Chapter 83 Righteousness Hall
The third son of the thin man smiled awkwardly and said, "The young man knows that Balitang has a bad reputation. If you ask Mr. Chu to control everyone, it will make Mr. Chu embarrassed... But the young man is helpless. These people are used to being idle. Once they disperse, no one will really do the right thing, but they will only continue to do evil..."
Chu Huan stared at the face of the thin third child. After a while, she only made the thin third child feel uncomfortable. Finally, Chu Huan spoke and said, "What's your name?" [The latest updates are all in...]
The thin third son hurriedly said, "Little Ma Jing!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "What a Ma Jing. In Liujia Village that day, you saw that the situation was not good, so you turned around and left. At that time, I really thought you were a despicable villain who was unfaithful. But today, it seems that you are the most promising in Balitang."
In fact, the third thin man, Ma Jing, is seven or eight years older than Chu Huan, and is a middle-aged man in his thirties. However, when Chu Huan said this, it seems that an elder is praising his younger generation.
Ma Jing was stunned, not knowing what Chu Huan meant, and he was a little embarrassed.
Chu Huan said seriously: "Ma Jing, if you dare to come out to take responsibility in times of crisis, you are a little brave. Are you protecting the brothers under your command?"
Ma Jing was stunned and then smiled bitterly, "Master Chu...Master Chu is indeed wise." He paused and sighed, "Master Chu doesn't know that before my Balitang rise, the land domineering in Qingliu County was the group of Bai Xiaozi. Later, Xue... Xue Lang led us to conquer Bai Xiaozi's people, so they dared not cause trouble. However, Bai Xiaozi has a foundation in Qingliu County and has a group of people under his command. Mr. Xue was also worried that this Bai Xiaozi would jump over the wall to do some extreme things, so he did not force him into a dead end... Although this Bai Xiaozi is very low-key, he still has a force in Qingliu City...!"
When Chu Huan heard him say this, he knew that this blind man was definitely not a simple person. He thought he was also a tough person, otherwise Xue Lang would never have allowed another force to exist in the city.
"I understand!" Chu Huan said lightly: "You are worried that the blind man who is the one who is a blind man will come out to take revenge when the Bali Hall is disbanded!"
"That's right!" Ma Jing sighed: "In the first two years, in order to compete for territory with the people of Baibiao, they fought countless times. The brothers of Balitang formed a great hatred with the people of Baibiao... Once Balitang disperses, everyone will be filled with dragons... Hehe, there are snakes without heads, and Baibiao will inevitably come out to clean up one by one... In fact, many brothers of Balitang are all with their families. If they break their arms and legs, and lose their livelihoods, the young and old at home will...!" He did not continue, but just shook his head, with a look of worry.
Chu Huan laughed and said, "I really can't see that you have such knowledge. Ma Jing, I really underestimated you." After a pause, he said, "You are right. I can't do the leader of Balitang, and the name of Balitang cannot exist..."
Ma Jing showed a look of frustration and had not spoken yet, Chu Huan had already continued: "But your words are not without reason..."
Ma Jing's eyes lit up and he was a little excited: "Master Chu, what do you mean?"
"The Bali Hall cannot be found anymore, and in the future... call it Zhengqi Hall!" Chu Huan said slowly: "But I don't want to disband, but I can't be the same as before. If this title is changed, the rules must be changed!"
Ma Jing was stunned, "Zhengqitang?" But after Chu Huan's words, the people in Balitang could not be disbanded, and hurriedly said, "Master Chu, you are the boss of everyone, Bali... No, no, the rules of Zhengqitang are naturally determined by you!"
"The rules are very simple. You can never do anything like cheating and bullying the weak." Chu Huan said slowly: "As far as I know, Qingliu County can make a lot of money, such as building roads, paving bridges, urging canals, and building houses... These projects require people and have wages. You have connections in Qingliu County. If you go to organize these projects, you can naturally take them down. If you put in some effort, you will not lack the money to support your family."
Ma Jing was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Chu Huan knew that Ma Jing's words just now made some sense. If these rogues were really disbanded, they would definitely become restless people in Qingliu County, and the frauds would increase greatly.
Moreover, although this group of people is not a good person, many of them have families and have to support their families. They are used to cheating and only make a living by making a living. If they are disbanded without restraint, it will be a big trouble.
It would be a good thing to restrain these people in the name of Zhengqitang so that they will not commit evil unscrupulously.
Seeing Ma Jing's expression was a little disappointed, Chu Huan frowned slightly and said coldly: "What? Can't you keep this rule?"
Ma Jing shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't you dare..." He asked in a low voice: "Master Chu, has magistrate Hu really fallen? You also know that Xue... Xue Lang has always used magistrate Hu as his backer. When magistrate Hu fell, he lost contacts in the yamen. Many engineering counties are afraid that they will not leave it to us, and... and they are afraid that it will be detrimental to us!"
"You don't have to worry." Chu Huan said: "As long as you stop doing something wrong, I will naturally stand up. But I can say ugly things ahead. If there are still people who are lawless and bullying the weak, don't blame me for being polite!"
There was a chill in his tone, and Ma Jing hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Master Chu, I will continue to give you the instructions!"
Chu Huan nodded, thought for a while, and finally said, "But it's not just you, you, aren't the only ones in Qingliu City. If you restrain your voice, I'm afraid there are others who will take the opportunity to blackmail..."
"That's right!" Ma Jing's eyes became eager again.
Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. Since it's not disbanded, you will also help the government maintain the security of Qingliu City. Sometimes it is more convenient for you to come forward than the government. It is all for a livelihood. If someone makes trouble in various stores in the future, you will also come forward to take care of it, but you can't do anything wrong and extort like before. Although the hard work is inevitable, it must be just right. Get more big shops and less small shops...!"
Ma Jing's eyes lit up, and he was also a smart person. He whispered: "Don't worry, Master Chu, I will send you the money I collected every month on time..."
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Remember, if anyone bullies the weak, Xue Lang will be his fate."
"When will Mr. Chu move here?" Ma Jing hurriedly said: "I will send someone to clean up the place...!"
"No need." Chu Huan said lightly: "If you take care of Zhengqi Hall in the future, if you really have something big, just look for me again, I won't live here." After a pause, he looked around and sneered: "Xue Lang has taken you with you in the past few years, and the decorations here are really luxurious." Then his face darkened and he said: "Remember, I have sold all the valuable things here for me, and I can leave some necessary supplies... In recent years, you have exploited many people, and many of them are in trouble. You are planning on what to do, you know in your heart!"
Ma Jing immediately said solemnly: "Don't worry, Master Chu, I know how to do it. After selling the valuable things, I will return the money...!"
"Don't be fooled with me." Chu Huan said coldly: "I might as well tell you that I know all your tricks and tricks. If anyone plays tricks with me, I will never let him play tricks..." He looked at Ma Jing coldly, and Ma Jing shivered and bowed, saying, "Don't worry, Master Chu, I don't dare!"
Chu Huan stood up and said, "Xue Lang, please send someone to send him out of Yunshan Mansion immediately and tell him not to come back, so as not to seek humiliation." After that, he raised his foot and was about to leave.
Ma Jing hurriedly said, "Mr. Chu is leaving?"
"You have something to do?"
"Master Chu is walking, are there no horses?" Ma Jing smiled and said, "If Master Chu doesn't dislike it, you can go to the stables in the backyard. There are several horses there. Master Chu might as well choose one for transportation!"
When Chu Huan heard this, he pondered a little. He knew that the Qin Dynasty's horses were strictly controlled and could have a group of horses. This was a dream that many people could not afford. If he had a horse, it would be much more convenient in the future. This was equivalent to having a car in the era before he traveled through time.
He nodded, and Ma Jing hurriedly said, "I'll take you there!"
At that moment, Ma Jing led Chu Huan to the stables in the backyard. There were indeed five horses here, all of which were fat and long legs. You could tell at a glance that they were good horses with excellent endurance. These horses were naturally Xue Lang tried his best to collect them.
Chu Huan entered the stable and touched the horses very skillfully. Finally, he led a big black horse out. The black horse was extremely strong and looked very majestic. The horse's mane was lush and the whole body was shiny and black, and it was extremely smooth. Ma Jing had already raised his thumbs up and said, "Master Chu, it's really a good look. Among these five horses, this horse is the most expensive. Xue Lang also spent a lot of money to get it. It has excellent foot strength and very fast speed!"
Chu Huan smiled faintly and gently stroked the horse's face. His expression seemed very soft, and he actually looked very loving to the horse.
What else Ma Jing wants to say, but Chu Huan said: "You have left Zhengqitang to take care of. How to take care of it is better than me. It's just the rules I set. I advise you not to forget it, otherwise...!"
Ma Jing shivered and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Master Chu, please remember the words of Mr. Chu in your heart!" He said, "Mr. Chu has fallen in love with this horse, so I will go to the yamen to go through the procedures later and pass the horse to Master Chu's name."
Chu Huan was not long-winded and turned on the horse. His movements were very skillful and flexible, and it seemed that he was a person who often rode horses. Ma Jing saw it and was amazed. He didn't expect that Chu Huan looked like a poor boy in the countryside, but also had excellent horsemanship.
He was flexible and quickly walked over and opened the backyard gate. Chu Huan was about to leave. Ma Jing seemed to think of something and hurriedly said, "Master Chu later!" He hurried away. While Chu Huan was puzzled, Ma Jing quickly returned, took a small bag and handed it over. Chu Huan took it and opened it. There were five or six golden leaves inside.
Chu Huan knew that in this era, real gold was extremely expensive. These five or six gold leaves were worth at least five or six hundred taels of silver, and they were a huge sum of money. Ordinary people would never have so much money in their lifetime.
Chu Huan hesitated for a moment, and finally stuffed the bag into his arms. Without saying anything, he shook the reins of the horse and walked forward, walked out of the backyard gate, and entered an alley. Chu Huan turned west and rode his horse.
Before he reached the intersection, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Master Chu...Master Chu wait..."
Chu Huan held the horse and turned around, but saw a man running towards him. Looking at his figure, he was the Sun Zikong who led him to Debalitang.
