Not far from Feng Shisan's landing, on the edge of the warehouse called Fenglin Warehouse,

A group of gnashing teeth, under the cover of night, were making the final deliveries, and a large number of blades, arrows, and other supplies were carried down from the riverboats, and of course they were carefully polished off their original inscriptions

The leader is the last few men left in Guangfu by the Tan family, and the initiators of this qiē are all because,

Yi An Hou Tanlang, who died dishonorably in the Meishan Hotel, and made such a big scandal in front of the Son of Heaven who took refuge, for those noble and wealthy families who were present or not present, it was enough to become a hot topic and episode that people talked about for a long time.

But for the Tan clan behind Yi Anhou, it was simply a catastrophe. Therefore, the degenerate family name and the social status that has become a laughing stock, in the upper class of society, suddenly collapsed. Not to mention that all their livelihoods and daily routines are almost dependent on this lord,

According to the system of the Southern Dynasties, there are three categories: national lords, world lords and scholars;

Since Taixing changed to Yuan Jinglong, in order to distinguish the system of the dynasty and the princes, the two major knighthood systems of virtual seal and real city were established.

False seal is the daily example of the imperial court, in Kyushu fake land, and then according to the number of food, by the court wealth to give it, known as the national knight, that is, usually rewarded and posthumously, the clan relatives and nobles are prominent, there are no special circumstances, the next generation will be reduced to the level of the inner lord system, but also the most common knighthood.

In the past 100 years, from the Taixing period to the Baoying period, the princes of the sea and land with the surnames of the Guoping Domain, and the subordinates of the first generation of foreign domains, such as the generals and clans who continue to be divided, are usually only reduced but not increased, and are collectively referred to as Shijue or vassal lords.

According to the titles of their first generations, from the bottom up, they are called large and small vassals, acting leaders, scholars, male domains, sub-domains, bofu and duke domains, and at the top are the very few royal surnames that have been recognized and posthumously recognized by the national dynasty, and they are qualified to be called national kings, public offices, kings and kings.

These large and small princes and feudal lords usually used their surnames as their country names or domain names, so they derived a variety of strange names.

The birth of the Shijue was much later, but at the beginning of the Southern Dynasty, after the failure of the Jiayou Great March, the national dynasty was in crisis, in order to praise those who were born from humble backgrounds, and enthusiastically donated money and food to help the country's loyal and righteous people, and specially awarded honorary titles and titles, in order to distinguish from the traditional princes and nobles, specially established the third class of knighthood.

In addition to having some privileges such as not bowing to officials and listening to deliberations in terms of etiquette and social occasions, there is neither a fiefdom nor a hereditary estate, but it is also the only way for those newly rich families to enter the upper class of society.

For example, the ancestors of the Tan clan are not Tang people in the traditional sense, but from Haixi, close to the great domain of Southern Tianzhu - Zhu Yuan State, which belongs to the declining Wang surname.

In that year, there was a civil strife, more than a dozen powerful chiefs each based on one side, and the competition for Wang Jingtang Jiawu, the desperate royal family was almost slaughtered, only the ancestors of the Tan clan as a side branch, with the national letter and treasure to the suzerain to ask for help, willing to attach the land account, only to protect the whole family, Gou An a rich family.

It took 17 years of hard work to completely incorporate the homeland of Zhuyuan into the territory and become a part of Xining Road.

The ancestors of the Tan clan also took the meritorious service in the vassal domain, gave the surname of the country to the surname Tan, took the homonym of Tang Jiawu, and married noble relatives, and gave the Shijue as one of the nine feudal domains of Xining, and the descendants will always enjoy the benefits of the homeland.

Relying on the output of these feudal divisions under the administration of the national dynasty, the ancestors of the Tan clan were easily integrated into the rich and decent life of the local people in Guangfu.

They are just like those descendants of the Tuwang vassal states who are happy to think about it, after coming to Guangfu, they are completely lost in the wealth and prosperity of the largest metropolis in the South China Sea, and they consciously open their horizons, compared to hiding in the poor countryside to be a vassal king, they are much more comfortable and comfortable, and the descendants will naturally evolve into standard Chinese nobles......

It's just that although the descendants of these vassals shine in the dynasty, there are many more who don't want to forge ahead, so like the Tan family, many titles are left with only this one lord.

It's just that when he was a guest at the Meishan Hotel, he happened to encounter the siege of the chaotic party, but he was lost in his mind, and he actually made an appointment with those people at the last moment, trying to hold the master hostage and surrender in exchange for saving himself, but he was killed on the spot by the guards.

Among the witnesses in the pavilion, there were also many wealthy and prominent people, who had no position or reason to cover up for the Tan clan, but instead publicized it everywhere to prove how they were brave and courageous.

So Yi Anhou, who was completely notorious, could not live in peace even if he died, not only the Shijue, who should have been inherited to his descendants, was taken back by the opportunity.

At the same time, the position of the senior patriarch in the clan was lost, which took several generations to operate, and how many years to seek to consolidate the position.

Although the friendly elders in the clan courtyard are inevitably a little sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, coupled with the dots that the Tan clan has accumulated over the years, they said that they would take this opportunity to give him some anger, but it is also this Cheng Dù, and it is not worth it to implicate himself if he shows his handle more.

In fact, in order to quell those who took advantage of the fire and robbery, the motion launched to further investigate the dead Yi Anhou and collude with the rebel party has already tossed away most of the savings of the Tan clan and the past generations

Therefore, in this way, the Tan family can no longer stay in Guangfu, so they can only sell or consign the only remaining property before the slaves are completely gone, and return to the grange in the countryside with most of their relatives to hibernate up.

Perhaps among their next generation, there may be an outstanding person who will revive the family business and ⊥ them back to the social circle of Canton.

But until then, most people had to stay away from the glitz and glamour of Canton and learn to live in the countryside in the grange with the aim of reducing expenses, and learn to live like the rich landlords they looked down on.

At this time, someone suddenly found them under the banner of the old world, saying that there were big people who were willing to vent their anger for them, and they only needed to use the place and connections of the Tan family, so the Tan family, who was a little unwilling, naturally hit it off.

Now even if he knows that he has gotten on the thief ship and is involved in a big deal, he has no choice but to help himself. can only beg secretly, and must be sure to do it in one fell swoop, so that the other party will never turn over, in order to relieve the hatred of the broken family.

In fact, I'm in some kind of trouble,

What has happened in the past few days has inevitably made people feel that there is a certain hidden malice, the main industries have been unable to open for a long time, various reasons and excuses have been shirked on the surface, and there are people who are looking for trouble to come to the door, and then the people who are running to handle it suddenly disappear, even if the official reports that they may have absconded with their own smuggling.

Mrs. Chen, who lived in Ouchi in the old city to accompany her, was also a little inconvenient to contact, and she didn't find anyone when she went twice, leaving only a message, and it was said that she was training in the etiquette of Ouchi.

This qiē is too much of a coincidence,

Then Murong Wu handed over some kind of message, and linked it with the sneaky people who appeared near my family's property, and only then did he have yesterday's clearance operation for the neighborhood, and it turned out that the other party was actually the official identity, and the leader was actually the official under the Zheng'er Bajing Xiacheng Zhengya, and the person who was responsible for cooperating with him was the low-level action personnel of the Wude Division.

He also brought a copy of the so-called official document on the remnants of the rebellious party, which was signed by Zuo Changshi, who was in charge of public affairs in charge of public affairs in the Guangfu Prefecture, which couldn't help but make me very vigilant.

It's just that there are still some key nodes as clues, and connecting them in series can only shrink manpower and resources, stop most of the private activities, and step up the handling of the guards left in the previous stage, and then go deep into the simplicity to avoid more appearances, so that another group of hidden people can be dispersed and reversely explored from the market.

It's just that today, the day when the Xiyi arms dealer named Little Contenoria came to trade again, but this time he brought few swords and blades, mainly some spear tips and arrowheads, plus bowstrings, lookouts, locks and other small pieces that do not occupy much space, and filled a boat.

But he brought me everything else I needed, and it scared me out of a cold sweat.

It was more than a dozen barrels of nitrate powder and sulfur foam, which were not the kind of saltpeter and sulfur blocks that could be seen every day in the workshops and workshops in Guangfu, but were carefully studied and screened with special tools, and they could be used as powders for gunpowder directly.

Just looking at the color and particles, it is no worse than the medicinal powder secretly processed in my workshop, and even more delicate

Among them, there was also a small barrel of gunpowder that had been prepared, which was said to be used by the sailors on the sea, but some of them were damp and cemented together, and in addition, there were large plates of nitrate-soaked leads, and some fragments of burning reed pipes, and there were also several bags mixed in casually, which made me look a little frightened.

I should admire his audacity and ignorance, or should I be glad that he was lucky enough not to blow himself up in the sky.

At last he took it out of the crack in the cabin like a treasure.

There are also more than a dozen firecrackers in endless styles, but he "unintentionally" collected them in Tianzhu and Annan, including trolls with thick pipe flares, thin guns with hexagonal pipes, and even three-eyed guns with a half-foot-length edge, one-handed guns with a large blade, and even decorations inlaid with copper and silver, and luodian mica, which seem to be full of handmade diyr spoon styles from different regions.

It made me cry and laugh a little, but I accepted it as ordered. At least some of these craftsmanship and design details can still be used for reference and reference.

It seems that this dead fat man is not as isolated and helpless as he is in reality, at least he has his own news channels within Guangfu, and obviously knows my achievements and process in Meishan Hotel.

"Luo Sheng's martial arts have a long life, and the future is immeasurable......"

He smiled with some smugness, pointing to the collectibles and furnishings.

His condition also looked much better than before, wearing a navy blue fine silk shirt and a green jade wrench, just like the kind of small rich merchant common in Jiwai.

Of course, what I cared more about was the tools and parts for the maintenance of these guns, and finally took 6,300 small silver treasures from me, mainly from the bond market a few days ago, and I paid these money quite easily.

Of course, his deal was more of an investment of sorts than a tentative and matter-of-fact business

Then I asked for the next step.

"You want to find a craftsman to build them?"

His smiling fat face showed some embarrassed colors.

"It's a bit hard for me......"

"The price should be negotiable......".

But I had a joke in my heart, and he didn't directly refuse,

He was about to open his mouth to answer something, when suddenly there was some kind of roaring and scolding noise from the periphery, and the flickering fire,

My face changed drastically, and almost reflexively, I suddenly pulled out my handcuff and pushed it against his fat head

"It's ...... you"

Suddenly, from his cabin, a large group of key men with swords and crossbows suddenly burst out, and confronted the men I had brought.
