In the blink of an eye, winter has turned to spring, and it has been several months since Sun Yixie returned to Hangzhou.
In the past few months, Sun Yixie has been busier than ever, so busy that he couldn't even take a few days off during the New Year.
So what is he busy with? It's just the "West Lake Seating" thing.
The initial stage of embarking on such a large project is the most difficult. Usually the process of site selection and land purchase can be delayed for three to five months, not to mention... Sun Yixie is still prepared to invest in such a high-priced land beside the West Lake.
When opening a restaurant in a certain place, there are too many things that need to be "cleared" and "managed".
Fortunately, the Sun family is powerful in Hangzhou, and Sun Yixie has recently gained some reputation with Jinyiwei, so the government is giving him the green light in every possible way.
Finally, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month of this year, construction of Sun Yixie's restaurant officially began.
The wood and stone construction craftsmanship of the Zhao Dynasty was already very good. Even if Sun Yixie put forward the requirement of "eight feet high (approximately 2.5 meters), four floors in total" which was quite rare at the time, there was actually no technical problem, as long as
If your manpower and construction funds can keep up, this kind of project can be completed in three or four months at the earliest.
However, most projects in those days were often unable to achieve these two points, so it was common for them to be delayed for a year and a half.
Sun Yixie didn't want to delay it for so long, so he made a big deal this time: he recruited almost all the best craftsmen and supervisors in the Jiangnan area, and the workers he hired were all young and strong.
Don’t come here if you want to dawdle around; the building materials used to build the building are all bought as they are ready, and the local ones are shipped from other places as soon as they are sold out...
In a nutshell - don't be short of money, just get things done.
In this way, more than a month passed, and in March, the restaurant project was progressing very smoothly, and Sun Yixie finally had some free time.
But it happened that at this time, something happened in the city of Hangzhou.
According to legend, there was a notorious thief named "Red Plum Bird" who accidentally arrived in Hangzhou at this time.
Who is this person?
Four sentences - The green forest despises the dirty talk, the rivers and lakes cannot tolerate tigers and wolves, they commit adultery, robbery and robbery, they have lost their conscience and are in vain.
You said there is just such a gangster who is wanted dead by the Green Forest, the Jianghu, and the government. Why is he not dead yet?
It's very simple, his martial arts is good.
How good is he? Let's put it this way... Compared with his peers, he is better than Shen Youran.
Some people may be wondering again: Why does a gangster have such high martial arts skills?
Or you can also think about it the other way around: Why would a person whose martial arts reached the level of a first-class sect leader at the age of thirty become a gangster?
This is a long story...
You readers are all well-informed. I believe you have all seen stories like this:
A young man has been burdened with a blood feud since he was a child, and has lived a life of being bullied and homeless.
Until one day, he fell off a cliff/fallen to the bottom of a valley/lost his footing and fell into the water...
Then by chance, he met a peerless master, or picked up the secret manual left by the peerless master/the martial arts technique carved on the mountain/the scripture hidden in the belly of the ape...
At the same time, he might also find some natural treasures that only grow in this place, and if he takes one bite, he can increase his power/stimulate his potential/be invulnerable to all poisons, etc...
In short, after experiencing this adventure, when he came out of the mountain, this young man's martial arts skills were not only invincible, but also at a level where he could compete with the top masters.
The plot that follows is basically the young man's return to the world, his emergence into the world, his grievances, his revenge, his heroic deeds, his mercy at all times, and his eventual retreat into the mountains and forests with one or more beauties.
This kind of story is quite interesting at first glance, but after reading it more, you can't help but wonder - what if this boy is a bad guy?
In other words, he doesn't need to be a bad person, he just needs to be a common person who is neither good nor bad, so what will happen?
Hong Wei may be the answer.
Before the age of twenty-five, he was just an ordinary commoner, making a living by doing odd jobs.
He does know a lot of words when it comes to essays, because his family was not too poor when he was a child, and his parents sent him to school for a few years, but he just stopped at literacy.
In terms of martial arts, he has been doing physical work all year round and has strong arms, but he definitely doesn't know how to do martial arts, and he is not up to the standard of natural supernatural power of a "strong man" on the Green Forest Road.
You might call him a good person, but his ideological consciousness is not that high.
You might call him a bad guy, but he doesn't have the guts to steal and violate laws and disciplines.
He dares not to hand over a small amount of money when he picks it up, but he doesn't dare to rob someone when he sees a big fortune; he dares to peek at someone's little wife, but he doesn't dare to come forward to tease her; he dares to fight with others, but he doesn't dare to do something evil... He is kind and honest.
It doesn’t count, nor does he who is evil, greedy and slippery.
Just such a person, one day he got lucky and got the "protagonist treatment".
That day, Hong Wei took a job and ran errands for someone. In order to save some travel expenses, he left the main road and took a shortcut. As a result, he lost his footing and fell off the cliff.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not fall to death, he also found a cave at the bottom of the valley where an expert once lived - there were martial arts secrets and treasures of heaven and earth.
Hong Wei lived at the bottom of that valley for five years, practiced martial arts for five years, and ate all the treasures of heaven and earth for five years. Before leaving, he did not forget to destroy the place to prevent others from having this adventure in the future.
.
When Hong Wei came out of the mountain, it happened to be the autumn of the 18th year of Yongtai, which was around the time of the Young Heroes Meeting in Luoyang.
When he first came out of the martial arts world, he was not very courageous. Although he felt that his martial arts skills should be quite high, after all, he had never fought with anyone before, so he still felt a little fearful and uneasy.
Therefore, he did not dare to do anything particularly outrageous during that time, and he only occasionally had conflicts with some fish in the world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But later... as the number of times he played against others increased, he became more and more clear about his positioning of strength, so his courage also increased.
There are many things that he couldn't even think about before, but now he can do them, and he won't be afraid of getting in trouble after doing them.
What do you think will happen to a mortal when he gains power?
Will he continue to be a mortal and use his power to serve the society?
Yes, I am taking Peter Parker as an example... and, if you think about it carefully, a person who can make that choice cannot actually be called a mortal, because he is also a "hero" in spirit.
Real mortals, ordinary people...the first thing they think of after gaining power is to seek personal gain for themselves - to make full use of this power to make themselves better off while ensuring their own safety.
In this process, some people can still stick to the bottom line for the time being, but others will get lost as their desires expand and gradually lose their morality.
Hong Wei undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
At first, he thought he was a knight who went out to hunt down robbers and bandits. While fighting evildoers, he also took away their money and spent it on himself.
The money was well spent... but it was quite practical.
However, there is a saying that goes well - it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After Hong Wei spent a period of lavish life with the money he robbed, it will be difficult for you to let him live a hard life again;
But where are there so many thieves in the world for him to rob? So during that period, whenever money was tight, Hong Wei would have a bad temper... A person with a big temper would easily get into disputes with others, and he would be able to challenge him.
Those who quarreled were mostly people from the martial arts community or the green forest, and were not good-natured people... Therefore, Hong Wei treated those who offended him as "evil people".
Later, he simply convinced himself that rich people are evil people. Isn't there a saying that "it is unkind to be rich"? Then if I rob them, it is "robbing the rich and giving to the poor".
As for the matter of "money", he had convinced himself this way, so the matter of "sex" was not far away.
In the stories we are familiar with, the "protagonists" have many confidantes, and there is usually a prerequisite - without them, it is just "handsome".
What does "mistake your whole life when you first see Yang Guo" mean? If Yang Guo grows up like Louis Koo, the "mistake" means delay, but if Yang Guo grows up like Guo Degang, the "mistake" is a misunderstanding.
As for Hong Wei, he doesn't look very good, and his conversational temperament is relatively vulgar. Since his expansion, he has become more aggressive in his words, which can be said to be more and more annoying.
For a man like this, even if a woman is willing to approach him, it is usually with a purpose: mostly for money, or to ask him to do something, and it is impossible for anyone to come to him.
Although Hong Wei is not very intelligent, he is not stupid either... To say the least, even if he is really stupid, he can learn to be smarter after being deceived a few times. Therefore, he also has self-awareness about himself and knows that he is
There is no chance of finding any beauties for this kind of virtue. All he needs to do is ask the woman to go to a brothel to make some money.
But he had been to brothels a lot, and he was tired of it. He felt that prostitutes were boring, so he wanted to find a girl from a good family...
At this time, Hong Wei had a lot of lives on his hands. He had killed both good and bad people. Morality, reputation, etc. were not very important to him anymore, so he started to work as a flower picker.
Activities.
It was from that time on that people began to call him "Red Plum Bird".
The so-called red plum is actually a mispronunciation of the name "Hong Wei", and because it was winter when he became active, the word "que" naturally implies his Qinggong.
He himself was quite proud of the nickname. He thought it sounded good, so he later customized a bunch of handkerchiefs embroidered with red plum blossoms and sparrows, and left one at the scene after each crime.
By this period, Hong Wei had completely fallen.
All the laws and morals of the world were ignored by him, and all that was left in his eyes was wine, sex, wealth and wealth. It didn't matter to him what others did, he just wanted to be happy.
Of course, it cannot be called an accident that he will become like this. It can even be said to be very typical - once a person gains abilities that exceed his own temperament and capacity, most of them will be slowly corroded...
In this way, in less than half a year, Hong Wei committed more than 20 crimes in various provinces. Most of the victims were either killed by him or committed suicide later. The impact of "Red Plum Bird" can be said to be extremely bad. Not only did the government issue
The sea is hunting for documents, and even Jianghu and Green Forest want to get him.
But how could it be so easy to get someone in those days? There was no photo or anything, and the accuracy of the portrait was really low, and the reference value was limited, so Hong Wei still went around committing crimes unscrupulously.
Finally... one day in March, he came to the border of Hangzhou.
In fact, he had wanted to come for a long time because he had always heard that this beauty from the south of the Yangtze River was very beautiful. However, when Hong Wei entered the city, he immediately had other thoughts.
And his target is no one else, it is Hangzhou... Sun Mansion.
