20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 117

The sun was setting and the sky was dark.

On Siping Street, diagonally across from Huifang Lane, is Rongji Hat Shop - the most fashionable business nowadays.

In the mirror, Jiang Xiaodao was wearing a dark brown Western-style felt hat, with a high top and wide brim, and the sides were slightly tilted up. Looking left and right, he looked beautiful, and the shopkeeper's flattering words followed.

"Oh! Brother, I have to say that you have such a temperament. Once you put this hat on, it's quite exciting, like a Western cowboy!"

"What?" Jiang Xiaodao took off his hat, "What? I look like a cow herder?"

"No, no, no!" the shopkeeper said with a smile, "I'm not a cowherd. I may also be herding cows, but I'm not a cowherd! This is a cowboy hat you have in your hand. It's a foreign product. It's rare. In Fengtian, I'm the only one here. One family has it!”

Jiang Xiaodao fiddled with the hat in his hand and curled his lips.

"This is the same as the top hat hanging on your wall. Except for the color, there is no difference!"

"The materials and shapes are also different! Look at this one, the material is..."

"Don't introduce me!" Jiang Xiaodao waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want the cowherd hat!"

The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother, this is really not a cowherd boy's hat. The United States has developed this!"

"Pull him down! Fool me!"

"Hey! It's true! Don't you know that I'm selling this thing? If you don't believe it, go to the Xiaoxi Bianmen Consulate and ask around. If I tell lies, a thunder will strike me to death."

Jiang Xiaodao was doubtful and asked, "Is this really true?"

"That's not the case!" the shopkeeper said enthusiastically, "I heard what the foreigners said! America! Cowboys! A bunch of people are running around, they are all ruthless people, playing with guns, single-handedly, click!"

"Ah! After talking for a long time, we just want to break into Guandong!" Jiang Xiaodao nodded if he realized something, "Then the cowboy is...the American mustache?"

"Hey, yes, yes, that's about it!" The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Brother, how about one? This thing is rare! Everyone is wearing top hats, so you come here, it's so dignified!"

"It's interesting, it's interesting!"

Jiang Xiaodao was moved, and just when he was about to pay, he suddenly heard a sound coming from across the street. He stretched his neck and looked outside, only to see Lao Yanpao and Tie Gaoda being coaxed out of "Huifangli" by his fifth uncle.

Jiang Xiaodao quickly returned the hat to the shopkeeper.

"I have something to do now, leave the hat for me!"

"Hey, brother, this new gadget is a hot commodity. Take it now, brother! Brother!"

……

……

Lao Yanpao and Tie Geda were driven to the street. Although "Huifangli" returned the money and gave them a piece as compensation, they were still a little resentful.

Lao Yanpao dared not speak out when he was angry, so he just vented his anger on Tie Liaoda.

"You bastard! Did your head explode or something? What the hell are you trying to do? My old face has been completely ruined by you!"

"Can you blame me? How did I know that I would encounter such a tough situation? Besides, they also lost money. In such a big business, you have to be reasonable!"

What Tie Liaoda said actually makes sense.

In the marketplace, the bigger the business, the calmer the shopkeeper is, and he will dance with guns and sticks at every turn. This is a trick played by local gangsters in small shops.

What a true great man in the world wants is popularity and reputation, and he also pays attention to persuading people with virtue - even if it's just pretending.

What happened today was that my own girl was actually beating someone up. If Xu Ruqing were here, I would definitely be able to make these two people happy and maintain a trace of dignity.

The two of them were bickering when someone from across the street suddenly shouted.

"Man! What a coincidence, we meet here again."

Jiang Xiaodao trotted all the way and came to the two of them. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Hey! Men, what's going on with you two? Why are you so pale after visiting the brothel?"

Tie Giaoda didn't have many acquaintances in Fengtian, so when he saw Xiaodao, he couldn't help but complain.

"Hey! Brother, forget it, I was in there just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Yanpao coughed violently and cursed: "It's such a shame, and you still show it off!"

Tie Gupao turned his head away with a frown and said nothing.

Jiang Xiaodao looked at the two of them, rolled his eyes, and asked tentatively: "What's wrong? Didn't you have a good time? Oops! That's because you entered the wrong door. What kind of bad place is this? Don't look at the size of the store, it's dark inside. Here, no one goes there at all!”

"Can't you? I see there are quite a lot of people there!"

"Hey!" Jiang Xiaodao slapped his thigh, "That's all shilling! Didn't you say that no matter where you go, if you want to have a good time, you have to go to those small places, that's the fun!"

"No need! No need!" Lao Yanpao waved his hand quickly, "It's getting late, we have to find a place to sleep."

"Don't worry, man!"

Jiang Xiaodao hugged Tie Qiaodu, then approached Lao Yanpao, and asked mysteriously: "Have you ever played in the Gaoli Kiln?"

"Goryeo kiln?" Upon hearing this, Tie Giaoda's eyes glowed green, as if he had become a spirit, "That must be quite expensive, right?"

"It's so expensive! It's only three to five yuan, and I'm singing a little tune to you while I'm doing it!"

"Sing a little tune?"

"That's not true!" Jiang Xiaodao hummed in a decent manner, "They're all rubbish~ They're all rubbish~ They're all rubbish~"

"Hey! Are you having so much fun!" Tie Liaoda's face was full of excitement and he asked with a lewd smile, "Real or false? Have you been there?" "Hey!" Jiang Xiaodao waved his hand, "Go often, Smecta!"

"Oh! Brother, I didn't expect that you are also a sexy person!"

"It's too late to meet! It's too late to meet!"

The two shook hands excitedly and did not want to separate for a long time.

"Brother, let's go hang out together?" Jiang Xiaodao asked.

Tie Qiaoda didn't dare to agree easily, so he turned his head, put on a pitiful look, and said, "Uncle, I'm here."

Lao Yanpao had a livid face and pondered for a long time before asking, "How old are you?"

……

……

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the orange-red street lights are reflected on the cold asphalt road.

It was already very late, and although there were buildings around, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, so it looked empty.The three of them were obviously wearing soft-soled shoes, but they could still hear clear footsteps as they walked.

"Brother, where is that place? Why haven't we arrived yet?" Tie Gupada breathed heavily.

"It's coming soon, don't worry, good things come in a long way!"

Jiang Xiaodao walked side by side with the visitor. He seemed to have said similar words many times.

Lao Yanpao was a little tired from walking, and at the same time he gradually became suspicious.

"Tie Giaoda, otherwise, let's not go! It's late at night!"

"No, uncle, you've been gone for so long, are you still shaking?"

Tie Liao is obsessed with evil, and he only thinks about "all rubbish", and has long been blinded by the illusion of color.

Lao Yanpao glanced at Jiang Xiaodao and saw a faint smile on his face. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He grabbed his nephew's wrist and shouted: "We're not going, let's go quickly!"

Tie Liaoda struggled to break away and complained: "Why are you leaving! If you want to leave, you can leave, but I won't leave!"

The old smoker's eyes widened, and for the first time in his life he regretted hitting his nephew on the head with his pipe pot.

"You bastard! If I tell you to leave, just leave!"

At this time, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly stretched out his hand to block Lao Yanpao's path, and asked with a smile: "Man, what do you mean by this? Do you not believe me?"

Lao Yanpao waved his hand quickly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "No, no, we just don't want to go suddenly."

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, the old man always felt something fishy based on his years of experience. No matter how he said it, he was determined to leave.

Jiang Xiaodao shook his head helplessly and suddenly pointed to a building in front of him.

"Man, this is the Fengtian Patrol Police Station! The yamen gate is right here. What are you afraid of?"

Patrol station?

Lao Yanpao suddenly looked up and saw that it was true!
Over there at the door, there were two patrol officers on duty, standing there smoking.

"Why did you bring us two here?"

Lao Yanpao was even more confused.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaodao's eyes suddenly froze, his body looked like a ghost, his left hand turned into a palm, and he struck straight at the occipital bone of the back of Lao Yanpao's head.

Lao Yanpao suddenly felt his scalp numb, his eyes blackened, and he threw himself forward. When he was about to fall, Jiang Xiaodao grabbed his neck again, pushed him down, raised his right leg to the knee, and hit him hard in the lower abdomen. superior.

Jiang Xiaodao had been trained by his fourth uncle Jin Xiaoyi for five years. His hands were extremely strong, his attacks were dark and sinister, his intentions were ruthless, and his speed was so fast that the iron knot stayed in place, unable to react.

Lao Yanpao was already very old, but he was hit by two consecutive shots of "Jade Pillow" and "Qi Sea". In the blink of an eye, he collapsed to the ground, curled up in a ball, and kept twitching.

After removing the old guy's strength first, Jiang Xiaodao frowned and focused on dealing with the younger one.

Tie Qiaoda also came to his senses. Although he was not smart, he had brute strength. He immediately cursed and rushed towards Jiang Xiaodao.

But how could Jiang Xiaodao fight with him head-on, but he saw him tapping his toes, stepping back, raising his hand again, and already taking out the box cannon hidden in his arms.

"do not move!"

Tie Liaodao suddenly stopped his steps and froze in place. He was about to ask for mercy when he heard a "bang" sound. He was so frightened that he instinctively closed his eyes, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xiaodao deliberately missed the shot just to take advantage of this moment. In the gap, he stepped forward, kicked hard, and hit the crotch!
"Fuck me!"

Such an insidious move, no matter how tough you are, you will instantly stoop. Jiang Xiaodao saw the right moment, holding the handle of the gun in his right hand, swinging his big clock arm, and stabbed Tiedao's left temple!

There was a muffled sound, and Tie Gupao was stunned and fell to the ground.

The punches will not stop until the person is dead!
Jiang Xiaodao didn't dare to neglect, he immediately leaned over and stepped forward, riding Tie Biaodu under him, holding the handle of the gun in his hand, and tried his best to gouge the back of his head, one after another, until the other party was completely limp, and then he took it out from his arms. The hemp rope was put around Tie Biao's neck. He stood up and tightened it through gritted teeth.

The iron lump was lying on the ground, muttering. He struggled to open his eyes and looked at the two patrolmen on duty not far away. He stretched out his hands and scratched in the air. He wanted to shout but couldn't. He only felt that his vision was getting blurry.

It wasn't until he had a hemp rope around his neck that he vaguely saw the two patrolmen flicking the cigarette butts out of their hands and slowly walking down the steps, talking and laughing as they walked towards him.

Even until his death, Tie Gandao didn't understand what the two patrolmen were laughing at, and who was Jiang Xiaodao?

Also, can the kiln girl from Goryeo know how to sing a little tune while cooking...
