Slippery Town.

Located in the north of Dong'e County and the west of Pingyin County, with the Daqing River at its back, Huakou Town can be described as a place of transportation and a place where commerce and trade converge in all directions, and it has been an important commercial town in the north of Yanzhou since the present dynasty.

It is precisely because of the convenient geographical location of Huakou Town that the town is crowded with people and shops, and the commercial goods from all over Shandong and even those in Nanzhili and Henan will be transported to all parts of Shandong through Huakou Town for sale.

When commerce flourishes, there will be bullies and bullies to benefit from it.

Because of this, the imperial court deliberately set up a hundred households in this not very large slip town to deter, which is a rare situation in other villages and towns.

When Zhang Xiaojun rushed to Huakou Town with two young and strong servants, it was already the afternoon of the day, and the three people who rarely left Yushanji walked in the streets and alleys of Huakou Town, and suddenly felt dizzy, dazzled by the crowd of people in the town and the shops one by one, and everyone was excited.

It is no wonder that although Zhang Xiaojun and the three of them have lived in Yushanji for more than ten or twenty years, they rarely come to Huakou Town, which is already a prosperous existence for the three of them.

The three of them walked for a while, and a young man asked, "Sentry Chief, where are the hundred households?" Where do you find this man? ”

Zhang Xiaojun said: "When Hu Xiaoqi came last time, I asked specifically to know the general direction. Walk! Let's go that way. ”

After walking for a while, the three of them walked through the crowd to the front of the hundred households, and explained their intentions to the porter.

It didn't take long for Hu Dexing to come out laughing: "Haha, Brother Zhang, we haven't seen each other for a few days, we must have a good drink today!" Come on, let's go inside! ”

After speaking, Hu Dexing pulled Zhang Xiaojun and beckoned the three of them to go in together.

Zhang Xiaojun said with a smile: "Master Hu, we won't go in, we came today to specially invite Lord Hu." ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

"We haven't seen each other for a while, Brother Juntao, we all miss Master Hu very much, so I came over to invite the adults to go to Yushan Market together, and our brothers should have a drink together!"

Hu Dexing laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's okay! Drinking in these hundred households is also fucking unpleasant! Wait a minute, three brothers, I'll call Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen together, and let's go. ”

Zhang Xiaojun said with a smile: "Lord Hu is not in a hurry, my two brothers are waiting for adults here, I will go to the town to get some good wine first, and we will meet in Yushanji!" ”

"It's good! Brother Zhang, you have to be faster, we can't drink without you. ”

After Zhang Xiaojun said goodbye to Hu Dexing, he glanced at the two young men, and both of them nodded slightly.

After that, Zhang Xiaojun returned to the streets of Huakou Town, looked at the streets where people came and went, and didn't know where to go to find out about the news of the Wang family's industry for a while.

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun saw a tavern not far away, which was full, so he walked in.

Zhang Xiaojun casually found a seat, asked for a plate of side dishes, and chatted with the surrounding drinkers.

"This old brother, this slippery town is really prosperous, there are shops everywhere, this is comparable to Yanzhou Mansion, right?"

The man smiled and said: "That's natural, although our slippery town is not big, but the daily circulation of silver is also innumerable!" ”

"It's incredible! There are a lot of rich people in that town, right? ”

"That's not much."

Zhang Xiaojun said with a smile: "Hehe, that's similar to my family, there are no big families, everyone is poor." ”

"Where are you there?"

When the man heard Zhang Xiaojun say this, his face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he said, "Where is your home?" Can it be compared to the town of Slip? Although there are not many rich families in my slippery town, there is a Wang family, and it is a huge wealth with a lot of money and food! ”

Zhang Xiaojun sneered and said, "The Wang family? What industries are there in town? How dare you call it super-rich? ”

As soon as he said this, the man's whole face turned red, and his voice raised a few points, and said: "The Wang family has a restaurant and a gambling house on East Street, and there is also a gambling house in the south of the town. Just these three shops, the Wang family is making money every day! Isn't that super-rich? ”

Speaking of this, the man leaned in front of Zhang Xiaojun and whispered: "Not to mention that the Wang family also sells illicit salt!" ”

Zhang Xiaojun pretended to be very shocked, and then continued to talk with the man, asked the details of the three shops of the Wang family clearly, and then laughed and left.

When Zhang Xiaojun set off to return to Yushanji, Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen, accompanied by the two young men, had already come to Guo's house.

Liu Juntao, Yan Hu and Zhang Baigui greeted them outside the door together, everyone was very happy to see each other, and after a pleasant greeting, Hu Dexing said strangely: "Huh? Brother Juntao, where did Guo Yuanwai go? You can't drink without Guo Yuanwai today! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Juntao and the others all looked gloomy, and no one answered for a while.

"What's wrong? Something is wrong! ”

Seeing this, Hu Dexing suddenly secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly said loudly: "You guys are talking? What's the matter, it's! ”

Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Master Hu, don't say anything, let's go to Guo Yuan's outer room first." ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao led Hu Dexing and the three to Guo Yongzhong's room and saw Guo Yongzhong lying on the bed with a blue nose and swollen face.

At this time, Guo Yongzhong opened his eyes slightly and opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, as if he would die at any time.

"Guo Yuanwai!"

Hu Dexing exclaimed in surprise when he saw Guo Yongzhong's appearance, and then asked angrily: "Who did it!" I'm really impatient, Lao Tzu killed his whole family! ”

Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen were also furious when they saw this, and they couldn't stop scolding.

Tang Yu, who was waiting for Guo Yongzhong next to him, said with a sad expression: "Lord Hu, a few days ago, a group of thieves took advantage of the opportunity of Brother Juntao and the young guards to go out to practice, and they came to the village to rob people when they saw them, almost ransacking the village, and kidnapping my young lady. My family members stepped forward to say a few words, and they were beaten like this by the gang of thieves, and they were almost beaten to death! ”

"Bastard! There's no way to do it! Where is the thief? I'm going to kill these bastards! ”

Liu Juntao said lightly: "Lord Hu, don't worry, that gang of thieves has been killed by us." In fact, I invited Mr. Hu over today to discuss with Mr. Hu how to deal with the aftermath. ”

Hearing this, Hu Dexing suddenly snorted, looked at Liu Juntao, Zhang Baigui, Tang Yu, and Yan Hu who were staring at him intently, and then looked at Guo Yongzhong, who was lying on the bed and secretly aimed at him, and secretly said bad in his heart.

Sun Xu next to him secretly dragged Hu Dexing, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Boss, why do I think we have been calculated!" ”

Hu Dexing knew in his heart that if he was really an ordinary little thief, with Liu Juntao's courage and the strength of the Yushan Guards, there was no need to deceive himself into discussing the aftermath.

The thief Tang Yu said is definitely not an ordinary robber, and if he can't get it, he is a big man who doesn't even dare to provoke himself!

Thinking of this, Hu Dexing asked with a pale face: "Where is the thief?" How many have you killed? ”

At this time, Liu Juntao nodded at Yan Hu, Yan Hu turned around and went out without saying a word, and walked in with a human head in a moment.

Liu Juntao took it and stepped forward and said, "Can you know this person, Lord Hu?" ”

Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen looked at each other, and suddenly their hairs exploded, and the three of them almost sat on the ground in shock, and almost exclaimed in unison: "Wang Bozong!" ”

Hu Dexing rushed over, grabbed Liu Juntao and shouted, "Say! How many people did you kill? ”

"There are forty-five people in total, plus Wang Bozong, and three prisoners. However, the three captives ran away last night. ”

Hearing this, Hu Dexing almost wanted to cry without tears, and said: "What is the use of you calling me for such a big thing?" ”

Sun Xu and Meng Fanchen next to them were also a little depressed, obviously frightened by what was in front of them.

Liu Juntao patted Hu Dexing's shoulder and said, "Let's go to the main hall to talk, and let Guo Yuanwai take a rest." The reason why I sent Zhang Xiaojun to invite you is because when Guo Yuanwai and Na Wang Bozong were theorizing, they raised the name of Lord Hu, hoping to suppress the other party, but they didn't want to attract a violent beating. ”

"There's still something about me here!"

Hu Dexing looked at Liu Juntao with wide eyes, and wanted to beat Liu Juntao violently, but saw that Liu Juntao turned his head slightly, and he seemed to run out with Yan Hu.

Hu Dexing turned his head and glared at Guo Yongzhong and Tang Yu, both of whom unconsciously looked away.

At this time, Hu Dexing only walked to the main hall with his heavy legs, ready to listen to what Liu Juntao had to say.

Meng Fanchen also faltered to follow, and when Sun Xu walked out, he turned back to Guo Yongzhong and said, "Guo Yuanwai, you are really bold!" ”

After the three of them went out, Guo Yongzhong sat up and muttered with a bitter face: "How can we have such courage? Jun Tao is the only one who is bold! ”

When Hu Dexing, Sun Xu, and Meng Fanchen came to the main hall, they saw Liu Juntao and Yan Hu standing in the hall, and there were three wooden boxes in the room.

Just when Hu Dexing and the three of them were stunned, Yan Hu stepped forward and opened the three wooden boxes one by one, only to see that they contained a box of silver and two boxes of illicit salt.

Then, Liu Juntao told the whole story, of course, he didn't forget to involve Hu Dexing.

After that, Liu Juntao said: "Master Hu has come to this point, we have no other choice but to fight to the death with the Wang family!" This silver and private salt are part of the money we seized at the abandoned station, and almost half of them were given to Lord Hu and a few brothers! ”

"These are for us?"

Hu Dexing couldn't believe it.

"That's right! These are estimated to be enough for the brothers to eat and drink for the rest of their lives. But ......"

Liu Juntao looked at Hu Dexing and the three of them with a little straight eyes, and continued: "But for the Wang family, these goods are just a drop in the bucket! Lord Hu and a few brothers took the money and could find another way to hide, and watched my Yushanji and the Wang family fight to the death with cold eyes, I, Liu Juntao and the villagers of Yushanji, will never blame Lord Hu, after all, people are not killed for themselves! Of course, if Lord Hu is willing to fight against the Wang family together with my Yushan set, in the future, there will be Lord Hu and a few brothers in the Wang family's earth-pouring wealth! ”

Hu Dexing couldn't help but fall into contemplation when he heard this, and Meng Fanchen next to him asked in a daze: "If we fight the Wang family with Yushanji, can we still take these goods?" ”

"Of course! No matter how Lord Hu and his brothers choose, these treasures are yours! ”

Hu Dexing glared at Meng Fanchen, and then said: "But we are an official army, I'm afraid we can't explain how to kill good people rashly!" ”

"Good people?"

Liu Juntao snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Lord Hu asks himself, can the Wang family be regarded as a good citizen?" Besides, this time we are not a private fight, but Lord Hu requisitioned my Yushan to gather young people to exterminate the salt owls! ”

Hu Dexing was obviously a little moved when he heard this, but he was still a little hesitant in the face of the Wang family.

Sun Xu made up his mind and said to Hu Dexing: "Boss, this is an opportunity!" The credit for exterminating the eight directions of the town was taken away by the hundred households, and now you are still a small flag official, and the sixth brother and brother who died in battle did not even have the settlement fee, you haven't had enough of such aggrieved days! ”

Meng Fanchen also said: "Yes, boss! If we join forces with Yushanji to kill the Wang family, who in the hundred households will dare to fight against our brothers? Even if we don't get promoted to our officials, what are you worried about with all this money? ”

"Damn, I did it!"

Hu Dexing suddenly shouted: "Brother Juntao, let's make a bloody alliance today, then the Wang family is dead!" ”
