Chapter 1 The Ninth Master

Next Chapter

When the sun is rising, there is still an endless stream of people pouring into the market. There are farmers who wear straw sandals to carry burdens, there are hunters who hang on a hunting fork and jump on an antelope mountain, and there are more people who come in to buy things with their hands in their sleeves.

The city clerk took the doorman to rummage and pick, look at the valuation of the goods and get the tax certificate, and they were busy.

Zheng Jiulong sat in a breakfast shop not far from the entrance of the lower market, after breakfast, picking his teeth, squinting at the busy scene over there, there was a faint understanding of reaching the peak of life in his heart.

There are two cities in Ono City, there are porcelain, lacquerware, ironware, bronzeware, silk, carriages and horses, grain, salt, wine, medicine and so on all kinds of objects, all of which sit on the ground for business, and the city officials set the shop to collect taxes, he does not dare to touch it for the time being, but this is the next market, selling fish and turtles, melons, fruits, pears, peaches, three catties of eggs and a bundle of firewood, and the people who come to sell things are also some farmers and hunters, fools and foolish women, but a few breakfast shops in the sky, this land tax, but he Zheng Jiulong's.

The rule here is that the city officials will collect taxes at the gate, and the tax system is eleven, which must be handed over to the city lord's mansion. But he Zheng Jiulong doesn't care about that, as long as he comes in to sell something, he has to pay him another money!

He called this "Nine Master Money"!

In the first two years, there were still people who were crooked, and from time to time there was someone who dared to stare at him, thinking that he was a hard stubble, but today, borrow their courage!

Zheng Jiuye's murderous name, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?

Don't brag about it, except for the people in the deep mansion compound in the north of the city, inside and outside the current Oye City, whoever sees the ninth master has to be respectful, and they are too frightened to speak loudly when they hear the name.

This is certainly a glorious life to be proud of!

At this time, he looked at the people who kept pouring into the door, as if he were looking at copper plates, copper beads, and knife coins.

The sunlight was just strong enough to make people squint comfortably.

Zheng Jiulong enjoyed this kind of relaxing time.

After his subordinates finished breakfast one after another, his subordinate Lai Lao Er, who was known as the "leper fish head", came over and said, "Ninth master, the brothers have eaten, let's harvest a stubble?"

Zheng Jiulong spit out a toothpick and stood up, so the whole breakfast shop made a noise and the bench sounded, and the people under his hands also stood up.

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed, "Ninth Master has eaten?"

Zheng Jiulong snorted in his nostrils and said, "Next time, put more pepper! Beef soup, less pepper is not delicious!"

A trace of bitterness flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Certainly!

Zheng Jiulong ignored him, turned his head and walked out.

But Lai Lao Er didn't leave, he stretched out his hand and said "Huh?" to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face was full of bitterness, and he took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed them over, "Second Master Lai, it's not that the villain is unwilling to be filial, it's really not open in the morning, you all sit here, no one dares to enter my ......"

Lai Lao Er snatched it over, "Don't talk nonsense! It's this set of words every day, our ninth master is willing to eat you, it's your blessing, do you know? How much trouble you have less!"

As he spoke, he lined up the money in his hand and took a sip, "Thirteen dollars, what the hell are you coaxing the child?"

As he roared, the people who hadn't yet walked out of the breakfast shop all stood down and looked at it.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly gave it up, "It's really not that I don't give it to Second Master Lai, I really haven't opened much yet! The money I earned yesterday was changed into something in the afternoon and turned into today's meal! You are considerate and considerate, considerate and considerate! I will definitely ...... tomorrow."

Lai Lao Er didn't wait for him to finish, and said directly: "Ming'er has thirty dollars, dare to have one less, and one corner is missing, I'll screw your ears off to make up the number!"

Although the shopkeeper's face was full of bitterness, he didn't dare to argue anymore, so he had to nod heavily, "Hey! Thirty, even if the villain prepares a little less material, he will definitely make up enough for you!"

Lai Lao Er glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Don't be ashamed...... Let's go!"

At this time, there were already shouts and begging for mercy from several adjacent breakfast shops outside.

The shopkeeper silently calculated today's losses in his heart, and sighed helplessly when he looked at the loss of the shop that had been kicked over the table and the bowl was broken.

Zheng Jiulong walked out of the breakfast shop, stood on the street for a while, and waited for his subordinates to collect all the money from these breakfast shops on the street, but he did not leave, but actually turned around and walked into one of them.

The owner of the shop bowed in fright.

Zheng Jiulong glanced at the store and said, "Li Datou, where is your mother-in-law?"

The owner of the shop, Li Datou, was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground with a thud, and his mind was racing, and he hurriedly said: "The villain is wrong, the ninth master, you have a lot, don't be like the villain, my mother-in-law doesn't understand anything, I'm afraid of seeing people, I only help in the back kitchen, tomorrow's eighty dollars, I promise that one is not bad, and I don't dare to say a word!"

Zheng Jiulong glanced at him, didn't speak, turned his head and left.

Lai Lao Er then walked in, smiling a face, knocking on the table, and said, "Ninth Master, great good man! I don't want to see you in general, but when a great good man is angry, it's even more amazing!

Li Datou nodded like pounding garlic, and his waist didn't dare to straighten, so he just said in a loud voice: "Yes! Yes!"

Lai Lao Er suddenly kicked over, "The ninth master is unwilling to deal with you, are you really a vegetarian?" Li Datou kicked him on the ground, but he didn't dare to get up, just begging for mercy. Lai Lao Er snorted coldly and said, "Ming'er has a hundred dollars, whether you give it or not, you can do it! Anyway, I heard that your mother-in-law was born extremely white, and our ninth master likes white women!"

Li Datou hurriedly said: "Give! give!"

............

There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the city.

This kind of scene happens almost every day.

Those who are interested in giving the money early, and the sweet and soft words are avoided, and the first time they came, and those who were so poor that they really didn't have any money, some knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and some were kicked and kicked out of the stall, and some were directly beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding, and the stalls were directly taken away.

Zheng Jiulong was already too lazy to take a look.

What you want to do is to kill a few chickens every day to show the monkeys!

But he doesn't need to do the work himself.

His ninth master only needs to make such a stop on the street of the lower city, and the real hard stubble will be jealous, and he will not dare to shout when he is idle. The rest of the honest people, Lai Lao Er will take a few people and do it all!

Listening to the sounds of crying, begging for mercy, and smashing stalls behind him, Zheng Jiulong squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had heard some beautiful music.

These noisy sounds are other people's nightmares, but they make him enjoy them unusually.

Every time he walked on the streets of the city, listening to these voices coming from behind him, he felt that he seemed to be a little taller, and the strength of his arms seemed to be a little stronger.

But at this moment, turning the corner of the street, he suddenly caught a few familiar figures out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but stop and look over.

It was a small fish stall.

A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old with a white face and a smile on his face was in charge of soliciting customers, peddling, taking fish, and weighing them, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a double bun was responsible for collecting money.

There was another person, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, squatting behind the fish stall and silent.

The moment Zheng Jiulong saw him, he also suddenly turned his head to look.

There was an indescribable silence and ruthlessness in his eyes.

Danger is like turning the corner of a mountain and suddenly encountering a fried leopard.

When the two looked at each other, Rao is Zheng Jiulong has always been known for his courage and ruthlessness, and the murderous reputation of "Zheng Jiuye" over the years has spread all over the surrounding area of Dayozawa, but at this time, he still subconsciously felt a chill in his heart.

When others saw that he was not amazing and overwhelming, they thought he was just an ordinary young fisherman, but Zheng Jiulong knew very well what kind of person he was.

He's tougher than himself!

It's worse than yourself!

He always remembered what happened three years ago.

It's like it's already engraved in my head.

At that time, he was just a little beggar, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were three or four little beggars begging for a living together, including these two who are now in charge of selling fish.

One day, for unknown reasons, I heard later that someone wanted to kidnap and sell his little sister with a double bun, but he missed the horse's feet, so he chased and killed a street at the price of being stabbed six or seven times, and used a wooden stick in his hand to knock over the three tall outsiders.

On the long street, surrounded by the three inner and outer three layers of people watching the excitement, the little beggar in ragged clothes beat desperately with a wooden stick broken in two, and the blood from the wounds on his body gushed out, and the three outsiders were beaten by him and rolled all over the ground and howled, and finally he snatched them one by one, with a long knife with his own blood, and cut off the hands and feet of the three people one by one.

At that time, the whole street was so quiet that only the hoarse howls of the three outsiders remained.

And he watched the three of them bleed to death, no longer howling, no longer struggling, and no longer breathing, and then he fell down with a pale face under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people.

But he still didn't die.

Even if a fierce person is facing that crazy little beggar, facing his ruthlessness, his fierceness, his death, and his inability to die, he can't help but be subconsciously frightened.

At that time, Zheng Jiulong was already a great villain with a sound boom radius of a hundred miles, but on that day, when Zheng Jiulong saw him stained the long street with his own eyes, he had already put away all the contempt for this little beggar in his heart.

This guy doesn't want to die in a fight, every stroke is a life-for-life road, which is not terrible. It's a big deal to give up a few lives under your hands and kill him anyway!

The killing skills honed by this guy from life-and-death struggles with a bunch of beggars and traffickers are indeed very skillful, but they are not terrible either. The so-called two fists are hard to beat with four hands, no matter how powerful he is, after all, he is just an ordinary person, and he is not a child of the fairy family, more than a dozen people go together, even if it is just to surround and disrupt the stick, he will be tired to death!

His life seems to be very cheap, because he has always been a life-for-life attitude, and it seems easy to find an opportunity to kill him, but no matter how jealous Zheng Jiulong is in his heart, he has never dared to make a move in the past few years!

Because of his years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he has been brave and ruthless, telling him that the more such a person is, the more he is like a weed on the side of the road, and you can't step on him no matter how you step on it!

You hold it down with a big rock, and it will come out of the cracks in the stone!

You set it on fire, and it will suddenly show its head again one day!

And a man like him, once he has a grudge, as long as he does not die, he will surely take revenge like madness—because he never cares about his own life!

Rather than make a feud with him, Zheng Jiulong would rather spit in the face of a rich and powerful old man in the courtyards of those deep mansions in the north of the city—because compared to them, he has become the one who will not die.

............

After a pause, the man's gaze was withdrawn.

He crouched behind the stall, not moving, nor speaking.

Beside him, the fair-skinned little brother was busy bringing fish to people and recruiting a new customer, but he didn't have the slightest intention of helping.

At this time, Zheng Jiulong began to make a commotion in front of and behind him, and his subordinates had already finished the street and turned around.

Zheng Jiulong walked over.

"Chen Le is selling fish again?"

A smile appeared on his face, and if it weren't for the flesh on his face, he would have looked like some kind man.

No one who knew him dared to take this smile seriously, but Chen Le seemed to take it seriously.

He had just finished weighing a guest, and when he heard the greeting, he turned his head to see Zheng Jiulong, and immediately responded with a smile, "Hello Ninth Master!

As he spoke, he didn't care about greeting the other guest, he bent down and glanced at it, picked up a tail from the stall and saw that there was a big carp with a golden tail of five catties up and down, and the wicker quickly put a string on the fish's gills, buckled it, and handed it over in his hand, "Ninth master, let's have a fish to eat! You don't eat our fish at all, so we're embarrassed to come and sell things!"

When Zheng Jiulong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became kinder again.

After hesitating, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man still squatting on the ground like that, without even raising his head, as if the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him, Zheng Jiulong felt slightly unhappy in his heart.

But he still took the fish with his hand, smiled and said, "This fish is not small!"

After a pause, he even praised it rarely: "Although there are fish in this big nozawa, except for your brothers, no one really dares to catch them!

Chen Le laughed when he heard this, "Xie Jiuye appreciates his face!"

It happened that Zheng Jiulong's subordinates who collected the "Nine Master Money" had already come to this stall, and Chen Le turned his head to the girl next to him and said, "Sanya, take the money!"

The girl he called Sanya hesitated, but quickly put her hand into the wicker basket in her arms, but Zheng Jiulong said, "Excuse me, just eat your fish!"

Chen Le said with a smile: "What you want to give, what you want to give! The rules established by the Ninth Master cannot be broken!"

Zheng Jiulong stopped talking, only smiled.

The girl named Sanya counted thirty coins and handed them to Zheng Jiulong's subordinates with a little reluctance.

Zheng Jiulong picked up the carp in his hand, lit up at Chen Le, glanced at the squatting man out of the corner of his eye, didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.

After a while, Lai Lao'er, who saw all this in his eyes, caught up and whispered: "That kid really treats himself as a character, and he doesn't even raise his eyelids when he sees you!

Zheng Jiulong stopped when he heard this, picked up the carp in his hand, looked at it, and shook his head.

He said, "Wait, wait!"

This is the beginning, and in the next three years, or more, please advise!
