Text Chapter 23 Money Leopard Tang Long
This sudden scene immediately taught the surrounding crowd to look sideways.
Tang Long couldn't help but be stunned at this time, and looked at the majestic figure in front of him in a daze, and he didn't even notice that the knife in his hand was shocked out.
This figure is Chao Gai, who has just come to the capital.
"The body is skinned, the parents who receive it, how can a good man harm his body at will?" Seeing that Tang Long looked over a little blankly, Chao Gai smiled and greeted.
"Bastard", when the fat man saw this, he couldn't help scolding angrily, pointed at Chao Gai and said angrily: "Where did you come from, dare to disturb my master's game?" ”
No, as soon as these words came out, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind Chao Gai, grabbed the fat man's finger pointing at Chao Gai, and asked with some teasingness: "Where did you come from, master, and also teach me Xiaoqi to recognize it well?" ”
Hiss –
"Pain, pain, pain, ...... Let it go", the fat man suddenly twitched, gasped, and hurriedly stood up, trying to withdraw his hand. I don't want to, but I feel that the other party is like a plier, and I hold his fingers tightly. The fat man felt that as long as the other party pushed a little harder, his finger would be broken.
"Who will let go?" Seeing this, Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh again.
"Call you", the fat man's words came to his mouth, and he felt the strength of his fingers, and hurriedly changed his words: "No...... No, a good man spares his life, a good man spares his life".
"It turned out to be a coward, I thought I could recognize an uncle to take care of my Xiaoqi's wine", Ruan Xiaoqi let go, and pushed it slightly, and the fat man immediately poured behind him. Ruan Xiaoqi clapped his hands twice and said to himself. That expression was extremely sincere.
"Oh, this is my brother to pay back your money for this hero", Ruan Xiaoqi pouted and said: "Don't think that you have a few stinky money, I can't get used to this kind of people." There are many richer and more powerful people in this Tokyo city, keep your dog's eyes open and see clearly, don't get into trouble! ”
As he spoke, Ruan Xiaoqi threw out a money bag and smashed it straight on the fat man.
Seeing this, the fat man was about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the money bag.
Gold?
Suddenly, the fat man became a little cautious. If you want to talk about gold, he has it too. But the person who dares to come with gold nuggets to gamble big, he himself does not have that ability.
Just looking at the appearance and posture of the person in front of him, he looks a little extraordinary, especially the eyes, which are definitely ruthless. Not to mention his master on the other side, at a glance, he has been in the top position for a long time. The two people in front of him are either rich or expensive, and I am afraid that they have a lot of backgrounds.
I don't know if this fat man noticed something from Xiao Qi, but at this time, he pretended to be cowardly and didn't say anything.
"Thank you for this hero, Tang Long really doesn't know how to repay him!"
Tang Long looked at Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi, and suddenly clenched his fists. The two people in front of him didn't know him, but at this time, they actually made a righteous move, and they also gave themselves a lot of money, which really surprised Tang Long.
Now it's small, but my hand is saved. Speaking of which, that's a life-saving grace, how can he not thank him?
"Brother Tang Long, why should you be polite", Chao Gai hurriedly smiled and pulled Tang Long up: "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, some little things, why worry about it."
Hearing this, Tang Long thanked him again, but he was slightly hesitant in his heart. I'm sure I don't know these two people, but when I see what this person said, I seem to know myself, could it be that when I saw these two people, and now I have forgotten?
"Brother Tang Long, this is not the place to speak, why don't I go downstairs and have a few bowls of wine and talk freely." Seeing Chao Gai's eyes, Ruan Xiaoqi had already understood, and looked at Tang Long, who was covered with spotted scars in front of him, and invited with a smile.
"It's okay", Tang Long couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this: "It should be so, Tang Long is about to reward the two heroes."
As he spoke, the three of them walked away leisurely in the intertwined eyes of everyone, but no one stopped them. And although the fat man before was so angry that his face turned pale, he didn't dare to make a sound and let the other party leave.
"Tang Long thanked the two great favors, and dared to ask the two heroes for their surnames?"
Out of Changle Fang, Tang Long led Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi straight to a restaurant not far away, and chose a private room to sit down. After ordering the good wine and food, he saw that there was no one else, so he hugged his fists again and thanked Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi in front of him.
"Brother Tang Long's more courtesy", Ruan Xiaoqi saw Tang Long in front of him saluting again, and while pulling Tang Long, he deliberately complained and said: "I Xiaoqi is a cheerful person, if Brother Tang Long is really grateful to me and my brother, he will drink this bowl with me, so he is really a good man."
In fact, before this, Ruan Xiaoqi didn't know Tang Long, and he hadn't even heard of this person. It's just that after he followed Chao Gai into Changle Fang, because the movement on Tang Long's side was too big, he came over with some curiosity.
I don't want to, but Brother Chao Gai knows this strong man, and bluntly says that this person's name is Tang Long, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him the money leopard, and he is a well-known hero.
Since Brother Chao Gai has said this, if you want to come to this Tang Long, he must be a hero.
"Eh", Tang Long was stunned, he didn't want the man in front of him who looked a few years younger than him to be so fast-talking, but he was surprised, but he had a good impression in his heart: "What the little seventh brother said is that Tang Long did it first as respect!" ”
As he spoke, Tang Long raised his head and drank all the water and wine in the bowl.
"Good!" Seeing this, Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile: "This is what my spleen and stomach are." As he spoke, he also took a sip of the wine in the bowl.
Seeing this, Chao Gai couldn't help laughing, and then drank the wine in the bowl first, and then said to Tang Long: "Brother Tang Long, don't mind, my little seventh brother is upright. It's really abrupt. Contemptible Chao Gai, this is Ruan Xiaoqi, and this person is the one who is called the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi by the people of the rivers and lakes."
"Ahh ”
"Brother Tang Long, please get up quickly", Chao Gai hurriedly pulled up Tang Long: "But it's not Xiao Qi who said, how can the brother drop so many courtesies."
"In the past, I once heard the ancestral craftsmanship of the Tanglong brothers, and they played a good iron, which was a must, and they were nicknamed Money Leopard. How did it fall to this point today, so that he fell into the way of the fat man? Chao Gai looked at Tang Long in front of him, and he was also puzzled.
Before, he had planned to go to Changle Fang to find out the news, and then make a calculation. I didn't know that when I entered the Changle Fang, I was attracted by the movement of Tang Long's table.
When I first saw Tang Long, Chao Gai was quite different. At this time, the muscles in both arms are very strong, and it is thought that the strength of the arms is due to the perennial strength of the arms. His hands, arms, legs, and even his head and face were marked with large and small scars, which looked like they had been around for years. At first glance, it does look like a leopard with money. Therefore, Chao Gai couldn't help but think of the name Tanglong, the money leopard.
And at this moment, as the fat man in front of him revealed the gambling game, Chao Gai instantly confirmed that the person in front of him was Tang Long.
Thinking of this, Chao Gai couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "God help me." This Tang Long was originally a member of Liangshan in the original Water Margin, and when he met it at this time, how could he miss it.
Moreover, in today's Chao Gai's thinking, this Tang Long is definitely a key figure in the development and growth of Liangshan in the future. I didn't want to meet here, which was really an unexpected joy.
"Well, it's hard to put into words." Tang Long saw Chao Gai asking, couldn't help but sigh heavily, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and took a sip slowly before explaining to Chao Gai.
It turned out that he was originally from Yan'an Prefecture, and later came to Tokyo to make a living with his ancestral skills, and his life was okay at first. But because he is a good man, he has not saved any money.
Once, he took a business order, and he didn't want the business to be delivered, but the balance payment was delayed. He went to ask for it a few times, but was given a cold reception, and then he made a big fuss at that house. In the end, he was sent to the government by that family and ate two months in prison. Later, he realized that it was the family who had bought off the official of the yamen. I simply gave up, and I had to consider myself unlucky.
I don't want to leave this matter at that, but the other party doesn't plan to let him go. The fat man was originally a butcher, not far from Tanglong's blacksmith shop, and usually recruited some ruffians to oppress the surrounding shops.
The family found this fat man and asked him to come to the blacksmith every once in a while to find trouble, and whoever wanted to come to the door to do business with him, they came to the door to make a fuss, and made it impossible to do his own business. At this point, I can't continue my business.
I was depressed in every way before, and I wanted to go to the casino for a while, but I didn't want to be targeted by the fat man's scoundrels again, so there was something afterward.
"I see", Chao Gai said with some indignation: "In such a world, it is really chilling to teach the good man to be wronged, but to teach the villain to achieve his will."
"However", speaking of this, Chao Gai looked at Tang Long with some regret: "Brother, your right move is really a bit reckless. As the old saying goes: a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Knowing that the other party is deliberately cheating, I really shouldn't be angry."
"Chao Tianwang is right", Tang Long heard this, but he was convinced: "Shicai is indeed extremely reckless, fortunately saved by my brother." Saying that, Tang Long paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "I don't know what Brother Tianwang and Little Seven Brother are here, what are you doing?" If it's useful to Tang Long, please let the two of you speak up."
"Even so, the matter is urgent, and Chao Gai is not polite", Chao Gai said bluntly: "I don't know if the virtuous brother has ever heard of Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army?" ”
"This matter is well known in Tokyo City, why did my brother ask about it?" , Tang Long looked at Chao Gai with some surprise: "Could it be ...... Brother is here for the head of the Nalin Sect? ”
"Strictly speaking, it's not for Lin Jiaotou, but for Lin Jiaotou's ......family," he said, Chao Gai told Tang Long all about his intention and Lin Chong's ascension to Liangshan.
"Brother Tianwang actually worked tirelessly and personally came to rescue the family of the head of the Lin sect. Brother, do you know that with your current identity, if you are recognized, won't you be unable to protect yourself? Obviously, Chao Gai's words made Tang Long very stunned.
"It's okay, it's just me and Xiao Qi", hearing this, Chao Gai smiled and waved his hand: "As long as we don't meet someone from Yuncheng County, the two of us will protect ourselves."
"People say that the king of heaven is righteous and thin, and when I see it today, it is true."
After a while, Tang Long came back to his senses: "Before, when I heard that the head of the Lin Sect was in trouble, Tang Long only hated that he was powerless to help, but now that he has encountered it, he asked Tang Long to do his best." Brother Lao Tianwang and Brother Xiaoqi will rest here first, and Tang Long will go to find out some information first, and then make plans."
"In this way, there is Brother Lao Xian", Chao Gai is not polite, Tang Long is familiar with each other here, and it is naturally much more convenient for him to inquire about the news than the two of himself.
Hearing this, Tang Long clenched his fists and left in a hurry.
……
About half an hour, Tang Long, who was sweating profusely, returned to the previous restaurant with an anxious face.
"Brother Tianwang, things have changed. That Gao Yanei ordered someone to escort Lin Niangzi to Cangzhou yesterday......"
