Volume 1: Forsaken Lands Chapter 9: Killing Spree
Yu'er City has a well-developed waterway, but Kong Laosan bought a horse on the road, rode all the way, and it was not easy to ferry down, and he went around in a big circle, and now he has just come here.
Holding a black sail in his left hand, leading a horse in his right hand, he looks around quite novelly all the way, there are many traders and high-rollers here, and you can see some caravans pulling large and small carriages through the streets everywhere, and there are many fresh fish and the like all around, and the sound of selling is endless.
Kong Laosan had just walked two steps, and a young man who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old walked up quickly, with a smile on his face, "This little master, it's the first time to come to Yu'er City, right?
Xiao Yinzi said, looking at Kong Laosan with blank eyes, to be exact, he should be looking at the black-maned horse that Kong Laosan bought for six hundred taels of silver behind him.
Kong Laosan glanced up and down at the person in front of him, and saw that although he was dressed cleanly, it was slightly shabby, with a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and even two toes were still exposed, so he didn't care, and nodded casually, "That's right, it's indeed the first time I've come to Yu'er City, you can tell me about the situation here first!"
Kong Laosan said, with a flick, a silver cake had fallen into Xiao Yinzi's hand, Xiao Yinzi was stunned at first, and when he saw the silver cake in his hand, his face suddenly turned red with excitement.
"This young master, you are asking the right person, my brother is a member of the Water and Salt Gang in Yu'er City, I am very familiar with these situations......"
As he spoke, Xiao Yinzi stuffed the silver into his arms and talked endlessly......
"That's pretty much it, among these gangs, Yifanmen is the strongest, controlling nearly twenty docks of all sizes in Yu'er City, and the remaining ten or so docks are divided up by other gangs......"
Xiao Yinzi said, seemed to feel a little thirsty, took out two copper plates from the inner cloth pocket, came to a vendor selling pear tea and bought two bowls, one of which was quite flattering and handed to Kong Laosan, "Master, try our pure pear tea here, the pear tea here from the pear tree is pressed every morning, it is absolutely sweet!"
Hearing this, Kong Laosan picked up the white porcelain bowl with great interest and drank two sips, and it was really sweet, and he couldn't help but drink it all in two sips, and suddenly felt full of sweetness.
"By the way, you just said that Yifanmen is going to make a move against the rest of the small gangs, why is that?"
Kong Laosan asked casually with interest.
Hearing this, Xiao Yinzi's small face froze slightly, and he sighed twice, "Yifanmen has a huge force, and I don't know what wind it has pumped recently, and it is ready to develop southward, so that a few docks along the way that are not in charge of Yifanmen have become an obstacle to Yifanmen, and I have tried my best to prepare to subdue these gangs, and I don't know what the situation is now, and my brother Shuiyan Gang is also one of them!"
Xiao Yinzi said, smiling, "Master, are you going to live in Yu'er City for a while or...... If you're planning to stay for a while, I have a good place to go!"
"Oh, tell me about it!"
Kong Laosan seemed to have guessed Xiao Yinzi's plan, and asked with a look that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.
"Donglai Inn, where not only the rent is cheap, the wine and food are also quite good, just at the end of the flowing waterway, not far from here, there are not many people, it is very quiet, but the price is a little more expensive!"
Xiao Yinzi said, as if he was a little embarrassed, and his little face was a little red.
"Okay, let's go to the inn, by the way, if I want to find someone, what can I do in this fish city?"
Kong Laosan opened his mouth and asked, Xiao Yinzi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "Yu'er City has a population of hundreds of thousands, if it has specific characteristics, it's fine, if it doesn't, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless it's a big force like Yifanmen!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Kong Laosan's eyes flashed with a little thought, and he no longer asked anything, as if he had some plans in his heart.
After a stick of incense, the two came to an inn, and Xiao Er, who was wearing a handkerchief on his shoulder at the door of the store, seemed to know Xiao Yinzi, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Yinzi before he came to the door. It's just that Kong Laosan was surprised that Xiao Er's expression was slightly panicked, and the two didn't know what to say in a low voice, but they saw Xiao Yinzi's face turned pale, and hurriedly came to Kong Laosan, "This little master, I'm really sorry, my brother is injured now, I want to go back and take care of him quickly, this silver ......"
Xiao Yinzi said, hesitated for a moment or took out the silver cake from his waist and was about to hand it to Kong Laosan, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Kong Laosan, "You go, you can put away the silver, you won't use it for a few days!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, threw the reins into Xiao Er's arms, and stepped into the inn alone.
"This young master, is it a tip or a hotel?"
Xiao Yinzi left in a hurry, Xiao Er led Kong Laosan's horse to the backyard, and another young Xiao Er in the store greeted him and asked with a flattering face.
"A guest room, and a table of good food and drink!"
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Saying that, he ran to the back kitchen Zhang Luo, Kong Laosan found a random position by the window and sat down, listening to some diners talking about the surrounding people, Kong Laosan drank water and wine quietly, and looked out of the window from time to time, enjoying the long-lost tranquility.
But after a while, Kong Laosan put a table of delicious and fresh wine and food in front of him, the chef of this inn did not say that the meals were mainly seafood, and they were extremely sweet. It's been a long time since I've been drinking and eating like this without scruples.
It's just that Kong Laosan has just eaten half of it, and a group of men with blood knives stepped into the inn, and before they entered the door, they shouted loudly, "Shopkeeper, come to a table of all fresh fish feasts, and in addition, two jars of thirty-year-old mushroom wine, remember, thirty-year-old!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper of the Donglai Inn did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted with a smile on his face, these men seemed to have just been killed, and they even had some blood smell on their bodies, there were more than ten of them, each dressed in black, and some of them were even sprinkled with blood, which looked very scary.
Some ordinary diners in the inn saw this battle, and hurriedly paid and left one by one, some men dressed as people in the rivers and lakes didn't mind, and didn't seem to look at these people in their eyes, Kong Laosan sat by the window, and didn't seem to notice the arrival of these men at all.
The leading man is in his thirties, shirtless, with his sturdy copper skin exposed, and his beard and hair on his face, he looks like an underdeveloped ape, "Damn, those miscellaneous pieces of the Water and Salt Gang really have two pieces of strength, if it weren't for Erlang to lead someone to capture Kong Da, the leader of the Water and Salt Gang as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will lose a lot in this operation!"
The man scolded and found a stool to sit down, licked a bloody mouth on his arm that was cut by some sharp weapon, snorted, and spit out a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm. Kong Laosan, who had been sitting by the window, heard this, and the water and wine in the wine glass in his hand suddenly rippled, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he got up and walked towards a group of men.
"This brother, what did you say the name of the leader of the Water and Salt Gang just now?"
Kong Laosan said softly, revealing a harmless smile from humans and animals, but this smile tasted a little cold no matter how you look at it.
At this time, some of the surrounding high-rollers also heard that Kong Laosan's tone was wrong, and the inn suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Kong Laosan and the group of men in their eyes, showing a look of good play, only a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe didn't look at it, drinking and eating by himself, and the surrounding environment seemed incompatible, but no one cared.
"What's the matter, little brother has an opinion about our Yifanmen?"
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect a doll who looked to be in his teens to come to him for trouble, he still sat loudly, showing a hint of ridicule, drinking a glass of water and wine in his hand, staring at Kong Laosan with interest.
Kong Laosan's brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed two points of coldness, "If Brother Tai answers the next question quickly, he can't suffer less, otherwise, ......"
"Yo-he...... Mao didn't grow up, his temper was quite stubborn, and you dare to ...... about our Yifanmen."
Before the man's words fell, he suddenly felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and the steel knife in his hand fell into Kong Laosan's hand at some point, and before everyone around him could react, a clanging sound sounded, and the white light flashed in front of him, and the man's entire arm was directly cut off, and blood sprayed all over the clothes of the men around him.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone reacted, and the inn suddenly exploded, among which the middle-aged scribe who didn't care at all, looked like he was in his thirties, and was dressed as a high-roller, and his pupils shrank, and there was a trace of ecstasy and horror in his eyes when he looked at Kong Laosan.
"Big brother?!"
"Six masters, how are you?"
"Hack this kid to death!"
......
The scene in front of him seemed to have lost a stone in the calm lake, and suddenly exploded, this group of men seemed to be aroused bloody, and they picked up the knife one by one to cut Kong Laosan into meat sauce, but for Kong Laosan, these men are just empty of blood, not even a third-rate martial artist, at most they act as thugs of some small gangs, and they don't pose any threat to themselves at all.
"Humph!"
Kong Laosan snorted coldly, and at some point there was an extra piece of rune paper in his hand, and with a slight twist, a ball of fire appeared out of thin air, turning around slightly, and the steel knives in the hands of these men were like ice and snow falling into the furnace, almost instantly melted, turning into a red molten iron, and a few men who couldn't discard it, and were dyed by these flames, they didn't even have time to scream, and turned directly into a pile of ashes.
"Let me ask you, what did you call the leader of the Water and Salt Gang just now?
Kong Laosan said coldly. The man in front of him had a broken arm, but he was also hard, although his forehead was drenched in cold sweat, he was stunned, his eyes were rolling, obviously he wanted to take the opportunity to make some requests. Seeing this, Kong Laosan frowned, but now he didn't have the heart to play any scheming with this man, and he didn't want to throw the steel knife away, and the man's good head flew up directly.
Looking at the mess around, just as Kong Laosan was about to leave, the shopkeeper, who was originally hiding far away, was bold and said with some disadvantage, "Water ...... The leader of the Water and Salt Gang is called Kong Da, known as Tie Ye, Xiao Yinzi's brother Xiao Yu'er is his henchman, I know Xiao Yinzi's family, if Xiao Ye doesn't mind, I'll take you there!"
