Famous all over the world

Following Yang Can's vague memory, the two struggled a bit, and finally found a village hidden at the foot of the mountain.This village has the same name as the mountain, both of which are called Niu Tau. The villagers are very enthusiastic, and they also have some sincerity and honesty of a cow in their personality. They not only entertained them for dinner, but also enthusiastically pointed out the fastest way to go to Zhuzhou when they heard that they were going to Zhuzhou.

After filling their stomachs, the two started on their way again, following the directions pointed out by the villagers on the main road, resting at night and walking day and night, stopping to eat when the time came, and inquiring about recent big and small things by the way.

Nowadays, what people talk about most is what Hua Lianyue did in the capital. Qin Caisang only found out after hearing about it. It turned out that the flower hall master not only offended that precious little general, but even burned the capital. There is a famous brothel here, and they kidnapped their prostitutes.The backstage of the brothel seems to be hard, it seems that many officials are secretly connected, this is a hornet's nest, people from all walks of life are putting pressure on them openly and secretly, Stone Sect has now become the target of public criticism, especially Hua Lianyue, even more The court's thorn in the flesh.

She dared to do such a thing, I'm afraid there is no way out, I don't know if Lian Yunsheng wants to abandon the car to protect the commander, or simply confront the court.But he has offended a lot of people over the years, and even if he is so vile, he will never end well.

However, the imperial court of Daxing is really very corrupt, officials are prostitutes, and the emperor's relatives coerce private interests. They can't complain that even Mobei has been unfair all these years.

But these have nothing to do with her, it's just that she thought that the incident in Luoyang should have already started, but she didn't hear any news along the way, maybe it was because the news hadn't caught up with their pace, or maybe Dugu didn't know what to do. Night visits are a top secret.

Qin Caisang didn't say anything, but after thinking about it in private, she felt that it was not appropriate.If Jiuyou already knew about the villa, she should have informed the other gangs long ago. It would be a waste of effort for her to go this far; You people will release the news at an appointed time, and it was a waste of effort for her to go this far; what's more, when Lian Yunsheng found out that she and Yang Can were missing, Dugucuo broke in, and Hua Lianyue was disturbing, No matter how you think about it, Luoyang City shouldn't be a place to stay for a long time, it should be when you slip away early in the morning.Thinking about it this way, it seems that she has made such a trip, no matter what, it is a waste of effort.

Unless Dugu Cuo didn't keep anyone outside at all, and Lian Yunsheng was too confident, the latter would not be surprising, while the former... Dugu Cuo was a young master after all, so he wouldn't be so reckless in his actions?

Forget it, anyway, the road is already half way, and it is useless to go back, if it is really unnecessary, then treat her as a tour, and make more friends along the way.

Thinking this way, Qin Caisang originally wanted to send Yang Can away, but on second thought, he was afraid that he would go back to Luoyang if he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't say hello to him, and just hurried on his way.

At noon that day, the two finally arrived outside Zhuzhou City, and they found a restaurant to rest, ordered food, and asked Xiao Er where the main altar of the Beggar Clan was.

I thought it was not a difficult task, but the little boy was stunned for a long time before he said with a smile: "The two guest officials are joking, we Zhuzhou have some old men who are not fake, but the villain does business here all the year round, traveling from south to north I have heard a lot about it, but I have never heard of the general altar of the Beggar Clan, and there is no such saying in Jianghu, the two guest officials are probably looking for the wrong place." After speaking, she looked different, and it happened that the guests over there I was shouting, so I said sorry, and rushed to another table to serve.

Qin Caisang felt mixed feelings in her heart, stared at Yang Can, tried to keep calm and asked, "What's going on?"

"Impossible, this is the main altar of the Beggar Gang. That's right. He must have lied on purpose because he saw us as foreigners. Maybe..." Yang Can was a little impatient, "Maybe it's the members of the Stone Sect..." He said I have to get up and find the little girl, and make a serious distinction.

Well, he dared to think.Qin Caisang almost laughed when he heard that, stopped him and said: "My ancestors have lived here for generations, what reason do you have to lie with you? Are you still in the same party? Lian Yunsheng's hand is really long, so why not simply Just take you back and gouge out your heart and prescribe medicine?"

Yang Can still glanced at the waiter in the shop, "That's impossible..."

Qin Caisang sighed, "Think about it again, who told you that the headquarter of the Beggar Gang is in Zhuzhou?"

"A lot of people say that, I remember it clearly, it's Zhuzhou..." As he spoke, Yang Can's expression gradually changed, "Huh? It seems... wait... that's right, before I seem to have heard someone say that before Hou Zhongyi was the leader of the Beggar Clan, he used to forge irons here, but it seems that it is not that the head of the Beggar Clan is in Zhuzhou, maybe I misremembered..."

Qin Caisang stared at him, while slowly wiping the chopsticks in his hand, "Yes, that's the way it is, and I can't blame you, the beggar gang has no fixed place, where the gang leader is, the main altar is there." where?"

Yang Can nodded and said, "That's right!"

Kacha——Qin Caisang folded the pair of chopsticks into two without paying attention. She only smiled at the stunned Yang Can, and then raised her voice to call Xiaoer over, asking for another pair of chopsticks.

Yang Can was startled, and then he seemed to understand, and said cautiously: "Miss Qin, since the main altar is not here, why don't we go north to Songyang? Or go to Jinling..."

Qin Caisang smiled and said, "Why bother to look far away? Maybe Lord Hou and his old man happen to be in Zhuzhou?"

Although Yang Can was reckless, he could hear the sarcasm in her words at this moment, but he always felt that it was unnecessary to admit that it was his fault. It happened that the shop waiter came to give the chopsticks, and after listening to a few words, suddenly He opened his mouth and said, "Are the two guest officials looking for Old Master Hou?"

Qin Caisang glanced at him, "Yes."

Yang Can's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Do you know the whereabouts of the old man?"

The shop clerk shook his head, "How can people like us know the whereabouts of Mr. Hou and his old man? But the two of you may try your luck with Mr. Xiao."

Yang Can had already lowered his face, but when he heard that there seemed to be a turning point in his words, he had some hope again, "Xiao Xiaoyuanwai?"

The waiter in the shop nodded, "Yes, Xiao Yuanwai is..." Just halfway through, a guest suddenly called him, he answered, nodded apologetically to the two, and hurried over.

The two finally got such a few clues, so naturally they have no reason to give up easily.After dinner, seeing that the store was not so busy, Qin Caisang only asked Yang Can to ask the waiter again, and only then did he realize that Xiao Yuanwai was also a strange person.

This young man's surname is Xiao and his name is Tianliang, and he was originally from one of the most wealthy families in the city.It is well known in the world that the colors produced in Zhuzhou are the best. The Xiao family originally specialized in the pigment business. The famous indigo, ocher and other colors are all produced in his workshop. The color is the longest, the newest and the brightest, and relying on this skill, the ancestors of the Xiao family have saved a lot of property.But when the old Yuanwai and his wife are all gone, the little Yuanwai became the family, and for some reason, he put away his wealth, sold out the workshop, and gave away the secret recipe. Smiling, it looks like he's going crazy.

At that time, everyone thought that he wanted to imitate others and flee to Buddhism, but he turned out to be a beggar with all his heart. When he met a ragged person on the street, he called him brother and cried for a while, and then invited him home to treat him well.He is not under the control of other elders, he only hangs out with these beggars all day long, he used to be a handsome young man, but now he looks like a sloppy man who got out of the mud, and Xiao's house was originally a good house, in the past two years They all turned into marinating places, and the residents in the north of the city couldn't stand him, so they moved out one after another.

Xiao Yuanwai just muddled along like this, but he also had some luck, once picking up people on the street, he accidentally picked up an elder of the beggar gang and went back.The elder was hunted down here by the enemy, he took him in and survived, and became an unreliable friend from then on. Later, through his introduction, Xiao Xiaoyuan met the old gang leader Hou again.Later, he did a few miracles and made great contributions to the beggar gang. The old gang leader Hou thought that he was a fellow from the same town, and he was young and promising, so he made an exception and accepted him as an apprentice. Now he is the youngest member of the beggar gang. an elder.

In the end, the waiter in the shop said that Xiao Xiao was very appreciated by the old gang leader Hou, and the old gang leader did often come to Zhuzhou for a short stay these years. If you want to meet the old gang leader Hou, maybe you can go to him to try your luck.

When Qin Caisang heard the words, he couldn't help feeling happy and worried.

The happy thing is that they don't have to meet the old gang leader Hou, Xiao Xiaoyuan has enough weight in the beggar gang; the sad thing is the pickling place in the waiter's mouth, she forgot before coming, the beggar There is also such a bad thing about the gang. It is true that it is 360 lines and the number one in every line, but surrounded by a group of unkempt Hanako... She couldn't help shivering immediately.

Yang Can didn't see her worries, and said to her happily: "Miss Qin, this is a good time, it's not too late, let's go now."

Qin Caisang glanced at him, but felt that he could not be asked to go alone after all, so he just stretched out his head and nodded, and asked Xiao Er about Xiao Zhai's way of walking, and then set off to go.

But no matter how firm her determination was, when she saw the house in sight, she still couldn't help pinching her nose, and couldn't help slowing down her steps.

Yang Can kept looking back at her, hesitated to speak several times, and finally couldn't help saying: "Miss Qin, or I'll go there by myself, you just wait here for me."

Qin Caisang glanced at him, saw the disapproval and impatience in his expression, really wished to teach him a lesson, but if he refuses to talk now, wouldn't he be underestimated by him?The Buddha said that if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell will go to hell, just this one time, nothing will happen.

I want to return to thinking, but my feet are still rooted.

Seeing that she was not moving or making a sound, Yang Can said again: "Actually, it's really tasteless..."

Qin Caisang gave him a suspicious look, put down his hands, and took a tentative breath, only to feel that there was no strange smell, and then strode away.

The house looks splendid from a distance, but it feels desolate when you get close, with overgrown weeds and cracks, the stone lion on the left has a broken front paw, and there are countless wine piles in the open space in front of the door. There is no one on the altar.

Qin Caisang asked Yang Can to shout, but seeing no one answered, he tied the broom star to the door, went around the empty altar on the ground, entered the door, called Yang Can again, but still no one was there. He responded, but he could vaguely hear laughter inside, so he signaled Yang Can to continue walking in.

This Xiao's house is really big, and after entering the second courtyard, he didn't see a single person, only wine bottles and wooden sticks thrown all over the floor.However, the laughter was getting closer and closer. After turning through an arched door, the two of them saw a courtyard full of beggars, either lying or sitting, some with broken bowls in front of them, and lowering their heads to pick up rice with their hands; others were raising their heads. Drinking, laughing madly; there is a group of people around, applauding for some reason, most of the beggars didn't notice that they came in, a few of them noticed, and just ignored them a glance.

Qin Caisang only thought that this was a grand gathering of the beggar gang, but what was surprising was that there were two cleanly dressed young men sitting side by side behind a wooden table.

These two people are not very old, wearing the same blue cloth robes, and their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar. The one sitting on the right seems to be aware of someone coming in, and said something to the one on the left. The two looked over together, and the one on the left That one also smiled at her.

Qin Caisang was really not in the mood to smile, so he just nodded to them, looked away, took a step back silently, turned to Yang Can and said, "I'll trouble you to ask who is Xiao Yuanwai. "

Yang Can snorted, looked around at the beggars in the yard, picked one who was finishing his drink and staring at him with empty eyes, strode over and said a few words to him.

Qin Caisang saw the beggar suddenly slap the wine jar, and shouted: "Elder Xiao, someone is looking for you!"

The voice was not only hoarse and hoarse, but also harsh, like a creaking old broken bellows, which made her frown, and almost wanted to cover her ears with her hands, but before she could recover, there was an even hoarse and harsh voice. The voice rang out: "Looking for me? Who is looking for me?"

Qin Caisang followed the prestige, but only saw a mass of black heads, and sighed unconsciously, "I also invite Elder Xiao to come out and explain, Qin has something important to tell."

"Eh? It's a little lady!" I don't know who yelled this sentence, and the beggars started talking nonsense, Qin Caisang almost couldn't hold back, and when he was about to make a move, Elder Xiao pulled away again. With a curse in his throat, get out, the crowd suddenly backed away, and a person standing in the middle flashed out.

The man had disheveled hair and was covered in rags. He didn't look like a young and promising employee in the shop. At this time, he was holding a chicken upside down. It had obviously been killed just now, and it was still dripping blood. , fell into the basin that was almost full.A pair of eyes were black and bright, he glanced around, finally settled on her, and then grinned, "Is it you, girl?"

Qin Caisang cleared her throat and was about to speak, but she didn't expect that Yang Can on the other side suddenly yelled for some reason and fell on his back.
