Having this group of thieves help me find Xiaoduo made me feel more at ease.
Drinking tea with Mr. Liu and chatting.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Liu suddenly sighed.
"Hey, you see, we call ourselves masters. But the old guys like Rongmen can really be called masters, and Mr. Niu is the first one. The Rongmen in Habei are able to be in peace and calm today, all because of Mr. Niu...
…”
oh?
I glanced at Mr. Liu curiously.
I really don’t know much about Niu Lao’s previous history.
Seeing my confused look, Mr. Liu told me:
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Niu came to Habei eight years ago. Mr. Niu is very particular about the old rules of Rongmen, and he abides by them really. If people don't rely on their high purchasing power, they will
It seems superior to others. We, the younger generation, are always treated equally!"
As he spoke, Mr. Liu took a sip of tea.
And when he talks about buying high, he refers to the top masters in the Rongmen.
As long as you make a move, it will definitely be a big deal.
"But five years ago, Habei Rongmen suddenly fell into chaos. Chen Mazi came back from the southern Guangdong side. This old bastard gathered a group of little thieves who didn't know where they were, and borrowed a lot of thugs to start robbing.
Territory. In the eight districts and nine counties of Habei, as long as someone belonging to Chen Mazi passes by, this bastard will consider himself Chen Mazi’s territory. Do you think other families can agree?"
"I definitely won't agree!"
Seeing that Mr. Liu was chatting happily, I agreed.
"Yeah, I definitely don't agree. At the beginning, everyone sat down to talk to each other and reasoned with each other. But as time went by, who had the patience anymore? Just let's fight! This fight, oh, that's a fight
The world is turned upside down, it’s terrible. Little brother, I’m not kidding you. During those fights, a few of the young boys from Tianrongmen had to lose their arms and legs every day. Liu Jinhe, you know? You don’t throw two to feed the fish a day.
Yes, that doesn’t count as a fight…”
As he spoke, Mr. Liu stretched out his left hand that had been clenched into a fist.
"Look, our little finger was cut off with a knife at that time. In this way, this bloody battle lasted for more than half a year. Every family suffered great losses. But Chen Mazi, an old bastard, had a bigger territory.
The bigger the fight, the more people we have to fight..."
"Why?"
Lao Hei, who was fascinated by what he heard, couldn't help but ask.
"Why? It's because they have support behind them and can borrow thugs. When it comes to fighting, how can we, the little thieves, be the opponents of their thugs? Normally, those little thieves without a backbone, seeing that Chen Mazi is so powerful, will naturally
Joined him. Later, everyone thought that this matter couldn't go on like this. If it went on like this, Chen Mazi would have to be broken up. So some people suggested that they find someone to settle the matter. After thinking about it,
, the only person with this weight in Habei is Mr. Niu!"
As he said that, Mr. Liu rolled his eyelids and began to remember.
"If I remember correctly, it must have been the winter month of 1996. I remember that it snowed heavily that day. There was not even a dog on the street in Zhongjie. At that time, we were in Zhongjie.
The place set up in Baishun Tower. Chen Mazi, me, and all the big bandit leaders from Harbin were all present. Mr. Niu took the little wild girl there. On the spot, Mr. Niu proposed that all the families shake hands and make peace, and redraw the land.
The territory has been determined, we can’t continue fighting like this!”
"Of course we agree. But Chen Mazi won't do it. This old turtle has many soldiers and many people behind him, and there are people behind him. You don't know that at that time, Chen Mazi was so arrogant. He even spoke rudely to Mr. Niu!
"
As he said this, Mr. Liu actually laughed.
"At that time, Mr. Niu didn't say anything, but that wild girl Xiaoduo stopped. He took out a knife on the spot and was going to chop Chen Mazi into pieces. If Mr. Niu hadn't stopped him, that little wild girl would have fought Chen Mazi to the death!"
I laughed too.
I understand Xiaoduo's temperament.
This kind of thing is nothing new for her.
"What happened next? How was it solved?"
Mr. Liu spoke so vividly that I couldn't help but be fascinated. I couldn't help but ask a question.
"Seeing that Chen Mazi disagreed, Mr. Niu became anxious. He threw a cup on the spot and swore a strong oath. If Chen Mazi disagreed, he promised that Chen Mazi would not have half an inch of territory in Habei. I remember Mr. Niu's original words
Yes, although his old bones are weak, he can still weigh a lot. Starting from tomorrow, he will invite veterans from all over the country to gather in Harbei. As long as one of Chen Mazi's people dares to show up, he will beat one. Beat him.
Until Chen Mazi gets out of Habei!"
What Liu Ye said made Lao Hei and I excited.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Niu is kind and kind-hearted.
There is still such a passionate history.
"Chen Mazi is not stupid either. Although Mr. Niu lives alone, he has disciples and grandsons all over the country. Many of them are famous local thief kings. If these people gather in Habei,
Then what happened to Chen Mazi? After much deliberation, Chen Mazi agreed. However, this old bastard is so sinister, he made a condition!"
With that said, Mr. Liu picked up his pipe and lit a pot.
After a few mouthfuls, he continued:
"The condition he made was that Mr. Niu would no longer be allowed to eat Rongmen food or accept donations from Rongmen. Think about it, Mr. Niu has been in the Rongmen family all his life. If he doesn't eat Rongmen food, he will be cut off.
He is not allowed to accept donations from Rongmen, including all his disciples and descendants, including us. No matter who gives it, Mr. Niu cannot accept it! Then you say that Mr. Niu has a little girl, how do you want him to live? "
Master Liu said and shook his head.
"Hey, at that time, we people couldn't stand it and advised Mr. Niu not to agree. But Mr. Niu swore an oath on the spot and accepted Chen Mazi's condition. Mr. Niu didn't have much savings in his hands.
He spent a lot of money and was generous with his wealth. The little savings were all spent in a short time. You can understand why Mr. Niu, a well-known figure, would later live in a bridge cave and live like a beggar gang. Even when he was hospitalized,
I can't get the money. In fact, we also gave him money secretly. But the old man Niu is proud, and since he has sworn, he will not accept it! Hey, how about you help him get these thirty square meters.
Mr. Niu may really just tell you that he is in Habei!"
A story from the past made my heart surge.
I couldn't help but sigh.
This also answered my doubts.
Why did Xiaoduo disguise himself as a beggar and steal money from the mahjong parlor?
In the end, Mr. Niu was so poor that he didn’t even have money for medical treatment.
Mr. Liu continued to smoke his pipe and took a few puffs before saying again:
"You can be considered an old man. I can tell you something. Do you know who supported Chen Mazi at that time?"
"who?"
"Old man of the Zou family, Zou Wanli!"
ah?
I couldn't help but exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, these things happened to Rongmen.
The Zou family will actually participate.
"Zou Wanli, this old bastard, if he hadn't supported Chen Mazi, we wouldn't have lost so many disciples and disciples. Whenever I mention him, my teeth itch. Alas, there's nothing we can do. The Zou family is so powerful that we can offend him too.
Sorry!"
After Master Liu finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly.
But in my heart, it was like thunder on the ground.
As we were talking, Brother Quan suddenly came over.
He glanced at me and said to Mr. Liu:
"Master, I replied to the letter and found out about Xiaoduo..."
"Then tell me quickly, what are you talking about?"
