wait a minute

Chapter 8
At noon, the river bank was windy and windy.

Several empty ships were docked in the port, and there were few people in the market at the pier, and shouts came from the Goulan wine shop from time to time:
"Come and drink..."

"Big, big... oh--"

……

Most of the buildings in the market are old, but next to the river bank, there is a courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers, hidden among the trees, and only the green tiles with cornices can be seen from the pier.

The name of the manor is Qinglian Mountain Villa, which is the private residence of the rich and powerful in the capital. They only come to live in it for a few days in the midsummer, and they are usually handed over to the "Guardian" to take care of it. By the way, they watch the business of the pier; the name of the "Qinglian Gang" is also from this come.

Although it's called the 'Qinglian Gang', it has nothing to do with the Jianghu gang. Among them, the Jianghu gang is the gang leader Yang Guan, and the others are all gangsters, about a hundred or so.

Yang Guan studied art in Wuzhou Sanjue Valley since he was a child, and his skills are not bad. After taking root in the capital, relying on his connections in just a few months, he settled down the local snakes on the pier, monopolized Jiang'an pier, and recently extended his hand to the inside of the capital. , want to expand the business.

Most of the families that can do business in the capital are backed by wealthy families, either rich or noble; the streets and alleys without background have already been entrenched by local snakes.

After Yang Guan searched for a long time, he found that Tianshui Bridge was very clean!

The few merchants headed by the Pei family have money and no one in the family is an official, and there are no other local snakes grabbing land nearby.

Where is such a big fat sheep placed, like the land given to him by Bai, Yang Guan will naturally not be polite. He has been 'communicating' with merchants this month, trying to gain a firm foothold in Tianshui Bridge.

Yang Guan's ambition is undoubtedly lofty, but the consequences are also immediate.

At noon, in the Qinglian Villa, Yang Guan, who was wearing an official robe, was in the living room, talking eloquently:

"Pei Sanniang from Tianshui Bridge really doesn't show face. Yang has sent invitations twice, but she didn't show her face. She just sat down and drank tea and chatted. It's not because she is greedy for her beauty..."

"Well, Pei Sanniang has a tough temper, and she has a little friendship with the government. The nearby businesses are all looking at her. It is a good thing that Yang Yuanwai wants to send some people to help drive out the troublesome idlers. But Pei Dadong's family does not agree. We These few companies are really hard to make a decision..."

……

The big bosses are all wealthy merchants near Tianshui Bridge. The merchants dare not offend Yang Guan, a tycoon like Yang Guan. , then this 'hard money' really has to be given.

Yang Guan also didn't know why the Pei family's woman was the head of the house, why her tone was so harsh.I still want to show kindness and power, and let a few bosses pass the message on their behalf, when suddenly there is a shout from outside:

"Master, Master..."

Several officials in the living room shut their voices and looked outside the door.

Yang Guan, who was wearing an official robe, patted the teacup on the desk:

"How many times have I told you to call my boss."

The man with the sword came running in from the living room, and came in panting:
"Master, there is a visitor. Chen Biaotou from Tianshui Bridge is driving, and he says he is the young master of the Pei family..."

"Ok?"

Several Yuanwailang were taken aback when they heard this.

The eldest son of the Pei family, Pei Luo, is quite well-known.Because he is the only seedling of the Pei family, the Pei family indulged him since he was a child, and he was a well-known prodigal son in the neighborhood.

Yang Guan had obviously heard of the reputation of Young Master Pei, and his eyes were surprised:

"Pei Sanniang doesn't come in person, and letting such a dude come to the door, is it to prevaricate Yang? Let someone come in."

Seeing this, several Yuanwailang stood up:

"Then I'll take my leave first. Yang Yuanwai and Mr. Pei will talk slowly, and when the chat is finished, send someone to let me know."

Yang Guan served tea to see off the guests, and sat in the middle hall to wait.

Tread-tap-

Soon, dense footsteps sounded from the corridor outside the courtyard.

As the young man raised his hand to lead the way, a young man in black robe strode in, with a tall side, a stern face, and a decent imposing manner.

Chief Escort Chen, who was somewhat famous in Tianshui Bridge, held an umbrella in front of Xiao Pao, with a rather obsequious attitude.

And there were five bodyguards following behind, the head of which was an old man carrying a long sword with a black sheath.

Yang Guan raised his eyebrows, feeling that the person who came was not an idle dandy, so he put down his teacup.

The few wealthy merchants who had just walked out had heard about what happened at the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau yesterday, and guessed that this strange young man was the ruthless man who came yesterday, and they all stopped immediately and waved their hands in greeting:

"Young Master, you are unfamiliar. Are you the young master of the Pei family?"

Ye Jingtang didn't respond, strode up the steps, took the saber from Yang Chao, and went directly to the gate.

Kata——

The door was closed, shutting out the bewildered people.

Chen Biao almost slammed his nose on the door, and was about to ask what the Young Master's family was doing when he heard a voice from inside the room:

choke-

The sound of drawing a knife!
In the room, Yang Guan, who was sitting at the main seat, realized that the momentum was wrong, so he raised his hand and reached for the broad-backed sword placed under the middle hall.

Also at the same moment, Ye Jingtang's figure suddenly charged forward, the long knife was unsheathed in mid-air, and he slashed Huashan Mountain with all his strength, directly on the top of Yang Guan's head.

Sa——

There was a flash of knife light in the living room.

Yang Guan's skill is not bad, the big knife has already been raised in front of him in the blink of an eye, but the difference in explosive power between them is too great, just as he raised his hand, he was hit by a heavy knife, and the back of the knife hit his chest, directly crushing the Taishi chair he was sitting on.

wow-

"you--"

Yang Guan fell to the ground, wanting to reprimand him angrily, but found that the boy who suddenly came to the door in front of him was directly aiming at killing people, and in a blink of an eye, he stabbed at the door of his heart again.

Yang Guan was terrified, the art he had learned since he was a child was brought into full play at this moment, he stomped on the floor with both feet, abruptly opened the distance from the blade, and at the same time raised the blade to fight back.

when--

The blades collided again.

Yang Guan slashed out without hurting his opponent, but was slashed back by the opponent's huge force. The lacquered wood hall with his back was crushed immediately, and he fell out of the rear hallway.

"cough--"

Yang Guan fell into the rain curtain in the courtyard behind, let out a muffled cough, and rolled to the side with all his strength before he could look ahead.

As he expected, the next moment, a knife slashed where he landed, more than three points into the stone.

"You bastard..."

Yang Guan scrambled to his feet, holding the knife with a furious face and wanted to speak, but saw the expressionless young man, pulled out the long knife and came again, unhurriedly, and even twisted his neck, his eyes were not fierce, only It's as usual as usual.

Yang Guan was terrified in his heart, he didn't see anything else, only that this kid must have killed someone.

He held the knife in both hands and yelled angrily, seemingly wanting to rush forward, but his footsteps moved to the back of the house. After taking a few steps away, he ran towards the backyard with the knife in hand, shouting at the same time:

"Come here, the mother is dead..."

clang--

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a biting cold wind came from behind.

Yang Guan's skill is really not bad, with a backhand knife, he accurately blocked the knife's edge, but his body couldn't bear the huge force, he was directly chopped forward and fell to the ground, and the knife in his hand was also shaken out of his hand.

Ding bang——

Yang Guan didn't have time to take care of the big knife, so he got up and wanted to run to the back room, but this time there was no chance, just as he got up, the back of his head sank, and his boots directly pressed against the wet bluestone floor tiles, a cold light shot from his eyes fall.

chap——

"Wait a minute, young man! Spare your life, spare your life..."

In the rainy and elegant courtyard, a heart-piercing cry came out.

Ye Jingtang stood quietly in the rain, stepped on Yang Guan's left cheek, the blade was stuck in front of his eyes, looked down, and only then did he show some expression:
"You post a message to Pei's family and ask someone to talk about it? What are you talking about, let's talk about it."

Yang Guan's expression was distorted, but he wasn't angry at all, he just stared at the knife in front of him:

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I was confused by lard, and I didn't know that Shaoxia was also from Pei's family. This is the capital, and it's hard to explain people's lives, so don't be impulsive, Shaoxia..."

"I heard that you are the apprentice of the 'Three Absolute Immortals'. This skill is not quite like it."

?

Yang Guan didn't expect this kid to know who his master was, but he didn't dare to be crazy now, and quickly explained:
"Registered apprentice, my family has a little friendship with my master, I went to the door to learn art for a few years, but I didn't get a real pass, and I made the hero laugh..."

"For the sake of your master's reputation, I spare your life."

"Thank you young hero for your kindness... ah——"

Before Yang Guan finished speaking, there was a scream.

I saw the blade was pulled out and then dropped, directly inserted into the right arm, nailed like a bluestone.

Yang Guan's face twisted directly, and he looked at Ye Jingtang with frightened eyes, unable to speak at all.

"I made this knife because I was afraid that you would think that I would not dare to strike. I may not be able to kill your master, but it is really easy to kill you. Let me go."

chap——

Ye Jingtang pulled out his saber, wiped the bloody blade on Yang Guan's clothes, put the saber back into its sheath, turned and walked towards the living room.

Yang Guan gritted his teeth tightly, covered his bleeding right arm and got up, he dared not cry out in pain, and watched Ye Jingtang leave.

squeak-

The living room door opens.

In the courtyard outside, dozens of rogues holding iron weapons had already surrounded; bodyguards such as Yang Chao and Chen Biao stood guard in front of the door holding knives as if facing an enemy.

And several rich merchants with surprised faces stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Ye Jingtang closed the door, threw the knife to Yang Chao, took the umbrella and put it on top of his head:
"It's over, let's go."

"So easy..."

Chen Biao muttered something in a low voice, but didn't ask what to do. After all, the noise and screams inside the room were heard by people outside, and even fools knew how to talk about it.

A group of thugs in the yard, seeing that the 'leader' didn't show up, didn't dare to stop them, they all stepped out of the way in the rain.

The wealthy merchants didn't know whether this young man of the Pei family hacked Yang Guan to death directly, and they didn't dare to talk to him.

rustling...

There was no sound in the huge manor, only a black umbrella floated out of the alleyway between the white walls and blue tiles unhurriedly.

It wasn't until the carriage left the gate that the sound reappeared in the yard:
"Guild Leader? Guild Leader, are you okay? How dare this lunatic... report to the police..."

"Get out! A bunch of trash...report to the officials..."
