The surname Bian ranks 1,619th in the latest list of Chinese surnames ranked by population. According to unreliable gossip, there are only more than 1,000 gay people named Bian nationwide.
There is a modern saying in Beijing: The east is rich, the west is noble, the south is humble, and the north is poor; tea leaves in the south city and water in the north city.
The first half of the sentence describes a complete chain of contempt that started in the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the city from the front door to the south was considered Nancheng. Since the Qing Dynasty, there were more Han people living in Nancheng, so it was called Nanjian.
Many of the people living in the north were poor bannermen. At that time, there was a term called "Poor North West". This refers to the current boundary of Xinjiekou in Beijing. At that time, there was no city gate, so it was a remote boundary.
Because the east side is close to the docks, such as the Grand Canal and Tonghui River, there were more people doing business in Dongcheng District in the past, such as "Dongsi", which has four major Hengqianzhuang. There is also a joke: wearing a horse Juyuan
, the foot steps on the internal link to rise, the waist is wrapped with the four constants, and the body is clothed with Ruifuxiang.
The four major Hengqian banks are: Hengli, Henghe, Hengxing, and Hengyuan. At that time, they were equivalent to the current ones: Industry and Commerce, Agriculture, Construction, and Bank of China.
There are many officials in Xigui, and Heshen and his Excellency single-handedly boosted the housing prices in the entire Xicheng District. The wages of craftsmen also increased.
The meaning of the second half of the sentence is that the water in Nancheng is too alkaline, and even if you use a filter pot, you can't get rid of the smell of rotten vegetable leaves.
In fact, there were not many sweet water wells in Beijing. In the Qing Dynasty, if someone could dig out a sweet water well in their land, the entire alley would be renamed!
Such as Datianshuijing Hutong, Xiaojing Hutong, Sanyanjing Hutong, Hongjing Hutong, Xiaotianshuijing Hutong, Qianjing Hutong, Siyanjing, Wangfujing, Yaojiajing, Jing'er...
"Buzz...boom..."
A bus coming from Dongcheng District stopped at the Jinjing Hutong intersection after driving 9 kilometers.
An old lady in her 60s shakily got off the bus and walked on a crutch. The middle-aged woman beside her quickly stepped forward to support her arm. The old lady stared straight ahead, holding a cane in her hand.
Walking towards Jinjing Alley with small steps.
"Old lady, why don't we find a child to deliver the letter?"
"Hmph! What if someone takes our money and refuses to acknowledge it?"
"This...but our..."
"Don't do this or that. We're afraid they won't admit it, and they're also afraid that we are people of unknown origin. This matter can only be discussed face to face. Knock on the door!"
The deaf old lady looked at the eldest mother's dissatisfied look, and urged with a walking stick: "Knock on the door!"
"well."
The aunt swallowed timidly, clenched her right fist and knocked on the old wooden door.
"Dong dong dong...dong dong dong..."
"Who!"
As soon as the knock on the door rang, scoldings came from the small courtyard. A middle-aged man in his 30s opened the door and squinted at the people who came in.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Is Bian San at home?"
"Where can I find him? What do you two do?"
The deaf old lady looked around and found no passers-by, so she quickly winked at the aunt.
The aunt stepped forward and pulled out a red rope from her waist. At the other end of the rope was a small cloth bag.
"This is 200 yuan. Here."
The middle-aged man smiled and took the money from the aunt's trembling hands.
"Can we go into the courtyard to talk now?"
"Ha! Just talk about what's going on. Third brother hasn't woken up yet."
The deaf old lady said with a gloomy face: "Zhou Wenzhong, in the east wing of the front yard of No. 95 Nanluogu Lane."
"I know, you two go back first. I will reply to you within 3 days."
The deaf old lady hit her cane "dong dong dong" and said, "We must kill him."
The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently.
"I know, I know. Since you two can find the third brother's home, it proves that you have some connections. Our third brother's reputation is a golden sign. After this is done, I have to send another 200 yuan. Which one of you two will leave me?
Give me an address."
"The rest of the money is easy to tell. The address is written on the money."
The middle-aged man took out the big black pile and took out the banknote with the address of the deaf old lady's house on it and looked at it.
"Haha, I feel like you are still neighbors living in the same courtyard." After saying that, the middle-aged man nodded and closed the courtyard door.
"Let's go back."
"well."
The aunt just wanted to leave this place quickly. She held the deaf old lady's arm and walked quickly towards the street.
"Who knocked on the door just now?"
The middle-aged man put 200 yuan on the coffee table and explained to the short fat man on the Arhat's bed: "You two old ladies, let us help kill someone."
"Find a few people to find out."
"good."
The short fat man didn't even look at the banknotes on the coffee table. He got up from the Arhat bed and took a sip of tea. He directly waved his hand and sent the middle-aged man away, pulled a small square pillow and went to sleep.
The nickname Bian San comes from: flat back of head, surname Bian, and flat head.
The first half of Bian San's life is legendary. He grew up in a wealthy family. As a teenager, he often participated in group fights between unarmed forces in Dongcheng District.
And because of his honest and honest appearance, the social eldest brother during the Republic of China basically would not take him to participate in armed fighting activities. The reason is because the eldest brother felt that taking him to fight would be too low, so he would always participate in some activities to help his friends.
In addition to his job as a swordsman, he is sometimes responsible for shouting and cheering outside the "battle circle".
Speaking of Bian San's most glorious moment, it should be the major event that happened on August 11, 1948.
That day, he stabbed the nephew of the fifth concubine, the deputy director of the [Beijing Ordnance Industry Department] in the street, and was immediately taken into custody by the Beijing Police Department.
And because of Bian San's wealthy family, the case that should have been shot immediately was delayed for more than two months.
Until Bian San went bankrupt and was about to be dragged away to be shot. His 19-year-old daughter-in-law, who had already passed away, took the only 20 small yellow croakers left at home and was willing to surrender to a social figure nicknamed "Lao Pi" in order to trust him.
Guan San got Bian San out of prison.
Later, "Lao Pi" spent the price of 8 small yellow croakers and successfully invited a Hongmen incense owner nicknamed "Er Donkey" and surnamed "Ji" to mediate the matter.
More than a month later, while Bian San was still waiting for death in prison, a small-scale armed conflict began between Changping and Ping in the capital.
It wasn't until a week later that the capital was peacefully liberated! People's Liberation Army soldiers opened the prison locks and began to examine Bian San.
Later, after a month-long series of visits and investigations, it was finally confirmed that Bian San had gone bankrupt before liberation. He sold his house and land, and his wife and children were separated. And because he assassinated the family members of corrupt officials during the Republic of China on the street, the organization had Bian San
San's action was determined to be [Operation Contributing to Liberation], and Bian San also became a meritorious person.
Finally, on April 11, 1949, the organization released the impoverished Bian San from prison.
On June 30, 1950, according to the "Decision on Classification of Rural Classes", the nationwide classification of rural class compositions began.
Two months later, various cities across the country also began to classify urban families. Bian San was finally classified into the "urban poor" group. Even the 60-square-meter small yard where he now lives was not considered in the original organization.
Then reward him.
Biansan, the [urban poor], are the poorest and cleanest among those with urban hukou!
[Urban poor] are ranked as follows: [Urban homeless], [Urban small handicraftsmen], [Urban freelancers], [Urban clerks], [Urban old clerks], [Urban peddlers],
[City businessman], [Small proprietor], [Guan Tang] (the landlord belongs to this category), [Old soldier], [Old military officer], [Ragged landlord], [Old official], [Capitalist].
The components in remote areas also include [Toast], [Toast Head], and [Lord].
After liberation, Bian San was unable to make a living. After many twists and turns, he found the original "Lao Pi" and successfully became his disciple. However, "Lao Pi" had been replaced by "Ji Erlu".
Strictly speaking, Bian San had to call "Ji Erlu" a master or a master to open Xiangtang. He also got a job.
From then on, Bian San made a living by guarding the Pigeon Market of the Shenwu Sect. But he was not a great big shot. Even the black market in the Pigeon Market was not qualified for him to patrol.
However, because of his own family life habits in his childhood, he behaved very highly in his daily life. In addition, he was exposed to some social customs in his youth, and the worldly atmosphere in his behavior. He often
Let some people who are not familiar with the inside story mistake him for a certain big brother.
Some time ago, a fight broke out in the Pigeon Market in Shenwumen. The reason was that many people fleeing the famine gathered and attacked the Pigeon Market to grab food. The real death toll that day was 36 people, and 11 more people died later due to serious injuries that were not treated in time.
The data given by the police from beginning to end is that 6 people were seriously injured, and the injured are currently recovering in the hospital.
The data that Yan Bugui learned a few days ago that 16 people had died was actually gossip on the streets.
Because the incident that hit the pigeon market was too big, the pigeon market could only temporarily close down. "Lao Pi" was also implicated and is currently in the quarry camp of Qinghe Farm, busy with labor reform with his good brother.
And because Shenwumen Pigeon Market was attacked by the public security this time, a large number of big brother-level figures in the capital were all arrested. Nowadays, there are many small gangsters like Bian San who always fantasize about
He was able to take advantage of the situation. But he had no other options and could only recharge his batteries at home. He hoped all day long that his elder brother would be released from prison and make a comeback so that he could earn a living.
Looking at Bian San's past life experiences, I am afraid that only the "wealth" of being far away from home and losing his entire family fortune in gambling can compete with him.
If the deaf old lady and the aunt could finally figure out this huge and complicated underworld network, they would probably die of depression on the spot.
