Beijing City, Shichahai, Ya'er Hutong, Tongyue Hotel.

Ala Tai, Si Ren, and Hong Shi'an sat around the wooden table, and Shi'an said, "Big brother, we have been in Beijing for a long time, and we should find something serious to do as soon as possible." ”

Si Ren said: "Don't worry, I haven't played enough." ”

Ala Tai said: "Brother Shi'an is right, we have to do something serious, so let's start tomorrow." ”

Siren asked, "Start work?" What kind of work? ”

Shi'an asked, "What is the eldest brother going to let us do?" ”

Allah smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's a happy thing." ”

Si Ren was overjoyed and asked, "What is there to do for my eldest brother?" ”

Alatai has his right hand and his left hand is Lasren, and his left hand is Lashi'an: "Now we still have more than two hundred taels of silver, and the Shi'an brothers still have ninety taels of gold, which is enough to do a big deal." I have a way, first go to the gambling house for half a month, meet some friends on the road, find out the market of Beijing casinos, and find an opportunity to open a gambling house by myself. ”

"Great," Si Ren bet, quite excited to hear this.

"Brother Shi'an, what do you think?" Seeing that Shi'an was speechless, Allah knew that he must have concerns.

Shi'an lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Big brother, since we are not short of money, why don't we do something serious, such as doing some business, although the gambling house makes money, but since ancient times, gambling has harmed others and themselves, and those who have gone bankrupt for a gambling word, and even robbed and killed tens of millions?" "Although Shi'an kills a lot of people, he resists blood in his heart, longs for kindness, and always feels that although he makes less money by doing serious things, he is down-to-earth.

"Serious? Haha, what's wrong with opening a casino? I said Shi'an, don't you think it's a pity that you use your skills to do business? Before Alata could speak, Siren rushed to shout.

Ala Tai knew a lot about the world's peace of mind, and persuaded: "Brother Shi'an, I know that you are faithful, but have you ever thought about it, in this world, which industry is serious?" You say that doing business is a serious thing, but you know no, honest and trustworthy businessmen, most of them can't make money, and those businessmen who will buy and sell bigger and bigger are definitely not serious people. ”

"That's it, you brainless ......" As soon as Ala Tai finished speaking, Siren was in a hurry to grab Bai Shi'an.

"Don't talk nonsense...... Alla Tai scolded Siren, turned to Shi'an and said: "Brother, you are humble, indisputable with others, and have a very good character, but this world can't tolerate your good nature. If you don't want to do it, it's okay, so what, Brother Siren and I will take care of it, you just sit there and drink tea, and you will be indispensable if you make money in the future. ”

Seeing that Shi'an's brain was so dull, Si Ren couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and now he was reprimanded by his eldest brother, and his heart was even more unhappy, and he said angrily: "You discuss it yourself, I don't care, I'll go outside to get two catties of wine to eat." ”

As soon as he left the door, Si Ren pushed the door in again, and said angrily: "Big brother, I don't do anything serious, as long as it's up to you to decide what is not serious, I support you, if he doesn't want to, the minority obeys the majority." ”

Siren left, and Ala Tai was also happy to see him leave, and he happened to concentrate on explaining his plan to Shi'an, because Shi'an was excellent in martial arts, and if he supported him, the matter of opening a gambling house would be undoubted. Ala Tai tied the door and talked with Shi'an for a long time, Shi'an was still worried, and said: "Big brother, although Shi'an has killed a lot, but there is no unjust ghost under him, I used to know a big brother Tang Hai, this person is quite strategic, determined to break the evil and establish the right is not in vain, the people in the rivers and lakes are called the world's first thief, Shi'an admires this person." Shi'an has nothing else to ask for in this life, he only wants to do things for others, he is worthy of the sky, he is worthy of the earth, he does not seek to be promoted and make a fortune, but he wants not to harm others. Therefore, I hope that the eldest brother will think about it carefully. ”

Hearing Shi'an's words, Alatai couldn't help but be silent.

Maybe Alatai's ambition is destined not to be realized, and when the grassland spirit fox is pondering how to persuade the stubborn Shi'an, there is a "bump... Touch... Bump...", Shi'an hurriedly went over to open the door, only to see Si Ren break into the room and shout: "Big brother, what about the knife, I'll hack those bastards to death." Allah was so shocked that he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, fighting with people again?" Si Ren said impatiently: "Don't ask, just give me the knife." Seeing Siren hurriedly rummaging for his saber in the room, his face was a little bruised and swollen, and there was a trace of blood on his nose, he guessed that he must have been beaten.

Ala Tai grabbed Si Ren and said angrily: "Do you still treat me as a big brother?" Si Ren was also in a rage, shouting: "Leave me alone, what about the knife?" ”

Allah was too angry and scolded: "This is not better than Hulunbuir, this is the capital of the Han people, the city is full of Dongchang and Jinyi Weifanzi, once you have a feud with these people, you and I will die without a place to be buried." ”

Si Ren didn't give in, shook off Allah too angrily and said, "Who have I Si Ren been afraid of? Don't say that Dongchang and Jinyi Wei Fanzi, it is the emperor Lao Tzu who provoked me, and I will kill him. ”

Allah was so angry that he took his saber and threw it on the ground: "If you don't recognize me as a big brother, you can take it!" ”

Seeing that the two were arguing seriously, Shi'an hurriedly came over to separate them, and asked Siren softly: "What's going on, you tell the eldest brother." ”

Seeing that Alatai's eyes were bloodshot, Si Ren knew that he was really angry, so he had to shrug his head and smile, spread his hands and said: "Big brother is also careful, how can there be any fan, it's just a few villains, if the eldest brother doesn't let him do it, Si Ren should be bitten by a dog!" As he spoke, Si Ren sat down on the stool and turned his head silently.

It turned out that after Si Ren went out, he happened to see a gambling house diagonally opposite the hotel, Si Ren thought that the eldest brother said that he wanted to go to the gambling house to meet friends and understand the market, so he went in, and saw that there were many new things in it, all of which were gambling methods that had not been seen in Hulunbuir, and he was interested in it. Si Ren squeezed into the middle of a bunch of people, saw a person with a bowl covering a square dice, everyone put money on the table to bet on the size, this is the Central Plains local gambling method, Si Ren has never seen it, quite novel, so he asked a man next to him: "Little brother, how to play this?" "The man who was asked is called Li Mingyue, a villain in Qinghe, Beijing, and a few brothers followed his cousin Mo Huai to the city to do business today, and took time to play two games in the gambling house. Li Mingyue saw that Siren was dressed plainly, looking five big and three thick, and he looked like a farmer from the deep mountains, and teased: "One or two silver and a game, can the hillbilly afford to play?" ”

Li Mingyue's words were like adding some condiments to the somen soup, which made the entire dull casino tasteful, and everyone looked at Si Ren's sloppy appearance and laughed one by one.

Siren was originally a herdsman, and the herdsmen were farmers, but later he was unwilling to be poor and went to the city to mingle. At the beginning of entering the city, he was often teased, and whenever someone ridiculed Siren as a herdsman, Siren's fists would rain down on his opponent and kowtow and beg for mercy. Later, his fame grew, and naturally no one dared to be presumptuous, and he didn't want to come to the country of the Han people after a few years, and some people would laugh at him.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

I saw Si Ren take out a silver ingot from his sleeve and hold it in his hand, and scolded: "Fuck your mother, my lord has money, do you dare to play with me?" ”

Although Li Mingyue said that her fighting skills were average, her gambling was first-class, and when she saw that Siren was challenging herself, and she also had money to make, she naturally responded to the battle and said, "Heh, Lao Tzu even won your pants today." ”

When everyone saw that the two were facing each other, they all shouted: "Yes, win his pants and let him go out with his bare ass, hahahaha." ”

Si Ren lost three games in a row, and a silver ingot was naturally someone else's.

Hooligans are never afraid of losing, they are afraid that their fists are not hard, as long as their fists are hard, they don't care about winning or losing at the table!

Li Mingyue happily reached out to take the silver on the table, and as soon as her hand touched it, she was pressed by Si Ren on the table with her hand and silver and couldn't move, Si Ren smiled: "Do you know what the hillbilly has hobbies?" ”

Li Mingyue is also a tricky ghost, and when she heard this, she immediately said loudly: "Hillbilly's hobbies are plowing the fields, herding cattle, washing pots, and carrying roof beams, haha." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the casino, and everyone was so unhappy.

"No, hillbilly's hobby is to beat city people." As soon as he finished speaking, Si Ren's fist had already hit Li Mingyue's face. Li Mingyue was coldly punched, her body stumbled a few times, and as soon as she stood firm, Si Ren flew in and kicked Li Mingyue far away.

Several other people swarmed up and hugged Si Rentuan, who was laughing, Si Ren was strong, and shook it left and right a few times, throwing these scoundrels away one by one, and laughing again.

Seeing Li Mingyue smashing over with a bench, Si Ren stepped forward and swung his fist to meet him, beating the bench to pieces. picked up Li Mingyue and threw him to the ground, stepped on his stomach and scolded: "Still laughing at me?" Li Mingyue, who was trampled underfoot, struggled and shouted anxiously: "Quick, quick, please ask for a machete in the capital." ”

The so-called "machete" is not a machete, but it is fierce like a machete, which is the nickname of Li Mingyue's cousin, Mo Huai, the overlord of Qinghe in Beijing. Mo Huai's family has a lot of land, but he doesn't work for crops, he loves to be vicious, just because he is used to using machetes and is vicious, so his friends on the road gave him the nickname of "Beijing machete".

Mo Huai's sworn brother Mo Sha is the overlord of Daxing in the south of Beijing, and the two brothers echo each other in the south and north outside the capital, and no one knows about the rivers and lakes. Today, Mo Huai came to the city to talk about ivory and rhinoceros horn business with Shandong merchant Amen, and after the business was negotiated, Mo Huai invited Amen Restaurant to drink, and instructed his cousin Li Mingyue and others to wait downstairs.

Mo Huai was boasting about his power in front of Amen, and proudly said that no one dared to provoke him inside and outside the capital, but suddenly a little brother came and announced: "Big brother, Brother Mingyue and all the brothers have been beaten. When Mo Huai heard this, he felt quite embarrassed, and couldn't help but be angry, and asked, "Who is so bold that he dares to go against my capital machete?" The younger brother said: "A hillbilly from nowhere, with great strength, injured me and others." When Mo Huai heard that the other party was only one person, and he was a hillbilly, he felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said to Amen: "Mr. is here for a while, let me go and clean up the hillbilly first, it won't take long, a stick of incense is enough." Amen said: "Mo Haohan go and return quickly." ”

When Mo Huai rushed to the gambling house, he was bumping into Si Ren slapping Li Mingyue's face, not only was he angry, he shouted "look for death", and pounced towards Si Ren, Si Ren heard the shout, let go of Li Mingyue and turned back to fight Mo Huai. Mo Huai's physique is not as good as Si Ren, but his movements are agile and his methods are vicious, and he and Si Ren can be regarded as chess opponents, plus Li Mingyue and others also beat Si Ren, even though Si Ren is strong and brave, but after all, he was outnumbered, and he was pressed to the ground by everyone in a few strokes.

Mo Huai stomped on Si Ren's head with his foot and scolded: "Where did the wild bird man dare to beat my brother, the master trampled you to death." Mo Huai boasted in front of Amen and promised to return within the time of a stick of incense, so he was afraid of delaying too long to make Amen laugh, but since he had stepped on Si Ren and had a bad anger in his heart, he let go and shouted: "Wild bird man, do you know who I am?" Remember, I'm the capital machete Mo Huai. ”

After beating Siren, Mo Huai looked back at Li Mingyue again, saw that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he scolded angrily: "It's a shame." With that, he left the gambling house in a rage and went back to accompany Amen.

After Mo Huai left, Li Mingyue and the others were still angry, and punched and kicked Si Ren who was curled on the ground, pointing at Si Ren and scolding: "Lao Tzu didn't bring a knife today, otherwise I would have picked your hamstrings." ”

Li Mingyue took the brothers away, Si Ren struggled to get up, limped back to the door of the hotel, and was about to go in, when he heard the sound of laughter in the distance, and looked back, it turned out that Li Mingyue and others were actually in the opposite restaurant, looking at Si Ren's embarrassed appearance, Li Mingyue and everyone were laughing happily.

Great, I'm worried that I have nowhere to look for you, and I'm not complacent, waiting for me to take a knife to hack you "capital machetes" to death. Si Ren suddenly came to his senses, endured the pain, and quickly stepped into the hotel to look for the saber, eager for revenge.

After hearing this, Alatai guessed that these people had no background in the imperial court, so he put his mind at ease and asked, "How many people are there in total, and they don't bring any weapons?" Siren said, "Seven or eight, empty-handed." Ala Tai said: "The Han people pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, they are empty-handed, we go with knives, we will be laughed at, go, they win you with their fists, and the eldest brother will also use his fists to win back for you." ”

Allah strode out too much, Si Ren was overjoyed, and dragged away, and Shi'an saw that the two of them were gone, so he had to follow out.

"The hillbilly can even afford to live in a hotel," Li Mingyue was laughing when Alatai, Siren, and Hong Shi'an had already left the hotel and walked towards them. Seeing that there were only three people on the other side, and there was no sword, Li Mingyue was not afraid, and also led the five people to greet him proudly.

Siren was about to rush forward, but was grabbed by Alatai.

Allah asked coldly, "Which of you is the 'capital machete'?" Li Mingyue still didn't care about these hillbillies: "Just because the three of you are still qualified to see the 'Capital Machete'?" Crawl under Grandpa's crotch first. ”

Alatai said: "You six little ghosts have remembered for me, from now on, there will be three demon kings in the capital, that is, the three of us, you little ghosts will kneel when you see the demon king, do you hear clearly?" ”

Li Mingyue laughed heartily, and several other people also laughed wildly, in Li Mingyue's eyes, these hillbillies were really ridiculous.

Li Mingyue and the others only laughed, but forgot that this was a battlefield, not watching a play in the Goolan Courtyard, and if they were not serious on the battlefield, they would have to pay the price of blood.

The six of them were laughing happily, Alatai rushed over like a cow, the six were knocked down four at once, and although the other two dodged, they were knocked down by Alatai with a punch on the left and right, Si Ren immediately followed up, stomped on Li Mingyue's head, and asked while stepping on it: "Where did the 'capital machete' go just now?" Call him out. ”

The other people stood up and were easily put down by Alatai, these little gangsters usually bully the honest and faithful people, and when they encounter Alatai and Siren, they are as powerless as sheep and wolves.

The ghost crying wolf howl downstairs attracted many onlookers, and also alarmed Mo Huai and Amen, who were drinking upstairs.

After Mo Huai returned to the restaurant, he bragged in front of Amen, but unfortunately just after the blowing, his brothers were beaten up again, Mo Huai was furious, and said to Amen: "Today is really a joke for Mr., Mr. will go back to the hotel to rest first, and then I will make amends to Mr. after I have cleaned up these wild bird people." Amen smiled: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, I'll go back first, and it's not too late to talk about business matters another day." ”

"I'm the 'Capital Machete', who are the two of you?" After sending Amen away, Mo Huai came to the outside of the restaurant, and asked Ala Tai and Si Ren with a gloomy and polite face.

Seeing Mo Huai, Si Ren instinctively wanted to rush over and fight, but was stopped by Ala Tai again. Ala Tai came to Mo Huai, looked up and down, and sneered: "You insult my brother, I came to you to fight alone, do you dare?" ”

Mo Huai is very confident in his combat power, and since his debut, he has singled out more than 20 heroes in the rivers and lakes, except for one who tied with him, and all the others fell at his feet.

"Okay, you won, you have a bowl of rice in the capital. If you lose, hurry back to your hometown and farm," Mo Huai pointed at Alatai and said with a sneer.

The streets of Beijing are very wide, the hutongs are very small, and the battle between Ala Tai and Mo Huai was chosen in a small alley, Mo Huai's brothers were at the east end of the alley, Siren and Shi'an were at the west end of the alley, and Ala Tai and Mo Huai were in the middle.

Compared with height and strength, the Han people are not as good as the Mongols and Manchus, but they are more agile and skillful, and the Han people are a step higher than the Mongols and Manchus. Mo Huai has been rampant in the capital for many years, experienced in a hundred battles, and has outstanding martial arts, although Ala is too powerful, but it is really not easy to subdue Mo Huai quickly. The two of them were fists and feet in the alley, flying to the sky, and they were dazzled by everyone, Li Mingyue was worried, and Siren and Shi'an were also like fire. The two fought for a long time, and Mo Huai, who was known as the "Beijing machete", gradually lacked strength, after all, his specialty was to use machetes, and he couldn't beat the grassland lion in hand-to-hand combat.

After the lack of strength, I can't help but panic, I can't help but fist chaos when I panic, there must be a flaw in the fist chaos, Mo Huai was caught by Alatai and punched in the head, and when he was shaking, he was rushed up by Alatai to stop him and picked him up and fell to the ground.

In master battles, once you fall to the ground, it is not easy to get up again. Mo Huai tried to get up several times, but was kicked down by Alatai. After repeating this several times, Alatai saw that Mo Huai was exhausted, squatted down and pressed his neck with his left hand, his knee against his chest, and his right fist rained down on Mo Huai.

After enough fighting, Alatai raised his head and shouted at Li Mingyue, "Come here." ”

Li Mingyue was so frightened that she trembled, Si Ren strode over and grabbed Li Mingyue, pulled him to Mo Huai's side, forcibly held him down and shouted, "Say it quickly, how did my eldest brother teach you just now." ”

Li Mingyue said tremblingly: "Brother, there are three demon kings in the capital, it is the three of them, in the future, we little ghosts will kneel when we see the demon king." ”

Si Ren let go of Li Mingyue, pinched Mo Huai's face and asked, "Did you hear clearly?" Then he slapped Mo Huai a few times, and hit the "Beijing machete" with gold stars in his eyes and nosebleeds.

Ala Tai accepted it when he saw it, and pulled Siren and Shi'an, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, to leave the alley, and Ala Tai said: "Let's go back to the hotel to pack the package." ”

Si Renwei asked, "Why?" ”

Alatai said: "People are the head snakes of the land, and sooner or later they will come to seek revenge." ”

Si Ren said angrily: "I'm afraid of a bird, it's better to come." ”

Ala Tai said: "The capital is other people's territory, and it is better for us to make enemies as little as possible." ”

Shi'an said: "The eldest brother is right, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, and it is best for us to move away." ”

Ala Tai thought about Mo Huai and was brave, and thought that he was one of the best heroes in the capital, so he often inquired about this person intentionally or unintentionally, and learned that he also had a powerful sworn brother Mo Sha, each of whom had more than 100 brothers, calling for wind and rain inside and outside the capital, and few people dared to provoke. What's even more terrifying is that Mo Sha used to be Jinyiwei Fanzhi, and he has a lot of connections with Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and after learning about this situation, Alla became faintly uneasy.

Sure enough, Mo Huai was beaten, and felt ashamed and humiliated, and since then he has carried the machete with him, and informed his brother Mo Sha, who strictly ordered his younger brothers to inquire about the whereabouts of the three demons inside and outside Beijing, and vowed to hate.

On this day, Ala Tai, Si Ren, and Shi'an went to Desheng Gate to play, and then turned to Jishuitan, and stopped at the Silver Ingot Bridge after going around the lake, Si Ren shouted that he was tired, and sat on the stone bench and refused to get up. Shi'an said: "Big brother, there is a temple in front, I will go to worship the Buddha, you and the second brother will wait for me here for a while." ”

Alatai knew that Shi'an had stayed in the Shaolin Temple and had a special attachment to the temple, so he said, "Let's go together." ”

When Si Ren heard that he was going to enter the temple, he was unhappy in his heart, and shouted: "What is so beautiful about a broken temple, if you don't go, you won't go." ”

Alatai smiled and said, "Brother, you have forgotten again, the minority obeys the majority. Si Ren had no choice but to follow the two.

When I arrived at the door, I saw three big characters on the door: "Guanghua Temple". Guanghua Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty, after three or four hundred years, it is regarded as an ancient temple, there are many monks in the temple, pilgrims are like clouds, only outside the temple there are twenty or thirty beggars who beg for good men and women. Shi'an walked in and knelt down one by one in the Mountain Gate Hall, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Hall and other places, while Ala Tai and Siren followed behind to watch the excitement.

Shi'an kept walking inside, came to the Scripture Pavilion, and when he looked back, he didn't see Alatai and Siren, so he toured around the Scripture Pavilion alone. After a while, he suddenly heard a noise outside, and Shi'an didn't care, for Shi'an, worldly things are the smoke of the past, but the silence in the temple is precious. Coming out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Shi'an went to the two halls to pay homage, and then reluctantly left.

Stepping out of the temple, there was still no figure of Ala Tai and Si Ren, Shi'an secretly thought, maybe the eldest brother and the second brother are still in the temple, and there are many pilgrims in the temple, so I haven't seen it, so I will wait for the two of them at the door.

Shi'an waited for a long time and didn't see the two of them, and was wondering, when an eleven or twelve-year-old child came to Shi'an and said, "Big brother, is your name Hong Shi'an?" Shi'an said, "Yes, how do you know my name?" The boy said, "Two people in front of me gave me ten cents and asked me to call you over." Shi'an looked in the direction of the boy's finger, only to see Alatai waving over a hundred paces away, Shi'an thanked the boy and hurried over.

It turned out that when Shi'an entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Ala Tai was wandering around the halls on the left outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and Siren was looking around on the right side, and a pilgrim accidentally touched the lit incense candle on Siren's sleeve, burning a hole in the sleeve, and the pilgrim apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Si Ren smiled: "It's not in the way, it's cool to have a hole." The pilgrim said: "The eldest brother said that he laughed, he damaged the eldest brother's clothes, and he should be compensated, I don't know how much the eldest brother's clothes are worth, and when he went out today, he brought 100 yuan, and bought 70 yuan of incense, paper, and fruits, and now there are 30 yuan, I don't know if it is enough?" ”

Si Renqi said: "What is this bullshit wooden man capable of, and he can't bless your whole family to avoid disasters, why spend seventy yuan for him?" Si Ren's voice was loud, and all the pilgrims who were burning incense and worshiping the Buddha could hear it clearly, and everyone was shocked, and accused Si Ren one by one: "You are not allowed to be presumptuous in the Buddha Gate!" "You slander the Buddha with evil words, and you will be punished!" "This man is so rude, he must be the reincarnation of the devil!"

Seeing that so many people accused him for no reason, Si Ren was immediately furious and shouted: "Lao Tzu is the devil, see the Buddha **, what do you care?" It happened that an old monk was walking beside Si Ren, and Si Ren pushed it, and the old monk stumbled and fell.

Everyone hurriedly helped the old monk up, and when they saw that Si Ren was so arrogant, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they all said: "Even the living Buddha is beaten, it must be a demon, and we will work together to capture him." Saying that, he rushed up to capture Si Ren, Si Ren was furious, and simply didn't do anything, exerting force left and right, throwing down several people, and seeing that the old monk was persuading everyone not to use force, Si Ren rushed up and grabbed the old monk is punch, the old monk could withstand this blow, and took seven or eight steps back, but fortunately five or six pilgrims held on to not fall. Siren still wanted to be violent, not wanting to be forcibly pulled out of the temple gate by Ala Tailian, although the pilgrims behind him scolded and scolded, but no one chased after him. The two did not dare to stay outside the temple gate for a long time, let alone go back to find Shi'an, so they had to hide far away and wait.
