(Sorry for the past few days, hehe. The outbreak will start tomorrow. Three to four chapters a day, and the outbreak will last for a week.))
There was an East-West street in the northeast of Chongwen District. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, this street was crowded with people who had come to avoid the disaster. After Kangxi learned of this situation, he completely relaxed the control of this street, permanently tax-free, and distributed a certain amount of grain every year.
Because of the loose policy, many outlaws began to gather on this street. In just two years, this street was completely occupied by outlaws. Every night, the entire street would start to cheer and shout. Because no one controlled it, people died from time to time. In a fit of anger, Kang Xi increased the taxes by several times. Unfortunately, these outlaws did not respond to the emperor's orders at all. Instead, they disguised themselves as ghosts to scare the tax collectors and even arrogantly killed the tax collectors.
For a moment, Kang Xi had no way to stop it, so he could only give up on this street. From then on, this street was called "Niu Gui Street" by the people to show everyone's fear of the outlaws on this street.
From the Kangxi era until now, this street was still the hideout of outlaws. Although they did not have real names, they lived a good life on this street. The street was extremely lively 24 hours a day. In contrast to the outlaws, the people here had their own special survival abilities. From another perspective, they were all special talents. Although it wasn't as fierce as the 108 Generals in Water Margins, it wasn't too weak.
Taking advantage of the night, Qiao Liansheng arrived at Bull Ghost Street. He was surprised to see that the street was nearly two kilometers long. What surprised him the most was that the buildings on this street had nothing to do with modern times. They were all made of black bricks and tiles, completely in the style of ancient architecture. However, it also looked very fresh.
After strolling for a while, Qiao Liansheng couldn't help but sigh. This street had everything that one could expect, and everything else was present.
After wandering around for a while, Qiao Liansheng didn't see any of the legendary outlaws. The people who came and went on the road seemed so honest. When she looked up, she saw a tavern not far away. From the sound of it, it seemed to be quite lively. After thinking for a while, she subconsciously walked in.
The tavern was called Pedestrian Tavern, and the decoration was completely in the style of the ancient times. The wooden tables and chairs made people feel like they had returned to the ancient times. A large group of people were drinking and making a scene. None of them had the slightest image to speak of. They were standing on chairs, holding a big bowl of liquor in one hand, and throwing peanuts into their mouths in the other. Even a few burly women were raising their arms and glaring at each other while shouting.
Qiao Liansheng instantly felt that he had come to the right place. He went to the counter and ordered a bottle of wine and two dishes that went with the wine. Then, he found an empty table and sat down, looking indifferently at the noisy men and women around him. What surprised him was that although these people were cursing, they got along very well. They did not fight or even fight with their lives as he had imagined.
The person collecting money at the counter was a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had a ponytail and her fair and tender little face was very round. She had a pair of clear big eyes that were not exaggerated or flirtatious. They were so pure that one look at them would make one's mood much calmer. This was also something that surprised Qiao Liansheng. There was actually such a girl in this legendary Bull Ghost Street that was filled with outlaws.
After downing half a glass of wine and eating almost all the dishes, Qiao Liansheng patted his belly in disappointment and prepared to leave. At this moment, three men walked into the tavern. They all looked to be in their late twenties. They were furious and looked like they were looking for trouble. Qiao Liansheng didn't want to miss such a scene, so she gave up on the idea of leaving. She poured herself a bowl of wine and watched quietly.
Among the three men, the one walking at the front had a small mustache. His sharp and thin face had a little shifty-like appearance. Standing next to him was a tall and strong man. He had a big horse face and thick arms. He clenched his fists and looked like he wanted to smash someone at any moment. A short and thin man was hiding behind the two of them. His small head was curled up on their shoulders, and his long and narrow eyes looked around. After looking around, he angrily pointed at the scar-faced man who was holding a bowl and pouring wine into his mouth.
The man with the small mustache and the big horse face received the order and quickly walked towards the scar-faced man without any explanation. In an instant, the entire tavern fell silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on the three men. The scar-faced man was drinking and didn't notice anything.
"Bang!"
With a loud sound, the big horse face's fist smashed into the scar-faced man's face. The force was so great that the scar-faced man actually flipped over twice and fell to the ground. The corner of his mouth was filled with blood. The big bowl that he was holding just now fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The man with the mustache did not show mercy. He took two steps forward and straddled the scar-faced man. He clenched his fist and smashed it down on the scar-faced man, who was already a little blurry. The man with the big horse picked up a chair beside him and smashed it down on the scar-faced man's head.
"Crack!"
The chair broke into pieces with the sound, but it did not hit the scar-faced man. At some point, a man in his late twenties had appeared beside the horse-faced man. The chair actually smashed into his raised arm, but there was no pain on his face. Instead, he had a faint smile.
Almost at the same time, he pulled the mustache away and dragged the scar-faced man behind him. Seeing this scene, Qiao Liansheng's eyes flashed with a strange light and he was overjoyed. Qiao Liansheng had noticed this man before. Ever since she entered the tavern, he had been sitting at the table in the corner, minding his own business as he drank and smoked. He didn't look around, nor did he make any noise. He was so quiet that it was a little strange.
"Friend, it's not good to leave a line, right?”The man silently took a step forward and protected the scar-faced man behind him. He retracted his arm and said with a faint smile. As he spoke, the scar-faced man, who had been beaten unconscious, was helped up by the others in the tavern. He sat down at the side and left the battlefield.
"Get lost! You have nothing to do here!" The man with the mustache glared at him and pointed at the man's nose as he roared. He quickly took two steps forward, wanting to go around the man and find the scar-faced man.
The man smiled and reached out to stop the man with the mustache." Is that enough? He's already so injured. I'm the owner of this tavern. Please stop here for my sake. How about it?”
"No one has ever been able to protect the people I want to beat up. Even the face of the Heavenly King is not negotiable. Get lost!" The man with the mustache did not give up. He swung the man's arm away and rushed towards the scar-faced man who was supported by two people.
"You're f * cking courting death!" A shout suddenly sounded from the crowd. A middle-aged man slammed the table and stood up. As if it was a signal, everyone in the tavern stood up.
"What? You still want to f * cking protect me?”The mustached man glared at him and patted the man's cheek. He raised his head and said fiercely,""I'm telling you, if anyone dares to protect him today, I'll flatten this place tonight! Let me tell you, I'm from the White Dragon Society! Who wants to try shouting again?"
" F * ck…" The middle-aged man who was the first to stand up lifted his chair and was about to rush over. However, the man waved his hand to stop her. As if the man was the leader of this group of people in the tavern, the middle-aged man actually sat back down quietly.
In an instant, the man's expression changed. He became extremely arrogant and cold. He was clearly as tall as the mustached man, but he already had an air of superiority. A cold smile appeared on his lips." Bai Qingsheng doesn't even dare to speak to me in this tone. You've really made him proud."”
"Who are you?" The man's aura weakened, and the mustached man began to inquire about the man's identity.
"Get out. Get out." The man did not respond. Instead, he waved his hand coldly. His eyes were so piercing that no one dared to look at him.
The man with the mustache was enraged. He shot a look at the big horse face and cursed angrily,"F * ck your ancestors!" He raised his fist and smashed it at the man. Big Horse Face, who was at the side, instantly moved and punched the man's back.
The man sneered, his left hand grabbing the mustached man's fist and clenching it, while his right hand forcefully blocked Big Horse's powerful sweep. The man with the mustache screamed as his hand was twisted. His face was in pain and he could not move at all. After Big Horse Face's sweep hit the man's right hand, he could not move it at all.
Without waiting for the big horse face to attack again, the man kicked the small mustached man's waist, sending the small mustached man flying. He fell two meters away and could not stand up straight.
At this moment, Big Horse Face roared angrily and threw two punches at the man. To Qiao Lian's admiration, the man actually pressed his fist against Big Horse Face's chest the moment Big Horse Face threw out his fist. His broad palm grabbed Big Horse Face's neck and lifted him up!
The man lifted the 200-pound horse face with one hand! She was unable to fight back at all. Her face was flushed red because of the difficulty in breathing. Her hands and feet were trembling in the air, but she could not threaten the man at all.
"Get out. Did you hear that?" The man said coldly.
This time, the mustached man and the big horse face nodded repeatedly. The man then let go, and the big horse face fell to the ground in an instant. The man turned around and glanced coldly at the short and thin man who had been standing at the door. The short and thin man immediately nodded and squatted down on the ground. He rolled out of the door with all his might.
Only then did Qiao Liansheng notice that there were two scars on the short and skinny man's face. They seemed to be knife wounds. The short and thin man started to roll, and the mustached man and the big horse face also started to roll. However, because they had been beaten up, it was difficult for them to roll. Under the watchful eyes of everyone and the ear-piercing laughter, they were also very embarrassed.
"Just you wait!" The man with the mustache finally rolled to the door and stood up shakily. He left a vicious sentence and fled.
The man smiled indifferently and glanced at the scar-faced man who was delirious and had blood on the corner of his mouth."Send her to the hospital!"
After saying that, he walked back to the empty table in the corner, and the two people who were supporting the scar-faced man helped him out of the tavern. The tavern became lively again. There were people talking, laughing, drinking, and chatting as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the girl at the counter walked over to the man. She pouted her small mouth and looked cute and moving. She came to the man's side and gently knocked on the table. She said in a bad mood,"Fighting again!"
The man blinked innocently." Xiao Wan, you saw it too. I was forced!”
"Humph! Stop it. You were the one who deliberately provoked him.”The girl shrewdly discovered this problem.
"This is... Hehe, I'm also doing this to save Scarface.”The man seemed to dote on the girl and his tone was very gentle.
"Alright then! I'll forgive you this time.”The girl pursed her lips and returned to the counter.
The man nodded repeatedly. After the girl left, he picked up his glass and continued to drink quietly.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liansheng finished his last glass of wine and left the tavern in satisfaction. He had taken a fancy to this man, but Qiao Liansheng knew that haste would not eat hot tofu. Only after a long time would he be able to gain the hearts of the people and become a true resource…
