Chapter 215 The Thief King

"Grandpa, a few of us fell down, and today we met a master..."

Just when Honghu was sitting on the curb and thinking hard, four or five people gathered around him at some point, all of them were not very tall, and they belonged to the kind of characters that could not be found in the crowd.

These people are the orphans that Yu Honghu adopted in his early years. In the circle of thieves, the adopted orphans are generally not called masters, but gods.

Compared with some pickpocketing groups that controlled beatings and forced orphans to steal, Yu Honghu was undoubtedly more humane. He rarely abused these orphans, so after more than ten years, the orphans regarded him as an elder from the bottom of their hearts.

It's just that when Yu Honghu adopted orphans, most of them picked short children.

These children are well trained in professional skills, but they all look weak when they grow up. Their force value is too low. When encountering things like land grabs, they obviously can't compete with the gang of dragons crossing the river in the northeast.

So Yu Honghu also explained the matter to them clearly. Those who are willing to leave can go to other cities to hide their names, get married and have children safely, and those who don't want to leave, he doesn't force it, but don't beat him in the future. Flag up.

The five people in front of them all wanted to follow Yu Honghu out of the rivers and lakes. This time they came to Panjiayuan, which was considered the last madness, but now the faces of the five people were all ugly, and they stood in front of Yu Honghu with their heads down.

"San'er, I don't blame you for this matter, the godfather himself... also fell."

Yu Honghu's voice was a bit bitter. He has been stealing for more than 30 years. In the thief business, he can be regarded as an ancestor-level figure, but what happened today made him understand what it means to have people outside people and mountains beyond mountains.

"What? Grandpa, you...you fell too?"

When these thin young men heard Yu Honghu's words, their faces suddenly showed disbelief.

You must know that in the Thieves King Conference in the six provinces back then, the master's methods were superb. From a professional point of view, he was definitely at the expert level, and there were not many thief kings in other provinces who were better than him.

"The whole body was completely covered, and I didn't even leave my ingot..."

There was a wry smile on Yu Honghu's face. These boys were all his closest friends, and since he was about to withdraw from the arena again, there was no need for Yu Honghu to maintain his majesty and authority in front of them.

The ingot Yu Honghu mentioned was what he used to practice his hands. It was not the ancient ingot, but the Guangxu ingot. Like Yuan Datou, it was made of silver and slightly larger than the steel ingot.

As for the way of exercising, it is to play with the silver dollar in your hand, and use your fingers and muscles to control its rolling. Old thieves generally like to use this method to maintain their state.

It's just that the silver dollar that Yu Honghu had carried with him for many years was also touched by the other party in his pocket. This is the real thief, and Yu Honghu left nothing behind.

"Master, it's the same with us. Even the blades have been touched." After hearing what the master said, the young people also smiled wryly.

Their blades are usually caught between the fingers, and there is a spare at the neckline, but the blade at the neckline was taken away, and even the blade in the fingertips was gone. Damn it.

Yu Honghu pondered for a while, and asked, "San'er, Wu'er, you two have been with me the longest, have you ever found someone who is eye-catching?"

"God, you didn't see it, how can the two of us have that ability?"

The two young men who were asked by Yu Honghu shook their heads again and again, hesitated for a moment, and San'er said: "Master, could it be that group of Northeast people who did it? Want to force us to leave early?"

"Fart, just rely on them? I can steal it by myself, and they can't find Bei!"

Yu Honghu shook his head with a look of disdain, and when he was about to blow a few more words, he suddenly thought that people like himself were also stolen and left with skins. Thinking of this, Yu Honghu suddenly became dumb .

"Let's go, go find my master..."

Yu Honghu spat on the ground, stood up, and said, "A person who can do this job can't do it without decades of experience. Maybe Master can see something."

At this point, Yu Honghu was helpless, so he could only ask Miao Liuzhi for advice. Before liberation, he was a well-known thief king.
-
In Beijing in [-], the real estate industry was just emerging, and courtyards were still everywhere in the old city. Miao Liuzhi lived in a place where courtyards gathered near Jingshan Park.

However, this is not the inner city of the past. Most of the people living here are miserable, and the quadrangle courtyards are not very reasonable. There are sewage flowing everywhere and people's voices are noisy.

Turning left and right in the alley for a while, Yu Honghu and the others stopped in front of a house. This gate is not as grand as the mansion gate shown on TV. Except for the stone bars on both sides, it is the same size as an ordinary family. The doors are no different.

There was no doorbell by the door, just a rope hanging on it. After Yu Honghu pulled the rope twice, he waited quietly outside. After about a minute, there was the sound of the door opening inside.

"Honghu, why did you bring all the cubs here?" As the door opened, the figure of an old man with white beard and hair was revealed. It was Miao Liuzhi, the mentor of the thief king.

Miao Liuzhi is not tall, that is, about 1.7 meters. Perhaps it is because of his age. His figure is a little stooped, but his spirit is very hale and hearty. His eyes are particularly bright, as if he can read people's hearts.

"Master, I'm ashamed of you." Headed by Yu Honghu, the five or six people standing outside the door were all downcast like a defeated rooster. It was really embarrassing to say this.

Being forced to leave Panjiayuan by those Northeast people is like a scholar meeting a soldier. The two sides are not in the same system, and the price does not drop. But today, in the professional field, they were severely slapped in the face.

"Come in and talk, little San'er, and close the door." Miao Liuzhi glanced at several people, then turned and walked into the courtyard.

This is a very small courtyard house, with a total of three wing rooms in front, back, left, and right. The yard is only about ten square meters in size. Once six or seven people poured in, the place suddenly seemed a little narrow.

This courtyard house was originally lived in by two families, but after Yu Honghu was imprisoned again in the 90s, Miao Liuzhi moved out of Yu Honghu's residence, and with the filial piety money from the king of thieves from all over the years, the family took [-] yuan to the courtyard. I bought it.

Because Yu Honghu's king of thieves conference was too ostentatious, he was caught by the public security organs and almost wiped out the king of thieves from all over the north and south.

Without those junior disciples who came to the pilgrimage, Miao Liuzhi's life became more and more low-key. No one knew of his current residence except Yu Honghu and a few others.

"Honghu, look at your gloomy face, what happened?" When he came to the middle of the courtyard, Miao Liuzhi sat on the stone bench with a big horse and a golden sword, while Yu Honghu and his disciples stood respectfully. in front of him.

"Master, you always know about the fact that the people from the Northeast forced me to quit the capital."

Yu Honghu said with a face of shame: "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the market stall on the weekend to make another fortune, so I took you, Master, to fly away and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend the rest of my life, but... But today, it's planted. It's a big somersault."

"Have been blackmailed? The other party used it to rob?" Miao Liufing sized up Yu Honghu and the others, and said, "All of you have been searched, did you have a gun pointed at your head?"

Being able to travel across Shanghai before liberation, with a reputation resounding across the country, Miao Liuzhi is by no means a person who has made a name for himself. Taking a look at these apprentices and grandchildren, he can see that they are all penniless.

Before liberation, including some earlier years, when people went out, they carried either copper coins or gold bars. The old thieves could tell the clues from the depth of their footprints and the degree of sagging of their clothes.

But now people carry banknotes with them, and if they want to see how much money they are carrying, this kind of vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Up to now, people who can have the vision of Miao Liuzhi, I am afraid that in today's world No more than three people.

"It's not a robbery, master, the other party used handicrafts!" Yu Honghu's head drooped even lower, and he can be regarded as a well-known thief king in China.

In the early 90s, Yu Honghu once competed with the king of thieves in the north and south of the river. He stole 28 wallets at the Beijing train station in one day.

But this time, Yu Honghu was almost stripped of his pants by others, and he didn't even know about it, so he was ashamed and thrown home.

"What? Using handicrafts?"

Hearing Yu Honghu's words, Miao Liuzhi raised his eyelids and asked, "How many people are in the other party? Is it a partner or a solo gang?"

Stealing doors has existed for thousands of years, and there are various methods for just one word of stealing. Some thieves cooperate with each other in groups, using some tricks to attract the owner's attention, and then let their companions start stealing.

There are also some people who are highly skilled lone thieves. They don't need others to cover them at all, and they create conditions for themselves. No matter how deep the money is hidden, they can't escape their fingers.

"Master, it should be from the Dan Gang, and...and it seems that it was done by one person, and all the back hands I left were taken away by that person, even...even the Guangxu Yuanbao you always gave me is gone. "

"What? The back hand on the waist was also touched?"

Miao Liuzhi, who was originally as stable as Mount Tai, finally changed his face this time.

The back finger is the waist bag, which is used by old thieves to flee for their lives. They are usually kept close to the body, and you can find it with a slight movement. stolen.

Yu Honghu smiled wryly, and said, "Master, not only the backhand, but also the blades they had caught between their fingers, were taken away..."

The Flying Eagle blade was broken in half, and it happened to be caught between the fingers. In this case, it can be taken away by someone. That technique is simply miraculous, at least Yu Honghu has never heard of it.
