Although it was late, Jixiang Street was still full of people, so it was not lively, and the teahouses and wine shops were overcrowded.

Ning Nian turned around and walked towards the end of the street.

Along the way, the traders greeted Ning Nian warmly, and even some shopkeepers took the initiative to go out to greet him and invite him to the store to rest for a while.

Ning Nian thanked him politely one by one for his kindness, walked for nearly an hour, and finally patrolled the nearby streets.

Finally, as soon as he arrived on Taixiang Street, a dozen thugs dressed as ruffians suddenly appeared in the surrounding alleys, surrounding him in the middle.

The leader is the two people who just blocked the way.

The surrounding people didn't know what was going on, and they gathered around.

Ning Nian frowned, waved his hand and signaled the people to disperse, but the people got closer and closer.

Ning Nian looked at the two of them helplessly: "According to the law of the Great Zhou, hindering and encircling tolerance, I can let you stay in prison until you are old." ”

The person who was thrown just now snorted coldly and said, "Ning Xiaocha, our tiger master is invited, and I hope you will save face." ”

Ning Nian didn't think about it, and refused: "I'm not available!" ”

The person who was thrown then sneered: "I didn't expect Ning Xiaocha to be afraid of it." ”

Ning Nian looked at the person who was fallen, and felt that the man in front of him was a little naïve.

He knew that this guy was agitating himself, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the other party was surrounded by many people, and it was not a matter if it was endless.

So Ning Nian pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Where is the Thunder Tiger?" I'll go see him. ”

The surrounding thugs thought that Ning Nian was afraid, and they all showed sneering expressions on their faces, and when they saw that he was still honest, they took him to the depths of Taixiang Street.

Seeing this, the surrounding people wanted to step forward to stop them, but Ning Nian waved his hand to tell the people to disperse.

The people had no choice but to disperse gradually, but the clever vendors also secretly ran to the inn and told the old man everything that happened here.

The post house is under the jurisdiction of eight streets and nine mo.

One of the most prosperous.

It is Taixiang, Ruixiang and auspicious, these three streets.

Among the three streets, Jixiang Street is the longest, Taixiang Street is the most prosperous, and Ruixiang Street is in between.

Of these three streets, Taixiang Street is the most prosperous because the other end of this street is directly connected to Suzaku Street, one of the four main streets in the city.

According to the gossip in the rivers and lakes, the Black Tiger Gang, which is full of evil in Chang'an City, has its main helm located on this street, but where the specific location is, no one knows the gang.

At this time, the group led Ning Nian to the middle of Taixiang Street, and walked to a gambling house before stopping.

The leader looked back at the young man, sneered and teased: "Ning Xiaocha, please go inside." ”

Ning Nian sneered and said with a smile: "On weekdays, you are the most annoying errand to come to the gambling house, but today you invited me in." ”

The leader sneered: "Ning Xiaocha is a high-ranking and powerful person, in order to invite you today, our Tiger Master has made a big deal, and the entire gambling house will be closed for one night today." ”

Ning Nian disagreed, and stepped in.

As soon as I entered the gambling house, it was really different from the hustle and bustle of the past.

The room was deserted, and there was not a single gambler in sight.

Ning Nian entered the gambling hall for the first time, and took a look at it, it may be the reason for the closure, the tables and chairs in the gambling house have been removed a lot, and only a rectangular table is placed in the center of the gambling house.

In front of the square table, a person sat with his back to the door, unable to see clearly, and a middle-aged man stood on the left and right, facing the door.

Ning Nian saw the two of them, although they didn't know each other, they could guess some.

On the long table, the person sitting on his back is holding two dice in his right hand, throwing them into the dice cup and picking them out, and the cycle repeats.

Ning Nian's footsteps did not stop, and he came directly to the three of them.

Standing left and right, the two of them kept staring at Ning Nian up and down.

There was a hint of appreciation in one person's eyes.

One of them had a gloomy expression and a cold look in his eyes.

The person sitting on his back also heard the movement behind him, and slowly turned around, and Ning Nian finally saw the person's appearance clearly.

Speaking of which, Ning Nian has lived in Ronghua Lane for seven or eight years, and today it is the first time he has seen Lei Laohu, and he didn't expect that the leader of the Black Tiger Gang in the south of the city is actually dressed as a literati showman, medium age, his appearance is not good, he wears a literary hat, wears a green satin brocade robe, has a gentle face, and his eyes are introverted.

Ning Nian couldn't help but look surprised.

Lei Laohu instantly saw through the young man's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Let Ning Xiaocha laugh." ”

Ning Nian was speechless, a little rude.

Lei Lao Hu didn't care.

At this time, a group of thugs from the Black Tiger Gang also came over.

Lei Laohu waved his hand and dispersed the crowd, his prestige in the Black Tiger Gang was extremely high, and the thugs couldn't help but retreat to the door immediately.

There were only four Ning Nian left in the gambling house.

Ning Nian didn't pay attention to Lei Laohu first, he looked up at the two people standing on the left and right, and suddenly asked the yin owl man, "Do you know me?" ”

As soon as he entered the door, Ning Nian felt the malice in the eyes of the yin owl man, so he opened his mouth to ask.

The yin owl man's eyes were cold, he didn't expect Ning Nian to ask him first, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can also recognize it when I turn into ashes, my third brother was inexplicably imprisoned last year, and it is thanks to Ning Xiaochao Chengful." ”

Ning Nian thought for a while and said seriously: "I see, I said to see how you are a little familiar, it turns out that you are Qian San's own brother." ”

The yin owl man snorted coldly, don't look over it and ignore it.

Ning Nian didn't care, so he turned his head to the man sitting and said politely: "Sell the gold cave, gold and silver are like flowing water, and the Lei Gang Master is willing to do it." ”

Lei Laohu sat on the bench and didn't get up, he smiled and said, "Ning Xiaocha is here, and the cold house is shining." ”

Ning Nian went straight and said, "What is the matter with the Lei Gang Master looking for me?" ”

Lei Laohu didn't answer, but introduced the two people next to him, he first pointed to the yin owl man and said: "Qian Hong, the second-in-command in the gang, I will take care of all the big and small affairs on weekdays. ”

Ning Nian didn't speak.

Lei Laohu then pointed to another person: "His name is Ning Rui, speaking of which, he is still your own family, and he is the number one general of our Black Tiger Gang." ”

Ning Nian nodded and said, "I guessed almost when I entered the door, and now I have seen it, what is the matter with the Lei Gang Master looking for me?" ”

Hearing this, Lei Laohu stared at Ning Nian for a long time.

Ning Nian had no fear in his eyes and looked back at the other party.

In a moment.

There was silence in the gambling house, and the needle drop could be heard.

Lei Laohu showed appreciation, and suddenly stroked his palms and smiled: "Sure enough, the hero is a young man, and I can't do this courage." ”

Ning Nian frowned rarely, he could feel that Lei Laohu had no ill will towards him, so he said politely: "I know how many catties I have, there is no need to say anything about flattery, you can just say anything." ”

Lei Laohu said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, don't worry, speaking of which, Ning Xiaocha called us Jixiang Street, today is the first time to enter my gambling house, why don't we sit down and play?" ”

Ning Nian said lightly: "No need, if you don't have anything else, then I'll leave." ”

Lei Laohu felt quite helpless, this kid didn't eat oil and salt, and he was a little unsympathetic, so he asked self-deprecatingly: "Ning Xiaocha dislikes my small temple so much?" ”

Ning Nian thought thoughtfully, thought about it very seriously, and said, "I really don't like it here. ”

Lei Laohu asked: "What Ning Xiaocha said he didn't like, did he like my livelihood, or did he abide by his duty as a tolerance and want to distinguish himself from me?" ”

Ning Nian said without thinking: "Both." ”

Lei Laohu continued: "In the spring of last year, you had just taken over Jixiang Street, and within half a month, you had sent several of my brothers to prison, and I inquired about you at that time. ”

Ning Nian was a little puzzled, if it was last year, why did he only find himself today, not to mention that he would be closed for a day, was this a bit of a fuss, but if it wasn't for this, he really couldn't think of what the other party could do to find him.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it, found a bench, and sat directly opposite Lei Laohu.

Lei Laohu's eyes showed a little appreciation, and he said with a smile: "He is worthy of being the son of Ning Yuanshan, the tiger of the South Gate, but he has such courage at a young age." ”

At the mention of Ning Yuanshan, Ning Nian's face finally changed slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "Does the Lei Gang Master know my father?" ”

Lei Laohu nodded: "Of course I know, the four gods of Jingzhao Mansion, no one knows, no one knows, Ning Yingying is chivalrous, loyal and good-natured, and the two iron shovels shook the south gate, which is really admirable." ”

Ning Nian listened very seriously, very happy, and looked in a trance.

Seeing this, Lei Laohu was quite surprised, thinking that he had spoken to the other party's heart. But then, his tone became a little regretful: "It's a pity that God is jealous of the talent, Ning Yingying died too early, otherwise I would definitely have to come to visit." ”

Ning Nian was silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaotic noise outside the door.

Lei Laohu's gaze bypassed Ning Nian and looked towards the door, and a thug hurriedly ran in and whispered in front of him.

After hearing this, Lei Laohu smiled generously and said, "It's okay, just invite Master Wu in." ”

The thug received the order and immediately ran towards the door.

When Ning Nian heard this, he knew that it was the old messenger who came, so he stood up and looked at the door.

At this time, the old errand had already broken in, and a group of thugs followed.

The old man held the waist knife in his arms, walked around, slowly came to Ning Nian's side, and looked up and down before he was relieved.

Lei Laohu waved his hand again and retreated from everyone.

Ning Nian felt that the old man's aura was a little disordered, so he said with concern: "Master Wu, why are you here?" ”

The old man waved his hand to interrupt the other party, stared at Lei Laohu and said hoarsely: "People are useless when they are old, our Lei Gang Master has something to do, and he would rather find a little hairy boy than take care of my old bones." ”

Lei Laohu smiled and said politely: "Where did Wu Ye say, your kindness, the younger generation is unforgettable." ”

The old man nodded when he heard this, and said in a depressed voice: "Since you remember the kindness of the past, then I will take this child now, you don't object." ”

Lei Laohu was expressionless and shook his head.

The old man snorted coldly: "It seems that the Lei Gang Master is not going to talk about any friendship, in the past, you kept talking about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and you want me to see, the morality in your heart has already been fed to the dog." ”

The old poor man sneered and scolded.

Qian Hong and Ning Rui were a little uncontrollable.

Lei Laohu waved his hand to stop the two.

He looked at the old poor head, and his politeness was still the same: "I read the sage book for a few years when I was young, and I entered the grassy rivers and lakes, the etiquette on the book is three points, and the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is seventy percent, Wu Ye helped me back then, I have not forgotten it, but ......"

When the old man heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked sharply, "But what?" If you have something to say, let it go! ”

Lei Laohu thought for a moment and said, "But today, Lei wants to be that ungrateful person again." ”
