Chapter 144 Scattered Money Shakes Prestige
He Yuxiang, sitting in a teahouse diagonally opposite Cheng'en Building, was waiting anxiously for Cui Yimin to come with the yamen runners, because from time to time, there was already a stir in Cheng'en Building.
If Cui Yimin could not arrive in time with the yamen runners at this time, then the more than 300 beggars who were motivated by him would be surrounded by him. At that time, Cui Yimin and a group of yamen runners would be surrounded by the building, and the ending would be difficult.
Manager He was a little puzzled. Why hasn't the diner escaped in the Chengen Building yet? He wanted to go over and take a look, but he was afraid that someone would find out his identity and then make people have some bad associations and doubts.
Once the restaurant business becomes famous, it will be halfway through business.
Just when Manager He was anxious, he suddenly saw the guys he had arranged to cause trouble in Cheng'en Building and actually carried the two of them out in shame. This made Manager He confused.
Several people left the restaurant and wanted to hire two carriages to leave, but when the coachman saw the dead, they felt very unlucky and refused to take the job, so they all took a detour. The few people had no choice but to carry the people out of the East City.
He Yuxiang quickly left the teahouse and followed a few people from afar, intending to wait until he walked away and ask for it.
Not long after He Yuxiang walked out of the teahouse, Luo Xishi, dressed as a drinker, also walked out of the Chengen Building swayingly.
Luo Xishi did not wait until Tuesday to appear, nor did he see the behind-the-scenes envoy who stood up to speak for the troublemakers, so he planned to follow these people and see where they would go next.
Luo Xixi, who was walking not far behind He Yuxiang, soon discovered something wrong with He Yuxiang. Compared with Luo Xixi, a veteran who was stagnant and round, He Yuxi was obviously too clumsy and had too conspicuous movements. He was a rookie who only got out of the cage and didn't know how to hide his whereabouts.
Luo Xishi showed a strange smile on his face, and simply stopped following the troublemakers, but focused on He Yuxiang.
He Yuxiang was eager to know what happened in the building, but he forgot the backup plan he had arranged. After he gradually moved away, the beggars of all sizes and big in Chang'an City, who were bewitched, flocked to Cheng'en Building in Dongcheng City again.
After yesterday's incident, Chengenlou was obviously ready to deal with beggars blocking the door. Several children who were specifically responsible for watching the wind at intersections in the East City saw groups of beggars coming towards the East City, rushed back and hurriedly reported the situation to the young shopkeeper Baoshun.
After Baoshun received the news, he said to Qin Hu, the escort of Zhou's mansion guarding in Cheng'en Building without changing his face, "Those beggars are coming again, so please ask Brother Qin to come forward to rescue Cheng'en Building."
Qin Hu nodded after Zhou Chengye's special instructions and comforted Baoshun, "Don't worry, little brother, everything is under Erlang's plan. I will take someone to stop the beggar and then take it to Ci'en Temple!"
After Qin Hu said this, he explained to another junior brother of the same school in the building, and then quickly led fourteen people out of the building and quickly pulled up an isolation belt with a rope fifteen steps outside the main entrance of the Cheng'en Building. They stood on the inside of the isolation belt with long sticks in their hands.
In the end, Fang Yong and five other people carried out three large baskets of loose money from the building, which seemed to be as many as tens of thousands.
The beggars who were coming in full force were stopped by twenty big men holding long sticks before they arrived in front of Cheng'en Building.
Seeing that more and more beggars, Qin Hu was able to transport the energy of his dantian, and a loud shout like a lion roar suddenly sounded: "Dear fellow villagers, please hear it clearly! I stopped you today, not because I didn't distribute money for everyone, but because Cheng'en Building changed the rules. In the future, the money was only distributed at Shenshi. And the place where the money was distributed was changed to Dacien Temple. Everyone also saw that the money that was dispersed today was already in a basket, and the person who wanted to receive the money would follow me to Cien Temple now."
Most of these beggars really make a living by begging. Looking at the baskets of yellow Kaiyuan Tongbao, it was like losing their souls. They watched Qin Hu take people to carry money towards Ci'en Temple, and then followed closely, fearing that they would not have to fall behind.
Qin Hu led the vast majority of beggars to quickly stay away from Cheng'en Building, so there were only a dozen troublemakers who were bribed by He Yuxiang in front of the building.
Fang Yong and the other five people held long sticks in their hands, looked at these people coldly, and then said expressionlessly: "If you don't leave before I count to ten, don't blame the stick for being ruthless!"
"one two three……"
Before Fang Yong could count to the "seven", the guy who responded quickly shouted: "Everyone, run away quickly, they really hit people yesterday!"
Suddenly, a dozen bad guys who were trying to gather to attack Cheng'en Building ran away with their heads and never dared to stay in front of Cheng'en Building again.
The situation outside the building was clearly seen by some guests upstairs and at the bottom of the building. They all enjoyed watching it and thought it was really right to come to Cheng'en Building today. Not only were there free food and food, but there were also various farces and tricks, which was really eye-opening!
At this point, if anyone can't tell that someone is deliberately demolishing the platform of Cheng'en Building, then he can kill himself with a piece of tofu.
Qin Hu led hundreds of beggars to sway across the market, which immediately attracted another discussion among the people of Chang'an at the intersection of the alley.
"These people carried the money basket and led the beggars where are they going?"
"Don't you know? Cheng'enlou has distributed money to beggars in Chang'an City since yesterday, saying that it was because the cold winter was approaching and he was afraid that these beggars would freeze to death on the streets, so he distributed money to make beggars afford to buy warm clothes and survive this cold winter."
"Oh, the shopkeeper of Cheng'en Building is really a charity, he is so willing to let it go!"
"Oh, such a charity was captured by the brave men from Wannian County yesterday. It was said that Old Man Chen was secretly raising evil men and bullying the market!"
"Bah! I have been in Dongcheng for so many years and know Chen Guiyun's character best. If such a kind person can raise evil people, there will be few good people in Chang'an City!"
"When did Cheng'enlou bully the market? Everyone opened the door and did their own business. Whoever had a good food and a strong wine, and the customers naturally fell in love with whom they went to eat and drink. How could they be considered bullying the market!"
Pei He'an's public opinion agitation work was obviously done well. In less than a day, positive news about Cheng'en Building had begun to spread rapidly around the East City.
After coming to the bottom of the Great Ci'en Tower, Qin Hu said to hundreds of beggars: "According to the instructions of the restaurant's shopkeeper, start to distribute money now! Everyone who is pointed at me will come forward to receive a hundred cents of good money."
After Qin Hu finished speaking, he began to look for beggars from the crowd who could come forward to collect money. According to Zhou Chengye's instructions, he specifically selected beggar points that the elderly, weak, sick and disabled need relief. The young and strong were stared at by more than a dozen guards holding long sticks behind Qin Hu, and no one dared to go forward to jump into the lineup.
These young and strong beggars were not very anxious. Anyway, according to yesterday's convention, everyone who came here could receive a hundred cents, which was nothing more than a question of who would come first and who would come later. Some of them had even made up their minds that as long as they were mixed in the crowd and rushed to the Ci'en Tower every day, they could receive a hundred cents. This would not take long, and it would be enough to earn a considerable amount of money!
Qin Hu was meticulous and slowly distributed money to the old beggar, the little beggar and the female beggars. Whenever he sent out a small cloth bag containing hundreds of cents of money, he would patiently say: "Hurry up and find a safe place to stay, so as not to be robbed! If there is really no place to go, you will hide near Wannian County Government with the money. Once a bad person takes action, run to the county government government! If the soldiers at the county government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government government will naturally come out to be fair!
These old, weak, sick and disabled beggars really need help, and most of them are not greedy people. They thankfully took the money bag handed over by Qin Hu, and then put it tightly under the bottom of the clothes in their arms, for fear that the considerable amount of life-saving money would disappear.
Gradually, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled in the beggar group received the money and hurriedly left, for fear of being targeted by the young and strong beggars.
After dispersing ten cents of coins, only two baskets, Qin Hu carefully opened the third basket, but the one inside was filled with baskets of white flour steamed buns!
Qin Hu clasped his fists at the beggars with helpless expressions and said, "Dear fellow villagers, I'm really sorry. Cheng'en Building Store is small and can only give everyone ten cents of money every day. Today, all the ten cents of money have been sent. In order not to let everyone go for nothing, each person can come up to get two white flour buns."
The young and strong beggars who had been waiting impatiently and even eagerly, were immediately furious. Everyone was starving and frozen under the Ci'en Tower for more than an hour, but in the end they could only get two white-floured buns. This psychological gap was too big.
Some of the bold and thick-faced beggars wanted to overturn the white-faced steamed bun basket on the spot. As a result, the thirteen big men behind Qin Hu swung their sticks and beat the guy who was causing trouble, directly hitting the guy who was asking for trouble.
"Hmph, you beggars are really greedy and shameless! Cheng'enlou doesn't owe you a little bit of money. Whether you give you money or steamed buns, that's a favor; even if you don't give anything, it's a duty! Since everyone has the ability, I might as well tell you a place where you can get money!"
Qin Hu roared another lion, and immediately completely suppressed the beggars' unruly aura that had just been stimulated.
"Everyone is more luxurious and generous than Cheng'en Building in Yunmengju, and their shopkeepers are also famously kind and generous. As long as everyone works together to ask for it, they will never return empty-handed!"
When the beggars heard Qin Hu's words, they immediately felt their eyes lit up, so they shouted together to head towards the west market. When they were about to leave, they still did not forget to divide the basket of white flour steamed buns.
After everyone left, junior brother Zhao Ping asked Qin Hu and said, "Brother Qin, I have never seen you as majestic!"
Qin Hu shook his head and replied proudly: "If I could fund a hundred poor beggars every day, then I would be able to show you the mighty every day!"
