Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Bloodstone
In the past few years, he has grown taller and stronger, and his knowledge of martial arts has also improved with each passing day.My home is all over the world, but I feel at ease, doing chivalry everywhere, helping the poor and the poor, but I can't say so much.It's just that he made a big move, and the two hundred taels of gold that Zhao Banshan gave had already disappeared.
One day I thought about it, and I often heard people say that Guangdong is rich and prosperous, and there are quite a few heroic people who have nothing to do, so I rode a bad horse and came straight to Lingnan.
On this day, I arrived at Foshan Town, a large town in Guangdong.Foshan Zilai, together with Zhuxian, Jingde, and Hankou, is known as the four largest towns in the world, and Minfeng Wufu is located at the end, with prosperous shops.When Hu Fei arrived in the town, it was the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the afternoon. He was hungry. He saw a three-bay restaurant in the south of the road. The knives and ladles rang, and the aroma of wine and meat burst out.Hu Fei thought to himself: "The signboard of this restaurant is strange." When he touched his side, there was only a hundred and ten yuan left, thinking that it would be impossible to drink today, and let's eat a big bowl of noodles to fill his stomach.Immediately tie the horse to the stake in front of the restaurant and walk upstairs.
The waiter in the restaurant saw that his clothes were old and his face was full of displeasure, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Guest officer, there is a private seat upstairs, don't you think the price is expensive?" When Hu Fei heard this, he became angry, and said in his heart: " Your sign is called Hero Building, but you treat poor friends with such a stern attitude. If I don’t want you to turn your back on your back alone, Hu Fei will call you a hero in vain.” He laughed and said: “As long as the food and drinks are exquisite, you are not afraid of expensive prices.” That guy Suspicious, he squinted and let him go upstairs.
The tables and chairs upstairs are clean.The guests in the seat are luxuriously dressed, and the nineteenth are wealthy businessmen.The clerk looked at his appearance, and he didn't expect to be very luscious, but he didn't come to say hello for a long time.Hu Fei wondered secretly, what idea should he have to eat him for nothing.Suddenly there was a commotion in the middle of the street, a woman came laughing and clapping her hands.
Hu Fei was sitting by the window, leaning on the window and looking towards the middle of the street, and saw a woman with disheveled hair, blood on her face, clothes, and hands, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, crying, laughing, and gesticulating , It turned out to be a lunatic.The bystanders stood far away, with fear or pity on their faces, and no one dared to approach her.I saw her pointing at the signboard of "Hero Building", clapping her hands and laughing, and said: "Master Feng, you live a long life, rich and honorable, my old lady will kowtow to you, and let God bless you with eyes." On the ground, he kowtowed so hard that his forehead was covered with blood, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all. While kowtowing, he called out: "Master Feng, you get a bucket of gold every day and a bucket of silver at night. You are very rich and powerful. A thousand sons and grandsons."
A man appeared in the restaurant, holding a long pipe, who looked like the shopkeeper, pointed at the woman and cursed: "Sister Zhong Si, you are going crazy, go back to your own den, don't disturb the guests' enjoyment of eating and drinking here." The fourth sister-in-law of Zhong didn't pay any attention to it, she still cried and laughed, and kowtowed to the restaurant.With a wave of the shopkeeper's hand, two stout men walked out of the restaurant, one grabbed the kitchen knife in her hand, and the other pushed it hard.The fourth sister-in-law of Zhong suddenly fell a somersault and rolled across the street. After struggling to get up, she stood there in a daze. Bitter. God has eyes, you didn't steal other people's geese to eat."
The man who snatched the kitchen knife raised the knife and shouted: "If you continue to talk nonsense here, I will give you a knife." Fourth Mrs. Zhong was not afraid, and continued to cry.Seeing disapproval on the faces of everyone in the neighborhood, the shopkeeper took a few puffs of cigarettes, exhaled a puff of white smoke, waved his hand, and went back into the restaurant with the two men.
Hu Fei was annoyed when he saw two men bullying a woman, but it was unreasonable to think that the woman was a lunatic, so he suddenly heard two drinkers sitting at the table behind him discussing quietly.One said: "Master Feng is too hasty in this matter. He forced a life to death, I am afraid that he will suffer retribution in the future." When Hu Fei heard the nine words "forced a life to death", his heart shivered .I only heard another person say: "That can't be said to be Master Feng's fault. If something is missing at home, it is very common to ask. Who told this woman to lose her mind and go crazy, and cut her own son's stomach open." Hu Fei Hearing the last sentence, how can I bear it, and turned around suddenly.I saw that the two people who were talking were about forty years old, one was fat and the other was thin, they were both wearing silk and satin gowns, look at their attire, they were both rich shopkeepers.Seeing him turning his head, the two looked at each other, and immediately stopped talking.
Hu Fei knows that this kind of person is the most timid and fearful. If he asks kindly, he will definitely deny that he doesn't know, and he will never tell frankly. He stood up immediately, made a bow, smiled all over his face, and said: "You two Boss, I’m in Guangzhou, I haven’t seen you for several years, how are you two?” The two of them were strangers to him, and they felt strange when they heard that his accent was from other provinces. Returning the gift, he said: "Hello, hello." Hu Fei said with a smile: "My little brother came to Foshan this time and brought 10,000 taels of silver. It can't be better, just ask the two of you for help." When the two heard the words "ten thousand taels of silver", they burst out laughing from the bottom of their hearts. "Two silver coins" is no small matter, how can you miss it?Qi said: "That's what it should be, please come and have a drink together, how about talking slowly?"
Hu Fei was about to ask the two of them to say this, so there was no way to be polite, so he walked over immediately, sat down on the sidewalk, and asked straight to the point: "Just now I heard what you two said, why did you force a life to death? Ask." The faces of the two people changed slightly, and just about to evade, Hu Fei stretched out his left hand, moved from left to right under the table, and grabbed each wrist, held it in the palm of his hand, and held it slightly. With great effort, the two yelled "Ah", and their faces turned pale immediately.The guys at the top of the building and all the drinkers turned around when they heard the cries.Hu Fei whispered: "Don't make a sound!" The two didn't dare to disobey, so they had to smile wryly at the same time.Seeing that there was nothing else to do, others didn't look at it again.
The wrists of the two were held by Hu Fei, as if they were firmly bound by an iron hoop, how could they move half a point?Hu Fei said in a low voice: "I used to be a murderer without batting an eyelid. Now I have changed my ways and learned to do business. I need 10,000 taels of silver to make goods, but I am short of my capital, so I have to borrow 5,000 taels from each of you." They said in unison: "I...I don't have any." Hu Fei said: "Okay, tell me about Master Feng's death. I won't borrow money from anyone who can explain clearly and carefully. This ten thousand taels of silver has to fall on the other person." The two of them hurriedly said, "I will say it, I will say it." No one was willing to say it before, but now they are afraid to bear the burden alone, and they have become a single creditor. scrambling to get up.
Hu Fei saw that the method of this competition was effective, smiled slightly, and heard the fat man speak the northern dialect with a better accent, so he pointed at him and said: "The fat one will speak first, and the thin one will speak later. Whoever can't speak clearly, then He is my creditor." Saying that, he let go of the two wrists, took off the package on his back, opened it, revealing a gleaming steel knife, picked up a pair of ivory chopsticks on the table, and lightly touched the knife edge Suddenly, the chopsticks were broken into four pieces.The two looked at each other, their mouths were wide open but they couldn't close their hearts.Hu Fei stretched out his hands and touched the back of the necks of the two of them, as if looking for the place where the knife should be cut, which made the two of them even more frightened.Hu Fei nodded, and said to himself: "Okay, okay!" He wrapped the package again.
The fat businessman hurriedly said: "Master, let me tell you, Custodian can explain it more clearly than..." The skinny businessman hurriedly said: "That's not necessarily true, let me talk about it first." Hu Fei's face sank, Said: "I said to listen to him first, what are you busy with?" The skinny businessman hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." Hu Fei said: "You will be punished if you don't follow my orders!" The fat businessman had a serious look on his face.
Hu Fei said: "There is little wine and few dishes, how is it the reason to respect guests? Quickly ask a table to wait for the banquet." When the thin businessman heard that the punishment was very light, as if he was amnesty, he hurriedly called the waiter over and told him to make a five-two table immediately. Silver's best food and drink.The guy was very surprised to see Hu Fei sitting with them, and when he heard that there was a deal of five taels of silver, he immediately agreed with a smile on his face.
Hu Fei looked out of the window and saw the fourth wife of Zhong sitting on the ground across the street with disheveled hair, looking up at the sky, muttering to herself, not knowing what to say.
The fat businessman said: "Master, I will tell you about this matter, but no one will know that I said it." Hu Fei frowned, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, then let him say it." looking back at the skinny businessman.The fat businessman hurriedly said, "I'll say, I'll say. Young Master, this Master Feng's name is Feng Tiannan, and he is a rich man in Foshan Town. He has a nickname called..." The skinny businessman interjected: " It's called Nan Batian." Hu Fei shouted: "It's not about cross talk, what are you doing?" The skinny businessman lowered his head.I dare not speak any more.
The fat businessman said: "Master Feng opened a big pawn shop in Foshan Town, called Hero Pawnshop; a restaurant, this is Hero House; and a big casino, called Hero Club. He is rich and powerful, He has a wide range of friends, and his martial arts are considered to be the best in Guangdong. People in the town also privately said that every month, people send money from three places in eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, and northern Guangdong to honor him. I heard that he is the head of the Five Tigers faction. People, if the brothers of the Five Tigers make a fortune everywhere, they have to give him a share. These things in the rivers and lakes, even the little ones can't understand." Hu Fei nodded and said: "Yes, he is a big rich man. Another big robber who sits on the ground and divides the spoils." The two of them glanced at him and thought: "Then you are walking with him." Hu Fei had already understood their intentions, and smiled: "As the saying goes, walking together is an enemy. I and this Mr. Feng is not a friend. You have good things to say, and bad things to say, so don't hide it."
The fat businessman said: "Master Feng's house has entered five times in a row. It was already big enough, but he recently married a seventh concubine, and he wants to build a Qifeng building next to the latter for this new concubine to live in." The land he was interested in was the vegetable garden passed down by Aunt Chung's family. The land was only about two acres, but Zhong A lived on four kinds of vegetables, and his family of five depended on this vegetable garden for food. Master Feng gave Zhong A Si Called to go, said to buy his land for five taels of silver. Zhong Ah Si naturally refused. Master Feng added it to ten taels. Zhong Ah Si still refused, saying that it was a hundred taels of silver, and he could eat it all, but here The vegetable garden is digging soil and watering. As long as you put in the effort, the family will not starve to death. Master Feng was annoyed and drove him out. The goose-stealing thing started yesterday.
"It turned out that Mr. Feng had ten fat geese in his backyard, but one suddenly disappeared yesterday. The servant said that the second and third sons of the Zhong family stole it. They found it in his vegetable garden, and there were many geese in the vegetable field. Goose feather. The fourth sister-in-law of Zhong called Qu, saying that her two sons have always behaved well and would never steal from others. This goose feather must have been thrown in the vegetable garden by someone else. The servants asked the second and third daughters to ask, and both of them said no. Steal. Master Feng asked: "What did you eat this morning?" The third son said: "Eat me, eat me." Master Feng slapped the table and cursed, saying: "The third son himself recruited, and said he didn't steal it." ?' So he asked someone to go to the inspector's office to file a complaint, and the guards came and locked up Zhong Asi.
"Sister-in-law Zhong knew that although her family was poor, her two sons were well-behaved. The family was always afraid of Feng's family and would never steal their geese, so she went to Feng's house to argue, but was kicked out by Master Feng's servants. She He rushed to the inspector's yamen to appeal for injustice, but he was also thrown out by the guards. The inspector master was entrusted by Master Feng, and he used a board and a stick, and he had already cured Zhong Ah Si to the point of death. Zhong Si's sister-in-law went to visit the prison and saw that her husband was covered all over his body. Bloody and mutilated, she couldn't speak. She just yelled nonchalantly, "No land, no land! No stealing, no stealing." The fourth sister-in-law Zhong felt anxious, so she got mad. She hurried back home, Dragging the third son in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, he called the neighbors from the left and right to go to the ancestral temple together. The neighbors only said that she wanted to swear an oath before God, so they went to testify together. The villain lived close to her, Also follow to see the excitement.
"Sister-in-law Zhong Si kowtowed a few times in front of Grandpa Beidi's seat and said, "Grandpa Beidi, my child must not steal other people's geese. He is only four years old this year. What did you say eat me, eat me! The little woman’s family has been wronged, the corrupt officials have been bribed, and the verdict is unknown, so I can only ask Grandpa Beidi to avenge his grievances!” As he spoke, he raised the knife, and cut the third son’s stomach open with one knife. "
Hu Fei listened all the way, and his eyes were already tearing. Hearing this, he couldn't help shouting, stood up abruptly, and slapped the bowl on the table with a slap, splashing the soup, and shouted: "How can there be such a thing?" thing?"
Seeing his majesty, the two fat and thin businessmen trembled together: "This is absolutely true!" Hu Fei stepped on the bench with his right foot, took out a single knife from the burden, put it on the table, and shouted: "Speak quickly! "The fat businessman said: "This...it's none of my business."
Seeing Hu Fei's vicious look, the drinkers in the restaurant were all terrified.The timid drinkers slipped downstairs one by one before finishing their meal.All the guys stood far away, and no one dared to come over.
Hu Fei shouted: "Quickly tell me, is there goose meat in Xiaosanzi's belly?" The fat businessman said: "No goose meat, no goose meat. His stomach is full of snail meat. It turns out that Zhong's family I was poor and had nothing to eat, so my second and third brothers went to the fields to touch snails to eat. The meat of the snails was so hard that the third son couldn't chew them, so he swallowed them whole, so it took a long time for them to melt. He said: 'Eat me, eat me!' But he said 'Eat snails!' Alas, what a child, he died in the ancestral temple like this. The fourth sister-in-law of Zhong went crazy." (Note: Eat snails mistakenly Eating geese, the ancestral temple broke the child's abdomen, and it is true that all the old people in Foshan know about it. In the ancestral temple of Foshan today, there is a blood-stained stone in front of the statue of the Northern Emperor, and there are faint bloodstains. The witness of injustice. The author has seen it with his own eyes. If readers go to Foshan, they can visit it. However, the age and names of the people have been lost for a long time. The author asked the cultural circles in Foshan town at that time, but no one knew it. The names and other stories in the article are fictitious.)
Hu Fei pulled out his single knife and shouted, "Where does this surnamed Feng live?" Before the fat businessman could answer, he heard a faint barking of dogs in the distance, and the skinny businessman sighed: "Do evil, do evil!" Hu Fei Said: "What else is there?" The thin businessman said: "That's Master Feng's servant with a vicious dog, and he is chasing the second son of the Zhong family." Hu Fei said angrily: "The injustice has been discerned, so what are you doing with him?" The skinny businessman said: "Master Feng said: since the third son didn't eat it, it must be the second son who ate it, so he must be questioned. The neighbors knew that Master Feng was furious, so they decided to put this wrong on the second son's head, secretly Ask the second son to run away. Master Feng's servants have searched everywhere for a long time today."
At this time Hu Fei suppressed his anger instead, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two made it clear, I will borrow the ten thousand taels of silver from Master Feng." There was not a drop left, and a bunch of voices urged the buddy to bring the wine.
But the sound of dogs barking and yelling was getting closer and closer, and it sounded into the street.Hu Fei leaned against the window, and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old child running desperately from the corner.He was barefoot, his clothes were torn to pieces by the dogs' claws, blood was dripping all the way from behind, I don't know how he fought with all the dogs to escape here.Seven or eight zhang away behind him, more than a dozen jackal-like ferocious dogs came chasing him wildly, and they were about to pounce on Zhong Xiaoer in just a few moments. Zhong Xiaoer was exhausted at this time, and suddenly seeing his mother, he called out: "Mom!" His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up again.Although the fourth wife of Zhong was confused, she recognized her son, stood up abruptly, rushed over, and stood in front of the vicious dogs to protect her son.All the vicious dogs immediately stood still, baring their white teeth, whining and showing off their power. These vicious dogs are extremely ferocious, they usually hunt with Master Feng, and even tigers and bears dare to fight with them, but seeing Fourth Sister Zhong's demeanor of desperately protecting her son, they dare not approach them for a while.All the servants yelled loudly, urging the vicious dogs.Only a few whines were heard, and two big dogs like wolves jumped up and bit Zhong Xiaoer who was lying on the ground. Fourth Mrs. Zhong threw herself on her son.The first big dog opened its mouth and bit her shoulder.The second vicious dog bit her left leg.The two dogs tugged hard, just like hunting a white rabbit and a deer.All the family members cheered and cheered.Despite her own pain, Mrs. Zhong's Fourth Sister still protected her son from the vicious dogs.Zhong Xiaoer crawled out from under his mother, crying and fighting with all the vicious dogs to save his mother.In an instant, more than ten vicious dogs besieged from all directions. Although there were many idlers watching the excitement on the street, they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out due to Master Feng's power.You must know that in this situation, as long as anyone annoys these servants a little bit, with a gesture, all the vicious dogs will immediately pounce on them.Some couldn't bear to witness the tragedy, and hid their faces to avoid it.The servants were elated, as if they had caught a big prey. Hu Fei could see clearly from the restaurant, he didn't help people for a long time, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Feng Tiannan was really as vicious as the two businessmen said, so as not to misbelieve people's words and wrong the innocent.At first he heard the fat businessman tell about this tragic incident, and he was extremely annoyed. Later, he heard that Feng Tiannan had killed one person for no reason, and even sent a vicious dog to hunt down another child. He felt that even if there are vicious people in the world, It shouldn't be so much, some people will be skeptical until they see the vicious dog biting Zhong's mother and son. He grabbed the three pairs of chopsticks on the table and threw them down one by one with his right arm. But after hearing barking and whining screams, all six vicious dogs were hit in the forehead by chopsticks and fell to the ground and died.Hu Fei picked up the wine glasses on the table again, and threw them down the street. It was really close, with such force that the bottom of each wine glass hit the nose of every vicious dog.The three big dogs rolled over and died immediately without even barking.The rest of the vicious dogs held their tails between their hind legs and disappeared in a blink of an eye. There were six servants with the dog. Relying on Feng Tiannan's power, they were used to being aggressive in Foshan Town. Seeing Hu Fei's unique skill of killing dogs, they didn't know how to live or die. You beat Master Feng's dog to death, and I want you to pay for it." Everyone was wearing single-bladed iron chains, and they took them out one after another, swarming up the stairs. When all the drinkers saw this battle, there was a sudden chaos.The "Hero Building" is Feng Tiannan's property. The shopkeeper, the waiter, the food delivery person, the chef and the second cook, when they see Feng's servants go upstairs to fetch people, they each take fire forks, kitchen knives, and iron bars Help each other.Hu Fei saw it and just sneered slightly. But seeing the six servants rushing to him, the leader shook the iron chain and shouted: "Stinky boy, let's go with the master." Hu Fei thought to himself: "A servant of a squire dares to chain people , this mansion surnamed Feng, is it the yamen of Foshan Town?" He didn't even stand up, and hit the servant's left cheek with his backhand, and when he retracted his palm, he touched the "Purple Palace" on his front neck and the "Wind Palace" on the back of his head. Fu" two acupoints were clicked.These are two big holes on the body, the servant stood there dumbfounded, unable to move. At that time, the second and third servants hadn't seen it clearly, and each attacked with single-handed swords from left and right.Hu Fei saw that the two of them were quite powerful when they slashed with two swords. It was obvious that they had practiced martial arts for several years. He slapped the two servants in a daze.The remaining three servants saw that the momentum was wrong, one turned around and wanted to leave, and the other shouted: "Feng Qiye, come and see what kind of evil this is." That Feng Qi is Feng Tiannan's distant brother, who works as the shopkeeper of this hero restaurant. He has no martial arts, but he is extremely clever. He was standing at the top of the building at this time, and he saw that Hu Fei's martial arts is very good, so he grabbed it immediately. Taking two steps forward, he clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that the hero arrived today, Shu Feng has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai..." Seeing the three servants slowly moving towards the top of the building, Hu Fei wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, so he immediately took the iron chain from the servant who was standing still beside him, rolled it on the ground, pulled it back, and the iron chain had wrapped around the three servants. They have six legs, but when they heard the sound of "ah, ah, ah", the three of them fell to the ground and fell into a pile, and they were dragged by him together.Hu Fei picked up the two ends of the iron chain and tied a dead knot. He ignored Feng Qi and poured himself a drink. Although the guys in the Yingxiong Building saw Hu Fei's powerful shots, they thought that a hero could not be defeated by many people, so they held their own guys and formed a formation. Hu Fei drank a glass of wine and asked: "Who are you, Feng Tiannan?" Feng Qi smiled and said: "Master Feng is my brother, do you recognize him?" Hu Fei said: "I don't know, you go Tell him to come and see me." Feng Qi was angry, and secretly said: "You can invite Master Feng? Even if you come to kowtow, I don't know if he will see you or not?" But she still said with a smile on her face. : "Please tell me your honorable name, please let me know." Hu Fei said: "My surname is Ba, the one who kills chickens and plucks their feathers." Feng Qi muttered to herself: "Why do you have such a strange surname?" With a smile, he said: "It turned out to be Lord Ba. Rare things are precious. Master Ba's surname There are few in the south." Hu Fei said: "Yes, as the saying goes, rare things are the most precious, and the missing sentence is 'phoenix hair is rare', and my name is 'phoenix hair'." Feng Qi said with a smile: " Elegant, elegant!" Suddenly changed his mind: "No, he said the word 'plucking phoenix hair'. Didn't he intend to seek bad luck and trouble?" His face changed, and he said sharply: "Who the hell is your honor? Why do you do it?" Hu Fei laughed and said, "I have heard that there are some evil phoenixes in Foshan Town, and since I am called Plucking Phoenix, I have to come and pluck some of them for fun." Feng Qi took a step back, choked, took out a soft whip from his waist, waved his left hand, telling his subordinates to be careful, his right wrist shook, and the soft whip slammed down on Hu Fei's head with a gust of wind. Hu Fei has made up his mind: "Feng Tiannan alone can't do so many evils. All of his accomplices deserve death. There is no need to be merciful when you start today." , gently pulled inward.Feng Qi couldn't stand still, and rushed forward.Hu Fei patted him on the shoulder with his left hand, but he felt a great force pressing down, and his knees softened involuntarily, and he fell to the ground.Hu Fei laughed and said, "Don't dare!" He rolled the thirteen-section soft whip around him, and tied him to the foot of a table of the Eight Immortals. All the staff in the restaurant were about to jump on their hands, when they suddenly saw such a change, they all stopped in fright. Hu Fei pointed to a fat cook and shouted: "Hey, bring the kitchen knife." The fat cook opened his mouth wide, not daring to disobey, and handed over the kitchen knife in his hand.Hu Fei asked: "What material do you use for frying the tenderloin?" The fat cook said: "Use the best lean meat on both sides of the spine on the pig's back. Do you want sweet and sour, salt and pepper, deep-fried, or stir-fried?" Hu Fei stretched out his hand, With a sneering sound, the clothes on Feng Qi's back were torn apart, revealing his fat and white back. He touched his back and said, "Is this where the knife was cut?" The fat cook opened his mouth even wider. Dare to answer?Feng Qi kowtowed again and again, and shouted: "Hero, spare your life!" Hu Fei thought to himself: "It's okay to spare your life, but if I don't give you some suffering, wouldn't there be no reward for doing evil?" Together with the kitchen knife, he cut a long line beside his spine. With a long wound, he asked: "Is half a catty enough?" The cook said dumbfoundedly: "It's enough for one person to eat!" Feng Qi was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, but he felt severe pain in his back, and said that he had really cut half a catty of tenderloin for him, only to hear Hu Fei ask again: "What seasonings are used for frying pork liver? What seasonings are used for steaming pig brains? "Feng Qi thought: "It's fine to fry the tenderloin. The fried pork liver and steamed pig's brain are two things. Is there any left for my old life?" , shouted: "If you have something to do, please tell the hero, just spare the villain's life." Seeing that he was scared enough, Hu Fei shouted: "Do you still dare to help that Feng Tiannan do evil?" Feng Qi hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare." Hu Fei said: "Okay, quickly drive away the people upstairs and in the private seat. Guests, none of the guests in the lobby and downstairs are allowed to leave." Feng Qi shouted: "Man, follow this hero's orders quickly. Quick! Quick!" The drinkers upstairs are either rich lords or wealthy businessmen. They are all afraid of things. When they see a fight, they want to escape. He left in a hurry.The guests in the lobby downstairs are all poor men, and seven or eight out of ten have suffered from Feng Qi's loss. Seeing that someone came to ask for trouble today, they are really happy, and they all want to stay and watch the excitement. Hu Fei shouted: "I am treating guests today, and all the money for dinner and drinks of my friends will be counted in my account. You are not allowed to charge a penny, so quickly bring out the wine jar and cook the best dishes to respect the guests, and kill the nine vicious dogs on the street." Slaughter it, and invite everyone to eat roasted dog meat." He ordered, and Feng Qi agreed.When the guys acted a little later, Hu Fei raised the kitchen knife and asked the fat cook, "What ingredients are used for braised large intestines? What ingredients are used for fried kidneys?" The cook replied truthfully, using a pair of large intestines and two kidneys.Feng Qi was so shocked that his face paled, and he couldn't stop urging him. Seeing that Hu Fei was so fierce, the six family members didn't know how he was going to deal with him. Their hearts were like fifteen buckets fetching water, ups and downs, they peeked at Hu Fei's face, and then looked at each other, just anxious in their hearts: "Feng Why didn't the master come to save people? If it's a little later, this fierce god will come to deal with us." Seeing that all the staff had followed his instructions, Hu Fei strode downstairs and poured a large bowl of wine , Said: "Today, my little brother treats guests, everyone, drink as much as you want, and you can call what you want. If there is any neglect in the restaurant, I will set it on fire later." Under the coercion, no one dared to speak up.
Hu Fei went back upstairs, untied the acupoints of the three servants, put the iron chains around their necks respectively, connected with the other three servants, pulled the six of them downstairs together, and asked, "Fengtian Nankai's Where is the pawn shop? I want to be six vicious dogs." Then a drinker pointed out the way and said, "Go east and cross three side streets, and that high wall is there." Hu Fei said, "Thank you!" The six left.A group of spectators followed from afar, wanting to see how the living people behaved. Hu Fei held the six iron chains with one hand, came to the "hero pawn", and shouted loudly: "The hero is coming!" He led six servants, walked to the high counter, and said: "Chao Feng, be six vicious dogs!" , one thousand taels of silver each." Chao Feng sitting in the cupboard was shocked. Everyone in Foshan town knew that this "hero pawn" was opened by Master Feng. For more than ten years, no one dared to come here to fool around. ?Taking a closer look, he recognized that the six people led by him were the servants of Fengfu. This made him even more surprised, and said, "You...you...what are you doing?" Hu Fei shouted, "Do you have ears?" ? I will be six vicious dogs, each with one thousand taels, a total of six thousand taels of silver. This deal is cheap for you." Knowing that he came to make trouble on purpose, the court heard that he was coming to mess around, so he whispered to the court priest next to him, and ordered him to call the guarding martial artist to dismiss the lunatic, and said politely to Hu Fei: "The pawn rules, live things cannot be pawned." Please forgive me." Hu Fei said: "Okay, if you don't accept the live dog, then I will treat it as a dead dog." The six servants were shocked and shouted together: "Master Yu, please take it quickly, it is important to save your life." But how shrewd and meticulous is the court servant of the pawn, how could he just send out six thousand taels of silver casually, and just said with a smile: "Please sit down, don't you need a cup of tea?" Hu Fei said: "Get rid of the live dog first." I'm a dead dog, I'll drink your tea again." Looking around, he had some calculations in his heart, walked to the door in two steps, grabbed the edge of the door and lifted it up, and lifted a black painted door down.Seeing that things were getting more and more wrong, Yu Chaofeng shouted: "Hey, hello, what are you doing, this guest?" Hu Fei ignored him, kicked the six servants to the ground with one leg on the left and one leg on the right, and turned sideways The door panel was pressed against the six people.Yu Chaofeng shouted: "Oh, don't mess around, do you know where this is? Whose property is this pawn?" Hu Fei thought to himself: "Look at your sour and mean look, there must be many poor people in Foshan Town who have suffered from you." Walking to the counter, he grabbed his braid with both hands, and pulled it from behind the tall counter. When he came out, he was also pressed under the door panel, then walked to the door, picked up the tall and big stone drum by the door, and slammed it on the door panel with a bang.This stone drum weighed more than five hundred catties, when it fell on it, the seven people under the door screamed in unison, and some were so painful that they feces and urine flowed out.The idlers outside the door and the court officials at the counter also screamed in unison. Hu Fei picked up another stone drum again, and shouted: "The vile dog is not dead yet, so I have to add another stone drum!" Everyone shouted in unison, he embraced the stone drum with both hands, and pressed it against the door panel.At this time, more than a thousand catties had been weighed on the door panel. Although seven people shared the burden, everyone's muscles and bones were already crushed.Yu Chaofeng yelled: "My good man, spare me! Take the silver out!" Hu Fei said: "What? You still want me to take out the silver?" : "No...no...I asked the pawn to take the money out..." Seeing that the situation was dangerous in the pawnshop, the court officials had to take out one letter of silver, one hundred taels, a total of sixty. Hu Fei piled all the silver on the door panel and said: "Six evil dogs are worth six thousand taels." Is there another court tribute? Is a great court tribute pawned by a hero, not as good as a vicious dog? It should be worth at least three thousand taels." The six thousand taels of silver weighed more than three hundred and seventy catties, and it weighed On the door panel, the seven people below couldn't stand it even more. In the midst of the chaos, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "Which bastard ate the gall of a leopard, and messed around in Master Laifeng's shop?" The crowd split to two sides, and two men broke in.They are as tall and burly as the two, dressed in black and black trousers, densely packed with white buttons, and dressed as martial artists.Hu Fei flickered, and rushed behind the two of them, grabbing the back of their necks with each hand.Those two are the guardians of the hero's pawn. They have nothing to do, but they are gambling in the casino. They heard someone messing around in the pawn shop, so they hurried back, but they didn't know the figure and face of their opponents. Grab the key point and lift it up. Hu Fei shook his hands, and seven or eight Tianjiu cards fell from one body, while two dice fell from the other.Hu Fei smiled and said: "Okay, so it's two gamblers!" He bumped the two head to head, made two bangs, and threw the two on the door panel.Although the martial arts of these two guardian martial artists are mediocre, their bodies weigh about three pounds.Another four hundred catties were added to the door panel, and only the seven people below were able to groan without sound. The big shopkeeper of the pawn was afraid of killing people, so the busy man brought out another three thousand taels of silver, and kept bowing and bowing to Hu Fei, laughing and saying good things, wondering in his heart: "Why doesn't Master Feng personally come to cook?" Hu Fei ordered people to cook dogs in the restaurant, and came to be a pawn in the pawn, with the intention of motivating Feng Tiannan to come out.Ever since he was in danger in the iron hall of Merchant Fort when he was young, he has acted extremely cautiously, thinking that since Feng Tiannan is known as "Nan Batian", the layout of his home is probably more powerful than that of Merchant Fort. As the saying goes: "A strong dragon does not fight Local snake." If you go to the door to make things difficult for him, I'm afraid you will fall into his tricks, so make trouble in the restaurant first, then in the pawn shop, but Feng Tiannan never shows up, it's quite unexpected.Seeing that another three thousand taels of silver had been moved in, he shook his head and said, "Put them all together on the door panel." The fellows knew that once they put it on, another one hundred and eighty-nine catties would be added, but they dared not disobey them, so they had to put it together. The bag was put on gently. Hu Fei exclaimed: "Is your pawn opened by the emperor? How do you do things like this?" The big shopkeeper laughed and said: "Don't dare, don't dare. What else does the good guy want?" Hu Fei said: "When things Didn’t you pawn the tickets?” The big shopkeeper thought that the six servants had thick skins and thick flesh, and it would be okay to press it for a while, and Yu Chaofeng was afraid that he would die in a blink of an eye, so he shouted repeatedly: “Quickly write the pawn tickets. " The court servant at the counter didn't know how to write. Seeing that the big shopkeeper was urging him, he had to write: "Today, six members of the family of Feng's family are in custody, and one of them is Yu Chaofeng. The skin is broken and the flesh is rotten. Two whole. Annual interest is two cents, redemption by ticket. Insects, ants and rats bite, soldiers lose, each has his own destiny, no disputes. Three years, if you don’t redeem the pawn.” It turns out that the rules of pawnshops in the world, even if you pawn a brand new and complete pawn He also wrote the words "mutilated and tattered" on the things, so as to avoid disputes at the time of redemption.Pawn shop is a living person, which has never happened before. The court officials are used to writing, and they also add the eight-character comment of "broken skin, rotten limbs and limbs". 大掌柜将当票恭恭敬敬递了过去，胡斐一笑收下，提起两名武师，喝道：“将石鼓取下来。”两名武师兀自头晕眼花，却自知一人搬一个石鼓不够力气，只得二人合力，一个个的抬了下来。胡斐道：“好，咱们到赌场去逛逛。你两条大汉，抬着本钱跟我来。” 两名武师给他治得服服帖帖，一前一后抬着门板，端了九千两纹银，跟在胡斐后面。看热闹的闲人见他赤手空拳，斗赢了佛山镇上第一家大典当，无不兴高采烈，但怕凤老爷见怪，却不敢走近和他说话，听他说还要去大闹赌场，更是人人精神百倍，跟在后面的人越来越多。
那赌场开设在佛山镇头一座破败的庙宇里，大门上写着“英雄会馆”四个大字。胡斐大踏步走进门去，只见大殿上围着黑压压一堆人，正在掷骰子押大小。 开宝的宝官浓眉大眼，穿着佛山镇的名产胶绸衫裤，敞开胸膛，露出黑毵毵的两丛长毛，见到胡斐进来，后面跟着两名武师，抬着一块大门板，放着近百封银子，心里一怔，叫道：“蛇皮张，你做什么？”那姓张的武师努一努嘴，道：“这位好汉爷要来玩一手。” 那宝官听蛇皮张说得恭敬，素知凤老爷交游广阔，眼前这人年纪虽轻，多半是他老人家的朋友，心想：“好哇，你是抬了银子给我们场里送来啦。开饭店的不怕大肚汉，开赌场的岂怕财主爷？再抬了两门板来也不嫌多。”咧嘴一笑，说道：“这位朋友贵姓？请坐请坐。” 胡斐大剌剌的坐了下来，说道：“我姓拔，名字叫作凤毛。”那宝官一愣，心道：“啊，你是存心来跟我们过不去了。”拿起骰盅一摇，放下来合在桌上，四周数十名赌客纷纷下注，有的押“大”，有的押“小”。 胡斐有意要延挨时刻，等那凤天南亲自出来，好与他相斗，当下笑嘻嘻的坐着，并不下注。只见宝官揭开盅来，三枚骰子共是十一点，买“大”的赌客纷纷欢呼，买小的却是垂头丧气。那宝官连开三次，都是“大”。 胡斐心想：“十赌九骗，这凤天南既然如此横法，所开的赌场鬼花样必多，待我查出弊端，大闹他一场。”当下注目看那骰盅，又倾听骰子落下的声音，要查究骰中是否灌铅，听了片刻，觉得骰子倒无花巧。他练过暗器听风术，耳音极精，纵在黑暗之中，若有暗器来袭，一听声音，立知暗器来势方位，是何种类，手劲如何。如赵半山这等大行家，当日在商家堡中一听到身后暗器射到，即猜到对方是嵩山少林寺不疑大师的弟子，暗器听风之术，一精至斯。胡斐的耳音较之赵半山虽然尚有不及，但听了一阵，竟已听出三枚骰子向天的是什么点数。要知骰子共有六面，每面点数不同，一点的一面与六点的一面落下之时，声音略有差别，虽然所差微细之极，但在内力精深、暗器功夫极佳之人听来，自能分辨。 胡斐又让他开了几盅，试得无误，笑道：“宝官，限注么？”那宝官大声道：“广东通省都知，南霸天的赌场决不限注，否则还能叫英雄会馆么？”胡斐微微一笑，伸出大拇指一翘，道：“是啊，若是限注，岂不成了狗熊会馆？”听他骰子落定，乃是十六点，回头叫道：“蛇皮张，押一千两'大'。” 那宝官虽在赌场中混了数十年，但骰子到底开大开小，也是要到揭盅才知，见他一押便是一千两，不由得一怔，揭开盅来，只见三枚骰子两枚六点，一枚四点，不由得脸都白了，当下由下手赔了一千两。接下去摇骰时声音错落，胡斐听不明白，袖手不下，开出来是个八点小。跟着他押了二千两“小”，盅子揭起，果然是四点“小”。 如此只押得五六次，场中已赔了一万一千两。那宝官满手是汗，举起骰盅猛摇。胡斐听得明白。盅中正是十四点，说道：“蛇皮张，把二万两都给押上'大'！”两名武师将门板上的银子一封封的尽往桌上送。宝官掀起骰盅一边，眼角一张，已看到骰子共是十四点。他手脚也真利落，小指在盅边轻轻一推，盅边在骰子上一碰，一枚六点的骰子翻了一转，十四点变成九点，那是“小”了。这一记手法，若不是数十年苦功，也真不能练成，比之于武功，可算得是厉害之极的绝招。 那宝官见他浑然不觉，心想这次胜定你了，得意洋洋的道：“大家下定注了？”胡斐左手将一大堆银子往桌子中心一推，说道：“这里是二万两银子，是'小'你便尽数吃去。”宝官叫道：“好！好！吃了！”揭开宝盅，不禁张大了口合不拢来，只见三枚骰子共是十二点。 众赌客早已罢手不赌，望着桌上这数十封银两，无不惊心动魄，突见开出来的是“大”，不约而同的齐声惊呼：“啊！”这声音中又是惊奇，又是艳羡。要知他们一生之中，从未见过如此的大赌。胡斐哈哈大笑，一只脚提起来踏在凳上，叫道：“二万两银子，快赔来！” 原来那宝官作弊之时，手脚虽快，却哪里瞒得过胡斐的眼光？他虽瞧不出那宝官如何捣鬼，但料定三枚骰子定是给他从“大”换成了“小”，他左手推动银两之际，右手伸到桌底，隔着桌面在盅底轻轻一弹。三枚骰子本来一枚是三，一枚是一，一枚是五，合共九点。他这一弹力道用得恰到好处。三枚骰子一齐翻了个身，变成四点、六点、两点，合成十二点“大”。 那宝官脸如土色，砰的一下，伸手在桌上一拍，喝道：“蛇皮张，这人是什么路数？到凤老爷的场子来搅局？”蛇皮张哭丧着脸道：“我……我……也不知道啊。”胡斐道：“快赔，快赔，二万两银子，老爷赢得够了，收手不赌啦！”那宝官在桌上又是砰的一击，骂道：“契弟，你搞鬼出老千，当老子不知道么？”胡斐虽不明白他骂人的言语，料想决非好话，笑道：“好，你爱拍桌子，咱们赌拍桌子也成！”右手在桌子角上一拍，桌子角儿应手而落，跟着左手一拍，另一只角又掉在地上。 这一手惊人武功显了出来，这宝官哪里还敢凶横？突然飞起一脚，要想将桌子踢翻，乘乱溜走。几个地痞赌客跟着起哄：“抢银子啊！”胡斐右手一伸，已将宝官踢出的一脚抓住，倒提起来，将他头顶往桌面一桩。这一下力道奇重，桌面登时给他脑门撞破一洞，脑袋插到了桌面之下，肩膀以上的身子却倒栽在桌上，手脚乱舞，蔚为奇观。 众赌客齐声惊叫，纷纷退开。突然大门中抢进一个青年，二十岁上下年纪，身穿蓝绸长衫，右手摇着折扇，叫道：“是哪一个好朋友光降，小可未曾远迎，要请恕罪啊！”胡斐见这人步履轻捷，脸上英气勃勃，显是武功不弱，不觉微微一怔。
那少年收拢折扇，向胡斐一揖，说道：“尊兄贵姓大名？”胡斐见他彬彬有礼，便还了一揖，道：“没请教阁下尊姓。”那少年道：“小弟姓凤。”胡斐双眉一竖，哈哈笑道：“如此说来，在下的姓名未免失敬了。我姓拔，名叫凤毛。老兄与凤天南怎生称呼？”那少年道：“那是家父。家父听说尊驾光临，本该亲来迎接，不巧恰有要务缠身，特命小弟前来屈驾，请到舍下喝一杯水酒。” 他转头向英雄当铺的两名护院喝道：“定是你们对拔爷无礼，惹得他老人家生气，还不赔罪？”那两位护院喏喏连声，一齐打躬请安，道：“小人有眼不识泰山。”胡斐微微冷笑，心想：“瞧你们闹些什么玄虚。” 那宝官的脑袋插在赌桌上，兀自双脚乱舞，啊啊大叫。那少年抓住他背心，轻轻向上一提，将他倒过身来，那桌子却仍旧连在他项颈之中，只是四只桌脚向天，犹似颈中戴了一个大枷。那宝官双手托住桌子，这情状当真是十分滑稽，十分狼狈，向那少年道：“大爷，你来得正好，他……他……”眼望胡斐，却不敢再说下去了。 胡斐道：“你不赌了，是不是？那也成，我赢的钱呢？英雄会馆想赖帐么？”那少年骂宝官道：“拔爷赢了多少银子，快取出来！慢吞吞的干什么？”说着抓住桌子两角，双手向外一分，喀的一响，桌面竟被他撕成了两边。这一手功夫甚是干净利落，赌场中各人一齐喝采。 那宝官有小主撑腰，胆子又大了起来，向胡斐恶狠狠地望了一眼，道：“这人出老千。”那少年叱道：“胡说！人家是英雄好汉，怎会出老千？馆里银子够么？若是不够，快叫人往当铺取去。”胡斐不懂“出老千”三字是何意思，但想来多半是“欺骗作弊”之意，心想：“这少年武功不弱，行事也有担当，我可不能丝毫大意了。”只听那少年道：“拔爷的银子，决不敢短了半文。这些市井小人目光如豆，从来没见过真好汉大英雄的气概，拔爷不必理会。现下便请拔爷移玉舍下如何？” 他明知“拔凤毛”三字决非真名，乃是存心来向凤家寻事生非，但还是拔爷前，拔爷后，丝毫不以为意。胡斐道：“你们这里凤凰太多，不知大爷的尊号如何称呼？”那少年似乎没听出他言语中意含讥讽，连说：“不敢，不敢。小弟名叫一鸣。”胡斐道：“在下赌得兴起，还要在这里玩几个时辰，不如请你爸爸到这里会面吧。”那宝官听他说还要赌，吓得面如土色，忙道：“不，不……” 凤一鸣脸一沉，叱道：“我们在说话，也有你插嘴的份儿？”转头向胡斐陪笑道：“家父对朋友从来不敢失礼，得知拔爷光临佛山，心中喜欢得了不得，恨不得立时过来相见，只是恰好今日京中来了两位御前侍卫，家父须得陪伴，实是分身不开。请拔爷包涵原谅。”胡斐冷笑一声，道：“御前侍卫，果然是好大的官儿。一鸣兄，小弟在江湖上有个外号，你想必知道。”凤一鸣正自嘀咕：“不知此人真姓名究是什么，若能摸清他几分底细，对付起来就容易得多了。”听他提起外号，忙道：“小弟孤陋寡闻，请拔爷告知。”胡斐“哼”的一声，道：“亏你也是武林中人，怎地连大名鼎鼎的'杀官殴吏拔凤毛'也不知道？”凤一鸣一怔，道：“取笑了。” 胡斐左手倏地伸出，抓住他的衣襟，喝道：“咦，好大的胆子！你怎敢将我的一块凤凰肉吃下了肚中。”凤一鸣再也忍耐不住，右手虚出一掌，左手便来拿他手腕。胡斐手掌疾翻，当真快如电火，叫人猝不及防，啪的一声，凤一鸣左颊已吃了一记巴掌，顺手将他右手拿住，喝道：“还我的凤凰肉来。” 凤一鸣家学渊源，武功竟自不弱，只觉自己右掌宛似落入了一双铁钳之中，筋骨都欲碎裂，急忙飞起右足，向胡斐小腹上踢去。胡斐提起脚来，从空一足踏落，正好踏住他的足背。凤一鸣脚上又如被铁锤一击，忍不住“啊”的一声叫了出来。胡斐左手反手一掌，凤一鸣右颊早着，双颊就如猪肝般又红又肿。 胡斐大声叫道：“各位好朋友听着，我千里迢迢地从北方来到佛山，向这里的锺阿四锺老兄买到一块凤凰肉，却让这厮一口偷吃了。你们说该打不该打？”赌场中众人面面相觑，不敢说话，心中都知他是在为被逼死的锺小三出气伸冤。凤一鸣给他踏住一足，握住一手，已是全身无法动弹。 只见人丛中转出一个老者，手中拿着一根短烟袋，正是英雄当铺的大掌柜。他给胡斐逼去了九千两银子，哪里便肯罢休？一面命人急报凤天南，一面悄悄跟到英雄会馆来瞧他的动静，这时见小主人被擒，忙上前陪笑道：“好汉爷，这是我们凤老爷的独生爱子，凤老爷当他犹如性命一般。好汉爷要银子使用，尽管吩咐，可请快放了我们少主人。”胡斐道：“谁叫他偷吃了我的凤凰肉？是凤老爷的独生爱子，便能偷吃人家东西么？”大掌柜笑道：“好汉取笑了。天下哪有什么凤凰肉？便算有，我们小主人也决不会偷吃。”胡斐喝道：“这凤凰肉乃大补之剂，真是无价之宝，一吃下肚，立时满面通红，肥胖起来。你们大家看，他的脸是否比平时红了胖了？还说没偷吃我的凤凰肉么？”大掌柜陪笑道：“这是好汉爷下手打肿的，不与凤凰肉相干。”胡斐道：“大家来评个理，这小子可偷吃了我的凤凰肉么？” 在赌场中胡混之人，一小半是凤天南的手下，另一半不是地痞流氓，便是破落户子弟，人人畏惧凤天南的威势，听胡斐如此询问，七嘴八舌地说道：“没见到你有什么凤凰肉。”“凤大爷决不能偷你东西吃。”“凤老爷府上的东西还怕少了么？怎能偷人东西？”“笑话笑话！”“好汉快放了他，别闹出大事来。” 胡斐道：“好，你们大家说他没偷吃，我难道赖了他？咱们到北帝庙判个理去。” 众人一怔，立时想起锺四嫂在北帝庙中刀剖儿腹之事。那大掌柜暗暗吃惊，心想：“一到北帝庙，那可要闹得不可收拾。”不住向胡斐打躬作揖，道：“好汉爷说得对，我们都错了。少主人吃了好汉的凤凰肉，好汉要怎么陪，便怎样赔就是。”胡斐冷笑道：“你倒说得容易。这里人人不服，不到北帝庙评个明白，我今后还有脸见人么？”说着将凤一鸣挟在腋下，银子也不要了，大踏步走出赌场，向途人问了路，径向北帝庙而来。
那北帝庙建构宏伟，好大一座神祠，进门院子中一个大水塘，塘中石龟石蛇，昂然盘踞。 胡斐拉着凤一鸣来到大殿，只见神像石板上血迹殷然，想起锺四嫂被逼切剖儿腹的惨事，胸间热血上冲，将凤一鸣往地上一推，抬头向着北帝神像，朗声说道：“北帝爷，北帝爷，你威灵显赫，替小民有冤伸冤，有仇报仇。这贼厮鸟偷吃了我的凤凰肉，但旁人都说他没吃……” 他话未说完，猛觉背后风声飒然，左右有人双双来袭。他头一低，身子一缩，那二人已然扑空。他双手分别在二人背上一推，砰的一声，二人脸对脸猛地一撞，登时晕去。只听得一人高声怒吼，又扑了上来。 胡斐听他脚步沉重，来势威猛，心想：“这人功夫倒也不弱。”一侧身间，乘势一带，只见刀光闪动，一条肥水牯似的粗壮大汉已在身旁掠过，一刀径向凤一鸣头顶砍落。总算他武功不低，危急之际手臂一偏，一刀砍在地下青砖之上，砖屑纷飞。胡斐叫道：“妙极！”左足伸出，已踏住他的手肘。 那大汉狂吼一声，放手撒刀。胡斐右足一挑，单刀飞将起来，顺手接过，笑道：“我正愁没刀剖他肚子，你巴巴的赶来送刀，当真有劳了。” 那大汉怒极，使力挣扎。胡斐左腿一松，竟被他翻身跃起，原来这大汉蛮力过人。他右足一撑，双手十指如钩，在空中径向胡斐扑到。胡斐一转身，已绕到他的身后，左手搭他肥臀之上，借力一送，喝道：“上天吧！”这一送有八成倒是借了那大汉本身纵跃之势。那大汉身不由主，向上疾飞，旁观众人大叫声中，眼见要穿破庙顶而出。他忙伸出双手，抱住了大殿正中的横梁，总算没撞破脑门，但就这么挂在半空，向下一望，离地数丈。他没练过轻功，身子又重，外家硬功虽然不弱，却不敢跃下。这大汉在五虎门中位居第三，乃是凤天南的得力助手，佛山镇上人人惧怕，这时挂在梁上，上不得，下不来，极是狼狈。 胡斐拉住凤一鸣的衣襟，向上一扯，嗤的一响，露出肚腹肌肤，横过刀锋，向挤在殿上的众人叫道：“他是否吃了凤凰肉，大家睁大眼睛瞧个明白，别说我冤枉了好人。” 旁边四五个乡绅模样的人一齐来劝，都道：“好汉爷高抬贵手，若是剖了肚子，人死不能复生，那可不得了。”胡斐心想：“这些人鬼鬼祟祟，定与凤天南一鼻孔出气。”回头怒喝：“那锺四嫂剖孩子肚子，你们何以便不劝了？有钱子弟的性命值钱，穷人的孩子便不是性命？你们快回家去，每人把自己的儿子送一个来，若不送到，我自己上门找寻。我的凤凰肉若不是他吃的，便是你们儿子吃了，我一个个剖开肚子来，查个明白。”这几句话直把那几个乡绅吓得魂不附体，再也不敢开口。
正乱间，庙门外一阵喧哗，抢进一群人来。当先一人身材高大，穿一件古铜色缎袍，双手一分，大殿上已有七八人向两旁跌出数尺。 胡斐见了他这等气派威势，又是如此横法，心想：“啊哈，正点子终于到了。”眼光向他从头上瞧到脚下，又从脚下看到头上。只见他上唇留着两撇花白小髭，约莫五十来岁年纪，右腕戴一只汉玉镯，左手拿着一个翡翠鼻烟壶，俨然是个养尊处优的大乡绅模样，实不似个坐地分赃的武林恶霸，只是脚步凝稳，双目有威，多半武功高强。 这人正是五虎门掌门人南霸天凤天南，他陪着京里来的两名侍卫在府内饮宴，听得下人一连串的来报，有人混闹酒楼、当铺、赌场。他不愿在御前侍卫跟前失了气派，一直置之不理，心想这些小事，手下人定能打发，直听到儿子遭擒，被拿到北帝庙中要开膛剖肚，这才匆匆赶来。他还道是极厉害的对头来到寻仇，哪知一看胡斐，竟是个素不相识的乡下少年，当下更不打话，俯身便要扶起儿子。 胡斐心想：“这老家伙好狂，竟将我视如无物。”待他弯腰俯身，一掌便往他腰间拍去。凤天南竟不回身，左手回掌，想将他手掌格开。胡斐一催劲力，啪的一声，双掌相交，凤天南身子一晃，险些跌在儿子身上，才知这乡下少年原来是个劲敌。当下顾不得去扶儿子，右手横拳，猛击胡斐腰眼。 胡斐见他变招迅捷，拳来如风，果然是名家身手，挥刀往他拳头上疾砍下去。这一刀虽然凶猛，凤天南也只须一缩手便能避过，但凤一鸣横卧在地，他缩手不打紧，儿子却要受了这一刀。当此危急之际，他应变倒也奇速，一扯神坛前的桌披，倒卷上来，格开了这一刀。胡斐叫道：“好！”左手伸出，已抓住桌披一端。两人同时向外拉扯，啪啦的一响，桌披从中断为两截。 此时凤天南哪里还有半点小觑之心？向后跃开半丈，早有弟子将他的兵刃黄金棍送在手中。这金棍长达七尺，径一寸有半，通体黄金铸成，可算得武林中第一豪阔富丽的沉重兵器。他将金棍一抖，指着胡斐说道：“阁下是哪一位老师的门下？凤某什么地方得罪了阁下，却要请教。”胡斐道：“我一块凤凰肉给你儿子偷吃了，非剖开他肚子瞧个明白不可。” 凤天南凭一条熟铜棍打遍岭南无敌手，这才手创五虎门，在佛山镇定居，家业大发之后，将熟铜棍改为黄金棍。武家所用之棍，以齐眉最为寻常，依身材伸缩，短者五尺不足，长者六尺有余，凤天南这条棍却长达七尺，黄金又较镔铁重近两倍，仗着他膂力过人，使开来两丈之内一团黄光，端的是厉害之极。 他听了胡斐之言，知道今日已不能善罢，金棍起处，手腕抖了两抖，棍端将神坛上两点烛火点熄了，叫道：“在下素来爱交朋友，与尊驾素不相识，何苦为一个穷家小子伤了江湖义气？是友是敌，但凭尊驾一言而决。” 要知金棍乃极沉重的兵器，他一抖棍花而打灭烛火，妙在不碰损半点蜡烛，烛台毫不摇晃，手法之准，可说是极罕见的功夫。他言语中软里带硬，要胡斐知难而退，不必多管闲事。胡斐笑道：“是啊，你的话再对也没有，你只须割一块凤凰肉赔我，我立即拍拍灰尘走路，你看可好？”凤天南脸一沉，喝道：“既是如此，咱们兵刃上分高下便了。”说着提棍跃向院子。 胡斐提起凤一鸣往地下一摔，将单刀插在他的身旁，喝道：“你若是逃走，便要你老子抵命！”空手走出，大声道：“老爷行不改姓，坐不改名，大名鼎鼎'杀官殴吏拔凤毛'便是。凤毛拔不到，
But the sound of dogs barking and yelling was getting closer and closer, and it sounded into the street.Hu Fei leaned against the window, and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old child running desperately from the corner.He was barefoot, his clothes were torn to pieces by the dogs' claws, blood was dripping all the way from behind, I don't know how he fought with all the dogs to escape here.Seven or eight zhang away behind him, more than a dozen jackal-like ferocious dogs came chasing him wildly, and they were about to pounce on Zhong Xiaoer in just a few moments. Zhong Xiaoer was exhausted at this time, and suddenly seeing his mother, he called out: "Mom!" His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up again.Although the fourth wife of Zhong was confused, she recognized her son, stood up abruptly, rushed over, and stood in front of the vicious dogs to protect her son.All the vicious dogs immediately stood still, baring their white teeth, whining and showing off their power. These vicious dogs are extremely ferocious, they usually hunt with Master Feng, and even tigers and bears dare to fight with them, but seeing Fourth Sister Zhong's demeanor of desperately protecting her son, they dare not approach them for a while.All the servants yelled loudly, urging the vicious dogs.Only a few whines were heard, and two big dogs like wolves jumped up and bit Zhong Xiaoer who was lying on the ground. Fourth Mrs. Zhong threw herself on her son.The first big dog opened its mouth and bit her shoulder.The second vicious dog bit her left leg.The two dogs tugged hard, just like hunting a white rabbit and a deer.All the family members cheered and cheered.Despite her own pain, Mrs. Zhong's Fourth Sister still protected her son from the vicious dogs.Zhong Xiaoer crawled out from under his mother, crying and fighting with all the vicious dogs to save his mother.In an instant, more than ten vicious dogs besieged from all directions. Although there were many idlers watching the excitement on the street, they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out due to Master Feng's power.You must know that in this situation, as long as anyone annoys these servants a little bit, with a gesture, all the vicious dogs will immediately pounce on them.Some couldn't bear to witness the tragedy, and hid their faces to avoid it.The servants were elated, as if they had caught a big prey. Hu Fei could see clearly from the restaurant, he didn't help people for a long time, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Feng Tiannan was really as vicious as the two businessmen said, so as not to misbelieve people's words and wrong the innocent.At first he heard the fat businessman tell about this tragic incident, and he was extremely annoyed. Later, he heard that Feng Tiannan had killed one person for no reason, and even sent a vicious dog to hunt down another child. He felt that even if there are vicious people in the world, It shouldn't be so much, some people will be skeptical until they see the vicious dog biting Zhong's mother and son. He grabbed the three pairs of chopsticks on the table and threw them down one by one with his right arm. But after hearing barking and whining screams, all six vicious dogs were hit in the forehead by chopsticks and fell to the ground and died.Hu Fei picked up the wine glasses on the table again, and threw them down the street. It was really close, with such force that the bottom of each wine glass hit the nose of every vicious dog.The three big dogs rolled over and died immediately without even barking.The rest of the vicious dogs held their tails between their hind legs and disappeared in a blink of an eye. There were six servants with the dog. Relying on Feng Tiannan's power, they were used to being aggressive in Foshan Town. Seeing Hu Fei's unique skill of killing dogs, they didn't know how to live or die. You beat Master Feng's dog to death, and I want you to pay for it." Everyone was wearing single-bladed iron chains, and they took them out one after another, swarming up the stairs. When all the drinkers saw this battle, there was a sudden chaos.The "Hero Building" is Feng Tiannan's property. The shopkeeper, the waiter, the food delivery person, the chef and the second cook, when they see Feng's servants go upstairs to fetch people, they each take fire forks, kitchen knives, and iron bars Help each other.Hu Fei saw it and just sneered slightly. But seeing the six servants rushing to him, the leader shook the iron chain and shouted: "Stinky boy, let's go with the master." Hu Fei thought to himself: "A servant of a squire dares to chain people , this mansion surnamed Feng, is it the yamen of Foshan Town?" He didn't even stand up, and hit the servant's left cheek with his backhand, and when he retracted his palm, he touched the "Purple Palace" on his front neck and the "Wind Palace" on the back of his head. Fu" two acupoints were clicked.These are two big holes on the body, the servant stood there dumbfounded, unable to move. At that time, the second and third servants hadn't seen it clearly, and each attacked with single-handed swords from left and right.Hu Fei saw that the two of them were quite powerful when they slashed with two swords. It was obvious that they had practiced martial arts for several years. He slapped the two servants in a daze.The remaining three servants saw that the momentum was wrong, one turned around and wanted to leave, and the other shouted: "Feng Qiye, come and see what kind of evil this is." That Feng Qi is Feng Tiannan's distant brother, who works as the shopkeeper of this hero restaurant. He has no martial arts, but he is extremely clever. He was standing at the top of the building at this time, and he saw that Hu Fei's martial arts is very good, so he grabbed it immediately. Taking two steps forward, he clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that the hero arrived today, Shu Feng has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai..." Seeing the three servants slowly moving towards the top of the building, Hu Fei wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, so he immediately took the iron chain from the servant who was standing still beside him, rolled it on the ground, pulled it back, and the iron chain had wrapped around the three servants. They have six legs, but when they heard the sound of "ah, ah, ah", the three of them fell to the ground and fell into a pile, and they were dragged by him together.Hu Fei picked up the two ends of the iron chain and tied a dead knot. He ignored Feng Qi and poured himself a drink. Although the guys in the Yingxiong Building saw Hu Fei's powerful shots, they thought that a hero could not be defeated by many people, so they held their own guys and formed a formation. Hu Fei drank a glass of wine and asked: "Who are you, Feng Tiannan?" Feng Qi smiled and said: "Master Feng is my brother, do you recognize him?" Hu Fei said: "I don't know, you go Tell him to come and see me." Feng Qi was angry, and secretly said: "You can invite Master Feng? Even if you come to kowtow, I don't know if he will see you or not?" But she still said with a smile on her face. : "Please tell me your honorable name, please let me know." Hu Fei said: "My surname is Ba, the one who kills chickens and plucks their feathers." Feng Qi muttered to herself: "Why do you have such a strange surname?" With a smile, he said: "It turned out to be Lord Ba. Rare things are precious. Master Ba's surname There are few in the south." Hu Fei said: "Yes, as the saying goes, rare things are the most precious, and the missing sentence is 'phoenix hair is rare', and my name is 'phoenix hair'." Feng Qi said with a smile: " Elegant, elegant!" Suddenly changed his mind: "No, he said the word 'plucking phoenix hair'. Didn't he intend to seek bad luck and trouble?" His face changed, and he said sharply: "Who the hell is your honor? Why do you do it?" Hu Fei laughed and said, "I have heard that there are some evil phoenixes in Foshan Town, and since I am called Plucking Phoenix, I have to come and pluck some of them for fun." Feng Qi took a step back, choked, took out a soft whip from his waist, waved his left hand, telling his subordinates to be careful, his right wrist shook, and the soft whip slammed down on Hu Fei's head with a gust of wind. Hu Fei has made up his mind: "Feng Tiannan alone can't do so many evils. All of his accomplices deserve death. There is no need to be merciful when you start today." , gently pulled inward.Feng Qi couldn't stand still, and rushed forward.Hu Fei patted him on the shoulder with his left hand, but he felt a great force pressing down, and his knees softened involuntarily, and he fell to the ground.Hu Fei laughed and said, "Don't dare!" He rolled the thirteen-section soft whip around him, and tied him to the foot of a table of the Eight Immortals. All the staff in the restaurant were about to jump on their hands, when they suddenly saw such a change, they all stopped in fright. Hu Fei pointed to a fat cook and shouted: "Hey, bring the kitchen knife." The fat cook opened his mouth wide, not daring to disobey, and handed over the kitchen knife in his hand.Hu Fei asked: "What material do you use for frying the tenderloin?" The fat cook said: "Use the best lean meat on both sides of the spine on the pig's back. Do you want sweet and sour, salt and pepper, deep-fried, or stir-fried?" Hu Fei stretched out his hand, With a sneering sound, the clothes on Feng Qi's back were torn apart, revealing his fat and white back. He touched his back and said, "Is this where the knife was cut?" The fat cook opened his mouth even wider. Dare to answer?Feng Qi kowtowed again and again, and shouted: "Hero, spare your life!" Hu Fei thought to himself: "It's okay to spare your life, but if I don't give you some suffering, wouldn't there be no reward for doing evil?" Together with the kitchen knife, he cut a long line beside his spine. With a long wound, he asked: "Is half a catty enough?" The cook said dumbfoundedly: "It's enough for one person to eat!" Feng Qi was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, but he felt severe pain in his back, and said that he had really cut half a catty of tenderloin for him, only to hear Hu Fei ask again: "What seasonings are used for frying pork liver? What seasonings are used for steaming pig brains? "Feng Qi thought: "It's fine to fry the tenderloin. The fried pork liver and steamed pig's brain are two things. Is there any left for my old life?" , shouted: "If you have something to do, please tell the hero, just spare the villain's life." Seeing that he was scared enough, Hu Fei shouted: "Do you still dare to help that Feng Tiannan do evil?" Feng Qi hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare." Hu Fei said: "Okay, quickly drive away the people upstairs and in the private seat. Guests, none of the guests in the lobby and downstairs are allowed to leave." Feng Qi shouted: "Man, follow this hero's orders quickly. Quick! Quick!" The drinkers upstairs are either rich lords or wealthy businessmen. They are all afraid of things. When they see a fight, they want to escape. He left in a hurry.The guests in the lobby downstairs are all poor men, and seven or eight out of ten have suffered from Feng Qi's loss. Seeing that someone came to ask for trouble today, they are really happy, and they all want to stay and watch the excitement. Hu Fei shouted: "I am treating guests today, and all the money for dinner and drinks of my friends will be counted in my account. You are not allowed to charge a penny, so quickly bring out the wine jar and cook the best dishes to respect the guests, and kill the nine vicious dogs on the street." Slaughter it, and invite everyone to eat roasted dog meat." He ordered, and Feng Qi agreed.When the guys acted a little later, Hu Fei raised the kitchen knife and asked the fat cook, "What ingredients are used for braised large intestines? What ingredients are used for fried kidneys?" The cook replied truthfully, using a pair of large intestines and two kidneys.Feng Qi was so shocked that his face paled, and he couldn't stop urging him. Seeing that Hu Fei was so fierce, the six family members didn't know how he was going to deal with him. Their hearts were like fifteen buckets fetching water, ups and downs, they peeked at Hu Fei's face, and then looked at each other, just anxious in their hearts: "Feng Why didn't the master come to save people? If it's a little later, this fierce god will come to deal with us." Seeing that all the staff had followed his instructions, Hu Fei strode downstairs and poured a large bowl of wine , Said: "Today, my little brother treats guests, everyone, drink as much as you want, and you can call what you want. If there is any neglect in the restaurant, I will set it on fire later." Under the coercion, no one dared to speak up.
Hu Fei went back upstairs, untied the acupoints of the three servants, put the iron chains around their necks respectively, connected with the other three servants, pulled the six of them downstairs together, and asked, "Fengtian Nankai's Where is the pawn shop? I want to be six vicious dogs." Then a drinker pointed out the way and said, "Go east and cross three side streets, and that high wall is there." Hu Fei said, "Thank you!" The six left.A group of spectators followed from afar, wanting to see how the living people behaved. Hu Fei held the six iron chains with one hand, came to the "hero pawn", and shouted loudly: "The hero is coming!" He led six servants, walked to the high counter, and said: "Chao Feng, be six vicious dogs!" , one thousand taels of silver each." Chao Feng sitting in the cupboard was shocked. Everyone in Foshan town knew that this "hero pawn" was opened by Master Feng. For more than ten years, no one dared to come here to fool around. ?Taking a closer look, he recognized that the six people led by him were the servants of Fengfu. This made him even more surprised, and said, "You...you...what are you doing?" Hu Fei shouted, "Do you have ears?" ? I will be six vicious dogs, each with one thousand taels, a total of six thousand taels of silver. This deal is cheap for you." Knowing that he came to make trouble on purpose, the court heard that he was coming to mess around, so he whispered to the court priest next to him, and ordered him to call the guarding martial artist to dismiss the lunatic, and said politely to Hu Fei: "The pawn rules, live things cannot be pawned." Please forgive me." Hu Fei said: "Okay, if you don't accept the live dog, then I will treat it as a dead dog." The six servants were shocked and shouted together: "Master Yu, please take it quickly, it is important to save your life." But how shrewd and meticulous is the court servant of the pawn, how could he just send out six thousand taels of silver casually, and just said with a smile: "Please sit down, don't you need a cup of tea?" Hu Fei said: "Get rid of the live dog first." I'm a dead dog, I'll drink your tea again." Looking around, he had some calculations in his heart, walked to the door in two steps, grabbed the edge of the door and lifted it up, and lifted a black painted door down.Seeing that things were getting more and more wrong, Yu Chaofeng shouted: "Hey, hello, what are you doing, this guest?" Hu Fei ignored him, kicked the six servants to the ground with one leg on the left and one leg on the right, and turned sideways The door panel was pressed against the six people.Yu Chaofeng shouted: "Oh, don't mess around, do you know where this is? Whose property is this pawn?" Hu Fei thought to himself: "Look at your sour and mean look, there must be many poor people in Foshan Town who have suffered from you." Walking to the counter, he grabbed his braid with both hands, and pulled it from behind the tall counter. When he came out, he was also pressed under the door panel, then walked to the door, picked up the tall and big stone drum by the door, and slammed it on the door panel with a bang.This stone drum weighed more than five hundred catties, when it fell on it, the seven people under the door screamed in unison, and some were so painful that they feces and urine flowed out.The idlers outside the door and the court officials at the counter also screamed in unison. Hu Fei picked up another stone drum again, and shouted: "The vile dog is not dead yet, so I have to add another stone drum!" Everyone shouted in unison, he embraced the stone drum with both hands, and pressed it against the door panel.At this time, more than a thousand catties had been weighed on the door panel. Although seven people shared the burden, everyone's muscles and bones were already crushed.Yu Chaofeng yelled: "My good man, spare me! Take the silver out!" Hu Fei said: "What? You still want me to take out the silver?" : "No...no...I asked the pawn to take the money out..." Seeing that the situation was dangerous in the pawnshop, the court officials had to take out one letter of silver, one hundred taels, a total of sixty. Hu Fei piled all the silver on the door panel and said: "Six evil dogs are worth six thousand taels." Is there another court tribute? Is a great court tribute pawned by a hero, not as good as a vicious dog? It should be worth at least three thousand taels." The six thousand taels of silver weighed more than three hundred and seventy catties, and it weighed On the door panel, the seven people below couldn't stand it even more. In the midst of the chaos, someone outside the door suddenly shouted: "Which bastard ate the gall of a leopard, and messed around in Master Laifeng's shop?" The crowd split to two sides, and two men broke in.They are as tall and burly as the two, dressed in black and black trousers, densely packed with white buttons, and dressed as martial artists.Hu Fei flickered, and rushed behind the two of them, grabbing the back of their necks with each hand.Those two are the guardians of the hero's pawn. They have nothing to do, but they are gambling in the casino. They heard someone messing around in the pawn shop, so they hurried back, but they didn't know the figure and face of their opponents. Grab the key point and lift it up. Hu Fei shook his hands, and seven or eight Tianjiu cards fell from one body, while two dice fell from the other.Hu Fei smiled and said: "Okay, so it's two gamblers!" He bumped the two head to head, made two bangs, and threw the two on the door panel.Although the martial arts of these two guardian martial artists are mediocre, their bodies weigh about three pounds.Another four hundred catties were added to the door panel, and only the seven people below were able to groan without sound. The big shopkeeper of the pawn was afraid of killing people, so the busy man brought out another three thousand taels of silver, and kept bowing and bowing to Hu Fei, laughing and saying good things, wondering in his heart: "Why doesn't Master Feng personally come to cook?" Hu Fei ordered people to cook dogs in the restaurant, and came to be a pawn in the pawn, with the intention of motivating Feng Tiannan to come out.Ever since he was in danger in the iron hall of Merchant Fort when he was young, he has acted extremely cautiously, thinking that since Feng Tiannan is known as "Nan Batian", the layout of his home is probably more powerful than that of Merchant Fort. As the saying goes: "A strong dragon does not fight Local snake." If you go to the door to make things difficult for him, I'm afraid you will fall into his tricks, so make trouble in the restaurant first, then in the pawn shop, but Feng Tiannan never shows up, it's quite unexpected.Seeing that another three thousand taels of silver had been moved in, he shook his head and said, "Put them all together on the door panel." The fellows knew that once they put it on, another one hundred and eighty-nine catties would be added, but they dared not disobey them, so they had to put it together. The bag was put on gently. Hu Fei exclaimed: "Is your pawn opened by the emperor? How do you do things like this?" The big shopkeeper laughed and said: "Don't dare, don't dare. What else does the good guy want?" Hu Fei said: "When things Didn’t you pawn the tickets?” The big shopkeeper thought that the six servants had thick skins and thick flesh, and it would be okay to press it for a while, and Yu Chaofeng was afraid that he would die in a blink of an eye, so he shouted repeatedly: “Quickly write the pawn tickets. " The court servant at the counter didn't know how to write. Seeing that the big shopkeeper was urging him, he had to write: "Today, six members of the family of Feng's family are in custody, and one of them is Yu Chaofeng. The skin is broken and the flesh is rotten. Two whole. Annual interest is two cents, redemption by ticket. Insects, ants and rats bite, soldiers lose, each has his own destiny, no disputes. Three years, if you don’t redeem the pawn.” It turns out that the rules of pawnshops in the world, even if you pawn a brand new and complete pawn He also wrote the words "mutilated and tattered" on the things, so as to avoid disputes at the time of redemption.Pawn shop is a living person, which has never happened before. The court officials are used to writing, and they also add the eight-character comment of "broken skin, rotten limbs and limbs". 大掌柜将当票恭恭敬敬递了过去，胡斐一笑收下，提起两名武师，喝道：“将石鼓取下来。”两名武师兀自头晕眼花，却自知一人搬一个石鼓不够力气，只得二人合力，一个个的抬了下来。胡斐道：“好，咱们到赌场去逛逛。你两条大汉，抬着本钱跟我来。” 两名武师给他治得服服帖帖，一前一后抬着门板，端了九千两纹银，跟在胡斐后面。看热闹的闲人见他赤手空拳，斗赢了佛山镇上第一家大典当，无不兴高采烈，但怕凤老爷见怪，却不敢走近和他说话，听他说还要去大闹赌场，更是人人精神百倍，跟在后面的人越来越多。
那赌场开设在佛山镇头一座破败的庙宇里，大门上写着“英雄会馆”四个大字。胡斐大踏步走进门去，只见大殿上围着黑压压一堆人，正在掷骰子押大小。 开宝的宝官浓眉大眼，穿着佛山镇的名产胶绸衫裤，敞开胸膛，露出黑毵毵的两丛长毛，见到胡斐进来，后面跟着两名武师，抬着一块大门板，放着近百封银子，心里一怔，叫道：“蛇皮张，你做什么？”那姓张的武师努一努嘴，道：“这位好汉爷要来玩一手。” 那宝官听蛇皮张说得恭敬，素知凤老爷交游广阔，眼前这人年纪虽轻，多半是他老人家的朋友，心想：“好哇，你是抬了银子给我们场里送来啦。开饭店的不怕大肚汉，开赌场的岂怕财主爷？再抬了两门板来也不嫌多。”咧嘴一笑，说道：“这位朋友贵姓？请坐请坐。” 胡斐大剌剌的坐了下来，说道：“我姓拔，名字叫作凤毛。”那宝官一愣，心道：“啊，你是存心来跟我们过不去了。”拿起骰盅一摇，放下来合在桌上，四周数十名赌客纷纷下注，有的押“大”，有的押“小”。 胡斐有意要延挨时刻，等那凤天南亲自出来，好与他相斗，当下笑嘻嘻的坐着，并不下注。只见宝官揭开盅来，三枚骰子共是十一点，买“大”的赌客纷纷欢呼，买小的却是垂头丧气。那宝官连开三次，都是“大”。 胡斐心想：“十赌九骗，这凤天南既然如此横法，所开的赌场鬼花样必多，待我查出弊端，大闹他一场。”当下注目看那骰盅，又倾听骰子落下的声音，要查究骰中是否灌铅，听了片刻，觉得骰子倒无花巧。他练过暗器听风术，耳音极精，纵在黑暗之中，若有暗器来袭，一听声音，立知暗器来势方位，是何种类，手劲如何。如赵半山这等大行家，当日在商家堡中一听到身后暗器射到，即猜到对方是嵩山少林寺不疑大师的弟子，暗器听风之术，一精至斯。胡斐的耳音较之赵半山虽然尚有不及，但听了一阵，竟已听出三枚骰子向天的是什么点数。要知骰子共有六面，每面点数不同，一点的一面与六点的一面落下之时，声音略有差别，虽然所差微细之极，但在内力精深、暗器功夫极佳之人听来，自能分辨。 胡斐又让他开了几盅，试得无误，笑道：“宝官，限注么？”那宝官大声道：“广东通省都知，南霸天的赌场决不限注，否则还能叫英雄会馆么？”胡斐微微一笑，伸出大拇指一翘，道：“是啊，若是限注，岂不成了狗熊会馆？”听他骰子落定，乃是十六点，回头叫道：“蛇皮张，押一千两'大'。” 那宝官虽在赌场中混了数十年，但骰子到底开大开小，也是要到揭盅才知，见他一押便是一千两，不由得一怔，揭开盅来，只见三枚骰子两枚六点，一枚四点，不由得脸都白了，当下由下手赔了一千两。接下去摇骰时声音错落，胡斐听不明白，袖手不下，开出来是个八点小。跟着他押了二千两“小”，盅子揭起，果然是四点“小”。 如此只押得五六次，场中已赔了一万一千两。那宝官满手是汗，举起骰盅猛摇。胡斐听得明白。盅中正是十四点，说道：“蛇皮张，把二万两都给押上'大'！”两名武师将门板上的银子一封封的尽往桌上送。宝官掀起骰盅一边，眼角一张，已看到骰子共是十四点。他手脚也真利落，小指在盅边轻轻一推，盅边在骰子上一碰，一枚六点的骰子翻了一转，十四点变成九点，那是“小”了。这一记手法，若不是数十年苦功，也真不能练成，比之于武功，可算得是厉害之极的绝招。 那宝官见他浑然不觉，心想这次胜定你了，得意洋洋的道：“大家下定注了？”胡斐左手将一大堆银子往桌子中心一推，说道：“这里是二万两银子，是'小'你便尽数吃去。”宝官叫道：“好！好！吃了！”揭开宝盅，不禁张大了口合不拢来，只见三枚骰子共是十二点。 众赌客早已罢手不赌，望着桌上这数十封银两，无不惊心动魄，突见开出来的是“大”，不约而同的齐声惊呼：“啊！”这声音中又是惊奇，又是艳羡。要知他们一生之中，从未见过如此的大赌。胡斐哈哈大笑，一只脚提起来踏在凳上，叫道：“二万两银子，快赔来！” 原来那宝官作弊之时，手脚虽快，却哪里瞒得过胡斐的眼光？他虽瞧不出那宝官如何捣鬼，但料定三枚骰子定是给他从“大”换成了“小”，他左手推动银两之际，右手伸到桌底，隔着桌面在盅底轻轻一弹。三枚骰子本来一枚是三，一枚是一，一枚是五，合共九点。他这一弹力道用得恰到好处。三枚骰子一齐翻了个身，变成四点、六点、两点，合成十二点“大”。 那宝官脸如土色，砰的一下，伸手在桌上一拍，喝道：“蛇皮张，这人是什么路数？到凤老爷的场子来搅局？”蛇皮张哭丧着脸道：“我……我……也不知道啊。”胡斐道：“快赔，快赔，二万两银子，老爷赢得够了，收手不赌啦！”那宝官在桌上又是砰的一击，骂道：“契弟，你搞鬼出老千，当老子不知道么？”胡斐虽不明白他骂人的言语，料想决非好话，笑道：“好，你爱拍桌子，咱们赌拍桌子也成！”右手在桌子角上一拍，桌子角儿应手而落，跟着左手一拍，另一只角又掉在地上。 这一手惊人武功显了出来，这宝官哪里还敢凶横？突然飞起一脚，要想将桌子踢翻，乘乱溜走。几个地痞赌客跟着起哄：“抢银子啊！”胡斐右手一伸，已将宝官踢出的一脚抓住，倒提起来，将他头顶往桌面一桩。这一下力道奇重，桌面登时给他脑门撞破一洞，脑袋插到了桌面之下，肩膀以上的身子却倒栽在桌上，手脚乱舞，蔚为奇观。 众赌客齐声惊叫，纷纷退开。突然大门中抢进一个青年，二十岁上下年纪，身穿蓝绸长衫，右手摇着折扇，叫道：“是哪一个好朋友光降，小可未曾远迎，要请恕罪啊！”胡斐见这人步履轻捷，脸上英气勃勃，显是武功不弱，不觉微微一怔。
那少年收拢折扇，向胡斐一揖，说道：“尊兄贵姓大名？”胡斐见他彬彬有礼，便还了一揖，道：“没请教阁下尊姓。”那少年道：“小弟姓凤。”胡斐双眉一竖，哈哈笑道：“如此说来，在下的姓名未免失敬了。我姓拔，名叫凤毛。老兄与凤天南怎生称呼？”那少年道：“那是家父。家父听说尊驾光临，本该亲来迎接，不巧恰有要务缠身，特命小弟前来屈驾，请到舍下喝一杯水酒。” 他转头向英雄当铺的两名护院喝道：“定是你们对拔爷无礼，惹得他老人家生气，还不赔罪？”那两位护院喏喏连声，一齐打躬请安，道：“小人有眼不识泰山。”胡斐微微冷笑，心想：“瞧你们闹些什么玄虚。” 那宝官的脑袋插在赌桌上，兀自双脚乱舞，啊啊大叫。那少年抓住他背心，轻轻向上一提，将他倒过身来，那桌子却仍旧连在他项颈之中，只是四只桌脚向天，犹似颈中戴了一个大枷。那宝官双手托住桌子，这情状当真是十分滑稽，十分狼狈，向那少年道：“大爷，你来得正好，他……他……”眼望胡斐，却不敢再说下去了。 胡斐道：“你不赌了，是不是？那也成，我赢的钱呢？英雄会馆想赖帐么？”那少年骂宝官道：“拔爷赢了多少银子，快取出来！慢吞吞的干什么？”说着抓住桌子两角，双手向外一分，喀的一响，桌面竟被他撕成了两边。这一手功夫甚是干净利落，赌场中各人一齐喝采。 那宝官有小主撑腰，胆子又大了起来，向胡斐恶狠狠地望了一眼，道：“这人出老千。”那少年叱道：“胡说！人家是英雄好汉，怎会出老千？馆里银子够么？若是不够，快叫人往当铺取去。”胡斐不懂“出老千”三字是何意思，但想来多半是“欺骗作弊”之意，心想：“这少年武功不弱，行事也有担当，我可不能丝毫大意了。”只听那少年道：“拔爷的银子，决不敢短了半文。这些市井小人目光如豆，从来没见过真好汉大英雄的气概，拔爷不必理会。现下便请拔爷移玉舍下如何？” 他明知“拔凤毛”三字决非真名，乃是存心来向凤家寻事生非，但还是拔爷前，拔爷后，丝毫不以为意。胡斐道：“你们这里凤凰太多，不知大爷的尊号如何称呼？”那少年似乎没听出他言语中意含讥讽，连说：“不敢，不敢。小弟名叫一鸣。”胡斐道：“在下赌得兴起，还要在这里玩几个时辰，不如请你爸爸到这里会面吧。”那宝官听他说还要赌，吓得面如土色，忙道：“不，不……” 凤一鸣脸一沉，叱道：“我们在说话，也有你插嘴的份儿？”转头向胡斐陪笑道：“家父对朋友从来不敢失礼，得知拔爷光临佛山，心中喜欢得了不得，恨不得立时过来相见，只是恰好今日京中来了两位御前侍卫，家父须得陪伴，实是分身不开。请拔爷包涵原谅。”胡斐冷笑一声，道：“御前侍卫，果然是好大的官儿。一鸣兄，小弟在江湖上有个外号，你想必知道。”凤一鸣正自嘀咕：“不知此人真姓名究是什么，若能摸清他几分底细，对付起来就容易得多了。”听他提起外号，忙道：“小弟孤陋寡闻，请拔爷告知。”胡斐“哼”的一声，道：“亏你也是武林中人，怎地连大名鼎鼎的'杀官殴吏拔凤毛'也不知道？”凤一鸣一怔，道：“取笑了。” 胡斐左手倏地伸出，抓住他的衣襟，喝道：“咦，好大的胆子！你怎敢将我的一块凤凰肉吃下了肚中。”凤一鸣再也忍耐不住，右手虚出一掌，左手便来拿他手腕。胡斐手掌疾翻，当真快如电火，叫人猝不及防，啪的一声，凤一鸣左颊已吃了一记巴掌，顺手将他右手拿住，喝道：“还我的凤凰肉来。” 凤一鸣家学渊源，武功竟自不弱，只觉自己右掌宛似落入了一双铁钳之中，筋骨都欲碎裂，急忙飞起右足，向胡斐小腹上踢去。胡斐提起脚来，从空一足踏落，正好踏住他的足背。凤一鸣脚上又如被铁锤一击，忍不住“啊”的一声叫了出来。胡斐左手反手一掌，凤一鸣右颊早着，双颊就如猪肝般又红又肿。 胡斐大声叫道：“各位好朋友听着，我千里迢迢地从北方来到佛山，向这里的锺阿四锺老兄买到一块凤凰肉，却让这厮一口偷吃了。你们说该打不该打？”赌场中众人面面相觑，不敢说话，心中都知他是在为被逼死的锺小三出气伸冤。凤一鸣给他踏住一足，握住一手，已是全身无法动弹。 只见人丛中转出一个老者，手中拿着一根短烟袋，正是英雄当铺的大掌柜。他给胡斐逼去了九千两银子，哪里便肯罢休？一面命人急报凤天南，一面悄悄跟到英雄会馆来瞧他的动静，这时见小主人被擒，忙上前陪笑道：“好汉爷，这是我们凤老爷的独生爱子，凤老爷当他犹如性命一般。好汉爷要银子使用，尽管吩咐，可请快放了我们少主人。”胡斐道：“谁叫他偷吃了我的凤凰肉？是凤老爷的独生爱子，便能偷吃人家东西么？”大掌柜笑道：“好汉取笑了。天下哪有什么凤凰肉？便算有，我们小主人也决不会偷吃。”胡斐喝道：“这凤凰肉乃大补之剂，真是无价之宝，一吃下肚，立时满面通红，肥胖起来。你们大家看，他的脸是否比平时红了胖了？还说没偷吃我的凤凰肉么？”大掌柜陪笑道：“这是好汉爷下手打肿的，不与凤凰肉相干。”胡斐道：“大家来评个理，这小子可偷吃了我的凤凰肉么？” 在赌场中胡混之人，一小半是凤天南的手下，另一半不是地痞流氓，便是破落户子弟，人人畏惧凤天南的威势，听胡斐如此询问，七嘴八舌地说道：“没见到你有什么凤凰肉。”“凤大爷决不能偷你东西吃。”“凤老爷府上的东西还怕少了么？怎能偷人东西？”“笑话笑话！”“好汉快放了他，别闹出大事来。” 胡斐道：“好，你们大家说他没偷吃，我难道赖了他？咱们到北帝庙判个理去。” 众人一怔，立时想起锺四嫂在北帝庙中刀剖儿腹之事。那大掌柜暗暗吃惊，心想：“一到北帝庙，那可要闹得不可收拾。”不住向胡斐打躬作揖，道：“好汉爷说得对，我们都错了。少主人吃了好汉的凤凰肉，好汉要怎么陪，便怎样赔就是。”胡斐冷笑道：“你倒说得容易。这里人人不服，不到北帝庙评个明白，我今后还有脸见人么？”说着将凤一鸣挟在腋下，银子也不要了，大踏步走出赌场，向途人问了路，径向北帝庙而来。
那北帝庙建构宏伟，好大一座神祠，进门院子中一个大水塘，塘中石龟石蛇，昂然盘踞。 胡斐拉着凤一鸣来到大殿，只见神像石板上血迹殷然，想起锺四嫂被逼切剖儿腹的惨事，胸间热血上冲，将凤一鸣往地上一推，抬头向着北帝神像，朗声说道：“北帝爷，北帝爷，你威灵显赫，替小民有冤伸冤，有仇报仇。这贼厮鸟偷吃了我的凤凰肉，但旁人都说他没吃……” 他话未说完，猛觉背后风声飒然，左右有人双双来袭。他头一低，身子一缩，那二人已然扑空。他双手分别在二人背上一推，砰的一声，二人脸对脸猛地一撞，登时晕去。只听得一人高声怒吼，又扑了上来。 胡斐听他脚步沉重，来势威猛，心想：“这人功夫倒也不弱。”一侧身间，乘势一带，只见刀光闪动，一条肥水牯似的粗壮大汉已在身旁掠过，一刀径向凤一鸣头顶砍落。总算他武功不低，危急之际手臂一偏，一刀砍在地下青砖之上，砖屑纷飞。胡斐叫道：“妙极！”左足伸出，已踏住他的手肘。 那大汉狂吼一声，放手撒刀。胡斐右足一挑，单刀飞将起来，顺手接过，笑道：“我正愁没刀剖他肚子，你巴巴的赶来送刀，当真有劳了。” 那大汉怒极，使力挣扎。胡斐左腿一松，竟被他翻身跃起，原来这大汉蛮力过人。他右足一撑，双手十指如钩，在空中径向胡斐扑到。胡斐一转身，已绕到他的身后，左手搭他肥臀之上，借力一送，喝道：“上天吧！”这一送有八成倒是借了那大汉本身纵跃之势。那大汉身不由主，向上疾飞，旁观众人大叫声中，眼见要穿破庙顶而出。他忙伸出双手，抱住了大殿正中的横梁，总算没撞破脑门，但就这么挂在半空，向下一望，离地数丈。他没练过轻功，身子又重，外家硬功虽然不弱，却不敢跃下。这大汉在五虎门中位居第三，乃是凤天南的得力助手，佛山镇上人人惧怕，这时挂在梁上，上不得，下不来，极是狼狈。 胡斐拉住凤一鸣的衣襟，向上一扯，嗤的一响，露出肚腹肌肤，横过刀锋，向挤在殿上的众人叫道：“他是否吃了凤凰肉，大家睁大眼睛瞧个明白，别说我冤枉了好人。” 旁边四五个乡绅模样的人一齐来劝，都道：“好汉爷高抬贵手，若是剖了肚子，人死不能复生，那可不得了。”胡斐心想：“这些人鬼鬼祟祟，定与凤天南一鼻孔出气。”回头怒喝：“那锺四嫂剖孩子肚子，你们何以便不劝了？有钱子弟的性命值钱，穷人的孩子便不是性命？你们快回家去，每人把自己的儿子送一个来，若不送到，我自己上门找寻。我的凤凰肉若不是他吃的，便是你们儿子吃了，我一个个剖开肚子来，查个明白。”这几句话直把那几个乡绅吓得魂不附体，再也不敢开口。
正乱间，庙门外一阵喧哗，抢进一群人来。当先一人身材高大，穿一件古铜色缎袍，双手一分，大殿上已有七八人向两旁跌出数尺。 胡斐见了他这等气派威势，又是如此横法，心想：“啊哈，正点子终于到了。”眼光向他从头上瞧到脚下，又从脚下看到头上。只见他上唇留着两撇花白小髭，约莫五十来岁年纪，右腕戴一只汉玉镯，左手拿着一个翡翠鼻烟壶，俨然是个养尊处优的大乡绅模样，实不似个坐地分赃的武林恶霸，只是脚步凝稳，双目有威，多半武功高强。 这人正是五虎门掌门人南霸天凤天南，他陪着京里来的两名侍卫在府内饮宴，听得下人一连串的来报，有人混闹酒楼、当铺、赌场。他不愿在御前侍卫跟前失了气派，一直置之不理，心想这些小事，手下人定能打发，直听到儿子遭擒，被拿到北帝庙中要开膛剖肚，这才匆匆赶来。他还道是极厉害的对头来到寻仇，哪知一看胡斐，竟是个素不相识的乡下少年，当下更不打话，俯身便要扶起儿子。 胡斐心想：“这老家伙好狂，竟将我视如无物。”待他弯腰俯身，一掌便往他腰间拍去。凤天南竟不回身，左手回掌，想将他手掌格开。胡斐一催劲力，啪的一声，双掌相交，凤天南身子一晃，险些跌在儿子身上，才知这乡下少年原来是个劲敌。当下顾不得去扶儿子，右手横拳，猛击胡斐腰眼。 胡斐见他变招迅捷，拳来如风，果然是名家身手，挥刀往他拳头上疾砍下去。这一刀虽然凶猛，凤天南也只须一缩手便能避过，但凤一鸣横卧在地，他缩手不打紧，儿子却要受了这一刀。当此危急之际，他应变倒也奇速，一扯神坛前的桌披，倒卷上来，格开了这一刀。胡斐叫道：“好！”左手伸出，已抓住桌披一端。两人同时向外拉扯，啪啦的一响，桌披从中断为两截。 此时凤天南哪里还有半点小觑之心？向后跃开半丈，早有弟子将他的兵刃黄金棍送在手中。这金棍长达七尺，径一寸有半，通体黄金铸成，可算得武林中第一豪阔富丽的沉重兵器。他将金棍一抖，指着胡斐说道：“阁下是哪一位老师的门下？凤某什么地方得罪了阁下，却要请教。”胡斐道：“我一块凤凰肉给你儿子偷吃了，非剖开他肚子瞧个明白不可。” 凤天南凭一条熟铜棍打遍岭南无敌手，这才手创五虎门，在佛山镇定居，家业大发之后，将熟铜棍改为黄金棍。武家所用之棍，以齐眉最为寻常，依身材伸缩，短者五尺不足，长者六尺有余，凤天南这条棍却长达七尺，黄金又较镔铁重近两倍，仗着他膂力过人，使开来两丈之内一团黄光，端的是厉害之极。 他听了胡斐之言，知道今日已不能善罢，金棍起处，手腕抖了两抖，棍端将神坛上两点烛火点熄了，叫道：“在下素来爱交朋友，与尊驾素不相识，何苦为一个穷家小子伤了江湖义气？是友是敌，但凭尊驾一言而决。” 要知金棍乃极沉重的兵器，他一抖棍花而打灭烛火，妙在不碰损半点蜡烛，烛台毫不摇晃，手法之准，可说是极罕见的功夫。他言语中软里带硬，要胡斐知难而退，不必多管闲事。胡斐笑道：“是啊，你的话再对也没有，你只须割一块凤凰肉赔我，我立即拍拍灰尘走路，你看可好？”凤天南脸一沉，喝道：“既是如此，咱们兵刃上分高下便了。”说着提棍跃向院子。 胡斐提起凤一鸣往地下一摔，将单刀插在他的身旁，喝道：“你若是逃走，便要你老子抵命！”空手走出，大声道：“老爷行不改姓，坐不改名，大名鼎鼎'杀官殴吏拔凤毛'便是。凤毛拔不到，
