Chapter 658
Seeing the prosperity of the Ming Empire under their rule, the two old foxes Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan were very happy. They talked about telling the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but they selectively forgot that the Ming Empire now had no emperor.
This is a very strange thing. Since the beginning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, this is the first time in the land of China that there has been no boss for a long time.
If in the past, there was no emperor for three years, there would be many people in the world who would be called lonely and widowed. Now in the whole world, no one dares to stand up and say that he wants to be the emperor.
The scholars were also very obedient. When Zhu Yihai just died, someone wrote a letter suggesting that the court establish a new king as soon as possible. Of course, the rhetoric was still clichés such as a country cannot live without a king for a day. No one said it now, not a single one.
Some people secretly discussed the possibility of recommending Li Xiao to be the emperor. When Zheng Zhilong and the old guys came to the hospital to see Li Xiao, they even talked about it. They were very disappointed. Li Xiao didn't seem to have any intention of becoming the emperor.
This is a bit strange. Since you refuse to be emperor, who will do it? Sun Chengzong?
The old man will be seventy after the Chinese New Year. It is very rare for people to live seventy years old. It is hard to say how many more years they can live. However, there were several nephews and nephews in the Sun family who had some small tricks in private, and they were all sent back to their hometown to farm and study by Sun Chengzong.
As the saying goes, you can't do what you want to do, and you don't want to do what you can do.
Sun Chengzong was in charge of government affairs, and Li Xiao, with the help of Zhang Huangyan, was in charge of military affairs. The three people existed harmoniously in this world, and there was no voice of struggle for power and profit. Sun Chengzong was in charge of the affairs of the army. Except for the selection of the main local governor, Li Xiao also never
Do not interfere in government affairs.
The Harmony Iron Triangle walked around Sijiu City with their hands behind their backs, sometimes walking in the streets, sometimes walking in the alleys. When the mood came, each of them bought a bunch of candied haws and ate them.
Cold sweat broke out on the heads of Sun Zhijie and Shunzi. As soon as these three people left, the soldiers of the guard group took away the candied haws seller. If these three people were poisoned and died, the candied haws seller would definitely be chopped into pieces.
Xinma arrived at the Dongsi Archway and saw a mutton-shabu restaurant. Eating a mutton-shabu meal in the winter was simply the ultimate enjoyment. The three of them began to discuss eating the mutton-shabu, and they differed on whether to eat it here or to eat it in Donglaishun.
Li Xiao insisted that the mutton in Donglaishun was sent by the Mongols, and its quality was guaranteed.
Sun Chengzong said that it was too troublesome to have to take a carriage, so he might as well sit here and have a meal. Judging from the appearance of this restaurant, the meat should be of good quality.
Zhang Huangyan held his hands and said nothing, as if he was sitting on a mountain watching a tiger fight.
As I was talking, I suddenly heard someone shouting in the alley ahead, and there seemed to be a woman crying faintly drifting over with the cold wind.
The three people looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Walking into the alley, the three of them all took a breath of cold air. The two streets here have turned into ruins, looking as if they had just experienced a war. A few tile-roofed houses stood alone, with a lantern hanging in the middle of the yard.
There seems to be a dead person in the shed.
Surrounding the courtyard, there were people on three levels inside and three outside. There were hundreds of people in the crowd, and you could hear people yelling and cursing intermittently.
The three people looked at each other again, and the shanty town was demolished.
This is a good thing that is beneficial to the people. The houses where the people live are demolished and buildings are built on the original sites. Some of the buildings are enlarged according to the original house area and returned to the people.
Another part of the building is used for sale.
Jingzhao Prefecture can collect taxes in the process of buying and selling land, and developers who build houses can make money. As for ordinary people, they don't have to live in such a place where sewage flows across the land and is infested with mosquitoes and flies.
Kill three birds with one stone! A win-win situation, I don’t know how it happened today.
Li Xiao supported Sun Chengzong and walked over on broken bricks and tiles. Sun Zhijie and Shunzi hurriedly called on a few big guys to clear the way in front, but they did not dare to crowd the three uncles.
With a strong man opening the way, the journey will naturally be smooth. Someone turned around and wanted to curse, but when he saw the tall man and the body of a bear, he immediately retracted his head. Fortunately, he did not curse just now.
Pushing their way to the front of the crowd, there were dozens of big men in the middle. They wore their hats crookedly and held shovel and pickaxe handles in their hands, pointing at the mourning hall in the yard and shouting curses.
"What a fool! Aren't people just dead? Damn it, there is no day in this world where people don't die. Wait until you have passed the first seven days. I think it will be enough to burn your head for seven days next month."
"That's right! It's next month after burning the first seven days. Your family is fine. How can our brothers explain to the superiors. Move quickly! Move damn quickly! If the construction period is delayed, some more area will be deducted from your house."
"Boss! If you hold it down any longer, it will turn into an urn."
"It's just like the one inside, there isn't even a whole body."
"Hahaha!"
Li Xiao frowned. According to northern folklore, after a person dies, the first seven days are the night of rebirth. Burning the first seven days is a big deal for the deceased. In order to complete the above errands for themselves, these people are so unkind and even play tricks
The family members of the deceased are indeed a bit excessive!
Looking further into the courtyard, I saw a young woman supporting an old woman. At the young woman's feet, there were two children wearing sackcloth and mourning. The children were very small, no more than five or six years old. Their little faces were blown red by the cold wind.
, two pairs of eyes looked at those ferocious people in horror.
"My son died fighting with the Mongolian Tatars in the northwest. If you dare to smash the mourning hall and bully us orphans and widowed mothers today, I will kneel in front of the Marshal's Mansion and cry out for injustice. See if the Marshal will chop you down.
brain.
Before my old man died in the battle, many of his comrades had already been promoted." The old woman was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her fingers trembled like a stroke while pointing at these gangsters.
"Promoted? Okay! Can you come and have a look? To tell you the truth, this land was developed by our Master Mao. Do you know Master Mao? He is famous and the eldest son of Master Mao, the principal of the Army Military Academy.
Of all the Liao army officers in the world, which one is not a disciple of our Lord Mao? Even if you sue the commander-in-chief, will the commander-in-chief fall out with our Lord Mao for petty people like you? Humph! You old man who doesn’t know how to die, I will
I’m asking you, do you want to move today or not?” A guy with goldfish eyes pointed at the old woman.
"I won't move! If I don't move for the first seven days, I can't let my son's soul come back and find a home." The old woman's tears were blown by the cold wind and smeared on her face, while her daughter-in-law and children began to sob.
"Okay, don't move! Just demolish this shabby house for me. Let me tell you, Widow Wang, your family won't get a house in this demolition."
Before those holding pickaxes and shovels could do anything, several guys holding bricks had already thrown them over.
As luck would have it, a brick hit the urn.
"Crash!" The jar of ashes was knocked over, and the ashes fell to the ground and broke into eight pieces.
The ashes leaked out of the urn and were immediately blown everywhere by the cold wind. The old woman, the young woman and the two children rushed forward crying, blocking the cold wind with their bodies to prevent the ashes from being blown away.
The shrill cries of the woman and child echoed in the cold wind. People watching shook their heads and sighed, but no one dared to go up and seek justice. After all, Mao Wenlong's reputation was still a bluff.
For a few years, Mao Wenlong's status was not much different from that of Sun Chengzong. Especially the first few students of the military academy were brought out by him. Although he retired due to the Meridian Gate Incident, he was still very important in the eyes of the people.
A very big official.
Li Xiao snorted coldly. He didn't expect that the plot in "Wolf Warrior" would actually appear under his rule. And it was damn exactly the same. It was just a cold front.
Leng Feng is there! Shunzi rushes over with seven or eight people. These people are all specially recruited from Cangzhou. They are all people with real kung fu, far beyond the comparison of these street gangsters.
After a period of howling and screaming, the gangsters all lay down on the ground and screamed "Ouch" and "Ouch" and couldn't get up. This was because the agents of the secret service company were cautious. Since they were not allowed to use guns, they were allowed to live for the time being.
.
"Fuck! Whose trouser pockets are not fastened tightly, and you are exposed. Why, I want to hug you, but it won't be fair. Believe it or not, I will hand a note to the master of Jingzhao Mansion and put you all in jail."
Goldfish looked at Shunzi and the others, not only not afraid, but also very arrogant.
"Hmph! We are from the Liao Army Guard Corps and are not under the control of the Jingzhao Mansion." Sun Zhijie shouted. He was a student in the first batch of the Army Officer School, and Mao Wenlong was good to them at the beginning. He said this to remind the idiot in front of him,
He can't afford to offend these people.
Goldfish rolled his eyes, not understanding the meaning of Sun Zhijie's words at all.
"Of the Guard Corps? What's so great about being in the Guard Corps? When Commander Sun sees my master, you have to call him the principal. Get out of here, or I will hand a note to Commander Sun and fire you all."
Let you go home and take your children." Goldfish pointed at Sun Zhijie and shouted loudly.
Sun Zhijie shook her head helplessly. The Mao family had really done something wrong to produce such an arrogant and blind servant. It seemed that the Mao family's decline was irreversible.
"Ha! It turns out he is the son of President Mao's family. I didn't know that the eldest son is here. Let me pay him a visit." Sun Zhijie did not dare to speak anymore, but Li Xiao stood up and looked at the goldfish with a sinister smile.
Goldfish looked Li Xiao up and down. He looked like he was dressed like a servant, but not like one. The feeling was indescribable!
"Who are you?" Jinyu looked at Li Xiao with strange eyes.
"I'm also from the Guard Corps."
"Hmph! These people are all your men, tell your men to get out of here. Otherwise, I...! Oops."
Before Jinyuyan finished speaking, Lianshan slapped Shunzi in the mouth. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, there was an extra tooth on his palm.
"You! If you dare to hit me, you are dead. I tell you, you are dead. See if I don't find someone to catch you!" Goldfish was beaten in the eyes, pointed at Shunzi, and slipped away to prepare to escape.
"Let him go. I want to see if this land belongs to the eldest son of the Mao family. Could it be that someone is pretending to be his name?"
"You wait for me, you will be dead when our eldest young master comes." Jinyuyan was still shouting. When he saw Shunzi coming to chase him, he immediately ran away, not caring about his men lying on the ground.
Mao Chengzuo has been quite proud of himself recently. Relying on his father's reputation, he has won the Feng Shui treasure land of Dongsi Archway. Such a large piece of land can be used to build at least two more buildings in addition to the buildings used for demolition and resettlement.
More than a dozen six-story buildings are coming!
There are more than twenty buildings. In today's capital where every inch of land is at a premium, this is a lot of money.
With this income, the real estate industry in the Forty-Nine City can be regarded as having its own brand. The big boss Wu Ye used to be just a gangster in Liaoyang City. He worked under Li Xiao for a few years, and now
It has become a leader in the real estate industry in Beijing.
What's wrong with me? Am I no better than a street gangster?
Today I invited a few friends to promote Pai Gow on the street outside Dongsi Archway. Check out your space and show off in front of your friends.
Just after a general kill came from the bank, I saw a goldfish running in with its eyes covered and its mouth covered.
"Master!"
"What are you doing, haven't you seen the dealer? Get out of here!" Mao Chengzuo waved his hand impatiently, as if he was chasing away a fly.
Goldfish Eyes did not dare to disturb Mao Chengzuo's interest in gambling, so he could only stand aside with his cheeks covered and did not dare to speak. It really ruined this man's interest, and he might even get a beating.
"Why do you look like this?" Just as he was about to throw the dice, Mao Chengzuo suddenly turned his head. He took off the goldfish eye and saw that his mouth was still bleeding.
"Young Master, this slave was almost beaten to death just now. There is a family member here who has died, and they are talking about life and death but will not move. The deadline you gave is at the end of the month, and the slaves want to expel them quickly. Mo
The construction period was delayed.
No way! That little whore stole a man, and also stole an officer from the guard regiment. The officer brought seven or eight people, and you can see what they beat me. Young Master, you have to make the decision for the villain. The villain is
I'm doing my best on my errands!" Jinyuyan definitely belongs to the level of movie actor. He not only added fuel to the fire, but also made up stories about stealing people for no reason.
"What a fool! When you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. What's so great about the people in the security group? Their leader, Sun Zhijie, is still my father's student. Damn it, you don't even give me face like this. You lead the way, I'll do it."
Him." When he heard that his men were being beaten, Mao Chengzuo threw away the dice and left with a few followers holding the goldfish eyes.
The friends behind him saw it, and in line with the principle of watching the fun without fear of trouble, they all followed him to watch the fun.
Turn around a street and you will see the demolition site.
Goldfish Eyes walked at the front and led the way, talking more and more jealously as he walked. How he was mentioning the principal, hoping that the other party would give up and retreat. But unexpectedly, the other party hit him directly. In response to Mao Chengzuo's words, he hit him.
Dogs also need to look after their owners.
The group passed through a large area of broken bricks and tiles, and saw a group of people surrounding the yard of Widow Wang's house from a distance. They saw many people helping to repair the mourning hall that had just been smashed.
