Chapter 101
Back downstairs, the place where Zhu Chuanren was sitting had been taken away, so he had to find a new table.
Jian Yi had nowhere to go, so she sat next to Zhu Chuanren, still a little nervous, wondering if the thief who took the gift could find it back.
"Don't you have something to drink?" Zhu Chuanren asked.
"I won't drink anymore~"
"Don't think so much. My people will look for it carefully, but whether they can find it or not depends on luck."
"Thank you, really, you are a good person~"
Zhu Chuanren was speechless. There are still people who think they are good people these days?
Okay, I can only say that some people are too naive~
At this time, on the stage, Helen was wearing an aristocratic purple dress, and she was as dazzling under the light as a princess.
Guests came on stage one after another to give gifts. In the corner of the stage, there was already a mountain of gifts, large and small.
As more and more people came up to give gifts, Jian Yi became more and more nervous.
At this time, Gou Sheng'er walked along the wall of the banquet hall alone and said in Zhu Chuanren's ear:
"Third Young Master, the person has been found~"
"Oh~ Where are the things? He sold them, and I'm asking someone to find a home for them~"
"Sold? So fast?"
Gou Sheng smiled bitterly and said:
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either, but my next family is an old gangster on the road, so it's easy to find him."
"Quick speed~"
"Understand~"
The dog was left, Jian Yi looked at Zhu Chuanren expectantly:
"How about it?"
"It's not great. I found the person, but the things have been sold. My people are looking for a home!"
"You took action so soon?" Jian Yi was shocked.
"Who says it's not? Don't worry, just wait a little longer. There are so many guests, so we have to wait for another hour. It's too late."
Jian Yi was somewhat relieved, and Zhu Chuanren's words gave her some comfort.
"Thank you, I don't know what I would do without you~"
"Who made you look beautiful~"
Jian Yi's face turned red:
"What, what does this have to do with whether you are beautiful or not~"
"Of course it does matter. If it's for a man or someone who's not pretty, I won't take any notice of him~"
"Wow, why are you so straightforward?"
"This is what I call being honest!"
"You are so shameless!"
"You actually call your savior that. It breaks my heart."
Jian Yi had never seen such a shameless behavior before, and she was made blushing~
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore~"
Zhu Chuanren waved the waiter over, took two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Jian Yi.
"do you drink?"
"You can have a drink~"
"Then let's have a drink. Today's wine is pretty good~"
"I don't understand, what kind of wine is this?"
"Didn't you attend a cocktail party when you were studying abroad?"
"No, they are very messy and I never participate."
Zhu Chuanren was impressed by this girl, but she was not assimilated by those white girls.
“Tonight’s red wine is all from Chateau Margaux.”
"Margaux? I heard my father talk about Lafite~"
“Haha, actually they all belong to that area. The history of Chateau Margaux can be traced back to the 12th century AD. At that time, the chateau was called La Motte Margaux and the vineyard did not yet exist.
The ancient name of the estate is actually no coincidence, because on the flat land of the Medoc, any La Motte can be recognized at a glance, and the best wines are produced on well-drained slopes.
By the way, La Motte means little slope in French.
From 1152 to 1453, the Aquitaine region of France was controlled by the British. As a result, Bordeaux wine benefited from the new market in Britain and became the table wine of the British king in the 12th century.
In the late 17th century, Chateau Margaux occupied an area of 265 hectares, a size that has never changed since then, one-third of which is used for grape cultivation, as it still is today.
The British and Dutch drank Bordeaux wine called 'claret', which was light in color and not suitable for long storage.
Chateau Margaux then jumped to the top of the list of wine-making arts, and Bordeaux winery rankings began to take shape.
Thus Chateau Margaux was born. "
As Zhu Chuanren narrated, Jian Yi's little mouth opened wider and wider. She was already shocked by Zhu Chuanren's profound knowledge.
Not only her, but the surrounding guests also subconsciously gathered around after hearing Zhu Chuanren's words.
“With the passage of time, Chateau Margaux changed owners several times. In the early 18th century, the winery director Verron was the first winery director to start making red grapes and white grapes separately.
He does not advocate picking grapes in Foxiao because the grapes are covered with dew. If the grapes are picked in the morning, the color of the wine will be diluted and lighter due to excessive moisture due to dew.
The modern concept of winemaking began to sprout, and gradually pushed the wines of Chateau Margaux into the palace of wine excellence.
By that time, Berron had understood the importance of soil and he knew which plots were best.
The concept of terroir began to come to the fore.
In 1705, the London Gazette announced the first auction of fine Bordeaux wine: 230 barrels of Margaux, the 1771 vintage being the first red Bordeaux to appear in the Christie's catalog.
The reputation of British Premier Bordeaux wines spread far across the Atlantic, and Thomas Jefferson, the U.S. Ambassador to France, placed Château Margaux at the top of his list of the best wines in Bordeaux.
He ordered a 1784 Margaux wine and wrote that there could not be a better Bordeaux wine.
During the French Revolution, Manor Margaux was auctioned in 1801 due to the impact of the times.
Bertrand Dua, Marquis of La Colonia, acquired the estate and rebuilt the winery, which I personally think will still be stunning into the next century.
Later, during the Napoleon III period, Chateau Margaux was rated as one of the first growths in 1855 with the only perfect score.
The Second World's Fair was held in Paris in 1855, and Napoleon III took the opportunity to praise French products, including the famous Medoc wine.
He hoped to rank the wines before displaying them, so he held a blind wine tasting in Paris, which resulted in the famous official rating of 1855, which divided more than sixty Medoc wineries and one Grave winery into five levels according to quality. .
Four wineries were classified as first growth wineries, with only Margaux receiving a perfect score of 20/20.
The Second Empire in France was undoubtedly the golden age of Bordeaux wine, not only because of the railway connection between Bordeaux and Paris, but also because of the free trade agreements inspired by the emperor's liberal ideas that promoted trade.
There is no doubt that Napoleon III made a great contribution to the development of Bordeaux wine. "
At this time, a guest suddenly said:
"Sir, according to you, the red wine of Chateau Margaux should be the best red wine in France, right?"
Zhu Chuanren shook his head:
"You can't say that. In the words of our Chinese people, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The same goes for red wine. Everyone has his own preference for radish and green vegetables.
Moreover, the development of Chateau Margaux has not been smooth sailing. The vineyards have been attacked by fungi, powdery mildew and downy mildew one after another, causing heavy losses to the winery.
However, with the discovery of new treatment methods and grape replanting, Chateau Margaux gradually resumed production. The replanted grape plants were still young due to their short age.
However, the quality of the grapes produced was not satisfactory, so the winery sold it as a second wine, named Red Pavilion. "
The person who raised the question couldn't help but praise:
"Sir, you know so much!"
"Haha, the more you drink, the more you will understand."
“Thank you, Chateau Margao Red is relatively smooth and has a strong fragrance. Its biggest feature is the perfect combination of two extreme characteristics: smooth and rich fruity flavor and a long and powerful aftertaste.
Therefore, it is known as the iron fist in velvet gloves, that is to say, it is soft on the surface but very tough in reality.
If you compare Magao with Latu, then Latu is majestic and surging, while Magao is gentle and approachable.
Therefore, many people describe Latour as a masculine wine for men, and Margot as a feminine wine.
But I personally think that Magao is particularly easy to accept because of its approachable characteristics, and because it is relatively smooth, it is very suitable for people who have just started drinking.
Chateau Margaux's red wine is a full-bodied dry red wine with aromas of ripe black berries, black currants and grassy oak.
The tannins are elegant and combined with the rich taste of black truffle, chocolate and vanilla, and the black berry fruit flavor makes the finish longer.
The best food pairings are braised abalone, braised sea cucumber, tender beef tenderloin, and goat cheese.
What we are drinking now is the 1900 Chateau Margaux. This vintage of Margaux is a rare vintage and is expensive.
I think 1900 is the best vintage among Bordeaux red wines, almost the best vintage among Chateau Margaux, and has great collection value.
Some critics even called it the wine of the century.
The 1900 Margaux is relatively difficult to find. Generally, Bordeaux wine has reached its peak after aging for 30 to [-] years.
That is to say, when the drinking period is reached, the lifespan of good vintages produced by first-class wineries can usually reach five to 60 years, and some can even be stored for more than a hundred years. "
At this time, Zhu Chuanren suddenly remembered a burst of applause, first one person, then two, three, and a group.
The strange noise here also made the Maris brothers and sisters on the stage look over in surprise.
"Sir, I didn't expect a Chinese to know so much about European wines. I admire you!"
A foreigner spoke to him in half-baked Chinese.
"Thank you~" Zhu Chuanren said heartily: I didn't expect that the knowledge points he mastered in order to pick up girls in his previous life would become a powerful tool for pretending in this era.
However, simply pretending to be a small B also made many guests forget to give gifts, which delayed some time.
At this time, Gou Sheng squeezed through the crowd and whispered in Zhu Chuanren's ear:
"Third Young Master, the buyer has been found and he wants to talk to you~"
Zhu Chuanren frowned:
"What identity is he talking to me about?"
"That's an old man. He won't hand over the necklace until he sees you."
Zhu Chuanren snorted coldly:
"You are quite courageous~"
After saying that, he stood up amidst applause, and Jian Yi quickly said:
"Any news?"
"Well, come with me~"
The alley behind the Licha Hotel was pitch dark. There are no street lights for you in the alleys these days.
"Third Young Master~"
Zhu Chuanren's brothers surrounded a group of people. The person in the middle had his hands in his sleeves and wiped his nose with his sleeves from time to time. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest.
"Third Young Master, he is Lao Daozi, who came from the northeast like us." Gou Sheng said in a low voice.
"Lao Daozi? I heard that you insist on seeing me?" Zhu Chuanren walked in from the separated crowd and came to less than one meter in front of Lao Daozi.
"Hey, Third Young Master, I didn't expect you to actually come. It's an honor~" Lao Daozi's Northeastern accent is very strong. When he smiles, the scar on his right cheek seems to come alive. No wonder he is called Lao Daozi. This scar It seems to be old at first glance.
"You ask me to come, do I dare to come? Who dares not to give you the face of Lao Daozi?" Zhu Chuanren said angrily~
"Haha, if the third young master gives me face, wouldn't I be even more honored~"
When Lao Daozi smiled, the brothers behind him also laughed, but Zhu Chuanren didn't say a word, and the two sides seemed to be in a world of ice and fire.
Because Zhu Chuanren didn't smile, Lao Daozi's smile seemed particularly embarrassing:
"It seems that the third young master doesn't like to laugh~"
"What's your identity? What's my identity? Wouldn't it be shameful for me to laugh with you?" Zhu Chuanren suddenly said this, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.
"Young Master Third, are you saying that you don't take rough people like us seriously?" Lao Daozi said in a nonchalant manner.
"You guessed it right, I really don't take you seriously. Being able to say so many words to you has given you a lot of face. Hand over the necklace quickly."
Jian Yi behind him instantly became nervous. The tense atmosphere between the two sides made her feel depressed, but she still stood strong by Zhu Chuanren's side, even though she was so nervous that her body was shaking.
"If the third young master says so, then I really can't give you this necklace~ I don't want to make steamed buns to save my reputation!" The old knifeman raised his hand, and a string of black pearls appeared in his hand.
Zhu Chuanren didn't even notice how he took it out. He didn't expect the old knife to be so good.
Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes:
"So, do you think you have the ability to compete with me?"
"It should be true. After all, this man is not living in vain. He has such a group of brothers!"
Zhu Chuanren sneered:
"Are you so confident that these brothers can listen to you?"
"We are all brothers who eat from the same pot. It's hard to say who listens to whom, but I am confident that they will not betray me~"
Zhu Chuanren decided to use realistic education to educate him about the cruelty of society:
"I have 1000 yuan here. If anyone beats me up now, this 1000 yuan is yours!"
wow~
Lao Daozi's gang was instantly in an uproar.
This bunch of little Buddhists may seem like a big deal, but none of them are rich, so they may be a little better than poor B, or about as poor as C.
But everyone who understands understands that C is not much larger than B. They are both quantities that can be grasped in one hand.
Zhu Chuanren ignored the livid old Daozi and continued to increase the pressure:
"If anyone kills him, I will give you 3000. If anyone accidentally lets him go down and be reincarnated, I will give you 5000!"
Zhu Chuanren looked at everyone with a smile and said:
"5000, think about it, how many things do you have to steal to safely save as much as 5000?"
Before he finished speaking, several strange expressions appeared in Zhu Chuanren's sight.
"This opportunity must never come back again. Once you pass this village, there will be no store like this. Count down to five, five, four, three, two."
Before he could count, Lao Daozi's originally confident and playful expression froze on his face.
Everyone only heard a muffled bang, and Lao Daozi fell down stiffly.
'Boom~'
I saw a young man standing behind Lao Daozi with a fierce look in his eyes. The wooden stick in his hand was still stained with blood.
"Ah!!!" Jian Yi screamed.
Zhu Chuanren laughed:
"Smart people, I like to work with smart people the most. Come on, give him money!"
Upon hearing that Zhu Chuanren was going to cash in on the spot, the brothers behind Lao Daozi all looked regretful, wishing they could turn back time, and they were the ones who had just attacked Lao Daozi.
That's 5000. It's definitely not a small amount. At least for small people like them, 5000 can do a lot of things. They can buy a pretty good house and get a wife.
No matter how bad it is, with these 5000, you don’t have to worry about not being able to afford food. How much food can you buy?
As a result, I was snatched away by a brother who had just been with Lao Daozi. I regret it.
But since you strike first and gain the upper hand, don't blame the big guy for criticizing you from the commanding heights of interests.
"Xiao Wu, how brave are you to kill Brother Dao?"
"Xiaowu, you're finished, just wait to be expelled from the Kongmen!"
However, more people are still afraid of Zhu Chuanren. A man, without firing a shot or using a knife, killed a gangster with just a few words and a wad of money.
Such people are simply terrible!
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Zhu Chuanren, and they felt as fearful as a tiger.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked more mature came forward to inspect Lao Daozi's body, stretched out two fingers and touched Lao Daozi's neck, and then looked at Zhu Chuanren with a sinister expression:
"Third Young Master, aren't you too cruel?"
"How do you say that?"
"Lao Daozi originally wanted to make friends with you, but he just wanted to make a joke. However, you are so cruel. Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Zhu Chuanren sneered:
"First of all, don't put your status too high, you don't deserve it!
Secondly, Lao Daozi took my things and refused to give them back after my brother asked him for them. So even if I killed him with my own hands, you empty-door old men would not scold me for breaking the rules;
Finally, which onion are you? "
It was reasonable and well-founded in the front, but it became arrogant in the back.
"Third Young Master, if you don't mind, call me Lao Pi. He is indeed not a big figure, but he entered Buddhism at the age of 7 and has been in Buddhism for more than 40 years now. He still has some status in Buddhism."
Zhu Chuanren nodded:
"It sounds like he is a person, but after all, he is a low-level person who cannot stand on the stage. Everyone has seen the death of Lao Daozi. It has nothing to do with me. I just paid out the money."
Lao Pi's face was extremely ugly:
"Third Young Master, I don't know if you look down on our Buddhist sect, or you look down on the entire Eight Great Jianghus!"
"You old boy is quite sinister, you want to attract hatred, right?"
Zhu Chuanren only goes crazy with people whose status is lower than his own, and will not go crazy casually. What Lao Pi just said is a hidden murderous intention. If word spreads, Zhu Chuanren might be targeted by people from the Eight Gates.
Although he is not afraid of these people in the world, if these people are determined to target him, they will definitely cause him a lot of trouble.
So Zhu Chuanren didn't dare to take the bait. These Jianghu people were all paranoid, and others didn't know that he knew it very well.In his previous life, he read a lot of unofficial histories during the Republic of China, including introductions to Jianghu sects.
As the saying goes, "three religions and nine streams" and "eight great rivers and lakes" are derived from the eight gates of the rivers and lakes. There are many records of capable people and strangers in unofficial histories and even official histories of various dynasties. Most of these capable people and strangers are "eight great rivers and lakes". Doorman.
The "eight sects" can be outside the mountains or in temples. Their identities are usually difficult to know. The dragon has its head but not its tail. Each sect still has disciples to pass on to this day.
Many people know the "Eight Ming Sects" of Jianghu business: the golden leather color hangs the level and the group adjusts the willow.
Jin refers to fortune telling and other divination businesses, Pi refers to those who sell counterfeit medicines, also known as "tricksters", Cai refers to jugglers, and Guo refers to businesses related to martial arts, such as martial arts masters, bodyguards, and those who sell powerful pills. , busker, etc.
Ping refers to storytelling, Tuan refers to cross talk, and cross talk used to be called "Tuanchun". Tiao refers to those wild doctors who see flowers and willow diseases and sell cigarettes, and Liu refers to folk art and opera.
Everything else is easy to understand, except this hanging line. As the name suggests, the hanging line has four doors: branching, pulling, poking, and clicking.
Being a bodyguard for rich people and a teacher who looks after homes and homes is called "fulcrum";
Traveling around the world by escorting escorts is called "pulling the point" or "walking the line";
Opening a martial arts gym to accept disciples and receiving their filial piety is called poke point, or poke line;
Dianxing is an entertainer who travels around the world and is divided into "Qing Gua Zi" and "Tiao Jiang Han". Qing Gua Zi is a pure performer, while Tiao Jiang Han is a performer who also sells wild medicine, Dali pills and tiger bone wine. , dog skin ointment and the like.
Among the gangs, those who are highly skilled in martial arts and have real abilities are called "Jiandian", while those who have no ability and only rely on bragging are called "Xingdian", also called "Li Xingdian".
In addition to the eight bright gates, there are eight dark gates, namely bee, hemp, swallow, sparrow, flower, orchid, kudzu, and rong.
The Dark Eight Gates are opposite to the Bright Eight Gates. This is because although there are inevitably elements of fraud and deception in the Bright Eight Gates, generally speaking, it is a legal behavior now. The government does not interfere and can operate openly.
At the same time, Mingbamen is a relatively upright behavior in the world. If practitioners are more chivalrous, they can win more respect in the world;
In contrast, the Anbamen were illegal at the time, their identities could not be disclosed, and the government would strictly investigate and investigate if they found out.
The actions of the Dark Eight Gates are more or less contrary to the morals of the Jianghu to a certain extent, and the heroes of the Jianghu are disdainful to associate with them.
Of course, this is only in general. There are also chivalrous people and warm-hearted good people in the Eight Dark Sects. Such people can also be admired by everyone and become famous.
The bees in the Dark Eight Gates refer to the kind of organized multi-person scammer group. Such a group will have an old man, who is equivalent to the CEO, and the entire team is systematically organized around this "old man".
This kind of scammer group usually defrauds wealthy people and even high-ranking officials. The amount of defrauding is very large. One vote can last for several years.
Ma men refer to single-handed con men, who often dress up as monks, Taoist priests, or reclusive masters, and single-handedly defraud wealthy people out of their money.
Yanmen is relatively easy to guess. It refers to the behavior of women or the use of women to cheat. Most of the cheaters are young and beautiful women. Some are alone, some have helpers, some pretend to be sisters, and some pretend to be sisters. There are many cases where mothers and daughters cheat, and they are very hated by people.
However, there is a saying that "it is adultery but not cheating" for such behavior. Once the deceived person has a relationship with the woman who cheated, the whole behavior is no longer cheating and the government can investigate it. However, if the victim asks for help from friends in the world, This cannot be managed.
If you don't care, you will break the rules. This is called "turning your elbows outward."
Quemen refers to a professional criminal gang, often an entire member of a family, who has been committing fraud in a certain area or field for a long time.
The scale of fraud varies, but most of them are big liars.
The swindlers of this sect are more fierce. The swindlers of the three sects of Feng, Ma, and Yan are strictly prohibited from killing people. However, the swindlers of this sect often seek money and murder, and kill people to silence them.
Therefore, Quemen is also called "Quemen", which means "the gate of lacking virtue".
The four schools of Hualan and Ge Rong are said to come from the same school, so they all have the prefix "草".
These four sects are the darkest and most dangerous businesses in the world. To put it bluntly, they are messing with society.
Of course, they are a society that is more disciplined, loyal, and prefers to stick together, and there are many loyal people among them.
People who are engaged in gold-skin and color-painting trades, although they are in the world, are still doing legal business, and they rarely interact with people from the four families of Hualan and Ge Rong.
Those who have deep connections with people from these four sects are mostly heroes with strong martial arts skills, rich experience, and unique skills.
Generally speaking, when a hero traveling around encounters an uninvited guest with a strange expression or encounters a robber in a remote place, he must first say a mantra: "A flower hangs in the sky in the northwest, and the green forests in the world are one family."
The meaning of this sentence has two levels. One is to show one's identity in the world and ask the other party to be noble;
The second is to hint to the other party that he is also a veteran and is not easy to mess with.
According to the rules, if you are a member of the Hualan and Ge Rong sects, you can make money after hearing this sentence, but you cannot kill.
Moreover, one should "seek money with courtesy rather than force", and should not use force. They can only ask for courtesy by saying things like "As a bachelor, his life is short, and his friends will help him to feed himself."
When people outside the four gates hear this sentence, they will know that the other party should not be underestimated and retreat when faced with difficulties.
As for those who don't understand this sentence, they are mostly the kind of petty thieves who block the road and beat them up, not the heroes of the world.
The Huamen posterity should be of most interest to future generations. It refers to professional gamblers who make money. It is said that in order to make a living by gambling, one must have a master and a teacher who can "make fish", which is what the saying goes.
But Huamen is far from having the cool skills and even status in the movies like those of later generations. In fact, in this era, these professional gamblers often work part-time as robbers and often sell cigarettes. Most of them have martial arts skills and are very fierce. .
Lanmen refers to the green forest thieves, and thieves are slightly different from bandits.
A group of poor people gathering together in the mountains and forests are bandits; thieves in the forest must have a master, a teacher, martial arts skills, and experience and knowledge in the world.
In the words of later generations, the degree of "professionalization" is higher than that of bandits, which is called "Lan Family Men".
Rongmen refers to thieves, who call themselves "Rongxing" or "from the old Rong family".
The person who can claim to be a member of the Rong family cannot be a petty thief, but a big thief who works alone, also known as "Gaomai".
Ge: Outside the Hua, Lan, and Rong sects, those who rely on martial arts to make an illegal living are collectively called "Ge", and are also called "those who eat Ge's thoughts."
Some charlatan killers, thugs, lone bandits who rob homes, and even general pickers can all be classified as Ge's family.
Leaving aside the other things, let’s just say that the Rongmen and the Kongmen were originally from the same family, but some of them became rich in petty theft and became big thieves. Naturally, they looked down on their former little brothers.
Moreover, Buddhist views are more likely to be despised by the people, so they call themselves Rongmen, which seems to have a higher style and deeper style, but in fact they are thieves.
The group of people in front of me are the lowest level in the thief industry!
"Third Young Master, I have no intention of being an enemy of you, but the old knife is dead, and I have to give an explanation to the elderly in my family."
"That's your business, I have nothing to do~"
With that said, he signaled to Gou Sheng, who generously stepped forward and took out the black pearl necklace from Lao Daozi's hand.
After looking at the miserable image of Lao Daozi, who was still dead in silence, Gou Sheng clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"It's a pity, I don't know the person~"
Gou Sheng's words shocked all the people in Kongmen, but they did not dare to refute, allowing Gou Sheng to return to Zhu Chuanren without any care~
"Third Young Master~"
"To Miss Jane~"
Jian Yi was in shock. It was the first time in her life that she saw a living person dying in front of her. Her little face was so scared that it was whiter than the moonlight.
"Mr. Zhu, this"
"Take it and return it to its original owner~"
Then he ordered Gou Sheng:
"Send Miss Jane back to the hotel~"
"Yes~"
Gou Sheng knew that Zhu Chuanren was going to attack the Kongmen, and the next scene was not suitable for children.
"Third Young Master, you must give me an explanation for this matter today!"
Lao Pi is also very particular. He asked Zhu Chuanren to send the girl around him away before he said harsh words~
"What if I can't give it?"
"Then, Third Young Master, you have to leave a few brothers behind today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Pi put two fingers into his mouth, and when he exerted force, an eagle's cry exploded in the night sky.
A flash of light flashed in Zhu Chuanren's eyes, and it seemed that the old knife man had ambushed his backhand.
A few seconds later, the ground trembled, and a faint rumble sounded:
"Master Pi, the brothers are here, what should I say?"
When Zhu Chuanren turned around, he saw that he and his brothers were dominated by a group of ragged thieves. This group of thieves usually looked inconspicuous, but now they all had ruthless expressions on their faces, as if they were going to eat Zhu Chuanren alive.
"Haha, that's interesting~" Zhu Chuanren was not afraid. A group of thieves were vulnerable to bullets.
As soon as he raised his hand, the brothers opened their clothes and revealed their jet-black pistols, which looked jet-black and shiny in the moonlight.
"Sigh~"
All the people in Kongmen took a breath of cold air. I am competing with you in terms of numbers, but you are playing with bullets with me, right?Do you want to be so cruel?
Zhu Chuanren also took out a gun from his waist, raised it with one hand, and pointed the gun directly between Lao Pi's eyebrows.
"Can you repeat what you just said?"
Big beads of sweat flowed down Lao Pi's cheeks, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes. He still underestimated the ruthlessness of the third young master. He really didn't expect that all the brothers under the third young master Zhu were equipped with guns.
If Zhu Chuanren knew his thoughts, he would be happy to explain to him:
"Either you are lucky. The brothers just got pistols and used them on him for the first time. He should feel honored."
"Third Young Master, we may have some misunderstandings."
"Misunderstanding? Why don't I think~"
"It's really a misunderstanding. I called the brothers to come, but they were actually collecting the bodies for Lao Daozi."
Ouch~ This reason was so perfect that Zhu Chuanren couldn't even say no.
"Really? I thought you were going to gang up on me~"
"No, how dare you?" Lao Pi forced out a sneer.
"Haha, I think you are very brave~" Zhu Chuanren's arms were tired, so he simply put them down.
As soon as he fired his gun, his brothers followed suit, and their movements were uniform, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
But it didn't, it was just the accumulated result of so many years of bans and orders.
"Then can we go?" Zhu Chuanren asked in an angry voice, but it sounded teasing to Lao Pi's ears.
"Of course, of course, Third Young Master please!"
This time, Lao Pi didn't need to say anything. The people in the empty gate automatically parted ways and looked at Zhu Chuanren with dissatisfied expressions, but most of them were still very scared. It could be seen that they were a little afraid of this rich boy.
It’s too cruel. Who can bring so many guns with them when they go out? One is enough to show off their power. Having so many guns is enough for a small city sniper battle!
Zhu Chuanren didn't care what they thought, he got so many pistols just to deal with similar situations at any time.
There may be no person in the world who is more afraid of death than Zhu Chuanren. In order to save his life, he will resort to any seemingly extreme behavior.
Back at the main entrance of Licha Hotel, Gou Sheng just came out:
"Third Young Master~"
"Oh, where's Miss Jane?"
"She is giving gifts to Miss Helen inside. She should have finished giving them away by now~"
"Well, I understand. Then I won't go in. It's not interesting."
"Third Young Master, do you want to give Kongmen a warning?"
"Send a message to Huang Mapi and ask him to tell the people in Kongmen that I will wait for an explanation from them!"
Didn't Lao Pi want him to give an explanation?Then let’s see who gives an explanation to whom!
"Yes! Third Young Master, shall we go home?"
"Leave a brother behind and tell Miss Jane to help me deliver the birthday gift to Miss Helen."
"Yes!"
Zhu Chuanren patted his butt and did not take away a single cloud.
That night at Jian's house, Jian Yi happily told her parents what happened tonight. She was happy, but her parents looked sad.
"My good girl, why are you getting together with Zhu Chuanren?" Mother Jian said half dotingly and half helplessly.
"What's wrong? Mom, I think he is very good. If it hadn't been for him tonight, our Jian family would have been embarrassed, and I would have become a sinner of the Jian family!"
"In my eyes, it's just a gift. If you lose it, you'll lose it. The worst we can do is give him something more valuable later. But if you get close to this Zhu Chuanren, I have to worry about you."
Jian Yi pouted unhappily:
"Looking at what you said, it sounds like Zhu Chuanren is some kind of savage beast."
"He is not a scourge, but he is more terrifying than a scourge. Xiaoyi, you have to listen to your mother on this matter and stay away from that Zhu Chuanren!"
Father Jian also spoke.
Jian Yi doesn’t understand:
"Dad, who is that Zhu Chuanren? Why are you so afraid of him?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of him. That kid is just a whirlpool of trouble. If you get involved with him, you won't get any good results."
"Isn't that true? I think he is very good. He really helped me a lot tonight!"
"You don't understand, okay, go upstairs and rest quickly, remember to be obedient!"
Jian's father emphasized his tone, and Jian Yi did not dare to disobey. She pouted, made a dissatisfied sound, and went upstairs angrily.
After she went up, Jian's father said helplessly:
"This girl is spoiled by the two of us~"
"No, but Zhu Chuanren, why don't you send someone to say thank you? After all, he helped our daughter. If he doesn't show any expression at all, if word gets out, people will scold our Jian family for not knowing the rules."
Father Jian nodded:
"If you want it, arrange for someone to give you some specialties from Guangdong Province. It's just a matter of money, and I won't be short of it."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Hey~ I really don't know if it's a good or bad thing for Jian Yi to know Zhu Chuanren~"
"Just have less contact from now on, no need to touch too much now~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper came over and whispered a few words in Father Jian's ear.
"Is there such a thing?"
"The news just came back~"
"sure?"
“It shouldn’t be wrong, it’s already spread in the market~”
Father Jian looked at his wife and smiled bitterly:
"I'm really afraid of what will come. I just said he was a den of trouble. Isn't this the time when trouble is coming?"
"what happened?"
"In order to help Jian Yi get the necklace back, Zhu Chuanren confronted the Kongmen people and even used a gun."
Mother Jian immediately became worried:
"What should we do~"
Father Jian muttered:
"It seems that it is necessary for me to meet and chat with that Young Master Zhu San~"
"is this necessary?"
"Of course, if we don't explain the matter clearly, outsiders will tie our Jian family and Zhu family together~"
"Then thank you?"
"Prepare the thank-you gifts as soon as you need them, one size at a time. When they are ready, I will send them to you personally."
"Okay~"
Then Jian's father told the housekeeper:
"Send a greeting note to Zhu Gongguan~"
"Yes, sir~"
Zhu Chuanren, who had returned home at this time, was chatting with Zhu Kaishan, and they happened to talk about tonight's events.
"Empty door?"
"Well, they are just a bunch of thieves. They really treat themselves like a dish when they come up with a name~"
"These people are like toads on their feet. They don't bite but respond to others. You have to be careful!"
"I know it. I've already sent someone to warn me. If you're interested, you should give me an explanation. Otherwise, I don't mind letting them start all over again!"
Zhu Kaishan sighed:
"This world is too chaotic. There are many friends and many paths. Not all Buddhists are villains."
"Dad, I know, don't worry."
"Okay, I won't mess with it. You can rest early."
After sending Zhu Kaishan out of the study, Lao Tan happened to come over, and Zhu Chuanren waved to him:
"How is the man named Luo doing?"
"I was just about to talk about this. Third Young Master, Luo is preparing goods. It looks like he really wants to transport things to Xiangjiang."
"Impossible. Have you found the goods? What is it?"
"We have everything, food, drink, and supplies!"
"Find a way to open the box and check. There must be contraband inside!" Zhu Chuanren was very sure.
"Yes, I will find a way to arrange for brothers to go in,"
"Well, how's it going with Lao He?"
"It's the same, there's no change. Every day it's either a dog racing track or a horse racing track, or the Little Oriole troupe is called in to sing, and it lasts all night."
Zhu Chuanren laughed and scolded:
"This Taisheng He really knows how to enjoy happiness. I even envy him!"
(End of this chapter)
Back downstairs, the place where Zhu Chuanren was sitting had been taken away, so he had to find a new table.
Jian Yi had nowhere to go, so she sat next to Zhu Chuanren, still a little nervous, wondering if the thief who took the gift could find it back.
"Don't you have something to drink?" Zhu Chuanren asked.
"I won't drink anymore~"
"Don't think so much. My people will look for it carefully, but whether they can find it or not depends on luck."
"Thank you, really, you are a good person~"
Zhu Chuanren was speechless. There are still people who think they are good people these days?
Okay, I can only say that some people are too naive~
At this time, on the stage, Helen was wearing an aristocratic purple dress, and she was as dazzling under the light as a princess.
Guests came on stage one after another to give gifts. In the corner of the stage, there was already a mountain of gifts, large and small.
As more and more people came up to give gifts, Jian Yi became more and more nervous.
At this time, Gou Sheng'er walked along the wall of the banquet hall alone and said in Zhu Chuanren's ear:
"Third Young Master, the person has been found~"
"Oh~ Where are the things? He sold them, and I'm asking someone to find a home for them~"
"Sold? So fast?"
Gou Sheng smiled bitterly and said:
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either, but my next family is an old gangster on the road, so it's easy to find him."
"Quick speed~"
"Understand~"
The dog was left, Jian Yi looked at Zhu Chuanren expectantly:
"How about it?"
"It's not great. I found the person, but the things have been sold. My people are looking for a home!"
"You took action so soon?" Jian Yi was shocked.
"Who says it's not? Don't worry, just wait a little longer. There are so many guests, so we have to wait for another hour. It's too late."
Jian Yi was somewhat relieved, and Zhu Chuanren's words gave her some comfort.
"Thank you, I don't know what I would do without you~"
"Who made you look beautiful~"
Jian Yi's face turned red:
"What, what does this have to do with whether you are beautiful or not~"
"Of course it does matter. If it's for a man or someone who's not pretty, I won't take any notice of him~"
"Wow, why are you so straightforward?"
"This is what I call being honest!"
"You are so shameless!"
"You actually call your savior that. It breaks my heart."
Jian Yi had never seen such a shameless behavior before, and she was made blushing~
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore~"
Zhu Chuanren waved the waiter over, took two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Jian Yi.
"do you drink?"
"You can have a drink~"
"Then let's have a drink. Today's wine is pretty good~"
"I don't understand, what kind of wine is this?"
"Didn't you attend a cocktail party when you were studying abroad?"
"No, they are very messy and I never participate."
Zhu Chuanren was impressed by this girl, but she was not assimilated by those white girls.
“Tonight’s red wine is all from Chateau Margaux.”
"Margaux? I heard my father talk about Lafite~"
“Haha, actually they all belong to that area. The history of Chateau Margaux can be traced back to the 12th century AD. At that time, the chateau was called La Motte Margaux and the vineyard did not yet exist.
The ancient name of the estate is actually no coincidence, because on the flat land of the Medoc, any La Motte can be recognized at a glance, and the best wines are produced on well-drained slopes.
By the way, La Motte means little slope in French.
From 1152 to 1453, the Aquitaine region of France was controlled by the British. As a result, Bordeaux wine benefited from the new market in Britain and became the table wine of the British king in the 12th century.
In the late 17th century, Chateau Margaux occupied an area of 265 hectares, a size that has never changed since then, one-third of which is used for grape cultivation, as it still is today.
The British and Dutch drank Bordeaux wine called 'claret', which was light in color and not suitable for long storage.
Chateau Margaux then jumped to the top of the list of wine-making arts, and Bordeaux winery rankings began to take shape.
Thus Chateau Margaux was born. "
As Zhu Chuanren narrated, Jian Yi's little mouth opened wider and wider. She was already shocked by Zhu Chuanren's profound knowledge.
Not only her, but the surrounding guests also subconsciously gathered around after hearing Zhu Chuanren's words.
“With the passage of time, Chateau Margaux changed owners several times. In the early 18th century, the winery director Verron was the first winery director to start making red grapes and white grapes separately.
He does not advocate picking grapes in Foxiao because the grapes are covered with dew. If the grapes are picked in the morning, the color of the wine will be diluted and lighter due to excessive moisture due to dew.
The modern concept of winemaking began to sprout, and gradually pushed the wines of Chateau Margaux into the palace of wine excellence.
By that time, Berron had understood the importance of soil and he knew which plots were best.
The concept of terroir began to come to the fore.
In 1705, the London Gazette announced the first auction of fine Bordeaux wine: 230 barrels of Margaux, the 1771 vintage being the first red Bordeaux to appear in the Christie's catalog.
The reputation of British Premier Bordeaux wines spread far across the Atlantic, and Thomas Jefferson, the U.S. Ambassador to France, placed Château Margaux at the top of his list of the best wines in Bordeaux.
He ordered a 1784 Margaux wine and wrote that there could not be a better Bordeaux wine.
During the French Revolution, Manor Margaux was auctioned in 1801 due to the impact of the times.
Bertrand Dua, Marquis of La Colonia, acquired the estate and rebuilt the winery, which I personally think will still be stunning into the next century.
Later, during the Napoleon III period, Chateau Margaux was rated as one of the first growths in 1855 with the only perfect score.
The Second World's Fair was held in Paris in 1855, and Napoleon III took the opportunity to praise French products, including the famous Medoc wine.
He hoped to rank the wines before displaying them, so he held a blind wine tasting in Paris, which resulted in the famous official rating of 1855, which divided more than sixty Medoc wineries and one Grave winery into five levels according to quality. .
Four wineries were classified as first growth wineries, with only Margaux receiving a perfect score of 20/20.
The Second Empire in France was undoubtedly the golden age of Bordeaux wine, not only because of the railway connection between Bordeaux and Paris, but also because of the free trade agreements inspired by the emperor's liberal ideas that promoted trade.
There is no doubt that Napoleon III made a great contribution to the development of Bordeaux wine. "
At this time, a guest suddenly said:
"Sir, according to you, the red wine of Chateau Margaux should be the best red wine in France, right?"
Zhu Chuanren shook his head:
"You can't say that. In the words of our Chinese people, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The same goes for red wine. Everyone has his own preference for radish and green vegetables.
Moreover, the development of Chateau Margaux has not been smooth sailing. The vineyards have been attacked by fungi, powdery mildew and downy mildew one after another, causing heavy losses to the winery.
However, with the discovery of new treatment methods and grape replanting, Chateau Margaux gradually resumed production. The replanted grape plants were still young due to their short age.
However, the quality of the grapes produced was not satisfactory, so the winery sold it as a second wine, named Red Pavilion. "
The person who raised the question couldn't help but praise:
"Sir, you know so much!"
"Haha, the more you drink, the more you will understand."
“Thank you, Chateau Margao Red is relatively smooth and has a strong fragrance. Its biggest feature is the perfect combination of two extreme characteristics: smooth and rich fruity flavor and a long and powerful aftertaste.
Therefore, it is known as the iron fist in velvet gloves, that is to say, it is soft on the surface but very tough in reality.
If you compare Magao with Latu, then Latu is majestic and surging, while Magao is gentle and approachable.
Therefore, many people describe Latour as a masculine wine for men, and Margot as a feminine wine.
But I personally think that Magao is particularly easy to accept because of its approachable characteristics, and because it is relatively smooth, it is very suitable for people who have just started drinking.
Chateau Margaux's red wine is a full-bodied dry red wine with aromas of ripe black berries, black currants and grassy oak.
The tannins are elegant and combined with the rich taste of black truffle, chocolate and vanilla, and the black berry fruit flavor makes the finish longer.
The best food pairings are braised abalone, braised sea cucumber, tender beef tenderloin, and goat cheese.
What we are drinking now is the 1900 Chateau Margaux. This vintage of Margaux is a rare vintage and is expensive.
I think 1900 is the best vintage among Bordeaux red wines, almost the best vintage among Chateau Margaux, and has great collection value.
Some critics even called it the wine of the century.
The 1900 Margaux is relatively difficult to find. Generally, Bordeaux wine has reached its peak after aging for 30 to [-] years.
That is to say, when the drinking period is reached, the lifespan of good vintages produced by first-class wineries can usually reach five to 60 years, and some can even be stored for more than a hundred years. "
At this time, Zhu Chuanren suddenly remembered a burst of applause, first one person, then two, three, and a group.
The strange noise here also made the Maris brothers and sisters on the stage look over in surprise.
"Sir, I didn't expect a Chinese to know so much about European wines. I admire you!"
A foreigner spoke to him in half-baked Chinese.
"Thank you~" Zhu Chuanren said heartily: I didn't expect that the knowledge points he mastered in order to pick up girls in his previous life would become a powerful tool for pretending in this era.
However, simply pretending to be a small B also made many guests forget to give gifts, which delayed some time.
At this time, Gou Sheng squeezed through the crowd and whispered in Zhu Chuanren's ear:
"Third Young Master, the buyer has been found and he wants to talk to you~"
Zhu Chuanren frowned:
"What identity is he talking to me about?"
"That's an old man. He won't hand over the necklace until he sees you."
Zhu Chuanren snorted coldly:
"You are quite courageous~"
After saying that, he stood up amidst applause, and Jian Yi quickly said:
"Any news?"
"Well, come with me~"
The alley behind the Licha Hotel was pitch dark. There are no street lights for you in the alleys these days.
"Third Young Master~"
Zhu Chuanren's brothers surrounded a group of people. The person in the middle had his hands in his sleeves and wiped his nose with his sleeves from time to time. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest.
"Third Young Master, he is Lao Daozi, who came from the northeast like us." Gou Sheng said in a low voice.
"Lao Daozi? I heard that you insist on seeing me?" Zhu Chuanren walked in from the separated crowd and came to less than one meter in front of Lao Daozi.
"Hey, Third Young Master, I didn't expect you to actually come. It's an honor~" Lao Daozi's Northeastern accent is very strong. When he smiles, the scar on his right cheek seems to come alive. No wonder he is called Lao Daozi. This scar It seems to be old at first glance.
"You ask me to come, do I dare to come? Who dares not to give you the face of Lao Daozi?" Zhu Chuanren said angrily~
"Haha, if the third young master gives me face, wouldn't I be even more honored~"
When Lao Daozi smiled, the brothers behind him also laughed, but Zhu Chuanren didn't say a word, and the two sides seemed to be in a world of ice and fire.
Because Zhu Chuanren didn't smile, Lao Daozi's smile seemed particularly embarrassing:
"It seems that the third young master doesn't like to laugh~"
"What's your identity? What's my identity? Wouldn't it be shameful for me to laugh with you?" Zhu Chuanren suddenly said this, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.
"Young Master Third, are you saying that you don't take rough people like us seriously?" Lao Daozi said in a nonchalant manner.
"You guessed it right, I really don't take you seriously. Being able to say so many words to you has given you a lot of face. Hand over the necklace quickly."
Jian Yi behind him instantly became nervous. The tense atmosphere between the two sides made her feel depressed, but she still stood strong by Zhu Chuanren's side, even though she was so nervous that her body was shaking.
"If the third young master says so, then I really can't give you this necklace~ I don't want to make steamed buns to save my reputation!" The old knifeman raised his hand, and a string of black pearls appeared in his hand.
Zhu Chuanren didn't even notice how he took it out. He didn't expect the old knife to be so good.
Zhu Chuanren narrowed his eyes:
"So, do you think you have the ability to compete with me?"
"It should be true. After all, this man is not living in vain. He has such a group of brothers!"
Zhu Chuanren sneered:
"Are you so confident that these brothers can listen to you?"
"We are all brothers who eat from the same pot. It's hard to say who listens to whom, but I am confident that they will not betray me~"
Zhu Chuanren decided to use realistic education to educate him about the cruelty of society:
"I have 1000 yuan here. If anyone beats me up now, this 1000 yuan is yours!"
wow~
Lao Daozi's gang was instantly in an uproar.
This bunch of little Buddhists may seem like a big deal, but none of them are rich, so they may be a little better than poor B, or about as poor as C.
But everyone who understands understands that C is not much larger than B. They are both quantities that can be grasped in one hand.
Zhu Chuanren ignored the livid old Daozi and continued to increase the pressure:
"If anyone kills him, I will give you 3000. If anyone accidentally lets him go down and be reincarnated, I will give you 5000!"
Zhu Chuanren looked at everyone with a smile and said:
"5000, think about it, how many things do you have to steal to safely save as much as 5000?"
Before he finished speaking, several strange expressions appeared in Zhu Chuanren's sight.
"This opportunity must never come back again. Once you pass this village, there will be no store like this. Count down to five, five, four, three, two."
Before he could count, Lao Daozi's originally confident and playful expression froze on his face.
Everyone only heard a muffled bang, and Lao Daozi fell down stiffly.
'Boom~'
I saw a young man standing behind Lao Daozi with a fierce look in his eyes. The wooden stick in his hand was still stained with blood.
"Ah!!!" Jian Yi screamed.
Zhu Chuanren laughed:
"Smart people, I like to work with smart people the most. Come on, give him money!"
Upon hearing that Zhu Chuanren was going to cash in on the spot, the brothers behind Lao Daozi all looked regretful, wishing they could turn back time, and they were the ones who had just attacked Lao Daozi.
That's 5000. It's definitely not a small amount. At least for small people like them, 5000 can do a lot of things. They can buy a pretty good house and get a wife.
No matter how bad it is, with these 5000, you don’t have to worry about not being able to afford food. How much food can you buy?
As a result, I was snatched away by a brother who had just been with Lao Daozi. I regret it.
But since you strike first and gain the upper hand, don't blame the big guy for criticizing you from the commanding heights of interests.
"Xiao Wu, how brave are you to kill Brother Dao?"
"Xiaowu, you're finished, just wait to be expelled from the Kongmen!"
However, more people are still afraid of Zhu Chuanren. A man, without firing a shot or using a knife, killed a gangster with just a few words and a wad of money.
Such people are simply terrible!
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Zhu Chuanren, and they felt as fearful as a tiger.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked more mature came forward to inspect Lao Daozi's body, stretched out two fingers and touched Lao Daozi's neck, and then looked at Zhu Chuanren with a sinister expression:
"Third Young Master, aren't you too cruel?"
"How do you say that?"
"Lao Daozi originally wanted to make friends with you, but he just wanted to make a joke. However, you are so cruel. Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Zhu Chuanren sneered:
"First of all, don't put your status too high, you don't deserve it!
Secondly, Lao Daozi took my things and refused to give them back after my brother asked him for them. So even if I killed him with my own hands, you empty-door old men would not scold me for breaking the rules;
Finally, which onion are you? "
It was reasonable and well-founded in the front, but it became arrogant in the back.
"Third Young Master, if you don't mind, call me Lao Pi. He is indeed not a big figure, but he entered Buddhism at the age of 7 and has been in Buddhism for more than 40 years now. He still has some status in Buddhism."
Zhu Chuanren nodded:
"It sounds like he is a person, but after all, he is a low-level person who cannot stand on the stage. Everyone has seen the death of Lao Daozi. It has nothing to do with me. I just paid out the money."
Lao Pi's face was extremely ugly:
"Third Young Master, I don't know if you look down on our Buddhist sect, or you look down on the entire Eight Great Jianghus!"
"You old boy is quite sinister, you want to attract hatred, right?"
Zhu Chuanren only goes crazy with people whose status is lower than his own, and will not go crazy casually. What Lao Pi just said is a hidden murderous intention. If word spreads, Zhu Chuanren might be targeted by people from the Eight Gates.
Although he is not afraid of these people in the world, if these people are determined to target him, they will definitely cause him a lot of trouble.
So Zhu Chuanren didn't dare to take the bait. These Jianghu people were all paranoid, and others didn't know that he knew it very well.In his previous life, he read a lot of unofficial histories during the Republic of China, including introductions to Jianghu sects.
As the saying goes, "three religions and nine streams" and "eight great rivers and lakes" are derived from the eight gates of the rivers and lakes. There are many records of capable people and strangers in unofficial histories and even official histories of various dynasties. Most of these capable people and strangers are "eight great rivers and lakes". Doorman.
The "eight sects" can be outside the mountains or in temples. Their identities are usually difficult to know. The dragon has its head but not its tail. Each sect still has disciples to pass on to this day.
Many people know the "Eight Ming Sects" of Jianghu business: the golden leather color hangs the level and the group adjusts the willow.
Jin refers to fortune telling and other divination businesses, Pi refers to those who sell counterfeit medicines, also known as "tricksters", Cai refers to jugglers, and Guo refers to businesses related to martial arts, such as martial arts masters, bodyguards, and those who sell powerful pills. , busker, etc.
Ping refers to storytelling, Tuan refers to cross talk, and cross talk used to be called "Tuanchun". Tiao refers to those wild doctors who see flowers and willow diseases and sell cigarettes, and Liu refers to folk art and opera.
Everything else is easy to understand, except this hanging line. As the name suggests, the hanging line has four doors: branching, pulling, poking, and clicking.
Being a bodyguard for rich people and a teacher who looks after homes and homes is called "fulcrum";
Traveling around the world by escorting escorts is called "pulling the point" or "walking the line";
Opening a martial arts gym to accept disciples and receiving their filial piety is called poke point, or poke line;
Dianxing is an entertainer who travels around the world and is divided into "Qing Gua Zi" and "Tiao Jiang Han". Qing Gua Zi is a pure performer, while Tiao Jiang Han is a performer who also sells wild medicine, Dali pills and tiger bone wine. , dog skin ointment and the like.
Among the gangs, those who are highly skilled in martial arts and have real abilities are called "Jiandian", while those who have no ability and only rely on bragging are called "Xingdian", also called "Li Xingdian".
In addition to the eight bright gates, there are eight dark gates, namely bee, hemp, swallow, sparrow, flower, orchid, kudzu, and rong.
The Dark Eight Gates are opposite to the Bright Eight Gates. This is because although there are inevitably elements of fraud and deception in the Bright Eight Gates, generally speaking, it is a legal behavior now. The government does not interfere and can operate openly.
At the same time, Mingbamen is a relatively upright behavior in the world. If practitioners are more chivalrous, they can win more respect in the world;
In contrast, the Anbamen were illegal at the time, their identities could not be disclosed, and the government would strictly investigate and investigate if they found out.
The actions of the Dark Eight Gates are more or less contrary to the morals of the Jianghu to a certain extent, and the heroes of the Jianghu are disdainful to associate with them.
Of course, this is only in general. There are also chivalrous people and warm-hearted good people in the Eight Dark Sects. Such people can also be admired by everyone and become famous.
The bees in the Dark Eight Gates refer to the kind of organized multi-person scammer group. Such a group will have an old man, who is equivalent to the CEO, and the entire team is systematically organized around this "old man".
This kind of scammer group usually defrauds wealthy people and even high-ranking officials. The amount of defrauding is very large. One vote can last for several years.
Ma men refer to single-handed con men, who often dress up as monks, Taoist priests, or reclusive masters, and single-handedly defraud wealthy people out of their money.
Yanmen is relatively easy to guess. It refers to the behavior of women or the use of women to cheat. Most of the cheaters are young and beautiful women. Some are alone, some have helpers, some pretend to be sisters, and some pretend to be sisters. There are many cases where mothers and daughters cheat, and they are very hated by people.
However, there is a saying that "it is adultery but not cheating" for such behavior. Once the deceived person has a relationship with the woman who cheated, the whole behavior is no longer cheating and the government can investigate it. However, if the victim asks for help from friends in the world, This cannot be managed.
If you don't care, you will break the rules. This is called "turning your elbows outward."
Quemen refers to a professional criminal gang, often an entire member of a family, who has been committing fraud in a certain area or field for a long time.
The scale of fraud varies, but most of them are big liars.
The swindlers of this sect are more fierce. The swindlers of the three sects of Feng, Ma, and Yan are strictly prohibited from killing people. However, the swindlers of this sect often seek money and murder, and kill people to silence them.
Therefore, Quemen is also called "Quemen", which means "the gate of lacking virtue".
The four schools of Hualan and Ge Rong are said to come from the same school, so they all have the prefix "草".
These four sects are the darkest and most dangerous businesses in the world. To put it bluntly, they are messing with society.
Of course, they are a society that is more disciplined, loyal, and prefers to stick together, and there are many loyal people among them.
People who are engaged in gold-skin and color-painting trades, although they are in the world, are still doing legal business, and they rarely interact with people from the four families of Hualan and Ge Rong.
Those who have deep connections with people from these four sects are mostly heroes with strong martial arts skills, rich experience, and unique skills.
Generally speaking, when a hero traveling around encounters an uninvited guest with a strange expression or encounters a robber in a remote place, he must first say a mantra: "A flower hangs in the sky in the northwest, and the green forests in the world are one family."
The meaning of this sentence has two levels. One is to show one's identity in the world and ask the other party to be noble;
The second is to hint to the other party that he is also a veteran and is not easy to mess with.
According to the rules, if you are a member of the Hualan and Ge Rong sects, you can make money after hearing this sentence, but you cannot kill.
Moreover, one should "seek money with courtesy rather than force", and should not use force. They can only ask for courtesy by saying things like "As a bachelor, his life is short, and his friends will help him to feed himself."
When people outside the four gates hear this sentence, they will know that the other party should not be underestimated and retreat when faced with difficulties.
As for those who don't understand this sentence, they are mostly the kind of petty thieves who block the road and beat them up, not the heroes of the world.
The Huamen posterity should be of most interest to future generations. It refers to professional gamblers who make money. It is said that in order to make a living by gambling, one must have a master and a teacher who can "make fish", which is what the saying goes.
But Huamen is far from having the cool skills and even status in the movies like those of later generations. In fact, in this era, these professional gamblers often work part-time as robbers and often sell cigarettes. Most of them have martial arts skills and are very fierce. .
Lanmen refers to the green forest thieves, and thieves are slightly different from bandits.
A group of poor people gathering together in the mountains and forests are bandits; thieves in the forest must have a master, a teacher, martial arts skills, and experience and knowledge in the world.
In the words of later generations, the degree of "professionalization" is higher than that of bandits, which is called "Lan Family Men".
Rongmen refers to thieves, who call themselves "Rongxing" or "from the old Rong family".
The person who can claim to be a member of the Rong family cannot be a petty thief, but a big thief who works alone, also known as "Gaomai".
Ge: Outside the Hua, Lan, and Rong sects, those who rely on martial arts to make an illegal living are collectively called "Ge", and are also called "those who eat Ge's thoughts."
Some charlatan killers, thugs, lone bandits who rob homes, and even general pickers can all be classified as Ge's family.
Leaving aside the other things, let’s just say that the Rongmen and the Kongmen were originally from the same family, but some of them became rich in petty theft and became big thieves. Naturally, they looked down on their former little brothers.
Moreover, Buddhist views are more likely to be despised by the people, so they call themselves Rongmen, which seems to have a higher style and deeper style, but in fact they are thieves.
The group of people in front of me are the lowest level in the thief industry!
"Third Young Master, I have no intention of being an enemy of you, but the old knife is dead, and I have to give an explanation to the elderly in my family."
"That's your business, I have nothing to do~"
With that said, he signaled to Gou Sheng, who generously stepped forward and took out the black pearl necklace from Lao Daozi's hand.
After looking at the miserable image of Lao Daozi, who was still dead in silence, Gou Sheng clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"It's a pity, I don't know the person~"
Gou Sheng's words shocked all the people in Kongmen, but they did not dare to refute, allowing Gou Sheng to return to Zhu Chuanren without any care~
"Third Young Master~"
"To Miss Jane~"
Jian Yi was in shock. It was the first time in her life that she saw a living person dying in front of her. Her little face was so scared that it was whiter than the moonlight.
"Mr. Zhu, this"
"Take it and return it to its original owner~"
Then he ordered Gou Sheng:
"Send Miss Jane back to the hotel~"
"Yes~"
Gou Sheng knew that Zhu Chuanren was going to attack the Kongmen, and the next scene was not suitable for children.
"Third Young Master, you must give me an explanation for this matter today!"
Lao Pi is also very particular. He asked Zhu Chuanren to send the girl around him away before he said harsh words~
"What if I can't give it?"
"Then, Third Young Master, you have to leave a few brothers behind today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Pi put two fingers into his mouth, and when he exerted force, an eagle's cry exploded in the night sky.
A flash of light flashed in Zhu Chuanren's eyes, and it seemed that the old knife man had ambushed his backhand.
A few seconds later, the ground trembled, and a faint rumble sounded:
"Master Pi, the brothers are here, what should I say?"
When Zhu Chuanren turned around, he saw that he and his brothers were dominated by a group of ragged thieves. This group of thieves usually looked inconspicuous, but now they all had ruthless expressions on their faces, as if they were going to eat Zhu Chuanren alive.
"Haha, that's interesting~" Zhu Chuanren was not afraid. A group of thieves were vulnerable to bullets.
As soon as he raised his hand, the brothers opened their clothes and revealed their jet-black pistols, which looked jet-black and shiny in the moonlight.
"Sigh~"
All the people in Kongmen took a breath of cold air. I am competing with you in terms of numbers, but you are playing with bullets with me, right?Do you want to be so cruel?
Zhu Chuanren also took out a gun from his waist, raised it with one hand, and pointed the gun directly between Lao Pi's eyebrows.
"Can you repeat what you just said?"
Big beads of sweat flowed down Lao Pi's cheeks, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes. He still underestimated the ruthlessness of the third young master. He really didn't expect that all the brothers under the third young master Zhu were equipped with guns.
If Zhu Chuanren knew his thoughts, he would be happy to explain to him:
"Either you are lucky. The brothers just got pistols and used them on him for the first time. He should feel honored."
"Third Young Master, we may have some misunderstandings."
"Misunderstanding? Why don't I think~"
"It's really a misunderstanding. I called the brothers to come, but they were actually collecting the bodies for Lao Daozi."
Ouch~ This reason was so perfect that Zhu Chuanren couldn't even say no.
"Really? I thought you were going to gang up on me~"
"No, how dare you?" Lao Pi forced out a sneer.
"Haha, I think you are very brave~" Zhu Chuanren's arms were tired, so he simply put them down.
As soon as he fired his gun, his brothers followed suit, and their movements were uniform, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
But it didn't, it was just the accumulated result of so many years of bans and orders.
"Then can we go?" Zhu Chuanren asked in an angry voice, but it sounded teasing to Lao Pi's ears.
"Of course, of course, Third Young Master please!"
This time, Lao Pi didn't need to say anything. The people in the empty gate automatically parted ways and looked at Zhu Chuanren with dissatisfied expressions, but most of them were still very scared. It could be seen that they were a little afraid of this rich boy.
It’s too cruel. Who can bring so many guns with them when they go out? One is enough to show off their power. Having so many guns is enough for a small city sniper battle!
Zhu Chuanren didn't care what they thought, he got so many pistols just to deal with similar situations at any time.
There may be no person in the world who is more afraid of death than Zhu Chuanren. In order to save his life, he will resort to any seemingly extreme behavior.
Back at the main entrance of Licha Hotel, Gou Sheng just came out:
"Third Young Master~"
"Oh, where's Miss Jane?"
"She is giving gifts to Miss Helen inside. She should have finished giving them away by now~"
"Well, I understand. Then I won't go in. It's not interesting."
"Third Young Master, do you want to give Kongmen a warning?"
"Send a message to Huang Mapi and ask him to tell the people in Kongmen that I will wait for an explanation from them!"
Didn't Lao Pi want him to give an explanation?Then let’s see who gives an explanation to whom!
"Yes! Third Young Master, shall we go home?"
"Leave a brother behind and tell Miss Jane to help me deliver the birthday gift to Miss Helen."
"Yes!"
Zhu Chuanren patted his butt and did not take away a single cloud.
That night at Jian's house, Jian Yi happily told her parents what happened tonight. She was happy, but her parents looked sad.
"My good girl, why are you getting together with Zhu Chuanren?" Mother Jian said half dotingly and half helplessly.
"What's wrong? Mom, I think he is very good. If it hadn't been for him tonight, our Jian family would have been embarrassed, and I would have become a sinner of the Jian family!"
"In my eyes, it's just a gift. If you lose it, you'll lose it. The worst we can do is give him something more valuable later. But if you get close to this Zhu Chuanren, I have to worry about you."
Jian Yi pouted unhappily:
"Looking at what you said, it sounds like Zhu Chuanren is some kind of savage beast."
"He is not a scourge, but he is more terrifying than a scourge. Xiaoyi, you have to listen to your mother on this matter and stay away from that Zhu Chuanren!"
Father Jian also spoke.
Jian Yi doesn’t understand:
"Dad, who is that Zhu Chuanren? Why are you so afraid of him?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of him. That kid is just a whirlpool of trouble. If you get involved with him, you won't get any good results."
"Isn't that true? I think he is very good. He really helped me a lot tonight!"
"You don't understand, okay, go upstairs and rest quickly, remember to be obedient!"
Jian's father emphasized his tone, and Jian Yi did not dare to disobey. She pouted, made a dissatisfied sound, and went upstairs angrily.
After she went up, Jian's father said helplessly:
"This girl is spoiled by the two of us~"
"No, but Zhu Chuanren, why don't you send someone to say thank you? After all, he helped our daughter. If he doesn't show any expression at all, if word gets out, people will scold our Jian family for not knowing the rules."
Father Jian nodded:
"If you want it, arrange for someone to give you some specialties from Guangdong Province. It's just a matter of money, and I won't be short of it."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Hey~ I really don't know if it's a good or bad thing for Jian Yi to know Zhu Chuanren~"
"Just have less contact from now on, no need to touch too much now~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper came over and whispered a few words in Father Jian's ear.
"Is there such a thing?"
"The news just came back~"
"sure?"
“It shouldn’t be wrong, it’s already spread in the market~”
Father Jian looked at his wife and smiled bitterly:
"I'm really afraid of what will come. I just said he was a den of trouble. Isn't this the time when trouble is coming?"
"what happened?"
"In order to help Jian Yi get the necklace back, Zhu Chuanren confronted the Kongmen people and even used a gun."
Mother Jian immediately became worried:
"What should we do~"
Father Jian muttered:
"It seems that it is necessary for me to meet and chat with that Young Master Zhu San~"
"is this necessary?"
"Of course, if we don't explain the matter clearly, outsiders will tie our Jian family and Zhu family together~"
"Then thank you?"
"Prepare the thank-you gifts as soon as you need them, one size at a time. When they are ready, I will send them to you personally."
"Okay~"
Then Jian's father told the housekeeper:
"Send a greeting note to Zhu Gongguan~"
"Yes, sir~"
Zhu Chuanren, who had returned home at this time, was chatting with Zhu Kaishan, and they happened to talk about tonight's events.
"Empty door?"
"Well, they are just a bunch of thieves. They really treat themselves like a dish when they come up with a name~"
"These people are like toads on their feet. They don't bite but respond to others. You have to be careful!"
"I know it. I've already sent someone to warn me. If you're interested, you should give me an explanation. Otherwise, I don't mind letting them start all over again!"
Zhu Kaishan sighed:
"This world is too chaotic. There are many friends and many paths. Not all Buddhists are villains."
"Dad, I know, don't worry."
"Okay, I won't mess with it. You can rest early."
After sending Zhu Kaishan out of the study, Lao Tan happened to come over, and Zhu Chuanren waved to him:
"How is the man named Luo doing?"
"I was just about to talk about this. Third Young Master, Luo is preparing goods. It looks like he really wants to transport things to Xiangjiang."
"Impossible. Have you found the goods? What is it?"
"We have everything, food, drink, and supplies!"
"Find a way to open the box and check. There must be contraband inside!" Zhu Chuanren was very sure.
"Yes, I will find a way to arrange for brothers to go in,"
"Well, how's it going with Lao He?"
"It's the same, there's no change. Every day it's either a dog racing track or a horse racing track, or the Little Oriole troupe is called in to sing, and it lasts all night."
Zhu Chuanren laughed and scolded:
"This Taisheng He really knows how to enjoy happiness. I even envy him!"
