Chapter 47: Negotiation (8)
In the jar at the south end of Xiaogezhuang in Yanqing County, Ge Erdan, the elder brother who holds the flag, is a well-known second-rate son in the whole village. The family business was originally a bit bit, and Lao Tzu left him seventeen or eighteen acres of watered land on the riverside before his negligence. The land that is inconvenient to use in the north is not worth a few dollars, and this water is worth a few pennies. As a result, in less than two years, he blew foreign cigarettes, went to the big kang, and even entered Yanjing City to listen to the big opera scholars and walk around the alleys, it was fashionable to play with the Xianggong, and he also looked at it hotly, but this Xianggong was more than ten times more expensive than a bitch, not his kind of rural braincase. In the blink of an eye, this bit of belongings was kicked to the brim.
However, this Ge Erdan is more broad-minded than the local people in his hometown, and he has also made a few friends. If you don't have a family business, you have to find another way to live, and the second egg's first choice is actually to teach. It's a pity that he is not a big man, and the foreign religion is very tolerant of big people joining the church, and if he wants to be an ordinary parishioner, he can't get through the hurdle of smoking a lot. There are also many rules for ordinary people, and there are also green-skinned characters like him in the sect, and these people rely on the religion to make the greatest profit and the most harmful disaster. People have long occupied a position, and if they can speak next to the priest and priest, he will be able to speak in foreign language, how can he get in!
I couldn't think about it now, and I looked at the Xiangjiao Boxing Club again. Over the years, the messengers of the Xiangjiao Sect have gone crazy and are expanding their power everywhere, as long as you are bold enough to dare to blow in front of them. How many friends do I have in a certain village, what kind of friendship do I have with a certain village, how many four-petal fire guns are hidden under my kang, and how many seven-star brothers do I have learned under the hands of a high-ranking official, and how many brothers are there who rely on my arms............ Those Venerables of the Xiangjiao praised you for two sentences, and immediately passed on to you the characters of the secret orders of the Xiangjiao, and recognized the apprentices, which can be regarded as the children of the Xiangjiao for several generations. Ge Erdan is bold and has a very unscrupulous temperament, and in the eyes of several Dharma Protector Venerables, he can be regarded as an object worth cultivating. Although it is not the generation that Venerable Yan personally passed on, after passing the incense altar, it is also the identity of the disciple again, and it can be regarded as mixed into the incense sect.
However, this incense sect is not as rich and powerful as the church, and it has face in front of the government. Even if it is a character at the level of Venerable Yan's personal disciples, he has to run by himself, and he has to pay for food and accommodation out of his own pocket, some of them are okay at home, but they are not at home, and it is not uncommon for them to go hungry for two or three meals when they go to a strange place to teach the Fa. These of them passed on to their children, and the incense sect did not give them a penny, but they also sent a lot of incense money to the master, in exchange for an order, so that they could go back to their hometown to set up an altar.
Three or five years ago, Ge Erdan, who returned to his hometown to set up an altar, was very unsatisfactory. The countrymen are timid and honest, and after the Xiangjiao uprising in the eighth year of Guangxu, the government did not like to see this boxer. Although Ge Erdan recruited a few idlers of the same kind and set up an altar, who would use his eyelids to clamp him! The Shaolin Association in the township who are serious about practicing boxing and self-protection also treat them as wild roads. When he was the most depressed, Ge Erdan was afraid that even Senior Brother Liu, the eldest son of Liu, who was cornered by them, would be even more bleak.
Just when Ge Erdan was thinking about changing careers, the wind direction suddenly changed in the past two years, especially recently, there was news that the government did not dare to manage the boxing club, and there were even rumors that the boxing club would select the strong, train a new army, and support the Qing Dynasty! Ge Erdan, who has no way out, has a horizontal heart, even if the Xiangjiao wants to choose the elite, he can't find such a light pole as him, and it is useless for him, Venerable Yan, to pass on the identity of the disciple, Tong Zhili, the same disciple as him, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people!
The words of a supernumerary strong class who went to the countryside to urge the department were at this time to strengthen the courage of the second master. He also had a friendship with Second Master Ge back then, leaning on the couch and foaming each other. Seeing that he was down, he couldn't help but say more: "I heard that you are also fragrant, why are you so virtuous?" In other places, the government can't take care of it! Set up the tablet, go to the entrance of the yamen, and when the official doesn't care whether it is the main hall or the right hall, he has to change into big clothes and come out to salute, what kind of face is this! Originally, when I went to Xiaogezhuang this time, I heard that you are the second apprentice of Venerable Yan, and I wanted to see if you could help find a way. Let's find another way............"
Ge Erye's eyes were red at the moment, and the last broken quilt was replaced by two taels of soju and poured down, and when it was winter, he was bare-chested, with braids on the top of his head, and invited a tablet who didn't know which way the gods were on, and he went to Yanqing County! From the moment he entered the gate of the county seat, he shouted with red eyes: "Lao Tzu is the personal disciple of Venerable Yan!" According to the law, the regiment was set up in Yanqing, and in the city pass, I looked at me, and the civil officials stopped the sedan chair, and the military attache dismounted! The lifeless old mother came to the world, purifying all sentient beings! β
shouted all the way to the county yamen, followed by I don't know how many people watched the excitement! At this time, there are actually several regiments in Yanqing County, and there are also in the county, all of which have been rubbed by the county master. When he arrived at the yamen, the county master didn't know which way the fairy came over again, anyway, he was used to it, Ge Erye wrapped so many people to watch the excitement come over, and the momentum was very good, how did the county master know that others came to see the excitement! More is better than less, and after changing into big clothes, he came over and solemnly saluted the broken tablet in his arms. At that moment, it aroused exclamations, and there was another amazing big brother in Yanqing County!
The incense altar in the county town was naturally also alarmed, come and see where it came from, two hundred and five, and the next pair of secret spells can be used, this is considered to be their own family. Xiao Gezhuang doesn't have an incense altar anyway, he is willing to go back and make trouble as much as he wants, as long as he doesn't grab the county territory. The senior brother of the county town Xiangtan politely entertained Ge Erdan with a good meal, changed his rags into three layers of leather for him to wear away, and set up a big car, and a few strong men sent him back to his hometown.
The news of Ge Erdan's big trouble in the county town naturally quickly returned to Xiaogezhuang. The countrymen are shallow-eyed, and Xiaogezhuang is not a famous gentleman, they are all rich people. Ge Erdan didn't even dare to offend the county master, how can this be! In addition, the rumors are now saying that the incense sect is in power, and where and where the big family who offended them has fallen into a miserable appearance, besides, maybe this guy really learned some spells from his motherless mother, and he can't stand it when he burns the house in the middle of the night!
The local big family immediately pooled the money, set up an altar for Ge Erdan, sent white flour sesame oil, prepared incense, and went to the altar one by one to salute. Once this momentum rises, it is out of control, the news of the development of incense in various places also helps to fan the flames, unwilling to be lonely, most of the masters who are bored during the winter leisure period quickly join the meeting, and the momentum will rise as soon as there are many people, and the Zhuangzi will stick a rune on the top of the house, and do not burn incense, once the childless old mother is born, burn your house and waste your land! If you enter the incense sect, you will not be chased by the government, you will not be bullied by the foreign religion, and the emperor will also give you a crystal top when he chooses to train into a new army!
In order to keep the peace, the common people also hurriedly joined the church. The tricks that Xiangjiao has always played are all tricks of the rivers and lakes, and the tricks of the Welcoming God Contest are a lot of miscellaneous, and the Buddhism and Taoism are a furnace, and they can't be more lively. If you break a big stone in your chest, I will put a silver gun in my throat, and if you can be an iron sand gun, I will dare to fish for copper coins in the oil pot. It was more lively than anything else, and the people who entered the incense altar were happy all day long. After pretending to be a ghost for a long time, people have been in this atmosphere for a long time, and they have gradually become crazy, from top to bottom, everyone is chattering, even the most shy big girl and little daughter-in-law have changed into red clothes, tied a red head rope, and carried a basket and held a fan all day long. He burned down Maozilou and destroyed the Jesuit Church. Kill the Oriental ghost and make trouble with the big head again. β
In such an atmosphere, Ge Erye's little words are not as good as Zhongtian. The white noodles were sick to their stomachs and nauseous, and in the past two days, even the braised pork was opened on the dinner table, and they shook their heads and thought they were greasy, saying that they wanted to fast. As for women, are they still missing? Not to mention that Xiao Gezhuang's famous broken shoes that sell big kang are already the harem of his second master. Even the big girl of Huanghua is not untouchable, every night in the dark room touches the incense and invites God, and the second master Ge is full of interest.
The only thing that made the second master feel a little unhappy was that the gentlemen who practiced Shaolin in Zhuangzi would protect their families and hometowns, they originally looked down on the second master, and the second master was downtrodden at that time, but he didn't say anything. But what kind of majesty is the second master now? Seeing that the Xiangjiao was about to enter Yanjing City, those guys would rather find a way to build the altar by themselves than mix with them! To be honest, Ge Qitai's kid who raised the altar in the north, even if he raised the altar, his momentum was far inferior to that of the second master, and even if he asked God to burn incense, it was mostly perfunctory. Naturally, it is impossible to compare with his real brand, but when is it now? News has already spread in the city, and the imperial court is about to officially select a regiment to train the new army and enter Yanjing City, and everyone has a top. Whoever is powerful now will definitely take advantage, other regiments are desperately expanding their power, and there are also people who express their hope to Ge Erye that he can go over and burn a burner of incense. The second master is ambitious, and he is unwilling to give others a hand, but seeing that the guys in the north can't eat and swallow, the stones in the pit are smelly and hard, those guys are really strong men who practice boxing and fight their muscles and bones, if they get them, when the new army is chosen, the second master Ge even has the hope of leading a battalion alone!
But in this world, unsatisfactory things are ten **............ Ge Erye, who had a lot of thoughts, even thought about it, that group of Shaolin Club, when Xu Datou was recruiting troops in Zhili, there were five or seven men among them who went to add Xu Datou's demon army, and their Xiangjiao was to help Qing and destroy Xu, why did they give them the name of Xiangjiao? Are you looking for a way to ask Venerable Dao Yan to come down and destroy these guys?
Today, in order to ponder this matter, the second master went to the dark room to touch the incense and invite God at night, so he returned to the house early, lay on the kang, and leaned on the kang with the nickname Xiaohua shoes, just kept thinking.
The little flower shoes are in their early thirties, oily head and bare face, wrapped in small feet, and pinched at a small waist, which is very amorous. Before he was defeated, he was going to marry one with him, and when he saw that he sold his house and land, he was lazy to even take care of him. Now that he Ge Erye got up again, the little flower shoes flew back into his arms. The second master misses the old, and the little flower shoes really have two loose hands on the bed, and now he is sitting firmly in the position of Ge Erdan's harem room, and the other broken shoes that he hated tied her little paper man pumped with the soles of his shoes: "What's so good about this scratching girl?" Rely on one to kill one, you two eggs are waiting for the loser! β
Seeing that Ge Erdan was thinking heavily, Xiaohua shoes rubbed on him: "What kind of mind are you anxious?" Now I eat oil, I wear silk, and I have a cabinet of silver for incense, and the ocean is white and swaying! I can't sleep here at night! It's not fun to tease you, which yellow flower girl did you touch when you invited God? With the newcomer forgetting the old, you can rest assured, the old lady is interesting! When it's time to leave, the old lady pats her ass and leaves! Neither blame you nor slander you! β
Ge Erdan was full of lawsuits, and when he heard this woman speak, he was so annoyed that he slapped her big buttocks: "You girl knows everything!" What's wrong with eating oil and wearing silk? The money is over when it is gone, maybe it is a long job, once the limelight passes, this money can still stay in the hand? Now that the court wants to touch us, we will take a top in our hands, and the rice bowl will change color! You, you don't want to make a fortune on you? When the time comes, serious Mrs. Xian! β
He touched his hot forehead and sighed with emotion: "People, it's very fake." There is no time for contentment...... I didn't dare to expect this kind of life at the beginning, but now that I have it, I think about it more............"
Xiaohua Shoes couldn't understand the troubles of a successful person like the second master now, so he just bit his lip and looked at him with watery eyes: "Amitabha, fate............ I didn't build that many bridges in my previous life! It's really good to grab a few hundred pieces of ocean in your hand at the right time............ If you're not honest now, you ruthless and short-lived guy, will you still expect you to marry me in the future? Speaking of which, you only promised me 20 yuan yesterday to make a head, why is there no sound today? β
Second Master Ge looked at the wind scratching girls in his arms, looking at her pretty appearance, the fire also came up a little, and his voice became thicker: "Your twenty yuan is indispensable!" It's refreshing to accompany Lao Tzu, so I'll open the cabinet for you! As he spoke, he arched around his little flower shoes.
Xiaohua Shoe half-pushed and half-pushed him, but writhed in his arms: "I just need Xu Datou!" This money is new, the condition is good, there are many other foreign money, don't fool the old lady with this! β
"You are my living Guanyin grandmother, whatever you say, it's what you ............" Second Master Ge only cared about pulling his trouser belt, and now it was an evil fire. When the two of them were about to roll into a ball, they heard a sound outside the dark window, and the sound of a hard object hitting a person, and the muffled sound of a person falling to the ground, which spread far and wide in this quiet night. I don't know if it was the incense room that was alarmed, those big girls and little daughters-in-law who had fairy fate were invited to pray for God to descend at night, and in front of them may be a certain senior brother who presided over the sΓ©ance tonight, so he shouted in a rough voice: "Who! Then there was the crisp sound of bones breaking, followed by a scream that seemed like a throat tearing!
In the end, it was the screams of those big girls and little daughters-in-law who screamed loudly!
Ge Erye rolled off the kang with his bare buttocks and went to pick up the pouting musket under the pillow - this is a good thing to shoot foreign bullets, and now there are groups everywhere, there are few masters who can fight this kind of musket, and foreign bullets are even more difficult to find. This pouting handle was sold for eighty taels! But the little flower shoes just pressed on the pillow and shivered, and after a while, where could they be pulled out! Second Master Ge was in a hurry, roared lowly, and ripped off this half-naked girl who exposed two balls of white flesh, reached out and grabbed the gun, and all that turned in his heart was just a thought: "Where did this person come from?" Is it the altar of Ge Qitai in Beitou? The conscience of heaven and earth, Lao Tzu just moved his mind, and he hasn't started to get you yet! β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ disturbed Ge Erye's spring dream, it was naturally Yuan Shikai and his party.
Yuan Shikai and his four elite subordinates, one person with two revolvers, in addition to the twelve bullets on the chamber, each of them also had a bullet belt wrapped around their waists. The preparation is to be prepared to break in if there are many people.
Looking at their murderous and indifferent plagiarism, Senior Brother Liu, the eldest son of Liu, who was forcibly coerced by them, almost peed his pants along the way.
Where is the green smoke coming from the tomb of his ancestors, provoking this way to kill the gods!
On the occasion of Yuan Shikai's fame, it was the sky that was not afraid of the earth, Anzhou's 7,000 routs rushed to the city, and there were thousands of elite chasing and chasing behind him. Several of the entourage, all of whom were selected by the Praetorian Guard, also didn't take the scene in front of them to heart.
Yuan Shikai's idea is very simple, this eldest son of Liu can only be his puppet without a doubt. But to know more information about the chaos in the north, the only way to help this eldest son of Liu take the position! The combination of rivers and lakes is all highly respected, so he will give Liu Changzi the strength to grab the territory! Before Yuan Shikai joined the North Korean Qing Army, he was also half a ranger in his hometown Xiangcheng, saying that he was a child of a family, calling friends to study, God knows what kind of belongings he was doing in his hometown at that time, otherwise with his out-and-out identity as a child of the family, there are so many ways to go, why can't he even pass the Xiucai exam?
With the current Xu Yifan and him changing places, at this juncture when the rivers and lakes are competing for dominance and playing singles, there is not necessarily Yuan Shikai so spicy!
When they arrived at the incense altar of Second Master Ge in the south of Zhuangzi, Yuan Shikai and the others were even a little disappointed. Compared with the excitement of the day, pretending to be a ghost, the crowd is surging. At night, it's a lot more deserted!
The countrymen have always slept after dark, and these things make them doubly exhausted during the day, and they all sneak back to their homes to sleep at night. Only Ge Erdan's most henchmen stayed in the incense altar and engaged in their things. There wasn't even a single person at the door who was on guard!
Yuan Shikai took a few of his subordinates who were holding back their strength, full of preparations to let these guys who claimed to destroy their Xu Dashuai taste the iron fist of the Praetorian Guard. Now all of them are wry smiles. Yuan Shikai also let go of the spirit of the mention, and waved his hand: "I really looked at them............ Just swagger in like this, if you can't shoot, don't shoot, these guys treat them as opponents, it's really a loss of my surname............ Take out that Second Master Ge and let him recognize our Senior Brother Liu, which way of the immortal is! β
He turned his gaze, stared at the trembling eldest son Liu, and asked lightly, "Senior Brother Liu, are you okay?" The matter has come to this point, Venerable Yan, whether you can speak or not, brother asks you for the truth, senior brother! β
Looking at Yuan Shikai's hand pressing the six-wheeled hand cannon on his waist, Liu Changzi swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty, and nodded like pounding garlic: "Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye, I don't dare to lie to you if I lie to my mother, do you?" Venerable Yan originally preached the Dharma of more than forty people in Kangzhuang, and his brother talked to him the most, a full five sentences! Every time he came over the next year, he would call out his brother's name, and I, the signboard of Venerable Yan's personal disciple, couldn't be stronger! β
Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and smiled: "Nacheng, the wealth of our brother in the second half of his life is on you, senior brother!" In the future, our brothers will come out, and no one will forget you, senior brother! β
As soon as he said that, he waved his hand, and several of his entourages had rushed into the door of the incense altar lightly. Yuan Shikai mixed with Liu's eldest son in one hand, took out a pistol in the other, and strode in.
In the incense altar, there are very few guys who can be on duty outside, and this courtyard is not fighting, except for knocking down a stupid boy who came out to pee at the second gate, until he entered the inner courtyard, he was considered to have stabbed the hornet's nest of this incense altar. In the inner courtyard, the main room is the bedroom of Ge Erye, and the west wing room is the place to touch the incense and invite God at night. Second Master Ge's harem is not so big, and the other concubines have to go back to their own homes to sleep if they don't sleep tonight.
Hearing a few people rushing into the inner courtyard, a certain senior brother who was happy to touch the fragrance rushed out, and before he could see anyone, he scolded loudly, and only then did he scold a word, Yuan Shikai's subordinates had already rushed over and twisted his arm! The senior brother screamed miserably, rolling on the ground and curling up like a man. The women who heard the screams rushed out, and under the faint light of the stars and moon, they saw several strong men standing in the black ground, swarthy and dangerous, and their senior brothers rolling on the ground crying and howling. These girls and daughters-in-law are combed with double buns when they touch the incense, and now the fairy fate is particularly heavy, just a belly pocket draped on the body, and the senior brother of the practice of magic pinched all over the body blue and purple, seeing this scene in front of him, the basket fan with mana is not in the hand, the first reaction of the big guy is to scream out, the timid one has already held his arms and is soft on the ground, and the bold one is headless and the fly is also spinning around, wanting to rush out. The yard was a mess.
Yuan Shikai came in with Liu Changzi, he and his subordinates never thought that what they bumped into was such a scene!
Several of his subordinates stayed there, and the incense methods were too evil. Yuan Shikai shouted: "What else to see!" Never seen a woman? rushed to the main room and took out the Ge Erdan who deceived the teacher and destroyed the law! β
Several of his subordinates immediately reacted and promised loudly, someone had already rushed towards the main room with the closed door first, and only then did he kick the door open, and he saw a sudden flash of firelight, and a loud bang, and the brother who kicked the door reacted quickly, and he fell backwards stiffly, only to feel the hot bullet, and flew over after grazing his scalp!
The bullet dragged along with a sharp whistling sound, and was hitting a woman who was slamming into the ground, screaming and knocking to the ground, still unaware at first, still there chanting: "Don't dare to wrestle at this time, don't dare to wrestle at this time!" As soon as she reached out and touched the hot place on her body, her hands were wet, and the woman immediately cried: "Father, mother, let's shoot a foreign gun!" β
Her crying added to the panic in the courtyard, and the screams were almost continuous, and it was almost impossible to tell who was calling. Yuan Shikai didn't care about these women, the subordinate who fell to the ground rolled and stood up, scolding with a dirt smile in his mouth: "Hey, damn it, this guy actually has some seeds!" Dare to choke on this hard fire! β
Yuan Shikai waved his hand coldly: "Shoot indiscriminately!" Kill it or not! Anyway, it's the same for Lao Tzu! β
The entourage raised their guns one after another, and only after one shot went in, Ge Erdan's screams came from inside: "Old and young masters, don't fight, don't fight!" I lost my gun! What do you want me to do, you talk! With the sound of a plea for mercy, a one-man spear was thrown.
Several entourages looked at Yuan Shikai in a daze, Yuan Shikai's face was hidden in the darkness, and his voice was as cold as iron: "Who told you to stop?" Several entourages responded loudly, and without hesitation, the eight-pole revolver fired at the same time, and more than forty bullets splashed into the house, the muzzle flame flashed, illuminating Yuan Shikai's chubby face flickering, and the women in the courtyard were completely stunned, only the instinctive reaction of screaming remained, and the sharp woman's screaming voice was mixed with the gunshots like violent beans.
Liu Changzi was tightly grasped by Yuan Shikai's iron tong-like hand, and he just wanted to slip underground. The crotch was hot, and finally peed out.
What kind of fierce god is this surname............ That's what he was negotiating?
(To be continued)
