Past Events in Jianghu
Past Events in Jianghu
When Lu Liuliang asked, Li Weishui's face turned red and he became embarrassed. He didn't read much, and he had only been exposed to this kind of ancient literature knowledge. He didn't know much. If he talked about worldly feelings and stock futures, then he could still catch up.
In one or two sentences, he really didn't know anything about the romantic style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the style of writing.
He said sheepishly: "Sorry, I don't have much education. I just feel that this word has a profound meaning, but I can't tell what it is. It made Professor Lu laugh."
Lu Liuliang didn't say anything when he saw this, he just smiled and said, "Brother Li is quite honest."
"Brother, this sentence is taken from Qu Yuan's "The Fisherman". It probably means that the water in the Canglang is clear and clear, and can be used to wash my hat; the water in the Canglang is turbid and turbid, and can be used to wash it.
Wash my feet. It means that saints will change themselves and change society due to the changes of time."
Xiaorou saw her brother was embarrassed and hurriedly explained to him.
After listening to Xiaorou's explanation, Li Weishui's heart moved, as if he had guessed some of Lu Liuliang's thoughts. He smiled and said to Lu Liuliang: "It seems that this is the motto that Professor Lu uses to motivate himself?"
Lu Liuliang smiled and said: "Haha, what motto is just written for fun. By the way, what are you here for today?"
Originally, Lu Liuliang thought that Li Weishui came today to learn about things in Shenglong Hall, but when he saw that he had brought two beauties with him, he didn't know whether his guess was accurate, so he asked again.
Hearing Lu Liuliang's question, Li Weishui also knew that it was a bit disappointing to bring two girls to talk about Jianghu affairs, so he said: "Haha, I just want to visit the principal of my sister's school. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
"Professor Lu, I was very interested in what you said in class last time about Jianghu Fengyunlu, but what you said in class last time was too short. I wonder if you can tell us more."
Hua Qiuyue looked at Professor Lu and said excitedly.
Lu Liuliang glanced at the three of them and smiled and said: "Haha, okay, Cao Cao used to have wine and talk about heroes. Let's have a cup of tea today to talk about the past!"
They chose a comfortable position on the sofa to sit down. Lu Liuliang brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for each of them. He filled a cup himself. After a slight sip, he thought for a while and said with a sense of reminiscence: "That's right.
In the last class, what did I say? Oh, I said that there were many gangs in those days, and they divided their territories. It was very lively, and people would be hacked to death on the streets at every turn, and the police could not control them at all. It was an era shrouded in darkness.
, an era where lawlessness was king, and then in that era, three young students cut off chicken heads, burned yellow paper, imitated Liu Guanzhang, and became sworn brothers in Taoyuan." At this point, he paused and asked kindly: "
You still remember their three names."
Hua Qiuyue said excitedly: "I know, I know, their names are Zhang Pengzhan, Ye Erwen and Song Yufei. Did I remember correctly?"
Lu Liuliang smiled and praised: "You remember correctly, you remember it very clearly."
After saying that, he looked at Li Weishui meaningfully.
Li Weishui also knew that Lu Liuliang's words were meant for him, so he couldn't help but listen carefully.
"At that time, there were the so-called five gangs, three associations and two alliances in I City. They could still be named, but there were countless small gangs and factions that couldn't be named. They were grabbing land, collecting protection fees, and there were swords and swords all the time.
, there are often people bleeding on the streets, and people usually don’t dare to go out after the sun goes down. When it gets dark, the whole i-city looks like a dead city, it’s very chaotic anyway. The three of them have average abilities, and have been squeezed by various forces in the underground world many times.
Bullying, initially the purpose of their sworn alliance was to protect themselves from harm, but the subsequent changes were beyond their imagination. Among them, Zhang Pengzhan was the oldest and the best at fighting. At that time, he was the one who protected his two younger brothers and chopped them off on Seventeenth Street.
Famous and unparalleled in the limelight."
Lu Liuliang recalled the past and said.
"Wow, how many fights has he had? He must be very powerful, right?" Hua Qiuyue asked in admiration with starry eyes.
Lu Liuliang smiled and did not feel disgusted by Hua Qiuyue's nymphomaniacs. He only said: "Zhang Pengzhan has quite the habits of an old wanderer. He values loyalty and neglects life and death. He goes out of his way to save his friends and often helps those in need.
Brother, so his reputation in the world grew day by day, and finally attracted the attention of a big shot in the world."
When Li Xiaorou heard this, she also asked with interest: "Who is this gangster?"
Lu Liuliang thought for a while and said: "Some said he was a senior of the Five Tigers Gang at that time, some said he was a big boss of the Triads, some said his surname was Chu, and some said his surname was Chen. The specific name is no longer available. This big boss
First, he adopted Zhang Pengzhan as his adopted son, and later brought him in, made him a small leader in the triad society, and even let him marry his granddaughter. At that time, he felt that this kind of life was enough, but who
I once wanted to make waves out of flat ground."
As expected, Lu Liuliang was a university professor who told stories in a cadence and step by step, which made the two little girls' hearts tremble.
Seeing him stop, Hua Qiuyue asked hurriedly: "What happened next? What happened next?"
Lu Liuliang continued: "This man, if he is too good, it will inevitably make people jealous. Later, Zhang Pengzhan's power became bigger and bigger. This tree is more beautiful than the forest, and the wind will destroy it. The people in the gang are jealous of him and give him everything.
To stumble and frame him. He remembered the kindness of the old gentleman and tolerated everything, but in this world, if you step back a foot, others will take a step forward. If you hold back, others will think you are easy to bully. In the end, he turned such a person
Honest people are in a hurry."
As he spoke, Lu Liuliang took a sip of tea and sighed, "If it weren't for this, why would the Triads in I City be where they are today!"
Seeing that Hua Qiuyue and Li Xiaorou looked nervous, Lu Liuliang said without hesitation: "Back then, the big guys from the Triad Society not only had Zhang Pengzhan turn over the most profits, but they also had the heaviest tasks. Anyone who fought hard could
Everything was left to his cousin. Although he was resentful, he still remembered the old man's kindness and handled it honestly. However, the people in the triad society became more and more excessive when they saw that he was easy to bully.
The pressure almost made him breathless, and even the brothers under him became more and more indifferent. Finally, Zhang Pengzhan broke out to teach at the old man’s birthday banquet, and established his own business, which later became Shenglongtang.”
"Professor Lu, didn't you say that Zhang Pengzhan still has two brothers? What did they think when Zhang Pengzhan left home to teach?"
Li Weishui suddenly interrupted.
Lu Liuliang glanced at Li Weishui and said with a smile: "Speaking of Zhang Pengju's two brothers, Ye Erwen also has the same righteous and heroic personality as Zhang Pengju. He was Zhang Pengju's right-hand man and he broke into the world with him. Back then, Zhang Pengju was
When the big bosses of the Triad Society were suppressed and breathless, it was Ye Erwen who kept beside him, constantly encouraging him to set up his own business. In the end, it was because at the old man’s birthday party, he was beaten by the Sanhe Society.
When other members of the church made things difficult for him, Zhang Pengju stood up for him and announced his own establishment."
Li Weishui nodded and asked carefully: "It seems that their relationship is very strong."
Lu Liuliang sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't you? I can't even remember who saved whose life so many times when I was licking blood from the knife. How can such a relationship not be strong? It's a life-long friendship."
"What about Song Yufei?" Li Weishui asked.
"Song Yufei is the youngest among the three, and he has always been frail and sick. His two brothers take good care of him. Although he can't kill on the streets, he is flexible, intelligent, and has a far-sighted vision.
.However, unlike his two older brothers who were keen on political affairs, he was very indifferent to these. He even had an instinctive disgust and aversion to Zhang Pengju's work of killing people on the streets and collecting protection fees. Therefore, he rarely participated in Zhang Pengju's work.
, he only occasionally paid attention when Zhang Pengju encountered problems. At that time, Zhang Pengju started his own business. Zhang Pengju had something unexpected happen to him. Song Yufei was studying abroad at the time and had no way of knowing. Later, when he came back, he found that the facts had been established, so he had nothing to say.
.”
"Then what happened? What happened after they established their own business?" Li Xiaorou continued to ask.
Lu Liuliang said: "It was taboo at that time to break away from home and set up one's own business. Naturally, the Triads would not give up. Moreover, his territorial snobbery was the most profitable place for the Triads. How could the Triads give up? So the Triads would not give up.
He would call on all the gangs and factions in the rivers and lakes to attack. Seeing this, those people in the rivers and lakes naturally followed the trend and started making noises, hoping to bite some pieces of fat out of Zhang Pengju's mouth. For a time, the newly established Shenglong
The Tang is almost a public enemy in the world, and everyone wants to kill it. Almost every day there are armed fights on the territory of Shenglong Tang. The group of people who followed Zhang Peng to bring him out were also panic-stricken."
"Ah, can Zhang Pengju be so powerful that he can't beat him?" Hua Qiuyue asked with heartache.
"Well, when the manpower is finally exhausted, Zhang Pengju is also the stupid young man he was back then. He also has a family. With a family, he has worries in his heart. Naturally, he will not be as desperate as before. Besides, even if he is alone
So what if he can kill ten of them? If there are tens of thousands of people from various gangs and factions united together, can't he kill them all?"
"Then what happened?" Li Xiaorou asked with concern;
Lu Liuliang also smiled excitedly and said: "Later, Song Yufei made an idea and invited various factions from all walks of life to have peace talks. At that time, his idea was to give half of Shenglongtang's territory and business to let them go and negotiate with the three parties themselves.
Let's fight for it together, and then Shenglongtang can temporarily avoid the sharp edge, stay in a corner, and recuperate to survive this period of silence."
"Ah, if we have to take out so much territory and business, it will have a great impact on Shenglong Hall, right?" Hua Qiuyue couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Lu Liuliang nodded and continued: "Yes, if Song Yufei's words are followed, Shenglongtang will be in a very weak state for a long time. Will other gangs collect money and come to chop you again?
