Chapter 42: Three Thousand Cars

Several people sat in the back hall, and Zhang Zhongqian told the three of them about the origin of this invincible God Fist Gang.

About ten years ago, a teenager came to Wuling City alone to make a living.

Penniless and hungry, he went to a restaurant in the city to ask for a bite to eat.

He didn't want it, he wanted to trade his work for a bite to eat.

I just went to several houses, and the guys rushed out as if they were asking for food.

also scolded him, he was young, he had hands and feet, and he actually came to ask for food, do you want to make a face.

The young man was aggrieved, he didn't want to eat white food.

Later, a kind old shopkeeper took pity on him and gave him two steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

After eating and drinking, he went to the backyard of the tavern and chopped a lot of wood for the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper said bluntly, enough, enough, and you will be hungry again.

The old shopkeeper's tavern is not big, and it is his son and daughter-in-law who are busy in the back kitchen, and it is his granddaughter who wipes the table in front of the front hall to serve tea and water to the guests.

The young man took the two steamed buns given by the old man and left.

The old man shook his head at this powerful offspring, it was his tavern that was too small, and the business was not very good, but it was a pity, it was a good offspring.

When the latter was leaving, the old shopkeeper clearly saw his granddaughter and looked at him a few times.

The old shopkeeper sighed, his granddaughter had already promised that she was the third-room concubine of the official Lao in the city, otherwise it would be good to recruit that energetic descendant as a son-in-law.

Lord Lao's real name is Lao Sepi, and he is the head of the household department in the city.

Two steamed buns are really not many for a young man, and he just eats a bottom, but it is already very good to have a bite to eat, how can he get an inch.

Out of the tavern, he turned a corner and found a place where no one was around, took out two other steamed buns, grabbed one and nibbled on it.

After just two bites, he stopped.

Several beggars surrounded him with sticks, and one of them said,

"Where did you come from? Don't you know this territory is ours? Hurry up, hurry up!"

The young man clutched his steamed bun tightly, did not speak, and slowly got up, about to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, the biggest beggar spit on the steamed bun he was holding in his arms.

The beggar around laughed, and the spitting beggar stretched out his hand and said,

"Take it, tell you, this is the land fee paid, do you understand? If the kid follows the eldest brother in the future, you can ask for this piece casually, just remember, the big brother will pick the food that comes up first, do you understand?"

The young man looked at the steamed bun in his hand and raised his head.

The beggar who had just spoken out looked at the young man's eyes and was frightened back half a step, and then shouted,

"What are you going to do? There are so many of us, we will be afraid that you will not succeed, brothers, beat him, and snatch all his steamed buns. ”

The stick swung at the boy, who remained motionless and let the stick fall on him, staring at the spitting beggar.

The beggar was stared at so much that he did not move when he was beaten, and the stick in his hand was raised.

At this time, the boy moved.

The beggar saw a steamed bun coming towards his door, and then he didn't know anything.

The steamed bun was stuffed into the young man's mouth, and his teeth were cracked, and his mouth was full of blood, and the steamed bun was soaked red.

Seeing this, the rest of the beggars fled in all directions, shouting "Murder!"

The boy ignored it, kicked the unconscious beggar, cursed, and left.

There are no steamed buns to eat, there are still three cents in his hand, and he is hungry, so the young man wants to buy a few more steamed buns.

As for the beggar, no one paid any attention.

Later, a gang suddenly arose in Wuling City, claiming to be the Invincible God Fist Gang, and the gang leader was named Che Sanqian.

Zhang Zhongqian's story was told without beginning or end, and several people were confused.

Cheng Shifei opened his mouth and asked: "Brother-in-law, what you tell this story is worse than those bad novels, what is the matter with this invincible God Fist Gang? Is the boy in your mouth the one who is the three thousand cars?"

Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said, "That's right, that young man is the later Invincible Divine Fist Gang Leader Che Sanqian." ”

Chen Suisui didn't speak, just listened, he was thinking in his heart, it's a pity that the steamed bun is a pity, if you fight, you fight, why waste food?

Yuan Xi opened his mouth and said: "Invincible God Fist Gang, this person who calls three thousand cars seems to have good boxing skills, I don't know if Zhang Gongzi has seen this person?"

Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said, "I have indeed seen it, not only I have seen it, but everyone on this street has seen it." ”

Cheng Shifei said curiously: "Brother-in-law, what does this car 3000 look like? By the way, how do you know the story of the 3000 car?"

Zhang Zhongqian took a sip of tea, looked at the curious right and wrong, and said with a smile: "Do you think the leader of the gang is very majestic?"

After speaking, he looked at a few people and continued: "I really don't know how the Invincible God Fist Gang appeared, and the story of this young man was told to me by Che Sanqian himself. After the appearance of this invincible God Fist Gang, he personally took two people to visit one shop after another, claiming to be able to protect everyone's safety. In addition, if there is manual work in the store, please hand it over to the helper, and as for the salary, it is one percent lower than the original price on the market. But the shops have to pay a so-called protection fee to the gang. ”

Cheng Shifei "cut" and said, "That's it, who can take care of these three people? It would be good not to drive them out as fools." ”

Zhang Zhongqian said with a smile: "You are right, the security in this city has its own people from the government to patrol, and the merchants pay a lot of taxes, so why should they deal with these three people? ”

Cheng Shifei said: "Who should come down is a fool, brother-in-law, did our shop also open at that time?"

Zhang Zhongqian's face was a little strange, he glared at right and wrong, and said: "Our cloth village has just been open for more than half a year, when I was still young, although I followed my father to this Wuling City, but the size of the cloth village is still the work of my father, and the housekeeper Lao Jia is also a lot of hard work. We are outsiders, and we are already squeezed out by local merchants, and even the wages for loading and unloading goods with that force are 50% higher than those of people. You said that the condition of this car of 3,000 is not tempting?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said nothing, Cheng understood right and wrong, as if he had just said the wrong thing, he grinned: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, if it were me, I would also agree, but, is this car three thousand reliable?"

Zhang Zhongqian put down the tea bowl in his hand, and then said: "At that time, Daddy was also so worried, but when we do business, don't we pay attention to a word of conversation? Daddy treated the three of them politely, and said his own conditions, that is, the so-called protection fee will not be given for the time being, and all the businesses in the store that require labor will be handed over to the Invincible God Fist Gang. If there is nothing to do within two months, he shall give him all the money. ”

Cheng Shifei glared and asked, "Then what did he say?

Yuan Xi smiled: "Xiao Fei, you have the potential to be a bully, haven't you read too many novels?"

Cheng Shifei said with a smile: "I read a few books when I was fine, it was very interesting, but my father didn't let me read this book, saying that there was nothing to read, especially if I practiced martial arts, it was best not to read it, but I think it's just a temporary cool reading, don't I still me?"

Yuan Xi quipped: "You should be afraid of dogs and dogs, right, the world-famous Cheng Daxia is afraid of dogs." ”

Cheng Shifei was speechless for a while, pouting and humming: "Brother Yuan, you know how to bully me, I'm not afraid now, it's better to be funny." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Brother Yuan, who was smiling at him, looked at Zhang Zhongqian and said, "Brother-in-law, what did you say?"

Zhang Zhongqian smiled: "Then what else? ”

Cheng Shifei was shocked and said, "That's the promise?"

Zhang Zhongqian raised his eyes and looked at his brother-in-law: "Otherwise, I'll burn yellow paper with him and cut off the head of the chicken?"

Cheng Shifei said with a smile: "That's not bad, brother-in-law, so you have a backer, anyway, this invincible God Fist Gang, the name is so loud, it must be very powerful, right?"

Zhang Zhongqian showed a look of remembrance on his face, and said: "The name used to be just a name, but now, it is really the invincible God Fist Gang, Xiao Fei, speaking of which, brother-in-law, I really almost kowtowed to that car 3,000." ”

"Huh?"

Not only was Cheng Cheng taken aback, but even Yuan Xi and Chen Suisui were surprised, where did this start, since this is the case, how could today's incident happen?

Zhang Zhongqian continued: "Which young man is not frivolous, I also learned boxing and kicking from Lord Yuezhang for a few years, and Lord Yuezhang also passed on some of my internal strength cultivation methods, so I naturally yearn for this kind of gang people. At the beginning, not long after our cloth village opened, there were splashes to make trouble, do you know, brother-in-law, I have personally taught those splashes, but the king of Hades is easy to hide, the little ghosts are difficult, and those splashes always use some dirty means to disgust us. Do you think, when it opens early in the morning, there is that and urine at the door, is it disgusting or not? Who do you talk to to reason? Who will take care of it? Is it a peer looking for someone to disgust us, we don't know, but what can we do if we know? It's not the same to swallow your anger? If it weren't for my father saying that I would lose money and have to gain a foothold here, our cloth village would have closed a long time ago. ”

Walking back to his seat, Cheng Cheng's eyes were sharp, and he quickly poured a glass of water for his brother-in-law.

Zhang Zhongqian picked it up and took a big sip and continued: "Growing up in the countryside, this kind of scoundrel is rare, Yuan Gongzi and Master are hiding in the mountains, I don't think I see much, as for Xiao Fei, who dares to go to the martial arts hall to find trouble, in fact, there are too many dirty things you haven't seen." People, do you really do everything for a bite to eat, and after you make it, you gradually get used to it. ”

After speaking, he patted Chen Suisui on the shoulder and said, "Suisui, don't think about it, we all believe in you." ”

Chen Suisui didn't speak, just nodded, he knew that what Zhang Zhongqian said was just a feeling, and he couldn't imagine that the owner could still take care of his emotions, Chen Suisui straightened his back, and his eyes became firm.

Zhang Zhongqian continued: "The day after the car 3,000 should be disembarked, after our cloth village opened, I saw two people guarding the door, and when I saw the shop open, I said goodbye and left. Dad also agreed that there was a lot of work in the shop and handed it over to the three thousand people to do, just like that, our shop was really safe for two months. ”

Cheng Shifei asked: "Brother-in-law, what is the matter with what you said?"

Zhang Zhongqian sighed and said: "I sent the silver, and after seeing the three thousand cars, I bluntly said that I want to join the Invincible God Fist Gang, do you know? ”

Glancing at the three of them, he continued: "He asked me at the time, you are different from us, this is not suitable for you, and the story of that steamed bun was told to me by Che Sanqian at that time. He asked me, what would I do if I were me? I couldn't answer because I really couldn't imagine what he was in. However, with the protection of the car 3,000, our shop has really been stable, but other shops are not so peaceful. ”

At this time, Yuan Xi said: "But the means of three thousand cars?"

Zhang Zhongqian nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Yes and no, he just coaxed some people, but he did use some means against a few shops, the ones that drove the three of them out of the door." ”

Cheng Shifei asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, are there no other gangs?

Zhang Zhongqian said: "Laborers are generally acquaintances, beggars are a group of several people, and as for stealing children, they all act alone. As for the government, I wish someone could manage this group of people. Didn't I say before that Che Sanqian brought two people to the door, one of them was born as a laborer, named Gao Dazhuang, and brought more than ten brothers to follow Che Sanqian, and the other person is someone who came today, Wei Dayong. ”

Cheng Shifei let out an "oh", and then said: "No wonder he calls himself Wei Sanye, looking at him like that, he doesn't seem to have any ability!"

Zhang Zhongqian said with a smile: "For ordinary people, his Wei Dayong's skills are still good, but it's a pity that he met you." This person was born in a thief, and he didn't know where he learned his fist and foot kung fu, and he didn't know why he followed the car 3,000, and he was in charge of a hall. The other hall master is the tall and strong. This Wei Dayong still has the ability, after the thieves in the city were targeted by him, they basically couldn't run, and the things they just got their hands could reach him with their backhands, so that those thieves obeyed him and became people in the gang. As for those beggars, Che Sanqian was personally in charge. ”

At this time, Chen Suisui asked: "Since this Invincible Divine Fist Gang has the silver for work, what protection fees do they charge, then do these beggars and thieves stop begging and stealing things?"

Zhang Zhongqian shook his head: "It's just that there are less, but there will still be some, but if we pay the silver, there will be no beggars and thieves coming to the door." ”

Cheng Shifei asked: "Brother-in-law, did all the merchants pay them money? What happened to Wei Dayong's visit today?"

Zhang Zhongqian frowned and said: "It's not all, after all, someone is behind the official mansion, so naturally he won't sell his face as a gang." As for today's events, I also feel strange, with my understanding of Che Sanqian, he will definitely not be like this, so I asked Wei Dayong, is it the meaning of Che Sanqian. ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "Wait and see, this matter will not be so easy, after all, Wei Dayong is one of the hall masters in the gang, let us beat him out like this, isn't this the face of beating him with three thousand." ”

Cheng Shifei said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, what are you afraid of, there are Brother Yuan, Brother Chen and me, if he dares to come, let's call him out, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Zhang Zhongqian smiled bitterly and did not speak.

At this time, the housekeeper Lao Jia came in and spread the word that the Invincible Divine Fist Gang had sent a letter.

————————————

Huo Qiji took the little bald Xing Yunqi to Xiliang City.

After finding Huang Tianba, he handed over the little bald head to him to take care of, and Huo Qiji decided to visit the Xiliang Palace.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Huo Qi, who was dressed in a green shirt, stepped forward.

Seeing this, the guard in front of the palace raised a spear in his hand and shouted,

"The palace is heavy, and the idle people are waiting to leave quickly. ”

Huo Qiji said: "Huo Qu, a resident of the contemptible mountain, is sick and asks to see the prince of Xiliang. ”

Seeing this, the guard looked at Huo Qiji, and only felt that this person's face was tight, and he was definitely not a high-ranking official or nobleman in the city, so he reprimanded,

"Where did you come from, what kind of mountain dweller, water dweller, our prince doesn't believe this, flash aside, don't blame me for having no eyes in the spear and hurting you." ”

Huo Qiji frowned, like this, it was not easy to see King Xiliang.

"What are you doing? ”

A crisp voice came, like a hundred spirits in the mountains, like melodious.

The door of the mansion opened, and Huo Qiji saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walking out of the palace, followed by an old man, who looked like a housekeeper.

When the guards saw it, they hurriedly saluted,

"I've seen the county lord!"

The girl was very tall, half a head taller than the old butler behind her, and she was dressed in a burgundy brocade robe, dressed as a man, with her hair tied in a high ponytail with a black ribbon, and her face was as white as snow.

The housekeeper behind her said again and again: "My county lord, go back with me, otherwise the king will know, and the old man will not be able to explain to the king." ”

The girl looked back at the old man and said with a smile: "Uncle Song, I'm just going to the city for a walk, I've been suffocating to death for the past few days, and my father won't care about me." ”

Huo Qiji looked at this little girl with a smile on his face.

It turned out to be her, and it was supposed to be her.

When he took Xiao Yuanxi to Xiliang Wangfu, Yuanxi met a little playmate in the palace, a young sister who was one year older than him, and the youngest daughter of Xiliang Wang's favorite, Shangguan Zimo.

I didn't expect the original little girl film to be completed like this.

He also hugged her.

At that time, the little girl said to him, who was only in his twenties,

"Brother, you are so good-looking, I will marry you in the future. ”

Childlike words.

She's still so playful and cute.

After finishing speaking to the housekeeper Song Bo, Shangguan Zimo turned his head and asked the guard,

"What's the situation?"

The guard replied, "Lord of the county, this man is going to enter the door to visit the prince, and when his subordinates saw his face, they did not go in to spread the word and stopped him outside." ”

Shangguan Zimo noticed the people standing in the audience.

The housekeeper behind her had already noticed Huo Qiji, who was standing below, squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while, then pulled Shangguan Zimo to the door, and said as he walked,

"County Lord, the old man remembers an important matter, and he wants to make it clear to the young lady. ”

Shangguan Zimo, who glanced at Huo Qiji, felt as if he had seen this person, but she didn't allow her to think about it, so she was pulled into the door by the old housekeeper, and the door closed again.

Huo Qiji clearly looked at him again when he saw the housekeeper closing the door, and that look seemed to have something to say, and he could conclude that the old housekeeper had recognized him.

When Huo Qiji came to the palace, it was this old housekeeper who accompanied King Xiliang.

But why did this old butler move?

Shangguan Zimo didn't expect Song Bo to pull her arm so hard, and after the door closed, she broke away from Song Bo's hand and asked, "Uncle Song, what are you doing?"

The old housekeeper looked apologetic and said in a low voice: "County Lord, I am in a hurry, and the old man has no choice but to be rude to the county, and I ask the county lord to forgive me." ”

Shangguan Zimo pouted and asked, "Uncle Song, what the hell is going on?" The person standing outside just now seemed to have seen it somewhere, but before I could remember, you pulled me in, no, I have to take another look." ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly stopped Shangguan Zimo, who wanted to open the door again, and said in a low voice: "County Lord, I know who this person is, this matter has to be reported to the prince, don't make a noise first, have you forgotten the two in the house?"

Shangguan Zimo's eyes widened slightly, and he asked quietly, "Uncle Song, who is it? So mysterious?"

The old butler said: "County Lord, don't ask yet, the old man is going to see the prince now, don't you want to know who it is? ”

Shangguan Zimo tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "Okay!"

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Xiliang, was reading a book in the study, but what he was reading in his hand was "The Buddha Says the Forty-two Chapters of the Sutra".

The Forty-two Chapters of the Buddha's Sayings is the first batch of Buddhist scriptures translated by the eminent monks who first preached to Middle-earth.

Nowadays, the White Horse Temple in Luoyue City uses this scripture to spread Buddhist teachings to everyone, but for some reason, this King of Xiliang became interested in Buddhism.

"Smack", slammed the scriptures on the table, and King Xiliang scolded: "What the Buddha said, what the Buddha said, it looks like a book from heaven, Lao Tzu's head is big, and he doesn't see a flower." ”

As he walked around the house, he shouted,

"Someone, someone!"

A subordinate pushed the door in.

"Go and call the little princess!"

The subordinate took the order out, and as soon as he closed the door, the door was pushed open again, and the chief housekeeper Song Bo walked in with Shangguan Zimo.

King Xiliang laughed, waved his hand to stop Uncle Song, who was about to salute, and said: "I said Old Song, you have been with this king for decades, and even this king wants to see his little daughter can guess, I just ordered someone to call the girl over, and you brought her here." ”

The housekeeper half-bowed and said, "It was the little county master who came out of the palace and was stopped by me." ”

Shangguan Qingyun glanced at his little daughter,

"Girl, you're not honest again, look at you, how old you are, and you go crazy all day long, and you make trouble for this king. Every day, people come to this king to complain, saying that you are bullying his son-in-law, you are like this, how can I marry you off?"

Shangguan Zimo didn't expect the housekeeper to come up and sue himself first, glared at Uncle Song, pouted and said, "Daddy, people are boring, I want to go to Brother Gongsun to play." ”

Shangguan Qingyun looked at his little daughter, who was already in his fifties, stroked his beautiful hair under his chin, nodded and said, "It's Gongsun Riyue's kid, he's not bad, well, it's really good." ”

When Shangguan Zimo heard this, he came to Shangguan Qingyun, pulled his father's sleeves with both hands, shook it lightly and said, "Daddy, how can there be, people just treat him as an elder brother." ”

Shangguan Qingyun smiled but did not speak.

At this time, Song Bo opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the lord has returned!"
