Chapter 337: Tea shop gossip

Liu Xianping and the others walked up to the weeping man and asked him why he was crying? The man didn't open his eyes, but just cried and said: "I took my wife back to my mother's house today, and when I came to this three-way intersection, four wicked people came from the north, and when I saw my wife, I dragged her into the woods over there, and I ran forward to beg for mercy, and they grabbed me and killed my wife in front of me." Wow...... Ah......h

The man choked up and cried sadly, and it took a long time before he said, "After these four wicked people left, my lady was humiliated and hanged herself in the woods." I don't want to live anymore...... Woo...... Woo......"

Jinxia said angrily: "Sister Yulan, I just blame you, it's not you, I have a sword, where can there be these things!"

Liu Xianping said: "It is expected that they will not be able to escape far, so we will chase after them." Worried that this man would find a short-sightedness, he stepped forward to comfort him with a few words, promised to avenge him, and took out a lot of silver and handed it to him.

The three of them turned over and got on their horses, beat their horses and chased them down the mountain. In less than half an hour, I saw the four people in front of me, and they rode south with a grin.

Liu Xianping whipped his horse and chased after him. In an instant, he chased after him, and without saying a word, he stabbed with his sword, and stabbed one person to death with one sword.

Liu Xianping asked: "I raped a folk girl just now, are you you?"

Before the three of them could answer, Jinxia had already come to them and said, "It's not them, who else?"

The three men had already fought each other before, and knowing that they were no match, they pulled the reins and fled. Jinxia and the two of them let him escape? They chased after him, stabbed them to death with a sword, and overturned them off their horses.

One of the remaining men struck his horse, and the horse fled with all his might.

Jinxia complained to Liu Xianping: "Why did Liu Gongzi let him go?"

Liu Xianping said: "I deliberately let him go, wouldn't it be good for him to lead him into the Hundred Flowers Club." ”

Jinxia hated: "It's just cheaper for this villain." ”

Liu Xianping said to the two: "I'll follow him, you guys will walk behind, and we'll meet at the north gate of Huacheng." ”

"Okay. The two agreed.

Liu Xianping lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed, "Get ......" and ran south. Liu Xianping followed the man from a distance, and the road was not limited to a day, looking at the ground of Huacheng.

Liu Xianping gave up his horse, disguised himself, and followed the man on foot. But he saw that the man did not enter the city, but came to the west side of the city. There is a hill that is not high in the west, the forest on the mountain is lush, there is a row of houses at the foot of the mountain, in front of the door, there is a big banyan tree, the trunk of the tree can not be hugged by several people, the shade of half an acre of land is covered, there is a bench under the tree, there are three or four idlers sitting on the bench, drinking tea and chatting. When he saw the man returning, he cried out,

"Brother Hua, why did you come back alone?"

Brother Hua said: "Needless to say, I was killed." ”

Those humanitarians: "Who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to provoke the Hundred Flowers Society?"

Brother Hua said: "It's not those two yet, add another one." ”

"These three are also impatient. ”

Brother Hua asked, "Where is the helper?"

"It's on the mountain, you go up quickly. ”

Liu Xianping was afraid that he would reveal his identity during the day, so he left here and prepared to come back at night. Liu Xianping turned back the same way, found his horse, turned over on his horse, came to Huacheng, led the horse, and walked into the city.

This flower city is a big city in the south, with many shops, scholars and women, chariots and horses, and noisy people. Liu Xianping led the horse aimlessly forward, crossed a straight street, and turned onto a lively street. I saw a tea shop next to it, there was a big banyan tree in front of the tea shop, and there were three tea tables under the tree, and several guests sat at one table drinking tea and chatting.

Liu Xianping was also tired of walking, so he tied his horse under a small tree and approached the tea shop. The shopkeeper had already come to say hello. Liu Xianping walked under the banyan tree and sat down at a wooden table. The shopkeeper was an old man, and immediately brought a tea bowl and poured boiling water. The jasmine and tea leaves tumbled up and down in the hot water and slowly sank.

Liu Xianping took a sip of flower tea, quenched his thirst, and let the cool breeze blow on his body, feeling comfortable. When I looked up, I saw a house across the street, which had been burned by the fire, and it was in shambles. Liu Xianping asked a tea guest next to him, what is going on with the house opposite?

The tea guest said: "More than half a month ago, it was burned. ”

Liu Xianping said: "I came to your land for the first time, I don't know the situation, bother the eldest brother to tell me what's going on?"

The tea guest looked up and looked around, then stretched out and whispered to Liu Xianping: "The building opposite is called Tianxiang Building, but it is a lively place in the city......

A tea guest next to him immediately quipped: "Could it be that my brother has also gone in, and you are not afraid that your sister-in-law will quarrel with you?"

The tea guest said, "Go, go, go, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." He turned his head again and said to Liu Xianping: "More than half a month ago...... Alas, do you know what Tianxianglou does?"

"I don't know. ”

The tea guest said, "It's a brothel." More than half a month ago, two young people from the north came to Tianxianglou, took a fancy to a girl, pulled her and ran out. Someone else said that it was his sister-in-law, and that he had come to rescue her. At that time, a group of family members ran out, beat the two young men, arrested the girl, locked her in the firewood room, and beat her severely.

The two people in the north are also very powerful, they came again in the middle of the night, burned the Tianxianglou, and beat this Ding family, and those girls ran away in the chaos. ”

Liu Xianping praised: "It sounds so happy. ”

The tea guest said, "You can be quiet." You're not a local, so be careful what you say and do. What is the good end if you offend Tianxianglou. ”

"This Tianxianglou is so powerful?"

The tea guest said: "It's not that Tianxianglou is powerful, it's that the flowers behind it will be powerful." ”

Liu Xianping asked, "Does the government care?"

"How can the government manage it? The strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, this hundred flowers will ......"

Liu Xianping still wanted to listen to him, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see him continue. When this person spoke, he poured beans on a bamboo tube, how could he say this, but suddenly stopped talking?

Liu Xianping looked at the tea guest suspiciously, but the tea guest just lowered his head and remained silent. But I saw a group of people coming from a distance on the right, all with long knives in their hands, rampage, passers-by avoided avoiding, they were going in and out of the restaurant, tea shop, and grocery store, and they didn't know what to do.

Liu Xianping had been looking at him strangely, and the tea guest kindly whispered to him: "Don't look, drink your tea." The one who collects the protection money is coming. ”

Liu Xianping tasted the cup of flower tea in front of him as he said. The group soon came to this tea shop, four or five people walked in, and the machete slapped on the table with a "pop" sound, and the old man of the shopkeeper hurriedly ran out and said cautiously: "Ladies and gentlemen, drink a bowl of tea." ”

"Don't worry, you haven't paid it in two days. ”

The shopkeeper said pitifully: "I'm a little tight on money these days, can you give me a few days?"

There was a young master who was very angry, slapped the machete on the table, and said, "Less nonsense, get the money quickly." ”

"I've had ...... these days"

The young master pointed the tip of the knife at the tip of the shopkeeper's nose, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't hand it over again, be careful of your granddaughter, I'll get her to Tianxiang Building." Turning his head, Tianxianglou had been burned, so he changed his words and said, "I'll send her to Baihua Pavilion." Do you believe it or not?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, pulled the master's trousers, and begged: "Master, I will definitely pay it tomorrow." ”

When the young master saw his dirty hands, he clung to his clean trousers and did not let go, so he was furious, and kicked the shopkeeper away.

At this moment, a middle-aged man ran like a fly, ran to the front, and said to those people: "This is the money I borrowed, please buy some snacks." Then he offered it with both hands. The gang received the money and turned to leave.

When they came to the tree, they saw a horse tied to the tree, and they looked left and right, and this horse was extraordinary, so they turned around and asked, "Whose horse is this?"

Liu Xianping stood up, walked over, and said, "This is my horse." ”

The people said, "We want this horse." So he went and untied the reins.

Liu Xianping was angry from his heart, and he was about to do it immediately.
