Humane Yongchang

Chapter 23

The lights are on.

Chen Sheng sat in the Baiwei Distillery in Beishi, leisurely tasting the three or two dishes of snacks in front of him.

Not long after, Zhao Si, who brought Chen Fu, the chief of the North City Pavilion, back home, wrapped in the smell of alcohol and returned.

He sat heavily crooked across from Chen Sheng, and complained in a low voice, "Is this dog cat transformed from a hog? It ate three dishes of mutton, a catty of lamb tripe, and two catties of millet wine!"

Chen Sheng smiled and poured out a cup of hot soup for him and pushed it in front of him: "Then what else did husband Chen say to you on his way home?"

Zhao Si picked up the hot soup, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, spit out a mouthful of alcohol and said: "What else can I say, I'm sorry, how difficult it is for him to be the pavilion leader, and how the brothers under his command do not listen to the envoy... According to me Look, this dog is clearly trying to cheat some money!"

At the banquet just now, he had given Chen Fu ten taels of silver.

Chen Sheng refilled the hot soup for him again in advance of the kettle, and said unhurriedly, "I am not afraid that he will ask for money, but I am afraid that he will not want the money... From now on, you will send people every day and give him fifty big coins. , can't give more, can't give up!"

"This kind of role, you have to hang him slowly and let him take the initiative to do things for us!"

Zhao Si picked up the hot soup and was about to drink it, when he heard the words, he put it down again: "Dalang, in your opinion, what is the attitude of the county government towards us?"

"Should be pretty good!"

Chen Sheng put down the kettle and said thoughtfully, "Fangcai, I heard Chen Fu mention the county chief Liu many times. The county chief is in charge of taxation and corvée in a county. I guess it should be our actions in Beicheng and Dongcheng that make the taxation of these two cities. It has grown a lot, so that Master Liu treats us differently!"

Zhao Siyi was overjoyed and blurted out: "Then don't we need to take into account the views of the county government?"

Chen Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhao Fourth Uncle, Master Liu is in charge of taxation, corvée and servitude, and everything we do in the Tiger Hall is within the purview of the commander-in-chief, including the chiefs of these pavilions in Chen County, all of them are prefectures. Lord Yu's subordinates, once Lord Junwei decides to attack our Tiger Hall, there is no need to inform Lord Liu, and it is unlikely that Lord Liu will conflict with our colleagues for our sake."

Zhao Sining raised his eyebrows and said, "Doesn't that mean that it's useless for us to invite these pavilion chiefs to drink and eat meat?"

"How can it be useless..."

Chen Sheng picked up the water bowl in front of him and took a shallow sip: "Eat the meat one by one, drink the wine one by one, and make relationships and friendships, step by step."

"Now let's invite these pavilions to drink and eat meat, in order to convey an attitude of obedience to the lords of the county office. With this attitude, as long as there is no conflict of interests that cannot be circumvented, the adults of the county office will not be in a hurry. Move towards us..."

Zhao Si felt dizzy when he heard these twists and turns, and before he finished speaking, he waved his hands in a hurry and said: "These things, Dalang, you can know what you have in mind, not to mention listening to the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle just talks about you. Whatever, do it!"

Chen Sheng smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to rest early... By the way, now the Tiger Hall is all on your shoulders, and your own safety must also be taken care of. Take it seriously, take a few more guards when you go out later, don't overturn the boat in the gutter!"

Zhao Si laughed when he heard the words: "Da Lang has been thinking too much, the fourth uncle has been playing with eagles all his life, how could he be pecked by these house sparrows... Don't worry, the fourth uncle usually travels with people, and we are both Picking up an alley with few people and walking away, it's not so easy for ordinary people to catch your fourth uncle's whereabouts!"

Chen Sheng thought about it and thought so too.

Although this guy often talks about "I'm a rough person", but in fact it is a rough and a fine one.

For example, since he appeared in Beishi, he has never walked through the door of the Chen family again.

"You know what you have in mind... You go first, I will go through the back door, the second uncle and the others will wait for me at the back door."

Zhao Si nodded, got up and said: "Then the fourth uncle will go first... By the way, the fourth uncle who lives in Tangkou has been selected, and it is in Chang'an Square next door to our house. You are free tomorrow, go take a look! "

Chen Sheng responded and said, "I'll go there tomorrow night."

Zhao Si waved goodbye with a smile and turned to go out.

Chen Sheng sat alone in front of Fang Ji, raised his chopsticks and sent the last few pieces of boiled mutton on the plate into his mouth, and reviewed the meeting between Zhao Si and Chen Fu tonight.

After once again confirming that there was nothing suspicious about Chen Fu's performance all night, he slowly got up and walked towards the back door of the restaurant.

However, before he could walk out of the bar, he heard a familiar roar from a distance.

Hearing this roar, Chen Sheng's heart thumped, "It's Zhao Si!"

He rushed to the back door in three steps and two steps, and shouted in a low voice, "Second Uncle!"

The next second, a forearm-length waist knife flew in from outside the fence: "Take it, don't walk around, I'll take a look!"

Chen Hu's voice, mixed with a series of rapid and heavy footsteps, quickly disappeared.

Chen Sheng picked up the waist knife and wandered around anxiously for two laps.

"The county government?"

"It can't be the prefecture! A prefecture's office, to deal with an idle man in the market, do you still need to be so sneaky? Just send troops to arrest it!"

"Those small businessmen in the East City of Beishi?"

"It's not very likely. People will have a herd mentality. So many small businessmen have paid, who would be so foolish as to jump out and be the first bird? The way of doing things is not enough to force these people to that degree."

"A big family?"

"The scope is too large to analyze, but Zhao Si can unite half of the streets of Chen County in such a short period of time, and these tigers can't see that there are people behind him? In this case, even if someone is watching If you get this cake in Zhao Si's hands, you will directly go to the Chen family to force people, and if you play this kind of black hand, aren't you afraid of forcing the Chen family and him to die?"

"Oh shit!"

Chen Sheng scolded irritably in a low voice, clenched his waist knife, opened the back door of the wine shop, and rushed out.

In the alley behind the wine shop, Wu Shitou was pulling the ox cart and guarding the surroundings.

When I was young, I was not afraid to encounter such a thing!
Seeing Chen Sheng come out, he hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you doing out, go back quickly!"

"It's not safe inside!"

Chen Sheng shook his head and asked, "Which direction did the second uncle go?"

Wu Shitou pointed to the right side of the entrance of the alley ahead, and finally said in surprise, "Big brother, don't go!"

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and pressed Wu Shitou, who was about to jump from the ox cart, back: "Don't make trouble, don't worry, ordinary people don't even know who I am!"

After speaking, he hid the waist knife in the sleeve of his right arm, held it with his backhand, and rushed out of the alley.

As soon as he rushed out of the alley, he heard a loud shout from the right side: "The thief goes away!"

Chen Sheng took a closer look and saw Chen Hu holding a gold and iron hookah, chasing a man in black who was wrapped in black and holding a bright long blade, rushing towards this side.

A move in his heart, he quickly pretended to be frightened, and shrank to the corner in panic, seeing the man in black holding a long blade and threatening him with gestures, and his face full of fear, he would hide the big sword with the short blade. He raised his sleeves in front of him, shivering and covered his face... just like the legendary ostrich that would stick its head into the desert in case of danger.

The man in black who died on the run saw this young man in white, who looked like a wealthy family, was frightened by himself, and his heart was relieved.

Just when the man in black rushed in front of Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng, who was shivering, suddenly stretched out his foot.

"Pfft."

The man in black stumbled to the ground on the spot, and threw a dog heavily, and the sound of his teeth gnawing on the ground was painful to hear!

But at this moment, the man in black didn't care about the pain, his strong body was standing on the ground, and he was about to turn over.

But Chen Sheng, who has been planning for a long time, is obviously faster than him.

Almost at the moment when the man in black was tripped to the ground by him, he quickly got up, pulled out the waist knife in the sleeve of his right arm with his left hand, flew up to the man on top of the man, and suppressed the man in black.

"Go away!"

The man in black roared furiously, with his left arm on the ground, he was about to force Chen Sheng to turn over.

As long as he turned over, he could swing the long blade of his right hand and chop this little beast to death.

Aware of the power gap between himself and the man in black, Chen Sheng knew that he couldn't hold him back, so he didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

He lifted his legs forward and changed his pressure to riding, freeing his arms.

Then his right hand grabbed his bun and held his head.

He grabbed the waist knife in his left hand and stabbed it into his neck fiercely, twisting it!
"what……"

The man in black let out a miserable howl, struggling frantically.

Juli jolted Chen Sheng on his back like a matador riding a mad bull.

Chen Sheng was afraid that he would be thrown off by him, so he simply pulled out his waist knife.

"Pfft."

The hot blood spurted from the blade splattered his face, he instinctively closed his eyes, but the waist knife in his hand stabbed down again.

This time, the man in black finally had no strength to struggle, his strong body twitched a few times, and he lost his life.

Just in time, Chen Hu arrived, put down the hookah and pulled Chen Sheng up from the man in black, and patted his shoulder with admiration: "As expected of the species of our Chen family caravan, ruthless and black enough! "

At this moment, the ruthlessness subsided, and Chen Sheng felt a sense of fear and disgust in his heart. Hearing this sentence, he felt nothing in an instant, and he could only sigh angrily, secretly talking about family education like the Chen family. , it is strange to be able to cultivate good people!

"How is Uncle Zhao?"

he asked.

"It's okay!"

Chen Hu said, "He reacted fast enough, and the people from Tiger Hall came in time enough, so he was stabbed in the right arm, don't worry!"

"Whose?"

This is Chen Sheng's second sentence.

Chen Hu: "I don't know yet, there were five who did it, Zhao Si killed one, and the remaining four fled in all directions when the people from the Tiger Hall came, and the gang of trash dared not chase, so I rushed over. , Seeing that Zhao Si was all right, I looked at this and fled here, afraid that he would bump into you and Wu Shitou, so I chased after him, and I didn't expect to let your kid clean up!"

Chen Sheng's mind changed sharply, and he still wanted to speak, when he saw the sound of doors and windows being opened around him, he turned around and said, "Let Fourth Uncle Zhao pull the body to the site of the Tiger Hall... Stone, come and put this body on it, we Walk!"

As he spoke, he took off his blood-stained robe and threw it on the ground to cover it.

……

After half an hour, Chen Sheng, who took a shower and put on clean clothes, entered the lobby of the Tiger Hall from the back door of the Tiger Hall, accompanied by Chen Hu.

At the right time, Zhao Si had already driven all the scoundrels in the station to the outside of the station, guarding the entrance.

In the lobby, only Zhao Si and two naked corpses were left hanging on his right arm.

　Fengyun seems to have caught a cold, and after sleeping all day, people are still dizzy, there is only this chapter...
