Martial Arts Song

Chapter 108 One hundred and eight hundred eyes

"It seems that 'Master Quan' has given relevant explanations..."

In the alley.

After the Hammer Gang left, Chen Qing sat on the bench, waiting with a thoughtful look on his face.

In fact, he came here with the young man. Although he was cheated and needed to vent, more importantly, he wanted to cause trouble and spread his reputation in the walled city.

This was also the reason why he allowed the four strong men to report the news.

Come to the walled city to capture the remnants of the previous dynasty. It is inevitable that conflicts will arise when they are found.

When the time comes to fight, there will definitely be destruction in the walled city.

This is where the Hammer Gang maintains order, and it is also the territory of "Master Quan". Chen Qing's attitude was so arrogant just now, just to let "Master Quan" know that he is coming!

Otherwise, if he were shot by a stupid young man who didn't know his identity, it would be a real disaster.

Although he has the [divine] value to predict danger and is not afraid of taking advantage of the enemy, it does not mean that he can dodge bullets 100%.

If the place is narrow, the space is limited, or there are many gun muzzles, and the bullets fired at him are too dense, he will not be able to dodge.

And places like the Walled City meet the conditions of being narrow and with limited space.

Therefore, Chen Qing's attitude was deliberately arrogant just now, just to make the matter bigger. It is best to spread it to the eyes and ears of "Master Quan" so that both parties can meet.

In this way, he can directly ask the other party for help and find those remnants of the previous dynasty and hand them over to him.

No matter how bad things go, he can still arrest people in the walled city without restraint.

This was Chen Qing's expectation of the development of the situation.

But unfortunately, things did not develop as he expected.

The leader of the Hammer Gang, Guo Shan, had a very low profile. Chen Qing guessed that he might have received some relevant explanations.

After all, the other party's attitude changed significantly when he heard his name.

Although he has a resounding reputation as a "mourning young man" and is a patrolman, this is the Hexi Walled City, a territory not under the official jurisdiction of Qianyang. As the leader of the Hammer Gang, the other party should not be punished because of his Compromising because of a bad reputation will damage your own prestige.

Therefore, there must be other reasons for this.

Chen Qing had never been here before, so what he could think of was that "Master Quan" discovered Yan Hao when he was investigating the real cause of his death, and then made relevant explanations for Huang Xunhu's sake.

Speaking of which, more than a month has passed, and Huang Xunhu and He Xihong still haven't returned to Huxingmen.

It's now the end of November, the two of them have been gone for almost five months, and it will be half a year soon.

This made Chen Qing feel a little worried even though he knew the strength of the two of them.

"It's been almost half a year and I still haven't solved anything..."

With his thoughts spinning like this, the people from the Hammer Gang also brought over the "Hundred Eyes" he was looking for.

……

"...Hey, hey, hey, where are you taking me?! I don't even come here very often, so I haven't offended Brother Shan!"

A voice came from outside the alley, interrupting Chen Qing's thoughts.

He looked around and saw the boys Guo Shan had ordered before. They were still wearing short clothes, trousers, and cloth shoes despite the cold weather. They were slovenly and had hair like a chicken coop. They looked like they were in their mid-twenties. The young man walked in.

When they saw that Chen Qing was the only one left, the boys pushed the young man to the ground and said angrily: "He is the 'Hundred Eyes' you are looking for!"

After saying that, they turned and left the alley.

Chen Qing didn't care about the departure of several people, but looked at Bai Yanhui and said lightly: "I want you to help me find a few people."

Bai Yanhui, who was pushed to the ground, originally looked frightened, but when he saw that Chen Qing was the only one left in the alley, and that Chen Qing was still wearing a Chinese tunic suit, like a student, he immediately rolled his eyes and climbed up from the ground. He stood up and said:
"I told someone earlier, so I thought something was wrong."

After saying that, others also stood up.

Then, I saw him walking to the corner of the alley, pulling up a bench and sitting in front of Chen Qing. Then he crossed his legs, shook his legs, raised his hands and scratched his back, and said, "Who are you looking for?" Huh? Let’s make a deal first, I’ll help find someone to collect money from, fifty yuan each, no bargaining!”

"it is good."

Chen Qing nodded and made no counteroffer.

Then, he told the other party some information about the appearance of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Seeing Chen Qing being so happy, Bai Yanhui was a little annoyed and muttered: "I knew the price would have been higher..."

However, after hearing Chen Qing's description, the expression on his face gradually became serious.

When Chen Qing finished speaking, he raised his hand, clenched his chin and started thinking with a frown on his face.

After a moment, he looked at Chen Qing, frowned and said, "Many people agree with what you said. Are there any more obvious characteristics?"

It is indeed difficult for people to imagine using language to describe appearance. After all, there are only so many adjectives for facial features, and not everyone can vividly combine the appearance adjectives they hear in their mind.

After hearing this, Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said: "These five people may often wear hats, even when the weather is hot. In addition, these people should often travel or gather together, and they will be very particular in certain aspects. .”

According to the information he obtained from Huang Jiaqi, there were a total of five people described as remnants of the previous dynasty.

One of them is a "prince" from the previous dynasty, while the other four are masters of the palace in the past.

Therefore, Chen Qing would use traveling or gathering together to describe the characteristics of these people.

Because this group of people respects the "Prince" and the four Ouchi masters play the role of personal protection for the "Prince", they usually gather together.

As for the fact that these people often wear hats, it is because during the "Ning Dynasty", men were required to grow long braids, which was regarded as a symbol of royal power during the "Ning Dynasty" period.

Since those remnants of the previous dynasty are determined to restore the country, there is a high probability that they will not give up this symbol of royal power, but will wear hats to cover up their long braids.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's description, Bai Yanhui suddenly showed a look of realization on his face and said, "It turns out these are the people you are looking for!"

Then, I saw him frowning and said in a deep voice: "These people are all people who often go to the 'upper three floors' of the walled city. They are all distinguished guests in the walled city. If they knew that I had revealed their whereabouts, , then I will be in big trouble! So..."

After talking about it, Bai Yanhui chuckled and finally revealed his true intention; "I need more money!"

On the third floor?
Chen Qing didn't pay much attention to the other party's request for more money, but was moved by what the other party said about "going up to the third floor."

He asked: "What do you mean by the 'upper three floors' of the walled city?"

"You don't even know how to go up to the third floor?"

Hearing Chen Qing's inquiry, Bai Yanhui couldn't help but be startled.

After Chen Qing said that he had never been to the Walled City before, he nodded with a look of realization: "I see! In this case, for the sake of your agreement to increase the money, I will tell you about the Walled City. Things are getting better inside!”

Afterwards, he told Chen Qing in detail the layout of the walled city. Through Bai Yanhui's narration, Chen Qing also gained a more detailed understanding of the situation inside the walled city.

In short, Hexi City Walled City, as Qianyang's gold sales den, mainly focuses on pornography, gambling and drugs, and various other lifestyle shops exist to assist these three businesses.

And since it’s a business, there will naturally be people who do the best.

The so-called "upper three levels" refer to maximizing the existence of the three businesses of pornography, gambling and drugs in the walled city.

Gambling occupies one layer, poison occupies one layer, and pornography occupies one layer.

It is the "upper three floors".

To put it bluntly, it is the same business, but it is also divided into high-end and low-end.

The cabins on both sides of the alley where Chen Qing and Bai Yanhui were located belonged to low-end pornographic businesses.

In addition, there are many small gambling stalls on the first floor, and the types of games are different. Some are betting on dice, some are playing mahjong, and some are pushing Pai Gow, etc.

These are also low-end gambling businesses.

Although it is still gambling, the gameplay is not comprehensive, and there is no guarantee for spending thousands of dollars.

But these three businesses on the third floor are different.

According to Bai Yanhui's description, these three businesses have been developed to the extreme in the upper three floors.

All known gambling methods, as well as all pornographic and drawing methods, are available, and the elites of the Hammer Gang personally maintain order to prevent people from cheating while gambling, or when they are having fun playing with women and smoking, things Stolen or something.

Bai Yanhui had seen those remnants of the previous dynasty on the upper three floors.

After listening to Bai Yanhui's story, Chen Qing looked at him and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What do you mean, you are also a frequent visitor on the third floor?"

"joke!"

Bai Yanhui puffed up his chest and said with a proud look on his face: "I've also had a good time, right? At the highest record, I remember I had hundreds of thousands of chips in my hand!"

When Chen Qing heard this, he suddenly had a look of realization on his face.

It turned out to be betting on dogs.

Thinking about it, the other party has a good memory and must have thought about using gambling to get rich.

But in gambling, you can't win with a good memory. There are also thousands of skills involved.

Moreover, once you start gambling, it is very easy to get cheated. Even if you lose and lose everything, it is more likely that you will be tricked into matching funds and borrow money to gamble, and you will be heavily in debt due to gambling.

Of course, Chen Qing didn't care about Bai Yanhui's situation. It had nothing to do with him whether he gambled or not, whether he was in debt or not. He asked again: "Which of the three floors above did you see those people?"

"I've seen it all."

Bai Yanhui replied at first, but then said with a thoughtful look on his face: "However, those people appear a little more on the smoke layer. One of them seems to be a pretty fierce smoker. I often see the others. I’m waiting for that person outside.”

Wait?
That's right, protection.

After listening to Bai Yanhui's story, Chen Qing suddenly had an idea.

He said: "Take me to them and I will pay you if I find them."

"Ah? I still want to take you to find him?"

Bai Yanhui suddenly felt a little confused on his face, "Those guys look fierce, so I won't go, right? You may think I'm strong, but in fact I'm very weak..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

Chen Qing interrupted the other party directly, stood up from the bench, and said in a cold tone: "You want me to pay without seeing anyone, do you think it's possible?"

Hearing this, Bai Yanhui was silent at first, and then gritted his teeth and said: "You will take risks if you take it with you. This is another price! Add more money! If you add more money, I will take you there!"

Chen Qing nodded when he heard this, but still did not counteroffer.

Seeing this, Bai Yanhui got up and took Chen Qing out of the alley to find someone.

Under the leadership of Bai Yanhui, the two of them came to the stairs going up to the first floor, all the way to the second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor...

In the process, Chen Qing could see clearly the internal structure of the walled city.

The second, third and fourth floors of the walled city are actually similar to the layout of the first floor. They are all composed of large corridors, medium-wide corridors, and narrow aisles crisscrossing the layout.

However, these large corridors, medium-wide corridors, and narrow aisles do not overlap with those downstairs.

After seeing it, Chen Qing understood why this happened. Most likely it was to spread the load-bearing force.

"Here we are, here is the smoke layer on the third floor."

When the two of them walked up the stairs and were about to reach the fifth floor, Bai Yanhui, who was walking in front, turned back and said to Chen Qing.

Just after he finished speaking, Chen Qing's upper body also climbed up the stairs and saw what the fifth floor looked like.

For a moment, he felt his vision suddenly broadened!
The fifth floor is completely different from the first, second, third and fourth floors below!

The first, second, third and fourth floors of the walled city were densely packed like a honeycomb, with criss-crossing corridors dividing small rooms into small rooms. They were dense and crowded, and most of the people were ordinary people wearing short jackets, long trousers and cloth shoes. Or there are many gang members wearing various shorts.

It's rare to see people wearing long robes, mandarin jackets, or suits. Even except for the prostitutes sold in cabins and the waitresses serving in various gambling stalls and opium dens, there is not even a woman in the corridor. !
But it's completely different on the fifth floor.

First of all, the fifth floor is no longer a criss-crossing pattern of corridors, but instead has pavilions, winding corridors, wide streets, and pointed wooden houses, creating an ancient town-like layout!

When you walk up, you feel like you've arrived at an ancient town.

Secondly, the roof of the fifth floor is much higher, at least five or six meters high. There are several large windows in the surrounding wooden walls, which allow for light and ventilation, but are not as oppressive as those on the first, second, third, and fourth floors.

Finally, most of the people on this floor are wearing long robes, mandarin jackets, cheongsams with hair tied up, or men and women in suits and dresses coming and going, which is a completely different world from the scene four floors below!

Chen Qing was surprised by the scene on the fifth floor for a moment and couldn't help but look at it.

But before he could look at it for a long time, Bai Yanhui raised his hand and pointed in one direction, and said in an urgent voice: "Quick, quick, look over there! The people over there should be the people you are looking for!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing quickly retracted his gaze and looked in the direction Bai Yanhui was pointing.

In front of a pointed wooden house with an open door, people were coming and going. Four tall and generous middle-aged men wearing mink fur coats, trousers, embroidered boots, and mink fur round hats on their heads were seen. , standing at the four directions of the gate, standing with indifferent expressions, motionless.

But although the people were not moving, the eyes of the four people were always moving, observing the people coming and going around them all the time, and their hands were half retracted in their sleeves, as if they could slip weapons out of their sleeves anytime and anywhere.

When Chen Qing saw these four people, he quickly compared it with the information he had seen in his mind, and immediately confirmed that these four people were the four Ouchi masters among the five remnants of the previous dynasty!

　I woke up several times last night due to coughing. I finally fell asleep at 3 or 4 in the morning. It was already noon when I woke up, and then I went to hang up the water all afternoon. This is today’s update. I will write up the update immediately, but it will probably take a while. It took two days of grinding to finish two thousand words in one day. This wave of the virus is not as serious as the new coronavirus, but I can’t stop coughing and can’t sleep. It’s so annoying.
