Chapter 103: The Beggar
Han Xiaoyue and Li Jingxian returned to Tanzhou City together, preparing to monitor the movements of the three major Hans. www.biquge.info Although the three big men were reluctant, they had to turn around and return. Li Zhongxuan temporarily bid farewell to Han Xiaoyue and galloped back to Jinling with the dead soldier Li Wei to report the envoys.
According to the etiquette system, the three Han people, as the envoys of the party clan, should stay at the official post. Tanzhou City Guanyi is located in the southwest of the center of Tanzhou, is a two-story small attic. The decoration of the building is simple and plain, and the gray and black style is full of elegance. More than a dozen guards outside the gate are on duty in shifts, and the gate is open on weekdays. Looking in from the outside of the door, there is a large courtyard with stone tables and benches, which are already covered with leaves. There are few people in the courtyard, but there are also soldiers patrolling back and forth. There are three or four inns adjacent to the official post, and one is called "Tanzhou Inn", which is only separated by a narrow alley from the official post. Han Xiaoyue chose this inn to live in, and deliberately chose the location of the second floor facing the street, so that she could always observe the movement outside the audience.
"Even so, we have no way of knowing the actions of those three big men!" Han Xiaoyue said secretly. Li Jingxian thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you let me stay here all the time?" Han Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "Where is the way to keep guarding?" It will take at least seven or eight days to come back from Jinling, so don't you rest these days? ”
Li Jingxian nodded yes and looked out the window. I saw three or four ragged beggars sitting and resting at the corner of the street opposite the official post, chatting and laughing. Li Jingxian had an idea and said, "Brother Han, I have a way!" With that, he ran downstairs with a puff of smoke. Han Xiaoyue looked down by the window, only to see Li Jingxian step forward to talk with a few beggars, and took out some silver taels from his sleeve and stuffed them into them. "And beggars who don't want silver?" Han Xiaoyue thought while watching, and ran back after seeing Li Jingxian for a while.
"No problem! Now it's all right! With that, Li Jingxian ran upstairs and said to Han Xiaoyue. Han Xiaoyue hurriedly asked, "You bribed them with silver to act as eyes and ears?" Li Jingxian nodded and said, "Not bad." It just so happens that those beggars have time, so it is better to let them watch over there. Didn't you say that it would take seven or eight days to get back from Jinling? And I told them to keep an eye on me for ten days, and gave them five taels of silver. Han Xiaoyue said with a suspicious expression: "Seeing how obstructed you seem to be when you give the silver taels, is it possible that these beggars are the ...... What's the problem? ”
Li Jingxian waved his hand and said: "There is nothing wrong with these beggars, but there is a lot of article here!" As he spoke, he lowered his voice and continued, "Brother Han, do you know that these beggars have now formed a gang? Han Xiaoyue said: "Gang? What gangs? Li Jingxian stretched out his finger and pointed at the beggars and continued: "The beggars of Tanzhou's generation have all formed gangs. These people claimed to be members of the 'Tanzhou faction'. In addition, there is also a 'Fengtan faction', which is also a group of beggars. These two gangs control the beggars in Tanzhou City respectively, and when they beg, they draw their own borders, do you think it's strange? Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "It's really strange, how can you form a gang to beg?" How come I haven't seen a similar situation in Shu? ”
Han Xiaoyue walked in the battlefield and the court in the past, where did she know about the affairs of the people? Li Jingxian was naturally very familiar with the market, and waved his hand and said, "Of course Shu has it!" At that time, those beggars were only in groups of three or five, and it was really rare to see such a strict gang! Han Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "For the sake of prudence, I think we still have a chance to visit these two major gangs, so as not to cause trouble for them again!" Li Jingxian nodded and said, "Brother Han is right. As he spoke, he sighed and said, "Alas! It seems that on the surface, the people of the Tang Kingdom are rich and the country is rich, but in fact there are more poor people. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't live, who would come out and be a beggar? ......”
As he was talking, he heard a noise downstairs. The two looked down and saw three or four more beggars coming up and arguing.
"Hey, who gave you permission to beg in our realm? Do you know if you cross the line! ”
"We didn't beg, we just took other people's money and did things for them!"
"Collecting money is begging, understand? Get the money out and fuck off! ”
The noise of the crowd became louder and louder, and it attracted hundreds of people to watch. I saw that among the two groups of beggars, one group of people were in tattered clothes and holding broken bowls; The other group did not carry a bowl, but carried a stick more than half a man high. Clearly, another group of people came prepared. Li Jingxian pointed to the beggar holding the broken bowl and said, "Look at this situation, they are the Tanzhou faction. Then the other group of people is the Fengtan faction......" he said, stomping his feet and saying, "Don't spoil our business!" With that, he ran downstairs with another smoke.
Han Xiaoyue saw from upstairs that the three major men in the official post walked down from the attic when they heard the sound, standing behind the guard soldiers and watching the excitement. While pointing fingers, he said something in the party language. "Presumably some words that despise the Han people." Han Xiaoyue thought to herself, seeing Li Jingxian sneak into the crowd after a few clicks, and enter the innermost part of the crowd of onlookers.
"Brothers of the Fengtan faction, we have been safe and sound for nearly a year, we don't want to make trouble today!"
"Hugh has to call us brothers! To put it well, the narrow alley of Guanyi is your Tanzhou faction to the west, and our Fengtan faction to the east. Why is it that it's only been a year, and you don't recognize it? ”
The Tanzhou beggar took two steps forward and said, "Look, we just took two more steps, how can we cross the line?" The beggar of the Fengtan faction did not relent: "Take two more steps today, and dare to take ten more steps tomorrow!" Maybe you'll have to stretch your tentacles farther in the future! The Tanzhou beggar was so questioned that he opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet
These beggars have taken the money to do things, and if they leave in a fit of anger, will they not delay the great event? Li Jingxian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay!" They are all poor people, so why should they be difficult with each other? Seeing this, a beggar from Tanzhou pointed at Li Jingxian and said: "It is the silver he gave us, let us watch every move in this official post here." Don't believe it, you ask him! Seeing this, the Fengtan faction shouted: "I don't care if he gives the silver or not, as long as you collect money in our realm, it is unruly!" ”
Li Jingxian hurriedly gave a deep salute and said, "Here are the brothers of the Fengtan faction!" Little brother, I just arrived, I really don't know the rules, and I still want to ......" Before he finished speaking, the beggar of the Fengtan faction interrupted: "I don't care if you are a foreigner or not, today is the matter of our two factions, and it has nothing to do with you!" As he spoke, he looked at the Tanzhou beggar and said, "Let's talk about it, in front of so many people, how to solve it?" ”
The people talked a lot, and most of them thought that they could fight, and it would be fun to watch. The beggar of the Tanzhou faction snorted and laughed when he heard this: "How to solve it, it is nothing more than bullying the small with the big and bullying the small with the more." According to us, then go to the elder and ask him to help us sort it out! After hearing this, the beggar of the Fengtan faction said angrily: "Everything is pushed to the elder's side, don't you think you have added enough chaos to his old man's family?" The Tanzhou beggar said, "Then what do you say to do?" After hearing this, the Fengtan faction rolled up his sleeves and said, "What should I do?" It seems that there is no other way, give it to me! ”
As soon as the words fell, the beggars of the Fengtan faction immediately rushed up, and hit the beggars of the Tanzhou faction with sticks in hand. The sticks fell like raindrops, only to hit the Tanzhou beggar and shattered the bowl in his hand, jumping to his feet and screaming "oops". The people who were originally surrounding to watch the excitement avoided it one after another, and Li Jingxian was also startled and hurriedly flashed aside. "How can it be!" Li Jingxian secretly shouted in his heart, "The Fengtan faction is obviously fully prepared, only holding a stick, it is clearly ready to use force!" "How could Lee Kyung-hyun tolerate such bullying? When even decided to help.
"Jing Xian, don't you help you with such a bully?" As soon as the words fell, I saw Han Xiaoyue rushing forward with an arrow, holding up a wooden stick with one hand and pulling a Fengtan beggar to the ground with the other. Then, according to this method, the second Fengtan beggar was pulled down. Seeing this, Li Jingxian hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the embarrassed Tanzhou beggar aside. After a few strokes, the two sides were pulled apart. The beggars of the Fengtan faction were not convinced, and once again picked up their sticks and came towards Han Xiaoyue's door. Han Xiaoyue grabbed the stick with both hands, snatched it off with a slight twist, and slammed it towards the chest of a Fengtan beggar.
If you are a person who has just learned the volume of "Jianhua Benji" on wrist strength, this stick will definitely be able to smash this beggar through the chest. And Han Xiaoyue continued to explore and practice along the way, and he had indeed completely mastered the control of his strength. The stick smashed the beggar, although it was not painful, but it still slammed back five or six paces. The three big men saw it in their eyes, and seemed to see the doorway, and they couldn't help but nod their heads and talk about it.
"Alright, listen to me. We are not from this place, so we don't know your rules. I am fortunate to meet you today, and I would like to listen to the rules of your mouth. Han Xiaoyue said, giving a deep salute. Seeing this, the beggars of the Fengtan Gang knew that they were not the opponents of the two in front of them, so they snorted and said, "Seeing that you are still decent, I won't bother with you." That's it for now! Next time, if you dare to give alms to the people of the Tanzhou Gang in our realm, then we will not be polite! With that, he led the beggars of the Fengtan Gang to turn around and leave.
Li Jingxian turned to look at the beggars of the Tanzhou Gang, and saw that they were each covering their sore spots, so they moved to the west side of the narrow alley step by step, and found a place to sit at the base of the wall. Han Xiaoyue stepped forward and said, "Do you need to go and see Langzhong?" The beggars waved their hands and said, "No, no......," he said, complaining, "I have said a long time ago, we can't ask for this money." Your little brother has to give, don't be unforgiving. Don't look at just two steps, as soon as you cross the line, people will grab the handle. Alas, count us unlucky! ”
Li Jingxian stepped forward and said, "I'm really embarrassed...... the beggar shook his head and said, "Forget it, you don't understand the rules, and those who don't know are not guilty." As he spoke, he pointed to the east side of the narrow alley, "We are easy to talk, but the people of the Fengtan Gang are not easy to talk." Check it out next time! Li Jingxian nodded and said, "Then the things we said were good, there will be no changes!" The beggar nodded and said, "We won't take your money for nothing, don't worry!" As he spoke, he pointed to the official post road, "I'll keep an eye on you!" ”
