Chapter 200： make trouble

But Yingbao could only think about it.

At present, it seems that the money I make from selling goods is not enough to hire a singer, let alone a flag and drum troupe.

The three of them came to a stage and looked inside through the railings.

From a distance, I saw several people on the stage wearing colorful clothes performing.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Jiang Quan turned to look at his little cousin: "It's very cheap, only ten cents per customer."

Ernie asked curiously: "How do you know?"

Jiang Quan pursed his lips at a sign: "Isn't it written on the sign?"

"Okay, let's go in and have a look." Yingbao was originally taking Sister Erni out to play. This is the most prosperous place in the county. What can we do if we don't go in to see what we have to offer.

So the three of them paid thirty cash and went in to find a table and sit down.

Soon a vendor came to sell food. Jiang Quan ordered a large portion of crispy and salty grilled steamed buns, three bowls of tofu, and three red bean and glutinous rice balls.

The rice **** are also wrapped with a layer of diced pork in sauce, which is very delicious.

The three of them were eating and watching.

Erni and Jiang Quan watched the dancers dancing and rapping on the stage, while Ying Bao looked around.

This area is full of opera performers, people are singing or reading in the teahouse next to it, and there are acrobats and knife dancers outside the hook bar. Accompanied by the various shouts of the vendors, it is very lively.

Gao Lifan was a storyteller, and his wife Zhang followed him by playing drums and singing.

When I met Gao Lifan and his wife in my previous life, they were engaged in this business. At that time, their only daughter Dongmei had passed away many years ago.

I remember that his family also adopted a child from the Gao clan brother's family. As a result, the son was very bad. Not only did he speak harshly to the couple, but he also often stole the family's belongings and gave them to his biological parents.

“Yingbao, Yingbao!” Erni pulled her little cousin, pointed at the stage and whispered: “Does the woman on the stage look like the eldest daughter of Chen Changping’s family?”

Ying Bao looked up and saw a dancing **** the stage who looked very much like Chen Wan.

Even though her face was thickly rouged, her figure and face were undoubtedly that of Chen Wan.

Unexpectedly, she ended up in the dance class.

Erni put her hands next to Yingbao’s ears and asked excitedly: “Should we tell Patriarch Chen?”

“It’s up to you.” Ying Bao didn’t want to get involved in this matter.

On the stage, Chen Wan was waving her sleeves in a dull manner, spinning and dancing, with no expression on her face, and her eyes were looking outside the hook fence, as if she was looking for something.

Here, the three Jiang brothers and sisters felt their stomachs full after finishing the snacks in front of them. When the boy came to collect the reward money with a copper plate, he threw in a few copper coins and quickly got up and left.

Erni was chattering about Chen Wan on the way, feeling sad and gloating at the same time.

As I approached my shop, I saw many people gathered nearby, pointing towards the shop from a distance.

Jiang Quan and Yingbao were startled and ran towards the shop.

In the store, several vicious gangsters were grabbing Jiang Cheng and beating him.

Ying Bao was furious, but she still had sense. She turned around and told her second cousin: "Hurry up and find someone! Find someone from the Yamen!" After saying that, she rushed in like a missile.

Jiang Quan hesitated for a moment, then immediately ran towards the patrol shop not far away.

Erni followed Yingbao and ran into the shop. She saw that the shop was in a mess, and several gourds were smashed and scattered on the floor.

Fortunately, the preserved fruits and chestnuts were moved into the backyard to be packed into boxes, and they were not poisoned.

"Help! Someone is committing murder!" Yingbao shouted as he rushed into the shop, hugged a gangster's thigh and gave him a slap.

A thick steel needle instantly appeared in her hand and pierced the guy's lower body. She heard him scream and immediately fell to the ground, curled up and howling.

After Ying Bao poked this person, he ducked aside and pushed Er Ni towards the backyard: "Go in quickly!"

Er Ni is already a ten-year-old girl, so she can't be touched by these ruffians.

One of the three gangsters was knocked over by the poke, and the other two were a little dumbfounded, but they quickly reacted and pounced to catch Ying Bao. But Jiang Cheng didn't let them get what they wanted, so he picked up a stick on the ground and swung it over.

He couldn't beat three by himself before, but now he only has two left. Anyway, he exercises every day, and he doesn't care when he gets ruthless, causing the gangsters in both places to scream.

So the gangsters from the two places turned around and struggled with him.

Upon seeing this, Ying Bao rushed over and attacked them unexpectedly, stabbing their lower backs, thighs and buttocks with steel needles. He stabbed wherever he caught them, causing the gangsters in both places to scream.

One of the gangsters was furious, turned around, grabbed Ying Bao, and stabbed her head with the dagger in his hand.

“Stop!”

Hearing a loud shout, a figure rushed forward and kicked the gangster over, "How dare you! If you dare to commit murder on the street, come on! Arrest them all!"

Several government officials ran in, kicked the gangsters to the ground, and put chains around their necks.

Jiang Quan panted and ran back to the store, hugged his elder brother whose face was covered with blood and cried, "Brother! Brother! How are you?"

Jiang Cheng collapsed and sat on the ground, shaking his head at him: "It's okay..."

Ying Bao on the side raised her neck and thanked the leading officer: "Thank you, Uncle Jin, for saving me."

Jin Wu touched her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, it was because Uncle Jin came late and little Yingbao was frightened."

He turned around and pointed at a few ruffians and cursed: "Are you blind? Do you dare to bully my golden five-hooded man?"

The three gangsters knelt down and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, Boss Jin, we didn't know. It was the gang leader who asked us to come..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard in the mouth by a government servant: "Shut up!"

Jin Wu waved his hand at them: "Take them away! Take them back to the Yamen for trial. If you dare to hurt people with weapons in broad daylight, I see you are tired of living!"

The two big gangs in the county are both involved with the government patrols, and the two have a mutually beneficial relationship.

But these gangsters dare to come out and cause trouble for them with their gang names. They really don't know how to live or die.

Jiangji Specialty Shop was personally named by the commander to take care of them, so Jin Wu and others did not dare to slack off even if they had ten courages.

These dogs came out to cause trouble at this time, so don't blame him for using them to scare the monkeys.

A group of government officials escorted the three gangsters out. Jin Wu stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to commit murder and disturb the people again will be punished by me!"

He said this to the crowd in the crowd, letting them know that the shop here is not allowed to move.

Sure enough, someone in the crowd ran away quickly, probably to spread the news.

After sending Jin Wu and others away, the frightened Er Ni hugged Ying Bao and said with tears in her eyes: "The people in the county are too terrible."

"Those are just a few gangsters. Don't be afraid. Our shop has paid the deed tax and is looked after by the patrol shop. They don't dare to kill anyone." At most, they are here to cause trouble.

However, Jin Wu just said that his shop will be much safer in the future.

Yingbao opened the medicine box, took out the medicine and wiped his cousin's face, and gave him a pill.

Jiang Cheng just suffered a skin injury, which is not a major problem. He is expected to recover in a few days.

As the crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed, Jiang Quan cleaned the shop with a pained expression, putting aside a few usable gourds and sweeping out the remaining fragments.

Erni collected all the seeds in the gourd pulp and gave them to her little cousin to process.

At this time, Jiang Yunniang walked in, looked around and asked, "Erquan, what's going on?"

“Auntie,” Jiang Quan called out, “A few gangsters came to cause trouble and have been taken away by the Yamen.”

Jiang Yunniang frowned and said: "Erquan, you have offended the Hutou Gang. How can you do this? Even the people from the Yamen can't do anything to them."

He then said to Jiang Cheng: "I'm not telling you that you don't know anything but you have to show off your strength. Is it so easy to open a shop? This is a good thing. You have caused trouble for nothing."

Yingbao turned to look at her aunt: "How do you know those people must be from the Hutou Gang?"

Three local gangsters have been taken away by the government officials a long time ago. Could it be that my aunt can predict the future?
