Chapter Twenty-Nine: Lu Qing's Brothers and Sisters
Since Feng Qingyang chose to live in seclusion and think about crossing the cliff to avoid everyone, Yang Lianting didn't mention it to Yue Buqun, after all, Feng Qingyang belonged to the Sword Sect. If he provoked trouble again because of this, Yue Buqun would definitely not be able to defeat Feng Qingyang, and Yang Lianting did not have any ill feelings towards the Sword Sect, on the contrary, he had been persuading Yue Buqun to strengthen Huashan with the policy of sword first and then qi, so that Huashan could grow his strength the fastest in the shortest time. It's a pity that Yue Buqun categorically refused, and he also punished him heavily for this, and Yang Lianting no longer insisted, the head of Huashan was Yue Buqun and not him.
Yang Lianting has already planned for business, so this time he came to Yanjing in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to do business in Yanjing. In recent years, the royal family and the family of meritorious deeds have intervened in business, and Yang Lianting knows that this is only the beginning, and the situation will become more and more intense after that, from the prince to the lord, the bureaucrats and doctors are all engaged in business, and the bigger the official, the more and more business is done, and the big and small officials flock to do business, and it has become a common practice, and its means are nothing more than three ways: using power to form a monopoly monopoly; oppressing the people, buying cheaply and selling expensively; and wantonly smuggling to obtain huge profits.
If you want to do business in such an environment, you must either be an official yourself, or the officialdom will find a backer to rely on, otherwise you can only set up a stall in Yanjing, and even the stall is not so easy to place.
Yang Lianting naturally won't go down to set up a stall, and he won't cling to anyone casually, these people are like wolves and tigers, and none of them have anything to think about. At present, he does not have the strength to compete with a powerful person like Yanjing, but he knows how to seize the opportunity, and the opportunity is for those who are prepared, and he knows when to have the opportunity.
So he came to step on the point and watch the play.
But I didn't want to hear the name 'Xiao Qi'.
This ordinary name grabbed a lot in the Ming Dynasty. Although Yang Lianting knew that the chance was slim, he would not let go of the slightest possibility, and immediately began to pay attention to these people.
I saw the scholar with clear eyebrows and a far-fetched smile, his eyes were helpless, and he said: "Miss Xiaoqi not only has to take care of the store, but also takes care of her younger brother, so naturally she can't come with us." ”
Yang Lianting said in his heart: "Brother?"
"Brother, do you like Little Seventh Sister?" the girl asked suddenly, her eyes full of sly smiles.
Hearing this, the scholar's body and mind trembled, his face turned slightly red, and he shouted: "Zijin, don't talk nonsense, being a brother and a little seventh girl are just simple friends." ”
It turns out that this beautiful girl is called Zijin. I saw that she seemed to be smiling, looking at the scholar suspiciously, and he was so uncomfortable.
"Actually, the little seventh sister is quite good, showing off her wisdom. Zijin smiled, then frowned, and said, "It's a pity that the second uncle and the second aunt are they..."
At this time, Yang Lianting happened to be walking towards them, and he raised his head to drink as he walked, but his mind was paying attention to these people. When they passed by, the scholar and the girl Zijin also looked at Yang Lianting and asked about the strong smell of wine, the girl Zijin frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Drunkard." ”
The scholar beside her didn't hear this muttering, but Yang Lianting, who had amazing ears, heard it, so he stopped, and although the two outer disciples of the Huashan Sect behind him were puzzled, they still stopped with him.
Yang Lianting turned her head sideways and looked at the girl Zijin with a smile and a word.
The expressions of the entourage bodyguards beside the three scholars changed, and they suddenly took a step forward, beware of Yang Lianting and the three of them.
"This brother, what do you have to do?" the scholar stepped forward and said politely.
Yang Lianting smiled at the scholar, nodded, glanced at the girl Zijin again, and said, "Right and wrong just to talk more! ”
Hearing this, the scholar looked at the girl Zijin suspiciously.
The girl's face was slightly red, her eyes widened, and her voice was crisp: "Who said bad things about people behind your back?" You haven't turned your back on me yet, and if I haven't said anything bad about you, I'll say something drunkard." And he didn't name anyone. ”
"Brother Tai, I'm sorry, my sister is not more troublesome, please bear with me if I offend. As soon as the scholar heard the girl's words, he knew that his sister had offended others, and immediately apologized to Yang Lianting, both frank and unrestrained, neither humble nor arrogant.
Seeing that his eyes were clear and clear, without a trace of far-fetched falsification, Yang Lianting couldn't help but have a good impression of this scholar, he was not a narrow-minded person, so naturally he would not be angry because of the girl's words, just because the name 'Xiao Qi' made Yang Lianting interested in these people, so he took the opportunity to act, but he also felt that it was probably the same name.
Yang Lianting smiled slightly, tied the wine pot to his waist, bowed his hand back, and asked: "Tong Yan Wuji! Listen to the accent of Brother Tai, but Luoyang people?" Yang Lianting has been to Luoyang in the past year, so he can hear the accent of a scholar.
The scholar nodded and arched his hand: "Exactly, Xiaosheng's surname is Lu, his name is clear, and his character is quiet." He introduced the two younger sisters and said, "They are my cousins, Zijin and Qingqing." ”
It turned out that the scholar was Lu Qing, and Zijin and Qingqing were his cousins, but his uncle and his wife unfortunately died in a flood a few years ago, and the two cousins have been raised by his family as if they were their own children.
"Qingqing Zijin?" Yang Lianting said in his heart, and then arched his hand and said concisely: "Yang Le, the word Lianting." ”
"Yang Le, Yang Lianting?" Lu Qing repeated in his heart, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
At this time, the bodyguard behind Lu Qing looked moved, and said in surprise: "Shaoxia, but Yang Le, the second disciple of the Huashan faction, Yang Shaoxia?"
"It's indeed Yang Le, the second disciple of the Huashan Sect, do you know me?" Yang Lianting nodded.
The entourage said happily: "It turned out to be really Yang Shaoxia, in Xia Luhua, a disciple of the Zhengzhou [***] sect, Yang Shaoxia got rid of the giant thief Yang Qing a year ago, and four months ago he was alone to pick up the Black Tiger Village, not only to remove an evil for the rivers and lakes, but also to distribute the ill-gotten wealth to the neighboring people who were oppressed by it. Lu Hua was fortunate to hear Yang Shaoxia's chivalrous name not long ago. ”
Hearing this, the Lu Qing brothers and sisters looked at Yang Lianting strangely.
"It's over. Yang Lianting said calmly, and then looked at Zijin and said: "Little girl, trouble comes from your mouth, and you are so beautiful, be careful that there are bad people who see something wrong and are taken captive." ”
Zijin was noncommittal, straightened his small chest, and said proudly: "This is the capital, at the foot of the world, who dares to rob the people's daughters?"
Yang Lianting smiled and said silently, and said in his heart: "Those imperial relatives dare to cut in, let alone rob people?"
And it just so happened that not long after Zijin's voice fell, suddenly there were bursts of horses' hooves, footsteps and noise.
"Beat, beat me hard! Anyone from the Zhou family will beat me to death!"
There were more than 80 people in this group.
The doors and windows of the nearby shops were suddenly closed, and the owners of the stalls even threw down their stalls and left in a hurry.
"Brothers, rush! If something happens, Chang Ningbo will bear it!"
After a while, another group of people appeared on the other side of the street, about sixty or seventy people.
"It's time for the show. Yang Lianting said in his heart, he knew that these two people were the people of his relatives Changning Bo Zhou Yu and Shouning Hou Zhang Heling, because of their personal interests, the two families were in dispute, and this gathering of people to fight will shake the Jingshi tonight. He turned his head and looked at Zijin playfully, and said with a smile: "Little girl, believe it now, right? There are still lawbreakers in the world who dare to take risks." ”
Zijin looked at Lu Qing and hurriedly said, "Brother, let's get out of here quickly." ”
They are in the middle of the two gangs, and if they don't leave, they will hurt the pond fish.
Hearing this, Lu Qing looked at Yang Lianting and said, "Brother Yang, it seems that we have to move." I don't know if Brother Yang is willing to go along?" Lu Qing had a friendship with Yang Lianting after listening to Lu Hua tell him about Yang Lianting's chivalrous deeds.
Yang Lianting nodded and said, "Brother Lu, please!"
A few people pulled out of the street that was about to become a battlefield, and after a while, when they walked to the door of a restaurant, Yang Lianting stopped, and forcibly kicked open the closed door of the restaurant under the puzzled eyes of everyone.
"Brother Yang, you?" Lu Qing wondered.
In the restaurant, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward and said, "Ouch... What are you?"
Yang Lianting took out a silver ingot and put it in front of Xiao Er, and asked, "Is there a seat on the second floor?"
"Yes, yes, guest officer, please!" At this time, the shopkeeper stepped forward to greet enthusiastically, he has been doing business in the capital for more than ten years, and his ability to look at the face and color is not bad. ordered Xiao Er to close the door, and led Yang Lianting and the others to the second floor.
Yang Lianting and Lu Qing's brothers and sisters walked to the second floor, condescending, and they could just see the two gangs of people fighting not far below.
