"You think you are doing the right thing?" Xia Shang sneered and glanced at Zhang Kui, "So you deserve not to be favored by others, and you are born a beggar. Your own people are bullied by others, and you can't find a way to deal with the bullies of your brothers. People, instead, criticize their own brothers harshly, what can a person like you accomplish?"
Zhang Kui blushed and tried to explain: "What do you know? Luo Laizi's backer is the prefect's arrester. If anyone dares to touch him, the prefect's yamen will arrest you and put you in jail. You will eventually die in an unknown manner. white."
"You mean Luo Laizi knows people in the Yamen?"
"If it weren't for someone from the Yamen, I wouldn't be afraid of him!"
Xia Shang thought for a while: "It was okay if you didn't have a backer before. Now that you have a backer, why are you afraid of him? Or do you think my energy is not as good as that of a head catcher?"
Zhang Kui rolled his eyes at Xia Shang and expressed his deep agreement.
Xia Shang seemed to be angry and said angrily: "Okay! Today I will show you my methods! Do you know where Na Laizi is? Go find him now."
Zhang Kui was a little doubtful: "Are you really going to find him?"
"Why did you lie to me? Lead the way!"
Xia Shang spoke so arrogantly that aroused Zhang Kui's curiosity. It was not clear what Xia Shang was capable of, so he just wanted to test him with Luo Laizi.
Zhang Kui stopped talking and left Zhazi Street with Xia Shang.
I heard that Xia Shang was going to trouble Luo Laizi, and there was a lot of noise in Zhazi Street, but no one really dared to watch the fun. Because Luo Laizi was different from Zhang Kui. He was a complete bully and never unreasonable. In the past, He was running rampant in Zhazi Street, shouting at anyone he saw and giving him a beating, and grabbing money and food. If he was unlucky one day and fell into Luo Laizi's bad luck, there were not a few people who lost their lives. .
Rumor has it that this cripple Luo was a centurion who was a soldier before. He was found guilty of insulting women and had one of his legs broken. He was kicked out of the military camp and later became a beggar. Although he had a broken leg, he was very good at pretending and fighting. He was full of violence and toughness, and his reputation soon spread throughout Yangzhou City.
Now he relied on the yamen to arrest him. With the support of the yamen people, he had no scruples. He transformed from a beggar to a villain who bullies men and women. With a large number of brothers following him, he became a prominent figure in the underworld of Yangzhou City.
Not far from Zhazi Street, walking in the opposite direction of Juxian Inn, is the execution ground that everyone in Yangzhou talks about.
There is more than one execution ground in Yangzhou City, and the people executed in each execution ground are also different. The execution grounds here are all bullies or murderers in Yangzhou City. Because there are the most villains here, they gather the cancer inside and outside Yangzhou City. The purpose of setting up the execution ground here is to shock the evildoers inside and outside the city and make them see their fate clearly.
All the evildoers were executed in the execution ground here, so they were worried about evil spirits. There were black and white stone statues on both sides of the execution ground. They were as tall as three people and were painted with lifelike shapes. They stood left and right, staring at the execution platform. It was very strange. It’s scary. Children in the surrounding houses don’t dare to pass by here. They will be frightened and cry when they see the two statues.
As for why there are black and white stone statues, it is said that the souls of people who died here are taken away immediately to avoid wandering around the world and harming others.
Because this place is special, few people come here.
The two stone statues, which were intended to intimidate evildoers, became symbols of their courage and attracted many villains to gather nearby.
Luo Zizi is also one of them.
The concentration of villains gave rise to another commonplace profession.
That's the casino.
There are not ten but eight casinos here, all lined up one after another, each with its own regulars and backgrounds.
Zhang Kui took Xia Shang to the casino where Luo Laizi often went, and reminded him at the door: "Luo Laizi must be inside, but the people inside are much more powerful than Luo Laizi. It's best not to cause trouble."
Xia Shang looked back at the two stone statues standing on the execution ground not far away, and then looked at the scorching sun above his head, thoughtfully.
Zhang Kui saw that Xia Shang was silent for a long time, and when he was about to ask, he suddenly saw seven or eight more men coming.
However, these people don't look like gamblers or hooligans. Although they are all armed with sticks, their clothes and faces are standard ordinary people. It's just that I don't know why they have angry faces, as if they have bad intentions. Especially the one in front, who is red.
His eyes were as ferocious as a devil's, and he didn't know what kind of hatred he had. It was frightening to see, and the contrast between his expression and his simple clothes was extremely sharp.
Xia Shang and Zhang Kui were pushed away by this group of people. When a few people rushed into the casino, someone shouted: "Where is the cripple named Luo? Come out with me!"
Xia Shang heard the sound and quickly followed in. He thought to himself that this Luo Laizi was really a troublesome person.
The casino was smoky, full of stench, there were all kinds of people, and it was overcrowded.
There were about forty people on the first floor and the bottom. There were private rooms upstairs, and only footsteps could be heard. The seven or eight men who came in first were so aggressive that they quickly occupied an area. The people around them were confused about the situation.
So no one said anything.
The furious man glanced around and shouted again: "Lame Luo!!!"
This voice was hoarse and was by no means an ordinary contradiction.
Perhaps this person's emotions reminded people around him of something. Xia Shang heard people talking around him.
"Isn't that Chen Dali? He ate the Bear Heart Leopard and dared to come here and call him Luo Laizi?"
"Hey! You don't know yet? Luo Laizi fucked Chen Dali's wife."
"real?"
"More than just doing it? I just heard someone said that Chen Dali's daughter-in-law couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself at home. Chen Dali reported it to the official, but no one paid attention."
"Oh! That's why we came here. No wonder even Chen Dali dared to yell at Luo Laizi. It turned out to be the hatred of seizing his wife!"
"Isn't that right? This lame Luo is getting more and more arrogant and doesn't take people seriously at all..."
"Shh, please keep your voice down. Luo Laizi is up there. If he hears us, we won't be able to survive and walk around in circles."
As soon as the discussion ended, a skinny middle-aged man from upstairs poked his head out, glanced down, and smiled: "Ouch! Isn't this Dali? What's wrong? Is your wife okay?"
After listening to the above words, Chen Dali bit his lip with hatred, took a bite of the donated blood, trembled and said bitterly: "Lame Luo! You beast, today I will risk my life to avenge my mother-in-law!"
Seeing Chen Dali's fierceness, Luo Laizi's face darkened, and he suddenly dropped a stick of crutches from upstairs, and jumped down from the stairs himself.
His left leg was obviously deformed and completely disabled, but it did not affect his smooth landing.
Hearing a bang, Cripple Luo landed on one foot, stood firmly, grabbed the crutch and stuck it in his armpit.
To be able to do this, you must be a practitioner with decades of experience!
When everyone saw it, they quickly backed away. They all knew that Luo Laizi was not a kind person and they did not dare to provoke him.
He looked up and down at Chen Dali and his group, and smiled coldly: "Ha! There are a lot of people here! Isn't it just that I slept with your mother-in-law?" (To be continued)
