The words are divided into two parts. On the same afternoon that Huang Donglai and the others entered the city, someone also entered the south gate of the capital.
This man was dressed in coarse clothes and came on foot with a big bag hanging on his shoulders.
I don’t know if his skin is black or dirty, it looks like it has been smeared with mud. Coupled with his beard and a large sore on the right side of his face, he looks really disgusting. Can't stand it.
This kind of man with a dirty appearance, plain clothes, and a weapon does not look like a man. He is obviously not a rich and powerful merchant official, nor does he look like a powerful figure in the world, so when he follows When Ren Liu entered the city, no one took him seriously.
However, if you let an expert with keen eyesight observe carefully, you will find that this person's body shape and footwork are actually much more steady and brisk than ordinary people, and the base of his neck is The skin color is different from that of the upper neck and face
In other words, this is a disguised person.
A person who deliberately hides his true appearance because he does not want to attract too much attention.
Then who is he?
I think all the readers have guessed it. He is Sun Yixie, who came all the way north from Hangzhou to Beijing after receiving the letter from Huang Donglai.
Ordinarily, Sun Yixie’s journey here is shorter than that of Huang Donglai and the others, and the roads in East China are also easier. He should arrive earlier, but because he wants to spend more time at home My family, by the way, wanted to clean up the impact Murong Ji had brought to their family's business, so they stayed in Hangzhou for a while before setting off.
It turned out to be a coincidence. He happened to arrive in the capital on the same day as Huang Donglai and his party.
Don’t forget that Sun Yixie is a tyrant in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has seen it before, but this is the first time he has come back to the capital city of Dashu. Therefore, like Huang Donglai, after Brother Sun entered the city, Everything I see feels fresh.
Considering that his disguise was quite time-consuming, Sun Yixie decided not to go to the inn to remove his makeup, but to take a walk around the city before sunset.
So, he wandered around the city, stopping and walking along the way. He watched people performing in the east, listened to people singing in the west, bought a few things in the south, and tasted a few snacks in the north. It was considered a short period of time. I came into contact with a lot of the customs and customs of the capital city.
After wandering like this for more than an hour, Sun Yixie was suddenly attracted by a scent. After searching for a while, he walked into a fly shop on the roadside.
The owner of this restaurant, whose surname is Chen, is in his fifties. He also studied with famous chefs for several years when he was young. After getting married, he established a business here based on his craftsmanship. From the beginning, he slowly It took more than 20 years to build the store we have now.
On weekdays, Boss Chen is only responsible for cooking in the back kitchen. His son-in-law is responsible for checking out, serving dishes, and greeting guests in the store, while the boss's daughter helps cook and wash dishes in the back. The business is busy. I will also come out to help serve the dishes.
Lao Chen also has a wife. Because her feet have been bound, she is a bit reluctant to help in the store, so she stayed at home to take care of her for two years.Young grandson.
It is such a small shop, such an ordinary family, which has been operating for several years by selling delicious home-cooked meals. It has a good reputation and the neighbors are taking good care of their business.
At this moment, Sun Yixie walked into the store and took a quick look and found that the room was quite lively. Except for a small table in the corner, all other tables were full, but he didn't mind where he sat, as long as the food was good. Just eat.
When Brother Sun sat down in the corner, the boss's son-in-law also came up to greet him. Sun Yixie didn't think much, ordered a pot of wine and a bowl of rice, and then told the cook to do whatever he wanted. Give him two specialty side dishes.
The boss’s son-in-law is also very clever. When he saw that Sun Yixie ordered rice instead of pasta or steamed buns, and from his accent, he guessed that he was from the south, so he went to the kitchen and asked his father-in-law to cook it. One fish and one meat are served, and we pay attention to the taste of southern dishes and northern dishes, so that guests can not only eat familiar dishes but also taste the taste that is unique to the north.
Just like that, Sun Yixie waited for a while, and his food was served.
Putting down the plate, the aroma rose. Sun Yixie lowered his head and took a look. The two dishes were both delicious and delicious, making people drool just by looking at them. Sun Yixie hadn't touched Kuaizi yet. I knew I had come to the right place today, and I was sure to enjoy this meal.
However, at this moment, there were seven or eight street walkers who happened to pass by the entrance of the store, and the person leading them happened to glance into the store because of the smell of the food. The woman who was serving food to Sun Yixie.
Because the store was busy at this time, it was the boss’s daughter who was in charge of serving food.
This woman is twenty-six years old this year. Although she is a mother of two children and usually does menial work, her appearance and figure are still beautiful and graceful.
At that time, the neighbors all said that with the beauty of Chen Dashao’s daughter, it was more than enough to find a concubine from a wealthy family in the capital. As long as Chen Dashao was willing to nod, their family would not be able to marry her for the rest of their lives. No matter what restaurant it is, you can just lie down and eat there.
Unexpectedly, Boss Chen later married his daughter to a poor child who had no father or mother and came to work in his store for no reason. He just liked her and the son-in-law was good to his daughter. .
More than ten years have passed, and time has indeed proved that Boss Chen’s choice was right. His son-in-law has always been very good to his daughter, and can also help him a lot in business. He is a diligent and thoughtful person. people.
But today, this young couple is in trouble
“Hey, this is a scene. I’ve been here every once in a while, why did I miss it? "The man at the head of the door saw the boss's daughter and couldn't take it out. While muttering these dirty words, he led the seven big men behind him into the house.
When the boss's daughter saw this, she quickly returned to the kitchen with the dish in her arms.
"Hey, gentlemen, please stay." The boss's son-in-law also stepped forward very smartly, stopped in front of those people, and squeezed out a smile, "Look, we are a small shop, and we are already seated. Full”
"Why do you want to chase people away as soon as you come in?" The leader opposite, at this time, moved his squinting eyes away from the direction where the boss's daughter disappeared, and put on a With an awesome expression on his face, he glared at the boss's son-in-law and said, "Do you know who the uncle is?"
"Can you not know this?" The boss's son-in-law really knew him, so he replied immediately, "How many of us are here?" Who doesn’t know you, Mr. Ma?”
In fact, it’s not just the boss’s son-in-law who knows him. Everyone in the house knows him except Sun Yixie.
This Ma Er, in the past two or three months, has quickly become a famous ruffian in the nearby area and even half of the capital.
What, you ask what he was doing three months ago?
He didn’t come to the capital three months ago, so naturally he was making trouble in his hometown.
Some people may wonder when they see this. Is the gangster scene in a place like Beijing a place where someone who has just arrived for three months can rise to the top?
Of course not. Unless that person has power and backing.
Ma Er naturally has a backer, and his biggest backer is his eldest brother Ma Xuansheng.
Although Ma Xuansheng and Ma Er were born to the same mother, they are not good people, but their personalities and talents are quite different. Ma Xuansheng was very smart since he was a child, and he studied as a teenager. He is successful, ambitious and scheming, and his "badness" is the kind of treacherous evil that usually only appears in politicians. In fact, Ma Er's real name is not Ma Er, but Ma Xuanyu. But he has been such a bastard since he was a child that even his family members don't call him by his real name. He is the kind of born bastard who is greedy for money, lustful, cunning and cruel. He is just lazy and bullies others all day long.
Originally, the two brothers' families were only local tycoons, and their power was only average, far less than the Sun family's influence in Hangzhou. However, they did not expect that Ma Xuansheng was in high school a few years ago. He became the number one scholar and entered the court as an official, and was soon favored by the young master Han Yu, the prince of the dynasty, and became one of Han Yu's disciples.
Because Ma Xuansheng's ability was really good and he was highly appreciated by Han Yu, he was soon regarded as a key training target by Han Yu.
It can be basically believed that when the prince ascends the throne a few years later and Han Yu becomes a powerful official, Ma Xuansheng is likely to be promoted to occupy a position at the level of minister, as Han Yu's important person in the court wing.
In order to make Ma Xuansheng's career smoother in the future, Han Yu also colluded with the eunuchs in the court to select Ma Xuansheng as his consort.
Yes, everyone should understand after seeing this, he is the consort that Princess Zhu Qingzhen will marry soon
To sum up, with Ma Xuansheng’s rapid rise to prominence, The Ma family also came to the capital. They settled down three months ago. Now they are waiting for the auspicious day next month to officially marry the princess.
As for Ma Er, the only biological brother of the future prince-in-law, he has been having a great time in the gangster circles in the capital in the past three months.
Just nearbyIn Pian'er, it was common for small businessmen, vendors, and decent women to be harassed by him, but ordinary people, who could afford to offend him, so people on the street stayed away when they saw him.
At this moment, Ma Er accidentally saw the pretty female workers in this restaurant, so he immediately became malicious and started to look for trouble when he entered.
The shop owner’s son-in-law also knew that he couldn’t offend this kind of person, so he could only try to send these plague gods away with a smile on his face, but it was not that easy
“Know me How dare you talk to me like that?" Ma Er ignored the boss's son-in-law at all, pushed him aside, took a step forward, and shouted at the tables of people eating in the store, "You've all finished eating, do you want two? I will feed you myself."
As soon as these words came out, who dared to sit there and continue eating? If you don't want to be beaten, just leave quickly.
So, in the blink of an eye, all the guests at those tables got up, dropped their money at the counter and ran away.
Ma Er and his seven gangster brothers immediately stepped forward with smiles, squatting, sitting, and falling to the ground to occupy two tables.
"Why are you waiting here to greet me? Do you want me to treat you?" Ma Er said to the boss's son-in-law as soon as he sat down.
The boss's son-in-law took a look and knew that today was a difficult time, but it was easy to get through it. He could only go up and clean up the leftovers on the table while saying hello with a stiff smile. He said, "Yes, Master Er, if you want to have something to eat, you can call me whatever you want." If it's normal, you can become a hook when you go to him. "Okay, this is what you said." He paused, smiled lewdly at the acquaintance of his friends around him, and then said, "Master, I want beef ears boiled in wine, cut for free." Lamb's knee, steamed goose palms, and lily-smoked fish"
He didn't even need to finish his words before the boss's son-in-law knew it was bad.
Not only ordinary people, but also wealthy people can eat these dishes every day. Even if Boss Chen really knows how to cook them, it is impossible for a home-style restaurant like them to have enough ingredients.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we have a small business here, these are just dishes." After a few seconds, the boss's son-in-law listened patiently to what the other party had to say, and then began to apologize.
"What?" Ma Er didn't even wait for him to say those two words before he raised his voice and said, "Do you want to say yes?"
Pa
< p>Ma Er immediately slapped the table, "Hey, boy, you asked me to call you this casually. Now that I have said such a long list, you just dismissed it without saying a word."As he said , Ma Er grabbed the boss's son-in-law by the collar, pulled his face closer, stared at him fiercely and said, "Are you deliberately playing tricks on me? I think you don't want to do this business anymore."
"Stop it." At this moment, the shop owner, that is, "Chen Dashao" couldn't help but come out of the back kitchen with a kitchen knife. His daughter followed him, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. Holding a rolling pin, she looked at her husband with concern.
"What the hell?You are a bright guy, right?" Ma Er is not afraid of them. How can a gangster be afraid of good people? "In broad daylight, I just come in and order a dish, and you are a bright guy and want to kill people. Is there any law? Are you afraid that it is not a black shop? "Okay." As he said that, he looked at the boss's son-in-law who was being dragged by him, and then looked at the boss, "Old man, if you act like this, you are not afraid that the government will kill all the men in your family, leaving orphans and widows behind." Are you being bullied?"
What Ma Er said was a clear threat, making it clear that even if he didn't take action, he would have a backer who could destroy the other party's family.
"You" were The other party threatened like this, and cold sweat started to fall on Chen Dashao's forehead. Not to mention that he only had a kitchen knife today, and 80% of the time he wouldn't be able to defeat such a group of people. Even if he could drive these people away, what awaits them next? What will it be?"
"What do you want?" After a breath, Boss Chen's tone became slightly darker and he asked through gritted teeth.
"Well, let's talk." Ma Er let go of the boss's son-in-law at this time, pushed him away, and then pointed at the boss's daughter who was hiding behind her father, "Let the little lady come here first. "Let's have a few drinks with my brothers. Maybe when my anger subsides, I won't embarrass you anymore."
Before he finished speaking, the gangsters around him were already looking at me one by one. They all focused on the boss's daughter, and they all showed lewd smiles.
"Dad, I'm not going." The boss's daughter looked frightened and aggrieved at that time, and hid a little further.
Both Lao Chen and his son-in-law had angry faces, but they didn't know how to solve the situation in front of them.
At this moment, a figure sitting in the corner moved. ,,
