A captain who was originally a servant of the Liu family said: "Second Young Master, but that day is the wedding day of the eldest young master. Is it appropriate for us to take action like this?"
Liu Haojia said: "What's inappropriate? Isn't it true that collecting money will delay the marriage? That's it!"
In the next three days, these military police went door to door to inform the merchants of the amount and final time of payment. However, because they did not take any other action, the attitudes of these merchants became tougher, and some people actually started to insult them!
Fortunately, these military police received Liu Haojia's instructions in advance and did not have any dispute with them. They just said what they should say and turned around and left. Only the shopkeepers and waiters were left standing in front of the door to show off their power.
On the fourth day, when some people were about to give a good look to the military police who were collecting monthly bills, they discovered that from morning to now, none of the military police who had visited the door every day had shown up! The smart ones felt that a storm was coming, but the ignorant people shouted loudly in front of the door, bragging about their own power and frightening the guards and officers from coming to the door!
On this day, Liu Haojia did not go out because today was the day when his eldest brother officially married the bride. He wanted to follow his eldest brother to the bride's house and bring the bride back.
The person who married Uncle Gu Ning was also from a noble family, but their family's situation was similar to that of the Liu family, and they were also in an ugly state of decline! But no one like Liu Haojia appeared in their family, leading the family to take off again.
This family was knighted for their military exploits, with the title Yongfeng Bo. The current head of the family is Wang Zhanguang, and his wife is Wang Li. There are three children. Living with them were Wang Zhanguang's two brothers and his family.
The reason why the Liu family carefully selected the Wang family was, first of all, that although this family had fallen into decline, the family tradition was very upright, and there had never been any criminals in the family! Moreover, the Wang family was very smart and began to sell iron for their children to study, hoping to become civil servants.
Among the three Wang brothers and sisters, the eldest son Wang Qingwen has been selected as a scholar and is studying hard. The second eldest child is Wang Rong, the young lady who is about to marry into the Liu family. The third eldest child, Wang Qingwu, is good at martial arts, but he has no money to hire a famous teacher for guidance, so he can only practice some martial arts passed down from his family.
Now that their family has come into the eyes of the Liu family, they have received preferential treatment. The Liu family took them to do various businesses, and also made friends with people among the nobles again, and things gradually improved.
And this family is also pragmatic, and they have gained a lot of benefits by working down-to-earth! Now not only has he redeemed the Earl's Mansion that he sold back then, but he has also managed a village in other provinces! However, these incomes did not dazzle the eyes of this family, but instead moved closer to the Liu family more firmly. So when the Liu family proposed getting married, the two parties naturally hit it off! Now that other procedures such as proposal of marriage and appointment have been passed, all that is left is to bring the bride in!
Ancient weddings were usually held at night, so they were called dusk ceremonies. It was only later that it evolved into a wedding ceremony. So in the afternoon it was the time to officially pick up the bride. Of course, this time also depends on the distance between the two families. The farther away you are, the sooner you will arrive. But now both families are in the capital city, and both are in the aristocratic district. They are actually quite close. So there is no need to leave too early.
At this time, the sedan chair was ready in the courtyard of Uncle Gu Ning's house. Liu Haojia pulled him and Liu Haonian shouted loudly: "Are all the people to accept the bride here?"
The people below shouted happily: "We're here!"
"coming!"
"here!"
Liu Haojia shouted again: "If you sign up like this, how will I know who has arrived? According to the pre-assignment, report them to their team leader!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and then loudly reported to their team leader. When the team leader found that everyone in his family was gathered, he shouted: "The people carrying the sedan are here!"
"The gong and drum team is here!"
"Those who spread sugar and money are all here!"
After hearing the responses from everyone, Liu Haojia nodded with satisfaction and turned to Liu's father. Liu's mother said: "Dad, mother, everyone is here. My eldest brother and I are going to welcome the bride!"
Today, Father Liu and Mother Liu were wearing new clothes and stood on the steps looking at their two handsome and upright sons with joy! The eldest son Liu Haonian has been practicing martial arts all year round. He has a tall and majestic body and looks even more heroic when he wears a bright red wedding dress! Although the second son Liu Haojia is still a little taller than his eldest brother, he is now a handsome young man!
Father Liu saw that everyone was ready and the estimated time was almost there, so he waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, don't delay on the way!"
Liu Haojia clasped his hands in his fists and shouted "I have the order!", then turned around and waved his hand and said: "My sons, follow this general to the expedition!"
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this, and then came over and surrounded the two brothers and went out. As soon as they went out, the sound of gongs and drums rang into the sky, telling everyone that something good had happened to the Liu family today!
——————————————————————————————
At the same time, at the small school ground in the west of the city, many people were slowly gathering together. A group of people dressed in official attire were the military police under Liu Haojia. Another group of people were dressed in ordinary people's clothes. This group of people is not large, and they are all new to the school.
Liu Ren, who was accompanying Liu Haojia, took a look at Sun Ying and said to the district captains around him: "Go and check to see if all the gang leaders are here?"
Everyone answered one after another: "They are all here! They have just been inspected!"
"It's all here!"
Liu Ren said: "In that case, call them all over!"
The captains dispersed one after another, and then led those wearing ordinary people's clothes over to stand in front of Liu Ren. Liu Ren looked at the group of people up and down. Some of these people are old and strong, but their common feature is that they have sinister faces, and tattoos are exposed on the parts that are not covered by clothes. At first glance, they are not good people. Only a few people look pleasing to the eye, but if you look closely at their eyes, you will find that there is a trace of evil in their eyes!
These people are all the gang leaders who were saved by Liu Haojia after cleaning up the streets! We have gathered them together today to use them.
After Liu Ren shocked everyone with his eyes, he saw these people bowing their heads one by one, with smiles on their faces, and then he said with satisfaction: "A large number of gangs were swept away on the streets some time ago, and you guys You are all allowed to stay by the superiors, otherwise you would have to go to Xishan to dig coal at this time! But since the superiors are keeping you, it means that you don’t do much evil on weekdays, and you more or less obey the instructions. This is a good thing! Remember your own Identity, what you should do and what you shouldn’t do will help you live a long life!”
