Chapter 608: Yejiazhuang's Crisis
The harmony between Peter and Ye Shaolong is as good as before on the surface, but secretly everyone understands that the other party is calculating. Ye Shaolong is currently in an eventful situation, and he can't spare his hands to deal with Peter. But Peter didn't want to tear his face with Ye Shaolong, and kept the surface reconciliation like now, but secretly kept making it bad, which is what Peter wanted.
Wang Dashan surrendered, Ye Shaolong gave him some trust, but he didn't let go completely, he was left in Yejiazhuang, and he didn't plan to let him go back to the pirate's den for the time being.
After a night of fighting, Yejiazhuang was damaged in many places, and some of the soldiers began to repair, and some were ordered to go to the back mountain to pick up the old and young and their families.
At dawn, the old and young women and children of Yejiazhuang moved back from the back mountain, and there would be sacrifices in the war, and some people couldn't see their men when they came back, and the family cried together.
Some families also wept with joy when they learned that their son was still alive. War is cruel, not only the fighting on the battlefield is cruel, sometimes it is often after the war, the cries of those bereaved family members are more touching the softness of the heart.
Ye Shaolong thought that he had seen too many such scenes, and now he was numb. But when he saw the scenes of those who lost their families and hugged their heads and cried, he finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears!
Comforting these grieving family members has become Yejiazhuang's main task at present. The pension that should have been issued had already been distributed, but Ye Shaolong understood that the money would never be exchanged for their relatives.
Death is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than Hongmao, these good sons and daughters of Yejiazhuang fought for Yejiazhuang and their families, and sacrificed honorably, they deserve their share of glory.
The grand and grand collective funeral began in the afternoon, and in the back mountain of Yejiazhuang, a brand-new stone tablet was erected, which densely recorded the 600 soldiers who died gloriously.
All the soldiers and civilians of Yejiazhuang were present to mourn the dead heroes and be proud of them.
The solemn funeral soothed the grief of the family, the dead were laid to rest, and the living continued to live.
After the funeral, Ye Shaolong returned to Yejiazhuang accompanied by his two wives. Looking at the grief of losing their families, Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao both cherished the happiness in front of them.
They all secretly swore that they would not give Ye Shaolong a temper in the future, after all, their men were bleeding and sweating for this family and this Ye Jiazhuang, and they had nothing to complain about.
Peter didn't come in person this time, but sent someone to bring his greetings, Ye Shaolong knew it, and didn't mention those unhappy things, and politely entertained the people sent by Peter.
It was not until the evening that Ye Shaolong was able to rest. The peace of the past was shattered because of those national treasures, and Ye Shaolong wondered all day whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Speaking of which, this time he was selfish, and he insisted on leaving those national treasures, which led to the situation in front of him. And there will be constant troubles coming to the door in the future, Yejiazhuang doesn't know what kind of predicament he has to face for this?
Fortunately, Zhao Dahu, Wu Xiong, Su Can, and Tie Ta finally understood him and followed him without regrets. It can be said that there is no reason to trust, which makes Ye Shaolong very moved, but at the same time he feels that he is a bastard.
Under such torment, Ye Shaolong wanted to leave with his burden, but a voice in his heart told him that he couldn't give up halfway. After all, 600 lives have already been paid for it, and if he gives up his persistence now, then these 600 people will become a meaningless sacrifice.
Tired, Ye Shaolong wanted to go to bed early, but someone came to report that someone outside the village asked to see him.
Open the worship post, the leader of the Hong Gang, Tu Xi. Ye Shaolong didn't know him at all, but he had heard of this Hong Gang, and it was a well-known organization in the provincial capital.
And when he came to visit suddenly, Ye Shaolong knew with his toes why the other party came. It was really a wave of unsettled, and Ye Shaolong wanted to ignore it directly, but he was afraid that the other party would be angry and angry.
The characters on the rivers and lakes, Ye Shaolong of course has to call Su Can, an old-timer in the rivers and lakes. I believe that with him, he can still deter these younger generations.
asked people to call Su Can to the front hall, Ye Shaolong changed his clothes, and with the support of the guards, he went to the conference hall to meet the guests.
An old man with white hair, beside two middle-aged men, the three of them sat firmly in the conference hall, and when Ye Shaolong arrived, the three of them did not have any intention of getting up to say hello.
As the leader of the Hong Gang, he was so rude, Ye Shaolong labeled him as soon as he entered the door, arrogant!
Similarly, without paying any attention, Ye Shaolong sat down directly on the first place, and then ignored the three indifferent guys at all, treating them completely as air.
The white-haired old man was the gang leader Tu Xi, and he saw that Ye Shaolong actually sat straight on the main seat. Only then did I realize that this should be the master.
What he saw just now was just a lame young man, and he didn't expect that this person was Ye Shaolong, the owner of Yejiazhuang. The rude treatment just now, although it was a misunderstanding, was a little unbearable on this face.
Seeing the old man's face change, Ye Shaolong had already guessed his thoughts. But as long as the old man didn't admit his mistake first, Ye Shaolong didn't intend to just forget it.
The four of them were silent in the conference hall, and the atmosphere was a little wrong and very embarrassing. Especially Tu Xi, who understood that he had misunderstood Ye Shaolong, was even more restless.
Fortunately, not long after, Su Can arrived, and he saw Tu Xi at first sight, and after a short period of stunned, Su Can laughed: "Brother Tu! ”
As soon as Su Can entered the door, Tu Xi's eyes lit up, and when Su Can opened his mouth, he was even more affirmed: "Brother Su is you?" ”
The two obviously know each other, and the relationship should be good, as can be seen from their respective titles.
Su Can walked quickly in front of Tu Xi and said in surprise: "Brother Tu, why are you here?" ”
Tu Xi stood up, this would be polite, hugged his fists and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be here, Brother Su, since I said goodbye three years ago, there has been no news of you." Later, I heard that you were doing great things in the north, why are you here now? ”
"Alas, it's hard to say, I'll have a chance to talk to my eldest brother about this later. But Brother Tu, are you here? Su Can's eyes began to sweep back and forth on Ye Shaolong and Tu Xi.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Tu Xi's face, but when he met Su Can, he let it go, and said with a smile: "Recently, there is a big news spread in the mainland, not only in the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, but also in the officialdom. Big brother, I still have some connections in Xiangjiang, so I hurried here to find out the truth. ”
Hearing him say this, Su Can was already sure that Tu Xi was also here for the national treasure. He suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "Brother Tu is also fighting those national treasures? ”
Su Can said that if he changed his face, he would change his face, and the sudden change made Tu Xi not react for a while, and after a while, he said suspiciously: "Could it be that those national treasures are true?" ”
Su Can was already sure that Tu Xi was indeed here for national treasures, so he immediately took a step back, distanced himself from Tu Xi, and said coldly: "I didn't expect Brother Tu to be such a snobbish person, if Big Brother is here for those national treasures, I think there will be nothing to talk about between us." ”
Tu Xi frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Su, the friendship between you and me is still there, and I am also a nostalgic person." Now the eldest brother only asks you, are these national treasures in your hands now, or are they in his hands? ”
Tu Xi pointed at Ye Shaolong, he couldn't figure it out until now? What is the relationship between Su Can and Ye Shaolong, and whether Ye Shaolong or Su Can has the final say?
"Does it make a difference?" Su Can replied coldly.
"Yes, it's a big difference. If it is in your hands, I can give up, but in his hands, then I will be unkind. Tu Xi looked serious at the moment, obviously he wasn't joking.
Su Can just wanted to answer, but Ye Shaolong took a step ahead of him and said: "Old man, you may still be a senior in the mainland, here, I'm sorry, you are nothing, so please don't rely on the old and sell the old here." And you're nothing in my eyes, so please be respectful when you speak. ”
Tu Xi's arrogance made Ye Shaolong very unhappy, and when dealing with such a person, Ye Shaolong would never be polite. People respect me a foot, I respect him for a fight, respect is mutual, not one-sided.
As an old-timer, he is the leader of the Hong Gang, but he was counted down by such a junior in front of his colleagues, and Tu Xi's face suddenly became a little unbearable.
What's more, this time he came to ask for something, which would be even more impatient, Tu Xi immediately became angry: "Presumptuous, don't toast and don't eat and drink." If it weren't for Brother Su's face today, you would have been bloodstained on the spot. ”
has been on the rivers and lakes all his life, Tu Xi is obviously not a good person, and he will be provoked by Ye Shaolong and immediately turn his face.
However, Tu Xi was in a hurry to come to Xiangjiang this time, and he did not inquire about the changes in Xiangjiang. The Chinese who are still in Xiangjiang are still under the control of the four or two major families.
And even if he Tu Xi is an old-timer in the eyes of the four major families, the Hong Gang is also inextricably linked with the four major families. So at this moment, he didn't take Ye Shaolong in his eyes at all.
He ignored one of Ye Shaolong's most important things, that is, if Ye Shaolong couldn't eat it in Xiangjiang, those national treasures would definitely not fall into his hands.
"Oh, let my blood be splattered on the spot, I'm going to see how you make me splash." Ye Shaolong smiled angrily, this old man obviously hadn't figured out the situation yet.
Tu Xi was provoked by Ye Shaolong, and immediately became furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start, but was stopped by Su Can: "Brother Tu, don't do it, don't make it difficult for me." ”
Su Can's meaning is obvious, don't do it here, he has already made it clear that if Tu Xi does it, he will not sit idly by. How is Su Can's skills? Tu Xi knew very well that he was confident that he was not Su Can's opponent.
What's more, at this moment, it is on Ye Shaolong's land, and if he starts fighting here, he will suffer no matter what. As soon as I entered the door, there was an oolong, which would have turned against each other, and there was nothing to continue to talk about.
Tu Xi then hurriedly left, judging from his expression, Ye Shaolong could be sure that he would not give up.
"Brother Su, you have a very good relationship with him?" Ye Shaolong is very concerned about the relationship between Su Can and Tu Xi, if the two are really too good, then he is really not good at doing too much.
Su Can hesitated, shook his head and said, "It's not so close, it's just that the friends on the rivers and lakes used to respect each other." As for now, people will always change, and you don't need to be too scrupulous. ”
"That's enough for you." Ye Shaolong smiled, he could now deal with this Tu Xi unscrupulously.
The gang leader of the Hong Gang has just left here, and before Ye Shaolong left the council hall, he came down to send a post, and the signature on it was Chen Xin, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society.
The Heaven and Earth Society and the Hong Gang are both big gangs, and they both have a high status in the rivers and lakes. Ye Shaolong and Su Can glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Chen Xin is a middle-aged man who has only been the leader of the association for two years, and this time he came to visit alone. As soon as he entered the door, he also saw Su Can, and the two obviously knew each other.
After some politeness, Su Can also introduced Ye Shaolong to Chen Xin, and Chen Xin's attitude was obviously much better than that of Tu Xi in the former.
"The name of the owner of the Yezhuang for a long time, when I saw it today, he was really a young hero. As early as when I was in the mainland, I had been listening to the heroic deeds of Ye Zhuang in the north. It's a pity that I have admired it for a long time but have no chance to visit! Chen Xin said very emotionally and sincerely, and he didn't see any suspicion of contrivedness.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Ye Shaolong laughed with him, and said: "Master Chen is polite, I don't know what is the so-called matter of today's visit?" ”
Chen Xin immediately put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Don't hide it from the owner of Ye Zhuang, this time I came to Xiangjiang myself on the entrustment of Mr. Sun. It has been rumored in the mainland that Ye Zhuang has obtained a large number of national treasures, and Mr. Sun is afraid that you will not be able to cope with it, so he specially asked me to come and help. Also, Mr. Sun asked me to inform the owner of Ye Zhuang that the activities of the Japanese have been very frequent recently, and I want you to take precautions. ”
Hearing that Chen Xin was actually entrusted by Mr. Sun to come to help, not the idea of fighting a national treasure, Ye Shaolong and Su Can were relieved.
If the Heaven and Earth Association also joined the team of treasure snatchers this time, Ye Shaolong really didn't have the confidence to deal with it.
Mr. Huansun was obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter, and knew that it would be good to ask someone to come and help.
"It turns out that Master Chen is here to help, I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you just now, I hope you will forgive me." Ye Shaolong apologized very sincerely.
Chen Xin was obviously very generous, and waved his hand again and again: "Lord Ye Zhuang is serious, and there are also a group of my brothers who came with me this time. I hope that the owner of Ye Zhuang can arrange a place for them to live. ”
Ye Shaolong laughed: "Of course this has to be arranged, Brother Su, please take a trip with Brother Chen and arrange the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society." ”
Su Can happily agreed, this is a good thing, and he is also very happy. Subsequently, the two resigned. 8)
