Chapter 72: The Rain Curtain (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The summer rain was roaring, and the horse-drawn carriages occasionally rushed by, splashing in all directions, and the road was in a hurry. When looking at the past from afar, there are several oil lamps in the shop at the intersection, although the light does not appear to be very bright, but because of the thought at the beginning, at this time in the dim rainy day, it is quite warm, people can't help but rise to the idea of sitting down.

The rain curtain separated the world like a curtain, and a man and a woman said this in the store, followed by a follower. The conversation was obscured by the sound of the rain, and it couldn't be transmitted, but at a certain moment, the elegant woman could be seen shaking her head, and saluting a little apologetically, this conversation never ended because of this, but there was always an end, and after a long time, they finished speaking, and the son in a dark green robe nodded politely and said goodbye to the woman, held up the umbrella, and walked into the rain with the scar on his face.

It wasn't until the light of the shop disappeared from the field of vision behind him that he didn't look back, and the raindrops around him burst and he turned the corner before he spoke, "Go to Haiqingfang." ”

The evening rains showed no signs of stopping. Haiqingfang is not far from here, and in the early years, there was a wharf nearby, where merchant ships were berthed and goods were lively. Later, a new wharf was built, but this side gradually abandoned, now the square is messy, mixed with fish and dragons, it is the most complicated area in Jiangning City, there will be a brawl and slashing incident in a day or two, and most people will warn children not to approach here on weekdays.

Although it is chaotic, the bustle in this square is still quite lively, all kinds of low-level traders, running the rivers and lakes, including moneyless Hu merchants, down-and-out and moneyless students, scattered warblers and gang members will choose this place as a place to live. When Gu Yanzhen and Lao Liu arrived, due to the low-lying terrain, the streets in the square had already turned into waterholes in such a rainstorm, and the various shops and taverns on both sides were brightly lit. They walked inside for a while, put away their umbrellas in front of what seemed to be the largest restaurant, and walked inside.

In the light of oil lamps and torches, all kinds of people gathered in the lobby of this hotel, and the seemingly ruthless people of the rivers and lakes, with weapons in hand, talked loudly while eating and drinking, and the people dressed as gangsters danced with their companions on the side, occasionally making fun of the women who were looking for the gold lord from the side, the down-and-out scribes snoring and burying their heads in eating, some people looked at the rivers and lakes with their eyes open, and looked left and right vigilantly while eating, some people were drunk and vomited, and children were playing in it.

With Gu Yanzhen's demeanor and temperament, it was obviously a little incompatible with this restaurant, and it attracted the attention of some people as soon as he came in, but the sixth child's eyes were gloomy, and the scar on his face dispelled these people's interest in continuing to watch. They walked to a table in the hotel, and spent a little bit of silver to let the down-and-out scribe who was originally sitting there get out, and then asked Xiao Er to clean up and send new wine and rice.

The noisy environment was still waiting quietly, after the wine and dinner came up, Gu Yanzhen said: "Sixth uncle, sit down, it should take a while......" The sixth man sat down according to his words, but did not start eating, after a while, Gu Yanzhen said: "Sixth uncle, do you have something to say?" ”

"I just think that the son is about to take office, and some small things, I'm afraid there will be extraneous branches."

"Last time, you were supportive."

"Just because the last time was a major event related to the future of Childe......"

"For me, Gu Yanzhen, it's actually all trivial." Gu Yanzhen smiled and looked at the sixth child, "The difference is only in what you do, whether you do it or not, the last time, it was not big, it was not an obstacle, this time, it is not small, I went back to Jiangning, most of the time I came for this matter, even if it is not perfect, there must be a result." ”

He paused: "Sixth, you said that among my friends, how many of them have been to this Haiqingfang?" ”

“…… I'm afraid it's not much. ”

"It's ridiculous that they are all rotten scholars. I just thought that writing a few poems would be extremely elegant, fighting with a few women on the boat, boasting about some national affairs, thinking that I could make the sea peaceful, and I couldn't see Mount Tai in sight. Three years ago, when I went to Tokyo, I met bandits on the road, and one by one they talked about helping the world and saving the people a moment ago, and then they panicked, but a few people who could still maintain their composure in front of the bandits, they cut it down with a knife, and when they saw the wound, they cried and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. ”

He raised a hand to the level of his eyes: "These pure literati only think that the world is really here. Then he pressed it down to the desktop, "But I don't know the so-called reality, but it is actually here." Relatively speaking, what is the point of those people mocking each other for a few words in Wenmo Loutou and thinking that they have taken a big advantage? Some time ago, when he learned the identity of the son-in-law, Shen Zishan only thought that he would expose the other party, and he thought that he had taken a big advantage when he saw some excitement, what is the actual point? It's like when I farmed this year and didn't harvest anything, and I saw that others had an accident and didn't harvest anything, I was happy, and this matter was ...... What's the point, am I still hungry? "I have been doing things since I was a child, I must be sure of what I want, what is indifferent, as long as I want to do something, I must be desperate to get results, I can't be perfect, and I will never let go, I can have eighty percent of it, and I can have seventy percent of it." If I am an official in the future, I should do the same, do things for the common people of this Li people, if I am not perfect, why don't I do it? ”

He knocked on the table: "If the situation is chaotic and complicated today, the foundation of the Wu Dynasty is in danger, what is the use of literati saying some peaceful truths." For example, the story on the streets of Tokyo, saying who and how to humiliate the envoys of the Liao State, the listener is happy, but if you really meet the Liao people, it is not a detour, and now our dynasty is not bullied by the Liao people? When we act, we should face our hearts and know what we want......"

"Actually, it's also because I'm still young and not cultivated enough, and when I come back this time, I have too many thoughts and desires in advance. I knew that * Zi was ruthless, but I didn't think that Yunzhu was such a vulgar thing, which disappointed me. In a few years, I should not be taken advantage of by such feelings, but if I let go of it this time, he will think of it one day, and it will become a hindrance to my heart, and my thoughts will not be able to reach it. He closed his eyes slightly, and his mind flashed the dumbness and astonishment after being slapped on the street that day, and the shameful laughter in the hearts of many onlookers.

"One bent his waist for Doumi, entered the family of a merchant, and in turn wrote two poems, thinking that he had become a famous scribe in the world, and probably thought that he was particularly maverick and different. When one does a small business, he thinks how noble he is, and forgets his former identity. They are all ant-like laymen, sixth uncle, in today's world, what is the big deal? It's just a little thing, I did it casually, and I will go to Leping in the future, and then go to the Northland, this thing...... And what's it? ”

After saying this, he looked out of the store, and two figures were already coming this way in the rain......

Haiqingfang, welcome restaurant.

In the noisy and bleak yellow lights, the sixth child stood up from his seat and stood beside Gu Yanzhen, Gu Yanzhen's eyes also shook slightly, and then regained his indifference and composure. At the door, two figures dressed in robes came in from there, and looking around, some people made eye contact with the two, and their voices were reduced. Most of the people who have been here for a long time know these two. When Xiao Er greeted him, he was two heads shorter than the leader and looked like a child.

Both of them were burly and tall, and they were not dressed in the short-fought attire of a warrior, and they looked like fishermen. But the leader was more than two meters tall, and his body was also well-proportioned and sturdy, and his eyes were a little calm, while the other person seemed to be full of flesh, he was slightly shorter than the leader, but he looked like an iron tower, his skin was dark, and his eyes were smaller, full of anger. This kind of person is probably the kind that others don't want to provoke in the rivers and lakes, and even the sixth person who followed Gu Yanzhen seems weak compared to them.

Looking around the restaurant, the leader opened the shopkeeper with a big hand, and came over to Gu Yanzhen and the sixth child, and the others basically didn't look at them much, only a few martial artists who seemed to be outsiders were talking at the door of the store, and at this time they turned their heads to look at the two, and the tower-like man stood still, staring at the past, these warriors who ran the rivers and lakes did not show weakness, the two sides looked at each other for a moment, but after all, these Jianghu people withdrew their eyes.

The tower followed the person in front of him, and then thought that he had found something in the restaurant, reached out and touched the big man who was a head taller than him, pointed to the side, and said a few words, the big man nodded, and the tower walked over there, and the big man came to Gu Yanzhen's side, showing a seemingly heroic smile, and slapped Gu Yanzhen's shoulder.

"Gu Gongzi, it's been a long time."

His words were calm, but his voice was not loud, so that the people next to him would not hear him. Gu Yanzhen shook her body by this slap, gritted her teeth and steadied, and said indifferently: "Please do something." ”

"What kind of work is it?"

"It's pretty much the same as last time."

"Out of the assassins, in the last few days, the wind has been tight."

"It will be removed tomorrow."

"Ha Luha, so, you are the son of the ......"

The big man sat there, Gu Yanzhen seemed completely disproportionate to his size, and he smiled at this time, looking around. Gu Yanzhen was also looking over there at this time, and saw that on the side of the restaurant, a person pushed aside the stool and ran away, and the tower took a few steps over, picked up a stool and knocked the person to the ground.

"Run?" The second bang went down, and the stool was already broken, "It's not good for Lao Huang to owe money"

"Laughing, my brother counts." The big man picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "When did your brother also go out of loan sharking?" ”

"Is this what you should ask?" Gu Yanzhen originally asked with a smile, but when Dahan looked at him, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and Dahan patted him on the shoulder again, "Brother Gongzi, you have to talk about your duty, you shouldn't ask, don't ask nonsense...... I don't have much money, and I don't lend money, but since he doesn't plan to pay me back, he shouldn't have borrowed from me. ”

At this time, the sixth child gently tapped Gu Yanzhen's shoulder, Gu Yanzhen looked over to the side of the restaurant, and two officials were walking by outside, and they also noticed the chaos in the restaurant.

"I'll go upstairs." He said this, and waited until the big man nodded, and then he and Lao Liu walked towards the stairs, and when they reached the top of the stairs, they stopped and looked back.

The sound of kicking, beating and scolding in the restaurant continued, and the person who was beaten kept begging for mercy and trying to escape. This kind of thing is also commonplace in Haiqingfang, the two officials watched at the door for a while, probably because they didn't want to care, but then they saw that the person who was beaten had vomited blood all over the ground, and the official headed by him went over: "Stop Yang Heng, you want to kill someone."

The two officials are also a head shorter than the tower, maybe they can add up to one of him, but after all, it is depressing, and this side has to give some face. The man who was beaten to the point of dying on the ground struggled to run behind the servant, vomiting blood in his mouth: "Second Master Yang, Second Master, I will definitely pay it back, I will definitely pay it back, I have joined the Tiehe Gang, my hall master is Tan Ye, you look at his face, delay me for two days, I will definitely ...... back"

"Tan Ye? Although our brother doesn't have a gang of Rausch, even if you gang leader sees us, we have to give us face, and you take his name...... Is it enough?"

As he spoke, he grabbed a stool and smashed it again, and then wanted to chase and fight, but the slightly younger servant suddenly stepped out to stop him, and pulled out the knife in his hand: "You stop" The knife was held down by the elderly servant next to him halfway through, and the strong man named Yang Heng saw his action and stopped: "Zheng Bantou, your little brother, is a newcomer?" ”

The older officer looked at him: "If you continue to fight, he will die."

"Hmph." It's nothing to injure or maim someone, if you die directly, you can't explain it to anyone after all, Yang Heng snorted with a smile, and then raised his hand, "Okay, I, Yang Heng, am a law-abiding person, give Zheng Bantou your face today, even if he owes me money, I am justified first, and I will not pursue it now, but you have to take care of your new little brother in the future." Draw a knife casually...... What to do if you are scared to death? ”

He held out his finger and nodded silently at the young servant's forehead. The seriously injured man in the rear only said: "I will definitely pay it back, I will pay ......it back" Yang Heng squatted down and looked at him: "No need to pay it back, when your injury medicine is just for me to remember in the future, there are two kinds of people in this world, one is a gangster, and the other is an outlaw." You are a gangster, if you want to dirty money, you should defile the money of those who are also gangsters like you, and you should not stain my brothers."

After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the big man in the lead.

The young servant was already blushing, and then he was dragged out by the elder man, and under the rain curtain, he pulled a few steps before turning to leave: "Team leader, who is that?" ”

The head of the team had a gloomy face: "Yang Yi and Yang Heng, two brothers, don't mess with them if you don't have anything to do."

"How can such people be so arrogant?"

"These two ...... It's a real outlaw......" The head of the squad took a deep breath, "But they don't usually cause big things, they are quite measured, several gangs on the side of Haiqingfang don't dare to mess with them, in the early years, Yang Yi once killed the iron sand gang alone, dragging the intestines of a hall master to run around the street three times, killing bloody, the real ruthless ......"

“…… Murder on hand? ”

"Everyone knows that they must have a murder, but the gangs are fighting with each other, and it is difficult to manage the accounts, and the rest of the people have no evidence. They won't learn from others to make a small fuss, this time the gambler who owes money is also damned, gambling money in the early years, and losing all the daughters in the family, this time the money was borrowed to their brother's head, and he deserved to have this reward. In the early years, when Lei Bantou was there, he thought about treating them, arrested Yang Yi, and ran away with Yang Heng, this Yang Yi has been staying up in prison, and he doesn't admit his guilt...... I still let him go, but they can also be people, and then they sent gifts to Lei Bantou's house to thank him. After that, no one wants to mess with them easily......"

After the older officer said this, the younger one was also a little surprised, and the old officer shook his head and said: "In short, if you really want to do it, you will kill them at one time, if you don't have this opportunity, try to care less, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Their brothers are also measured in many things, this is the real ruthless person, in Haiqingfang, there are many gangsters...... Take care of these, and there will be no big things that are too eye-catching, that is, ......"

Lightning streaked across the sky, and the two officials walked forward. Thrown into the restaurant at the back, the Yang brothers walked all the way to the second floor and talked about the deal with Gu Yanzhen in the box.

The ancient city of Jiangning, the rain curtain stretches......
