Chapter 119: The Essence of the Great Cottage (II)
Mu Qing hurriedly ran out of the Juyi Hall, and saw Zhao Hongmei's anger at Manchester United, with two guns in hand, kneeling in front of her were the two female guards who were brought back by Mu Qing, these two women had not fully recovered, their faces were relatively pale, kneeling there and trembling, their faces were full of snot and tears.
"Brother and sister! Please stop being angry, the two of them have also suffered a lot, don't be impulsive! Mu Qing hurriedly waited for Zhao Hongmei to persuade that Zhao Hongmei and Wang Qiming were the original five masters, so Mu Qing called her a younger brother and sister.
"Can you cut off your sister's arm if you suffer? How do you do it? Zhao Hongmei was even more furious.
"Young lady! We were wrong, but there was really no way at that time, we were forced by Li Dashan...... Whining...... Woo woo...... "The two female guards said as they kowtowed and cried.
"Are you so afraid of death? How can I teach you two cheap women who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you don't kill you, how can I be worthy of Xinghua and them,......" Zhao Hongmei raised her gun again.
"Young lady, spare your life! We couldn't even think of dying...... Spare your life...... "The two female guards cried out in even greater horror.
"Forget it! Hongmei, some things are not as simple as you think, and their experience is not something that few women can bear! Alas, what iniquity you do! At this time, the voice of the eldest grandmother came from the Juyi Hall, and then the eldest grandmother walked out.
"Old lady! Wow...... Whining...... Qiming is dead, he was killed by Li Dashan......" Zhao Hongmei saw the eldest grandmother rushing forward, hugging the eldest grandmother and crying loudly.
"I know, I know, I've been suffering for you these days! Come, come to my room, and tell me about this time," the old lady couldn't help but shed tears. Then the eldest grandmother turned back to the two female guards and ordered, "You two also come in, kneel in the corner, and don't get up without my order!" ”
"Old Madam Xie! Mrs. Xie! Woo woo...... "The two women wept and went in together.
……
Mu Qing took Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu and others to check all the important places in the Black Wind Ridge, the most important of which was the arms arsenal, there were no heavy weapons in it, except for the two light machine guns that Xiong Chuanmeng brought back this time, the rest were all rifles, pistols and boxes of bullets, and the rifles were still mainly made in Hanyang. There were also quite a few grenades, mines and barrels of gunpowder in the arsenal. On the other side, there are all cold weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc., and even old-fashioned fire barrels and earthen cannons, which reflect the development history of the cottage from one side. Zhuang Quan looked at it with relish, obediently, this arsenal is not small, more than 100 square meters are almost full, Wang Tiexiong even picked up a green dragon knife and played it again.
In addition to the arms, there are many hidden escape tunnels, of course, these belong to the secrets of the cottage, only a few of them can know, a few people came to Xiong Chuanmeng's room, and turned out Xiong Chuanmeng's hidden belongings from the secret compartment under Xiong Chuanmeng's bed, mainly gold bars, there are as many as five hundred taels, and surprisingly there are quite a lot of jewelry, it seems that over the years, Xiong Chuanmeng snatched back a lot of women. Most of them have died, and only these jewels remain.
"Mu Dang's family, you register these belongings, and then put them away, so that they can be repaired and used for the cottage!" Zhuang Quan instructed, he used a very clever name of Mu Dangjia, omitting a big character.
"Yes! I don't know if the big boss needs to bring some belongings back, I can send someone to prepare! Mu Qing bent down respectfully and asked. He knew that he was not at the same level as the big boss, he was also a cottage manager, but he felt a lot more relaxed, maybe this was his strength.
"No, you don't! Hehe, you really don't like this thing! Zhuang Quan smiled conceitedly.
So sometimes people just can't be too arrogant, Zhuang Quan just finished saying that he couldn't look down on the cottage things, and then a few people followed Mu Qing to another storage room, Zhuang Quan immediately felt hot on his face - he basically looked at this thing, this room is placed for so many years, everyone has been ingenious and robbed, antique porcelain and other objects, and even some mahogany furniture, what is even more amazing is that there are actually four huge tusks, and I don't know who Lu Haoming and they robbed back then! In fact, this is also what Lu Haoming originally planned to take back to the countryside after he stopped doing it, of course, it is impossible to take it away now that the army is in chaos.
Even Sheng Jiu nodded again and again, he, a senior bandit, was still very knowledgeable, and his cottage didn't have so many collections back then.
"This is the azure glaze of the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty, tsk! Good stuff! It's a pity that this world can't sell for a good price now! Sheng Jiu was quite knowledgeable about the goods, and praised him with a porcelain vase.
Zhuang Quan listened to it on the side, and was suddenly shocked, the antique porcelain in this room was probably worth more than tens of thousands of taels of gold, but he didn't expect that he, a big boss, would become rich all of a sudden. I can't sell it here, but in the future, a piece of azure glazed porcelain can be auctioned for hundreds of millions of yuan, and Zhuang Quan can't help but be distracted when he thinks about it!
"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong? Isn't it interested? You'll be interested in this stuff when you're a little older and have some free time! Sheng Jiu saw that Zhuang Quan was a little stunned, and couldn't help asking.
"Oh! I don't know much about these, but it's really a big cottage, the heritage is very rich, who would have thought that there are so many antique porcelain in the cottage! Zhuang Quan sighed with a little embarrassment.
"Yes! I'm also learning again today, and the old Lu boss is really extraordinary, but a few of his masters failed to manage it well! Sheng Jiu also said with admiration.
"What's the point of these things? I still think gold bars are the most real, and they can work anywhere! Wang Tiexiong doesn't pay much attention to these things, and he feels bored staying here.
"Huh! Well, let's go out first and enjoy it later when we have time! Zhuang Quan also smiled and said, Wang Tiexiong said that he was relieved, if Wang Tiexiong was also a master of goods, then he would have to be a little more careful.
After looking around the cottage again, Mu Qing began to instruct people to prepare a dinner party, and there were a few chefs with good skills on the mountain, and Mu Qing also wanted to show the heritage of Heifengling.
Walking to an open place to the west of the Black Wind Ridge, this should be a martial arts arena, where Shan Erhu, Yan Xiaofu and others are practicing horseback riding with great interest, and even Wei Baobao is riding his injured horse and swaying back and forth! He had been wandering around the cottage on horseback, and he couldn't find a pleasing maid or a young woman or something, which made him very disappointed.
At dinner, the eldest grandmother took Zhao Hongmei to just come to say hello, the rules of the cottage, women are not allowed to enter the table, Zhao Hongmei is still the fifth master, that is okay, but now I can only follow the grandmother out to say hello, and go back to the inner hall to eat, but Zhao Hongmei has calmed down a lot, and the grandmother finally made the decision and let the two female guards follow her back to the countryside.
This is probably the most appropriate way to deal with it, not to mention whether Zhao Hongmei can forgive them, even if they stay in the mountains, the two of them don't have the face to live, and now many of the new bandits have surrendered from Li Dashan, and many people were involved in the violence against the two female guards, how can this have the face to stay, and following the eldest grandmother is the best way out.
During the banquet, several leaders discussed the future plan, Wang Tiexiong took a dozen of his people to stay in Heifengling, and Sheng Jiu also left fifty people in Heifengling, so that with the original people, Heifengling can still maintain the scale of three hundred people, Xiong Chuanmeng's men and horses have basically been cleared, and now several parties restrain each other, and there will be no more internal strife for power and profit. And the real boss is Zhuang Quan, don't look at his descendants are not many, but they are the most deterrent.
Zhuang Quan asked Mu Qing to open a few more shops in the town as much as possible, and strive to rely on the profits of these shops to maintain the expenses on the mountain, now the army is in chaos, bandit nests have sprung up, there are many like cow hairs, and the competition is also fierce, and now there is nothing valuable to grab, the real powerful business houses, the rich have bodyguards, and some can even invite the imperial army to escort along the way, many small bandit nests can only do some small business piecemeal, rob those small merchants or single people, just to mix food and clothing, Maybe one day it will be destroyed!
Fortunately, a big cottage like Heifengling is good, and the wealthy caravans who pass through here know to pay for the road, which is also an income for the cottage. It's just that compared to the big cottage of hundreds of people, the money to buy the road is too little, and you still have to find a way from somewhere else!
…… Stayed in Heifengling for a few days, mainly to learn to ride a horse, but also familiar with the internal situation of Heifengling, now Zhuang Quan and others' horseback riding skills have improved a lot, especially Shan Erhu, this guy is very talented in this regard, riding a horse to shoot, turning up and down, has been very skilled, especially he has been pestering Wang Tiexiong for three days and two ends to have a discussion, Wang Tiexiong was annoyed by him, this guy is really fighting, Wang Tiexiong has to raise the spirit to deal with it seriously. However, Wang Tiexiong has now taught them some real kung fu, and both Zhuang Quan and Shan Erhu feel that they have benefited a lot.
The biggest problem is that there are not enough horses on the mountain now, now Shan Erhu and Chen Dong and others want to have their own horses, Zhuang Quan also wants to have a good horse, but this thing is not good, ordinary horses are not very valuable, but war horses are expensive, especially there are good and bad war horses, Xiong Chuanmeng's big black horse was bought for more than a thousand oceans, this is still the price two years ago, and it is estimated that it will be more expensive now......
