"... Delong has some knowledge of the Xia family's customers." Li Rufeng said, "Shopkeeper Wu will go back and check it out. There will definitely be news tomorrow."
"The customers of Shanxi House are either rich or noble. The nobles have always been very clever. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the exact culprit." Liao Sanniang was not as optimistic as he was. "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the real culprit without some extraordinary means."
…”
"Don't you think..." Li Rufeng knew this colleague quite well. It was probably because the woman was involved in the world and could not be established unless she was more ruthless than ordinary people. Liao Sanniang was famous in the capital station for being decisive and ruthless.
"Just think about it." Liao Sanniang smiled, "The manager in Shanxi's house is not an ordinary person. He can't do anything unless the situation is broken."
At this point, both of them felt that their future was bleak. The other party was very thoughtful, and probably knew the path they were pursuing, and had cut it off early.
"I don't know what regulations the center gave us." Li Rufeng said.
On the day of the incident, they sent a joint emergency telegram to report the situation to the "center" and request instructions. However, so far, in addition to a reply confirming the receipt of the telegram, they have only been asked to "stabilize the situation and report daily."
instructions.
Thinking about it, the loss of a senator was also a big deal for Lingao. It would have to be discussed before a result can be achieved.
Liao Sanniang frowned, made a fist with her right hand and lightly punched her left hand, and said: "It seems that we should keep calm."
A scream of "Ah" came from a side room in the backyard of the escort agency. After a while, the door creaked, and a man in his late fifties walked out of the door. He was the big man of the escort agency.
Old Feng had a cigarette butt in the corner of his mouth, and the flame had reached the filter. Old Feng wiped his hands with a cloth, and a strong smell of alcohol came from the cloth.
Xiao Bazi hurried forward to greet him and said: "Uncle Feng, are you ready?"
What the escort agency sells is martial arts, and people are the greatest wealth. The interpersonal connections are extremely close, and everyone calls each other senior brother, junior brother, senior uncle, and senior uncle.
Old Feng Ai said "Yeah" indifferently, picked up a clean stone and sat down, sucked in the last puff of the cigarette butt, and then reluctantly spit out the filter.
When Xiao Bazi saw it, he reached out to touch his arms, took out a cloth bag, opened it carefully, and found three crumpled cigarettes inside. He presented the cigarettes and said respectfully: "Uncle Feng, please continue.
superior."
When Lao Feng saw it, he immediately smiled. He first took two of them and put them between his ears, then picked up one and put it under his nose. He closed his eyes and sniffed hard, looking intoxicated.
After a long while, Old Feng opened his eyes and asked: "Holy ship?"
Xiao Bazi said: "Yes, the chief escort said that you won't cough if you smoke this."
Lao Feng asked again: "Where did it come from? You don't smoke?"
Xiao Bazi shook his head and said: "I won't smoke because the chief escort rewarded me. Sanniangzi said this smoke has nails in the mud and leaves that can pierce the lungs."
Lao Feng obviously sneered at this unfounded rumor and said: "There are many people in Song Dynasty who smoke, and I have never heard of any smokers getting their mouths pricked. Besides, I haven't even eaten a few meals, so I might ask someone to chop it up tomorrow."
My head is afraid of being stuck in the mud."
The match was struck and lit, then shaken out, and the red cigarette butt lit up again, flickering like a red star.
After smoking cigarettes, the relationship between the two immediately became much closer.
Old Feng said: "The injuries of those three people are just from the mortar. They are no different from good people when they are reattached. The bones of the three thieves are very hard and difficult to reattach. We can send them away later."
Xiao Bazi squatted down, hugged his knees, and raised his face and said: "Uncle Feng, I still have time, let's talk about Lingao?"
Old Feng took a puff of cigarette like a god, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "There's nothing to talk about. I can't say that Laigao is good. It's just a place where you can eat every meal."
Xiao Bazi smiled and said: "I don't believe it. There is such a magical place, why do you come to Beijing?"
Old Feng said with a smile: "Although Lingao is good, if you don't work for a day or eat for a day, you won't be able to have a moment's leisure. If you work for a day and eat for a day, you will never starve to death. But if you want to eat well, you will not be well clothed."
It’s not easy. I only have this life as my capital. I come to this capital to fight with others, and the whole family can only eat fine rice and fine noodles in Lingao.”
Xiao Bazi asked: "Uncle Feng, are you good at martial arts?"
Old Feng smiled slyly and said, "Although my martial arts skills are mediocre and I can't be a bodyguard, I can set bones and heal bruises. I have some experience in martial arts and have a high subsidy when I am stationed abroad. Although I am only here to be a clerk, I have a lot of money. I am a waiter."
Chief escort, let’s start with you.”
Xiao Bazi was silent for a while and said: "Uncle Feng, Sanniang said she would take my brother and me to Lingao, but is it true?"
Old Feng said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. There is a shortage of people in Guangli now. I'm just afraid that no one will come. I'm not afraid of big-bellied people. I just want to buy two more tickets." He looked at Xiao Bazi up and down and said with a smile.
, "You are young, and Lingao likes young people like you. You will have a bright future if you go there."
Xiao Bazi smiled sheepishly and said, "I don't dare to think about the future, but I just hope I can live a life without worries about food and clothing!"
Taking a puff of cigarette, Lao Feng asked: "Your name is Bazi, but you have eight brothers?"
Xiao Bazi shook his head and said: "No, the first two brothers died when they fell to the ground, so my mother said that there were a few yin positions left to ward off disasters. Ninth brother and I are just two brothers."
Old Feng said: "Where are your parents?"
Xiao Bazi drew a circle on the ground with his hand and whispered: "No more."
Lao Feng stopped asking, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Bazi's head, and said: "Sanniang said that you have a smart mind and understand things, and you are a capable person. Do it well, young man, and you will have a bright future."
The two were silent for a moment, and Lao Feng suddenly asked: "Have you ever killed anyone?"
Xiao Bazi was stunned, his eyes flickered, and he didn't answer.
Lao Feng said: "If you have killed people, you will no longer treat them as human beings. You will only treat them like pigs and dogs. In troubled times, human lives are like dust. Just like this smoke, blow it and it will disperse."
Speaking of this, Old Feng gently blew out a smoke ring and continued: "The people who come out of this escort agency are all unwilling to do evil. They have a chivalrous character in their hearts. Honesty is the foundation, promises are the first, and they know etiquette.
, obey the discipline, know that human life is precious, and refuse to kill indiscriminately. If you can keep a piece of your heart in this troubled time, you are a first-class person. It is not difficult to go to Guangli to have a meal."
Old Feng said again: "After killing someone, your heart becomes hardened, just like the third lady. She looks at you with cold eyes and wants to kill you; she treats you with tenderness and kindness, but also wants to kill you. Underneath her warm face, she just has a heart of stone.
.”
Hearing this, Xiao Bazi asked curiously: "Uncle Feng, who is the third lady? I have never heard of her talking about her."
Old Feng said: "It's not surprising to say that her family was originally a bodyguard in Beizhili. Her hometown is in the Langfang area of Baoding. There are many people practicing martial arts there. One is to join the army to make a career in the military examination; the other is to be a bodyguard.
. She is familiar with the people in the Beizhi area, so she was called to come to Beijing as a girl later. Her family is a powerful clan in the village, and it is considered a land. Several generations of the Liao family have been brave and skilled in martial arts, and they have some connections with shopkeeper Sun.
He came from the same family as a master, and became the boss of Weisun in the escort route in Beizhili. His father helped him a lot. Later, there was a disaster, and there were bandits. With no way to survive, the whole family fled to other places to take advantage of the familiarity. Hehe,
No matter how strong you are, how can you survive in this world with one person and one sword? The Liao family has traveled thousands of miles to defect to Shopkeeper Sun. The escort agency shares food and clothing, and Shopkeeper Sun is the most loyal person. When friends come to invest, they also have to take care of the house and land.
, the Liao family took root in Guangli. At that time, the Song Dynasty had not yet flourished, and the Qiwei business was not that big. Well, speaking of which, I have met Sanniang’s father. He said that when Sanniang was in the village, the village
There was a stone mill on the head, and a group of martial arts students often competed there to see which one could lift it. After several attempts, only a few people could pry a crack. At that time, Sanniang was still a teenager, only fourteen years old, and she saw everyone
Seeing the noise, I became impatient, so I picked up the millstone and walked around the grinding pile three times. From then on, the nickname Liao Sanpan became known in the hometown."
Xiao Bazi asked curiously: "Sister Sanniang, was she so powerful when she was a child?"
Old Feng said with a smile: "In the Song Dynasty, when Han Shizhong was ten years old, he was invincible in his hometown. He was called Po Han Wu. People have thousands of colors, each with their own uniqueness. How can we generalize about him?"
Xiao Bazi then asked: "What happened next?"
Lao Feng said: "A year later, Sanniang came to Guangli and started working as a escort with her father at the age of sixteen. Because it was inconvenient for men and women to mix together, she seldom worked as an escort. She was extremely cautious. At first, she only worked for wealthy families and officials in their residences to look after the property of their female relatives.
This job is not easy to do. In fact, it requires one person to be the guarantor, protect the money, protect the property, protect the house, and keep vigil. There are also all kinds of unclear accounting between men and women in the inner house, which is not very precise and smooth.
No one can do that."
Old Feng took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Later on, Sanniang did more and more things, and I don't know much about what happened in the future. After being an escort for a long time, there will always be fights. No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you will inevitably end up fighting.
Strong, just scratching the oily skin with a rusty iron knife can cause a person to die of abscesses and bad blood. It is not easy to fight with swords. Nowadays, although there is an Australian magic medicine that can survive an injury, but that medicine
Gold is precious, but not everyone can use it. In those days, there were no such good things, and fighting was even more dangerous, and people would die at every turn. It is said that the third lady encountered strong bandits repeatedly in the past few years, and she was not injured in twenty sword fights, and she fought with a golden feather and phoenix.
It is inconceivable that a name means immortality, but the talk in the world is mostly intimidation and lies to build a reputation, so it cannot be fully believed."
Speaking of this, Lao Feng shook his head, obviously not believing in this incredible achievement. After a while, he said again: "If it's later, the Australians will come, and Shopkeeper Sun will climb up to the Australians, and then Sanniangzi will go."
It only takes a few years for her to reach her current position, and she will definitely be prosperous in the future. It is said that she is highly appreciated by a female official named Du in the Song Dynasty. It is not unusual to become a female official in the Song Dynasty in the future. Official Du said that she is a new era of women's rights.
Representative, we want to kill the Ming Dynasty gentry men who have their wives and concubines, and the heads are rolling in. It’s terrible, terrible.”
Xiao Bazi nodded after hearing this, and secretly had an idea in his heart. He must ask Liao Sanniang to be his godmother, so as to create a bright future for himself and his brothers.
