Lin Yuanqing didn't sleep much all night, and kept thinking about how he could make money, and finally admitted that begging was the fastest way to get money.

Early the next morning, he came to the place where he had been chatting with the beggar yesterday and waited for him, and it was not until the third day of the day, when it was almost noon, that the beggar of yesterday yawned and walked away without waking up.

Lin Yuanqing hurriedly stepped up and said, "Big brother, why are you here now? I've been waiting for you all morning." ”

The beggar squinted his eyes and looked up and yawned, and said lazily: "You don't understand this, have you ever seen a rich man wandering the streets early in the morning?"

"That's it, I've been taught, and I don't know my eldest brother's surname?"

"You still speak in a literary manner, your brother is welcome, my surname is Yuan San. ”

"Hello Brother Yuan, my name is Lin Yuan... Lin II. Lin Yuanqing suddenly thought of what Hong Er said, and hurriedly changed his words.

Yuan San nodded, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first, and I'll take you to see the elder after eating." ”

Lin Yuanqing asked strangely: "Where to eat? ”

Yuan San smiled mysteriously and said proudly: "Anyway, we are members of the largest gang in the world, how can we really squat on the street like a beggar and eat those cold meals and dishes? With that, he pulled Lin Yuanqing and walked forward.

Passing by a street corner, Yuan San took him to stand at the door of an inn, Lin Yuanqing asked curiously: "Brother Yuan, can you let us in to eat here?" ”

Yuan San patted him on the back and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just follow me in." ”

After Lin Yuanqing followed Yuan San in, he found that the inn lobby was already bustling with people, and after a closer look, the people here were all ragged, and they were all beggars.

Yuan San pulled him to take a big bowl in a frame, and then walked straight into the kitchen of the inn, there was no one in the kitchen, but there were two large pots on the board, one pot was vegetables, and the other pot was rice.

Lin Yuanqing relieved himself from his surprise at this time, and also filled himself with a big bowl of rice, after the two went out, they found a bench and sat down and began to eat, because they hadn't eaten a meal with oil stars for several days, the first bite of the dish was mixed with fragrant rice, and the familiar and pleasant taste exploded in his mouth, and there was even diced meat!

This made Lin Yuanqing almost cry, this store is so conscientious, if there is a person who claims to be the owner of the store and asks him to work long hours in front of him, he will not hesitate to agree.

Seeing him gobbling up, Yuan San stopped the chopsticks in his hand and reminded him embarrassedly: "Pay attention to your eating appearance, starve to death and reincarnate?"

Lin Yuanqing's mouth was stuffed with food, his face was full of smirks, and he whimpered and said: "Brother Yuan, I'm so hungry! I can't control it! Is the owner of this shop a living bodhisattva? Actually providing food for so many beggars, look! There is even shredded meat in this dish!" After speaking, he quietly wiped two tears of happiness from the corners of his eyes.

Yuan San smiled disdainfully after hearing this: "This bowl of rice moved you? Hurry up and eat, let's leave after eating." ”

Soon the two finished eating, and on the way, Lin Yuanqing asked Yuan San what was going on at the inn just now?

"This inn is a canteen specially set up by the beggar gang for the disciples in the gang, as long as the beggars in the town can come here to eat, not only that, there are bedrooms on the second floor, but these bedrooms are provided for some high-level disciples, we don't have that blessing." Yuan San said unhurriedly.

"It seems that the treatment of the beggar gang disciples is not bad. Lin Yuanqing thought to himself.

Yuan San took him to the door of a big mansion, a plaque was hung above the red lacquered wooden door, and the two golden characters of "Fangfu" were dazzling as if gilded under the sun.

After entering the door, the two passed through a long corridor, the walls of the corridor were full of murals, including the flying of the Xuannu, the landscape of the landscape, the horses and tigers, etc., these murals that did not match each other can be called a good painting by picking out an element at random, but combining these different elements together makes the viewer have some indescribable feelings, as if he should have exhaled a breath, but at this time he had a breath inhaled, which made Lin Yuanqing very uncomfortable after seeing the murals.

He turned his head to look at the other side, and there was a clear pond in sight, and in the distance stood a huge rockery in the water, accounting for half of the entire pool, surrounded by a piece of emerald green lotus leaves, and a few carp swimming leisurely in the water, Lin Yuanqing thought to himself, this pool water feature is not bad.

But in the next second, a few ducks rushed out of the rockery and lotus leaf bushes, flapping their wings to chase the carp in the water, and the pond was very lively for a while.

Lin Yuanqing was also stunned, although he had never entered a house with a garden in the mansion, but there would always be people around him who had worked in the mansion, and the owners of the mansion had different interests, including those who raised birds, cats and dogs, and fish in the house, and even heard that the richest man in the city also raised a big white tiger.

"Rich people have weird tastes, but they've really seen a lot. Lin Yuanqing thought.

Yuan San also noticed his expression, tugged at his clothes vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Don't look at it, it's important to get down to business." ”

Then the two came to the entrance of the main hall, and then a person came out of the house, this person was five short figures, with a round face and a white complexion, and what did not match it was the two small goatees on the side of his mouth, which made him have a little treacherous feeling, his body was slightly round, and he was wearing a dark blue satin gown, but due to his figure, his stomach was like a pregnant woman who was six months pregnant, and he was wearing a dark blue melon skin hat with a very small size on his head, and his legs were tightly together, and the whole person stood in front of Yuan San and them like a huge blue jujube core.

When Yuan San saw him, he immediately leaned over and said, "Hehe, Steward Fang, Elder Fang is still sleeping?"

The person known as Fang Steward seemed to hate Yuan San a little, frowned, moved two steps back, coughed twice after pulling a distance, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I've said it several times, the master ordered him to call him 'Fang Yuanwai' in the future, why can't you remember?"

"Oh oh, look at my brain, I won't be wrong next time. Yuan San took two steps forward with a flattering smile on his face.

"Well, if you make a mistake next time, you will be directly removed from the beggar gang. Steward Fang shook his hand in front of him with a fist, took two steps back, and continued: "The master just fell asleep, don't make a loud noise, I still have something to do, you wait here." After saying that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked away quickly.

Yuan San took Lin Yuanqing to stand at the foot of the steps at the door of the house and waited quietly, Lin Yuanqing asked in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, this is the elder of the beggar gang outside the party? ”

"Well, outside the Fang Yuan is the Eight Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang, except for the three Nine Bag Elders, the 'Deputy Gang Leader and the Gang Leader, he has the highest status, and his status is beyond the reach of ordinary gangs, so he will naturally have his own house and industry, this is what I told you before, as long as he climbs to a certain position in the gang, he will naturally have a lot of silver to earn. ”

"So we can become eight or even nine bags of elders?"

"Why are you daydreaming? Do you think that everyone can be an elder? That is a person who has to make outstanding contributions to the gang, and he must be recommended by a respected senior in China and Germany in order to participate in the elder election, and this may not be elected, every time there is a sea of people who want to run for elder, but the position of the elder is just that, and it is naturally a bloody battle. ”

"Then Elder Fang... Fang Yuanwai is very powerful, isn't it?"

"Of course, we can do things under the hands of Fang Wai, that is a blessing, and in the future, if Fang Wai is promoted, we will also follow suit. Yuan San said wistfully.

Time passed slowly in the two people's questions and answers, until their stomachs "growled", and at this time, the door of the house opened, and a family member came out of it and said to the two: "The master has passed on, please come with me." ”

The two followed the family through a hall and came to a larger room, where there was a large table, which was filled with a variety of dazzling meals, and the room was filled with the smell of rice, and there was a person sitting on the main seat, this person's appearance looked a little similar to the previous steward, the difference was that this person was dressed in a pure white robe, and his age seemed to be slightly older than the steward, the most important thing was that his figure was rounder, like a leather ball, and a circle of female dependents sat around the table, and all of them were above average.

At this moment, he looked at the two people in the hall expressionlessly, Yuan San had a flattering smile on his face, pulled Lin Yuanqing and took two steps forward, and said in his mouth: "Outside the Fang Yuan... ”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Yuan's outer nose let out a "hmm?!", Yuan San immediately understood, pulled Lin Yuanqing back two more steps, and stood with his head down.

Fang Yuanwai let out a long "um", picked up a piece of fish, chewed it slowly, chewed it for a long time before swallowing, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, his huge nostrils towards Yuan Lin and the others, and said slowly: "Yuan San, this is the newcomer you are talking about?"

"Yes. ”

"What's your name, boy?"

"Lin Er. Lin Yuanqing only had a very high status outside the Taoist side, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied.

"Is it from Anxi Town?"

"I was originally a foreigner, but this time I came to visit relatives, and when I passed through this place, I accidentally left my coils behind, so I came to be a beggar. ”

"Oh, what's the proof?" Fang Yuanwai squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Lin Yuanqing tightly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

"Uh... Yes, please take a look at this. When Lin Yuanqing heard her say this, he thought about whether to tell him the truth, but Fang Yuanwai showed an extremely contemptuous attitude towards the two of them, which made him want to continue to hide it, so he thought of the short knife that the master gave him, and there was a small Tang character at the bottom of the handle.

He took down the short knife tied behind his waist that resembled a burning stick, held it to his chest with both hands, Fang Yuanwai frowned and glanced at it, raised his hand and waved, Steward Fang, who was standing beside him, walked up to Lin Yuanqing, and also frowned and looked at the "burning stick" in front of him, Lin Yuanqing did not clean up the mud on the outside of the scabbard, because if a beggar held a short knife in his hand, wouldn't he have to be dragged to the official in minutes.

Steward Fang's hand hung on the short knife, and he wanted to pick up the short knife several times, but he hesitated, until Fang Yuanwai snorted impatiently, Fang Steward grabbed the short knife as if he had made up his mind, and walked to Fang Yuanwai's side, and Fang Yuanwai picked up a square towel to cover his mouth and nose, glanced at the short knife, and threw a puzzled look at Lin Yuanqing.

Lin Yuanqing hurriedly explained: "Oh, outside the staff, this is a short knife, produced in the Bashu Tang Sect, I am also from Bashu, you can check it carefully, there is a small Tang character at the bottom of the handle." ”

After hearing this, Steward Fang gently pulled out the short knife, although Lin Yuanqing did not clean the scabbard, but he often maintained the blade, so after the blade was pulled out, a cold light flashed, and the people around him let out an exclamation, telling the people who were watching it that this was a good knife, and the Tang character was also deeply imprinted

Fang Yuanwai's eyes immediately became alert, and he was also full of hostility, and said sharply: "You are from the Tang Sect?!"

"The staff misunderstood, the Tang Sect built a large number of weapons, and after the internal disciples were assembled, there were still a lot of weapons left, so the Tang Sect sold these weapons to the local people, and this was also the first time I went far away, so I brought a knife to defend myself, and I could also pretend to be a disciple of the Tang Sect at a critical moment to save the day. Lin Yuanqing was also extremely puzzled when he saw Fang Yuanwai's expression, but he faintly felt that he was fortunate not to tell the truth, so he said with a smile.

Fang Yuan's expression relaxed slightly after hearing this, and then asked, "Do you know martial arts?"

"Don't hide it, boy, when I was a child, I learned a few martial arts from the disciples of the Tang Sect who often went out, and it was okay to fight normally, but I would never dare to say that I knew martial arts. ”

After hearing this, Fang Yuanwai made a color to the steward Fang, and the latter immediately understood, all this naturally couldn't escape Lin Yuanqing's eyes, but he didn't understand what it meant, he saw Fang Steward walking up to him with a short knife, throwing the short knife back to him, and then said loudly: "Fang Yuanwai is feeling a little unwell today, you two go back, and come back tomorrow morning." ”

Yuan Lin and the others were also puzzled, but they couldn't say anything, so they could only bow and exit the door.

Yuan San said to himself puzzled: "There's no reason, it doesn't take much time to register, what's wrong with Fang Yuanwai today?"

Lin Yuanqing was also puzzled, Fang Yuanwai's performance just now made him think that there was something wrong with this person, but he had no experience in these things when he first entered the rivers and lakes, so he didn't think much about it, and then the two went back to the inn at noon to eat.

At this time, it was getting late, the beggars had already finished eating and went back to sleep, only some leftovers were left, the two of them had eaten and sat down before they had eaten a few bites, and a few beggars stood beside them, Yuan San looked up and saw each other's faces, stood up and said menacingly: "What's the matter? Want to stir up trouble? This is a canteen!"

A beggar he faced sneered and said, "The surname Yuan, don't just call, I heard that you have a new little brother, and you came to take a look." After speaking, he stared at Lin Yuanqing.

Lin Yuanqing was also a little nervous at this time, he didn't know what the other party was coming from when he first came to the beggar gang, it seemed that he didn't deal with Yuan San, it seemed that he was here to stir up trouble, he was a nobody, it was better not to talk to him, so he ignored the other party's gaze and buried his head in eating.

The leading beggar saw that Lin Yuanqing ignored him, and his voice immediately raised, and said, "Ouch, this kid looks white and pure, not like a beggar, can't he have some purpose to sneak into our beggar gang?"

Yuan Sanyi pushed him away and said, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you mad dog, hurry up!"

The man was pushed, immediately changed his face, and scolded: "!" and pounced on Yuan San, the two scuffled, and several people behind him also rushed up, but the target was Lin Yuanqing.

Lin Yuanqing was also surprised to see Yuan San fighting with that person, thinking that he hadn't said a word yet, he began to move, and was thinking about whether he should go up to help Yuan San, when he saw several other people rushing towards him, he was even more surprised, and after dodging, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the door of the inn, and the figure was shaped like a date pit.

He was naturally a smart man, and instantly understood why these beggars came up to stir up trouble, "It turns out that the target is me, but why do they want to try me? Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqing pretended to fall, sighed, and put the bowl on the face of the beggar in front of him, while he rolled around on the ground to avoid the kicks that fell like raindrops.

took advantage of the time to see that Fang Yuanwai was still observing at the door, thinking "Do a full set of plays, endure it!", gritted his teeth, and didn't roll, his luck was all over his body, and he planned to resist the attack, but who knew that those people seemed to be menacing, but all of them were people who didn't know martial arts, and the attack was also chaotic, and Lin Yuanqing inadvertently swallowed the flesh and blood of the giant sturgeon, and his internal strength was also improved. Twist his body, for a long time, he will be tired enough.

Later, he simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dizzy, and those people kicked for a while and found that Lin Yuanqing had no reaction, so they pulled up the beggar who was still trembling with Yuan San, and several people ran out.

Yuan San wiped the blood from his mouth fiercely, pointed to the door and scolded: "The surname Shao, you wait for me, dare to make trouble in the cafeteria, Fang Yuanwai will not let you go!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked over to check on Lin Yuanqing's situation.

Seeing him faint, Yuan San was scared enough, pinching people again, and slapping his mouth, Lin Yuanqing was crying bitterly at the moment, he couldn't see if Steward Fang had left with his eyes closed, and he didn't dare to wake up immediately, so he could only bear it stubbornly.

Yuan San was also anxious at the moment, he didn't see him wake up after slapping his mouth a few times, he took a deep breath, raised his arm high, riveted his strength, and slapped Lin Yuanqing in the face with a round arm, and shouted "Ah!" and "Bang!" in his mouth.

Yuan San's slap can be said to have made him eat hard, even if Lin Yuanqing's internal strength is high, it is impossible to protect his face, after receiving this slap, he only felt that the right side of his face was like a fire, and many bright white stars suddenly appeared in the dark, and the world fell silent, forgetting who he was, where he was, and what he was doing for a moment, the next second he opened his eyes suddenly, stopped Yuan San who raised his arms in time, and asked him what happened, and then held his hand tightly to express his gratitude.

The next day, the two of them stood in front of Fang Yuanwai again, Fang Yuanwai looked at the swollen place on Lin Yuanqing's face with a smile, and said kindly: "Lin Er, for the sake of your desire to join my beggar gang so much, I will make an exception to accept you as a bag of disciples of the beggar gang." Then Lin Yuanqing's information was recorded on a roster.

After finishing the matter, he said: "In the future, you will be under the management of Yuan San, he will be your boss, and eighty percent of the amount of money you get every day must be handed over to him, and the rest will be kept by yourself." ”

Lin Yuanqing was surprised when he heard this: "Only two percent?"

Fang Yuanwai changed his smiling expression and snorted coldly: "Yuan San, take him out, and you will tell him the rest of the gang rules." ”

Yuan San hurriedly answered, and pulled Lin Yuanqing out of the Fang Mansion.

As soon as he walked out, Lin Yuanqing said indignantly: "Why do you want to hand over eighty percent? Isn't this a money grab!"

Yuan San pulled him all the way to trot, and after running out for a long distance, Yuan San turned back to him and said: "Let me tell you, this eighty percent is useful, do you think that every day you eat for free? ”

"Then what are you doing with fifty percent?"

"Twenty percent is the help fee, and every month the help fee for each disciple is calculated by the party members, that is, the money deducted every day is uniformly handed over to the gang, so that the gang will recognize that you are a disciple of the beggar gang, and if something happens to you, the gang will settle it for you. ”

"There are still 20% to be given to Fang Yuan, after all, our beggar gang disciples are all covered by Fang Yuan, and they must be given to him a little. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lin Yuanqing and smiled, and whispered: "I know you will definitely ask where Yicheng has gone, right?"

Lin Yuanqing nodded suspiciously.

"Hehe, the last achievement needs to be introduced to you, that is, to be given to me. ”

"What?!"

"Oh, don't get excited, don't get excited, listen to me tell you slowly, money is not saved, it is earned, but you have also seen that there is not much money earned by begging alone, and at this time the introducer is useful, and the fees in the gang have to be paid every month, right?"

"Well, didn't you just say that?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you see my brain, but everyone needs to hand over eighty percent of the begging, including Fang Yuan, but why is he so rich? is because he used to be an introducer, and there are a lot of disciples under his hands who were introduced by him, including his relatives and friends who are far away. ”

"Ah, Fang Yuanwai is not a local?"

"Of course not, people are the Luoyang beggar gang rudder, originally there were no beggar gangs in Anxi Town, everyone is asking for their own money, it's very chaotic, after the Fang members came out, all the beggars were accepted into beggar gang disciples, and they also called relatives and friends far away in Luoyang to be beggars, and slowly reached the current level, originally he was just a nine-bag disciple, and when the gang saw him make such a contribution, they promoted him to an eight-bag elder, how about it, amazing?" Yuan San began to show longing in his eyes as he spoke.

He saw that Lin Yuanqing didn't seem to understand, and said: "Look at you, don't you understand, this is the difference between you and Fang Yuanwai, that's why he can live in a mansion, and you can only live in a small broken temple, let me give you an example, if you have ten disciples under your hands now, and each of you can get ten cents a day, how much can you get a day?"

"Ten ... Ten Wen?"

"It's not too stupid, but besides, how much can you get in a month?"

"Three hundred wen?"

"That's right, the more disciples you have, the more you will take, and then you won't have to go out to beg and earn money while lying at home. ”

"Awesome... Awesome!" Lin Yuanqing only understood this meaning at this moment, although he always felt that something was wrong, but the excitement of making money made him forget all about it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Fang Yuanwai is really amazing! Such a clever method can come up with!"

Yuan San put his arms on his shoulders proudly and said, "You still have a lot to learn, go, I'm happy today, please go drink." ”

So the two of them happily walked to the tavern.
