Volume 2: Nanke's Dream Chapter 16: Catching Turtles in the Urn
The underground forces in Chenya County were still in charge of a gang called the "Yizi Gang" about ten years ago, that is, when the Northern Qi and Southern Shang had just finished fighting.
As the name suggests, the Yizi Gang, the Yizi head, you just see a Yizi Gang on the street, and it is not strange that the muscular man with tattoos helps the grandmother to pass by, after all, they are all such a gang made by some Jianghu rangers together, so the main embodiment of the gang rules is the four words "helping others".
But after all, it is also a gang, and the gang leader and a group of younger brothers also have to eat, but the way the Yizi Gang makes money is different from other ordinary gangs.
They did not rely on raiding houses and houses, but on receiving a reward order from the yamen in Chenya County to arrest prisoners and get money.
This also assisted the Yamen in handling the case, so the Yizi Gang and the Yamen's head catchers are particularly familiar.
But relying on this economic source alone, it seems that the money is a little less, and it is not stable, so almost every member of the Yizi Gang goes out to set up a stall when he has nothing to do, and the money he earns to support himself does not cause trouble to the gang leader.
For example, on the Maple Leaf City side, if it was ten years ago, that street would probably be all sold by the Yizi Gang.
The Yizi Gang is the same as other gangs, that is, they also charge protection money.
However, after the protection fee is collected, it is real protection, and it is actually no different from those dart masters of the dart game, which is compared with Hongmen, which is simply exploitation.
Let's talk about this Hongmen.
Yin Qiu, the leader of the Hongmen Gang, and Yang Chang, the deputy leader of the Gang, the former are from other counties, and they are disciples of a martial arts hall in Feiyan City, Crescent County, and they are the personal inheritance of the hall owner, and they can be regarded as famous and factional.
His master plans to pass on his mantle and martial arts hall to Yin Qiu, after all, he has no children under his knees, and he also has high hopes for this apprentice, but this Yin Qiu is not a good thing, he doesn't know what his master means, he only knows that his master is making things difficult for him in every way, in fact, it is a tempering for him, plus Yin Qiu is worried about this old man's money, so he took advantage of a dark and windy night to strangle his master to death, and then fled to Chenya County with the money to change his surname.
Yin Qiu is the name he changed.
At that time, not long after the war, the law and order in the mainland was chaotic, and even now it has not eased much, so Yin Qiu is at large, and after arriving in Chenya County, he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles all day long, and spends money like running water, and in less than a year, his master's money has bottomed out.
Isn't there a saying that is good, if you have money, you are the uncle, so what about the money? At the beginning, the little Qinghua in the Qinglou couldn't wait to wrap himself directly around him when he saw Yin Qiu, and when this Yin Qiu was downcast and had no money, he didn't look at him, and turned his head to other bosses.
Yin Qiu didn't know how this kind of thing was, he already knew what it meant to be in the hot and cold world, but he didn't think about it, thinking about what kind of work to do, seeking stability, just idleness all day long, and messing around.
The latter, Yang Chang, also got acquainted with Yin Qiu.
This Yang Chang is different from Yin Qiu's family, his family still has a little money, and it is the kind of meat that can be eaten for three meals.
You must know that at that time, not long after the war, the people who could eat meat were considered to be big households.
This Yang Chang is different from his father, he is an out-and-out, complete loser, he doesn't seek to live a stable life, he wants to go out all day long, boasting of being a Jianghu person, getting together with a group of fox friends and dog friends, causing trouble and provocation, fighting and fighting, in fact, it is a gang of rabble.
So this rabble met Yin Qiu, who was really good at kung fu, and the beaten one was called a falling flower, and he subdued Yang Chang on the spot, and kowtowed to recognize the eldest brother.
The two began to be embarrassed at that time, and Yin Qiu taught this little brother kung fu, and he was also half of Yang Chang's master, and Yang Chang used the family's money to go out and mess with the eldest brother.
The two of them have been together for a while, Yin Qiu also has an understanding of this little brother, and as soon as the two of them are combined, Yang Chang left his hometown, followed his eldest brother, rolled up some gold and silver in the family, and joined the Yizi Gang overnight.
However, there are some deviations in the cognition of this Yizi Gang and Yin Qiu, and he thinks very highly of himself, thinking that when he arrives at the Yizi Gang, he can talk with his fists, and he can also be mixed with high-level officials.
But the leader of the Yizi Gang felt that these two people were not behaving properly, so they only let them be two little minions, and followed a helmsman to set up a stall in the south of the city every day.
Is this the life that Yin Qiu and Yang Chang want? What they want is the underworld fire, the stooping down of others in fear when they see them, the happy days of drinking and eating meat, but not the one who will do a good deed and do these aggrieved things in the future.
So one day, these two guys got drunk and made trouble and beat people in people's taverns for no reason, which was known by the leader of the Yizi Gang, and directly hung these two troublemakers on a tree for three days and three nights in accordance with the gang rules, so that they could have a long memory.
But on the first day, the two guys broke free from the rope and ran away, and disappeared.
The leader of the Yizi Gang didn't take it seriously, and it was okay if these two scum left, they always quarreled with people before, but now they are clean.
About a year later, Yin Qiu and Yang Chang came back.
They also took one person with them.
The man was wearing a cloak, his face could not be seen clearly, and he called himself Mr. He.
And this Yin Qiu didn't know how, and within a year, his martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds to become a martial artist of the Three Realms.
So, with the help of Mr. He, Yin Qiu killed all the high-level leaders of the Yizi Gang overnight, and then rectified the remaining manpower, formed a private party, eliminated dissidents, and finally wiped out several gangs in Chenya County, before becoming today's behemoth, Hongmen.
Thinking about his past, Yin Qiu squinted his eyes and looked at a small town in the distance.
That's the city of urns.
The reason why I was able to get to this point today is entirely due to that Mr. He, so according to Mr. He's words, he was decisive at the beginning of Hongmen, attracting more people to join the gang, and then kept a low profile in recent years.
He knew that the reason for the low profile was that Mr. He was plotting something, but he didn't know the specifics.
For example, Pei Qi said that Hongmen will spend a large amount of money every year that is not for the old man of the county guard, and he doesn't know where to go.
Those were naturally not embezzled by Hongmen's own people, otherwise so much money would have been lost, Yin Qiu was a fool and couldn't find out?
There are only two people in Hongmen who know where the money goes.
One is Yin Qiu, and the other is Yang Chang.
These invitations are naturally filial to Mr. He.
This Mr. He took this money, one did not gamble, two did not prostitute and three did not buy a house for pleasure, which made Yin Qiu puzzled, and he also accidentally discovered that Mr. He used this money to buy a lot of strange flowers and plants, all kinds of things he had never seen.
For another example, Mr. He often transferred people from him, and when some came back, Yin Qiu asked them what Mr. He told them to do, and those people didn't know, saying that Mr. He just asked them to hold some extraordinary looking pens and draw some runes everywhere.
There are still some who haven't come back, as if the world has evaporated, which makes Yin Qiu inevitably more curious.
But Mr. He didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask, after all, he had been listening to Mr. He's words, and he got to today's status, as long as he was next to Mr. He's big backer, he was very relieved.
So naturally he couldn't break Mr. He's plan.
In the past, it was common to hear news from the helmsmen of the various handicaps, saying that this Di Ao had taken a lot of their strongholds, and had arrested many brothers, which was called a majestic man.
And at that time, Yin Qiu didn't care, in line with Mr. He's low-key criteria, he didn't pay much attention to these small things that couldn't even hurt Hongmen's fur, the so-called harmless.
In other words, he didn't treat Di Ao as a dish.
It's just that because of the matter between the second gang leader and Luo Liangqiu, Di Ao also came out to get involved in the situation, and intervened, and after a long grudge, then I will take you to clean it up!
In fact, to put it bluntly, Yin Qiu just wanted to help Yang Chang find a place.
Therefore, this time he besieged Di Auror, Luo Liangqiu and others, and he was naturally prepared.
A plan on how to kill Di Ao, the number one catcher in Morning Crescent County, who is extremely prestigious among the people, without putting Hongmen on the cusp.
Then let the people of Chenya County still think he is alive.
After Yin Qiu sent the letter to the county guard before, he sent that barbarian to kill Di Ao, but the situation seemed to have changed, that Di Ao was more powerful than he imagined, and it was estimated that he was also a Three Realm martial artist, plus Luo Liangqiu and them, there were at least three Three Realm martial artists, so he mobilized the vast majority of the masters of Hongmen, even those with a slightly better foundation, and let them all gather on the side of Wengcheng, there were thousands of people, just in case they escaped, just in case.
So Yin Qiu looked at Yang Chang, who was like a brother to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, how about handing over these thousands of people to you for disposal?"
Yang Chang clasped his fists and saluted to his eldest brother: "Thank you, big brother." ”
Yin Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why do you and I have to see outside?"
"Then the roads around here will be obstructed everywhere, and a net will be laid to encircle the urn city!"
After listening to what his brother said, Yin Qiu's green and yellow smile gradually put away, he stretched out his hand in front of him, held it tightly, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he only heard him say:
"Okay! Then come and catch a turtle in one of his urns!"
