Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 22 Rules
The world of martial arts changed inadvertently.

The Money Gang seemed to have suddenly emerged from a corner of the underworld.

They act very domineeringly and have their own rules.

The underworld became chaotic as a result.

However, no matter how chaotic the Jianghu was, it would not affect the hotels. On the contrary, because the Jianghu had been in chaos recently, the hotels had become the gathering places for Jianghu people and became more lively.

In a corner of the world, there is a Fulai Inn, which sits next to the official road running north and south. There are many people coming and going in the world, so the business is quite prosperous.

There was a small table in the dining room of the inn. An old man in a blue cloth gown was smoking a pipe and said loudly, "Do you know the most sensational news in the martial arts world? What happened recently?"

Next to him was a young girl with two long braids.

The girl's eyes were black and bright, and a glance at her seemed to be able to capture a man's soul.

She said, "Isn't the biggest thing in the underworld the money gang?"

As soon as the "Money Gang" was mentioned, the dining room full of people suddenly became quiet, and they all turned their eyes to the old man.

People in the underworld change color when they hear about the Money Gang.

An old man wandering around the world dares to talk about the Money Gang. Is he trying to kill himself?

Although the old man was old and dry, his eyes were very bright. When he turned his eyes, everyone felt that he was glaring at them.

"Hong'er. The Money Gang is one thing, and there is another thing, the Plum Blossom Thieves!" said the old man while smoking.

The girl with pigtails said, "Plum Blossom Thief? I don't think I've ever heard of him!"

The old man smiled and said, "You are ignorant. The Plum Blossom Thief has appeared twice in the past few decades, but the crimes committed by all the heroes in the two rivers and green forests combined are not as many as his!"

"Robbery, rape, and looting, all kinds of evil!"

The girl with braids said, "So powerful? Then he must be a vicious and evil person?"

The old man sighed and said, "That's not right."

The girl with braids said, “Something is wrong!”

The old man said, "The Plum Blossom Thief is a girl."

Upon hearing this, discussions broke out throughout the dining room.

The old man said slowly: "It can't be said that it's just a girl, but a girl hooking up with the scum in the underworld. It can be said that the Plum Blossom Bandits are a group of people, and their leader is a girl!"

"Still the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, Lin Xian'er!"

The girl with braids was shocked and asked, "Ah? How could a woman be so cruel?"

The old man added: "And the people who caught this girl and exposed her were none other than the Money Gang!"

The girl with pigtails said, "So the Money Gang is the good guys? They even catch bad guys!"

The old man shook his head again and said, "The Money Gang captured the Plum Blossom Bandit not for the sake of justice, but because the Plum Blossom Bandit broke their... rules!"

When the word "rules" was heard, the hall, which was originally noisy, suddenly became quiet.

The money gang and the rules seemed to have magic power that made them shut up!

The old man tapped the tea table next to him with his pipe, on which there was a pamphlet.

There are only two words on the booklet.

"rule".

Everyone in the underworld will change color when seeing these two words.

Because the rules are the rules of the Money Gang, and the rules are the rules of the Money Gang.

The old man said, "The Money Gang has a lot of rules, so many that they are almost cumbersome!"

Most of the people in the martial arts world in the dining room nodded.

The Money Gang has a lot of rules, which are strict not only to outsiders but also to people within the gang.

If you abide by the rules of the Money Gang, you will gain the protection of the Money Gang and receive rewards from the Money Gang.

If you don’t comply...you will lose your money and your life!
They are free in the underworld, but the rules of the Money Gang are more numerous than those of the government. How can they tolerate this?

But I have to endure it because the Money Gang is too powerful!
In the underworld, some people are tired of the rules of the Money Gang, but more frustrated people join the Money Gang.

In the Money Gang, those underworld people gain power, authority, and money, and the only thing they pay is to abide by the rules of the Money Gang!

The underworld became divided as a result, with some welcoming the Money Gang and others hating it.

Welcome or loathed, the money gang is there.

The girl with braids said, "Grandpa, these are the rules that people in the underworld must abide by. What does this have to do with us?"

The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Hong'er, you are right. We are not from the underworld!"

Since you are not a gangster, you naturally don’t worry about the rules of the Money Gang.

The girl with braids said, "Grandpa, everyone knows what you said, so don't exaggerate about the money help! They didn't give you any money!"

The old man said with a smile: "If I said something that everyone knows, you wouldn't be here to listen to me!"

The girl with braids said, "What are you going to say?"

The old man said: "I want to talk about the two leaders of the Jinqian Gang, Li Xunhuan and Shangguan Jinhong!"

The two leaders of the Money Gang immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

But the old man suddenly stopped talking.

The girl with braids seemed very anxious and kept asking, "Why don't you say anything, old man?"

The old man took a puff of his pipe and slowly blew the smoke out of his nostrils.

The girl with braids rolled her eyes, clapped her hands and said, "I see, you want to drink!"

Now not only did she understand, but the people in the dining hall also understood, and they all reached into their pockets to pay. They also wanted to hear the rumors about the two leaders of the Money Gang.

The girl with braids took out a tray from somewhere and started collecting money.

It wasn't much money, just some small change and copper coins.

Suddenly, a golden light came from the second floor of the dining room and landed on the tray of the girl with braids.

It was a gold ingot weighing ten taels.

Along with the gold, there was a clear voice saying, "Good job! You deserve a reward!"

The girl with braids looked toward the second floor and saw two people sitting and drinking, and one of them, dressed in a brocade robe, was throwing gold.

"Thank you, sir!" the girl with braids shouted to the second floor.

The man in the brocade robe just turned around and smiled at her. There was an evil charm in his smile that startled the girl with braids.

She had never seen anyone smile so strangely.

When the old man saw the people on the second floor, his eyes changed.

He clearly didn't see the two of them just now.

He coughed lightly and continued, "The leader of the Money Gang is Li Xunhuan, the Little Li Tanhua."

The girl with pigtails said, "If there is a Little Li Tanhua, there must be a Big Li Tanhua?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right! Li Xunhuan is a son of an aristocratic family. He has been a distinguished scholar for generations. He can be said to be extremely prominent. He has won the imperial examination seven times in three generations. It's a pity that he has never won the first place in the imperial examination."

"By the time of Li Tanhua's generation, his two young masters were extremely talented and brilliant."

"Old Li Tanhua has placed all his hopes on the two young masters, hoping that they can win the first place in the imperial examination to make up for his shortcomings."

"What a pity... The elder Li took the exam and got a third place again. Everyone was very unhappy and hoped that the younger Li could do better. But fate was not in our control and he got a third place again in the exam."

"The old scholar died two years later out of disappointment. Then, the eldest scholar, Li, also got an incurable disease. All that was left was..."

　"Rules", "Emotional Intelligence", "Cards" and FGNB!
