Yu'er City has well-developed waterways, but Kong Laosan bought a horse on the road and rode it all the way. It was not easy to ferry down, so he went in a big circle, and now he has just arrived here.
Holding the black sail in his left hand and holding the horse in his right hand, he looked around with a sense of wonder. There were many merchants here, and caravans with large and small carriages could be seen everywhere passing through the streets. There were many fish and the like hawking around.
The sound is endless.
Kong Laosan had just taken two steps when a boy who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old came up to him quickly, with a smile on his face, "Is this your first time in Yu'er City? The villain's surname is Qian, and others are
Everyone calls me Xiao Yinzi. I grew up here and can walk from east to west even with my eyes closed. If you need anything in Yu'er City, just tell me and I will give you a few copper coins!"
Xiao Yinzi said, looking longingly at Kong Laosan. To be precise, he should be looking at the black-maned horse behind Kong Laosan that he bought for 600 taels of silver.
Kong Laosan looked up and down at the person in front of him, and saw that although his clothes were clean, they were a little worn out. On his feet were a pair of cloth shoes that were a little too big, and even two toes were still exposed. He didn't care, and just kept it casual.
He nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed my first time to come to Yu'er City. Please tell me about the situation here first!"
Kong Laosan said, flicking a silver pancake, and a silver pancake fell into Xiao Yinzi's hand. Xiao Yinzi was stunned at first, but when he saw the silver pancake in his hand, his face suddenly turned red with excitement.
"Sir, you have asked the right person. My brother is a member of the Shuiyan Gang in Yu'er City. I am very familiar with these situations."
As Xiao Yinzi spoke, he stuffed the money into his arms and started talking incessantly.
"That's about it. Among these gangs, Yifanmen is the strongest. It controls nearly twenty piers of all sizes in Yu'er City. The remaining dozen or so piers have been divided up by other gangs."
As Xiao Yinzi spoke, he seemed to feel a little thirsty. He took out two copper coins from the inner cloth pocket, went to a stall selling pear tea and bought two bowls. One of the bowls was handed to Mr. Kong in a rather flattering manner.
In front of San, "Master, try our pure pear tea. The pear tea from Old Man Liu's place is squeezed from fresh pears cut from the pear tree every morning. It is absolutely sweet!"
Hearing this, Kong Laosan picked up the white porcelain bowl with great interest and took two sips. As expected, he was so happy that he couldn't help but drink it all in two sips. His mouth suddenly felt sweet and greasy.
"By the way, you just said that Yifanmen is planning to attack the other small gangs. Why is this?"
Kong Laosan asked casually with great interest.
Hearing these words, Xiao Yinzi's little face paused slightly, and he sighed twice, "Yifanmen is huge in power. I don't know what has happened recently. It is preparing to develop southward. As a result, several people along the way are not unified."
The wharf managed by Fanmen has become an obstacle to Yifanmen, and he is trying his best to conquer these gangs. There has been a lot of trouble recently, and I don’t know what the situation is now. My brother, the Shuiyan Gang, is also one of them!"
Xiao Yinzi said, forcing a smile on his face, "Master, are you planning to live in Yu'er City for a while or if you are planning to stay for a while, I have a good place to recommend!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
Kong Laosan seemed to have guessed Xiao Yinzi's plan, and asked with a half-smiling look.
"Donglai Inn, not only the rent is cheap, but the food and wine are also pretty good. It's at the end of the flowing water road, not far from here. There aren't many people around. It's very quiet, but the price is a bit expensive!"
Xiao Yinzi said, seeming a little embarrassed, his little face turned red.
"Okay, let's go to that inn. By the way, if I want to find someone, what can I do in Yu'er City?"
Kong Laosan asked, Xiao Yinzi was stunned, and then shook his head, "Yu'er City has a population of hundreds of thousands. If it has specific characteristics, it would be fine. If not, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, unless it is a big force like Yifanmen.
That’s it!”
"oh?"
Hearing this, Kong Laosan's eyes flashed with some thoughts, and he stopped asking any more questions. He seemed to have some plans in mind.
After burning incense, the two came to an inn. The waiter with a handkerchief draped over his shoulder at the door seemed to know Xiao Yinzi. He hurriedly greeted Xiao Yinzi before he came to the door. But Kong Laosan was surprised.
What was surprising was that the waiter looked a little panicked. They didn't know what they said in a low voice, but they saw Xiao Yinzi's face turned pale and he hurriedly came to Kong Laosan and said, "Young master, I'm really sorry. My brother is now
He was injured, I have to go back and take care of him as soon as possible, this money"
Xiao Yinzi said, hesitating for a moment, he took out the piece of silver cake from his waist and handed it to Kong Laosan. However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Kong Laosan, "Go ahead, keep the silver, these few
God won’t come again!”
With that said, he waved his hand, threw the horse's rein into the waiter's arms, and stepped into the inn alone.
"This young man, does he work as a professional or stay in a hotel?"
Xiao Yinzi left in a hurry, and the waiter led Kong Laosan's horse to the backyard. Another young waiter in the store came up to him and asked with a flattering look on his face.
"A guest room, and a table of good food and wine!"
"Okay, just wait a moment!"
After saying that, he ran to the kitchen to prepare things. Kong Laosan casually found a seat by the window and sat down. Listening to some diners around him talking loudly, Kong Laosan quietly drank water and wine without taking any time.
I glanced out the window and enjoyed the long-lost tranquility.
After a while, a table of delicious wine and food was placed in front of Kong Laosan. The chefs in this inn were very skilled, and the food was mostly seafood, which was extremely sweet. It took a long time to drink and eat without any scruples.
No more.
But Kong Laosan had just finished eating half of it when a group of men armed with blood knives stepped into the inn. Before they even entered the door, they shouted loudly, "Housekeeper, here is a banquet of fresh fish. In addition, two jars of 30-year-old mushroom head wine."
, remember, it’s thirty years old!”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Donglai Inn did not dare to neglect, and quickly greeted him with a smile on his face. These men seemed to have just killed a man, and they even smelled of blood. There were more than ten of them, each wearing a
They were all dressed in black, and some even had blood stains on them, which looked very scary.
Some ordinary diners in the inn saw this scene and hurriedly paid and left one by one. Some men dressed as Jianghu people didn't mind at all and seemed not to notice these people. Kong Laosan sat by the window.
, seemed not to have noticed the arrival of these men at all.
The leading man was in his thirties, shirtless, and his muscular copper skin was exposed. He had a beard on his face and hair. He looked like an underdeveloped ape. "Damn it, those bastards from the Shuiyan Gang."
He really has a lot of strength. If Erlang hadn't led his men to capture Kong Da, the leader of the Shuiyan Gang, I'm afraid we would have suffered a lot in this operation!"
The man cursed and found a stool to sit down. He licked a bloody cut on his arm that was cut by an unknown sharp object. He spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. The other dozen or so men around him also groaned.
Ye echoed, which seemed heroic. Kong Laosan, who had been sitting by the window, heard this sentence, and the water in the wine glass suddenly rippled in his hand. His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stood up and faced the group of men.
Go.
"Brother, what did you say the leader of the Shuiyan Gang is called?"
Kong Laosan spoke softly, showing a harmless smile, but this smile looked a bit cold.
At this time, some wealthy people in the surrounding arena also heard that something was wrong in Kong Laosan's tone. The inn suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Kong Laosan and the group of men with a look of watching a good show. Only one person
The man dressed as a middle-aged scholar didn't even look at it, he was drinking and eating by himself, which seemed out of place with the surrounding environment, but no one cared.
"What? Little brother, do you have any objections to our Yifanmen?"
The man was stunned, as if he didn't expect that a boy who looked about ten years old would come to trouble him. He still sat upright and said with a hint of ridicule, holding a glass of water and wine in his hand and drinking it down in one gulp.
Staring at Kong Laosan with interest.
Kong Laosan frowned, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "If my brother can answer my question readily, I will suffer less, otherwise"
"Hey, my hair is not all grown up, and my temper is quite stubborn. How dare you do anything to our Yifan family?"
Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly felt a shock from the tiger's mouth. The steel knife in his hand fell into Kong Laosan's hand at some unknown time. Before anyone around him could react, there was a clang, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the man's entire arm was cut off.
He fell down, and blood sprayed out, staining the clothes of the men around him.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized that the inn suddenly exploded. Among them, the middle-aged scribe who looked like he was in his thirties and was dressed as a wealthy man who didn't care at all suddenly shrank his pupils and looked at
There was a hint of ecstasy and horror in Kong Laosan's eyes.
"Brother?!"
"Master Six, how are you?"
"Kill this kid to death!"
The scene in front of him was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing an explosion. The men seemed to be aroused to their bloody passions. They picked up their knives one by one and chopped Kong Laosan into pieces. But for Kong Laosan,
As far as the third child is concerned, these men are just full of blood. They are not even third-rate warriors. They can only act as thugs for some small gangs and pose no threat to themselves at all.
"snort!"
Kong Laosan snorted coldly. He didn't know when he had a piece of talisman paper in his hand. He twisted it gently, and a ball of fire appeared out of thin air. It circled around slightly. The steel knives in these men's hands seemed to have fallen into the furnace.
Like ice and snow, it melted almost instantly and turned into red molten iron on the ground. Some of the men who were not able to discard it and were stained by these flames did not even have time to scream and turned directly into a pile of ashes.
"Let me ask you, what did you call the leader of the Shuiyan Gang just now? How is he doing now?"
Kong Laosan said coldly. The man in front of him had a broken arm, but he was quite tough. Although his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he remained silent and his eyes rolled around, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to make some demands. Seeing this, Kong Laosan frowned.
, now I have no intention of playing tricks with this man. I threw the steel knife away without thinking, and the man's big head flew directly up.
Looking at the mess all around, just when Kong Laosan was about to leave, the waiter who had been hiding far away bravely said something unfavorable, "The leader of the Shuishuiyan Gang is called Kong Da, and he is also known as Master Tie.
Xiao Yinzi’s brother Xiao Yu’er is his confidant, I know Xiao Yinzi’s family, if you don’t mind, I will take you there right now!”
