Chapter 137 Fighting

In the city of Nanjing, scholars from all over the world gathered in it because of Chunwei.There are so many people, but to what extent?Even in this storytelling teahouse, there are about 70 to 100 scholars, and there are only about [-] tea drinkers in the whole teahouse.

At this time, because of the five taels of silver on Chu Chu's skirt, there was a tense atmosphere in the teahouse.

The folding fan tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, and Mr. Zheng, who was wearing a white robe, looked up at the choking man and said, "Who am I? It turns out that he is the famous Taiyuan 'talented scholar'. No wonder he speaks so loudly."

Jiao Sheng rolled his eyes, and said with a light smile, "What kind of Taiyuan talent, it's just the love of classmates, it's not as good as Mr. Zheng's."

"Brother Jiao," Zheng Shanru's face sank, "Disputes are disputes, can you stop talking about my Zheng family?"

"The reward of five taels of silver made you hurt my northern scholars. I just said a few words about your Zheng family and you can't stand it? Is the so-called first family in the south of the Yangtze River the first one? I saw it." Jiao Sheng shook his head with a look of contempt.

"You!" Zheng Shanru was short of breath.

Looking at the tea guests around, as the two quarreled, they were faintly divided into three groups: the scholars from the south, the scholars from the north, and the melon-eating masses represented by Zhu Yunwen and Xu Ruyi.

China has been paying attention to origin and native place since ancient times. Even today, a word of hometown can make two strangers get close naturally. In the court hall of the Ming Dynasty, the existence of "hometown" is not just a simple closeness, but basis of party formation.The water in the court hall is very muddy and intricate, and it is bound to be difficult for those scholars who have never experienced it in front of them to understand, but they still understand the principle of taking care of each other and taking care of each other.

"Your Highness." Xu Ruyi turned his head and asked in a low voice: "What is this No. [-] family in Jiangnan? It's so loud. Why doesn't he call it No. [-] in the world?" The name "First House" is novel.

"Dare to say that the first family in the south of the Yangtze River is a 'thing', and the words are disrespectful. If the emperor finds out, he will definitely beat you." Zhu Yunwen laughed, and then explained to Xu Ruyi in a low voice.

If we say that the title of "the first one in Jiangnan" is really certified by the royal family, it was also recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang personally.As a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Zheng family is actually nothing new, but the world is like this. As long as it is done to the extreme, it will be very different.The Zheng family has settled in Zhengjia Town in the east of Pujiang County, Zhejiang since the Southern Song Dynasty. After hundreds of years, the family has not been separated. Thousands of people share wealth and food, and they also adhere to the ancestral motto of "ruling the family with filial piety" , any descendant of the clan who commits adultery and evil will be punished by "cutting off the genealogy, expelling the family members, and not being able to enter the ancestral hall after death."Ever since, in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang personally granted the title of "the first family in Jiangnan" because of the Zheng family's righteous residence.

Zhu Yunwen told Xu Ruyi about the history of the Zheng family, but the scolding battle between Zheng Shanru and Jiao Sheng in the teahouse gradually escalated from "counterpart" to "group talk", and the scholars from the north and south also lined up and began to support Think of your "classmates and friends".

"The Zheng family's famous family, how can you guys treat it lightly?" A blue-robed "Southern School" scholar said loudly.

"Brother Zheng, don't be angry. People in the north are ignorant. It's normal that they don't know my background in Jiangnan."

"That's right, what insight can they gain from living with the northern Tartars for a long time?"

You glanced at me and said something in a murmur, with some dialect from my hometown, and every sentence was stinging, all of which belittled the northern scholars.Naturally, the northern scholars would not listen honestly, and roared at the top of their throats.

"What kind of noble family, I think it's nothing more than that."

"Where is the self-cultivation when you speak out and hurt people?"

"A group of southern barbarians, jittering and yelling, what else can they do except play tricks?"

These words are a bit interesting, what can scholars do if they don’t play tricks, there are quite a few crows standing on the pig’s back-just seeing others being black.

The results of disputes are generally divided into two types, either they stop due to the appearance of some character, or they become more intense.The argument turned into arguments, shoving, and eventually a fight.

From the moment someone in the northern and southern camps yelled out the first words "straight mother thief" and "turtle bastard", the "audience" knew something was wrong.

"Who do you scold?"

"Disgraceful."

"You scolded first!"

"It's obviously you."

The students on both sides got closer and closer, and the number of 70 people quarreled with the momentum of 700 people.Xu Ruyi calmly pulled Zhu Yunqi up, and walked towards the corner.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Zhu Yunqi asked confusedly.

"You don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Your Highness." Xu Ruyi smiled helplessly: "After a while, tables, chairs, cups and plates were flying all over the place. If something flew on your head, Your Highness might bleed a little, and the slaves would be fine." I'm going to lose my head."

"Oh, that's true." Seeing that other people were also moving towards the wall, Zhu Yunqi suddenly understood.

"Your Highness," Xu Ruyi thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to take action to make them disperse?"

"No, no, no." Zhu Yunqi smiled and said, "I haven't seen people fight yet, so I'll watch it first, anyway, with you around, nothing major will happen."

"..." Speechless.

The irrelevant tea drinkers collectively turned into a melon-eating group, and Kuaizuyu on the stage saw that the situation was not good, and pulled his daughter Chuchu to put away the money, and hid in the corner.

It’s not a big deal for those watching the excitement, and the “liveliness” itself is already exciting.The only people in the room who were really worried were probably the shopkeeper and the waiter.

Crying secretly in his heart, the shopkeeper made a gesture to the waiter.The shop waiter nodded, then ran away with his head sullenly looking out, while the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and stood beside the crowd, bowed and bowed, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, everyone, the shop is small and the profits are small, and the young masters If you want to fight, can you fight outside, otherwise the shop really can't afford it."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, you won't make things difficult for me." The crowd was noisy, but a few people heard it and replied proudly by the way.

"Okay, it seems they have to be beaten." In fact, the shopkeeper didn't care about a few sets of tables, chairs, a few teapots and so on.The key is that they are afraid of killing people. They are all hot-blooded and their attacks are not serious.If he kicked to the heart, hit the temple, and killed people on the spot, they turned around and dispersed in a swarm. He, the shopkeeper, might face a lawsuit. If he wanted to be safe, he would have to bleed up and down.

Shaking his head helplessly, the shopkeeper was anxious in his heart: "Why don't you come here, it's not far away."

. . . . . .

In a small wine shed on the side of the street, Niu Er led his brother Niu Tiechui, drinking wine with four or five small dishes on the table.

"Brother, this sauced tofu is really good, can I have another plate?"

"Eat more if you like it, it's not bad for these three melons and two dates."

"Boss!" Niu Tiechui slapped the table and shouted, "Another plate of sauced tofu!"

"Okay." The shopkeeper greeted, and then brought another plate from the back kitchen and put it on the table.

"Don't eat too much, something might happen later." Niu Er picked up his glass and took another sip.The wine shed sells some low-quality locally brewed wine, that is, it barely smells like wine, and if you watch it yourself, you won't be afraid of getting drunk with a hammer.However, if you eat too much, you will easily get out of breath when you move, which is also a troublesome thing.

"Brother." Niu Tiechui dug a spoonful of tofu and put it in his mouth, Wulu Wulu said: "With your ability, why don't you go to the gang? Li Qiye from the Flying Eagle Gang sent someone again last night pull you?"

"The ears are sharp enough, I thought you were asleep." Niu Er squinted at him, but he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining.

"Brother, my third aunt asked me to hang out with you, and my mother also said that I would listen to you in everything. As long as you say a word, I have nothing to say about the hammer." Niu Tiehui slapped his chest: "But I am stupid with a hammer." Well, there are some things that I can't figure out. If it's just the two of us messing around like this, ten or eight years can pass, but what should we do when our health fails later? Find a gang to join, and then there will be a caretaker, no Is it good too?"

"Heh." Niu Er shook his head and chuckled, "Who says you're stupid? You're right and you know how to plan for the long-term, but I don't see that you have such thoughts." He casually picked up two peanuts and threw them into the Chewing "creaking" in his mouth, Niu Er said: "The gangsters look at the scenery, but in fact, you will know that it is not easy when you actually enter it. Nanjing is a city full of good and bad people, and the forces of all parties are entangled and intertwined. Take For Li Qiye’s Flying Eagle Gang, there was a fight with the Wild Dog Gang a few days ago, and twenty or thirty of them died. Have you heard?”

"Um. I heard." Hammer nodded, but he didn't care: "We're working as gangsters to earn our lives, so it's not too bad."

"It's not that simple. These 30 or [-] people died on the surface. Is there still in the dark?"

"Secretly?" Hammer was a little confused: "Didn't the Taoist say that Dead Alley doesn't accept jobs from gangs?"

"It's not to accept jobs from gang leaders." Niu Er said, "But that's not what I'm talking about. I heard that they injured two passing civilians in the fight a few days ago."

"Then what happened?"

"A relative of those two people was a housekeeper in the mansion of an official in the court. Then the matter was transferred to Master Qi and Lord Dog, who had to send gold and silver and a few of his subordinates to enter the house. Shuntian Mansion will take the blame." After a pause, Niu Er said in a deep voice: "When you join a gang, you will feel uncomfortable. It's normal to fight and kill, but the key is that you don't know when you will be thrown out by your superiors. Scapegoats, the ones who really enjoy the happiness will always be the few people who have settled down. If you think about it this way, how can it compare to the comfort our brothers are living now?

When we save some money, we will open some kind of oil and salt shop in the countryside, or do some small business. This life will be long, but it will pass after a while, you say. "

"Uh, that's true." Hammer scratched his head, thinking that what Niu Er said had some truth.

"Second Master, Second Master! I found you, come and take a look, something has happened." Running all the way, Xiaoer from the teahouse finally found Niu Er.

"What's the matter?" Niu Eryi raised his eyebrows, then poured a glass of wine and handed it over: "Drink a glass of wine, calm your breath, and talk slowly. Big things are not too late."

"I...I...over there..." After stopping, Xiao Er lost his temper a bit, and after drinking Niu Er's wine, he became stronger, and said hastily: "Master Niu, scholars from the south and the north are fighting in the teahouse, go and have a look."

Hearing this, Niu Er couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Scholars making troubles are the most troublesome, and it's hard to tell whose teacher is which official master. Taking a step back, even if there is no such relationship, it is not easy to deal with.A scholar who hits someone is called a man, and a scholar who is beaten is called a disgraceful gentleman. If he turns his head and yells at the gate of the yamen, the one who beats someone will most likely be arrested.

"Master Niu? Master Niu?" Xiao Er couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw Niu Er hesitate.

"Admonition, what is the urging? Didn't you see that my elder brother was thinking of a plan?" Niu Tiechui stood up and grabbed Xiaoer's neck and pulled him closer. He raised his fist with the other hand and threatened, "Don't dare Speaking of which, I recognize you, but my fists cannot recognize you!"

"Don't, don't, Master Hammer." Xiao Er was completely panicked.

"Hammer, put it down!" Niu Er came back to his senses, yelled at Niu Tie Hammer, and then patted Xiao Er on the shoulder: "After receiving your family's safety money, our brothers will naturally not run away if something happens, otherwise we will I slapped my family in the face. My brother has a quick temper and is ignorant, so don't take it to heart, little brother, the Sa family will accompany you for a walk."

"Thank you, thank you, Master Niu." Xiaoer trembled.

"The shopkeeper!" Niu Er turned his head and said before leaving: "Today my brother eats about fifteen kuai, and today's extra money is discounted and you are still two kuai short." He stretched out his hand and took out two kuai Put the money on the table: "One yard is worth one yard. I, Niu Er, am a man of rules and will never take advantage of you."

"Master Niu is righteous." The shopkeeper walked to the table and watched the three walk away with folded hands.

"Even though Second Master Niu is a bastard, he is also a refined man." The shopkeeper nodded.

. . . . . .

When Niu Er arrived, the scene was out of control.More than sixty people fought together, their robes were torn, and their headscarves fell off. You punched me and kicked each other, and all of them had crooked noses and slanted eyes, but they were still full of anger and scolded endlessly. .

If you think about it, they are all a group of scholars. They don’t work on weekdays. They either study hard behind closed doors, or they are romantic. If they really want to fight, their fists and feet are soft, and the pain is painful, but it is definitely not serious.Judging from this posture, they will have to fight for at least half an hour before they can decide the winner.

"Niu Er, you are here. Look at the commotion, what should we do?" Seeing Niu Er approaching, the shopkeeper hurried up to greet him.

"Don't worry shopkeeper, Niu Er, I have my own opinion!"
