Chapter 119: The Storm Rises
Changxingfang is a small corner composed of several streets in Kaifeng Mansion in the capital, located in the southwest corner of the city wall. Here, there are no officials patrolling during the day, no one patrolling at night, and no one even comes to watch.
Because the people of Changxingfang are poor! The poor do not enjoy these benefits. If someone says that the whole Bianjing is very prosperous, then Changxingfang gave him a resounding slap in the face with his current situation!
Feng Manlou, Dong Chao, Xue Ba, Sun Hu, Wang Ying, plus Zhao Yuankan took Li Zhong and a few guards, changed into civilian clothes, and came to Changxingfang.
Zhao Yuanzuo was not so free today, so he and Zhao Yuankan went to ask the queen early in the morning, but Zhao Yuankan came back, but Zhao Yuanzuo was still there, thinking that he was kept by the queen.
Zhao Yuankan doesn't care about his eldest brother at the moment, although this Changxingfang is very poor, but all kinds of entertainment, it can be said that there are all kinds of tricks.
Dong Chao walked in from the door of a relatively large gambling house, but saw that it was bustling inside, so lively, don't look at this Changxingfang poor, I didn't expect that there were still a lot of people in the casino, and they all gambled so much.
Dong Chao didn't pay attention, stopped a man in a somewhat shabby clothes, and asked, "Can Hu Erlang be here?" ”
The man looked at Dong Chao, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, he didn't have a patch, and he didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Dong Chao.
Dong Chao married ten cents from his pocket and put it in his hands. The man looked at it, and without saying a word, turned his head and squeezed over the table.
Isn't that a lie? Where could Dong Chao tolerate him to be so presumptuous, he grabbed his neck in the past, and lifted him out like a chicken.
The man was lifted out and shouted loudly: "Ninth Master, help!" Ninth Master, help! ”
With the shouting of this life, he saw a big man rushing out and said to Dong Chao: "This brother, I don't know if you come from the light or the dark?" ”
This is a sentence on the rivers and lakes, if you come from the dark, you are the ** character, and if you come from the light, you are the white character.
Dong Chao said: "Coming from the bright place, this kid has eyes and doesn't know how to lift, and he dares to lie to my uncle!" ”
When the big man heard this, it turned out to be a person from the government, and said: "This good man, it seems, was also a figure in the rivers and lakes, do you know the rules of our casino?" ”
Dong Chao asked, "What rules?" ”
The big man said: "The rules of our casino, personal grievances, will be resolved outside!" No fights in the casino! ”
Dong Chao smiled: "I don't know what a hero calls him, have you ever seen me about to take this person out?" ”
The big man said: "In the lower is the Zhuang master of this gambling house, who specializes in watching the village, surnamed Wang, ranked ninth, so everyone is called Wang Jiu in the lower place!" The rules of our gambling house are not allowed to make trouble in the gambling house, brother, does this mean that we are making trouble in our gambling house? ”
The scoundrel who was caught by Dong Chao took the opportunity to say: "Ninth Master, save me, this person is fierce and evil, it's not so powerful, this is going to eat me alive." I don't want to leave the gambling house yet, I can't let him break the rules here! ”
And the man wept, and cried out.
Wang Jiu shouted: "Enough, you are a good Hu Er, you must have cheated other people's money, so you came to the door!" ”
Dong Chao heard this, it turned out that the man he grabbed in his hand was Hu Erlang, it really didn't take any effort to come, as for dealing with these ** characters, Dong Chao never thought about it, what face is not face, if you want to give it, you can give it, and if you don't want to give it, you don't need to give it. It's still your own task.
But I heard Dong Chao say: "Wang Jiuye, I'm really sorry, brother, I have official business, so I want to arrest this Hu Erlang, if you offend, I hope Haihan!" ”
When Wang Jiu heard this, he said: "Official, since this is the case, we have to mention the rules here, everyone in the Changxingfang area knows that even if there is a big revenge for killing his father, if he enters our gambling house, he is not allowed to make trouble." If the officials have to be like this, then don't blame the villains for being rude! ”
Dong Chao smiled: "See how rude you are? Just come! After speaking, he held Hu Er with one hand and guarded with the other.
After all, Wang Jiuye is a character who has been in this gambling house for a long time, how can he put this man in his eyes, even if he is an official, but he is not afraid, this ** character, but it doesn't matter what official you are or not.
So, with a wave of Wang Jiu's hand, those thugs surrounded him.
Seeing this, Dong Chao knew that he could only fight now, and he did not hesitate, so he fought directly, but after only three or five rounds, the minions in front of him were knocked to the ground. These minions were originally just characters who bullied the weak and feared the hard, but seeing that Dong Chao was so powerful, they surrounded them one after another and didn't dare to step forward.
How could Wang Jiu let Dong Chao leave like this, if this is the case, he will not be able to open this gambling house in the future, and there will be more and more trouble, and this gambling house will not be able to cope with it.
Today, we must save this Hu Er and save the face of the casino. This is Wang Jiu's idea. Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Give it to me, take down this troublemaker, I will be rewarded for the ninth master!" If he runs away, the big treasurer will not skin you! ”
For a while, the gangsters in these gambling houses began to fight again, and all of them were dead. Dong Chao originally left some affection, but now when he sees this, he doesn't dare to show mercy at all, and the shot is also very heavy, and the person who was knocked down can't get up directly in the place.
However, grabbing that Hu Er with one hand, and dealing with so many people with one hand, he still couldn't cope with it, and suddenly, his head hurt, but he was beaten hard from behind!
Dong Chao turned around and shouted, "Look for death!" "Grab the man, and don't care about the stick that rains down on his back. smashed the man into the street outside, and suddenly he only heard a "bang", but he saw the man's head hit the ground, and suddenly, his brain was thrown out, and he couldn't survive.
And Dong Chao was beaten with countless sticks on his back, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, and when he came back to his senses, those gangsters with sticks were so frightened that they retreated!
Seeing this, Wang Jiu shouted: "Brother, give it to me, this person killed our brother in the gambling house." Take it down and avenge our brothers! ”
As soon as Wang Jiu shouted like this, these thugs, the morale that was frightened, was encouraged a little, looked at Dong Chao, and rushed forward again.
Dong Chao grabbed Hu Er's hand, but still refused to let go, no matter how he struggled, he could never get rid of it. If Dong Chao puts Hu Er down, not to mention the thugs who can win so many battles, at least there is no problem in escaping.
However, Dong Chao knew that everyone was scattered to find this Hu Er, but it took a lot of energy, and he was also the most critical figure of Lord Feng, so he refused to give up.
Dong Chao gradually felt that he couldn't support it, and these thugs saw that Dong Chao was difficult to fight with one hand, and they became even more crazy, plus Dong Chao was already injured.
Gradually, Dong Chao was hit more and more places. At this moment, Feng Manlou and Zhao Yuankan, who came out of a gambling house just now, saw a person dying on the street on the spot, so they rushed over. If you look closely, it is a person who has been thrown to death, and his head is on the ground. looked at it again, but saw Dong Chao not far from the door of the gambling house, fighting with those people in the gambling house.
And Dong Chao seems to be seriously injured. Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Stop!" ”
The thugs of those gambling houses, seeing that they have gained the upper hand, where do they dare to stop, Zhao Yuankan saw this, it was when he behaved, there were still three or four guards by his side, and the leader of the guards, Li Zhong, was still there. He immediately ordered: "Take down all these people for me!" ”
Zhao Yuankan is very confident in his heart, yes, he is very confident. Because these people are just thugs in some gambling houses, and all of them are elites from the palace, soldiers selected from the 800,000 forbidden army.
Of course, Li Zhong didn't say anything, took two guards, and directly drew out his saber, and after entering, those thugs were about to stop them, but when they saw that these people were blocked, they immediately killed them, as if they were not afraid of making a big deal. In a short time, he killed four or five people and immediately fell to the ground.
In a place like Changxingfang, fights and brawls happen every day, but no one pays attention to them at all, but it is rare to see something as ruthless and so ferocious. The patrolling officials can no longer act as if nothing is happening. wanted to step forward to stop it, but when he saw Zhao Yuankan's group of people, he didn't dare at all, so he hurriedly ran to the Kaifeng Mansion to report.
And the fight here has spread, and soon Xue Ba and Sun Hu rushed over. With the addition of a new force, soon, all the people in the gambling house were captured, including that Wang Jiu! However, most of these gangsters were scared out of their minds.
Dong Chao was injured, and when he saw everyone coming in, he suddenly fell to the place, Xue Ba rushed up, held Dong Chao, and asked, "Brother, brother is okay?" ”
Dong Chao looked at Xue Ba, smiled, tilted his head suddenly, and fainted.
Seeing this, Feng Manlou hurriedly ordered Xue Ba: "Quick, take him to see the doctor!" At this moment, I heard a voice shouting, "Stop!" Take it all down to this official! ”
Feng Manlou turned his head to see that it was an official, with a large group of officials here! As soon as you look at these officials, you will know that they are not ordinary yamen, they are all fierce and abnormal, and they are majestic and high-spirited!
Feng Manlou quickly guessed that this official should be an official of Kaifeng Mansion, and these officials should also be officials of Kaifeng Mansion. Because Kaifeng Mansion is the capital of the world, this Kaifeng Mansion is extremely important, after all, it is not necessary to maintain the security of the capital.
From the beginning of the Five Dynasties, the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin was held by the prince of the imperial family, and his main responsibility was to observe the people's situation and govern Gyeonggi. However, in fact, it is still a false name.
However, most of the people who served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion were de facto princes. For example, Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong in the Later Zhou Dynasty also served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. Chai Rong said that he was lucky, but his throne was inherited from his uncle. His uncle was Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei was already old at that time, and he had no heirs, so he followed the example of the previous dynasty and made Chai Rong the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion and became a quasi-prince, in case he gave birth to a son one day, it would be easy to change!
The court of the five dynasties changed frequently, and many similar things happened. Therefore, the Song Dynasty also inherited this system. Therefore, it is said that Zhao Tingmei is the quasi-prince. Despite this, the quasi-prince is not yet a prince.
The prince who served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion was only in name and did not care about things, and it was Shao Yin or the temporarily appointed prefect who was in charge. There are judges, magistrates, courts, and six cao officials.
The person who came was the official of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Huailu. I saw Zhao Huailu shouting: "Take it all down for this official!" "This pusher is also an official of the fifth grade, so he can be regarded as a big official. When the people saw this, they avoided it.
