The conversation was divided into two parts. On the afternoon of the same day when Huang Donglai and his friends entered the city, there was also a person entering the south gate of the capital.

This man was wearing coarse clothes and a big bag hanging on his shoulders, and he came hiking.

His skin was dark or dirty, just like a muddy, with a beard on his face and a large piece of rotten sore on his right face. It looked so hard that it was so ugly.

This kind of man with dirty and ugly appearance and simple clothes, and he didn't look like a man with weapons. He was obviously not a rich and powerful businessman or a capable figure in the martial arts world. So when he followed the crowd into the city, no one took him seriously.

However, if you let a master with great eyesight observe carefully, you will find that this person's body shape and footwork are much more stable and lighter than ordinary people, and the skin color at the base of his neck is different from the upper part of his neck and the face...

That is, this is a disguised person.

A person who deliberately hides his true appearance because he doesn't want to attract too much attention.

So who is he?

I think everyone has guessed that he was Sun Yixie, who came to Beijing from Hangzhou all the way north after receiving a letter from Huang Donglai.

In theory, Sun Yixi's journey here is shorter than Huang Donglai and others, and the road to East China is easier to walk, so he should have arrived earlier. However, because he wanted to spend more time at home and spend more time with his family and to clean up the impact Murong Ji had on their family's business, he stayed in Hangzhou for a while before setting off.

It was a coincidence that he and Huang Donglai and his group arrived in the capital on the same day.

Although Sun Yixie is a domineering Jiangnan, he has eaten and seen it, but this big capital is the first time he has come back today. Therefore, like Huang Donglai, after Brother Sun entered the city, he also felt everything was fresh.

Considering that his disguise was quite time-consuming, Sun Yixie decided not to go to the inn to remove his makeup and to take a walk around the city before sunset.

So he wandered around the city, stopping and stopping along the way, watching people performing arts in the east, listening to people singing music in the west, buying a few items in the south, and tasting a few snacks in the north... It can be said that he has come into contact with many local customs and customs in the capital in a short period of time.

After visiting this for more than an hour, Sun Yixie was suddenly attracted by a scent of fragrance. After searching for it for a while, he walked into a small fly restaurant on the side of the road.

The owner of this restaurant is Chen. He is in his fifties. When he was young, he studied with famous chefs for a few years. After getting married, he started his career here by relying on his skills. He started slowly from the small stall at the beginning. After more than 20 years, he has the current store.

On weekdays, Boss Chen is only responsible for cooking in the kitchen, and his son-in-law is responsible for checking out, serving the dishes and collecting the table, and greeting customers. The boss's daughter is behind the kitchen and washing dishes. When business is busy, she will come out to help serve the dishes.

Old Chen also has an old man who was a little helping in the store because he had been tangled with his little feet, so he stayed at home to bring two young grandchildren.

It’s just such a small shop, such an ordinary family. They have been operating for many years by selling delicious home-cooked meals. They have a good reputation and neighbors are also taking good care of their business.

At this moment, Sun Yixie walked into the store and glanced at it and found that the room was quite lively. Except for a small table in the corner, the other tables were full, but he didn't mind where to sit, as long as the food was delicious.

When Brother Sun sat down in the corner by himself, the boss's son-in-law had already come forward to greet him. Sun Yixie didn't think much about it, ordered a pot of wine and a bowl of rice, and then asked the chef to stir-fry two special side dishes for him at will.

The boss and son-in-law were also very clever. When they saw Sun Yixi ordered rice instead of pasta or steamed buns, and then listened to his accent, they guessed that he was from the south. So they went to the kitchen and asked his father-in-law to make a fish and meat, and took care of the taste of the southern and northern dishes, so that guests could not only eat familiar dishes but also taste the taste that only in the north.

In this way, Sun Yixie waited for a while and his food came on.

The plate was put down and the fragrance rose. Sun Yixie looked down and saw that these two dishes were all full of color, fragrance and taste, and they made people drool. Before Sun Yixi could move, he knew that he was right today and would be able to have a feast for him.

However, at this moment, there were seven or eight street shops passing by the door of the store. The person in charge happened to glance at the store because of the aroma of the food, and saw the woman serving Sun Yixie.

At this time, because the store is busy, it is the boss's daughter who is responsible for serving the food.

This woman is twenty-six years old. Although she is already a mother of two children and usually does rough work, her appearance and figure are still beautiful.

Neighbors all said at that time: With the appearance of Chen Dashao, it is more than enough to find a wealthy family to be a concubine in the capital. As long as Chen Dashao is willing to nod, their family will never open any restaurant in the rest of their life, and they can live there while lying down.

But unexpectedly, Boss Chen later married his daughter to a hard-working child who had no father and mother and came to his store to work. There was no reason, but his daughter liked her, and this son-in-law was good to his daughter.

Now more than ten years have passed, and time has indeed proved that Boss Chen’s choice is correct: his son-in-law has always been very good to his daughter, and can also help him a lot in business. He is a diligent and thoughtful person.

But today, the couple is in trouble...

"Oh! This is a scene. I've hit this place every few days, why did I miss it..." The man outside the door saw the boss's daughter and couldn't pull it out at that time. While he was muttering this slut, he brought the seven big men behind him into the room.

Seeing this, the boss's daughter quickly walked back to the kitchen with the dish plate.

"Ha...all the guests, please stay." The boss and son-in-law also stepped forward very quickly, stopped the people, and squeezed out a smile, "Look, our shop is small, and it is already full..."

"What are you doing? You're going to drive people away as soon as you come in?" The man in the opposite direction barely moved his lustful eyes away from the direction where the boss's daughter disappeared, and changed into a coquettish expression, stared at the boss's son-in-law and said, "Do you know who the uncle is?"

"How can I not know this..." The boss and son-in-law really knew him, and immediately replied, "Who doesn't know you, Master Ma, in these few streets?"

In fact, it is not only the boss's son-in-law who knows him, but everyone who eats in this room knows him except Sun Yixie.

In the past two or three months, this Ma Er has quickly become a famous gangster leader in the nearby area and even half of the capital.

What, you asked what he did three months ago?

He was so angry that he hadn't come to the capital three months ago, so he was naturally making a fuss in his hometown.

Some people may find it strange when they see this. Is the gangster circle like Beijing a place where people who have just arrived for three months can get on the rise?

Of course not, unless... that person has power and backing.

Ma Er naturally has a backer, and his biggest backer is his elder brother Ma Xuansheng.

Although Ma Xuansheng and Ma Er were born from the same mother, they were not good people, but their personality and talent were much worse: Ma Xuansheng was very smart since childhood. He was successful in studying when he was a teenager, and was ambitious and skilled in scheming. His "bad" is the kind of traitor that usually only appears in politicians; while Ma Er (actually his real name is not Ma Er, but Ma Xuanyu, but he was too slutty since he was a child, and he didn't even call him Daming) was a natural gangster who was greedy for money and lust, tricky and vicious, and he would only eat and be lazy all day long and bully others by relying on his power.

Originally, the two brothers' families were just local tyrants, and their power was just average, far from comparable to the influence of Sun's mansion in Hangzhou, but unexpectedly, Ma Xuansheng became the top scholar in high school a few years ago and became an official in the court. He was soon regarded by Han Yu, the young master of the dynasty, and became one of Han Yu's disciples.

Because Ma Xuansheng's ability is really good and is highly appreciated by Han Yu, he was regarded as the target of training by Han Yu soon after.

It can basically be believed that when the crown prince ascended the throne several years later and Han Yu was the most powerful minister, Ma Xuansheng would probably be promoted to occupy a position at the level of Shangshu, as an important wing of Han Yu in the court.

In order to make Ma Xuansheng's future career go smoother, Han Yu colluded with eunuchs in the court to do another thing - choosing Ma Xuansheng as his son-in-law.

Yes, you should understand when you see this. He is the prince consort that Princess Zhu Qingxuan will marry soon...

To sum up, with Ma Xuansheng's rise to the top, the Ma family also came to the capital. It was settled three months ago. Now, when the good day of next month comes, the princess will officially pass by.

As the only brother of the future son-in-law, Ma Er has been playing in the gangster circle in the capital for the past three months.

There is a lot of people nearby, such as small vendors and good women, being harassed by him, but who can afford to be provoked by ordinary people? So people on the street hide far away when they see him.

At present, Ma Er accidentally saw that the female worker in this restaurant was quite beautiful, so he immediately became malicious and wanted to find trouble when he entered the door.

The shop owner's son-in-law also knew that he could not afford to offend this person, so he could only accompany him to smile and try to send these plague gods away, but this... isn't that easy?

"Why do you dare to talk to me like this when you know me?" Ma Er ignored the boss's son-in-law and pushed him aside, stepped forward, and shouted at the people at the restaurant who were eating, "Have you finished eating? Do you want Second Master, I to feed you personally?"

As soon as this is said, who dares to sit there and continue eating? If you don’t want to be beaten, please leave quickly.

So, in a blink of an eye, all the guests at the table stood up and went to the counter and left the money and ran away.

Ma Er and his seven gangster brothers immediately walked forward with a smile, squatted and sat down, and then tilted and occupied two tables.

"Why are you standing there? Come and greet me, can you ask me to invite you?" Ma Er sat down and said to his boss and son-in-law.

When the boss and son-in-law saw it, he knew that he had been sad today, but he had to pass it. He could only grit his teeth and go up. While packing the leftovers on the table, he smiled stiffly and said, "Yes, Second Master, you want to eat something, just call."

"Call it casually? Haha..." A senior gangster like Ma Er is very skilled in finding faults. When others say something normal, they can become a hook when they come to him. "Okay, that's what you said..." He paused, laughed at his acquaintances around him, and then said, "Master, I want to... boil beef ears with wine, cut white sheep's knees, steamed goose's palms, and smoked fish with lilies..."

Without saying this, the boss and son-in-law understood that it was terrible.

Not to mention ordinary families, even wealthy families can’t eat these dishes every day. Even if Boss Chen really knows how to make them, they can’t have enough ingredients in a home-cooked restaurant.

"Master, I'm sorry... We're a small business here, these dishes..." After a few seconds, the boss and son-in-law patiently listened to the other party's words and began to apologize.

"What?" Ma Er raised his voice before he could say those two words, "You want to say 'no'?"

Bang-

Ma Er then slapped on the table: "Hey! You guy... you asked me to 'call it casually'. Now that I'm saying such a big string, you just say 'no' and then sent me?"

As he said that, Ma Er grabbed the boss's son-in-law's collar, pulled his face closer, and glared at him fiercely and said, "Are you deliberately playing tricks on the second master? I think you don't want to do this business anymore!"

"Stop!" At this moment, the shop owner, the "Chen Dashao", finally couldn't help but pick up the kitchen knife from the kitchen. His daughter also followed him, holding a rolling pin in her hand, looking at her husband with concern.

"Hehe? Why? Liang guy, right?" Ma Er wasn't afraid of them. Can gangsters be afraid of good people? "In broad daylight, I will order some food, and you Liang guy is going to chop people? Is there any other kingly law? Are you afraid that you are not a black shop?" As he said that, he looked at the boss's son-in-law who was grabbed by himself, and then looked at the boss, "Old man, you are so chaotic... aren't you afraid that the government will deal with all the men in your family, leaving behind the orphans and widows... to be bullied?"

Ma Er's words were clearly intimidating and clearly stated that even if he didn't do anything, he would have a backer to ruin the other party's family.

"You..." Chen Dashao's forehead was threatened by this, and cold sweat fell from Chen Dashao's forehead. Not to mention that he only had a kitchen knife alone today, he would probably not be able to beat the other person. Even if he could drive these people away, what would be waiting for them in the future?"

"What do you want?" After a breath, Boss Chen's tone calmed down a little, and he asked gritted his teeth.

"Ha...it's easy to say." Ma Er let go of his boss's son-in-law and pushed him away. Then he pointed to the boss' daughter who was hiding behind his father. "Let that little lady come over first and have a few drinks with me. Maybe when my anger fades, I won't make things difficult for you."

Before he finished speaking, the gangsters around him had already focused their attention on the boss's daughter one by one, and all showed lewd smiles.

"Dad...I...I won't go..." The boss's daughter showed a look of fear and grievance at that time, and hid a little further.

Old Chen and his son-in-law were both angry, but they didn't know how to solve the situation in front of them.
