Chapter 40: The Crouching Tigers
When Qinghe was running errands for Master Qi and Dian Hua, Liu Lei, who was eating meat and drinking in the Crouching Tiger Gang's righteous hall, ushered in An Xiaoyi, who had disappeared for two days.
When Liu Lei saw An Xiaoyi coming, he immediately thought of what An Xiaoyi had asked him to do two days ago, holding a piece of pork ribs with meat in one hand and a bowl of wine in the other, and stood up with surprise on his face to greet him.
"Xiao Yi is here, but there's news?"
An Xiaoyi stared at the meat in Liu Lei's hand, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and shouted unintentionally: "Brother Shi, there is news." ”
Liu Lei looked at An Xiaoyi's unproductive appearance, shook his head, and said with disgust: "Xiaoyi, look at your unproductive appearance, go out and say that you are messing with me? ”
An Xiaoyi sat at the dining table embarrassedly, scratched her head and said: "I've been busy inquiring about the news for the past two days, and I haven't even eaten a hot meal, and suddenly I saw wine and meat, which really killed me." ”
This is his brother, his confidant, and what he confesses to him is the most important thing, absolutely unambiguous.
"Eat, eat quickly, as if I was abusing you?" An Xiaoyi was not polite to Liu Lei, and ate it in a big gulp.
An Xiaoyi was eating, when a young man with a scarred face, a sturdy body, and a lot of blood stained on his short clothes walked in and shouted, "Brother Shi." ”
Then, without waiting for Liu Lei to greet him, he began to sit down directly and eat meat and drink wine.
Liu Lei had to correct: "It's Brother Lei! I have a big name!"
This An Xiaoyi and Huzi are really, every time they meet, they have to correct it before they can call it right, and then the next time they meet, they call it wrong, and they have to let him correct them again.
He is now the person of Qi Zhang, the second son of Qi Mansion, but he is the leader of the Crouching Tiger Gang, the largest gang in Jishui County!
In Jishui County, there are also people who have a pie noodles, and he is called by his subordinates all day long, called "Brother Shi", where did he come from!
If it were someone else, Liu Lei would have done it a long time ago, letting him know why the flowers are so popular, but in the face of An Xiaoyi and Huzi, his two fellow villagers and cronies, and the existence of brothers, he really couldn't do it, so he had no choice but to correct it every time he met.
Hearing Liu Lei's correction, Huzi chewed the meat while eating wine, and replied inarticulate without raising his head: "Brother Lei." ”
Liu Lei looked at the blood on his clothes, frowned and asked, "The Black Scale Gang is making trouble again?"
Huzi still lowered his head to eat meat and drink wine, nodded, and did not mean to speak.
Huzi just doesn't talk much, Liu Lei knows what he is, and he didn't get angry, just frowned and said: "Why have the Black Scale Gang been making trouble in the past few days? They have been very honest in the past six months, it's really strange!"
The Crouching Tiger Gang and the Black Scale Gang are the only two big gangs in Jishui County, and both gangs have the opportunity to get the support of the Qi Mansion to become the largest gang in Jishui County, so the two gangs slowly have a tacit understanding, when one gang gets the support of the Qi Mansion, the other gang is low-key and dormant to make way for the other gang.
Half a year ago, Qi Zhang took over the gang forces in Jishui County, abandoned the Black Scale Gang, and chose the Crouching Tiger Gang, so that Liu Lei, who had just taken over the position of the leader of the smaller, low-key Crouching Tiger Gang for less than three years, became the largest gang leader in Jishui County.
For a while, the scenery was immeasurable, and he walked directly to the peak of his life. Qi Zhang has the grace of knowing him, so Liu Lei will protect Qi Zhang so carefully and do things for Qi Zhang.
On the other hand, the Black Scale Gang was a little miserable, after losing the support of the Qi Mansion, the gang leader was killed that night, and then the Black Scale Gang entered the turmoil, most of the Black Scale Gang went to the Crouching Tiger Gang to make a living, and it was not until half a month later that they settled down, but the Black Scale Gang has changed from the gang leader to the hall master.
Because the turmoil caused by the change of the largest gang or the handover of the gang is a repertoire of the underground world of Jishui County, this is a very normal thing.
Later, the Black Scale Gang has been very low-key for the past six months, until a few days ago, the low-key Black Scale Gang suddenly moved, asking for news everywhere, and even clashing with the Crouching Tiger Gang for this, completely ignoring the customary rules between the two gangs, which really made Liu Lei angry and made Liu Lei feel strange!
"Without the support of Qi Fu, no matter how happy he dances, what's the use? That one-eyed dragon is really sick in the brain!" "The one-eyed dragon is the current leader of the Black Scale Gang, Liu Lei has seen it a few times, and it looks normal, but he always feels that this person is not quite right, Liu Lei just can't like this person.
Liu Lei complained and didn't say anything. Anyway, with the support of the Qi Mansion, he has nothing to fear, he just looks at how the one-eyed dragon is going to make a fuss?
After An Xiaoyi finished eating, he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Shi, I have already heard the news you want, the liar who pretended to be an immortal master in Qi Mansion to cheat, and now he has left Qi Mansion and lived in Jishui Temple. However, Qi Mansion seems to attach great importance to him, I found out that Jishui Guan was already the property of Qi Mansion half a year ago, but in the past two days, it was transferred to the name of the liar, in addition to Jishui Temple, there is also Qi Fu Restaurant, and the transfer was transferred to the name of the liar during the same period, and although the liar has left Qi Mansion, he sent two Tsing Yi attendants beside the lord of the mansion to serve. Brother Shi, I'm afraid this time it's not that simple. ”
After Liu Lei heard this, he also realized that this liar's methods were superb, and he could deceive the owner of Qi Mansion so much!
What kind of person is the head of the Qi Mansion? That is the soil emperor of Jishui County, and the one-third of an acre of land in Jishui County, whether it is the government or their gangs in the rivers and lakes, they are all counting on the Qi Mansion to make a living.
"I'm afraid this is the ancestor of a liar, right? Have you found out the origin of the liar?"
An Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "No, I'm not a native of Jishui County, I heard that I came by boat, and the dock is the territory of the Black Scale Gang, and the relationship between the two gangs has been tense these days, and my people can't inquire about anything at the dock." ”
Knowing these news, Liu Lei was a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he solemnly asked An Xiaoyi: "Do you have any grievances between Gongzi and that liar?"
The son here naturally refers to Qi Zhang, Qi Gongzi.
An Xiaoyi replied: "Recently, Childe has had a great conflict with the lord of the mansion because of this liar, and it has always been Childe who suffers, I heard that because of this liar, Childe was reprimanded, grounded, and his personal attendant was expelled. ”
