[PS: The last name was written incorrectly. Tang Jing is not Qin Jing. He is getting older and his memory is getting worse...]
Miss Tang was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. From the moment she was born, she was the richest girl in Lingzhou City. She could earn a hundred taels of silver just by reciting a poem. Of course she didn't know what frugality was.
Xiao Ru and Third Uncle have always lived a hard life, and they have never been as wasteful as her.
When the breakfast shop first opened, they couldn't sell out all the tofu nao. My third uncle ate it all by himself until he vomited, but he didn't waste a single bowl.
Xiaoru's cloth shop has opened. It's called a cloth shop, but in fact it's more about accessories, fabrics and the like. It's small and meticulous. It's very popular with women, and the business is very good every day.
Whether it's Uncle San's breakfast shop or Xiao Ru's clothing store, Tang Ning doesn't think about making money. Only when they have something to do can they feel at ease.
When he was about to reach the shop, he saw the beggars squatting in the corner, each holding a few buns in their hands.
Judging from the size of the bun, it should have been given to them by their third uncle.
Tang Ning was a little confused. Third uncle had always recognized money but not people. Except for the beggar mother and daughter, he had never given alms to other beggars.
"Sir!" Several beggars saw him coming and immediately stood up to greet him.
Tang Ning noticed that they looked a little embarrassed. Although they were all beggars and were a bit slovenly, there was no reason why they all had bruises on their noses and faces.
"There was a group of beggars causing trouble at the entrance of Xiaoru's shop just now. The customers were so frightened that they didn't dare to go in." The third uncle looked at Tang Ning, pointed at the beggars, and said, "Thanks to their help."
"Making trouble?" Tangning looked at her third uncle and asked, "Is Xiaoru okay? Why are they causing trouble?"
"Xiao Ru is in the shop, she's fine." The third uncle shook his head and said, "I don't know why they went crazy. They were sitting at the door of the shop, so scared that the guests didn't dare to go in."
A beggar stood up, put a bun in his arms, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Sir, those guys are from another street. They must have been ordered by someone to collect money to do things, and deliberately came to cause trouble...
…”
Tangning looked at him and asked, "The beggar on the other street?"
The beggar nodded and said, "This is not the first time they have done this kind of thing."
There are state laws and family rules, and beggars must also follow the rules of being a beggar. The Beggar Gang is known as the most upright gang in the world. It has strict rules and regulations, including the "Eight Essentials and Ten Commandments". It has always behaved decently, so how could it be such a bad behavior?
Tangning looked at the beggar and asked, "Don't you, the Beggar Clan, care if they do this?"
"Beggars' gang?" The beggar looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What beggars' gang?"
Tangning looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Have you never heard of the Beggar Clan?"
The beggar shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"Really not?"
"No."
"Third uncle, please have two bowls of tofu nao." Tang Ning thought for a while, greeted her third uncle, then looked at the beggar, pointed to a stool, and said, "Sit down, let's talk."
"No, no, no, sir, my body is dirty. Sitting down will make the stool dirty. Just stand and listen to what you say." The beggar waved his hands repeatedly and stood beside Tang Ning in a panic.
Tangning waved her hand and said, "Sit down if I ask you to. I have to raise my head to talk to you while you're standing. I'm tired."
When the beggar heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then walked over to sit opposite Tang Ning, but he only dared to touch the stool with half of his buttocks.
Tang Ning thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Your name is Liu Laoer?"
When he was chatting with these beggars before, he asked his name. Among the beggars on this street, Liu Laoer was still somewhat famous. Among the beggars in this alley, he was the leader.
The beggar said quickly: "Young master has a good memory, so I will call you Liu Laoer."
Tangning nodded and continued to ask, "What happened to the beggar on the other street you just mentioned?"
Liu Laoer explained: "Back to the young master, those guys from Jin Mazi on the next street are just a bunch of scum. They cheat, kidnap, and steal, and they do whatever they can. The girl's shop opened here. She must have disturbed someone, so she let it go.
Jin Mazi and the others came out to cause trouble."
The so-called colleagues are enemies. The opening of a new store in Xiaoru, and the business is booming, will naturally attract the jealousy of many people. Tang Ning is not surprised by this, so she asked Liu Laoer and the others to help keep an eye on it. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days.
, some people can’t bear it anymore.
Don't worry about settling these accounts yet, Tang Ning looked at Liu Laoer and asked: "How do you beggars in Lingzhou calculate your power? Please tell me in detail."
When Tang Ning first started looking for beggars, she had a general understanding of the beggars here.
Scholars have their own circle of scholars, businessmen have their own circle of businessmen, officials have their own circle of officials, and beggars naturally have their own circle of beggars.
Every street in Lingzhou City can even be subdivided into the first half and second half of each street, which belong to different spheres of influence.
Almost every beggar in the city has a fixed begging place, which is like a territory. If you invade someone else's territory, the other party will fight tooth and nail.
So it's not that easy to be a beggar these days.
It is human instinct to hug together. Beggars in an area will form small groups. Seven or eight people like Liu Laoer occupy an alley or half a street. Jin Mazi's younger brother in the next street has more, about a dozen
Personal appearance.
There is no Beggar Clan, and naturally there is no Lingzhou branch of the Beggar Clan. There are only small forces like Liu Laoer.
A beggar who doesn't want to be a gang leader is not a good beggar. To be a beggar, you also need to be enterprising. If you just stick to this alley, you will not make much progress in your life.
There are many beggars in Lingzhou City, and there are even more beggars in the world. Although the largest beggar gang in the world is just a fiction in the novel, if all the beggars in the world can be gathered together, it will be a very powerful force.
Tang Ning looked at Liu Laoer and asked, "Have you disliked Jin Mazi for a long time?"
Liu Laoer was startled, then nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Half of the street next door was originally ours, but it was later taken away by Jin Mazi, and many brothers suffered a lot under his hands.
deficit."
Tangning thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Do you want to avenge this arrow and take back your territory?"
Liu Laoer hesitated for a moment, looked at him, and said awkwardly: "There are so many of them, we can't defeat them."
Tang Ning pointed at Peng Chen who was sitting nearby eating steamed buns, looked at Liu Laoer and asked, "Do you know who he is?"
…
In Lingzhou City, at a certain street corner, more than ten beggars gathered here.
A beggar handed a whole chicken wrapped in lotus leaves to a pockmarked beggar in the front, and said flatteringly: "Brother, this is the chicken you want."
Jin Mazi tore off two chicken legs, handed the rest back, and said, "These brothers share it."
The beggars showed joy on their faces and hurriedly said: "Thank you, brother!"
A beggar next to Jin Mazi chewed on the butt of a chicken and muttered: "Brother, it's all Liu Laoer's fault. If they hadn't ruined our business, that person would have given us more money!"
Another beggar interjected: "Liu Laoer and the others are nosy, sooner or later we will deal with them!"
Jin Mazi took a big bite of the chicken leg, accidentally causing a bruise on his face, and his face twitched.
This bruise was caused by an accidental punch from Liu Laoer today.
They already had old grudges with Liu Laoer and his gang, and what happened today can be said to have added new grudges to the old grudges.
A beggar ran over in a panic from the street and said: "Brother, Liu Laoer asked someone to tell me that he wants to fight with us on Changping Street this afternoon!"
The beggars in Lingzhou City often engage in fights to compete for territory. The loser must either give up the territory and get out of Lingzhou City, or submit to the winner. Jin Mazi did not expect that they had not found Liu yet.
The second brother's trouble came to him on his own!
Jin Mazi narrowed his eyes and said, "What time?"
The beggar said: "Xu Shi."
"Let them wait!" Jin Mazi stood up and said, "This time, we will settle old and new accounts together!"
