Geng Character Scroll, Drunken Lights and Swords, Chapter 10: The Wisdom of Little People
"I heard Brother Liu said that you showed your hands, the Crazy Magic Wand and the Arhat Fist?" Feng Ziying asked with interest.
"Well, I had a little fight with the gang from Zhending Mansion." Ni Er was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that a big shot like Feng Ziying would be interested in these rivers and lakes fighting. He scratched his head and said, "That's over in Pinggu.
It was a pure hand-to-hand competition, very peaceful..."
“Hmm, so your martial arts skills are from the lineage of Lu Zhishen, the great prime minister of the former Song Dynasty?” Feng Ziying continued to ask with a smile.
Faced with Feng Ziying's enthusiasm, Ni Er was also quite confused and shook his head helplessly: "Sir, where did you hear this rumor from? I'm crazy about the magic wand method and Luohan fist, but I want to talk about what I mentioned to you.
"Water Margin" is related to the stories in the legendary storybooks, but it is a bit irrelevant. This is an ancestral biography. Our Ni family's ancestral home is in Henan. The Crazy Magic Wand Technique and Luohan Fist are passed down from generation to generation.
But it has been gradually improved by constantly absorbing the essence of other schools, but it has nothing to do with the story of Lu Zhishen you told."
"Well, I'm just curious. Brother Liu is a master in my eyes. Ni Er, how do you compare your martial arts skills with Brother Liu's?" Feng Ziying was really curious.
My pillow companions, You Sanjie and Liu Xianglian, are both from the Kongtong sect, but You Sanjie is obviously inferior to Liu Xianglian. However, as You Sanjie is a woman, it is much more suitable for her to follow him for personal protection than Liu Xianglian, but Liu Xianglian
It is unknown how high Xianglian's martial arts skills are, so Feng Ziying also wants to know.
He was stopped by Feng Ziying's question. If it had been someone else, he would have scoffed and wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with him. But this one he didn't want to answer. He hesitated and said: "Young Master Liu's swordsmanship is amazing. I don't really know how to speak."
I have been exposed to it before, but I also know that those who use swords like this are quite powerful when fighting alone. You Sanyi Niang must be from the same lineage as Liu Gongzi. Their sect is used to taking advantage of the sword..."
Feng Ziying was not happy, "Ni Er, you talk so much, I ask you how you compare with brother Liu Er, why are you talking so much?"
Ni Er scratched his head again and murmured for a long time before saying: "If Mr. Liu can't kill me in twenty rounds, then I may have a greater chance of winning. Well, Mr. Liu has a greater chance of winning in a place with narrow streets. If it's in the wild,
, maybe my winning rate is slightly higher.”
It was very difficult for Ni Er to say such docile words, and he suddenly broke into a sweat on his forehead.
Feng Ziying was immediately impressed, "Ni Er, can't you tell, Brother Liu has the strongest martial arts skills among the people I have ever met, and you actually have a good chance of winning against him. Are you hiding in the city?"
You should go to the army and have a good run, maybe you can make a big fortune."
Ni Er laughed and said, "Uncle, you are just telling a joke. These days, if you want to show off my courage and fight ruthlessly, I can deal with ten or twenty people by myself. But on the battlefield, this is not the case."
How useful is individual bravery? If any of the bows, crossbows, and muskets are pointed at you, you will have to kneel down. From thirty to fifty meters away, they can easily shoot you into a hornet's nest. They can form a formation to kill you.
How long can you withstand being slashed and stabbed by five swords and spears? Hey, my skills as a banker can only be used to scare people."
Although Ni Er is a little more modest, he is telling the truth. When it comes to battle, whether personal bravery has any use, it certainly does. At least the survivability is stronger, but if you want to say that one sword can stop millions of soldiers, then it is true.
It's a joke.
"Ni Er, don't belittle yourself. There are strengths and weaknesses. These martial arts may have limitations in battle formations, but they can be used to great effect in sudden daily encounters. If nothing else,
Whether you work in Zhending Prefecture or Pinggu County, your business will be gone in a few moments, but at least your authority will be challenged, and you will have to spend more effort in other areas.
Win it back."
Ni Er nodded and said sternly: "What I'm saying is, to be honest with you, I am also very trembling with such a big stall now. I am deeply afraid that something will happen one day and the place will be ruined. I will be embarrassed and the trouble will be small."
If you lose the uncle’s face, I will never redeem myself.”
Feng Ziying burst out laughing. This was quite interesting to Ni Er. Although his words were nondescript, he felt comfortable in his heart.
"Okay, Ni Er, I told you that you are a good-natured person. You appear to be rough and arrogant, but in fact you are cautious and careful, and you are a workman." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "The Capital City is no better than other places, and Shuntian Mansion is no better than other prefectures.
, a mixture of dragons and snakes, the center of the imperial court, the royal family, high-ranking families, and noble officials are all gathered here. Not only those who stare here blindly, but also the Jurchens, Mongols, and Japanese from outside the territory, who can
Don't you just keep an eye on this? The imperial court is a bit busy, so it might be necessary to rely on private power. If you use this relationship to get in touch with the government, there are only benefits, and it can be regarded as a sign of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."
“Ni Er understands, Ni Er understands.” Hearing Feng Ziying’s formal words, Ni Er quickly stood up and thanked her again.
“Sit down.” Feng Ziying waved her hand.
He has always had a good impression of Ni Er. From the story of Ni Er and Jia Yun in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, he had a deep impression of these two people.
Since I have come to this time and space, I am naturally willing to help them if I can help them, which can be regarded as a blessing for them.
From now on, both Jia Yun and Ni Er have performed admirably. They have a solid intelligence network at the bottom of the capital city.
This can be considered to make up for the shortcomings of Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing and others who came from the south of the Yangtze River and were unfamiliar with the situation in the north.
For example, now Wang Wenyan has made good use of the one or two thousand people under Ni Er, who go from house to house every day to clean excrement, deliver vegetables and fruits to high-ranking families, and help government yamen and wealthy nobles.
Those who build houses and walls, those who gamble and lend money in casinos, and Ni Er even plans to build a few inns in a few locations. Ni Er has also taken a stake in a brothel in Fenzi Alley. It is really diverse, with three religions and nine schools.
Everything can be relied on.
It can be said that this guy really showed him the way. He suddenly realized it as if he had taken medicine, and he suddenly started running on the road. Maybe any doorway could provide him with some unimaginable help in the future.
Feng Ziying briefly asked Ni Er about his development in the gray underground corridor in the capital city in the past six months. Ni Er naturally did not hide anything and spoke vividly, which made Feng Ziying sleepy.
"Well, Ni Er, as far as your current situation is concerned, it's pretty good, but the population in Beijing has increased dramatically recently. I heard that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the patrol camp are also overcrowded?"
"Sir, seven to eight thousand people have come in at once, not to mention those from outside begging for food. Even those restless people in our capital city are unwilling to give up such an opportunity." Ni Er said with a wry smile: "
The Ministry of Punishment and the Shuntian Prefecture are both busy, but think about it. The wealthy gentry families in the seven or eight counties in the north have brought their children and daughters to move their belongings in. There are so many fat sheep. You said those who are fishing for the sidelines will not take this opportunity to eat.
A mouthful? But I can guarantee that the people below me will never reach out, but if they come to the casino and get ripped off, then it is none of my business."
“Isn’t Jia Rui like a fish in water in your Silver Hook Gambling House?” Feng Ziying joked.
Ni Er was a little embarrassed, "Well, Jia Rui is no longer at Silver Hook Gambling House,..."
“Oh, he doesn’t lend money anymore?” Feng Ziying was still a little surprised. Can this guy improve?
“No, no, he has gone to Yunding Casino now.” Ni Er lowered his head.
“Whose?” Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows.
"It's still ours. Jia Rui felt that there were too many acquaintances at Silver Hook Gambling House, and it was not good to lend them the money, or not to lend it, so he went to the newly opened Yunding Gambling House, next to Nanxunfang."
Ni Er finally paused, "There is another thing I need to tell you, sir..."
"What's the matter?" Feng Ziying was not interested in this. He just felt that Jia Rui seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into the identity of Long Jinwei's secret agent.

“It’s about Miss Xing’s family.” Ni Er took a peek at Feng Ziying’s expression and her expression changed.
"Girl from the Xing family? Xiuyan?" Feng Ziying was a little surprised. How could a girl like Xiuyan have anything to do with Ni Er?
"Yes, the father of the girl from the Xing family, who is also the brother of the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion, lost a lot of money gambling at Yingou Gambling House. Later, he borrowed money from loan sharks everywhere, and also borrowed a lot from Jia Rui, but that
How can Xing Zhong afford such a high profit? He just sinks deeper and deeper, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall..."
It was only then that Feng Ziying realized that something had happened to Xing Xiuyan's father.
"Xing Zhong? He borrowed Jia Rui's money?" Feng Ziying frowned, "How much did you borrow?"
“Not only did he borrow money from Jia Rui, but Jia Rui pressed hard, so Xing Zhong thought about repaying the money, so he borrowed a lot from other places, and wanted to go to the casino to turn over the money, but..."
What else can the result be? Naturally, the hole will get bigger and bigger.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her forehead. How could Xing Zhong give birth to a daughter with such a clean and pure personality like Xing Xiuyan, but she was so unsatisfactory?
“Where is this Xingzhong now?” Feng Ziying had a good impression of Xing Xiuyan, especially since he was in a relationship with Miaoyu. If possible, he would naturally not want Xing Xiuyan to be involved in such a mess.
"Now they seem to be hiding in Tibet. They don't owe much to Jia Rui, but they owe a lot to those outside. So Jia Rui is instigating Xing Zhong to promise Miss Xing to Sun Shaozu as a concubine, so that the Sun family can
I paid back the money for Xingzhong." Ni Er glanced at Feng Ziying and said, "It seems that Mr. Pardon and the eldest wife also agree with it."
