Chapter 420 The Beggar (Subscribe)

The drizzle rises from the sky, decorating the beauty like poetry and fantasy.

The bluestone floor of the street was washed quite clean by the drizzle.

The originally noisy streets rarely became peaceful at this time.

That is to say, the people at the bottom who are trying to make a living are still toiling in the drizzle, rushing for three meals a day.

But looking at the expressions on their faces, there was not much sadness. It was obvious that such a busy life had not broken their backbones.

The teahouses and restaurants on the street were extremely full, and all the tables were occupied.

There are even customers standing in the aisles.

With a cup of hot tea in hand, listening to the storyteller's novel stories, the whole person felt lazy and idle. Such a day was simply wonderful.

Snapped!

On the small table in the center of the teahouse, only the sound of the alarm could be heard, and the storyteller's melodious voice clearly reached the ears of all the tea guests: "Three years ago, Xia Beggar followed the current deputy leader of the Beggar Clan, Zhang, to participate in Zhengzhou Liuhe Boxing. The fiftieth birthday of the Menxia Clan Master!”

"It turned out that on my birthday, a master from the Yellow River Gang, a subordinate of the Demon Sect, came to look for trouble!"

"As you know, any gang that relies on big rivers to become famous is generally quite strong!"

"For example, the Cao Gang developed based on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Salt Gang developed based on the Huaihe River, and the Yellow River Gang is also quite powerful, with many masters in the gang!"

"Ignoring other things, let's just say that the beggar couldn't see the people from the Yellow River Gang being so arrogant and domineering, so he got angry and took action to fight the two hall leaders of the Yellow River Gang alone. It only took a mere thirty seconds to kill the two gangsters of the same level without being able to recruit them. A third-rate player can’t get up even if he’s knocked over!”

"Then, he fought one of the four elders of the Yellow River Gang alone. He used his superb Taizu stick technique and the snake-driving stick technique to draw a tie with the second-rate elder of the Yellow River Gang!"

"After this battle, the name of Xia Beggar spread throughout the Central Plains, saying that he is the rising star of the Beggar Gang!"

"Two years ago, an elder from the Five Poison Sect in southern Xinjiang suddenly went crazy and went to Xiang Province to wreak havoc. With his amazing poison skills, he poisoned hundreds of people in one breath. Even the governor's office was shocked!"

"You listeners may not know that among the unlucky ones who were poisoned, there were many local gentry and landlords. This is such a big deal that the whole government is very worried and angry!"

"But the elder of the Five Poison Sect is really powerful, especially his poison skills that make people fear him. If you get close, you may be poisoned. Sometimes you don't know how you got infected!"

"As soon as this incident comes out, not only the experts from the six sects of Hunan Province, but also the experts supported by the governor's office and the local government office will all be dispatched. They will definitely kill Elder Du!"

"In the end, we lost our troops and lost our face. This matter was originally going to be reported to the imperial court, and the masters from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were invited to take action in person. This shows how powerful the elder of the Five Poison Sect is!"

"At this time, the Hengshan Sect among the Five Mountain Sword Sects, together with the Beggar Clan, took action against the elder of the Five Poison Sect, vowing to kill or expel him from Hunan Province!"

"This time, the leader of the Beggar Clan personally led the team, and deputy leader Zhang and many masters jointly dispatched. The beggar joined because his combat power is comparable to the second-rate masters in the world!"

"The two veteran first-class masters of the Hengshan School, as well as Mr. Mo Da of the Mesozoic era's 'Xiaoxiang Yeyu', Liu Zhengfeng and Liu Daxia of 'One Sword Falling Seven Wild Geese', and Daxia Lu Lian and Ronglu of the 'Golden Eye Biao', can be said to be All the elites are out, the battle is huge!”

"As a result, this siege almost capsized the masters gathered by the Beggar Clan and the Hengshan Sect. The elder of the Five Poison Sect was very cunning. He poisoned more than a dozen masters of the Hengshan Sect and the Beggar Clan in one go and then escaped! "

"As a result, Xia Beggar happened to bump into him, and the two fought dozens of moves. Although Xia Beggar was no match for the elders of the Five Poison Sect, and was almost severely injured by his poisonous skills, he still held him back until the Beggar Clan and Hengshan arrived. Send the master here to kill the poison master!"

"That battle was really amazing. The beggar almost perfected his martial arts skills, but he didn't even have a chance to fight with the Five Poison Sect elders. Only then could he wait for support to arrive!"

"You know, after this battle, the two veteran masters of the Hengshan Sect have passed away in the past two years. They are all the aftermath of this battle. It can be said that the losses have been heavy!"

"However, Xia Beggar was a blessing in disguise. Not long after he came back, his cultivation improved even more, and he became a second-rate master in the world. At the same time, he was promoted to the Six-Pack Disciple of the Beggar Clan due to his merit!"

A group of tea guests listened with great interest, and suddenly someone said: "Isn't that right? Wasn't Xia Beggar a four-bag disciple of the Beggar Clan three years ago? Why did he suddenly become a six-bag disciple?"

The storyteller sitting on the small stage smiled and said: "My fault, I didn't explain it clearly!"

"Xia Beggar followed Deputy Gang Leader Zhang to Zhengzhou. After returning due to his outstanding performance, he quickly became a five-bag disciple of the Beggar Clan!"

"That's really how it should be. If you have merit, you will be rewarded!"

The tea guest nodded to show his understanding and sighed: "The beggar is really hard-working. The two opponents he faced were not good friends. But with his peak third-rate status and second-rate strength behind him, he should have become a beggar." Help five or even six bags of disciples!”

"That's right. The beggar is not only a chivalrous man and has great martial arts skills, but he is also very good at business. The beggar has contributed greatly to our current situation in Huarong!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Xia Beggar, our life in Huarong would definitely not be as easy as it is now!"

"It's a pity that the heroic beggar has become the helmsman of the Yuezhou branch of the Beggar Clan. Otherwise, if he had still been the incense master in Huarong, our lives would have been even easier!"

"Don't be too greedy. The current situation is already very good. In my opinion, wouldn't it be better if the beggar becomes the helmsman of the Yuezhou branch and can help more people?"

"That's nice to say! I heard that there is a fierce fight among the top leaders of the Beggar Clan. Now that the beggar has become a high-ranking member of the Beggar Clan, I'm afraid he will get involved and not care about anyone else!"

"It is indeed possible. When the beggar was still in Huarong Xiangtang, he had deputy gang leader Zhang covering his head. He lived a very relaxed and carefree life, but now he doesn't know what's going on!"

"What are you afraid of? In the worst case, he will return and become the incense master of Huarong Xiangtang. We all support him!"

"Yes, we all support Xia Beggar. If you can't continue working in Yuezhou Branch, then come back!"

The tea guests were talking a lot, and for a while they didn't want to hear Mr. Shu's wonderful story.

The storyteller was not annoyed at all, he just stopped to drink water and take a rest. At the same time, he opened his ears to listen to some gossip to increase the material for future storytelling, so he combined work and rest.

However, these tea guests who spoke, no matter the accent or the content of their words, were obviously old residents of Huarong Realm, otherwise they would not know so much inside information.

In the tea house, there are not only old local residents, but also many businessmen who have recently come to do business.

There was a young businessman who was not only very interested in the Jianghu stories told by the storyteller, but also very interested in what the old tea drinkers said.

It’s just that the more I listen, the more incredible it becomes, and the more I listen, the more confused I feel.

He couldn't help lowering his voice and asked the uncle next to him: "Uncle, isn't it said that Huarong is as prosperous as it is now because of the previous county magistrate?"

His uncle was stunned and glanced sideways at his silly nephew. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He was about to open his mouth to explain. There were a lot of tricks inside.

In the future, their uncle and nephew will often travel to Huarong and even to various places in Yuezhou. If you don't understand some of the things inside, you may not be able to understand what you say in the future if you offend others, and that would be an injustice.

But before his uncle could speak, the man on the table next to him couldn't help but answer: "Little brother, where did you hear these rumors, and you still believe such nonsense?"

The young businessman was a little unhappy. It could be seen that the other party was a gangster, adhering to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less. He just shook his head and said: 'That's what everyone says outside! ’

"Haha, I didn't expect that the previous county magistrate would be so shameless!"

The charlatan didn't shy away from it either. He laughed and said with disdain: "That guy, who has obviously benefited from the beggar, still has the nerve to take all the credit for it?"

"How do you say this?"

The young businessman's curiosity was aroused. He ignored his uncle's wink and asked curiously: "Is it possible that there is something fishy here? It's impossible, right?"

"Why is it impossible?"

The hero at the next table sneered: "The previous county magistrate worked in Huarong for almost five years, but I didn't see any outstanding performance in the previous five years!"

"As a result, after the beggar became the incense master of Huarong Xiangtang, this guy suddenly became motivated, and then he became a capable and capable official. Do you believe this yourself, little brother?"

Before the young businessman could ask further questions, the gangster at the next table told him the inside story: "It's not just the beggar's credit. He also rectified the street order, developed workshops, etc., and also contacted the forces on the other side of the river. , and this is how Huarong has become rapidly prosperous and bustling!”

"As long as you are a common person in Huarong, who doesn't know the reason?"

"It's just that the beggar is not a member of the officialdom and doesn't care much about these political achievements. As a result, the previous magistrate got a big advantage!"

"I heard that because of his meritorious service in governing Huarong, this guy was directly promoted to the post of magistrate!"

"Unlikely!"

The young businessman was puzzled: 'The Xia Beggar is just the incense master of the Beggar Clan, how could it be possible for Huarong to develop so well, even better than Fucheng? ’

"Haha, little brother, you don't know this clearly!"

The gangster at the next table chuckled and said: "When the knight-errant beggar was the master of Huarong Incense, he managed the order of Huarong territory in an orderly manner without the need for the government to intervene!"

"In addition, Xia Beggar not only led Xiangtang brothers to do business, but also opened Xiangtang's business channels, so that many people at the bottom of Huarong will also benefit!"

Seeing the puzzled look on the young businessman's face, the man at the next table explained: "For example, the mosquito-repellent incense concocted by the beggar after consulting many famous doctors is very popular and has been sold throughout the south!"

"With the power of the Beggar Clan Incense Hall, how could it be possible to obtain such a large amount of materials for making mosquito repellent incense?"

"Xia Beggar distributes these materials to each village in the form of shares. The Xiangtang will purchase them uniformly. People in each village can earn a certain amount of income just by harvesting mosquito repellent incense materials from the wild!"

"There are more than one or two such things. In this way, the lives of the people in Huarong are getting better and better. If you have spare money, don't you dare to buy all kinds of goods?"

"Then, the shops in Huarong City and the traveling merchants who traveled to the countryside started to make money. The Huarong area also became prosperous so quickly. Isn't it clear who has the greater credit?"

The young businessman was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously: "Don't the government and local gentry intensify their exploitation?"

Ignoring his uncle's reminder, he said directly: "I know that these guys are quite ruthless!"
