Chapter 223: The Prototype of the Money Gang
....... little demon stood on the small square, and when the old man stood in the dark of the city wall and looked at it, he suddenly felt an invisible pressure coming, irresistible, unable to move, unable to speak, unable to hear.
There was silence all around, and everything seemed to slow down, like the slow motion in that world movie: the hustle and bustle suddenly disappeared, and the left hand of the storyteller on the stage slowly lowered inch by inch in the air.......
The tips of the girl's hair fluttered back little by little in front of her forehead, and the obscene middle-aged man on the side peeked at the neck of the girl next to her did not retract it for a long time.
A thief, holding the wallet in the pocket of the little official in front of him with two fingers, this is a skilled job he has done for an unknown number of times, but this time he has seen a ghost.
This hand, it couldn't retract it, it was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his soul was out......
A young woman who was held by her husband was secretly making out with the handsome scholar next to her, and one paw quickly pinched the scholar's arm, but this hand was like suddenly stained with glue, and it couldn't be taken back anyway.
This made her panic, and her shallow smile stiffened for a moment, and her face was flushed with anxiety.
...... Even time seemed to have stood still, and the demeanor of everyone in the square suddenly became extremely clear, as if it was still, and it was difficult for any ghost domain trick to be hidden.
After a few breaths, the little demon suddenly felt his whole body loosen, the air suddenly circulated, the pressure disappeared out of thin air, and all the noise poured into his ears again.
It's like a suffocating fish that suddenly enters the water and suddenly comes back to life...... The storyteller had already raised his right hand, and the girl's hair remained unmoved, as if the ends of her hair had never moved.
The middle-aged man on the side was holding his wife's hand tenderly, how could he have peeked at the strange girl on the side?
The astonished thief hurriedly shoved his wallet back gently, as if he had just put it out with two fingers, and did not dare to look at it again, and pretended to leave as if nothing had happened.
The woman who secretly pinched the scholar's arm calmly brushed the messy hair on her forehead, shook her hand regretfully, and looked at her husband who had worked hard to support the family with apologetic eyes......
The little demon was drenched in cold sweat, and his face was full of shock! Who is this, what realm is this, how could there be such a peerless master in Nan this day?
Raising his eyes, he saw: on the corner of the street, an old woman selling oil poop.
It won't be her, although her magic has reached the middle three realms, which is really not to be underestimated, but she may not have such ability;
Beside the road, a blind fortune teller. It's not him, he's at most empty;
In the crowd, a few wandering gangsters. What's more, these people are just the most condensed veins, and most of them are plainclothes in this city......
The little demon clenched his hands, feeling as if he had experienced life and death, his heart palpitated, and his body was cold.
A faint sense of inspiration prompted him to look at the wall, but there was nothing but two little boys, holding hands and stepping down the wall.
The wolf-like sense of smell made him feel that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly led the horse into Mingzhou.
After walking a hundred and ten steps, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around, looking back, where was the old woman who sold oil and poop? Where was there a blind fortune teller?
Uncle, this little Mingzhou, is it killing every step! Who am I trying to provoke?
Along a wide street, the little demon was half-asleep and half-awake, slowly moving forward with the flow of people, wondering in his heart.
After walking for about half an hour, a woman in the crowd grabbed a lewd man and scolded: "You nest."
What else can you do besides peeking at Widow Li taking a bath?"
"Don't you know that the family will soon be unable to open the pot, and you are still only thinking about gambling money?"
...... The woman was about to be angry, not only with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but also with a loud voice, the little demon was taken aback, and suddenly woke up. patted his head, looked up, and never thought about it, but the corner of his eye swept away a gold-lettered signboard: Laishun Restaurant.
Come to Shun Restaurant......? Take a closer look, there is a small osprey in the lower right corner of the golden signboard, is it the symbol of the Fish and Shrimp Gang?
I was suddenly stunned in my heart: This Li Xiaoyu, who follows Tang Wuya all day long, when did he expand the restaurant's business to Mingzhou?
Before coming to the restaurant, a guy in a small second suit saw his flat head and face, and led a horse with a very good color, and yelled at the lobby first: "A guest!"
Then he warmly stepped forward to greet him: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat......?"
The little demon was a little impatient, interrupted Xiao Er's ramblings, and said, "I want to eat your shopkeeper's." ”
Xiao Er greeted him with a smile and habitually shouted at the lobby: "One of the VIPs, you want to eat our palm ......"
"What?" Xiao Er stopped suddenly, suddenly understood, and looked at the little boy in front of him in surprise, full of doubts: Although my shopkeeper is quite good-looking, he is in his early thirties, how can he eat?
It turned out to be a troublemaker, your sister's! Xiao Er opened his eyes and began to pull up his cuffs, opening his teeth and dancing his claws, about to have a seizure.
But the shopkeeper was already standing in front of the door.
Her big eyes were full of surprise, she covered her lips to prevent her from screaming, and she was deeply blessed, and said, "Little uncle, you can come, please come in." ”
But who is it not Fukuhara Wan?
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment: Uncle Shi, hey, my shopkeeper, where did such a young uncle come from? No, could he be the legendary ......? !
Is he actually here, then, don't say that he just wants to eat my shopkeeper, that is, he wants to eat the entire restaurant, and it's not him!
The little demon looked at this mature woman with all kinds of charms in surprise, and remembered the frivolous words just now, and suddenly blushed.
Throwing the reins to the stunned Xiao Er on the side, he slowly entered the store with the shopkeeper Fu and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Fukuhara Wan looked back, and said lightly, "Uncle Xiao, don't worry, since you are here, follow me to the backyard to serve tea first, and let me come slowly." ”
The little demon stopped, followed her into the backyard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, it was actually a big garden!
There are two or three pavilions, blue bricks and black tiles, the cloister is tortuous; there are a few old willows beside the road, the peach trees are in pairs, and the plum trees are a pair, and they are arranged very elegantly; a stone road, on both sides of the stone road, the flowing water is murmuring; a few plum trees, the branches and stems are ancient, and they are quite elegant.
There is also a small wooden building, hooked eaves and corners, beautifully decorated, and the carved window below is round, and there are half-old peach charms on the window......
Specially, isn't this Qiao Yushu's house, in the countryside of Daqin!
The little demon was surprised in his heart, and looked at Fukuhara Wan with an inquiring gaze.
Fukuhara Wan didn't squeak, clapped her hands gently, and two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls came in, and began to make tea lightly, beckoning the little demon to sit in a delicate pavilion
Under.
The woman then said: "Does Uncle Xiao feel that this place is a little familiar? Yes, this is designed by Lord Qiao, the leader of the Xiaoyu Gang, and it is said that Lord Qiao has copied the scenery of his hometown here. ”
The little demon suddenly thought in his heart: So, Qiao Yushu's family should be reunited?
He must have heard from his old father about the past, and knew that I admired his little courtyard. In that case, it's good, it's just that this nerd's mind.
Alas, who said he was still just a nerd now? If you compare my Jiuhua to a country, he is already a member of the Pillar Country.
Fukuhara's sweet and soft voice sounded in his ears: "The little fish gang leader said, you and the other two uncles will always walk in the world, and you can't tell you that you will arrive here one day." ”
"He's really accurate! No, this small building today is the perfect place for you to stay. ”
The little demon sighed, but ......
"When did Li Xiaoyu become a helper?" the little demon asked with a squint of eyes.
"Ah, Uncle Xiao has a lot of opportunities, and he may not know that the old gang leader of my fish and shrimp gang abdicated early to make way for Xian and went back to the countryside to be blessed. Today's helper, called Liu Shengzuo Weimin, is an old acquaintance of Uncle Yan, and Xiaoyu became the deputy helper. ”
Small kiosk
The little demon tilted his head and thought about it, Liu Sheng Zuo Weimin, oh, this person has heard Mei'er talk about it, he is an opportunistic predator in the business field, and it is very suitable to be a helper.
Then, the little demon asked some more about the situation in Mingzhou, Fukuhara Wan actually knew a lot, it seems that she is not only the proprietress of this restaurant......
It turns out that the Fish and Shrimp Gang has opened two rice shops in Mingzhou, and there is also a silk and satin shop, and in other places, even in the Kingdom of Fujian, there are branches...... The business is getting bigger and bigger, and it will soon be renamed the Money Gang.
"The forces in the city are complicated now, and many remnants of the Jianghu gangs and disciples of the small sects of the Immortal Family have settled here. If you talk about the biggest force, it is naturally me Jiuhua and Xichu, and the two families have fought openly and secretly many times. ”
"I'm here to Shun Restaurant, even Uncle Qiao came to Mingzhou, and he must be here to settle down. ”
The little demon couldn't help but be taken aback again, and asked, "My senior sister Qiao Una, how many times has she been to Mingzhou?"
"Let's say there are two times in Shaoli, once she comes, there will be chaos in the city, and the chickens and dogs will jump. ”
The little demon smiled and said in his heart: I didn't expect that this demon woman would be a spy leader, and she seemed to be like a fish in water......
But Senior Sister Qiao was born with two horns, but she haunts everywhere all year round, I don't know if she has ever covered it up, and how did she hide it?
After thinking about it, he asked casually: "Now, which one is the head of my Jiuhua in this city, and where is the entrance of the hall?"
Fukuhara Wan lowered her voice and said: "This is a secret, I don't have the right to know who the head of the Lord is, I heard that the surname is Jane, and he opened a shop selling wine on the edge of the Yongjiang River in the old city." ”
Who is this, I don't know. The little demon shook his head, didn't care anymore, and said, "I'm hungry, get something to eat first." ”
Seeing that Fukuhara Wan was always inadvertently close to herself, the little demon hesitated, and thought to herself: Do you want to tell her, it's okay to stay away from me?
When I entered the door just now, I inadvertently said the wrong thing, I was always so beaten, I'm afraid that the shopkeeper really thought that I would eat her.
