The place where Wang Yuan and others lived was called Nanjiao at this time, and was called Nancheng from the Jiajing Dynasty. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
Hundreds of years later, when people mentioned Nancheng, three place names appeared very frequently: Tianqiao, Dashilan, and Bada Hutong.
What does it mean?
Civilian business culture!
There was only one street in the southern suburbs of the Zhengde Dynasty. The "Scribe Street" mentioned by Zhang Yun was just a small alley specializing in literati supplies.
This poor place is indeed managed by officials, but it is only limited to collecting taxes.
Do you want the government to go out of the city to manage public security?
I'm very sorry, but the city still can't take care of it.
Except for the relatively good public security in the capital during the reign of Hongzhi, the emperors after Zhu Di were in bad shape in other years.
Zhu Houzhao's Wu Zong Dynasty was especially nonsense. There were armored bandits in several counties around the capital. The smallest group had forty people, and the largest group had hundreds of people. The bandits even killed official officials and blocked the post roads out of the capital.
, the official documents of the imperial court could not be sent out, and they went to the capital to commit crimes during the day. This record occurred in the twelfth year of Zhengde, only six years ago.
The main reason is that the "police force" of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division is insufficient. They only have so few manpower, but they have to perform duties such as traffic police, criminal police, firefighting, and urban management. Even dredging ditches requires the efforts of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division.
A small yamen has little power but many responsibilities. There are also a bunch of parents-in-law on top. The central military capital, the rear military capital, the Jin Yiwei, the patrol battalion... they can order the military and horse divisions of the five cities to assist in doing things, and they are often subject to imperial orders.
History of impeachment.
All these things make Beijing’s “policemen” exhausted, so how can they still have the energy to do serious work?
By the way, public security incidents such as neighborhood disputes and fights are not under the control of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division... They can only passively assist the judicial department in handling cases, and are not allowed to take the initiative to arrest people without orders.
Wang Yuan beat several swindlers severely and dragged them back to get the silver coins. For such arrogant behavior, no one reported it to the official, but onlookers followed him along the way.
Among them, there are also gangsters from other forces mixed in.
"Oh, the sun is rising in the west. Chu Liuye's men are actually being exploited by outsiders."
"Would you like some help?"
"Help me, it would be better if Chu Liu was beaten to death."
"After all, we are all brothers from the capital city, but we can't let outsiders act mischievously. How can we fool around if word spreads?"
"I'll help you if you want, so don't involve me."
"..."
Wang Yuan led his men to escort the liar, followed by a bunch of onlookers, and soon they arrived at a private house.
"Is this here?" Wang Yuan asked.
"Well, well!" Mr. Xie nodded quickly.
Wang Yuan held the man in front and kicked open the door. Because it was bolted inside, the door shaft was broken by the kick.
A very small courtyard house.
Mr. Chu Liu was sitting in the courtyard, with six or seven people on each side, each holding a knife or a stick. It was obvious that he had already received the news.
"I don't know what kind of hero dares to come to the capital to ask for business." Mr. Chu Liu bowed first and then sent troops, smiling to himself, as if he wanted to handle the matter peacefully.
Wang Yuan sneered: "All those I arrested were your men?"
Mr. Chu Liu was still sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking very impressive, and he was saying: "Every matter in the world is easy to discuss. How do you want to solve it?"
Wang Yuan showed the written note: "I don't know about the world, I only know that someone owes money and refuses to pay it back. Five hundred taels of silver, if you pay the money, you will let him go. From now on, the water in the well will not be violated!"
Mr. Chu Liu smiled and said: "You hurt my person, and you still dare to ask me for money?"
"Repaying debts is a matter of course. I am the most reasonable person. I wrote five hundred taels in black and white on a piece of paper. I won't ask you for a penny more!" Wang Yuan said confidently.
A strong man in the courtyard, holding a stick that reached his eyebrows, said: "Master Chu, tell him what he did. Beat him half to death and throw him into the moat. Let's see if he can get up and survive."
"Beat half to death, right?"
Wang Yuan pushed Mr. Xie away from his hand, picked up the broken door panel on the ground, and swung it forward to make a semicircle. The gangsters quickly backed away and swatted away, just like swatting flies.
save trouble.
In an instant, the people in the courtyard fell on their backs and fled all over the ground as Wang Yuan slammed the door.
Mr. Chu Liu couldn't sit still. He and his chair overturned backwards. He hurriedly got up with the Yanling knife and yelled: "Prick your hands with ideas, shoulder to shoulder!"
More than a dozen gangsters armed with various weapons attacked Wang Yuan from all directions.
Wang Yuan just held the door panel and rushed forward. He had no other moves but sweeping back and forth. With his sword, gun and stick, he would directly knock the door panel away when it encountered it, and by the way, he would also knock the gangsters in the way staggering.
Mr. Chu Liuye insists on training all year round and lifts stone locks for an hour every day. After all, he can be regarded as a well-known hero in the capital. He has never been in such a fight, and his martial arts is of no use. The Yanling knife in his hand faced the door panel in an instant
be thrown off balance.
Moreover, Wang Yuan was chasing Master Chu Liu from beginning to end.
"Poof!"
Chu Liuye's knife was knocked away. He wanted to turn around and run away, but was hit in the back by the door panel and threw himself out.
"Hahaha!"
The onlookers outside the door burst into laughter.
Wang Yuan turned around and swept out a circle. Those gangsters who sneaked up from behind were instantly swept away by the door panel.
A young boy, a door panel, chasing a bunch of thugs across the yard.
Zhu Quan was dumbfounded: "This is a fierce general!"
Mr. Chu Liu rubbed his waist and got up, hid under the eaves, and said tremblingly: "This Qimen weapon is powerful and invincible. That man, Chu, admit defeat, don't fight again!"
Wang Yuan carried the door panel on his shoulders and took out the note from his arms: "Five hundred taels of silver, not a penny less!"
Mr. Chu Liu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it, just wait a moment."
"Wait!" Wang Yuan shouted.
"What else do you want?" Mr. Chu Liu asked.
Wang Yuan said to Zhang Mingyuan and Zhu Lun outside the door: "Tie up these gangsters!"
Chu Liuye was furious: "It's too much to bully others!"
Wang Yuan sneered and said: "It's okay if you don't cooperate, then I'll beat them all unconscious and then tie them up."
Mr. Chu Liu looked at the door panel and regretted that his house should not have a door. He said depressedly: "Okay, okay, you are awesome. You guys can tie it up slowly. I will go back to the house to get the money."
Chu Liuye dragged the Yanling knife and quickly entered the house. He pried open a few bricks under the bed, dug out a clay pot, climbed through the window and ran directly to the backyard - he didn't even care about his brothers, and wanted to take the belongings through the back door.
slip.
As soon as he opened the door, a chair flew from behind, knocking Mr. Chu Liu off his feet, and he almost dropped the jar containing gold and silver.
Wang Yuan rushed over quickly, grabbed the man by the collar, and punched him twice without any explanation, then grabbed the pot and yelled: "You are dishonest, you actually want to escape!"
Master Chu Liu knelt down and said with a mournful face: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life! Please leave some for me, this is my life savings."
Wang Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he dragged him back to the front yard and said in front of other gangsters: "This thief wants to escape, he is not righteous at all!"
The gangsters collectively looked at each other angrily. They didn't hate Wang Yuan at the moment, they all regarded Master Chu Liu as the enemy who killed his father.
Mr. Chu Liu fell to the ground in an instant. His reputation in the world was ruined and his property was robbed. He would no longer be able to survive in the capital.
Wang Yuan held the jar in one hand and took out the written certificate with the other, and said to everyone inside and outside: "I, Wang Er, are the most reasonable. Even if the money is recovered, the written certificate will not be kept. Fire Zhezi!"
Zhu Lun immediately took out the fire certificate and burned the documents with the Jin Lei handwriting.
Destroy corpses and eliminate traces.
"knock off!"
Wang Yuan carried the jar and left without bothering to report it to the official. He was about to take the test and didn't have much time to bother with the officials. Besides, these scammers had made a fool of themselves in public and had become the laughing stock of the industry. Don't expect to be successful in the future.
And that Mr. Chu Liu, haha, let them fight like dogs.
In fact, Wang Yuan also wanted to report to the official position at the beginning, otherwise he would not have tied up the scammers. As a result, Mr. Chu Liu actually took out the belongings himself and let Wang Yuan rob him. If he had money, he would be reported to the official position!
Wang Yuan walked out of the door, and the onlookers quickly made way, all staring at the jar in Wang Yuan's arms.
When Wang Yuan was far away, the gangsters from other families in the crowd started talking:
"Did Chu Liu's belongings be copied?"
"Damn it, Chu Liu is so dishonest, he actually wants to leave his brother and run away with the money!"
"Who knows the origin of this evil star?"
"No matter what his background is, he must be a hero. With such a big door panel, he dances like carrying grass. He must be an ordinary character like Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin"."
"He is gentle and polite, more like Wu Song."
"No, it's Lu Zhishen! Lu Zhishen uproots the weeping willows, he's very strong!"
"When I say Wu Song, it means Wu Song! Wu Erlang is also very strong."
"..."
Zhu Ning was standing not far outside the door. He had already seen Zhu Quan's thoughts and asked, "Master, do you want to take this person home?"
Zhu Quan smiled and said: "Give it to a hundred households first."
Zhu Ning raised his hand, and someone immediately came to wait. He gave the order: "Go to the room of the scholar surnamed Jin in the evening and tell him that Jin Yiwei is going to recruit his servants. Be careful and don't disturb others."
"Yes." The man disappeared quickly.
Zhu Quan is of course Zhu Houzhao. He has many vests, the most famous of which is the mighty general Zhu Shou.
Zhu Ning's real name was Qian Ning, the godson of Emperor Zhengde, who used to live with Eunuch Liu.
After Liu Jin's fall, Qian Ning not only was not liquidated, but was promoted to the commander of the Jin Yiwei as a blessing in disguise.
There are many such people, such as Yang Tinghe's younger brother Yang Tingyi, who relied on Liu Jincai to become the doctor of Wenxuan. As a result, when Liu Jin died, Yang Tingyi was promoted to Shaoqing of Taipu Temple (the fifth rank was jumped to the fourth rank).
Zhu Houzhao thought Wang Yuan was a servant of Jin Lei, so he wanted to recruit him into the Jinyi Guard as a member of the Hundred Household, and then take his son as an errand in the Leopard Room.
Since he was Zhu Houzhao's godson, his surname was naturally Zhu, and Wang Yuan should be renamed Zhu Yuan.
Last year Zhengde gave a number of adopted sons the surname Zhu, and next year they will be packaged and sold in a big sale. The original text of "Wuzong Shilu" records: "One hundred and twenty-seven adopted sons were all given the surname Zhu..."
Some of these godsons are eunuchs, some are guards, and some are people in the market.
Some of them simply came from Zhengde who came out of the palace incognito and met them casually on the streets of Beijing. When they saw the right person, they were summoned to Xiyuan to be their godson.
Moreover, the godsons of Emperor Zhengde were at least appointed as Qianhu or Baihu. "Wuzong Shilu" did not bother to record it in detail. It only listed a few names casually, added the word "etc." after them, and then said "all are Qianhu".
"Hundred households". Commanders and envoys, all commanders and envoys, and a large number of commanders and ministers, also "all occupy" a certain position.
If the official gives too little, it will be tantamount to losing the emperor’s father’s face!
When Zhengde accepted his sons, he still adhered to the principle of ethnic equality. For example, Zhu Cai, Zhu Jing, Zhu Man, and Zhu En were Mongolians. Their original names were: Caizhu'er, Tuohuo Chigan, that is, Ermandu, and suddenly
Bu Daohan were all promoted to Qianhu by the emperor's father.
Damn it, if you don’t just have a biological son, what the hell is the point of having hundreds of godsons?
