【003】Speaking of Heroes
After seeing the old man bring the wine, Bai Qianqian also smiled mischievously and said: "We can't do without meat when there is wine. Although green onions are good, we can't always use them as a side dish with wine!"
"No!" the old man answered decisively without any hesitation.
"You said I couldn't get it. I brought my boss over and you had to give me some meat. Fortunately, I also treated you to chicken butt! How can you be so picky! Hello, old brother of many years. Can you give me some face?"
The old man was surprised after hearing this, and then looked at Shen You carefully. He originally thought that Shen You was his disciple. After all, Bai Qianqian never said anything about Shen You when he came in, and Shen You was always following him. He looked like a young man when he was drinking wine. At this moment, he suddenly heard from Bai Qianqian that the rather heroic young man in front of him was actually his boss, which really surprised him.
After all, they had known each other for many years, and he knew millions of tempers. He was used to wandering around the world alone, and it was strange for him to suddenly hear that he was being used by others. Shen You did not avoid the old man's gaze, and looked at the old man with a smile.
The old man nodded gently towards him, and asked in a sullen voice: "Isn't it good?"
The old man didn't speak, he just stood up. About a quarter of an hour later, he came out with a small pot of fried green pepper and bacon. He gently threw it on the table and said: "These are my New Year's things. I've brought them all out for you. Let's go." Remember to leave some food money for me when you go there. I am a bicycle repairman, but I am no richer than you guys."
When Shen You saw the green pepper, the red pepper gave off an alluring light, and a scent came to his nose. The old man picked up the enamel jar, gave Shen You a cup and said, "I'm a rough man, and my old eyesight is dim, so I didn't see it." You are still the owner of the mountain, so it’s a crime for me to accompany you.”
This sentence made Shen You's impression of the old man improve a lot. The world attaches great importance to the issue of seniority, and there are many people who rely on their elders to show off their seniority. However, the old man did not shy away from actively saying that he was wrong. He is also a straightforward person.
Shen You picked it up and said softly: "I am young and have only been in the world for a short time. I call you uncle and lend you some wine to toast to you."
Neither humble nor arrogant, his character is as gentle as jade.
The old man didn't show any pretense, he picked up the cup and went straight to Shen You.
Bai Qianqian asked Shen You on the side: "That's right. This wine is called 'Xuejiao' and has been buried on the top of Changbai Mountain for at least ten years. My old brother doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to drink it." After a few sips, he has the style of Liu Ling, and the wine he hid will definitely be priceless if left outside."
Without him having to say anything, Shen You could also feel the difference in this wine. It was as cold as a knife in the mouth and as warm as fire in the stomach. It was absolutely two layers of ice and snow.
"What's your last name?"
"Shen You."
"Oh!" The old man said nothing after hearing this, and his frown clearly proved that he was thinking hard.
"Lu Tianxing's disciple, you think it's weird. Back then, Lu Tianxing tried to find me but didn't do anything, but now I'm following his disciple out to run around..." Although Bai Qianqian said it casually, there was also a hidden secret. A taste of vicissitudes of life.
"Oh! You are a member of a thousand families! When you come to Quancheng this time, are you going to stay in a hotel or go to a hotel?"
"If it's just for a meal, I don't have to lead you to your nest. Naturally, I want to prepare to stay here for a while!"
"Stay here? I can tell you that Quancheng is basically monolithic, and everyone is fixed. If you want to force your way in, be careful that you will be suppressed by all the forces in Quancheng. You will lose everything."
Shen You didn't speak at the side, quietly listening to the old man and Bai Qianqian talking, but he looked at the old man's eyes with more and more attention. This man is so strange. At first, it seemed that he had some ability, which was average, but After we started dating, it became deeper and deeper, like a lake that seemed to be crystal clear but hard to reach.
"It's nonsense. If you can steal a chicken just by throwing a handful of rice, why would I come to you? Fortunately, you have stayed in Quancheng for so long. You are considered a local snake. Who can be considered a hero in Quancheng? ."
After hearing this, the old man looked at Bai Qianqian with a somewhat thoughtful look, and shook his head gently. I can't say this, and I can't say this either.
"Eh!" Bai Qianqian was a little surprised, but then he said: "Okay, don't be so pretentious, let me tell you, how about you comment?"
Then, without asking the old man if he agreed, he said: "The Zeng family has deep roots, using officials to protect business, and using business to assist officials. Whether it is a son-in-law or a son, the old man of the Zeng family can arrange a way out. This can be considered a family, right?" "
"Mr. Zeng seems to have played a good hand. If his younger son's mind was not on the official career at all, he would definitely help his younger son up. However, this is also the biggest variable in the Zeng family. He protects business with officialdom and protects business with officials. The eldest son-in-law is the deputy governor of Shang, and the second son-in-law is also a powerful figure in the public security system. The younger son protected by two big trees is the boss of the largest real estate developer in Quan City. With the combination of government and business, outsiders can't see anything fishy, but If the younger son becomes a black man, he will naturally not fade away easily. This became even more obvious after the death of Mr. Zeng, so the Zeng family cannot be counted."
Shen You frowned tightly when he heard the old man say that the youngest son of the Zeng family had a dark background. This became more obvious after the death of the old man of the Zeng family. When he had nothing to do in Yanhai City, he chatted with Zhang Haotian and looked for Qiao Wu. The disease is very clever, and every day before going to bed, he will carefully read the "Revelation of Officialdom", which makes Shen You even more afraid of the government forces. This is like a high-voltage wire. If it is not within his range, you can jump around at will. , once a single person touches his bottom line, he will naturally be scattered by his flesh and blood.
"Then after Yang Zhuma's death, Zou Qingmei, who tried to stir up his remaining power, is one of them, right?"
"If you said it was Yang Zhuma, I might still barely count half of it. After all, this man single-handedly followed the old Dai family's lead and established his own power in Quancheng. If it weren't for the old man of the Zeng family before he died, To pave the way for his descendants, he must be dealt with. If he were today, he would definitely have a strong voice in Quan City."
Having said this, the old man changed the topic, shook his head slightly and continued: "As for the Zou Qingmei you are talking about, she is just a person trained by Yang Zhuma, and she cannot be regarded as a successor in a strict sense. I do not deny her skills and brains. , but when it comes to being a hero, she is indeed a little short of it."
"Well, that's right. Apart from these two families, there's nothing else we can do in Quan City!"
"Listen, it's wrong again! Do you know that now the prince of the Zeng family and Zou Qingmei are engaged in industry and have bleached themselves, so who of the gangsters in Yanhai City has the right to speak?"
"What's the point of this! To put it bluntly, we are still members of the Zeng family and Zou Qingmei!"
"In addition to the two of them, there is also the Six-Fingered Thief King."
"Six-fingered Thief King? Is this old guy out? Shouldn't he still be in the prison in the northwest?" Bai Qian asked with a little fear, changing from his initial leisurely attitude.
"Staying there is because he wants to. If he wants to leave, who can do anything to him!" the old man sighed leisurely.
After a moment of silence, he continued: "Actually, his more than ten years in prison were not in vain. He recruited all those who had some skills in that cell. After he came out, he came to Quancheng, where he was born and raised.
The fallen leaves have returned to their roots.”
"What is he doing now?"
"He! The tourist attractions in the southern mountainous area that Quancheng is vigorously developing now belong to him. It is said that he was born there. When he was a boy, his parents were poked in the back because of his three hands. Later he became rich.
He smiled in front of him but said everything behind his back, but now a lot of money is thrown at him, and the cadres in the province worship him as the God of Wealth, which can be regarded as a disguised form of honoring his ancestors."
"So, Quancheng now has three pillars?"
"What are the three pillars of opposition? Each of the three families plays their own role and has a tacit understanding with each other. From time to time, some Jianghu people like to come here. Now even you are here. I really don't know what good things are hidden in Quancheng that make everyone miss it so much.
."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. I don’t know why, after hearing this sentence, Shen You inexplicably thought of the people who snatched the jade pieces from Lu Fang in Yanhai City, even though in the end Shang Yingxiong played a trick of sneaking into Chencang and took away all the jade pieces.
I left it to him, but when the old man said that he didn't know what people in the world were thinking about, Shen You suddenly contacted Yu Pian.
"Okay, it's useless to tell you this. We are here for business! Why don't you go out to have fun too? Even I came out!" Bai Qianqian looked like a treacherous man seducing an innocent little lolita, Lian Shen You.
It was terrifying to watch.
Sure enough, the old man refused very directly and completely. "Okay! When you are about to die, I will definitely come out and take a look."
"Drink, drink! The 'snow cellar' that has been treasured for so many years!" Bai Qian quickly changed the subject.
In a winery in the center of Quancheng City, a group of amiable middle-aged uncles smiled at the very beautiful girl in front of them and said: "Okay, okay, I've got everything back. I'll find someone to help you pay."
That young man, thank him properly."
"Humph, just forget about it when you get the things back?" The girl's beautiful face was shrouded in a trace of frost.
"Luo Shu! It's not that my uncle doesn't want to save face for you. You also know that your father putting me here is actually a hidden chess piece. The person standing behind those people is the Six-Finger Thief King. Your father also knows this.
, Besides, the things are back, it’s not a big deal, let’s just put them away for now!”
The girl was exactly the one Shen You met on the train, but no one thought at that time that she, who could act coquettishly and mischievously with the man who owned a winery in front of her, would actually come by an ordinary train.
It was already past one o'clock in the morning when he left the old man's house. Shen You naturally saw Bai Qianqian put the money in his arms into the old man's quilt while the old man went to relieve himself.
After going out, Shen Youqing asked who this person was.
Bai Qianqian said with a smile: "Follow your master. Your master must have told you about the people in Jianghu. In the northwest back then, this man was considered a good man. He used a two-handed sword. There were only a few who could compete with you at that time.
The person who can fight with thousands of fire generals for hundreds of rounds without losing..."
When he said this, Shen You had already thought of the person in his mind.
Northwest Road, two-handed sword, unparalleled domineering.
