There is a restaurant called "Baxianju" in the west of the capital city. It has a grand name but a very small layout. Although it is two floors above and below, the place is not very large. There are only two private rooms on the upper floor, and the rest are scattered.

There are only seven or eight tables.

The business looks good, with a bustling crowd, but if you sit down and take a closer look, most of the guests who come in are not good people.

It’s okay in winter, but in summer, many men from the bottom are bare-chested, and you will be able to see the house full of flowered arms here.

The capital city is full of dragons and snakes, the gangsters who collect protection fees, beggars who beg for errands, and even stealing sons and kidnapped children, all of them all become gangs and divide their territory.

The west of the city is the territory of the Qinglang Gang. This restaurant is the private property of Du Laoba, the Qinglang Gang's boss, and it is also a gathering place for many gangsters and gangsters in the gang.

Although he is a bully who opens a shop, he is not a black shop. The business is fair and the food is clean. He also makes good wine "Monkey Wine", which is also well-known in Beijing.

However, the people in several yards in Xicheng knew the details of this place. Anyone who would like to deal with the gangsters would not come here for dinner. So those who came in were either merchants who had just come to another place without knowing it or brothers on the road.

Shortly after the door opened that day, a wealthy man came to the door.

Cui Sanbao, who often runs through this area, brought several customers dressed in wealthy merchants into the store. Several customers asked for the best seats, and the rewarding staff was quite generous.

What's rare is that Cui Sanbao brought someone to him, but did not secretly ask for rewards from the shopkeeper, which made the shopkeeper fall in love with those people.

But soon, he had nothing to worry about, because Du Laoba, the leader of his boss, came in yawning, waved his hand and called a few idle men who jumped up and called "Eighth Master". They didn't have to be too polite, and they yawned all the way.

I entered the private room.

Soon, Du's unique loud laughter sounded in the house.

The shopkeeper exhaled, and it turned out that he was flattering the puppet, and he said that Cui Saner didn't dare to ask for reward.

While he was instructing his friend to be smart and serve him carefully, he hurried to the kitchen and asked the master Zhangshao to show his skills and not to embarrass the puppet.

The dishes were served one after another, and the guy also changed the charcoal fire from the small mud stove in the warm wine. The shopkeeper was on the cabinet and was absent-mindedly fiddling the abacus while paying attention to the movements upstairs.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves from far to near, and when they arrived at the store, the horse was neighing continuously, and the tapping stopped for a few steps, and the riders dismounted one after another.

The shop was curious and stretched out his neck to look. He could only hear a duck-speaking voice unique to a teenager during the voice change period shouting loudly: "This shop is so broken, how can there be delicious food?"

Another young man laughed and said, "You really don't understand! It can be seen that you don't come out to play often! Tell you that good things are often hidden in shabby shops."

One of them left was broken shop, and the other one was broken shop. The guys in the shop were dissatisfied and glared at the door. Some people even felt that this was a provocation. They stood up and showed their arms and sleeves to be beaten up and insulted the Eight Immortals House.

A bastard boy.

However, a group of young men in brocade clothes walked into the store with laughter.

All the young men were dressed well, and there were many strong attendants following behind them, obviously from the pride family.

The men who stood up shrank their necks, sat down silently, and continued to eat. The guys also smiled and came to greet them.

The shopkeeper was originally behind the counter, and he heard the boy talking outside the door without raising his eyelids. When the crowd entered the house, the shopkeeper was shocked by the eyelids. He hurriedly ran out from behind the counter and bowed in groups.

He said hello, and smiled carefully at the young man who came in from the beginning and said, "Why did the gust of wind bring you here today? If you have anything, please send someone to give me an order. I'll send you to the mansion immediately."

The young man waved his hand and said, "It happened to be passed by here. I remember that there were no vegetables in the next house. You must have eaten vegetarian food on the 1st and 15th day of the 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1st and 1

All the tofu skin and tofu pieces come, and use warm pots. There are three jars of monkey wine and a fan of small wild boar meat.”

He said, then turned his head and explained to the two vegetarian boys on the side, "Their monkey wine is made of vegetarian wine, which is made of fruits - otherwise how could it be called monkey wine? Vegetarian wine does not have any obstacles, you can do it.

taste."

This is a few baskets of fresh vegetables!

The shopkeeper felt a headache when he heard it, but he had to bite his back teeth and respond with a smile.

As he was talking, footsteps on the stairs sounded, and Du Laoba came down the stairs in a hurry, with a drunken blush on his face, but he was not drunk in every move. He stood firm and bowed to the end.

He was a little more respectful than the shopkeeper and said, "The second young master is safe. Today, the second young master is precious and has a cheap place..."

The young man laughed and pointed at Du Laoba and said, "Xiaoba, you are here! That's great. Your belly is fat, only oil or no ink, so don't learn from others' stinginess."

The Du Laoba didn't dare to raise his head and said dryly: "You shouldn't show off, you should beat me, you should beat me!"

The young man smiled again and said, "What a beating you! But since you are here, I will eat a big family. I will not pay for the vegetables, vegetables, wine and drinks today!"

Du Laoba actually looked flattered, raised his head and said gratefully: "The second young master is not talking about it! The young master can't even ask for the opportunity to respect the young master! Where should I use the second young master? The young master will give you the

Send it to…”

When the boys saw the man in front of him looked at him in his forties, with a strong figure, a fat face and a bandit-like spirit, he was called "Xiao Ba". He responded timidly, and couldn't help but feel funny.

The older ones were still quite tense and were as arrogant as a noble family, while the young ones couldn't help laughing and showed smiles.

One of the young men in plain clothes with a tender face even said "haha" twice, and their eyes were full of jokes and looked at the man up and down.

Suddenly, the stairs sounded again, but a wealthy businessman came downstairs and smiled and said to the young man in charge, "Prince Zhang," and smiled at the older young man in plain clothes behind, "Rui Ge'er is out today?"

The older boy in plain clothes had already stepped forward and said with a polite manner: "Uncle Lian Si is meeting here? Brother Zhang and I and I went out of the city to have fun at our village."

The head boy also asked with a smile, and then introduced to his friends: "This is the clan uncle of Shen Erpin, Mr. Shen Si."

A few words of hello sounded among the friends. The young man also knew that he was valuable and he couldn't tell the gifts, so he rushed to go over and talked to Du Laoba, saying that he didn't want him to deliver the goods, he just needed to send out one to pick up the goods.

The ox cart followed behind the team.

This teenager in brocade clothes was Shen Rui, Shou Ge, Zhang Hui, You Xuan, Gao Wenhu and others.

Today, Shou Ge had a sudden attack. He didn't say hello before, but suddenly showed up with Zhang Hui at the Shen family. He told Shen Rui that he would go to the suburbs of Shenjia City to play, and then "discuss" the opening of Xiyuan.

.

Shen Rui naturally had to obey his orders. Since the Shen family village was not in the suburbs, if you want to return to the city before dark, you had to set out earlier, so you didn't have time to prepare meat, vegetables and vegetables. You just sent someone to go to the village to greet him, and it was ready on the village. Renovate the things.

Shou Ge was always happy and called out to the Cai brothers and others, gathered a large group of people, and rushed to the outskirts of the city.

When he arrived in the west of the city, Zhang Hui remembered this Eight Immortals House, saying that he could get fresh vegetables and wild boar meat.

It was winter, and all herbs were withered, and fresh vegetables were planted in greenhouses. They were very expensive, and the price was several times higher than ordinary meat, and it was very difficult to make. Even if there were no plates on the table of a wealthy family, everyone was happy. Come on.

Chen Lian had the day-to-day entrusting the Qinglang Gang, and the money was almost the same, so the other party asked to go to the Qinglang Gang territory to have wine according to the rules.

Before Chen Lian was settled, he didn't have to tell Shen Rui every step of the way. Since he had made an appointment today, he went out early.

Chen Lian was also extremely surprised when he met Shen Rui and his party here, and even more surprised that the gangster who had just revealed his evil wolf-like appearance was like a little lamb in front of Zhang Hui.

He couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, thinking that the British Duke's Mansion was indeed extraordinary! He guessed what attitude he wanted to use to treat Du Laoba for a while.

As Chen Lian expected, the group of teenagers rushed out of the city and asked for all the things and left in a hurry. When Du Laoba turned around and asked him to go upstairs, his attitude was completely different.

In contrast to the cold, arrogant and harsh words at the beginning, Du Laoba changed his personal opinion and smiled. While calling the shopkeeper to reorganize the table, he said politely: "It's not that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. !The Fourth Master didn't mention the relationship between the Duke's Mansion. Go back quickly, let's have a good drink and have a good chat."

Chen Lian also smiled and said politely, feeling happy. He thought he had to drink a few more wine and add a sum of money to complete the matter. It seems that he can make a decision today. I believe that the Duke of England will be underestimated. Then, Du Laoba would have much more effort than simply using money to do things.

I just don’t know what his relationship with the Duke of England is. I will be more close to the Duke of England in a while. Chen Lian couldn’t help but think so.

*

The boys there were also curious about the relationship between Zhang Hui and the gangsters.

"Zhang Xiaoer, you still know the rascals, you're so intimate!"

"Look at him so big, with a beard on his face. My second brother even called him "Little" Ba, hahaha, it's ridiculous!"

Shortly after leaving the Eight Immortals House, the teenagers asked questions all the time.

Brother Shou even asked, "Did you see that? When the man reached out and bowed, two fingers were missing in his hand."

Some of them said that they seemed to be missing, while others shook their heads and said they had never paid attention to the man's hand.

Shen Rui couldn't help but nodded secretly and said, Brother Shou was indeed very keen.

Unexpectedly, Brother Shou turned around and asked him, "Why are your clan uncle mingling with such a person?"

Shen Rui smiled bitterly, but when he thought he would meet him by chance, he could only say, "My uncle also has an industry in the capital, so I guess he has something to do with business."

The honest Gao Wenhu looked anxious and said, "Brother Shen, did that man forcefully collect the money from your house? It turns out that people often come to collect it in my shop until I entered the Jinyiwei and their heads My house came to deliver wine, but no one came again.”

The boys from the princess's mansion winked again and said, "Don't be afraid of Brother Chen. Today, the man saw that Zhang Xiaoer was with you, so he was afraid that he would not dare to accept your money, and he was afraid that he would not give you money! ”

"No, if you have such a robbery, just talk to Zhang Er!"

Zhang Huiye said angrily: "That's just a mess. If you have any neglect of Mr. Liansi, Brother Chen just tells me."

Shen Rui didn't expect them to lead this place, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I don't know about the business of the uncle. When I go back and ask, if there is any misunderstanding, I will ask Brother Zhang for help. However, Cai Brother Six said that since he saw us together today, he was afraid that he would not dare to do so."

Everyone applauded and asked about Zhang Hui's gangster again.

Zhang Hui said: "You also know that there are people like this in the city who have become small gangs in private and have nicknames. This guy named Du, who has a group of people and calls him Qinglang Gang, is the leader. He calls him Mr. Du in the way. Eight, but this old eight did not come from the ranking, it was because of his eight fingers. He was quite proud, and the tavern was also named Baxianju."

Seeing that Brother Shou's eyes were shiny and his face was curious, Zhang Hui spoke more and more excitedly, and he kept him in a silence, with a storyteller style, and said in a long voice: "That's right, this person was fond of gambling when he was young, and he loved to make thousands of people, He is very skilled and everyone knows that his hands and feet are not clean, but no one can catch him."

Brother Shou often walks around the market, and has heard some jokes. He laughed and said, "After all, when he was stumbled, he asked someone to grab and chop two fingers!"

Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "No, he is very capable, and no one has ever caught him. Later, he became more capable and brought two apprentices. Naturally, his apprentices also had a thousand, but they didn't have the ability of their masters. The person pressed down and was about to be sold."

Zhang Hui said and gestured, "Du Laoba was also a figure at that time, so he went to the casino to ask for people. How could he give it to the casino, and he made things difficult for him to pay the money. Guess what, he took out a handful without saying a word. The wrist-removing knife, click twice, one knife, chop off two fingers!"

The young men were so impressed that they all said "ah".

Zhang Hui held the tone like a storyteller and said with a slight slight : "It hurts so much, Du Lao Baduan is practicing horizontally, he cut off his fingers and didn't even frown, and he said that he would never frown again in the future. If you gamble, you won’t let your apprentice come out to gamble. As you ask the casino for the fine salt noodles…”

This time, Cai Song rushed to speak: "But you want to sprinkle salt on the wound? I heard that the imperial prison has this trick! It hurts!"

Several young men who were both under the position of Jinyiwei were spitting on him, and he also felt that he was a false position of Jinyiwei. How could he say that the imperial prison was not the case? And the emperor was still there!
