Chapter 1969: Confess and Be Lenient, Resist and Be Strict
‘Woo~~’ At nine o’clock in the morning, three trains entered Luoyang Station one after another.
There were two trains last time, and one more today.
The third steam locomotive has been tested and put into operation, and the fourth is being assembled.
A passenger train ran in the front early. As soon as the train stopped and the door opened, people from Jingzhao Prefecture got off one after another.
Some people had a place to stay in Luoyang, so they took their luggage and hired a car to go there.
The government patrolled, and the price of the car was fixed. There was no need to bargain according to how much goods and how many people they took from the railway station to which part of the Luoyang Palace.
Horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, mule-drawn carts, and donkey-drawn carts were priced separately.
This would save time, otherwise it would be a waste of time to argue over a few dimes.
Those who were reluctant to spend money walked by themselves, and there were fixed vehicles that did not cost money, such as the Lijiazhuangzi car.
People who got off the train got on the carriage directly and stayed temporarily in Lijiazhuangzi. They were people who had no place to stay.
The rent in Lijiazhuangzi is cheap, and the food is not expensive. If you don't want to spend money, you can drink free soup.
Lijiazhuangzi will arrange where people go. If you want to find a job, tell them the location, and they will take a horse carriage from Lijiazhuangzi.
After getting off the passengers, the bus will go to the side road to add coal and water.
This bus will go to Haizhou, and after arriving in Haizhou, it will pick up people along the way back to Luoyang.
If you want to go to Haizhou or the intermediate station, you can get on the bus directly, and no tickets will be sold.
The truck enters the station at the back, and the front of the car leaves. A group of people rush to help unload the goods. This is profitable.
There are all kinds of food for sale at the station, mainly wontons, which are freshly made.
"I want a bowl of wontons, and send me two vegetable buns over there."
A yamen runner in charge of inspections finished this trip and found a place to eat.
He is also responsible for food safety issues at the railway station. The buns are made here and then steamed.
He smells and tastes the fillings. If the taste is normal, he allows others to sell them, and collects management fees by the way, but no taxes.
The bun seller brought two chicken buns and turned to leave.
"Stop, take the money." The yamen runner looked at the buns, hesitated, took out six cents and put them on the table.
"I have to give away the remaining buns when I go back, how can I ask for money?" The bun seller shook his head and refused.
"This is the first time I heard of giving meat buns to people. I am afraid you treat me like a dog, and you beat the dog with meat buns, right?" The yamen runner glared.
"I really don't want money." The bun seller continued to refuse.
He is responsible for inspection. What if he says your stuffing is rotten in the future?
In the past, this yamen runner would not pay for food. He has not eaten at the station in the past few days. How dare he accept it today!
"No, take it back." The yamen runner was angry.
"Then... I will accept it, a total of three cents, the vegetable buns you want." The bun seller came over carefully.
"But you gave me meat buns, do you think I don't know?"
The yamen runner is in charge of this, and he can tell what the buns are filled with at a glance.
"You usually..." The bun seller said three words.
"I was almost caught and beaten with a stick before, and I was fined one string of money. How many buns can I eat with that money? Take the money!"
The yamen runner finally told the reason why he had to pay, and he was fined.
"Oh!" The bun seller was happy, you have come to this day? Li Dongzhu caught so many people, thinking he missed you.
He grabbed four dimes from the table and walked back quickly: "Count it as the cost."
The wonton cook next to him saw that he put five more wontons in the pot, and he also had to count the cost.
He didn't expect to make money from the patrolman, just to get back the cost.
His wife rolled her eyes at him and gave him an extra tea egg.
The wontons and tea eggs were served, and the yamen runner was about to speak, but the woman spoke first: "Give it according to the wonton money, we won't pay."
"Thank you!" The yamen runner thanked him, pulled over the pickled vegetable bowl, and put some on the plate.
"Patrolman, how can you be fined? We can't say it!" The woman handed over two small pieces of rough paper for wiping mouths.
"The farmers of Lijiazhuang knew about it long ago, and they were waiting for their owner to come and arrest people.
Many officials were taken away, and even more were those who hid in the dark. So far, none of them have been released.
There is no more chaos in the entire Luoyang Palace. He was too ruthless.
Let us say it ourselves. I was timid, so I said it, and was fined one string.
I haven't seen Guan Laosi, who used to swap shifts with me, in recent days, right?
He didn't take the initiative to say it, so he was fined two strings, and was beaten with ten sticks. He is recovering at home."
The yamen runner took out the money for the wontons first, and didn't dare to wait until he finished eating before paying.
He was afraid of being caught and framed, otherwise why would he pay for the meal first?
The woman accepted it. She didn't make any money from this wonton, and actually lost a few cents.
"Patrolman, you pay one string, how can your family live?"
The woman continued to inquire, one string was not a small amount.
"A part is deducted every month for a year. His Majesty is here! There are many things to do recently, so he gave us subsidies.
The subsidy is more than the deductions every month. Guan Lao Si is recovering from his injuries, so he won't get any if he doesn't work.
The cruel Li Dongzhu didn't give his family the extra soap, and he insisted on not explaining it. Alas!"
The yamen runner didn't hide it either, and always talked about Guan Lao Si, which made people feel a little gloating.
The expression on the woman's face seemed happy: "Guan Lao Si always eats and takes things, he deserves it! What's the sentence in the newspaper? His Majesty said it."
"It's easy to abuse the people, but it's hard to deceive God." The yamen runner said.
"Yes, that's it, there's more behind it, I can't remember, His Majesty said it."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around happily and fished out another tea egg and handed it over. Guan Lao Si was punished, and it was worth it.
The yamen runner did not refuse, and exchanged information: "I heard that the money we were fined will be used to buy you a new car when Li Dongzhu's manor takes time out.
You can change your car to a bigger one, and when they come to see it, they will make a big one for your family."
The yamen runner pointed it out, and saw if the tea eggs were worth it?
"Then what is the difference between my family and Guan Laosi? We earn hard-earned money by selling wontons, and we deserve it.
Cheating Li Dongzhu's money is a loss for kind people.
My family only has such a big stall. If you want to make more money, you should make the soup and stuffing well."
The woman refuted on the spot, UU reading www.uukanshu.net I appreciate your kindness, but I can't do that, so I'll make it clear in person.
"Otherwise, why do I love eating your wontons?" The yamen runner was not angry, but looked up to him.
This wonton has more stuffing than others, and the wonton skin is also a circle larger.
Most people don't know, but those who eat it all the time will understand.
This matter spread all over the train station in an instant, and the merchants expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they would not cheat, and that they would report anyone who dared to suddenly expand their stalls.
"Brother Wang Twelve, give me a bowl of wontons and two tea eggs. Just to eat your wontons, I ran from the south of the city to the north of the city train station, so give me two more wontons to make up for it."
A man came over with a load on his shoulder, trying to get a bargain.
"You are a peddler who travels all over the place, why did you go to the south of the city so early in the morning?"
The woman was making wontons, and she made a few more and threw them into the pot.
"There are meats for sale outside the south of the city, rabbit meat, deer meat, and venison.
You may not believe it, but there are also bear meat, wild boar meat, and big insect meat.
The bones of some things are free, deer and rabbit bones, I'll go over to get the bones."
The peddler said as he opened a basket on his load for people to see, and there were seven or eight large bones with meat in it.
