Chapter 31: Killing the Beggar Gang (Asking for Votes and Comments)
Jaru opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
He is a glutton, his eyelashes are empty, he is good at observing words and feelings, and he laughed when he saw this little monk Zhu Chongba calling Chen Sijiu his eldest brother.
Chen Sijiu also didn't want to talk to Jia Luduo, although this person's butt was a little crooked, but in the words of the master, his knowledge was limited by the era he was in, if he had seen the Yingzhou Immortal Realm, he would naturally not have this idea.
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, the people are few and there are many people, how about fighting three times a day, if you don't treat it back?"
Chen Sijiu chanted a poem, which made Jia Lu feel so embarrassed, frowning and silent for a long time.
In the Yingzhou Immortal Realm, at least everyone can be equal.
At this time, some beggars in front of him asked Hanako to beat gongs and drums, singing and begging for money.
The beggar gang already existed in the Tang Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, when there were many beggar gang disciples in Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, specializing in begging.
But this gang of beggars is clearly different.
They led a few "monkeys", but they were tall, looked like children, could write and recite poems, but could not speak, if the spectators gave money, immediately knelt on the ground, and could also use their fingers to write in the mud and sand, very smart.
Therefore, it is the official road to Shangdu, so there are many business travelers and onlookers.
There were also a few children, about five or six years old, who looked very small, and were covered with abscesses, and they were very pitiful.
Zhu Chongba looked at those children, pulled Chen Sijiu and said, "Brother Chen, we want to save these children." ”
In order to facilitate walking and not reveal his identity, Chen Sijiu called Zhu Chongba and Peng Yingyu and himself as the eldest brother, and the two of them argued endlessly about who was the second child, and finally had a fight, because Zhu Chongba became the second brother because of his large fists.
Chen Sijiu's eyes flashed when he saw this, this gang is called Huazi is not an ordinary person, the beggar gang is known as the world's largest gang, but the folk but all human teeth, abduction and sale of babies, there must be the shadow of the beggar gang, they often walk the streets and alleys, carrying cakes or hemp candy in their arms, teasing the child with the cake and sesame candy, slapping the child and taking it away, called the flower child, the lucky child can be included in the beggar gang, most of them will be mute by drugs, or made deaf, or cut off their hands and feet, called the heavens and the earth.
There are also some wealthy landlords and squires, who build temples, bridges, and houses, and like to buy boys and girls from beggars, pour watermarks, seal their mouths and noses, and bury them alive in the eyes of the earth, called to drive stakes.
What's more evil is "picking and cutting", this is the ancient evil witch, it is to sacrifice ghosts to people, seek fame and fortune for ghosts, lurk recklessly, take the living, because the children's aura is the most sufficient, so it is necessary to choose boys and girls, and the living children are "cut" into monsters, also called "animal law", first the children are stripped and caught, pricked with needles all over the body, so that the blood is dripping, when the blood is hot, peel a dog or monkey skin, the monkey skin bag and the child's body, human blood and monkey blood stick to each other, never fall off, with iron chains and shackles, deceive people of money.
This kind of evil art was repeatedly banned in the Tang and Song dynasties, but under the command of the Great Yuan, it became more and more intense.
The officials and nobles of the Great Yuan, especially the Mongolian Tartars, are very fond of martyrdom, and the style of martyrdom prevails, and the folk Han landlords and squires have also learned everything, plus the Great Yuan can't help but teach each other, and all kinds of unhealthy tendencies are rampant.
Chen Sijiu looked at the appearance of those "monkeys", and knew that this was not an ordinary monkey, it must be a child who was dressed in monkey skin, pretending to be a monkey and begging to make money, and most of his tongues were cut off, unable to speak, and he knew that there were all kinds of flavors.
Peng Yingyu also said: "Big man, I don't have a good impression of the beggar gang, they are worse than the monk lama and the color eye, I was almost abducted by the beggar gang back then." ”
Zhu Chongba said: "We too, we were begging for food in Fengyang back then, and we were almost deceived by the elders of the beggar gang, cut off our hands and feet, and became a cripple, according to the elder, it became a cripple, the more miserable the more miserable the status of the beggar gang, the higher the status of the beggar gang, and we can still get food, if we weren't clever at the time, how could there be hands and feet at this time." ”
Chen Sijiu shook his head and said to the two of them: "Let me tell you one thing, before you have absolute strength, don't easily provoke the huge power of the beggar gang, if you rob hard, there will be endless troubles, the reason why the beggar gang is called the first gang in the world is because although they are begging, but they have a lot of goods, you see behind this group of beggars, there is a team of warriors not far away, all of them are burly, wearing swords around their waists, Dayuan prohibits the Han people from wearing swords, then this group of people can not be the sons of the Han military family. ”
Zhu Chongba squinted his eyes and said, "Maybe you can buy it with money." ”
Chen Sijiu sighed lightly again and asked, "If you buy them with money, you are harming these children, do you know why the beggar gang made them covered in pus?" Just because the beggars make money with people's compassion, it's the same as Zigong ransom people, you go to buy them at the moment, this gang called Hanako will not be grateful, but feel that this is a matter of course, these children should be sold at a high price, but to catch more children to sell, this way is not advisable. ”
"Besides, buy it today, buy it tomorrow, there are more than 10,000 children in the world who have been abducted by the beggars, have you bought it?"
"What then?"
Zhu Chongba was a little dumbfounded.
Chen Sijiu's eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "It's easy to do, if we are in power in the future, we are not allowed to beggars to beg, but if anyone who abducts and sells human beings is found to be killed, they will be executed!" ”
"If they don't accept the beggars, we will beat them and kill them until they obey!"
Zhu Chongba nodded thoughtfully.
Peng Yingyu asked, "That big man, what can we do to save these children?" ”
Chen Sijiu grinned and said: "Use money, but you have to find a reason, a reason to make these people called Huazi afraid." ”
immediately stepped forward, pretending to be a spectator watching the excitement and strangeness, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact intentionally walked to the side of the gang of men with knives.
"A few heroes, but the beggars here are the messengers of the clean clothes?"
These strong men not only carry blades, but also their clothes are very clean and tidy, they are the leaders of the beggar gang here, the beggar gang is divided into the elder of the clean clothes and the elders of the flower clothes, the disciples of the clean clothes are mainly responsible for the sale of stolen goods and the industry of the beggar gang, and the elders of the flower clothes are leading the team to shoot the flowers and beg for food, with a clear division of labor.
The leading strong man was obese, with a pair of greedy eyes, looking at the little lady and children in the crowd, seeing that Chen Sijiu was burly and carrying a blade behind his back, he was startled at first, subconsciously reached out and touched his waist, and then wondered: "Shanzhai Water Village, where to burn incense?" ”
Chen Sijiu made a Taoist gesture: "Daozu Sanqing, Liaoyang sits in the hall." ”
The leading fat man saw Chen Sijiu coming up, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I am the beggar here to help the elders of the clean clothes, called Wang Si." ”
"Fourth Brother Wang."
Chen Sijiu first complimented, then looked at the children covered in pus in the group of beggars, and said with a light smile: "Big brother, we came to you to talk about things, we see that your flower children are in good condition, especially those who are covered in pus, we want to buy them to make medicine and refine medicine, I don't know if the eldest brother can make it convenient?" ”
As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom with his right hand.
This gold is worth two taels, and it is very valuable.
The disciples of the beggar gang around are all bright-eyed, and the dog stick in their hands is unstable, and they are drooling in their mouths when they gather around, and the income of the beggar gang disciples is not low, and they are even better than many monks, they have specific skills when they go out to beg for food, they can play and sing, and they will also beg for lip color, and the monk is almost the same as begging, but the skills are far behind.
It is easy to beg for money, and it is extremely lavish to spend money, and the beggar gang also has the custom of not making overnight money, so this group of beggars and disciples spend a lot of money, and when they get money, they go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and spend it all.
Seeing that there was a big hook on the head, the fat elder Wang had a smile on his face, and said with a grin: "It's easy to say, you just need to be covered in pus?" Do you want to be in the middle of the world, there are a lot of people in Shangdu recently, we have caught more than a dozen flowers, and we have not had time to cut them, and there is a Mongolian woman who lives, if you give enough money, we can let you open a bud, that woman is a big family, and can speak Chinese. ”
Chen Sijiu asked with a smile, "How many brothers do you beggars have?" ”
Fat Elder Wang Si said proudly: "Hey, our beggar gang is the first gang in the world, and the brothers in Shangdu are naturally indispensable, the biggest tooth shop owner here is my beggar gang, we have more than 200 disciples in clean clothes, more than 100 messengers in flower clothes, and there are 300 flower seeds, that is, the Mongolians like to catch flowers to be slaves, otherwise we have more flowers." ”
"How many have not been harvested yet?"
"There are still thirty or forty of them, brother, do you want to buy them?"
"I'll buy them all, and these two taels of gold are deposits."
Chen Sijiu threw the gold in his hand to the fat elder Wang Si, he smiled like a flower, bit it with his teeth, and made sure that it was real gold, so he said, "Do you still want that kind of pus-covered body?" This is not easy to do, it is a spell that we learned from a wizard from Miao Jiang, and we have to apply witch medicine to the wound like this, and a flower is less than ten taels of silver. ”
Chen Sijiu smiled again: "It's easy to say, let's buy them all, the wizard you said, if it's convenient, you can also introduce it to me." ”
Fat Elder Wang Si patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you are very knowledgeable, this pus-covered person begs for a lot of money, and the rich will pay for it when they see it." ”
Chen Sijiu said: "They are covered in pus, just come to refine the Five Poison Pill, take out their pus, and then transfer in the secret medicine, which can be used for practice." ”
Fat Elder Wang Si looked at Chen Sijiu with some disdain, and muttered in a low voice, "You Taoist priests are also engaged in this kind of thing? There was once a great lama of Tantric Buddhism who asked us to buy flower seeds, and what kind of dead people's fingernails, dead people's corpse oil, women's menstrual blood cloth, dead people's mouth spit, Buddha's head urine and feces were used for their secret medicine, and we beggars were more particular, although they were begging for food, but they would never use flowers to make these messy medicines. ”
Chen Sijiu's face was still indifferent, and he said with a smile: "That is, my Taoist has always paid attention to the ascension of people to heaven. ”
"You have not yet cut the flowers for me, don't touch them yet, I need to buy them to test the medicine, I will refine all kinds of secret medicine for the emperor, and there are a lot of test boys needed."
"It's easy to say, brother, how many you want, if you want a new one, we'll catch it immediately."
Chen Sijiu waved his hand, looked left and right, and wondered, "Where is your main altar?" ”
Fat Elder Wang Siqi said: "Just here in Duolun Station, there are only forty-five miles from here to Dadu, and the color eyes of Shangdu Hui Hui Zai believe in heaven and are not allowed to beg in Shangdu City, so we are all around Shangdu, and the main altar is here." ”
"Doesn't that mean that all the flowers are here?"
"Yes, I'll take you to see it."
Chen Sijiu grinned and said, "Okay, then ask Elder Wang to lead the way." ”
Saying that, he turned his head, looked at Peng Yingyu and Zhu Chongba, and explained with a serious face: "You two follow Long Jiao's caravan, I will come to look for you." ”
Zhu Chongba and Peng Yingyu wanted to speak, but when they saw Chen Sijiu's eyes full of murderous energy, they immediately understood and nodded.
Seeing this, Fat Elder Wang Si was puzzled: "You don't bring a few retinues?" Do you have enough gold and silver on you? ”
Chen Sijiu patted the Mo knife and longbow behind him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, bring enough." ”
Fat Elder Wang Si grinned greedily and said, "That's good, brother, if you don't bring a few followers, you are not afraid that we will rob you of your money when you come to our territory?" ”
Hearing his words, Chen Sijiu laughed, showed his harmless teeth of humans and animals, his eyes were serious, and said: "How can it be, you beggars have a good reputation for it, by the way, Elder Wang, I still have three taels of gold here, you take it first, and tell the local brothers to buy more wine and food, and call all the elders of your beggars' local disciples in clean clothes and flower clothes, and we will invite you to eat wine and meat." ”
Fat Elder Wang Si hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, his eyes lit up, and he squinted greedily at Chen Sijiu, as if he saw a big fat pig, and said in his heart that this person is not a fool, is it possible that he doesn't know that my beggar gang is from a tooth shop, and it is natural to abduct and sell people's teeth?
I'm afraid that if you enter the local altar of my beggar gang, you will be ordered to go in and not to come out!
Chen Sijiu thought about it again, took out another ingot of silver, more than ten taels, and said, "Buy more wine, and buy some mutton, so that every brother can drink." ”
"Eat and drink enough, so we can send you on your way!"
