Chapter Twenty-Five: Scorching Thunder Shakes the Sky
(Thanks to the book friend for the recommendation vote of "The Pit Will Be Healthier"~)
The golden dragon probes the claws, and the scorching thunder shakes the sky!
This is the cut of the Golden Dragon Gang, which is very domineering!
If the Ming Dynasty was still a prosperous dynasty, just by virtue of this incision, there would be a brocade guard to drink tea on the second day, but unfortunately the current Ming Dynasty is stormy and precarious! How can you still have the mind and energy to deal with a gang of rivers and lakes far away in Jinling. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Local officials go their own way and fill their own pockets. The four seas are full of displaced people, on the other side of the Great Wall, outside the Shanhai Pass, the Jurchen tribes, and the Mongolian cavalry are all eyeing each other, internal and external troubles, almost everyone has acquiesced in one thing, that is, Emperor Chongzhen is the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and now the only remaining question is who will belong to this great country? Perhaps, to this day, only the emperor himself and the great eunuch Wang Chengen are still fantasizing about setting things right and creating a prosperous world.
Du Yu knew the specific location, and Jiao Gongli's disciples were all strong men, so the efficiency was extremely high, and when he came to Minzi's mansion, Du Yu pointed out, and Jiao Gongli's disciples went to sentry sentry, and the rest began to dig treasures carefully.
Looking at these Golden Dragon Gang disciples with greedy faces, as well as Jiao Gongli with red faces, Du Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this is the last Ming Dynasty! Old! Without Jinyiwei, the word "chivalry" also looks much paler.
Disappointment is disappointment, and buying and selling do not affect! Du Yu will not lose a big one because of a small one. Now Du Yu pursues the maximization of interests, he is a layman, and he can't reach the word "chivalry" at all, but he sees the rivers and lakes that he yearns for in his heart, and he is gradually losing his chivalrous spirit, which is a pity.
The meaning of the word "chivalry" is very wide, and chivalry is even more at any time, in martial arts novels, it is the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and China has appeared for 5,000 years.
In the Ming Dynasty, chivalry and martial arts were admired, from the emperor to the prostitutes, and the chivalrous journey became a trend. So in the storybook, the author's pen, the rivers and lakes of the Ming Dynasty are very exciting, and they can be called a hundred flowers blooming, each leading the way!
As a chivalrous man, you don't have to be strong in martial arts, but Han Feizi's "forbidden by martial arts" is an important symbol for them. In other words, if a person calls it "chivalrous", the first thing to see is whether there is "chivalry". In the society of the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to the prostitutes, they all advocated chivalry, and pursued chivalry, abrupt order, and contempt for rules. Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong is quite martial arts, his behavior is unrestrained, his behavior is unrestrained, but it is a pity that he was born in the emperor's house, if he wanders the rivers and lakes, he is a qualified knight
As the saying goes, "the Zen rod opens the dangerous road, and the sword kills all the unjust people"
It's a pity that in the world of "Blue Blood Sword", this kind of chivalrous temperament is very rare, and these characters who appear in the Blue Blood Sword are not chivalrous, but strongmen who open mountains and cabinets, and are bandits! The words "good luck and hero" do not match them well. They kill people and ask for money!
In the era of chivalry, Ming Chengzu set up the East Factory, specializing in "visiting rebellion, gossip, and great evil". The Dongchang was run by the eunuchs, who were close to the emperor, and like the guards and the Jinyi guards, they were only responsible to the emperor and could capture officials and civilians at will without the approval of the judicial organs. Xianzong set up the West Factory, which was the emperor's private detective agency, and the eunuch Wang Zhi supervised the factory affairs, and the West Factory spies were rampant all over the world, wantonly arresting officials and people, "although the palace is inevitable". During the Zhengde period, the factory and the guards were in full swing, and the eunuch Liu Jin set up an insider factory, which was far more ferocious than the east and west factories, so that when the people everywhere saw people with fresh clothes and angry horses and Beijing accents, they immediately scattered and ran away.
It's like a standard example of evil forces!
The imperial court guards the rivers and lakes, whether it is a scattered person or a big faction, if it is slightly offended, it will usher in the power of thunder, destroy the sect and slaughter the sect, Taizu said well: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." "In the most rampant and arrogant days of the factory guard, the more the atmosphere of pursuing independence and breaking through traditional restrictions was quietly pervasive, and the knights inadvertently maintained the Ming Dynasty in a way that was free from the mainstream.
The more famous rangers of the Ming Dynasty basically had the experience of serving the country in the shogunate army. For example, Wang Yin, Xu Wei, and Shen Mingchen once entered Hu Zongxian's curtain; Chen Di, Li Du into Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou; He Bi once entered Zhang Taomu and so on. Some of them are engaged in civilian work, giving advice, and some directly lead troops to fight. In the Ming Dynasty, the northern frontier defense and the southern anti-Japanese battlefields all had chivalrous figures.
But now that the factory guard has declined, the things pursued on the rivers and lakes have changed, there is freedom, the king law is gone, and the gangsterism is heavy! The rivers and lakes are more and more advocating force, pursuing money, and then living their own small lives.
In "Blue Blood Sword", whether it is Chu Hongliu, Sha Tianguang, or Hu Guinan, Meng Bofei, or Jiao Gongli, the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang in front of him now, to put it bluntly, they are all bullies, otherwise how could there be Jiao Wan'er and the shopkeeper who said "Golden Dragon Probe Claw, Jiao Lei Shocks the Sky", the shopkeeper was shocked, came over and spoke respectfully. Isn't this a typical reaction of a shopkeeper to a door-to-door underworld!
I think that if it weren't for the fact that there was such a famous person as Yuan Chengzhi, who was strong in martial arts, who was rich and bold, and who was on the line of breaking into the king, everyone really wouldn't have to ambush the Manchu Tartars.
Du Yu thought about it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, now that Yuan Chengzhi took the money to gather people's hearts and let him take it away, naturally there was no group of thieves to rob him, and then pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger to defeat the group of thieves, and finally save everyone from the hands of the government.
Du Yu was pondering when a Golden Dragon Gang disciple ran up with a happy face and came to Jiao Gongli and Du Yu: "Master, Du Gongzi, we have found it!" ”
When Du Yu and Jiao Gongli heard this, they were also very happy, and when they entered the small firewood and grass house, Du Yu secretly used his skills to prevent the people of the Golden Dragon Gang from attacking themselves if they saw the money.
The muscles of the two strong disciples burst out, and they shouted "Get up!" ”
Pick up a boulder and shovel away the dirt from the rock, revealing a large slab. And he lifted up the slab, and there was a great hole underneath.
took two bundles of firewood and grass, lit them and threw them in the cave, and when the filth was exhausted, Jiao Gongli asked Du Yu if he wanted to go down to take a look, but Du Yu shook his head and didn't move, and three or four disciples walked down the stone steps, and under the light of the torches, they saw ten large iron boxes lined up. The iron boxes were locked with huge locks, but the keys were nowhere to be found.
"Master, there is no key! But there is a big box, heavy. The man under the cave shouted.
"Du Gongzi, look at this ......" Jiao Gongli was also stunned when he heard that there was no key, turned his face to look at Du Yu, and wanted to ask him what he could do, or if he knew where the key was?
"Gang Leader Jiao, is it important to find the key, or is it important to get the treasure? Take advantage of the fact that there is no one, don't carry the box away first, what is still rubbing, if it is dragged until dawn, there are many people, and things will be difficult to do! What's more, the box is in hand, and there are more ways to open it, so why rush. ”
As soon as Du Yu said this, Jiao Gongli suddenly realized, but just now he had a momentary thought.
"Let's take it back to the house first!" Jiao Gongli waved his hand, and several disciples didn't dare to slack off, their waists and legs exerted their strength, and the two of them carried away with a treasure chest.
Back in the house, Jiao Gongli called Jiao Wan'er, and now only Du Yu, Jiao's father and daughter, and more than a dozen personal disciples of Jiao Gongli are left in the house.
"Du Gongzi, which box do you want?" Jiao Gongli didn't forget the agreement with Du Yu, he didn't have the intention of killing people and swallowing them alone, but just think about it, don't say that he can't beat Du Yu, that is, he really poisoned Du Yu with a hidden weapon, and Mu Sang Dao people, when the matter spreads, the entire Golden Dragon Gang can't afford it.
"I'll want the second box. You should have taken the first box, but I didn't dare to go ahead. Du Yu said this politely, but he didn't shirk too much, the sedan chair was carried by everyone, and under the premise of no conflict of interest, he held it, and the relationship was naturally familiar.
"Hahahaha, Brother Du, you're still too polite." Jiao Gongli laughed a few times, obviously very useful, then looked around at the disciples and said, "Open the box." ”
The stainless steel hammer had already been prepared on the side, weighing dozens of catties, and Wu Ping, the eldest disciple of Jiao Gongli, rounded his arms, and slammed it down with both hands, only to hear a muffled sound of "dong", and the huge lock fell off and fell to the ground.
Wu Ping concocted it according to the law, smashed the remaining nine locks one after another, and then did not step forward, but stood respectfully, waiting for Jiao Gongli to open the box in person.
Jiao Gongli opened the iron box on the line, and when the lid of the box was lifted, the old lid made a "creaking" sound, and everyone looked into the box, only to feel dazzling flowers, a large box full of precious jade and pearls, and another box was opened, but it was agate and jadeite, and none of them were not worth hundreds of thousands of treasures.
Wu Ping exclaimed in a low voice, and couldn't help but change color on his face, surprised and happy. Jiao Gongli turned to the bottom, but saw that the lower half of the box was full of gold bricks, and the ten boxes were the same.
The second box selected by Du Yu is mostly some beautiful jade carved treasures, a jade bowl, a white jade three-sheep pot, an agate cup, a lapis lazuli number beads, a peach tourmaline pei, and an agate three-fruit flower arrangement. There are also some gold-inlaid jade trees, pearl osmanthus, full of lining in the box.
The emerald green is like a green feather, the white jade is white like clotted fat, the agate is red than Danxia, the lapis lazuli is blue like a clear sky, and the tourmaline is as bright as a peach blossom.
These things are worth 10,000 taels of silver, not to mention the deliberate workmanship, delicate and delicate, and exquisite, so it is even more immeasurable.
Du Yu stepped forward and picked up a flower arrangement, which was carved with three kinds of fruits: bergamot, pomegranate, and peach, which means more blessings, more sons, and more longevity. The jade expert makes full use of the "stone of happiness" wrapped in red and white, wisps of color, and the color is skillfully used: pure white, carved into a Buddha's hand, really like a jade Buddha's hand; The fainting place is cut into a peach, as if it is rendered layer by layer with a paintbrush, and it is bright red to the tip of the peach; The mottled place is made into a pomegranate, the skin is cracked, and the seeds are like a handful of rubies.
I looked into the box again, and everything was a rare treasure. Jiao Gongli on the side saw that Rao was still the treasure of the nine boxes, and he was still envious, and said: "Brother Du is lucky!" These are all priceless things! ”
"It's not as good as Brother Jiao, nine big boxes, things are even richer, oh yes, Brother Jiao, I like vassal elegance, but there is no shortage of gold, I just like these jade treasures, the gold bricks under this box, you can take it, you also need money to help the turnover business in it, just treat it as a brother I have a little heart for the gang."
Du Yu's words are very clear, you already have nine boxes, don't be too greedy, as for the gold, I don't want it, I can give it to you, if you are not greedy enough, it will hurt the harmony.
"Ahh When Jiao Gongli heard Du Yu's words, he immediately restrained his mind, but when he heard Du Yu say that he wanted to give the gold to the gang, he said that it was not good, but in fact he did not have the slightest intention of refusing.
"Hey, Brother Jiao, are you willing to let me join the gang and let me serve as a guest secretary, what's the matter, I also have to make some contribution to our gang!" Du Yu secretly despised it in his heart, and his feelings were false and polite, and he still couldn't avoid vulgarity when he traveled to four hundred years ago!
"In that case, then I thank you for my brothers!" Jiao Gongli was very happy, and at this time he turned his face and said to Jiao Wan'er: "Wan'er, go and sort out Du Gongzi's things out of the box with a few of your senior brothers, and then find a big mansion for Du Gongzi, send it over, and the money to buy the house and the maidservant girl will come out of the account in the gang." ”
"Okay, Daddy," Jiao Wan'er replied and turned around to pack her things.
Jiao Gongli said: "Brother Nadu, there is still a period of time before dawn, let's rest separately, I will buy you a house in this Jinling City in two days, and now I will be wronged in the cold house for a few days." ”
"How can you say that you are wronged, Brother Jiao, you personally entertained me, it's too late for me to be grateful, then I'll thank you Brother Jiao first." Du Yu pretended to be excited and said.
"Where, where! In the future, we will work together to develop and grow the Golden Dragon Gang together! Jiao Gongli said politely.
So the two said goodbye, Jiao Gongli went to rest, Du Yu walked all the way to his residence, and when he came to the front of the house, he saw an old Taoist priest standing there, carrying a cold sword in his hand.
This old Taoist is none other than Du Yugang's master, Musang Daochang!
