Although there were people watching from a distance, no one dared to come close.
Before Qin Xiao came to Beijing, he always thought that the public security in the capital must be extremely strict, and there was no room for local gangsters to cause trouble in the capital.
At this moment, I suddenly realized that Kyoto did not seem to be as orderly as I imagined.
Qiuniang wrapped her robe to cover her mature figure, but when she saw a group of people coming around, although she was holding a kitchen knife tightly in her hand, she still couldn't help but tremble.
"You have the guts, you really have the guts." A man walked slowly over from outside, dressed in Tsing Yi, with a hairless forehead and a shiny bald head. He touched his bald head and said with a smile: "Since I entered the Tsing Yi Hall, over the years,
I have never seen such a talented young man." He stretched out a hand, gave a thumbs up and said, "He is indeed a hero."
Qin Xiao stared at the bald head and sneered without saying a word.
"I, the bald Li, have always convinced people with reason." The bald head looked at Qin Xiao and said, "There are 108 squares in Kyoto, surrounded by three rivers. You are an outsider. After entering the capital, you can see that the rivers in Kyoto are crystal clear?"
Qin Xiao didn't know what he meant and still didn't speak.
"If it weren't for the brothers from Qingyi Hall guarding these rivers day and night, and one million people in Kyoto would spit into the river, the river water in Kyoto would have been turbid." Bald Li sighed: "Of course the government can't do these things.
If the government sends people to guard day and night, the three rivers in Kyoto have countless branches. Adding up the large and small, there are at least thirty or forty rivers. If the government sends people to guard day and night, even a hundred people will not be able to watch it. The salary of a hundred people,
After all, it costs several thousand taels of silver in a year, right?"
"Don't beat around the bush with me." Qin Xiao finally said: "If you fart, just let it go. What are you talking about?"
Bald Li was not annoyed, and laughed and said: "Okay. Brothers, help guard the river in Kyoto. The court will not give you any money, but we all have to support our families, so what should we do? There are four to five hundred cruise ships in Kyoto. Since
We all rely on the river to make money to support our families. Should we also collect some living money? The money is not much, and as long as everyone abides by the rules, everything will be fine. But there are people hiding in Tibet and defaulting on river money. What do you think we should do?
Don't accept it. Once the rules are broken and everyone refuses to pay, are you going to let all the brothers drink the northwest wind?"
Qin Xiao glanced at Qiuniang and understood.
When we got on the boat, Qiuniang said that the gangsters would collect money when punting the boat on the river. Now it seems that the person collecting the money is Tsing Yi Tang.
After a month, the boat girl's business is only worth a copper coin. In a place like Kyoto, a copper coin can barely fill her stomach. If this little money is still paid as a commission, then life will be even more stretched.
"I've made it clear." Bald Li touched his bald head and said with a smile: "Be polite before being messy. Young man, do you understand now why we do this?"
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "I can't control what you do, but bullying others under my nose is too much, and I just can't stand it."
"Originally, if you kowtow to us a few times, this matter will be over, but according to your opinion, we can't reach an agreement." Bald Li sighed: "If that's the case, don't blame us for being rude." With a wink, he
Let the people under your hands rush forward.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao suddenly looked like a cheetah. Before the people in Qingyi Hall could take action, Qin Xiao had already pounced towards Bald Li.
The two were originally four or five steps apart, not too close, but when Bald Li came back to his senses, Qin Xiao was already close in front of him. Bald Li was stunned, and before he could react, Qin Xiao had already hit the bald head hard with a punch.
On Li's abdomen, Bald Li felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and his nose almost ran out. He bent over, and Qin Xiao hit Bald Li's jaw with an uppercut. Two of his front teeth flew out, and Bald Li's burly body stood straight up.
Fall backwards.
Everyone around was stunned.
No one thought that this young man would strike so quickly, and no one thought that at such a young age, he would strike so decisively and fiercely. Most importantly, no one thought that Qin Xiao would dare to take action against Bald Li.
Only when Qin Xiao stepped on the chest of bald Li who was lying on the ground, did everyone in Qingyi Hall come to their senses. All their long sticks were pointed at Qin Xiao. Someone had already shouted sharply: "How dare you attack Mr. Li San?"
If you start, I will skin you."
Others scolded him one after another, but no one dared to step forward easily.
Qin Xiao ignored the yelling and scolding of those people, looked at the bald Li with blood coming from his mouth, and said calmly: "Are you very powerful in Kyoto? I offended you, am I in trouble?"
The smile on Bald Li's face had long since disappeared, and his eyes were full of resentment. He said vaguely: "You... you can't get out... you can't get out of Kyoto, I will... I will break you into pieces."
Thousands of corpses... broken into thousands of pieces...!" As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiao raised his hand and slapped Bald Li's face several times without any courtesy.
The crowd watching from a distance saw Qin Xiao not only knocking down Bald Li, but also slapping Bald Li in public. People who knew Bald Li's background sighed, thinking that this young man was young and energetic, and he was afraid that he would offend the people of Qingyi Hall.
There is really no way to leave Kyoto alive.
"If you want to cut me into pieces, I won't be able to survive." Qin Xiao shook his head and said indifferently: "I don't want to live anyway, so it's just a good idea to have someone to support me, so I can have a companion under Jiuquan.
.....!"
Qin Xiao's tone was calm, but Bald Li clearly saw murderous intent in Qin Xiao's eyes, and his heart trembled, and he quickly changed his words: "This... this is all a misunderstanding, we... we have no grievances."
, you let me go, I... I will let bygones be bygones...!"
"Let bygones be bygones?"
"I, Bald Li Yinuo... A promise worth a thousand gold." Bald Li knew that young people can be as cruel as young people. Once they become cruel, they will ignore the consequences, lest Qin Xiao really die and die with him, so he hurriedly said: "You
Let me go, Qingyi Hall... Qingyi Hall will never embarrass you, and I will do what I say. There are many people here to testify, you... don't worry."
"It seems that you are very sincere." Qin Xiao said: "But you destroyed other people's ships, what should you do?"
"I apologize." Bald Li said simply.
"Sister Qiuniang, come here." Qin Xiao waved to Qiuniang. After Qiuniang came over, he asked: "How much money does a boat cost?"
Qiuniang still held the kitchen knife in her hand and said, "I bought my boat from someone else for five taels of silver."
"Did you hear that?" Qin Xiao said to the bald Li: "Fifty taels of silver for the ship, and lost wages. Of course, your people paid us back when we fell into the water. We were frightened, so naturally we had to pay some money to comfort ourselves.
In addition, if we catch a cold, we might get sick after we go back. If we get sick, we need to see a doctor and take medicine. If the disease is serious, we have to take medicine for three to five months, which is a lot of money." After thinking about it, he said: "This way
Well, just pay three hundred taels of silver."
Bald Li said in shock: "Three hundred taels?" He felt that this young man was really a big talker.
Three hundred taels of silver can buy a big house in Kyoto.
"Too little?" Qin Xiao said, "How about adding more?"
"I don't have that much on me." Bald Li said helplessly, "I'll make up for it first."
Qin Xiao said to the bald Li's men around him: "You, Mr. Li San, are short of money. Whoever has any money should take it out as soon as possible. Mr. Li San will pay it back to you later."
Everyone around looked at each other in confusion. Naturally, everyone heard Bald Li's words and found them inconceivable.
Mr. Li Sanye of Qingyi Hall was not only beaten in full view of the public, but he also promised not to settle the scores with his wife, but now he has to pay three hundred taels of silver as compensation.
In the eyes of the imperial court, Qingyi Hall was nothing, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was something that should never be messed with. A young commoner from out of town actually forced Bald Li to pay for his money, and everyone simply suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
.
Bald Li saw the sharp look in Qin Xiao's eyes again, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up...take out all the money."
Everyone in Qingyi Hall listened to Bald Li's words and had no choice but to take out all the silver they were carrying. In addition to some broken silver, there were also a few small banknotes. Qin Xiao glanced at it and found that the total was less than one hundred taels.
Silver frowned and said: "Isn't your Qingyi Hall very majestic? You can't even get three hundred taels of silver? How much do you have with you?"
Bald Li said with a bitter face: "I don't have any money with me. We... we spend our daily expenses on credit and pay back the debt when the time comes, so... I don't have much money with me.
You keep the money first, and I will return it to you later...I will return the remaining money to you."
"It's pitiful." Qin Xiao shook his head: "I thought Qingyi Hall was so prestigious, but after working for a long time, they are just a bunch of paupers." He said to a man from Qingyi Hall: "Wrap these coins."
Someone found a cloth bag, put all the broken silver and banknotes, took it to the side and put it on the ground. Qin Xiao said: "This counts as one hundred taels of silver for you. For the remaining silver, you can write an IOU. If you
If you turn your back and refuse to admit it, I have the IOU in hand and I will go to Qingyi Hall to ask for it from you later."
Some people just feel that Qin Xiao is a little ignorant. This one hundred taels of silver is hot to the touch, and he is still thinking about the remaining two hundred taels of silver. If he really goes to Qingyi Hall to ask for the account, even if he can come out alive.
, missing arms and legs is inevitable.
Bald Li was annoyed, but had no choice but to find a pen and paper nearby, write out the IOU, and put his fingerprints on it. Qin Xiao confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the IOU, then put it away, took back his foot from Bald Li's chest, and said with a smile: "Li
Third Master, I've spent a lot of money on you." He picked up the cloth bag on the ground and handed it to Qiuniang. Qiuniang hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, I... I'll just take the boat money."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but stuff the bag into Qiuniang's arms. When he thought of something, he turned around and saw that Bald Li had been helped up. He said calmly: "Today's matter is better off now. If you really want to take revenge, I'll wait for you."
I want you to come. Of course, if you don’t come, I will go find you to collect money.” I glanced at Qiuniang, with a chill in her eyes: “But if you want to implicate others because of this matter, even if you hurt a hair of hers
, I guarantee you will die ugly."
Qin Xiao did not mention her by name, but the "she" he mentioned naturally referred to Qiuniang.
Bald Li gritted his teeth, surrounded by several people, and someone whispered: "Third Master, let's kill this son of a bitch."
Bald Li raised his hand and slapped the man, but turned around and left without saying a word. Although everyone under his command also hated Qin Xiao, since Bald Li didn't say a word, no one dared to say anything to Qin Xiao.
He took action and followed Bald Li, and he was gone cleanly in a matter of seconds.
Qiuniang looked at the back of Bald Li and the others leaving, her beauty tense, her eyebrows showing worry, she handed the bag in her hand to Qin Xiao, but she thought of something, opened the bag, took out a few taels of silver and put it away, leaving the rest
He handed it to Qin Xiao again and said: "You should leave quickly and leave Kyoto. These people will not give up. If you don't leave quickly, they will definitely cause trouble for you."
Qin Xiao felt funny in his heart. Qiuniang was worried about her and gave her money to help her escape, but she did not forget to get back the boat money. She seemed to be a person who knew how to live. She shook her head and smiled and said: "Under the emperor's feet, how dare they still do it?"
Can’t you kill me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hoofbeats was heard, and a fast horse galloped over. On the horse was a man in a blue gown. He was about twenty-five or six years old. When he got close, he got off the horse and walked to
Qiuniang looked up and down next to her and asked, "What happened?"
