Chapter 283: Di Renjie's Trick (II)
Di Renjie ordered a group of officials from Dali Temple to rush into this small shop and start smashing clay pots, and several ruffians looked at Di Renjie with ugly faces, "This official, how did we offend you." ”
"This silver cake is enough to buy all the clay pots you have here, and you have nothing to do to relax." Di Renjie said leisurely.
Pei Xingjian looked at this Di Renjie, who was about the same age as himself, this was the first time he had seen his senior brother, Gu Qing's first apprentice.
"You're taking us to distract us!?" A few ruffians looked at Di Renjie.
"What's wrong?" Di Renjie looked at each other.
"Let's go!" The ruffian who took the lead left the place, leaving a shattered mess in his wake.
"Thank you." Pei Xingjian said to Di Renjie.
"You're welcome." Di Renjie also said with a smile, "Be careful in everything, don't go wrong with the imperial examination." ”
"I understand below." Pei Xingjian nodded and said.
Di Renjie smiled meaningfully, "There is a pen shop in Dongshi, and the pens there are very good. ”
Hearing this, Pei Xingjian's eyes flickered and nodded.
Half an hour later, Pei Xingjian came to this pen house in the East Market, the relatively lively East Market is very deserted, there are no guests to buy things, and he walked into the quiet pen house, why did Di Renjie say this pen house.
"Does this guest officer read the pen?" The shopkeeper stepped forward and said with a smile.
Pei Xingjian picked up a brush and looked at it, "I'll take a look first." ”
"Hey!" The guy nodded and stood aside.
"You don't seem to have any guests here, can you make a living?" Pei Xingjian looked at the pen fast.
The guy smiled and replied, "This is the shopkeeper's business, and the little one is just a miscellaneous man." ”
As he spoke, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs in Bizhai, and Pei Xingjian looked up strangely.
"It's our shopkeeper up there." The guy explained with a smile, and his eyes became vigilant.
Pei Xingjian put down the pen in his hand, and was puzzled that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if someone was going downstairs, until he saw a figure coming out of the hidden corridor, and before he could see the person, he heard the voice, "You come up." ”
Familiar voice, looking at the other party's figure, Pei Xingjian understood in an instant.
The guy let out a sigh of relief, "Please, little brother." ”
Pei Xingjian walked up the stairs of Bizhai, walked out of the dim corridor and came to the second floor, Di Renjie sat here smiling, and there was a fat monk with a fat head and big ears sitting on the side, it was very quiet here, and there was only the sound of the drizzle falling outside.
"Senior brother, sit down." Di Renjie said.
Pei Xingjian sat down and looked at the fat monk on the side strangely.
"You are Gu Tou'er's new disciple?" The fat monk looked at Pei Xingjian.
"Under Pei Xingjian." Pei Xingjian replied.
The rain slid through the eaves and fell, forming a curtain of water in front of the windowsill, Di Renjie looked at his junior brother, "Master told me about you, don't be so restrained, the people here are the teacher's henchmen, and they have been following the teacher since the teacher first arrived in Chang'an." ”
Pei Xingjian nodded.
"There are a lot of things that the teacher didn't tell you, and as a senior brother, I need to explain them to you." Di Renjie continued: "Back then, the teacher established an organization composed of rangers in this place where dragons and snakes were mixed in Chang'an, which is now the Green Gang, and our eyeliner is all over Chang'an. ”
"Senior brother understands." Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "Senior brother, there is still one thing I don't understand. ”
"Say!" Di Renjie said quietly.
"Why did the teacher set up this organization, and whether the collapse of the original family was related to the teacher's organization." Pei Xingjian said.
"Sometimes I don't understand." Di Renjie held the folding fan in his hand, "Sometimes I think that the teacher has too many enemies, and it may be a last resort." ”
The fat monk smiled silently, he knew better than Di Renjie before and after Gu Qing established the Green Gang, everything had to start with Wu Mei, and the beginning of the Green Gang was from Wu Mei's turn.
Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian talked a lot, and then the two walked out of the back door of Bizhai and bypassed the hidden alley all the way.
"Remember the route here, don't walk from Dongshi to Bizhai in the future, go from here." Di Renjie took Pei Xingjian through street corners.
Pei Xingjian followed behind Di Renjie in small steps, "Does the teacher still have a disciple?" ”
"Xue Rengui, now he is with Su Dingfang in the army." Di Renjie smiled and nodded, "You will also see him in the future, you are the teacher's secret chess, Xue Rengui is the teacher's bright chess, some people say that it is inappropriate for the teacher to accept a disciple into the army." ”
Pei Xingjian replied, "The next one is the most appropriate, and the one who has no weakness is the most feared, on the contrary, the person with the weakness will make people feel at ease, and the teacher with firearms naturally can't be in the army, but if you make a wrong decision, put it in front of others." ”
"People will think that teachers are just like that." Di Renjie took Pei Xingjian into a lively restaurant and continued, "What I don't understand is that the teacher takes a fancy to Xue Rengui at a glance, this person is not as smart as you. ”
"The teacher is also at a glance." Pei Xingjian also said.
"Let's eat something." Di Renjie shouted at a wine table, "Man, serve the wine!" ”
"Okay." The guy came in a hurry.
Pei Xingjian sat down with Di Renjie and drank a sip of the spirits, sticking out his tongue It was the first time to drink the spirits, but Di Renjie enjoyed the drink a lot, and the guy served a few more pots of snacks and then whispered a few words in Di Renjie's ear.
couldn't understand this strange move, Pei Xingjian could only observe.
Hearing the man's words, Di Renjie nodded, "I know." ”
"Is there anything else the guest officer needs?" The guy asked with a smile.
"No need." Di Renjie took out a piece of silver cake, "Reward you." ”
"Whatever the guest officer needs, he will command." The guy stepped back with a courteous face.
After taking a bite of something, Di Renjie took a sip of wine and stood up and said to Pei Xingjian, "You come with me." ”
The curious Pei Xingjian followed Di Renjie to stand up, and before leaving, he took two hats in the tavern and walked to the streets of Chang'an in the rain, there were no pedestrians on the streets of Chang'an on a rainy day, Pei Xingjian noticed that the people behind him didn't know when they had followed a few guys with hats, and Di Renjie walked very calmly.
When he came to a small house, Pei Xingjian saw a few men hiding from the rain in the courtyard of the house, who were the ruffians who had blackmailed their sons before.
Di Renjie lowered his hat and said to the ranger behind him, "Do it, I want to hear the sound." ”
"Yes!" Several rangers stepped forward in response, passed by Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian, and walked into the hut.
