Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 219 The Water Ghost
The city of Qiantang is not like other places, square and square, surrounded by high walls on all sides, but scattered like stars and chess pieces.There is no special city wall, only a virtual gate.The house that Yang Xin prepared for Xu Qing's family was secluded, so he lived alone in a house on the outskirts of Qiantang.

The four girls were disturbed by a man named "Sun Mu" to go shopping, the key point was the kind of hooligan.Sun Youcai's elegant name is Sun Mu, so Xu Qing followed Sun Youcai and sent Anhe to inquire. Sure enough, Sun Youcai's family was in chaos, saying that the master's life was cut off.

If that is the case, then there is no need to discuss it.Xu Qing was ready to take revenge, so he called all the members of the dark river to his home, held a feast, ate and drank everything, and agreed to teach Sun Youcai the next morning.Moreover, the house where Xu Qing lived was relatively large, and more than 200 people could live in Xiahehe, so after the banquet, they all stayed here to rest.

But in the middle of the night, I heard the door being smashed, a series of torches outside the wall, and someone shouting:
"Robbery! Open the door for me!"

Water ghost is the famous gangster boss by the West Lake. He has a group of younger brothers and more than a dozen black awning boats. He does things vigorously and resolutely.Legend has it that the water ghost is also a big boss who once fought for hegemony with the princes of the Central Plains, because... oh, according to him, it was because he was tired of disputes and returned to nest by the West Lake.

Later today, the younger brother brought someone to say that there is a money giver.The water ghost breaks his fingers, it's not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, how can there be money?
After taking a look, I realized that it was not to offer money, but to ask him to go down the mountain, oh no, it was out of the lake to do a business.He also promised how much and how much rice, and what made him even more tempted was that the host also had three Mrs. Yazhai to send them off.

Isn't it beautiful?

The water ghost is not young anymore, he comes and goes in the wind and rain, licking blood from the knife edge.Now that I think of being single, I can't help feeling short of breath, and suddenly want to wash my hands in a golden basin, retreat to the second line, and then bring Mrs. Yazhai to have a litter of babies.

Alright, the hero is saddened by the beauty pass, since Master Sun has such kindness, then it's not good for me to rob him.

The water ghost gathered more than 100 horsemen, all of whom were vicious and powerful, and rushed to Qiantang in the starry night.I saw Master Sun again, expressed condolences, patted my chest and said, I will definitely help Master Sun to avenge his revenge.When they took the red envelopes and surrounded Xu Qing's mansion, it was already midnight, after midnight.

There was silence around the house.The surrounding people had already rolled up their quilts and hid in the center of the city. The government servants in the county have been taken care of and will not come to the rescue.

The house in front of me looks like an egg on the road, which is in danger of being broken at any time.

At this time, the water ghost boss slowed down.

Because he learned that the owners who live here are three beautiful women, and they are also Mrs. Yazhai that Sun Youcai wants to give him.

In front of his future wife, Shui Gui decided to make some tweaks to leave a better image.

There are more than 100 water thieves, plus Sun Youcai's own gang of henchmen and servants, there are more than 200 people in total.Judging by the number of people, it is evenly matched with the members of the dark river in the house.

"Robbery! Open the door quickly!"

"You bastard! Is there anyone who talks to the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady?!" The water ghost yelled and threw the little brother who knocked on the door aside.Adjust your clothes and clear your throat: "Ahem, listen up, people inside, obediently invite your mistress out, so you don't die."

After the water ghost finished speaking, he looked back, meaning, see, this is a civilized person!
Anhe was very vigilant, and kept guards even at the banquet. They had already noticed Shuigui and the others long before a cup of tea.

Someone even went to ask Xu Qing for advice, but Xu Qing was so sleepy that he didn't turn over. He just said the word "beat" and continued to sleep soundly.

Well, this kind of trivial matter really can't bother the big boss, so why don't you ask the second boss?
The second boss is Yang Cheng, he said: "Catch the head alive, kill the rest of the thieves, and notify the government tomorrow morning." prey.

"Bang bang bang!" The water ghost is a bandit after all, and after pretending to be a gentleman for a while, he immediately returned to his true colors: "Hmph, I don't want to drink a toast, come here, come over the wall for me, knock me down the door!"

"Okay!" The group of boys rushed to the bottom of the wall, one squatting, the other stepping on the wall, huh.

"Swish, swish!" The one who stepped on the wall on his shoulder could only see the endless darkness of the house, the metal reflected light, and then he was shot in the head and fell staggeringly.

The person who was doing the piercing below felt his shoulders loosen, and the person on his shoulders fell down with a plop, and suddenly felt a heat in his neck, oh my god, it was blood.This blood is not other people's, it is their own, but when they realize that it is their own blood, they have lost consciousness.

The water thieves did not climb over the wall. Instead, they saw rows of men in black jumping out of the wall. A pair of sharp short knives, and a hand crossbow arrow sent suddenly, were harvesting the lives of the thieves. .

The servants dispersed in a rush, they just used money to work, put on airs, and it was okay to go with the wind and waves, but when they met people like Anhe, they couldn't afford to work hard, right?Even the master who was hiding in the dark and couldn't move himself forgot to take it away.Water thieves are different. Although they also use money to do things, the money they get is not wages, but dividends. They have equity, so they picked up their strength, brandished knives and guns, and fought against the dark river.

However, the number of people is insufficient, and the combat power is far inferior to Anhe, and in the end it is just the result of being unable to recover.

Sun Youcai was lying on the couch, and it was too painful to sit up or walk, so he had to roll under the couch, watching what happened at the gate of Xu Qing's mansion.

Then, he was captured in one fell swoop.

Except for the fastest servant and scattered water thieves, as well as Sun Youcai and water ghosts, everyone else died here.The pitiful heaven is unkind, and regards all things as dogs, and people cannot be resurrected after death.

It was near noon the next day that Xu Qing woke up leisurely, with a face full of comfort after a full sleep, as if he had no idea what happened at the door of the house.

"Master, the body has been cleaned up, come out and have a look?" Yang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Brothers injured three, alas, those bastards actually bit people!"

Xu Qing glanced at Yang Cheng and thought, you want to claim credit, right?But he still said: "Hey, it's a bunch of bitterness, haha, go find a monk and Taoist priest to do a practice, and recite the scriptures."

I don't know why, when I first came to Tang Dynasty, I didn't feel any fear when I killed two thieves with my hands. I slept well and ate deliciously.Hitting Liu Heizai in Hebei, and following behind the large army to pick up dead people's money, was just covering their noses.But later, after going to Liaodong once and dreaming about mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Xu Qing became a little bit afraid.Lying in bed last night and not coming out, on the one hand, it was because of peace of mind, and on the other hand, it was also because he felt uncomfortable about killing people.

The dark river has done a good job, the corpses at the door have been removed, the stumps have been cleaned, the smell of blood has faded, and the ground has been covered with new soil.

"Has anyone been caught?" Xu Qing asked, although he didn't give specific instructions, but Yang Cheng was so close by his side, he already knew his habits.

"I caught it. It's that guy Sun Youcai, and there's also a thief in the lake. He's called Shuigui, but no one knows his real name." Yang Chengdao waved his hand and asked someone to bring the two of them up.

The two seemed to be kept in a dark place, and when they came out, they covered their eyes, their hair was disheveled, and their clothes were torn. It seemed that members of the Underworld took care of them.

Sun Youcai looked up, wanting to see clearly that the Lord was begging for mercy, but when he saw that it was Xu Qing, his lips trembled: "You, you, Xu Xu Chuliu!"

"It's me, why, can't you think of it?" Xu Qing smiled slightly, ignored Sun Youcai's resentful eyes, looked at the water ghost, and asked, "What is the name of this hero?"

"Hmph, if you want to kill or cut, you have to do it!" The water ghost turned his head to one side.

"Okay, you have backbone," Xu Qing said with a smile, "I heard that you went to the Central Plains to fight with the princes, do you know Du Fuwei?"

When the water ghost heard Du Fuwei, his body was shocked, and he laughed loudly and said: "I recognize it, but it's just a dead bone in the tomb. He is also a prince?"

"Oh?" Xu Qing couldn't help becoming interested when he heard this, and asked again: "Have you seen him before? thief?"

"Hmph, son, don't be too noisy. I've lived enough in this life. I've killed more people than mosquitoes. Earn, earn, earn!" After the water ghost finished speaking, Yang Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed. Yang Cheng saw how arrogant he was. kicked him in the face.This kick was quite skillful, neither light nor heavy, it would not knock out teeth or hurt the tongue, but the cheeks looked swollen, as if poisoned.

"Ahhh..." The water ghost screamed and moved wildly, but his whole body was tied up, and he couldn't break free no matter how he moved.

Xu Qing was also just curious about the status of the "lord" of the water ghost, to see if he was a big boss who had been screaming, but it didn't matter whether he knew it or not.

Looking at Sun Youcai, seeing that he still had a ruthless face, Xu Qing couldn't help sighing: "Oh, aren't you tired of pretending to be ruthless? How about a smile?" As he spoke, Xu Qing gave a demonstrative smile.

"My surname is Xu, let me tell you that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. On the three-acre land in Qiantang, you'd better not mess with us businessmen." Sun Youcai said confidently: "What you want is not to meddle with us." Is Qiantang a market, if you kill me, let's see how other people in Qiantang resist you."

"No, you're wrong. I don't like your Qiantang market. I asked you to kneel in front of me today just because of the fact that you played a hooligan in front of my wife yesterday." Xu Qing looked at Sun Youcai from top to bottom. , with a look of contempt.

Sun Youcai didn't believe it: "Everyone is in business, and you bought an article yesterday, why lie to yourself like this? Tell me, what kind of business do you want..."

At this time, gongs and drums were beating not far away, and someone shouted.Sun Youcai pricked up his ears and said happily, "Haha, my surname is Xu. I have a backer in the government. Don't look at Chen Yili admiring you yesterday, but when it comes to things, he still has to listen to us obediently!"

"Let me go, and apologize to me, and send your three wives here." Sun Youcai threatened, "If you don't, you will be a spy who kidnapped a wealthy businessman and colluded with the leader of the Lake Bandits!"

Xu Qing said coldly: "You are too confident..."
