Fish Skin Alley, as the name suggests, is home to a group of fishermen who make a living on the Pearl River. They sell their catch in the market, and some of the fish skins that no one wants, and the fish off the water are collected by them to make fish sauce, so the fish skins are

The alley is filled with the fishy smell of fish sauce.

Zhao Chongfang didn't know exactly where Fang Youwei lived, but he only knew that it was in Yuskin Alley. So when he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Zhao Chongfang asked his men to go in to find out the news, while he stood with him at the entrance of the alley waiting for the news.

Yupi Lane is not big. After a while, a white man came out and said with a smile: "Board leader, Mr. Zhao, we found Fang Youwei's home, it's the third one inside!"

Zhao Chongfang nodded and walked into Yupi Alley with Zhao Fuxiang. The third house was not far from the entrance of the alley. At this time, the door opened and waves of women crying and begging could be heard inside.

Zhao Fuxiang walked into the door. There were two entrances to this courtyard, and three families lived outside. In front of the door of the wing on the left, a woman was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old was pinned to the ground by two white bodies.

, looking at the bruises on this kid’s face, he must have been beaten just now.

The woman was in her thirties, wearing a gray cloth blouse and a scarf on her head. Her body was covered with fish scales. She was probably collecting fish at home. When the woman saw Zhao Chongfang coming in, she quickly ran forward and knelt in front of Zhao Chongfang and cried.

: "Mr. Zhao, I don't know how my man offended Mr. Zhao, but my child is still young and immature. Please Mr. Zhao let my son go!"

Before Zhao Chongfang could speak, a white body next to him smiled and said: "Ignorance? Did your son come in just now with a knife and want to commit murder? If I hadn't been so nimble with my hands and feet, I would have almost been crippled by this kid!" After that, the white body kicked him.

On the side is a small dagger half a foot long.

The boy lying on the ground was still arrogant and cursed: "When you came in, you beat and scolded my mother, and you also ransacked everywhere. You took away the little money my mother had hidden. If I don't kill you, you will lose your surname."

square!"

Seeing that her son was still talking, the woman hurried over and blocked her son's mouth, saying, "Mr. Zhao, please don't be like him. He is still a child and doesn't understand the importance of things!"

Zhao Chongfang smiled: "You don't understand the seriousness? How do you know that you are using a knife to murder an official? According to the Ming Dynasty law, you must kill someone with a knife to pay for the crime! Even if you are underage, you will still be sentenced to exile!"

In ancient times, exile was a severe punishment second only to the death penalty. When the woman heard this, she even kowtowed and begged Zhao Chongfang to bypass her son.

Just then, a voice outside the door laughed and said: "Cui Niang, son, we will have a good life in the future!"

This voice belongs to Fang Youwei. In the morning, he defrauded Zhao Fuxiang of ninety taels of silver, gave Zhao Chongfang ten taels of silver as a favor, and then took the other silver to prepare to come back and run away with his wife and children. Anyway, information was not developed in the Ming Dynasty, so he only needed

He left the city of Guangzhou and found a place to hide in the countryside for a year and a half. When the limelight passed, no one would care about him.

But because Zhao Fuxiang didn't have much money at the time, he was given a money order from the bank for fifty taels. This thing was similar to a check in later generations. As long as you took the money order, you could go to the bank to withdraw the money.

Zhao Fuxiang's money order was naturally from the largest bank in Guangzhou, but the location was in the downtown area of ​​Dongcheng. Fang Youwei swindled the money in Beicheng, went to Dongcheng to exchange it for silver, and returned to Nancheng to prepare to take his family and run away.

Road, this torment will take a long time. But Fang Youwei is not worried. According to the previous rules, when Zhao Chongfang catches the meat ticket, he will be locked up for a few days and then extort money, so Fang Youwei thinks that he has plenty of time.

, he even bought two kilograms of braised pork head meat and a pot of soju on the way, thinking that his wife and children had not eaten meat for half a year, and now that they had money, they could eat as much as they wanted.

Fang Youwei had a good idea, but he didn't know that as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a group of white people standing in front of his house, led by Zhao Chongfang and Zhao Fuxiang. Fang Youwei was very smart, and when he saw this, he turned around and ran away, but

Liao Zhong was very agile. He stepped forward and kicked Fang Youwei over, then stepped forward and stomped on this guy until he couldn't move.

When Fang Youwei's wife saw the man in charge coming back, she shouted: "Master, what mistake have you made? Please make amends to Mr. Zhao, or Mr. Zhao will exile our son!"

When Fang Youwei saw his wife and children being arrested, and saw Zhao Fuxiang and Zhao Chongfang standing together, he immediately knew that he was going to be in trouble. He just didn't know how Zhao Fuxiang managed to win over Zhao Chongfang. But this is not the most important thing now.

Save your wife and children first.

Fang Youwei shouted: "Mr. Zhao, I know I was wrong. I will return the money to you right now!"

After speaking, Fang Youwei took out a pile of broken silver from his arms, including Zhao Fuxiang's silver and the silver he went to the bank to exchange for. Fang Youwei said: "Mr. Zhao, the villain only spent less than one tael of silver.

, everything else is here!”

Zhao Fuxiang stepped forward and looked at the silver. He estimated that it was more than seventy taels. Zhao Fuxiang asked: "Fang Youwei, you defrauded me of ninety taels. This is only seventy taels. The number is wrong!"

In order to save his son at this time, Fang Youwei didn't care about anything else and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, I gave Zhao Bantou ten liang of benefits!"

Before Fang Youwei finished speaking, Zhao Chongfang stepped forward and kicked him hard, scolding: "Fart, I won't take your money at all!"

Zhao Chongfang's actions angered Fang Youwei's son. He struggled and said: "You bastard, if you dare to kick my father, I will kill you when I get up!"

Zhao Chongfang laughed in anger and said: "Okay, you want to kill me? Now I will kill you first!"

After Zhao Chongfang finished speaking, he glanced at a white body, telling him to kill this kid. These white men were mentally and physically evil, and it was too easy to kill someone. The white body took a bucket filled with fish from the side,

He was about to push the boy into a bucket and drown him. When Fang Youwei's wife saw that her son was about to be drowned, she cried and cursed: "Fang Youwei, you bastard, I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness since I married you. Now Yu'er

Even if I’m going to die, I won’t be able to live anymore!”

When Fang Youwei saw that Zhao Chongfang was about to attack his son, he also begged hard, but how could he make Zhao Chongfang stop? Just when the white man was about to press the boy into the bucket, a man next to him said: "Wait a minute.

, I have something to ask this kid!"

Zhao Fuxiang came to the boy with a big belly, lowered his head and asked: "Boy, what is your name?"

Fang Youwei's son looked at Zhao Fuxiang with wide eyes and said, "Remember, my name is Fang Shiyu!"

Zhao Fuxiang was so surprised that he didn't laugh out loud when he heard this name. Is this guy Fang Shiyu? Then isn't his father Fang De? Isn't his mother Miao Cuihua?

Zhao Fuxiang turned around and looked at Fang Youwei. This guy didn't look like the fine work of Tiandihui. Also, Fang Youwei's wife, dressed like a rural woman, was not even remotely similar to the martial arts master Miao Cuihua in the movie.

Zhao Fuxiang thought about it. The legend of Fang Shiyu happened during the Qianlong period. It is estimated that this boy has the same name as Fang Shiyu.

Zhao Fuxiang asked: "Okay! Fang Shiyu, what do you want to do if I let you go?"

Fang Shiyu was still a twelve-year-old child, so what should he do? He was stunned for a while and said: "I want to avenge my parents!"

Zhao Fuxiang chuckled: "Revenge is very simple, do you dare to kill someone?"

Fang Shiyu's eyes were clearly panicked, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Dare! I dare to kill chickens and pigs, what's the difference between killing people?"

Zhao Fuxiang was very satisfied when he heard what Fang Shiyu said, and then said: "Fang Shiyu, your father cheated me of ninety taels of silver. He just admitted it. According to the law, he should be exiled. You know this!"

Fang Shiyu nodded, and Zhao Fuxiang said: "But sir, I am in a good mood today. I can let your father go, but there is one condition you must agree to. Sir, I think you are very cruel. From now on, you will follow me and be my godson."

How about it?"

Zhao Fuxiang fell in love with Fang Shiyu's unwillingness to admit defeat. Although this boy is small and weak now, he will definitely be a ruthless character in time. Zhao Fuxiang now lacks a personal bodyguard around him. Liao Dagui and the others want to train them as junior officers.

Fan Jian is a long-term follower, so he has no problem running errands, but he can't when he is really desperate.

On the other hand, the Fang Shiyu in front of me, although he is young now, his eyes are lively, and he has some ideas in his mind at first glance. At the same time, he dared to use the knife on those white bodies just now, and he is a person who is not afraid of anything. Keep this kind of person by your side and cultivate him for a while.

It's definitely a good material for blocking knives.

Before Fang Shiyu agreed, Fang Youwei on the side shouted: "Master Zhao, Master Zhao! The child is still young and immature, but he can't serve Master Zhao! The villain owes Master Zhao money, and the villain promises to pay back double the money to Master Zhao.

Please Lord Zhao, please be noble and let my son go!"

Fang Youwei has been around for a long time and knows that the people in front of him are definitely not good people. Look at the people led by that damn fat man Zhao Fuxiang. They are all very powerful. They are either soldiers or pirates. It would be better if they are pirates.

First, it would be troublesome for military households.

Military households in the Ming Dynasty were not free persons. Basically, if you became a military household, your descendants would all be military households. Although Fang Youwei had no fame, he was at least a scholar. He did not want his only son to become a military household.

The path to advancement is cut off.

Zhao Fuxiang ignored Fang Youwei and waved his hand to Liao Zhong to gag Fang Youwei. Then he said to Fang Shiyu: "Boy, I think you are just a fisherman in Yupi Lane. You follow your mother to make fish every day."

If you can't make a living, why don't you leave this poor place and go out with me to make a fortune? Do you want to be like your father, who has achieved nothing even in his thirties or forties? Do you want to live by defrauding outsiders' money?"

Zhao Fuxiang's words were like carrying little hands, tickling Fang Shiyu's heart. Zhao Fuxiang was right. Fang Shiyu was in a rebellious stage at this time. He had already had enough of going to the fish market to buy fish skins and fish to put into the water every day. Guangzhou

The house is a kaleidoscope. When he saw those wealthy businessmen on the dock spending their days living in debauchery, it was a lie that Fang Shiyu was not envious. Now that Zhao Fuxiang gave him such an opportunity, Fang Shiyu was indeed moved.
