The provincial capital is in the south direction, backed by the Pearl River, a large courtyard, this place is the real hall of Hongxingtang, named Hongfu. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info was originally bought by the owner of Hongtang for the elderly, and now he wants to return to the capital, and this place is dedicated as the new hall of Hongxingtang.

Ye Shaolong and Master Hong are parallel in the garden of the Hong Mansion, the lights are bright everywhere, ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the tightness of the defense is rare.

There was a bit of a murderous aura in the garden because of the presence of the guards, but Ye Shaolong and Hall Master Hong turned a blind eye. The two talked and laughed as they walked.

I only heard Ye Shaolong say with emotion: "Master Hong, this trip down, your Hong Mansion is not small!" ”

Hall Master Hong was quite modest, and said, "Where is it, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the Ye Mansion of the Lord." ”

"Hey, Master Hong shouldn't be modest, and this official doesn't mean anything else. As the so-called merit is not punished, you have your mansion for nothing, Ye always feels sorry in his heart. The expression on Ye Shaolong's face tightened, pretending to be unhappy.

"Your Excellency is still out of sight!"

Hall Master Hong shook his head again and again, and said with a displeased expression: "What is a small mansion? If it is compared to what the adults do for Hong, what is this to worry about. If it is really calculated, it is still the adults who suffer, and it is Hong who takes advantage. ”

"Hehe......"

Ye Shaolong couldn't say anything more after hearing this? He has entrusted the matter of Lord Hong to Mingzhu Gege, who returned to the capital, and he will be responsible for mentioning it to the emperor at that time.

When Hall Master Hong learned about it, he was very grateful, and he was also grateful to Ye Shaolong. He knew that if he entrusted Gege to say it, the effect would naturally be better than Ye Shaolong, and it would be a surprise for Hall Master Hong to get such treatment.

The two walked and stopped, and came to the main hall of Hongfu, which was already full of people. The person sitting in the middle of the seat was the old man Su Can, the wine gourd that never left his body was being lifted high at the moment, and the transparent wine kept pouring into Su Can's mouth.

Ye Shaolong and Hall Master Hong entered the main hall together, and everyone present stood up to greet each other, Ye Shaolong also politely hugged his fists and saluted one by one.

After Su Can was full of wine, he put away the wine gourd, and said in a disdainful voice full of wine: "Your kid is a lot more majestic now!" ”

"What? Can I understand that you are jealous of me? Ye Shaolong sat down beside him.

"Hmph, the old man needs to be jealous of you. When the people here saw the old man, they all called Su Lao, you kid want to compare with the old man, and he is still hot. Otherwise, how do you think the old man is sitting in this position now? Su Can's face was full of disdain.

Ye Shaolong didn't bother to argue with Su Can about this, with his current qualifications, he really couldn't argue with Su Can on the same stage. People are precious in self-knowledge, and Ye Shaolong understands this in his heart, there is no need to justify something like this.

After sitting down, Ye Shaolong glanced at the main hall and found that everyone had arrived, so he stood up and coughed lightly: "Ahem, I invite everyone to come tonight, I believe you have already understood what is going on." I won't be verbose here, and now I solemnly ask you again. ”

Ye Shaolong paused, his eyes swept over everyone in the main hall one by one, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tonight is a life-and-death fight with the Shark Gang, and the Shark Gang believes that you already know." Its ferocious and ruthless methods make the entire martial arts despised, and tonight's fight must be harsh, so if you are afraid, it's too late to quit now! ”

Ye Shaolong's words were quite insulting, but for the sake of prudence, he had no choice but to do it. After all, fighting with the Sharks this time is no worse than going to the battlefield, and it is even more common for the dead to be injured.

It's also a good choice to say ugly things before that. After all, not everyone is willing to die for others, and some people are even older and younger in their families, and it is inevitable to take care of them.

Ye Shaolong also took these into account, so he openly asked such a thing at such a time. As soon as he said this, the main hall suddenly fell silent, and the sound of the subtle discussion just now would be completely inaudible.

Su Can secretly looked at Ye Shaolong with admiration, this is also what he has always admired Ye Shaolong, it is bright and upright enough.

The silence in the main hall continued, and there was no turmoil because of Ye Shaolong's words. After waiting for a while, Ye Shaolong didn't find anyone standing up and proposing to withdraw, he smiled and bowed deeply: "If you don't want to quit, then this matter is settled, seeing that the time is not early, I think that the shark gang should be almost here, and the Hongfu will be handed over to everyone." ”

Everyone stood up and saluted back, and shouted in unison, "Lord Ye is polite." ”

Ye Shaolong saluted again, then sat down again, leaned his mouth to Su Can's ear, and whispered: "Hong Xingtang has Brother Lao's heart, and the Shark Gang may invite someone to help tonight, and the kid has to bring someone to intercept it." ”

"Oh!"

Su Can let out a soft sigh in surprise, and then said in a suspicious tone: "You kid won't want to slip away." This Shark Gang is known as the largest gang in the provincial capital, although it lost a few people to your government last time when it was frustrated. But there was no need to ask for help, and besides, with his reputation as a shark gang, who would come to help. ”

Ye Shaolong smiled, stood up and tidied up his clothes, and said before leaving: "Foreigner!" ”

Su Can was stunned, then suddenly came over, and then nodded in agreement with Ye Shaolong's words. The Shark Gang has indeed always been with foreigners, and this time they want to come to Hong Xingtang for trouble, and it is reasonable for Hai Qianjin to invite foreigners.

After figuring out these beginnings and ends, Su Can didn't pester Ye Shaolong anymore, and after leaving, he began to arrange the defense of the Hong Mansion.

This time, the rudder of the beggar gang in the provincial capital almost poured out, and Su Can naturally became a representative figure on the rivers and lakes. The people who stayed in the Hong Mansion were also under his jurisdiction, even the Hong Hall Master himself.

After Ye Shaolong left the main hall, he hurriedly gathered more than 100 guards from the capital, as well as 300 officers and soldiers who were all equipped with muskets. With these 400 or so people, Ye Shaolong and Tie Ta hurriedly left Hongfu and set up an ambush on the way to Hongfu.

Everyone is taking off their official clothes, after all, they are fighting with foreigners, and the current Qing Dynasty cannot be above board. A little superficial cover-up is still necessary, and Ye Shaolong is quite helpless in his heart.

The foreigners are now powerful, the ships are strong, and the entire Qing Dynasty has been completely blocked, like a dying elephant, stared at by a pack of hungry wolves.

As long as the elephant falls, it is the time for the wolves to pounce on them and eat. Whether it will be the last straw that crushes this elephant, Ye Shaolong still has no way of knowing, but it is time for him to start planning for the rest of his life and that of his family.
