The two people raised their heads to look at Liu Haojia. When they saw the badge around his waist, the person being supported raised his hand and said, "I've seen Shangguan! We are the school captains of Qipan Street Hundred Household Office. Isn't this Shangguan's surname Liu?"
Liu Haojia said: "My surname is indeed Liu, but I don't know how you knew it?"
The man being supported tried to stand up straight and said: "I heard from the superiors yesterday that the second son of Uncle Gu Ning's Mansion is going to report to the Hundred Households Office, so I am bold enough to make a guess!"
Liu Haojia said: "That's it! I don't know what to call you two? And how did you end up like this?"
The speaker said: "The villain's name is Yu Weili, and he is a school captain in Baihu School. This is my good brother, his name is Zhao Mingyang!"
Liu Haojia nodded to show that he remembered, and said: "You haven't said what happened to you yet?"
Zhao Mingyang spat and said: "It's nothing serious, just a fight with the county government officials. There are many of them, so I haven't fought yet!"
Liu Haojia said in surprise: "Why did you confront the people from the county government?"
Yu Weili said: "It's not just about collecting money!"
Then Yu Weili explained the whole story to Liu Hao's family. It turned out that while Jinyiwei was in charge of patrolling the streets, they also collected money from various merchants. To put it bluntly, it was just extortion! And it wasn't just them who collected money, the county government officials also
, and the soldiers of the civilian army who patrol the streets often extort money from various merchants! However, the main source of revenue for the civilian army is city fees, and the money collected on the streets is less.
Except for part of this money being squandered by themselves, most of it has to be handed over to the officials at the higher level. Even if this money is used to make up for the shortcomings in the funds of various yamen, of course, a large part of it goes into private pockets. So these are
The yamen with the power to patrol the streets regard blackmailing merchants and ordinary people as a way to make money!
But then a problem arises. Everyone has the right to patrol the streets, so they will inevitably bump into each other when collecting money! Once they bump into each other, the two parties will inevitably have a quarrel, and even end up fighting!
I thought it was just one of the many fights today, but this time there were only a few guards in royal robes, so they were beaten up!
In fact, the Jin Yiwei was originally powerful and was specially used to monitor officials. How dare ordinary officials allow their subordinates to go against the Jin Yiwei! But the highest officer of the Jin Yiwei was Liu Shouyou! Because he had taken refuge with Zhang Juzheng, he tried his best to restrain his subordinates!
The officers' superiors belong to the civil service system, so naturally they are no longer afraid of the Jin Yiwei! Especially in the capital, the power of the civil servants is the most powerful, so the officers are naturally very powerful! What's more, each officer has several helpers and a small number of Jin Yiwei.
Naturally, you will suffer a loss!
As for the people's army patrolling the streets, they always form teams of soldiers. When fighting comes with a large number of people, they always have the upper hand. What's more, they have the support of nobles and nobles behind them, so they are not afraid that no one will make the decision.
The civil servants hated having people spying on them, and always wanted to disband the Jin Yiwei, so they were rude to the Jin Yiwei! If the Jin Yiwei made the slightest move, they would impeach them in the court. At the same time, the civil servants had been fighting with the nobles for many years, and they knew that they could not defeat the nobles, so both sides had
We have a tacit understanding, and we will always fight without breaking up! Naturally, the following people will learn from each other and will not really break up.
In this way, they felt that collecting money from three families was better than collecting money from two, so they had been targeting Jin Yiwei together, so that when the three parties fought, seven or eight times out of ten, Jin Yiwei suffered the loss! But Liu Shouyou refused to take the place of his subordinates.
People make the decision, and those below will have to suffer the consequences of being dumb!
After telling the whole story, Yu Weili cursed loudly: "These damn civil servants are not good birds! When the Jin Yiwei went out to collect money and arrest people, they said we were running rampant in the market and oppressing good people! When their subordinates collect money, they treat it as a watch.
See you! Could it be that their servants do not accept payment, so they oppress the kind people? They have done more than us!"
Liu Haojia said: "Those civil servants are self-contained and have always looked down on us military men. Naturally they will try to trick us when they get the chance! Forget it, let's not talk about this. I have horses here, so you two can mount up and walk for a while!"
Naturally, two people were happy to have a horse to ride on. With the help of Liu Haojia, the censor and the others rode a horse together and walked slowly towards the Baihu Office. The three of them talked and laughed along the way, and their relationship got a lot closer!
There is a reason why the two of them dare to talk to Liu Haojia like this and are not afraid of his Xiaoqi identity. Because they feel that they are just ordinary captains with their own superiors. They can't assign Liu Haojia to work under them, so naturally they also
There is a lack of respect.
When they arrived at the gate of Baihusuo, two people jumped off their horses. Yu Weili said: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your help! There is a stable on the right side of the door. Your horse can be stored there."
After Liu Haojia thanked him, they separated. When Liu Haojia settled his horses and went to the main hall to report, he heard someone roaring loudly in the main hall: "You two idiots, you were beaten again! You just lost us.
Baihusuo’s face!”
Then I heard Zhao Mingyang say: "Sir, it's not that our brothers don't work hard, it's because there are so many people on the other side!"
Liu Haojia knew that the master Zhao Mingyang was talking about was Wu Liangcai, the official of the Baihu Office! According to the information he had learned, Wu Liangcai was a pretty good man and did not treat his subordinates harshly.
At this time, I heard Wu Liangcai shout: "There are many of them, so why don't you ask a few more people to go!"
I heard Yu Weili say loudly: "Sir, we would like to ask a few more brothers to go, but everyone is scattered in all directions, where can we find people? Besides, none of the brothers in this area are willing to go, so we can't get together at all.
Get up!"
Wu Liangcai was heard shouting loudly: "Okay, okay, I don't want to see you two, get out of here!"
Liu Haojia knew that the training inside was over, so he raised his hands to the soldiers standing outside the door and said: "Please let this brother report, and tell Xiaoqi Liu Haojia to come and report!"
The soldier glanced at the badge on his waist and pushed the door directly in. Then Yu Weili and two others came out. Before the three people could say hello, the soldier who had reported the news came out and said: "Sir, please let me know."
You go in!"
Liu Haojia bowed his hands to the three people, raised his legs and entered the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, he raised his eyes and saw a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain hanging on the wall of the main hall! There was a strong man sitting under the picture, who looked to be in his forties.
He looks like a man with a beard and piercing eyes! Looking at his thick muscles and bones, he really looks like a tiger sitting there!
Liu Haojia, who had experienced war, knew that this man had really seen blood, so he couldn't help but straighten his body and hold the handle of the knife tightly!
The person sitting on the chair is Wu Liangcai from Qipan Street. He originally didn't care about Liu Haojia's arrival. He thought he was just another dandy who came to take free money!
