Chapter Thirty-Six: The Old Man Comes from Washington (I)
North Forest Country
Kannai Road
Jingzhou City
This ancient city has a long history, and its name changes frequently, and when the four kingdoms were established, it was renamed Jingzhou because of the flow of Jingshui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because it is located in the main traffic road, there are many merchants who come and go, and the traffic is endless, so that this small Jingzhou city looks up and is extremely prosperous.
In order to compete for the few resources in the city, the forces of all parties use ruthless methods, often drawing swords against each other.
Coupled with the fiery temperament of the locals who were blown out by the cold north wind, it was not uncommon for hundreds of people to fight with weapons, and even the stinging master who was good at governing the city had a headache.
It is also strange to say that the scholars, who have always been regarded as the mainstay, are not very popular in the city, and their reputation is not very good.
On the contrary, those heroes of the green forest who have been slashed and killed are respected and courteous by the people in the city.
If you want to say that this is the most admirable, it is the old man Hua in Washington.
When he first came, he only took a few subordinates, carried a Daning pen, and founded Anping Carriage and Horse Dealership to make a living for others.
This bowl of rice looks full of fat, but it is really a dangerous business with his head pinned to the waistband of his pants, and even bloody local men dare not enter this dangerous line.
When he first arrived, this old man Hua was not famous, and no one came to ask him to escort him, so that the invited swordsmen were all hungry and green, and were ridiculed by many local people and peers.
It wasn't until after that incident that this old man Hua became prosperous in this city.
At that time, there was a merchant, because there was a batch of goods to be sold in Longyou Road, but there was a vast and sparsely populated area, and there were often barbarians haunting, many carriages and horses were unwilling to go, and the merchant was forced to find Mr. Hua Lao.
After Mr. Hua heard the appeal, he didn't say a word, didn't even negotiate the price, directly picked up the Daning pen, took a dozen subordinates, and escorted the caravan to Longyou Road.
As soon as he entered Longyou, this caravan with few men was targeted by the barbarians' horse thieves.
More than 300 brave horse thieves surrounded these dozens of people, not a drop of water, not even a single one was ready to let go, and the men who accompanied him knelt in the yellow sand and begged for heaven, but they were greeted by the mocking laughter of the horse thieves.
At the critical moment, Old Man Hua stepped forward and led more than ten subordinates to kill more than 300 horse thieves!
I thought it was a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, but I didn't expect it to be a tiger into a flock, and wherever Daning's pen gun went, there was no enemy in a round. In less than a bag of dry tobacco, all the horse thieves were slaughtered, and only a few hundred horses were left isolated in the middle of nowhere.
Since then, Mr. Hua has risen to fame.
There are also horse thieves and robbers who do not want to die in the road, and for the sake of the white flowers, they come to him for trouble.
But under the guns of Old Man Hua, only a few of those reckless men ran away with good legs and feet, and the rest all went to the Netherworld Mansion to report to the judge.
In Longyou Dao, there are rumors of a killing god with a Daning pen gun.
The name of this Anping car and horse shop has also become an unimpeded official road guide on the underworld.
Mr. Hua is not only skilled, but also generous to the poor. On the first and fifteenth day of the new year, he arranged his subordinates to give out dry food and rice porridge to give alms, so that the poor would not starve to death.
Later, Mr. Hua managed well, and bought many brothels, gambling houses, and restaurants in the city.
Mr. Hua can be a man and do things again, and he is close to the government, and he respects a lot of gold and silver in the past every year, and slowly ranks among the three wealthy families.
Washington.
The residence of Mr. Hua is located in the middle of the most prosperous street in Jingzhou City. In this kind of place, where every inch of land is valuable, the entire Washington government covers an area of dozens of acres, which shows that the Hua family is wealthy.
Early this morning, three figures appeared in front of Washington.
"Master, what are you doing here, be careful that people kick us out, last time I went to a landlord's house, I was bitten by a dog, such a big family, and I can't let the tiger go." ”
Erdan hid behind the white marble lion in front of the gate of Washington, and said with a tangled expression.
Going north for more than a thousand miles, it really made him suffer a lot of crimes, forced by the power of the old man, this door-to-door begging work is not less, if it weren't for the legs and feet, I don't know how many times I was bitten by the vicious dog.
The old man blew his beard and glared and shouted, "He dares!"
The timid young man hurriedly pulled him over and said cautiously: "I know that you are kind and want to give me something to eat, but you always have to pick soft persimmons, this family is not easy to mess with at first glance, and the few guards at the door have arms thicker than my waist." No matter how powerful you are, can you still fight and kill in this city? Seeing the patrolling soldiers, the tip of the gun was white and shaking, and I was dizzy. ”
Looking at this timid fellow, the old man couldn't cry or laugh, and habitually knocked his head down, and said, "Wait for the master of this place to personally welcome you in, and let you eat and drink spicy food." ”
With that, the old man grinned and walked towards the gate of Washington.
No one asks about being poor in the downtown area, and being rich has distant relatives in the mountains.
This wise saying that has been handed down is not wrong at all, since the old man Hua made his career, the guests who visited this visit have come one after another, no matter what identity, as long as they can catch up with the old man Hua, they all want to touch the light of this famous man in Jingzhou, and even the solid mahogany threshold has stepped on a lot of roots.
Although the porter has no status in the house, he has been asked for more times, and he has gradually developed some arrogance.
This old man not only has no eyesight and does not take out some "filial piety money", but also seems to instruct his grandson to hurry up and report to Mr. Hua, if he is slow, his two legs will be difficult to protect.
The porter suppressed the anger in his heart, thought about it, and made the wisest decision in his life to go and inform Mr. Hua.
The concierge steward had the support of Washington, and he didn't believe that this old man could escape from Jingzhou City, and thought viciously in his heart: "Anyway, if that white-haired burly old man talks nonsense, it's not too late to break his legs later!"
Erdan looked at the wall carved with the auspicious meaning of Sanyang Kaitai and Qilin Sending Son, and then looked at the vermilion lacquer copper door in front of the door, and finally looked at the cotton jacket that had become dirty on his body, shook his head, and learned the sentence that the old man often hung on his lips, and muttered: "Clean." ”
