Chapter 23: The Two Sides of Man
Organized criminal gangs with the purpose of obtaining illegal benefits and having a set of illegal underground order that runs counter to the law and order are called gangsters, and they are also known as rivers and lakes and green forests.
The Chinese-style gangsters extended from the rebel army, which can be traced back to the Green Forest and the Red Eyebrow Uprising.
Because interests are eternal, and other ideals cannot withstand the erosion of time, they have gradually degenerated into interest groups one by one.
This is true of the Butcher Gang, and the same is true of the Yakuza Gang, who divide their interests according to the interests of the industry and the jurisdiction, and this behavior has not changed for thousands of years.
Tie Xinyuan saw that Niu Er was struggling to survive, and was finally stabbed to death by a spear, and this bloody scene made him not even blink an eyelid.
He had experienced this scene, and when he was lying on the Gobi and looking at the stars, he figured out everything, especially about the consideration of life and death.
The officials roared from the other side of the street with water and fire sticks, and the chains in their hands were waving loudly and loudly.
The assailants were gone, or they were about to flee the city of Tokyo, and the trappers were still patiently yelling in the streets, as if not doing so would not be enough to show their might.
The only ones who can be scared away are civilians, and in addition to Niu Er's corpse on the street, there is only a group of flaunting catchers.
Their might could not scare away the greedy flies, and the fast catcher pulled Niu Er's corpse with his feet, and the green-headed flies flew away like dark clouds.
"Ah, it's Niu Er who died, Lao Tzu has long said that if you continue to mess around like this, sooner or later you will die on the street, sure enough."
Hearing the words of the hair catcher, other catchers stopped acting, and gathered around to look at Niu Er's rag-like body and laugh.
Some are even betting on how many knives Niu Er took to die.
Seeing Niu Er's corpse being pulled around with sticks or feet, Tie Xinyuan inexplicably felt sad in his heart......
The mother dragged Tie Xinyuan to the back kitchen without saying a word, she didn't want her son to see this tragic scene.
The braised meat on the stove is tumbling up and down, and the two mothers-in-law use an iron fork to insert the meat pieces and prepare to send them to Fanlou.
The plate in front of Tie Xinyuan contained a huge pork leg bone, and the mother had already poked out the bone marrow, waiting for her son to do it.
Wang Rouhua looked at her son's line of sight, only to see a wall blackened by firewood, she sighed and continued to work on her own business.
"The shopkeeper, do well, and reward a small piece of linen cloth if you don't want it."
A timid voice came from the storefront, and after Tie Xinyuan went out, he found a little beggar who couldn't tell the man or woman standing in front of the store.
Tie Xinyuan handed the pig bone in his hand to the little beggar and said, "I have a bone for you here." ”
The little beggar looked at the pork bones full of meat, swallowed his saliva and shook his head, "Okay, okay, can you give a piece of linen?" The old one is done. ”
Tie Xinyuan looked at the flesh and bones in his hands, and then looked at the little beggar and said strangely: "What do you want to do with the linen?" ”
The little beggar rubbed his reddened eyes with his dirty hands and said, "The second uncle is dead, and I want to cover his face with a sackcloth." ”
"Niu Er is always bullying, why do you want to help him? Are you his nephew? ”
The little beggar hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily and pointed outside, "We are all his nephews." ”
Tie Xinyuan casually glanced at the street, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Seven or eight little beggars gathered around Niu Er's corpse, trying to drive away the flies and prevent them from landing on Niu Er's body to lay eggs, and a few younger children even took off their tattered clothes and made a small pergola to shade Niu Er.
The official errand had already left, the weather was too hot, and the laborers who carried the dead refused to come over on a hot day, and when they sent Niu Er's body to the mass grave with a cart, it should be at least sunset.
Seeing this scene, Tie Xinyuan gave the little beggar the pig bones and a large piece of clean linen cloth without thinking about it.
At the end of the street is a coffin shop, Tie Xinyuan kindly reminded the little beggar.
The little beggar's face was gloomy, and after shaking his head, he and a few older children carried Niu Er's body onto a climbing plow made of tree branches, and then dragged the body towards the city gate.
The corpses were gone, and there were fewer flies, and a few of the galleys scooped up the bloodstained dirt with shovels and put it in the basket, and the blood stains on the stone slabs were washed away with clean water.
As a result, the last mark left by Niu Er in the world was also eliminated.
"These babies still have a conscience, and they don't owe Niu Er to take care of them for more than a year."
After cleaning the street, the old gentleman sat in the Seven Brother soup cake shop to rest, and begged for a bowl of water to drink by the way.
"Will a pimp like Niu Er take care of those little beggars? He cheated copper money from Lao Tzu every month. The owner of the cold medicine shop next to him said in a weird way.
The husband smiled: "The old man doesn't know why this Niu Er wants to do this, but the old man fights more at night, Niu Er does always send food to these children, and some time ago he carried a little girl to Mr. Hou's hospital to see a doctor, and I heard that it cost a lot of money." ”
"I'm afraid that the weasel didn't have a good heart for the New Year's greetings to the chickens, could it be that he saw that little beggar was handsome, and planned to raise it and sell it for money?"
The cobbler on the opposite side said angrily: "Don't be afraid of being sorry when you say this, can you let go of all the good-looking little beggars who hide in the gutter?"
Even if Niu Er is a bastard, he gave the little beggar some food, and he can still carry the sick little beggar to see a doctor, which is kindness.
Old man Liu, Mr. Hou's medical clinic is notoriously expensive, and you probably won't send your own baby to Mr. Hou when he is sick, right? ”
"Stinker, we're talking about Niu Er, that dead ghost, what are you pulling my baby for? Don't say that Niu Er didn't bully you, was that big mouth comfortable last time? ”
The red-faced leathersmith clenched his fists and was about to stand up and beat the shopkeeper of the Liang Pharmacy, but was stopped by Wang Rouhua and said with a smile: "It's good that Niu Er is already dead, let's stop saying bad things about him if we accumulate some virtue, and it makes sense to talk about who will come to Xishuimen to collect fees next." ”
Wang Rouhua mentioned this, and the shopkeepers who gathered around the Seven Brothers soup cake had no intention of talking, the wolf was gone, and another leopard was certain.
The Kaifeng Mansion is the government that has the final say, but the government is unreliable after all, there is no guild, the tooth line is protecting, and if you want to gain a foothold in Tokyo City, it is always an empty word.
When it was time to eat dinner, Tie Xinyuan knew the cause and effect of everything.
The hall master of the Foxy Gang, Jin Fox Tang Jinzi, didn't know where he heard that Niu Er was going to kill him and set up another portal, so he took advantage of Niu Er's defenselessness to suddenly attack and injured Niu Er's leg, and was ready to kill Niu Er first in his own courtyard.
I thought that this thing could be done without knowing it, but I didn't expect Niu Er's combat power to be strong, so he forced himself out of the courtyard from the heavy encirclement, and finally came to the street.
In this battle, although Niu Er died, the Fox Gang also suffered heavy losses, and the six people who could fight the most in the gang were killed by Niu Er, and countless people were injured, and their strength was greatly reduced for a while.
In addition to killing people on the street, it has already violated the taboo of the government, and the lord of Kaifeng County has approved the fire lot, and ordered the arresters to arrest the murderer within three days, otherwise it will be thirty canes for more than one day......
For this reason, Tang Jinzi had to escape from Tokyo City with his subordinates to hide elsewhere.
After listening to Tong Pan's narration, Tie Xinyuan frowned and asked, "Niu Er is really helping those little beggars?" Is this true? ”
Tong Pan nodded again and again: "It's true, I gave the big teapot of Chunxiang Pavilion ten cents, it was he who said it to me personally, Niu Er is often hungry for those little beggars, and Sister Hua of Chunxiang Pavilion has no hope this time." ”
"Sister Hua?" Tie Xinyuan asked strangely.
"Niu Er's good looks, Niu Er originally planned to redeem Sister Hua and marry home, but now that the person is dead, everything is over."
After the copper plate finished speaking, he stuffed the remaining dozen coppers into Tie Xinyuan's hand and ran home to eat.
Tie Xinyuan sat under the pear tree a little overwhelmed, he never thought that Niu Er would have such a face.
I thought I was doing the right thing for heaven, but who knew that I was doing evil.
Since he came to this world, he thought that he could live happily with revenge, but when the matter came out, he found that he still couldn't pass the conscience level.
killed a cow er, but in fact changed the fate of many people...... This made Tie Xinyuan's heart seem to be stuffed with a lot of big stones.
If he didn't have himself, Niu Er might have raised those little beggars, and maybe he would be able to fish the dusty woman out of the fire pit......
In order not to worry his mother, Tie Xinyuan happily accompanied his mother to dinner, and also told some anecdotes that he read from books.
After his mother fell asleep, Tie Xinyuan lay on the small bed outside, his eyes fixed on the roof, and he didn't fall asleep for a long time.
When the sound of wood colliding came from the copper plate house, Tie Xinyuan finally made up his mind, Niu Er is dead, and the fate of others should not be affected by himself.
Since Niu Er's death was handled by himself, the problem he left behind should be his own problem.
It was only at this time that he understood what the Buddhists meant by bad karma, once it was stained with cause and effect, he would never want to escape in this life.
When the mind was decided, drowsiness came like a tidal wave and covered him completely......
In his sleep, he saw Niu Er's bloodstained face again, and he was roaring to himself: "You are harming me!" ”
