Chapter 238 Swallow Gate
In the open space in the center of ááááá prison.
As soon as the daily exercise time arrived, the prison guards took Tang Shuo and others downstairs.
After checking everyone's body one by one, everyone had an hour of free time.
Jin, who was walking in front, had just finished being searched and walked directly to a cement stand in the corner of the open space.
After Tang Shuo was examined, he stood aside and waited for the old man behind him.
After the old man was examined, he immediately came up and asked, "What did King Kong say to you when you were going to dinner?"
Tang Shuo had behaved unruly once during his morning meal, so at lunchtime he became the focus of the prison guards' surveillance. The old man never found time to talk to Tang Shuo.
"He said he wouldn't let me go." Tang Shuo replied with a smile.
"Be smart. If you see something's wrong, run to the guards immediately." The old man's eyelids twitched, and he glanced in King Kong's direction and whispered to Tang Shuo. "But one more thing, be careful of the widow."
He didn't have any ill feelings towards Tang Shuo. He just gave him a few reminders because he thought Tang Shuo was more pleasing to the eye and was new.
Tang Shuo nodded and asked, "You said you were locked up for stealing something. What exactly happened?"
In fact, Tang Shuo was not very curious, but he was still very interested in the reasons given by the old man.
Logically speaking, even if someone killed three or five people, he wouldn't necessarily be sent to this place. How could this guy be locked up here just for stealing things?
The old man chuckled and shook his head, saying, "That was all in the past."
"Hmm?" Tang Shuo said, "Tell me about it."
The old man showed a proud look on his face and said to Tang Shuo, "Do you know the Swallow Sect?"
Swallow Gate, Swallow Eighteen Turns!
Tang Shuo showed a look of surprise on his face and asked, "Are you from the Swallow Sect?"
Tang Shuo had heard about the Swallow Sect gang from his lame master.
The Swallow Gate was formed during the Qing Dynasty and was a well-known gang of thieves. They made a living by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, and can be regarded as the authentic ancestors of the thief industry.
Almost everyone in the sect has the ability to climb walls and fly over rooftops. The most famous of them is the Eighteen Swallow Flips, which was also very famous at the time.
The most famous person in this sect is called Swallow Li San. He was most active during the Anti-Japanese War in the 1930s and 1940s.
Swallow Li San initially led the Swallow Clan to rob the rich and help the poor, and was highly respected in the Yanjin area.
But later, in pursuit of fame and fortune, this guy defected to the island nation. After the founding of the country, he was captured and killed, and since then, the Swallow Sect has disappeared.
If this little old man hadn't mentioned it, Tang Shuo would never have thought of this matter.
"Do you know the Swallow Gate?"
This time it was the old man's turn to be surprised. He originally wanted to give Tang Shuo a brief introduction, but he didn't expect that this guy actually knew it.
"Yeah." Tang Shuo nodded and said, "My master once mentioned it to me, but the people from the Swallow Sect have disappeared. Why are you here?"
The old man shook his head and said with great regret: "It's a long story."
"Tell me, there's nothing to worry about anyway." Tang Shuo looked at the old man with burning eyes. Suddenly, a very bold idea came into his mind. If his guess was correct, then this old man was exactly the person he needed most now.
The old man thought about it and felt that it was no big deal to tell the other party, and it was rare to meet someone who had heard of the Swallow Gate's name, so naturally he wanted to show off.
He smiled and said to Tang Shuo, "What do you know about the Swallow Sect?"
"I know Yan Zi Li San." Tang Shuo replied immediately.
The old man nodded and said, "Then I will start by introducing you to this Swallow Li San."
The old man gathered his thoughts and began to speak, "Swallow Li San was the leader of the Swallow Sect at the time. Instigated by an elder within the sect, he decided to defect to the island nation. However, a different voice emerged within the sect, and from that moment on, the Swallow Sect split in two."
Internal strife among sects is common no matter where you are, so what the old man said is quite normal.
"Afterwards, many things happened. The branch led by Li San was destroyed, and the branch that split off was also suppressed. Fortunately, the incense was passed down." The old man said, "However, there were only three people left in the sect at that time. Besides my father, there were two elders from my own family surnamed Shi."
"To revive the Swallow Sect's former glory, my father and the other two decided to begin recruiting new forces." The old man then gave a wry laugh and said, "But no one expected the sect to expand so rapidly. It was too late to stop it, and then the Swallow Sect also attracted the attention of the country."
After hearing this, Tang Shuo also understood the general idea.
I just don’t know how the few people from the Swallow Sect at that time managed to develop a sect with only three people to the level that attracted the attention of the country.
However, the ending of the Swallow Gate at this time was predictable. How could the country tolerate the development of such a gang?
"Later, my father's generation passed away, and the Swallow Sect was passed down to me. I was then wanted by the nation." A smug look suddenly appeared on the old man's face. He continued, "I was forced to flee from place to place, hiding for nearly ten years. But I wasn't idle either. In those ten years, I expanded the sect's membership to all parts of the country. However, I was eventually captured, and they sent me here."
"Why didn't we hear the name of Swallow Gate later?" Tang Shuo asked.
The first half of what the lame master told him was consistent, but according to what the old man said, the Swallow Sect should have a great reputation, so why did the master say that the Swallow Sect had disappeared?
"Of course most people haven't heard of it." The old man said, "Do you think everyone is qualified to be a member of the Swallow Sect? Most people are just peripheral members."
"According to what you said, if he's a thief, he's related to your Swallow Sect?"
"That's right," the old man said proudly, "If you haven't heard of the thieves from Swallow Gate, then you're not a qualified thief."
Tang Shuo's already extremely fiery gaze instantly turned red. This old man is truly a talented person!
This trip to prison was not in vain!
"How long have you been locked up?" Tang Shuo asked.
"It's been almost ten years." The old man thought for a while and said.
"If you go out, will you still be able to command the people of Swallow Gate?"
"Of course." The old man said, "Back then, I personally confirmed almost every member. After I was captured, I entrusted the sect to a close friend of mine. The Swallow Sect will not be in chaos."
"No matter where you lose something in the country, as long as you report the name of our Swallow Gate, the item will definitely be returned to you intact." The old man then said proudly to Tang Shuo.
As if thinking of the environment he was in, the old man shook his head with a look of regret and said, "But you probably won't have the chance to try it."
"What if I can go out?" Tang Shuo asked with a smile.
go out?
The old man didn't even think about it and immediately replied, "That's absolutely impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Tang Shuo looked at the old man and said seriously, "Maybe I can take you out too."
The old man pointed to the shackles on his feet and shook his head. "If I didn't have these, I might still be able to try with my abilities, but now there's no chance at all. I still want to live for two more years."
"Then let's make a bet." Tang Shuo said, "If I can take you out, you have to help me do something."
The old man sneered and said, "If you can really take me out, I'll give you whatever you want."
Tang Shuo said very confidently: "I don't want anything else from you, you just have to promise to help me." Chi Jin came to blood.
The old man thought Tang Shuo was delusional and shook his head, saying, "Alright, let alone helping you, even if you asked me to take the bullet hole, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment."
"Okay, then it's a deal." Tang Shuo said with a smile on his face.
He had never expected that running into here would bring him such an unexpected gain. If he had known about this place earlier, he would have come here on his own initiative.
