Chapter 36: Original Sin 6

At that time, the industries under the name of the Shanghai Gang, including 13 restaurants, 9 brothels, 6 casinos and more than 20 shops of various kinds, were scattered in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jiangning, Suzhou and other places. In order to avoid risks, Shangguan Hongyang decided to sell all these fixed assets, and only kept two restaurants and a casino in Songjiang City as a designated activity venue in the gang.www.biquge.info Guyangyuan, the headquarters of the Shanghai Gang, is not far from Songjiang City, and if someone wants to do something about these restaurants and casinos, they naturally have to weigh it carefully. Under the leadership of Shangguan Hongyang, the main business of the Shanghai Gang was no longer direct sales activities, but instead collected protection fees, and started to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. In this way, the old backbone of the Sea Gang will not have to show up in the downtown for many years. A large number of surplus personnel freed up their hands and began to sell illicit salt, grain, cloth, etc., these businesses are not only highly profitable, but also relatively private, and basically do not have to worry about being targeted by the people of the Songjiang headquarters of the Sea Gang. Under Shangguan Hongyang's bold moves, he pointed out a new prospect for the Shanghai Gang to attract wealth and treasure, and soon won the unanimous support of thousands of people up and down the gang.

But at the same time, the reviews on the rivers and lakes are quite bad. Some people think that Shangguan promoted a dignified Chinese man, but he was seduced by a woman and was willing to be driven by the leader of the Japanese bandits, which was really embarrassing and insulting to the ancestors. Some people also believe that Shangguan promotes the greed for authority, and for the sake of the position of the leader of the Shanghai Gang, regardless of the distinction between Yixia and Xia, it is really a shame for everyone in the Ming Dynasty. They have called for a boycott of the Shanghai Gang, and at the worst of all, to drive the Shanghai Gang back to the sea. For these rumors, Shangguan Hongyang can naturally hear some of them, but he doesn't pay much attention to them. Until one day, three guests from Guyang Garden came unexpectedly.

At this time, it was already the spring of the following year. The wicker spreads out, and the peach, pear and rape blossoms bloom all over the mountains, and the air is filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers. On the lawn outside the hexagonal pavilion in the southwest of Guyang Garden, Shangguan Hongyang, Zuo Han, Koizumi Qianjia, and Koizumi Shenxiu were learning martial arts. Koizumi Qianjia made a move of "Changhong Butterfly" and knocked the long sword in Zuo Han's hand into the air, which made Zuo Han quite embarrassed. Originally, as soon as the battle under Tianma Mountain was over, Zuo Han should return to Beijing to resume his life. But because he was seriously injured, he was afraid of encountering danger along the way, so he appointed Zhang Tianquan, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, to go north for him on business, and he himself used his skills in Guyang Garden to heal his injuries, and from time to time he came to Koizumi Qianjia's side, and put some close. His admiration for Chika Koizumi is obvious. But what disappointed him was that although he was appreciated by Koizumi Nobushige and his wife, and his friend Shangguan Hongyang kept beating the side drum on the side, Koizumi Chika was always lukewarm to him, which made him quite depressed.

In this small half a year, Shangguan Hongyang has improved his swordsmanship rapidly because he has been learning from masters in the gang from time to time, and his attainments in "Zixia Divine Skill" have also made considerable progress. In contrast, Zuo Han was greatly injured by his vitality, and his "Dark True Qi" was still stuck in the third level. In addition, Zuo Han's swordsmanship is mediocre, and on the premise of not using the "dark true qi", even if he fights with Koizumi Chika and Koizumi Shenxiu, he can only bow to the upper hand, and he is often ridiculed by this pair of Oriental sisters. But he was undeterred. Even Shangguan Hongyang couldn't help but admire his qi-nourishing kung fu.

The doorman came in and reported that three great men had come to visit. Shangguan Hongyang said with a smile, "It seems that today, it is another Qianjia girl who has won the first place." For the sake of the three of us who are willing to make green leaves for you, Miss Qianjia has to invite us to eat and drink. Koizumi Chika also smiled, "It's naturally okay to eat and drink in the sea, but I'm afraid of some people, the swordsmanship is not good, and the amount of alcohol is not good." Zuo Han immediately defended, "Who said that I can't drink enough? Every time I drink, don't I drink as much as you? It's a pity that when I drink and sing loudly, they all say that I am a duck voice, singing like murder, poisoning everyone's hearts." You girls drink too much and sing, but it is the sound of the warbler, the sound of nature. This worldly prejudice is really too much. After laughing with the three of them, Shangguan Hongyang retired early, and halfway through, he asked the janitor Uncle Song, "Who is here?"

Uncle Song originally worked in the Xuanwu Hall of the Sun Moon God Sect, but later because of the compulsion of life, Sang Sanniang, the elder at any time, switched to the Sea Gang. He is bold, shrewd, and has a certain intersection with Shangguan Hongyang earlier. Therefore, Shangguan Hongyang transferred Uncle Song to his side and used it as a close confidant. At this moment, Uncle Song replied in a low voice, "One of them is a bald monk, a Taoist priest, and the other is dressed as a beggar, and they didn't say who they were, they only said that they had to see the helper." But judging from the hand-to-hand between the monk and the guard at the door, it seems to be a senior monk of Shaolin Temple, and the 'Buddha Palm' is superb, and it is no less than decades of skill. ”

"The senior monks of the Shaolin Temple, the Taoist priests, and the beggars? Could it be that the representatives of the Shaolin Temple, the Wudang Sect, and the beggar gang came together? I have no relationship with them, what do these people want to do here?" Shangguan Hongyang said with a full stomach.
