Chapter 300: Undercurrents are surging
Most of the houses are wooden, with two or three floors, and sometimes small brick and tile bungalows dotted among them.
All kinds of signboards are hung all over the streets, there are early risers hurrying through the streets, and vendors in short costumes are picking picks and selling all kinds of snacks, such as bean curd porridge, steamed buns, and so on.
Everything has a quaint beauty, but like those small buildings that have lasted for years, they exude a slightly dilapidated atmosphere.
Lu Yuan bought a lot of steamed buns, and then ordered bean curd porridge and ate the steamed buns, leisurely like those rich young masters.
As the sky brightens, the streets gradually become more and more pedestrians, shops and restaurants open one after another, and the whole city seems to wake up from a deep sleep, gradually exuding vitality.
After eating and drinking, he found a small shop and bought toothpaste and toothbrushes and other utensils, and then he walked back with a big bag of steamed buns.
When approaching the vicinity of the residential building, Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to inadvertently turn his head and start looking, and then walked back with nothing.
A hidden window was pushed open, and the man with a fierce face and fierce eyes snorted coldly: "I can't think of this guy, I'm quite vigilant!" β
"Yes, the kung fu in your hands is not weak!"
A man said with a smile: "Not only is the kung fu at hand not weak, but also has something to do with the military, otherwise how dare he borrow my money and not pay it back?" Master Hu, you must help me this time, otherwise, my shop will not be able to open - if you don't repay the borrowed money, what else will you do in this business? β
"Don't worry, shopkeeper Guo, what kind of friendship do we have?"
Known as the Tiger Master, it is naturally Luo Qinghu, the boss of the Pai Gang, there are hundreds of people in Wuhan who eat under his hands, and ordinary officials have to give him some face, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about friendship, just say that this person dares to owe money on my territory and not pay it back, just don't take our Pai Gang in his eyes - leave this matter to me, I will find a way to get him!" β
"Well, thank you so much!"
The shopkeeper Guo pushed over a wooden box and said: "This is a little caution on our part, and I hope that the tiger master will smile and accept it, after the matter is completed, there will be a good reward!" β
The lid was opened, and the yellow, orange, and orange pieces were all gold leaves, and there were hundreds of taels of heavy ones, and Luo Qinghu was even happier when he smiled.
"But Master Tiger, after all, this matter involves the military and officials, Master Tiger, you have to be more secretive, don't pinch the handle!" Guo shopkeeper said.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've come out to mix, we see the rules of the road very clearly!" Luo Qinghu laughed, and then left.
In the small building, several guards squatted at the door, Wang Ma Gong and others in the house also got up, and the big bear rubbed his stomach and collapsed on the sofa with a bitter face: "This is too deductible, such a beautiful small western-style building, there is nothing to eat in the house - the surname Xiao doesn't want to starve us to death, right?" β
"If you want to starve to death, you will starve to death, you beat him, and we didn't offend him!" Wang Ma pole said.
Niu Pimple cried and said with a sad face: "Brother Yuan doesn't know where to go, and he hasn't ......come back yet."
"Ma Pole, you go and ask those guards to see if you can borrow some money, and then pay him back when we have it - we are the people arranged by Commander Xiao, and they will not be afraid that we will not repay the debt!" Yang Zongman said.
"You old goat, why don't you go yourself!" Wang Ma Zhu's eyes widened.
"Of the few of us, you are ...... smart"
Yang Zongman said: "Besides, you are hungry, I am not hungry, I can withstand it!" β
"Humph!"
Wang Mazhuan snorted twice, put on a clever look and said proudly: "In terms of cleverness, in addition to deserters, there are only me, so I'll try......" and then walked towards a few guards.
"Why do you think we're hungry now?"
As soon as they heard the meaning of Wang Mazhuan's coming, several guards suddenly shouted angrily, they were polite enough to Lu Yuan, and they didn't have to be polite to Wang Mazhuan and the others.
"Why?"
Wang Mazhuan's eyes widened and he screamed: "This is Wuhan, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, could it be that your Shangguan also has the courage to drink the blood of soldiers here?" β
It is a common practice in the current barracks for officers to deduct military salaries and eat empty quotas, and officers of all sizes simply regard it as a way to make a fortune.
"Not really!"
Several guards cried and said, "But you road chief, you borrowed all the money from us, and now we don't have money to eat!" β
"Oh no, it's bad, the deserter turtle borrowed money to run the ball!"
Wang Ma Gong suddenly laughed, and ran back backwards, and the big bear and the others all laughed, seeing that a few more people were starving with them, so they felt less hungry.
A few guards stared at each other angrily, but there was nothing they could do, after all, they were guests brought by Shangfeng, not to mention that they also knew that these guys were not good at all, but if they really fought, they were not enough to see at all.
"Lu Yuan, you come out for me!"
At this moment, a large group of people rushed into the courtyard, each holding a wooden stick with a fierce look, and one of them shouted loudly.
"You, what are you doing? Do you know whose place this is, and how dare you trespass? β
Several guards shouted, and pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, but there were only three or four of them, and there were dozens of people on the opposite side, so their legs trembled in fright, and the rifles they held in their hands were not much stronger than burning sticks.
"We're looking for a long way, it's none of your business, if you don't want to die, get out!"
With a burst of shouting, someone in the crowd pulled out a short gun, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed forward, and several guards shrank aside in a trembling manner and did not speak.
"What are you looking for him, he's not here now, come back later!" β³β§β³β§
Yang Zongman and the others came out, they had seen all kinds of battles, this kind of small scene didn't take it to heart at all, and they put up enough shelves one by one, and they simply had the bearing that Mount Tai collapsed before they didn't change their faces.
"Come back later? Do you think Lao Tzu is here to invite you to dinner? β
The man in the lead smiled with a gloomy face: "You who Lao Tzu remembers, you are the few veterans who follow Lu Yuan, right!" β
"Hey, it's you?"
As soon as the man spoke, Wang Mazhuan immediately recognized the other party, and said with a strange smile: "Aren't you the commissioner Chen who was directly scared of the deserter who pointed a gun to his head in Fenglindu and peed his pants?" Why, I wasn't scared to death that day, and now I want to do it again? β
The person who came was Chen Liang of the Chen family.
At the Fenglin Ferry, Lu Yuan put a gun to his head, almost scared him crazy, that incident was simply regarded by him as a great shame, and it became a laughing stock among the Chen family and friends, and now he was reminded of the old matter of Wang Ma Pole, and his eyes immediately turned red with anger, and he roared loudly: "One more time?" I'm going to let you bastards know how good I am todayβhit me! β
