Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shijiazi Town is located fifteen miles away from Zhangjiakou. It was originally a small mountain village. Since the Ming Dynasty started trading with grasslands, it has become more and more prosperous.  The government in Zhangjiakou is very strict, so most of the transactions are formal sales, and smuggling and other transactions are rare.  This situation has become more and more obvious since Longchang Company took control of Zhangjiakou's trade.  Under such circumstances, this town outside Zhangjiakou has become more and more important and prosperous.  Businessmen in Zhangjiakou all know that if they want to buy prohibited items, the first choice place is Ershijiazi Town.  This situation is getting more and more serious, which makes Shijiazi Town increasingly chaotic.  All kinds of people gather here every day, it's bustling and chaotic.  Walking on the streets of Shijiazi Town, you can see people wearing foreign costumes everywhere, including Mongolians, Jurchens, and even Japanese.  The streets are full of men wandering around. These people's clothes are very messy, but everyone will stay away when they see these people, because these are local snakes here.  Although Shijiazi Town is not big, it is controlled by four underground forces. If you want to do business here, the first thing you need to do is to find someone to protect you.  Handing over your own protection fee is called worshiping the dock.  In the very center of the town, there is the largest gambling house called Jian Family Gambling House.  There is a huge flag at the door, and the huge word "Gamble" on it can be seen from a long distance. There are fierce men standing at the door, and everyone has a huge abbreviation on their chest.  ¡°These people don¡¯t seem to think it¡¯s a shame to carry a word on their chest, but instead have a proud look on their face.  There is no contempt in the eyes of people who pass by here, but instead there is deep fear.  Everyone here knows that this Jian's Gambling House, the surrounding Jian's Restaurant and the Yingkelou brothel on the side all belong to one person, and this person is Jian Hu, one of the four bosses.  The Jian family has deep roots here.  With a large number of people, it can be said that it is the most powerful among the four and controls the best area.  Although the other three families always had frictions, they never dared to challenge the authority of the Jian family.  Fortunately, the Jian family never interfered in the affairs of these families and seemed not to want to fight with these people.  A street away from Jianjia Gambling House, there is Liujia Restaurant.  This is a restaurant opened by another leader, known as Liu Wuye.  Although Liu Wuye is not as powerful as the Jian family, he still has hundreds of brothers under his command, most of whom are desperadoes who kill without blinking an eye.  Every day at noon, Mr. Liu Wu will come to his restaurant to eat. This is an unshakable rule.  Businessmen also know that if you want to visit the dock, you should come to visit at this time. Liu Wuye will not see you at other times.  It¡¯s noon this day.  Liu Wuye came to his restaurant as usual, followed by the Four King Kongs, his four most capable brothers.  Each of them has muscles on their body and a fierce look on their face.  He walked up to the second floor with a smile and came to the private room where he cooked every day. He said to the shopkeeper on the side: "Old Zhou, I heard that you have found another cook? He is a good cook. Let him show off his skills today. If  It's really good. The fifth master has a big reward!" "Fifth master, don't worry. I will tell you to go down and let the people below take care of you. Fifth master, please come in. There is a new singer here.  The fifth master called over." The manager bowed and opened the door of the private room with a flattering smile on his face.  While making a gesture of please.  Looking at the attentive shopkeeper, Liu Wuye shook the folding fan in his hand, made an elegant look, and said: "Listen to the tunes, recite poems and have fun. This is also a great joy in life!"  Several people hurriedly flattered him, as if it was a pity that Mr. Liu Wu didn't take the exam for the number one scholar. Mr. Liu looked humble, but his expression looked proud no matter how you looked at it.  While Master Liu Wu was looking up to the sky and laughing, he remembered a voice in the lobby on the second floor. Although it was not loud, it reached everyone's ears clearly.  I heard the man sneer rather disdainfully, and said with a strong sarcasm in his tone: "A bunch of clowns and vulgar people are barking arrogantly here. They really don't know the heights of the world." The entire second floor suddenly became quiet.  No one spoke, no one even breathed, everyone had a dazed look on their face.  Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.  I saw four people sitting at a table near the window, one of whom was an old man, the other two were middle-aged people, and one was a fair-faced young man.  At this time, the white-faced young man was looking at Master Liu Wu with a deep mockery on his face. It was obvious that what he just said was what he said.  After a moment of silence, the upstairs became noisy. A dozen people rushed out from nowhere, all glaring at the young man, but no one came forward, as ifWaiting for Mr. Liu Wu to speak.  His face changed a few times. Master Liu Wu bowed his hands to the people upstairs and said with a smile: "Everyone, there are some private matters that need to be settled here today. Please give Master Wu a face. Please come on! All the expenses for today will be spent."  It¡¯s my Fifth Master¡¯s fault. I¡¯ll treat everyone to a drink next time I come here!¡± When everyone heard what Liu Fifth Master said, they all laughed and left with fists in their hands. Liu Fifth Master is still very particular about doing business?  p> When everyone was gone, Liu Wuye¡¯s face darkened. When he looked at the people left behind, his eyes narrowed.  stand up.  At this time, there were three tables with a total of twelve people here. Obviously these people were all in the same group.  After clasping his fists in front of everyone, Liu Wuye said with a smile: "Everyone, Sir, I wonder if Liu Wu has offended Liu Wu? Although you have made it clear that although Liu Wu is not a hero, he is still a number one here.  !" "Sure enough, since Mr. Liu is so cheerful, we won't hide it. This time we are interested in Mr. Wu's ability and want Mr. Wu to do something for us.  Don't worry, the fifth master will need money!" Just as the young master was about to speak, a middle-aged man on the side already said it first.  Gently shaking the folding fan in his hand, Mr. Liu Wu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile on his face: "You guys are so gentle. Although I, Liu Wu, am not a hero in this three-acre land, I still have some reputations.  . You have lost face to Liu Wu today, and you still want Liu Wu to do something for you? Although money is a good thing, Master Wu is not short of it!" After saying this, Master Liu put down the folding fan in his hand and said loudly.  : "Teach these ignorant things a lesson!" The middle-aged man who just spoke shook his head and smiled, helplessly glanced at the old man beside him, and winked at the people at the other two tables.  The two groups soon fought together, but the four King Kongs behind Liu Wuye did not move, nor did the four people on the table.  However, as soon as they fought, the screams started one after another, and several Liu Wuye fell down.  No one gave me too much time to react. More than a dozen people were already lying on the ground groaning!  Looking at the eight people standing in a row opposite, Liu Wuye shrank his eyes. Although these dozen people are not elites, ordinary people can't deal with them.  Just after they met, they were knocked down by eight people from the other side. It seemed that these eight people were not easy at all!  Glancing at the Four King Kongs beside him, Liu Wuye once again waved the folding fan in his hand and said loudly: "Come on, if you don't teach them a lesson today, how can I, Liu Wuye, hang out on this ground!"  King Kong didn't say anything. He took a few steps forward and rushed towards the eight people, fighting each other again.  This time it seemed to be very laborious, and it took about half a cup of tea to finish. The four Vajras were also lying on the ground groaning, and one of them even fainted.  Seeing this scene, Liu Wuye's face became gloomy and terrifying, and he said in a low voice: "Since you are so powerful, why bother to trouble Liu? You must look down on Liu's wealth, right? What can you say?  Just tell me!" A middle-aged man stood up among the four people who were sitting. He smiled and cupped his hands to Master Liu and said, "Master Liu, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the private room!  " Nodding slowly, Liu Wuye turned around and walked towards Yajian, and the middle-aged man followed behind him with a smile.  When the two people left, the young master on one side frowned slightly, looked at the old man beside him and said, "Father, why are you looking for this Mr. Liu Wu? How can there be such a person in the great cause of the Holy Religion?" "Wei Baice, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, once said  He once said to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty that as long as a minister has a good reputation, there is no need to consider his character. If he has a skill, he must use it.  Looking at the young man, he said.  I don¡¯t know if I understood or not, but the young master nodded and didn¡¯t say anything!  There is a discussion going on here. In the back house of Jian's gambling house not far away, Jian Hu, who is superior to others, is standing there with a low eyebrow.  He has a muscular body and a belt around his waist. He is dressed like a martial arts practitioner.  A scar on his face made Jian Hu look very intimidating. He carried a knife behind his back, but it was hidden in a sheath and could not be seen.  Jian Hu saluted the person who was sitting and said respectfully: "If there is anything you need to do, just tell me. Jian Hu will definitely go there as soon as possible. I wonder if you have anything to trouble your uncle? Are you one of his subordinates?"  Someone has offended uncle?" Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Jian Jiang frowned, looked at his nephew and said: "Jian Hu, you are a big boy, how can you think about how to use swords and guns all day long?  ! Brother, you are the only son, you want to??Big brother is here to receive you, don't let your uncle worry about you every time!  " "My nephew knows!  "Jian Hu stood aside respectfully and said with a low eyebrow.
