Chapter 473: The Town
Twenty Jiazi Town is located in Zhangjiakou fifteen miles away, here was originally a small mountain village, since the Ming Dynasty began the trade of the grassland, here has become more and more prosperous.
In Zhangjiakou, the government is very strict, so most of the transactions carried out are regular, and smuggling and other transactions are rare. Since the Longchang Firm took charge of Zhangjiakou's trade, this situation has become more and more apparent. Under such circumstances, this town, located outside Zhangjiakou, has become more and more important and prosperous.
Businessmen in Zhangjiakou know that if they want to buy prohibited items, the first place is Twenty Jiazi Town. This situation is getting more and more serious, which makes the twenty-family town more and more chaotic. It is a place where all kinds of people gather every day, and it is bustling and chaotic.
Walking on the streets of Twenty Jiazi Town, you can see people dressed in foreign costumes everywhere, including Mongols, Jurchens, and even Japanese people. The streets were full of idle men, and these people were very disheveled, but everyone would hide away when they saw these people, because they were the snakes of the land.
Although the town is not large, it is controlled by four underground forces, and if you want to do business here, the first thing you need to do is to find someone to shelter. Pay your own protection fee, this is called Bai Pier.
In the very middle of the town, there is one of the largest gambling houses, called Jane's Gambling House. The huge flag at the door, the huge gambling word on it can be seen from a long distance, and there is a fierce man standing at the door, each with a huge simple word on his chest.
These people don't seem to think it's a shame to carry a word on their chests, but rather a triumphant look. There was no contempt in the eyes of those who walked by, but a deep fear.
Everyone here knows that this Jian family gambling house, the surrounding Jian family restaurant and the brothel on the side of the Yingke Building all belong to one person, and this person is Jian Hu, one of the four leaders.
The Jane family has deep roots here. There are a large number of people, and it can be said that they are the most powerful of the four, and they also control the best area. Although the other three families always had friction, they never dared to challenge the authority of the Jian family. Fortunately, the Jian family never interfered in the affairs of these families, and it seemed that they didn't want to fight with these people.
One street away from Jane's gambling house, there is a Liujia restaurant. This is another restaurant opened by the leader, known as Liu Wuye. Although Liu Wuye's power is not as good as that of the Jian family, there are also hundreds of brothers under him, most of whom are outlaws who kill people without blinking.
Every day at noon, Liu Wuye will come to his restaurant to eat, which is a rule that cannot be shaken. Businessmen also know that if you want to visit the pier, you have to come to visit at this time, and Liu Wuye will not see you the rest of the time.
It was noon that day. Liu Wuye came to his restaurant as usual, followed by the four King Kongs, which were the four brothers he could fight the most. Each of them has muscles on his body, and his face is also fierce.
walked up to the second floor with a smile, came to the private room he made every day, and said to the shopkeeper on the side: "Lao Zhou, I heard that you found another cook?" Make a good dish, let him show his hand today. If it's really good, the fifth master has a big reward! β
"Fifth master, rest assured. The little one will order to go down, and let the people below serve him well. Fifth master, please come in, there is a new one here who sings a small song, and the little one greets the fifth master. The man in charge hunched his waist and smiled flatteringly as he opened the door to the private room. While making a gesture of please.
Looking at the courteous shopkeeper, Liu Wuye shook the folding fan in his hand on his face, made an elegant appearance, and said, "Listen to the little songs, chant poems and make music." This is also one of the great joys of life! β
A few people on the side hurriedly flattered, it was a pity that Liu Wuye didn't go to the top exam, and Liu Wuye looked modest, but no matter how you look at it, she looks proud.
When Liu Wuye looked up to the sky and laughed, he remembered a voice in the lobby on the second floor, which was not loud but clearly came into everyone's ears. I only heard the man sneer with disdain, and said with a thick mockery in his tone: "A group of beam-jumping clowns, vulgar people, barking arrogantly here, really don't know how thick the sky is. β
The entire second floor suddenly fell silent, no one spoke, not even a single person made a gasp sound, everyone had a stunned expression. Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the sound had come.
I saw that in the position by the window, there were four people sitting at a table, one of them was an old man, the other two were middle-aged people, and one was a white-faced son. At this time, this white-faced boy was looking at Liu Wuye, with a thick mockery on his face, obviously what he said just now.
After a moment of silence, the upstairs became noisy, and more than a dozen people rushed out of nowhere, all glaring angrily at the young man, but no one stepped forward, as if waiting for Liu Wuye to speak.
His face changed a few times, Liu Wuye arched his hand to the people upstairs, and said with a smile: "Everyone, there are some private matters here today that are easy to solve, please give the fifth master a face, please please!" Today's expenses are all counted on my fifth master's head, and next time I come to invite everyone to drink! β
When everyone heard Liu Wuye's words, they all smiled and hugged their fists at Liu Wuye and left, Liu Wuye is still very particular about doing business? p>
εΊε½©δΏθ¨ι₯«ι·εΊΉι₯·ζ₯ηΎι’? p>
When everyone was gone, Liu Wuye's face sank, and his eyes narrowed when he looked at the people left. At this time, there were still three tables of people here, a total of twelve people, and it was obvious that these people were all in a group.
Facing everyone with a fist, Liu Wuye said with a smile: "Everyone, I don't know what Liu Wu offended about?" Although you have made it clear that although Liu Wu is not a hero, he still has the number one here! β
"If you are really quick to speak, since Liu Wuye is so refreshing, we will not hide it. This time, I came to see the ability of the fifth master, and wanted the fifth master to do something for us. The fifth master can rest assured, money is indispensable to the fifth master! The young man was just about to speak, and a middle-aged man on the side had already taken the lead.
Gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, Liu Wuye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile on his face: "What you said is so light, although I, Liu Wu, am not a hero in this acre and three points of land, but I also have some names." You have lost Liu Wu's face today, and you still want Liu Wu to contribute to you? Although silver is a good thing, there is no shortage of five masters! Speaking of this, Liu Wuye combined the folding fan in his hand and said loudly: "Give me a lesson and teach these things that I don't know the depths!" β
The middle-aged man who had just spoken shook his head and smiled, glanced at the old man beside him helplessly, and then glanced at the people at the other two tables.
The two groups of people quickly fought together, but the four King Kongs behind Liu Wuye did not move, and the four people on the table did not move.
However, as soon as they fought, the screams changed one after another, and Liu Wuye fell down several times. No one gave people too much time to react, and a dozen people were already lying on the ground humming!
Looking at the eight people standing in a row opposite, Liu Wuye's eyes shrank, although these dozen or so people are not elites, ordinary people can't deal with them. After just one face, he was knocked down by eight people from the other side, and it seems that these eight people are not simple!
Glancing at the four King Kongs beside him, Liu Wuye waved the folding fan in his hand again, and said loudly: "You guys, if you don't teach them a lesson today, how can I, Liu Wuye, still mess around on this ground!" β
The Four King Kongs didn't speak, they strode forward a few steps, rushed over at the eight people, and hit each other again. This time it seemed to be very laborious, and it took about half a cup of tea to finish, and the four big King Kongs were also lying on the ground humming, and one of them fainted.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wuye's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said in a low voice: "Since you are so powerful, why bother to trouble Liu?" Liu's belongings, you must not look down on them, right? Tell me what you have to say! β
Among the four people who were seated, a middle-aged man stood up, smiled and bowed his hand to Liu Wuye, and said, "Liu Wuye, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the private room!" β
Nodding slowly, Liu Wuye turned around and walked towards the private room, and the middle-aged man followed behind him with a smile.
When the two of them left, the young man frowned slightly, looked at the old man next to him and said, "Father-in-law, why are you looking for this Liu Wuye?" How can there be such a person in the great cause of the Holy Religion? β
"Wei Baice, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, once said to Tang Taizong that all the ministers who have been opened do not need to consider their morality, and they can be used if they have a skill. However, the ruler of the world must have both moral character, and you must learn to be flexible! The old man stroked his beard, looked at the young man with a smile, and said.
I don't know if I understand it, but the young boy also nodded, not saying anything!
There was a discussion here, and in the back house of the Jian family's gambling house not far away, a superior Jian Hu was standing there with his eyebrows lowered at this time. He has knotted muscles, a belt around his waist, and a dress on his body that looks like a martial arts practitioner.
There is a scar on his face, which makes Jian Hu look very intimidating, and he has a knife behind him, but he can't see the style hidden in the sheath.
I saw Jian Hu saluting the person who was sitting, and said respectfully: "If there is something, my uncle will give me an order, Jian Hu will definitely go over as soon as possible, I don't know what is bothering my uncle?" Did someone under him provoke his uncle? β
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Jian Jiang frowned slightly, looked at his nephew and said, "Jian Hu, you are also not a small boss, thinking about dancing knives and guns all day long, what kind of system has you become!" The eldest brother is such a son as you, you have to give the eldest brother a reception, don't let the uncle worry about it every time! β
"Nephew knows!" Jian Hu stood aside respectfully, and said with low eyebrows. (To be continued......)
