Fan Jin came from Shi's mother's yard to the alley where the rotor room was located, and the time was already in the palm of the lamp. Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and it was pitch black in all directions. In this era, no matter how big the city was, there were no street lights, and as soon as the sun went down, it was all lit by the lights of the shops on the road. The inner city is better, when it comes to the rotor room, there are not many serious transactions, some temporary stalls and some taverns that buy and sell suspicious items, there are not many lights and candles, and they can't provide any light, and the lantern in Fan Jin's hand is an important light source.

Tonight the wind was very strong, and the wind-blown lanterns swayed from side to side, and the lights flickered and flickered, and finally went out. The candles that had been lit twice in a row were blown out by the wind, and Fan Jin had no choice but to give up, using Wang San's bald head as a reference, and moved forward little by little.

Close to the outskirts of the city, the conditions are not good in all aspects, the ground is potholed, and you will be extra careful when walking on the road, and if you are not careful, you will hurt your feet.

The three of them were very respectful, holding a torch in their hands for lighting, and while leading the way in front, they kindly reminded: "Master Fan, pay attention to your feet, be careful." This place is no better than the city, it is a place where a bunch of poor sticks live, and they can't afford to pay attention to all aspects, so you can forgive me, sir. ”

"Well said."

Fan Jin didn't talk to Wang San all the way, and only coped with a few words perfunctorily. In fact, he is not the kind of ordinary scholar, and he doesn't take the distinction between high and low so seriously in his heart, and he won't look down on people just because the other party is a bad person. Besides, Wang San said that he was doing himself a favor, and he was a ground mouse in this area, so if he wanted to take away the Zheng family, he had to ask him for help. Even from a utilitarian point of view, you should be polite to him and deliberately generalize one or two. But for some reason, Fan Jin didn't like this person from the bottom of his heart, and subconsciously kept his distance from this person.

Xu was affected by the dark environment around him, and Fan Jin's uneasy feeling became stronger and stronger, as if there were many sinister enemies hidden in the dark shadows, who might come out and give him a knife at any time. This feeling was rarely felt even on the Luoshan front, and it became even more unusual in a place like Kyoshi.

After walking for a while, there was a private house in front of it. The rows of houses are built like ecstasy. The houses were low and dilapidated, and some men were standing outside, and a few men with fierce eyebrows were walking around outside, looking not good. The environment here is worse than that of the Zheng family, and the stench wafting from the wind is mixed with the smell of inferior wine and fat powder, which makes people feel sick. Sewage from the ground flows sideways, and stinky water of unknown origin forms streams on the ground.

Wang San is very familiar with these people, and when they meet, they say hello, and someone looks at Fan Jin with a torch, and then he is scolded back by Wang San. "Look at what! This is a rich man, unlike those poor ghosts, who provoked others and burned down this kennel. ”

"Rich people should go to Fangsi, why did you come here...... But it's hard to say, some outsiders just like the tune here, after all, the women here can fight as much as they want, and they can ride how they want, unlike Fang Si, who may not be able to touch it after spending money. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, what about Liu Wu?"

"Fifth Master...... I went out, and there was something temporary, and my brother called him away, but he did say something, and the person had already brought it, just the last time you saw the house. ”

Fan Jin is dressed as a rich man, although he is unusual in this kind of place, it is not too surprising. Although there are high-level Qing buildings like Fangsi in Jingshi, the rules are also big, and some places can't stay overnight for the first time, and you can't go too far with those maids. Some rich people who are rich but don't want to play with emotions or have some kind of quirks will also go to places like the rotor room to have fun, and Fan Jin is often like this.

After walking more than a dozen steps inside, the door of a house on the side of the road suddenly opened, and a man ran out with his waist hunched and desperate, and a naked woman behind him screamed and chased out, grabbing the man's arm with his hand, but he kicked him in the head. The woman sat on the ground and shouted, "Catch him!" He took my hairpin! Don't let him run! ”

The splashes who were chatting with Wang San just now all surrounded the man, and after the man dodged the two splashes and pushed away the third splash, he was finally knocked to the ground by a brick flying from nowhere, and then he was dragged around the corner by several splashes and beaten.

Wang Sandao: "It's another gambler who doesn't know whether to live or die, he is really desperate, he actually wants to get a few pennies from here, and he wants to steal things after playing with a woman, and he deserves to be killed!" ”

"Isn't there a catcher here?"

"Our place is said to be under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, but it can be counted in the jurisdiction of Wanping County. In order to fight for territory, the poor masters on both sides also fought a few times, and then the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division came out to make a peace, saying that everyone was happy to come over to collect a protection fee. When there is a case, you push me and I push you, I can't tell which yamen is in charge, as long as it doesn't make too much trouble, it's fine. In fact, this kind of person got the yamen and beat it, or we beat it ourselves, saving the trouble of the master. ”

"It's all rotors over here?"

"yes, it's all rotors. Further on is the tavern, and there are several gambling houses. Poor people have to have some fun, don't they? What you lords can enjoy, we must also enjoy, so that it is fair. ”

"Are these women protected by men?"

"Yes, a woman who does business in this area, without a man's protection, is played with in vain. The men who came here were not so regular, there were no bosses from all walks of life on the ground, and they dared to rob things after playing with women. So what everyone earns is actually hard-earned money. ”

Wang San said as he led the way in front, the terrain in this area is complicated, and the roads formed by houses are tortuous back and forth, and it is easy for people to get lost here. After Fan Jin followed him for a few turns, Wang San suddenly stopped, but fortunately, Fan Jin kept paying attention to his footsteps and stood firm so that he didn't crash into him.

Wang San pointed to a small dark room in front of him and said, "This is it." Master Fan, please come in, and the small ones won't go in. ”

"No lights?"

Wang San smiled, "The master said that he laughed, do you still use the lamp to do things?" Besides, the lamp oil still has to be paid, and everyone will not break the bank. He coughed and shouted hard inside: "Master Fan has arrived, if my sister has anything to say, I will tell the master in a while, this is a person who can call the shots!" Don't say nothing, mislead your future, and you can't find a place to cry when you look back! After speaking, he made a gesture towards Fan Jin, "Master, please." ”

"I ...... Start by asking a few questions outside the door. ”

Wang San shook his head and smiled: "Don't be, there are no such rules in this area, you are a man who asks and answers with women outside, and it looks too weird." Turning back and letting the brothers on the street look at it as a rare scene, Liu Wu's face couldn't hold it, and it would be difficult to handle things later. Anyway, you have to face the people, and it's better to go in. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, which creaked with a tooth-aching creak, and in the darkness of the night, by the light of the torches, the room was shaped like a monster with its mouth wide open, waiting for the sacrifice to enter.

As the wooden door turned, the uneasy feeling in Fan Jin's heart suddenly reached its peak, and the cold hairs around his body almost stood upside down at this moment. This is the first time in his life that he has encountered this experience. Even on the battlefield of Luoshan, when he boldly entered the front line, he had never felt such a serious threat.

Although he was on the battlefield at that time, after all, there were a large number of soldiers around him, and there were not many people who could really hurt him. Now people are in this kind of place, and there is no one of their own around them. There seemed to be countless vicious beasts hidden in the darkness, and when the time was ripe, they would pounce and hurt people. And Wang San...... His face looked distorted and terrifying in the light of the flickering fire, like a demon. Fan Jin originally had a bad opinion of him, but at this time, he was even more suspicious, and said to the door:

"Girl, you have some questions for you. I think we can have a good talk, there's no need to be here, there are taverns around here, we can go to the tavern and talk. ”

Still silent.

There seemed to be no one in the room, and there was no response to Fan Jin's invitation.

Wang San smiled and said, "Master Fan, forget it." No matter how much you shout, she won't come out. This is not a fangsi, and I don't want to go out to respond to the bureau ticket. People can't get out of this alley, otherwise someone will have to bring them back, for fear that they will run away. If you ask her to go to the tavern, she won't dare. If you have something to say, you should go to the room to talk, it is not good to talk here, and when someone looks at her, she will not dare to say anything. ”

Fan Jin nodded, "Okay." Since I have to go to the room to talk, I can't help it. Let's talk about it, let's change it. ”

As he spoke, he shoved the lantern into Wang San's hand, who subconsciously reached out to take the lantern, and Fan Jin took the opportunity to reach out and take the torch in his hand. The flames poured down with the wind, but they were not extinguished after all. Fan Jin looked at the room with a torch, then at Wang San, and suddenly smiled: "Follow the customs of the locals, people go to a strange place, of course they must abide by the rules here." Now that I know your rules, I'll have to talk about my rules as well. ”

As he spoke, he threw the torch into the room, and the torch flipped in the air before landing in the room.

The flames are rising!

Wang San's face changed, his mouth opened, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't want Fan Jin's fist to have landed on his lower abdomen. A punch full of the power of the Yi Jin Sutra blasted back all the words that Wang San wanted to shout, and under the invasion of great pain, the person curled up like a shrimp, Fan Jin's hand knife smashed heavily on his neck, and Wang San's person collapsed to the ground like mud.

Almost at the same time that Wang San fell to the ground, from the open door, two black shadow tigers pounced out. By the light of the fire, it can be seen that the two of them are of medium stature and amazing speed, and they will never be maidens. Fan Jin looked at them, spread his legs and ran towards the mouth of the alley, throwing a few firewood and other things piled up by the door backwards as he ran, or kicking up the broken bricks with his feet, thinking about throwing them away from the pursuers behind him.

After running a short distance, those splashes who were in charge of guarding the bodyguards heard the movement and looked over, some people began to throw things at Fan Jin, and some people held weapons to try to surround them. Fan Jin also picked up a package behind him at this time, ripped off the outer cloth, and held a short gun in his hand. The pursuers and the interception came almost at the same time, and the golden wind suddenly rose.

As soon as the day arrived, a carriage stopped outside the door of the Zheng family's courtyard. The coachman carefully put down the bench and let the two women get out of the car, and then put a thirty-mile beautiful ** person out of the car, the coachman knocked on the courtyard door, said a few words at the door, and saw a Qian Caiyin come out and let the three women into the courtyard.

Under the willow tree, several men were a little inexplicable when they saw this change at first glance, and muttered in a low voice: "Who is this woman?" ”

"I don't know. looks much more beautiful than the woman in this family, although she is older, she is a rare beauty. What should I do about this? ”

"What else can I do, of course, I took it with me."

"Just bring it, the boss hasn't come yet, and I don't know when I'll do it. Besides, there is a coachman, it seems that he is a decent person, and he is afraid that he is not easy to provoke. ”

"No matter how decent it is, it's not a woman? To be honest, even the second class is going to move, so why don't you care if he is decent or not? Do it. ”

As he was talking, Zhu Guochen walked over from a distance with a torch, and several people hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Zhu Guochen said: "How is it, has anything changed?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that there is a guest in his house, three women and a coachman. The three women are all beautiful, but with a coachman, it's inconvenient to start. ”

Zhu Guochen snorted, "It's best to have a coachman, it's just inconvenient for a few people to get it back, and there is a carriage, which saves a lot of effort." Everyone is neat, take people in the car and leave, there is such a big thing today, no one cares about the disappearance of the family. By the time they find out, we'll be done. ”

Liu Rucheng and Liu Qi nodded their heads, two people walked towards the coachman, and the rest rushed towards the door of the Zheng family's courtyard. In the dark night, the demons danced wildly, and the ghosts were longing. In the small courtyard, Qian Caiyin prepared tea and snacks for the visitors with a sincere fear, and said with a shy face: "The master didn't know that Mrs. was coming, otherwise he would have stayed at home, and I hope Mrs. won't be surprised." ”

"Nothing. I also wanted to come to see Fan Gongzi on a whim, since he was in high school, we haven't gotten together. There was a festival at Baoming Temple recently, and I would like to ask you to start writing and draw some portraits of several great donors. I thought he would definitely be at home, but I didn't want to go out at this hour. What did he do, can you tell me about it? ”

The strong aura on Li's body made Qian Caiyin a little afraid, and she spoke in a hesitant manner, not as free and generous as the usual social scenes.

Just as he spoke, an angry rebuke suddenly sounded in the courtyard: "Fighting the street? Immediately, there were several sounds of gold and iron resonating.

Li frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

Qian Caiyin also said inexplicably: "No...... I don't know. ”

At this moment, I heard Fan Zhigao already shouting in the courtyard, "Oh no, there are thieves!" Robbers kill people! ”

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and there is not only a stench in the wind, but also a bloody smell. Outside the window, a fire tree and silver flowers exploded, and the calm street boiled, this night, it is destined not to be peaceful, the trajectory of some people's lives, from this night began to completely change, originally unrelated to each other, from this night, the spinning thread of fate will be entangled in one place, and it will be difficult to separate.
