"Sir, do you know where Hujia Hutong is?"

"Sorry, I'm not a local either!"

"Uncle, do you know where there is a Hujia Hutong?"

"What do you say? What did you say? My ears can't hear clearly! ”

"Hujia Hutong!"

"Hujia Hutong, I haven't heard of it, at least not in this area!"

"Auntie, have you heard that there is a Hujia Hutong somewhere?"

"No, no!"

……………

Tang Zhidao was dressed in a light blue robe, covered with a black silk linen cotton pony coat, and had three forts in his mouth, so he really looked like a solid businessman, but in a place as big as old Beijing, it was really not easy to find an unknown small alley in the early years of the Republic of China without the Internet, buses, and subways. After looking back and forth for two or three days, I didn't have a clue, but I walked around the old Beijing city in 1916.

"Bring me a big bowl of tea!" After walking around Dongcheng for most of the day, Tang Zhidao, who was thirsty, found a small teahouse nearby and sat down.

"Last time, it was said that General Cai Yi met Xiao Fengxian in Yunjiban in Bada Hutong, and since then Xiao Gele has not thought about it every night, and even Mrs. Liu ...... from the genuine brand, "Under the pergola outside the store, the storyteller is relish about the affair between the merry general Cai Ye and the famous prostitute Xiao Fengxian in the past few months, and a large group of bored men and women are fascinated by it.

"It was snowing heavily in Beijing, and Cai Songpo and Xiaofengxian made a trip to find plum blossoms. As the carriage passed by the station in front, Cai Songpo raised his collar, lowered his felt hat, and blended into the crowd......"

"Little two, little two!" After a big bowl of tea, Tang Zhidao still felt that it was not enjoyable, and said, "Bring me another bowl!" ”

"Wait, officer!" The storyteller was talking about the wonderful points, and the shopkeeper reluctantly entered the store and filled Tang Zhidao with a bowl of tea.

"Little second brother, I'll ask you something!" Seeing that Xiao Er was leaving, Tang Zhidao grabbed him and asked, "Is there a Hujia Hutong nearby?" ”

"Hujia Hutong?" Xiao Er thought for a moment and said, "I've never heard of it!" ”

"Oh!" It seems that there is really no such thing, and an old man in front of him asked him to come to Dongcheng to look for it, but he didn't expect it to be empty again.

"How much!" Tang Zhidao looked up and saw that it was still early, and he planned to look for it again in another place.

"One bowl of five cents, two bowls of eight cents!" Xiao Er said casually.

"No need to look for it!" Tang Zhidao took out a semicircle of small ocean from his arms and threw it over.

"Thank you, thank you!" Xiao Er said with gratitude: "The guest officer is good to go!" ”

Every move here was watched by a lewd man in the crowd next to him, and he rolled his eyes twice and followed.

"Please stay in front of you!" The lewd man saw that Tang Daodao in front of him was about to go away, and hurriedly shouted.

"Did you call me?" Tang Zhidao stopped, turned his head, and saw a man running over panting.

"Is this master going to the Hu family for a contract?" The lewd man asked with a wink of small eyes.

"Do you know how to get around?" Tang Zhidao said lightly.

"That's natural, there is no place in these four or nine cities that I don't know about Hou San!" Hou San patted his chest and swore solemnly.

"Then you take me!" Tang Zhidao still said lightly: "Your benefits are indispensable." "This kind of profession has been seen in many later generations, especially near train stations everywhere.

"Then uncle, you follow me!" Hou San nodded and took the lead to walk forward, and the two of them came to an abandoned alley one after the other.

"This is Hujia Hutong?" Tang Zhidao glanced around vigilantly: it was desolate, overgrown with weeds between the ruins and broken walls.

"Just go a little further in!" Hou San turned his little eyes and continued to walk forward, but the more he walked, he disappeared at the turn of the alley. …,

"Looks like we've met robbers!" Tang Zhidao soon realized what was going on, and it was said that this kind of thing was extremely common in the capital.

"Haha, Hou San is really a clever master, and he sent two fat pigs in three days!" Several big men in black pants and black clothes came out of the shadows, and the strong men led by them laughed and said.

"It's obviously four fat pigs, you have to say two!" Tang Zhidao sneered and shook his head.

"Who are you talking about?" A small man was confused by what he said and asked menacingly.

"I'll say whoever is a pig!" Tang Zhidao said with a smile.

"You! You ......" the man was annoyed and angry, and he was about to pounce.

"Fourth, don't quarrel with this kid, look at his fine skin and tender meat, he will make you enjoy it later!" The big man who was the leader of the four hurriedly stopped and said, the clothes on the kid opposite can be sold for a few dollars, and if they are damaged, no one will ask for them.

"Boy, if you know each other, strip naked yourself and get out of here with your bare ass!" A man with very big eyes pulled out a dagger from his waist and said to Tang Zhidao while playing with it in his hand: "Otherwise, today next year will be your death day!" ”

"The trick is too old-fashioned, change it to a new trick." Tang Zhidao said cynically.

"Boss, this kid is a little tricky!" The big-eyed man whispered to the boss next to him, this situation has not been encountered for a long time, usually as long as his knife is flashed, those merchants from other places will obediently offer their belongings and get out.

"Done him!" The boss secretly said ruthlessly: "Let this kid go out of here unscathed, and the four brothers will lose their prestige here!" ”

"You kid toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame our four brothers for being ruthless!" All four drew their daggers and surrounded them from four directions.

Tang Zhidao saw that the other party was not ambiguous when he was playing the real thing, and walked directly towards the boss of the four.

"You kid is so dead!" The boss didn't want to kill people originally, after all, the purpose of doing this business is to seek money, and if he really kills someone, the Jingshi Police Department will not sit idly by, but now he has to be issued at gunpoint, otherwise how can he be the boss.

"Die!" As soon as the robber boss's eyes closed, the dagger stabbed out, and Tang Zhidao's figure flashed and buckled the robber boss's wrist.

"Bell!" The dagger fell to the rocks on the ground, and the robber boss clenched his wrists and shouted. Seeing this, the other three gritted their teeth and brandished their daggers and rushed up, Tang Zhidao flew up and swept over, and the dagger in the hands of the three people was kicked away.

"Do you want to fight!" Tang Zhidao patted the dust on his leg and said dashingly: "You still want to rob this little bit of Taoism!" ”

"Uncle spare his life!"

"Damn it!"

"Heroes spare their lives!"

These three people have relatively good brains, and it is obvious that they met a master today and can directly admit it.

"Don't get out of here yet!" This kind of ruffian gangster in the capital has not 10,000 but 8,000, and Tang Zhidao can't manage it even if he wants to. The four thugs disappeared into the ruins like a fart and a stream of urine from the amnesty.

"I wouldn't have dressed like this if I had known!" Tang Zhidao shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, walking back the way he came.

As soon as they arrived at an intersection, they saw two or three policemen wandering back and forth there, and they were obviously a little surprised to see Tang Zhidao coming back in full clothes.

Report? The joke-like thought flashed in a flash. In the capital, there is no JC in the trade of fat pigs, and when there is no JC, the umbrella ghost believes that maybe these JCs are helping them to look out for the wind.

"Hou San!" Just when Tang Zhidao was bored wandering on the street, a thin figure came into view, it was not Hou San!

"Stop!" Hou San turned around and saw that it was the merchant just now, and he ran away, Tang Zhidao picked up his robe and chased out, and the two ran crazy one after the other. Although Hou San is small, he is extremely flexible, relying on the terrain to be familiar with the terrain and drill into the remote alley, Tang Zhidao is deaf and clear-sighted, and his judgment is very strong, and he can finally find the alley where he drills correctly, and a game of eagle catching chickens is very enjoyable. …,

"Run again!" Finally forced Hou San into a dead end, Tang Zhidao proudly pinched his waist and blocked the only exit of the alley.

"Uncle, uncle, what about you!" Hou San gasped and squatted on the ground and said pitifully: "Look, you must be unscathed like this, why bother with it!" ”

"Unscathed? Lao Tzu almost died! Tang Zhidao was enraged by Hou San's words, strode forward and kicked him to the ground.

"Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life!" Hou Sanyi hurriedly begged when he met a ruthless character: "The little ones will eat together, and the little ones will tell them that they are okay, but they can't hurt people's lives if they ask for money." ”

"Humph! Lao Tzu hates you bastard the most. Tang Zhidao said with a sneer, his clenched fist was about to be knocked down.

"The little one knows where the Hujia Hutong is, and the little one is willing to take you there." Hou San cried and said.

"How dare the little one lie to you again, I, Hou San, dare to swear by a curse ......" Hou San saw Tang Daodao's hesitation and swore a promise.

"I'll believe you again for the time being, dare to lie to Lao Tzu and count it together!" Tang Zhidao was stunned for a moment and still pulled Hou San up.

This time, Hou San was much more honest, nodding and flattering beside Tang Zhidao, for fear of angering this uncle again. However, Hou San knows that there are really a lot of materials, up to the court anecdotes, down to the rumors in the market, and the head of everything is the Tao, it seems that Beijing's Gekan Mountain has a historical origin.

"This is the Hujia Hutong you're looking for!" After passing through a few intersections and turning a few corners, Hou San led Tang Zhidao to an alley.

"This is it?" Tang Zhidao looked at Hou San suspiciously, such a big alley won't be the only one you Hou San knows.

"The old Beijingers called this place the Mongolian Hutong, and the merchants from the north called it the Hujia Hutong. Most of the merchants who went to Mongolia settled here. Hou San quickly explained.

"You don't have anything else to do, so let's go first!" This evil star is still far away, and I don't know how Boss Hu and his gang are.

"Wait!" Hou San was stopped as soon as he took a few steps, and Tang Zhidao felt out a piece of ocean and threw it over.

"Uncle Xie, if you have something to do in the future, just send a small one!" Hou Sanma caught it and weighed it in his hand a few times before he put it in his pocket with joy.

Little people have their own uses for small people, Tang Zhidao didn't have a piece of pain in the ocean, turned into the alley and walked only a short distance to see a big "Li" hanging in front of a pawnshop.
