Chapter 39: The Brooch (Ask for Collection)
"Huh?"
Ye Qian's face was confused, why did he inexplicably have an extra master come out?
Looking at Ye Gan with a dazed face, Ju Wuyi laughed, pointed at Ye Gan and said: "Boy, the one who taught you the craft, since he doesn't let you say it, I won't force it, but his surname is Guo, right?" ”
Hearing Ju Wuyi point out the origin of his teacher, Ye Qian could only nod and said, "Yes, the one who taught me the craft is surnamed Guo, but how do you know about Old Man Ju?" ”
Ju Wuyi stroked his beard, and said happily: "Hehe, there are a number of thieves in the world, roughly divided into two factions, the north and the south, your craft, and the most core of the northern faction, and the old decay is not talented, but also the northern faction of the heir, although now although it is said that in the south of Jiangcheng to settle down, but also an authentic northern faction, your master, is my junior brother." ”
Wang Xiaoxian said: "The heirs of the northern faction...... So, Old Man Ju, do you know Yanzi Li San? ”
Yanzi Li San is a strange person in folklore, this person was active in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, is a thief with great ability, specializing in stealing the property of rich and noble families and distributing it to the poor people, is a rare legend in modern times with a real original form.
Moreover, Yanzi Li San has been put on the TV screen several times, which is the memory of many people's childhood, and Wang Xiaoxian is no exception, so there is this question.
Ju Wuyi calmed down when he heard this question, pondered for a long time, and then sighed for a long time and said: "Yanzi Li San, hey, this person's reputation is the biggest good name for me stealing the door, but it is also the root cause of my theft......
After saying this, Ju Wuyi saw Wang Xiaoxian's face puzzled and confused, but Ye Gan did not have the slightest hint of confusion in his eyes, and knew that Ye Qian also knew the inside story, sighed, and continued: "Little girl, do you know something, this swallow Li San is not one person, but three people. ”
Wang Xiaoxian was frightened by the news: "What? Three people? ”
Ju Wuyi nodded and said: "That's right, it's three people, Yanzi Li San, the folk say that this person's surname is Li, and he has the nickname of Yanzi, so he is called Yanzi Li San, but this is not all right......"
"Swallow is not the name of a certain person, but one of our thieves is called Swallow, in that era, Swallow recruited three amazing disciples surnamed Li, so there is this Swallow Li San's nickname......"
"The four branches of the thief door, eight from the door, these four branches, the swallow originally ranked third, the first is the thrush, the second is the nightingale, the fourth is the lark, and the eight from the door also have their own inheritance names."
Speaking of this, Ju Wuyi picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip before continuing: "Although the old man is not one of the four major branches, he is also the descendant of the Taiping Bird lineage, which ranks first among the Eight Congmen, and Mr. Ye Qianye is also in my lineage. Among the four major branches, when it was passed down to the Republic of China, the thrush line had been broken, leaving only the swallows and larks in the north, and the nightingales in the south. ”
After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Ju Wuyi said again: "As one of the eight outer elements, the thief door has always been inherited in the dark, and it is not a good thing that the reputation is too big...... There are a lot of hidden inheritances in this world, far from my stealing family, little girl, have you ever heard that my thief has such a big rule and such a long history before today? ”
Wang Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "This ...... I really don't know. ”
Ju Wuyi asked again: "Then do you know why our inheritance sects, including the thief sect, are kept secret?" ”
After asking this, without waiting for Wang Xiaoxian to answer, Ju Wuyi asked and replied to himself: "It's all to avoid trouble...... As the old saying goes: learn literature and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's family, but there is also a good saying, that is, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden ......"
"For the big shots, most of those who can write and know martial arts are good bows, and they can hide them when they are not in use, but craftsmen like us belong to the category of lackeys, useful and useful, but they can't be put on the stage, and after being used, they will inevitably be killed and eaten."
Wang Xiaoxian nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Old man Ju, do you mean to say that a hidden sect like the Thief Sect is not treated by the outside world, but its craftsmanship is good, so it never passes on its name in order to protect itself?" ”
Ju Wuyi nodded appreciatively: "That's right, although Yanzi Li San has created a great reputation among the people, but it has also laid the root of the decline of the thief. In this way, how can those dignitaries not hate them? And how can people with insight not want to buy them? ”
"At that time, the world was complicated, the national government wanted to buy them, and he himself wanted to buy them, even those Westerners with high noses and blue eyes still wanted to buy them, you know, they could steal things from high and high in the well-guarded high-ranking households, and they could bring some objects into it unknowingly, and they could use it to set up blame, steal information, and even use it to ...... Assassination. ”
"So the swallow Li San is dead!"
When he said this, Ju Wuyi's eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "If a few people with such ability refuse to be used by others, they can only be killed by others." ”
Wang Xiaoxian nodded, but immediately showed a puzzled look: "However, haven't you also been in and out of Cao Kun's mansion......"
Ju Wuyi sighed and said, "It's different, that time was actually our Taiping Bird lineage and President Cao Kun and President Cao Da joined forces to make a scene, and the purpose at that time was ...... Eh, don't say it, you just need to know that at that time, due to fate, I was chosen to carry this reputation. ”
"And the boss of Yanzi Li Sanzhong, although he is also a good man, but he has a fatal weakness, that is, he has a smoking addiction, in today's words, it is a drug yin, he is addicted to big cigarettes, so after being caught by the national government, the person who interrogated him pinched the tobacco paste, and he recruited everything, including the secret of our theft......"
Seeing Ju Wuyi's painful face, Ye Qian took over the conversation: "What happened after that is not known to the outside world, but it really happened, since the boss of Yanzi Li San confessed, the national government at that time immediately organized manpower and material resources, and together with himself, carried out a large-scale strangulation of the thief. ”
"Eight from the door to break five inheritance, the swallow door is broken, the lark is also greatly affected, almost wiped out, although there are still heirs, but they don't come out to walk, only the southern nightingale line, because the emperor is far away from barely preserved."
"I see......"
Wang Xiaoxian's eyes flashed, she was just a student who was not deeply involved in the world, she had never heard of such a story before, and the participants in this story, the two descendants of the Taiping Bird lineage, were now standing alive in front of her.
At this moment, the green-skinned old man pushed the door and walked in, and when he arrived in front of Ju Wuyi, he glanced at Ye Qian and Wang Xiaoxian with strange expressions.
Ju Wuyi was a little angry when he saw that the green-skinned sixth didn't speak, he knew that the green-skinned sixth definitely didn't get the things back, and said in his heart that these little cubs didn't have a longer face than one another today, so he couldn't help but cold his face, and asked: "Sixth, speak, what about Miss Wang's things?" ”
The green-skinned old man bit his lip and said, "This ...... Ancestor, it was Xiaoba who opened Miss Wang's bag, but Xiaoba is now ...... Missing ......"
With a "snap", Ju Wuyi slapped the table and roared: "What?!" Missing!? ”
The green-skinned sixth knelt on the ground with weak legs: "Yes, old ancestor, you are angry first, you are really missing, I asked a few brothers outside, and they all said that they didn't see the eighth child." ”
Ye Qian and Wang Xiaoxian looked at each other, and before Ye Qian could think of a wording, Wang Xiaoxian took the lead in speaking: "Old man Ju, there are nothing too important in the bag I lost, but there is a brooch that my mother left me, no matter what, I want to get it back, and I am willing to pay as much as I want." ”
Ju Wuyi's face was about to turn red as Guan Gong, and the reality swept his face too much: "I'm sorry, Miss Wang, it's the old man who is not strict in discipline, but don't worry, within three days, I will definitely get the things back for you." ”
Ye Qian's thinking was still clear at this time, he turned his head to Wang Xiaoxian and asked, "Xiaoxian, do you have any photos of your brooch?" ”
Wang Xiaoxian nodded, took out his mobile phone from his bag, flipped through the album, and then put it in front of Ye Qian: "Oh, that's it, although it looks like gold, it's actually made of bronze, it's not valuable, it's more commemorative." ”
Ye Qian took the phone and looked at it, he was immediately shocked, and immediately sent the phone to Ju Wuyi, and said, "Old man Ju, this brooch, see if it is familiar......
