Yagyu Tea House.
Instead of following most of the people and running out of the store, the storyteller was very keen to capture that this was a good 'material', and immediately focused all his energy on the second floor.
After putting away her work, she saw the little granddaughter on the side staring unblinkingly at the wild and uninhibited man upstairs. Her eyes seemed to recognize her. She was stunned for a while and asked: "Yun'er, you were absent-minded just now. Have you seen them all?”
The little girl nodded when she heard the words, and the story her grandfather told the most in the past flashed through her mind. The figure she dreamed about every night soon overlapped with the man upstairs.
She was very sure that the man upstairs was the man her grandfather usually talked about, but the scene was in chaos now, and she had no intention of explaining anything to her grandfather. Instead, she stared upstairs tightly, for fear that the person would be gone in the next second.
.....................
In the corridor on the second floor, Ding Cheng was a little dazed after hearing Dongzhang's urging. When he saw him looking at him without a smile, he also nodded: "You are a person. I must not be an unknown person in the world." Come on, tell me your name, and I will take you to see my master."
Ding Cheng is very prestigious in the local area. Seeing that it was him, many diners downstairs were already talking quietly and did not dare to talk loudly. He must be a ruthless character in the local area.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ding. This man is going to be in bad luck."
"No, Ding San is famous for being ruthless. His two biological brothers died one after another, presumably because of his methods. Recently, he replaced Ding Ada and took the position of leader of the Cao Gang. To talk about his brother's death If it has nothing to do with him, no one will believe it.”
The Cao Gang has existed for a long time. It is a gang that specializes in monopolizing water transportation. It is also the Qing Gang of later generations. It has great power and has close relations with the imperial court. It can be said that it has great hands and eyes in the local area.
Hearing the comments from others around him, Ding Cheng showed a hint of pride on his face and looked at Dong Zhang, wanting to see him being restrained.
But who would have thought that Dong Zhang ignored him and still had a disgusting smile on his face. Ding Cheng couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. The next second he saw Dong Zhang slowly walking towards him.
Ding Cheng could no longer maintain the composure on his face and shouted: "What are you going to do?!"
"Snapped!
"
As soon as he walked not far in front of him, Zhang Dong raised his hand and slapped Ding Cheng staggering. Then, without giving him any chance to get angry, Dong Zhang quickly took Ding Cheng and his wife into his arms one by one. Below, the lady is on the left and Ding Cheng is on the right.
But when he saw Dong Zhang's right arm tightening and tightening, Ding Cheng's face turned red and he could hardly breathe. With a smile, Dong Zhang raised his arm and hit Ding Cheng on the back of the head with his fist, beating him so hard that he rolled his eyes. Almost fainting.
"Lori, what are you talking about? If you are asked to lead the way, then lead the way for me. Why are you talking nonsense?"
As he spoke, he walked around Ding Cheng's body with one hand, grabbed his chin and pulled it down. With a crisp kacha sound, Ding Cheng's chin was removed by Dong Zhang, with his mouth wide open and blood dripping from his mouth. On the ground, he whined and was speechless.
Looking at Ding Cheng with satisfaction, Dongzhang then turned to look at the lady on the left and said with a smile: "You think so."
Before she got close, the lady dared to curse a few words when there were guards nearby, but now she was really about to be grabbed around the neck. The murderer was within a few feet. The lady who bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong was like an ostrich. , nodded hurriedly, his face was as white as paper, his lips could not stop trembling due to excessive fright, and his body was trembling.
Witnessing her husband being 'executed' with her own eyes, the lady is now in extreme panic.
"That's it, lead the way."
There were two people on the left and one on the right, and Dongzhang and three people walked down the stairs. Everyone cheered and moved out of the aisle, looking at this careless man in surprise.
Those who didn't know would have thought that their relationship was very close, assuming that one didn't look at Ding Cheng's bloody words.
Just as Dongzhang and the others walked out of the tea house, the little fat man who was still hanging in the air on the second floor was still calling for his parents, but no one dared to help him. Maybe their family had been wandering around the countryside for too long. , public dissatisfaction has been deep.
After Dongzhang left, Yun'er quietly grabbed the storyteller and whispered hesitantly: "Grandpa, he...may be Dongzhang."
"What?!"
The always calm old man shouted in a low voice when he heard this. He looked at his granddaughter in disbelief and asked uncertainly: "You...you said he is Dongzhang?! How did you know??"
Yun'er looked around and whispered: "Grandpa, you said...he has a red mark on his forehead, and he is free and unruly..."
Yun'er described her "familiar" characteristics one by one, and she captured many details that the storyteller had not discovered, such as never leaving her hand when drinking, having a high ponytail, and other characteristics... ....
Except for the fact that he doesn't have an astonishingly long black iron sword and is dressed in gray clothes, all his features are consistent with Dong Zhang's.
Not to mention that children's vision and sense of smell are poisonous. They noticed many things that adults didn't notice one by one, and analyzed them. The more the storyteller listened, the more likely it was, and he couldn't help but believe his granddaughter's words. At that moment, he also Without saying anything, he quietly took the girl's hand and ran outside the teahouse.
As a professional storyteller, now that he has met this legendary figure, he will definitely not let it go easily. He will not give up until he gets first-hand 'material'.
Ding Mansion.
But there was a loud bang, and the huge mahogany door was kicked violently. It hit the ground with a rumble, rolled over several times, and finally stopped beside a flower bed. All the servants were shocked and stunned when they heard the loud noise. At the next moment, he saw his master walking into the courtyard with a stranger holding his neck from one side to the other.
"master....."
Soon, a group of guards reacted quickly and displayed their weapons to surround Dongzhang and the three of them. There were at least thirty people in total.
Holding Ding Cheng's removed chin and pulling it down, Dongzhang smiled and said, "Don't expect these little fishes and shrimps. Let's get straight to the point. Where is your master?"
Ding Cheng was so painful that his body couldn't help but convulse, and big beads of sweat on his face kept dripping down his chin, as if he had just washed his face. He didn't dare to make any mistakes after hearing this, and pointed to the side door on the right with a whimper. .
Dongzhang didn't waste any time and pulled them towards the side door, while a group of guards followed closely behind the three of them, keeping a close distance.
After walking along the corridor for a long time, they passed through each house. Dongzhang and the other three walked deeper and deeper until they reached the end. This was a quiet courtyard at the foot of a low mountain, but there was nothing around it. The figure of the servant looked unusually quiet.
When he got here, Dongzhang could feel that Ding Cheng was shaking with fear, and the shaking in his body showed that it was the deepest fear in his heart.
Dongzhang was unmoved, glanced at the deep courtyard, and said with a smile: "What, your master lives here?"
Ding Cheng glanced at the small courtyard with fear and nodded, with a hint of sinisterness flashing in his eyes. This was the forbidden area of Ding Mansion. Even he didn't dare to enter when nothing happened, because the people inside were too cruel and powerful. It was so unpredictable that the number of slaves who were beaten to death for breaking water glasses usually numbered in double digits.
Most of them were servants who were beaten to death for no apparent reason. Every day, Ding Cheng would send people here to pull out corpses. Seeing the miserable death of each servant, even a gangster like Ding Cheng could not help but feel a little frightened. .
Trespassing is a capital crime and no one is immune. Ding Cheng did not tell Dongzhang about this, he just wanted them to fight to the death.
Ignoring Ding Cheng's fear, Dongzhang kicked the courtyard door away again, and led the two of them into the small courtyard carelessly. As soon as they entered the door, Dongzhang frowned slightly, without him, the smell of blood here , too strong.
At a glance, he saw four slaves lying irregularly on the ground, their limbs showing unnatural bends. With just one glance, Dongzhang knew that they were injured by the force of his palms. The master here had deep inner strength... .
The sound of Dongzhang kicking the door was loud, but no sound came from the back room. Dongzhang didn't care about it. He walked happily towards the main room with the door open, holding the extremely frightened Ding Cheng and his wife.
As soon as he stepped onto the stone steps, there was a surge of excitement in the air.
"stop!"
A small object quickly passed through the lobby and hit the door, but Dong Zhang had already blocked Ding Cheng in front of him as soon as the sound came out.
"ah!
"
Ding Cheng was immediately struck directly on the left side of his face by a hidden weapon, and half of his cheek flesh was knocked off, exposing the gums inside. He looked extremely ferocious and terrifying. The lady was so frightened that she screamed, and fell down softly. Fortunately, Dong Zhang held his neck with one hand and kept him from falling to the ground.
"You are very courageous. Didn't I say you are not allowed to enter this place without permission? Do you think my words fell on deaf ears?"
A gloomy voice came from the back room. Ding Cheng howled in pain, but also shook his head in fear.
This sound...
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong immediately poked his head out from behind Ding Cheng, took a look at the scene inside, and said with a smile, "Hey, long time no see, Gang Leader Qiu..."
