Chapter IV: Mediation

The monk Zhiheng of Fulong Temple couldn't figure out why he was sitting in the temple when he was killed, and the disaster came from the sky.

He was innocent and a monk who supervised the temple, and he was suddenly pulled out of the temple by a group of maids and women on a sunny day and beaten on the street. If it weren't for the officials of Jingzhao Mansion who came to pull him out of the shrew pile and take him away, it is estimated that he would have seen the Buddha on the spot.

When he arrived at the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, he was even more confused. Did the people in Xiao Shilang's mansion say that they had molested their eldest lady this morning?

Conscience of heaven and earth! He has been living in the temple for the past two days, and he has never returned to the private house at all, and the monks in the temple can testify, why did he molest Miss Xiao?

Master Jingzhao Yin Bao originally believed him, but the subordinates of the Xiao family insisted on it, which made Lord Bao more and more confused and swaying, holding on to Fa Meng's head and only blindly muddy.

The two parties quarreled so much that in the end, no one said why. But Lord Bao, who was close to the sixtieth birthday, couldn't stand it, he was dizzy and tinnitus, holding his chest and stretching his neck. Frightened, the master hurriedly announced his withdrawal from the hall, and carried the adults to the back hall with the public hulala.

In this way, Zhiheng was thrown in front of the Xiao family alone. Thereupon...... The result can be imagined, fat beating is inevitable, it is just a matter of taking a few beatings.

Xiao Fu put down the cruel words, and in the future, this Zhiheng monk will be beaten once he sees it.

Pity this fat monk, holding his head and trying to shrink into a round ball of meat, his face was covered with snot and tears, and he was beaten by the crowd, so he could only shout in his mouth: "The Buddha crossed me!" ”

……

At the beginning of the day, the night is getting darker. Fang Manlou, the largest brothel in the capital, is lit up like day at the moment, and the guests are like clouds.

But if you look closely, you'll find that tonight's guests are a little weird. Not all of them were dressed in fine clothes as usual, many of them wore cloth clothes, and there were even a few beggars in ragged clothes.

The old bustard of Fang Manlou did not commit snobbery today, but actually stood outside the door to greet the guests, and all the guests who entered the door no matter how they dressed, they were attentive and thoughtful and smiled Yan Yan.

At this moment, in the largest Tianzihao private room upstairs, Bai Xinqi, the owner of Huisheng Pawnshop, was looking at Shang with a smiling face, his buttocks were only next to a stool, and his eyes were full of respectful flattery:

"Enye is clever and clever, and the villain really admires it. Well, it's admiration for the five-body throw, the five-body throw. ”

Qin Zhuen, who was at the top, lazily slumped on the circle chair, stepped on a pastel embroidered pier with one foot, and the front placket of the vermilion brocade forging hero on his body was wide open, faintly revealing the bulging tendons and flesh under the small clothes.

Listening to Bai Xinqi's flattery, he raised his eyelids and reached out to block the wine fed by the prostitute's red sleeves: "This thing is done, is Boss Bai still satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied......" Bai Xinqi nodded like pounding garlic, and suddenly remembered something after half of the answer, hurriedly got up, took out a brocade box, and bowed down to present it.

"This is what the grandfather wants, and the villain doesn't dare to slack off. Look, things are the same. ”

Qin Zhuen casually tugged at the corners of his mouth, stretched out a finger and "snapped" to pick open the lid of the box, and suddenly a piece of crystal clear and colorful blood amber came into everyone's eyes.

Fu, Lu, and Shou stood behind Qin Zhuen and tried to stretch their necks to look at it, which was a long insight.

Even the prostitute who had seen some of the world's faces on the side couldn't help but get up.

Qin Zhuen smiled slightly, closed the lid casually, and nodded again: "It's such a thing!" The quality can also be eye-catching. Okay, thank you Boss Bai! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" When Bai Xinqi heard this, he hurriedly bent his waist lower, "What the lord wants, the villain should give it to himself." What's more, what's more, Enye also helped the villain so much.

"Back then, the villain was a muddy man, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling ruined the family business, and even the ancestral house was paid off to the Zhiheng monk of Fulong Temple to pay off the debt. Originally, it was said that when the villain made a fortune, he would redeem the ancestral house with silver money. But who knew that a few years later, Zhiheng didn't admit it. only said that the feng shui of the house was extremely prosperous, and he helped him to ascend to the prison temple. No matter how the villain begged, and promised several times the money, Zhiheng just refused to sell it back.

"The villain can't do it anymore. At this time, Enye sent someone to Huisheng Zhai to redeem this blood pearl. But the villain didn't dare to accept the ransom from the lord when he was killed. Thanks to the high righteousness of the graceful man, let the villain get what he wants......"

"Well said." Qin Zhuen looked at Bai Xinqi and smiled: "It's not a big deal. Who made your ancestral house have a good location, right opposite the embroidery building of Xiao Shilang's daughter. What do you think? Then the monk returned the ancestral house to you? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Bai Xinqi praised again and again, "Grace is wonderful! Yesterday, Zhiheng came to find the villain with a swollen face like a pig's head, and wanted to sell the house at a price of seventy percent. But the villain remembered the teachings of the lord and did not dare to be greedy and dampen his virtue, so he still redeemed the ancestral house at the original price. Yesterday, he and Zhiheng went to the government to exchange the house deed. ”

"That's good." Qin Zhuen raised his chin as he said and nodded at the stool under his head.

Bai Xinqi hurriedly put down the brocade box in his hand and sat back on the stool, and said flatteringly: "Enye Young Hero!" Success at a young age! ”

He smiled and looked at the three people behind him: "A few years ago, the villain traveled to the north and south to do business, and I have heard of and seen a few heroes.

"Needless to say, the beggar gang is self-explanatory, everyone knows that the old gang leader Hong who has just passed away is the leader of the eighteen dragons. Xie Daxia of the Cao Gang Plum Blossom Hall, with a nine-section whip of plum blossoms, made him superb.

"There is also Brother Sanshou, the villain is fortunate to have a relationship with him and has seen his kung fu with his own eyes. Needless to say, there is no need to say light work, and then there is that set of Taibai out of the mountain boxing to beat the tiger and the tiger is impenetrable!

"Enye can lead the three major gangs in Beijing, and all of them are convinced, he must have extremely high and powerful skills. It's just that I don't know what Enye's stunt is? ”

"Master's stunt?" Qin Zhuen glanced at Bai Xinqi, and then leaned forward with a smile, Bai Xinqi hurriedly bowed to meet him, but listened to Qin Zhuen's words:

"Lord's stunt is...... Lord's maternal uncle is the current emperor......"

"Uh...... cough cough cough ......" Bai Xinqi's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he couldn't sit or stand with half of his ass. "Well, Enye is witty......" He held his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his head, and raised his eyes to see Lu Sanshou glaring at him.

"Well said, well said." Lord Qin smiled and leaned back into the circle chair, with a haha in his mouth, "Since it is Sanshou's friendship, the master naturally wants to take a high look."

"I've heard that Boss Bai is a business wizard. However, in a few years, not only paid off the huge gambling debts, but also opened pawnshops all over the capital. The master has always respected those who have the ability. What will happen on the street in the future...... There has to be a lot of trouble from Boss Laobai. ”

As soon as Bai Xinqi heard this, he immediately didn't care about the many people present, got up and lifted his robe, plopped down and knelt on the ground: "It is a great blessing for a villain to be sent by his father." ”

Most of the thieves and gangsters in the Green and Red Society are on the streets, and they have always flaunted the banner of "stealing evil and helping the poor". The reason why Qin Zhuen admired his face to meet Bai Xinqi today was that to put it bluntly, he still fell in love with the pawnshops he opened all over the capital, and it would be convenient for his brothers of the Qinghong Gang to sell the stolen goods in the future.

Bai Xinqi is such a well-behaved person. This is a person who usually can't pick up the edge when he is in a hurry! This time, Qin Zhuen actually took the initiative to hand over a pole, and he couldn't wait to kowtow his head and climb up! In the future, he will also be regarded as Qin Zhuen's disciple.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a rough voice outside the door laughing loudly: "Elder Qin arrived first!" The old man is coming late. Excuse me! As he spoke, the curtain was raised, and an old man came in.

The old man was dry and thin, with a dull yellow face and a bitter face, and he also wore satin, but the good clothes looked like they had been borrowed from him.

Qin Zhuen sat still, and the corners of his mouth slowly provoked a polite smile. Bai Xinqi knew the opportunity, made a busy gesture, and quietly withdrew from the private room.

"Elder Wu, don't come unharmed!" As if he had no bones, Qin Zhuen raised his hand and arched at will, and the whole person seemed to be piled up in that circle chair.

Wu Changqing's face stiffened, but then he clenched his fists and gave his hands, and played all the way to the first place in the next place, and sat down in his robe.

This Wu Changqing has been in the beggar gang all his life, and finally mixed with an eight-bag elder, if he has the ability, he must have it. Otherwise, he is always called Hanako, why should he deserve to hang eight rice pockets?

The scheming city is naturally deep. A young offspring is so contemptuous, even if he has one more pocket than him, but his age is there after all, and ordinary people can't hang it on their faces if they can't keep it. But he was stunned as if he was fine, and continued to talk and laugh.

However, the group of disciples and grandchildren who followed behind Wu Changqing did not have this city government, and a few of them had no anger on their faces.

Qin Zhuen glanced at it slightly, and the corners of his mouth provoked a sneer. In such a peaceful year, if you look good and look for a good businessman, who will come out to ask for food? In the younger generation of this beggar's gang, it is really not as good as a stubble.

There is also this Wu Changqing, since he gained power, he has also begun to learn the style of rich people, buy houses and govern land, and make slaves call maids.

It is said that the more you lack something, the more you love to pretend to be something, this old man is not only a flower leader, but also loves to talk about pomp and circumstance. But when I went out, I brought a string of small flowers behind me to fill the faΓ§ade.

It's just a score, and it's actually put in front of his Qin Lord's grace! Sure enough, he was blind!

Wu Changqing didn't know what Qin Zhuen was thinking, so he sat down with a full shelf.

At this moment, the curtain of the door was lifted again, and a person hurriedly walked in. As soon as the man saw Qin Zhuen on the throne, his face immediately became even more flustered, and he hurriedly shook it to the end: "Lu Qian is late, please punish the hall master." ”

Wu Changqing pursed his lips and showed a disdainful sneer.

Qin Zhuen laughed, nodded to the chair under his head and said, "It's me who came early." Originally, I was meeting you when I was arguing, but I was ...... because of his family's Oiran red sleeves Haha, I deliberately came a little earlier. I don't blame you. ”

Lu Qian became more and more sincerely frightened, and gave another salute, almost touching the ground with his head: "Thank you for your generosity." ”

After worshipping, he came to the position on the left hand side of Qin Zhuen, and sat opposite Wu Changqing, but the two of them did not greet each other, and they didn't even look at each other.

Qin Zhuen smiled and said, "One is the eight-bag elder of my beggar gang, and the other is a well-known figure in my Cao gang, both of whom are my Qin Zhuen's brothers. Now this scene is a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple. I am so shy that when I am your elder and the head of the hall, I will reconcile and reconcile you. Brothers and harmony are ......"

"Hehe......" Lord Qin listened to Wu Changqing's strange smile before he finished speaking, "Elder Qin said lightly. If the big green hat was buckled on Elder Qin's head, I am afraid it would not be the remarks he has made now. ”

Tong Dafu on the side couldn't help coughing dryly, shook his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his head, peeked at Qin Zhuen, and sure enough, he looked at Wu Changqing with a smile on his face.

Lu Qian frowned, pursed his lips, and continued: "I have explained this matter in front of the hall master and the two brothers of the Beggar Gang and the Cao Gang before. Li Xingxiang and I have had a marriage contract since we were children, and we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. That year, the village was washed away by the flood in my hometown, and I was exiled in the rivers and lakes, and I have lost my word with her since then.

"It's also the fate of my previous life, and I don't want to meet again in Beijing. I only learned that Xingxiang's parents were infected with the epidemic and passed away in the year of the hair. She was sold by her uncle to be a maid in Elder Wu's mansion. In the past two years, because of Xingxiang's outstanding ability, she has been more and more valued by Elder Wu, and a few days ago, she set up a banquet to marry her.

"But after all, Xingxiang and I are the orders of our parents, and we are both affectionate and righteous. So I whispered and begged Elder Wu to promise several times the value of silver to redeem Xingxiang. Elder Wu refused to do so. Lu Qian really couldn't make this decision......"

"Yo, Lu Daguan is still chewing the words!" Wu Changqing's voice was like a pair of rusty scissors, squeaking and grinding people's ears painfully, "What's the solution?" It's just a pair of adulterers and adulteresses who shamelessly eloped! If this is put in that face-saving place, it would be strange if you don't sink your dog man and woman into the pond! ”

Saying this, even Erlu and Sanshou couldn't help but look at him, and Daifuku couldn't wait to stuff his head into his crotch at the moment.

"Yo! Look at what Elder Wu said! Qin Zhuen was almost angry, "I've become a shameless place here?!" ”

Wu Changqing raised his eyes to look at Qin Zhuen, and suddenly smiled "hehe" for a while, revealing a mouth full of yellow and black rotten teeth, "Elder Qin is too careful!" It's just that although the children of the beggar gang are all unpopular called flowers, they all have backbone! Never steal from people, let alone steal! ”

Suddenly, the faces of everyone present were wonderful. Wu Changqing scolded the Cao Gang and the Qinghong Society in just one sentence!

But it was very encouraging, and the group of stupid little beggars behind him immediately stood tall and made a proud and glorious appearance.

Qin Zhuen looked at Wu Changqing, his eyes showed a cold light, and he slowly pulled the corners of his mouth for a while: "Elder Wu is talking about this thing, right?" ”

"Smack", a box was thrown onto the table in front of Wu Changqing, it was the piece of blood that Bai Xinqi had just offered!
