The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 12
The four of them rested for a while, and then came straight to the city on their oxen.

After entering the city, the streets are bustling with people riding horses and sedan chairs to and fro, people carrying carts and carts hurrying by, street stalls for performing arts are constantly shouting, and prostitutes are showing off their colorful branches to attract people.

There are constant shouts of buying and selling, and the business is busy and the transactions are non-stop.

Duan Yingchun led the cattle and went straight to the livestock market where cattle and horses were bought and sold.

When I came to the livestock market, I saw that it was a huge market, with herds of cattle and horses, and there were thousands of people at least.

There are clusters of people talking about prices here and there, and the whole market is thriving.

Duan Yingchun found a place to tie up the cattle, and then yelled loudly, and within a short time, two of the cattle were sold. Since they were full of fat, each head was sold for a good price, and the two cattle were bought together. I bought 30 taels of silver.

Holding the heavy silver, Duan Yingchun was beaming with joy.

"Wuji, selling these two cows will be enough for us, and the rest will be our family's profit."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and eight or nine burly men were seen walking unsteadily from a distance, cursing and murmuring indistinctly while walking.

"Damn, both buyers and sellers have to pay protection fees. If you don't pay protection fees, you want grandpas to drink northwest wind? Everyone really deserves a beating."

"Hey, brother, how many people did you hit today?"

"Hey, brother, I am kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and I beat nine people today. Unlike you, you can beat dozens of people a day."

"Hey! Brother, what do you say today? Are you good-hearted and capable in our business? Our job is to hide our conscience so that we can drink and eat meat all day long. Otherwise, who would give it to us for nothing? Money? In fact, working in our line of work is quite hard all day long."

"Well, what you said is true, well, let's see how many deals we do today."

"Okay, then let's act separately, in groups of four, let's see who has done the most business today? Also made the most money?"

"Okay, let's compare today."

Saying that, the boys separated.

When Duan Wuji saw him, he whispered to Duan Yingchun and his two uncles: "Second grandfather, two uncles, I don't think we can escape today, and when we are asked later, please don't give us your real names and surnames." , if you report your real name and surname, it will be a great disadvantage to us."

"Then what village should we report? What should we report as our surname?"

Duan Yingchun thought for a while and said: "By the way, there is a big village ten miles away from the city called Dawangzhuang. I have been to that village a few times and I am quite familiar with it. Most of the people in this village are surnamed Wang.

Later we will report to that village, let's say that they are all surnamed Wang, and their names, I don't think they should be changed, what do you think? "

The three listened and nodded.

"Okay, let's do it like this, let's not talk about showing our mouths later."

Duan Wuji said to his second grandfather with a smile: "Second grandfather, hide your money for selling cattle first, and don't let some boys search for it later, so we will lose a lot!"

Duan Yingchun nodded. "Well, I see."

After speaking, Duan Yingchun hurriedly hid the few silver coins she sold.

After a short time, this group of people really came to the place where Duan Yingchun sells cattle.

"I said whose cow is this? Is it fat enough?"

After hearing this, Duan Yingchun hurried over.

"Masters, this is my cow, what's the matter?"

"Of course something happened, hurry up and pay the protection fee."

Duan Yingchun asked with a lost smile: "Then how much will you pay?"

"How much? We don't want much from you. Just pay 20 taels for the four cows. Do you think we don't want much?"

Duan Yingchun grinned when she heard this: "Grandpas, these cows are not worth a lot. If you hold your hands high, why don't you ask for less?"

"Less less? You let our brothers drink the northwest wind? Let me tell you, you can't do without a dime."

Duan Yingchun smiled wryly after hearing this: "Grandpa hero, think about it, who sells cattle with a lot of money from home? We are not cattle buyers?

This time we came out of the house without a single son. I plan to sell the cow to buy some fire-roasted meat for my grandson to eat. You see that no cow has been sold yet, and the fire-roasted meat is also Didn't eat it.

If we don't wait until we sell the cattle, I will send the money to you.Good guys, let's be accommodating. "

One of the boys sneered for a while. "I said, old man, do you think we are fools? When you sell the cattle and you run away, where are we going to find you?

How about this, put your grandson to us, and you can redeem him after you sell the cattle!
But let me say the ugly things first, if you don't redeem him this evening, we will chop off his hand.If he doesn't redeem it the next day, we'll cut off his other hand again, do you think it's okay? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this. "Okay, let's do it like this. Grandpa, you dispose of the cow so cheaply, hurry up and redeem me! How can you eat after chopping off your hands?"

Duan Wuji pulled the second grandfather to the side and whispered: "Second grandfather, you bought these cows and left quickly, even if you can't sell them, you can take the cows and leave at noon, you don't need to worry about me."

"Wuji? Is that okay? If I really lose you, how can I explain to your parents?"

"Hey, what's the matter? I'm fine, you just leave."

The grandfather and grandson discussed it in a low voice, and Duan Wuji said loudly to these boys: "Let's go, you good guys."

After hearing this, Duan Yingchun shouted loudly: "Slow down, some good guys, when the cattle are sold out, where are we going to redeem this child?"

One of the big black men pointed with his finger. "See, the small white building to the east of the market is our residence, go there and redeem him."

Duan Changchun listened and nodded. "Well, okay. But we have to agree first, you are not allowed to abuse him during this time. He is the only seedling in our family. If you abuse him before I redeem him, I will not agree at that time. "

"Don't worry, we won't do anything to him during this time, so you can sell the cow with peace of mind. Hey, old man, where are you from?"

Duan Yingchun laughed when he heard this: "Back to Grandpa Hero, we belong to Dawang Zhuang'er."

"Oh, from Dawangzhuang'er? We know, kid, follow us now, we still have a few deals to do.

Hey, I said Xiaohouzi, keep an eye on him, don't let this kid slip away, wouldn't our work be wasted? "

A skinny kid next to him heard this and said, "Don't worry, big brother, if this kid can escape, I'm willing to pay you double the price.

I can't be that useless. "

"Well, well, let's talk about it like this. Let's go, let's go to other places and do business with him a few more times."

After finishing speaking, these boys led Duan Wuji to the next beach.

Duan Yingchun saw that they were far away, so she shouted loudly: "How about fat cattle with a lot of fat? Who is interested in it? Now each head only costs 14 taels of silver. Hey, come and see, come quickly Look, it's definitely worth the money!"

Sure enough, within an hour or so, all the cattle were processed, and the sun had just passed noon.

Duan Yingchun collected the money and whispered to her two sons: "I have agreed with Wuji, let's go quickly, and buy some steamed buns from Xiaotan, we eat while running, we must not waste time."

"Father, is this okay?"

"Hey, that's all. Wuji, the unlucky boy, came out to sell cattle with us. He didn't eat the fire-roasted meat, but followed us in fear. Alas, I'm so sorry for him."

The father and son bought a few steamed buns to eat, and ran while eating.

Besides, a few boys escorted Duan Wuji around and blackmailed more than a dozen cattle sellers in a short while.The silver taels obtained are no less than a hundred taels.

Satisfied, the boys escorted Duan Wuji straight to their residence.

The boys said as they walked: "Damn it, the business is good today. We got more than 100 taels of silver in half a day. Let's go to Yichun Tower to have fun tonight. Then Miss Chuntao from Yichun Tower It looks really cute."

"Hey, brother, let me say that Dongmei looks better than her, even though she is two years older than Chuntao, but it's the time when the flowers are blooming."

The other boy looked up at the sky and said, "Hey, big brother, second brother, let's not talk about these things, I think we should feed our stomachs first and then talk about those things. You see, the sun is a bit westward."

"Okay then, let's go eat."

Saying that, several boys escorted Duan Wuji straight to Xiaobailouer.

Walking into the small building, I saw a person sitting in the room. This person was a big black man with a beard, a high nose bridge, a pair of ring eyes, and brush eyebrows. He was only 31 or [-] years old, wearing a suit Sea blue clothes and brocade shoes with leather soles, it looks like a Lianjiazi.

The big black man saw four people coming in with a child by his side, and asked one of the big and tall ones, "Hey, Hua Bao, who is this kid?"

"Brother, this kid is one of our hostages. His grandfather has brought five cows. I think his grandfather wants 20 taels of silver for protection. His grandfather has no money for the time being, so let's put his grandson in custody first." He gave it to us, and he said that if he sold the cow, he would come to redeem him. This family, the whole family is a fool, and they don’t understand anything, so now we are rich.”

The big black man nodded. "Well, Huabao, good job, hey, Huabao, do you have any other income?"

The kid named Huabao laughed. "Brother, I'm very lucky today. In just this morning, we collected a hundred taels of silver."

Hei Da'er laughed out loud. "Well, good, good, good, as long as you work hard, I, Heihu, will never treat you badly. Come on, Yipinxiang has brought a table of banquets over. Let's have a drink first."

One of the boys asked, "Then what about this kid?"

The big black man named Hei Hu laughed loudly after hearing this: "What should I do? Let's serve cold salad.

Besides, he won’t starve to death after this hungry meal, maybe his grandfather will come to redeem him in a while, don’t worry about him, let him play on the side, let’s eat ours, come, come, sit down, let’s start Drink him three cups in a row. "

After the boys sat down, they even ate and drank. Duan Wuji saw that they had almost eaten and drank, and some of them were even red-faced after drinking.

Duan Wuji thought: If you don't do anything now, when will you wait?Don't say that my hands are black, this should be done constantly, and it will leave future troubles.

Duan Wuji saw an empty chair next to him, Duan Wuji rushed over, grabbed the back of the chair, and slammed it down on Heihu's head.

The black tiger saw that just as he was about to stand up, he heard a click, and the chair shattered.

The black tiger fell to the ground without even making a sound.

Duan Wuji casually picked up a small hot pot on the table, and smashed the soup and pot at Hou Zi who was next to Heihu. Hearing a click, the bottom of the pot was exposed, and the ring of the pot was wrapped around Hou Zi's neck. .

The boy fell down with a scream, and immediately lost his understanding of human affairs.

A boy in Duan Wuji slammed the bell into the lower abdomen of another big tall guy who had stood up, and at the same time hooked a chain foot under his feet. The boy fell on his back and fell to the ground, and the food and drink he just ate fell out of his mouth immediately. It sprayed out, Duan Wuji was not resigned to seeing it, and kicked down on the kid's face.

Just listening to the sound of ah, the kid lost his breath.

The kid named Huabao was shocked when he saw it, a lazy donkey rolled towards the door and quickly rolled, Duan Wu saw it and thought: You kid want to run?Wouldn't it be troublesome to run away?
Duan Wuji took eight steps and kicked the toad on the boy's waist and eyes, obviously he didn't take the boy seriously.

The boy pointed at Duan Wuji and scolded while spraying wine and vegetables: "Boy, how dare you fucking hit us? Anyway, I know you. If you stop now, let's cancel this debt in front of us, otherwise If so, be careful that I lead someone to finish killing your Dawangzhuang."

Well, this kid is still threatening people.

Duan Wuji sneered for a while. "Boy, I'm not afraid of doing it, but I won't do it if I'm afraid.

Don't you know me?You won't know me after a while. "

Duan Wuji said with a two-fingered pick and gouged the leopard's eyes.With a pop, two eyeballs popped out.

The leopard let out a scream and passed out.

Duan Wuji shook his hand.He said to himself: "I'm so f*cking frustrated, I'm looking for death when I meet such a two hundred and five."

As soon as Duan Wuji turned around, he immediately searched out the money from these people, then took off the leopard coat and quickly wrapped a small bundle, wrapped up all the money, and quickly tied the money around his waist.

Duan Wuji picked up a chair next to him and slammed it at Leopard's head, the chair shattered with a click.

As soon as Duan Wuji turned around, he walked out of the small white building as if nothing had happened, and then burrowed into the small alley next to him.

After a short time, Duan Wuji disappeared in the alley.
