Chapter 156: Holding on to Injustice
Qin Chuan is very familiar with Guan Lang, so he naturally knows his temperament. In terms of money, the views of the two are surprisingly the same, that is, they can take their lives, but they can't take money. Otherwise, Guan Lang would not have chosen to spend two incense sticks to nourish Qinchuan by fishing for crucian carp.
Seeing Guan Lang trembling and taking out the copper coin in his hand, his face was even more gloomy, and he grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands and didn't dare to speak, but he had a rather helpless, but accustomed feeling.
Only then did Qin Chuan take a good look at the other side, they were all dressed in tatters, but there was the most arrogant on their faces, and there was even a trace of fierceness in their eyes, and they couldn't figure out what they were coming from.
The leader of the other party was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a head full of leprosy, holding the copper coins found from Guan Lang's body, slowly weighing them in his hand, and suddenly stretched out his hand and punched Guan Lang: "I said that I can't see you in recent days, it turns out that you are happy and happy, otherwise you can't only have so much money on your body." Why, just because you also want to enroll in Bailu Academy. Bah, lowly life, do you really think it's a high-class species? If you can't pay five taels of silver today, don't want to get out of here!"
Guan Lang explained in a low voice: "Brother Lai Zi, I really don't have any money. Or you will forgive me a few more days. After saying that, Guan Lang trembled even more, as if he knew the fierceness of the person in front of him.
There was a young man next to Brother Lai Zi, who was snotty at the moment, and said with bad intentions: "Brother Lai Zi, don't listen to him cry poor." I saw him come back with a dozen crucian carp today. How can I afford this if I don't have any money on me? I've fished before, but I haven't seen one in a while. ”
After hearing that Guan Lang could afford to eat crucian carp, Lai Zige punched Guan Lang's head again, and a rare muffled sound came.
saw Guan Lang being punched again, but he was even more wooden, not shouting pain, nor dodging. Guan Lang, who has always talked a lot, said very few words at the moment, and he didn't have the slightest intention of running away, it seemed that he was indeed in trouble. Looking at this situation, it should be because Guan Lang borrowed someone else's money, but he was shy in his pocket and couldn't take it out.
Qin Chuan came from the other side, flashed in front of Guan Lang, and looked at the few people who were a head taller than him and said with a smile on their faces: "Brothers, I am Guan Lang's friend, I don't know where he provoked you, I will accompany him instead." ”
Brother Lai Zi looked at Qin Chuan carefully, seeing that he was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, and there were no pendants and other things on his body, he should also be an ordinary person, and he thought about it in his heart and smiled: "I didn't expect Guan Lang to have good friends in Qingzhou City." Okay, you pay the five taels of silver for Guan Lang, and we'll turn around and leave. If you can't hand it over, I'll turn around and take you back, our Evergreen Gang is not easy to mess with. ”
Hearing the words of the Evergreen Gang, Qin Chuan seemed to understand the origin of the person in front of him.
Qingzhou City is located in a remote area, and most of the young adults in the family go to other states to earn a living, often leaving their young children at home. Some people never come back after they have become prosperous, or they die in a foreign land and never return to this place. For various reasons, some people with a heart have formed the Evergreen Gang, whether it is a person who has lost his parents since childhood, or a teenager who can't eat enough, as long as he joins the Evergreen Gang, he will get a mouthful of hot porridge. After all, they have the name of the Evergreen Gang, and ordinary people don't bully them easily.
However, this bowl of hot porridge is not so delicious. Although it can temporarily fill your stomach, you have to pay a sum of money to the Evergreen Gang every month. Whether you steal the silver bag of a wealthy merchant passing by, knock on the bamboo pole of a romantic man or woman in the middle of the night, or come to the door to ask for money on a big day, no matter what tricks you play, you will have to hand over the money at that time. Otherwise, you will break your hands and feet, throw them on the street and ask for food, and give all the money you get to the Evergreen Gang.
For Guan Lang, who was desperate, he just had to fill his stomach at that time, but he didn't know that there would be so many troubles later.
Qin Chuan looked at Guan Lang and asked slowly, "Is what he said true?"
Guan Lang nodded, and then shook his head: "I used to be a member of the Evergreen Gang, but Tian Sifa Tian said that as long as I have saved enough fifty taels of silver, you can release me from the Evergreen Gang, and I will no longer trouble me from now on." Before the New Year, after I gave him fifty taels of silver, I knew that he had squandered it and flatly denied it. It was the money I had accumulated for three years in a stall outside Bailu Academy, and he said that he had not received it, and naturally no one believed me. That's why the Evergreen gang beat me up when they saw me. ”
Qin Chuan looked at Guan Lang, his face did not fluctuate in the slightest, but he was angry in his heart, he stayed with Qin Chuan for several months, he was quite familiar with Guan Lang, although he sometimes likes to take advantage of some advantages, but he is definitely not a ruthless person. Therefore, Qin Chuan believed that Guan Lang gave the silver money he had accumulated for three years to the so-called Tian Shotou, but that person swallowed the silver money privately.
Therefore, Qin Chuan said to the few people in front of him: "My brother said that the silver money has been given to the Tian Gang of the Evergreen Gang, so it will be given." He has nothing to do with your Evergreen Gang, and I ask you to let him go, and there will be no more contact with him in the future. Otherwise, I'll have to report to the police. ”
Hearing that Qin Chuan was going to report to the official, several people behind Lai Zige laughed: "Are you afraid that you don't know how many official words you have?"
Guan Lang leaned in behind him at this time and said: "It's useless to report to the official, the leader of the Evergreen Gang often goes to Zhou Youliang's mansion to give gifts, and the hunt in Qingzhou City will not stand out for us poor people." It's okay for me to be beaten, but I can't miss your spring exam at White Deer Academy. ”
Guan Lang's expression was natural at the moment, his head was held high, and he said to the young man with leprosy: "Brother Lai Zi, this person is my new friend, he has nothing to do with this matter, you let him go, I will take you to get the money." ”
However, hearing this, Qin Chuan didn't believe it in his heart, before coming to the used book stall, Guan Lang had already put the last silver money on his body, and wanted to give it a go for the spring test of Bailu Academy, although he didn't know whether the exam questions in Qin Chuan's hand were true, but he still accompanied him. However, when it comes to silver money, where does he have it, it is nothing more than letting Qin Chuan go first, and he will be beaten again.
When Brother Lai Zi heard this, he didn't believe Guan Lang, but stretched out his palm: "Ten taels of silver." Otherwise, the two of you will return to the Evergreen Gang with me today and confront Tian in person. If he says that he took your money, I will naturally let you go, otherwise I will have to wronged you...... Stuck in the dungeon. ”
Hearing the word dungeon, Qin Chuan felt that Guan Lang suddenly trembled behind him, this dungeon of the Evergreen Gang, it should be very terrifying inside, although he has not been there, but even Guan Lang, who has a hippie smile, will be so frightened, and he can guess where this is going.
Since the reasoning doesn't make sense, then I will be hard! I am not to blame for the previous years, but now I will try my best to protect it to the end.
Since Guan Lang has become my Qin Chuan's brother today, then I can't let him be bullied in any way. The eldest husband walks in the world by virtue of a morality.
The old Tao said that the road in this world is only the one that makes sense. So what's the point? Fist has the final say.
"I only said once, the money was given. If you want to ask for it again, you won't have a penny!" Qin Chuan looked awe-inspiring and said with his head held high.
Seeing Qin Chuan like this, Brother Lai Zi smiled: "What, just the two of you, do you want to rebel? Don't forget, even if you can fight, can you beat the Evergreen Gang?"
