"What are the rules and taboos about beggars in Jinling City?"
Jia Yun sat on the chair and saw that everyone around her was standing in groups. She didn't dare to speak and kept silent in a low voice, but her eyes fell on him. Soon, she also looked at Zhang Xiaolong. , and asked in a low voice without any hint of unruly expression.
Zhang Xiaolong stood beside him tremblingly. Hearing Jia Yun's inquiry this time, he reacted very quickly. He did not grimace, but shook his head and said: "There are rules in Jinling City even if you are a beggar. , not just anyone can become a beggar.”
"Most of the beggars in Jinling City are divided into categories, and each has its own territory and backer. If you go to other people's territory at will, you will be driven away and beaten. If it is more serious, you will be beaten to death after being discovered. Drag it into the Jinling River to feed the fish."
“I don’t know how many beggars’ bones are buried in the Jinling River.”
"Because the government has a low status as a beggar and no one reports it to the government, even if they try to solve the case, there is always no profit to be made. Therefore, this has gradually become a tacit understanding between the government and us. As long as we don't cause trouble in the city, , If you don’t make the matter a big deal, then it won’t be a problem.”
"This is how the old rules came from."
As Zhang Xiaolong said this, he secretly glanced at Jia Yun, who was sitting in the front seat. He was really a true hero. He made a clean and sharp knife without any sloppiness. He was indeed a ferocious one.
Even though Jia Yun's face looks quite delicate, and her speech has the elegance of a Confucian scholar, what she does is not ambiguous at all, but has the demeanor of a general.
Zhang Xiaolong is also a scholar, so he has naturally heard the story about the Jia Mansion in Shenjing and the two princes.
Even in this small Jinling Mansion, the Jia family is a top wealthy family, and almost no one dares to provoke them.
For a small person like Zhang Xiaolong, let alone a collateral bloodline like Jia Yun, even a slave in the Jia family has a higher status in the world than humble commoners like them.
As the saying goes, a big dog still depends on its owner.
There are many slaves who bully others and servants who pretend to be powerful.
Seeing Jia Yun's gloomy face, she seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhang Xiaolong's procrastination. Immediately, Zhang Xiaolong hurriedly continued: "This is the West Street, and all beggars are under our management. Unless the beggars from outside have submitted a petition, Otherwise, they will be driven away and beaten up. The Yamen steward responsible for managing the West Street needs to pay some money every year, and the Xigua Gang, who runs gambling houses and brothels in the West Street, is responsible for collecting protection fees."
"The idiot who was killed by the Second Master before was the little leader of the Watermelon Gang."
"The layout of other streets is similar."
Jia Yun nodded slightly when she heard this, looked at Zhang Xiaolong, and said, "Who is behind this Watermelon Gang?"
As long as you walk in the world of rivers and lakes, you have no backing or strength. If you want to be the king and have a status in the rivers and lakes, it will be extremely difficult and almost impossible.
Therefore, Jia Yun expected that there must be a backer and someone behind the Xigua Gang, but she didn't know who this backer was.
"The Watermelon Gang's previous backer was the eldest boss of Jinling Mansion. However, this eldest boss was arrested a few days ago and charged with corruption. Now the eldest boss of Jinling Mansion has not been decided yet, and the court has not appointed anyone. I came here as an errand, so it’s still vacant.”
At this time, Zhang Xiaolong was also explaining the entire Jinling Mansion situation to Jia Yun, speaking carefully.
"So that's it? Such a thing happened!"
When Jia Yun heard this, she couldn't help but think of Jia Yucun. If what she expected was true, this person would soon take office and come to Jinling Mansion to be the prefect of Jinling.
This is also the fundamental reason why Jia Yunfei returned to Jinling Mansion to participate in the imperial examination.
Who did Jia Yucun rely on to rise to power? Jia Zheng, the network of relationships behind Jia Zheng, and the power and majesty of the entire Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion came to power.
In order not to offend the Xue family among the four major families, Jia Yucun was able to let Xue Pan go unpunished and try the Hulu case without fixing Xue Pan's guilt. It can be seen that this person is also able to understand the world and people, gradually become diplomatic, and can judge the situation. What a villain.
Real villains also have their uses.
If there were too many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial examination in Shenjing, there would inevitably be no room for manipulation.
And in Jinling Mansion, far away from Shenjing, they met Jia Yucun again, so there was a lot of room for manipulation.
Does Jia Yun really not know that the imperial examination in Jingzhao Prefecture is less difficult than that in Jinling Prefecture?
Jia Yun actually knew it all along.
He not only knew that the imperial examinations in the Jiangnan region were extremely difficult, but he also knew that there were many talented and beautiful people in the Jiangnan region. Most of the people who passed the imperial examination in the past dynasties were from the south, and the same was true for the number one scholar.
However, Jia Yun can make a fuss in Jinling Mansion by virtue of her status as a descendant of Jia Mansion in Rongguo Mansion.
No matter how good your writing is, it will be difficult to get ahead without the support of anyone above.
No one in Shenjing would give Jia Yun face, and no one would look down upon the descendants of this Jia family. But in Jinling Mansion, with the help of Jia Yucun, the all-powerful prefect of Jinling, can't he still win the election?
There is a huge difference between someone serving as an official in the court and someone serving as an official in the court.
Jia Yun was sure that Jia Yucun would come to this place, so she came here in advance, intending to bring the majesty of Jia Yucun and Jia Mansion to handle the affairs of the imperial examination and money.
Jinling Mansion is rich!
Since ancient times, Jinling has been prosperous and there are many rich people. A little bit of oil and water is enough for Jia Yun to win many draws.
But Jia Yun is alone, without background or backing, how can she operate?
However, Jia Yun may not be able to rely on the power of Jinling Jia Mansion and Jia Yu Village.
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, uses his strength to fight, and uses his power to bully others. This is what Jia Yun will do next.
Jia Yun's own talents and academic skills, coupled with the double insurance of Jia Yucun as the prefect of Jinling, wouldn't it be easy to run a civil servant?
Is the Jinling Prefecture Imperial Examination really difficult?
Jia Yun doesn't think so.
As long as you have good hands and eyes, there are people above you, your skills are strong enough, and you can operate well, why can't you get ahead, get promoted and make a fortune?
Jia Yun pondered for a long time, thinking about the future pattern. She looked at Zhang Xiaolong and said calmly: "Go and help me make an appointment with the people from the Xigua Gang. Let's talk about the Shenjing Jia Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion. After Rong Guogong, the second master of the Yun family , I plan to invite your gang leader to have a drink at Tianxiang Tower."
Jia Yun deliberately obscured her identity as a concubine here, and deliberately tried to lure Rong Guogong.
Thereby creating more favorable negotiation conditions for yourself.
