The old beggar who was asked to help by the fat man said with a smile.

This old beggar's name is Hong Dafu, and his ancestors have been the chief beggars here in Yingtian for three generations.

Yes, the beggar profession is a skill passed down from family to family.

Leader Hong has no other abilities, but he is able to manage a group of beggars, large and small, in an orderly manner. He is able to explore the potential of each beggar and find a begging strategy that suits them.

In the past two years, Yingtian City has become more and more prosperous.

Gang leader Hong's ambition is also getting stronger and stronger. He is no longer satisfied with ordinary begging for food, but has begun to get involved in some gray area industries.

….

Among them, going to other places to buy some children with disabilities and letting them sell themselves miserably to make money is an emerging avenue.

However, there are not many children with disabilities. You can first buy back some children with sound hands and feet, and then break the hands and feet yourself to make "products" suitable for your own business.

This business was called harvesting and cutting at that time.

Harvesting means buying fresh goods, and cutting means cutting the goods into the shape you need like wood.

As for these goods, they are poor children.

Gang leader Hong was not proficient in this craft originally. He only acquired it after sending people to other sects to learn from it.

After this period of operation, the income can be said to be very considerable.

Now Gang Leader Hong no longer lives in a slum, but has built a large three-bedroom house in Yingtian City. The surrounding neighbors are not only hundreds of thousands of households, but also wealthy businessmen and celebrities.

Moreover, after Gang Leader Hong counts his money here every day, he will put on a clean and decent outfit and return to the city.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they have no idea that this well-dressed man is actually the leader of the Yingtian Beggar Clan.

After some counting, Gang Leader Hong took away the majority of the revenue, and the remaining half was divided among several leaders.

After Gang Leader Hong took the money, he dressed decently, took a carriage, and returned to his mansion in the city, where he began a nightlife of wine and sex.

The chiefs under him also took money, put on clean clothes, and went to the brothel. Each of them ordered one or two Korean girls to live happily.

Everything they did was recorded one by one by the Ying Tianfu secret agent who was secretly watching.

The spies from Yingtianfu Yamen quickly reported the information they found to Hu Weiyong.

As Yingtianfu Yin, Hu Weiyong was not very satisfied with the information he obtained.

"This is the eucalyptus that His Royal Highness the King personally ordered. Now that you have found out these superficial things, how can I explain it to His Highness?"

Hu Weiyong asked sternly to his several spy leaders.

During last year's Hongwu official system reform in the Ming Dynasty, all court officials, large and small, became officials under unified management.

These spies were originally minor officials with little hope of promotion, and they were best at doing the jobs assigned by their superiors.

But since they all became official officials, their original iron rice bowls also faced various tests from the court.

They all restrained their original skills as Shangguan in Hunong, but now they were very frightened when they heard Hu Weiyong's accusation.

This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sir, it's not that you guys don't check carefully. It's true that the beggars are gathering together. If you get closer, you will alert the snake."

"Furthermore, I heard that the leader of the Beggar Clan, Hong, has a very close relationship with several of our Yingtian Mansion's escorts. If there are other things involved, we really can't afford it!"

The two spy leaders explained in unison.

The spies in Yingtian Mansion are of very low rank, and the custodian they just mentioned is the official in charge who holds real power in Yingtian Mansion.

Various figures from three religions and nine streams are often local officials, supplementing the power of the governing party. Many secret personnel and information are often reported to the government through these people from three religions and nine streams.

….

The custodians of various government departments and treasurers are the officials who have direct contact with these people.

"You two idiots, I think you can't tell the difference. All the black gauze hats on our heads belong to the imperial court. His Royal Highness is half of the imperial court. You don't have to bother to check the things he handed down. Why are you still worried?

What kind of guards, I think you are tired of living!" Hu Weiyong said with a cold smile.

The two chief spies were immediately panicked upon hearing this. They knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to Hu Weiyong in apology.

In the Yingtian Mansion, the power of the admissaries is also very great, especially since they are now official officials of the imperial court.

All appointments, removals and penalties must follow formal procedures.

Originally, if the chief officer of Tianfu wanted to punish them, he only needed one sentence.

But now if you want to punish officials at the superintendent level, you must follow formal procedures.

The purpose of this is naturally to prevent local officials from gaining too much power and turning the imperial government into their own hall.

"Get out of here quickly!"

Hu Weiyong waved his hand and drove these two unreasonable guys out.

The information handed over by these two spies was actually not very funny at all. It clearly stated some of the shameful activities of this beggar gang.

Especially Gang Leader Hong, who was able to collect so much money every night, and still be able to spend the day and night in the city, singing and dancing, was definitely not something he could simply ask his subordinates to beg for food.

After the two spy leaders ran out, they arranged for their men to work all night and tried their best to get more detailed information.

Early the next morning.

There is a new thick pile of reports on Hu Weiyong's head.

Hu Weiyong is quite satisfied with these new reports.
