Among the seven provinces of the Murong Dynasty, Shuiyun Province is considered a relatively small province. WWw,QuANbEn-XiAoShUo,CoM
Shuiyun Province deserves to have the word "water". In this province, rivers extend in all directions, with the Yangtze River running through it. This also led to the development of Shuiyun Province, so although its area is small, the income of the people is quite generous.
The snow in the south was thin and soon turned into nothingness. In mid-March, spring has arrived, and the weather is quickly getting warmer. Tengyunzhou, which is close to the river and eats from the river, soon became lively.
In the early morning, the mist filled the air, and it was a bit blurry to see people, but the shouts in the town kept coming and going. As far as the eye can see here, a street is full of fishermen selling fresh fish, and most of them are women.
Many people passed by and asked in front of their favorite sellers. Most of them asked questions such as "How much does it cost per pound?" and shrewd. They will praise their fish and shrimps for being fresh and alive. Then he stomped on the sky and said that his fish was cheap. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a regular customer or had a good relationship, he wouldn't sell it at a loss like this.
So, even though they knew that what they said was not true, except for a few fools, most people happily took out the copper coins in their pockets, and then went home carrying their own fish.
And those women who have been suffering from losses for a year will smile brightly and look for the next person.
Of course, these are just small businesses without regular customers. Generally, for larger businesses, several families on the riverside deliver their fish to a familiar restaurant or inn, and then get back the hard-earned money that has been withheld. Generally, these men will find a tavern first, have a few drinks, chat with acquaintances, and then buy some things needed by the women and children at home.
"Linjiang Restaurant" is a restaurant whose name is completely inconsistent with its essence. From the name, I thought it was a very grand and high-end restaurant, but it was not the case. This "Linjiang Building" is not big, and the decoration is relatively simple, but it is clean and neat. The shopkeeper of this shop is an old man in this town. He has a wide circle of people and many acquaintances, so the business of "Linjiang Tower" is quite good.
It’s natural to eat river food when you come to the riverside. Spring has just begun, which is when fish in the river are active.
"Ah Shui, there are a lot of fish today?! Nuo, here you go." The shopkeeper of Linjiang Tower stood outside the door, took out the broken silver from his arms and handed it to Xiao Shui.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, you gave me too much. I can't get the fish for more than two taels." Xiao Shui wiped his hands vigorously on his body and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou in surprise. The sweat on the faces of the men behind him gave off a different kind of brilliance in the sunlight.
"Isn't your woman pregnant? Buy her some food and supplements. I'd like to treat her as an old man." Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Xiao Shui with admiration. He had watched this boy grow up since he was a child. He had a simple temperament and the fish he brought were all fat and big, which brought a lot of business to his restaurant.
"Brother Shui, shopkeeper Zhou is kind enough to accept it. We're just going to buy some chicken to replenish my sister-in-law's health." The man behind saw that Xiao Shui was still a little embarrassed on his face and said persuadingly.
In fact, they also had their own plans. There were four of them, and Ah Shui always got 40% of the money, and each of the three of them got 20%. This was not because Ah Shui bullied them, but mainly because the fishing boats and tools belonged to Ah Shui, and Ah Shui's skills were also good. This time there was more silver, so naturally they could divide it more.
"Thank you then, Shopkeeper Zhou." Ah Shui smiled honestly, turned to the three brothers behind him and shouted, "Let's go to my uncle's place for a few drinks!"
The four teenagers cheered and walked forward, but were unexpectedly blocked by a group of people.
"Brother, it's blocking the road."
The man in the back is pulling the water, he is not a good person.
The group of people blocking the road obviously thought of themselves as one person, and the boys behind them all had evil smiles on their faces, and the sticks in their hands kept shaking. The guy in the lead was wearing a cotton coat and had an oily temperament. At first glance, he was not a good person.
He tilted his body and shook his legs and said, "Ah Shui, right? I heard that you are the best at fishing in this area. You have made a lot of money, right?"
Ah Shui didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit for a while, so he said warily: "I'm Ah Shui, what's the matter?"
The ruffian winked at the brother behind him, whistled and said, "Nothing's wrong. You're making money in our 'Yangtze Gang' territory. No matter what, you have to help the brothers!"
Now, if you can't understand what this ruffian means, you are a fool. Ah Shui hesitated a little and looked at each other with the three brothers beside him. What they work hard to earn every day is their hard-earned money, how can they give it to others? But they have also heard that the "Yangtze River Gang" is very powerful in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. If they offend them, they will not want to fish in the future.
After thinking for a while, Ah Shui gritted his teeth and said, "How much do you want?"
The ruffian laughed, patted Ah Shui on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I like it. You eat fish and I drink soup. Brother, I don't want much. I only get 30% profit every time. How about it?"
"Thirty percent?! You might as well go and grab it!" A young man behind Ah Shui shouted. 30% profit, this is too dark. They work from dawn to dusk and only have enough to feed the family every day. If they take away 30% of the profit, the family will have to live in a pinch.
Ah Shui thought of his mother-in-law at home and his growing child, and shook his head.
The ruffian's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said with a sneer: "Ah Shui, don't toast and you'll have to drink as a fine!" He waved his hand, and the boys behind him all waved their sticks.
"Brother Shui, fight with them!" A young man behind him yelled and looked at Ah Shui and said.
Before Ah Shui could make a decision, the ruffian made the decision for him first: "Brothers, if they don't give us Yangtze Gang face, then don't be polite."
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Although these four fishermen were all powerful, they suffered from the small number of people and the lack of weapons. They were quickly beaten by the dozen gangsters and were unable to fight back. However, these four people were tough and remained silent under such circumstances.
Many people around were watching from a distance, but no one came forward to help. A few who were very close packed up their belongings and ran away, and then pointed with others with "sympathetic" expressions.
"Get out." A deep voice sounded, without waiting for a trace of warmth.
The ruffian looked at the source of the sound, feeling a little shocked. When did this man in black appear
The person who came was dressed in black, with a dark complexion and a thin scar on his forehead. He looked to be in his twenties, and the look he looked at the ruffian was like a sharp knife, which made the ruffian shiver and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
The younger brother behind him supported him, and the ruffian calmed down and cursed: "Boy, stop meddling in other people's business, or I'll beat you up too!"
The man in black didn't speak, he lowered his head gently and let out a long sigh.
Suddenly the ruffian's eyes dazzled, and the figure of the man in black disappeared. Just as he was wondering, the boys next to him let out pitiful wails.
In the mist, a black shadow flashed between the ruffians like lightning in summer. Everywhere he passed, he heard several screams, and then several "pops", and several people curled up and wailed on the ground.
A breeze blew by, and the man in black "floated" in front of the ruffian, frightening him to take two steps back.
"You're the only one left."
Only then did the ruffian realize in horror that all the younger brothers had been knocked to the ground, leaving him alone.
Seeing the man in black walking in step by step, he swallowed hard and shouted with an inner voice: "Don't come here, don't come here! Let me tell you, I am a member of the 'Yangtze Gang'. If you offend me, you will Wait to die!"
The man in black grinned, revealing his white teeth. He smiled coldly, flicked his right hand as if brushing off mosquitoes, and heard the ruffian let out a painful howl and fell two feet away.
"It turns out that the Yangtze Gang is all cowards like you. It's better to be famous than to meet!" The man in black said these words disdainfully, glanced at Xiao Shui who was grinning, and turned around to leave.
"Brother, wait a minute! Not all of us in the Yangtze Gang are cowards." A clear shout came, causing the man in black to stop.
The crowd automatically made a way, and a lean young man strode over. His handsome features were visible, but there was a tough look on his face that made people dare not underestimate him.
He walked over with a smile, cupped his hands towards the man in black, and said, "I'm Xiaotian from the Yangtze River Gang. I wonder who your brother is?"
The man in black showed a weird smile. He looked at Xiaotian and said mockingly: "What? After beating the little fish and shrimp, the big fish comes out to take revenge? This is how the Yangtze Gang acts!"
Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, showed a wry smile and said, "Brother, I misunderstood."
He turned around and looked at the ruffian, glanced at his sleeves, his face changed, and he shouted sternly: "Which branch are you from? You don't even have a gang badge, and you dare to bully ordinary people here? You forgot about the gang? Is it regulated?”
He looked to be in his early twenties, but there was no immature look on his face. He was obviously not an ordinary character. Looking at the look on his face when he shouted fiercely, he had a vague air of a general, which made the man in black nod secretly.
The ruffian suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life. I, I, I am not from the Yangtze Gang, spare my life, spare my life!"
Xiaotian snorted coldly, kicked the ruffian aside, turned to the man in black and clasped his fists, saying: "Brother, it turns out that this person is pretending to be a member of our Yangtze Gang. It's really a misunderstanding."
He then said loudly to the bystanders around him: "Fellow fellow villagers, our Yangtze River Gang has always worked for the welfare of our fellow villagers, and we will never do such things that threaten to make money. This person is here pretending to be a person. Please don't misunderstand me!"
The man in black nodded secretly. This Xiaotian was indeed a character and a good person. In just a few words, everyone's impression of the Yangtze Gang was greatly changed.
Xiaotian just saw that the man in black was very good at kung fu, and he wanted to get acquainted with him. When he saw that the man in black was silent, he smiled and asked, "Brother, what do you think we will do next?"
The man in black lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "What does it have to do with me?"
Xiaodao was not annoyed, and turned to look at the ruffian and the other gangsters, and shouted sternly: "If you are my brothers from the Yangtze River Gang, you will have to stamp one of your hands to show the gang rules."
Seeing the trembling looks of the gangsters, he changed his words: "But I'll forget it today. I'll go apologize to Ah Shui and pay some silver, and get out!"
The ruffian nodded repeatedly, crawled over and kowtowed to Ah Shui and the others to thank him. He took out a handful of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Ah Shui's hand. He nodded obsequiously towards the knife and looked like a disabled little brother. ran away.
Xiaotian went over to help Ah Shui, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Ah Shui, are you okay?"
Ah Shui looked at the knife doubtfully, suddenly his brows moved, and he shouted excitedly: "Xiaotian? Are you Xiaotian? I haven't seen you in ten years!"
He punched Xiaotian hard, but said "ouch" and blew into his fist. But this didn't stop him from being happy to meet a good friend for a long time. He pulled Xiaotian to ask questions and asked him to go drinking with him.
Xiaotian turned to greet the man in black, but where was the shadow of that man
"Xiaotian, let's go. You haven't been back for so many years. Go to eldest brother's house and ask your sister-in-law to make something delicious to go with the wine!"
. . . . . .
At the corner of the village house, the ruffian bent over and said flatteringly: "This hero, I have already done what you asked me to do, that..." He rubbed his fingers, showing a greedy look.
The person he was talking to clasped his hands behind his back, snorted, and threw a money bag to the ruffian. The latter took it with a smile, opened it and smiled even more.
He bowed repeatedly and said humbly: "The little one will go first, my hero. If you need a little one next time, you can be generous."
He turned around and left with a smile. Suddenly he felt a chill on his neck and a sound of blowing came from his ears: "There will be no next time."
The money bag in his hand fell to the ground. The ruffian opened his eyes wide and looked like he couldn't believe it.
The person he was talking to came out of the shadows, and it was the man in black!
He glanced at the ruffian with disdain, bent down, picked up the money bag, and put it into his arms.
"Why kill him?" Qingyue's voice came from the shadow behind him.
The man in black curled his lips and said: "If this kind of scum dies, a few people in the world will suffer less."
The voice sighed: "But if you are going to walk away and dispose of this garbage body, you are going to leave it to me, right?" Although he did not show his face, the feeling of gritted teeth could be heard in his voice.
The man in black didn't say anything and took it as acquiescence.
The voice raised a few notches: "Xiao Yueye, you shameless guy, you killed someone and asked me to collect your body. Then do you want me to wipe your butt when you poop?"
Xiao Yueye? This man in black is actually Xiao Yueye
How can it be
Xiao Yueye is a fair-faced, beardless, handsome boy, but this man in black does have a beard, a dark complexion, and a thin scar on his forehead. How could he be Xiao Yueye
