I am a temporary worker in Jinyiwei, how did I become a powerful official?

Chapter 50 Oh, okay, I won!
In Beijing, pigeons are kept in a pigeon shed with 20 pigeons, and each shed is divided into two or three groups.

Three or five pairs of pigeons make a flock. The saying "three or five make a flock" comes from this.

The hooligans who keep pigeons usually have at least two or three pigeon lofts, and at most ten.

There are more than 500 thugs, and they probably raise about 50,000 pigeons in total.

In the evening, a spectacular scene began.

The hooligans had followed Lin Shisan's instructions and brushed pea cake paste on the pigeon tails of their own pigeons.

At dusk, they each opened the pigeon lofts at home and waved wooden sticks with colorful strips. Fifty thousand pigeons flew into the sky from all directions of the capital.

The sound of pigeons' cooing resounded through the sky, spread throughout the capital, and even alarmed Emperor Jiajing in the Western Garden.

Emperor Jiajing said to Huang Jin, who was serving him, "Why are there so many pigeon calls in the capital tonight? They are really pleasant to the ears. Tell the bird house to close the pigeon cages tightly to prevent my imperial pigeons from being taken away by wild pigeons."

Emperor Jiajing could never have imagined that the loud noise of pigeons' crows in the capital tonight was caused by his own slave, a small captain in the Jinyiwei.

Lin Shisan and Sun Yue sat by the small silver mountain in the backyard of Feinu Store, waiting for someone to come and hand in a pigeon to win the first prize.

Pigeon Liu's concubine "Big White Pigeon" diligently poured tea and served fruit plates to Lin Shisan and Sun Yue, and occasionally cast a wink at Lin Shisan.

Lin Shisan remained unmoved and said respectfully, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Seeing that he didn't understand the situation, the "Big White Dove" turned to flirt with Sun Yue. Sun Yue was so greedy that his mouth was about to drool. The two of them exchanged glances, which was simply like a seduce.

Lin Shisan coughed awkwardly. Then the "Big White Dove" twisted his waist and left.

Sun Yue whispered, "It is indeed white."

Lin Shisan scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. You shouldn't be polite to your friend's wife. You shouldn't bully her. This is the principle of life."

Sun Yue smiled and said, "I am just enjoying the sight."

Lin Shisan asked: "You have some at home. Why do you covet others'?"

Sun Yue cried, "When I was two years old, my father married me to a 24-year-old child bride. That tigress is almost 40 years old this year."

"If I had your financial resources, Master, I would marry a vixen-like concubine."

The two waited from dusk until midnight.

Lin Shisan leaned against the small silver mountain and dozed off.

Sun Yue lay on the table, snoring loudly, his saliva flowing like a river.

At the same time, there was a wild pigeon nest among the branches at the top of a poplar tree in the north of the city.

The white bow-tailed pigeon and a wild female pigeon were very affectionate.

The day before yesterday, it was circling over Xianliang Temple and encountered this passionate wild female pigeon. It immediately followed her. The two pigeons got married on this poplar tree.

The habit of the white-feathered bow-tail is to forage for food at night. It reluctantly left its newly married pigeon wife and flew out of the pigeon nest.

At this moment, a group of pigeons flew past it, and it smelled a strong pea scent from these pigeons.

Peas were the favorite delicacy of its ancestors in their hometown in Southeast Asia.

Its nature overwhelmed its attachment to its newlywed pigeon wife. It actually mixed into the flock of pigeons and followed them flying farther and farther.
South City, Dafen Lane.

Dafen Lane is where the dung workers in Beijing live. At the south end of Den Lane there is a dilapidated courtyard.

Living in the courtyard was a low-level thug named Jiang Tianyang, who was in his twenties.

Jiang Tianyang's four generations were all dung workers. They had been dealing with stinky dung since the Yongle Dynasty. When he was sixteen, his father fell into the dung ditch and drowned. He secretly vowed to himself that he must get rid of dung in this life and make a name for himself.

So he worshipped the guiding master and joined the team.

To put it bluntly, Guohuo is a local thug. Although he can usually walk around the streets and yell, the neighbors in Dafen Lane always stab him in the back.

We in Dafen Lane are all law-abiding people who earn our livings by our own strength. How come a scum like Jiang Tianyang appeared?

Jiang's mother was also very angry about him joining the gang: You little bastard, you are not following the right path!
The low-level minions of the pot gang actually don’t make much money.

Master Yinlu felt sorry for Jiang Tianyang and suggested that he wrap pigeons and taught him the technique.

To wrap pigeons, you have to raise a flock of pigeons. Jiang Tianyang took out the money that the dung shop gave to his family as compensation for their lives and bought half a shed of pigeons.

When Jiang's mother learned about this, she was so angry that she cried and blinded her eyes: That was the money your father exchanged his life for. You exchanged your father's life for a group of pigeons?
Jiang Tianyang patiently explained to his mother: What I got in exchange for my father's life-saving money was not a flock of pigeons, but a chance for our family to turn things around.

During the past four or five years, Jiang Tianyang had been very unlucky and had never caught any valuable ornamental or homing pigeons.

The little money he earned from hunting wild and domestic pigeons was barely enough for him and his blind mother to fill their stomachs.

But Jiang Tianyang didn't believe that his life would be worthless. He firmly believed that he would be able to stand out one day.

It is better to bully an old man than a young man who is poor. One day, a dragon will marry a phoenix. I don't believe that I will be born with nothing!

At this moment, Jiang Tianyang stood in front of his pigeon shed, quietly waiting for the pigeons to return. He dreamed that his beloved pigeons would bring back a pigeon with feathers like white gauze, tail like a bow and arrow, beak like blazing fire, and eyes like gold - white feather bow tail.

Jiang Tianyang fantasized: With it, I can win the prize of 800 taels in the pigeon wrapping race. I can move out of Dafen Lane, marry a wife, have a son, buy a decent courtyard house, and buy dozens of acres of good land in Wanping or Daxing. I will no longer be the lowest person in the capital.

It was already late at night. Jiang Tianyang fell asleep due to strong sleepiness.

In a trance, he had a beautiful dream, dreaming that a white-feathered bow-tailed pigeon was swaying in front of his eyes. A moment later, the pigeon turned into a beautiful woman, who was carrying a shoulder pole. There was a basket at each end of the shoulder pole, and the baskets were full of white silver.
Jiang Tianyang didn't know how long he had slept. With a "pop", a pile of fresh and juicy pigeon droppings fell on his face.

Jiang Tianyang opened his eyes, wiped the pigeon droppings off his face with his hands, and cursed: "What bad luck! I can't live without droppings for the rest of my life."

While he was cursing, he suddenly saw a pigeon landed in the dovecote. The pigeon was as white as a yarn, and its tail was like a bow and arrow. It was exactly the white-feathered bow-tailed pigeon he had seen in his dream.

Jiang Tianyang was stunned. He rubbed his eyes hard - I'm not dazzled.

Then he pinched his thigh hard and it hurt - I wasn't dreaming.

The white-feathered bowtail strolls leisurely in the dovecote.

Jiang Tianyang picked up the pigeon net standing beside the pigeon shed and tiptoed over. He suddenly pulled down the pigeon net with force. The white-feathered bow-tailed pigeon fell into the net!

Jiang Tianyang reached into the pigeon net and pinched the wings of the white-feathered pigeon.

He remembered what Captain Lin of the Jinyiwei had said: the white feather bow tail cannot be put into a pigeon cage, otherwise it will hit the cage pillar and die. You can only tie the legs with a rope and put it on your arm.

He did the same thing, tying its legs and also tying up the opportunity to change his own destiny.

After doing all this, Jiang Tianyang shouted: "Ah! Good! I won!"

Blind Jiang's mother was lying on her broken bed at home, cursing, "You beast, what has happened to you? You are crying so loudly in the morning!"

If Jiang's mother was not blind, she would definitely get out of bed and slap him twice. This rebellious son who did not follow the right path broke her heart.

Jiang Tianyang shouted: "I won the first prize in the pigeon wrapping competition!"

This white-feathered bow-tailed pigeon not only changed the fate of the inspector Hu Zongxian and the fate of Jinyi Captain Lin Shisan, but also changed the fate of the little rogue Jiang Tianyang.
Everything in the world is so wonderful.
