bastard returns

The head of the Gopher Gang, Kuitoushu, recently received two very strange deals.

These little bastards who live in the dark side of the city, apart from running rampant in some alleys that even the Imperial Guards don't bother to control, their biggest source of income is to help some dignitaries and dignitaries do things they can't do it themselves.

Anyway, bastards like them, as long as they have enough money and there is no risk of death, they dare to do anything, and they can do anything, so this time, someone gave them a business of 100 taels, They were asked to deal with an ordinary person living in the west of the city. Although the employer also said that although their target seemed to be an ordinary person, they were skilled in martial arts. Let them gather more people. up.

They are just ordinary people, even if they have martial arts, so what? Although there are no martial arts masters among them, they are superior in that they have many people, and what they are best at is finding trouble. The reward for such an errand is 100 taels, and he has made a lot of money .

But soon, Kuitoushu couldn't be happy again, because someone who inquired came to him and said that the target they were going to deal with this time had got the news, but the other party was willing to pay double the price, that is, 200 taels of silver, Let the folks at their gopher gang do a little favor.

This is what really makes Quitoushu feel worried.

200 taels is not a small amount, the person who can come up with so much money at once, can it be an ordinary person?Although their gopher gang insists on taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, they also know how to measure and never provoke someone who can't afford it for money, but they took over the previous business order again. This business is the most particular about a quack As a rule, if they don't do anything after receiving the money, they don't want to continue in this business anymore, and since the other party can pay 200 taels, what reason would they have? Isn't it because they know that they are being calculated by others and plan to ask for more money? Too much money against a general?But according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, they can't agree!

Kui-toushu was feeling worried, but heard an unbelievable request from Bao inquiring.

It turned out that the offer of 200 taels of silver was not to ask them to cancel the action, but to listen to the other party's arrangement on some details of the action.

This made Monk Kuitoushu Zhang Er puzzled. He knew that he was being calculated by others, but he still paid those people who wanted to calculate him, just to let them obey his arrangement when calculating himself?Isn't this person mentally ill, or is there a bigger pit waiting for Kuitoushu to jump into it with his little brother.

Seeing that Kuitoushu didn't want to understand, Bao asked that person to explain everything clearly. The more he said, the more cold sweat would be on Kuitoushu's forehead and heart. There was only one thought in his mind, these rich people were all brains You are sick!

Seeing Kuitoushu, the man finally understood what Bao asked, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young Master Ning means this. As long as you do this, Master Kui, you will not only complete the tasks assigned by your employer, but also not violate the rules." Jianghu is moral, and you can earn an extra 200 taels of silver. Mr. Ning also said that after the matter is completed, a red envelope of 500 taels of silver will be sealed for you. Nothing happened."

Damn, 500 taels!Kuitoushu's eyes widened when he heard that, Mr. Ning is too fucking rich, so adding up the front and back does not mean that he has 800 taels of silver! ?With so much money, it is enough for a group of them to eat and drink for several years!

"Damn it, it's done!" Kuitoushu waved his hand and finally made up his mind. This is completely snowflakes falling from the sky. If he doesn't catch it, he will be a fool!

There was only one reason why Rong would find members of the Gopher Gang, and that was because he had heard that these guys could use whatever methods they could in the underworld gangs in Huajing City, and there were many gangsters formed in these gangs. He cared about his reputation in the industry, and was not afraid of not doing things after receiving money, so after promising them 100 taels of silver, Rong waited every day to see what would happen to Ning Yuan.

She didn't say that she wanted Ning Yuan's life, but she just let the Gopher Gang do whatever they want, punish and punish them well, just scare him, and vent their anger on her son Ning Lie.It's just that several days passed, but the members of the Gopher Gang didn't show any intention of dispatching, and it seemed that the situation was very calm.

In the middle, she sent people several times to find the leader of the gopher gang, Kuitoushu, and asked how long they were going to dawdle, but Kuitoushu's attitude was also very clear, and she couldn't even say that this matter should be rushed, and she had to plan slowly, you know The people they want to deal with are not weak in martial arts. If they don't prepare well, they will lose money at the beginning.

Faced with such an explanation, Rong also had to accept it.

Finally one day, Kuitoushu received a message from Bao inquiring that they were ready to make a move, and they got a clear time and place.

Seeing that the news that he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, Kuitoushu didn't dare to neglect. For the windfall of several hundred taels of silver, he immediately got all his younger brothers together, followed all the small alleys in the city, and finally lurked in a very noisy street. side.

"Tonight at Youshi, Fireworks and Willow Street, a navy blue carriage." Kuitoushu took another look at the note that Bao asked him to give him, gathered himself together, and pointed to a carriage that was slowly driving in the center of the street: "What to do later What, have you passed on the word?"

"Don't worry, Boss, everyone knows it very well." A somewhat wretched-looking man chuckled twice, "The momentum should be as loud as possible, but it can't hurt anyone. Just beat up a young man in white in the carriage." , and then run away as soon as you see the signal."

Kui-toushu nodded, took a deep breath, watched the crowds coming and going on the street, and waited patiently.

Not long after, a plain navy blue carriage slowly approached from the street entrance. Kuitoushu's eyes were fixed, thinking that it should be that one.

In the carriage, Ning Zhongkun drank a glass of fragrant wine slowly, and said to Ning Yuan who was sitting opposite him with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Seeing that you have always pretended to be sanctimonious, it is hard to imagine that you would treat that guy interested."

"My cousin was joking, but there is no man who is not interested in sensuality." Ning Yuan smiled, and filled up the wine for Ning Zhongkun, and said flatteringly: "However, I am also interested in this kind of place. It’s indeed the first time here, and it’s really jerky, I hope my cousin can remind me a little bit more.”

"Don't worry about it. If there is anything you don't understand, I will remind you." Ning Zhongkun chuckled, "The place I chose today may be of a lower grade than the picturesque boat at the pier, but it is also a lot of fun. Even His Royal Highnesses would visit from time to time, and the girls there are so tender, no matter who sees them..." Ning Zhongkun was talking happily, but the carriage suddenly shook violently for no reason. Holding the wine glass, with a shake, most of the wine in the glass spilled on the clothes. The originally luxurious satin shirt was not only stained with water, but also smelled of wine.

"Oh, it's really bad luck!" Ning Zhongkun looked at the corner of his wet clothes, "It's already here, why don't we have to go back and change clothes!"

"It's okay, please be safe, cousin. I just made a new suit today. I just picked it up from the tailor shop and haven't sent it home yet. If my cousin doesn't mind, I can change into it." After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan As if by magic, he took out a brocade box out of nowhere, opened the lid, and inside was a snow-white satin shirt.

"The material is not as good as the one I'm wearing, but it's barely there. Anyway, it won't be too embarrassing. If it's a blue cotton shirt like yours, I definitely won't wear it. It's really cheap." Ning Zhong While muttering, Kun took off the original purple robe and put on the white shirt that Ning Yuan took out.

"Master, the place is here." After Ning Zhongkun changed his clothes, the driver outside also pulled his horse to stop. Ning Zhongkun lifted the curtain and took a look. He saw a luxurious restaurant outside. He nodded and said, "That's right here." But just as he lowered the curtains and was about to get out of the carriage, he suddenly heard a whoosh, and a feathered arrow shot from nowhere suddenly pierced into the carriage. It was trembling non-stop, and the point of the arrow was less than an inch away from Ning Zhongkun's nose.

Ning Zhongkun was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground trembling all over, his face was too pale to say a word, and at this moment, it seemed that some kind of firecracker exploded outside, and there was a "bang", Then there were commotions from passers-by from all directions, and before Ning Zhongkun could get up, two gangster-like guys rushed into the carriage and dragged him out.

And the outside of the carriage has become a mess.

More than a dozen gangsters poured into the street from all directions, and dominated their two carriages. Ning Zhongkun was dragged by those two people and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit. The fist of the greeting was beaten to the point of staring. He never thought that such a thing would happen in Huajing City. There were only two guards with him who followed him all the year round, but how could there be so many hooligans with just two people? Although his opponent would not be beaten to the ground, he was also blocked and could not be relied on at all.

Ning Yuan also got out of the car, pretending to shout while rushing up to rescue Ning Zhongkun, but there were also two guys restraining him, one on the left and one on the right, but if you looked closely, the two people holding Ning Yuan It was just tugging at his sleeves in a pretentious manner, and he didn't use any force at all, and he fended off the other hooligans.

One of the two, the boss of the Gopher Gang, Kui-toushu, yelled in a voice that almost trembled for half a street, "The Gopher Gang is doing things, taking people's money, and eliminating disasters for others. Noisy people, don't meddle in your own business!"

Originally, the passers-by around saw that these people were not coming for them, so they didn't have the idea of ​​meddling in their own business at all, but now they heard someone yelling at the top of their voices, and even retreated, letting Ning Zhongkun lie there and be beaten. It broke my throat, really pitiful.

I don't know how long it took before there was another commotion in the distance. It seemed that the imperial guards came after getting the news. The Kui-toushu had obviously experienced such scenes a lot, so he whistled calmly and greeted his younger brother. They stopped their hands together, and then methodically broke them into pieces, either getting into the crowd or into the alley, and within three breaths, the group of people disappeared completely. When the group of imperial guards arrived, all but Ning Zhongkun, who was lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, was half a thug.

The eldest grandson of Duke Ning's mansion was beaten violently in the street in Fireworks Willow Lane. The news exploded in Huajing City that night.

Ning Zhongkun was completely carried back to the mansion. Although he was still conscious and hadn't passed out, he couldn't stand up and couldn't speak. The housekeeper saw his appearance and didn't dare to neglect him at all. Doctor, while quickly notifying Ning Guogong.

By the time Ning Huayang and Rong's heard the news, even the imperial physician in the palace had already arrived at the gate of Duke Ning's mansion.

In the spacious east wing room, Ning Zhongkun lay motionless on the bed with a swollen pig-headed face, unable to open his mouth, and even his eyes could only open a small slit, and from time to time he let out a painful whimper. After being busy, taking medicine and serving water, Imperial Physician Zheng and two other doctors invited by the Ning Mansion stood beside the bed and talked softly. On the two sandalwood chairs not far away, Mrs. Wu sobbed non-stop. Ning Guogong sat next to him, with a rigid face, staring at the person on the bed motionless.

Ning Yuan stood in the corner, did not speak, but looked up and down the tallest old man in the house, and saw that although his hair and beard were all white, he had a straight back, a straight nose and a square mouth, and although he was dressed in ordinary clothes He wore a brocade robe, but his whole body exuded the majesty of a superior, but judging from his pale complexion and the occasional coughing and panting, this Lord Ning Guo is really not in good health.

"It's all you damn old bastard. If you hadn't locked me up, how could Kun'er have been conspired to become like this!" Crying, Wu yelled hard at Ning Guogong's ear. He was ordered to think about it in the room, but when he heard that Ning Zhongkun's precious grandson had an accident, he couldn't care less about other things, so he just broke out from the room and saw that Mrs. Wu seemed to have gone mad, and the guards guarding the door didn't dare to stop him at all.

Faced with Wu's insult, Ning Guogong looked very indifferent, but as if he felt Ning Yuan's gaze projected from the corner, he slightly turned his face to look at him, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Villain Ning Yuan, I pay my respects to my lord." Ning Yuan bowed knowingly.

Ning Guogong narrowed his pupils, as if thinking of something, nodded slightly, turned his head straight, and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door of the room. Ning Huayang also came with Mrs. Rong. They entered the door, first saluted Mr. Ning Guo and Mrs. Wu, then Ning Huayang walked quickly to the bedside, and saw Ning Zhong After Kun'er's situation, he yelled with great righteous indignation: "Who on earth is so bold that he dares to attack Kun'er? If I catch such a madman, he must be skinned!"

Rong's was also baffled at first, this Ning Zhongkun is so good, why was he beaten for no reason, until she saw Ning Yuan standing in the room, she was startled, and couldn't help saying: "Why are you here! ?”

"You know him?" Before Ning Yuan could reply, Duke Ning looked at Rong and opened his mouth.

"This... my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law knows..." Mrs. Rong seemed to be very afraid of Ning Guogong, and stammered, "The last time the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, he, he went with Kun'er."

"I see." Duke Ning nodded his head.

"Madam is well." Ning Yuan took the time to bend over to Rong, "The villain is here, but when Brother Zhongkun was attacked by those madmen, the villain happened to be drinking with Brother Zhongkun, and those madmen happened to be drinking with Zhongkun." He rushed into our carriage, and punched Brother Zhongkun without saying a word, I think of that scene now, it is horrifying." Ning Yuan patted his chest as if he was still terrified.

Hearing what he said, Rong's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly there was a huge wave.

She looked Ning Yuan up and down, and saw that his clothes were clean and tidy, and his expression was calm and unhurried. Obviously, although he was with Ning Zhongkun, Chi Yu was not harmed, and Ning Zhongkun was inexplicable, why was he approached by a group of lunatics?But when he was with this kid?Could it be...

Thinking of this, a terrible idea came out of Rong's heart, she couldn't help trembling her legs, she swayed to stand firm, comforted herself and said no, there would be no such thing, she must be superstitious up.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Zheng and the two doctors seemed to have finished their discussions, and turned around to salute Ning Guogong. Ning Guogong hurried over and said, "How is Kun'er doing now?"

Imperial physician Zheng said: "If you return to my lord, Young Master Ning should not be in danger of life, but the injury is a bit serious. If you don't take good care of it, there may be sequelae."

"What does it mean to have sequelae?" Ning Guogong hadn't spoken yet, but Wu Shi was anxious, "Emperor doctor, please speak clearly."

"Duke Madam, don't be impatient. Master Ning's injury looks serious, but those lunatics who committed violence were obviously careful. All the injured places avoided the vital parts, but that's the case, Master Ning. The injuries on the hands and feet are much more serious." Zheng Taiyi said slowly: "In addition to some flesh injuries, his left hand bone and right leg bone showed signs of fracture, and three sternum ribs were also broken. The old man was worried. Here, the hand bones and ribs are fine, if the injury on the right leg is not well healed, I am afraid that Young Master Ning will be able to walk in the future..."

"What will happen? Is it possible that she will become a cripple?" Wu raised her voice, seeing the imperial physician nodding silently, she froze for a moment, then fell to the ground, crying loudly.

"The doctor didn't say that you will be lame, you just know how to cry!" Ning Guogong scolded Wu.

Wu, however, pointed at Duke Ning and howled: "You heartless old bastard, Kun'er is your only grandson! If you become lame in the future, how will you see people! Can't explain to my poor dead son, woo woo woo!"

Ning Guogong frowned at Wu's howling, but he was a little speechless about Wu's responsibilities, thinking that Wu was also a dignified lady before, but she lost her temper after her son's early death. After a big change, he became more and more surly and aggressive, and put all his attention on his only grandson. Now Ning Zhongkun has become like this again, no wonder he lost his composure.

Ning Huayang leaned over and said kindly: "Mother, don't be impatient, my father has always liked Kun'er, how could Kun'er become a cripple, and the doctor Zheng is here, so Kun'er will definitely let Kun'er take care of himself." Nursing up, so that he won't have sequelae."

"Damn!" Which Wu family spit on Ning Huayang's face, pointed to his nose and said, "You don't want to cry and pretend to be merciful here, Kun'er is so good, why did you run into a group of violent people out of nowhere?" A madman? It must be you, a wolf-hearted thing, who is making waves! If Kun'er becomes lame, she will definitely not be able to become a prince in the future, and the Ningguo Mansion will become your possession. I tell you that you have a good idea! As long as As long as I live for a day, I will never allow you, a concubine, to take half a step!"

Ning Huayang's smiling face froze suddenly when he heard the word "shuchu", but he didn't retract his expression, but put on a pitiful look and said, "Mother, why are you so angry?" Accusing me like this, I am also very sad that Kun'er has become like this, I wish that those who harmed him will be arrested and brought to justice immediately, how could it be possible that I sent someone to do it!"

"Hmph, it's a done deal, so naturally you can say whatever you want, but don't get too complacent, old lady, I will find out the truth of this matter no matter what!" Wu Shi slapped Ning Huayang away and came to help She held her hands, stood up by herself, straightened her back and said to Ning Guo: "Master, send someone to invite Jing Zhaoyin here, Kun'er's crimes cannot be in vain, we must find the person who harmed him!"

"I've already invited you." Ning Guogong said slowly, "I'm also very curious about who is so bold." With these words, Rong also subconsciously took a step back.

Jing Zhaoyin came very quickly. In fact, after hearing the news at the first time, he understood that the matter was no small matter. Sooner or later, someone would come to invite him, so he was already waiting with his entourage. Then he rode his horse to the Duke's mansion.

The main hall of the mansion has been cleared out, Jing Zhaoyin was invited in and waited for a while, and the rest moved out of Ning Zhongkun's room. The moment he saw Jing Zhaoyin, Wu burst into tears. One sentence from one sentence to the other is to ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly and return Ning Zhongkun justice.

Jing Zhaoyin talked kindly for a long time before he calmed down Mrs. Wu, Ning Guogong shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is laughing at me, I wonder if this case is so difficult to investigate? I heard that the lunatics that Kun'er met were all hooligans. Like them, these people are hiding in the city, and I don’t know if they can be caught.”

"This matter is not difficult." Jing Zhaoyin said: "Actually, I have already got an important clue. When those lunatics committed the crime, they once shouted their origins in order to intimidate the people around them and not allow them to commit crimes." If you come to help, if you use this layer to follow the clues, you will definitely be able to catch the culprit."

"Is this true?" Ning Guogong's eyes lit up, "Then who are those madmen?"

"An underground gang called the Gopher Gang."

As soon as Jing Zhaoyin said this, there was a clanging sound in the room, and everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound. It turned out that Rong couldn't hold the tea cup firmly, and fell to the ground and smashed it to pieces.
