Chapter 27 Betting

Kushui Well, Taiping Street.

If there are slums in Xicheng, where rich and powerful are everywhere, then the area around Kushuijing is the one.

The people who originally lived here were the group of meritorious soldiers who followed the emperor Taizu to fight the country. Although they were disabled, they did not lose their lives.

When the country was founded, there were not many such people.

Emperor Taizu Gao thought of his meritorious service, and specially marked out a street here, and named it Taiping Street with the imperial pen, implying that the world will be peaceful from this street.

It's just a group of disabled old soldiers, even if they get some rewards, after marrying a wife and having children, it will take a few years to spend them all, so how can they enjoy peace?

Emperor Taizu was fine when he was there, and he often allocated some food, rice and silver money to help him. After Emperor Taizu passed away, and when Emperor Shizu arrived, the affection also faded.

The ancestors had their own team of honorable ministers, even among the sons of the four kings and eight princes who founded the country, only a few talented ones were used, such as Jia Daishan, the second generation Rongguo Duke.

The rest were gradually marginalized and thus took over military power.

Even the founder of the country is like this, so naturally there is no need to mention Taiping Street.

After more than a hundred years, Kushuijing has become the poorest place in the entire West City.

But when it comes to the roots here, it's hard and a bit thorny.

Waiting for the rich and powerful to come here to enclose the land, they still can't afford it...

Because the people here can not only get involved with many princes and noble houses, even if they come up with one or two treasures bestowed by the Emperor Taizu, it is not impossible.

Therefore, other officials are unwilling to provoke this group of hob meat.

But what if no one is easy to mess with?

Only relying on the economy to make a living, the eight empresses of Qiuba on Taiping Street could not make a lot of money, and most of the land outside the city was sold out by their ancestors.

Therefore, there is no way for the white way to go, and the only way is to go the black way, but I don't know when, someone put up the signboard of the Jinsha Gang here.

Relying on bravery and fighting spirit, as well as a little foothold from the ancestors, the Jinsha gang actually managed to occupy a large piece of territory in a corner of the west city.

All door shop vendors who do business on their sites, especially casinos, taverns, tea houses, and theaters, must give them a share of Taiping silver.

Unfortunately, Xiangzhu Street near Qingta Temple is exactly within its sphere of influence.

Jia Qiang didn't know there was this temple, so she broke the family's rules and was beaten at the door.

If the Jinsha gang didn't have a big mouth, and it would cost three or five taels of silver a month, he would admit it.

There is always black and white in this world. In business, the most important thing is to make money in harmony, and a few taels of silver are the right to do good deeds.

But with the Sands Gang having such a big appetite, Jia Qiang couldn't get used to their problems.

Now he has Jia Yun, a descendant of Rongguo, and Iron Bull, who is as terrifying as a black fur monster, in his hand, which is enough to gather a deck of cards for negotiation.

So instead of waiting for them to call at your door, you should turn your back on the customer and come to your door proactively.

Obviously, this behavior also greatly exceeded the expectations of the Sands Gang.

When Jia Qiang brought Jia Yun, Tie Niu, Tie Tou, and Zhu Zi to a dilapidated mansion, Jia Qiang looked back at Tie Tou and said in surprise, "It's here?"

Tietou nodded and said: "It's right here. Although the Jinsha gang is rampant and plunders money, they have a lot of people to take care of. With so many mouths, it's good to be able to survive. They don't have much money to take care of the house."

Jia Qiang had more understanding in her heart, but at this moment, the whereabouts of the five people were also discovered by the gang members in front of the Jinsha Gang.

With a shout of "what are you doing", in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen young men poured out from the gate.

When the first person saw Tie Niu's body, he immediately felt that a dozen or so were not safe, and immediately sent someone inside to ask for help.

Jia Qiang and his party were surrounded by people, and they were a little panicked, because they knew in their hearts that Tieniu was just a showman.

At this moment, his face is sullen and he is panting heavily, not because he wants to attack, but because this turtle is really scared...

Jia Qiang patted Tieniu on the shoulder lightly, smiled at him, and let Jia Yun talk to the gatekeepers of the Jinsha Gang first.

Not long after, there was movement inside, and there was a rumble of footsteps. First, about twenty shirtless young men rushed out, and then four or five middle-aged men in gray shorts surrounded a man in a long coat. The gray-haired man went out, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Who has the guts to run to my Jinsha Gang to make trouble?"

The first thing I saw was still an iron bull like a black bear spirit.

In the era of cold weapons, a tall man over 2 meters tall and as strong as a rhinoceros is no less deterrent than the B[-] bombers of later generations.

If such a big man wears armor and wields a big axe, it is almost a symbol of invincibility.

Even without a hard armor and a big axe, holding an iron rod in his hand is enough to sweep three streets, and the Jinsha Gang can't help but ignore it.

"Here, Jia Qiang has a business under his name at the Qingta Temple. Today I learned that your gang is going to set the rules, so I came here to see how to make the rules."

Jia Qiang's voice was clear and powerful. Although her face was like a crown of jade, she was not as weak and bookish as usual. In Danfeng's eyes, her eyes were sharp and bright, with a sense of vigor.

The grey-haired man surrounded by the gang frowned after hearing a few whispers from the people around him, and asked, "Are you from the Jia family on Rongning Street?"

Jia Qiang snorted, and said: "The ancestor of the family is indeed Ning Guogong, but today we only talk about Jianghu affairs, how can the family background overwhelm others? Moreover, based on the foundation of the Jinsha Gang, it seems that there is still a relationship with the Rongning and Ninggong. Fighting against the ancestors, I am afraid that the ancestors will be ashamed."

The gray-haired old man heard the words, sneered, and said: "You can talk, but what you said is correct, fighting the ancestors is nothing, we are not afraid..." After a pause, he continued: " Although you are not very old, you are still a person. Well, I can make the decision now, let you go this time, and the [-]% of the Taiping silver will not be collected. However, you also said, little brother, in terms of origin, we It’s still a family. It’s a pity that the meat skewer stall is only yours. The old man decides to give you the area on Xiangzhu Street, but you have to tell me the seasoning recipe. Our Jinsha gang also wants to grill some lamb skewers Come and taste it yourself, how about it?"

This one is even more ruthless, don't want [-]% of the silver, just dig the roots.

Jia Yun and the others changed their expressions one after another when they heard the words, but Jia Qiang only smiled lightly and asked, "I don't know what is the status of the old man in your gang? Can you count your words?"

The old man laughed, and said loudly: "This old man is Qian Fu, the vice-leader of the Jinsha Gang. Now the chief is ill, little brother, tell me, can the old man count what he says?"

With a flamboyant and unrestrained appearance, Jia Qiang felt rebellious at first sight.

He shook his head and said, "Is the deputy gang leader bullying me when I was young? Or do you think I'm easy to bully?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Qian Fu sneered and said, "Just relying on a tall, stupid ram, do you think you can rely on it?"

Jia Qiang chuckled lightly and said, "Well, I'll make a bet with you."

Qian Fu sneered, "What bet?"

The smile on Jia Qiang's face gradually faded, and she pointed at Tie Niu and said, "I bet this brother of mine can go to your Sands Gang alone, at least 20 people are seriously injured, and 30 people are slightly injured. It’s not impossible to kill a few people on the spot. And I’d rather not do business on Xiangzhu Street, go back to Rongning Back Street to study, and you won’t get a prescription either. Do you dare to bet?”

Qian Fu was furious when he heard the words, and said sharply: "Huang Maozhu, you dare to threaten me? Believe it or not, the old man will keep you from getting out of my Sands Gang tonight!"
