Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 34 The eldest brother of Chang'an South City Ranger, Gao Shugui
Growing up in Daliang, he likes to travel with Xia Shao.Heroes rarely have horses, and silver saddles are rich in gold.Riding out on horseback at dawn, listening to playing harps at night.

I don't regret myself when I'm drunk, I throw it with a sable fur.Life is full of promises, and incomprehension is light for worry.Yingfeng is full of population, with names all over Huangzhou.

At noon, the monk Jingming, who was wearing a gray robe, had arrived at Yongping Square in Nancheng dodgingly.Gao Shugui, the street tiger, lives in a house in Yongpingfang.

The vicinity of Gao Shugui's house is a bit desolate, and weeds have grown on the walls of the two houses next to him, and no one has cleaned them up.After Monk Jingming knocked vigorously on the door for a long time, a ranger with a bearded hat and bare arms ran out of the house and opened the door for him.

There is no way, although Chang'an City is said to be the richest place in the world, but not all the squares are very prosperous, and every inch of land is expensive.

You must know that Chang'an City has always had a saying that the east is rich and the west is rich, and the south is empty and the north is real.

It means that with Suzaku Street as the center, the east...especially the squares to the east of the Imperial City, such as Yongchang Square, Yongxing Square, and Daning Square are all rich and powerful.

For example, Pei Ji's family is here, and Fang Xuanling's family is also here.

And in the square city to the west of the imperial city, such as Ding'an Square, Xiude Square and the like, most of the people living in it are wealthy families.

However, regardless of whether it is the squares in the east or west of the imperial city, in short, as long as they are in the north, there are many people living in them, and some of them even have tens of thousands of people. There are not many people living in Guiyifang, and many of them are foreigners like Kunlun slaves, Tubo people, Shili people...

And places like Yongpingfang belong to that kind of desolate city. There may be hundreds of people living in a square, so they are valued by the rangers in Nancheng and become their lairs.

It must be explained here that you xiaer was a very characteristic appellation in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it was a collective term for some young people who were not doing their jobs.

And these rangers are also divided into several types...

The first type is the rich ranger, that is, the ranger who is the son of a rich and powerful family.

The foolish sons of these landlords are either brave and resolute, or donate money, or make friends with heroes, or make angry horses in fresh clothes, galloping in the city...

But they all have their own purpose in doing these things, such as gaining fame as an advanced level, or recruiting dead soldiers, and they have other plans. Even if they don't have these purposes, the life of a ranger is still a fashion for them The symbol of luxury, and a way of life that flaunts individuality.

Just like those rich second generations who show off their wealth now!
The second type is capable rangers, and most of these rangers will be active in frontier areas.

They are the true successors of the chivalrous spirit of the Han Dynasty. They are good at bow and horse, value promises, and despise life and death.

"Go out with a sword, and the lonely city will be surrounded.Kill people on the Liao River, and go back to Yuyang on horseback. '

For them, the life of a ranger is a way to change their social status by relying on their own courage.

The third type is the rangers who have neither money nor skills, and these guys are called evil young men.

As the name suggests, they are those idle rogues who roam the streets and markets every day, relying on group fights, collecting protection fees, kicking widows' doors, and digging graves for extinct families, barely maintaining their lives.

Up to now, these rangers can be called "a mixture of core gangs with the nature of the underworld and low-level street sneakers".

And the eldest brother of the villains in Nancheng, that is, the leading elder brother of these Nancheng rangers, is Gao Shugui, who is known as the Nancheng Jingjie Tiger.

Just when Monk Jingming followed the shirtless knight-errant into the mansion, before he reached the hall, he heard a burst of loud shouts coming from the hall.

"Lu! Lou! Lou..."

"Pheasant! Pheasant! Pheasant..."

"..."

Monk Jingming is very familiar with this voice, these rangers are just bored, gambling in the hall.

Xipu is a popular gambling tool in the Tang Dynasty. It is made of wood and looks like an almond. One side is white and the other side is black. A calf is painted on the black side and a pheasant is painted on the white side.

Generally speaking, Azalea is to be used in conjunction with Shuanglu, just like the current flying chess.

But Monk Jingming heard it casually, and he knew that none of the rangers inside used Shuanglu. They simply regarded the five scorpions as dice, and judged the size by the number of points thrown.

For example, a calf that is all black is the highest prize, called Lu, and four black and one white are second-class, called pheasants, so when they directly bet on the points, these people will call Lululu wherever they are, Pheasant Pheasant...

That's what the so-called Hulu Drinking Pheasant means!

It's the same as when people throw dice and shout 'six, six, give me a six'!

Sure enough, as soon as Monk Jingming walked into the door of the hall of the house, he saw twenty or thirty idlers in the street... The rangers were sitting in groups on the mats on the ground, and their faces were red. yelling.

Among these gambling rangers, there is one who is particularly tall, at least a head taller than the rangers around him.

He has a bronze complexion, bare upper body, wearing a pair of short-nosed trousers, with a lot of chest hair between his knotted and powerful arms. He has a jackal face and eagle eyes, and he looks proud.

At this time, he was also happily huddling with other people, shouting loudly.

"Colorful! Colorful! Colorful..."

"Brother..."

The ranger who brought Monk Jingming in entered the hall and shouted at the shirtless burly man.

"Monk Jingming from Zhuangyan Temple is looking for you."

"The monk of Zhuangyan Temple?"

The big man turned his head, glanced at Monk Jingming with contemptuous eyes, then got up nonchalantly, squeezed out from the crowd, grabbed a T-shirt on the other side shelf and put it on himself , sitting idle on a table on the side of the hall, nodding his chin towards Monk Jingming.

"Your Zhuangyan Temple is rich and powerful, and you have raised a lot of thugs yourself, so you won't find a certain family's head for trivial matters. Let's say, you want a certain brother to help you do something that you can't see."

"Brother Gao was joking..."

The shrewd monk clasped his hands together, saluted the big man, and then said respectfully.

"How can our Zhuangyan Temple let eldest brother do something shameful? It's just that there are some things that our temple is really inconvenient to come out to. Brother Gao must also know that now is the annual Buddha's birthday ceremony in my Zhuangyan Temple... ..."

"Stop it! You don't need to talk about some messy things here, and the certain family doesn't want to know!"

This big man with a strong body is Chang'an Nancheng Street Liuzi... You Xia'er's leading brother Gao Shugui waved his hand without hesitation, interrupting Monk Jingming's words.

"You just need to tell a certain family, what to do, how much, and that's enough!"

"All right!"

Monk Jingming, who was choked by Gao Shugui, fully demonstrated the grandeur of Buddhism. There was no look of anger on his face, and he still clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

"A Taoist priest in Chang'an Qingdu Temple took advantage of the time when the temple was holding the Buddha's birthday ceremony. The temple does not want to use any other means to avoid causing uneasiness among believers, so..."

"Understood!"

Gao Shugui touched his chin with his hand, with a playful smile on his face.

"That is to say, there is a Taoist priest blocking the door of your monastery to grab business. You want to drive him away, but you don't want people to know that you drove him away..."

"Brother Gao is really smart."

Monk Jingming looked at Gao Shugui sincerely with a smile on his face.

"Brother, can you do this?"

"Do it! Why not do it..."

Gao Shugui replied lazily.

"As long as the money is in place, don't say drive that Taoist priest away from the gate of your temple, even if you buy that Taoist priest's life, we will take it. Tell me, how much is it?"

Monk Jingming raised his hand, turned his back to Gao Shugui, and stretched out five fingers.

"Five strings..."

Gao Shugui glanced at it and snorted.

"not enough!"

Monk Jingming turned his hand around again, aiming at him.

"How about doubling it?"

"Be so-so!"

Gao Shugui raised his hand and yawned.

"Okay, this matter has been agreed, and tomorrow I will bring two brothers to drive that Taoist priest away from the gate of your monastery."

"it is good!"

Monk Jingming clasped his hands together again, with a smile on his face.

"Then we will wait for your good news, brother."
