Chapter 26: The Thirteen Taibao

"Thirteen Taibao." Someone whispered on the side.

"Yes, the Thirteen Taibao are gathered again."

"There's a good show to watch now, the Thirteen Taibao vs the Heavenly Gang Bailong, which one do you say is more powerful."

"The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, I think the Thirteen Taibao is more powerful." Some people support the Thirteen Taibao, but some people are more optimistic about Tiangang Bailong, "The Thirteen Taibao can suppress Tiangang Bailong, and the number of people alone is not an opponent." ”

Everyone was talking and excited, waiting to see a good show.

"Second brother." The group of young men who claimed to be the Thirteenth Taibao strode up to Liu Jun and shouted loudly. This shout made Liu Jun remember many things again, and let him know that he was also a member of the Thirteen Taibao.

Liu Jun felt a little fever on his face, how could he have such a name. Before Liu Jun went to Fucheng, he used to be a second-year teenager in the township, and he met a group of like-minded partners, who had nothing to eat and drink, and occasionally fought unevenly. In short, it's completely influenced by the Water Margin, and I always want to do something for the sky.

even formed a bloody alliance, and thirteen young people formed a righteous alliance with Jin Lan. And they gave their organization a name that they thought was very popular, 'Thirteen Taibao.' I have to say that the influence of the Water Margin on the Ming Dynasty is really great, especially for those people, look at the rebel thieves at the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone has a terrible nickname, some are called Chuangwang, some are called Chuangtian, and some are called Crashing the Sky, some people are called Mixed 10,000, some people are called Mixed 100,000, and what are the stars in the sky, the stars in the sky, the king of the sky, the king of the world, etc., as if there is no loud name in the rivers and lakes is embarrassed to mix on the road.

Even the thugs in various places have taken the nickname one by one, a dragon, Tiangang Bailong, axe king, spear god and so on. Some folk rangers and scoundrels are the same, and they all take a resounding name first.

Liu Jun and the others were exactly thirteen people at that time, so they called themselves the Thirteen Taibao of Xiwan, and they all felt very attractive at that time. But in the eyes of Liu Jun now, he only feels a strong sense of middle and second feelings.

However, although they called themselves the 13th Taibao of Xiwan at the beginning, they are different from those who are in the gray area like Tiangang Bailong. The Thirteen Taibao are actually the same as Liu Jun, they are all children of good families, and they are all children of landlords, squires and merchants, the family has money, and the living conditions are good.

In fact, they are more similar to the kind of rangers in the Tang and Song dynasties, rather than scoundrels who do evil in the local area, let alone green-skinned thugs.

Liu Jun had been with these dozen brothers for many years, but more than two years ago, he left Fucheng. Then his brothers were all very young, and finally ended the days of fooling around in the famous academy and returned home.

At the beginning, Liu Jun got acquainted with them only because they were all studying in the same college and were classmates. Everyone is from Macheng, but only Liu Jun is from Xiwan.

A few days ago, they knew that Liu Jun had returned from Fucheng, so they made an appointment to come to Liu Jun. As a result, they heard that Zhou Cripple was going to come to Lu's house to rob his relatives, and they pondered that the old relationship between Miss Lu and Liu Jun was known to everyone, and Zhou Cripple wanted to rob his relatives, and Liu Jun would definitely come, so they went straight to Lu's house, just in time.

"Second brother, it's been a few days since I've been back, why don't you go to get together with my brothers." A burly young man walked over, about the same as Liu Jun, more than six feet tall, with a beard on his face, and wearing a scarf.

Liu Jun knew from his memory that this was Zhang Shan, the second eldest of the 13th Taibao, whose home was in the north of the county, with a solid family background and enthusiasm, but he was also a person who couldn't read. Seeing that he is now wearing a student's clothes, it is obvious that he can't be admitted to Xiucai, and eight or nine times out of ten his family spent money to buy a prisoner. This is also the common practice of the squires and landlords in the world now, the family has money, but the children can't get famous, so they spend money to pay a prison.

At this time, Wang Qian, the third Taibao, also walked up and patted Liu Jun on the shoulder.

"If we don't come, the second brother won't plan to come to see us."

Liu Jun smiled, "There is no such thing." "Although now that I think about it, at that time, I was inevitably a little young and frivolous, and there were a few secondary two. But in fact, it is also a very real innocent brotherhood, look at them, I haven't seen them for a few years, and they have all matured.

"Just remember the brothers. Second brother, let's go drink and catch up in a while, now let's settle this Tiangang Bailong first, I want to rob my relatives, and I don't look at who Miss Lu is. The fourth shouted from the side.

"That's it, it's really boring to rob our second brother and dare to grab it, Miss Lu is our second sister-in-law, you dare to make up your mind?"

A dragon Zhou Qing stood there, his face a little cloudy.

As a strong dragon crossing the river, of course he knew who the Thirteen Taibao were. Before he came here to eat, the ruffians and hooligans here couldn't help but tremble when they heard the words Thirteen Taibao.

Fortunately, I heard that the Great Taibao later caused trouble and left Fucheng, and then the remaining twelve Taibao also returned to their respective homes, which can be regarded as disbanded. When he came, he didn't have anything to do with them. Unexpectedly, these people came together today and followed him.

In terms of strength, Zhou Qing is not afraid of any thirteen Taibao. He Tiangang Hundred Dragons Club, known as Bailong, has more than 100 brothers, all of whom are homeless people who dare to fight. However, Zhou Qing was able to get to this point, and he didn't rely entirely on hard work. He also knows how to use his brain, knows how to make friends with officials, and is attached to the gentry, and then he can stay safe until now.

The Thirteenth Taibao is not an ordinary scoundrel and hooligan, nor is he a fellow thug, he knows the details of these people, all of them are landlords and squires, although they are not wealthy, but each family also has this reputation in the township. Even many fathers in the family are talented people, and several Taibao themselves also have the status of civil and military students, wearing student clothes.

He couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons, for a hundred taels of silver, whether it was worth it to conflict with them.

Those who do this line of work understand the stakes the most, and they rely on the strong to bully the weak. He looked at Liu Jun and his group of brothers carefully, and then looked back at Zhou Wenjiang.

Well, on the one hand, there are more than a dozen squire's homes in this county, but on the other hand, they are just a showman's house, which is clear at a glance in comparison. At this moment, one of his subordinates leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhou Qing's face couldn't help but change slightly, what the brother said was that Liu Jun had a good relationship with Li Chunjiang, the nephew of Li Gong, the nephew of Li Gong, the fourth Shangshu, and Li Chunjiang and Liu Jun returned to Liu's house together yesterday and stayed at Liu's house. Even last night, a group of officials in the county such as the county commander and the county went to Liu's house to have a banquet.

Liu Lao Er seems to have traveled widely and has a good relationship with the Li family.

Zhou Qing was surprised and immediately understood, because Zhou Cripple was not worth embarrassing Liu Er, he couldn't embarrass Liu Er. Since the other party can be so close to the Chunjiang prince of the Li family, the ten Tiangang Bailong are not opponents. He Tiangang Bailong can have today, in fact, the biggest behind-the-scenes support is just a side child of the Liu family in Suokouhe.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and Zhou didn't know about Second Master Liu and Miss Lu before. Since there is this inside story first, it is impossible to help the Zhou family rob relatives today. This matter is all a misunderstanding, I am very sorry, I will never interfere in this matter again, and I will leave now. Second Master Liu, he is free every day, you pick a day, Zhou and his brothers will be the east, and set up a table to accompany the crime. ”

Seeing that a dragon retreated so quickly, Liu Jun just laughed twice, nodded and said, "If you don't fight, you won't know each other, even if you know each other in the future, he will talk about it again when he is free, and I will not send it far today." ”

Zhou Qing arched his hand very boldly, "Farewell." ”

This change is so fast that everyone in the audience can't react, they thought there would be a dragon fight, but it was over? It is too abnormal for a dragon of the Tiangang Hundred Dragons Society to admit it like this.

Zhou Wenjiang's face changed drastically, and he grabbed Zhou Qing, "Brother Zhou, you can't go, you have to do things for me if you accept my money." ”

Zhou Qing sneered twice, "The matter has not been done, this is indeed ours, I will return you double the silver I received when I turn around, but we can't do your business." ”

"How can you do this, I will give me double the amount of silver, and add another hundred taels."

Zhou Qing stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, a little regretful, "I'm sorry, I can't make your money." ”

Zhou Qing didn't look back, so he left with the thugs of the Tiangang Hundred Dragons Society, leaving Zhou Wenjiang with a dozen or so people from the Zhou family standing there.

Liu Jun stepped forward with a sneer and looked at Zhou Wenjiang, "Don't you want to leave?" Are you going to rely on the dozen or so people in your Zhou family to rob your relatives? ”

"I'm welcoming relatives, not robbing relatives, the Lu family accepted my bride price. If you have the surname Liu, don't get in the way here. Zhou Wenjiang's face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he was still hard.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to break your third leg, if you don't want to, then get out of here as soon as possible."

Zhang Shan walked up, rolling up his sleeves as he walked, revealing two fists like a sand bowl. "The surname is Zhou, let's compare."

Zhou Wenjiang finally realized that he had hit the wall today, and watched Liu Jun and his brothers grinding their fists one by one to come over, and subconsciously took two steps back, but accidentally, he was mixed under his feet, and he fell on his back, causing a group of laughter.

"Let's go!" lost such a big face, Zhou Wenjiang couldn't stay any longer, so he had to get on the horse and turn around and leave in hatred.

Seeing Zhou Wenjiang leaving, Liu Jun turned around and walked towards the gate of the Lu family.

"Please pass it on, Liu Jun asks to see me."

Lu Weizhang Old Man Lu had already stood behind the gate from beginning to end and saw everything that happened just now, seeing Zhou Wenjiang leaving, the old man was angry and anxious, and now he saw that Liu Jun actually asked to see him, and he was even more angry.

"No, no." Lu Weizhang shouted.

"Yes." The housekeeper listened to the order and nodded hurriedly.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good, Miss, she ran over the wall." A maid in the inner courtyard ran over in a panic and reported.

"What?" Lu Weizhang exclaimed.

At this time, Miss Lu's voice came from outside the gate, "Father, mother, my daughter is not filial, I am here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, don't worry, I will definitely treat your daughter well, and I will come to the door again in the coming day to ask for sin, and I will say goodbye and see you again."

Lu Weizhang jumped to his feet and shouted, "Open the door, damn Liu Er was stunned and kidnapped my daughter." ”

The door opened, but unfortunately Liu Jun and his entourage had already taken Miss Lu away and couldn't catch up. Outside the gate, only a group of unsatisfied theatergoers remained.
