In the spring of the 19th year of Yongtai, Hangzhou.
In the blink of an eye, winter has turned to spring, and it has been several months since Sun Yixie returned to Hangzhou.
In the past few months, Sun Yixie has been busier than ever. He was so busy that he couldn't even take a few days off during the New Year.
Then what is he busy with? It’s not just about the “West Lake Elegant Seat”.
The initial stage of undertaking such a large project is the most difficult. Usually the process of site selection and land purchase can be delayed for three to five months, not to mention... Sun Yixie is still planning to build a large project in West Lake. To open a restaurant in a place like this where land is at a premium, there are too many things that need to be "unblocked" and "managed."
Fortunately, his Sun family is powerful in Hangzhou after all, and Sun Yixie has recently gained some reputation with Jin Yiwei, so the government is giving him the green light everywhere.
Finally, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month of this year, construction of Sun Yixie's restaurant officially began.
The wood and stone construction craftsmanship of the Yu Dynasty was already very good. Even if Sun Yixie proposed a requirement of "four floors with a floor height of eight feet", which was quite rare at the time, there was actually no technical problem. As long as your manpower and construction funds can keep up, this kind of project can be completed in three or four months at the earliest.
However, most projects in those days were often unable to achieve these two points, so it was common for them to be delayed for a year and a half.
Sun Yixie didn’t want to delay it for so long, so he made a big deal this time: he recruited almost all the best craftsmen and supervisors in the Jiangnan area, and hired all the workers. We don’t want those who are young and strong and want to live here. The building materials used in building the building are also bought according to the good quality. The local ones are shipped from other places after they are bought...
Jian In a word - don't be short of money, just get things done.
Just like that, more than a month later, in March, the restaurant project was progressing very smoothly, and Sun Yixie finally had some free time.
But it happened that at this time, something happened in the city of Hangzhou.
It is said that a gangster named "Red Plum Bird" accidentally escaped to Hangzhou at this time.
Who is this person?
Four sentences - The green forest despises the Tao of leather, the rivers and lakes cannot tolerate tigers and wolves, they commit adultery, robbery and plunder, and they lose their conscience and are in vain.
You said that there is just such a gangster who is wanted dead by the Green Forest, Jianghu, and the government. Why is he not dead yet?
It’s very simple, his martial arts is good.
How good is it? Let's put it this way... Compared with his peers, he is better than Shen Youran.
Some people may be wondering again: Why is a gangster's martial arts so high?
Or you can think about it the other way around: Why would a person whose martial arts reached the level of a first-class sect leader at the age of thirty become a gangster?
This is a long story...
You readers are also well-informed, I think everyone has seen itA story similar to this:
A young man has been burdened with a blood feud since he was a child, and has lived a life of being bullied and homeless.
Until one day, he fell off a cliff/fallen to the bottom of a valley/lost his footing and fell into the water...
Then by chance, he met a peerless master, or picked up a peerless master. The secrets left behind/the martial arts skills carved on the mountain/the scriptures hidden in the belly of the ape...
At the same time, he may also find some natural materials and earthly treasures that only grow in this place, and eat them. One sip can increase your skill, activate your potential, be immune to all poisons, etc...
In short, after experiencing this adventure, when he comes out of the mountain, not to mention this young man's martial arts. He is invincible in the world and has reached a level where he can compete with the top masters.
The plot that follows is basically that this young man returns to the world, emerges from nowhere, takes revenge, acts chivalrously, shows mercy at all times, and finally ends up with one or more beauties. I know my way back to the mountains and forests.
This kind of story is quite interesting at first glance, but after reading it more, you can't help but wonder - what if this boy is a bad guy?
In other words, he doesn’t need to be a bad person, he just needs to be a common person who is neither good nor bad, so what will happen?
Hong Wei may be the answer.
Before the age of twenty-five, he was just an ordinary commoner, making a living by doing odd jobs.
He did know a lot of words in the paper, because his family was not too poor when he was a child, and his parents sent him to school for a few years, but he could only learn to read.
In terms of martial arts, he has done physical work all year round and has strong arms, but he definitely doesn't know how to do martial arts, and he is not up to the level of the natural supernatural power of a "strong man" on the Green Forest Road.
You might call him a good person, but his ideological consciousness is not that high.
Call him a bad guy, but he doesn’t have the guts to break the law and discipline.
He dares to pick up a small amount of money and refuse to hand it over, but he dares not to rob someone of a large fortune in front of him; he dares to peek at someone else’s young wife, but he dares not come forward to tease her; he dares to fight with others, and he dares to do evil things. Don't dare... He is not counted as being kind and honest, and neither is he who is evil, greedy and slippery.
Just such a person, one day he got lucky and got the "protagonist treatment".
That day, Hong Wei took a job and ran errands for someone. In order to save some travel expenses, he left the main road and took a shortcut, but he lost his footing and fell off the cliff.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not fall to death, he also found a cave at the bottom of the valley where an expert once lived - there were martial arts secrets and treasures of heaven and earth.
Hong Wei lived at the bottom of the valley for five years, practiced martial arts for five years, and ate all the treasures of heaven and earth for five years. Before leaving, he did not forget to destroy the place to prevent the future. There will be others who will also have this wonderful experience.
When Hong Wei came out of the mountain, it happened to be the autumn of the 18th year of Yongtai, which was around the time of the Young Heroes Meeting in Luoyang.
When he first came out of the martial arts world, he was not very courageous. Although he felt that his martial arts skills should be quite high, after all, he had never fought with anyone before, so he was still a little afraid and uneasy.
Therefore, during that time, he did not dare to do anything particularly outrageous. He only occasionally had conflicts with some gangsters.
But later... as the number of times he played against others increased, he became more and more clear about his positioning of strength, so his courage also increased.
Now he can do many things that he couldn't even think about before, and he won't be afraid of getting in trouble after doing it.
What do you think will happen to a mortal when he gains power?
Will he continue to be a mortal and use his power to serve this society?
Yes, I am taking Peter Parker as an example...and, if you think about it carefully, a person who can make that choice cannot actually be called a mortal, because he is also a "hero" in spirit ".
The first thing that real mortals and ordinary people think of after gaining power must be to seek personal gain for themselves--under the premise of ensuring their own safety, make full use of this power to make themselves better off. .
In this process, some people can still stick to the bottom line for the time being, but others will get lost as their desires expand and gradually lose their morality.
Hong Wei undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
At first, he thought he was a knight who went out to hunt down robbers and bandits. While attacking the bad guys, he also took their money and spent it on himself.
This money is well spent... but it is quite practical.
However, there is a saying that goes well - it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After Hong Wei spent a period of lavish life with the money he robbed, you make him suffer again. Life is difficult; but where in the world are there so many thieves for him to plunder? So during that time, Hong Wei would have a bad temper whenever money was tight... A person with a big temper would easily get into arguments with others, and those who could challenge him and start arguments were mostly people from the world of martial arts or green forest, not good-hearted people. Stubble... Therefore, Hong Wei treated those who offended him as "evil people".
Later, he simply convinced himself that rich people are evil people. Isn’t there a saying that “it’s unkind to be rich”? Then if I rob them, it will be "robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
As for the matter of "money", he had convinced himself in this way, and the matter of "sex" was not far away.
In the stories we are familiar with, the "protagonists" have many confidantes, and there is usually a prerequisite - without them, it is just "handsome".
What does "one sight of Yang Guo lead to a lifelong mistake"? If Yang Guo grows up like Louis Koo, the "mistake" means delay, but if Yang Guo grows up like Guo Degang, the "mistake" means a misunderstanding.
As for Hong Wei, he doesn’t look very good, and his conversational temperament is relatively vulgar. Since his expansion, he has spoken a lot more aggressively, which can be said to be more and more irritating.People are disgusted.
For a man like this, even if a woman is willing to approach him, it is usually with a purpose: mostly for money, or to ask him to do something, and it is impossible for anyone to come to him.
Although Hong Wei is not very intelligent, he is not stupid either... To say the least, even if he is really stupid, he will naturally learn to be smarter after being deceived a few times. Therefore, he is self-aware of himself and knows that with his virtue, there is no chance of finding any beauties. All he needs to do is go to a brothel to get some money.
But he had been to brothels a lot, and he was tired of it. He felt that prostitutes were boring, so he wanted to find a girl from a good family...
At this time, Hong Wei also had lives in his hands. There were quite a few. He had killed both good and bad people. Morality, reputation and the like were not very important to him, so he started to pick flowers.
It was from that time on that people began to call him "Red Plum Bird".
The so-called red plum is actually a mispronunciation of the name "Hong Wei", and because it was winter when he became active, the word "que" naturally implies his Qinggong.
As for himself, he was quite proud of the nickname. He thought it sounded good, so he later customized a bunch of handkerchiefs embroidered with red plum blossoms and sparrows. After each crime, he would Leave a piece on site.
By this period, Hong Wei had completely fallen.
He has turned a blind eye to all the laws and morals of the world, and all that is left in his eyes is wine, sex, wealth and wealth. What others do has nothing to do with him. He just wants to be happy.
Of course, it cannot be called an accident that he will become like this. It can even be said to be very typical - once a person gains an ability that exceeds his own temperament and capacity, he will most likely be slowed down. Slow corrosion...
In this way, in less than half a year, Hong Wei committed more than 20 crimes in various provinces. Most of the victims were either killed by him or committed suicide later. The impact of "Red Plum Bird" can be seen Said to be extremely bad, not only the government issued a sea arrest document, but also Jianghu and Green Forest wanted to capture him.
But how could it be so easy to get someone in those days? There was no photo or anything, and the accuracy of the portrait was too low, with limited reference value, so Hong Wei still went around committing crimes unscrupulously.
Finally...one day in March, he came to the border of Hangzhou.
Actually, he had wanted to come here for a long time because he had always heard that this beauty from the south of the Yangtze River was very beautiful. However, when Hong Wei entered the city, he immediately had other thoughts.
And his target is no one else, it is Hangzhou... Sun Mansion.
