Although they are all thieves, there is also a big difference between thieves and thieves. For example, Qi Yan, a thief with a branch, is the most difficult to practice as a snitch among all stealing techniques; The rest are also the earth jumpers who specialize in stealing graves and digging graves, the rouge rats that steal gold and silver jewelry in the boudoir, and the row of fans that pry the doors and slip locks......

But although there are many thieves in this world, they have never been able to hide from Qi Yan's fairy eyes! However, even this thief genius, who grew up in a den of thieves, has never seen a precedent for a child under the age of fourteen to come out and do his work!

In order to inherit and develop, of course, they will also take in orphans, and will also teach them various types of professional skills from an early age; But only orphans who have reached the age of fourteen and are capable enough to become an apprentice can be allowed to walk on the rivers and lakes, and it is not a compulsory and inevitable choice!

According to Qi Yan, more than ninety percent of the locksmiths in Youbei Sanlu and the Northern Yan Dynasty were raised by Xiaoqimen; It's just that they don't want to step into the thief's way, and they want to eat a bowl of tea and rice with their skills.

Thinking about it like this, it's really strange that there are many things every day, and there are a lot of health improvements!

Because according to the rules of Jianghu Dao, the tooth man who broke the rules before will definitely be knocked out of his mouth full of teeth in public by the head of the local dental shop, and then cut off his tongue with a red-hot knife, which will cut off his possibility of eating a bowl of open-mouthed rice! And the child who cut the purse, because he is still young, although he can be exempt from punishment; But this child's mentor will have three fingers chopped off, and then pick the immortal tendons of his habitual hands, and abolish the skills he has worked so hard to cultivate!

It's not just the people of Xiaojiamen who can be executed, all the old people on the rivers and lakes, as long as they know this rule, can clean the door on behalf of his division commander. Because such people not only ruin their reputation, but also damage the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes here; Even if his own seniority is not as high as the other party, he can report it level by level, and several local seniors from outside the country will work together to clean up the portal for the entire Jianghu Road.

And Shen Gui and Qi Yan have this qualification and ability.

However, although they can do this in the Northern Yan Dynasty, it is obviously not feasible to put it in this Jiankang City! Because until now, the two brothers have not met an old man who can celebrate the spring!

When you are in a foreign land, there will be many inconveniences. The rivers and lakes are so big that no one can manage all the injustices. Shen Gui and Qi Yan still shook their heads and sighed, and walked towards Xinghualou......

"I'm sorry, but our store is closed now, and we can't entertain two distinguished guests, so please go to another house and ask."

The young man standing at the door to greet the guests was still enthusiastic and happy; But as soon as he saw Shen Gui and Qi Yan coming straight to him, he immediately put up that lively face. Although this is quite polite, whether it is the drunkards full of friends behind them, or the running house work that keeps shuttling back and forth, they are clearly told that the so-called rest stove is just a soft nail!

The restaurant is an open business, and there is no reason to disperse customers! According to the rules of the restaurant, at this time, even if Shen Gui slapped him and pulled out half of his teeth, and then kicked the dining table and smashed the cabinet, they couldn't make any sense at all!

However, the weirdness in Jiankang City is not only his Xinghualou...... Since you want to endure it, then simply endure it to the end!

"Ahem...... Let's take a break, we don't drink or eat, we just came to find a friend. ”

"Who's going to be whom, report a name, and the little one will be called to you!"

"Let's go in and find it ourselves."

"I'm sorry, the threshold of our Xinghualou is a bit high today, and you two can't step in!"

The good things have been said over and over again, but this little guy is bitten to death and will not be accepted, and Shen Gui really has no other words to say!

The code words that the two of them saw outside the city wall before only said that they would meet in the Xinghualou in the city today, but did not say the specific time; Anyway, the two of them didn't have anything else to do, so they just died in Xinghualou and waited. But now they can't even enter the door, could it be that the two of them can only squat at the gate of other people's houses and smell it?

"Hey! I'm talking about you eyeless dog! Do you think that we are foreigners, and we can't pay the bill without money? How can anyone enter casually, but our brothers don't even let us cross the threshold? Call your shopkeeper out, I want to ask what the truth is.

"Of course, the two of you have silver, and those who have a lot of silver have jumped out by themselves! But helplessly, our temple can't accommodate the big Bodhisattva, you two can jump to anyone's house with this silver, but we have no blessing to eat. As for our shopkeeper...... No need to scream, it's useless to scream, I can do this Lord! And don't talk about our Xinghualou, do you see this street? Although all the restaurants are opened, even if you two lose your thighs, don't try to find a piece of meat and a glass of wine on this street! ”

When Qi Yan and this little guy were grinding their teeth, Shen Gui also carefully observed each other's expressions from the side. He found that although this person's words were unreasonable, his expression was not arrogant, nor was he half proud or disdainful...... It seems that the real reason behind this matter is really not in Xinghualou......

"There's a fight over there, hey, let's go and see a lively ......"

As the voice behind him became more and more noisy, Shen Gui also looked at the crowd that was calling friends; I saw that halfway through here, I had already surrounded a circle of people. Shen Gui grabbed Qi Yan, who was still fighting with the little guy, and quickly ran outside the mouth of the alley, which was quite familiar......

He parted the crowd, and saw the little thin man with a thief's eyebrows, now standing in the middle of the crowd; Behind him, there were several sturdy young men, who were forming a small circle, unable to see what they were doing......

"Hey? Good boy, I really haven't left! Bring seeds, I like you! Brothers, stop, let's get today's big dish! ”

As soon as the little thin man saw Shen Gui and Qi Yan separate from the crowd, revealing two familiar and hateful faces, he immediately pointed at Qi Yan's nose and shouted loudly. As the crowd in the inner circle stopped, they saw that in the alley behind them, gardenias were splashed all over the ground, and there was an old lady with a white hair and a pool of blood......

She ...... She...... She's sixty years old, to say the least! Grandma is older than many of you, so you can do it too? They were all raised by live animals, huh? ”

Shen Gui stretched out his two fingers, tremblingly pointed at the flower seller who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, staring at the little thin man opposite in disbelief and asked.

"What's wrong with sixty? You don't ask the people on this street, what kind of person is my green snake? Eighty of them are all six! ”

As soon as he heard this, the crowd of onlookers began to show resentment; It seems that no matter where you are, the ruffians who beat the old man have broken through the moral bottom line that the world can accept!

As soon as the green snake finished talking, he glanced left and right, only to see the angry crowd getting closer and closer, and everyone's faces were still gritting their teeth, and he panicked instantly; However, he stepped back and bumped into a strong young man behind him, and immediately changed to a different face!

"This old woman broke the rules on the street, was implicated by others, and deserved to be beaten, and had nothing to do with others! Look at what you mean, you still want to fight the injustice and get over the addiction of being a hero, right? ”

Speaking of which, the green snake ripped open the placket of his clothes, revealing a pair of rough tiger head embroidery on his chest:

"Lao Tzu is from the Southern Tiger Gang, if you think you have a strong arm, come up and try our Southern Tiger Gang's knife ......"

With that, he immediately pulled out a long dagger from his waist and shook it around in an extremely amateurish circle!

"Come on, let the snake master see how many of you nosy people are not afraid of death!"

With a chaotic sound of hula, the crowd that had already formed an encirclement instantly retreated seven or eight steps away; There were even a few people in the inner circle, stepping on the toes of the people behind them and leaning on the ground, rolling and crawling and moving backwards, lest they avoid it......

"I'll try ......"

The voice of this sentence was extremely low, as if there was a shadowless and invisible person who was speaking in the ear of the green snake! As soon as the words fell, Shen Gui, who had already gone around the back of the green snake, kicked the opponent's knee socket, and grabbed his hair with his right hand, pulling the dagger green snake and void in mid-air; Then he turned his left hand into a palm, and slashed at the opponent's right shoulder with great precision, and took advantage of the fact that the dagger he had released due to paralysis did not fall to the ground, and he bent down to copy it, and held the long dagger firmly in his hand......

The next knife slashes the throat, and the movement is extremely slow; There are traces in every direction of force, and the sound of every inch of skin being cut is also clear in the ears! When those miscellaneous crumbs beat up the mother-in-law who sold flowers just now, although it was also a posture of punching to the flesh and attracting blood, in terms of visual impact, it was definitely not as strong as Shen Gui's hand cutting his throat on the street! With a few screams and vomiting sounds, the already fragmented crowd of onlookers became a complete mess! Those who pushed each other, fled the way, and were as weak as mud, only turning the banks of the Qinhuai River, bathed in the afternoon sunshine, into a vegetable market where chickens fly and dogs jump!

"Murder!"

The woman's cry was sharp and thin, as sharp as an awl, and went straight into a small room not far away. At this time, there was a middle-aged man sitting in the room, who looked like a ground guard, and said to a catcher wearing an official uniform and stepping on official boots next to him:

"The official doesn't need to worry, they are the Southern Tiger Chamber of Commerce, but the president of this Changle Street has always been very measured, and he has never gone wrong; Moreover, for those profiteers who have violated the rules, if the punishment method is not decisive, it will also treat the symptoms but not the root cause! ”

The catcher stroked a silver ingot in his hand, and said hesitantly:

"But I heard people outside shouting about murder......"

"Hey, these little people, they like to shout when they have nothing to do! Look at the sky outside, who can be so stupid? If you plan to kill someone, you still have to settle on Changle Street on the bank of the Qinhuai River? Or do you do it in broad daylight? ”
