Chapter 1059 Geng Zijuan is drunk and burning the lamp to read the wisdom of the little man with the sword

“I heard from Brother Liu that you showed your hands, the Crazy Magic Wand and the Arhat Fist?” Feng Ziying asked with interest.

"Well, I had a little battle with the gang from Zhending Mansion." Ni Er was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that a big shot like Feng Ziying would be interested in these rivers and lakes fights. He scratched his head and said, "That's over in Pinggu. It was a pure hand-to-hand competition, very peaceful..."

“Hmm, so your martial arts skills are from the lineage of Lu Zhishen, the great prime minister of the former Song Dynasty?” Feng Ziying continued to ask with a smile.

Facing Feng Ziying's high interest, Ni Er was also quite overwhelmed and shook his head helplessly: "Sir, where did you hear this rumor from? I'm crazy about the magic wand method and Arhat Fist, but I want to talk about what I mentioned to you. "Water Margin" is related to the stories in the legendary storybooks, but it is a bit irrelevant. This is an ancestral biography. Our Ni family's ancestral home is in Henan. The Crazy Magic Wand Technique and Luohan Fist are passed down from generation to generation. But it is slowly improved by constantly absorbing the essence of other schools, but it has nothing to do with the story of Lu Zhishen you told."

"Well, I'm just curious. Brother Liu is a master in my eyes. Ni Er, how do you compare your martial arts skills with Brother Liu's?" Feng Ziying was really curious.

My pillow companions, You Sanjie and Liu Xianglian, are both from the Kongtong sect, but You Sanjie is obviously inferior to Liu Xianglian. However, as You Sanjie is a woman, it is much more suitable for her to follow him for personal protection than Liu Xianglian, but Liu Xianglian It is unknown how high Xianglian's martial arts skills are, so Feng Ziying also wants to know.

He was stopped by Feng Ziying's question. If it had been anyone else, he would have scoffed and wouldn't bother to talk nonsense with him. However, he didn't want to answer this one. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Young Master Liu's sword skills are amazing. I don't really know how to speak." I have been exposed to it before, but I also know that those who use swords like this are quite powerful when fighting alone. You San Yi Niang must be from the same lineage as Liu Gongzi. Their sect is used to taking advantage of the sword,..."

Feng Ziying was not happy, "Ni Er, you talk so much, I ask you how you compare with Brother Liu, why are you talking so much?"

Ni Er scratched his head again and murmured for a long time before saying: "If Mr. Liu can't kill me in twenty rounds, then I may have a greater chance of winning. Well, Mr. Liu has a greater chance of winning in a place with narrow streets. If it's in the wilderness, , maybe my winning rate is slightly higher.”

  It was difficult for Ni Er to force him to say such docile words, and he suddenly broke into a sweat on his forehead.

Feng Ziying was immediately impressed, "Ni Er, you can't tell, Brother Liu has the strongest martial arts skills among the people I have ever met. You actually have a good chance of winning against him. Are you hiding in the city?" You should go to the army and have a good run, maybe you can make a big fortune."

Ni Er laughed and said, "Uncle, you are just telling a joke. These days, if you want to show off my courage and fight ruthlessly, I can deal with ten or twenty people by myself. But on the battlefield, this is not the case." How useful can individual bravery be? If any of the bows, crossbows, and muskets are pointed at you, you will have to kneel down. From thirty to fifty meters away, they can easily shoot you into a hornet's nest. They can form a formation to kill you. How long can you withstand being slashed and stabbed by five swords and spears? Hey, my skills as a banker can only be used to scare people."

Although Ni Er is a little more modest, he is also telling the truth. When it comes to battle, whether personal bravery has any use, it certainly does. At least the survivability is stronger, but if you want to say that one sword can stop millions of soldiers, then it is true. It's a joke.

"Ni Er, don't belittle yourself. There are strengths and weaknesses. This kind of martial arts may have limitations in battle formations, but it can be used to great effect in daily unexpected encounters. If nothing else, Whether you are from Zhending Prefecture or Pinggu County, your livelihood will be gone in a few moments, but at least your authority will be challenged, and you will have to spend more efforts in other areas. Win it back.”

Ni Er nodded and said sternly: "What I said is true. To be honest with you, I am also very trembling with such a big stall now. I am deeply afraid that something will happen one day and the place will be ruined. I will embarrass myself and have a small business." If you lose the uncle’s face, I will never redeem myself.”

Feng Ziying burst out laughing, which was quite interesting to Ni Er. Although these words were said in a nondescript manner, they felt comfortable in her heart.

"Okay, Ni Er, I told you that you are a good person, you look rough and bold, but in fact you are cautious and careful, and you are a work-oriented person." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "The Capital City is no better than other places, and Shuntian Prefecture is no better than other prefectures. , dragons and snakes are mixed together, the center of the imperial court, the royal family, the high-ranking families, and the noble officials are all gathered here. Not only those who stare here blindly, but also the Jurchens, Mongols, and Japanese from outside the territory, who can Aren't you keeping an eye on this? The imperial court is a bit busy, and may have to rely on private power. If you use this relationship to build a relationship with the government, there are only benefits, and it can be regarded as a part of your loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

"Ni Er understands, Ni Er understands." Hearing Feng Ziying's formal words, Ni Er quickly stood up and thanked him again.

 “Sit down.” Feng Ziying waved her hand.

 He ​​has always had a good impression of Ni Er. From the story of Ni Er and Jia Yun in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life, he had a deep impression of these two people.

Since I have come to this time and space, I am naturally willing to help them if I can help them, which can be regarded as a blessing for them.

From now on, both Jia Yun and Ni Er have performed admirably. They have a solid intelligence network at the bottom of the capital city.

This can be considered to make up for the shortcomings of Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing and others who came from the south of the Yangtze River and were unfamiliar with the situation in the north.

For example, now Wang Wenyan has made good use of the one or two thousand people under Ni Er, who go from house to house every day to clean excrement, deliver vegetables and fruits to wealthy families, and help government yamen and wealthy nobles. Those who build houses and walls, those who gamble and lend money in casinos, Ni Er even plans to build a few inns in a few locations, and Ni Er has already taken a stake in a brothel in Fenzi Alley. It is really diverse, with three religions and nine schools. You can rely on everything.

It can be said that this guy really showed him the way. He suddenly realized it as if he had taken medicine. Once he got on the road, he suddenly started running. Maybe any doorway could provide him with some unimaginable help in the future.

Feng Ziying briefly asked Ni Er about his development in the gray underground corridor in the capital city in the past six months. Ni Er naturally did not hide anything and spoke vividly, which made Feng Ziying sleepy.

"Well, Ni Er, as far as your current situation is concerned, it's pretty good, but the population in Beijing has increased dramatically recently. I heard that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department and the patrol camp are also overcrowded?"

"Sir, seven or eighty thousand people have poured in at this moment. Not to mention those who come from outside to beg for food. Even those restless people in our capital city are unwilling to give up such an opportunity." Ni Er said with a wry smile: " The Ministry of Punishment and the Shuntian Prefecture are both busy, but think about it. The wealthy gentry families in the seven or eight counties in the north have brought their children and daughters to move their belongings in. There are so many fat sheep. You said those who are fishing for the sidelines will not take this opportunity to eat. One mouth? But I can guarantee that the people below me will never reach out, but if they come to the casino and get ripped off, then it has nothing to do with me. "

“Isn’t Jia Rui like a fish in water in your silver hook gambling house?” Feng Ziying joked.

Ni Er was a little embarrassed, "Well, Jia Rui is no longer at Silver Hook Gambling House,..."

“Oh, he doesn’t lend money anymore?” Feng Ziying was still a little surprised. Can this guy improve?

“No, no, he has gone to Yunding Casino now.” Ni Er lowered his head.

 “Whose?” Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows.

"It's still ours. Jia Rui felt that there were too many acquaintances at Silver Hook Gambling House, and it was not good to lend money to them, or not to lend money, so he went to the newly opened Yunding Gambling House, next to Nanxunfang." Ni Er finally paused, "There is another thing I need to tell you,..."

"What's the matter?" Feng Ziying was not interested in this. She just felt that Jia Rui seemed to be getting deeper into the identity of Long Jinwei's secret agent.

"It's about Miss Xing's family." Ni Er took a peek at Feng Ziying's expression.

"Girl from the Xing family? Xiuyan?" Feng Ziying was a little surprised. How could a girl like Xiuyan have anything to do with Ni Er?

"Yes, the father of the girl from the Xing family, who is also the brother of the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion, lost a lot of money gambling at Yingou Gambling House. Later, he borrowed money from loan sharks everywhere, and also borrowed a lot from Jia Rui, but that How can Xing Zhong afford such high profits? He just sinks deeper and deeper into trouble, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall..."

Feng Ziying finally realized that something had happened to Xing Xiuyan's father.

"Xing Zhong? Did he borrow Jia Rui's money?" Feng Ziying frowned, "How much did he borrow?"

“Not only did he borrow money from Jia Rui, but Jia Rui pressed hard, so Xing Zhong thought about repaying the money, so he borrowed a lot elsewhere, and wanted to go to the casino to turn over the money, but..."

 What else can the result be? Naturally, the hole will get bigger and bigger.

Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her forehead. How could Xing Zhong give birth to a daughter with such a clean and pure personality like Xing Xiuyan, but she was so unsatisfactory?

"Where is this Xingzhong now?" Feng Ziying had a good impression of Xing Xiuyan, especially since he was in a relationship with Miaoyu. If possible, he would naturally not want Xing Xiuyan to be involved in such a mess.

"Now it seems that they are hiding in Tibet. They don't owe much to Jia Rui, but they owe a lot to those outside. So Jia Rui is instigating Xing Zhong to marry Miss Xing to the Sun family and Sun Shaozu as a concubine. The Sun family will be able to Pay back the money for Xing Zhong." Ni Er glanced at Feng Ziying and said, "It seems that Mr. Pardon and the eldest wife also agree."
