Chapter 27 Gambling

Kushuijing, Taiping Street.

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

The people who originally lived here were the first group of meritorious soldiers who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer 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 merits and specially designated a street here. He named it Taiping Street with his imperial pen, which means that peace in the world began from this street.

They are just a group of disabled old soldiers. Even if they get some rewards, after marrying a wife and having children, they will all be spent in a few years. How can they enjoy peace?

When Emperor Taizu was still alive, things were going well, and he would often allocate some grain, rice, and money to provide relief. But when Emperor Taizu passed away, and Emperor Shizu came, the friendship faded away.

Grandfather Shizu had his own team of honorable ministers. Even among the sons of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and the founding ministers of the country, he only reused a few talented ones, such as the second generation of Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan.

The remaining ones were gradually marginalized and took over military power.

Even the founding ministers were like this, let alone Taiping Street.

After more than a hundred years, Kushuijing has become the poorest and most humble place in the entire Xicheng.

Speaking of the roots here, it's hard and a bit prickly.

The rich and powerful want to come here to enclose the land, but they can't afford it...

Because the people here can not only have some connections with many princes and noble houses, but it is not impossible to bring out one or two treasures given by Emperor Taizu.

Therefore, ordinary officials are reluctant to provoke this gang of thieves.

But what if there is no one to mess with?

The descendants of Qiu Ba on Taiping Street could not make much money by relying solely on the economy, and their ancestors had sold out much of the land outside the city.

Therefore, there is no way to go on the white road, and you can only take the black road. But I don’t know since when, someone put up the signboard of Jinsha Gang here.

Relying on their bravery and fighting spirit, and a little bit of support from their ancestors, the Jinsha Gang actually occupied a large piece of territory in a corner of the West City.

All vendors doing business on their territory, especially casinos, taverns, teahouses, and theaters, must be given a share of Taiping money.

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

Jia Qiang didn't know that this temple existed, so she broke other people's rules and was beaten to the door.

If the Jinsha Gang didn't have a big mouth like a lion and asked for three to five taels of silver a month, he would have accepted it.

There are always black and white in this world. When doing business, the most important thing is to be harmonious and make money. A few taels of silver should be used to do good deeds.

But the Jinsha Gang has such a big appetite, Jia Qiang can't tolerate their problems.

Now he has Jia Yun, a descendant of Rongguo, and Tieniu, who is as terrifying as a black bear monster, and he has enough cards to negotiate.

So instead of waiting for them to come to your door, why not take the initiative and come to your door?

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

When Jia Qiang brought Jia Yun, Tieniu, Tietou, and Zhu Zhu to a dilapidated mansion, Jia Qiang looked back at Tietou and said in surprise: "Is it right here?"

Tietou nodded and said: "It's right here. Although the Sands Gang is domineering and plundering money, they have a large population 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 gained another layer of knowledge 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. It was true that Tieniu was as eye-catching as a black bear monster.

A shout of "What are you doing?" was heard, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen young men poured out of the gate.

When the first person saw Tieniu's body, he immediately felt that it was not safe for more than a dozen people, and immediately sent someone inside to ask for help.

Jia Qiang and the other five people were surrounded by people, and they were all a little panicked, because they knew in their hearts that Tieniu was just a jerk.

At this moment, he was sullen and breathing heavily, not because he wanted to have a seizure, but because this turtle grandson was really scared...

Jia Qiang gently patted Tieniu on the shoulder, 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 came out, and then four or five middle-aged men in gray short shirts surrounded a man in a long coat.

The gray-haired man went out and shouted in a sharp voice: "Who dares to come to our Jinsha Gang door to cause trouble?"

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

In the era of cold weapons, a man who was over two meters tall and as strong as a rhinoceros was as intimidating as the B2 bombers of later generations.

Such a big man, if he wears armor and dances with a big ax, is almost a symbol of invincibility.

Even without armor or a big axe, just holding an iron rod in his hand was enough to sweep through three streets. It was inevitable that the Jinsha Gang would not take it seriously.

"Jia Qiang, I have business under my name at Qingta Temple. Today I learned that your gang went to establish rules, so I came to see how this rule should be established."

Jia Qiang's voice is clear and powerful. Although her face is like a crown jewel, she is not like the ordinary weak and scholarly person. Her eyes are sharp and bright, and there is a strong energy in her eyes.

The gray-haired man, who was surrounded by a crowd of gangsters, heard the people around him whisper a few words, frowned and asked, "Are you from the Jia family on Rongning Street?"

Jia Qiang snorted and said: "The ancestor of the family is indeed Duke Ning, but today we are only talking about Jianghu affairs, how can family background overwhelm others? Furthermore, with the foundation of the Jinsha Gang, we are still related to the two Dukes of Rong and Ning.

If we fight against our ancestors, I'm afraid it will bring shame to our ancestors."

When the gray-haired old man heard this, he sneered and said, "You are good at talking, but what you said is correct. Fighting against our ancestors is nothing we can do, and we are not afraid..." After a pause, he said: "

Although you are not very old, you are still a figure. Anyway, I can make the decision now and let you go without taking the 40% Taiping silver. But, little brother, you also said that when it comes to origins, let’s

We are still a family. It’s a pity that you are the only one running the meat skewers stall. I’m the one who decided to give you the Xiangzhu Street area, but you have to tell me the seasoning recipe. Our Jinsha Gang also wants to grill some mutton skewers.

How about you come and try it yourself?"

This one is even more ruthless. He doesn't want 40% of the money and just wants to dig up the roots.

Jia Yun and others' expressions changed after hearing this, but Jia Qiang only smiled faintly and asked: "I wonder what my father's status is in your gang? Can he keep his word?"

The old man laughed loudly and said loudly: "I am Qian Fu, the deputy gang leader of the Jinsha Gang. Now the gang leader is ill. Little brother, please tell me. Do you mean what I say?"

He looked flamboyant and carefree, and Jia Qiang immediately felt that he was rebellious.

He shook his head and said, "Deputy gang leader, are you bullying me because I'm young? Or do you think I'm easy to bully?"

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

Qian Fu sneered: "You think you can rely on a tall, stupid guy?"

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

Qian Fu sneered: "What kind of bet are you making?"

The smile on Jia Qiang's face gradually faded, she pointed at Tieniu and said: "I bet that this brother of mine can defeat your Jinsha Gang with one person, and at least twenty people will be seriously injured and thirty people will be slightly injured. If

It's not impossible that I could accidentally kill a few people on the spot if I get angry. And the worst I can do is stop doing business on Xiangzhu Street and go back to Rongning backstreet to study, and you won't get the recipe either. Do you dare to bet?"

When Qian Fu heard this, he became furious and said sternly: "Huangmao Shuzi, do you dare to threaten me? Believe it or not, I will prevent you from leaving my Jinsha Gang tonight!"

Jia Qiang laughed, her voice full of deliberate provocation, and said loudly: "If this is the case, I don't know how many casualties you will have tonight, but I know that early tomorrow morning, the Beijing camp will definitely march on Taiping Street and wipe out the Jinsha Gang.

! Those nobles who want to expand their houses have long been targeting this place, but they have always lacked a reason to take action. If you help them, they will thank you for their eighteenth generation of ancestors! Qian Fu, if you are brave enough, come here now.

Otherwise, don’t call him Qian Fu, call him Qian Rat. I would like to see how brave and courageous I still am today after being an old pawn under the command of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs. Come on!!"

Behind him, Tieniu roared, his body as tall and strong as a black bear kept shaking, as if he was waiting for an opportunity to move!
