There are three kinds of people outside the customs who cannot be offended. One is of course the official, the most powerful official in the world. The other type of people are foreigners, especially Tsarist Russians. It was not obvious before, but after the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, the ports outside the customs were opened, and Tsarist Russian merchants poured in in large numbers. Gradually, Russian power gradually grew.
The third type of people are the very, very many bandits outside the customs, also called beards, horse bandits, and bandits. During the Qing Dynasty, the level of farming outside the customs was very low. The bitter cold days forced the people to rely on fishing, hunting and gathering to survive. Frequent battles with nature naturally made the people strong and tough. To put it bluntly, their wild temperament was also forced by the environment.
With such a large base of people who dare to fight and kill, and there are not many poor bandits, there are ghosts. In fact, this is also a tradition. Didn’t the Manchu Qing Dynasty start with a group of Manchu bandits with ideals and ambitions who collectively plundered the Central Plains?
This is a tradition, a long-standing tradition!
Official authority can suppress law-abiding people, but official authority cannot suppress bandits. The law is just a decoration in their eyes. Even if you have strong soldiers and horses, you can break through the bandit's stronghold, but you cannot stop the bandits from breaking into pieces and harassing you secretly.
Officials are also afraid of desperadoes coming into their homes in the middle of the night. No matter how many soldiers they are caught off guard, they will not be enough to save their lives. Therefore, the bastard dares to bully the people, but he is scared when he foresees real bandits.
But he was timid, and he couldn't forget the true nature of doing business. When he saw that these people were suspected of selling stolen goods, he decided to take over the business. ah.
She squeezed his hand and slowly moved it away. Before Mr. Duzi could continue to speak, he heard a slightly familiar voice burst into laughter, "What a bastard! I haven't seen you in three years. You are nothing like me." Even though I gained weight before, my virtue has not changed at all!"
"Oh...who are you?" Mr. Duzi was stunned for a moment. After the anti-freezing blanket was pulled off the face of the man opposite, the bastard Duzi's knees went weak and he was hit by a thousand blows.
The smiling faces changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and the faces of the people just turned into extremely flattering expressions in an instant, "This is not Mr. Lin..." Before the word could be said, Lao Lin blocked his mouth, Pulling him up by the way.
"Silence! Didn't you see that I came here in disguise? If you shout about me, be careful that I fall out with you!"
The person coming was none other than Lieutenant General Lin, a direct descendant of Hunchun. This was Ning Guta’s well-known second-in-command, two levels higher than Wang Du, the purchased general, not to mention that Lao Lin was a serious man with soldiers in his hands. General, but the bastard only has one name in his hand, and no big soldiers.
The level and power are not on the same level. When the two met three years ago, Du Ziye even gave Lao Lin a gift.
"I understand, I understand! Look at my mouth, I really should be slapped... Mr. Lin, please come here, the wind is warm in the shed! The best Tieguanyin, burn the knife... I don't like it when we go to the city and there is a restaurant, brother, I will be the host !”
If a person like you bullies your subordinates and flatters your superiors, if he acts like a slave to you, most people will really not be able to stand such a mean attitude.
"Okay, okay! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Let me go into the city quickly... You won't search my things, right?" Old Lin asked angrily.
"Ouch! Aren't you scolding me? I, the bastard, dare not search anyone else!" As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed and he said with a flattering smile, "Ouch... I don't dare to search like this, but brother, I After all, you are in charge of the city gate, so you should ask me if I have something to ask. What is the matter with you secretly coming to Qiqihar?"
"I know that there is a war going on east of the Wusuli River. The volunteers are making such a ruckus that you actually sneaked out. There must be something serious. Please don't hurt me..." After saying that, his eyes flickered, and there was something smart behind him. The soldiers quietly led people to block the city gate.
"Ouch! What do you mean? You are forcing me with a weak knife!" Lao Lin pretended to be angry.
"No, no, no, no, I don't dare to take what you said! To be honest, we are all brothers, what can't we say? Besides, don't you know what I do? If you need anything, I'll help you! We are You are in the business of helping people! Do you think so..."
Lao Lin looked at this ruthless face and wanted to slap him, but now he had to take advantage of him, so he could only hold back his anger and sneered, "To be honest, brother, I have some good stuff to sell, and we have already eaten it over there." I can’t move anymore, I want to try my luck here!”
"Oh! Brother's goods must be excellent! I wonder if I have the chance to meet you!" The bastard rubbed his hands in excitement.
Old Lin chuckled, "I know you have a good nose, but I didn't let you get out of the way for nothing. Here are three thousand dragon-marked silver coins. You can use them to give your men a drink..."
Hiss... Mr. Duzi took a breath of air! He said in his heart, if he doesn't let the goods be inspected, he can get three thousand dragon-marked silver coins just by moving out of the city gate! Why is this batch so fat? No, if I don't peel off a layer of skin, I'll be sorry for my nickname.
"Hahaha... Mr. Lin, we brothers have discussed it. We definitely have discussed it. If you give me money, you are not scolding me! You are not getting rewarded for your efforts!"
The two of them went to an unoccupied corner of the shed and whispered softly, "If you have any good goods, come to me! Think about it, who has more connections than me in Qiqihar City? If you want to get a good price, it's hard to say, I'll do it for you , it will definitely be done! Guaranteed to make more than if you go it alone!"
"Please tell me what good product it is. Let's hear it..."
"Ouch! Do you mean you have to intervene?" Lao Lin pretended to be angry and said, "What if I don't agree?"
The bastard was not angry either. He raised his hand and patted his mouth lightly, "Don't be angry. There's nothing wrong with me. I'm just a mean-mouthed person. Sometimes when I talk in my sleep, something will show up..."
"Hehehe... Mr. Lin is wearing something like this. He doesn't want General Tepuxin and General Hunchun to know about it, so... you'd better shut up my stupid mouth!"
Threat, this is Chi Guoguo's threat. In front of money, Mr. Duzi doesn't care what your official position is. You have to fish out the money in the frying pan.
Lao Lin laughed so angrily, "You are really obsessed with money. You even dare to threaten me!"
"Don't dare! But this is Heilongjiang, this is Qiqihar City, not your Jilinning Ancient Pagoda..."
The two of them froze, you looked at me and I looked at you, neither one gave way to the other... In fact, this was Lao Lin's deliberate strategy. He knew that this kind of person was extremely suspicious, and you couldn't make things too smooth for him. On the contrary, there will be doubts.
After a while, Old Lin burst into laughter, "I'm afraid of you! But you have to tell me, what percentage do you want?"
"Don't be greedy, don't be greedy, 30% is enough..."
"Nonsense, do you know how big this deal is? I'll give you 10% of it!"
"Haha, look what you said, just treat the little one as a morsel of food, no less than 25%!"
"15%! Let me tell you clearly, just 15% is enough for you to work for a year!"
"Hiss... so many? Then I have to take a look. You let me take a look at the baby. As long as you don't brag, how about our 20%? Don't push it down. Brother, I am taking risks too, right?"
Old Lin chewed his teeth and stamped his foot, "I'm so scared, I'm scared of you bastard! That's it, let's go see the goods..."
