This county seat is really weird......

Standing on the streets of Yangxia County, Zhao Hongrun looked at the street with surprised eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the street facing us, there were many pedestrians, farmers with hoes and bare feet, women with children, but most of all, men who seemed to have nothing to do.

The men who seemed to have nothing to do were in groups of two or three with each other, and they didn't know how to match the clothes on their bodies, one dark and the other light, which made people look very uncomfortable.

In fact, some clothes are tattered and stained, as if they have not been washed for several years.

The only thing they have in common is that these seemingly idly idle men are all armed with weapons.

Ranger......

Zhao Hongrun even guessed the identities of these people.

may have noticed Zhao Hongrun's gaze at them, and among the several rangers who came on, one of the rangers with a grass stalk in his mouth also turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun and his party with his eyes.

I saw that in the eyes of this ranger, Zhao Hongrun and his party, including Chen Xiao, a total of thirteen people, although they seemed to be dressed as civilians, but with sharp eyes, he could still faintly see the outline of the weapon from the package behind the other party.

"What are you looking at?"

The ranger said to Zhao Hongrun in an unkind tone.

"What do you want?"

Zong Wei, who was dressed as a civilian, kicked his eyes high.

"......" The rangers flashed a hint of hesitation, sighed softly, and left with his companions.

It may be that he and his companions are only four people, but Zhao Hongrun's side has a relationship with the Zongwei and Chen Xiao's eleven tall people.

Seeing this, Gao Kuo turned his head and whispered to Zhao Hongrun: "Childe, when you encounter this kind of ruffian, you must not show weakness, otherwise, they will think that we are easy to bully." ”

Obviously, he was explaining the reason why Fang just scolded the other party.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun also knew this truth, but he still couldn't help but ridicule Gao Kuo: "It seems that you have a lot of experience in this area." ”

In the snickering of Zhong Zongwei, Gao Kuo explained with some embarrassment: "Isn't this when I was in Daliang, I dealt with some ruffians in the city......

Not to mention, among the sect guards, only Gao Kuo has the widest range of social contacts, because he is mainly responsible for finding out news for Zhao Hongrun, for this reason, he has made friends with a group of ruffians in Daliang City, and from time to time invites those people to drink and eat, or directly give those people some wine money, so that he can get some gossip regularly.

And in the process of contacting those ruffians, Gao Kuo naturally recognized that most of these people were bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and naturally knew how to deal with such people.

After teasing a few words, Zhao Hongrun said to Gao Kuo: "Gao Kuo, I want to find someone to ask about the situation in this county, what advice do you have?" ”

"It's finally time for me to do what I can." In the laughter of the Zongwei, Gao Kuo made a joke as if laughing at himself, and then said to Zhao Hongrun: "Childe, most people will think that places like wine shops and taverns are the best places to find out the news, but in fact, to find out the local news, wine shops and taverns are not the best places to go. ”

"Is that so?" Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise, after all, he used to think that the tavern was a good place to find out the news, but he didn't expect Gao Kuo to veto the matter.

"Yes, Childe, if you want to inquire about the local situation, the best way is to ask the local ruffians directly." Gao Kuo said seriously: "The ruffian is also a profession to earn a living...... Mu Qing, don't laugh. ”

Gao Kuo glanced at the laughing Zongwei angrily, and then said to Zhao Hongrun: "Childe may not know that it is not easy to be a ruffian, not that he is aggressive and ruthless, even if he is a ruffian, this industry also has the rules of this industry. …… For example, the few rangers who stared at us just now, they are not local ruffians, at best, they are a few outsiders who have come here to make a living, and with an attitude like theirs, they will be killed sooner or later. ”

Zhao Hongrun listened very mysteriously, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of person is that ruffian?" ”

"Childe, wait a minute." Gao Kuo looked around, and suddenly, he saw several men dressed as civilians squatting in the alley not far away, all of them looked quite ordinary, and even a little kind, not like the rangers just now, but their thief eyes were looking at the passers-by on the street from time to time.

"Whoa." Gao Gu nodded at the men, and then took the lead.

At this time, the ruffians who Gao Kuo said also noticed Zhao Hongrun and his party, and greeted them with a smile on their faces, and the tall thin man said even more enthusiastically: "How many of them are from his county, right?" Where do you want to go? It's not that I'm boasting, I know everything about this county. ”

Seeing this, Gao Kuo snorted lightly and said to Zhao Hongrun casually: "Childe, we are treated as fat sheep." If we follow them at this time, they will take us to a deserted and remote corner, and then call a large group of people to rob us of our belongings. ”

The tall thin man's face changed slightly when he heard this, and several people around him showed even more vigilance.

At this time, Gao Kuo threw a large ingot of silver that he had prepared to the tall emaciated man, and then said to the latter in a low tone: "This brother, my son-in-law wants to stay in Yangxia for a while, but there are many things that he doesn't know about this county, if you serve him well, there will be a heavy reward afterwards, but if you dare to get me some tricks, I will be the first to kill you at that time." ”

Gao Kuo has killed people, so when he said this, there was a faint murderous aura that Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand.

The tall thin man glanced at Gao Kuo deeply, slowly put away the enthusiastic smile on his face, replaced it with a relaxed smile, and said with a smile: "It's really out of sight today, I didn't expect you to be familiar with this, brother...... Hey, it's a chore. ”

Gao Kuo smiled when he heard this: "You serve my son-in-law, keep the best wine and food for you these days, and you still have silver to get afterwards, smooth and stable, what kind of drudgery is this?" As long as you do a good job, the reward you will give may not be less than if you robbed the fat sheep. ”

The tall thin man licked his lips when he heard this, threw the silver ingot in his hand to the people under his hand, and hugged his fist at Gao Kuo: "Familiar people, they all call me Lu San, what do you call my brother?" What is this son's name? ”

"Gao Gao." Gao Kuo hugged his fists, and then introduced Zhao Hongrun: "Just call Su Gongzi, don't ask anything else." I will make money hire you, and you will take the silver, so that I will have less encounters with right and wrong, this is the rule. ”

"Brother Gao is really an insider." The tall man Lu San smiled, then bowed to Zhao Hongrun and asked, "Where do you want to go first?" ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Gao Kuo, who understood, and replied on his behalf: "Take a stroll around the city first, and then find a better tavern to eat." ”

"Good, good." Lu San nodded again and again, after all, as Gao Kuo said, what is there to be unhappy about eating a meal for nothing.

Because of Gao Kuo's previous warning, Lu San and the others did not take Zhao Hongrun down the alley, but walked straight on the street.

Along the way, Zhao Hongrun really saw some scholars' halls, the doors of the pavilions were wide open, and there were tables and chairs inside, and there were many rangers eating, drinking, chatting and laughing.

However, what made Zhao Hongrun wonder was that these pavilions did not seem to be opened by the same owner, although the plaque was not clearly indicated, but the patterns on the plaque were different.

"In Yangxia County, what kind of taxi hall is like this?" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but ask.

Lu San was stunned, looked at Zhao Hongrun with a hesitant expression, and said in a low voice: "Su Gongzi, for your good, this Gongzi still don't ask." ”

Hearing this, Gao Kuo reminded in a low voice: "Lu San, we spent money to hire you, what my son-in-law asks, what do you answer." ”

Lu San hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "If Childe must want to know, then let's go for a while, this is not the place to talk." ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded and followed Lu San forward for a while.

At this time, Lu San said in a low voice: "I am Yangxia, there are indeed many scholar halls, that is where the rangers earn bounties, my Guan Gongzi is not short of money, that kind of place is best to avoid." ”

As he was talking, he saw that in the Shiguan not far in front, a ranger was beaten out of the hall with a bang, and the nearby pedestrians suddenly stopped.

And after that, I saw a few strong men with five big and three thick men walking out of the pavilion, and scolded the ranger who fell to the ground: "Son of a bitch, let us see you again, it's not just like this." ”

With that, several strong men threw some bits and pieces, such as burdens and weapons, towards the ranger, and then walked back to the Scholar Hall.

I saw the ranger who fell to the ground struggling to his feet, cursed in a low voice, and limped away.

And on the street, those local civilians who stopped to watch seemed to be commonplace about this, and after two glances, they stopped watching.

"Isn't the Shikan a place to contain rangers?"

Zhao Hongrun turned his head and asked Lu Sandao, "Why was that man kicked out?" ”

Hearing this, Lu San glanced at Zhao Hongrun thoughtfully, and then explained in a low voice: "The Shiguan is indeed a place to contain rangers, but the Shiguan is not a righteous house after all. …… It seems that the ranger must have cheated on food and drink in this academy, and owed a lot of money for wine and food, but he didn't make money, so he was kicked out. ”

"I see." Zhao Hongrun nodded abruptly, and then asked, "These rangers, how do they make money?" ”

Lu San frowned, but still explained: "In this kind of Shiguan, some bounties will be issued......

Reward......

Zhao Hongrun's eyes narrowed, and he said with a chuckle: "Let's go, go in and take a look." ”

Hearing this, Lu San finally changed color, frowned and persuaded: "This Su Gongzi, listen to the next persuasion, it is not a good place to go." ”

It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun has made up his mind, how can it be easily changed, and immediately said: "You just stay outside, Shen Yu, Gao Kuo, let's go in and take a look." ”

With that, Zhao Hongrun walked towards the Shiguan.

The guards and Chen Xiao were naturally not afraid, and immediately followed behind Zhao Hongrun and walked into the pavilion. (To be continued.) )
