At that time, in a restaurant in Qingfeng County, Liu Yu sat in front of the square wooden table in the corner of the downstairs lobby. On the table were several exquisite dishes and a small pot of old wine. After a busy night last night, it was daybreak after leaving Shifeng mountain. Liu Yu was a little tired, so he ate in Qingfeng County.
With a bang, the drunk middle-aged member walked down the stairs and fell to the ground. The waiter of the restaurant hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and shouted, "member Xuan, are you okay!"
"Go!" the publicist suddenly pushed the waiter and walked towards the door.
"Who is this man? He's drunk in the morning! It's humiliating to be gentle!" at the other table next to Liu Yu, there are scholars wearing square scarves and cross collars. The younger of them said with disgust at this scene.
"Cai Di doesn't know this famous publicist?" another old scholar shook his head and said with a smile.
"How did you know brother Li?" the young scholar asked curiously.
"XuanZhen, the prodigy who won the first place in the county test this year, is his son." the old scholar replied with a smile.
"Oh! XuanZhen won the first place in the county examination when she was only 12 years old. Wang really admired her quick thinking. The County Education said that this son has a bright future. He will be a scholar in the backyard examination in five years. Why is his father so depressed?" the young scholar asked in confusion.
"Speaking of this famous propagandist, I have to say that more than 20 years ago, there were thousands of acres of fertile fields and flourishing shops in the Xuanfu, the most famous family in the county. But I don't know who I offended. It was almost destroyed overnight. Nearly 100 people in the whole family were almost spared."
"This xuanwai was originally the youngest young master in Xuanfu. He was idle all day. He stayed in the brothel that night. He narrowly escaped the disaster and inherited the great family business of Xuanfu." the old scholar said strangely.
"I've heard of this, younger brother. I didn't expect that this person was the propaganda member. What happened later!" the young scholar was curious.
"The preacher is lazy and extravagant outside. Naturally, he can't keep such a big family business. In recent years, Liangtian Wangpu in the mansion has been defeated by him one after another. Recently, I heard that he also provoked the" giant elephant Gang "and came to the restaurant to get drunk early in the morning. It seems that it's true." the old scholar sighed and continued.
"How can I get into the" giant elephant Gang "murderers who are full of evil without blinking their eyes." the young scholar turned pale and dared not say anything.
"Who knows! In short, I heard that Xuan Yuan borrowed 1000 liang of silver from the" giant elephant Gang ". Now the profits have reached 8000 Liang, which is not enough. The" giant elephant Gang "is going to accept the ancestral house rebuilt by the Xuan family." the old scholar said reluctantly.
"The newly-built house in Xuanfu is very imposing. With the wide house site, it is worth a lot of silver. If you sell the house, why can't you return it?" the young scholar said puzzled.
"That said, I heard that the" giant elephant Gang "has said that anyone who dares to buy this house will have a hard time with the" giant elephant Gang ". The leader of the" giant elephant Gang "and the Chief Constable of the county are sworn brothers. They have been rampant in the county all these years. No matter how cheap the house is, who dares to buy it?" the old scholar shook his head and whispered.
"Don't look for it!" Liu Yu didn't listen any more, threw down a few pieces of silver, quickly stepped out of the restaurant and followed a sedan chair in the street in the distance.
A large circle of people surrounded the front door of a large house in the south of Qingfeng County. A group of strong men with knives and sticks were constantly driving out the master and servants of the Xuan family in the house, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.
"What are you doing? Are you not afraid of the king's law for breaking into the house?" Mrs. Xuan and the young master Xuan Zhen were also pushed out of the house by this group. The young master Xuan Zhen dressed up as a little scholar blushed angrily and shouted angrily.
"Hum! Don't listen to this boy's nonsense. His father didn't pay back the money and has mortgaged the house to our" giant elephant Gang ". Even if we sue the king Lao Tzu, it's reasonable for us." the leader is a thin and tall swordsman, who is the "thin Leopard" of the three leaders of the giant elephant gang. He scolded and explained to the people around him.
"Thin leopard" personally came forward to pick up XuanZhen, the young master of Xuanfu, threw him out of the hospital a few steps, and said fiercely: "brothers, don't be polite to them, drive them all out!"“
"My son, are you all right?" Mrs. Xuan quickly picked up the fallen Xuan Zhen and said sadly.
"Mom, is what they said true?" Xuan Zhen got up and asked her mother.
"Woo! Woo!" Mrs. Xuan hung her eyes and hugged her child. She kept crying. The man who killed thousands of knives was out on weekdays. She was flirting with flowers and grass and was generous. Now she is also stained with the murderous "giant elephant Gang", and even the house has been mortgaged out.
"Isn't this thin master? What are you doing? There are five days before the deadline! Xuanmou is not raising money, how can it be so!" at this time, Xuanyuan pushed aside the crowd, walked quickly to the three gang leaders "thin leopard" and said sadly and angrily.
"Thin leopard" said indifferently, "it's not that the Lord doesn't give you face, member Xuan. You've been dragging on for months. You'll have to pay it back sooner or later. It's not bad these days. The house belongs to our giant elephant Gang today."
"How much does my father owe you?" young Xuan Zhen asked angrily.
"Thin leopard" said playfully, "yo! Young master, do you have silver? Not much, only 9000 liang of silver. If you can take it out, I" thin leopard "will take people right away."
"Didn't you say eight thousand taels of silver the day before yesterday? How did it turn into nine thousand taels of silver?" Xuan Yuanwai was stunned and said excitedly.
"Thin leopard" said fearlessly: "the day before yesterday was the day before yesterday, today is today, the interest has risen."
"This year, Xiaosheng is the first in the county. After several years of backyard test, you will be able to get a scholar. Can you give me a few years? After Xiaosheng becomes an official, you will return the money." Xuan Zhen straightened her young chest and said firmly.
"Yo! Young master, I can't wait for you," said the "thin leopard", the third leader of the giant elephant Gang, squinting, thinking that this boy can't stay, so as to avoid raising tigers when he gets it.
"You..." Xuan Zhen blushed.
"You just said you took the silver and left?" just then a young man with a jade face and extraordinary bearing walked out of the crowd and said.
"Thin leopard" squinted at the mysterious man who suddenly appeared and asked cautiously, "this brother is very strange. I don't know..."
"This is ten thousand taels of silver. I paid off the debt owed by the publicist." the mysterious man took out a silver ticket and directly interrupted the words of "thin leopard".
"Wow!" all the people watching around gave a cry of surprise. The mysterious man suddenly took ten thousand taels of silver, which was really rich. The master and servants of the Xuan family also stared. Who is this strange man? How can you help repay such a large sum of money.
"This is a private affair between our gang and the publicist. We don't bother outsiders to intervene, and we don't invite the childe to go?" the three leaders of the giant elephant Gang, thin leopard, didn't pick up the silver ticket and gave it to his left and right men.
The house behind him is worth at least 100000 liang of silver. The guild leader tried his best to set up a set. It was not easy to secure the propagandist's coat. How can he let go so easily.
"Young master, don't be fussy here! Go!" the four strong men around the thin leopard, who were armed with swords, immediately surrounded him fiercely and wanted to take the young man away.
"Get out!" when the young man said one word, the four strong men with knives flew upside down and fell on the ground, humming with pain.
"It's a friend of the Taoist priest. I wonder if you have a name? You're a stranger. You shouldn't be from this county. The leader of our gang is Jia Mu, the giant elephant floating butcher. Have you heard of it? Can you give our gang a face? I'll thank you in the future!" the thin leopard's face changed. It was a hard stubble. Just now he didn't see how he did it, and the four brothers became famous, Said with a smile on his face.
Jia Mu, the leader of the "giant elephant sect", is invulnerable to weapons with great strength. He has become one of the first-class experts. He is known as "giant elephant floating Tu" on the road and is well-known in shuoyang mansion. Thin leopard guesses that the other party must have heard of the leader's name.
"Oh! It's gang leader Jia! Since you can't be the leader, take me to see gang leader Jia. Xuanfu and I have an affair. I'll discuss it with gang leader Jia face to face!" Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Well, I'll follow you!" the other party should be afraid to hear the name of the guild leader. He can't be the leader alone. It's more than 100000 liang of silver. Then lead this person to the guild leader and let the guild leader decide for himself. There are more than 100 brothers in the guild residence. He can't lift any moths. The thin leopard thought about it and smiled back.
"Don't go with them, uncle. They are all bandits who kill people without blinking an eye." seeing this, Xuan Zhen hurried to remind them.
"Hey! You bastard!" the thin leopard shouted angrily.
Liu Yu glanced at the stubborn young Xuan Zhen, smiled and said, "it doesn't hurt!"
