Chapter 18 The Romance of the Six Dynasties
"It's him!"
Ma Xiaohu frowned: "Legend has it that this guy has a python chain, which can bind immortals at the top, suppress ghosts at the bottom, and arrest people with cruel means." He is also greedy for money, and likes to turn around in the rich pile, so he has a notoriety of greedy pythons. ”
"So, he's just catching a thief?" Lin Yuan asked.
"It doesn't matter if he catches the thief or not, that silver dragon has definitely been taken into his own pocket by this guy. Mother scolded, it's better for us to divide it!" Dai Jinsuo gritted his teeth.
Lin Yuan comforted: "The windfall is all by heaven's will, don't be entangled!"
The six of them sighed, and Yao Pet hurried to deliver the medicine and said goodbye. Ma Xiaohu and the four of them led Lin Yuan towards the street.
The morning sky is clear and cloudy. The further you go, the stronger the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes becomes.
It can be seen with the naked eye that there are many strong martial arts practitioners. The low-key one holds a long package, and the high-profile one looks arrogant, and directly hangs the sword and sword.
In the southeast and northwest, there are many people in strange costumes. Lin Yuan was wearing a duck hat and a moving cedar, which was ordinary. It can even be seen that many young girls and young women are sassy and heroic, and they don't care about showing up. There are significantly twice as many people patrolling the streets as in other streets.
Lin Yuan looked left and right, as if he was in a fairy tale. Swords and rivers and lakes always have a natural attraction for men.
The two Ma Fan beside him acted as tour guides.
"There are three rivers and lakes in the south, Mochou, Xuanwu, and Liulong. These Liulong Street belongs to the side street of the Rouhua River and is the most prosperous. Ma Xiaohu said with a smile.
"It's not just a lot of fun, the people who designed this street are quite business-minded!"
Fan Li grabbed the conversation: "Take the name as an example, the other two are based on the place name, and there are many people in Liulong Street."
The word "six dragons" is taken from Jinling, which is the ancient capital of the six dynasties, representing the six dynasties that had set the capital here. The whole street is designed in this way......"
A few people chatted while shopping. Ma Xiaohu interjected a few words at first, but then saw Fan Li talking endlessly, so he didn't bother to say anything.
The four of them looked at the street in their eyes, and they heard him like a treasure in their ears, which was also interesting.
"We're on the main street now, and we don't mention all kinds of small traders and vendors. With this path as the center, there are six areas connected to the left and right.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty District is mainly a literati area, with a piano hall, a chess hall, a bookstore, a painting hall, in short, the piano and chess, calligraphy, painting, brush, ink, paper, inkstone, high and low blocks are mixed together. There are many impoverished scholars who like to sell their calligraphy and paintings here.
Liu Song District specializes in fine handmade products. For example, glass shops, clock shops, copper mirror lanterns, rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, male and female ornaments and so on.
On top of that, there are blacksmiths and weapons shops. Eighteen kinds of weapons, hidden weapons and armor are all available. As long as the price is up, you can get satisfactory equipment. Nicknamed the treasure land of the ranger, the heroes like to shop for things here.
Xiaoqi District is a luxury of life. There are silk shops, dyeing shops, incense shops, wood shops, flower shops, pharmacies, oh money houses and pawnshops.
As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, and this is a good place for emergencies in the rivers and lakes! But it's best not to fight the idea here.
Relying on the strong background here, the money village specializes in some usury, and there are countless idlers who splash skin, eat people and don't spit out bones.
And go to the pawnshop to be careful. When encountering good things, not only do they lower the price, but also put forward all kinds of unreasonable demands, and nine times out of ten they will not return them. Then go to the auction house and make a bid, and the profit will be at least several times greater.
Although it can be used for emergency response in the rivers and lakes, it is to drink to quench thirst, and the fun is endless, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”
Further on, the streets were suddenly doubled, and the flow of people was much larger than before. It turned out to be in the center of the street.
Fan Li's expression was excited: "The climax is coming!" From now on, it is the two districts of the second half of Liulong Street. The most lively and prosperous places - Xiaoliang District on the left hand and Nanchen District on the right!
Xiaoliang District focuses on Goolan Washe. There are all kinds of acrobatics, operas, courtesan performances, and many martial arts competitions in the open and in the dark.
Hey! He was so happy that he said that the rivers and lakes were in emergency. Instead of going to the pawnshop in the previous bank, it is better to sell art here and go to the ring to fight a few times...... The premise is that the kung fu must be hard!
The gambling houses here are also famous all over the world. It is open during the day and closed at night. Gambling methods are strange, and everything can be gambled.
At twelve o'clock a day, there are people to accompany you until you gamble until you are in the wilderness...... I don't know when I'll be able to go inside and have some fun!"
Fan Li sighed regretfully. Seeing a tea vendor next to him, he smacked his lips and said, "Nanchen District on the right, responsible for eating and living...... He has said so much fun, so let's enjoy the tea and drink it!"
"Yo! As soon as the rotten grass carp chatterbox opens, will you be thirsty?"
Ma Xiaohu took out a few copper coins, and all five of them drank a bowl.
"By the way, Dad, the Juxian Building they went to today is also in Nanchen District. Huang San porridge is playing in the kitchen of the building......"
Ma Xiaohu pointed to the tallest building. When Dai Yufo heard about Juxian Lou, he hurriedly drank the tea and soup in the bowl: "The food in Juxian Lou is delicious!"
Fan Li snorted: "Liulong Street is such a heroic and legendary place, but the four-eyed dog only thinks about eating meat. It's a lot of fun, a dirt dog!"
Dai Yufo's eyes were about to get angry. Ma Xiaohu smiled slightly: "When we finish this ticket, let's go to Juxian Tower to eat something good."
Lin Yuan soaked the tea in his mouth, and his mouth was full of fragrance: "Since it is the Six Dynasties, the last one should be Sun Wu District!"
"Right!"
Fan Liying said: "The end point of Liulong Street connects to the Rouge River. There is a large marina and a fishing ground. That's the last Sunwu district. ”
Dai Jinsuo on the side suddenly said: "That is the territory of the Cao Gang, the real land of right and wrong.
Fighting and stealing during the day is common. At night, it is even more famous for the gray area.
In this Liulong Street, the corpses of the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes who were killed for various reasons were often thrown directly from Sunwu District to the bottom of the river. The government has always turned a blind eye to this!"
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the fragrant tea in his mouth suddenly became cold.
Ma Xiaohu looked at the sky, and then glanced at Fan Li: "Okay, I'll finish shopping after I finish talking." We're going to work, shouldn't you go back?"
"Yes, yes, we still have something to do, rotten grass carp, you don't get out yet!"
Dai Yufo stretched the word "business" for a long time, which was very ironic.
Fan Li smiled at Ma Xiaohu: "It's fun, the four of them are together, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water." Bring one, bring one!
The old rule, you give me a copper plate, and there is a lunch. In this way, you will be able to get a strong and cheap man to help you!"
Dai Yufo vomited: "Do you want a face?"
Dai Jinsuo frowned: "Our vote is a black job, do you understand the black job?" Your mom knows it's going to tear you down! ”
The brightness and darkness of big cities have always been directly proportional.
In the land of drunkenness and gold, there are often all kinds of forces, employing idlers, ruffians, bullies, and doing some shady deeds.
This kind of black work is well paid. But if you suffer a loss, you can only break your teeth and swallow it yourself. At least they were beaten violently, and at worst, they were killed by the underworld or arrested by the government.
"So mysterious?"
Fan Li asked in a low voice: "Murder, arson, and robbery?" Or usury?"
"What kind of people do you think we are?"
Dai Yufo was angry: "How can we do that kind of dirty thing?"
"It's a lot of fun."
Fan Li's expression was strange, and he glanced at Dai Er: "This one has let the fire go...... Although it was an attempt. ”
looked at Ma Xiaohu again: "But this one has killed people and robbed people."
Dai Jade Buddha: "......"
Fan Li rolled his eyes and smiled at Dai Er: "But Dai Jinsuo Dai Second Master will not take his younger brother to kill people and set fires." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, something happened anyway. Master Fan, as usual, is the first to run!"
Ma Xiaohu shrugged: "There is no door to hell and I want to enter!" Don't regret it on your Huangquan Road!"
"It's fun and refreshing!"
Fan Li stretched out his big finger and asked again, "Biyan'er is also going?"
Lin Yuan said: "Of course, you can't always eat white rice and see the world with you!"
Xiaoliang District is in charge of entertainment on Liulong Street. As soon as I entered the area, I saw countless paddock hooks. The storyteller is the storyteller, the singing is the singing, the juggling is juggling, and the showmanship is the showman.
Tourists stand on their toes and gather into large and small circles. The crowd is buzzing, so it's not lively!
Fan Lidai is young and happy for four years. Seeing this prosperous scene, he pulled Lin Yuan to play. was already put on a gold lock by Ma Xiaohu, pulling one in one hand, and giving the boss a chestnut.
Bypassing the busy street, the more and more you go, you are on the edge of Xiaoliang. There are many casinos here, day and night, all of which are bustling with hustle and bustle.
Next to a bunch of casinos, there is a small liquor store standing by the river.
There is a row of dried fish in front of the door, and the name of the store "Good Luck Lai" hangs on the door. A sign was erected at the door, which read: Our store has good wine, good dishes, good fresh fish, and good decanting soup. Congratulations to the guest officer for his luck and good luck!
The small hotel looks unpretentious. But relying on the east wind of the casino's large number of people, the brand is well written. Although the location is remote, the business is surprisingly good.
The small hotel table is full. Keeping the two guys busy.
"This is it." Ma Xiaohu said.
Fan Li looked up and down: "Your job today won't be a helper in this hotel, right?" It's a lot of fun, and the master doesn't do hard work!"
"Why don't you work as a coolie when you're such a strong man?"
Dai Yufo snorted: "Today is really hard work. Helped with the delivery of goods, and it was a lot heavier. If you don't do it, get out of here!"
Fan Li asked, "How much does it weigh?" How much does it cost? ”
Dai Jinsuo said: "The boss didn't say anything about the weight, but only asked us to bring more trustworthy people." As for the cost......" he stretched out two fingers and shook it.
Fan Li's eyes widened: "What kind of treasure can you earn two taels of silver?" Definitely greasy, big and small, you don't investigate clearly, and take the job at will? ”
Ma Xiaohu smiled silently.
Gamblers care about the game, come and eat fast. Three times five divided by two, Hu stuffed his stomach and left in a hurry. When the business in the store slowed down a little, a few people entered.
As soon as the older guy saw someone coming, he subconsciously greeted: "Please come inside, the small shop has good wine, good food, good fish and good noodles...... Big and small eyes wear two, it's you! ”
"Upstream of the river, business is good!"
Ma Xiaohu said hello and sat down at the innermost table against the wall: "Uncle, let's talk about business with him."
The monkey in the upper reaches of the river has fine eyes. Alertly glanced at them and shouted: "Zhongxi, you say hello, I'll call Dad."
The young man Jiang Zhongxi agreed, and the shawl came over with water: "The kidnappers will sit down first, my dad is still asleep, get up immediately."
"Kidnappers?" Fan Li thought of human traffickers.
Dai Jinsuo explained: "Jing Chu dialect, the meaning of brother."
Ma Xiaohu smiled at him: "Okay, Zhongxi, you are busy!"
The river smiled happily and poured water hard.
There is a way to eat and drink. Nandu is never short of news. Counting the tables of guests, the conversation is strong.
Ma Xiaohu listens to all directions, and has long become a habit to automatically collect all kinds of intelligence. During Lin Yuan's recuperation, he was always pulled by Ma Xiaohu to sit in the hall. Now I learn from him and try to understand the information.
Listening to the corner of the wall has always been a technical job. The guests talked about a variety of topics: some talked about the current Hetao War, some talked about the three young marshals of Li Ma Dongfang, some talked about the Chuyun Gang of the First Salt Gang, some talked about the Seven Heroes of Handi, and talked about the grand thief Qilin ghost in Nandu......
Ma Xiaohu listened to it with relish, but Lin Yuan listened with a big head.
