Chapter 1212 The Rules of Begging

Seeing that the skinny boy had finished eating, Chen Zhao asked, "Do you want another bowl?"

The skinny boy touched his mouth with his torn sleeve, patted his belly and said, "If you take another bite, it will open up."

The two left the chaotic stall together, and the skinny child became lively and talked more when he had a full stomach.

It turns out that this child invaded the south first, and his father fought with the army and died in Tumubao. His mother worked hard to raise him until he was 12 years old. He died of illness last year, and he lived alone in the capital.

I asked his name, but I couldn't say it, and I couldn't remember it.

He smiled and said, "Everyone calls me bald, so you can call me bald."

Listening to his narration, Chen Zhao understood in his heart that this child actually knew his name.

Not only that, while his mother helped him grow up, she also taught him a lot of principles of life.

So although he was extremely hungry, he also knew that it was not good to disturb people's meals.

I also know that begging for Chaos needs the nod of the shopkeeper.

This is an indescribable backbone.

Without the upbringing of relatives, it is difficult to embody it in a hungry little beggar.

With such a proud child, they are all 13 years old, how could they not remember their own names?

But since he didn't say anything, Chen Zhao naturally didn't ask, so he simply talked about his life experience. Of course, he omitted his prestige in Dingxing County, and only said that his parents passed away and he came to the capital alone.

The bald man has lived until now, but his mood has been silent, a little heartless, and when he talked about his life experience, he didn't feel sad at all. Hearing Chen Zhao's own life experience, he just found it very interesting, and said with a smile:

"We are both the same. We have lost our parents and we have to support ourselves. It's just that your father was an official at the beginning, and you have money to spend as a beggar."

Chen Zhao said: "I also have money, and if I spend it all, I will still be hungry."

The bald man patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I'm here! I guarantee you won't starve to death!"

Speaking of which, Chen Zhao also smiled.

Hearing Chen Zhao talk about the poor man just now, the bald man said: "You don't know that, the person who beat you is our second master. This street, from Fangqiao in the east to Guang'anmen in the west, is all his. The world. Anyone who wants to beg on this street must first pay him a gift and worship him as a teacher."

Chen Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "So it's a beggar."

The bald man said solemnly: "Don't take the land master as a god, this man is very powerful, there is another uncle on top of him, who is in charge of the beggars in the entire East City, and it is said that there is also a Master Li on top of him, who is in charge of all the dark workshops in the East City , that's the big shot. Don't talk about Mr. Li, he is the uncle of our street, and he even has power in the government."

Chen Zhaodao: "We are both beggars, why can he be the second master, but you can't?"

The bald man was discouraged and said: "It's the second master, I'm not even the eighth master."

Chen Zhao nodded: "Indeed, if you want to be the eighth master, you have to have Cai Guoqing's good looks."

The bald man didn't know what he was talking about, so he continued: "To be the second master, you have to be recognized by the uncle. You can become the second master without five or seventy taels of silver as a gift to the uncle? You have to let the big guy convince you, as it is often said' The one with the big fist is the elder brother. Our second master is very skilled in martial arts. I heard that he used to guard the home of a rich family. His surname was Zhang Mingkai, and his nickname was 'Claw Eagle'. He killed someone by mistake because he gambled with everyone. , and fled into the capital."

"He has a pair of sharp claws choking people's throats, and he catches one to death. A handful of bones like me can answer the saying 'a wooden fish is not called a wooden fish, it's a bump that gets beaten', and he is still the second master!"

Chen Zhao laughed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he imitated the tone of a child and said, "Then you can't hit people casually!"

The bald man said: "It's not like hitting you casually. He sees that you are dressed like this. Well, it's not from his area. Of course he wants to take care of it. The second masters in various areas are all like this. "

Chen Zhao looked at his clothes, and smiled inwardly, knowing that he had entered the beggar industry, and was very satisfied in his heart.

Since you want to mix in the market for experience, then naturally you have to think about it as much as possible. In the future, even if you command the underground forces in the entire capital, no one will think too much about it.

So he said, "It's fine that I look like you, but this street is so long and there are so many beggars, can he recognize all of them?"

The bald man said, "That's why he asked you."

Chen Zhao nodded: "So that's the case, he just retracted his hands into his sleeves and signaled to me, so he was asking me something."

"That's right." The bald man carefully looked around, and then whispered in Chen Zhao's ear, "He just stretched out his sleeve to ask you! Put your hand into his sleeve, and gently pinch his middle finger. Squeeze his thumb lightly, and then say "greetings to the second master", that is, to answer him, he will know that you are from this area, and he will not beat you - you must never say that Speak out, or the second master will 'destroy' me if he knows that I have leaked the mechanism to outsiders."

Chen Zhao nodded: "I see!"

He asked him again: "Knowing about this mechanism, you won't be beaten in other places, right?"

The bald man shook his head: "Every district has its own code, and some have words to ask, and some have flashy eyes. For example, if he asks you 'how is business today'? You have to follow their rules. If you say something wrong, Only you are good-looking."

Chen Zhao said: "Anyway, I have experienced it, knowing whether or not I know the password, it must be of no use."

The bald man said: "It's still useful. Not only the second master, but also the third master Wang Hu, the fourth master Zhao Jiu-he also has a nickname called 'The General', and those who are not ranked as masters, don't care which ones People, when I see you, I have to ask, if you answer correctly, everything will be fine.”

Chen Zhao asked him, "You saw me unfamiliar, why didn't you ask?"

The bald man smiled and said, "You invited me to eat chaos and big sesame cakes, how could I have the nerve to ask?"

Chen Zhao laughed at what he said.

But the bald man immediately said seriously: "Actually, I don't ask anyone, not to mention how old I am. They are all brothers in trouble. It is not easy to find a meal. Why bother to make things difficult for others."

The two of them talked all the way, and the night was already deep.The bald man asked Chen Zhao, "Where do you sleep?"

Chen Zhao naturally wouldn't say that he owns a courtyard house, so he said, "I don't know where to sleep, but I came here from Dingxing and slept in the open, covered by the sky above and supported by the ground below, that's all. "

The bald man said: "If this is the case, you can sleep with me if you are dedicated. There are stone slabs on the top and straw mats on the bottom. The two of you can squeeze together and it will be warm."

Chen Zhao nodded: "Okay! Then go to your official residence for a night."

The two talked and laughed and went to the bald man's residence.

The bald man's foothold is actually at the bottom of a stone bridge on the small river. The stone tower base protrudes from the south end of the bridge. Although it is close to the water, it is smooth and flat, just about the length of a person, so he can lie down and sleep.

It's just that four or five of them had already fallen asleep, the bald man came back late, and the straw mat had already been taken.

The bald man pushed the man and said, "It's outrageous for you to behave like this, step aside quickly, I have guests tonight."

After such a noise, several beggars woke up, and one of them shouted and cursed at the street, but the others were very polite when they heard that it was Baldy's new friend. At this time, a person said in the dark:
"You got rich, bald man, I heard money."
