Chapter 54, Mirror Mirror, Who is the most powerful person in this town?
Han Feng, who was "not at the right time", finally gave up the idea of pursuing the widow.
Before dawn the next day, they settled the bill and set out early.
They walked very fast again that day, and at lunchtime they rounded a mountain, and by about three or four o'clock in the afternoon they had arrived at a town called "Junshan."
According to Kong Zhang's instructions, after arriving in the town, the first thing they did was to find a restaurant and ask the shopkeeper about the stronger people and organizations in the town, and what rules and taboos they had, so as not to accidentally get into trouble.
It's not dinner yet, the store is not busy, the shopkeeper is quite free, sitting next to them and talking: "Junshan Town is the territory of the Tiankui Gang, and the leader of the Tiankui Gang, He Tiankui, the old man Wu Jin, is the most famous master within a radius of hundreds of miles." Not to mention our area, even if it is a big gang in the county town, they are polite to him and polite to him. ”
Han Feng asked: "Then is there any taboo for this old man He to do things for others?"
"I haven't heard of any taboos in him, and he does things directly, just a request, obedient. ”
Pan Long's eyebrows furrowed and asked, "How do you say this?"
"That's what it means literally. The shopkeeper said, "He doesn't usually come to trouble you, but if he needs to use you for something, then you'd better be obedient." ”
"What if not?" Han Feng asked.
The shopkeeper looked at him and smiled very kindly: "Guest officer, Old Man He is more than one hundred and ten years old this year. ”
"What do you mean?"
The shopkeeper just laughed and didn't explain, but Pan Long understood.
This shows that those who do not listen to him have become dead. He explained to Han Feng, "The people in the rivers and lakes are fierce and fierce, and they often have to draw their swords if they disagree." Old Man He has been able to live until now with this kind of rule, and those who don't follow his rules are naturally dead. ”
Han Feng gasped: "All dead?"
"They should all be dead. ”
"Then he's really powerful!" Han Feng said sincerely, "We can't afford to provoke this kind of ruthless person!"
Pan Long smiled and said, "Why do we mess with him? We are just two ordinary passers-by, and juniors like us are everywhere, and he doesn't even bother to care about us, so how can we have the opportunity to provoke him?"
"Actually, the two guest officers don't have to worry much, Old Man He has been going deep and simple in the past few years, and he has rarely appeared in front of people, let alone trouble with anyone. Now even his disciples and butlers don't move around the market much. The shopkeeper said, "At present, in our Junshan Town, the most unprovoked person is probably the owner of the Black Wolf Village on Dawu Mountain in the north, 'Black-faced Langjun' Han Xiaotian." ”
"He's also surnamed Han?" Han Feng smiled, "That's still my family five hundred years ago." ”
The shopkeeper didn't smile: "This guest officer, don't mention this." Han Zhai hated two things most in his life, one was that others went against his will, and the other was that others were related to him. A few years ago, there was a man surnamed Han, who drank a little wine, and boasted that the ancestors of the surname Han in this area were all the same clan, and he and the owner of Han Zhai were also distant relatives......"
At this, he sighed, and a little fear appeared on his face.
"Killed by the master of Han Zhai?" asked Han Feng.
"What's more!" said the shopkeeper, with a sigh, "his tongue was plucked out, and he was hung upside down from a tree, and he bled to death." ”
Han Feng was taken aback: "Climb his relatives, just let him die like this?"
The shopkeeper nodded heavily.
"This man really can't be provoked!" Pan Long frowned and said, "Fortunately, we came from the north and have already passed his mountain." I guess he shouldn't dare to be presumptuous in this Junshan Town, right?"
"That is, who dares not to give face to Old Man He. The shopkeeper suddenly smiled cheerfully, "If the two guest officers want to continue south, then it's no problem." But if you're planning to spend a few days here, take a walk around the town or head south for a tour of the mountains, not the north. ”
Han Feng frowned, looking a little unconvinced, but after all, he still didn't say anything.
"By the way, apart from Old Man He and Master Han Zhai, are there any other characters in this Junshan Town that can't be provoked?" Pan Long asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "The accents of the two of them are like those from Yongzhou, and they must be extraordinary if they can cross Zhongnan Mountain from Yongzhou." Although there are some other forces in this Junshan town, except for those two, no one else should provoke you. Even if you provoke ......"
He smiled and said, "I guess it's not the opponent of the two." ”
Han Feng laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "You are really a person with vision!
Probably because the force in his hand was a little bigger, the shopkeeper grinned with a grin, and he didn't know whether he was happy or hurt.
Pan Long asked some others, mainly the backstage of the two local bigwigs, and really got some other information.
Old Man He is the leader of the Tiankui Gang, and this gang belongs to the Hairpin Alliance. The black wolf village of the lord of Han Zhai is under the banner of "wearing Lin Tai Sui" Dong Siye, and as for Dong Siye's own direct force, it is naturally the famous "Lin Zhongkou".
Coincidentally, these two superior organizations, Pan Long had heard the news from Kong Zhang's side.
The Hairpin Flower League is a black and white organization in Yizhou, which not only collects protection money, bullies and dominates the market, but also maintains local law and order and arrests bandits. The Hairpin League is composed of dozens of large and small gangs, and the main forces are distributed in the countryside of Yizhou, which can be regarded as a typical lower-class route.
Lin Zhongkou is the most mysterious gang in the green forest of Yizhou, where is the helm and how many people are there...... Everything is a mystery. People only know that they have many masters, a ruthless style, and they like to co-opt bandits from all walks of life. But whoever occupies the mountain is the king, many of them love to play their banner.
There is no leader in the Hairpin Alliance, but whenever there is a major event, it is discussed and decided by the "collegial hall" composed of four real masters. And the representative figure of Lin Zhongkou is "Piercing Lin Tai Sui" Dong Siye, this uncle is also a real grandmaster, and his strength is strong.
In general, if Pan Long and Han Feng really provoked the two local bigwigs, then unless they could kill people and clean things up, they would have to be prepared to make a feud with the Hairpin Flower Alliance or Lin Zhongkou.
With their efforts, they have made a feud with those two big organizations, and it is estimated that they will not survive for a few days.
Of course, with their skills, they may not have to wait for the masters of the two big organizations to come out at all, just Old Man He or the master of Han Zhai is enough for them to go around without eating.
After figuring out the local situation, Pan Long and Han Feng were a little more careful when they were playing in Junshan Town.
They are here to travel the rivers and lakes, not to cause trouble everywhere. So of course they don't go to the north of Junshan Town, except for a few attractions in the town, they just go to a river to the south to play.
The water in that river was shallow, but it was extremely clear and flowed very fast. Getting a bamboo raft and drifting along the current will make you feel like you're going to hit the rocks at the bottom of the river at any moment, but you won't, it's a very amazing experience.
Han Feng drifted so once, he was absolutely amazed, and shouted that he would have to float a few more times and have enough.
Pan Long also felt that this scenery was indeed rare, comparable to the Guilin landscape that he wanted to play in his previous life but never succeeded, so he was happy to accompany him to float a few more times.
Unfortunately, due to the trouble of preparation, this "rafting" project can only be played once a day. Even if they have money, they can't make more bamboo rafts, so they can only talk about it tomorrow.
Pan Long and Han Feng had dinner every morning and walked around the town, and then went to the river to float once, and after the rafting, it was almost noon, so they ate some dry food casually, and then went back to the town and walked around, and it was almost dark.
In this way, they played for three days in a row and had a great time.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, the two went to the restaurant for breakfast again, but saw that the diners in the restaurant were all talking, as if there was something important except for something.
Han Feng beckoned, and the shopkeeper who was already familiar with them came over and whispered, "There's an accident over there in Da Wushan!"
"Something happened?" Han Feng asked in wonder, "Isn't that the territory of the Black Wolf Village? They occupy the mountain as the king, what can happen? There will be no uneven internal strife, the owner of the village slashed all his brothers to death with a knife, and then stuck the knife in the big stone at the door of the village, turning the cottage into an inn, right?"
"Guest officer, what you are talking about is the drama of the 'Taiping Inn'......" The shopkeeper said with a wry smile, "That's a story, it shouldn't be true." ”
"What happened then?" asked Pan Long.
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "The team of the Sun family firm was robbed by the Black Wolf Village on the side of Dawu Mountain. More than thirty people almost died, and only one young martial artist escaped. ”
The indifferent smiles on Pan Long and Han Feng's faces slowly faded, and their eyes gradually widened.
They glanced at each other, and both saw a look of anger in each other's eyes.
Didn't the Sun family firm make room for them that night!
"What's going on?" Pan Long asked solemnly, and at the same time took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this, so he quietly took the silver, lowered his voice and said to them: "The owner of Han Zhai took a fancy to the only young lady of the Sun family a few years ago and wanted to marry her as the wife of the village. But Miss Sun may be afraid of being robbed of her family property, so she is not happy, but instead finds a son-in-law, and the two sides have a feud. ”
"The son-in-law of the Sun family is a sorcerer, his skills are not bad, and the two sides have been safe for three years. A few days ago, the son-in-law of the Sun family fought with a wizard from Yunzhou, and both were defeated, and she gave her life, and Miss Sun was widowed. As a result, when the Sun family's motorcade passed through Dawushan two days ago, the black wolf village blocked their way and asked Miss Sun to go up the mountain to be the wife of the village. ”
Han Feng couldn't help but say: "Shouldn't you love me for such a thing as marriage? Even if he wants to force marriage, he should find the other party's parents and get some parents' orders and matchmakers." There is no reason to stand in the way!"
The shopkeeper sighed: "It's not, but who is the master of Han Zhai? How can he pay attention to this? Miss Sun said that her husband had just died and wanted to keep filial piety for three years, which angered him, and as soon as he gave an order, everyone in the Black Wolf Village was killed with a knife, and the entire caravan became a ghost under the knife except for the martial artist who knew how to do light martial arts. ”
"Miss Sun was also killed?" Han Feng hurriedly asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "According to the martial artist, Miss Sun was arrested and went up the mountain." This time, she has to be the lady of the village. ”
