In the 19th year of Yongtai, in the spring, Hangzhou.
In this blink of an eye, winter has passed and spring has come, and it has been several months since Sun Yixie returned to Hangzhou.
In the past few months, Sun Yixie has never been busy, so busy that he has not even been able to rest for a few days during the Chinese New Year.
Then what is he busy with? Isn’t it just a matter of “Elegant West Lake”?
The starting stage of such a large project is the most difficult. Usually, it can be delayed for three to five months in the process of selecting a site and buying a land. What's more... Sun Yixie is still planning to open a restaurant in a place near West Lake where every inch of land is valuable. There are too many relationships between "unblocking" and "management".
Fortunately, his Sun family is powerful in Hangzhou after all, and Sun Yixie has just gained some reputation in the Jinyiwei, so the government also gave him the green light everywhere.
Finally, on the 20th day of the first lunar month of this year, the construction of Sun Yixie's restaurant officially began.
The wood and stone construction technology of the dynasty was already very outstanding. Even though Sun Yixie proposed the requirement that "the floor height is eight feet (about 2.5 meters) and four floors in total" was quite rare at the time, there was actually no technical problem. As long as your manpower and construction payment could keep up, this project could be completed in as early as three or four months.
However, most projects in those days often could not do these two things, so it was common to delay for a year or two.
Sun Yixie didn't want to delay that long, so he made a big move this time: almost all the best craftsmen and supervisors in the Jiangnan area were recruited by him, and the workers and laborers hired were all young and strong, and I would like to live a life of no matter what the building materials used for building buildings were bought accordingly, and the local ones were transported from other places after they were bought...
In short, it’s not short of money, I just want to get things done.
In this way, more than a month later, in March, the restaurant's project was progressing very smoothly, and Sun Yixie finally got some free time.
But it happened that it was at this time that something happened in Hangzhou.
It is said that a thief called "Red Plum Bree" was rumored to wander to Hangzhou Prefecture at this time.
Who is this person?
Four sentences - Green Forest is despicable and despicable, it is difficult to tolerate tigers and wolves in the world, and they are raped and plundered, and they are useless to be called a person without any conscience.
You said that there is only one gangster whom Green Forest, Jianghu, and the government want him to die. Why is he not dead yet?
It's very simple, his martial arts are good.
How good is it? Let's put it this way... Compared with his peers, he is better than Shen Youran.
Some people may wonder again: Why is a great thief so skilled in martial arts?
Or you can think about it the other way around: Why does a person who has reached the level of a first-class sect leader at the age of thirty become a thief?
This is a long story...
Dear readers, you are also knowledgeable, I believe everyone has seen a story like this:
A young man has been suffering from blood hatred since childhood and lives a life of bullying and displaced.
Until one day, he fell from a cliff/falled down from the bottom of the valley/falled into the water…
Then by chance, he met a peerless master, or picked up the secrets left by the peerless master, the martial arts and mental techniques engraved on the mountain, the scriptures hidden in the ape's belly...
At the same time, he may also find some natural treasures that only grow in this place. After taking a bite, he can increase his skills/potential stimulation/invade all poisons, etc.
In short, after experiencing this adventure, when the young man came out of the mountain, his martial arts were not only invincible, but also reached a level of being able to go back and forth with those top masters.
In the future, the plot is basically the way this young man returns to the world and comes out of nowhere, revenges, revenges, and acts as a hero and righteous person, and shows mercy everywhere, and finally retires to the mountains with one or more confidants.
It’s quite interesting to hear such a story at first, but after reading it too much, it makes people wonder - what would happen if this young man was a bad person?
Or, he doesn't need to be a bad person, he just needs to be a bad person, so what happens?
Hong Wei may be the answer.
Before he was twenty-five years old, he was just an ordinary commoner and made a living by doing odd jobs.
He knew a lot of words in the thesis, because his family was not too poor when he was a child, so his parents sent him to study for a few years, but he stopped literacy.
In terms of martial arts, he has been doing physical work all year round and has the strength, but he definitely does not know martial arts, and it cannot meet the standard of natural divine power of the "heroic man" on the Green Forest Road.
You say he is a good person, but his ideological awareness is not much higher.
You say he is a bad person, and he doesn't have the courage to steal and break the law.
He dared not pay the small money when he picked up the money, but he dared not to rob him when he saw the big money. He dared to sneak a glance at his little wife, but he dared not to tease him; he dared to fight with others, but he dared not to attack him... He didn't count the kindness and simplicity, and he didn't count the treacherous and greedy.
Just like this, he got lucky one day and caught up with the "protagonist treatment".
That day, Hong Wei took a job and helped people run errands. In order to save some travel expenses, he took a shortcut off the road, but he fell off the cliff.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not fall to death, he also found a cave under the valley where a master once lived - martial arts secrets, some; some were all talented and treasures.
Hong Wei lived in the valley for five years, practiced peerless martial arts for five years, and ate treasures for five years. Before leaving, he did not forget to destroy this place to prevent others from getting 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 Luoyang Youth Heroes Club.
When he first came out of the world, he was not very brave. Although he felt that his martial arts skills should be quite high, after all, he had never fought with anyone before, and he was a little afraid and uneasy in his heart.
Therefore, he did not dare to do anything particularly unusual during that period, but he occasionally had conflicts with some mixed fish in the world.
But later... as he fought with others more and more, he became clearer about his strength positioning, so his courage also increased.
There are many things he didn't dare to think about before, but now he can do them, and he is not afraid of being troubled after doing them.
When a mortal gains strength, what do you think will happen to him?
Will he continue to be a mortal and use his power to serve this society?
Yes, I'm taking Peter Parker as an example...and, if you think about it carefully, a person who can make that choice can't be called a mortal, because he is also a "hero" in spirit.
A true mortal, a plain person... the first thing that comes to mind after gaining power is to seek personal gain for yourself - while ensuring your own safety, make full use of this power to make your life better.
In this process, some people can stick to the bottom line for the time being, but some people 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, so he went to find some robbers and bandits to attack the evil people, and at the same time he snatched the silver from the evil people to spend his own money.
This money is spent...it's quite solid.
However, there is a saying that goes - it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When Hong Wei uses the money he has robbed, it will be difficult for him to live a hard life. But there are so many thieves in this world who can support him to loot? So during that time, as long as Hong Wei is tight, he will have a big temper... A person has a big temper, and he will easily have a quarrel with others, and those who can challenge him are mostly people in the world or in the green forest, not a good person... Therefore, Hong Wei treats those who offend him as "evil people".
Later, he simply convinced himself that those who have money are evil people. Isn’t there a saying that “being rich is not kind”? Then if I rob them, I will “rob the rich and help the poor”.
In the matter of "wealth", he convinced himself that "sex" matter is not far away.
Among the stories we are familiar with, the "protagonist" have many confidants, and usually there is a prerequisite - nothing else, it is the word "handsome".
What does it mean to "see Yang Guo for life if he misses his life"? Yang Guo grows into Louis Koo, that "miss" means delay, but if Yang Guo grows into Guo Degang, that "miss" is a misunderstanding.
Hong Wei is not very good-looking and has a vulgar temperament. Since he has been inflated, he has spoken a lot more hostile, which can be said to be more disgusting.
Even if a woman is willing to approach him, she usually has a purpose: she is mostly for money or wants to ask him for things, and it is impossible for someone to come to him.
Although Hong Wei is not very intelligent, he is not stupid either... Take a step back and say that even if he is really stupid, he will naturally be smarter after being deceived a few times. Therefore, he also knows himself and knows that there is no chance for beauty to find in his virtues. He just wants women to go to brothels to get some money.
But after going to brothels too many times, he got tired of it again. He felt that the Fengchen woman was boring and wanted to find that good woman...
At this time, Hong Wei had many lives on his hands, and he had killed all good and bad people. Morality, reputation and so on were not very important to him, so he began to do the flower-picking activities.
It was from that time that people began to call him the "Red Plum Bree".
The so-called red plum is actually a misunderstanding of the name "Hong Wei", and because he started to be active in winter, the word "大" naturally implies his light skills.
As for him, he was quite proud of the nickname and thought it sounded nice, so he later simply customized a bunch of handkerchiefs embroidered with red plum blossoms and sparrows, and left one at the scene after each crime.
At this time, Hong Wei was completely degenerated.
He has regarded all the laws and morals of the world as nothing, and only wine, sex, wealth and energy are left in his eyes. No matter what others do, he just needs to be happy.
Of course, it is not surprising that he will become like this, and it can even be said to be very typical - once a person obtains the ability beyond his or her own nature and ability, he will most likely be slowly corroded...
In this way, in less than half a year, Hong Wei committed more than 20 crimes in various provinces, and most of the victims were either killed by him or later killed themselves. The impact of the "Red Plum Bird" can be said to be extremely bad. Not only did the government issue a sea arrest document, but even Jianghu and Green Forest want to take him.
But how could it be so easy to get people back then? There was no photo or anything else, and the accuracy of the portrait was too low and the reference was limited, so Hong Wei still wandered around and committed crimes unscrupulously.
Finally... one day in March, he came to the Hangzhou territory.
In fact, he had long wanted to come because he had always heard of this beautiful woman from Jiangnan. However, when Hong Wei entered the city, he immediately had other thoughts.
