Zhuozhou is under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture and is adjacent to Baoding Prefecture in the south.
On the border of Zhuozhou, there is a local snake named Wei Taining. This person has a large business in Zhuozhou, including a casino, two weapons shops, three kilns and four medicine shops. Although he is a local snake here, his reputation in the local area is not bad. He often fights for the weak and weak, so the poor people call him Wei Dashan.
Because Wei Taining is quite a gangster and is good at making friends with heroes from all walks of life, he is very popular and his business is naturally very good. In fact, he is good at making friends, but mainly for business. Because, no matter whether it is a casino, a kiln, a weapon shop, or a pharmacy, the people who go there the most are still people from the world. Of course, among Wei Taining's four businesses, the most profitable ones should be the kilns and casinos. After all, they can make huge profits! Anyone who has ever entered Yaoyuan Casino knows that in a casino, nine out of ten bets will result in losses. Whoever wins will naturally be the banker’s winner! If the bookmaker cannot make money, then there is no need for the casino to open anymore. And the kiln courtyard, the place of fireworks, the place of wind, moon, clouds and rain, burns money faster than the casino.
People who enter Yaoyuan Casino are generally divided into two types.
Either he is a commoner in the market, or he is a hero in the world. Small gangsters in the market who have no other talents but love gambling and whoring, their presence in casinos and brothels is never missing. The heroes of the world are either rough and bold, or they are unruly. When they see a lively place, they all want to go in and take a look and join in the fun. Therefore, when the martial arts tournament was about to start, Wei Taining took in many people from the martial arts world in his house, but it was just to make as much money as possible from these people.
Since you live here, you have to go to the casino to play a few games, stay overnight at the fireworks place, or buy two weapons. If you are injured in a fight, you have to buy medicine. This is just right, he will make back all the money he spent.
A few years ago, Tang Sikai went to Beijing to pay a visit to King Xiao, so he met Wei Taining in the capital, and they became familiar with him from then on. Although the two are not close friends, their relationship is not bad and they still move around a bit from time to time. It's just that Kawanaka is too far away from Takushu, so there aren't many opportunities for the two of them to actually meet.
Although Wei Taining likes to make friends with people, he actually doesn't know any famous and upright people, but most of them are small people from different religions. Wei Taining knew that Tang Sikai was one of the Five Heroes of the Tang Sect. He was not only from a well-known family, but also a well-known master in the world, so he naturally still thought highly of him.
However, Tang Mugong is a person who doesn't like making noise, so logically speaking, he shouldn't settle in a place like Wei Mansion. Normally, he would find a quiet inn and take his disciples out to explore the capital from time to time until the martial arts conference is held. This is his style.
However, he let Tang Sikai choose such a mixed place to stay, and there were several girls around him, so it seemed a little inappropriate. The reason why Tang Mugong did this was mainly to make the situation more complicated so that he could implement his next plan to lure the snake out of the hole.
Although there are many martial arts people in the Wei Mansion, few of them can be considered top masters. If the fourth brother Tang Muxian is really practicing the blood nourishing technique, then he will definitely take action again in the near future. Tang Mugong also generally knew that once he started practicing the blood nourishing technique, he would have to continue to eat blood. Therefore, if Tang Mugong wants to know the truth, the recent period is the best opportunity.
The Wei Mansion is located in Zhuozhou City, and it is in the most prosperous area. The street where it is located is called Lanxiang Street, and it is right in the middle of Lanxiang Street. On both sides of the next door is the kiln courtyard of the family, and the gates of the courtyards are connected. If anyone needs it, the girl can be sent directly to the room in the house. Opposite is the casino. If someone is bored, they can go directly to the opposite side to play a few games, but it is still very close. Further to both sides, there are Wei Taining's pharmacies and weapons shops, lined up in a row. Therefore, although the business in this street is good, almost all of it is made by Wei Taining alone. It has to be said that Wei Taining is indeed a good businessman, very business-minded, and especially good at soliciting business.
Since the Tang Clan and his party planned to settle down in the Wei Mansion, Tang Sikai had naturally sent someone to deliver a message to Wei Taining first. Wei Taining had never made friends with such a big figure in the world as Tang Mugong in his life, so when he heard that the head of the Tang Sect, the three elders, the four heroes, and the fifth young master were all coming together, he was naturally very happy and had already sent someone to bring his family home. The backyard was cleaned and reserved exclusively for the Tang Clan people.
Since Wei Taining is good at business, he is also very smart.
He expected that senior masters like the Tang Sect Master and the three elders would naturally like peace and quiet, and his front yard was already filled with a large group of idlers, so he could only send the Tang Sect and his party to Arranging it in the slightly quieter backyard can also give everyone in the Tang Clan an independent space, so that he can show his respect for the Tang Clan.
Tangmen and his party quickly entered Zhuozhou City and followed Tang Sikai directly to Lanxiang Street.
Wei Taining heard that Mr. Tang and the three elders were coming, so he was already waiting at the street entrance. Naturally, there was no need to exchange pleasantries when we met. Tang Mugong smiled and said: "Boss Wei, there is no need to be polite. If I come here today, I will disturb you for a few days. I hope Boss Wei will forgive me!"
"What did Mr. Tang say? You and the three elders were able to enjoy the honor at the same time. My house is really shining. The junior is also very happy. Why did you say 'bother'? Doesn't this seem out of touch? The junior is slightly older than Tang Wuxia." I'm older, probably the same age as Tang Erxia. If Mr. Tang and the three elders don't mind, just call me by my name, Taining, but please don't call me Boss Wei again. I really don't dare to be a junior." Wei Taining. He had a smile on his face, spoke thoughtfully, and looked like a charming person.
"These four are the Four Ghosts of Western Sichuan, and this girl is the famous swordsman in the world, Miss Jade Rakshasa. They are also with us. I wonder if your mansion can accommodate them?" Tang Mugong introduced them respectively.
Wei Taining was still meeting the four ghosts enthusiastically, but when he suddenly heard the three words "Jade Rakshasa", his expression suddenly froze, and he didn't even hear Tang Mu Gong's question.
"Excuse me, can your mansion accommodate so many people?" Tang Mugong asked again.
"Oh! It can be accommodated, of course it can be accommodated." Wei Taining recovered quickly and replied enthusiastically.
After he finished speaking, he would lead the way directly to the Wei Mansion.
Because there were so many good guys in the Wei Mansion, some of them didn't want to go to the casino, so Su Xing opened several more tables in the front yard. There was a constant supply of wine and meat, and it was very lively!
When Tang Mugong came in and took a look, he said, "Taining, it seems your business is really good! The gambling tables have been set up at home!"
"What the hell! Let's make some money. These heroes are bored, so we opened two tables to let them have some fun." Wei Taining said with a smile.
"Where do we live? Are we with them?" Tang Mugong asked, his expression seemed a little dissatisfied, but he was trying to control it.
"Of course not. Master, you are noble people. Naturally, you live in the backyard, which is quiet. There are only you in this backyard, and no one else will disturb you." Wei Taining said, and he led everyone to the backyard.
Wei Taining spoke very quietly just now, but someone still heard him.
So, a blind man at the gambling table asked: "Who are these people? Boss Wei has to personally receive them, and he also left the entire backyard to them."
"Yes! Boss Wei's family members live in this backyard. Now Boss Wei has asked his wife to take the family back to her parents' house for a few days, just to leave this backyard to this group of people. It seems that this group of people His background is indeed not small." The other person who answered obviously also had no discernment.
"Haha! What's so great, sticking green onions in a pig's nose - pretending to be an elephant. Just watch, we won't have to wait until tomorrow to drive them all out of the backyard, and then our brothers will live together. Okay? "A fat man carrying a machete said, obviously even less discerning.
"Fat man, you have the ability to drive people out, let's talk about it! Be careful not to get spanked until your butt is bruised." Another person mocked.
"Just wait and see! I will drive them out tonight, and then bring a few girls in to have fun." The fat man obviously couldn't stand being looked down upon like this, so he shouted loudly.
"Well, let's just wait and see the good show!" So, several gangsters said.
Wei Taining knew that Tang Clan was a famous sect and was afraid that they would not be able to live there, so he actually asked his wife and family to stay at her parents' house for a few days, and then finally vacated the entire backyard, leaving only a few necessary servants. With.
Tang Mugong saw that he didn't have to squeeze in with that sloppy man, and they were the only ones living in the backyard, but he was still satisfied. I just feel a little embarrassed that I spent so much effort and sent all my family members away before settling them down. I feel really bad.
The backyard is Wei Taining's own residence, which is no smaller than the front yard. And because it is a double-story courtyard with people living both above and below, there are many rooms, and there is a hall in the middle where you can have banquets and drinks. Tang Mugong felt really embarrassed to let someone build such a big yard for them to live in. Each of them chose a room, but there were still many vacant rooms. So Tang Mugong said to Wei Taining: "Taining, there are still many vacant rooms in the backyard. If you still have guests, as long as they are not idle, please arrange for them to live in the backyard!"
"Hey! What did the old man say? If this backyard is reserved for you, it must be reserved for you. No one else will come in and live in it." Wei Taining thought that Tang Mugong was testing him, so he answered thoughtfully.
Tang Mu Gong has already told him that as for how he arranges it, it is his own business and he doesn't bother to care about it.
At this time, Tang Mugong suddenly remembered that his granddaughter-in-law Wei Yan said that she wanted to start learning Tang Clan martial arts with him, so he thought that he should give her a suitable weapon first. He remembered that Tang Sikai, the fifth child, had said that Wei Taining still owned a weapons shop, so he simply said to him: "Taining, do you have two weapons shops?"
"Oh! Yes! Master, do you want to buy weapons? Then I will ask someone to send some good ones over for you to take a look at." Wei Taining was very happy to see that there was business.
"No, you can take us over to see it later." Tang Mugong replied.
