Chapter 22: Garrison
"Ladies and gentlemen, this incident is both a trouble and an opportunity. Jing Yu said.
"According to the news, the people who came to make trouble everywhere this time are all insignificant small characters. Those who will be attracted by conditions like the Black Snake Gang are just some garbage that can't get on the stage and can't get mixed up quickly, even for beginners like us, they are not afraid. Not to mention, the Rejuvenation Hall where we are located is the largest medicine hall in the west of the city, and it is usually heavily guarded, and tomorrow there will be an elite from the Zhirui Hall to garrison it, which can be said to be foolproof. But staying in the Rejuvenation Hall all the time is not a good achievement. Speaking of this, he turned his head to Mo Chen: "Especially Brother Mo, with your entry, I'm afraid you've already been concentrating, right?" But Brother Mo has only been in the gang for less than three months, and with this seniority, even if he has me as a guarantee, he can only learn a superficial fist and foot kung fu, not to mention the internal strength and mental method in the future.
According to my original plan, after all of us have concentrated and practiced fist and foot kung fu, we will fall to the Zhirui Hall, and with the current situation between our Golden Scale Gang and the Black Snake Gang, there is a chance to make meritorious contributions. At that time, there will naturally be no shortage of secret medicines, but the plan can't catch up with the rapid changes, and now the Black Snake Gang's counterattack is a great opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions.
According to the intelligence, although the people who want to make trouble this time are some ruffians and hooligans, there are quite a few of them. We have too many industries in the west of the city, and it is impossible for Zhiruitang to send people to be stationed in all places, so we can only pick some important industries to protect, and among these industries that have been taken over by Zhiruitang, the extra members will be transferred to other places for safety, which is also the reason why Brother Guan came this time. And the people who came to make trouble this time were counted according to the official members of the Black Snake Gang, so this was a rare opportunity for meritorious service. ”
On weekdays, the Golden Scale Gang is the dominant family in the west of the city, and no one dares to provoke it at all. In normal times, some small shops only have some business guys, bookkeepers, and shopkeepers, who are also peripheral members of the gang, and they have not practiced martial arts. Only when they have accumulated enough qualifications and merits can they be promoted to full members and start practicing, which is how Liu Yunzhi, the teacher of the Chuchun Academy, came here in the first place. In fact, if we use a figurative metaphor to describe this incident, it is: a small country with two hostile forces, the Golden Scale and the Black Snake. On this day, the Black Snake wanted to incite the mob to come to the Golden Scale Country to cause trouble, so as to destroy the economic development of the Golden Scale Country. When the Golden Scales Kingdom knew, they sent the army to protect some important companies in the country, and then the security and logistics of these companies were commanded to protect those small shops, so as to reduce the damage. It's not a very good analogy, but that's the way it is. Moreover, if the security guards sent out this time make meritorious contributions, they will be counted according to the military industry, so this time Jing Yu recruited everyone so solemnly.
Jing Yu said all the words, and looked at the few people seated: "This time I recruited everyone to come over to ask what everyone thinks, if you don't want to go, I will arrange for everyone to remain in their original positions." “
"Such a good opportunity for meritorious service, how could I give it up. During this time, I have been guarding the treasury of the medicine hall, but I am idle. Wu Yunlong was the first to speak.
"I'll listen to Master Jing's arrangement," Fang Ning also spoke.
"Such a good thing, I naturally can't ask for it, and I want to thank Jing Gongzi for his painstaking consideration for us. Mo Chen also chimed in.
The next day, in a pawnshop in the west of the city.
The pawnshop is not large, but it is about 40 square meters, and it is divided into two parts with a high counter. Above the counter is a wooden fence, through which you can see a guy standing in a small space behind, and a courtier sitting at a small table, that is, the bookkeeper of the pawnshop. A small path is left against the wall of the space for people to pass through, connecting to the storeroom at the back. The first half is relatively simple, with two armchairs on the left and right, and a coffee table in the middle. At this time, Mo Chen sat on the chair on the left, and poured tea for himself with the porcelain teapot on the table.
Just yesterday, after Mo Chen and the others agreed in Zuixiang Building, Guan Ping of Zhirui Hall assigned their respective positions to several people that day, so Mo Chen rushed to this pawnshop the next day. This is not a bustling neighborhood, and the shops around it are all small businesses that do some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and those who come here as collateral are all working with gold and silver items such as bracelets and earrings. There weren't many valuables like antiques and paintings, and there weren't any big deals that had been open for three years. It's because the business is mediocre, and the value is not very high among all the industries in the gang. Even if someone came here to sabotage, they wouldn't be able to cause all the losses, so only sending Mo Chen here would be able to take the credit alone, and there wouldn't be much danger. It can be seen that Jing Yu is indeed really thinking about him, although these are all his means to win people's hearts, knowing this, Mo Chen is still a little grateful. Speaking from the heart, since he took refuge in Jing Yu, Mo Chen has indeed gained a lot of benefits, which is undeniable. After receiving so many favors in the early stage, it will be difficult for Jing Yu to refuse if he asks for something in the future. This is also what Jing Yu wants to achieve.
At this moment, a group of five people who came together attracted Mo Chen's attention. These people who were dressed ordinarily and had grim faces came together not long ago, took an ordinary jade pendant and left. At that time, Mo Chen noticed them, generally speaking, those who came to be things came alone, even if they were forced to pay debts, they would not come to four or five people at once to be an ordinary jade pendant of dozens of yuan, although it was because the pawnshop deliberately lowered the price, but even so, the jade pendant itself was a bargain. However, a few people left as a thing, and Mo Chen didn't care about him, and it didn't take long for him to come back at this time?
I saw that one of the leaders of them shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Man, quickly take out my heirloom jade pendant, I will come to redeem it." Then he rushed straight to the counter and slammed the counter while shouting loudly. The guy took the bill they handed over, took the box containing the jade pendant, and came out to collect the money. The man shouted again: "Why is it so expensive, I only gave me 90 yuan when I was then, and now you want to charge me 130 yuan? Are you blackmailing me!"
"This guest, your things should be with me, and they will collect interest. Nine out of thirteen is the rule, and the bill given to you has been written on it. If you don't have enough money now, you can come back later, your stuff is here, one day is counted as a month, ten days is also counted as a month, as long as it does not exceed a month, it will be at this price. The man replied.
The leader cursed a few more words, and finally gave the money and left. At this time, Mo Chen had already stood at the counter, thinking that something had happened, but this group of people actually left. It's just that before Mo Chen walked back to his place, the group of people came back. At this time, the first person was holding the wooden box just now, and the box was open at this time, and there were several pieces of broken jade inside.
A group of people rushed in and shouted, "What's the matter, when I brought this jade pendant here, it was fine, and when you gave it to me, it was shattered like this?
Seeing that this person said that a worthless jade pendant was a peerless treasure without changing his face, Mo Chen knew where several people came from.
That guy is also a person who has seen the world, and at this time, there are official members of the gang who have martial arts by his side, and he is full of confidence and not afraid at all, and he is not responsible for just saying that things are out of the counter. So those people scolded a few words, and then made a move on Mo Chen, who was standing next to the counter.
A few people quickly dispersed, waving their fists and feet around Mo Chen at the same time, and only greeted Mo Chen everywhere around him, obviously very experienced.
Long before a few people threw their fists, Mo Chen sensed the subtle movements of their bodies through mental induction, and predicted the trajectory of several people's punches and feet. As soon as a few people swung their fists, Mo Chen rushed forward, approached the person in front of him, and at the same time urged the qi and blood to punch out. I saw Mo Chen's figure flicker close to a person at the same time, avoiding the attack behind him, his fist was red, and with a scorching breath, he hit the chest of the person in front of him first, only to hear a click, this person's chest was dented and flew out, lying on the ground while a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he saw that he was not alive.
Then, without giving a few people a chance to react, he lifted his foot and kicked at the left while his body turned, and the force on his foot was stronger than his fist, bringing air and snorting, kicking this person in the chest. There was a louder clatter, causing the man to crash into his companion behind him, and with another thud, the two of them rolled on the ground. Then Mo Chen reached forward with one hand and grabbed the fist that came from the right side of the induction. Then stood on the ground with two feet, grabbed one arm of the opponent's fist and forced, accompanied by the surging of qi and blood, the heat boiled all over the body, and a strong burst out, and one arm flung back, and the person who was grabbed in his hand was thrown up and hit the wall behind him, and with another loud noise, the person fell from the wall and fell to the ground motionless. At this time, there was only one last person left in front of Mo Chen, and seeing Mo Chen's performance, this person swallowed his saliva, honestly put away his fists and feet, and didn't dare to move.
