Pay five taels first. These two people with unknown origins are very likely to take the money and disappear. However, Zhang Ning doesn't care about the five taels. The 200 taels red envelope given by Xie Juan last time has not been touched much, so there is no shortage of money for the time being.
, what is urgently needed is someone who can be used. However, the young and old are probably not reliable. He is considered to be in a critical condition and seeks medical treatment. Let’s try it first. Test his ability and his character before making further plans. Even if he is in a critical condition, he seeks medical treatment.
Don’t be too impatient when seeking medical treatment.
There happened to be two umbrellas. When he went out, Han Wu took two of them. Ordinary oil-paper umbrellas are very common. Zhang Ning took them and left. Unexpectedly, the reverse umbrella came into use at this time. He handed one over: "Little lady, take it."
Protect your grandpa from the rain."
They didn't refuse, so Zhang Ning asked again: "What do you call Mr. Old?"
The old man said: "Just call me Lao Xu."
"Do it this way to save trouble. I'll give you ten taels of silver at a time. Once the matter is done, wait for me at Ding's Pier in the north of the city and give me an explanation." Zhang Ning said calmly.
"Oh?" The old man was a little surprised.
Zhang Ning's face was covered by the umbrella, and he smiled bitterly to himself. At most, ten taels of silver were wasted, and it was easier for money to come and go. If they took the money and left, it would save them the trouble of trying again.
He simply reached into his sleeve and took out a banknote, and handed it out: "Ten taels, you can keep the money first, or you can go to the bank to exchange hard goods first before doing anything."
The old man took the things and said after a moment: "The notes from Chase Bank are real. What is the man's name, where does he live, and what does he generally look like?"
"Sun Erbao, known as the Second Master, is a bad boy. Don't be lenient." Zhang Ning described this person's characteristics and some information. Who is Sun Erbao? Anyway, he has no grievances with Zhang Ning.
During the festival, he is also a frequent visitor to Biyuan. He is the son of a salt merchant. His family background is quite different from that of industry giants, but he is still considered a playboy.
He deserved that this guy might get beaten for no reason. Zhang Ning really didn't like him very much. When we were having tea and listening to a play in Biyuan, this guy once teased an actor. She sat down and played and sang, but he didn't listen and moved his hands and feet.
It looked annoying. But that was not an important matter. Zhang Ning chose him just because he thought he was more agreeable to the conditions: he had followers and thugs around him, and he was not very powerful in Yangzhou. Even if the matter was exposed, the Sun family would not be able to move Zhang Ning.
It’s a small holiday, and I’ll find a way to fool around with it when the time comes.
After Zhang Ning described it, he couldn't help but remind him again: "Be careful when you start."
"I understand." The old man who called himself Lao Xu said, "We'll do the work tomorrow and meet at Ding's Pier at sunset. If the person named Sun doesn't go out tomorrow, we can't call him. We'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
Why do we still need to meet after everything is over? The old man didn’t ask. He just accepted the money and just followed the request of the donor... Or maybe he just took the money and ran away, asking questions for what?
Zhang Ning added: "No matter what happens, don't expose me. That Sun Erbao and I are familiar with each other."
The old man smiled and said, "Young master, you can rest assured." The little lady interjected, "My grandfather's promise to you is worth more than these ten taels of silver notes. Don't look down on others just because we are poor now."
"People should not be judged by their appearance." Zhang Ning said calmly, "If I look down on someone, what should I do if I give him money first?"
The old man said: "That's it, see you later." After saying that, he turned around and left with the little girl. Zhang Ning did not follow him this time.
Zhang Ning walked back alone to change clothes. After calming down, he felt that what happened today was indeed a bit outrageous. The ten taels of silver were probably wasted. He couldn't blame himself. At that time, he saw the old man subduing a strong man with one move and facing several people.
The big man's expression did not change, but he suddenly became a little excited, and it was inevitable that he would do what happened next.
After bathing and changing clothes, he stayed in the yard for a long time and rested as usual in the evening. The next day, he went to Biyuan to listen to a play and meet and chat with Xie Jun. He didn't think much about Lao Xu, but he was worried about it.
I had little hope.
Unexpectedly, when he and Xie Juan were having dinner at noon, Xie Juan said happily: "Sun Erbao, whom you know, got a good beating as soon as he went out this morning! I happened to have some free time in the morning, so I went to see him, which made me laugh so hard.
My face is swollen like a pig's face."
Zhang Ning made a sound in his heart and said with a smile: "Don't you think even my mother wouldn't recognize him?"
Xie Juan was stunned for a moment, burst out laughing, nodded and said: "It's a coincidence, sir, that even his mother can't recognize him, and his face is deformed. I don't know who did it."
An old man and a young man rushed out from the diagonal ground, wearing straw hats and covering their faces. The Shaolin lay disciples who usually blew loudly beside him were immediately thrown down and unable to get up. Sun Erbao was pushed over and was given a beating... Haha,
I guess, this guy usually likes to flirt with women, but he may have made someone angry by being frivolous with some young daughter-in-law in his words."
"No, I remember he touched the actor's chin in our Biyuan." Zhang Ning said with a smile.
After lunch, Zhang Ning already felt that the two men were a bit interesting, so he came up with another drama at the last minute. He left Biyuan and went to the Yangzhou Prefecture Office for a rare occasion. With the title of Yangzhou Prefecture Judge hanging on his head, he said
To be honest, he only came here once when he was receiving his salary. He rarely came on weekdays, and no one paid attention to him. He was a rare visitor.
He swaggered past Xiaoqiang, which was engraved with a monster swallowing the sun. When he was bored, he asked Xie Jun about this pattern and realized that it turned out to mean that the greed of people is as fierce as a monster, even wanting to swallow the sun, and warned officials to overcome their selfish desires.
, pay attention to moral integrity... Although everyone's moral integrity has long been dropped on the floor.
Just after passing Xiao Qiang, he met Ma Batou. Ma Batou looked at Zhang Ning, but he didn't recognize him as an official in the government. Seeing Zhang Ning nodding to him with a kind smile, Ma Batou had no choice but to nod in response.
, passed by.
Zhang Ning only heard a voice behind him whisper: "Judge Zhang." Then Ma Catou suddenly said "Oh": "Today is not the day to receive salary, is it?"
At this time, Zhang Ning suddenly turned around with a smile. Ma Batou clasped his fists and said, "I've seen Judge Zhang."
"You're on duty now. Ma Captou will bring some brothers to help me do something?" Zhang Ning helped him and slipped a silver coin from his sleeve into his hand. Ma Captou hesitated: "Is this... arresting someone?
?Without a ticket, it will be difficult to talk when the time comes."
"I know, the main thing is too small, otherwise I would just go and ask for a vote from your Majesty and get the right person." Zhang Ning said helplessly, "It's really hard to get up and down. No matter what, my friend over there can't win the favor."
Ma Baotou listened to what he said with ease. Holding the silver in his hand, he asked, "What are you talking about?"
"A friend of mine was beaten up, and it was just a few superficial injuries..."
Hearing this, Ma Baotou showed a smile on his face. What a big deal. A fight on the street. The policeman would take him to the neighbor's official shop and imprison him for a day or two. I would let him go. If his family was willing to pay him, he would be imprisoned.
It also saves the time to release the person directly, even if he is not qualified to see the official. Ma Baotou nodded happily without any pressure and said: "I understand the humble position, I will go with Judge Zhang to arrest the person next time, and the official shop where the person is arrested will be locked up.
.However, I don’t think it’s appropriate to come back and vent my anger on him. He’s injured and said we have a private torture chamber. It’s a big problem. It’s okay to ask someone to scare him with words.”
"Sure." Zhang Ning turned around calmly and pointed to the teahouse across the street from Fuqian, "I'll drink tea at the door and wait for the brothers. Then I'll go straight to pick up the person and lock him up for one day before releasing him."
Zhang Ning premeditated a farce, which was basically a fool's errand, but it was not unnecessary. The old man and the young man fulfilled their promise and beat the person, but they still didn't understand enough, so it wouldn't be troublesome to try again. In case of this,
It doesn't matter if there are any extraneous problems, because Sun Erbao himself is not a character who cannot be dealt with. In short, he can get over it no matter what.
It's not a big problem to mess around now, but it will be a big problem if something goes wrong when actually doing things. There is no way, Zhang Ning's choice is too small now, he has to give up or take risks. The two powers are at odds with each other. He can only weigh the pros and cons and rely on himself.
Judgment and decision... How many things in this world can be completely prepared and foolproof?
At Youshi, Zhang Ning went to the Fuqian Street Tea House alone. Although the sky was gray and drizzling, and the sun was not visible, it was not far from "sunset time". If old Xu and his grandson went back, they should arrive at the pier in a while.
When he saw the horse catching the head, Zhang Ning explained: "Brothers, change your clothes first. After changing, go directly to Ding's wharf and set up the formation. I will find a carriage and go over to keep an eye on it. When someone comes to point the horse to the head, everyone
We immediately started arresting people. One was old and the other was young. The younger one was a girl. The older one had a piano on his back and kept an eye on it."
After the instructions were given, Zhang Ning hired a car and went straight to Dingjia Pier. If the grandfather and grandson did not break their promise, they would definitely fall into the trap. Even Lao Jianghu did not expect to be plotted at this time. For no other reason, the financial owner
Why do you want to plot against them? What is your motive? After all, there are very few people in the world who are full of food and spend a lot of money to fool around.
At this time, people are more accustomed to resting after sunrise and sunset. At this time, it is almost time to go home for dinner and prepare to rest. However, there are still many people on the pier. There is a cargo ship docked there, many porters are unloading, and there are many people on the road.
Pedestrians passed by and there were several boats, large and small, floating on the river, making the scene a bit mixed.
Zhang Ning asked the groom to stop at a distance and check the situation. The light rain continued continuously, neither itching nor painful, but there was no sign of a clear sky.
