16. Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys
Familiar, of course.
A month ago, Su Qin asked her to secretly inquire about Zhao Laide's news.
"Moreover, what Zhao Laide has in his hands is still the Huoyun Grass that can help martial arts practitioners sense qi and blood...... You say it's a coincidence......"
"Ahem......" Su Qin couldn't help but cough a few times, interrupting Yu Niang.
At this time, the shopkeeper came over and put the things that Su Qin wanted.
"Xiao Wu, you go to the back kitchen to help...... I'll entertain you first in the tavern. Yu Niang greeted.
"Hey, okay Jade Lady."
The shopkeeper saw that Yu Niang and Su Qin had something to discuss, so he agreed and retreated.
Su Qin tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and Yu Niang looked at him meaningfully, not in a hurry.
"I owe you a favor for this." Su Qin took a big sip of rice wine and said in a low voice:
"I'm already a Skin Refining Martial Artist."
Zhao Laide's matter is too risky and involves the Zhao family.
He had to make Yu Niang feel that it was worth helping him hide it.
Yu Niang's eyes suddenly lit up, the favor of a martial artist is still very valuable, especially in today's troubled times.
Originally, she just wanted to find Su Qin's joke and scare him, but she didn't expect that the other party would directly give her a big surprise.
"Martial Master...... When was this? ”
"Last night." Now that he has said it, Su Qin does not intend to hide it.
"Last night......" Yu Niang just thought about it slightly, and then understood.
Suddenly, she looked at Su Qin and asked slowly, "Dong Bao...... You killed it too? ”
Su Qin was silent, but Yu Niang already knew the answer.
Finally, Yu Niang looked at Su Qin with a look that she had never seen before.
The young man in front of him not only knows how to forbear, but also does things very calmly and decisively.
Even after killing someone, you can still have the leisure to come here to drink.
Since joining the martial arts hall, she has become more and more unable to understand the teenager in front of her.
Fortunately, I helped Su Qin a lot when he was in the most difficult time.
"Don't worry, Dong Bao's matter, everyone thinks that it was killed by the Flying Fish Gang."
Yu Niang smiled, "Moreover, you don't have to worry that Zhao Laide's matter will find out about you...... Zhao Laide went to a lot of places last night...... plus the Green Snake Gang and the Flying Fish Gang, because of Dong Bao's affairs, they are busy dog-eat-dog. ”
"There's no time to care about Zhao Laide now."
Yu Niang was very curious, there was such a person who was willing to work for Su Qin, but she didn't ask much.
Su Qin also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
In fact, he came here today, mainly because he was worried that Zhao Laide's matter would be exposed, so he came here to inquire about the news.
Fortunately, although Zhao Laide is honest, he is not stupid, and he didn't go directly to Peach Blossom Lane to throw Huoyun Grass to him.
But this also means that he was caught by the Flying Fish last night at a very high risk.
'Uncle Zhao. Su Qin's heart was complicated, and he poured a large sip of rice wine fiercely.
Whether it is the Green Snake Gang, the Flying Fish Gang, or the Zhao family, he is all keeping accounts in his heart.
If he wants to take revenge, it is not too late for a hundred years and a thousand years, and these debts will be recovered sooner or later.
Seeing that Su Qin was in a bad mood, Yu Niang asked the shopkeeper to bring a jar of wine, and smiled like a flower:
"How much you drink tonight, how much I drink with you......"
……
Night.
The people of the Green Snake Gang found Su Qin.
"Brother Su, how is it, are you interested in joining my Green Snake Gang."
A small leader of the Green Snake Gang looked at Su Qin with a proud face, although he was not a martial artist, he had also practiced in the martial arts hall for a period of time, and he sensed qi and blood.
It's a pity that I didn't understand the true meaning.
Even so, his pair of black iron palms, coupled with the ruthlessness of not being afraid of death, also made a lot of limelight...... He is confident that as long as he is not a martial artist, he will never lose to others.
And he also inquired clearly, Su Qin was just a junior apprentice who didn't even sense qi and blood.
Moreover, I was a scholar before!
He smiled and said, "As long as you join this gang, this Peach Blossom Lane will belong to you, Brother Su." ”
Su Qin only felt a little funny in his heart.
"Thank you to the Green Snake Gang for looking at it, but I don't want to cause trouble...... The life of licking blood from the knife is too exciting, and I can't stand it. ”
This time, Su Qin said the real truth.
"If that's the case, then don't bother Brother Su."
This person didn't talk much nonsense, and turned around and left.
The people who join the martial arts hall are not very rare, if it weren't for the lack of manpower in the gang, he wouldn't be bothered to recruit them.
"A scholar is a scholar, even if he learns martial arts, he is just a sheep in wolf's clothing!"
……
Two days later, Peach Blossom Lane ushered in a new steward - Bai Gui.
As the name suggests, he is a white and fat man with a rich face, just like a rich family, and he always has a smile on his face.
As soon as he took office, he took five followers to collect money.
"Hasn't Master Leopard already received this month's money!"
Someone was unwilling to pay, Bai Gui was still smiling, and the five followers behind him were beaten violently.
When everyone was almost around, he smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Neighbors, the contemptible Bai Gui is the new steward of this Peach Blossom Lane...... I'm new here, and I hope you don't make it difficult for me. ”
Bai Gui pointed to the wailing residents lying on the ground, "I don't think anyone wants something like this to happen just now. ”
The residents of Peach Blossom Lane, who had just been happy for two days, instantly turned like earth.
It's just that before they could recover from it, Bai Gui dropped a sentence lightly, "From now on, the money in Peach Blossom Lane will change from the original fifteen dollars to twenty dollars...... Give you a day to prepare, and I'll come and collect it tomorrow. ”
With that, he left with five followers.
'This Bai Gui, it's obvious that he came here today to make an example of the chickens. ’
Su Qin squinted his eyes and glanced at the family lying on the ground wailing, he could only say that the family was too unlucky.
As soon as Bai Gui left, the crowd exploded instantly.
"Not long ago, I paid fifteen big dollars, and now I have to pay again, it's still twenty big money...... Where can I find so much money! ”
"The Green Snake Gang, it's really murderous without seeing blood!"
"I didn't expect the leopard master to die, but there was a smiling tiger who became even more intensified! I can't live this day! It's better to live than the leopard master! ”
The people around were talking about it, like mourning, and they couldn't wait for the leopard master to come back to life.
These have nothing to do with Su Qin, no matter who comes in place, as long as the backing mountain martial arts hall has not fallen, he does not need to pay money.
……
The next day.
Bai Gui came to collect the money as scheduled.
No matter how hard the residents of Peach Blossom Lane scolded, they could only pay obediently.
When Bai Gui passed by Su Qin's house, he came over to greet him, but he didn't give money like Dong Bao, he just came to say hello.
"The little Chu of the old Chu family has entered the martial arts hall!" Someone outside suddenly shouted.
Bai Gui's originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy.
I only notified him yesterday that he was going to collect money today, and the other party would join the martial arts hall today, isn't this a slap in the face!
But he quickly put on a smile again and said to Su Qin:
"Brother Su, I won't bother you."
