Seeing Pan Ke's shiny pistol on his waist, Xiong Xuejun was so scared that he shivered. He kept saying, "This boss, I'm telling the truth. If you find out that I've told a lie later, you will shoot me."

"Okay, you said you didn't tell any lies. You'll know when you arrived at the police station later." Pan Kewei glared at them and said.

Seeing Xiong Xuejun and Wu Hancheng standing there blankly, Pan Kewei cursed: "Why are you so brave just now? Why are you fools now?"

Pan Kewei said, pointing to Li Qinglin in military uniform with his hand, and said, "This is Commander Li. If he hadn't pleaded for you and would have taken you in, I would have sent you to the police station for a few days to eat. Why don't you thank him quickly?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Xiong Xuejun and Wu Hancheng were awakened, and they bowed to Li Qinglin to thank you.

Li Qinglin has been observing the two. Through observing their words and deeds, Li Qinglin found that they were not the kind of person who was a clever and lazy person who was tempted by the wind, so he became more determined to accept them.

Li Qinglin waved his hand and said, "You have heard it just now. In the future, we will follow me not to enjoy happiness, but to join the army and eat food. The army has military rules. If you still do such a thing in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

Xiong Xuejun and Wu Hancheng said ashamed: "Sir, we are also desperate and obsessed with ghosts. We promise not to do such things again in the future. We must be a clean and honest person."

After the matter was resolved, everyone continued to rush to Ji Wancheng's snack shop.

Ji Wancheng's dim sum shop really manages Shaanxi dim sum. Some traditional Shaanxi dim sums such as oil cakes, Jishan mohua, Yiwan Kuai, Wenxi boiled cakes, Mengfeng cakes, etc. are filled with shelves.

In order to buy a lot of Shanxi snacks, Li Qinglin asked Ding Goudan to bring them up. Everyone rushed to the police station to confirm the authenticity of what Xiong Xuejun and the others just said.

After entering the police station, Pan Ke showed the military bureau certificate, and the police on duty immediately took everyone to the director's office. After learning, what Xiong Xuejun said was true. The headmaster of the Hou family class is still locked in prison, waiting for the acrobatic team to hand over the final ransom to release the person.

It turned out that what Xiong Xuejun said was true, and Pan Kewei was furious.

The police chief was still a wink, so he quickly called his subordinates to release the headmaster of the Hou family class immediately. The director repeatedly apologized to Pan Kewei and others, and repeatedly promised to strictly enforce discipline and punish those who were corrupt and abused the law this time.

The director's initiative made Pan Kewei feel embarrassed to get angry again. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you guys, let's go." After that, he took the Hou family's headmaster and everyone who had just been released out of the police station.

After leaving the police station, Li Qinglin took out a few silver dollars from his pocket and threw it to Master Hou, saying, "You have suffered this time. Your disciples will do illegal things for you. Treat them well after you go back."

As he said that, he pointed to Xiong Xuejun and Wu Hancheng and said, "I will take them away. From now on, I will follow me to join the army and eat food."

Among the group, Pan Ke was wearing a suit and only Li Qinglin was wearing a military uniform of a major in the National Army, and behind him was Ding Goudan, who was obviously a guard. Master Hou did not know the cause and effect, so he regarded Li Qinglin as his life savior. He saw his knees soft and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, sir, for saving your life."

Li Qinglin quickly pulled Master Hou and said, "Don't do this, you have suffered an unjust injustice. We are just a simple task. We really can't be treated as such a great gift like you."

Master Hou held the silver dollars in his hand and said to Xiong Xuejun and Wu Hancheng: "You have followed me to learn the art for many years. The master is not famous for his writing now, so there is really nothing to give to you. This commander is a good person, and he will take good care of you. You must work hard after him. With your hard-working spirit when learning the art, you will have a good future."

Xiong Xuejun and Wu Hancheng did learn skills with the head teacher in the Hou family class for many years, and the relationship between the master and the apprentice was very deep, otherwise they would not have risked breaking the law to raise money for the head master Hou. Now the master and the apprentice are about to part. Xiong Xuejun and the two are crying and nodding frequently, obviously remembering Hou's head master's instructions.

After seeing off Master Hou, Li Qinglin asked Ding Goudan to call a rickshaw, and everyone started to head to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Guild Hall.

After entering the gate of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guild Hall, a young man came up to him. Pan Kewei handed over his business card and asked him to meet the owner.

The young man took the business card and entered the inner room. After a while, the young man ran out quickly and said that the owner had invited him.

The guild hall is a feudal group composed of fellow townsmen or peers in the city during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The earliest guild hall known to date is the Wuhu guild hall built in Beijing during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he advocated studying. In the 13th year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, the imperial examination was resumed. Therefore, scholars from all over the country gathered in the capital to become famous overnight.

After years of hard study, many of these scholars were generally in poor families. Because their hometown accents were difficult to change, they were often bullied by some bad shops in some minor matters such as renting hotels. Some fellow villagers who arrived in Beijing early and had become officials or businessmen were very sympathetic to these young villagers. They invited each other to raise funds and acquire real estate for the candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam and to plan for the residents and travelers to stay. Therefore, the guild halls came into being. Because they were mainly for the candidates who took the exam, many guild halls were called "test halls" at this time.

The capital economy flourished during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and some successful businessmen also began to open clubhouses in Beijing and other places. Because the clubhouses they opened generally only absorbed people from the same industry, and in order to maximize profits, these people used their dominant position in the industry to form an industry monopoly, which is also called "travel hall".

There are also some guild halls composed purely of immigrants, which is an organization similar to a fellow country association. As for fellow countrymen in the same region, they use guild halls, gatherings, banquets, sacrifices to Xi'an, taking care of villagers, or contacting fellow countrymen, etc., some blind dates in distress can also be temporarily stayed at the guild hall, or seeking help from fellow countrymen.

After the abolition of the imperial examination in the 13th year of the Guangxu period, the function of the guild hall to receive the students was completely lost. However, officials, businessmen, scholars, students, etc. still used the guild hall to strengthen contact with fellow villagers. The purpose was to contact fellow villagers and combine fellow villagers together to form a force to crack down on exclusion of political enemies, coordinate industrial and commercial business, deal with competition from peers, take care of fellow villagers and others.

Pan Kewei's Military Control Commission attached great importance to this social relationship. Dai Li once told that all military control personnel should make friends with people from all walks of life, five elements and eight works, because these people come from all walks of life and their news is extremely well-informed.

Because of the complicated affairs, the guild hall usually has a manager or manager to manage the property, contact personnel and handle miscellaneous matters. Pan Kewei directly finds the owner, which is indeed a way to achieve twice the result with half the effort...
