Chapter 698: Coming from behind
After introducing his friends, Song Di solemnly introduced Lu Xiaoxian, Zhang Meng and Lu Xiaoyi to his friends.
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said: "Lu Mou has just come to Luzhou, and I will ask you to help me in the future!" ”
"Lu Gongzi is too polite!" Song Di patted his chest and said, "They are all good friends of mine, if there is anything, you just ask!" ”
The other three chimed in.
There is no more effective way to bring men closer than drinking. After three rounds of drinking, they became like old friends for many years.
Lu Xiaoxian asked curiously: "Why does the name of this restaurant make people feel weird?" ”
Yao Hong said with a look of disdain: "It's not Bai Zongyuan's thing that happened!" ”
"Bai Zongyuan? Who is Bai Zongyuan? Lu Xiaoxian became more and more curious.
Yao Hong said angrily: "Master Lu, you have been in Luzhou for a short time, this Bai Zong is far away, ......."
After listening to Yao Hong's introduction, Lu Xiaoxian understood the reason.
Luzhou is a north-south thoroughfare, prosperous commerce, merchants all over. There are many merchants, and inn wine shops have naturally sprung up. Most of the inns and liquor shops in Luzhou are not in the stream, and they are not of high grade, and only two of them are considered to have some scale and fame. One is called Wangyue Tower, and the other is called Kaitianlou, both of which are time-honored brands that have been volunteered in Luzhou for nearly a hundred years.
The owner of the Kaitianlou is called Jiang Jiao, who is Li Linfu's uncle and the current head of the Jiang family.
Jiang Jiao's great-grandfather made a lot of contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Jiao's grandfather was a master craftsman of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and Jiang Jiao's father was a general and a general worshipper.
The Jiang family has a lot of industries in Luzhou, although Jiang Jiao has no official status and fame, but with the shadow of his ancestors, his life is also enjoyable.
The owner of the Moon Tower is called Liu Shang, and the Liu family is also a famous family in Luzhou like the Jiang family.
Since Liang Dequan took office as the assassin of Luzhou, the fate of the Jiang family and the Liu family has changed. Bai Zongyuan is Liang Dequan's brother-in-law, and with the power of his brother-in-law, he gradually controlled fifty percent of the business in Luzhou City. It turns out that the local families in Luzhou only account for 30%, and the other 20% are small businesses that each eats for the war.
Bai Zongyuan opened this restaurant in the future, and named it in the meaning of the latter. It is said that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but Bai Zongyuan, an alien strong dragon, has pressed the local family in Luzhou so much that he can't raise his head.
Under Bai Zongyuan's squeeze, the Jiang family's sky-opening tower soon became beyond its means. Jiang Jiao knew that he couldn't fight Bai Zongyuan, although he was unwilling, he could only swallow his anger and completely close the door of the open sky.
The Liu family's Moon Tower did not escape the fate of being hit by Bai Zongyuan, but Liu Juren always refused to give in to Bai Zongyuan, and although the Moon Tower was bleak, it always stood tall.
Hearing Yao Hong's words, Lu Xiaoxian began to think about it in his heart.
Several people chatted, and somehow talked about Song Di being beaten. From their mouths, Lu Xiaoxian got some other useful news.
The various relationships in Luzhou City are intertwined, and the characters on the table show their own magical powers, and these sons and brothers are not idle, and they are also divided into two factions. The faction is headed by Liang Dequan's son, Liang Fen, as well as Tian Wen, the son of Lu Governor Shi Tian Zhongze, Yan Zhan, the son of Yan Hongtu, the master of Changle Gate, and Tang Chao, the brother-in-law of Luzhou Fa Cao who joined the army and Gui'an. The other faction was led by Song Di, and behind him were Wang Shouyi, Yao Hong, and Li Linfu.
The two sides are incompatible, the tip of the needle is against Maimang, and the fight is endless. Song Di and the others were not strong, and they also lost the upper hand in the fight with Liang Fen and others, and only the ability to parry was suppressed, not to mention how depressed they were.
Seeing that a few people were filled with righteous indignation, Lu Xiaoxian took it to heart, smiled slightly, raised his wine and said to Song Di: "It is my blessing to be able to meet you." Isn't it just a bunch of dogs fighting people, don't worry, brother, I will try to get out this evil breath for you. ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, several people looked at each other.
Wang Shouyi reminded: "Lu Gongzi may not know, these guys are not easy to deal with!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian said generously: "Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts for a long time." Whether I'm talking big or not, a few people will wait and see. If you believe me Lu Xiaoxian, you will dry this glass of wine! ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian drank it all.
Song Di drank the wine in the cup: "Master Lu, I, Song Dixin, have told you!" ”
The rest of the people were skeptical, and Lu Xiaoxian's pride made them admire, and they each raised their glasses and drank the wine.
When I drank until the hour, a few people got drunk and dispersed. Of course, Lu Xiaoxian is not included among the drunken people, and the amount of alcohol consumed by these sons and brothers is too far from Lu Xiaoxian.
This meal was not eaten in vain, and Lu Xiaoxian got a lot of useful news. He made a decision immediately and decided to have a good relationship with Song Di and the others, and took the opportunity to break into the upper echelons of Luzhou to better implement the established plan.
From this day on, Lu Xiaoxian mixed up with these sons and brothers when he had nothing to do. He has a flexible mind, there is no shortage of money on hand, and he bears all the expenses for eating, drinking, and having fun, and soon replaces Song Di and becomes the main drum of several people.
Lu Xiaoxian's side was going well, but Yan Gu had encountered setbacks.
Tie Dan and these beggars only gave Yan Gu the news for three days, and then disappeared without a trace, and disappeared completely. How could Yan Gu swallow this breath, gritting his teeth and looking for these little flowers all over the city.
Finally one day, in an alley in the north of the city, the angry Yan Gu pulled out the iron egg.
"You, you talk doesn't count!" Yan Gu raised his fist and was about to fight.
"Fight, kill me!" Tie Dan knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't resist, crying and saying, "I'm just a rotten life, you both force me, what should I do?" ”
Listening to Tie Dan's words, Yan Gu put down his fist and asked with a dark face, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Hearing Yan Gu's question, Tie Dan suddenly howled.
The little flower named Gou Yu next to Tie Dan said timidly to Yan Gu: "You give us money, and when the boss found out, he not only searched all the money, but also beat each of us." ”
"What did I do with you when I gave you money?" Yan Gu frowned.
"The boss said, you must have ulterior motives, let us stay away from you, and we are not allowed to collect your money again." Gou Yu said with a crying voice, "He also asked us to pay an extra five cents a day per person in the future, otherwise we won't be able to eat!" ”
Yan Gu's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, and he scolded hatefully: "This guy is too hateful!" ”
"Luzhou City is so big, where do you need so much money? We haven't eaten in two days! The dog wiped away his tears, and the rest of the beggars looked at Yan Gu with tears in their eyes.
Yan Gu knew that if he didn't clean up this so-called boss and wanted Tie Dan to help him find out the news, it would be impossible at all.
He took a deep breath and said to Tie Dan, "I don't blame you for this, tell me, where is that dog now?" ”
Tie Dan said vigilantly: "What are you going to do?" ”
Yan Gu smiled: "I want to tell him that I will be your boss from now on!" ”
The beggars were stunned.
The beggars are listed at the end of the "Three Religions and Nine Streams", and the internal hierarchy is obvious. Tie Dan is the boss of these dozen little beggars, and the boss on Tie Dan is named Bi San, who is a famous beggar stick in Luzhou City.
Beggars are the most difficult of the beggars, and they have always done things without regard for their face, even the law, and have done many evils for the sake of harming the village. The government has no problem with beggars, anyway, it is a splash, and a heavy sentence cannot be imposed for minor crimes, at most it will be beaten, and it will still go its own way after being released.
At this moment, Bi San stared at a dumpling restaurant across the road, with a sinister smile on his face.
There are more than 10 tables in the dumpling restaurant, a large basket is placed at the entrance of the hall, a large bowl holds the meat filling, four or five hired workers make dumplings in public, and dozens of bowls are boiled in a big pot, and the business is quite prosperous.
After observing for a while, Bi San began to act. He lifted up his shabby green coat, pinned it to his waist, carried a string of skinned rats, staggered across the road, and entered the dumpling restaurant with great momentum.
Glancing at the diners, Bi San raised the dead rat high and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, I only caught a few rats today, you will chop the stuffing!" I'll catch a few more and send them to you tomorrow. ”
Bi San's move made the diners nauseous and left one after another. The shopkeeper of the dumpling restaurant was unlucky, and hurriedly stepped forward to beg Bi San to let him go.
Bi San didn't raise his eyes, just stretched out his hand and spit out four words: "Ten taels of silver!" ”
knew that Bi San was blackmailing, but the shopkeeper could only settle the matter and consider himself unlucky. Seeing that the silver was about to arrive, Bi San showed a smug smile. Suddenly, in the oblique stab, a stick stretched out out of nowhere and slammed on Bi San's head. Bi San was furious, turned his head and saw that a little beggar in front of him was glaring at him.
A head poked out outside the store and quickly took it back.
Bi San's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was Tie Dan who was probing his brain, and with a roll of his eyes, he guessed why the young man in front of him was looking for his bad luck.
"Grandma, I was about to settle accounts with you, but you took the initiative to send it to the door!"
With that, Bi San raised his fist and hit Yan Gu.
Yan Gu dodged and dodged, and hit Bi San's neck with a stick, which hurt hotly.
But all beggars have dog beating sticks, and there is no standard form for dog beating sticks. Egg-thick sticks, a few bamboo poles, or even half a branch, a sturdy sorghum stalk will do.
Yangu's dog-beating stick is a rattan cane specially prepared for him by Uncle Hai, which is produced in the land of Wuman, and it is rare to see it in the Central Plains. The dog beating stick is long and curvy, the color is light red, and the texture is extremely hard.
Bi San was beaten by Yan Gu fiercely, and used his brute force to pounce on Yan Gu, eager to tear Yan Gu in half.
The two of you come and go, Bi San broke the table and chairs a lot, but he didn't even touch the placket of Yan Gu's clothes, but he suffered a lot of sticks, and his eyebrows were bruised and swollen.
Bi San was so tired that he was out of breath, knowing that he was not Yan Gu's opponent, he had a plan.
He stopped suddenly, punched his nose and bleed, covered his face with blood, lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and shouted loudly in his mouth: "Hurry up and kill someone!" ”
How can this kind of indiscriminate trick scare Yan Gu?
Yan Gu stepped forward, picked up the strand of skinned rats from the ground, and suddenly stuffed it into Bi San's mouth without thinking.
