Section 89 Sweet Harbor Wind and Cloud -- Nest Reverse

The next day, the news of the fire at the Zou Monk Temple became big news, and many people had already been burned to the rubble to see the excitement. The fire was so fast and so powerful that everyone said they had never seen it before--when the fire-fighting meeting on Hai'an Street arrived under the escort of the villagers, the whole temple was already burning like a torch.

People who knew what was going on inside said that too much dry wood and oil piled up under the gable was the culprit. The rotten boys gamble and drink in the temple every day, and the fire was probably caused by the accident.

The destruction of Zhao Jijiao and his gang did not arouse sympathy from anyone, and many people were even happy that there was no such gang of gangsters on the street, saying that it was a retribution for their usual misdeeds.

But all those who have heard of the open and secret struggle between Huanan and Zhu Sanye don't think so. This sudden and strange fire, not a single person in the room actually ran out, which is really intriguing. The few rotten boys who were lucky enough not to be in the temple and escaped all escaped the next day - their noses were sharper than anyone else's.

The officials detained the temple and fire workers in the back courtyard, but this does not mean that the county officials thought there was anything suspicious about this incident - it was purely a routine job by the officials to make money. Everyone in the temple insisted that they didn't hear any suspicious sounds, and under the activities of some people, Miao Zhu's wife easily negotiated the price with the head of the fast shift in the teahouse opposite the yamen, and they were released.

The incident spread in the streets and alleys for a few days, and then slowly faded. The arson incident in South China was naturally completely extinct, and the sugar merchants who originally refused to come to the meeting also secretly - secretly - through Feng Guangfeng - to secretly communicate with the song.

Originally, everyone was not enthusiastic about the new formation of the South China Sugar Association. Now there is a 180-degree change in attitude, the attitude of the sugar merchants has begun to be positive, and Chang Shi finds that he can now talk more deeply about "talking about things". Chen Tianxiong seized the time to actively talk to the sugar merchants privately.

Zhu An Tie blushed and sat in the meeting hall of Haiyi Hall, as usual, he sat in the chief. The twenty chairs on the left and right sides of the hall were full, and the big shopkeepers of each sugar store sat in the corner.

This is the first meeting of Haiyi Hall since Zhu An declared "sick", and the topic is to rebuild the temple of Monk Zou. Zhu Sanye is now embattled, and everywhere is falling apart: the sugar workers were recruited, the ancient pirates were destroyed, the betrayal of the sugar merchants, and Zhao Jijiao and his gang were inexplicably burned to death.

I thought it was a good handful, but now it's empty-handed. Zhu Sanye can't think of anything else that can deal with South China. Open guns and dark arrows, he has used everything. South China stood tall, not only did not fall, but also hollowed out the corners of his walls.

From the bottom of his heart, he knew that he had failed, but Zhu Sanye was not willing to fail - he had been amazed in the sugar market in Leizhou for 30 years, and he had already regarded his words and deeds as the embodiment of authority. When this authority is suddenly lost, it is always emotionally unacceptable.

This time, in the name of rebuilding the temple of Monk Zou, he convened a meeting of sugar merchants, trying to use the prestige of many years to try to save the defeat.

The sugar merchants came surprisingly neatly, there were many of them, and even the "traitor" Feng Guangfeng came. When he saw this outsider, his eyes were about to burst into flames. Although he knew very well that this man was only a middleman, and that it was the same townsmen whom he regarded as the most reliable - but the friendship of his fellow villagers made him unconsciously turn his anger on this stranger.

"He still dared to come!" He muttered under his breath.

The master standing on the side glanced at everyone in the hall uneasily, all of them were expressionless or leisurely, and none of them had a guilty or uneasy look.

"Master, don't be impatient."

Zhu Sanye nodded, settled down first, and then opened his mouth:

"As you all know, a few days ago, a fire broke out in the temple of Master Zu, although it only burned down one entrance. This repair, Haiyi Hall is naturally duty-bound, and it has to be shouldered-"

When he said this, he deliberately stopped, looked at the expressions of the people, and saw that they did not react one by one, as if they had nothing to do with him, and felt a chill in his heart:

“…… I don't know what you think about this temple repair? ”

"The temple naturally has to be repaired." Someone said, "But it's not a matter of urgency. ”

Hearing that someone was singing against him on the spot, Zhu An was furious, and when he looked at it, he saw Wu Yi, the owner of the last small sugar store "Baolai". This person originally entrusted many people, begged his grandfather to sue - milk, and honored him with 10,000 taels of silver, so he was squeezed into Haiyi Hall. The cost of the Bollywood is not large, and the people in Haiyitang are soft-spoken.

Zhu Anqiang pressed the anger in his heart and said coldly; "Oh? What does the shopkeeper mean by Wu, but what is the urgency. ”

"Collect sugar!" Wu Yi unceremoniously poked Zhu Sanye's sore spot, "The sugar season is coming to an end." Our warehouses are still empty. Without sugar, where does the money come from to build temples? This matter, I'm afraid I have to wish the third master a better one! ”

"Bastard!" Zhu An roared. When had he ever been mocked to his face by such an unruly little horn-color? "What are you! I didn't kneel on the ground and beg for help, and I didn't even have the qualifications to collect sugar! ”

"I'm not a big guy!" Wu Yi was very bold, "You wish the third master to be a big man." At the beginning, I swore that this sugar season would allow everyone to receive sugar, but now? I, Wu Yi, begged my grandfather to sue - milk - milk - to collect sugar and make money, not to praise your stinky feet for the third master! ”

This is said extremely naked-naked-naked-, but it also vividly speaks the mentality of most people here - Zhu Sanye is useless!

"Old Wu, don't say that-" The fat man of "Riyue Lai" came out to play the round, but he couldn't think of anything to play the round for a while.

"How do you say that?" Wu Yi had already been secretly bought by Chang Shi, and he looked around, "Treasurers, owners!" Isn't everyone forming Haiyitang just to collect sugar together? Now Haiyitang has been tossed by Zhu An to the point that he can't receive sugar, I propose, Zhu Sanye can't be this hall master anymore! ”

Zhu An had a cold face, and he was very calm on the surface, even almost indifferent, but in fact, he had practiced a set of pretentious kung fu, and his heart was also very nervous. Wu Yi definitely didn't come up with the idea of singing this play by himself, there must be someone behind him, I'm afraid that most of the people here acquiesced to his approach-thinking this, Zhu An couldn't help but be shocked.

What's even more terrifying is that the reaction of the people around him is not surprised at all, which proves his guess. Zhu An's face was bruised, and he stared at this guy who turned his face and didn't recognize people, eager to kick him to death.

"There is no need for Haiyitang to exist anymore." Wu Yi unceremoniously continued to fire, "This sugar guild has long been reduced to the private property of the Zhu family. I wish the third master! In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Haiyitang Gongzhong has almost more than 10,000 taels of silver in the past year, and Weishenme has only a few hundred taels in the second year of Chongzhen, and he still has to apportionment to everyone? In the past two years, we have paid a lot of public dues! ”

It has never been a secret that Zhu An controls Haiyi Hall, installs - inserts - private, spends the money on the public account at will, and even overcharges public funds under various names, but no one dares to mention it because of his prestige and ability. Now that someone mentioned it, everyone was whispering, and there were still some people who couldn't get through the original relationship, but now they also felt that Zhu An's work was not beautiful enough, and they began to mumble.

Feng Guangfeng stood up: "What Shopkeeper Wu said is extremely true! There is no need for Haiyitang to exist anymore. ”

The sugar merchants, who had been just a commotion, were now noisy, and after a moment someone sighed, "That's it." ”

"yes, there's no way around it."

"I wish the third master has been busy for most of his life, it's time to rest."

"But Haiyitang is gone, what will we do in the future?" There are already people discussing the matter after that, and it seems that the dissolution of Haiyi Hall has become a foregone conclusion, and Zhu Sanye has been completely thrown aside.

Zhu An stood up violently and shouted, "You are a despicable and shameless villain! His voice was so loud that it overwhelmed all voices at once, "All of them are blind! Haiyitang is where you live and live, and you are destroying your own foundation! He roared, "Without me, Haiyitang—"

"Haiyitang is not surnamed Zhu!" Feng Guangfeng interrupted him loudly, "Over the years, Haiyitang has long been your family's, not everyone's!" He then said loudly: "I propose to invite the treasurer of South China to preside over the overall situation of Haiyi Hall!" ”

Wu Yi immediately jumped out: "The current situation cannot be solved by the non-literary shopkeeper." ”

Then there were some who chimed in, and some of whom, though not in tune with it, did not say a word and did not object.

"This is Haiyi Hall!" Zhu An roared uncontrollably, "I'm the head of the meeting!" ”

Wu Yi ignored him at all: "Please shopkeeper Wen!" He shouted.

Wen Tong, under the escort of Zhou Shizhai, had already booked a single room in a teahouse on the street and waited. A few people hummed a little song and drank tea. Wen Tong couldn't help but ask Chen Tianxiong:

"You can't do this jihua. I'm afraid they won't understand me. ”

"Definitely." Chen Tianxiong said with a smile, "Most of them are from the territory of Guangdong, and you can speak Cantonese." ”

"I always thought it was a little too dramatic." Wen Tong muttered, "Can't you take it over in another way?" ”

"Of course you can." Chen Tianxiong said, "But if you want to dominate the Sugar Industry Association in the future, you must first build momentum, and it will have a good dramatic effect." ”

"So—"

Chen Tianxiong knew that he was not confident enough: "You can rest assured!" Zhou Shizhai and Li Biao are close to you, and Chen Sigen and his team members go in with you, and there are people from Beiwei outside, and he has brought all the sniper rifles to the roof......"

"No need, just let Zhou Shizhai go in with me." Wen Tong suddenly became arrogant, "Lao Tzu is also one of the protagonists, and he has a halo to protect his body." ”

"That's right, your domineering aura will be opened a little more, and Haiyitang will not immediately return to the world at that time."

Wen Tong nodded again and again, closing his eyes and recuperating, probably wanting to store up more of this king's overlord's qi.

Chen Tianxiong smiled, took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Bei Wei who was pressed on the roof, he was observing the movement in the courtyard of Haiyi Hall, in case Zhu Sanye had any abnormal movements.

The news came from everywhere that there was no movement. After a while, the person looking through the window reported that a family member came out of the gate of Haiyi Hall and went straight to the teahouse.

"The treat is here, Lao Wen, get ready, let's go!"

Wen Tong nodded, he only took Zhou Shizhai and Li Biao, and walked over the street in a light car. Fifty meters down the street, Wen Tong was like a cloud, fear, anticipation, doubt and confidence mixed together, and a drunken pleasure enveloped his body and mind.

The door of Haiyi Hall was already open straight, and when he walked up the steps, he could see the hall with the windows and doors open all the way from the gate, Wen Tong took a deep breath and strode in.

Feng Guangfeng was already waiting under the dripping eaves, and said, "Shopkeeper Wen, everyone has been waiting for a long time. ”

Liu Yulin, the proprietor of the Risheng, was the first to stand up and give a salute, and then the shopkeepers of all sugar stores stood solemnly. Wen smiled all the way and returned the salute all the way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the shopkeeper of South China Sugar Company, and the head of the new Sugar Association." Wu Yi said loudly.

Wen Tong didn't pay attention to Zhu An, whose face was full of flames, and he wanted to tear him apart. Standing in the room, Tuan Tuan arched his hand:

"The shopkeeper and proprietor of the sugar industry, South China has been elected as the head of the Sugar Industry Association, and South China will regard this as an honor and responsibility, and will have the courage to obey his fate, and only to die for Leizhou Sugar Industry ......" He glanced at Zhu An, and suddenly felt that this person was not terrible at all, even pitiful - he still didn't know what he was facing, if he knew, he wouldn't be so angry. …… Zhu An lived up to the trust of the people, controlled Haiyitang for many years, arbitrarily manipulated power, appointed private individuals, stole public funds, befriended pirates, and seduced bandits......" He listed 20 crimes in one breath, all of which were well-founded, and mobilized the emotions of people who had objections to Zhu An's actions for many years, and he felt quite happy.

"You, you—" Zhu An was so angry that he couldn't speak. It is true that these things are true, but befriending pirates and raising bandits are all for the survival of the entire Leizhou sugar industry, and they are an expedient measure to choose the lesser of two evils, and the benefits are also obtained by everyone -- in the past 20 years, the sugar shops in Leizhou have been able to enjoy peace and tranquility, is it not the result of these expedient measures? Now it's all his crime!

There is no excuse for the sin you want to add! I wish the third master cold hands and feet - the other party not only has money and "strength", but also is first-class in thick black!

Wen Tong said excitedly, "...... Please also wish the third master a brave retreat! Leave a place for each other to see each other later, so as not to clean up the accounts and laugh generously! ”
