The sky was dreary and rainy, the sun was setting without sun, and the people lit up the lamps early to rest. Han Yan came to the backyard of the martial arts hall, it was empty, with a wide field of vision, outside the courtyard was the Luo River, and on the opposite side was the lights of thousands of homes under the rain curtain and smoke, with soft fluorescent stars, as if they were not extinguishing the lights.

The door of the West House was wide open, and the screams were mixed with the man's aggrieved whimper, Han Yan was stunned as soon as he entered the door, only to feel that it was ridiculous, and the Confucian who was arrogant just now was terrified, and curled up in the corner, crying and begging for mercy like a mother.

Han Erdan just scared him with a whip, and this girl wet her crotch...... Guess that's the nature of a rotten man.

In fact, Han Yan thinks that this Confucian is a talent, although he is very sassy and can pretend to be forced, but few people can guess the riddle in front of the door, and he also designed a charlatan trick according to local conditions, and used other people's fields to make money, which is also somewhat capable, not as frightened as he was at this time.

What's more important is that this guy has understanding, Han Yan can be sure that before he came to the martial arts hall, he just wanted to cheat money and spend money, but after gambling and sitting in the bank, he quickly realized the trick of underground black boxing, as long as someone fights, I can make a fortune. Out of this door, open another martial arts gym according to the cat and the tiger, and even keep boxers in captivity, completely secretly controlling the victory and defeat......

"Okay, don't howl, I'll chop you up and feed it to the dog." Han Yan was a little annoyed by his crying, disturbing the neighbors, and people were upset when they heard it.

The Confucian student, who was still crying hard in the last second, stopped abruptly in the next second, and looked directly at Han Yan with Danfeng eyes and grievances, with a sissy posture, as if he had been greatly wronged.

With a chill in his heart, Han Yan stopped Feng and Ah Da from beating those two rangers, they were already angry and less angry, and if they beat again, they would die, and finally looked at Confucian Sheng and asked: "I have no enmity with you, I have no grudges, I have never met in person, why did you come to me to cheat?" ”

Without waiting for an answer, Han Yan continued: "I see that you are gorgeously dressed, with a jade belt around your waist and embroidered lotus flowers, which is obviously a customized costume, and this outfit alone is worth ten thousand dollars, so do you need to come out to cheat?" And you, a Confucian crown, think that you are also a child who advocates Confucianism, and you don't study the Jinglun theory well, but you come out to do things that are not good? ”

Confucian Sheng glanced at the two rangers who were almost half dead in the opposite corner, pretended to be calm, and felt concerned, and plucked up the courage to say, "I didn't lie to ......."

"Then how did you press the two of them to a draw?"

"Feeling."

"Feelings?" Han Yan raised his eyebrows, took the whip from Han Erdan's hand, and waved it in the air, pia~ made the ground dusty, the floor shook, and said with a smile: "Do you think I will pull you out of your brain, and then find a big stone to tie you and throw it into the Luohe River to sink the corpse?" ”

"......" Confucian swallowed deeply, and glanced at Han Yan's lips with two beards, obviously a vigorous young man wants to pretend to be old and funny, dressed up like this, there must be an ulterior secret, then he will be in danger. You...... What do you want to do? ”

"State your purpose."

"I just heard that there is a martial arts hall in the old alley in the south of the city, there is a martial arts venue, there are often fights, and you can eat and drink for free, so I have nothing to do to join in the fun...... Confucian explained embarrassedly and aggrievedly: "There is nothing else." ”

"I think you are either rich or expensive, you should be a famous son of Luoyang City, what is your surname?" Han Yan has almost figured it out, this guy belongs to the kind of cynical rich kid, arrogant, he didn't come to the martial arts hall to cheat money, but to show off his IQ and sense of superiority and achievement, he likes to see the envious and jealous expressions of others, and likes to pretend to listen to compliments, so as to add a little fun to life, so as not to be bored. Just like when you just crossed over, you always have to find something to do.

"My surname is Bai." Glancing at the whip in Han Yan's hand, Confucian replied honestly: "Bai Ziqing." ”

"Bai Ziqing?" The eldest brother was all stunned, "Bai Ziqing, the third son of the grain merchant Bai family? ”

"You know me, that's fine, let me go quickly......" Bai Ziqing smiled at Brother Chong, got up and was about to walk out the door, but was glared at by Han Erdan's tiger eyes, and was so frightened that he hurriedly returned to the corner.

"The Bai family?" Han Yan frowned, in the past month in Luoyang, he had heard a lot about the Bai family.

After decades of development, the current Han Dynasty pursued the rule of inaction, and the imperial court did not supervise, so it led to a boom in commerce, and many wealthy people colluded with princes with money and trade, kept children in captivity, bought slaves, formed private armies, and even exceeded the local government, forming a large number of powerful and famous families.

Among them, the grain merchants are the most bullish, hoarding grain, buying low and selling high, manipulating grain prices, controlling donations, and relying on them to have many forces, so that even if there is a famine in some places, Taishou has to ask people if he wants to provide disaster relief.

The ancestor of the Bai family is Bai Gui in the Warring States Period, known as "Shang Zu", and the master is Guiguzi, and the real teacher is famous.

Luoyang can be regarded as the center of the world's commerce, among which the Bai family dominates in terms of food, business all over the north and south of the river, with 2,000 slaves, dozens of carts, and the princes of the Han Dynasty, the local gate valve forces are more than to deal with it, and the power can be imagined.

The patriarch of the Bai family of this generation has three sons, all of whom are wonderful.

The boss is an angry young man, who wants to make meritorious contributions wholeheartedly, regardless of the opposition and dissuasion of his family, and quietly joined the army as a son of a good family, and Li Guang also joined the army with a good family, but he did not have Li Guang's talent and talent for fighting, and died at the border pass for no reason, and it is said that he was killed by the Huns who cut off his head and pulled off his crotch.

The second Bai Zilan is so fond of doing business, he has inherited his father's business, but he is a sissy fetish, he does not marry a wife at the age of thirty, shares a bed with his mother every three or five times, and refuses to contact any woman other than his mother, resulting in his subordinates being all gentlemen, not even a maidservant.

The third child is the white son in front of him, sissy, dressed in a very angry manner, Danfeng eyes are like peach blossoms, an authentic stubborn master, who does not do his job all day long, cheats and cheats, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, plays whatever is interesting, and has a big stumbling. But he never bullied others, nor did he harm women from good families, and he was not a righteous man, but there was nothing wrong with him.

This time, I must have heard that a martial arts hall had opened in the old alley, and I came here to see it...... It's just that this method of insight is very peculiar, but the means are not very clever, and the game is too obvious, and it looks like a tie that has been negotiated in advance.

figured out Bai Ziqing's details, but Han Yan was embarrassed.

There are many rangers who have seen this girl today, if this guy is lowered into the soil and sunk into the river, he can always find out here, with the manpower of the two jujubes in his martial arts hall, how can he be the opponent of the Bai family?

But how can you be willing to let go of this guy for nothing?

The night outside the door is getting thicker, the sun can't stand the tempering of time and falls into the valley, the last remaining light is gone, the day changes, the sun and the moon are reincarnated, the rain curtain like fog and smoke slowly falls from the eaves, the wind blows the candlelight in the house swaying, and the figures on the wall are also shaken.

Seeing Han Yan's hesitation, Bai Ziqing thought that his background scared him, but he was very wise and did not pretend to be forced anymore, but said in a low voice: "I have a lot of money, all for you, let me go, okay?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of gold pills from the middle of his collar, held it in his hand and smiled flatteringly.

"I'm not short of money, not to mention that I am a person in this life, my temper can't be weak, and I can't lose my character." Han Yan glanced at the handful of golden pills with disdain, and said, "Since you have broken my rules here, you will be punished, first return the five hundred yuan to me, and then wash dishes and do chores in the martial arts hall for three months, and redeem yourself with labor." ”

"Washing dishes?" Bai Ziqing glared, unbelievable, my dignified third son of the Bai family, who grew up with a golden key, saw that the princes' heirs were not weak, and the people who came and went were all princes and nobles, and they went to do those despicable jobs, and they laughed to death when they were passed on.

"Do you have an opinion?" Han Yan asked, "Don't think about letting you go for nothing, you say, how should I punish you?" ”

"......" Bai Ziqing thought for a long time, and finally exhaled helplessly, like a deflated ball, as if brushing the dishes and washing the dishes was the easiest and most benevolent punishment, and he replied: "Okay......"

Han Yan nodded.

After packing him up, he looked back at the two half-dead rangers, deliberately shocked Bai Ziqing, and said coldly: "Take it out for me and throw it at the mouth of the alley, if anyone dares to come to the martial arts hall to cheat, this will be the end." ”

"Whoa." Big Brother and Pig carried the hands and feet of the two rangers and went out.

Bai Ziqing shuddered, and his heart was concerned.

Outside the window, the remnants of flowers fell to the ground, the sound of a hundred miles of sand, the waves of the Luohe River, a flash of lightning, the sky was torn, a miserable white, followed by a string of muffled thunder, and the rain was even heavier.

……

In October, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty ordered the revocation of the rule that the princes must go to the feudal country.

When people are old, they always want their children to be around, and the emperor is the same, after his birthday, almost none of his thirteen sons left Chang'an, and he stayed by Emperor Jing's side every once in a while, and the prince's long-term stay in Chang'an did not conform to the rules set by his ancestors, and the emperor simply ordered to change his mother's.

And Han Yan has been in Luoyang for two months, and the paper matter is still at a loss, and the Ling family is still making a fortune, until according to Meng's wanted warrant, the rumors gradually faded away, and the rangers no longer talk about this matter, but only become a topic of conversation during tea and dinner.

Han Yan originally wanted to talk to the master family after becoming famous, but this thing really can't be accumulated in a short period of time, even if the martial arts hall has become a place that everyone in the Luoyang ranger group knows, but it is still rarely heard of among the people.

The cause of underground black boxing has improved a little, the eldest brother has been in Luoyang for many years, well-informed, and will always know some poor people whose lives are unsustainable, the old father and mother have to support, and they have to pay the sum every year, the family has no good land, life is difficult, and a fight in the ring will give you 200 yuan, do you want to go? This kind of person will probably consider whether to fight or not when they are not in a hurry.

If they encounter a serious illness in their family, they urgently need money, or they can't pay the poll tax, and they are about to be beaten as official slaves, and they come to the martial arts hall to fight in the ring to earn money, but it gives them a way out of life, and they will come without thinking about it, and even think it is incredible, fighting to earn money - such a good thing?

And the martial arts hall also responded to the sentence "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps", and others are not allowed to gamble and sit in the village, but he became a banker, and he made a big deal and opened a village, which made Bai Ziqing only red-eyed.
