Chapter 7: The Murder Scene on the Qingsha River
"I don't know where you want to go?" The people in the rivers and lakes spit on a pit, although Pi San is a splashy but he claims to be a good man, since he has received Zhang Ziqi's money, he has to fulfill the obligation of a guide, and he will not accept the protection fee today.
To tell the truth, how can Zhang Ziqi's money be easy to earn by collecting protection fees, and raising his hand is a gold bead, which is enough for him to find a medium-sized girl in the hook bar to be happy several times.
"Intoxicating Building. Zhang Ziqi replied, chewing on maltose.
"Huh?"
Hearing that Zhang Ziqi was going to go to a brothel in broad daylight, Pi San was startled, good guy, I can't see it, this Taoist master is young and originally played double cultivation, I don't know if he is a man or not, Pi San thought and clamped the backyard.
The girls slept a lot during the day, but where did they go to the brothel now?
Zhang Ziqi didn't know that Pi San understood it tightly, he didn't take Zhang Ziqi directly to the West Market, but took him to a restaurant with excellent business first.
"Food is the sky. Zhang Ziqi lightly read the three golden characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque of the restaurant, and shook his head, he did not agree with this.
The Sword Hall where he is located is simply the place where the Sword Sect cultivates killers, and the Sword Hall requires disciples to give up their desires, and the desire to eat is one of the obstacles on the road to becoming stronger.
Pi San sniffed the aroma wafting from the restaurant and swallowed wildly, "Little Daoist, this is one of the best restaurants in our eastern capital, and the chef in the store used to be the imperial chef of the Xishu Palace, and the craftsmanship is ......."
"So what?" Zhang Ziqi looked at Pi San coldly, I'm going to a brothel, why did you bring me here.
Pi San was frightened by Zhang Ziqi's cold look, afraid that he would torture himself with spells again, and hurriedly said: "You just said that the main reason for going to the brothel is to find people, there are so many brothels in the Eastern Capital, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find a single person, and the restaurant is a gathering place for the three sects and nine streams, and we may be able to find out some news here." ”
"It makes sense," Zhang Ziqi nodded, "Just say it when you're hungry." ”
"Master. Pi San cried and tried to explain.
"Okay," Zhang Ziqi motioned to keep his mouth shut, since he came to the Eastern Capital, let's have a good time, and go back to talk to my brother and have the capital to brag, "Let's go in." ”
As soon as the two walked to the door of the restaurant, an enthusiastic junior came forward to greet them, and took the two to the private seat on the second floor under the signal of Pi San.
The second floor is quite spacious, with more than a dozen tables, most of which are full, and the smell of food is overflowing.
The tables are separated by ink-painted screens, and in the center of the hall sits a veiled woman playing the harp, which is also elegant, but the sound of the piano is drowned out by the laughter of the guests, and the woman plays the piano by herself, as if everything around her has nothing to do with her.
Zhang Ziqi glanced at her with interest, and followed Xiao Er to a table by the window and sat down.
The wooden window of the carved flowers is open, and the cool breeze hits, carrying the fishy smell of the silk river water, and outside the window, there is the Yangtze River, the longest river in the mainland, and the Qingsha River, a tributary of the eastern capital, flows through the eastern capital.
Xiao Er waited beside the two of them for orders, Pi San looked at Zhang Ziqi and waited for him to speak, Zhang Ziqi didn't take care of it, admiring the Qingsha River view.
"Serve me all your signature dishes and a few bottles of good wine. Pi San can only make the decision hard, he didn't mention the wine girl, after his observation, Zhang Ziqi is not like the kind of person who likes women.
Xiao Er went downstairs to leave, and Pi San was about to have nothing to say, but he heard a commotion on the river.
Zhang Ziqi looked up, above the clear river, there were dozens of simple rafts, each raft stood five or six shirtless strong men, and the posture seemed to be divided into two factions, facing each other in the torrent.
Zhang Ziqi, who had excellent eyesight, saw that the two strong men on one side took advantage of the negotiation to quietly dive into the water, and the acquaintances on both sides joked with each other, and they were a little relaxed, and the two strong men suddenly became difficult, jumped out of the water with long knives, and attacked a man in white who was protected by everyone.
Several people around the man didn't have time to draw their knives, and blocked each other with their bodies, giving the other brothers time to react, and the man in white was protected on another bamboo raft, he pointed with his hand and sword, and several white lights flashed, and the two strong men actually left their heads in an instant, and blood sprayed and stained the red river.
Using this as a trigger point, both sides drew their knives and slashed at each other, splattering blood and stumps.
Zhang Ziqi looked strange, but Pi San, a native of the Eastern Capital, was not surprised, he explained to Zhang Ziqi: "This is the two major Cao Gangs in the Eastern Capital fighting for territory, the Red Turban is the Sanqi Gang, the old gang in the Eastern Capital, who has controlled the Qingsha River for many years, and the one with the blue ribbon on his arm is the Tsing Yi Gang, a gang that has recently risen strongly, and it is said that their gang leader is a cultivator." ”
Zhang Ziqi was stunned, and just now he felt a wave of aura fluctuations, and a few white lights flashed between the hands of the white-clothed man, which were clearly several fast-flying pocket flying swords.
The aura consumed by the sword is very large, and the use of aura must reach a certain level, and the monks of the Lingkai Realm cannot do it, with the initial cultivation of Zhang Ziqi's method knot, it can support a stick of incense at most, while the man in white is controlling three or four flying swords at the same time, although the consumption of aura is small for small swords, but the requirements for spiritual consciousness of multiple swords are also great.
Zhang Ziqi speculated that the man in white had at least the cultivation in the middle of the Fa Knot, and he didn't understand why the monks in the middle of the Fa Knot would be willing to mix with the gangs in the rivers and lakes.
Zhang Ziqi looked at the white-clothed man on the river with his spiritual sense, and the white-clothed man seemed to feel something, turned his head to look in the direction of "food is the sky", and smiled slightly.
Pi San also saw it and exclaimed: "The one in white is the new leader of the Tsing Yi Gang, but I didn't expect him to risk his life to participate in the fight." ”
The guests at the next table heard the conversation between the two and said: "It is said that this person appeared in the Eastern Capital three years ago, when he was covered in a coma in the middle of the river, and was rescued by the old gang leader of the Tsing Yi Gang, and he was accepted as a righteous son for his treatment. ”
"They are fighting and fighting in the city, and the government doesn't care?" Zhang Ziqi asked.
The guests at the side table laughed, pushed open the screen and walked to Zhang Ziqi's side: "In order to get support, the two sides will pay tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Eastern Capital Mansion every year, and the government can't wait for them to keep fighting, they are all pariahs, what do you care about them dog-eat-dog?"
