Chapter 22 Yizhangqing
The downstairs of Yuxiao in Xiaosha Pavilion.
Ah Huang carried the man in black to a miscellaneous room. Today was the first day of the lunar new year, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse. Ah Huang lit an oil lamp and reached out to pat the man in black to wake him up.
When the man in black woke up, he saw a long and ugly face stuck in front of him. He just wanted to struggle, but a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and a short knife was put on his neck.
Ah Huang's voice was indifferent.
"You haven't answered the three questions I asked you just now!"
"Who are you?" The man in black was terrified.
"As I said just now, my surname is Huang, and people call me Laomatou. Of course, I used to have a title, but I haven't used it for more than ten years. Few people know this title. Now, I'm just Yiguo An old servant of the Duke's mansion is Qin Sanlang's groom, no, since yesterday, I have been the housekeeper of Sanlang's Yong'an Square House."
"Then you know who I am. I am from the Green Snake Hall. If you dare to touch me, you will be swallowed by ten thousand snakes." The man in black threatened.
"Oh, so it's from the Green Snake Hall. It's just a group of orphans and community rats in Pingkangfang, Chang'an. It's made up of vicious teenagers in the city's Lifang. They mainly do dirty work such as kidnapping and assassination. Sometimes they also do some kidnapping and trafficking of children. Women's jobs, am I right?"
"Since you know the name of my Green Snake Hall, why don't you let me go."
The old horse lowered his head, showing his yellow teeth, and said with a chuckle, "To tell you the truth, I was actually a wicked boy back then, but now I am old. When I was young, I was a rascal in the market. When I was twelve or thirteen years old Beginning to kill people, when he was 14 or 15 years old, he became a thief when he was embarrassed, and he killed anyone who was unhappy. When he was 17 or 18 years old, he had gathered a party, gathered hundreds of minions under his command, surrounded the village and destroyed the stronghold, and killed countless people. At the age of 20 , is already the leader of a green forest, and has more than a thousand brothers under him, once stomping his feet, it also caused the state and county to shake."
He laughed and said, "I can't even remember how many people I have killed. Not only did I kill, I also ate people. Today you fell into my hands, what do you think I will do? It's a simple killing." It’s too late, should I roast you? You are too old, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, so you have to dig out the heart and liver and fry it. You’d better marinate it with salt and wine before frying. It's more delicious."
The man in black listened to the horrific words, and then looked at the gloomy gaze, terrified in his heart. Although he did the work of killing and kidnapping with money, he had never done such a thing as cannibalism, let alone put the Cannibalism is so enjoyable as people say.
His eyes flickered, and he said forcefully, "It's just you, don't believe me!"
Ah Huang flicked his wrist, and the knife in his hand cut through the robe of the man in black. His blade slashed across the man's chest, waist and abdomen, and finally landed on his thigh.
"This piece of meat is not bad."
The man in black followed the blade, feeling like ants crawling over his body, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"What do you want to know?"
The old horse raised his blade a little, "Tell me, who hired you."
"It's a mission sent by the hall. It's a temporary mission tonight. The mission is urgent, but the money is too much. The hall master gave me 10,000 yuan and asked me to come here to do this vote."
"Dare to kill the son of a duke of the state with a mere ten pennies, and this is an official ordered by the court?" Lao Huang put the knife above his life root.
"I'm not lying, it's true that there are only ten guans. I don't know who the employer is, but my mission is not to kill Qin Lang, but to let me come over and teach him a lesson, breaking one of his legs and breaking his ribs."
Ah Huang's face was still unhappy when he heard this.
"What a brave dog."
The man in black said, "I'm only doing things with money."
Ah Huang said coldly, "But there are some money you shouldn't take, and some things you shouldn't do!" After speaking, he slammed the green snake on the head with the handle of his knife, knocking him unconscious.
Then, he began to search this guy carefully, and opened the veil, revealing a yellow face inside. It was a guy about thirty years old, with a green snake tattooed on his left arm.
······
Qin Lang followed Ah Huang to the miscellaneous room, and saw the naked man.
"Green Snake Hall?"
"The Green Snake Hall is a small gang in Pingkangfang. The head of the gang is Yizhangqing. They are mainly active in Beiqu at ordinary times. They are composed of street thugs, etc. They mainly engage in assassination, kidnapping, prostitution, and human trafficking. There are about a hundred people, and they are only a small faction in Chang'an."
Qin Lang nodded, "Ah Huang, you know quite a lot?"
"Sanlang, Ah Huang, I usually like to ask questions, so I just know something." Ah Huang said wretchedly. Qin Lang patted him on the shoulder, "But you not only found this man, but also took him down, which is not easy."
Ah Huang smirked, pretending to be stupid.
"Ah Huang, do you think these people will be sent by Chai Lingwu?" Qin Lang first became suspicious of Chai Er. After all, Chai Er had lost face with him just now, and it was not too late for such a dude to take revenge if he had revenge. With his temperament, it is very possible to find Ping Kangfang's gang.
"Perhaps, but since this green snake fell into our hands, we will go directly to the entrance of the Green Snake Hall in Beiqu, won't we know everything?"
"Ah Huang, you are really a **** talent, being a groom is too wronged for you." Qin Lang found that this old Huang with missing teeth was really hiding something.
"Sanlang, I'm the housekeeper now." Ah Huang laughed.
Several people looked at the green snake that had just woken up, and looked at each other.
"I, Qin Lang, have always been respected by others, and I will not be offended if people don't offend me. But now someone wants to play the real game and break my leg. This is too much."
Wei Chang also nodded and said, "It's indeed too late, but things need to be clarified." He also suspected that it was Chai Lingwu who did it, but the other party was a top dude, and he was also worried that Qin Lang would act rashly.
"Brothers, I plan to go to the Green Snake Hall in Beiqu to find one. I wonder if everyone is willing to go with me?" Qin Qiong glanced at several people.
These people have taken his gold, and he is trying his best to win them over. Now it is time to try them and see if they are reliable.
Wu Hou team leader Zhang Cheng yawned, his eyes were a little red, and he had just squinted for a while. He looked at the sky, it was still dark at this time, and there was still a while before dawn.
"Why don't you wait until dawn and notify the Wannian County Government?"
"It's still early in the sky, why are you just sitting like this?" Lin San said bluntly, "The Green Snake Hall is just a group of shady underdogs who specialize in doing some shady things. Yizhangqing is now He is getting more and more daring, even the officials dared to move, Qin Sanlang, you don't need to step out, I will take my brothers to level the Green Snake Hall, and arrest Yizhang Qing for questioning!"
Qin Lang smiled, "I want to meet this Yizhangqing in person, to see if he has three heads and six arms, or if he has eaten the heart of a bear, of course, I have no grudge against Yizhangqing, I want to know more Who did he take the money from?"
Pingkangfang is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County, and it is also night, but Wei Chang is still willing to take a trip with Qin Lang.
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to say that he was willing to hunt down the culprits together.
The group of people cursed, rubbed their eyes and yawned, and rushed towards Beiqu Green Snake Hall with the smell of alcohol.
Lin San is the head snake of Pingkangfang, usually active in Nanqu, and has nothing to do with the Green Snake Hall in Beiqu, but he despises the activities of the Green Snake Hall the most, such as forcing women into prostitution and abducting people into slavery.
He recruited a few brothers, "Although we usually do not interfere with the Qingsnake Hall, our White Horse Hall looks down on these lowly people. Today they have angered Qin Sanlang. We have to take care of Brother Ninth's benefactor." They're gone."
Several people nodded together.
Lin Shirong said again, "Hurry up and take your brothers to surround the Green Snake Hall first, and don't let anyone go."
Liu Jiu came over, "Third brother, don't be surrounded to death, just send clever brothers to watch the front and back doors of the Green Snake Hall. If anyone comes out, don't stop them, just hang them up, see where they go, and write down Name return."
Lin San immediately understood that the elder brother was going fishing with a line, deliberately trying to scare the snake, and then he could follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes.
"The elder brother is still wise."
Wei Chang reminded Qin Lang, "Although Sanlang is an official, he is still a county captain, but this is Wannian County, and we bad people are not on duty."
"So what? Green Snake Hall blatantly assassinated court officials. It is a just act for me to lead Chang'an Yimin to arrest thieves and traitors."
He focused on the word Yimin, not the official status of Chang'an County bad person, Wuhou, etc.
Beiqu along the Northeast Square wall of Pingkangfang is not far from Nanqu Pingqu, but it is like two worlds. There are no gorgeous pavilions and courtyards, and there are no gorgeous and fashionable female prostitutes here.
There are a large number of lowly prostitutes gathered here, the courtyards are low, the roads are potholes, and those low courtyards are also full of many slaves, gamblers, beggars, idlers, etc.
The Green Snake Hall is located here. In a dilapidated courtyard, the hall master Yi Zhangqing is accompanying a tall-nosed barbarian.
Chang'an City is large, and there are many Hu people, which is not uncommon.
Hu Ren sat on the couch, waiting a little impatiently, "How come such a small matter hasn't been done yet?"
"Brother Kang, please sit down for a moment, don't worry." Yizhang Qing is tall and thin, with triangular eyes, although he looks ugly, but this person is ruthless. When he was young, he was sold into the brothel in Beiqu , Later, for stealing money from a guest, the old bust cut off two fingers, beat him half to death, and was thrown out of the brothel to die when he was dying, but he survived.
Later he became a beggar, and step by step he also became a figure who founded a faction in Beiqu, with a big snake stabbed in his chest, and called himself Yizhangqing. The old bustard and the tortoise who cut off two of his fingers and nearly killed him back then had their hands and feet cut off by him, and they were immersed in a big urn, and he tormented him for three years before they died.
This is an absolutely ruthless person, and he was able to get to where he is today thanks to his viciousness and viciousness like a poisonous snake.
As long as the price is right, he dares to do any dirty work.
Just a **** from the Duke’s Mansion, he can collect 100,000 yuan just for breaking a leg, which is definitely a good deal for Yizhangqing.
He was originally a person who came back from the dead, a poisonous snake hiding in the dark corner of Chang'an, and the lofty Duke's Mansion, to him, was just a target that he could bite at any time.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yu Xiao was fascinated by herself in the mirror.
Qin Sanlang left and went to settle accounts with the people from the Green Snake Hall, and she began to worry about him inexplicably.
"Girl, will Qin Sanlang come back?" asked the maidservant Luzhu. The bustard had already held a grooming ceremony for Miss Yuxiao and Qin Sanlang, and Sanlang stayed here at night to hang his clothes. "Will he come to pick up the girl to go to the Qin Mansion? Will he take the girl as a concubine?"
Yu Xiao stretched out her hand to rest her chin, and continued to trance.
"Girl, did Qin Sanlang pick your flowers?" Lu Zhu couldn't help asking.
Yuxiao rested her chin and said nothing.
