Chapter 10 Liang Shang
The days flew by, and the days passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, Pei Guo also entered the city twice, wandering around aimlessly a few times, and finally never saw the girl in Luo Yi again.
Today's weather is cooler, sweeping away the summer heat, the whole person is in a lot of energy, no one wants to be bored at home anymore, He Batyue invited all the brothers to come to Yunlai Restaurant to gather. Everyone had nothing to do, so they chartered the entire second floor of the restaurant, drank a lot of wine, and chatted about the new things that had happened in the town recently.
After three rounds of drinking, He Batsheng was already slightly drunk, and when he raised his eyes and saw Pei Guo and Yu Wenying sitting together talking, he couldn't help grinning and staggering forward: "Xiaoguo'er! Did you give away the bracelet last time? ”
Pei Guo smiled awkwardly, and Yu Wenying raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?" ”
He Batsheng knew that Yu Wenying was most likely to react like this, but he didn't think it was angry, he didn't care about Yu Wenying, he only chased after Pei Guo and smiled: "Most of them can't be sent?" Your sister Jiaying said early ago that she wanted you to find a good thing by yourself, why didn't you listen? Don't say brother, I won't help you, listen up, let's go to Dongguo City, and there are Nanliang merchants selling rare objects there. ”
Yu Wenying looked indifferent, but a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't deceive people, staring at Pei Guo, full of eagerness. I didn't want Pei Guo to open his mouth, but what he said was: "Those Nanliang merchants are still in the city?" ”
Yang Zhong happened to be beside him, and when he heard the words, he replied, "That's not true. The items transported by the Liang merchants were indeed rare and sold hotly. The previous group of Liang merchants had already sold chimes and left the market, but the day before yesterday, another group of Liang merchants came, and there were a lot of goods. ”
Pei Guo frowned: "Another one?" It's strange ... When everyone heard Pei Guo speak like this, they all gathered over and asked, "What's the explanation?" ”
Pei Guo said: "In recent years, Wuchuan Town has rarely seen foreign merchants, and most of them have come from Pingcheng, and even the merchants from Heluo in the Central Plains are very few... Now, in just over ten days, there have been two groups of Nanliang merchants, which is not unusual? In fact, there is still a sentence in his heart that he has not said: not only Liang Shang frequently comes to Wuchuan, but also the woman of Liang who appears out of thin air like a dream... Is there any connection here?
Yu Wentai groaned: "It's really a little strange... Although my Great Wei can't help but trade with the Southern Liang, most of those Liang merchants will return after selling their goods to Luoyang, so why come all the way to Wuchuan? ”
Pei Guo hummed and said: "What's more, most of the things sold by these merchants are gold and jade ornaments, and they are not the grain, straw, clothes and silks that the six towns urgently need. According to the reason that Luoyang is rich, the price of these ornaments in Luoyang should be better. How can a businessman seek profit at the expense of the near and far? ”
The two sang and harmonized, and everyone felt justified after listening to it, scratching their heads and cheeks one by one, and thinking about it for a long time. Yu Wenying was the only one, sighed to himself, turned his head, and didn't bother to pay attention to everyone.
Everyone was drinking and chatting, but some people said a few guesses, but most of them couldn't explain it. The hours passed, and a lot of wine was drunk, but no one could say anything. At this time, everyone was already half drunk, and their minds were a little confused, but their strength was up, and they were babbling and shouting one by one. He Bayue had a headache when he heard this, slapped the wine case suddenly, and shouted: "Don't guess, don't guess!" Let's go to Dongguo City, find out those Liang merchants, and ask directly! ”
"Good!" In response to the chorus, a group of semi-drunk people staggered to Dongguo City with staggering steps.
。。。。。。
After a moment or three, the Dongguo City of Wuchuan City, which was in a depression, suddenly became lively. More than a dozen drunks surrounded several Nanliang merchants, exhaling the smell of wine, pushing and shoving. There are all the townspeople watching the excitement, although the dozen or so people who make trouble are the children of well-known wealthy families in the city, and it seems that they are even more unkind when they are drunk, but which of these border town soldiers and civilians is good at stubble? One by one, they didn't think much of it, gathered together, and applauded loudly.
"Xiao Langjun don't talk nonsense with him, start fighting! The mother-in-law and aunt at home were deceived by these Liang people, and bought back a bunch of broken hairpins and rotten embroidery, can they eat or wear them? Let's work hard to save some money and food, it's all a waste! ”
"It's time to fight! The Liang people are treacherous, and they sell things expensively, and they refuse to bargain. We don't have this rule in Wuchuan Town! ”
"Kombat! Kombat ! It's best to kill. I'm just waiting to divide up the items in this stall, hahahaha! ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, several Liang merchants packed up their stalls and prepared to slip away. This side of the carriage had already annoyed He Batsheng, stepped forward with one hand, and easily clamped the two Liang Shang, although he struggled desperately, where could he move a little? The Hou Mochen brothers kicked behind their backs and kicked two more. The last Liang Shang became anxious and shouted loudly: "Hugh is going to mess around!" Do you know who my owner is? After speaking, he seemed to regret it again, and he was silent.
He Batyue took a step forward and said with a smile: "Come, come, and speak." The wine foam sprayed Liang Shang's face, and a pair of fists were also raised.
The merchant saw that he really couldn't hide, so he had to whisper: "I am a few people from Qianjinfang, and I hope that this Lang Jun will raise his noble hand and let me go, and the owner will be grateful!" ”
"Qianjinfang?" He Bayue pondered for a moment and said, "Meng Zuo (Li Hu's character) and Yuan Gui (Zhao Gui's character), but the gambling house where the three of us went last time?" ”
"That's right! It's the Golden Place. Li Hu replied: "Magnificent and magnificent, it is a good place." Zhao Gui continued: "That's right." The gambling house was already dilapidated, I heard that it was a wealthy merchant from Nanliang, who took over, spent a lot of effort to renovate, made it decent, changed its name to Qianjinfang, and now the business is quite prosperous. ”
He Bayue sneered, "So what? Are we still afraid that a beam merchant will not succeed? ”
At this time, Dugu Xin whispered beside him: "Liang Shang is naturally nothing. But I heard that Wuchuan Town will secretly occupy fifty percent of this gambling house, so no one dares to make trouble in Qianjinfang... ”
He Bayue's brows furrowed: "Is this true? How dare he collude with Liang Shang and set up a private gambling house? ”
Dugu Xin sighed and said, "I think it's mostly true." It's just such a thing, how can you talk about it on the table? ”
The Nanliang merchant heard a few words like this, but when He Bayue was afraid, he coughed lightly and said leisurely: "How is it?" Have you thought about it? I still have important things to do, so I won't delay here... He shook his head and looked fearless.
"Think about your ancestors!" He Bayue suddenly changed color, and with a punch, the merchant shrank into a shrimp, kneeling on the ground and unable to speak.
He Bayue immediately shouted: "This thief bird claims to be a member of Qianjinfang, and says that I will never dare to touch him. Brothers, you say, at every turn? ”
"Move! The grandson didn't move him! Everyone was in an uproar, and one by one they became more and more hideous, so frightened that several merchants couldn't hold their heads.
He Bayue shouted loudly, and the townspeople around him who were watching the excitement also heard it clearly, and immediately exploded: "Qianjinfang? Is that the Qianjinfang that killed a thousand knives? A few days ago, the five members of the Po Doluo family in the north of the city hanged themselves, because they couldn't afford to pay off the gambling debts they owed to this Qianjinfang, and they were forced to die! ”
"Since the opening of this Qianjinfang, there are not one or two people in Wuchuan City, how many people have separated their wives and broken families!"
"Who's to say it isn't? I also heard that there is a private dungeon in the Qianjinfang, and people are often locked in prisons, ranging from beheading hands and feet to taking their lives, and even destroying corpses! ”
"Look! And voila! Old man, these three fingers of my right hand are called Qianjinfang to chop them off! I also wronged the old man, I made a thousand... Xiaolang gentlemen are righteous, why don't you make the decision for everyone and go and smash the Qianjinfang? ”
"smashed the Qianjinfang, and gave Wuchuan's father justice!"
For a while, the crowd was furious, shouting and killing. He Batyue was still a little indecisive, but He Batsheng was so strong that he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Go and go!" Fuck it! "Pick up the two Liang merchants and open the way first. Yuwen Boss Yuwen Hao also felt his blood boiling, and roared and followed. The two bigwigs go first, where do the rest of the people have something to say? At that moment, he grabbed the other three Liang merchants and swarmed away.
Seeing the lively townspeople getting more and more noisy, a large number of people followed in the sound of calling for their fathers and mothers. However, many townsmen and townspeople stayed in place, and they went crazy to rob the goods of the Liang merchants, and even beat their heads to the point of bleeding. . .
Yu Wentai, Yu Wenying, and Pei Guo fell last. Yu Wenying looked at the chaos in the field, frowned, and said, "These people... His legs and feet grew on him, and no one forced him to wait for a knife to go to the gambling house, but he only blamed the gambling house if he lost, and he didn't blame himself. ”
Yu Wentai nodded, and said hatefully: "Of course the gambling house is not clean, and there are few good people in this job." The most hateful self-cowardly and fearful, but at this time, he provoked a few brothers to help him wait for him! ”
"Let's go!" Pei Guo sighed: "The matter has come to this point, and it is not good for me to stay out of it." What's more, Liang Shang actually came from Qianjinfang, and the strange situation here is getting bigger and bigger, so I have to find out. When he said this, the image of a woman in Luo Yi flashed inexplicably, and kept echoing in his mind.
