Chapter 40: The Confrontation of the Streets of the West City

Li Siye was questioned like never before, and he was trying to find a way to defend himself, when suddenly a crossbow bolt flew above his head and shot into the door wall of the small shop from above his head.

"Someone put a cold arrow!"

The Sogdians shouted, and the surrounding vendors looked around in panic, and then they began to roll up their sleeves, took out the short knives hidden at their waists, and turned their backs to Li Siye with a wary expression.

There is a provision in the Tang Law that when the people encounter robbery and murder and other crimes, those who sue and do not save will be given 100 rods, and those who do not save them will be reduced by one grade, that is, 80 rods.

These vendors walk the streets and alleys all year round to do business, and they are not only familiar with Tang Law, but also have certain means of self-defense. They looked at each other, and had to admit that Li Siye's words were true, and the arrows were shot overhead. It's crazy, someone really kills for the recipe for a piece of cake!

Scarface slapped the top of his head in annoyance, and the crossbowman was stabbed down by the stinky woman with a bamboo pole, and he rushed over with a knife, and the woman ran to the house screaming in a hurry. The owner of the soup and cake shop, who has always been patient and afraid, stood at the door with a kitchen knife in his hand, vowing to protect the safety of his mother.

Scarface was not yet in the mood for fighting with a woman, he looked down at the scum who had been stabbed off the roof, curled up under it, still gasping.

Facing the hostile gaze of the entire street, he scolded a horse face: "This is your bad idea, what kind of assassination is carried out, in my opinion, it must be clear!" ”

He gathered more than thirty floating boys and villains together, and slowly pressed towards this side, facing the seventy or eighty people around Li Siye.

Scarface and Horse Face stood in the leading position, and looked at these vendors in front of them arrogantly, and Ma Face spat and said: "We are members of the Bear Fire Gang, and we only came to clean up Li Siye today, not to find others, and let me get out of the way!" ”

When the vendors heard this, their faces were slightly surprised.

The Xionghuo Gang is a force on the ground in Wannian County, these people are fighting and extorting, killing people and goods, doing all kinds of evil, I heard that they even have official relationships behind them, and today they actually came to the West Market.

Li Siye couldn't shrink back at this time, he walked out with the rolling pin used to roll the dough cake, pointed at Scarface and confronted him: "I am Li Siye, the recipe is my family heirloom skill, and it must not be handed over to you people!" ”

"What's the recipe?" Scarface was puzzled, the gang leader Feng Dalun seemed to have only ordered to get rid of Li Siye, and the formula was never mentioned.

The Sogdians were already convinced of this, and drew their waist knives and shouted at the two: "Don't fucking pretend to be garlic, this is a skill handed down by the Li family, if you bastards want to grab it and do your own business, you must first ask us if the knife in our hands agrees!" ”

He had to be proactive in this matter, after all, he was the first person Li Siye wanted to teach his skills, and according to the rules, he should be the chief disciple. The recipe for making cakes is even coveted by the Xionghuo Gang, it must be a good thing for Wanli, and they all say that wealth and wealth are in danger, not to mention that there are many people on their side, how can they be soft.

"Yes, ask us if we have the knife in our hand if we say yes!"

As soon as the Sogdians instigated, the courage of the people also increased, and those who had weapons in their hands waved their weapons, those who did not have weapons clenched their fists, and some people grabbed bamboo poles and found sticks and other things.

Scarface and Horseface are in a difficult situation to ride a tiger, thinking that moving out of the name of the Bear Fire Gang will be able to scare off this gang of vendors with evil intentions. Unexpectedly, Li Siye didn't know what ecstasy he had poured into these people, and he dared to join forces to fight against the Xionghuo Gang.

Ma Face turned his head to Scarface for advice: "Or, let's withdraw first?" The timing is not right now, wait until you go back to report to the boss, and then make plans. ”

Scarface gritted his teeth, and let out a wow-wow roar in the face of Li Siye, the revenge he threw into the water has not been avenged, and his mother really can't swallow this breath.

At this time, someone shouted in the distance: "The officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guard are here!" ”

Scarface gritted his teeth helplessly and waved his hand to the floating prodigal son behind him: "Withdraw!" ”

The Bear Fire Gang came and went quickly, and disappeared at the end of the street in a blink of an eye.

Li Siye and the traders briefly discussed, everyone agreed that this matter should not be reported to the official, I heard that the Xionghuo Gang has the background of the government, and there will be many uncontrollable situations in the report, or even Li Siye's formula will be taken away with the assistance of the government.

A moment later, six Jinwu guards arrived, and a small chief led by them pointed at their group and shouted, "Someone was picking a brawl here just now?" Someone else deliberately murdered? ”

"No, no." The Sogdians deliberately walked out of the crowd and explained to a few Jin Wuwei: "There was just a little quarrel, and it has already dispersed, and it has bothered a few military masters." ”

Jin Wuwei was unwilling to care about fights and brawls, and Tang Law also stipulated that only those who hurt people, broke their teeth, and severed their fingers can be punished, and if they are only beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, they will definitely ignore you when they go to the yamen to report the case.

Jin Wuwei didn't want to entangle with these people more, but just stared at everyone suspiciously and asked, "Why are you people gathering here, could it be that you want to make trouble?" ”

"Where," the Sogdian quickly explained, "we have here a strange man who makes bread, and we have learned from him." ”

Jin Wuwei looked up and felt strange in his heart, there was still someone willing to teach the craft to so many people? Then how big is this man's heart?

After Jin Wuwei left, the vendors surrounded Li Siye in the center, their eyes burning hotter than flames. For them, it doesn't matter whether the cake is good or not, because the hunt of the Bear Fire Gang has proven the value of the cake.

Li Siye saw that so many people were gathered on the street, which was too eye-catching, and hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house.

How could his house, which was only a few feet deep, accommodate so many people, people crowded each other, rubbing shoulders with each other, and many people stayed outside, pushing open the windows to look inside.

In June, the air was hot, and the smell of mutton and Han smell gathered together, making Li Siye almost suffocated. When he instructed the Sogdians to look for joiners yesterday, he did not expect that he would call so many people. He carefully discerned the crowd and found that there were not a few people on the street of the West Market, and it seemed that the confrontation with the Bear Fire Gang just now had a big effect, and people were attracted by curiosity.

With so many people gathered together, there was not enough space for his small shop to teach. You have to change to a spacious place, but this place in Xishi is expensive, even renting a warehouse in the middle of nowhere is a big expense.

Thinking of this, Li Siye had a plan in his heart, and standing on the table he bought, he was much taller than everyone else.

People were still immersed in the excitement just now, and they measured the value of the mille-feuille green onion cake in their hearts, which was originally something not worth making a fuss about, but the plot of chasing and killing the recipe gave the big guys endless imagination.

"What do you say the Xionghuo Gang wants Li Langjun to do with the recipe for making cakes?"

"Of course, it's business, they are numerous, if you open a green onion cake shop in every square in Chang'an, how much is the income every day? It was like Tongbao turning into a river and flowing home. ”

"I can't see it, the Xionghuo Gang is already very rich, and it is not eye-catching to make money by making cakes, and the Xionghuo Gang is ready to take the recipe to make cakes and send them to it."

"Above? Which one is above? ”

"Which one else can be on it, of course it's in the Daming Palace."

Another person interjected and said: "It's entirely possible, I heard that someone made a good cake and was also sealed with a Lantai order." Li Lang's cake color and fragrance are much stronger than Hu cakes, if this is offered, it may not be possible to make a thorn history. ”
