Seeing this posture, Xia Po knew that a big person was coming, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, twisted her waist to back out.At this moment, there was a stern shout from the courtroom: "Who is bold enough to come here to make a noise, bring it up."
Without waiting for Xia Po to answer, two swordsmen stepped forward to hold her up and dragged her into the office. This public house was originally familiar to Xia Po, and Jiang Erwang, who sat here to ask about politics, was her good friend for many years.It's just that sitting behind the desk table in the main hall is a high-ranking official she doesn't know, and Jiang Erwang, who usually sits in this seat with majesty, is standing listlessly like a chicken with plague. In front of the beam and pillar in the lower left corner of the table case. But said that the high official sitting in the patrol shop was Wang Zhuan, the censor of the patrol city.In the afternoon, the cabinet office came to the yamen of Bingmasi in Wucheng, and delivered the letter from Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant, to Wang Zhuan.It was told that the Empress Dowager Li would go to Zhaoning Temple to pay homage to the Buddha and incense on the next day, and told him to "clean the road, protect it with all my heart, be careful from the beginning to the end, and not be negligent in case of accidents."After receiving this letter, Wang Zhuan dared not be negligent, and immediately called for the second official in the yamen and the eighteen generals who were in charge of patrolling the security of various roads in the capital. Events, temporary addition of all-night patrol soldiers and other important matters have been arranged in detail.It should be noted that the public security in the capital was originally jointly responsible for the Wucheng Bingmasi, Jinyiwei and Dongchang.Jinyiwei and Dongchang are organizations that combine police detectives, criminals and prisons directly under the control of the emperor.Only the Wucheng Bingma Division is the police agency of the government system. It is in charge of more than 120 patrol shops in the capital city.The official of the yamen of the Wucheng soldiers and horses is the censor who patrols the city.Ever since the new emperor came to the throne, Wang Zhuan, the censor who patrols the city, has never been relaxed for a moment. As the saying goes, the world's most important affairs are nothing more than a change of dynasty.During this period, if any calamity happened in the capital that hindered the holy dynasty, it would be a heinous crime for him, the city patrol censor.Thankfully, at this time of transition between old and new, apart from the battles in the imperial city, the ground in the capital is relatively calm.However, Queen Mother Li's trip tomorrow made Wang Zhuan feel a lot of pressure.Even if Zhang Juzheng didn't say hello, he knew the importance of this matter, and no mistakes could be made.Therefore, the emergency meeting lasted for two hours, and Wang Zhuan ordered the participants to split up and take their own responsibilities until they felt that everything was safe.After the meeting was over, he himself grabbed a few mouthfuls of food in the yamen, ordered the sedan chair to go to the patrol shop in Suzhou Hutong.This is the place that must pass through from the imperial city to Zhaoning Temple, and it is the most important place to guard against public security tomorrow. Wang Zhuan was really worried, so he came here overnight to supervise. As Wang Zhuan's sedan chair suddenly stopped in the courtyard of the police shop in Suzhou Hutong because he did not say hello in advance, Jiang Erwang, the manager of the shop, was still playing games and drinking in a small restaurant opposite.The gate of the courtyard was pitch black, and even the lanterns had not been lit.When he entered the room, he saw two soldiers on duty sitting and chatting with each other, but the rest of the soldiers didn't see any of them, Wang Zhuan was furious.He asked the soldiers on duty to find Jiang Erwang, and scolded him head and face.Order him to immediately send someone to bring the twenty soldiers of the whole shop back as soon as possible.Frightened by this, Jiang Erwang was more than half sober, he jumped in and out, and it took almost half an hour before most of the soldiers came back.Wang Zhuan, who had been sitting in the hall the whole time, was still angry, and scolded Jiang Erwang for half an hour. At this critical moment, Xia Po came in ignorantly. The soldiers turned Xia Po into the courtroom. This woman had never seen such a formation before, and she was frightened.But she is an ignorant person after all, she doesn't know the rules of seeing an official, she just stands there, her eyes are still looking around. "Kneel down!"
A man surnamed Zhang who came with Wang Zhuan and was in charge of the patrol shop in Chongwenmen yelled at the boss, causing Xia Po's legs to tremble and her body to kneel down. Wang Zhuan glanced at the gold-encrusted jewelry on Xia Po's head and the wax gourd face smeared with thick makeup, and felt as if he had eaten a fly.He frowned and asked angrily: "What's your name?"
"Xia—the lotus girl." She wanted to say Xia Po, but when she thought something was wrong, she changed her name and said a name that she herself thought was unfamiliar. "What do you do for a living?"
"The one who opened the kiln."
"Ah?" Wang Zhuan raised his head and glanced at Po Xia again, this woman was also looking at him, the lewdness hidden in her eyes made Wang Zhuan very uncomfortable, and he continued to ask, "You just yelled in the yard What?" "Let's say we sent Master Jiang a two-legged flirtatious dog."
"What to send?"
"Sao-dog-male."
Xiapo repeated it in a dragged tone, and there was a burst of laughter in the courtroom. Wang Zhuanben wanted to laugh too, but he gritted his teeth and slapped the desk, and loudly reprimanded: If you dare to speak like this to me, come, someone, drag this shrew down, and beat her hard!""Yes!"
Immediately, a few soldiers responded, and Xia Po kowtowed in panic, pleading: "My lord, you can't beat me, old man. You're telling the truth, this show, ah no, this pretending to be a patrol The pawn has been tied up by the old man." "What did you say? Someone pretended to be a patrolman? What kind of thing is this? You really recruited it."Wang Zhuan became interested, and his body couldn't help Leaned forward.Jiang Erwang was also quite surprised, his eyes were fixed on Xia Po, as big as a copper bell. Xia Po knelt on the ground and told the whole story.After finishing speaking, he turned his head and shouted into the yard: "Hei Zhuzi, bring someone up."
As soon as he saw the person brought up, Jiang Erwang couldn't help complaining secretly in his heart.It turned out that this person was called Minister Wang.Three days ago, Liu Jingui, the patrolman of our shop, died of tuberculosis. Someone introduced Minister Wang to find him a job, so he asked Minister Wang to replace Liu Jingui as the patrolman.According to the rules set by Emperor Hongwu, the registered sergeants of each army guard are divided into two types: regular soldiers and floating soldiers.The soldiers have two loads of Lumi per month, which is more than double that of the soldiers.This Liu Jingui is a hereditary soldier and has no children under his knees. If he dies, his family will be wiped out.As usual, he had to report to the Bingmasi Yamen in Wucheng to cancel his military registration, but Jiang Erwang wanted to occupy Liu Jingui's Lumi, so he boldly asked Minister Wang to replace him, saying that Liu Jingui would each get half of Liu Jingui's Lumi.Minister Wang readily agreed.Only this afternoon, Jiang Erwang gave him Liu Jingui's badge, saying that he would arrive at the shop tomorrow to take office.I didn't expect something to happen so soon. As soon as Minister Wang came in, he knelt down very knowledgeably.Wang Zhuan glanced at him and asked, "Are you from this police shop?" "Yes." Minister Wang looked at Jiang Erwang shyly.
"Where is the waist card?"
"It's here!"
Xia Po put her hand into the moonlight linen jacket, took out the waist badge, the sergeant next to her took it, and handed it up with both hands. Wang Zhuan turned the waist card upside down and looked at it several times, but from the corner of his eye, he kept watching Jiang Erwang.Wang Zhuan smiled sinisterly, and suddenly shouted: "Come here!"
"To!"
Immediately, four soldiers with water and fire sticks stepped forward.
Wang Zhuan pointed to Minister Wang who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered: "Drag this guy down, beat him hard, and break his legs."
The four sergeants were about to strike as soon as they promised, and Minister Wang stepped forward in a panic, begging bitterly: "Please forgive me, my lord. Forgive me, this is the first offender, and I will never dare to do it again."Wang Zhuan The little triangular eyes hung upwards, and scolded: "I can forgive you, but the "Law of Ming Dynasty" formulated by Emperor Hongwu himself cannot forgive you. Sergeants who are enlisted soldiers and whores will not be pardoned. Breaking your legs is still a crime. This official's accommodation, let it go on." "Since the adults say so, let the villain tell the truth."
"Say!"
"The villain is not a registered sergeant."
"Ah, you're not Liu Jingui?"
"The small one is not, the small one is called Minister Wang."
"Then why do you pretend to be a sergeant and cause trouble?"
"It's not impersonation, it's a replacement." Minister Wang muttered.
"Who told you to replace me, where is Liu Jingui now?"
Wang Zhuanming was asking Minister Wang, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Erwang.The stall was already sweating profusely on his forehead, wishing he could find a crack in the floor and get in.At this juncture, Minister Wang knew that he had caused a catastrophe, and his lips were so nervous that he didn't know what to say. The room suddenly fell into a deathly silence. "Say, where did Liu Jingui go?" Wang Zhuan asked again. Xia Po looked at Jiang Erwang. Seeing the old man's face was sallow, his lips were trembling and he did not speak, she couldn't help scolding "pustule" in her heart, and answered for him: "Liu Jingui died three days ago dead."
"Well," Wang Zhuan nodded, that's what he wanted, and then asked Minister Wang. "Who asked you to replace me?" Minister Wang glanced at Jiang Erwang and remained silent.
Wang Zhuan has now fully understood what is wrong, but he is not in the mood to try this matter tonight, so he ordered Minister Wang to be taken to prison and strictly guarded. When the soldiers escorted Minister Wang to retreat, Xia Po who stood aside gloated at his misfortune.Seeing this, Minister Wang was dissatisfied, suddenly stopped his steps, turned around and shouted with a stiff neck: "My lord, I still have something important to report."
"What's the matter?"
"This Xia Po abducts and sells women from good families."
Minister Wang then talked about Yuniang.Wang Zhuan was no stranger to the name Yuniang. She was not only admired by Gao Gong, but also appreciated by Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't know if this Yuniang was that Yuniang.Wang Zhuan didn't talk to him either, and waved his hands to let the soldiers take Minister Wang down, and then asked Xia Po: "How many kilns are there in Yaozi Street?"
“More than thirty people.”
“How many prostitutes are there every day?”
"As few as hundreds, as many as thousands."
"Business is so good?"
"There are many refugees in this area, and Yaozi Street makes money from them."
"Is the kiln you opened the largest?"
“It’s not the biggest, but it’s definitely the best,” Xia Po said when she mentioned “business”, she immediately smiled, her mouth was unobstructed, “My family’s Zao Nier, I’m not boasting, I can’t find it in Yaozi Street. Come out the second one, sir, your status is too high, otherwise, I will let you try something new.""Presumptuous, get out."
Xiapo stuck out her tongue in fright, and before anyone came, she had already greased her feet and slipped away.
Hearing Xia Po leading the black pillar away chattering away, the yard returned to calm.Wang Zhuan shouted: "General Manager Zhang." The little one is here. Sitting in the lower right corner of the counter, Mr. Zhang quickly got up. "Pass my order, you personally lead 500 patrol soldiers, and sealed Yaozi Street to me overnight. " "Yes." " Zhang led the general to go.
Wang Zhuan turned his head to stare at Jiang Erwang again, and said with a sneer, "Jiang Erwang, I will not pursue the tricks you played for the time being. If there is any mistake in the law and order from your place to Zhaoning Temple tomorrow, I will take care of it." your skin."
