In Xi'an, a city with a registered population of 500,000, it is not enough to rely on one force alone to find clues about the White Lotus Sect and the assassins.
On the surface, he is the military commander of Xi'an, but his real identity is Guo Yuanshan, a member of the Qianhu Jinyi Guards in Xi'an. As soon as he came out of Heijin, he turned around and took people to the outer city of Xi'an.
To be precise, outside the city, in any city, there are a large number of poor people gathered outside the city. They rely on the city to survive, serve the city and the people in the city, and work menially in exchange for an ordinary life.
They are civilian husbands, coolies, and the most basic components of the city.
But people living in the city, including the city, never looked down upon them.
~~
Compared with the orderliness inside the city, the outer city is much more complicated and messy. And there is no planning at all. Private buildings are everywhere and houses are of different heights.
Guo Yuanshan led the people towards a large car shop, which was his goal. There were always children watching curiously at this group of well-dressed people.
No matter how peaceful and prosperous the world is, there are still poor people in this world.
When the rich look at the poor, their eyes are filled with contempt, while when the poor look at the rich, their eyes are filled with envy and fear.
Guo Yuanshan arrived at his destination. This big car shop had no signboard, it was just a row of thatched houses, with the words "big car shop" written on the wall.
There were noisy sounds coming from the store, and a sour, musty smell came faintly from inside.
Guo Yuanshan stood at the door and looked at the children who were still following them, their eyes bright and full of curiosity.
"Old man, give those kids some!" Guo Yuanshan ordered calmly.
A man named Zi behind him nodded, then took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and said, "This is for you!" He threw it out with a clatter.
Snapped!
Before the copper coin hit the ground, Guo Yuanshan slapped Zi in the face.
"Are you a fucking human?" Guo Yuanshan scolded with a cold face.
"I..." Zi was at a loss.
Guo Yuanshan glared at him again, slowly bent down and picked up the coins on the ground one by one.
Then he walked up to the children with a smile, handed them over one by one, and said with a smile, "Child, take this to buy candy balls!"
There was a tall and thin boy who was too afraid to take it. Guo Yuanshan put it into his hand and said with a smile, "Take it, buy a candy ball and eat it!" He said, and rubbed the child's head twice with a smile.
After giving out the copper coins, Guo Yuanshan walked up to Zi again.
"Remember, we all come from poor families! Damn it!"
"I understand, little one!"
In a window, a short man with a sallow complexion and a thin body watched this scene silently. Then, he got up from his chair and walked out of the door.
~~
"Why do you, sir, come to this poor place like this villain today?"
The man with a sallow complexion and skinny muscles looked as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind, but if you look closely, he is not that skinny because of hunger, but seems to be born thin. His whole body is just bones, and he also has a miserable look on his face.
But those eyes definitely belonged to an honest poor man.
His eyes were like a wolf.
"Why, Zhang Erlang doesn't welcome you?" Guo Yuanshan smiled and entered the big car shop. While looking around curiously, he followed the other person into the back room and sat down casually.
Zhang Erlang was carrying a somewhat worn copper kettle, picked up a chipped porcelain bowl, wiped it with his sleeve, and then poured warm water into it.
Guo Yuanshan didn't mind it either. He picked it up and drank half of the bowl in one gulp. "I'm really thirsty after walking all the way!" As he said that, he looked at the man named Zhang Erlang and asked, "Just give me water, but not meat?"
"Aren't I afraid that you will dislike me, sir?" Zhang Erlang smiled, waved his hand and a bearded man ran in from the door, "Second brother!"
"Meat and wine, pancakes with green onions and sauce!" Zhang Erlang seemed to be naturally reticent, and every time he spoke he was short and clear.
The man didn't say anything, turned around and left.
There were only two people in the room, Zhang Erlang and Guo Yuanshan. Guo was sitting and Zhang was standing.
"You sit down?" Guo Yuanshan said.
"Don't dare!" Zhang Erlang said.
"Ha!" Guo Yuanshan smiled, and then took another sip of water, "Outer City Zhang Erlang, when did you become so timid?"
There are rules everywhere, and in the outer city, a place where the government has weak jurisdiction, this thin Zhang Erlang is the rule here.
This man's experience is legendary. He was an orphan without a father or a mother. Together with several other orphans, he was controlled by three or five old beggars and grew up begging for food.
The reason why he is thin is that he has been hungry since he was a child. No matter how much he wants, he has to be handed over to the old beggars. But he and the other little beggars can only starve. If he doesn't get enough, he will be beaten, severely beaten.
When he was thirteen years old, he took several young beggars who were also controlled by the old beggar and killed them directly at night while the old beggar was familiar with them. It is said that he killed those old beggars.
Later, he led his men to kill all the named beggars in the outer city.
Later, there were no more beggars.
Under his control, those beggars turned into manure collectors, dock coolies, civilian laborers when the government was building city walls, and laborers under his control.
Although he is not like Heijingang, who opens a casino, lends money, and engages in illegal business, but no one can despise him, because as long as he says a word, no one will dig up the excrement in Xi'an City, and no one will carry goods from north to south.
transport.
There is no one to keep the cattle, horse and mule market running.
He is more powerful than Black King Kong, but he is extremely low-key.
A large car shop with almost no one living there is his base. Even though he has made a fortune now, he still looks like a poor man before.
What's even more rare is that he is not arrogant.
You must know that no matter what kind of business he is in, he can't win it with empty words. He will only kill more people than Black King Kong, but he talks less than Black King Kong.
Zhang Erlang listened to Guo Yuanshan's words and bowed his head expressionlessly, "You are an adult, and a villain is a villain. There is no seat for villains in front of adults!"
Guo Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction, "Over the years, it is this humility that has made me feel that you are still a human being, and I am willing to look at you high and not care about many things with you!" He pointed to the lame chair in front of him and said, "Sit down.
!”
Zhang Erlang didn't talk nonsense, thanked him and sat down.
Although he was thin and looked poor, sitting there he looked more upright than many others.
"I have something to ask you!" Guo Yuanshan pulled his stool closer.
Zhang Erlang lowered his head, without looking into the other person's eyes, and said calmly, "Sir, are you in trouble?" Then, for the first time, he said a series of words, "If there is a murder case that cannot be solved, this villain has it.
A bastard can take the blame."
"If someone loses something in the city, I can help find it!"
"If a child is lost or a female family member is kidnapped, I will personally lead someone to find him!"
"If the court wants a civilian husband, I will help you speak here. However, if you want a civilian husband, you can't let someone work for nothing. You have to give some money. Don't worry, sir, I will never withhold from you!"
"No!" Guo Yuanshan waved his hand and suddenly smiled, "I heard that you recently found a gentleman to teach you how to read?"
Zhang Erlang raised his head and smiled, "It's not good to be blind all your life. I'm going to have a baby soon. I think that whether it's a boy or a girl, I need the father to name it!"
"
"When the time comes, I can help you name it!" Guo Yuanshan said with a smile.
Suddenly, Zhang Erlang raised his head and looked into Guo Yuanshan's eyes, "Thank you, Sir!"
Guo Yuanshan smiled, dipped his fingers in water, and wrote on the uneven table. As he wrote, he said, "I'm looking for this!"
The water stains left traces on the table. Although they were fleeting, Zhang Erlang could see clearly, "White Lotus Sect!"
There was no wave in Zhang Erlang's eyes.
"You know this, right?" Guo Yuanshan clicked on the dried handwriting.
"It's not a good thing!" Zhang Erlang said.
"It's rare that you come from a humble background but have a righteous heart!" Guo Yuanshan praised again, "There are many poor people in the outer city, and the White Lotus Sect likes these stupid...poor people the most!" After saying that, he paused, "So, I
I want you to pay attention!"
