Chapter 42: Three Thousands of Cars(1/2)
Several people sat in the back hall, and Zhang Zhongqian told the three of them about the origin of the Invincible Divine Fist Gang.
About ten years ago, a young man came to Wuling City alone to make a living.
He was penniless and was so hungry that he went to the restaurant in the city to ask for a meal.
He didn't want it, he wanted to use workmanship to exchange for a bite.
But after going to several families, the guys rushed out as beggars.
He even scolded him for being young and having hands and feet, and he actually came to beg for food. Do you want to have a good face?
The boy felt aggrieved, and he didn't want to eat for nothing.
Later, a kind old shopkeeper pitied him and gave him two steamed buns and a plate of pickles.
After eating and drinking, he went to the backyard of the tavern and chopped a lot of firewood for the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper said, "It's enough, it's enough, and you're hungry again if you're chopped.
The old shopkeeper's tavern is not big. The one who is busy in the kitchen is his son and daughter-in-law. The one who serves tea and water to the guests in front of the front hall is his granddaughter.
The young man took two steamed buns and three cents away with the old man.
The old man shook his head at the young man who was very strong. It was because his pub was too small and his business was not very good. It was a pity that a young man was quite good.
When the young man left, the old shopkeeper clearly saw his granddaughter and looked at him a few times.
The old shopkeeper sighed. His granddaughter had promised that he was the third concubine of the city's official, or it would be nice to recruit the young man who was full of energy as a son-in-law.
Lord Lao's real name is Laoserpi, and he is the head of the Ministry of Revenue in the city.
There are indeed not many steamed buns for the boy, so he only ate them at the bottom, but it is already very good to have a bite, so how can he get more and more?
After leaving the tavern, he turned a corner and found a place where no one was around to take out two other steamed buns, grabbed one and started to chew.
After just chewing two bites, he stopped.
Several beggars surrounded him with sticks, and one of them said,
"Where did you come from? Don't you know this territory belongs to us? Go quickly, go quickly!"
The boy held his steamed bun tightly, didn't say anything, and slowly got up and was about to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, the biggest beggar, spit on the steamed bun he was holding in his arms with a "pah".
The beggars around him burst into laughter, and the beggar who was spitting out his hand and said,
"Take it here, tell you, this is the territory fee you paid, do you understand? If you follow your elder brother in the future, you will just want this piece, but remember that you have to choose the food you want to come up first. Do you understand?"
The boy looked at the steamed buns in his hand tightly and raised his head.
The beggar who had just made a sound was frightened when he looked at the boy's eyes and shouted loudly.
"What are you going to do? There are so many of us who are still afraid that you will not succeed. Brothers, beat him and grab all his steamed buns."
The stick swung towards the boy. The boy did not move, allowing the stick to fall on him. He stared at the spitting beggar.
The beggar was stared at and did not move when he saw that he was beaten, and the stick in his hand was raised.
The boy moved at this time.
The beggar saw a steamed bun coming towards him, and then he knew nothing.
The steamed bun was stuffed into the mouth by the boy. His teeth had cracked, his mouth was covered in blood, and the steamed bun was soaked in red.
Seeing this, the other beggars fled around and shouted, "I'm murdering!"
The boy ignored it, kicked the beggar who fainted, scolded and left.
There is no need to eat steamed buns, and I still have three cents in my hand, and I am hungry. The boy wants to buy a few more steamed buns.
As for this beggar, no one paid attention to it.
Later, a gang suddenly emerged in Wuling City, claiming to be the Invincible Divine Fist Gang, whose gang leader was named Che Sanqian.
Zhang Zhongqian's story was so complete that it was a long and confused by the hearing.
Cheng Shifei asked, "Brother-in-law, what you tell is worse than those bad novels. What's going on with the Invincible God Fist Gang? Is the boy you mentioned the only one that car three thousand?"
Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said, "That's true. That young man was Che Sanqian, the leader of the Invincible God Fist Gang."
Chen Suisui didn't speak and just listened. He was thinking in his heart, it was a pity that steamed bun, fighting, why are you wasting food?
Yuan Xi said, "Invincible Divine Fist Gang, this person who called Che Sanqian seems to have good boxing skills. I wonder if Mr. Zhang has seen this person before?"
Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said, "I have indeed seen it, not only I have seen it, but anyone on the street has seen it."
Cheng Shifei said curiously: "Brother-in-law, what does this car Sanqian look like? By the way, how do you know the story of that car Sanqian?"
Zhang Zhongqian took a sip of tea, looked at the curious and wronged, and smiled: "Do you think the leader of the gang is very majestic?"
After saying that, he looked at the few people and continued, "I really don't know how the Invincible God Fist Gang appeared, and the story of this young man was told to me by Che Sanqian. After the Invincible God Fist Gang appeared, he personally brought two people to visit each shop, claiming that he could protect everyone's safety. Ensure that there will be no more stealing and scoundrels will appear. In addition, if there is physical work in the shop, please give it to the gang. As for the wages, it is 10% lower than the original price on the market. But the shops will pay the so-called protection fee to the gang."
Cheng Shiwu said "just this? Who can deal with these three people? It would be nice not to drive them out as fools."
Zhang Zhongqian smiled and said, "You are right. The city's security is patrolled by the government, and the merchants have a lot of taxes. Why should I deal with these three people? Many merchants drove people out directly, but a few of them were polite on the surface and served a few cups of tea, but no one responded to this matter."
Cheng Shifei said: "Whoever is the fool? Did my brother-in-law open our shop at that time?"
Zhang Zhongqian's expression was a little strange, and he stared at the wrong thing, and said, "Our cloth shop has been open for more than half a year. At that time, I was still young. Although I followed my father to Wuling City, my father was working hard on the big and small matters of the cloth shop. Lao Jia also worked a lot. We are outsiders and are already excluded by local merchants. Even the wages of loading and unloading with that force are 50% higher than those of the people. Do you think this car has a condition of 3,000 yuan, is it tempting to tempt?"
Yuan Xi smiled without saying a word, but Cheng Ming understood it. It seemed that he had said the wrong thing just now. He grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, if it were me, I would agree, but, is this car three thousand reliable?"
Zhang Zhongqian put down the tea bowl in his hand and continued, "Dad was also so worried at that time, but when we do business, don't we just talk about the word "talk"? Dad treated the three of them with courtesy and said his own conditions, that is, the so-called protection fee will not be given yet, and the business in the store that requires laborers will be handed over to the Invincible God Fist Gang. If there is nothing to do within two months, he will give the money as much as possible."
Cheng Shifei glared and asked, "What did he say? He fell down the tea bowl and left?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Xiao Fei, you have the potential to be a bully. Have you read too many novels?"
Cheng Shifei laughed and said, "I read a few books when I was fine. It was very interesting. But my father didn't let me read this book, saying that there was nothing to read, especially since I practiced martial arts, it would be better not to read it, but I think it's just a pleasure to read it for a while. Am I still me?"
Yuanxi joked: "We should be afraid of dogs but also dogs, right? Cheng Dahe, who is famous all over the world, is afraid of dogs."
Cheng Shifei was speechless for a moment and pouted and snorted: "Brother Yuan, you know how to bully me. I'm not afraid anymore. I'm just going to be with me."
After saying that, he ignored Brother Yuan who smiled at him and looked at Zhang Zhongqian and said, "Brother-in-law, do you say, what happened later?"
Zhang Zhongqian smiled and said, "What else can I do? He agreed."
Cheng Shifei said in amazement: "Is this agreed?"
Zhang Zhongqian looked up at his brother-in-law: "What else? I will burn yellow paper with him and chop off the chicken's head?"
Cheng Shifei laughed and said, "That's not bad, brother-in-law, you will have a backer. By the way, the name of this Invincible God Fist Gang is so loud, it must be very powerful, right?"
Zhang Zhongqian showed a look of remembrance and said, "Once the name was just a name, but now, it is really the Invincible Divine Fist Gang. Xiao Fei, brother-in-law, I almost kowtowed to the car Sanqian to pay homage to the car."
"ah?"
Not only was they surprised by the right and wrong, but even Yuanxi and Chen Suisui were surprised. Where did they start? Since this is the case, how could today happen again?
Zhang Zhongqian continued, "Who is not frivolous at young age? I also learned fists and kicks from my father-in-law for a few years. My father-in-law also taught me some internal cultivation methods, so naturally I yearn for such gangs. At the beginning, our cloth shop had just opened, and there were rascals to make trouble. Do you know, brother-in-law, I have taught those rascals with my own lessons, but the king of hell is easy to hide, the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and those rascals always use some dirty means to disgust us. Do you think, open early in the morning and have that shit at the door, will it be disgusting to people? Who will you ask for? Who will care? Are you looking for a fellow traveler to disgust us? We don't know if we know, so what can we do if we know? We are not going to swallow our anger? If my father hadn't said that he would have gained a foothold here even if he was losing money, our cloth shop would have closed."
Walking back to his seat, he became terrified and quickly poured a glass of water for his brother-in-law.
Zhang Zhongqian picked up and took a big sip and continued, "Growing up in the countryside every year, there are few such rogues. Prince Yuan and his master were escaping the world in the mountains. I guess they didn't see much. As for Xiao Fei, who dared to go to the martial arts hall to cause trouble? In fact, there are too many dirty things you have never seen before. People really can do everything for a bite. After doing it, they gradually got used to it."
After saying that, he patted Chen Suisui on the shoulder and said, "Suisui, don't think too much, we all believe in you."
Chen Suisui didn't say anything, just nodded. He knew that what Zhang Zhongqian said just now was just a feeling. Unexpectedly, the boss could still take into account his emotions. Chen Suisui straightened his back and his eyes became firm.
Zhang Zhongqian continued, "The next day after the car three thousand was put out, our cloth shop opened, and saw two people guarding the door. Seeing the shop open, he said goodbye and left. Dad also agreed that the work in the shop was given to the people of the car three thousand. In this way, our shop was really safe for two months."
Cheng Shifei asked, "Brother-in-law, what's going on with you?"
Zhang Zhongqian sighed and said, "I sent the silver to you. After seeing the car 3,000, I bluntly said that I wanted to join the Invincible Divine Fist Gang. Do you know? Their gang was actually in the dilapidated temple outside the city, and the gang members were beggars, laborers, and stoles."
After looking at the three people, he continued, "He asked me at that time, you are different from us, and this place is not suitable for you. The story of the steamed bun was told to me by Che Sanqian at that time. He asked me, what would I do if I were me? I couldn't answer because it was really hard for me to imagine his situation at that time. However, with Che Sanqian's protection, our shop has really been stable, but the other shops are not so peaceful."
At this time, Yuanxi said, "But the three thousand car is the means?"
Zhang Zhongqian nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Yes, no, he has just won over some people, but he has indeed used some methods to several shops, which are those shops that drove the three of them out of the door."
Cheng Shifei asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, are there no other gangs? Why don't the officials ignore them?"
Zhang Zhongqian said: "Those who work as laborers usually gather together with acquaintances, and beggars are gathered together. As for stealing, they all act alone. As for the government, I hope someone can manage this group of people. Didn't I say that Che Sanqian brought two people to the door before, one of whom was a laborer named Gao Dazhuang, and brought more than a dozen brothers to Che Sanqian, and the other one was the one who came today, Wei Dayong."
Cheng Shi "Oh" and said, "No wonder he calls himself Master Wei San. Look at him like that, he doesn't seem to have any skills!"
Zhang Zhongqian smiled and said, "For ordinary people, Wei Dayong is pretty good, but unfortunately he met you. This man was born in the thief and he learned fist and foot skills from somewhere. Somehow he followed Che Sanqian. He was responsible for one hall. The other hall master was tall and strong. Wei Dayong is still capable. After he was targeted by the thief in the city, he could basically not escape. The things he had just succeeded can get to his hands with his backhand. In this way, those thiefs and became people in the gang. As for those beggars, Che Sanqian was personally responsible."
At this time, Chen Suisui asked: "Since the Invincible God Fist Gang has the money for work, what protection fee is there? Then, are these beggars and thieves no longer beg for things, and they steal things?"
Zhang Zhongqian shook his head: "It's just a little less, but there are still some, but we have paid the money, so there will be no beggars or stolen ones."
Cheng Shifei asked: "Brother-in-law, are all merchants paying them bankroll? Then what happened to Wei Dayong coming to the door today?"
Zhang Zhongqian frowned and said, "It's not all. After all, someone is behind the government, so naturally he won't sell him the face of a gang in the martial arts world. As for today's affairs, I also think it's strange. With my understanding of Che Sanqian, he will definitely not be like this, so I asked Wei Dayong if Che Sanqian means "."
After thinking about it, he said again: "Wait and see, this matter will not be so easy. After all, Wei Dayong is a master of the gang, so he asked us to beat him like this. Isn't this a face that hit him with a car three thousand?"
Cheng Shifei said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, what are you afraid of? Brother Yuan, Brother Chen and me. If he dares to come, we will call him out. What are you afraid of him?"
Zhang Zhongqian smiled bitterly and said nothing.
