In fact, Chen Jie felt that he was quite happy to come to the bustling city of Beijing. The only regret was that after he came to Xiajing, he didn’t do anything except hang around the pier every day. Instead, he let him accept a dozen younger brothers and a group of ruffians. It was pleasant to have a noble behind him.
The West Pier is a seagoing wharf. Gangs have long occupied the site cleanly. When Chen Jie first arrived, he didn’t dare to find fault, so he took a dozen people to do some work to help people negotiate. From time to time, he joined a local temple and went to Crossroads to get some money at the beginning of the month. It was also moist.
A sea breeze blew. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Chen Jie turned to look at the tall sailing boat and said, "If I can have a boat one day, I will really eat and drink."
"It’s eating and drinking boats, isn’t it?" The young man with a bunt next to him smiled and looked down the dock. "If you ask me, there are dozens of acres of paddy fields to hire someone who doesn’t worry about anything, let alone go out to sea."
"I worry too much." Naturally, someone retorted, "Don’t those shipowners sleep ashore every day? A wife with a field to sleep and a woman with a boat to sleep have nothing to sleep with … "
"I think you are ready to sell your ass …" Life on the dock has always been rough and you are not angry when you scold each other.
Chen Jie doesn’t like this kind of atmosphere very much. His family has received a basic education and has been in charge. He claims to be half a scholar, but his eyes are full of food. Where can he be picky? Find something to make a living first and then find a way to flee.
Seeing the boss’s impatient expression, several people stopped following him. Someone said a new topic, "Is the boss Mr. Cheng really a second-class star warlock?"
"It’s a two-star warlock who doesn’t study. You two Ada Amao, I think it’s Tom, dick and Harry." Chen Jie pointed to two people who followed him and scolded their faces but smiled. He thought Cheng Jinzhou was a glorious one. This two-star warlock title was almost a stimulant.
He had just finished saying that Amao patted his forehead hard and said, "I said that the two-star warlock is so familiar with me, but I heard it today."
"Who’s here?" Chen Jiema asked him to accept this dozen people as if they were lying outside the rotten leaves and fleas. However, I don’t know what happened in the leaves, but I won’t miss them at all. It is well-informed money that they can eat raw in the cracks between gangsters and government businessmen.
"The rice gang Lao Yao let people sleep in the Goulan early this morning, but it was no good to pull them out of bed. Later, people said something about a two-star warlock, and he followed them." Amao said in front of something new that Chen Jie looked somberly and knew something was wrong, and hurriedly added, "There are seven rice gangs transporting grain in the maritime business. It is said that Lao Yao can always rush to the front of the rice gang when he kills ten materials. If he does something, he must be the first to kill them."
"It’s always women who break things. You didn’t hear what they said."
Amao shook his head and added, "They said that I didn’t listen to it until I had breakfast, but I knew her and I must have listened clearly."
Goulan Court cooks food for guests the first day, and if there are leftovers in the morning the next day, they will come with people to eat-of course, it is not too much to say that people are beggars and so on, but it means that Lai Han can’t afford to buy peace.
Chen Jie rubbed out a small ingot of silver from the sleeve and handed it to Amao. "You go and say hello and come back immediately. If I talk to Cheng Guyou, I can’t delay for a moment."
Before he took the silver, Mao shrank his hands again. "Brothers, it’s up to you to eat bran and swallow vegetables or eat spicy food. If you dare to miss the opportunity, it’s not just me who will cut you."
Amao swallowed, his eyes still staring at the silver. It’s a huge sum of money. How can they have access to the whole ingot of silver on weekdays?
Others look at Chen Jie strangely. He thinks that there are many two-star warlocks in summer, but usually it is only after having the title of second-class warlock that the title of two-star warlock is rare. People usually call it grade instead of star, but they will be called two-star warlock. He can think of Cheng Jinzhou alone.
This is a great opportunity.
Chen Jie held his fist tightly.

Chapter one hundred and fifteen Fierceness (1)
As usual, it is necessary to clear the field outside the ceremony yard, but after all, it is the pattern of having obtained the provincial examination. The soldiers are not serious about passing pedestrians and do not expel them. They just row in the coil to keep the door open.
This is the bustling location of the second gate, and there are no porters near the courtyard wall. In the past, operators were all trying to get rid of it, but today they don’t know how to manage it, including the government officials, and they are also happy to relax.
It seems that the winter is over, and many vendors are waiting for the students to come out for the exam. The heavy mental activity that lasts all day will greatly arouse young people’s desire to disappear.
Chen Jie changed into a tight-fitting bunt and put on a blue robe to strangle his slightly protruding belly. It looks like a businessman. He sat in a small tofu stall not far from the ceremony house and asked the busy proprietress, "You are only two or three hundred meters away from the ceremony house?"
"There was a white service to draw a line before. Today, I don’t know why no one came to draw a line. Usually, we are all at the front. Now people are squeezing forward. We can’t let us go to the back." The proprietress hung up the red lantern when she spoke very neatly and laughed. "If we get to the back, we will definitely not get the business. You are doing big business. How about trying our bean cakes? Fresh beans are all famous for dipping sauce in Beijing. "
"Then have a piece and bring me a bowl of soybean milk." Chen Jie said, throwing a piece of broken silver the size of a fingernail on the table and continued to ask, "Do your family know this piece of business?"
"In the past, it was the business of students in Liyuan, but today there are more people who come to do business with Kao Wenqu Xing." The proprietress said that she would drain the cooked peanuts and put them on a small dish for Chen Jie to laugh. "Usually, this big day can earn hundreds of dollars, but now there are too many people and no one cares."
In the last sentence, she will definitely not ask people to show interest when they are interested.
"Do you know how many people stand behind that?"
It’s Amao. He sits behind Chen Jie, wearing a cotton hat that can cover his ears, wrapped in a scarf, and because he heard that cotton-padded clothes can stop the sword, he simply wears two pieces. The whole person is bulging like a quilt to go out.
The wife of shop-owner saw his one eye and couldn’t help laughing. "I don’t even know that there are three men in the shed selling spring cakes in front. Because of our place, I asked my own men to see it and it was pushed back. I think that … gentlemen in Harmony Lane often say that they don’t care anymore, but they are given a day."
She quickly handed the silver horn to her own man and laughed. "Let you laugh. We don’t have a scale at the small door. I’ll let the man go to the pharmacy in front and weigh it. Let’s have a look at the little brother."
"It’s right to be kind and make money." Chen Jie smiled and raised his soy milk and drank two times and waved his hand. "Don’t make trouble."
The proprietress was overjoyed and smiled. "Thank you. I’ll make you another dried shrimps with bean skin."
"Good" Chen Jie smiled and patted Amao. "Go and see if they have found a hotel."
