The beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial state of Jinling.
Jinling in ancient times is now Nanjing. As one of the four ancient capitals in history, it has always been talked about. At this time, Jinling was as prosperous as the capital.
In the vast sea of people, Jia Qi, a young and a half-year-old man, was inconspicuous. Perhaps he had lived in a prosperous and peaceful place for a long time. Even the guards at the city gate became lazy. Two big-headed soldiers in armor were hiding in the shadow of the city gate. On one side, the eyes were drooping, and the passers-by didn't bother to take a look. They would only come out to question the pretty young ladies they met.
The passers-by were not surprised by this and went about their own business. Obviously, this situation did not happen for a day or two.
Jia Qi's entry into the city went smoothly for a young man and a half, and the two leading soldiers didn't even bother to raise their eyelids.
However, not long after he entered the city, he was targeted by a group of people. Strangely enough, these people were none other than a group of beggars.
In any era and in any place, there is wealth and poverty, just like a poem by the poet Du Zimei.
"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!"
There are many high-walled courtyards in the city, the people reflected in the shops are dazzling, the street vendors shout one after another, and the scene of the prosperous times can be seen at a glance, but in such a place, there are still those who are hungry and emaciated.
When Jia Qi noticed the person behind him, miscellaneous thoughts flashed through his mind. In the book, he had seen the heroes of the beggar gang, the eighteen palms for subduing the dragon, and the dog-beating stick technique. This was the martial arts in the book, and the world in the hearts of the literati. , there are also cruel methods of harvesting and cutting. The flowers harbor evil and evil people and practices, which is unscrupulous.
If he were an ordinary person, most of the time he would find a place with a lot of people to take shelter when this happened. However, he was armed with a sharp weapon and an expert and bold, but he wanted to see what these beggars in Jinling City were like.
So after walking for a while on the long street, he pretended to be anxious and turned into a small alley. When the beggars who had been following him saw this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly followed him.
They were divided into two groups, one behind the other, and blocked Jia Qi deep in the alley.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Seeing these seven or eight people forming a circle around him, Jia Qi showed no panic on his face and just asked calmly.
Some of these seven or eight people were older, and some were younger. The older one was about fifty or sixty years old, and the younger ones were fifteen or sixteen years old, but four of them were young men in their thirties or forties.
The clothes on his body were in tatters, with a pair of straw sandals under his feet, a bamboo pole in his hand, and a broken bowl with missing edges and corners. The oldest beggar among them laughed.
"My polite little brother, the old beggar Niu San, is the incense owner of Hua'er's Nest in the south of the city. These are all the flowers under the old beggar! Now I meet the little brother and want him to give us a few taels of silver. !”
Good guy, you get a few taels of silver when you open your mouth. At this time, ordinary people can't earn a few taels of silver a year. Obviously, these spendthrifts are not good-natured.
Jia Qi glanced at these flowers. When the old man spoke, the flowers that were still whispering at the beginning stopped talking and just looked at him. He concluded that these beggars were not ordinary beggars begging on the roadside, but an organized and disciplined group of people.
Here, Niu San also mentioned a name called Hua'erwo. As the name suggests, this place should be a gathering place for beggars. However, when he saw Niu San talking about the incense owner, he looked quite proud, so he guessed that this place should be There are secrets he doesn't know.
"Where is Hua'er Nest?"
Hearing this, Niu San's eyes lit up with joy, and he put away the flattering smile at the beginning.
"Brother, you are not a local!"
Jia Qi narrowed his eyes, thinking that there must be another mystery to this matter, or that this flower nest should be a very famous place in Jinling City.
"What if you are a local, so what if you are not a local?"
Hearing this, Niu Sanyi grinned, showing his old yellow teeth, waved the hand holding the bamboo pole, and his tone suddenly became a little cold.
"You are a local, so I will send you to another place to exchange for two strangers. It would be easier if you are not a local. If you are willing to be a beggar under the old man, just do it. If you are not willing, the old man Let you know what it means to be unable to survive and unable to survive!!"
Hearing the words from his hometown, Jia Qi grinned and said, "Old man, you are not afraid that I am a member of those high-end courtyards. If you tie me up, they will find me when the time comes and make you unable to eat and carry me around!"
Now Jia Qi is sure that this group of people should be a group of evil beggars who specialize in doing evil things.
Niu San grinned, with a trace of ridicule on his face, "Little brat, don't think that I haven't seen the world. There are no young masters like you in those high-walled compounds. You don't even bring an entourage when you go out, and you carry your own luggage." !”
"Ninety percent of the young masters and old beggars in Jinling City know this, but you still want to pretend to be a master in front of old beggars. You don't even know what kind of virtue you are!"
"Go up~"
Niu San stopped talking nonsense and let the remaining beggars come on with a wave of his hand.
Jia Qi looked at the beggar who was about to snatch his own baggage and asked this question.
"In broad daylight, you behave like this. Is there any royal law? Aren't you afraid that I will run away and go to the Yamen to sue you?"
After hearing this, the few beggars who wanted to take action froze. Obviously, they still had some scruples about Wang Fa.
But Niu San laughed loudly after hearing this, his old face became more and more gloomy, like an evil ghost, "Sue us? Do you think you can escape? Even if you escape, you really think that the big boss in the yamen Will you believe what you say?"
"Tell the truth! Our gang leader has already taken care of the relationship between superiors and subordinates. But since you dare to say this, you must be dishonest. The old beggar really doesn't dare to accept it. He will destroy your face with charcoal and then cut him off." Knock out your tongue, break your legs, and throw you on the street to beg for the old beggar!"
"What are you waiting for? Come on!!"
Niu San's face became more and more ferocious and terrifying, and his eyes were filled with cold light.
But in the blink of an eye, Jia Qi, who was surrounded by them, disappeared under their noses. The surroundings were quiet. The seven beggars who came forward also stood there blankly. A gust of wind suddenly blew in from the alley, and passed by the narrow alley. The comrades let out bursts of whimpering sounds, which made people feel a little creepy.
"F*ck!! Damn it!!"
Niu San was startled. He was just about to pat the man next to him and ask them if they saw clearly what happened. Suddenly, there were seven muffled sounds in his ears. It seemed as if something heavy was hit on the heads of these seven people. It exploded like a crash.
Red and white things were flying, and Niu San was the first to bear the brunt. His crotch became wet in an instant, his pupils shrank violently, his feet went soft, and he rolled and crawled backwards, screaming one after another from his mouth.
At this moment, a voice came into his ears again, making him feel numb all over, his face turned pale, he was sweating, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"It's not a ghost! It's a human~"
