Chapter 53: Fighting Tigers in the City
"Wang Damao, six cents." One of the subordinates of Master Hu asked Wang Damao to collect six cents. Originally, the group of people were about to go to the next stall, but Master Hu, who was above the top, took a look in the crowd and saw Wang Damao's hare.
Master Hu said, "This rabbit is good."
The subordinate understood and immediately went over and took it.
Wang Damao was anxious. This rabbit was the hope of two children wearing new clothes. It was not that he was not hardworking, farming, working as a bricklayer, and collecting firewood, but he couldn't stand the money. The mother above was in poor health and the child below was still young. She had some minor illnesses every now and then. The couple was reluctant to eat or wear them, but they just had enough to make a living.
"Master Hu, Master Hu, you are very proud. I am going to sell the rabbit to the child to change clothes." Wang Damao stopped him and refused to leave.
Master Hu ignored Wang Damao and continued to charge. His two subordinates quit and pointed at Wang Damao's scalp and said, "Okay, Wang Damao, don't want it? Good life is enough. Master Hu is in a good mood. He treats you a rabbit and looks down on you. You're just talking nonsense."
"You see, I will catch a few hares for Master Hu after the New Year. This rabbit needs to change the clothes for the child." Wang Damao also said.
"Ba, bha." Two slaps hit Wang Damao.
The clay Buddha was still angry, not to mention that Wang Damao was not a clamp by Niba. He immediately got angry and swung his big fist and hit him. The two men of Hu Ye were not the opponent of Wang Damao who had been doing physical work for a long time. He was knocked over on the spot. He also stabbed the hornet's nest. When Hu Ye saw someone dared to hit his subordinates, he greeted him and more than a dozen green skins came over. He pressed Wang Damao and beat him up, which made him bloody and then stopped.
There were hundreds of people watching the excitement in Dashahe Market, and no one dared to persuade him.
Master Hu stepped on Wang Damao with big feet and said, "I have the final say in Dashahe Market. From now on, you will not be allowed to step into this market. You will be beaten once every time you see it."
"Scatter, the yamen handle the case." At this moment, a loud shout was heard, and dozens of constables rushed over with water and fire sticks. Zhang Tie and dozens of people came. The water and fire sticks were smashed at the head. Master Hu bent and avoided, and rushed out with his waist.
"Go back, you." Two big black men in constable clothes blocked Mr. Hu's way, and gently kicked Mr. Hu and went back backwards. These two big black men were no one else, but Li Kui and Zhang Dadan. The two of them jointly took action, and Mr. Hu had no chance of running away.
From Master Hu to his dozens of subordinates, he almost grabbed him, tied his hands with iron chains and started to take heed.
At this time, Wu Song rode a tall horse, followed by Luo Ping and Mao Hai.
Wu Song said to the group watching the fun: "Don't panic. I am Wudutou, Yanggu County. After many days of open and secret investigations, I found that there was a thug called Fat Tiger in this market, so I came to arrest him. From tomorrow, the market will be collected from the yamen management, and the sanitation fee of each stall will still be 2 ounces, and no other fees will be charged."
Wu Song waved his hand and asked the constables to escort Fat Tiger and his gang to the county jail, first arresting the prison, and then handing the evidence to the county magistrate Su. How to judge it is his business.
"Okay, okay, great." The people cheered.
Wu Song said: "This fat tiger bullies the good and does a lot of bad things. Whoever was beaten and extorted by him? Go to the yamen to record the confession to the yamen, so as to be the basis for the fat tiger's case. Otherwise, if we arrest it, it will be in vain. If there is no evidence, we have to release people."
"I'll testify, I'll testify." Wang Damao covered the wound on his head and got up from the ground, his face full of grievances.
It was easy to deal with someone who led the way, and immediately fifty or sixty vendors wanted to go to the yamen to testify.
Wu Song turned over and dismounted, took the golden sore medicine and handed it to Wang Damao, and said, "Man, stop the bleeding first, and then wrap it in gauze."
Wang Damao has all skin trauma, so it’s nothing big, just bandage it.
Wu Song said: "You are just when you are old and young. You may not be able to make a living by chopping wood. Tongda car dealers often recruit workers. You can go and see if you have time. Remember that men should use sweat to win applause, instead of using tears to win sympathy."
Wang Damao thanked Wu Song, sold firewood, and then went to the yamen to testify.
There was a gambling workshop in Huijin Building in Yanggu County. There were several tables full of gamblers, and the boss Dajinya's face was full of joy.
He asked the thug around him, "How was the guy who owed money yesterday? Is the money back?"
"Boss, don't worry, that boy refused to give money, and sold his fifteen-year-old girl to the brothel of Ximen Daguanren, and got twenty taels of silver." said the thug.
At this time, three more gamblers came, but the two gamblers were not lucky and lost money in a few minutes. Then they looked at Dajinya and went out. Another gambler was young and didn't play much, so he was looking around.
Wu Song was waiting in the alley not far outside.
"I've heard it all. We're arresting Da Jinya and his thugs this time. Don't arrest the gambler. I'll take Zhang Tie and Luo Ping and twenty people in to arrest people. Li Kui and Zhang Dadan led a large group of people to wait outside. Remember, there are several murder cases under this Da Jinya's men. Once they start, they threaten their lives and can kill them. There is another discipline that emphasizes that the seized property must be handled by Gui Gong. Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to steal money in the action. I Wu Song knows you, but my knife doesn't know you." Wu Song arranged.
"I understand." Everyone said.
"Operation." Wu Song waved his hand and surrounded the large group of people. Wu Song personally led the team straight to the gambling house. Seeing the constable coming with great force, the two thugs at the gate immediately closed the door and locked the door.
"Luo Ping, hit the door." With Wu Song's order, Luo Ping's 60-pound tiger slap rounded and slammed into the middle of the door. The latch broke like crisp French fries, and the two thugs behind the door were directly shaken away.
Zhang Tie went in with a waist knife, and the cavalry came in one after another. Some thugs dared to move around, so they directly cut over the waist knife, and they all became honest. The gamblers drove away, and they were in chaos.
A thug leader shouted: "We are a regular gambling house and pay taxes according to the rules. Why should we arrest people?"
Wu Song slapped his teeth and flew over, cursing: "You are cheating and cheating gamblers. Ultimate loans are ten times the upper limit stipulated by the imperial court. If you can't afford to pay back the money, you will chop your hands and steal people. Are you the regular law? You are all tied up."
More than a dozen thugs and dealers were arrested. Only the big gold teeth were not seen. At this time, the short gambler who had just come in came. It turned out to be a hairy child.
Mao Hai said: "Du Tou, Da Jinya escaped into the wall of the leather."
The hairy boy lowered his business and said to Wu Song: "The walls are full of silver, and there are at least tens of thousands of taels."
Wu Song said: "Zhang Tie, hand over the caught thug dealer to Li Kui, Zhang Tie, and let them take them to the prison first."
