Liu Yan slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table with a cold face, and then said in a cold voice: "I thought it was a heroic man from the ancient town who came to beg for a glass of wine, who knew that he was just a ruffian hooligan, and he dared to bark in front of the general flag!" ”

Song Long didn't speak, but his face was ugly.

At this time, a scarred face behind Song Long walked over, directly lifted the outermost table, and then roared wildly: "You little flag officer, what madness!" My eldest brother wants your monthly filial piety, that is to look up to you, do you understand! ”

The four dun soldiers behind Liu Yan were suddenly furious, and they all drew their knives and were about to go up to cut people, and the six or seven ruffians behind Song Long also picked up sticks and iron rulers and shouted and scolded forward, and the two sides were about to start.

At this time, Song Long waved his hand, and the ruffians stopped making noise, only the ruffian who spoke just now said: "Big brother, you asked me to abolish this general flag officer who doesn't know the height of the sky, and let him know that this is the Ancient Town Inspection Division, not his Wangjiazhuang!" ”

Song Long sneered and said, "You, what's the hurry? It's good to let Liu Zongqi go back and think about it, if you do it now, let others see it, and think that our Song family is bullying! ”

"Yes, Big Brother is right!"

Liu Yan was not afraid at all, walked up to Song Long, and then put the Yanling knife he carried with him on Song Long's shoulder. Although this Yanling knife was not unsheathed, Song Long still felt the slightest coolness, and couldn't help frowning, staring at Liu Yan deadly.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly, now I'll give you one more chance, reorganize and say it again! ”

Song Long didn't expect Liu Yan to be so tough, hesitated slightly, and then said: "Liu Zongqi don't do this, I advise you to go back and think about it again, after all, this is the Ancient Town Inspection Division." If you really get into trouble with me, don't even think about your Dapanbao stuff from here in the future! ”

After speaking, Song Longtie was about to leave with a blushing face, but he was stopped by the Yanling knife in Liu Yan's hand, and he turned back suddenly, but saw Liu Yan's sharp eyes, staring at him, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Stiff?"

Liu Yan snorted coldly and said: "Since you want to play, then I will accompany you to play, today you stirred up the banquet, I will teach you to be a man first!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yan pulled out the Yanling knife, and the four dun soldiers behind him had already drawn their sabers and were about to fight.

Seeing this, those businessmen immediately turned pale with fright, and they stepped forward to dissuade them, stopping Liu Yan and the others, and many people ran to Song Long and kept saying good things, for fear that Song Long would get angry.

Song Long saw that Liu Yan really dared to draw a knife, and his heart was also a little weak, so he took a few steps back and said angrily to those businessmen: "You have all seen today's events, my Song family and Liu Yan are incompatible, if any of you do business with Liu Yan again, don't blame me Song Long for not being emotional!" ”

After speaking, Song Long turned around and left, the ruffian who spoke just now glared at Liu Yan, and walked away with a tense face, and the rest of the ruffians also scolded and walked away.

After Song Long and the others left, the businessmen at these tables all looked at Liu Yan with their heads downcast, and a few businessmen who still had some face said sorry to Liu Yan, and then left with their fists hugged, it seemed that they were not ready to have any more dealings with Liu Yan, and most of the businessmen left directly with their heads bored, and they didn't pay attention to Liu Yan at all, which was very different from their previous attitude.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was furious in his heart, and immediately checked out and left the Swift Building, and after returning to the inn under the charter, he thought about what happened today.

"Song Long? The surname Song, does it have anything to do with the inspection of Song Gongming? ”

Liu Yan thought for a while, then called two dun soldiers and asked them to invite a merchant from the ancient town who was quite faceless to the inn for questioning tonight.

"Captain A, what if people don't come?"

Liu Yan said: "Not coming? If he is afraid of that Song Long and doesn't dare to come, you will tie people up for me!" ”

In the evening, the businessman surnamed Qi was "invited" by two dun soldiers, looked at Liu Yan with some fear, and said: "Liu Zongqi, I really can't help it, please ask Liu Zongqi to raise your noble hand, don't get along with me, a small merchant and a hawker!" ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, Shopkeeper Qi, I invited you over so late, not to talk about business, but to ask about something." ”

The shopkeeper of Naqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good!" Liu Zongqi didn't know that on our side of the ancient town, Song Long's words were the law, and no one dared to disobey it. Otherwise, you will be driven out of the ancient town, or your family will disappear, and you don't know if you live or die! ”

Liu Yan sneered and said, "It seems that Song Long is still a bully!" ”

"It's a bully!"

"Then please ask the shopkeeper Qi to tell me what kind of way that Song Long came from, and I also know it."

Shopkeeper Qi hesitated for a moment, but looking at Liu Yan and the several dun soldiers behind Liu Yan, his heart also trembled, and he still said obediently.

"Liu Zongqi should know that this ancient town was originally a prosperous commercial town under the rule of Lingshanwei, so the imperial court set up an inspection department here, just like Wangjiazhuang, it is a hundred households."

Liu Yan nodded, he naturally knew this, so he said: "Speaking of which, then Song Long has something to do with the Ancient Town Inspection Division?" ”

"It's not just something to do with it!"

Shopkeeper Qi sighed and said, "Speaking of which, that Song Long is the nephew of Song Gongming, the inspector of the Hundred Households of the Ancient Town Inspection Division!" Song Long was responsible for managing Song Gongming's industries around the ancient town on weekdays, and with the silver in his hands, he raised more than 300 wanderers, which was very powerful. At the same time, it is said that the Song family also relied on strong money and Song Gongming's 100 official bodies to train 30 families in the house. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Three hundred wanderers are just a rabble, so don't worry. Those thirty family members are still a little threatening, but compared to the dun army under my command, they can't be on the stage! ”

The reason why Liu Yan said this was completely deliberately for the shopkeeper of Qi, and he wanted to spread it through the mouth of the shopkeeper of Qi, so that the merchants in the ancient town would clearly know the strength of Dapanbao.

However, Liu Yan also understood that after all, Dapanbao was in the distance, but the Song family was in front of him, and those merchants in the ancient town must still be inclined to fear Song Long and his gang. However, it is still necessary for Liu Yan to show his strength in a timely manner.

Who knew that the shopkeeper Qi laughed and said: "Don't be surprised by Mr. Liu, although Mr. Liu also has some horses in his hands, it is understandable that he can't look down on the more than 300 wanderers, but the thirty Song family members should not be underestimated." ”

"It's not that you are underestimating the dun army of Dapan Fort, those thirty Song family members are well-trained, and they are by no means something that ordinary dun troops can compete with, even if there are many people."

At this time, Liu Yan was also interested and asked, "Why did Shopkeeper Qi say that?" ”

"Liu Zongqi, as far as I know: every family member of the Song family is equipped with armor, even firecrackers and bows and arrows, thirty people are equipped with a lot of firecrackers and bows and arrows, and almost everyone can open a strong bow and put firecrackers! It can be said that the Song patrol has invested a lot of money to build, and completely trained those thirty family members as elite battalions! ”

"Oh?"

Now Liu Yan was interested, but he didn't expect that Song Gongming, who was inspecting, would have such a vision, and he would be willing to spend such a capital to temper his own people, it seems that the arrogance of the Song family also has capital.

"Also, today in the Swift Tower, what is the name of the dogleg next to Song Long? I think he's very arrogant. ”

The shopkeeper Qi said: "That person, this person's name is Zhao Maqun, he is the number one henchman under Song Long, he is ruthless, and he has done a lot of things that hurt nature and reason in the ancient town, and it is common to ignore people's lives and rape ~ adulterous women, and many pickled things in the Song family are done by this Zhao Maqun." ”

"Since that's the case, I understand."

Liu Yan sneered in his heart, isn't this Song family the underworld of the late Ming Dynasty~ will? And it is also an underworld society with a Song patrol inspection ~ umbrella ~ society. However, in the era of the late Ming Dynasty, Song Long and these people should be called bullies.

"Looks like I'm going to have a sweep~ black storm!" Liu Yan said in his heart

The shopkeeper Qi looked at the thoughtful Liu Yan, and thought that Liu Yan was frightened by the power of the Song family, so he kindly persuaded: "Liu Zongqi, there are many businessmen in this world, Liu Zongqi might as well go elsewhere to see, we don't have the life to make a fortune, and we can't earn this silver, but Liu Zongqi, you can find another way, and you can't go-for-tat with the Song family!" ”

Liu Yan laughed and said, "I, Liu Yan, have never been frightened by anyone, and a Song family doesn't have this ability!" The business of the ancient town, I have done it! ”

After speaking, Liu Yan stopped the shopkeeper Qi who wanted to persuade him again, and said: "I'm tired of the shopkeeper Qi tonight, and after I go back, I will ask the shopkeeper Qi to have a word with the shopkeepers." ”

Seeing that Liu Yan was unmoved, the shopkeeper Qi sighed, hugged his fists and said, "What does Liu Zongqi want to bring, please speak." ”

"The shopkeeper Qi will tell the shopkeeper: The days when the Song family covers the sky with one hand in the ancient town will not be too long, and it won't be long before I, Liu Yan, let Song Long and Song Patrol know what strength is!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Qi still didn't believe it, although Liu Yan was the chief flag officer, he was the chief flag officer of Wangjiazhuang, and he was not as high as the Song patrol inspector in terms of official position, what could he do to compete with the Song family?

The shopkeeper shook his head and got up and prepared to go back, but when he walked to the door, he couldn't help but say: "Liu Zongqi is still careful, in my opinion, then Song Long will send someone over in the next two days, I don't know what pickling methods will be used, Liu Zongqi still avoids its edge, go back to Dapanbao first, let's come to Japan!" ”

"I avoid him?"

Liu Yan laughed, then got up and sent the shopkeeper Qi out, and called two dun soldiers to escort the shopkeeper Qi all the way home.

But what Liu Yan didn't expect was that something happened early the next morning. A dun soldier who went to the street to buy grain passed by the door of the door of the shopkeeper Qi, and saw that the door of the shopkeeper Qi's house was open, so he went in to take a look out of curiosity.

This looks good, I saw that the six members of the shopkeeper Qi's family were all lying neatly in the courtyard, and they had all been killed!

The Dunjun's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran back to the inn to report the news.

Liu Yan, who learned the news, was furious, he didn't expect Song Long to be so vicious, and he actually used the lives of the six members of the Qi shopkeeper to shock himself, so careless of human life, Liu Yan had a lot of murderous intent in his heart.

Then Liu Yan came to the house of the shopkeeper of Qi with a team of dun soldiers, and the strange thing is that the people who came and went must have discovered the tragedy of the Qi family a long time ago, but no one went in to check, no one reported to the official, and no one even dared to stay nearby.

Liu Yan didn't care about a lot, and took the Dudun army to collect the shopkeeper Qi's family, sent it to Yizhuang in the ancient town inspection fort to settle down, and then returned to the inn with a frown.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yan heard someone shouting to him, and when he looked back, it was Song Long's number one dog-legged Zhao Maqun.

Liu Yan's eyes widened, and he said with a sneer: "Hmph! It came at the right time! ”
