Chapter 133: Realm
After Xia Huanfeng was busy, he took the initiative to answer questions for Mingyi.
Knowing that Xia Huanfeng must have sent the guests in the hall almost as well, Ming Yi's first question was: "The little lady I brought, what do you think?" ”
Xia Huanfeng pondered for a while: "It's an unsharpened blade, see how you use it." ”
"I also think she's usable, but I can't figure out what she wants or how big her appetite is. If you use it well, I have a competent assistant, and if you don't use it well, I'm afraid of losing myself. After today, Ming Yi has increased his trust in Xia Huanfeng, and he can put the most taboo person in front of her, which shows the sincerity of trust.
Xia Huanfeng sat down with a serious expression: "With her capital, it's not worth your risk, and if you use it well, you just have an extra arm, and it doesn't prevent you from moving forward." Why hesitate to do this? I don't think Mingyi would be so unwise. ”
Mingyi bit her lip and thought about how to explain it, it was difficult for her to ignore a woman who was likely to have Qiao Yin hidden in her body. After weighing it for a while, he replied: "Her appearance is very similar to my childhood partner, I don't know if the two of them have anything to do with each other." ”
"So, it's very simple, I'll find out her background for you." Xia Huanfeng lowered her head and straightened the hem of her skirt, "I asked, she talked to those merchants, although she was immature, she was pitiful and invincible. You've collected all the addresses and you've got a lot of bounties. Are you going down to her? Probably not gone yet. ”
Ming Yi shook his head: "If you want to go, you can see one person clearly with this money, or not." If you don't leave, it doesn't hurt to be late. I still have a stomach full of doubts to listen to Phantom Maple. ”
Xia Huanfeng laughed: "It seems that you are becoming more and more interested in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, excellent." ”
Xia Huanfeng first talked about the Shentu family.
The Shentu family started in Luoyang, and the previous generation of gang leaders was born very mysterious, and the legend in the rivers and lakes is that the old gang leader of Shentu was originally the most powerful green forest hero in the Central Plains. This is a good saying, directly speaking, it is a bandit background, with a group of brothers, with a mountain full of unknown gold and silver treasures to Luoyang City to become a big landlord, willing to spend silver, so it is also closely related to the Luoyang government.
The old gang leader married more than a dozen wives, tried his best, and still had no queen. There was a lot of discussion inside and outside the gang, and they all said that the old gang leader had too many lives in his hands and hurt Yin De. The old gang leader did not believe in evil and continued to marry wives and concubines until he was over seventy years old, and finally accepted his fate, and one day brought back two boys, one was three years old, and the other was still waiting to be fed.
These two children are the current Shentu brothers, although everyone has passed it on that the old gang leader killed a farmer and took these two children for himself, the Shentu brothers have never asked about their background. The old gang leader gave them everything he could, both master and father, until he died eight years ago, and the two brothers naturally inherited the position of gang leader.
What is even more talked about in the rivers and lakes is that there is only the Shentu family in the world, and there are two gang leaders, and there is no main and deputy leader, no upper and lower. With martial arts, age and prestige in the gang, Shen Tu Yi has an absolute advantage, but Shen Tu is good at strategy, Shen Tu Yi tries his best to push his younger brother to the throne, and the opposition in the gang is not small. In the end, the two of them served as the same helpers, regardless of size.
Since the last generation, in addition to owning a large amount of land and income, the Shentu family has also operated casinos around Luoyang, and has opened up financial routes by helping people collect safe money. The merchants of the Luoyang generation, and even the caravans passing through Luoyang, must pay a certain amount of silver taels if they want to do business with peace of mind.
Mingyi understood, this is the standard kind of community: "I look at Fang Cai's performance, it seems that Shentu is impatient and straightforward, and Shentu is mellow and hidden, is this so?" ”
Xia Huanfeng nodded and said, "That's about it." Shen Tuyi's temperament is like fire, his internal kung fu is unfathomable, and he often takes people's lives, but he treats people with sincerity and is very righteous to his brothers. Therefore, the older generation of people who helped the green forest out of the mountains all respected him. Shentu is like a deep pool, unintentional on the surface, and extremely deep in the heart. The casino business is managed by him, and because he is good at enterprising, he is supported by the new generation of gangs. ”
Ming Yi stuck out his tongue: "It's really unseemly, I thought he was just a teenager less than twenty." ”
"Shen Tu Yi is thirty years old this year, and Shen Tu is only two years younger than him. Don't look at one mediocre in appearance and the other immature and kind, these two are not easy to mess with. "Xia Huanfeng seems to have something on his mind.
Mingyi remembered the brothers' topic about women: "What? Both of them have a crush on you? ”
Xia Huanfeng sighed: "I learned that the Shentu family also has plans to come to Chang'an, I did go to Luoyang to inquire, and after being familiar with the temperament of his two brothers, I wanted to use beauty tricks to make his brother turn against him, so that the Shentu family could be chaotic for a while, and get a chance for me to go to the official one step earlier." Unexpectedly, the two of them did fall in love with me, but after learning each other's intentions, they agreed that neither of them should cross the thunder pool with me. ”
Ming Yi patted his thigh and praised: "This brotherhood is really strong and sincere, and it actually made Xia Niangzi come back." ”
So I changed my approach and maintained a friendship with both of them, and I couldn't hide it, so I also confessed that I worked in the Shangguan Gang. At present, they still give me some face, but it is not a long-term solution. Xia Huanfeng frowned.
Ming Yi also became upset: "You must not let these two know that you are a man, otherwise, I am afraid that it is not only you who will suffer." ”
"Well, with Shen Tuyi's temper, the Shangguan gang will definitely not be able to live in peace if the gang is not destroyed." Xia Huanfeng sighed, "I really don't know if what I did helped the gang or harmed me." Is it for the sake of immediate benefits, and it will be repaid a hundred times in the future. ”
Mingyi couldn't think clearly, so he had to comfort: "If it weren't for your hard work, and you didn't hesitate to dress up in women's clothing, I'm afraid that the Shangguan gang would have been wiped out by the Tianyi gang a long time ago, how could it be possible to develop in Chang'an." ”
Xia Huanfeng looked at Ming Yi with a sincere expression: "All I can do is do here, and now I have to help Mingyi." If you can help the Shangguan gang become famous, I will give you the position of the gang leader. ”
Ming Yi listened to this, there was no wave, what kind of deputy gang leader, just a false name, even if it is a gang leader, it is just a small gang that is not ranked in the rivers and lakes, and it is not attractive at all.
There was just one point, she had been thinking for a long time, and she still decided to ask directly: "The Shangguan gang is not your family, and you are not the gang leader, why are you so desperate, and even risk your life to benefit the gang?" I don't believe in anyone who is selfless and desireless. ”
Xia Huanfeng raised a smile on his lips: "Don't you think it's interesting to develop a small gang with no congenital advantages to the pinnacle of martial arts step by step?" The interesting thing is not that he was hated by thousands of people at the peak, but that he did the impossible with his own strength and retreated. ”
Ming Yi thought for a while and clenched his fists: "Realm." ”
