Section 90 Sweet Harbor Storm - The dust has settled

Zhu Sanye smiled cruelly and slammed the table: "Okay!" Balls. As he spoke, he picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him and slammed it under the table.

With a "pop", debris flew sideways, and under the hall, the hurried footsteps of the crowd suddenly sounded.

I saw twenty or thirty strong men pouring out of the two compartments under the hall, all of them holding sticks. The face is hideous. These are all ship guards recruited by Zhu An, and many of them are pirates or deserters from the official army. Zhu Sanye originally planned to talk about using these people to coerce everyone to have a "Hongmen banquet" at the meeting, and he was not afraid that everyone would not comply.

The door was slammed shut.

The sugar merchants were stunned, and some simply fell back into their chairs. The atmosphere took a turn for the worse, Wu Yi closed his mouth, and quietly wanted to slip away; Feng Guangfeng's face was pale, but he didn't move. Zhou Shizhai and Li Biao took a step forward and prepared to escort Wen Tong out.

"Not necessarily!" Although Wen Tong was a little scared at this time, his heart was a lot more settled, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt. "Throw the cup as a number, and the armor soldiers will do their best", I thought it was a storytelling.

Zhu Sanye hahadaxiao said: "Besides, let's talk about it, I will retreat bravely, you ask my brothers if they are willing?" ”

Wen Tong's face was calm, he listened to it for a while, and suddenly smiled:

"Rest easy, listen to the sound of the gong on the street."

When he said this, everyone pricked up their ears.

Sure enough, in the distance, there was a gong sound of "bang-bang-". Seven rings and one back and forth, the sound of the gong is familiar to them: this is the opening gong of the county magistrate going out to swing the road. The sound of gongs came from far and near, and it was clearly coming towards this place.

Just as he was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.

"What are you doing with the door closed so tightly in the blue sky and white day! What the hell? I'm the head of the county government! Open the door! ”

Zhu Sanye's subordinates, who closed the door, did not dare not open it, and the strong men with sticks had to spread out to both sides.

The door opened, and Li Tou'er ran in in a public uniform: "The county master is here, shopkeeper Wen, quickly take everyone to greet you." ”

"Yes." Wen Tong arched his hand, "Thank you Li Tou'er." Saying that, Li Biao hurriedly went up and handed over a heavy red sealed bag - there were twenty taels of silver inside.

"The county master is here," Wen Tong said with a smile, "Take all your people back, lest there be something unclear when you get to-"

"Let's go meet Taizun." Wu Yi immediately proposed.

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Wen Tong didn't care, and he wasn't in a hurry to get out.

"I wish the third master," he said in a serene tone, "that set of charlatan things of yours is useless. Unless you are ready to fight under the nose of the county master, even if you use all your belongings to buy it, he will not be able to see it. There's no way you can let that happen. There's no way you can 'restore' either...... Do you know the meaning of the word 'restoration', I don't think you understand it from your face......

"Restoration is to restore the old order, to regain the authority of your Haiyi Hall, and to use this place to continue to reap the greatest benefits for you. But those days are gone. Either you quietly take your belongings and get out; Either you insist on being the leader of this bear. If you want to do this, you can ask your subordinates to do it and see if the water warriors you are proud of are more powerful than Zhao Jijiao and Gu Dachun. ”

In the seconds that followed, many things happened one after the other at breakneck speed. A bodyguard beside Zhu Sanye suddenly pounced on him, trying to restrain him. But Zhou Shizhai was much faster than him, and he knocked the other party down with a sweeping leg. Li Biao pounced and punched the man's Adam's apple. knocked him unconscious on the spot.

Another person pulled out a knife from his sleeve, and Zhu Sanye exclaimed: "Don't use the knife!" ”

The knife is the murderer, not to mention that there are witnesses all over the ground, and the county magistrate is coming over on the street. If you go under the knife here, even if something happens, you will have to go bankrupt!

As a result, he didn't have to worry at all, as soon as the knife was stretched out, the neck stalk was punched by Zhou Shizhai with his other hand, and he was also kicked in the lower abdomen. He banged his head against the wall and ejected from there. Two thumps on the stomach - collapsed.

Wen Tong was relieved that Zhou Shizhai's martial arts were really not covered.

"What kind of people use what kind of people." Wen Tong said with a smile, "I wish the third master, what I said is right." ”

This is how the Hongmen banquet prepared by Zhu Sanye ended, including his ridiculous ploy - perhaps not outdated in 1629, but useless against opponents with 400 years of experience ahead - Bei Wei's team had already discovered the ambush during routine reconnaissance, and Chen Tianxiong made timely arrangements accordingly.

Obsolete. Although his eyes were enough to chop Wen Tong into meat sauce, he still understood that the person who knew the times was Junjie. Zhu An's men dispersed in a moment. This scene is really more dramatic than drama. Wen Tong exhaled softly.

"Master Zhou is good at martial arts."

"Call me comrade." Zhou Shizhai patted the dust on his hands.

Zhu An and his gang went out from the back door in embarrassment, and the sedan chair of the county order also arrived at the door at this moment. Wen Tong cleaned up his clothes and greeted him respectfully.

Invite the county magistrate to come to Haiyi Hall once, sit with Wen Tong and drink a cup of tea, and say a few words, Chen Tianxiong paid five hundred taels, in addition, including a promise to increase the "fee" of filial piety to the county order by 50% every year. It's a big price, but it's worth the money.

The lifespan of Haiyitang ended on this day. The next day, the county government received two postes, one was a joint application for the dissolution of Haiyitang by 20 members of Haiyitang, and the other was naturally a joint application by Huanan and 20 peers to establish a trade association. Under the active activities in South China, this is already a matter of course, and the county government quickly instructed: "Approve what he asks." ”

The plaque of Haiyitang was taken off and immediately replaced with the plaque of the Leizhou Sugar Association.

All the assets left behind were also taken over by the Leizhou Sugar Association. According to the division of labor in South China, the sugar industry association will be mainly responsible for the division of the company. He immediately set about cleaning up the remaining assets of Haiyitang, and Wen Qing had already learned a lot of modern accounting knowledge, so he was in charge of clearing the accounts, and a few men who were familiar with the accounts were assigned to assist.

All the silver and floating wealth in the public account were returned to each family according to the share paid, even Zhu'an's share was no exception. Chang Shi said that no matter how much Zhu An embezzled and embezzled money from the public school, he still did a lot of things for the sugar industry in Leizhou after all. "A person's merits and demerits should be viewed in two parts." He said matter-of-factly. Therefore, he should not be missing a penny of money.

In order to show that South China is selfless. Chang Shi invited five sugar merchants as supervisors in the form of public recommendation, cleaned up the accounts and made them completely public, and sent a report to each sugar store once a week, with detailed explanations of which accounts had problems and how to deal with them. This kind of open and well-organized approach of accounts has won everyone's appreciation -- the arrival of South China has brought a new breath to the entire Leizhou sugar industry.

Originally, from the deacons to the miscellaneous servants in Haiyi Hall, all of them were Zhu Sanye's private individuals: either distant relatives or fellow villagers, all of them were dismissed this time, and no one was left. If there is no local settlement, it will also be paid extraordinarily.

Originally, Chang Shi still wanted to keep a few skilled hands, but Chen Tianxiong objected:

"Even if there are a few people available, after all, it is still related to Zhu An, and there is no need for suspicious people, and there is no doubt about employing people. If we can't fully trust it, we just don't use it. so as not to cause trouble. ”

"It's okay to use people, I don't believe that these little people can have any deep feelings with Zhu An?"

"Usual! The so-called righteousness slaughters more dogs. Chen Tianxiong said, "They are all relatives and friends of Zhu'an." No matter how young he was, he used to be a vested interest, and he had the benefits of Zhu'an. Don't be careful. ”

zuihou, or all the silver dismissed. These people also knew that the general trend had gone, so they received the money and dispersed without any accidents.

What made Chang Shi feel the most troublesome was the ship escort that Hai Yitang had trained himself, with more than 30 people. This group of people is either pirates or deserters, and they have a very strong habit. Haiyitang used to support them with a lot of silver - a monthly salary of five taels, three festivals of rewards, each time, according to the distance to give another "business trip fee". Although his combat effectiveness is good, he is an arrogant soldier who has been raised by silver. Chang Shi has long known that this group of people is difficult to handle, and if they are hired, it will take a lot of effort to rectify them, and if they are not hired, it will be a disaster.

Wu Yi said: "This group of people, the head of the Chang Hui does not have to worry about resettlement. ”

"Oh? Why. ”

"They are all under the direct jurisdiction of the third master himself. We don't have any edge at all. Wu Yi said that whether it was salary, supply or allocation, it was all handled by Zhu Sanye himself.

The money is from everyone, but in fact, it is Zhu Sanye's private family. Although theoretically it is the business of each family to transport sugar out for sale, if there is no need to wish the third master to sail the ship, it will be difficult to deploy the escort Yong to accompany the ship - he has to meet the needs of his family's ship before he can get other ships. For the sake of safety, everyone can only pay another freight to Zhu'an.

"This group of people has always only had Zhu Sanye in their eyes, and there is no Haiyitang. Let Zhu Sanye deal with it by himself. Wu Yi smirked.

Master Chang thought to himself, what he said was right. But this group of people stayed on Hai'an Street, and they were still a liliang in the hands of Zhu Sanye. In the past, Zhu'an didn't use them, but now it is not ruled out that the dog jumped over the wall and let them come out to make trouble. It is still necessary to remove this possible hidden danger as much as possible.

The matter of rebuilding the temple of Monk Zou was also announced by Master Chang to everyone, and the money would be borne by South China independently. The peers originally thought that they would have to pay a lot of money on this matter, but as soon as South China expressed its position, its favorability increased by a few points.

So soon a group of construction workers came from Lingao, erected a reed mat wall around the Zou Monk Temple, and built a large number of buildings. It is said that because of the huge project, the time dragged on for a long time, I am afraid that the original temple will lose its livelihood, and South China specially renovated a small temple for it in the county for its presiding. Miaozhu, his wife, and the fireworker moved away happily.

No one expected that the newly renovated Zou Monk Temple was actually the location of the future Xu Wen Intelligence Station. South China also acquired a lot of wasteland around the temple and hired people to clean it up, which is said to be used to build Yixue and Shantang. This act made South China leave a reputation for impatience and righteousness in Xu Wen and Leizhou.

One morning, on his way to a teahouse he frequented, Feng Guangfeng was seen talking to a man not far from the teahouse. Then Feng Guangfeng got on a sedan chair and the two of them carried a small sedan chair to the north.

The next morning, he was found near a pond near southern China. The future workers' village is being built there. He was poked dozens of times with a knife, like a sieve, and his methods were extremely savage. Apparently the person who poked him was full of hatred. Only the face is intact, as if it were easily recognizable. His mouth was filled with sugar and went straight down his throat.

Zhu An died two days later. He had already moved out of Hai'an Street by this time. After the Hiyoshi Chengtang stopped, he moved to his own farm outside Haikang County, where he continued to run the boat business. That night, a fire broke out in the farm, and no one in the Zhu family, including himself, survived.

The storm on Hai'an Street came to an end in a tragic way. The directors of the Leizhou Sugar Association, who have undergone a makeover, do not know whether to be happy or sad when they hear these news, and many people recall the ups and downs that Haiyitang has gone through all the way in the past 30 years, and their hearts are mixed. However, this shijie has finally begun to change.

Feng Guangfeng's death was a great blow to South China, whether it was Wen Tong, Chen Tianxiong or Chang Shi, they all had a great impression of this "outsider" in Haiyi Hall, and they originally planned to focus on using it in the future, but they didn't expect to die like this.

Chen Tianxiong later blamed himself for not paying attention to protecting the allies - they only thought that Zhu An might take revenge on the traverser and their men, but they did not expect that Feng Guangfeng would be chosen to attack.

"This is because Feng Guangfeng is an outsider." Chen Tianxiong said, "Fellow villagers, he still can't do it, and he doesn't dare to do it." He sighed, not knowing if this cultural phenomenon was good or bad.

"There really aren't a few good things in this group of sugar dogs. As soon as Feng Guangfeng died, he didn't have to say anything, he was thinking about buying his name. His children are small, and women can't come forward to manage it. is clearly ready to bully orphans and widows. ”

"And the clansmen of his father-in-law's family all want to take the opportunity to take this property."

Wen Tong listened to it and said solemnly: "Richang Ji must be done." This name is maintained by Huanan for him! ”

Chang Shi also said: "That's right, this time, he contributed the most, and he can't end up in nothing." Otherwise, what will others think of us in the future? ”

"I have three points." Chen Tianxiong said. "First, the Sugar Industry Association came forward and made a big show of office sacrifice. Everyone in the guild participated, and gave him great sorrow; 2. The silver of the seven thousand stone sugar has been paid, and the stack order must be handed over to him as soon as possible to appease his wife; 3. Choose an honest and reliable guy from his own business name to operate on his behalf. The Sugar Association is responsible for supervising the operation. ”
