Chapter 5 The first merit of the fledgling
Since the monkeys practiced a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu and recognized a few words, their minds became lively and began to think about everyone's future. The days of stealing, abducting and defrauding are not long-term solutions, and they don't want to live like this for a lifetime, making people look down on them for a lifetime. In the end, the result of the discussion was that from the same day, starting from Yangliuer Hutong, the little beggar gang wanted to unify the underworld in the capital step by step.
Of course, this is just an idea, there are only five people in the Little Beggars Gang, plus some gangsters who are particularly good with us, there are only about 20 people, among these 20 or so people, except for the five of us, the others don't even have the kung fu of the three-legged cat. Moreover, this place in the capital is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, with dignitaries everywhere, and the forces and factions are intertwined, accidentally offending any party, with the strength of the little beggars, but they are not qualified to beg for mercy. What's more, in the land of the capital, the defense is the tightest place in the whole country, and the soldiers and spies are even more pervasive, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will also fall into the mirror of no return.
The wisdom of the monkey is the highest among the five of us, and in the end, he mentioned that he first gathered the twenty or so people who usually mingled in Yangliuer Hutong and several nearby alleys (like us, most of them were people who made a career of abduction and abduction), and put away the old knives entrenched in the Yangliuer Hutong market, and occupied a base.
We don't even know what the old knife is called, only that this kid originally opened a blacksmith shop in the market, and then he made a mistake and sold the blacksmith shop to get himself out of prison. After coming out, he took his apprentices from his former shop to live by collecting some protection money in the market. Yangliuer Hutong is definitely a slum area in the capital, and those big gangs disdain, which made Lao Dao and a dozen people dominate Yangliuer Caishi City for four or five years.
stared at him, not only because the old knife gang had a very bad reputation in the eyes of everyone, but the main thing was that all the people with low hands in this kid were ordinary gangsters who didn't know martial arts, and they bullied ordinary people when they did things. Such an opponent is undoubtedly very suitable for our fledgling first achievement.
Two days later, the monkeys contacted the gangsters nearby, and everyone usually had a good relationship, but now that they heard that there was a day of prominence, Hula suddenly all sided with us.
I, the monkey, the bald man, and the buffalo discussed it for a while, and decided that we would attack the old knife tonight.
Cher pouted and looked unhappy, because since we decided to enter the underworld, we have agreed that we can't let Cher get involved in this business. Cher is our common sister, and we don't want anything dangerous to happen to her. As Cher grows up day by day, we no longer let Cher come into contact with even our cheating and cheating things, although she often sulks at us for this, but we do it for her good, no matter how softly she pleads or threatens with a straight face, we don't care, in short, she is not allowed to participate. She wants to subsidize the family, yes, we go get some clothes and come back for her to wash them and earn a small salary. This time, Cher was still alone and had to agree aggrievedly.
"Brothers, today is the first battle for us to dominate the underworld in the capital, this first shot, no matter what, we have to start!" The monkey suppressed his throat and shouted to a room of people in the black crow: "Which of us here has not been robbed of the old knife's hard-earned gains?" The one who didn't get his curses or fists. Today, we want to eliminate the harm for Yang Liuer's fellow villagers and seek justice for the humiliation we suffered before. That bastard of the old knife must pay for what he once did! If you want revenge, come with meβ"
"Revenge!"
"Kill the old knife!"
"Kill!"
A vote of people shouted in a whirlwindled manner, and followed the monkey.
The momentum is also strong, but unfortunately the guy in his hand is too bad, the monkey has a kitchen knife in his hand, the bald man doesn't know where to get a wood knife, and the others are carrying either table legs or wrist-thick sticks.
I walked at the end, empty-handed.
Touched by everyone's momentum, Cher also waved her little arms to keep up. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Xue'er was almost insulted by the bastard Lao Dao, and of course she also wanted to take revenge. At that time, Luo Rou happened to pass by and saved Xue'er. Later, we heard that I, the monkey, the bald man, and the buffalo blocked the old knife and beat him so hard that it almost killed him. It's a pity that his subordinates came later, we were just beginning to get in touch with martial arts, four bare-handed guys, of course, were not their opponents, but the revenge was not avenged, almost all four of us were lying in bed for a month, if it wasn't for the old knife to know that I was a person from the Kyushu Dart Bureau, it is estimated that the four of us would have been reimbursed that day.
Looking at Xue'er's eager appearance, I couldn't help but laugh, rushed up to pick her up, and sent her back to the room: "Good, wait at home, you are not allowed to mix blindly in the matter of fighting." β
"But......" Yu'er blushed.
I interrupted her: "But what, Brother Monkey and I will be fine, your brother Prince Qiu will definitely help you repay today!" β
"Brother the prince promised Xue'er that he must be careful and never let himself be hurt a little!"
"Don't worry! Brother Prince promises you. After that, he habitually kissed her on the forehead and went out to chase the army.
Lao Dao's home is in a small courtyard next to the market. The yard is not big, only four rooms. Lao Dao and six of his men lived here, and the rest went back to their homes at night.
There were twenty-four of us in total, and Lao Dao was only seven of them, and three or four of them beat him once, so it was no wonder that everyone's confidence was so high.
Yangliuer Hutong belongs to the slum in the slum, even the night is too lazy to come here, the poor family naturally has no night activities, at night the whole alley is asleep, we came to the old knife's house, even a person was not alarmed.
There is only one gate in and out of the small courtyard. According to the method agreed in advance, I, the monkey and the buffalo led seventeen or eighteen people to quietly climb over the wall and enter the small courtyard, and the bald man led the remaining few people to guard the door, so as not to let any one escape.
Old Dao and his men had already fallen asleep, and the battle ended quietly.
Seven people were knocked unconscious in their dreams and all tied up in the hall.
A bowl of cold rice splashed on the head of the old knife, and with a shudder and a groan, the chubby old knife opened his small eyes.
Looking at the fierce and vicious group of people in front of him, struggling for a moment and finding that he had been tied to death, the old knife showed a trace of fear on his face, and then calmed down, and shouted fiercely: "What are you going to do?" Looking for death? Let go of Lao Tzu! β
"You can fucking see who is looking for death!" Seeing that he was still majestic, the bald man lifted the firewood knife and slashed the old knife's hairy thigh.
"Ahh
Watching the blood gushing out of the old knife's leg like a spring, I couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea, fear, and seemed to be a little excited. Looking at the monkeys, it seems that everyone's feelings are similar to mine.
The monkey looked at the old knife crawling on the ground like a dead dog, and waved the kitchen knife in his hand in front of him demonstratively: "How is it?" Are you awake? β
"Wake up...... Monkey...... Uncle Monkey, stop the bleeding for me, I'll die if it's too late! The old knife no longer had the arrogance of the past, and begged repeatedly.
"It's good to be sober! If you don't wake up, we can help you again! The monkey said and stared at the good leg of the old knife.
The old knife trembled, and hurriedly said: "Really wake up, Uncle Monkey, if you have any requirements, just mention it, all the little ones agree, just ask you to spare the little one's life!" β
"I don't embarrass you, let's say, where is the money that has been looted over the years?" The monkey's lips turned into a wicked smile.
I can't help but secretly praise the monkey for being smart, and paying attention to a soldier and horse before moving, and the grain and grass go first. It's the same with mixed rivers and lakes, if there is no silver, who wants to follow us. Lao Dao, this bastard, has been the king and hegemon in Yangliuer Hutong for several years, and he must have saved a lot of silver, and this right should be used as the military expenses for this dispatch.
An imperceptible color flashed in the old knife's eyes: "Uncle, you have also seen it, my territory is such a big palm, I don't have much silver at the end of the day, and I have to raise so many brothers, and I haven't saved any money in the past few years!" β
"Really?" The buffalo shouted, and the wooden stick in his hand struck the wound on the old knife's leg, and the blood flowed more happily.
The old knife howled like a pig again.
"You'd better think about it!" The monkey stared at the old knife with fierce eyes.
"Yes, yes, I...... I remembered, I still have some silver, so I hid it...... Hidden in the box under my bed. β
As soon as the bald man heard that he had money, he threw away the wood knife and ran to the old knife's room.
The firewood knife fell to the ground, and with a "bang" sound, the old knife shook his neck in fright.
Soon, the bald man ran out: "Fuck, this old bastard, it's only three taels of silver in total!" β
I stepped forward, half-squatted, and said, "Old knife, you better think about it again, the wounds on your body will drain if you don't heal the blood!" It's a long time for us, I just don't know if you can afford it? You know, if your life is gone, your money is useless. If you save your life, won't you be able to earn the money back? β
The old knife stared at me for a short while, and said, "If I hand over the money, can you promise not to hurt me again?" β
"I promise!" I hurriedly said, although my character is not very good, but I will still abide by the things I promised, everyone is mixed in an alley, and the old knife still believes in my credibility.
"And they can't hurt me anymore!"
"I promise you, as long as you hand over all the money, no one here will hurt you again!"
The old knife was still hesitating.
"Old knife, you also know my relationship with the monkey, as long as I promised you, they will never hurt you again!" I can be regarded as trying to persuade him, but why do I always feel like a wolf in the mountains?
"Well, I believe you!" The old knife gritted his teeth: "There is a hole in the root of the poplar tree in the yard, and all the silver is in it." β
We all knew that this time the old knife would not dare to play tricks again, and they all rushed under the tree.
The buffalo pampas peeled off the weeds and dead leaves, and sure enough, they found patches under the roots of the trees. There was a burst of digging in the big fan-like hand hole, and a black cloth package was pulled out. Trembling and opening the package, the white silver glowing brightly in the moonlight.
"Wow!" Along with me, everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation at the same time.
"That's a lot of silver!"
"I've never seen so much silver in my life!"
"yes, yes!"
"I made a fortune this time!"
β¦β¦
Words like these come out of our mouths without much meaning.
The buffalo picked up the package and weighed it, and said, "These silver are at least five hundred taels!" β
"Wow!" Another exclamation.
"Let's see if there's anything in there!" Monkey Road.
Or he is the calmest.
The buffalo handed the package to the bald double, and bent down again and touched again. actually let him fall out of the treasure again.
An oilcloth wrap was placed in the innermost part of the tree hole, and the oilcloth was tightly tied with two strings.
The shock I just gave us is too strong, I don't know what it will bring us this time, I don't think it will disappoint us.
The oilcloth bag was opened, and there were two pieces of gold inside, a string of pearl necklaces, a gold hairpin, and a gemstone ring.
The monkey looked at me and said, "Prince, estimate how much these things are worth!" β
These things, except for gold, they don't know the price of other things. And I've been working in the dart game for two years, and I've come into contact with a lot of rich people, and I still have some authority on these things compared to them.
I took everything and looked at it carefully, then closed my eyes and silently calculated their value in my mind. When I opened my eyes, two dozen expectant eyes were staring at me.
"Brothers, we have made a fortune this time, and these things are worth at least six hundred to eight hundred taels!" I cleared my throat and announced it loudly.
"Oh......" so everyone cheered.
The silver and jewels were carried into the house by me and the bald man. Everyone's eyes couldn't leave what we were holding, and all of them followed.
