Chapter 4 Heroes of the Rivers and Lakes

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

On the martial arts arena of Tianqing Mountain Villa, hundreds of heroes from all over the world gathered together. I saw the high might, the short spirit, the white handsome, the black bold, men and women, old and young, everything, everyone outstanding. Just like the Jiangdong Heroes Meeting, it reproduces the Liangshan Gathering Hall.

The owner of Ji Shaozhuang originally had a name on the rivers and lakes called "Jiangnan Timely Rain, Jinling Xiaomeng Taste", and the door was known as the three thousand virtuous guests. Although there are only more than 600 people in the village at present, the total number of heroes he once greeted and sent back and forth was not much different from 3,000.

For the first time in his life, Ji Hong saw so many martial arts people gathered together, and at this time, the audience was silent, and everyone's eyes were on him. Thinking that all of these people were armed with martial arts, I felt more and more that their eyes were sharp and murderous, and my body couldn't help but gradually chill.

I've also participated in the school athletic meet, and thousands of people have stared at me, which is nothing now. Ji Hong comforted himself in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "Fellow martial artists, heroes and heroes. Ji is incompetent, a few days ago he was defeated by the original sword of the delusional heart villa, he was seriously injured, his martial arts were all wasted, and now all his thoughts are discouraged, and his heart is like death, and he only wants to spend the rest of his life behind closed doors, and no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes......"

There was still no one in the audience reacting, Ji Hong's heart gradually calmed down, and his voice was even more sad, "The village is narrow and sparsely populated, and I have always been neglectful to everyone, and now I Tianqingshan Villa has been removed from the martial arts, and you are all talents at that time, so you can take advantage of this to fly out of the cage and show your ambitions, and no longer be delayed by this small pond and depression." The village would like to present you with 30 taels of thin instruments, form a good fate, and wish you a bright future. ”

These words are full of emotion, and they have said their own sad situation to the extreme, and they have depreciated themselves to the extreme, and finally there are thirty taels of road expenses to offer, I think these heroes should be able to leave satisfied, regardless of whether they are emotional, reasonable or financial.

Ji Hong waited for a while, but the audience was still silent, and everyone's eyes were still staring at him. I was suspicious: Could it be that thirty taels of silver is not enough? These people must have too big an appetite.

He forced himself to calm down and coughed, "What else do you have to say?"

A man with a short figure and a lewd appearance closest to him blinked, and asked with some hesitation, "Young Zhuang Master, do you mean that if we walk, we can receive thirty taels of silver?"

Ji Hong nodded hurriedly, "Exactly." ”

"Isn't that the end of it, you explained it earlier, so what are you doing in a hurry?" the lewd man stretched out his hand neatly, "I'll leave now, bring the silver quickly." ”

Ji Hong almost vomited blood in his heart: Is it because I want to speak so hard, I thought that in ancient society, the more formal the occasion, the more elegant it is...... Count my fault for overestimating your level of culture.

The housekeeper on the side gave him a letter of silver, and the lewd man opened it and looked at it, and immediately walked happily to the outside of the village.

Someone got up, and the scene opened. The heroes who wanted to get thirty taels of silver stepped forward one after another to stretch out their hands to beg for entanglement, and after getting their hands, they shook off their belongings and left the martial arts arena one by one in great strides and high spirits.

I saw someone pulling out a cloth hanging for fortune telling, someone carrying a signboard of dog skin plaster, someone carrying a full set of big drums and bamboo boards, and someone holding a red-butted little monkey walking with a somersault......

Ji Hong was stunned and muttered to himself, "These, these, are all heroes on the rivers and lakes?"

Although he already knew that few of these so-called heroes in his village were real masters, he should always know how to fight a few ways. But can these fortune tellers, drug sellers, and jugglers in front of them also be regarded as people in the rivers and lakes?

Thinking that he thought just now that they all had martial arts, and even felt that their eyes were powerful and murderous, Ji Hong only felt a fever on his face.

"They're all real people. A voice came from Ji Hong's ears, but he saw a tall and thin middle-aged man standing beside him, and said with a smile, "Young Zhuang Master, anyone who wanders in all directions, his whereabouts are uncertain, walking through the docks and alleys, and begging for a living with various skills, such as fortune telling, street performing, storytelling and drumming, even begging and stealing, are all wandering the rivers and lakes." ”

Ji Hong understood, and remembered that the beggar gang in the martial arts novel claimed to have 100,000 people, and most of the low-level disciples were afraid that they would not know martial arts, but as long as they were in the beggar gang, they were naturally people from the rivers and lakes.

"Thank you, big brother, for your doubts. Ji Hong looked at him and thought, you hurry up and walk with the silver.

But after the middle-aged man finished speaking, he stood still and watched the flow of people out of the village with interest.

Ji Hong was puzzled, could it be that this person had other plans, so he asked, "May I ask the name of the eldest brother." ”

"In the lower Wulian Mountain. The middle-aged man hugged his fists and said, "The young owner, Wu was once favored by the old owner Ji, and recently heard that the young owner was poisoned, so he came to visit Guizhuang, and just happened to see the young owner announce his withdrawal from the rivers and lakes." ”

It turns out that you have just come in from outside, so no wonder you don't walk with silver. When Ji Hong saw that he and his father met, he called him with his father's courtesy, "Uncle Wu." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Wu Lianshan was polite, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Young Zhuang Master, are you really going to wash your hands in the golden basin?"

Although the saying "washing hands in a golden basin" is true, Ji Hong always sounds weird, and he feels that he is at least thirty years old when he arrives. sighed, "Not bad." Send away these heroes and heroes, I will return to the manor, reflect behind closed doors, and never interact with people in the martial arts again. ”

Wu Lianshan said with a smile, "Young Zhuang Master, you just have to stay closed from now on, and you can't deal with martial artists." ”

Ji Hongqi said, "Why is this?"

Wulian Shan said, "Young Zhuang Master, you wash your hands and go into hiding, and famous fellow Jianghu people will naturally not come to you again." But your family has a big business, and it is inevitable that there will be small people who covet it. Besides, if you give up the reputation of Tianzihao, it is equivalent to informing the world that your family is weakly armed. Those friends on the underworld who fly on the eaves and go up and down are not small in stealing and robbing large families. ”

Ji Hong was stunned, thinking about it, it was really like this, "Uncle Wu, how do ordinary big families prevent theft and robbery?"

Wulian Mountain said, "Naturally, I invite a master who has practiced kung fu to take care of the home." ”

Ji Hong was worried, "Where am I going to ask for a master of the nursing home?" Yes, these heroes are not finished yet, I hurry up to recruit the nursing home now, how many can I find a few capable people, right?"

Wu Lianshan smiled, "Young Zhuang Master, then how do you judge the level of their martial arts?"

Ji Hong said, "Naturally, I asked them to practice their skills on the spot to watch the martial arts." ”

Wu Lianshan pointed to a few big men with guns and sticks on their backs, "If you let them do it, these heroes will definitely be able to perform all kinds of magic skills such as chest gravel, silver spear against throat, empty-handed brick splitting, fighting cattle across the mountain, rolling nail boards, etc., all of them are extremely exciting." Young owner, do you think they will be able to take care of your home?"

"Excuse me. Ji Hong quickly shook his head. Whether these street performances are good or not, and whether they are masters or not, are two different things.

Among the heroes who break big rocks on the street, there may not be no one who has real skills. But it is rare to see a master who is downcast to this point, and Ji Hong can't tell whether the practitioner is a real kung fu or a showman.

He sighed in his heart, if he can't do martial arts, it's really difficult to do it, not to mention that he can't protect himself, and even if he wants to ask a master to protect his family, he lacks the eyesight to recognize people.

But I heard Wu Lianshan say in his ear, "Young Zhuang Master, the remaining ten or so friends, but they all have real skills." ”

Ji Hong only found out that the Zhuang disciples in the martial arts arena had almost dispersed, and only the last dozen or so people were still standing nearby.

Originally, Ji Hong already thought that "sharp eyes and murderous aura" were just his psychological effects, but in these eleven people, he knew that he was wrong.

These more than ten people are calm, not moving at all, and the light in their eyes is scorching, which is like substance.

Ji Hong was under a lot of pressure in his heart, and asked hard, "Heroes, do you have any advice?"

A black-clothed monk with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes should be the first to fold, "Amitabha, the young owner, the poor monk once made a vow to recite the "Fushou Sutra" for Guizhuang for three consecutive years. At this time, I have only been studying for two months, and if I leave, I will inevitably lose all my efforts, which is a pity. It is also hoped that the young owner of the village will let the poor monk finish reciting this scripture to ensure that the noble village will have a long life. ”

I haven't heard of any "Fushou Sutra" in the Buddhist scriptures, but the Taoists have a "Taishang Cave God Sanyuan Miaoben Fushou Sutra", which is clearly full of nonsense.

Ji Hong was disappreciative in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "The master is compassionate, I am grateful." It's just that I just died and came back to life, and suddenly I felt that the world was empty, and there was no difference between the existence and non-existence of longevity. The master does not have to worry about the village, he chooses a treasure to practice early, and he is brave and diligent to achieve positive results, which is a good thing. ”

"Amitabha, Master Ji, you are cutting off your own blessings......" The monk sighed slightly, waiting to continue persuasion. A bearded man was impatient, raised a huge axe, and interrupted the monk's words, "Monk, don't be verbose. The kid surnamed Ji, you heard clearly, Lao Tzu has been secretly cultivating the Soul Breaking Axe for several years, and he can practice to the seventh layer in another half a year. You kid want to drive everyone away, so how can Lao Tzu practice the axe method?"

Ji Hong wondered, "This hero, won't you practice if you leave the village?"

The bearded man's face turned red, and he shouted angrily, "This kind of thing like practicing has to be done in one go, and if it is broken, it will not be able to be connected!"

Ji Hong was stunned for a moment, thinking of "the fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth", "if you don't practice for three days, you will lose half of your kung fu" and other sayings that illustrate the importance of perseverance, can this practice really not be interrupted?

Wu Lianshan suddenly laughed, "Naturally, you can practice anywhere, but this friend has left Tianqing Mountain Villa, and there is no stable place for him to practice." ”

Ji Hongqi said, "Why is this?"

Wu Lianshan said, "This friend turned out to be Zhao Feng, the third master of Shandong Fenglei Hall, and a few years ago, his brother wanted to get rid of the second master of the big boss, and a fire came down, and the vitality of the Wind Thunder Hall was greatly injured, and the second master was also seriously injured and died. But after all, he had no choice but to become a big boss, but was hunted down and killed, and there was no way to enter the sky. ”

And this black-clothed master is named Wuye, a well-known yin monk in the rivers and lakes, who specializes in harming the women of good families who are incense in the temple, and was later wanted by the government. ”

Ji Hong was shocked, "Monk, it turns out that you are a thief!"

Wu Ye smiled gently, and said, "Amitabha, the young master is serious, the poor monk is just in the middle of thousands of flowers, and the leaves do not touch his body." ”

Wu Lianshan pointed out to the people on the field one by one, these people were either Jiang Yang thieves who killed people and set fires, or underworld tyrants who participated in gang fights. And the reason why they came to the door back then was very simple, because they were desperate, so they looked for Tianqing Castle as an umbrella.

Ji Hong's scalp was numb, and only then did he know that there were so many time bombs hidden in the village. These guys regard Tianqing Mountain Villa as a place to hide and save their lives, and some people are even ready to practice revenge, so they naturally refuse to leave.

Thinking of the Water Margin, Chai Daguan directly instructed the restaurant outside the village to let them come to the village when they saw the passing prisoners, because there are many characters who rely on martial arts to commit crimes. It can be seen that the family villa, which attracts heroes from all over the world, is easy to become a high incidence of harboring felons. And if he wants to dismiss all the guests in the village, it is equivalent to cutting off the back road of these criminals, and they will naturally become a hot potato that cannot be shaken off.

Ji Hong once again found that he was still too naΓ―ve, in this world of swords and swords, no matter what he does, there are unpredictable risks, and it is not something that a homebody college student who has crossed over can grasp lightly.

Zhao Feng held the iron axe, squinted his eyes, and looked at Wu Lianshan coldly, "Brother is very capable, he knows the origin of each of us here, I don't think it's a simple character, it's probably a headcatcher, right?"

A man with a scar on his eyebrows said, "Looking at his appearance and age, I'm afraid that he is Wulian Mountain in the two famous arrests of '1510' in Nanjing City." ”

The name of "1510" does not mean how good the two heads are, but more refers to their means of interrogating and solving cases, and no matter what criminals come to them, they will confess their crimes in "1510".

Wu Lianshan smiled, "Yes, it's Wu." ”

Zhao Feng sneered, "Wu Zhutou has such a big appetite, can he arrest a dozen of us alone? ”

Wu Lianshan's smile did not change, "You black and black nest fighting, why should the government care, and they don't bother to care, it's a good thing that all of you are fighting and dying." The only people I want to take this time are Wu Ye, Du Bai, Zhang Yima, and Li Jin, these four people are ordinary people, and they have been involved in the important case of the Criminal Department. ”

It is important to know that the characters in the rivers and lakes and green forests are fighting each other for land and trading, and they have always rejected the management of the government. As long as it is done secretly, the government will not take care of it, unless it is a fight in broad daylight on the streets of the city, there will be public people to stop it, but as long as it is not taken down on the spot, most of them will not be filed. However, if people in the rivers and lakes rely on martial arts to do major things that harm the people of good families, it will fundamentally shake the confidence of the people's public order, and the government will inevitably file a case and arrest it, otherwise the grassroots law and order will not be maintained.

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up, "You just need to take the four of them?" He also knew that the government would not care about the rotten things in the Wind and Thunder Hall, but in the past few years, he had been hiding and chasing and killing, and his mood was finally a little panicked.

Wu Lianshan said lightly, "Do you want to wade into troubled waters and accompany them to surround the imperial court?"

Zhao Feng hurriedly shook his head, "Naturally not." ”

Wu Lianshan said, "Since you don't want to cause more trouble, then don't leave quickly." Your Xingzang was also revealed by me, what is the point of staying in Tianqing Mountain Villa?"

Zhao Feng's face changed, "What Wu Zhutou said is that it is really meaningless for Zhao to stay here, so why bother with his mother-in-law." He slung the axe on his shoulders and strode out.

The other people who had participated in the gang fight also dispersed with the same thoughts. There were only five people left in the field at this time, in addition to the four people that Wu Lianshan said he would arrest, there was also an old woman with a dragon head cane and white hair who did not leave.

Wu Lianshan glanced at the old woman, ignored it anymore, and said to Wuye and the others, "Are you going to be caught, or do you want to fight with me?"

The four of them exchanged glances with each other, but they usually didn't communicate, and at this moment, in the face of the imperial court's headhunting, it was difficult to have a tacit understanding of trust and fighting, and each of them revealed that most of them were fleeing.

The monk sighed in his heart, and the governor couldn't do anything, "Amitabha, Master Ji Shaozhuang, the little monk thinks what you said before is very reasonable, and there is no need to recite this Fushou Sutra anymore." With a little feet, his body was already rushing towards the outside of the village.

Anyone who is a thief must do well with light work, which is the first important skill for this profession that everyone shouts and beats. The light power of no leaves is displayed, it is indeed breathtaking, looking at the light and fluttering posture, I am afraid that I can really fly in the fallen leaves.

Just as the monk was about to climb over a wall, a swarthy iron chain suddenly came out of the wall and smashed heavily on the monk's right foot. The monk let out a scream, and his body fell back with a thud.

I saw a young woman in a tolerance uniform climb down the wall, dance the chain in her hand, and smash it on the monk's left foot, and the monk screamed again.

The woman withdrew the chain, and immediately slammed it between the monk's legs, only to hear the monk's cry this time, which was enough to cry ghosts and gods, and it didn't stop for a long time, and everyone who heard it felt frightened.

I only heard the woman say lightly, "This person resisted arrest and couldn't hold his hand." ”

Wu Lianshan coughed, "Don't be alarmed, when the female head catcher catches the yin thief, it will be dealt with like this according to the convention." Breaking two legs is to prevent the thief from escaping, and breaking the third leg is to prevent the thief from doing evil again, which can be said to be the rule of our industry. ”

Ji Hong just took a breath of cool air and nodded vigorously, "I take care of it, don't blame, don't blame." ”

Wu Lianshan said, "This heroine is the head catcher of the city, and she is a colleague of Wu. ”

"Shi Catcher......" Ji Hong reacted quickly, "Could it be that the '1510' God Catcher is talking about the two of you?"

Wu Lianshan said, "These are just false names. ”

Shi Jieliu walked closer with an iron chain, looked at the four people in the field with Wu Lianshan, and frowned, "Brother Wu, didn't you say that there are only four people in total to be arrested?"

Wu Lianshan said, "This old woman is not. ”

Ji Hong thought about it carefully, Wu Lianshan talked about the origin of each person just now, but he didn't introduce this old woman.

Shi Jieliu shouted, "Then let's do it." She was about twenty-four or five years old, her face was full of heroism, and she was also in a hurry when she started to move, and the chain flew out and covered the head of the nearest man.

The other two key offenders, one on the left and one on the right, fled to both sides.

Wu Lianshan smiled, "Can you escape?" His body unfolded, like a big crane chasing after the person who escaped on the left, and the speed was even faster than the leafless monk just now.

The man who escaped to the right looked back, and when he saw Wu Lianshan's figure, he couldn't help but sink his heart. He knew that his light skills were not good, and he would not be able to escape far, thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards Ji Hong, intending to catch this young owner to make a deal with "1510".

Ji Hong was shocked when he saw this, and suddenly remembered that the possessed Young Master Ji had also practiced kung fu for many years, and his foot strength might not be slow, so he immediately prepared to run away.

But he heard a "snort", and the head of a staff pierced through the man's chest.

The white-haired old woman gently handed out a cane, stabbed him to death, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dare to take the initiative against Shaozhuang and look for death." ”

Ji Hong was shocked by this crisp blow and asked, "Mother-in-law, are you ......?"

The old woman shook her hand, "Young farmer, don't ask me where I come from." The old woman offended a very powerful enemy ten years ago, but fortunately the old owner took it in, allowing the old woman to live for another ten years. Now that the old owner is no longer there, if those enemies know the whereabouts of the old woman and come to the village to ask for someone, they will affect the young owner. I should have left a long time ago, but I was ashamed that I was reluctant to suffer from the turbulence on the rivers and lakes again. ”

Ji Hong's heart softened, and he was about to say, mother-in-law, you will always stay. Wu Lianshan had already captured the fugitive he was chasing, returned to his side and said in a deep voice, "Young Zhuang Master, don't be impulsive, this senior's enemy is not something you can take." ”

Wu Lianshan said to the old woman again, "Since the predecessors have received the great favor of the old owner, if you don't go to the stack all the time, so that the young owner has unpredictable risks, it is ungrateful, and the grace will be avenged." ”

The old woman sighed, "What you said is that I also know that I can't live with the young owner if I stay here." Today, Shaozhuang mainly dismissed the guests, and the old woman was also going to leave, so she stayed in the end just to see if there was anyone who was not long-sighted and would make trouble, so that she could take care of him for the young owner. ”

She smiled at this Ji Hong, "Young Zhuang Master, you are already acting very thoughtfully, but you are a little lacking in experience and knowledge, and this is not your fault." The old woman is leaving, you take care, there will be a day when the hidden dragon will fly again in the coming day. ”

As she spoke, her figure had been blown away like a whirlwind, and when she finished the last word, she disappeared from Ji Hong's sight.

Ji Hong thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Wu, if you take down these official felons in my house, am I guilty of harboring?"

Shi Xuanliu had also taken down the last important offender at this time, and said coldly when he heard this, "From a legal point of view, this is indeed the case. ”

Wu Lianshan said with a smile, "Young Zhuang Master, there is a signboard of Tianqingshan Villa, and there will not be any yamen in Nanjing City to enter the door to take people." ”

Ji Hong realized that the power of the martial arts family in this world was extremely great, and he was quite like a Chai official with a Danshu iron coupon, and he must have been a privileged class. It's just that the Danshu iron coupon of Chai Daguan's was given by the emperor, and the Tianzi number signboard of Tianqing Qingzhuang was laid down by force.

He sighed, "After my father died, you didn't do anything, and you didn't come to arrest people until Benzhuang announced his retirement. ”

Wu Lianshan said, "Young Zhuang Master, you are wrong, Tianqing Mountain Villa without Tianzi archway is still a martial arts family, Wu has received the great favor of the old owner, and he will not come to the door to take people." ”

Ji Hong was stunned, "Then what is today?"

Wu Lianshan said with a smile, "Wu heard that the young owner refused to accept guests today, and he was worried that someone would make trouble, so he came over to help the young owner take a look at the field." If those who want to be criminals leave, Wu will arrest them after they leave the village. ”

Ji Hong said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

Shi Jieliu said coldly, "Speaking of which, didn't we still arrest people in Tianqingshan Villa in the end?" After all, she was young, and she always had some dislike in her heart for these martial arts people who were often beyond the management of the government, and there was some ridicule between the words.

Wu Lianshan said, "That's not the case. ”

Ji Hong and Shi Xuanliu were both very strange and asked, "Why not?"

Wu Lianshan said, "Young Zhuang Master, Wu Mou told you before that large families need nursing staff. ”

Ji Hong nodded, "That's right, what's wrong?"

Wu Lianshan said, "You see that Wu is doing a nursing home in Guizhuang, does the young owner think it is qualified?"

Ji Hong was stunned, first surprised and then delighted, "Uncle Wu is willing to help Benzhuang?" ”

Wu Lianshan nodded and said, "So you see, today, the young owner Xie Sanmenke, there are a few guys who make trouble from it, Wu Mou, as a protector, took them down, and found that they were actually important criminals wanted by the government, so they were handed over to Shi Zhutou." ”

Shi Xuanliu sneered, "So you don't want to go into Tianqingshan Villa to get people, you are really careful." Suddenly remembered something, "What, do you really want to be a nurse for this kid here, and not be a head catcher?"

Wu Lianshan said, "I have arrested four felons this time, how can I have a half-year public vacation." He paused, "What's more, now a generation of newcomers in the public gate is better than the old, you are much stronger than me when you are young, Nanjing City will be handed over to you, I can rest assured." ”

Shi Xuanliu was shocked, "You have already made up your mind. Well, it's up to you. ”
