Chapter 62: The Desire to Do Good Work (12)
The boss of the soup cake picker doesn't look very old, but it seems that he hasn't been doing this business for a long time, looking at his gesture of cutting green onions, he always worries - the knife is not very stable, but he seems to want to learn from the kitchen veteran, and quickly cut out the green onions, even Xingtian can't help but say: "Wu Na man, be careful with your hands!" ”
Ding Yi also smiled: "I don't eat human meat soup cakes." ”
Who knows what Lu Dao is really afraid of, the boss smiled and agreed, but his subordinates were even more busy, the oil lamp was dim, and finally cut his finger with a knife, and screamed in pain as if killing a pig, Ding Yi smiled bitterly and saw that the boss was dripping with blood on his hands, and motioned Du Ziteng to bandage him, and took out a dime of silver, put it on the burden, and said to him: "Go home and rest, alas, I'm afraid there is no business at this time." ”
After such a toss, although Ding did not shy away from seeing blood, he had no interest in eating after all, so he beckoned his guards to get on the horse, thinking about going back to the house to make plans again, but he heard a familiar voice behind him, and shouted with a little timidity: "Rujin, Brother Rujin!" ”
Ding Yi rode on his horse and looked back, but saw that the boss who sold soup cakes raised his face and put out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Brother Rujin, little brother Peng Zhang!" "Peng Zhang, Peng Jingxian, first threatened to fabricate the incest scandal between Ding Yi and Ding's sister-in-law out of nothing, ruined Ding's sister-in-law's reputation, and forced Ding Yi to enter Beijing to be an undercover agent by Wang Zhen's side; Later, Ding Yi got out of his control and threw him into the Jinyi Prison, but Wang Zhen fell, and in the wind of leaning on the Red Mansion to sell his body, he used the silver to get him out, but taught him to incite several deputy commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and went to Goldfish Hu to agree to raid Ding's house.
At that time, it was found that several deputy commanders were instigated by one of them, surnamed Sun, and the deputy commander surnamed Sun confessed the strategy given to him by his butler, and found the butler. found that the concubine who had already followed Deputy Commander Sun had rolled up and flown away. This case had to be done here, but it failed to bring out Peng Zhanglai behind the housekeeper.
"Feng Xian, Feng Xian is afraid that it will be unfavorable to Brother Rujin...... Peng Zhang said hesitantly, he looked at Ding Yi, under the faint oil light, he couldn't see his face clearly, and only heard the hint of relief in his voice, "He came to look for me a few years ago, before Wara Tartar attacked Jingshi, he said that he asked me if I would like to leave Beijing with him." I thought at the time, a person like him, I am afraid that he is not willing to live like this for the rest of his life, so I rejected him. ”
Ding Yi tilted his head to Du Ziteng and said, "Take him." ”
Then he didn't go to say a word to this old classmate Peng Zhang, Peng Jing. Reality is not a stage play. Ding Yi can sympathize with a soup and cake seller he doesn't know, but he can't be so pitiful because this vendor is his old enemy. And let him go.
In fact. When Peng Zhang cut his hand, Ding Yi had already recognized him.
Although the night was very dark and the light of the soybean oil lamp was not bright, for Ding Yi, remembering a person is not just a face. The body shape and movements are enough for Ding Yi to be seventy or eighty percent sure that he recognizes the boss of the soup cake burden as Peng Zhang. He didn't say anything. It's not to leave a little dignity for Peng Zhang, but he is no longer at the level of dealing with Peng Zhang, and he even left a little silver.
But when Peng Zhang stopped him, it was different.
There are some things that come and go, and when you face them, you can't be so calm.
Moreover, the news that Peng Zhang gave Ding Yi has long passed.
Peng Zhang did not resist, and even took the initiative to hand out his hands and motioned for Du Ziteng to tie himself up.
Ding Yi shook his head slightly, and Du Ziteng said to Peng Zhang with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this. Then he let one of the guards stay, and the others surrounded Ding Yi, and quickly galloped back to Goldfish Alley. Because this is too weird, why would you meet such a person on such a night? Is there some black hand behind the scenes? Is there some assassination or framing against Ding Yi, going on?
On the way, Du Ziteng even proposed to go out of the city and stay in a small camp set up by five hundred guards outside the city.
Ding Yi shook his head and said, "No need. Ding Yi, who was on a war horse with four hooves and snow and undulating with the galloping horse, patted the long knife with the sheath in front of the saddle. Unless he uses a bed crossbow or an elite army of hundreds of tigers running together, otherwise, Ding Yi has a knife, and he has the confidence to support it, although he knows that it is a failure for him to hold the knife again, but no one can deny that Ding Rujin has a knife in his hand, and it is difficult for a thousand troops!
No assassinations, no ambushes.
Ding Rujin, who is famous all over the world, and the opponents he can provoke are not simple characters.
Obviously, Ah Pong Rakshasa was carrying his terrible long knife, and he had Xingtian by his side, and there were eight guards in double armor waiting around, and he dared to come to the Jingshi realm to make a move, that kind of mentally handicapped assassin was not worthy of their turn to shoot at Ding Yi at all.
There are many people who want Ding Yi to die, and there is no such retarded among them.
Of course, there is not necessarily no mentally handicapped in this world, for example, after Ding Yi returned to Goldfish Hutong, Li Qing who was waiting in the gatehouse, Li Qiye, who was originally famous in the Beijing Division, watched Li Qiye who killed those gangsters one by one with a knife, and watched how Ding Yi went from a rural talent to a world-famous Li Qiye, respectfully ran out of the gatehouse, came to the horse and told Ding Rujin, the name of a mentally handicapped patient: "Lu Zhong." "Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Zhong, that is, Ding Yi's successor after killing Ma Shun.
Although Ding Yi no longer collects the filial piety of the Jingshi Jianghu, the income of the various sects and factions on the rivers and lakes is not more, and the two principals and the eunuchs in the palace sent by the military department and the official department to receive this silver are a hundred times more ruthless than Ding, which makes Ding Daxia's high style and bright manner. Don't say that the civil official group can't do it, there is nothing that can't be done, the money of the teaching department is so happy, not to mention the money of these charlatans, what's so difficult to start?
So the main owners behind the gangs, fighting lines, Qinglou, and gambling houses began to act, and the eunuchs and the two principals who collected the money were not Ding Rongcheng, and they couldn't carry it in a few days, so no one came to collect the money, and it was gone, but the part collected in the palace needed the boss behind the scenes to continue to lose sincerity every month.
Everyone has a consensus, if Ding Rongcheng is in Beijing, at least it won't be so clean, at least everyone still has a way to live.
Especially those powerful thugs of the major gangs that were incorporated into the firm by Ding Yi at that time, after the firm was dispersed, the monthly allowance was naturally not paid, and the more I thought of Ding's good coming, so unconsciously, Ding Yi had his own stable vein in the underground world of the capital.
"It's Lu Zhong, that dead fat man is Lu Zhong's lackey, he dispersed from the door of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and the guy ran to Lu Zhong's house to ask for a meeting, he could enter through the side door and come out through the back door." Li Qing honestly reported that he was not under the jurisdiction of Ding Yi, nor was he under Ding Yi, but just a curtain. So when he heard that someone dared to show his face, he immediately went to find out.
This is called Ding Rujin's personality charm.
And Li Qing had to bow to this personality charm, which was disgusting, but he had no choice.
Because of the disciples of the big officials, it is not the turn of people like Li Qing to take refuge, to vote for Lu Zhong's fat man, who is also a serious person, and only a few people a year in the Ming Dynasty? Can Li Qing compare with a fat man? Then you can only go to the bottom, but those men who can fight remember Ding Yi's goodness, following Ding Daxia's days, there is money to take, clothes to wear, no knives are allowed to fight, and those who are injured will be sent to the hospital...... Who said bad things about Ding Yi in front of them? I'm sorry, the rivers and lakes of Jingshi, please leave, and you will definitely be unable to mix up those who dare to do this. Li Qing can only become a member of the promotion of Ding Yixia's name, at least so that those thugs can identify with him, at least in this way, he can faintly compete with Uncle Zhu Hu and Zhu.
"How long has he been in?" Ding Yi still didn't speak, it was Du Ziteng who was asking, and Ding Yi walked past Li Qing when he entered the mansion, pressed the other party's shoulder, and said, "It's hard work." Li Qing has been flattered.
At this time, listening to Du Ziteng's question, Li Qing hurriedly poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said it carefully, about the time that Chen Fat Man ate in front of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, he pulled to help the same year that was good at poetry couplets, and saw that he couldn't help anymore, Chen Fat Man left in a gloomy manner, Li Qing said to Du Ziteng: "The third Laiyan who fought in Yinxiang to beg for food, said that it was just the season of the second watch, and the Chen Fat Man broke up with his companions and went home separately. And Huang Qizhi, the pasteur on the other side of the sweet water well, said that he listened to the third watch, so he went to the door panel, and watched the fat man pass by, it should be the third watch before coming out of Lu Zhong's mansion, he recognized this fat man, and said that he was the governor of Shuntian Mansion. "If it is not fat or thin like Peng Zhang, it may not be possible for Li Qing to find it, but this Chen Juren Chen is just right, it is really easy to recognize.
Du Ziteng nodded and said politely to Li Qing: "Thank you." Then he took out two small ingots from his arms, Li Qing looked at it and took half a step back, desperately waving his hand and shaking his head to refuse. He did such a thing, of course, not for these two small ingots, but so that he could be thrown into Ding Yi's disciples.
Yes, Ding Yi is no longer his opponent.
It's no longer an opponent he can try to fight, or a partner to work with.
Rather, if he wants to take refuge, he must first prove his worth.
Du Ziteng was very aware of Li Qing and Li Qiye's intentions, and he didn't insist any longer, just patted Li Qing on the shoulder, just like Fang Cai Ding Yi did, and said to him: "This is not enough, what did Fat Chen see and say in Lu Mansion, if you can come over before noon tomorrow, return them to me." As he spoke, he stuffed the two ingots of silver into Li Qing's arms, and went into the mansion.
Lu Zhong's mansion naturally cannot be a place where the yellow seven fingers of the paper man and the paper horse, or the begging Laiyan Laosan can enter. It's just that in addition to Yu Qian, which of these bigwigs who have become officials in the hall is not a family with countless slaves and maids? Could it be that they are all relatives summoned from their hometown? That's impossible, even if the villagers come to Beijing, it is impossible to be a servant, if they can't be promoted, most of them are to give some silver to persuade them to return to their hometowns, how can there be a developed reason to call the villagers' relatives as slaves?
Therefore, among the servants, there are Jianghu people after all, and the news of the third watch in the middle of the night cannot be transmitted, but after dawn, whether it is pouring night incense or Lu Mansion coming out to buy vegetables and sundries, there are always people who have to come in and out, and this half a day depends on Li Qing's ability. Li Qing pressed the two ingots of silver in his arms, didn't say anything more, and ran into the darkness. (To be continued......)
