Chapter 16: Threats
When Xiao Cheng walked into the small courtyard behind Tiangong Iron Art Workshop, he immediately saw a figure kneeling in the middle of the courtyard. Old Han Zhong was still on one side, tinkering with his iron-making furnace, and saw Xiao Cheng walking over.
, Han Zheng quickly took a few steps forward.
Nodding at Han Zheng, Xiao Cheng continued to move forward and walked to the side of the kneeling man. His footsteps paused slightly. The man immediately fell to the ground and lay prone on the ground.
Xiao Cheng snorted coldly, ignored the person, and walked straight into the house. Han Zheng glanced at Sun Guaizi, who was lying on the ground with white hair exposed, sighed, shook his head, and followed him in.
Sitting in front of the window, he could just see Sun Guaizi who was still kneeling. Xiao Cheng took the bowls and cans handed over by Han Zheng, drank them all in one gulp, put the tea bowl on the table, and said with a smile
: "It's almost autumn, and the weather is still extremely hot."
"Even if it's autumn, there are still twenty-four autumn tigers!" Han Zheng said with a smile: "Erlang, Sun..."
"Where did the hammer go?" Xiao Cheng interrupted the other party's words and asked.
Han Zheng was a little helpless and said: "Tie Hammer went to deliver the goods. The Ding family tailor shop at Yongtai Gate in Beicheng ordered a batch of special tools worth hundreds of dollars. Let Tie Hammer deliver the goods and bring the money back.
"
"With the hammer following, it's safe." Xiao Cheng glanced at Sun Guaizi outside, "But even if it's on the East Water Gate, is it safe?"
Han Zheng smiled and remained silent.
Dongshui Gate is the lower water gate of Bianhe River. The wealth from the southeast and Shanze Department Store are continuously transported into the city through this gate. This is actually a large waterway wharf located at the east gate of the capital. It can also be said that
It is a large cargo transfer station. The prosperity here can be seen, and this is also where Sun Guaizi's most important power is located.
In order to help Sun Guaizi win this place, Xiao Cheng did a lot of work.
Xiao Cheng's voice was loud, and Sun Guaizi outside could naturally hear it clearly. At this moment, his body was lowered even lower, almost falling to the ground.
Han Zheng couldn't bear it after all. In any case, Sun Guaizi was almost sixty years old. He was lying on the ground like this, with his white hair really eye-catching.
"Erlang, it's hot outside, and Sun Guaizi is getting older."
Xiao Cheng glanced at Han Zheng and said calmly: "Old man, you are kind-hearted. You are grateful for his old age and are afraid that he will not be able to bear the heat, but you don't know what the situation of those who were harmed by him is like?
"
Han Zheng immediately shut up.
"Get up and come in to talk!" Xiao Cheng shouted out the window.
Outside, Sun Guaizi kowtowed heavily on the ground again, then got up, dragged one leg, and limped into the house. However, the place where he lay outside was soaked with sweat.
A big piece.
"Please Erlangjun, please save the life of the old slave's son." After entering the house, Sun Guaizi knelt down again, with tears in his eyes and a sad voice.
Xiao Cheng stared at Sun Guaizi in front of him.
The so-called evil spirit appearing on the face probably refers to people like Sun Guaizi. Even though he has a sad and anxious look on his face at this time, the sinister look on his face is still a glance.
You can see it.
This man was a strong man in the army when he was young. Even though he is now old and has lost one of his legs, you can tell just by looking at his body and big hands that even an ordinary man, three or two, can do it.
It's a no brainer.
Although he looked like a pitiful lamb in front of Xiao Cheng at this moment, in front of ordinary people, Sun Guaizi was like a living king of hell. Most of the lower-class forces in the East Gate were now controlled by this person.
"Are you short of money?" Xiao Cheng asked coldly.
Sun Guaizi trembled and quickly shook his head.
"Two years ago, you took over the Dongshuimen area and expanded your entire power to Dongcheng. Your annual income is no less than one hundred thousand guan." Xiao Cheng closed his eyes and said slowly: "Counting all your expenses,
The annual net income is around 40,000 to 50,000 guan. Do you know how much my father’s annual salary is as a deputy envoy to the Third Department and a high-ranking official?”
Sun Guaizi lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Cheng chuckled: "It's only more than 100,000 guan a year. Our family is considered a high-ranking official and one of the few in Bianjing City. All other incomes add up to only about 100,000 guan.
Are you still dissatisfied with anything?"
"Old slave is very satisfied, very satisfied." Sun Guaizi whispered.
"Since he is very satisfied, why does Sun Man still want to do those harmful things?" Xiao Cheng suddenly slammed the table and said angrily. "I asked people to go to Kaifeng County to inquire about it. Hehe, it's amazing. Just showing it.
The things on the table are enough to make Sun Man lose his head several times."
"It's the old slave's fault for neglecting discipline. Erlang, the old slave has been miserable all his life. He only got such a child after he was forty years old. He can't help but indulge a little. The old slave knows that he is wrong. Please help Erlang. Please save him."
Erlang looked at the old man's face and said, "Save me, this child." Sun Guaizi's tears flowed down.
Xiao Cheng closed his eyes and said after a long while: "I didn't bother to care about what you did in the past. After all, you were seeking life and survival at that time. But three years ago, I accepted you into my sect and warned you.
, there are some things that you absolutely cannot do and are not allowed to do. Do you think that I am young and have forgotten what I said, or do you think that I talk like farts? "
"I don't dare, old slave! It's just children who are ignorant and act recklessly." Sun Guaizi kept saying, his face turned pale.
The man in front of me is young, but his scheming and methods are all the best. When Xiao Cheng found him through Han Zheng three years ago, Sun Guaizi was at best a big gangster, living in Bianjing City.
For most of my life, I relied on a vicious aura and a life-threatening cruelty to barely stand firm, but that was all.
However, since he followed Xiao Cheng, this young man who was only thirteen years old at the time, started one plan after another, one trap after another, and invested real money and even manpower, which made Sun Guaizi become a master in just three years.
Within a short period of time, he controlled the underground forces in the Dongcheng area and became a well-known figure in the underworld.
At first, he thought that Xiao Cheng was just following Xiao Yu's orders. How could a thirteen-year-old boy come up with such methods? But three years later, he discovered that everything was really the handiwork of the boy in front of him.
More importantly, this time his son Sun Man committed an offense because Kaifeng County did not want to attack him. After all, he usually fed everyone here. Anyone who wanted to deal with him might have
It's the young man in front of me.
Because I committed a taboo.
He actually wanted to find out the details of this young man.
What is beyond Xiao Cheng's face is obvious. The curious Sun Guaizi wants to know what Xiao Cheng wants to do. Besides himself and Han Zheng, what other secrets does Xiao Cheng have? Naturally, Xiao Cheng, who was born in a noble family,
There is no shortage of money. How could such a high-ranking young man condescend to deal with a rotten person like himself? Sun Guaizi knew that a young man from a middle-class family, even if he took a
When I look at someone like me, I am afraid that my eyes will be stained.
But now, this person actually came to support him personally and allowed him to do so many things according to his plan. What on earth did he want to do? Sun Guaizi, who was very curious, was really puzzled.
Unexpectedly, he had just made a start, and severe punishment came on him, and he found his weak spot right away.
If Xiao Cheng was really furious because of what his son had done, Sun Guaizi didn't believe it at all. Would a noble person like Xiao Cheng really care about the lives of ordinary people? Such a thing would never happen.
In the city of Bianjing with a population of 10,000, how many things happened that day? Who is in charge of it?
But this kind of thing cannot be said.
If you really want to confess and tear off the fig leaf from both sides' faces, I'm afraid that Xiao Cheng will turn his back and deny you, and you will be really doomed and unable to stand up.
Even though Sun Guaizi was always fierce and fierce, now in Bianliang City, everyone called him a member of the military, but in front of a noble son like Xiao Cheng, he was still just a dog that obeyed orders.
If the dog owner is not happy, he can change his dog at any time.
So he could only bite the bullet and say that his son was ignorant, only talk about the old friendship with the Xiao family in the past, and never get involved in anything else. And Sun Guaizi also expected that Xiao Cheng was just threatening him. No matter what, he
It’s still a useful dog!
Xiao Cheng sighed, stepped forward, helped Sun Guaizi stand up, and his tone suddenly slowed down.
"Uncle Sun, you are grandpa's old subordinate. The only ones who are still alive in Bianjing are Grandpa Xu, Mr. Han and you. I am really sad that Sun Man did such a thing.
!”
"Please Erlang look at the old man's face and save the child! He can only save the child. The old slave's life can be taken by Erlang whenever he wants."
The unexpected turn of events made Sun Guaizi happy in his heart, but his face became even sadder.
"Sun Man, you have to discipline him well. I saved him once, is it possible that I can save him two or three times? Li Xin, come in." Xiao Cheng said.
Li Xin stepped in from outside the door, took out a pile of things from his arms, and handed it to Sun Guaizi.
Sun Guaizi took this stack of dossier-like things doubtfully. Although he didn't know much about literacy, he could still see it clearly clearly when he read it. Moreover, this was not an official article, but some specific materials. He only glanced at it a few times.
, his hands and feet were already soft.
Xiao Cheng took back these files from Sun Guaizi, shook them, and handed them to Li Xin, saying: "Look, this is the good thing Sun Man has done in the past two years. I will have these files brought from Kaifeng County."
All the files have been pulled out."
"Thank you Erlang, thank you Erlang."
Sun Guaizi knelt down again with a bang and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Go ahead!" Xiao Cheng waved his hand and his tone became calmer: "Do things carefully and take care of your son carefully. If he does those harmful things again, I won't tolerate him."
(I just changed my contract status and received generous rewards from two book friends "I regretted that year" and "20210201003700907". I was really flattered. There were also dozens of monthly votes cast by book friends. Thank you very much for the shooter. No.
