Chapter 9 Seeing the Dragon in the Field
Yang Kang did not leave immediately. He turned around and called the carriage driver who was about to return.
According to the agreement between him and the carriage company, this carriage was only responsible for delivering him to Niujia Village. Yang Kang originally planned to stay here for two days. Anyway, he had already memorized the way back to Lin'an and would just walk back then.
But now the situation has changed, and he has to adapt to circumstances.
Yang Kang stuffed a little bit of silver into the coachman's hand, about one tael or so, which was nothing to the young prince of Jin. When he came to Jiangnan, Bao Xiruo gave him a lot of silver, but he didn't dare to stuff it.
Giving too much to the driver is not a sign of being stingy, but rather considering the driver's ability to bear.
The annual salary of a coachman in a horse and carriage shop like this is only about five taels of silver, while the salary of an ordinary escort is about ten taels. It also depends on the level of business. A general escort earns about twenty taels of silver in the first year.
Counting the red envelopes at the end of the year, this is the basic salary level in this era.
The coachman put the money into his arms, knowing that the little Taoist boy had special requests, which he had long been accustomed to.
For coachmen like them, wages are only part of their income. If the carriage returns empty, they will help others carry goods, or do private work themselves. If customers have special requests, they will usually agree as long as it is not dangerous, and the reward from the customer is higher than the wages.
Much higher.
"Send me to the village, right in front of the house." Yang Kang pointed to the depths of Niujia Village and demanded, "Let's stop inside for a while. There won't be any trouble."
"If there's any trouble, I won't take care of you." The coachman said bluntly.
Yang Kang nodded and got into the carriage. The driver turned the horse's head and continued walking towards the village. Yang Kang opened the curtain and paid attention to the movement around him.
After walking towards the village for a while, he heard the noise. It was the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River and two Beggar Gang disciples who were entangled. Yang Kang signaled the driver to stop and observed that direction from a distance.
He didn't know that there was Guo Xiaotian's house, but he was surprised that Sha Tongtian chased Huazheng to Niujia Village. The next moment, he had a guess close to the truth. Could it be that Guo Jing was also inside?
At this moment, a figure flashed past the carriage and broke directly into the yard. Where he passed, the four ghosts of the Yellow River had fallen to the ground, their life or death unknown.
In the yard, Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu were on guard against the intruder. Suddenly, an old beggar with a gray beard appeared in front of them. The old beggar was holding a green bamboo stick in his hand and a wine gourd on his back. He looked slovenly.
His rugged face is the standard image of a beggar.
"The old beggar is here. Does King Salon really want to see me?" The old beggar stood in the courtyard, squinting his eyes and saying as if there was no one around.
"Gang leader!" Lu Youjiao, who was lying on the ground, shouted in surprise.
The person who came was none other than Hong Qigong, one of the five beggars from the North. After he finished handling Lu Youjiao's matter in Baoying, he was planning to go to Jiangbei to stabilize the mood of the Beggar Gang disciples there and not to do anything that would impact the Jin Kingdom's government.
.
The main job of the Beggar Clan disciples in Jiangbei is to spy on intelligence, not to engage in violent confrontation.
Once there was a large-scale attack on the Jin Dynasty, social organizations could not defeat the state's violent organs. They could only let more Beggar Gang disciples die. Of course, they were not blindly tolerant. He went to Jiangbei to give Wanyan Honglie a warning.
, control things within the scope acceptable to both parties.
As the leader of a gang, blindly rushing to kill will undoubtedly lead to self-destruction. Only by knowing how to compromise can you become a successful manager.
However, before he could set out, he received a message from Li Sheng. There was a master who visited the beggar gang at Baoying at night. It seemed that the person's appearance and the weapons he used should be Sha Tongtian, the ghost gate dragon king of Jiangbei Wulin.
In the martial arts world, one can identify a person's identity through weapons, especially those masters who use strange weapons. The weapon is the person's identity certificate. The only martial arts master who uses a pair of iron oars is Sha Tongtian.
Hong Qigong captured Hou Tonghai at the Beggar Clan Conference. Hou Tonghai was a fool, and everything was revealed in just two or three sentences. Hong Qigong felt relieved when he knew that he was the only one chasing after him.
Tongtian also appeared in Baoying.
After learning about this situation, Hong Qigong was worried about the safety of Lu Youjiao and his party, so he rushed over.
He heard Sha Tongtian's sarcastic voice from a distance, and then he taught him a lesson, which acted as a deterrent. Then he used his internal power to transmit his voice, which showed his great strength, making Sha Tongtian wary and not dare to act recklessly.
.
Otherwise, if Sha Tongtian immediately kills Lu Youjiao or several of his children, he will really regret it.
Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu heard that the old beggar who came was none other than Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, and their hearts suddenly became cold. The names of the Five Great Masters in the World were not just random names, but real and deserving top masters. These figures are often seen by dragons.
If you don't see the beginning or the end, it is generally difficult to encounter.
There is a qualitative gap between first-class masters and top masters. Qiu Chuji is considered a first-class master in the world, but when facing Huang Yaoshi, he not only gathered the Seven Quanzhen Masters, but also relied on the Tiangang Beidou Formation to deal with him. This is
The strength of a supreme master.
"It turns out that Gang Leader Hong is here. We had a little misunderstanding with your gang, and that's why the conflict broke out." Peng Lianhu clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully.
He knew that what he was doing today was out of the question, and a hero would not suffer the immediate consequences, so he wanted to find a way to escape and make plans later.
"Oh, what misunderstanding made King Shalom brutally kill my disciple of the Beggar Clan?" Hong Qigong asked.
"The cause of the matter was a case carried out by the disciples of your gang in Kaifeng. The disciples of your gang robbed the little princess of Prince Zhao's palace. We followed this all the way and had a conflict with the disciples of your gang. It sounds like we were just following orders.
I really couldn’t help myself, so please forgive me, Gang Leader Hong." Peng Lianhu defended.
"Nonsense, that is my sister, not the little princess of Prince Zhao's palace. Wanyan Honglie snatched her from Mobei." Tuo Lei angrily yelled at the side.
"Well, we don't know the cause and effect of this." Peng Lianhu shook his head, refused to answer Tuo Lei's words, and continued to say to Hong Qigong, "Hong Gang Leader is highly respected and senior in the world. Today our brothers admit defeat, but since
I have already hurt this brother of the Beggar Clan. According to the rules of the world, I also ask Gang Leader Hong to make a charter. We have no say in what should be done."
"Having said that, will you still cause trouble for these children today?" Hong Qigong frowned.
"This is not something we can decide. If the Sixth Prince of Jin Kingdom must pursue the case, we can only do it." Peng Lianhu said neither softly nor hardly.
His meaning was very clear. He was just a small person, and he was just following orders. It was useless to kill him if he wanted to solve the problem. Wanyan Honglie would still send someone.
"You go, go back to Jiangbei and tell Wanyan Honglie that these children are under the control of the beggar gang." Hong Qigong said sternly, "If I find you still lingering in Jiangnan, don't blame the old beggar for being ruthless."
After Hong Qigong finished speaking, he raised his dog-beating stick slightly and formed a shadow of the stick. The arms of Peng Lianhu and Sha Tongtian immediately drooped down, looking like they were crippled.
"This is a little punishment, just go back and recuperate for a few months." Hong Qigong said in a deep voice, "You are also martial arts heroes from Jiangbei, why bother to sacrifice your lives for the Jin people."
"Clan Leader Xie Hong is magnanimous." Peng Lianhu refused to answer the question, and glanced at Shatong Angel, signaling him to leave the place quickly.
"Is my junior brother in the hands of the Beggar Gang?" Sha Tongtian did not leave. Although he knew how powerful Hong Qigong was, he still asked this question.
"King Shalom has a sense of friendship. The old beggar will let your junior brother go." Hong Qigong praised.
"Thank you, Leader Hong." Genius Sha Tong thanked him this time and left.
The two of them walked out of the hospital door with their arms hanging down and looked at the four ghosts of the Yellow River lying on the ground. At this time, a sound of breaking through the air passed through them and landed on the four ghosts of the Yellow River. After a closer look, they found that they were four grains of wine.
broad bean rice.
The Four Ghosts of the Yellow River woke up and turned around. When they saw their master and Master Peng, they knew that they were in a tough situation this time. They hurriedly stepped forward to help them. Among them, the boss of the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River, Shen Qinggang, raised his eyes and saw a carriage parked not far away.
, and yelled at the coachman to drive the carriage over so that the master could get on.
The coachman looked at the ferocious look of this group of people and couldn't help but regret it. However, they were so close to each other that it was too late to turn the horse's head and escape, so he had to drive the carriage carefully.
Shen Qing just came closer and planned to open the curtain to let the master get in. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a little Taoist boy inside waving to him to keep quiet.
Chapter completed!
