Text Chapter 25 Strange things in Yanglou Ancient Town

1. A strange thing

Liu Yunqiao waited patiently with his companions for a long time, and a large pot of fragrant chicken pot was served, with all the color, flavor, and cooking techniques, and the seasoning and cooking techniques did not point out the magic, and the taste was indeed unforgettable, and they were full of praise.

After eating happily, Lei Xiang asked for six jars of wine, and everyone drank happily. Since he started playing two months ago, he has barely drunk a dart.

"This Jianghu dish really lives up to its reputation, the taste is amazing, the portion is very large, and the price is not expensive. The boss has been selling for half his life, and he didn't raise the price because of the large number of people, so he asked the guests to order more wine, and the limited supply was to ensure that the guests could eat and not stain the floor, because he hoped that the guests would treat this restaurant as their home. It looks overbearing and arrogant, and the boss is a solid-eyed person!"

Zong Ruopu made the best interpretation and understanding in a short time when he entered the store.

Liu Yunqiao couldn't help but admire her ice and snow intelligence. The news of the death of both parents in the family confirmed that only one of them would be left alone in this world in the future. He was originally in a heavy mood, sad and desperate, but when he saw several brothers who were born and died, he felt a little comforted and warm. he

Drink with wine to dispel sorrow and drink heavily, and forget the unhappiness in your heart for a while.

Zong Ruopu seemed to be aware of it, she picked up the wine bowl, "Brother Liu, life is short, and the flowers are blooming." No matter where you are, no matter how brilliant or sad, as long as you get drunk, you can relieve all sorrows!

"It's rare to get drunk a few times in life, okay, do it!"

"Come on, count me in. I'll accompany you with Sister Zong! Thunder echoed.

"Come on, come on, let's go together!" Lei Xiang seemed to see that Lei Ming had a vinegar spirit, and simply proposed to toast together to resolve the embarrassment.

A few young people drank selflessly and indulged in glasses. Let go of your worries and unload your tiredness.

Jiutanzi drank to the bottom, Liu Yunqiao drank excessively, and was already drunk and unconscious.

Lei Ming saw that Miss Zong was holding him, so he hurriedly picked up Liuyun Bridge and walked to the inn, followed by Lei Yu and Zong Ruopu.

Lei Xiang was also half-drunk, dragging his heavy footsteps a few feet behind, staggering deep and shallow, swaying behind.

At this time, the half-drunk thunder was stopped by a woman at the mouth of the alley.

Lei Xiang stopped, and the woman had a goose-egg face, heavy makeup, and grease and powder. Frowning at the thunder, the autumn waves are frequent.

Thunder was overjoyed, and followed the woman into the depths of the alley.

Walk into a second floor deep in the alley and go downstairs on a wooden staircase.

The woman threw herself into Lei Xiang's arms and cried softly, "My lang, the slave family is yours today." ”

Thunder trembled and excited, and hugged the woman and kissed her, who twisted her waist and let Thunder's hand swim and caress her.

The thunder sounded and the blood was strong, and under the urging of the wine, the two of them hurriedly untied their clothes, naked, and the two fine and naked bodies twisted around.

Just as the two of them were rolling on the bed board and forgetting the clouds and rain, the tom tom of the wooden floor was shaken loudly.

Suddenly, four big men came up and broke in. Lei Xiang was naked, panicked, grabbed the quilt and half-wrapped it, and had no sense of alcohol.

The four men came up and said nothing, and there was a violent beating around the thunder.

Lei Xiang's kung fu is not bad, it may be that he consciously loses his heart, and he didn't make a move to fight back.

One of them had a scarface, small eyes, and he squinted at a mouse and said in a strange tone: "Brother, it's enough cool." Yanfu is not shallow, dare to sleep with my woman. You said to yourself, what should I do? Is it private, or is it public?"

Lei Xiang immediately understood that he had encountered the "Immortal Jump", and the woman calculated to "set fire to himself".

He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has heard of the trick of "fairy jumping", but he didn't expect that he would actually experience it once.

Facing a few strong men, on other people's territory, not to mention that this kind of ugly thing can't be known to his brothers, he tried to calm himself down.

"Private, private, what's the law?"

The four strong men looked at each other and smiled secretly, as if they were glad that the deal had been settled.

Scarface's tone was still smiling: "You let me, a person with such a head and face in the Yanglou Cave realm, just become a king and wear a green hat, do you think you should compensate for my wounded heart." In this way, Lao Tzu will admit to being the eighth king for a while, suffer a loss, and you will give Lao Tzu three hundred taels of silver. ”

"Three, three hundred taels? That's too much, I don't, not so much. Can you be a little less, it's only five taels to go to the kiln in Drunken Huayin, you slander me!"

"Drunk Huayin, drunk Huayin! You are fucking looking for death, compare my flower-like lady with the drunken kiln sister? Tell you, three hundred taels is a lot, if you don't give money, you will take your dog's life, report to the official and go to prison. The man gritted his teeth, sealed Thunder's neckline with his right hand, and pushed Thunder hard.

Lei Xiang straightened the sheets in his hands in time to cover his naked body.

He was furious at this point, and with a push of his hand, the man fell backwards to the ground, and sat on the wooden board of the attic.

Lei Xiang is strong in martial arts, and as soon as he tried his strength, he found out that these four people were just "old sparrows" who were extortees.

To deal with such a gangster, what kind of morality do you talk about?

Lei Xiang tightened the fig leaf with both hands, flew legs in a chain, and swept his legs again, and several people fell to the ground one after another. Got up and fought again, and Lei Xiang knocked them all over with only three punches and two kicks.

Scarface got up, pulled a long dagger from his waist, and stabbed Thunder in the chest with ferocity.

Thunder flashed sideways, grabbed the blade with one hand, and stabbed Scarface in the opposite direction, blood sprayed onto the roof, Scarface took a few steps back, fell to the ground, and lost his breath.

Seeing Scarface's death, everyone stood in place in shock, dumbfounded.

At this time, the woman who had been cowering in the corner, naked and wrapped in a sheet, opened the door of the house, and fled. In a panic, he shouted: "Killed, killed!"

The shouting alarmed the people in the alley, and someone reported to the official.

After a while, a lot of people gathered in the alley, and a guard led a few arresters to patrol the night, they grabbed Lei Xiang, tied it up strongly, and escorted it to the county yamen overnight.

The next day, the county magistrate began the trial, and the human witness "corpse evidence" was complete, and the woman insisted that Lei Xiang raped herself, and after being caught by her husband, she became angry and beat her husband to death.

She pretended to cry and was heartbroken to death, begging the county magistrate to do justice.

The county magistrate was angry: How can this be reasonable, rape and murder of women from good families, national law does not tolerate it!

After the county magistrate briefly inquired about Lei Xiang's name, surname and place of origin, he was sentenced to death.

Just as he was about to throw the order to the verdict, the county government staff member standing on the side coughed.

The county magistrate hesitated, then got up and entered the second hall with his staff. The staff hinted that Lei Xiang was a person in the dart game, and the backstage was a martial arts master, and the dart game was also financially prosperous.

If he is not ordered to pay for his own personal gain, the prisoner's life will be guaranteed, the deceased will be long-lived, and the family of the deceased will be compensated with a sum of money, and the county government will share the money equally with the woman, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone?

At this time, the legal process is simple and controllable, and the sentence of exile can be preserved if it is remanded to the country of origin without reporting.

According to the intention of the staff, the county magistrate slapped his thigh, and he extorted six hundred taels of silver.

Lei Ming Liu Yunqiao took Guo Dart and others, and inquired about Lei Xiang for two days all over the town, only to know that Lei Xiang encountered a "fairy jump", and he was injured and went to the county government prison, and was knocked on a bamboo pole by the county magistrate.

Lei Ming was very reluctant in his heart, and it was a disgraceful thing to encounter such a disgraceful thing as an immortal jump.

However, he also remembered that it was a matter of life and death for his brother, so he had to pay six hundred taels of silver, and the profits of this trip were exhausted.

Lei Ming ate a heart-warming hammer, but he couldn't have a seizure, and sulked in the inn.

Lei Xiang is actually not Lei Yinuo's biological son, a street child picked up in the middle of Jiangnan that year.

Lei Xiang was only five or six years old that year, and his parents and family all starved to death. The poor child was starved and yellow-skinned, dying.

Lei Yinuo felt pity, remembering his experience of begging along the street when he was a child and being rescued by Master Miaoru, he picked up this poor little life with his own hands, and the dart team took him all the way, and miraculously survived.

This child has been very kind and sensible since he was a child, he knows how to care for his elders at the age of six, he doesn't eat overbearing, he knows how to be humble, he is very eye-catching at a young age, he pours tea and water for Lei Yinuo's old and two mouths, pinched his shoulders and beats his back, and serves his parents like him.

No one taught him, so he just let his father and mother call him naturally. As soon as Lei Yinuo's two mouths were combined, he accepted his righteous son, and since then he has regarded it as his own.

Later, he followed Lei Yinuo to learn martial arts and darts, Lei Xiang's qualifications were mediocre, but he worked hard. Many times, the practice is thunder urging thunder, so that thunder kung fu is perfect, and Luoyang City is famous.

When Reimer was in trouble, the thunder and thunder protected his younger brother, always rushed ahead, and it was incumbent on him to help him out, for which the two were beaten and punished by many fathers.

Mrs. Ray doted on Reimer and became close to Ray as a result.

Lei Xiang has a clear and high-pitched voice since he was a child, and he has been hungry for a long time since he was a child.

His father officially named him Lei Xiang. Before Du Lang came to the dart game, Lei Xiang basically played the role of the executioner before he changed his voice at the age of fifteen.

Lei Xiang was released, and he felt extremely ashamed of his brother and the dart game. Pouton knelt down for his brother, bowed his face left and right with both hands and slapped his mouth: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I was drunk, I was bewitched by that bitch, and I was jumped by the immortals!

Lei Ming turned his head, turned his face away, didn't pay attention to him, didn't speak, didn't help him, and sighed roughly.

If Reimer had done such a thing, he would have been beaten up and beaten first.

But Lei Xiang is different, he treats him like a brother and a friend, and it seems that it is difficult to grasp a suitable scale for blaming corporal punishment, and he can only sulk.

"I also said, didn't we go back together that night, why did I suddenly disappear from you, it turned out that you ran away and had a good time. In the future, how long the eyes are, don't let people catch yellow-footed chickens again. ”

Lei Yu counted a few words sarcastically, she followed Lei Mo and Wu Yunxue to do bad things in Luoyang City since she was a child, and she also understated Lei Xiang's mistakes.

"I'm afraid that our dad will know, my dad usually hates this kind of thing the most, go back and see if he doesn't kill you. Be careful. ”

Thunderstorm babbled again.

"Alright, sister. At this point, it is useless to say more. Everyone must keep this matter secret, and no one is allowed to reveal a word! For the sake of today's plan, it is necessary to find a way to go to the Wu family, the Wang family, and the Chen family as soon as possible, and return to the city as soon as possible. ”

Zong Ruopu showed composure at a critical time, and thundered and sighed to himself.

The roof leak happened to be rainy. Wu Zhengang, Wang Diancheng and several other joint families purchased a batch of brick tea, because of the serious delay in the southern waterlogging, the delivery could not be delayed.

Lei Ming, Liu Yunqiao and others could only stay in Yangloudong Town. Seeing that the ammunition and food were exhausted, the inn room money was unable to pay, and the five of them were at a loss.

"Big brother, I still have twenty taels here, which is enough for the food and lodging expenses of the twenty people of the dart team for a few days. First wrote an urgent letter to Luoyang, saying that the thieves had been encountered, and the delivery of the darts was delayed in January due to weather conditions, and the dart team was stranded in the Yanglou Cave in Chibi. The old dart head is righteous, and it is better to lose gold and silver than to lose integrity, and things will take a turn for the better!"

Liu Yunqiao's words made Lei Xiang's eyes light up, and he cast a grateful look, and Liu Yunqiao's words to Miss Zong seemed to make him see hope and remedies.

Lei Ming's face softened slightly, he was so angry that he had no idea for a while, and he had a spectrum in his heart.

"Alright, alright, get up. Look at what you're doing, I'm scared. Just do what Brother Liu and Sister Zong want. Ruopu, hurriedly gave a letter to Luoyang's home, and Du Lang, the executioner, took the two brothers to the semicolon to urge the goods. Stand by the others. ”

After Lei Ming arranged all this, he lost his breath and turned to leave.

2. Wisdom arises from urgency

The next day, everyone went their own way. Liu Yunqiao Lei Xiang and Zong Ruopu came to the market.

Liu Yunqiao had a plan, he took Lei Xiang to a tavern, and he gave ten cents to the diners at each table, so that they could talk about a topic together, the price of meat was going to rise sharply!

This went on for three days, spreading the news of the skyrocketing price of meat in ten taverns at once.

He also negotiated with a few meat sellers in the town, if he could help them sell thousands of catties of meat at one time, how much less could the price be discounted?

The answer is that the price is 30 wen per catty, or even cheaper.

At the same time, he demanded that if the ten tavern shopkeepers in the town came to inquire about the price trend, they must unify their voices and confirm the information on the increase in meat prices.

The next day, he found the shopkeeper of the tavern again: when he asked the shopkeeper how much he usually bought meat, the shopkeeper replied that it was 35 yuan, and some replied that it was 33 yuan.

"As far as I know, the price of meat is bound to rise sharply in the near future, possibly to 42 yuan. The shopkeeper can hoard more fresh meat to prevent the price of meat from rising, and the odd goods can live; second, after the price of meat rises, he can sell it at a high price and make a lot of money, how about it?"

The shopkeeper heard the news of the rise in the price of meat within three days and was very interested.

"If I can get high-quality fresh meat that doesn't increase in price, is the shopkeeper willing to buy 100 catties?"

It turned out that he was asking around about the price of meat, looking for affordable meat to buy in large quantities, and when he heard that Liu Yunqiao could get low-priced meat, he readily agreed without hesitation.

Liu Yunqiao sold it to the shopkeeper for 300 catties at a price of 35 wen.

He did the same, struck deals with nine other tavern keepers in a single day. Almost every tavern bought a few hundred catties of fresh meat, and gave an additional honorarium of 100 yuan.

Lei Xiang was impressed and admired, they almost stopped the white wolf with empty gloves, the difference in price per catty of pork was five cents, and they earned more than ten thousand cents in a few days.

The problem of the dart team's stay in the hotel has been settled, and Lei Yu cheered and praised Liuyunqiao again and again for doing business.

Zong Ruopu was very disappointed, she was sullen.

She has already secretly promised Liu Yunqiao that Liu Yunqiao has a heart, and she is still the same as always.

She is looking forward to the future, and she can wander the world with her favorite Brother Yun, with a red face and white hair, and return to the field to remove her armor. One house, one person, one family, three acres of thin fields and one cow, the tranquil pastoral life is the ultimate happiness.

The wisdom and cleverness shown by Liu Yunqiao's empty glove white wolf this time have the temperament and pattern of a big businessman.

Actually, she didn't want Brother Yun to be rich and wealthy.

Thinking of this, she was upset and sat alone by the window, secretly sad.

At this time, Lei Yu only saw her sorrow, but could not get a glimpse of her thoughts.

"Lady, why are you so preoccupied, I miss your brother Yun, aren't people good?"

She pinched Zong Ruopu's face and teased.

"I see that he rarely drank heavily before, and this time he returned to his hometown to find his relatives and returned with a lot of worries, and he also borrowed alcohol to kill his sorrows. Last time, I heard that I was going back to my parents, and looking at his expression, it was probably more than lucky. ”

"Why, it's distressing? Then show it, go to him, comfort him, offer your kiss, offer your warm embrace. Use your gentle heart to resolve the pain of your beloved man. ”

The half-tone tone seemed to have some truth, which made Miss Zong cry and laugh.

"Nasty! nasty! I'm not ashamed, you!"

Zong Ruopu's face turned red, she jumped up, chasing the thunderstorm.

"Look at Liu Yunqiao, although he is a stuffy gourd, he doesn't speak. is still a handsome guy and a nerd, but he is also dignified, good kung fu, fast brain, and righteous. No wonder my sister is so obsessed with others, this person will definitely be a master in the future. ”

"You have a discerning eye for gold, fall in love with him when people are down, and if you succeed in the future, you will not be able to soar together. Money and love are all in one go. ”

Lei Yu is a person who speaks directly and is smart in his heart, and for Liu Yunqiao, from the initial resistance to acceptance, and then to the current admiration.

Zong Ruopu scolded her coquettishly: "Cut, vulgar, vulgar, shallow-eyed philistine woman!"

"I don't want him to be so powerful and rich. I just want to live an ordinary life. ”

Zong Ruopu couldn't help but say what was on his mind, and suddenly felt that he was too abrupt, and couldn't help but lower his head, ashamed.

"Haha, I see. I finally know why you're lost, are you afraid that Liu Gongzi will come out, you can't catch people! Why, you haven't done much, you're thinking about the future days, and you don't ask people if they want you?"

She was followed by another burst of cannons, and Zong Ruopu was ashamed of herself.

The two are like sisters and have nothing to talk about.

It is often in banter and ridicule that the mood is exchanged and the relationship is enhanced.
