Listen to the "Big Lion" tell the anecdotes of Tianjin Wei in the old years
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, outside the north gate of Tianjin was the place where the Qinglou leading bodies were gathered, and these large and small groups were divided into upper, middle, and lower classes, and the inferior teams needed to add the word "lower place" after the signboard to distinguish the differences with the upper and middle teams.
In the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1929 AD, at about 10:00 p.m. on July 18, a fat grandfather came to an inferior group called "Fushun Class" with a big belly sac alone, and as soon as he entered the door, he called for the "red sister" Xiao Hongbao in this team to wait.
"Lead Mother" Ya number "Pink Jasmine", in the early years was hou family after the "Sanxi Class" popular sister, now sit in the "Fushun Class" big boss seat, receiving people and treating things all by a pair of eyes and a mouth, no matter whether you are a fairy tiger dog, or a birth of the end of the ugly, as long as you are glanced at by Pink Jasmine, its true identity can guess eight or nine inseparable from ten.
The fat master entered the door, and Pink Jasmine hurriedly tossed the three inches of golden lotus to meet him, glanced at a raw face, quickly looked up and down, followed by a nose and a smell, knowing that this fat grandfather had drunk wine, and had not drunk less.
Just by looking at the dress, Pink Jasmine dares to believe that this fat master is a trader, and it is not a small business, not a money bank, or a business, otherwise it cannot be dressed so glamorously. Besides, if he were a poor man, there would be no such two hundred pounds of cysts.
Pink Jasmine pulled the fat master to sit down and talk, and the big teapot quickly poured water on the tea and served the fruit plate snack. Pink Jasmine first made a big offering, and then asked the fat grandfather what his surname was, which person's clan, what big deal he did, what kind of signboard guibao was, and so on.
These inquiries have always been the main topic of greeting between the leading mother of the Qinglou team and the guests, and only when the identity of the guests is clearly inquired about, can they know what dishes to order.
Fat Ye had no interest in Pink Jasmine's inquiry, took out two pieces of the current ocean and patted them on the table, speaking in a thick Lubei accent, and said: "I want Little Red Treasure tonight, what are the words to wait for me to see Little Red Treasure." ”
Pink Jasmine glanced at this is a prism that eats raw rice, there is a fire in her heart that cannot be openly sent, and it is still herself who has offended the grandfather, so she has to let the big teapot shout out the little red treasure to meet the guests.
Without waiting for Little Red Treasure to go downstairs, Fat Grandpa went upstairs first, entered Little Red Treasure's house, closed the door, and did not allow outsiders to disturb him.
On the fifth day, the little red treasure suddenly shouted from the house. Pink Jasmine heard that the movement was not right, and quickly led the people upstairs. Little Red Treasure ran out of the house with a frightened face, and Pink Jasmine asked her what had happened? Little Ruby was in a mess, only knowing to cry, not to speak.
Pink Jasmine said in her heart that it was not good, I was afraid that it was a human life, otherwise Little Red Treasure could not be scared into this way. Hurriedly entering the house to the side of the bed, I saw the fat man lying on his back motionless. Pink Jasmine has a lot of knowledge, these years often some weak body guest grandpa because of the "immediate wind" and violent death, reach out to touch the fat grandpa's wrist, has no pulse, and then probe the sniffle, has no sniffle. Just by virtue of her pink jasmine hand, she could be sure that the fat master was dead, and that he was too dead to die anymore.
Pink Jasmine did not panic, stabilized Little Red Treasure's emotions, and let Little Red Treasure talk about the past.
Little Red Treasure said that since the fat master entered the house, he had not spoken much, his face had been calm, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. After the good thing, the fat grandpa went to sleep, about five times, the fat grandpa suddenly woke up, saying that the house was too hot, some held his breath, his head was still a little dizzy, and he thought of the outside ventilation. He was about to sit up when he was talking, and who knew that he had just sat up and fell down again, and then he gasped heavily, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, and suddenly he stopped making a sound. Asked him what was wrong, he didn't speak. Shake him, he is motionless. That's what happened.
Pink Jasmine comforted Little Red Treasure, this matter is purely accidental, blame the fat grandfather for his short life, and complain about others. Then he instructed the people to call the deputy master, this is a case of human life, and the deputy grandfather must come forward.
The so-called deputy master is the title of the military police of the Tianjin Wei in the past, and all those with large brimmed hats are called vice masters by whether the pipe is patrolling the street or the pipe piece, and whether the pipe is on the water or on land.
The deputy grandfather who manages fushun class is named Li Zhihe, who is quite a good person, and he holds the filial piety of the buyers and sellers in the jurisdiction area every month, and naturally has to do things for people.
Li Zhihe came to Fushun class with his deputy Zhang Xian, first inquired about the past, and then went upstairs to see the corpse. Li Zhihe let Zhang Xian carefully examine it to make sure that there were no wounds on the fat master's body, and there was no sign of fighting at the scene, indicating that everything Xiao Hongbao said was true, and this fat grandfather who did not know what identity belonged to natural death, not murder.
Li Zhihe had been a vice-grandfather for twenty years, and he did not dare to say that he knew all the traders of Tianjin Wei, but a large part of them he knew were nothing more than the problem of unfamiliarity. And this fat master he still saw for the first time, and he couldn't find any documents on his body that could prove his identity, which made Li Zhihe a little embarrassed.
With empirical analysis, Li Zhihe believes that Pink Jasmine has lost his eyes this time, and the reason he gave is that the Fushun class belongs to the inferior team, and whether it is decoration or environment, it is incomparable to the superior team. In addition, the twenty or so sisters who are raised are either old or ugly, only a small red treasure looks quite smooth, and the guests who usually come here to consume are a bargain, if this fat grandfather is a big grandfather, it is reasonable to say that he should go to a better place, and will never bend to this "lower place".
Based on this alone, Li Zhihe believed that this fat grandfather was not a big businessman, and his income was limited, and he did not have money to go to a better place to play, so he found Fushun Class. The reason why he wanted Xiao Ruby to serve by name was because only Little Ruby in the team still looked like a person. Since they are all consumption, who doesn't want to find someone who looks like a person, and who is willing to put money on the pig?
In addition, Li Zhihe carefully looked at the face of the fat master, although the fat master's face did not have too many wrinkles, but he could guess that this person was at least fifty miles away. Alone in the Fu Shun class, most of them are old bare sticks with no wives and children. Otherwise, his family was in a foreign country, and he came to Tianjin alone to do things, only because he was empty and lonely, so he came here for recreation. As for why he didn't speak, I'm afraid that he would lose his horse's foot in words, and let people know that he was just pretending to be a grandfather, not a real grandfather, so he could say one sentence less, and he would never say more than half a sentence.
Li Zhihe gave Fan Jasmine an idea, asking Pink Jasmine to first find a trading house in charge of funerals to store the body, and then look for the newspaper office to publish a three-day search for the body to see if anyone came to identify the body. He was not idle on his side, and the two ends worked hard together, estimating that he would soon know who the deceased really was.
Sure enough, Li Zhihe was experienced enough, and it only took one day to know the true identity of the deceased. A young man with a Lubei accent also read the newspaper and went to the police station to explain his identity with the deceased.
He said that his name was Peng Yanfeng, and that the deceased was his uncle, named Peng Bingwu, who was also from Zouping, Shandong. Uncle Peng Bingwu originally served in the Zouping County Bureau, ate well, drank well, and socialized continuously, so he was obese. My uncle was too clueless when he was young, so he was infected with "dirty disease" and had no children. The aunt thought he was "dirty" and didn't live with him well, and later, she simply eloped with a small instructor to Jinan. After the aunt left, the uncle did not remarry, these years have been living alone, as long as there is money in the pocket, they will go to find flowers and ask for willows, so there is no savings in these years, a fat body and the clothes on the body, it is only a deceptive cover, outsiders at first glance, will think that he is a grandfather, in fact, a fake.
As for why he came to Tianjin from Shandong, Peng Yanfeng said that there was a fellow in Tianjin who did business writing a letter asking his uncle to come to Tianjin to help take care of the bookkeeping and bookkeeping of the business. His uncle was worried that he couldn't find anything to do in his hometown, so he took him to Tianjin. After finding the fellow who wrote a letter inviting his uncle to come to Tianjin, the two uncles and nephews settled down, and these days they took advantage of the free time to walk around the east and west, and the uncle must have been attracted to the world of flowers and flowers, and he made old mistakes, which killed Fu Shunban.
Peng Yanfeng also said that a few days ago, when he saw his uncle and his compatriots borrow a few pieces of the current ocean, he knew that his uncle wanted to find flowers and ask for willows, and as a nephew, he was not easy to persuade, so he could only see it and pretend not to see it. After dinner the day before yesterday, he saw his uncle change into the frightening outfit, so he guessed what his uncle was going to do. After the uncle left, what should he continue to do, did not expect to come over for a night, did not see the uncle come back, he had a premonition that the uncle was eighty percent of the accident, because he knew that the uncle's physique was not good, the fat body was simply fat, the outside was strong, the appearance was quite intimidating, in fact, the inside was empty.
It wasn't until his fellow villagers took the newspaper for him to read that he learned that his uncle had died in the group. He was an honest man, and he did not take the opportunity to blackmail, only hoping that the team would pay for a coffin and try to send his uncle back to his hometown to be buried.
Li Zhihe believes that Peng Yanfeng's words are not unreasonable, after all, people have died in Fushun class, and Fushun class has the obligation to take care of the aftermath of the deceased.
Therefore, Li Zhihe, believing that Peng Bingwu was old, ill, and in the heat of the day, died violently due to the invasion of the heat, did not pursue the responsibility of Fushun Class, but Fu shun class must accede to Peng Yanfeng's request, send Peng Bingwu's body back to his original hometown for burial, and also need to pay Peng Yanfeng a resettlement fee. If Peng Yanfeng had no objection, he closed the case and was not allowed to pursue it in the future.
Pink Jasmine naturally wants more than less, at most it is to lose some money, and finally keep the sale. And Peng Yanfeng is also an honest person with no intentions, knowing that the responsibility is not all in Fushun class, naturally willing to calm down this matter quickly. The two sides signed and pressed their fingerprints on the letter of guarantee in front of Li Zhihe, and no dispute occurred.
However, the matter was not settled, and several newspapers in Jinmen seized on this matter and did not let go, adding oil and vinegar, and playing the tragic card to increase newspaper sales, so that for a period of time, the streets and alleys were all talking about this matter, one by one, it was not a big deal to see the hilarity, but none of them sympathized with the deceased. The teahouse storyteller naturally could not miss this opportunity to adapt the death of "false grandfather" Peng Bingwu into a small paragraph to attract the audience. The author also heard this old thing from the mouth of the older generation, and Wrote today's article.
