Inside Qinzhou City.
On the streets, people were coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic.
After passing an arch bridge in the city, you will find a brothel.
"Sir, come in and sit down..."
"Son..."
On the second floor, there were several beautiful girls gathered.
Xiao Yuan was holding the horse. He was dressed in white brocade clothes and tied his hair with a jade hairpin. He was a handsome young man, and his person was like jade.
It also corresponds to the sentence:
Riding a horse and leaning on the leaning bridge, the building is full of red sleeves.
Peng Shuang and Liu Yuzhi were following him, looking more like followers.
Seeing the girls from the brothel, all of them dressed in bewitching ways, Peng Shuang couldn't help but widen his eyes and swallowed hard.
"If you want to go, you can come by yourself at night." Xiao Yuan glanced at him with a smile. It is understandable that a strong adult man and a military man would be a little angry.
"Haha, sir, you are joking." Peng Shuang came back to his senses with a dry laugh.
The three of them dressed in casual clothes, walked through several streets, and sat down at a street tea shop.
This tea shop is simply furnished, with a few tables and chairs set up on the roadside, and a big word "tea" written on the worn canvas.
"Guests, what do you want?" The three of them sat down, and the younger brother also came over quickly and wiped the table with a rag.
"What good tea do you have here?" Peng Shuang asked.
"There are a lot of good teas here, such as Qingtan, Jianye, Longjing, everything..."
"Okay, let's go to Hulongjing." Xiao Yuan interrupted him.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll be here soon." The waiter responded and turned to make tea.
After he left, the three of them started chatting, but at this moment, a commotion broke out on the street not far away, which attracted the attention of the three of them.
I saw vendors everywhere closing their stalls one after another, trying to avoid them, and moving in a panic, as if something sinister had appeared in front of them.
"Come on, hurry up, the villain is here again..." a merchant reminded while packing up his things.
"Oh, what kind of evil is this..." Another merchant screamed sadly, and his hands did not stop moving, which was a panic.
People were in a mess, and a lot of fruits and other things were scattered on the ground while they were collecting in a panic. But before everyone could escape, a loud shout came from the front:
"Run, run, run! Why are you running! Stop for me!"
Following the words, a burly, ferocious-looking man swaggered over, followed by a group of thugs-looking people.
Seeing this, the vendors grinned and remained silent. After the big man came over, he grabbed a stall owner and asked with a sneer: "Tell Mr. Ding, why are you running?"
"Ding...Master Ding." The stall owner was grabbed by the collar and said tremblingly: "No, I didn't run away."
"Didn't run away? Then why are you panicking?" The big man sneered, then pushed the stall owner away, pointed at his stall and said, "Are your plums sweet?"
"Sweet... sweet." The vendor said tremblingly.
"Is that sour?"
"It's...also sour."
"How can you eat such broken plums, sour and sweet at the same time?" the big man said angrily, just looking for trouble.
"Master Ding, Master Ding, please let the little one go..." The vendor was almost crying.
"Fuck you!" Before he could finish his words, the big man slapped him hard and threatened, "It's time to pay!"
This slap was not light. The hawker was slapped so hard that blood gushed from the corner of his mouth and he sat down on the ground. However, he seemed to be extremely afraid of the big man. Instead of resisting, he covered his face and begged: "Master Ding, this is a small business for me. Where can I pay it?"
"Huh? I said that you, the boy, are toasting instead of eating and being fined with wine, right?" The big man said, and also raised his head towards his men: "Brothers, greet him well!"
"Okay!" the thugs responded, and then they all came forward, pushed the hawker to the ground, and beat and kicked him.
Screams of pain and complaints continued to be heard, but the big man ignored them. Instead, he put his hand on his hips and pointed at other vendors with the other, cursing:
"And you! It's time to pay! One by one, don't seek death! If you don't have Mr. Ding to protect you, how can you hang out in this place! Hurry!"
His attitude was arrogant and lawless. The traders were intimidated by his power and dared not speak out in anger.
Seeing this scene, the upright Peng Shuang couldn't bear it anymore, and he was about to start a crime.
"Huh?" But before he could make the next move, Xiao Yuan had already glared at him.
"Sir!" Peng Shuang became anxious and said angrily: "Look at that bully, how unreasonable he is! Why don't you let me deal with him!"
"What's the use?" Xiao Yuan said calmly: "Of course this bully must be cured, but he must be cured thoroughly. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes." Peng Shuang sat back again, but his eyes were still staring fiercely over there.
At this time, Xiao Yuan called the waiter.
After the latter came over, he nodded and bowed and said, "Any other instructions, sir?"
"Little brother." Xiao Yuan pointed to the place where the accident occurred: "What's the situation over there?"
"Young Master is not a local, is he?" the waiter asked back.
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, the three of us are new to Qinzhou and don't know much about it."
"That's not surprising." The waiter explained: "That's the bully Ding Laosi. He runs rampant in the market and does all kinds of evil. The locals are very afraid of him."
"Then the government doesn't care?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"Government? Ha!" The waiter curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What kind of government! Who believes in the government? Besides exploiting us common people and increasing taxes, what else will they do!"
As he spoke, he added: "This Ding Laosi, it's not like no one reported it to the government. At first, the government was unwilling to accept it, but in the end there were so many people making trouble that the government had to come forward and arrest him. , but he was released the next day, so who dares to offend him?"
"Hiss, according to what you said, does Ding Laosi have some background?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The waiter was very talkative. After hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I heard that he has something to do with Mr. Chang Shi, but I don't know the details."
"Oh, that's it." Xiao Yuan showed a surprised expression.
As a result, the waiter in the shop began to mutter again: "This Ding Laosi only dares to be fierce in this area. I really want him to go to various villages and try to kill him!"
"Oh? According to my second brother, the villagers in Qin are all fierce?"
"Young master is a foreigner, so he naturally doesn't know. In some villages, for farmland irrigation, they rob water sources and fight with neighboring villages, killing and injuring dozens of people. That is a common thing," the waiter said.
"What about the government? It doesn't care about such a big thing?" Xiao Yuan said in surprise.
"Oh, Master, don't mention the government, no one will believe you!" the waiter said directly.
People don’t trust the government?
After Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Yuzhi.
