Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Yang Lao Si also bowed to his brothers as Big Brother Ruan wanted, but Yang Lao Si was not as clumsy as Lu Niupi, so he made a fool of himself, and he made friends with some stubborn rogues.Mr. Yang grew up in the business industry, and he knew the psychology of some rich people, especially the psychology of those wealthy households, so he specifically targeted those wealthy households. On the morning when Lu Niupi got drunk, he invited Qi Shiming, the young shopkeeper of Rongji Silk Cloth Shop, Zhong Hongsheng, the eldest son of Zhong Erye, the "Zhilong" shop, Fang Dayuan, the rich man in Zhenbei, and several guys who love money like their lives. We went to the back hall of the "Chunsheng" to talk.

These people have more or less traded money and goods with the "Chunsheng" in the past, and they are very familiar with Yang Laosi.They never regarded Mr. Yang as an outsider. When they got together, they talked about business and making money. They talked and talked, and some sighs and sorrows arose. The first was Zhong Hongsheng, the son of Master Zhong Er of the "Zhilong", who raised his head. Zhong Hong said: "It's really not easy to do business now! The sea is not quiet, and the ships that come and go to deliver goods will be scarce! It would be great if Shi Lang, the great general of Jinghai, was reincarnated, and if all the thieves on the sea were captured and wiped out, our days would be the same. It's better."

Qi Shiming from Rongji Silk Shop said: "It's not just at sea! These pirates have also robbed land! On June 22, wouldn't the three monks rob Nansipo? If the guards hadn't arrived with officers and soldiers, we The silk shop will also be robbed!" "Don't mention the officials, officers and soldiers, and the garrison! They are becoming more and more useless! Don't talk about taking those pirates, they can't manage our affairs on the ground well! Mr. Chen is a good person. Those rascals beat the board, slapped their mouths, and showed the public with shackles, but for some reason, there are more and more rascals!"

The one who said this was Zhang Yixin, who opened a tea shop. He had experienced the deceptions of Lu Niupi and Zhong Deliang a lot. When he mentioned them, he naturally gritted his teeth. "Let's just talk about that Lu cowhide. It's nothing! Relying on the same surname as Mr. Xiaolian, he asked you to borrow money every three days and never paid it back. Once he offended him, he instigated a bunch of scoundrels to come to you in the middle of the night. Shit and pee at your door! That time..." "Okay! Brother Yixin, if you say it's bitter, there is no one more bitter than Fang Dayuan. I was kidnapped by a gang of beheading ghosts! I asked for five hundred taels of silver! Five hundred taels of silver! "

The meat-headed rich man Fang Dayuan put on a bitter face: "I went to report to the government, but the government didn't get those beheaded ghosts, but instead scammed me for ten taels of silver! This... what is the world!" Listening to everyone's discussion, Yang Laosi secretly felt that it was funny.In fact, he knew most of all this. Before he swore to Jinlan, Lu Niupi and his scoundrels had contacts with him—of course, he had spent some money in order to have contacts with them.Without right and wrong, he would not have the distress of everyone.Now listening to everyone's complaints, he was a little happy, and felt that Lu Niupi was really making a fuss, and if Lu Niupi and the others were not so noisy, these people would never run away with him.

Seeing that everyone had said a lot, Mr. Yang also spoke up: "You guys are right! Right now, the ground is really chaotic, with local rogues, pirates, bandits, and locusts! My business is getting harder and harder. Done! I can’t deal with these gangsters alone, and I will suffer in the end!” The skinny Zhang Yixin said: "If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss! Anyway, no matter what I say, I can't be like Uncle Zhao Zhao Ziyun of Nanbao, who suffered from Lu Niupi's loss and confessed Lu Niupi as his ancestor!" "Yes! This is really embarrassing! We are all people with dignity, so we can't go in with these scoundrels!"

Two more people proved with one voice: they are all innocent and noble, and they must not be in the company of such local ruffians. Mr. Yang knew that everyone had misunderstood, and said again: "That's not what I said! I mean, we are difficult to deal with alone, so let's form an alliance together! The Lu family has a smug Lu family. , our family of mixed surnames should also form a group! Look at the Lu family, don’t they rely on the number of people, so that no one dares to provoke them? If my brothers and I form a group, the gang of villains will deal with it We have to think twice!"

Zhang Yixin's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Very good! Very good!" "Say, fourth child, go on!" Elder Yang said: "Let's not talk about people from the older generation, people who don't have a good relationship with us, but all of you here, we are of the same age, and we all have some property. We share the same loyalty, why not make a good relationship with Jinlan? From now on, if one family has trouble, several families will help each other; if one family is in trouble, several families will help each other..." "Excellent! Excellent!"

"Not bad!" "This is what I wanted to say a long time ago, but..." Everyone agreed. But there were also those who expressed different opinions, and this person was Fang Dayuan, a rich man with a meat head. Fang Dayuan shook his huge head and said: "Will worshiping Jinlan be able to withstand the nonsense of those gangsters? With the few of us, it will not take much effort to tie up the gangsters..." Seeing the success of the work, Mr. Yang couldn't allow Fang Dayuan to continue talking!Before Fang Dayuan finished what he wanted to say, he hurriedly said: "Don't interrupt, it's better to have a few righteous brothers than to be alone! In the future, if we have brothers who are like-minded, if we pull them in, the power will gradually grow Is it? Say it again, say it again..."

Fourth Yang thought of the extraordinary Ruan family brother, and felt that it was necessary to brag about it at this juncture, in order to expand his influence and establish his majestic image. "Besides, we also have people. My fourth child has a brother-in-law. Do you know who it is? He is the famous Ruan Dacheng, my brother! Brother Ruan is dedicated to donating money, and he will deal with those gangsters! Brother Ruan said, Lu Niupi dare not say anything! But my brother Ruan admires me very much, why? Just because of me, Mr. Yang, to show loyalty to my friends! That time at sea, brother Ruan was about to be killed by pirates. I was tied up and hacked. I, the fourth brother Yang, rushed forward and said to the gangsters: "If you want to chop down my surname Yang, brother Ruan, you can't do it! In the end, the bandits respected my loyalty, so they didn't dare to treat my brother Ruan." Start..."

It was a good bragging, which bluffed everyone.Most of the people knew about the bandits encountered by the Bird Fleet at sea, and they were already familiar with Ruan Dacheng's prestige. Now that they heard that Yang Laosi and Ruan Dacheng were worshiped brothers, they couldn't help feeling a little respectful. Fang Dayuan, who was terrified of being tied up, was the first to call out: "Oh, it turns out that the fourth brother and Brother Ruan have Jinlan friendship? Then, why don't we all pay respects to Uncle Ruan?" Elder Yang said: "This is not allowed! Brother Ruan is not casually worshiping others, even if I say it, I'm afraid it won't make sense! Brother Ruan pays attention to loyalty, and you have to see through the loyalty of people to worship!" Fang Dayuan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Then, fourth brother, if we all pay respects to you, Brother Ruan must also recognize our group of righteous brothers, right? At least, he won't ignore anything that happens in the future." Bar?" Old Fourth Yang nodded solemnly and said, "Natural! Natural! That's natural!" Everyone got an affirmative answer, as if they had received the imperial decree from the emperor, and they thought that they would be able to take care of the famous brother Ruan from now on, so they agreed to set up a wine shop on the Chunsheng ship, set up an incense table, and pay homage to Jinlan .
