Chapter 281: The Next Two Gates
The rivers and lakes are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and theft has always been looked down upon by people, and even liars look down on stealing.
Chen Dawei learned deception, Ganggang learned stealing, the masters of the two people are old acquaintances, look down on each other, and fight for most of their lives, but when they are old, they are like two old mouthfuls, today he has a pot of wine, and he has to call another one to drink.
Drinking and scolding.
Stealing is not the same as stealing.
Ganggang's master said, can get started to steal, there is a way to steal, stealing this industry also has a chain of contempt, the next two doors in Jizhou City, the deception is called a thousand doors, the craft is complicated, the best at observing words and feelings, and the door of stealing is called the gate of birds.
The people of the Bird Gate have been practicing since childhood, and it is said that they can peel off the shell of a raw egg with one hand when they practice to the extreme, but they do not hurt the membrane, and they catch a finch in their hands, no matter how the finch flies, they can't fly.
Ganggang came behind his master's back, and so did Chen Dawei, because they both felt that their master's life was a little shabby, and the master and the others both said that they were grandmaster-level figures in their respective sects, but they had never seen them make a fortune, so they finally saved money to buy a pot of wine, and the two of them drank it separately, and they had to mix it with water.
Chen Dawei said that he started his apprenticeship at the age of six, and if he reached the age of his master and lived like his master, wouldn't this life be wasted?
Ganggang said that he started his apprenticeship at the age of five, and if he still drinks at the age of the master, it means that there should be no inheritance in this sect.
But this does not prevent them from looking down on those stragglers, such as Ganggang, their door rules are thieves and there are three rules of not stealing, the first is not to steal money to save lives and cure diseases, the second is not to steal the money of orphans and widows, and the third is not to steal money from selling their lives.
Ganggang's master said that people shouldn't do such things.
However, if you want to steal the money of a large family, how can it be so easy, a large family has a person who cares for the home, and if you miss it, you will be beaten half to death, and you will have to be sent to the government.
He was thrown into a prison, and when he heard that he had stolen something, he would be beaten to death by his fellow cells.
So Ganggang felt that this was also the reason why his master was poor for most of his life, his master had learned a lot of skills, but there were too many rules and he didn't use them, so he was destined to not even have money to buy wine.
Chen Dawei's thousand doors are the same, there are also rules among the thousand doors, probably similar to those of the bird gate, and the door rules go back and forth with just a few words.
On the one hand, the two of them feel that the door rules are too rigid, and on the other hand, they look down on those people who dare to steal any money and dare to cheat any money on the rivers and lakes.
This time they were found by Uncle Yingying, because they felt that this was doing something for the big man, Uncle Yingying told them that what they wanted to do this time was to save people, and they thought that there must be nothing wrong with saving people, saving people is not harmful, and they can get a lot of silver.
Uncle Yingying said that as long as people are rescued, each person will be 100 taels.
A hundred taels?
Ganggang suspected that his master had never stolen enough taels in his life, Chen Dawei felt that he was too much to think so, and he felt that Ganggang's master might not even steal ten taels of silver in his life.
In the Qianmen in Jizhou City, there were still one hundred and eighty people in Master Chen Dawei's generation, who worked in gangs, and in his generation, his master, as the master of the Qianmen, accepted him as an apprentice.
He asked the master why, and the master said that a thousand doors should not exist, and he asked the master again, why do you want to take me as an apprentice? Master said nonsense, after I die, no one is allowed to hold the can?
Ganggang laughed when he heard Chen Dawei talk about this, because his master also said the same, Ganggang's master said that the Bird Gate should not exist.
So Chen Dawei and Ganggang feel that these two doors
Now that it is in such decline, the masters of the two of them have contributed a lot.
What they didn't know was that many years ago, those two young men who looked down on no one else vowed to make such a thing happen again when they witnessed their fellow sect members talking about the rules of the sect, but when they did bad things.
About 30 years ago, a major event happened in the city of Jizhou, Qianmen and the people of Quemen joined forces to deceive a wealthy family in the city into bankruptcy, deceived and stole, and the big family was finished, and the man committed suicide because he felt that he was addicted to gambling, so he caused the collapse of the family.
When the hostess was at the funeral, she learned that even the house had been mortgaged by her husband, and the people from Qianmen came to collect the accounts and drove the mother and son out directly.
In despair, the hostess threw the child into the well, the well where her husband committed suicide.
At that time, Ganggang's master and Chen Dawei's master were still apprentices, and they watched this happen, but they were required to recite the door rules, and if they couldn't memorize them, they would be beaten and scolded by the master, uncle, and brother in turn.
When they first met, they were beaten by their own master and ran out, and the two bruised children met in an alley, they looked at each other and looked down on each other, because they both felt that the other party was worse than themselves.
Ganggang's master is called Gangcai, and Chen Dawei's master is called Chen Youwei.
The day after they met, when the two of them were reciting the door rules, they were asked by the master and uncle to follow them to do something, which was an eye-opener for them.
So they witnessed the whole process of how the big family was deceived by their master and uncle.
Gangcai asked Chen Youwei, do you think the door rules we carry are useful? Master, they do things that are not allowed by the door rules, so why do they still let us go against the door rules?
Chen Youwei said, I think it's useful, at least we have to remember.
Sixteen years later, the Bird Gate suffered a disaster that can almost be called annihilation, and overnight, only Gangcai was left to be killed, Gangcai sat at the door in a daze, and dozens of people died in the courtyard behind him.
On the same night, the entrance of the hall of Qianmen was also attacked at night, and only one of the hundreds of people was killed, and that night, Chen Youwei sat at the door, and also looked back at the blood flowing in the courtyard.
That is, on this night, the two met in that alley, and the two squatted there, one drinking and the other smoking a pipe, and neither of them spoke for a long time.
When it was almost dawn, a young man covered in blood found them, knelt down for them in this alley, and kowtowed three times.
Sixteen years ago, the mother and son committed suicide by throwing themselves into the well, Gangcai and Chen Youwei secretly rescued people, both of them had no money on them, one from the master said that he was sick and wanted to take medicine to cheat two taels of silver, and the other simply stole the master's money bag, gave the money to the mother and son, and sent them out of Jizhou.
Sixteen years later, when the child grew up and returned, he found Chen Youwei and Gangcai, saying that he had practiced martial arts, and he was coming back to take revenge, and asked the two of them to leave one night and not be at home.
Gangcai said that such a sect should not exist, Chen Youwei thought about it, nodded and said yes.
In the past 16 years, what tragedy they have seen is not only the one they saw 16 years ago?
They tried not to get involved, in order to make themselves look clean, and the two of them had agreed from sixteen years ago that they would behave stupidly, so that they would not be sent to work, but they should be diligent in their hands and feet, otherwise they would have no food, or at least they could clean the yard and change food.
They drugged their food while they were eating, so that they were all asleep, and the young man entered the door and stabbed them all to death.
Chen Youwei said, we should accept an apprentice, and what we do is also counted
It's a deception to destroy the ancestors, and the death will definitely be miserable, so there has to be an apprentice to collect the body, and the death is very miserable, in case it is the kind that is piece-by-piece, someone has to help us pick it up and bury it.
Gangcai thought about it and felt that it made sense.
So there are now Ganggang and Chen Dawei.
When he was found by his uncle Yingying, Chen Dawei said to Ganggang that he couldn't let the masters know about this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to take over the job.
Ganggang nodded, he said that the two of us are not going to harm people, but to save people, there are still one hundred taels to save people, and we add up to two hundred taels, so our master is still worried about not drinking?
So both of them were a little happy, and they were beautiful.
At this moment, in the private room of this Mandarin Duck Building, the two of them looked very cramped, they didn't know who the noble son sitting there was, but they could see at a glance that this person's identity was extraordinary.
Hearing Uncle Yingying respectfully call out the son, the two of them looked at each other in fright, there is only one serious prince in Jizhou City, that is Yang Zhuo, the son of Prince Yu.
When the two of them looked at each other, there was something complicated in their eyes.
Uncle Yingying leaned over and said: "Your Highness, the two of them have great skills, although now Qianmen and Bird Gate have declined, but both of them have the true inheritance, you can let the two of them go to find out the news first, and find an opportunity to go in and save people." ”
"Saving people?"
Yang Zhuo, the prince of the world, didn't react for a while, he kept staring at his uncle Yingying, and Xu Yuanqing, who was sitting opposite him, coughed, and Yang Zhuo reacted.
"Oh, both of them are good."
Yang Zhuo withdrew his gaze from his uncle's figure, smiled and said, "Then go ahead and do it." ”
He didn't think carefully about why Xu Yuanqing brought these two people to him, and his uncle Yingying specially called him a son.
Yang Zhuo is a person who doesn't have much real talent and learning.
But if he thinks about it carefully, he will feel that something is wrong, when Xu Yuanqing did it before, almost none of the people he took him knew his true identity, and only a few people knew.
This time, not only did Xu Yuanqing himself appear directly in front of the two small characters, but also exposed his identity as the son of the world, which was obviously deliberate.
In fact, Xu Yuanqing can't help it, if the prince didn't blackmail him just now, he wouldn't do it, the moment he asked his uncle Yingying to go out and call someone in, Uncle Yingying also understood what he meant.
These two people, no matter how low their status is, are also a witness, in case something happens one day in the future, the prince wants to get rid of this matter, these two people are witnesses.
They can testify that the prince sent someone to find them, and the Xu family was also forced to be helpless, because no matter how strong the Xu family was, they would not dare to disobey the prince's request.
Compared with Xu Yuanqing, the prince Yang Zhuo is really not a little worse, Xu Yuanqing is an old fox, and if Yang Zhuo does not have the identity of the prince, he will be eaten by Xu Yuanqing, and there is not even a bone residue left.
"Go, go, go."
Yang Zhuo, the prince of the world, smiled and waved his hand, "In the future, if it is inconvenient for Lord Xu, you can let this girl come and report the news to me." ”
Xu Yuanqing also smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, it is indeed a little inconvenient for me to ask for His Highness directly, if there is anything in the future, I will arrange for the right person to report to His Highness." ”
Yang Zhuo snorted, he got up and said: "I still have something urgent to rush back to the palace, you can do things as you like, or that sentence, I can trust Lord Xu, and I will leave it to Lord Xu to deal with." ”
He smiled at his uncle Yingying and said, "And you." ”
