Chapter 144: Wishful Thinking
A Kaifeng city is also divided into three, six, nine and so on in terms of geography. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Zhou Palace, located in the south-central position, is like the most honorable master in this city. The southwest area outside the palace is the yamen of the provincial, government and county government offices, and most of the officials and nobles who live here are high-ranking officials.
On the other hand, the northeast of the city is the most filthy place in the prosperous Kaifeng City.
This area is mixed with dragons and snakes, the composition of personnel is very chaotic, full of all kinds of gray trades, and it is a gathering place for "car and ship shops" and other businesses. Therefore, most of the people gathered here are some low-class peddlers and pawns.
The most famous in this area is, of course, the small street of West Yulin Lane behind Mahang Street. However, in addition to here, there is another famous place, which is East Yulin Lane------ which refers to the fame in the circle of some rich and noble people, and has little to do with ordinary ordinary people.
Under the bright exterior of the rich and noble, there are often some unspeakable secrets that are easily hidden from outsiders.
There are a lot of city fox rats, ruffians and hooligans gathered in East Yulin Lane, and even some kidnappers who do bulk goods, all of whom also take some work here.
It's not that no one wants to take care of this area, but this kind of thing is often a wildfire that can't be burned and blown by the spring breeze.
There have been several new Xiangfu Governors and Kaifeng Governors, who have carried out the clean-up of East Yulin Lane, but have not achieved significant results. Usually after a period of hard crackdown, it will soon be recurred------ and so on.
In this world, there is white and black, and where there is light, there is darkness, but contradictions coexist.
In fact, the existence of these people has more advantages than disadvantages for some people. With their protection, one or two young and vigorous Broken County Orders and Destroying Door Mansion Yin still want to go all out to clean it up?
Easier said than done!
At the time of the lantern, the night covered the earth, and the entire Kaifeng city was black and oppressive, and the candles of each household were not enough to illuminate the city.
The night curfew is approaching, and many shops on the street have closed their doors, but the street vendors are still shouting and selling, striving to sell more things today and make more money to support their families.
A young-looking, freshly dressed and angry boy strolled down the street, accompanied by several sturdy men.
Many of the pedestrians coming and going on the street are habitual thieves and pickpockets, and it is easy for them to target a well-dressed boy like this.
But as soon as they saw the fierce and unsmiling entourage behind this boy, many people chose to avoid them.
This kind of person who goes out with a bunch of entourage is not so easy to provoke.
Thump------
At the entrance of the gambling house not far ahead, a young man with a stubble figure was thrown out of it and fell to the floor with a dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, two men rushed out of the gambling hall and punched and kicked the person on the floor, and the beaten man rolled back and forth on the ground, holding his head with his hands and wailing.
"Damn, you dare to come to us without money, is it really the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and saves the hard?"
As one of the men spoke, he kicked the man on the ground twice, and cursed in his mouth: "Listen, the money you owe in our yard will be repaid to me within three days, or else ------ hum, and you will use your mother-in-law to pay off the debt!" ”
"Did you hear that?"
The other person also went up to make up for it, and then said: "But then again, your mother-in-law looks quite smart, and she can sell it to the kiln for a good price------ hehe, when the two brothers go over to be cool------
This kind of thing happens everywhere in the area, and it happens several times a day. The young boy was not surprised by this, but smiled softly and continued to walk forward.
When he reached the front of the gambling house, the young man lying on the ground also happened to get up, but he just glanced up at him and hurried past him.
Click------
The sound of bones breaking behind him rang out, followed by a terrible wail.
He looked back and saw one of his attendants, holding the wrist of the strange man, whose entire palm was hanging downward, limp in the air.
It seems that his hand is useless.
At this time, the attendant handed over a jade pendant with his other hand and said, "Eldest son, this kid doesn't know whether he lives or dies, and wants to take your things by the way, what do you think should be done?" ”
This person is Wang Chaoli, the eldest son of Wang Qiong, and the eldest son of the Wang family.
Only then did he know what had happened, his frowning brows stretched, and he sneered: "It's really a thing with no eyesight, stealing everything to this son------ it just so happens that this son is not in a good mood today, so I want him to have one more hand." ”
As soon as he had said that, he turned and walked on, the sound of bones breaking and the man's howl again.
Stopping in front of the gate of a restaurant, Wang Chaoli looked up, and the signboard of the restaurant was illuminated by two red lanterns, and the three big characters of "Ruyi Building" were clearly visible.
"Ruyi Building, Ruyi Building------ this son will see today, can you let me be happy here." Wang Chaoli whispered to himself and stepped in.
It was nighttime, and the restaurant was dimly lit, except for candles lit on each of the tables.
What is rare is that there are still many "guests" in the restaurant at this time, all of whom are men with fierce faces and sharp blades. They occupy a table alone, or in twos and threes, and sit there drinking in large bowls and bowls, and do not make a noise.
As soon as they saw a richly dressed boy like Wang Chaoli coming in, many people were in high spirits and realized that "business" was coming to the door. However, they all seemed very well-behaved, and still sat in their seats, except to glance over from time to time.
Ruyi Building has the rules of Ruyi Building, and anyone who steps into this place must do things according to the rules set by the owner. It's okay to take the job, but you have to go through the steward here and act as a middleman to introduce both parties.
The owner of Ruyi Building has a background all over the world, and he has long let out his words - whether you are killing people or setting fires, as long as you can afford the price, you will be able to do your best here.
Wang Chaoli found a table and sat down, and the shopkeeper stepped forward and asked, "What kind of wine does this son want to drink?" ”
Without Wang Dynasty making a sound, one of the entourages standing on the side had already said: "Our son is here, naturally he wants to drink your signature wine, and he will be happy!" ”
As soon as these words came out, many men around them had green eyes, and the candle flame jumped happily in a pair of slightly widened eyes, just like their hot hearts at the moment.
The shopkeeper immediately understood, and hurriedly invited: "Please also ask the son to move and sit in the private room on the second floor." ”
Wang Chaoli nodded slightly, got up and walked with him to the second floor.
