"What are the rules and taboos about beggars in Jinling City?"
Jia Yun sat on the chair and saw that everyone around her was standing in groups. She didn't dare to speak and kept silent in a low voice, but her eyes fell on him. Soon, she also looked at Zhang Xiaolong.
, and asked in a low voice without any hint of arrogance.
Zhang Xiaolong stood beside him tremblingly. Hearing Jia Yun's inquiry this time, he reacted very quickly. He did not grimace, but shook his head and said: "There are rules in Jinling City even if you are a beggar.
, not just anyone can become a beggar.”
"Most of the beggars in Jinling City are divided into categories, and each has its own territory and backer. If you go to other people's territory at will, you will be driven away and beaten. If it is more serious, you will be beaten to death after being discovered.
Drag it into the Jinling River to feed the fish."
"I don't know how many beggars' bones are buried in the Jinling River."
"Because the government has a low status as a beggar and no one reports it to the government, even if they try to solve the case, there is always no money to be made. Therefore, this has gradually become a tacit understanding between the government and us. As long as we don't cause trouble in the city,
, if you don’t make the matter a big deal, then it’ll be fine.”
"This is how the old rules came from."
As Zhang Xiaolong said this, he secretly glanced at Jia Yun, who was sitting in the front seat. He was really a true hero. He made a clean and sharp blow without any sloppiness. He was indeed a ferocious one.
Even though Jia Yun's face looks quite delicate and her speech has the elegance of a Confucian scholar, what she does is not ambiguous at all, but has the demeanor of a general.
Zhang Xiaolong is also a scholar, so he has naturally heard the story about the Jia Mansion in Shenjing and the two princes.
Even in this small Jinling Mansion, the Jia family is a top wealthy family, and almost no one dares to provoke them.
For a small person like Zhang Xiaolong, let alone a collateral bloodline like Jia Yun, even if he is a slave in the Jia family, his status in the world is higher than that of humble commoners like them.
As the saying goes, a big dog depends on its owner.
There are many slaves who bully others, and servants who pretend to be powerful.
Seeing Jia Yun's gloomy face, she seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaolong's procrastination. Immediately, Zhang Xiaolong quickly continued to speak: "This is the West Street. All beggars are under our management. Except beggars from outside.
You have to submit a certificate of surrender, otherwise you will be driven out and beaten up. The Yamen steward responsible for managing the West Street needs to pay some money every year, and the Xigua Gang who runs the gambling house and brothel in the West Street is responsible for collecting protection fees."
"The idiot who was killed by the Second Master before was the little leader of the Watermelon Gang."
"The layout of other streets is similar."
Jia Yun nodded slightly when she heard this, looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and said, "Who is behind this Watermelon Gang?"
As long as you are walking in the world of rivers and lakes, you have no backing or strength. If you want to be the king and have a status in the rivers and lakes, it will be extremely difficult and almost impossible.
Therefore, Jia Yun expected that there must be a backer and someone behind the Xigua Gang, but she didn't know who this backer was.
"The Watermelon Gang's previous backer was the big boss of Jinling Mansion. However, this big boss was arrested a few days ago and charged with corruption. Now the big boss of Jinling Mansion has not been decided yet, and the court has not appointed anyone.
I came here as an errand, so there is still a vacancy."
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong was also explaining the entire Jinling Mansion situation to Jia Yun, talking carefully.
"So that's it? Such a thing happened!"
When Jia Yun heard this, she couldn't help but think of Jia Yucun. If what she expected was true, this man would soon take office and come to Jinling Prefecture to be the prefect of Jinling.
This is also the fundamental reason why Jia Yunfei returned to Jinling Mansion to participate in the imperial examination.
Who did Jia Yucun rely on to come to power? Jia Zheng, the network of relationships behind Jia Zheng, and the power and majesty of the entire Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion came to power.
In order not to offend the Xue family among the four major families, Jia Yucun was able to let Xue Pan go unpunished and try the Hulu case without fixing Xue Pan's guilt. It can be seen that this person is also able to understand the world and people, gradually become diplomatic, and can judge the situation.
What a villain.
Real villains also have their uses.
If there is an imperial examination in Shenjing, there will be too many dignitaries and there will inevitably be no room for manipulation.
And in Jinling Mansion, which is far away from Shenjing, and encounters Jia Yucun, there is a lot of room for manipulation.
Does Jia Yun really not know that the imperial examination in Jingzhao Prefecture is less difficult than that in Jinling Prefecture?
Jia Yun actually knew it all along.
He not only knew that the imperial examinations in the Jiangnan area were extremely difficult, but he also knew that there were many talented and beautiful people in the Jiangnan area. Most of the people who passed the imperial examination in the past dynasties were from the south, and the same was true for the number one scholar.
However, Jia Yun can make a fuss in Jinling Mansion by virtue of her status as a collateral bloodline of Jia Mansion in Rongguo Mansion.
No matter how good your writing is, it will be difficult to get ahead without support from anyone above.
No one in Shenjing would give Jia Yun face, and they would look down upon the descendants of the Jia family. But in Jinling Mansion, with the help of Jia Yucun, the all-powerful prefect of Jinling, is it possible that he still can't win the election?
There is a huge difference between someone serving as an official in the court and someone serving as an official in the court.
Jia Yun was sure that Jia Yucun would come to this place, so she came here in advance, intending to bring the majesty of Jia Yucun and Jia Mansion to handle matters of imperial examination and money.
Jinling Mansion is rich!
Since ancient times, Jinling has been prosperous and there are many rich people. A little bit of oil and water is enough for Jia Yun to win many draws.
But how can Jia Yun operate alone without any background or support?
However, Jia Yun may not be able to draw on the strength of Jia Mansion and Jia Yu Village in Jinling.
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, uses his strength to fight, and uses his strength to bully others. This is what Jia Yun will do next.
Jia Yun's own talents and academic skills, coupled with the double insurance of Jia Yucun as the prefect of Jinling, wouldn't it be easy to run a civil servant?
Is the Jinling Prefecture Imperial Examination really difficult?
Jia Yun doesn't think so.
As long as you have good hands and eyes, there are people above you, you are strong enough in your abilities and you can operate well, why can't you get ahead and get promoted and make a fortune?
Jia Yun pondered for a long time, thinking about the future pattern. She looked at Zhang Xiaolong and said calmly: "Go and help me make an appointment with the people from the Xigua Gang. Let's talk about the Jia Mansion in Shenjing and the second master of the Yun family after Rong Guogong in Rongguo Mansion.
, I plan to invite your gang leader to have a drink at Tianxiang Tower."
Jia Yun deliberately obscured her identity as a concubine here, and deliberately tried to attract Duke Rong.
Thereby creating more favorable negotiation conditions for yourself.
