Chapter 37: The Past
"Protector Li is dead?"
Gou Dai's face was full of disbelief, and he asked, "What about the other two people who died?" Is there Chen Tang? ”
"There is no Chen Tang."
The evil wolf helped the younger brother and said: "I heard from the arrester who closed the case that it was our Li Protector who went to the house of a person surnamed Xu to steal and kill someone, and was accidentally killed by the master's family." ”
Gou Dai was completely stunned.
He asked Li Tao to kill Chen Tang, why did Li Tao go to someone else's house to steal?
And then someone killed?
"The Xu family?"
Mei Yingxue's heart moved, and she suddenly asked, "Which Xu family?" ”
The wolf gang brother gave an address.
Mei Yingxue hurriedly asked: "Then there is a servant girl in the Xu family, how is she, but she is still alive?" ”
"Then it's not clear." The little brother of the Evil Wolf Gang shook his head, looked at Gou Dai again, and said, "Young master, the helper asked you to go home now, he has something to ask." ”
Gou Dai's mind was already in a mess, so he just nodded subconsciously.
Wolves.
'Evil Wolf' Gou Ying sat in the center of the gang leader's seat, his face gloomy.
The Evil Wolf Gang originally had four masters, known as jackals, tigers and leopards.
Lao Chai has a good brain and is good at scheming, and the Evil Wolf Gang can have today, and Lao Chai accounts for half of the credit.
The wolf is the leader of the camp.
The tiger is the 'tiger' Hu Wan sitting below, with a burly body, second only to the gang leader in terms of combat power, and is also another protector.
The leopard is the leopard Li Tao.
Today, there are only two jackals, tigers and leopards left, and the losses are heavy!
"Daddy!"
At this moment, Gou Dai was supported by all the servants and walked in from outside.
"Brute!"
When Gou Ying saw Gou Dai's appearance, he was angry and scolded: "What did I tell you before, during this time, don't make trouble for me!" Try not to go out at night, if you have to go out, you should go with more than 10 people! ”
Gou Dai was scolded by splitting his head and covering his face, and suddenly felt full of grievances, and said: "Father, I don't blame me for this, I just asked Li Protector to go out and help me kill someone, who would want him to go to someone else's house to steal things......"
"Fart!"
Gou Ying was furious, picked up the teacup next to him, threw it at Gou Dai's face, and smashed it to the point that his head was bleeding.
Gou Dai was stupid, his forehead was bleeding, but he still didn't dare to move.
He had never seen his father so angry.
Gou Ying was still puzzled, walked down, pointed at Gou Dai and scolded: "Use your dog brain to think about it, is Li Tao short of money?" Is it necessary for him to run to someone else's house to steal? It's obviously calculated! ”
Gou Dai used his brain and asked tentatively: "Father, could it be Chen Tang'......?"
"Smack!"
Gou Ying slapped back and scolded: "The gang has reached the brink of life and death, what are you still thinking about Chen Tang here, thinking about the of fighting for the wind and being jealous!" ”
"This is obviously the work of the Blackwater Gang!"
Behind Gou Ying stood a gray-haired old man, who had followed Gou Ying for many years, and was considered the steward of the Evil Wolf Gang, and he also had a lot of status in the gang.
"Master, this matter can't be judged lightly, after all, there is no evidence." Steward Liu said with a deep groan.
"Who else but the Blackwater?"
Gou Ying said: "This group of aliens is really black enough, cut off my right arm, and gradually eat away at the power of my evil wolf gang. The next step is to eat us all! ”
A month ago, Lao Chai died.
The few territories he occupies under his command are naturally targeted by the Blackwater Gang.
The Wolves didn't want to clash head-on with the Blackwater, so they let it go.
It's just that Gou Ying didn't expect that the Blackwater Gang was still not satisfied, and after a month, he actually attacked again, killed Li Tao, and broke his arm again!
"Helper, what do you say, do you want to call the brothers and fight with them!"
Tiger Hu Wan said loudly.
Gou Ying's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and then he released it again, repeating this several times before shaking his head and saying, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it must not be reckless." ”
Then he looked at Gou Dai again, and said slowly: "Next, you give me a stop, don't go out without my order!" ”
……
Chen Tang naturally didn't expect that the two people he killed would break the balance of the two underworld forces in Changze County.
The situation, which was originally relatively peaceful, has also become tense, and undercurrents are surging.
Not long after sending Meng Liangyu away, Chen Tang went to the street for a walk, bought some clothes suitable for a little girl about ten years old, and bought some food and daily necessities, until all the money on his body was spent, and then went home.
When I arrived at the door of the house, I happened to see Mei Yingxue riding over.
"Chen Tang, I heard that little girl was sent to your house by Meng Zhutou?"
Mei Yingxue went out to inquire around, and then she knew about it and immediately rushed over.
"Well, it wasn't long before I arrived."
Chen Tang replied and took Mei Yingxue into the house.
Push the door in, and the heating hits your face.
The fat old man, Qing Mu and Zhiwei were all there, sitting around the table.
Although Zhiwei's face is still red and swollen, his little face has been washed clean, and he is carefully holding a cup of hot tea in both hands and blowing gently.
Seeing Chen Tang come in, Zhiwei smiled.
"This is Miss Mei Yingxue Mei, I just met at the door, and she came forward to stop the family yesterday." Chen Tang introduced to the three people in the room.
Qing Mu smiled: "It turned out to be Sister Yingxue, come and sit." ”
"Qing, Sister Qingmu."
Mei Yingxue tried to call.
Every time she came to Chen Tang's house and saw this cousin, she felt a little uncomfortable.
The other party is so beautiful.
It's so beautiful that she is a little ashamed of herself.
Chen Tang's sister has an inexplicable temperament, so that she can't even give birth to the slightest heart of comparison.
Zhiwei said softly: "Sister Mei, I remember your voice, thank you yesterday." ”
"Hmm."
When Mei Yingxue saw Zhiwei, she relaxed and said with a smile: "When I heard the news, I thought in my heart, it is really the reincarnation of heaven, and evil has evil retribution." ”
"Sit down."
Chen Tang motioned to Mei Yingxue.
It's not a big room, and the space is a little cramped when five people get together.
Chen Tang said: "I bought you some new clothes, and when I am free, let your sister Mu help me change them." ”
"Thank you, Brother Tang."
Zhi's smiling eyes bent again, and the joy and happiness in his heart were all written on his face.
Mei Yingxue seemed to think of something, took out a dozen taels of silver from her arms, handed it to Chen Tang and said, "I went out in a hurry this time, and I didn't have much money on me, you can accept these silver." ”
"It doesn't have to be."
Chen Tang said: "My uncle and sister also have a bit of a family background. ”
Mei Yingxue said: "Don't shirk, this is for the child." ”
Chen Tang: "......"
Some memories of his previous life were suddenly awakened and he began to attack wildly.
"What were you guys talking about?"
Chen Tang hurriedly diverted the topic.
Zhiwei said: "Talking about some legends and stories on the rivers and lakes, Grandpa Chen knows a lot. ”
The fat old man looked at Zhiwei with satisfaction and nodded.
This girl is really good, she knows how to praise people.
Zhiwei said: "Brother Tang, you will be a famous hero in the future, and you will write your own legend." ”
"Hero?"
Chen Tang pursed his lips and said, "I don't deserve it." ”
"Why?"
This time, several people present were a little puzzled.
Chen Tang said: "When that thing is too tired, if something is slightly wrong, it will be pointed out by thousands of people, and I don't dare to go shopping...... Ahem, I'd better be a mediocre swordsman. ”
"It's probably quite fun to wander the rivers and lakes."
When the fat old man heard this, he snorted lightly and said, "The rivers and lakes are not as beautiful as you imagined. There are intrigues, deceit, and countless grievances, vendettas, and disputes. ”
"I understand that."
Chen Tang said: "What you said is everywhere, above the temple, the conspiracy is a hundred times better than the rivers and lakes." Maybe a word or an order from a person in the court can cause a monstrous disaster, and countless people will die for it. Compared with the bloody rain and bloody wind in the rivers and lakes, it is too far behind. ”
Mei Yingxue, these young people don't necessarily understand these words.
The fat old man lived to this age, and after going through the world, he heard this and thought about it.
Chen Tang said: "Although there are many bad things in the rivers and lakes, what they yearn for has always been a life of unrestrained and indulgent drinking and singing; Light sword fast horse, the pleasure of beauties. ”
The fat old man shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, the rivers and lakes you said don't exist in Qianguo, you have to go to Nanxia." ”
"Nanxia?"
Chen Tang was puzzled.
The fat old man said: "Hundreds of years ago, there was only one Great Xia Dynasty on the Shenzhou Continent, and later the surrounding foreign tribes invaded, wars broke out, the princes fought for hegemony, and the corpses of the Shenzhou Continent were all over the field, ten rooms and nine emptiness, the Great Xia Dynasty fell apart, and the remaining Xia people were forced to move south, rebuild the Xia Kingdom, and take the Xia River as the boundary, and divide Shenzhou into two, each divided into north and south. ”
In the end, Emperor Wu was born, ending the division and war in Northern Shenzhou, unifying all tribes, establishing the Wu Dynasty, and forming a confrontation between Northern Wu and Southern Xia. Later, Emperor Wu led a large army to suppress the various sects created by the Xia people in Northern Shenzhou and exterminated the martial arts people. Later, the Wu Dynasty was defeated and the Qianzhou Dynasty was founded, and it has been decades since then, and these martial arts people and Jianghu sects have long disappeared. ”
Chen Tang was stunned.
This is the first time he knows the history of this world.
The fat old man said: "Some of the former martial arts masters have surrendered to the imperial court, and some have returned to the big clans, scattered and integrated into the Qianguo. ”
"Most of the inheritance of these sects is in Southern Xia. In addition to the imperial court and temples and the big families, what rivers and lakes are there in the Qianguo? ”
The fat old man said these old things in one breath before he stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked around.
Seeing the shock on the faces of Chen Tang, Mei Yingxue, and Zhiwei, I couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Finally let him catch the opportunity and hold back a big one.
Look, I can't hold you anymore?
These things are not known so clearly by ordinary people.
And he, who has experienced it himself, has seen it all with his own eyes!
After a while, Chen Tang came back to his senses, patted the back of the fat old man's hand, and said, "Senior, the pattern is small." ”
"What?"
The fat old man glared.
"Qianguo also has rivers and lakes."
Chen Tang said: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." People are there, and the rivers and lakes are there. ”
The fat old man's heart was shocked.
"People are here, and the rivers and lakes are ......"
The fat old man muttered to himself, shocked.
Chen Tang didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, and got up to leave.
The fat old man stared at Chen Tang's distant back, looked at the back of his hand that had just been patted, and held it for a long time before he exhaled lightly: "Damn, he pretended to be it!" ”
