乔帮主坐在空场前面的一只石辗子上,后面是一座座映衬蓝天白云之下的粮仓。Treebigtall and strongfigure, becauseyear to year the practical trainingon the ship, both feet and armappearsexceptionallysturdydeveloped, looks likesits squattinglikeonein the brave fighter of place, howeveronhisfaceactuallyfullisirresoluteandanxious, thisweakfacial expressionhas formed the strikingcontrastwithhistall and strongfigure.
乔木高大魁梧的身材,因为常年在船上劳作,双足和手臂显得异常粗壮发达,看起来就像一只踞坐于地的猛虎,但是他的脸上却满是徨与忧虑,这种软弱的神情与他魁梧的身材形成了强烈对比。Qiaoin the tax-grain forwarding stationwas an aristocratic family, was not the ShandongWealthy and prominent familyorpass/testGansuaristocratthataristocratic family, butwas the aristocratic family of travelling about as acrobat.

乔家在漕行里算是一个世家了,不是山东高门或者关陇贵族那种世家,而是跑江湖的世家。乔木从上五代起就是干漕运的,子子孙孙一直以跑船为生。TreebodyleftstandshisSecond Brotherhigh forest, the bodyrightis standingThird BrotherQiaoSen, the both sidesassumeare„alongcharactergate that” the wild gooseplumeshapestandsinelitebackbone, altogether20youngjuniors.

乔木身左站着他的二弟乔林,身右站着三弟乔森,身后两侧呈雁翎状站立的就是“顺字门”里的精英骨干,一共20名年轻子弟。同三位长辈的沉重忧虑不同,他们紧攥着钵大的拳头,愤怒的胸膛就像风箱似的一起一伏,似乎憋忍着极大的愤怒。
The treelong time, longexhalesone breathsilent, the sinkingsound track: „A Qing!”
乔木沉默良久,长长呼出一口气,沉声道:“一清!”
The man of bronzeskinandbigeyethick eyebrowstreads the previousstep, holds the fist in the other hand saying: „Disciplein!”
一个古铜色皮肤、大眼浓眉的汉子踏前一步,抱拳道:“弟子在!”Thisperson of surnamed Zhuo, calledZhuoYiqing, 30over, were`along the charactergate, leader in younggeneration.
这人姓卓,叫卓一清,30出头,是‘顺字门,年轻一辈中的领军人物。QiaoMudao: „Iftodaycannot settlethismatter, weconsidered as finishedalong the charactergate, thisis the baseindustry that myQiaoancestorhands down from generation to generation, Qiaois duty-bound, onlyonediesto the ancestorcapital crime! After Idie, you...... Leads the brothersto invest the `flood dragonmeeting.”
乔木道:“今天若是摆不平这件事,咱顺字门就算完了,这是我乔家祖宗传下来的基业,乔某人责无旁贷,唯有一死向祖宗死罪!我死之后,你……就带着兄弟们投入‘蛟龙会,吧。”ZhuoYiqingbeing in an uncontrollable ragetunnel: „Gatemaincansaylike thisthatwhichbrotherswedo haveto covet life and fear deathalong the charactergate? At the worstwewill spellwiththeirflood dragon, whodares the disloyalnon-righteousness, bulliesMasterMiezu, myfirstextinguishedhim!”
卓一清怒不可遏地道:“门主怎么能这样说,咱们顺字门有哪一个兄弟是贪生怕死的?大不了咱们就跟他们蛟龙会拼了,谁敢不忠不义,欺师灭祖,我第一个灭了他!”
The treeshakes the head, saidgrieved: „Brotherswhichis not tied down by care of one's family, the whole familieswaitto support, spells? Youspellwithotherswithwhat, can wespell? IsmyQiaoincompetentcannot preserveancestral legacy of property, myQiaostrengthundertakes, does not needyouto worry!”
乔木摇摇头,惨然道:“弟兄们哪一个不是拖家带口,有一门老少等着养活的,拼?你拿什么跟人家拼,咱们拼得起吗?是我乔某人无能・保不住祖业,我乔某人一力承担,不用你们操心!”
A ZhuoQinghua Universitysound track: „Sincemysurnamed Zhuoquackfalls to the ground, onpersonalongcharactergateship! FreshIalongcharactergateperson, death, Ialongcharactergateghost!

卓一清大声道:“自打我姓卓的呱呱落地,就是顺字门这条船上的人!生・我是顺字门的人,死,我是顺字门的鬼!背主投敌的小人,我做不来!兄弟们也做不来!兄弟们,人家要吞了咱顺字门,你们答不答应?”„Does not comply! Spelledwiththem!”
“不答应!跟他们拼了!”20guys, the facial expressionexceptionallyis with one voice heroical. The treeflies into a ragestaresZhuoto scavenge: „NowIam suitable for the characterall tradesLord, myorder, do youdarenot to listen?”
20条大汉异口同声,神情异常壮烈。乔木勃然大怒・瞪着卓一清道:“现在我还是顺字门门主,我的命令,你敢不听?”ZhuoYiqingin a terrified wayutmostkneels downhurriedly, said: „Discipledoes not dareto disobey orders, butmayorderlike this, the disciplecannotlisten!” Speaking of the putting in great inconvenienceplace, a bigmankissed the groundto cryunexpectedly.
卓一清惶恐之至・急忙跪倒,道:“弟子不敢抗命,可・・・・・・可这样的命令,弟子不能听!”说到委屈处,偌大的一条汉子竟然伏地大哭。ZhuoYiqingis so terrified, treehowseverity, in facttheysaid are actually the gangs, ratheris the consanguinity. As soon astheywere borninherit the person of father's generation, has becomealongcharactergateonetreeistheirperson of father's generation'sbrothers, istheiruncleuncle, untilgrowing uptheyembarkto work, thishadhigh and lowdistinct, had the guild regulationsrestraint.
卓一清如此惶恐,倒不是乔木如何的严厉,实际上他们说是帮会,不如说是同族。他们一出生就继承父辈,成了顺字门的一员・乔木是他们父辈的兄弟,是他们的叔父伯父,及至长大成人・他们上船做事,这才有了上下分明、有了帮规约束。Reason thathesoterrified, isguild regulations that because the water transporthelpssevere the charge that disobeys ordershecannot undertake.
他之所以如此惶恐,是因为漕帮的帮规严厉・抗命的罪名他承担不起。Sincethere is a transporting grain by water, water transporthusbandsgather the agglomeratenaturally, thenformedownoneset of customgradually, the water transporthas helpedto conduct the managementin the standard of paramilitary.
自打有了漕运,漕夫们自然而然地聚拢成团,渐渐便形成了自己的一套规矩,漕帮一直是以准军事化的标准进行管理的。Does the transporting grain by water, every yearthe end of Januarymuststartfrom the family/home, harnesses the shipto rush toYangzhou, approximatelyafteronemonthconcentrates and local grainshipmentinYangzhou, thengets downcontinuesto install the grainfromeach regiongrainproduction area, in Aprilenters the Bian Riverafter the Huai River, six in Julyarrives in the Yellow Riverriver mouth.
干漕运的,每年一月末就要从家里启程,驾船赶往扬州,大约经过一个多月的时间・在扬州集中并将当地粮食装船,然后一路下去・从各地粮产区继续装粮,四月份经淮河进入汴河,六七月份到达黄河河口。At this timeswelledon the Yellow River, theirshipsmustin the river mouthwharfand othermonth, after eight in SeptemberYellow Rivergutter, enteredLuo Riverafter the Yellow River, transported toLuoyang the grain, somegrain shipsunloaded cargoinLuoyang, othershipscontinuedto trace the riveron, entered the GuanzhongcanalafterimportantSanmen Straits, finallytransported toChang'anthroughWeishui.
这时正逢黄河涨水,他们的船要在河口码头等一个多月,待八九月份黄河水落后,才经黄河进入洛水,将粮食运抵洛阳,一部分粮船在洛阳卸货,其他的船只继续溯河而上,经过险要的三门峡进入关中水道,最后通过渭水运抵长安。As the matter stands, theyninemonthsmustflutterevery yearon the water surface, only thenthreemonths, because the river courseices upto be ablewith the family memberto reunite. Intheseninemonths, theyare defendingoneselfship, is carryingshipshipgrain, through the transportationaorta of empire, is transporting the bloodforit, is providing the nutrient.
这样一来,他们每年有九个月要飘荡在水面上,只有三个月时间因为河道结冰才能与家人团聚。这九个月里,他们守着自己的船,载着一船船粮食,通过帝国的运输大动脉,为它输运着血液,提供着养份。Ifin the armysoldierdoes not obey the military order, is not necessarily ableto affect the destiny of entirearmy, ison the ship, eachsailorhasheunreplaceableposition, oncehas idled, is the entireshippersonis buried along with the deadforhim. Thereforeon the shipmusthavesomestrictstipulations, sometimesalsowants the severeguild regulationsto restraineverybodybynearly the military disciplinecompared with the military discipline.
军队中若是有一名士兵不服从军令,未必能影响整个军队的命运,可是在船上,每一名水手都有他不可替代的位置,一旦有所懈怠,就是整船人为他陪葬。所以船上必须有一些严格的规定,以近乎军规有时比军规还要严厉的帮规来约束大家。Insailing a boatprocess, which thornbossifthere isto dare the disobey orders, the horsetied the arms the stonesinkingriverexecutionto be perfectly justified, even if the bereavedalsotacitly approvedthiscustom. Ifreportedthat the government authorities are also tacitly consented totheir„guild regulations”, will not acceptby the no evidence found, but the bereavedwill be abandonedbyallwater transportgangs, gave up any idea of that holdsthisagainindustry.
在行船过程中,如果有哪个刺头儿敢违抗命令,马上绑了石头沉河处死是天经地义的,就算死者家属也默认这种规矩。如果举报,官府也是默许他们的“行规”的,会以查无实据不予受理,而死者家属则会被所有漕帮抛弃,休想再执此业。Theyareonecrowdput under the regulation, drifts awaybeyond the regulation, there is onesetseverely„law”restrainsownperson, stricting enforcement of orders and bansstrictis stronger than of the army, gradually, formedoneto have the specialteam of gangtraditionandarmy's nature, therefore the treesaidhimto disobey orders, ZhuoYiqingterrified.!
他们是一群置于律法之下,又游离于律法之外,有自己一套更严厉的“法律”约束自己的人,令行禁止之严格比军队还要强,久而久之,就形成了一支带有帮会传统和军队性质的特殊队,所以乔木说他抗命,卓一清才大为惶恐。!„Ha, touching, is really tootouching! Wenas ifcomesis nottime, XuXiaolian, otherwiseweagainwaits, whenMasterQiaoprocessestheirhousework, wediscussedagain.”
“哈哈哈,感人,实在是太感人啦!文某人似乎来的不是时候啊,徐孝廉,要不然咱们再等等,等乔帮主处理完他们的家务事,咱们再谈。”
A mystifyingsoundresoundssuddenly, the person of speech20about, the shortclothestrousersleatherboots, the clothesbodyis thin, with his bean sprouts„slender”figure, fine meshpaleeyebrow, a faceis frivolous, the walkingthighis clamping, the buttockswobble from side to sidea littlelikelywoman of acting coy, is„flood dragonmeeting”fewmasterWenbin.
一个阴阳怪气的声音忽然响起,说话的人20出头,短衣长裤革靴,衣身瘦窄,衬着他那豆芽菜儿似的“苗条”身材,细眼淡眉,一脸轻佻,走起路来大腿夹着,屁股一扭一扭的有点像个忸怩作态的女人,正是“蛟龙会”少帮主文斌。Masterwritinghadtwosons, is the youthearlyis young, thereforefavorsseriouslytothisyoungest son, tobe goodto supportis the girlto dress uphimspecially, finallygrew up is also an effeminacy.
文帮主原来有过两个儿子,都是少年早夭,因此对这个小儿子宠得不得了,为了好养活特意把他做女孩打扮,结果长大了也是一身脂粉气。SideWenbinalsowears the middle-aged person of slantinglapelazurerobeandcagemeshed hair covering, twocast aside the handlebar, is passingseveralpoints of dignityinrefined. Inthembehind, abouthundredpull the trouser legs coverings, to curl the guy of sleeves, is revealing the muscleseverearmcalf, a faceis fierce.
文斌身旁还有一位身着斜襟青袍、头笼网巾的中年人,两撇八字胡,于斯文中透着几分威严。在他们身后,还有近百名挽着裤腿、卷着衣袖的大汉,露着肌肉棱棱的胳膊小腿,一脸狰狞。Looks atthisstance, the tree is onestartled, the opposite partyexhibitsthistype of weaponry, it seems likedoes not wantto be friendly.
瞧这架势,乔木便是一惊,对方摆出这种阵仗,看来是不想善了啊。
The treebraces oneselfto welcometo the clothesmiddle-aged person of thathandlebar, holds the fist in the other handto salute saying: „ XuXiaolian, worked your honorable self, twogroups of juniorswere young and impetuous, occurslightlyhave conflicted, get so far asthisratherto injurenowfriendly.
乔木硬着头皮迎向那个八字胡的青衫中年人,抱拳施礼道:“徐孝廉,劳动您老大驾了,两帮子弟年轻气盛,发生了一点小冲突,弄到现在这样未免伤了和气。XuXiaolianyouof noble character and high prestige, but alsolooks atyou to mediate. ”
徐孝廉您德高望重,还望您能出面调停。”ThisMr.Xu is XuLin, originallywas a tribute student, participated in the oversizedsmall side gate, was honored as the juren. He is also the water transporthelps a people, isanotherbigwater transporthelp/gang„skyhawkhelp/gang”important personage.
这位徐先生叫徐林,本是一个贡生,参加过大闱,被尊为举人。他也是漕帮中人,是另一个大漕帮“天鹰帮”的重要人物。
The scholar of lacking the strength to truss up a chickenactuallybecomes an important personage of bigfaction, commandsonegroup of unrulyrivers and lakespeople, is the water transporthelps the characteristicsexactly. Because the water transporthelpsto be different from the greenwoodandunderworld gang, theylivein the gray area, not onlyhas the special characteristics of rivers and lakesperson, at something andmustobserve the system of government authorities.
手无缚鸡之力的读书人却成为一个大帮派的重要人物,统领一帮桀骜不驯的江湖人,恰是漕帮特色。因为漕帮和绿林、黑道不同,他们生活在灰色地带,既有江湖人的特质,在一些事情上又必须遵守官府的制度。
The tax graincollection and transportation, Imperial Courthas the specialorganizationmanagement, grewoneset of complicateunspoken rulesystem. The farmershand over the tax grainto the transporting grain by wateryamen, the messengerandpetty official who levies the rent paid in kindwill exploit layer upon layeruntil the official, in the name ofcontributingto consumeprofits at the expense of the state.
漕粮征收和运输,朝廷有专门的机构管理,随之就衍生了一套盘根错节的潜规则体系。农民向漕运衙门交漕粮,征收粮赋的差役、小吏直到官员会层层盘剥,以捐耗为名从中揩油。In the transporting grain by waterprocess, meetsGuanGuozha, the officials, petty officials, messengerandjanitorthesefloodgatemountain passes must layer upon layerexploit, does not satisfythemto create obstacles, draggingyou not to go through a strategic pass, harmed the deadlinelossisyour. Restswhenvariouswharvesstops, the local bullywill also collude with the officialto cause troubleto stir up trouble, extorts.
漕运过程中,逢关过闸,那些闸口关隘的官员、小吏、差役、杂役还要层层盘剥,不满足他们就予以刁难,拖着你不许过关,误了期限损失都是你的。在各处码头上歇停时,地头蛇也会勾结官员生事滋扰,敲诈勒索。Even iftoaquatic, bumps intogovernment boatto have the shipscanal boat of priority of startingalso to yield the way, ifothersaskyouto troubleintentionally, to the rivernarrowplacetowardthatcalorie, youmustwaitin the backimpatiently. Thesejoints, are nottheserivers and lakesmencansolvedepending on the military force.
即便到了水上,碰到官船等有优先通行权的船只漕船也要让道,倘若人家故意找你麻烦,到了河窄处往那一卡,你就得在后边心急火燎地等着。这些关节,都不是这些江湖汉子凭武力能解决的。
But if , whateverotherssuchexploit, theirlosseswere too big, in this case, the water transporthelpsonlyto be able the interactinggentries, has to dothroughthem and government authorities. The gentrieshave the personal connectionto haveinfluenceto have the right to speakin the authorities, theyact, the officialcannotlikeexploitcommon peopledirectlyunscrupulous.
可要是任由人家这么盘剥,他们的损失太大了,这种情况下,漕帮就只能交结士绅,通过他们和官府打交道。士绅在官面上有人脉有势力有话语权,他们出面,官员就不能像直接盘剥百姓那样肆无忌惮。Gradually, thesepeople, in the water transporthelps the statusbe getting higher and higher, the functionis getting bigger and bigger, someevenstrengtheninto the water transporthelp/gang, becomes one of the rivers and lakespeopleleaders. Currentlymaximumseveralwater transportgangs, allhave the gentriesto be involved, evenoperates the rudderin the backby the gentries.
久而久之,这些人在漕帮中的地位越来越高,作用越来越大,有些甚至加强入漕帮,成为这些江湖人的首领之一。目前最大的几家漕帮,全都有士绅参与其中,甚至是由士绅在背后掌舵。XuLincups one hand in the other across the chestto the treearch, faint smiletunnel: „MasterQiao, amongyouthismatterthorny. Mediatedaftermein every way, MasterXuShaowascompliesto meltGeis the rich silk, but, youmustcancel the wordsto merge into the flood dragonmeetingalong the charactergate, everybodyhenceforthhas become the person on one's own side, someconflictsnaturallywere notanything!”
徐林对乔木拱拱手,似笑非笑地道:“乔帮主,你们之间这件事棘手的很呐。经我多方说和,徐少帮主算是答应化戈为玉帛了,不过,你们顺字门得取消字号并入蛟龙会,大家从此成了自己人,些许冲突自然就不算什么了!”Treeonehear of facial expressionshave stagnated, thisis the conciliatorycondition that the flood dragoncanput forward, whichXuXiaolianthismediates, clearlystandsone side the flood dragonmet.
乔木一听神情就凝滞了,这本来就是蛟龙会提出的和解条件,徐孝廉这哪是从中斡旋,分明就是站在蛟龙会一边了。As soon astreebehind more than 20discipleslistenedto explode: „To annexusalongcharactergate, gatedoes not have, wedo not comply!”
乔木身后的20多个弟子一听就炸了:“想吞并我们顺字门,门儿都没有,我们不答应!”„Right! Would rather die thanto comply!”
“对!宁死不答应!”In a distant placevacant place, a headhas wrappedblack cloth, wearsblack clothingBuQun, the youngcountry girl of bending the waistforkgrassgained groundsuddenly, is wiping the sweat of foreheadwith the hand back, turns headoneto floattothis side.

远处一片空场上,一个头上包了青布帕,身穿青衣布裙,弯腰叉草的小村姑忽然抬起头来,用手背拭着额头的汗水,扭头向这一边一漂。她的身姿这一挺拔,美好的酥胸顿时呈现出一道动人的圆弧,而那窄细的腰身则凹出一道魅惑的曲线。„Probablycanbegin?”
“好像要动手了呢?”

旁边一个身材魁梧的汉子拄着手中的竹耙站定,把压到眉际的竹笠微微抬高了些,一双锐利的眼睛向那边冷冷一瞥,蹙眉道:“差不多有200号人呢,小妹,你行不行?”
