It was just daybreak. The rain from last night has not gone away, and the air is still damp and cold.
There were not many pedestrians on the street, it was deserted and deserted. On the street, the shops selling vegetables and breakfast have just opened their doors.
When Luo Fan walked to West Street, he saw from a distance that the street in front was already busy!
A large group of people crowded into a circle, shouting and making a lot of noise.
As I got closer, I smelled a pungent fishy smell. Animal hair, blood and feces can also be seen everywhere on the sand. On both sides of the road, there are more than a dozen large wooden cages littered with various fierce dogs.
Luo Fan stood outside the crowd and stood on tiptoe to take a glance.
In the middle of the street, two ferocious dogs weighing sixty or seventy kilograms with shiny black hair were tearing into a ball. The cheeks and lips were torn, revealing bright red flesh, and the blood was splashed with dust. The two dogs were still biting each other crazily.
The scenes of brutal violence excited the crowd even more, and the shouts grew louder and louder.
Most of them were holding some small white paper tickets in their hands, which should be chips used in dog fighting.
Luofan hates this kind of dog fighting and cock fighting. It's smelly, messy, bloody and cruel, noisy and noisy, and I don't know what to make of it.
Wait a moment and the winner will be decided. Two bruised and panting beasts were pulled away by their owners.
The crowd of onlookers dispersed automatically and stood in several piles, talking happily.
The man who lost the money cursed, tore up the paper notes in his hand and threw them to the ground. He looked excited after winning money. He took the note and went to the banker to cash it in!
The laws of the Tiandu Dynasty clearly stipulate that dog fighting and gambling in downtown areas are illegal. Luofan originally thought that he would be very conspicuous standing here because he was wearing a black hunting uniform. No, these people pretended they didn’t exist and didn’t even take a second look!
On the street, there was a broken Paulownia table and a broken wooden bench.
When the dogfight is over, the banker in charge returns to his seat surrounded by the crowd. Start exchanging small tickets for the winners.
Luo Fan took a look. The person in charge was a fat man wearing a golden silk robe and a face covered with scars. He is in his early forties and looks fierce. However, looking at his fat belly and staggering when walking, he is really a weakling. Dare to set up gambling in the street, and there is a group of followers. Ying is also a gang leader, with no strength and a little background.
Luo Fan walked to the table and stood there, staring at the man without saying a word.
The fat man also glanced at Luofan, then lowered his head and counted the money calmly, without any intention of paying attention.
Luofan had no choice but to lift one foot and step on the table.
Seeing someone provoking him, the five or six followers behind the strong man all puffed up their chests, showed the daggers at their waists, and stared fiercely at him.
Luofan remained unmoved and still stood!
Seeing that Luofan had no intention of retreating, the fat man continued to collect the money without raising his eyes, and said in a strange tone: "This little brother, you are new here. Brother Tao's place is not a place where you can cause trouble. Before I'm angry, get out of there wherever you came from!"
When the other party opens his mouth, it at least means that he starts to take himself seriously.
Luofan drew back his foot and said coldly: "Dog fighting in the city violates the laws of the dynasty, do you know?"
Hearing this question, Brother Fat Tao burst into laughter.
The people around him laughed as well, as if they had seen something strange.
Just laugh. The fat guy, Brother Tao, had a dark complexion and was fierce. He started to curse: "You are a stupid young man who came out of nowhere. He doesn't know anything and dares to come and cause trouble! Brother Tao has been in the world for more than a day or two." None of the seven divine catchers in Qicheng dare to cause trouble for me! You, a bigger catcher, a useless piece of shit, dare to come and scream in front of me. Brother Tao, I have to teach you a lesson, look at you It’s pitiful to be so ignorant! Get out of here right now.”
Seeing that Brother Tao was scolding well, the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
Many people followed suit and shouted: Let's go quickly! You are a little head catcher, but you are so ignorant! How dare you offend Brother Tao! The Seven Great Gods also want to sell Tao Brother eight points of face...
Luo Fan was a little confused. The seven divine catchers didn't dare to touch him? So awesome?
After thinking about it, besides Prince Wu's Mansion, there seemed to be no other powerful characters in Flag City. Could he be a relative of King Wu Huo Yuan?
However, he heard that the population of Prince Wu's mansion was very thin. In this generation, except for Prince Wu and his only son, there was no other family member. Besides, what is King Wu's status? He is really his relative, so he can do such a low-level business?
But the ruffian didn't seem to be telling lies. Luofan couldn't understand for a moment.
If you don’t understand it, you won’t think about it. Even if King Tiandu wants to protect him, Luofan doesn't care.
Luofan is born with no feeling of fear. When he was wandering, the hungry wolves in the wild were scared away by his cold eyes. Luofan's master was also attracted by his courage and always said that Luofan was the reincarnation of an evil star and the nemesis of evil spirits in the world.
Although Luofan didn't care about Brother Tao's threat, he still pretended to be enlightened.
He apologized and said with a smile: "It turns out that even the divine catcher doesn't dare to offend. I'm so blind to offend a catcher. I'm a newbie here and don't know the rules. Don't blame Brother Tao."
Seeing Luofan begging for mercy, Brother Tao smiled proudly and said: "You still have some brains. You know some good and bad things. Then stay away from me. If you are short of money in the future, just open your mouth and it will benefit you."
Luo Fan smiled and said: "Brother Tao, you are really kind and righteous. I have something to ask for, so please help me."
Hearing this, Brother Tao looked disdainful. He laughed even more unceremoniously: "Help? Is it your first day to go to the Jianghu? Do you and I have any friendship? You are worthy of asking me, Brother Tao. Except for your chief arrester, the Seven Great Gods, no one else is worthy of asking me. I'll give you back." Stay in the doghouse, don’t make yourself uncomfortable.”
Everyone laughed again.
Seeing that Brother Tao didn't give him any face, Luo Fan was not in a hurry. He has a unique trick that he has never failed to deal with such little gangsters!
Seeing him take out two banknotes from his arms, put them on the table respectfully, and said with a smile: "Famous people in the world have a third level of friendship. This time, we will have a good relationship."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the banknote!
You don’t need to look at the numbers on it, just look at the size, and you know it’s one hundred taels! In this situation of cockfighting and lackeys, a hundred taels of silver note is a rare thing.
Brother Tao directly threw the banknote into his hand, and with a touch of his thumb, he knew that the banknote was genuine! His mouth opened with joy.
Looking at Luofan again, he thought to himself: I really made a mistake. This young lad turned out to be a rich man! There are many wealthy households in Qicheng, but few are so generous. Could it be that he is a foolish young man from a wealthy family somewhere who came to experience?
He glanced at the stack of banknotes bulging in Luofan's arms and thought again: What a fat sheep! This silly fat sheep is brought to your mouth by yourself. If you don't eat it, wouldn't you be sorry for God's painstaking arrangements?
After a few breaths, Brother Tao, with a smile on his face, has already changed his mind!
He kicked the banknote into his sleeve and put it away, raised his head, Brother Tao had changed into a warm smile.
Brother Tao smiled and said: "Hey, boy. You can't tell, you are quite sensible. The chief arrest officer and we are the same family. You are the chief arrest officer, and you will be Brother Tao's brother from now on. I will definitely help you with your affairs." .Tell me, why are you looking for Brother Tao?"
Luo Fan smiled and said respectfully: "I want to find a hunting dog with a keen sense of smell and an understanding of human nature. Brother Tao is proficient in this, so he must be able to help me."
Hearing Luofan mention dogs, Brother Tao suddenly showed a proud look on his face. He laughed and said: "Hunting dog! You have found the right one. Brother Tao grew up among dogs. I don't know if there is a good dog in any house within a hundred miles of this city. Brother Tao has a few in our courtyard. The best hunting dog, as long as it is fed enough meat and brought along for hunting, can chase hundreds of wild animals in a day. Brother, I have given up this stall today and I will entertain you myself! Come on, follow me."
Brother Tao left the stall and let his men take care of it, then warmly greeted Luofan to leave.
