Chapter 603: Upper
The woman saw that Jiang Wenlun's face was not embarrassed, and she tried her best to agree, and her face also showed a burst of joy, and then said, "Childe is benevolent and righteous, if the little woman pushes it back, she will live up to the good intentions of the child", since the two have already discussed, since they are all the way to the south, they will soon enter the territory of Liuyang.
Jiang Wenlun said before that he was going to Juma Mountain on this trip, but this was not a lie made up in order to follow the woman's words. If the dispute between Liuyang and Pingjiang counties over the century-old Nanye Plain is to be resolved, this Juma Mountain is a link that cannot be bypassed.
Why? The Fenglei Gang, one of the two gangs facing each other in Liuyang and Pingjiang counties, has settled here. This Juma Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it can only be regarded as a hill, and it is only a dozen miles away from Liuyang County, and it is also a waterway, so it has become the station of the largest gang in Liuyang, the Wind and Thunder Gang.
Jiang Wenlun was ordered by his division to resolve the dispute between Liuyang and Pingjiang counties over the century-old Nanye Plain, and it was indispensable to deal with this wind and thunder gang, so Jiang Wenlun must go to this Horse Mountain.
Although this Wind and Thunder Gang is not a serious sect in Jiang Wenlun's eyes, since it dominates a county, its station is naturally not a place where anyone can go, this woman said that her maiden home is at the foot of Juma Mountain, Jiang Wenlun can't help but secretly mention caution in his heart.
However, the so-called saving people to the end, sending the Buddha to the west, simply sent it back, and after sending it, he withdrew and left, even if there was anything strange, it couldn't affect himself.
Jiang Wenlun thought so in his heart, but his face did not move, and he walked with the woman for a day and a night, and then arrived at the foot of Juma Mountain, and after the woman arrived here, she said that she already knew the way, because she didn't want to affect Jiang Wenlun's reputation, and wanted to return home alone.
Jiang Wenlun did not allow it, and the two parted at the foot of Juma Mountain. Although Liuyang is a county seat, but the history is very long, the city is not big, but it is picturesque, Jiang Wenlun first arrived here, for the dispute between the two gangs of Fenglei Chiyang, it is a dog gnawing Wang Ba, there is nowhere to start, think about it, and can only stay in Liuyang County for a period of time, first touch the roots of the two gangs.
In this way, Jiang Wenlun went to the county seat alone, enjoyed the scenery along the way, and soon arrived at Liuyang County. When he arrived at the county seat, it was already noon, Jiang Wenlun felt a little hungry in his stomach, and found a restaurant nearby, called Jiuxiangju, this restaurant is a three-story building, and the store is still wide.
Jiang Wenlun entered the restaurant, and when the guy saw the guests coming, he was busy going upstairs to greet him. Jiang Wenlun found a seat by the window and sat down, and the guy brought a towel and asked Jiang Wenlun to wipe his face, and then the guy asked, "What do you eat, what do you drink?" ”
Jiang Wenlun is very playful, in fact, his official words are also good, but he deliberately said mediocre local dialect, wanting to tease this little er, saying: "Man, what are you selling here?" The guy said: "Uncle, our restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Liuyang, all kinds of wine and food, banquets, all of them, as long as you can point it out, we can have it." ”
Jiang Wenlun said: "Very good, then do it, you bring me a vinegar ball, vinegar tofu, vinegar leek, vinegar cabbage, ......" "I said uncle, don't be jealous, your teeth will be sour." "Don't you know that mediocre people are jealous?" "I've heard of that, but you're going too far. "I'm joking with you, you prepare some of your favorite meals, you don't care how much money you have, I'll give it to you after eating." "Yes, you can sit down for a moment. ”
The man made a pot of tea, set four tables and two jugs of wine, and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. Jiang Wenlun unbuttoned his shirt, rolled up his cuffs, poured himself a drink, and drank very happily.
While he was drinking, he was admiring the street scene, and at this time, he suddenly heard a great commotion on the street, and faintly heard a woman's cry. Jiang Wenlun's heart moved, and he said in his heart What is going on, is there any fight and brawl, and why is he crying so badly? He put down the wine glass, leaned over the window of the building, leaned out and looked downstairs, just in time to see that the people downstairs were all hiding for a while.
It turned out that there was a group of people in the street, and this group of people wore crooked hats and squinted eyes, and in their hands were either whips or horses, and there were four horses in front of them, and four big men were sitting at once. The one who opened the way shouted in front of his head: "Dodge, dodge!"
The whip was whipped indiscriminately, and the common people ran straight with their heads covered. Just behind the men, there was a table, legs up, on all sides, and in it lay a woman. Maybe I didn't find the sedan chair, so I thought of such a way temporarily, so that the people around me couldn't see it, but it could be seen from a high place.
This woman shrunk into a ball, and she had become a tearful person, her mouth was blocked, and she didn't know how she struggled, and she struggled with the things in her mouth, Jiang Wenlun saw that it was the woman who had escorted her to the foot of Juma Mountain before. Just around this table, surrounded by more than 20 thugs, carrying the table and walking straight to the east, Jiang Wenlun is so big, he hasn't seen this yet, and he can't help but be a little stunned.
Jiang Wenlun looked at it, and wondered in his heart, but although he had been with the woman for a day and a night, he knew very little about the woman's origin, and he couldn't guess what was going on in front of him.
Curiosity, everyone has it, Jiang Wenlun wanted to find someone to ask, just when the guy brought the braised carp and put it on the table and was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Wenlun stopped the guy: "You wait, I have something to ask you." "Guest, please. ”
"I watched a lively scene just now, a group of people carried a woman on the table of eight immortals and went to the east, what's going on?" When the guy heard this, he shook his head and said: "Uncle, you can taste the taste of this fish, some things are better to take care of, as the saying goes, 'out of sight, not upset, more than one thing, better than one less thing'." ”
After saying that, he was about to leave, Jiang Wenlun heard it, knew that there was something in this, and stretched out his hand to pull the guy back and said: "Tell me it's okay, listen to relieve your boredom, I never take these things seriously, don't worry, I'm happy to hear it, I want to give you a little more reward." ”
When the guy heard that he was giving more rewards, he looked sideways to the left and right, and when he saw that there was no one on the left and right, he approached Jiang Wenlun, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, you said that you want me to tell me where that group of people came from? Hey, that's really amazing, that group of people are from Chang'an Mansion." There is an upper-end family there, the head of the family is surnamed Shangduan, named Shangduan Zhaoxiong, and the rivers and lakes are nicknamed "Thunderbolt Hou", which is too powerful, the upper-end family is one of the seven great families of the rivers and lakes, and the upper-end Zhaoxiong is the local emperor of Chang'an, who is in charge of life and death, and whoever dies will not be able to live. ”
"What about the gang just now, just some doglegs, originally just some green-skinned scoundrels in the county, three months ago, the little marquis of the upper end of the family came to Liuyang County, these dogs don't have other things, this ability to slap horses, that's a first-class good, and soon they were mixed with that one, and this Liuyang County made a miasma."
"How powerful is the Shangduan family? Since the Shangduanping came, the people in our small place have been held in the palm of their hands by the Shangduanping. That Shangduanping is not a good thing, everyone is afraid of him, and Shangduanping relies on the power of his own family to do all kinds of evil here. ”
"It's not surprising that snatching women like this one happens so often. I have heard that the woman who was robbed just now is surnamed Ma, called Ma Ruyu, her father Ma Huanzhang is the leader of the Wind and Thunder Gang, although he is a person in the rivers and lakes, but Ma Huanzhang is very well-behaved, and he is very popular in Liuyang County, but his wife died early, leaving only his father and daughter to rely on each other. ”
"Ma Huanzhang was born with five big and three rough, but his daughter Ma Ruyu is literate and hyphenated, has a good character, and is beautiful, and her fame is spread in all directions, which is called Shangduanping knows. In fact, when Shangduanping was in Chang'an, he already had a group of wives and concubines, countless of them, and when he arrived in Liuyang, he also robbed a lot of women, but Rao was like this, this one was still looking for flowers and willows everywhere. ”
At first, he sent people to Juma Mountain to propose marriage, but when he refused, he became angry and sent thugs to rob him. The four in front of the head, known as the Four King Kongs, are the bullies he brought from Chang'an City, hehe, that's a top innate master. It was these four who came out of the horse before to invite Ma Ruyu down from the Rejected Horse Mountain."
"I heard that this girl is not eating or drinking when she arrives at Shangduanping, and she wants to commit suicide at every turn, Shangduanping has no choice but to order someone to lock her up, three days ago I heard that this Ma Ruyu ran away while Shangduanping was careless, and was robbed again today, tsk, in my opinion, it is difficult for this girl to come back alive, it is really miserable!"
"I often hear that there is a young chivalrous warrior in the north, iron-faced and selfless, who has been chivalrous and righteous all the way, and has killed two of the immortals of the Sanqing Taoist Sect, so why don't you come here to take a look! Who doesn't get angry about something like this?"
"But what's the way to get angry? So I don't want to say it, it's useless to say it. Although Jiang Wenlun was angry after hearing this, he didn't show his face, and when the guy retreated, he began to think. Although Jiang Wenlun came here, it was just to complete the instructions of the laughing artist and settle the dispute between Liuyang and Pingjiang counties.
But the meaning of the laughing people is just to let the two counties turn the war into a jade silk, so that the people of the two counties will not suffer from fighting each other over the years, but according to what this little two said before, even if Jiang Wenlun can successfully talk about the two gangs of wind and thunder and Chiyang, as long as the upper end is flat here, this Liuyang County will never have peace.
Jiang Wenlun thought to himself, since he saw it today, he couldn't ignore it, thinking of this, Jiang Wenlun called his buddy, finished calculating the wine account, and gave a little more reward, and then went down to the restaurant and went straight to Duanmuping.
