Chapter 43 The rivers and lakes are also in the market, and the lion building in the wind and snow
In the dark, the tiles are silent, but there is a cold sight.
Ghosts?
Wang Xuan sneered in his heart, okay, there is still a city god night patrol on the street, but there are ghosts secretly peeping, and there seem to be a lot of problems in Shanyin County.
Without waiting for him to make a move, Guo Luquan next door had also woken up, his figure flashed out of the window, and as soon as he stepped on the corridor, he had already turned around and landed on the rockery in the courtyard, and scolded: "Which junior doesn't understand the rules, and he doesn't let people sleep!" β
With that, he flipped his right hand, and he waved into the night sky with a paper figure between his two fingers.
At the same time, Zhang Heng also rushed out of the room, and instantly jumped onto the roof with his strength, and when he landed, he had already drawn a bow and arrows, and his eyes were full of murderous intent staring ahead.
Under the night sky, a paper figure trembled constantly, twisting left and right and couldn't get out, and the green fire disappeared with a bang.
On the rockery, Guo Luquan sneered: "It's ruthless." β
Seeing Wang Xuan's face indifferently pushing the door out, Guo Luquan also jumped down and said with a smile: "A junior from the public family who is not long-eyed should be a member of the Yamen." β
"San'in County Ya?"
Wang Xuan looked into the distance, "Wu Laosan's case is still over, but he came to provoke me." Don't pay attention to it, what they mean, we'll know tomorrow. β
β¦β¦
A few streets away in the dark alleys.
A watchman sitting cross-legged spurted blood, the small black jar in front of him was broken, the cold wind blew, and the ashes dissipated.
He got up with a pale face, and he didn't care about cleaning up, so he ran in the direction of the county office.
Although it was late at night, the back hall of the county government was still brightly lit.
There were two people sitting in the hall, one was the county commander Wu Huan, and the other was tall, with white temples and a rough face, and it was Meng Xiong, the military captain of Shanyin Prefecture.
After the watchman stumbled into the back hall, he lowered his head and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, that house is guarded by a master of the Yin Gate, and I broke the little ghosts under him, and I didn't see anything." β
The county commander Wu Huan's eyelids raised slightly: "That's it, there are a lot of people in the city in the rivers and lakes in recent days, you patrol in the morning and evening, don't slack off!" β
"Yes, sir!"
"Go ahead."
After the watchman retreated, Wu Huan turned his head to look at Meng Xiong, the captain of the military academy of the government, "Lord Meng, it seems that your news is correct, that Yongan Wang Xuan is indeed not simple." β
Meng Xiong smiled, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, "If I hadn't gone to Fucheng to give gifts, I wouldn't have known the details of An Ratsheng's case." β
"Good guy, the Qi Army Formation, the Yin Temple Earth Demon, and the Xiao family are also involved, is it possible that this king is stunned?"
Wu Huan smiled bitterly: "We are also careless, so that Wu Laosan took advantage of the loophole, the official is still afraid of it now, but the official doesn't know, how can this Wang Xuan get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes again?" β
Meng Xiong's eyes were full of schadenfreude, "Liu Haozi of Qucheng has a grudge against him, Wang Xuanzi is afraid that he is here to find trouble, and there will be a good show tomorrow night." β
Wu Huan hesitated, "The seat of this Sihaimen branch hall ......"
"This can't be mixed up!"
Meng Xiong shook his head and said: "Right now, the two gangs are fighting, if a horizontal bar is inserted, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction, anyway, whoever sits in the hall is in our territory, just guard those mines." β
"In this world, only silver is really ......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, there was light snow in the sky again.
Although San'in City is much more prosperous than Yong'an, many businesses have stopped in today's small year, and many people on the street dragged pine and cypress branches to their homes to meet and say good things to each other.
However, the teahouses and liquor shops on the street are very lively.
Not only do merchants take the opportunity to contact feelings, but there are also many people in the rivers and lakes with weapons, including monks and Taoists, men and women, young and old, all with a face of wind and snow.
Walking the rivers and lakes is inseparable from intelligence, the red lantern boat is not enough, the Jinyan Pavilion is too expensive, only the Sihaimen is the most affordable, the south and the north are well-informed, and they also introduce all kinds of transactions, from large families to handle red and white ceremonies, to darts to intercept and kill secret work, everything is available.
Therefore, the lion building gambling has become the biggest thing in the nearby rivers and lakes.
"There's news!"
In a wine shop, a man with a dogskin hat pushed the door in, and after sitting down, he poured a few mouthfuls of water, "In the first scene, Tang Zixiong invited the crooked team of the opera Monroe, and Liu Xuan, the master of Qucheng Hall, found the Jin family class, and the two sides fought illusions. β
"Luo Lao crooked?"
An old man with a rattle pinned to his waist said with a smile: "Luo Lao is a proud protΓ©gΓ©, I heard that Tang Zixiong has a good relationship with him, and it is not surprising that he will make a move." β
"But although the Jin family class has a heritage, after all, it is a first-class drama, and it only makes money and doesn't cause trouble, how can it wade into this troubled water?"
"I've heard of that."
Another old woman who was smoking a big cigarette slowly turned around, and her smile was a little weird in the smoke, "The son of the old head of the Jin family is a troublemaker, and he ruined the innocence of the girls in the team with a good skin, and the old man Jin said that he was expelled from him, but in fact, he entrusted another family to take care of it." β
"Who knows that kid shouldn't be a thief, he seduced a big family and a concubine when he sang in the hall, Tang Zixiong is the most important rule, and he directly wiped people's necks, which can be regarded as a grudge."
"I see......"
Everyone suddenly realized and made lewd jokes.
The rivers and lakes are like this, no different from the people in the market, grievances and grievances are just laughed and talked about by others, joys and sorrows are like people drinking water, and only self-knowledge is good and cold.
"Master, I want to go and see."
A young boy hesitated, his eyes full of yearning.
"What to see!"
The down-and-out man next to him glared, "How many times have I taught you, don't provoke right and wrong, we know the news is that I will earn some money to marry you an aunt in the coming year." β
"Boy, don't listen to your master's nonsense, he has no money, hahaha..."
"Go, go, be careful of Lao Tzu beating you!"
In the midst of the disturbances, the sky was getting dark.
The lion building of Shanyin County is located at the crossroads of the county seat, the area of the three-storey attic is not small, the decoration of the eaves and arches is luxurious, a lantern has already been lit up at this time, and it is slowly swaying in the wind and snow.
The whole restaurant has already been contracted, there are a lot of people sitting on the first floor, all of whom are wealthy businessmen and leaders of the dart game boxing gym nearby, and the small hall on the second floor is very elegant and quiet, with two rows of wide chairs on the left and right, each with a small servant to serve.
The scene is not small, and the meaning is extraordinary.
This is called raising the flag and standing sticks, the rivers and lakes, the court, and the market have always been inextricably linked, and the winner will also be recognized on the ground of San'in tonight.
At this time, there were quite a few people sitting on the chairs.
In addition to Tang Zixiong, Wu Huan, the commander of Shanyin County, and Meng Xiong, the school captain, also changed into civilian clothes, and next to them sat a white-bearded old man in a Taoist robe.
On the opposite side, a man with a gloomy face and a man with a pockmarked face, burly and full of flying eyes, were Liu Xuan and Liu Haozi of Qucheng.
Liu Haozi's real name is Liu Chang, and he smiled at Meng Xiong, the captain of Shanyin, and said, "Meng Tietou, why are you here, don't you also want to embarrass my brother?" β
Meng Xiong, the captain of Shanyin, rolled his eyes: "Liu Haozi, you don't say hello when you run to my land, it's not interesting enough, don't worry, Master Wu and I are just here to see the fun." β
Liu Haozi suddenly smiled: "That's right, don't leave for a while, let's have a drink and congratulate my brother." β
Meng Xiong was happy, "Liu Haozi, you are quite confident." β
After that, he shook his head and drank tea, and stopped talking.
At this moment, Wang Xuan appeared at the door with Guo Luquan and Zhang Heng, and said with a smile: "Tang Bantou is sorry, I'm late." β
"Wang stunned?!"
Liu Haozi got up in amazement, "What are you doing here?" β
Wang Xuan glanced faintly: "I said to find fault, I don't know if you believe it or not?" β
