Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 25 Mr. Bai shirks the blame (Additional update for Christmas)

Don't look at how much clothes Bai Ye is wearing, but he moves lightly.I saw him stepping forward and twisting his waist, he dodged the blade in two or three times, turned around and mocked: "I said Scarface Tiger, you have been chasing me for a year, why don't you give up?"

The scar-faced tiger was the scar-faced man in the lobby just now. When he heard this, he was so angry that he gasped: "Stop talking nonsense! If you Bai Shanying hadn't occupied my territory in Xianglu Mountain, how could I, the majestic head of Xianglu Mountain, have done anything? Don’t even have a place to stay? If I don’t take your life, Scarface Tiger can’t survive in the world anymore! Don’t run away!”

This yell amused Bai Shanying: "This happened a year ago, and you still have the nerve to say it? Don't say that I took over your Xianglushan nest, even most of the gangsters you accepted were also taken over by me." I accept the editor, and I advise you to go up the mountain with me if you are sensible, kowtow to join the group, and call me a master, and let's make a fortune together, how about it?"

The scarred tiger's face was livid with anger: "Bah! You shameless villain, I want you to be the head of the family, in the next life!"

After all, the dagger in his hand took a strong wind to Bai Shanying's face, such a fierce move was easily deflected by Bai Shanying, and the anger on Scarface Tiger's face was even stronger.

"My martial arts are superior to yours, and I still have a Western musket in my hand for protection. I believe you will know how powerful this thing is. If you are not respectful, you are a man, and you died in my Baishan with a scarred face. How many times have you been in the hands of the eagle. Hurry up and stop thinking about killing me, and join the group early, if you annoy me one day, you will be considered light if you get shot."

Bai Shanying took out a musket out of nowhere, inserted his index finger into the trigger circle, and was really playing with the gun there.

Few people are not afraid of muskets, and even Scarface Tiger froze on the spot, not moving.

Seeing this, Xue Pingping was relieved.Bandits fighting with each other is no joke, the Baishanying and the Scarfaced Tiger are both famous heroes on the ground, wouldn't it be messed up if they fought?
Especially the shopkeeper, who was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. Seeing that the Baishanying had an absolute advantage, and the scarred tiger didn't move. His small shop was also saved from damage. The shopkeeper who knew the enmity between the two of them hastened Qian Qian smiled and played while drumming: "That's right, both of you are heroes on the green forest road. As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, why do you two fight when you meet each other? Sit down quickly, and talk about what you have to say. Speak well. Then what, buddy, quickly serve some gentlemen some tea."

The scarred tiger said in a low voice: "I don't want some tea, serve me some wine!"

Although he spoke harshly, he sat down obediently.In fact, Scarface Tiger already knew in his heart that it was impossible to kill Bai Shanying.But he is also considered a respectable figure in the world, and there are some things that need to be explained.

Seeing that he sat down, Bai Shanying slapped the musket on the table, and called Xue Ping, "Come on, Chief Ping also came and sat down. The sons and daughters of the Jianghu are informal, and the two of us talked loudly just now. Scared you? I will personally pour tea for you to make amends, sit down quickly!"

Xue Ping said he didn't dare to greet Bai Shanying, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit at the same table with the two of them, thinking that you are a fool!The two of you were fighting to your death with knives and guns just now, do you call that "talking"?What was it like when you "argued"?

After a while, big fish, big meat, tea, wine and snacks, the ones who are particular or not, are on the table.Bai Shanying and Xue Ping are quite gentle, but this scarred tiger is a rough man with a big intestine, and he has endured a long period of hard life, so he is not happy when he sees delicious food Make a meal?
There is no need for chopsticks anymore, I use all my hands, shake off my cheeks and eat a round belly.When he hiccupped and stopped, Bai Shanying and Xue Ping hadn't moved their chopsticks yet.

Seeing him like this, Bai Shanying smiled: "Brother, how long have you been hungry? How about you, don't you think about going up the mountain to live a good life?"

The scar-faced tiger snorted coldly: "I admit that my skills are inferior to others, but let me ask you, didn't your hairy family come from the Paektu Mountain area? Can't you live there? Why don't you run away? What are we doing here in Fengtian? You even took my land and occupied my hilltop! We can follow the rules in this industry, and we don’t offend the river. You are unethical!"

Bai Shanying knew that Lengzhong would ask him for an explanation, so he raised his hand and pointed at Xue Ping: "You have to ask him about this matter."

Xue Ping's eyes widened: "How come I have something to do with this? It's not the Xianglu Mountain I asked you to occupy!"

Bai Shanying smiled and said, "Tell me why I came to Fengtian from Mount Paektu. It was your master who made it happen. If he is not around, you can explain it to me. This kid will annoy me to death if he doesn't hear the truth."

Xue Ping complained in his heart. If he had known that the bandit's table was not so easy to sit on, he should not have sat down.No, he shouldn't show his identity by showing the white eagle down and jade buckle given by Bai Shanying. Sir, you have tricked me to death...

In fact, this matter dates back to the last time Xue Yi personally led a caravan deep into the hinterland of the northeast mountains and forests a few years ago.

The Black Land is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, and all the goods produced here are cherished by the nobles of the Qing Dynasty.Among them, the good goods are shipped from the northeast to the capital for sale, and the price can be doubled several times.

In the Northeast region, goods from the South are also scarce. The silk, tea and porcelain shipped here can be sold at a good price.

It is true that the south and the north are valuable, and the prices in the north and south are high.How could a businessman like the Xue family let go of such a good business opportunity?

However, the real good things on the black land were either embezzled by local officials or sent directly to the palace as tributes, except for those that fell into the houses of a few corrupt officials. Doing business is really not an easy thing.

In the early years when Mr. Xue was there, he sent a caravan to the north, but either he couldn't stand the extremely cold natural environment, or he was scared by the bandits' insatiable appetite and went back the same way, but he didn't make a deal.

Since Xue Yi inherited the title of Imperial Merchant, he has always been concerned about the merchants going north, combined with the experience of his predecessors, and made sufficient preparations, he personally led the caravan to go north.

Unexpectedly, the caravan encountered the same problem at the beginning.Although they know how to wear heavy clothes, they don’t know how to apply wax to their bare skin to keep out the cold. They also don’t know that ordinary horses can’t adapt to the cold in high cold areas, so they need to ride local thick-haired horses, or directly ride roe deer or deer. This kind of big animal with thick and docile fur.

So at the beginning, Xue Yi's caravan really suffered a bit.

After they overcame the high and cold weather, they began to fight the local bandits again.

The bandits really couldn't fill their appetites. Taking advantage of the warm weather, Xue Yi made several purchases from the south to the northeast, but they were all looted by different groups of local bandits.They don't listen to what you say about trade or not. They are used to domineering in their own territory. Who cares what you say, a southern barbarian. They only see valuable goods in their eyes and don't care about anything else. .

Later, when those bandits saw that the Xue family had rare goods to live in, they even tied Xue Yi away. If he hadn't revealed his identity as an imperial merchant, and he was also an important person in the Fengtian Mansion at the time, the bandits had no choice but to do so under the pressure of the government. Let him go, otherwise Xue Yi's life would be in the Northeast, and all these stories would not have happened.

Xue Yi, who came out of the bandit's den, was discouraged, thinking that it's no wonder his father didn't promote the trade between the north and the south. Although we have the status of imperial merchants and the sincerity of doing business with others, we can't stand the bandits' unreasonable, greedy and violent.

Hey, let’s not talk about trade or not, let’s go back first.You will never make enough money in this life, the most important thing is to save your life.

On this day, Xue Yi packed up his few belongings and was checking out with the innkeeper. Suddenly he saw NO. 30 people running around on the street, heading straight for the medical clinic on this street.He didn't pay attention at first, but after looking at it, he went back to his own business. Unexpectedly, after a while, this group of people actually started to have a big fight with the people from the medical center, and some of the people in the crowd started beating them fiercely. After arriving at the hospital, Xue Yi and his servants went out to watch the excitement.

It turned out that Bai Shanying brought a woman to the hospital to see a doctor. The people in the hospital said that there was no cure, so the gangsters he took in made a fuss.

Although this Bai Shanying is not a bandit near Fengtian City, his name has long been known. It is said that there must be supernatural powers in life, and this Bai Ye is like that.

Ordinary people are afraid of bandits, but the common people are not afraid of the name of Baishanying. They are afraid of rich businessmen, corrupt officials, rich men, wealthy gentry, especially those who are rich and unkind.

It is said that he occupies the mountain as king and often robs the rich and helps the poor. He can be regarded as a rare good man among bandits.

In those days, there were many people who lacked clothes and clothes. Although they did not starve to death everywhere, dead bodies were very common, especially in the icy and snowy Northeast.

Every year at the beginning of spring, the biggest challenge in the yamen of major cities and towns is the collection of lying bodies, which are corpses that have died for unknown reasons and have not been claimed.The government hired some people to pull these corpses in a large cart, rolled them up with tattered mats and buried them on the mass graves, and it was considered as the funeral of those dead.

The imperial court probably paid this fee for the sake of the city's appearance, but in those days, it was hard to survive. Don't look at such an unlucky job as lying down, many people wanted to do it desperately.

Because the silver tael given by the imperial court is a tael of a dead body, how expensive can a tattered mat be?The rest of the money is left to the ignorant of these jobs, earning more than ordinary jobs.

As for places farther away from the city, the yamen can't control them. If you meet a kind person, you can collect a corpse. If you are unlucky, wherever the person falls, there will be a graveyard.

This is the case everywhere in the Northeast, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

　Christmas, here is the second update, I wish you all a Merry Christmas! (*^__^*) Hee hee...
