Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 24
"What's going on, who dares to cause trouble in this temple?" Zhao Yi walked out of the main hall while talking, Zhao Yaoyao was afraid that Zhao Yi might make a mistake, so she hurriedly followed behind Zhao Yi.

In the courtyard of the temple, the abbot of the temple was explaining something to a handsome young man in a white robe. Behind the young man in the white robe were more than a dozen men, all staring at Zhao Yi with sharp eyes, exuding a strong sense of Jiang Hu. They seemed to be carrying weapons around their waists, and a little novice fell to the ground tremblingly, with a sweeping broom beside him. It looked like they were cleaning the yard.

Zhao Yi ignored the menacing eyes of these people, and walked directly in front of the abbot and said, "Master abbot, what are these people doing? I just vaguely heard some incense money?"

Before Master Abbot could reply, the timid boy who had been knocked down on the ground pretended to be courageous again and said, "Benefactor, these people are rascals from the neighborhood. They come to our Qingfeng Temple every month to extort incense money from pilgrims." The rascals, I didn't expect that this little novice would dare to speak, and what was even more unexpected was that someone would dare to take care of their affairs. He was furious, and the leading white-robed youth rolled up his sleeves and was about to attack, and the other dozen men also They all rushed over.

"Boy, you're messing around there. It's better for you to take care of my little overlord Zhou Tong's business. I'm going to fix the incense money for this temple by Zhou Tong. Get the hell out and meddle in your own business." The white-robed youth said contemptuously.

"I'm a civil servant, if you don't want to die, get out!" Zhao Yi said proudly with a face of indifference.

More than a dozen men were all hot-tempered. Some drew out the short knives around their waists, and some grabbed the brooms in the temple. Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere in the temple was destroyed, and a fight was imminent. There were already people in the temple. The pilgrim slipped away secretly, and the old abbot tried hard to dissuade him in the middle, but no one paid any attention to him. The rascal looked at Zhao Yi viciously, trying to scare Zhao Yi with his momentum and numbers. Zhao Yi was naturally not intimidated by these scoundrels, and looked at each other calmly.

In the end, the white-robed young man known as the little overlord turned his head and left without saying a word when he had the upper hand in numbers, and a dozen of his subordinates also left, and before leaving, he uttered a cruel sentence: "Boy, you If you mess with our big brother Zhou, you will die!"

Zhao Yi saw that the rascals had left, so he didn't make things difficult for them. He stretched out his hand to help the little novice monk who had fallen on the ground. After asking the abbot, he found out that these rascals were the bullies of this side, and they often extorted money from the people. He came to blackmail him again, and when he saw that the abbot refused to give, he wanted to use force, because the little novice was afraid that the abbot would make a mistake, so he stepped forward to dissuade him and was knocked down by those people.

Zhao Yi comforted the little novice, like the abbot, after clarifying his identity and promising to deal with these scoundrels, he stayed with Zhao Yaoyao for a while before going back to Tumu Fort.

The little overlord Zhou Tong, who had just been beaten up just now, naturally wouldn't let it go. He just saw that the other party was calm and calm, and knew that the other party had something to rely on, so he didn't act rashly. Therefore, the reason for running away in despair just now was because the hero would not suffer the immediate loss. The little overlord Zhou Tong and others After leaving the temple, he blew the whistle and called all the people who could come. He wanted to give this boy a little color, and for a while, the temple was surrounded by thorny dragons and tigers with fierce faces. holding the dick.

Seeing the rascals returning again, Zhao Yi made arrangements for Zhao Yaoyao, the little novice, and the others, and walked out of the Daxiong Palace carelessly. These hooligans are just extorting some money, and the crime is not fatal. He just wants to tease these rascals, so Zhao Yi is very casual and relaxed.

However, Zhao Yi's carefree attitude created a false impression for Zhou Tong. This person is too powerful. Just the arrogant aura proves that he is a person who has gone through big storms. People, the little overlord Zhou Tong decided to ask the other party's background.

"Brother, I don't know how to call it? Why do you cut off my money if there is no grievance or enmity?" Zhou Tong asked coldly, holding his arms. This is the rule between the rivers and lakes. You shouldn't provoke yourself.

"Little Overlord, right? The name is very domineering, yes, I think it's okay for today's matter, you are also asking for money, but you should not find Bodhisattva's head when you ask for money, give me face, and tell brothers not to come here in the future I'm asking for trouble, I have some money, you take it." Zhao Yi didn't pick up on the bully, and said to himself.

"How old are you, you dare to talk to our big brother Zhou like that, fuck!" A young man behind the bully Zhou Tong pointed at Zhao Yi with a dagger in his hand and cursed, Zhao Yi's carefree expression suddenly became fierce , the murderous look flashed by, the young man involuntarily shivered, and looked nervously at the bully Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong, the bully who has worked hard in the arena for many years, naturally felt this murderous aura. This young man is definitely not simple. He waved his big hand to signal his subordinates to shut up, and said, "Oh? You give money, I don't know how much money you can give? "

"For your sake, and the price you paid for calling so many brothers, I'll give you all!" Zhao Yi said flatly, picked up the bulging money bag at his waist, turned it upside down, and took out a small bag from it. A piece of broken silver was casually thrown to Xiaobawang Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong reached out to catch it, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "A tael of silver? You don't go out to inquire about my Xiaobawang, my face is worth a piece of money." Two silvers?"

Zhao Yi was very angry, and the consequences were serious. He felt that he had already given the little bully a lot of face, and a tael of silver was hard to come by. His expression was also ugly at the moment, and he said, "Then how much do you think it will take to settle it? "

"At least 100 taels, no, 500 taels." The little overlord lion opened his mouth wide. He felt that this kid was just bluffing. It must be the rich son of that family who came out to play. I am no longer afraid, and I can knock a sum of money hard.

"500 taels, right? I'll give it to you." Zhao Yi tossed the purse in his hand to Xiaobawang, who weighed it in his hand. It was heavy. Although there was no 500 taels, there was 100 taels. This time But when he ran into someone who took advantage of him, the little bully smiled, obviously satisfied.

"Little Overlord, I gave you your face, but brother is very unhappy now. Just now your subordinates scolded me, and you heard it too. How do you settle the score?"

The little overlord smiled crookedly, it turned out that you kid was waiting for me here, "I want to beat you even if I scold you, the money just now counts as your flattering me for today's loss, and the scolding by my subordinates just now counts as interest. On my little overlord's territory, I will scold you, how about it?"

At this time, the Xiaobawang's subordinates have already seen that this kid is probably a softie, and he has made it clear that he dare not fight with people like himself, so he can bully and bully him with confidence. The younger brother waved the dick in his hand and surrounded him, pointed at Zhao Yi with the dick and cursed.

"Boy, what are you? Believe it or not, I will draw something on your face."

"Little softie, kneel down and shout Grandpa, I was wrong, or I will leave a few blood holes on your body with a knife."

Zhao Yi didn't intend to embarrass these rascals at first, but no matter how well-bred he was, he couldn't help it. He punched the most favorite little ruffian in the face. The scene was so horrifying that the others took a step back in a hurry, but after a pause, they surrounded him again. Seeing that his subordinates had been beaten, Zhou Tong rushed forward first.

"Look at the knife." A sharp steel knife slashed towards Zhao Yi as fast as lightning. Zhao Yi jumped lightly to avoid the oncoming blade. The Overlord didn't kill Zhao Yi, but his skills were really good, and a group of rascals applauded repeatedly to strengthen their momentum.

Zhao Yi walked to a tree in the temple with a normal expression. Zhao Yi was in a good mood today and planned to play with them. "Have you seen this tree? Are your bones as hard as it?" Zhao Yi was very casual. I patted on the old tree, and immediately the whole tree fell down. A tree as thick as two people was knocked down by a palm.

The little overlord Zhou Tong was shocked. This man was too fierce. Although the tree wasn't particularly thick, it was strong enough to break a tree as thick as two people with one palm. With such advanced martial arts, I'm afraid he won't be his opponent in a fight.

All the rascals were also dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to yell anymore.

"Okay, the money just now will be rewarded to you, don't come to this temple to make trouble again." Zhao Yi patted the dust on his hands and said lightly.

"Fart, my little overlord uses you for charity?" Zhou Tong's torch temper was aroused by Zhao Yi's contemptuous words, and no matter how tyrannical his opponent was just now, he was about to rush forward and fight Zhao Yi.

Seeing Zhou Tong rushing over, Zhao Yi, who didn't want to see blood at the Buddhist gate, shouted: "I, Zhao Yi, don't want to fight in this Buddhist gate today, disrespecting the Bodhisattva, if you are forcing me, don't blame me for hurting me!" Get the killer."

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhou Tong, who was about to rush over, stood on the spot as if struck by lightning, and the group of rascals who were yelling just now were no longer shouting. Could it be that Zhao Yi is the hero who defeated the Qing army and made a surprise attack on Songshan? What about Zhao Yi?

Zhou Tong and a group of rascals fell to their knees with a plop, "Master Zhao, please accept us, we also want to kill the Tartars."

Zhao Yi was baffled by this, why did the rogues who were lucky enough to fight and kill just now fell to their knees all of a sudden.

"Get up! Do you know me?" Zhao Yi asked puzzled.

"My lord, we have all heard about your deeds. You led our Ming soldiers to kill the Tartars and captured the prince of the Qing army. It is really a sigh of relief for us. Although we are rogues, we I am also patriotic, please accept me and wait, we are such rascals who have nowhere to serve the country." Zhou Tong said excitedly, and the subordinates behind him also nodded in agreement, each one was very excited.

Seeing that Zhou Tong and the others were very sincere, Zhao Yi hurriedly said: "Get up first, how about this, since you have the heart to serve the country, I can't let down your patriotic enthusiasm. Me, it's getting late today, let's talk tomorrow." This Zhou Tong is a bully nearby, and the people he knows must be mixed, and he has just joined Jinyiwei, and he just needs manpower, so it will be useful in the future, and Just now seeing that Zhou Tong is also good at skills, Zhao Yi couldn't help trying to recruit him.

Only then did Zhou Tong and the others get up from the ground, smiling naively, not at all as vicious as they were just now, and after apologizing to Zhao Yi repeatedly, they turned around and left when they made an appointment to meet tomorrow , Walked to the gate of the temple and turned back to return the money to Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi said that he would give the money to them for drinking, and all the popi shouted and left.
