14. The flying thief is as graceful as the sky
The next day, Ding Piaopeng rode a donkey, Wang Xiaoer led, and the two came to the Huangliangmeng Hotel in the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe donkey was hired by Wang Xiaoer, and it only cost five cents to scatter the silver.
Huangliang Dream Hotel is a time-honored hotel in Handan, the building is two floors high, the painting is carved beams, the hotel is not only decorated magnificently, do the famous Ermao roast chicken, Matou Tianfu crispy fish, a basket of oil dumplings, these special dishes and snacks are the most authentic, it is nearly noon, the door is already a car and horse Khotanese congestion, diners flock to it.
The two of them entered the hall, and the shopkeeper asked, "Hello two, may I ask if you two are dining in the hall or in the private room?"
Ding Piaopeng said: "The second floor is finished with a box. ”
The Wanbi box is at the end of the west, elegant and exquisite. The shopkeeper said: "It seems that the two masters come often." ”
Ding Piaopeng said: "I've been here, but I don't come often." ”
The box sat down, and Ding Piaopeng said: "Please tell the shopkeeper, just say that Fei Ye is here." ”
The shopkeeper said: "The grandfather and the shopkeeper are old friends?"
Ding Piaopeng said: "No, it's a distant relative." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Wait a minute, the little one will report immediately." ”
After a while, a wealthy middle-aged man came in from outside, with a ruddy face and well-dressed, and as soon as he entered, he turned around and closed the door and put on the deadbolt. Turning around and walking towards Ding Piaopeng, he said worriedly: "The distinguished guest is, yes, sent by Fei Ye?"
Ding Piaopeng said in a low voice: "No, isn't it true that Shopkeeper Huang can't recognize the Flying Hero thief?" He laughed and said to Wang Xiaoer in the Hubei Macheng dialect: "Third Brother Liu's disguise technique is really amazing." ”
Only then did the shopkeeper Huang come to his senses, knelt down, kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "The villain should be damned, it turned out to be Engong's coming, and Engong's great kindness and great virtue villain will not forget." ”
Ding Piaopeng hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
The shopkeeper Huang opened the door of the box and called the shopkeeper to bring wine and food and hospitality.
Shopkeeper Huang and Ding Piaopeng met three years ago, at that time, although Ding Piaopeng was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he was already a famous hero in the rivers and lakes.
That year, Ding Piaopeng went to Handan to play, just for the idiom, called "Handan toddler". What is there to learn about walking, is it to walk fast? how can I be fast, is it good endurance and walking for a long time? how can I walk for a long time, is it walking beautifully, but not dancing, what is beautiful and ugly.
Perhaps, Handan people walk a little differently than people, so let's go and see it. What he cares about most is body footwork, otherwise, he will not be able to become the title of "No. 1 in the world". However, don't be like "Shouling Yuzi", he didn't learn to walk like a Handan person, and he lost his original walking ability, so he had to crawl home.
However, I don't have a home, I am a home.
When I arrived in Handan, I saw that there was no difference between Handan people walking, it was very ordinary. He had long heard from a friend that the dishes at the Huangliangmeng Hotel in Handan were well done, and since he came to Handan, there was nothing to learn, so he went to the Huangliangmeng Hotel to have two drinks.
Ding Piaopeng is good at drinking, but he is never greedy for a cup, he can't afford to be greedy, there are many people who want to kill him, if he is greedy for a cup and drunk and confused, he will die inexplicably. He had to live very sober all day long, and at the slightest abnormal movement, he had to react appropriately and accurately, either drawing his sword or fleeing with his legs.
At noon, I came to the Huangliang Dream Hotel. But I saw that the door of the hotel was closed, and next to the big tree at the door, there was a striped orange, sitting a man in black with an open arms and a scorpion tattoo on his chest, squinting his eyes, blowing a trumpet with a bottle of wine, and the smell of wine was fragrant.
There was only one person in front of the door, and the passers-by walked far away, Ding Piaopeng was very strange and asked, "Ask the eldest brother, is this hotel closed today?"
The man in black glared at him, and saw that he was a tall and thin descendant, wearing a sword, ignoring it, and said, "It's been locked up for several days, and you know!"
Ding Piaopeng asked again: "Why is the door closed?"
The man in black said: "Go, the children's family is nosy." The owner of this hotel owes people money, and the hotel is going to pay off the debt, so you can pay it back. ”
Ding Piaopeng said: "Oh, that's the case." Very disappointed, just about to leave, heard the screams in the hotel, and said strangely: "Big brother, what's wrong in the hotel, it's so cold." ”
The man in black said: "If the hairy boy is long-winded, Lao Tzu will drag you in and pick you up a layer of skin." ”
Ding Piaopeng said: "Really fake? Okay, you have the ability to drag Lao Tzu in." ”
Ding Piaopeng crossed his waist and stood in front of the man in black.
The man in black said: "Hey, I'm running into a short-lived ghost looking for death today, and I don't feel happy when I drink wine." He put the wine bottle on the ground, jumped up, and punched Ding Piaopeng's door, Ding Piaopeng handed over his hand to pick melons, grabbed the wrist of the man in black, and the wrist of the man in black hurt, oh yo yo screamed, fluttered and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "It's painful to kill me, master, master, oh yo, the bones are going to break, master, uncle, spare me this time." ”
The singles who are mixed on the street do not suffer immediate losses, they know that they are powerful, and their attitude becomes the fastest.
As soon as Ding Piaopeng's hand was sent, the man in black made a grunt and planted it on the ground. Ding Piaopeng didn't pay attention to it, and strode towards the Huangliangmeng Hotel, he pushed open the door with a "clang", and saw a large man sitting in the middle of the hall, bald, triangular-eyed, With a face full of flesh, an open chest, and an arm with cuffs rolled up, there were hideous green dragon tattoos and dirty black hair, and he held a bloody leather whip in his hand, and a sharp axe with a cold light was inserted on the table, and behind him stood four big men with sabers in black tights, and there was a middle-aged man in tattered clothes and blood dripping in the hall, and the scream was made by the middle-aged man.
When the big man saw a thin young man who broke in, he shouted: "Where did you come from, hairy boy, looking for death." ”
Ding Piaopeng said: "This is a hotel, not a court, you can come, Lao Tzu can also come." ”
The big man said angrily: "Scared, Lao Tzu? The person who called Lao Tzu Lao Tzu has not yet been born." ”
Ding Piaopeng smiled and said: "You don't have Lao Tzu? Could it be that your mother is a prostitute, and I don't know who gave birth to you! Or you just jumped out of the crack in the stone slab!"
The big man was furious and scolded, "The boy is tired of life." Got up, like an iron tower, and slashed at Ding Piaopeng with a whip, the whip roared angrily, full of strength.
Ding Piaopeng flickered, flashed the whip head, stretched out his hand, grabbed the whip tip, lightly took it, fluttered, and the big man actually planted a heel. The big man got up from the ground, waved his hand to the four big men who followed, and said, "It seems that he is still a practitioner, all up, take down the little rabbit cub." ”
The four big men jumped up, like hungry eagles pounced, Ding Piaopeng did not dodge, nor did he draw his sword, but leaned forward, and only made four moves: the palm split the elbow and stepped on the top of the knee, the four big men actually flew out, all of them fell down, broken legs, lame, blue nose and swollen face, wow wow screaming, and couldn't get up for a while.
Only then did the big guy know that he had met an opponent today, his name was Lu Niu'er, nicknamed the Demon King of the World, and he was the leader of the famous Axe Gang in Handan. At that time, he picked up the sharp axe on the table, struck with the cat's waist, and slashed five axes at Ding Piaopeng, the axe wind was fierce, the moves were dense, and the move was to the fatal part of the split, which was his famous housekeeping skill, known as the "Wu Ding Kaishan Axe". Unexpectedly, Ding Piaopeng's figure turned around, and it had flashed to his side, and his fingers were like the wind, and he was on his shoulder, patio, and Yanggu acupoints, and the sharp axe fell to the ground with a "thud", and at the same time, the flying leg kicked two feet on his ring jump and Weizhong acupoint, and the demon king of the mixed world actually fell to the ground with a "plop" and couldn't move.
Ding Piaopeng picked up the sharp axe, put it against the neck of the Demon King of the Mixed World, and said with a smile: "Do you want to die or live?"
The Demon King of the Mixed World said, "Whatever." ”
Ding Piaopeng said: "It's a man, leave you a way to live." However, if you see you oppressing the people again, Lao Tzu will abolish you, get out, and let Lao Tzu get out. ”
The men helped the demon king of the mixed world and ran away.
The middle-aged man sitting on the ground lay on the ground, kowtowed his head and said, "Thank you for saving you." ”
Ding Piaopeng helped him up, the two sat down, and asked the reason, the middle-aged man sighed and explained the reason for the matter:
The middle-aged man's surname is Huang Nian'en, a native of Handan Mansion, his ancestors are cooks, and he has also been cooking since elementary school, making several good dishes: Daimyo Ermao Roast Chicken, Matou Tianfu Crispy Fish, Golden Retriever Lionfish, Steamed Chicken with Mushrooms, etc., is becoming more and more famous, diners are flocking to it, and they are making more and more money. He rebuilt and expanded the Huangliangmeng Hotel on his ancestors, and became the largest, most famous and best business hotel in Handan. The days are thriving, and they are getting more and more prosperous.
The house of Gaoming, the ghost overlooks its room. This is true. The Huangliang Dream Hotel was targeted by a person from Handan Province. That person's surname is Yang Xingwang, who is now the brother-in-law of the prefect of Handan Mao, who runs inns, green buildings, casinos, clothing and miscellaneous businesses, bullies the market, and exploits the township, and is a nouveau riche in Handan. One day, Yang Xingwang came to the shopkeeper Huang to discuss buying the Huangliangmeng Hotel, and Huang Nianen thanked him: This is an ancestral property, and he can't sell it if he doesn't dare to sell it. Yang Xingwang asked Huang Nianen to quote, Huang Nianen talked about him left and right in vain, Yang Xingwang touched a soft nail, and when he left, he left a cruel sentence: You are toasting and not eating and drinking.
The next day, Yang Xingwang instructed his gangsters to make trouble. After a while, he said that the dishes were too salty, and he had to pay for the cost of medical treatment and lost work, and the diners couldn't look past them, and said a few words to them. Huangliang Dream Hotel has been unattended since then, who would dare to come again.
Huang Nianen had to temporarily close his business. Huang Nian'en thought about it, it was not a matter of closing the door and closing the business, so he asked how much silver Yang Xingwang would give? Huang Nianen said in his heart: This hotel is worth at least twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, isn't this similar to robbing, so he refused: Don't sell it. Come to humanity, don't you regret it? Huang Nianen said angrily, he doesn't regret it, he won't sell it when he closes his business. If you want to sell it, I will sell it to others, and I will never sell it to you Yang Xingwang. The person who came "hummed" and said, this is what you said. Wandering home.
Two days later, Huang Nianen was drinking tea in a teahouse with a few friends, and the servant looked panicked and found him, saying that his wife took his son to the City God Temple to burn incense, and before he entered the City God Temple, he was dragged into a carriage by several black-clothed men and snatched away. Huang Nianen panicked, quit his friend, went out of the teahouse, went to find his wife and son, first went to Handan Mansion to report to the official, and after catching the head and asking for details, he said: "This matter will be handed over to me to wait, I will investigate it thoroughly and will not tolerate it." Out of the yamen, just when there was no claim, a carriage came running, stopped beside him, the door of the carriage opened, and a posterior said: "Is it the Huang shopkeeper of Huangliangmeng Hotel?" Huang Nianen said: "It's down." Hou Sheng said: "Madame and Son, come up quickly and pick them up." In a hurry, Huang Nianen had no time to think, and said happily: "Dare to be good." Then he jumped into the carriage. As soon as he got into the car, the door slammed shut, and the carriage ran away, only to know that there were two strong men in the car, wearing hoods, showing only two eyes, one of them grabbed his collar, the other held his life, and two daggers were against his chest, shouting: "Silence, or I will kill you." Then he covered his eyes with a black cloth, stuffed his mouth with a rotten cloth, and threw him on the floor of the carriage, and the man's feet stepped on his body, unable to move. The carriage was running neither fast nor slow.
After a long time, the carriage stopped, pushed Huang Nianen out of the car, and took him to a room, only then did he remove the black cloth from his blindfold and the rotten cloth in his mouth, and pressed him into a chair. When he opened his eyes, he saw two copper candlesticks in the room, lit with two thick candles, the doors and windows of the room were closed, the windows were covered with black cloth, and the candlelight illuminated the room brightly, and in the middle of the opposite sat a fat man wearing a black hood, only revealing two vicious eyes, and a case in front of him, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and a sharp axe inserted in the case, and two strong men standing behind him, dressed like him, wearing a hood that exposed his two eyes. Huang Nianen snorted: "Wang, where is my wife?" The fat man said: "Don't worry about this, Lao Tzu invited you here to do one thing, and when you are done, I will send your wife, son and you back." If you can't do it, then Lao Tzu is not welcome. As he spoke, he lifted the axe on the desk and swung it, and with a snap, a corner of the desk was cut off. He stuck the axe in his desk again.
Huang Nianen said: "What does the king want the villain to do? Just give orders, and the villain will agree." "I want you to write a note of debt. "What is the debt?" "Write a note of 30,000 taels of silver owed to Yang Xingwang and Yang Da's shopkeeper." Huang Nianen said: "There is not so much silver under it, how can I pay it back." The fat man said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have any money, you can use the Huangliang Dream Hotel to top it." Huang Nianen knew that it was Yang Xingwang who did the game, and he said: "Ask the king for mercy, this debt to the villain really can't be written, if you want to write, the villain will have no livelihood." ”
The fat man said: "Come on, bring the dog lady surnamed Huang up." The door on the back side of the house opened, and a man wearing a hood, grabbed his wife's hair, and dragged his wife out of the inner room. The man pulled out his waist knife, the knife flashed, blood splashed, and his wife's head was spinning on the ground. Huang Nianen screamed and fainted. A basin of cold water woke him up, and on the ground was his wife's corpse, whose head had rolled to the wall, blood all over the floor, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The fat man said: "It's your son's turn next, to write the IOU or not?" Huang Nianen said: "Write, write, I write, just write." Write ......" He couldn't speak, he couldn't cry, he was afraid and hateful, the strong man behind him loosened the tie for him, he rubbed his wrist, and wrote down an IOU: I owe Yang Xingwang 30,000 taels of silver to the big shopkeeper. Named drawing, signed on the date, month, and date. Only then did the fat man say: "Send the king's shopkeeper father and son home." Don't forget, wrap up his wife's body and take it with you. The king's shopkeeper was blindfolded again, and he was relieved to hear a noise in the house, about to wrap the body of his wife, and to carry him into the carriage, and to hear the cry of his son in the carriage. Then the carriage ran up, ran for about three or four hours, and then stopped, the man on the carriage first pushed him and his son off the carriage, and then threw down his wife's body, the carriage disappeared in an instant, the yellow shopkeeper took off the blindfolded black cloth, and saw that it was late at night, the stars were scattered, the night was dark, and he was in the wild suburbs, and the body of his wife was beside him.
The next day, he parked his wife's body in the backyard and secretly entrusted his son to relatives to the countryside to raise him.
On the third day, he drafted a complaint accusing Yang Xingwang of colluding with bandits, kidnapping and murder, and plotting to seize the Huangliangmeng Hotel, and went to Handan Mansion to file a complaint. The prefect Mao Qingyun ascended to accept it, and summoned the defendant Yang Xingwang, Yang Xingwang said, what the plaintiff said, inexplicable, the villain was wronged, but the "arrears" were conclusive, the plaintiff borrowed from the villain three years ago, and Yang Xingwang issued the arrears in court.
The prefect of Mao asked the defendant to provide evidence, but Huang Nianen was unable to provide evidence, neither evidence nor physical evidence, and even the location of the murder could not be provided.
The prefect said: "The plaintiff is violent, but unfortunately there is no basis, and there is no basis for suspicion, so the argument will be postponed for the time being; the defendant shouts injustice, and the evidence is conclusive, although he is aggrieved, forbearance is the first; because the plaintiff has a wife killed first, his sanity is also human nature, his feelings are pitiful, and his heart can be learned. The murderer acted recklessly, lawless, human life was at stake, God and man were angry, and they were quick to arrest and try their best to investigate, and they must not be negligent, this case was strange and straight, and after the water set and the sun rose, the decision was made, and the original defendant was a little restless and retreated. ”
Huang Nianen was angry, didn't he help his brother-in-law in Ming, I don't know if the Mao prefect is really confused or fake, I don't know how much the Mao prefect has benefited from his brother-in-law.
A few days later, Wang Niu'er, the demon king of the mixed world, came to force Yang Xingwang to pay the debt. Huang Nianen looked at Wang Niu'er's fat head, and knew that he was the leader of the axe gang who wore a hood in the dark room that day and asked about the murder of his wife. Huang Nianen thought about it, now in the city, there are many eyes and ears, and Wang Niu'er didn't dare to come nonsense, so he said that the IOU was forced out, and there was no such thing, so he was whipped by the demon king of the mixed world, and he couldn't get through it, and when he wanted to change his mind and submit, the flying thief Ding Piaopeng broke in and rescued him.
On the same day, Ding Piaopeng persuaded him to treat his injuries with peace of mind, and he would settle the matter. He dressed up as a tourist to go to the restaurant and tea shop and looked around. learned that the nouveau riche Yang Xingwang was originally a scoundrel in the market, his sister-in-law was quite attractive, and later accepted as a concubine for the prefect of Handan, since then, he has relied on his brother-in-law, gathered the axe gang, bullied the market, extorted money, only three or four years of hard work, and immediately became rich. has done many murderous and murderous cases, but in the end he was safe and sound because of the protection of the prefect everywhere. He understands that if he is not covered by his brother-in-law, he is still a hungry and full prankster on the street, so every ill-gotten gain he earns will be equal to his brother-in-law. Handan City is naturally full of grievances, but there is nothing to be done.
Three days later, a very happy case broke out in Handan Mansion: The leader of the Axe Gang, Wang Niu'er, the demon king of the mixed world, and three henchmen were killed in a casino, and each of them had a sword pierced through the heart, and the wound was not big, but it was enough to kill; Yang Xingwang and Yang Da's shopkeeper were also killed while sleeping in a brothel, and his body was naked, but his head was missing; and there were bloody characters left at the scene of both cases: The perpetrator, Uncle Ding, Ding Asi, had nothing to do with others.
What's even more interesting is that on the same night, on the same night, on Yang Xingwang's house, a huge courtyard was lit by a heavenly fire, which burned into a white ground. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the fire.
The people of Handan City applauded, set off firecrackers one after another, and drank to celebrate, and for a while, the wine in the wine shops inside and outside Handan City, regardless of whether it was good or bad, was sold in a fine air.
Mao Qingyun, the prefect of Handan, panicked, and dispatched fast soldiers to guard the mansion day and night, and the study, bedroom, garden, and hall were all on patrol. The entire government was heavily guarded. I'm afraid that the flying thieves will come to find their own mildew.
It is rumored that Ding Piaopeng started an incident in Macheng, and after the magistrate was killed, the corpse was abandoned at the gate of the county yamen, and the head was hung at the head of the city for seven days, but no one dared to collect the body.
When he thought of this, he was terrified.
