A mule-horse cart was pulled out of the inn, with the mules and horses in front and behind not a carriage, but a board cart covered with a canvas.

On weekdays, the inn takes this out to buy groceries.

The blind man Bei held a small leather whip in his left hand and held the reins in one hand, and sat firmly in the "driver's seat".

The little mule broke the car, but it gave the blind man a feeling of Cadillac "driving" in the north.

The blind man was driving, Ah Ming didn't have the slightest accident and didn't feel anything wrong, he just sat on the side of the blind man very calmly after changing into new clothes.

The carriage was not big, and unless it was lying in the back, the two big men would have to be next to each other if they sat in the front.

The little mule cart walked slowly and leisurely, and the bell on the neck of the little mule and horse made a slow crunch from time to time;

The rain is still falling, but it is not big, although it is not as moist as the crisp in the interior of the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also just right to cover the dust and sand in the air of the border plug, here, it can be called a rare gentleness.

The mules and horses staggered, and the speed of the cart was naturally not fast.

The blind man gave a whip to the mule and horse in front of him weakly, and the mule and horse also barked perfunctorily in order to take care of the blind man's face, but the hooves did not necessarily speed up at half.

One person and one mule, in this rain curtain, reached a tacit understanding.

"Not only did you get new clothes, but you also washed your hair?"

Blind North teased.

"It's a pity there is no hair dryer and mousse."

"Mousse, a term long ago." The blind man yawned and continued, "Siniang is really willing, your set of clothes is not cheap, right?" ”

"You have it too."

"New clothes?"

"The right instrument for you, just under the canvas in the back of the car."

When the blind man heard this, his hands couldn't help but move forward, and his ten fingers beat flexibly:

"Alas, it's hard to be Siniang, in this era, it's not easy to make a piano."

"It's an erhu."

"............" Blind North.

"Let's get down to business." Ah Ming reminded.

"In Tiger Head City, there are four gangs that can be put on the table." Blind North began to introduce the gangs in Tiger Head City.

The permanent population of Hutou City is not large, only about 20,000, and there are many old and weak women and children, and therefore, with the recruitment of the people a few days ago, Hutou City, which is quite lively on weekdays, suddenly became depressed.

Qing Zhuang was requisitioned as a civil servant and left, but the main reason was the sudden local conflict, which made the caravans that had been coming and going here stop at the previous station, and everyone was watching.

And once the inflow of caravans is lost, Hutou City, a small town with a basically export-oriented economy, will naturally be difficult to live.

And also because of the frequent entry and exit of caravans, while promoting the local economic development, it also breeds an inevitable mixture.

In an ordinary border town, it is impossible to have so many restaurants, kilns, casinos, and so many gangs.

The most bizarre thing is that because of the many gates of Yan State, the monarch's grasp of the local area is very weak, resulting in many loopholes in the household registration, and there are many people in the city, but less than half of them really have the nationality of Yan State.

In this regard, the officials of Hutou City also turned a blind eye, and really wanted to check the household registration more seriously, but those gate lords were the first to refuse.

"The Hyena Gang in the east of the city, the Sanshenhui in the west of the city, the Juyi Gang in the city, and the Che Gang in the suburbs of the city are the four gangs in Hutou City that can be on the table.

The Hyena Gang specializes in human trafficker business, and the desert barbarian tribes often have private battles and killings, and some prisoners of war will be transported over and sold to the land of Yan through the Hyena Gang, and the nobles of the barbarian tribes are very interested in the women of Jiangnan in the land of Yan, including the Qianguo and Jin countries, and they are also sold through the Hyena Gang.

The Three Gods Society is an out-and-out god stick organization, which enshrines the earth gods of Yan and the barbarian gods, plus some gods from the West, recruiting believers to accept incense, and also raising a group of thugs.

The Juyi Gang is dedicated to the protection fee on the surface, not only opening a kiln casino and restaurant, but also paying a sum of money to it every month, including our inn in Hutou City.

The Che Gang, a bit similar to the Cao Gang in the mainland, is mainly a car and horse dealer business, and all the Che Ma Lifu who want to work hard in the territory of Hutou City need to take a part of their wages and hand it over to the car gang, otherwise they are not allowed to eat in this territory. ”

"Now we're in the east of the city, so let's go ahead with the hyenas?"

"To do things, pick soft persimmons and pinch them first, this is human nature, but for us, oh, to be exact, for you, you have been holding back for half a year, and you have to choose someone who can vent ruthlessly without many worries.

There are not many things in this world that are more guiltless than murder traffickers. ”

"Guilt? You didn't think like that before, no, we didn't think that way. ”

"But now after all, there is the Lord, we have to learn to take care of the Lord's emotions, the Lord is not completely blackened yet, and I only know that the Lord is growing rapidly, and I don't dare to pack the ticket The Lord will really be completely blackened, but at present, we have to change the style of doing things in a way that can make the Lord like."

Ah Ming stopped talking.

"Angry?" Blind North asked with a smile.

Ah Ming shook his head.

The blind man smiled and said with relief:

"Today is a good day to kill, the first release in half a year, and it is raining again, so be happy."

The blind man pulled the reins, and the mule and horse stopped.

In front of it is an alley, and there are two courtyards in it, which is where the Hyena Gang is located.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to say it, because of the war these days, the trade route has been greatly affected, and there should still be a lot of people stranded there in those two courtyards."

"I know measure."

"Tut-tut, it's me."

Ah Ming jumped off the mule cart and did not rush forward, but turned back and asked:

"You'd better say it again."

Blind North nodded, "I know the next order and the disposition of the other three gangs." That's the first goal, you just have to have fun. ”

"Okay."

Ah Ming began to walk towards the other side of the courtyard,

Behind

A melodious and desolate voice came,

Ah Ming stood up again,

Road:

"This song sounds familiar."

On the mule cart, the blind man who took out the erhu from under the canvas and was pulling replied:

"Two springs reflect the moon."

Ah Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't it a little unlucky?" ”

"It's not for you, it's for them."

Ah Ming thought for a moment, "That's right." ”

The rain curtain is accompanied by the sound of erhu, which looks particularly poignant, and the leather boots under Ah Ming's feet are trampled in the puddles, splashing from time to time.

When you walk to the gate of the courtyard,

Ah Ming suddenly felt that the sentence of the blind man Bei saying that today is suitable for killing people makes some sense;

But alas, he kills, not with a sword.

But

Why not give it a try?

At the door of the courtyard, there were two guards standing there, both curled up in the corner, even if Ah Ming had already walked to the door, they didn't bother to move.

even

They also joked in a playful tone:

"This dress looks pretty fancy."

"I guess it's from the acrobatic troupe that came with the caravan from the Western Regions, I went to see it last year, and there are people who play tricks and wear like this."

Ah Ming smiled when he heard this.

He didn't rush to do it, because he thought he needed to brew his emotions.

It's like before a meal, you need to prepare the plate, he's ready to eat.

"Don't, don't sell me, don't sell me, don't !!"

Then

A girl's mournful cry came from behind Ah Ming.

Ah Ming turned around, looked back, and saw a middle-aged man in somewhat tattered clothes forcibly pulling a girl who was only about twelve or thirteen years old.

The girl's clothes were also shabby, and she sat dead on the ground, but the man's strength was not something that her little girl could resist, and the middle-aged man dragged her to continue walking this way, and the girl kept rolling in the muddy puddles.

The two gatekeepers saw this scene and knew that business had come to the door, so they slowly stood up.

"Don't sell me, don't sell me!"

"I'm your father, if I don't sell you, we'll all starve to death! You money-loser, do you want our father and daughter to starve to death? ”

"You bastard, you bastard, I don't have your father, my mother was sold by you to gamble, and now you want to sell me!"

"Smack!"

The man slapped the girl in the face.

The girl was beaten to the ground, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, and in her pupils, there was more of a sense of despair.

"Phew! Shameless money-losing goods! ”

The man bypassed Ah Ming, walked to the front of the steps, bent down to the two porters standing above, showed a flattering look, and said flatteringly:

"I'm tired of taking care of things."

A porter smiled, turned and pushed the door open and went in to call someone.

The other was hunched up, his eyes swept over the girl lying on the ground, shook his head, and said:

"This little lady, it's only five taels of silver when she reaches the sky."

"Hey, how could you!" The man exclaimed, "Her mother and I sold it for four taels of silver from you, no matter how she is, she is still a yellow flower girl, it is more expensive than a woman who gave birth to a baby." ”

"Heh, this little lady, it has to be our Yan domestic land to sell at a high price, it is better to be a Qianguo, and if you know a little bit of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, then the price will not be beatable.

Our little lady in the north can't sell it at a price. Look at this in your house, it is not usually pampered material, this skin is rough, tsk, do you say those big men in the desert can like it?

Buy it back and take a look, damn it, the skin is no different from the girls in their tribe, are you stupid?

Besides, your aunt-in-law, even if she has given birth to a baby at a little age, she can pick and carry it, and she can call half a man, what about your daughter, can she do heavy work?

The most important thing is that I don't know what kind of madness I have been going on for a while, suddenly a war broke out, and the trade routes have been cut off. ”

"This ...... If it doesn't work out, at least you have to sell it for eight taels of silver, five taels of silver have to pay off your debts, and you still have three taels left. ”

"Hey, then you can talk to Mr. Bookkeeper later."

The girl was lying on the ground, motionless, her eyes empty.

Then

She saw a man dressed in strange black clothes walk up to her and crouch down, his face so white.

Ah Ming looked down at her, and she was also looking at Ah Ming.

Shaoqing,

Ah Ming opened his mouth and asked:

"You want me to help you...... Did you kill your father? ”

The girl's body shook suddenly,

Followed by

There was a wave of hatred in his eyes,

In the mouth,

Bites out a word:

"Want to ......"

Ah Ming nodded,

"Okay."
