Later, I learned that it was Chen Helm who gave the speech that day.

We stayed at the rudder and did nothing, and spent the whole day either arranging to go fishing or rest in the caves.

I had to leave several times, but Sakura always asked me to stay here, saying that I had to let Hong Zhuoli and Hong Zhuowo meet once, and let them eat dogs.

Less than a month later, the opportunity came.

That day, Master Chen arranged for me to go to the shore with Yingling and a disciple named Wang Erdan, and to buy some rotten vegetables and leaves, saying that they would change the food for the brothers.

We chatted while walking, and learned that Wang Erdan was a native of Kaifeng, and his family was not very poor, but he was not as good as his brother Wang Dadan. Wang Da Dan set up a baked cake stall in the city, and he can always earn a lot of copper money every day for his family's expenses, and Er Dan works as a porter in the rice warehouse, and his income is barely enough for his own use. The parents thought that the second egg made less money than the big one, and nagged all day long, and the second egg joined the Tiger Shark Gang in a fit of anger. When it came to receiving a thousand taels of silver in five years, his eyes were full of hope.

Asked him how he raised the money, he said that he secretly mortgaged the family's deed to the owner of the rice warehouse, borrowed five taels of silver, promised to repay him fifty taels after six years, and made up two taels and five dollars from his friends, and he fished in the Tiger Shark Gang for a year, divided five taels of silver, and now handed over a total of eight taels, two taels away from the minimum, and there is only one year left. Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but be full of disappointment.

I said, even if you get it together, what if you don't get the money by then?

Wang Erdan said no, the Hong gang leader would not lie to us. Besides, this project is in cooperation with the Yamen, I heard that it was approved by the four princes themselves, and the four princes will be the ones who will be emperors in the future.

Ying Ling asked, now that the crown prince is the eldest prince, how do you know that the fourth prince will definitely be the emperor in the future?

Wang Erdan said that I was a little worried before, but now I can be sure. Next year, the Buddha and the Taoist will fight the law, I heard that the Buddhist sect has a divine sword called what, and the Taoist divine sword was cut off by the Buddhist sect in Xiaoyao Town two months ago. Next year, the Taoist sect will definitely not be able to fight the Buddhist sect. The four princes are members of the Buddhist faction, and if the Buddhist faction wins the battle next year, the emperor will definitely comply with the mandate of heaven and change the four princes to the crown prince. Nineteen years ago, the Taoist won the battle, but the emperor canonized the eldest prince as the crown prince on the same day.

Sakura Ling said Erdan, you are quite knowledgeable. You don't know that the person who will participate in the Dharma fighting next year is called Master Zhishan, and his mana is very high, and I heard that you can go to the sky by stomping your feet, and it is even easier to fly the eaves and walk on the wall.

Speaking of this, Sakura Ling glanced at me with a wicked smile, and my old face turned red.

Wang Erdan said yes, yes, yes, I also heard that the mage of what mountain is called, the mana is very high, and with the divine sword of what, he will definitely win. In order to raise enough funds to build the gate, our gang leader also made a bet with the beggars, betting that the Buddhist faction won, and I heard that the bet was 500,000 taels. As soon as the money won next year arrives, the gate will be closed and construction will start immediately.

Sakura Ling said that we would definitely meet the disciples of the beggar gang in a while, and we would tease them. You just need to listen to my orders, and I will give you the remaining two taels, so that you will definitely get a thousand taels of silver in five years.

Wang Erdan suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and said that no matter what you command, I will listen to you, girl. I won't take these two taels in vain, but I'll give you two hundred taels when the time comes.

Sakura Ling took me and Erdan and walked towards the south gate.

Zhu Xiuquan and a few beggar disciples were squatting there.

As soon as Zhu Xiuquan saw me, he immediately stood up, came up and grabbed me by the collar and said Zhao Xiaoer, you bastard, we have someone who picked up your bronze medal by the river and thought you were caught by the Tiger Shark Gang, you are very happy, walking around the city. Do you think you're not a member of the beggars if you throw away the bronze medal?

Sakura Ling stepped forward and slapped Zhu Xiuquan on the ground and said, Open your dog's eyes, we are now members of the Tiger Shark Gang. What do you think is so great about your beggar gang, a bunch of shameless people, we won't join any beggar gang.

Zhu Xiuquan fell to the ground and touched his face, asking who are you?

Ying Ling crossed her hands on her waist and said, "You don't know the old lady when she changes back into women's clothes?

Zhu Xiuquan said Okay, wow, you're all reversed? I'll go to the helper and ask him to break your legs!

Ying Ling said that who can you Hong Zhuoli beat with that little martial arts? Our gang leader said that the people of your beggar gang are always dodging and don't dare to go to the river, and now it is difficult for us Tiger Shark Gang to develop some personnel. Don't wait for next year for the gambling of 500,000 taels, your gang mainly has the courage to go to the east gate moat tomorrow morning, everyone will fight to the death, and the living ones will go to Tongbao Qianzhuang to get the money. Go back and ask you if Hong Zhuoli dare?

Wang Erdan also straightened up and said that if you dare, if you don't dare, you will get out of Kaifeng.

Zhu Xiuquan wanted to come up and work hard. I pulled out the commander from behind, and when a few of them saw that we had weapons, they stopped again.

Zhu Xiuquan gritted his teeth and said, "You are a few young people, whoever doesn't go tomorrow morning will be the grandson." Tell you gang leader that tomorrow our gang leader Hong will let him die without a whole body.

Wang Erdan spat and foamed at the mouth and said fuck off, your gang leader is dead and dead. You spray feces again, believe it or not, I cut you.

As he spoke, Wang Erdan wanted to take the sword from my hand.

Zhu Xiuquan ran away with a few legs.

On the way back, Wang Erdan was still scolding, saying that the beggars were tired of the birdmen and dared to insult our helper. Sister Niu, what do you want to tell me?

Sakura Ling said that we would go back and find the helper directly, and said that the beggar gang met us and asked us to bring a message to the helper, and we would make an appointment tomorrow morning, and it was the grandson who did not go.

Wang Erdan said that if you don't tell me to say the same, tomorrow I want to see how those grandsons died. Dare to mess with our Tiger Shark Gang. Even if I don't want the 1,000 taels, I'm going to cut down my grandson who sprayed feces just now tomorrow.

After going back, Sakura was dexterous and said how the disciples of the Beggar Gang insulted our Tiger Shark Gang and how they made an appointment. If we weren't going to buy groceries, we'd have fought them on the spot.

Hong Zhuo was skeptical and asked Wang Erdan. Wang Erdan also insisted that it was the people of the beggar gang who made an appointment to fight first, and said that he would let the gang leader die without a whole body.

Hong Zhuowo frowned, and said that when he went to Tongbao Qianzhuang last time, he said that the grievances would be resolved after the martial arts alliance master bidding competition next year, why did he advance it?

Wang Erdan said that it is estimated that they know that they will definitely lose next year, so they are in a hurry. Want to strike first.

Hong Zhuo slapped the armrest of the chair and said that Hong Zhuoli was insidious and cunning, not honest, and played this hand if he couldn't afford to lose. He thought that our Tiger Shark Gang was really afraid of him, and he sent me the order to mobilize all the brothers in the vicinity of Kaifeng overnight. Tomorrow morning we will go to the East Gate River. I'll settle the old account with him tomorrow that he wants to bury me alive.

Someone next to him immediately answered and came out of the cave.

At night, Sakura Ling was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and jumped up and down saying that my bad breath was finally going to come out tomorrow.

I didn't answer. Sakura Ling saw that I was not very happy, and asked what is wrong with you?

I said that Hong Zhuowo mobilized the surrounding gangs, and it is estimated that the beggar gang will also go to many people tomorrow. I'm worried that the gangs on both sides will fight together. Think of the gangs on both sides as poor people who want to get rich, and they're not bad people. If there are dead and injured in a fight between the two sides tomorrow, we will have a great karma.

Sakura was anxious and said I didn't expect this, what can I do?

I shook my head in annoyance and said that I hadn't thought of a way for the time being.

Sakura Ling got out of bed, leaned into my arms and said Brother Zhishan, I'm sorry, I tried to be quick for a while, and I didn't think about it, but I let you bear the karma of sin.

I stroked Sakura's long hair, saying that the result might not be as I thought, maybe the two sides would break up after a quarrel, or it would be just two gang leaders going head-to-head.

Sakura Ling suddenly broke free from my embrace, knelt on the ground, and put his hands together and said: If you come to the Buddha, if there are innocent casualties tomorrow, don't blame Brother Zhishan, this matter has nothing to do with him. If you want to punish me, punish me Sakura. Go to hell and go to the oil pot, I have no regrets.

After speaking, Sakura Ling kowtowed.

My nose was sore, and I knelt down in a hurry, and said: Ying Ling is a Taoist disciple, and you can't control the Buddha. The great sin karma is borne by Zhishan alone.

Sakura Ling pounced and cried: Brother Zhishan!

I held the cherry spirit, and I felt that I had no regrets in this life.

As soon as the Buddha dawned in the morning, we were beaten by the gong of the gathering, washed up and went to have breakfast, rare white steamed buns and large braised carp, Chen Helm also rarely did not sing and speak, constantly concerned about asking if there was enough, and if you eat less, you have to gnaw two more steamed buns. After eating, we took the guy and set off on a boat, and Wang Erdan saw me and Sakura Ling, and also squeezed over to take our boat. The Hong gang leader sat on the dragon head boat and walked in the front. I made an approximate count, and each ship had ten people, about fifty, and when I sailed to the east gate moat, the number of boats gradually increased, and there were almost two hundred.

Someone directed the boats to line up and stick to the shore. There were 100 boats lined up, the leader's leading boat was lined up in the middle, and the remaining 100 or so boats were lined up in the second row, which was closely connected to the first row. After the platoon was over, someone ordered all the people in the first row to go ashore and cut off the reeds. Sakura Ling and I were in the first row, and we had to go ashore. Half a pillar of incense, the riverbank was cut clean by the people in the first row, and in front of it was a large meadow.

Another order was given to the second platoon to go ashore and carry the reeds back to the boat with the first platoon.

After a while, the reeds were all cleaned, and the two rows of people returned to their ships one after another.

I quietly asked Wang Erdan what he was doing with the reeds on the boat, and Wang Erdan said that he would bring them back to make a fire for the stove, and if he didn't fight, he wouldn't come in vain.

Half an hour later, the beggars arrived one after another, and when they were ten feet away from us, they stopped and began to organize the team. I saw that there were more than 20 rows of them. Hong Zhuoli did not show up, and Hong Zhuo on the tiger shark side did not appear when he was lying in the cabin of the dragon head ship. Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was cold.

Suddenly, a man came out of the crowd of beggars holding a broken bowl in his hand, knocked the ground with a bamboo pole, and opened his mouth to sing:

The person on the other side is doing well, and he hasn't eaten enough until last night.

There is silver in the bag, and 120,000 taels is not too little.

After the man finished singing, he held the bowl in both hands and headed towards Hong Zhuo's dragon head boat.

Our side was immediately full of voices, and Wang Erdan said that the people of the Beggar Gang dare to sing in front of our Tiger Shark Gang? Chen Helm is the master who is singing.

Everyone shouted out to Master Chen, and sure enough, Master Chen Helm walked out of the cabin of the dragon head ship. Master Chen waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then cleared his throat and sang:

Tiger sharks are piled up with mountains of gold and silver, and they can't be eaten for a hundred years.

Sprinkle money along the river and the water rises, and who does not give stinky food.
