From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 19 The Flower Thief

Beggars all over the world belong to the beggar gang. From the leader of the gang, there are two nine-pocket leaders, four elders, some eight-pocket elders below, and eight-pocket rudder masters. Each rudder master is in charge of the affairs of a province.Below the rudder master, there are seven-pocket palms all the way, six-pocket palms one prefecture, and five-pocket palms one county.

Wei Xiao took refuge in a three-pocket disciple, in his forties, and because of his big puffy beard, he was called Beard Zhang.

Hu Xuzhang's territory is two streets, and anyone who wants to beg here must obtain his consent, otherwise his job will be ruined, he will be beaten violently, and he will be deported. If he is seriously dissatisfied, his hands and feet will be broken and he will be thrown into the wild outside the city. to go.

Wei Xiao gave five taels of silver, bought the status of a second-generation disciple of the beggar gang, bought a roast chicken, successfully joined a group of young beggars, and settled in an abandoned residential house in the alley.

After finding the reason for his safety, Wei Xiao continued to practice every day, mainly because of the Turtle Breathing Xuanding Kung Fu.

Internal skills are easy to practice. You just need to find a place to sit and sometimes you can lie down. The most important thing is the internal skills of the circulation of Qi and blood in the body. It does not interfere with others. Just interrupt.

The beggars need two meals a day, and there are three tasks assigned by the beggars. They have to hand over a fixed amount of money every month. The amount is not much, but it is not difficult to complete. Playing cards yelling in a cluttered room.

Wei Xiao found a corner to practice silently. At first, he was quite disturbed, and his breath was disturbed by the surprise of these people. Every time he felt angry, he wanted to get up and beat up these beggars to make them quiet.

Fortunately, he was able to unravel himself. This environment can still shelter from the wind and rain, and he can eat and wear warmth, but it is noisy. If this is the case, he will not be able to practice, and it will be difficult to survive in this troubled world.

He tried his best to extinguish the anger in his heart, slow down his breathing, mobilize his vitality, and practice silently, so that he could gradually enter the state. After more than a month, he was able to maintain a calm mind even in the environment of many beggars cheering and clamoring, and the air flow in his body was not hindered. , and even enter the mysterious and mysterious state of tortoise's breath.

When other beggars play cards, he lies on his side against the wall, his eyes seem to be closed, and he adjusts his breath silently. Others only think that he is sleeping, and often beggars laugh at him: "You seem to have some serious illness. Why are you always so tired?"

Wei Xiao didn't pay any attention to it, just laughed it off, and just immersed himself in his bitter love.

The beggar gang is well-informed, and he is lurking here, knowing the trend of the world through the word of mouth of the beggars without any trace.

The Sky Eagle Sect connected the crazy boy who ran away from Wangpanshan with the young bodyguard who was arrested by a certain Longmen Bodyguard Bureau, and then went to find out the bodyguard bureau, and determined that the two were the same person, named Wei Xiao. At the age of sixteen, he knew twenty-five styles of plum blossom swordsmanship, sixty hands of Wuhuquan, and a set of very brilliant swordsmanship.

Because Yin Susu, who had fought with him, disappeared, several disciples were killed by him, and no one else knew what his sword technique was.

The Sky Eagle Sect began to search for Wei Xiao from the Longmen Bodyguard Bureau, and was soon picked up by other gangs. After guessing the meaning, they also started looking for Wei Xiao. For a while, the whole Jianghu was looking for the young swordsman Wei Xiao.

Whether it's the sects that covet the dragon sword, the Wudang sect that wants to find someone, or the Shaolin temple that wants to solve the case, they have all dispatched to visit the families of the guards of the Longmen bodyguard bureau, or the neighbors and vendors around them, trying their best to draw After finding the portrait, I searched everywhere like digging three feet.

Wei Xiao hid in the den of the beggar gang and did not dare to move. He was eager to go to Kunlun Mountain to find the Nine Suns Magic Art. To get the scriptures, he had to go through a cave. That cave could only allow a young man to go through. There is a tendency to grow taller. Fortunately, it is only taller and slender, but I think it will not take long for my shoulders to become wider. Even if I find a cliff, I will not be able to get in.

But in this situation, he has no way to move. The second-pocket disciples of the beggar gang only have the right to choose their meals first, and they don't have the freedom to leave their own territory at will.

If you want to move freely among the state capitals, you can only raise the bag to obtain higher authority.

He needs the identity of the Beggar Gang, not just as a cover, but to use the organization system of the Beggar Gang to keep abreast of the information of the Jianghu, so that he can respond in time, otherwise his eyes will be dimmed, and the enemy will not know when the enemy will come to him.

Fortunately, Shi Huolong, the leader of the beggar gang "Golden and Silver Palms", forcibly practiced the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, became paralyzed and sick, and took his family to trot into the deep mountains and old forests. Collaborative discussion, and these four elders have limited abilities, and each has factions, intrigues with each other, the Beggar Clan is not as good as before, orders are issued from above, orders are issued from below, and they are not communicated with each other. Beggars die every day, and new ones The increase in begging is very chaotic, and it is safe for him to hide here.

Although showing martial arts, there is a risk of exposure by quickly lifting the bag, but the two evils are the lesser of two evils, and sometimes you can't worry too much.

Wanting to raise the bag is a meritorious service. After Wei Xiao decided to raise the bag, he soon got a piece of news:
There was a flower picker spread to Dingyuan, and the leader of the Six Sacks in Haozhou Mansion spread the news that the brothers who wanted to do meritorious service could find a way to catch them. If they succeeded, they would be promoted to two bags if they were less than three bags, and one bag if they were more than three bags.

The tradition of chivalry and righteousness of the Beggar Gang began in the Song Dynasty. Whether it was when Qiao Feng was the leader of the gang in the Northern Song Dynasty, or later Hong Qigong, Huang Rong, Lu Youjiao, etc., they all regarded the country as their own duty for the people. It is a prostitute who picks flowers and steals willows. It is difficult for the government to catch them, or if they slip through the net repeatedly, the beggar gang will organize people to eliminate harm for the people.

Now at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this rule is still there, but it is only a formality. Now the world is in chaos, thieves are swarming, and Tartars are causing trouble. How can the beggar gang manage so much?In addition, these gang leaders are not capable enough, the year is not good, and the number of beggars has soared year after year, it is impossible to control them.

According to the usual practice, this kind of task is just casually talked about, and no one takes it seriously. After hearing it, Wei Xiao secretly paid attention to it, and inquired about the flower picker's information in detail.

This flower picker is only in his early twenties, and he came from the north. His martial arts are very high. In the government, the Mongolian officials only know how to be domineering, while the Han officials are all about flattering people. He traveled to many places to commit crimes, and many golden girls were killed by him.

Wei Xiao wrote down the cases the thief had done, analyzed the style and rules of the crime, judged from the opponent's course of action, the way he entered the room, etc. that the opponent's martial arts should not be that strong, but the methods were very cruel. Abusive girl to kill.

In order to be sure, he spent money to get a set of sleeve arrows from Hushu Zhang, made of cowhide, wrapped around his forearm, usually hidden in the sleeve, and can be fired by raising his hand, three in a row.

When he heard that he was going to be a flower picker, Hu Xizhang was not calm at all: "The news from above said that this prostitute has extremely high martial arts skills, and he seems to be a disciple of a famous school! Is the bag as a reward? Don't be greedy to raise the bag, run to show off, and send your own life for nothing."

Wei Xiao said: "Brother Zhang, it's not that you don't know. I'm going to the Western Regions to find relatives. I have to get at least three bags to leave the state capital. I don't have much martial arts, but I can beat sap, poison, and use some extraordinary methods. Why don't you come and play with your sleeve arrows?"

Hearing what he said, Hu Xuzhang didn't stop him any more, and only said to be careful in everything.

Wei Xiao asked him for some anesthetics to apply on the arrows, and then came out with a bamboo stick to look for the flower pickers.

Because there was no one to control him, the flower picker was very arrogant. He went out to do a case every three to five days, and usually lived in a brothel.

Wei Xiao wanted to catch him first, so he squatted in the sun at the entrance of the brothel leaning on a bamboo stick. The girls in the building saw that although his clothes were torn and had many patches, they were tidied up fairly cleanly, and he was pretty, so they teased him.

Relying on his young age, Wei Xiao made up a set of miserable family and past with short calls from his elder sister and older sister, coaxing these younger sisters to pity him, and asked the boy in the building to bring him the first day. Tea and pastries, ordered food from the restaurant on the second day, and even gave him money directly on the third day, asking him not to be a beggar, but to find a job in the building.

Wei Xiao got more information about the flower picker from her door.
