Every city has a place called Chicken Shit Lane.

This is too arbitrary, but at least this is the case in the land of Yanjing.

It’s just that it’s not called Jishi Alley, but Jishi Hutong.

This is a poor alley in Yanjing, and only those who cannot survive will live here.

The alley is covered with chicken excrement and duck excrement, and there is no place to stay when walking on the road.

A gust of wind blew up, stirring up a strong stench.

It's okay that it's autumn now, but if it were summer a while ago, it would be even more stench-inducing.

This place is so filthy and no one comes to clean it.

It's just that the poor people here have great difficulties just to survive, so how can they have the spare time to take care of this?

But there is only one house that looks particularly clean compared to the messy and dirty places around it.

Although there is some dust in front of the door, at least there is no dirt and you can stay.

Although the lintel is in poor condition, at least it is not covered with cobwebs.

The people who live here have not lost hope in life.

If any old residents of Jishi Hutong come here, they will say: "They just moved here, they are poor and sophisticated."

This family indeed just moved here last year.

There are three people, the father is called Zhao Da, he has his wife and a daughter.

Such a family, in normal years, would never die of hunger as long as they were willing to work.

But now it’s no longer possible. There are many homeless refugees in Yanjingdu.

Neighbors have heard from the Zhao family that their ancestors were once wealthy and had a house in Yanjing.

Unfortunately, in recent decades, the taxes collected by the court have become increasingly heavy.

The corvee became more and more heavy.

There were eight people in their family, but the eldest son and the second son were taken to build rivers and died.

The youngest son was only five years old, and Zhao Da saw that he could no longer support him, so he became cruel and sent him to the palace to become a eunuch.

I finally recovered a few years ago and gave birth to a daughter.

The imperial court began to fight again, taxes became even heavier, and the other two sons were forced to become adults again.

Without the young men, the Zhao family will have no money.

With no choice but to sell his ancestral home, Zhao Da came to Jishi Hutong.

But even so, Zhao Da wanted to live well until today...

As soon as Zhao Dagang came back from his hard work, a group of gangsters kicked open the door.

My wife and daughter hid in the room and shivered.

"You guys, I wonder where I have offended you?"

Zhao Da bent down and asked with a smile.

"It's been so long since you've moved here and you still don't understand the rules?"

A skinny gangster came over and slapped Zhao Da directly.

Slap this hardworking man to the ground.

"Didn't you know that this chicken shit alley is covered by our subterranean python gang?"

The skinny little bastard spat viciously: "Things you can't see!"

Zhao Da still didn't know what they meant, so he covered his swollen mouth and still smiled.

"But this year we have all paid money to the Golden Knife Gang..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked over by a gangster again.

"Damn it, what is the Golden Knife Gang? You pay them, but you don't want to pay us?

Are you looking down on our Hidden Python Gang?!"

Zhao Da struggled to get up, smiling uglier than crying.

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

The gangsters on the side had already rushed into the room and started rummaging around without any taboos.

Suddenly, a woman screamed in the room, followed by a girl crying.

Zhao Da's expression changed and he saw a few gangsters dragging a middle-aged woman out.

The woman was holding a crying girl tightly in her arms, but the gangsters pulled her away.

The girl cried heartbrokenly, but to no avail.

"Okay, okay! The girl is older, but she is still pretty. How much money can she get if she buys her from a brothel?

The girl is too young, so if she sells it to the Jiaofang Department, she will be even more valuable!"

The skinny gangster rubbed his hands and grinned lewdly.

Zhao Da's eyes widened and he roared. He burst out with strength from nowhere, lowered his head and dived, hitting the skinny bastard in the stomach.

The skinny little gangster was in pain and kicked Zhao Da away.

"Hit me! Beat me hard!"

The skinny little gangster arched his back, pointed at Zhao Da and roared.

The companion next to him ran over and punched and kicked Zhao Da.

"Don't hit my daddy! Don't hit my daddy!"

The girl screamed.

The skinny little gangster was already angry when Zhao Da hit him like this. When he heard the girl cry, he became even more furious. He stepped forward and slapped her in the face.

But before the slap fell, a figure appeared in front of him.

Before the skinny little bastard could react, his palm had been broken by the man.

He immediately screamed, the scream was heartbreaking, even louder than the cry of a girl.

It turns out that bullies are also afraid of pain.

The girl stopped crying and looked down at the figure with big eyes.

He is so tall, but girls instinctively feel close to him.

This person is none other than Zhao Sheng!

Just when he was on the street, he thought that someone was going to deal with Xiao Guizi.

But who can Xiao Guizi offend? What they want to deal with is definitely not Xiao Guizi personally.

"The struggle in the palace has started again, and someone is going to take action against Zuo Zongyuan again this time?"

Zhao Sheng thought so at that time.

Then I thought one after another that apart from Mr. Hai and Xiao Guizi, he was the only one left in Zuo Zongyuan.

Mr. Hai is old and has no worries, so he cannot deal with him.

Xiao Guizi's father and brother have been captured once, will it be his turn next?

Although Zhao Sheng has no feelings for his predecessor's family, he does not want them to be imprisoned because of him.

So he hurried over and saw this scene in front of him.

His face was expressionless, he raised his hand and slapped away the thin gangster who was bending over and covering his hands.

"Who are you? Dare to interfere with our Qian Python Gang's affairs..."

A person next to him yelled angrily, but before he could finish his words, Zhao Sheng rushed forward and slapped him.

The slap was so fierce that the man spun in the air several times before falling heavily to the ground.

Everyone was shocked and did not dare to hit Zhao Da again.

Zhao Sheng looked at them coldly, as if they were looking at some offal.

This time, his shots were harder than in Sanli Alley.

All the gangsters fell to the ground, and they couldn't even cry out.

Zhao Da staggered to his feet, his whole body covered in bruises, except for one side of his cheek that was particularly seriously injured.

"Who hit me?"

Zhao Sheng asked coldly.

Zhao Da was stunned for a moment and pointed at the skinny little gangster next to him who was still screaming.
