Chapter 338: Night Flower Exploration Meeting
Chapter 338: Night Flower Exploration Meeting
Liu Xianping was about to make a move, but he couldn't help it, he had traveled the rivers and lakes for several years, and he was not a reckless person, so he said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am from the north, and I am not familiar with this place, please take care of it." ”
Those people were also very polite and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Liu Xianping said: "My horse, but it's not bad, everyone fancy it, please ride away." ”
The man said, "You are bold enough, I remember you." ”
Liu Xianping said: "I don't know which gang and faction are you, and where am I going to visit?"
"We are from the Hundred Flowers Society. ”
Liu Xianping said: "Ah, it's really thunderous, please take care of it in the future, and I am grateful." ”
"Well said, well said. At that time, you can just mention my name as three. ”
Liu Xianping said: "Master Cheng, when the time comes, please take care of it more." That's the case, the first time I came to your land, I also want to get married, and the protection fee of this tea shopkeeper ......"
Na Cheng San said: "I see that you are also a frank and bold person, and this year's protection fee will be waived." ”
Liu Xianping said: "Thank you, thank you." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly ran over and bowed to Cheng San, thanking him for a while. "If you want to thank, thank the generous Lord." ”
When they had finished speaking, the men led the horses and drove away.
The shopkeeper was about to kneel on the spot to thank him, but Liu Xianping hurriedly grabbed him and didn't let him kneel. The shopkeeper took Liu Xianping's hand and said, "Benefactor, please come and sit in the house." ”
Liu Xianping had to follow him into the house and sit down. The shopkeeper pulled the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man who had just paid the protection fee, that is, the shopkeeper's son, and wanted to kneel down together, Liu Xianping hurriedly stood up and pulled them up. After some pushing, Liu Xianping sat down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and put it on the table and made tea. The two sat around Liu Xianping.
Liu Xianping asked: "Will this hundred flowers be so arrogant!"
"Isn't it? Families have to pay protection money. I have patients at home, and they are still taking medicine, and I really can't afford to pay them. This is a child who went out and borrowed money from a relative to hand it over. ”
Liu Xianping asked, "Does the government care?"
The shopkeeper said: "When this Hundred Flowers Club just started, there were only a dozen people, nothing more than doing some things like stealing chickens and dogs, the government turned a blind eye, and after a long time, they bullied the market, and the government couldn't control it." Now it's even more amazing, opening gambling halls, opening brothels, lawlessness, and the government can't manage it if it wants to. These local snakes, who have a lot of money, kill people and set fires, do evil, and collude with the upper and lower levels have become a major local hazard and cannot be eradicated. ”
Liu Xianping "snapped", slapped his hands on the table, and said, "Isn't there a royal law yet?"
The middle-aged man said: "A month ago, I heard that a minister came to investigate the Hundred Flowers Society, but I waited for a long time and didn't hear from him. I don't know if it's true or not?"
Liu Xianping thought that we had exterminated the Yanjia pit in Hunan and played the imperial court, and the imperial court would inevitably investigate this matter thoroughly and send the minister of the Qincha, maybe there was such a thing, if there was really one, this month had passed, and I am afraid that the minister of the Qincha would also be more auspicious.
Thinking of this, Liu Xianping felt anxious, and suddenly stood up and was about to leave. How could the shopkeeper's family let him go? Liu Xianping saw that his family was enthusiastic, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down and leave after eating.
The middle-aged man went out of the door, summoned a thin black dog, hugged it, tied it with a rope, beat it to death, hung it from a tree, and skinned it. Chop the dog meat, put it in a casserole, sprinkle some ingredients, and put it on the stove to stew.
In the evening, the dog meat has been stewed, brought to the table, open the lid of the casserole, and the aroma of the dog meat will come to the nose. The shopkeeper said: "You saved our whole family, there is no way to repay it, please ask the benefactor to taste dog meat." ”
Liu Xianping was eating a bite of dog meat, and before he could taste it, he saw a girl push the door in. The shopkeeper said, "This is my granddaughter, named Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu, come and thank your benefactor, if it weren't for your benefactor, where would you still be standing here?"
That Xiaoyu was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a thin body, a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, straight eyebrows, and slightly whiter skin than the southerners. She stepped forward and knelt down and gave Liu Xianping a few snorts.
Liu Xianping stood up and was about to pull, but the shopkeeper was busy holding down Liu Xianping and not letting him move, so that Xiaoyu really snorted seven or eight times.
The shopkeeper said, "The benefactor will be scolded by her." This Hundred Flowers Society had already beaten her mind and wanted to pull her to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. She went out early in the morning to hide. It was the benefactor who saved her. ”
Liu Xianping sat down and picked up his wine glass to drink, this southern wine tasted very light, so he had to drink it.
After eating the dog meat, Liu Xianping insisted on leaving, and the family couldn't keep it. Before going out, Liu Xianping took out five taels of silver from his body and handed it to the shopkeeper. Liu Xianping said: "Your stewed dog meat is delicious, and it is the first time in my life to eat dog meat." Shopkeeper, you take the money first, and after a while, I will come to eat dog meat. ”
The shopkeeper had to take it, and Liu Xianping said goodbye and left. At this time, it was already evening, and the twilight was all over, and the streets of this flower city were more lively than in the daytime.
Liu Xianping slowly walked to the north city gate. When I came to the city gate, I saw Yulan outside the city gate, walking back and forth, her face full of anxiety.
Liu Xianping walked out of the city gate, and when Yulan saw it, she hurriedly walked a few steps, and said to Liu Xianping: "Jinxia was arrested." ”
Liu Xianping asked anxiously, "What's going on?" Who was arrested?"
Yulan preached, they followed Liu Xianping, did not dare to delay along the way, and soon came to the ground of Huacheng. On this day, he could already see the tall city walls of Huacheng, and knew that he would meet Liu Xianping, so he slowed down his horse's pace.
At this time, they saw the gangster (that is, Brother Hua), and the two of them stepped forward to kill the man. So he fled, and the two men pursued him. Brother Hua naturally knew them, so he immediately beckoned more than a dozen people to run over and surround the two. Yulan and the others are not afraid of them, and they are fighting with them. Unexpectedly, another group of people came, and they were outnumbered, and Jinxia was arrested by them.
Seeing this, Yulan turned over and fled on her horse, and the gang chased after her, but Yulan couldn't, so she ran into the mountains, and then got rid of them. Yulan was not worried about Jinxia, got off the horse, ran out of the mountain from a road, and came to the previous place, and the group had not gone far. Magnolia followed from a distance. In front of a mountain, the group entered the courtyard, and there was a big banyan tree in front of the gate of the courtyard, with a thick trunk and branches and leaves covering half an acre of ground.
Yulan was lonely and couldn't scream, so she didn't dare to step forward to save Jinxia, so she hurried to the north gate of Huacheng to meet Liu Xianping and find a way to save people.
Liu Xianping said: "Jinxia was caught in the Hundred Flowers Society. We're going to save her now. ”
The two walked slowly forward until it was dark. After walking for less than half an hour, I came to the Hundred Flowers Club. This house is built on a hill, with lush forests, a wall at the foot of the mountain, and two big red lanterns hanging from the main gate. The two of them did not go through the gate, but walked around the wall towards the mountain. When they came to no man's land, the two flew up to the wall, looking at the quiet courtyard, with flowers and trees sparse, and no one in the courtyard.
Liu Xianping said: "You wait, I'll go down and take a look." ”
Liu Xianping walked lightly into the courtyard, walked more than a dozen steps along the flower path, and saw a big wolf dog running silently. This wolfdog is very powerful, and can stand up as tall as a man. Where had Liu Xianping ever seen such a fierce vicious dog, and hurriedly drew his long sword. The wolf dog jumped up and pounced on Liu Xianping, who hurriedly squatted and flashed. The wolf dog pounced, turned around again, rose into the air, opened its teeth and claws, and pounced on Liu Xianping. How dare Liu Xianping confront it?
After these two pounces, Liu Xianping was no longer afraid of it, inserted his sword into the sheath, put a good posture, and greeted the vicious dog. The wolf dog pounced twice, so he lay his head on the ground and bit Liu Xianping's thigh violently. It was too late, it was too late, Liu Xianping waited for the dog to pounce, and then pressed its head with both hands, freed his right hand, punched it, hit it in the head, and punched it again, and the dog did not move. Liu Xianping let go of his hand, and the wolf dog got up and ran, without barking, he lowered his head and ran away like a smoke.
Liu Xianping turned around, made a gesture of his hand, and motioned for Yulan to come down. Yulan jumped off the wall and walked behind Liu Xianping, and the two of them walked forward one after the other. This place is located in the south, with dense forests and lush flowers, and the two of them used it as a barrier to run towards the mountain.
On the far hillside there was a tall, well-groomed house with lights on. The two of them ran forward quickly, there were many guards here, and the two did not dare to move forward, and shrugged off a tree. The tree was tall, with leaves the size of a palm, and the clumps of leaves surrounded the two of them tightly.
At this moment, a group of people came down the mountain road, and one of them was a coquettish woman. Magnolia looked through the cracks in the leaves, and this woman had met her for the third time.
