Xia Huanfeng listened to Mingyi's question about Li Wuwu, was stunned for a while, and sat down: "I blame me for being inconsiderate about this, and the last two bottles were snatched by my sister who knew each other." I'll make a new one and send it to my sister myself. ”

Mingyi recalled that Hong Yi didn't mention the wine again, and he didn't want to owe favors anymore: "Don't bother, if you want to drink, I'll come to Rongyifang, and if you have good food, you can drink, wouldn't it be more beautiful?" ”

"My shop in the East Market will open in a few days, and I'm about to ask the stone to calculate a good day." Xia Huanfeng smiled lightly and poured wine for Shi Ruoshan.

Shi Ruoshan didn't look at her squarely, pinched his fingers and read the words: "It's good in five days, it's your eight characters, I'm afraid it's a little rushed." ”

Xia Huanfeng pulled his long hair to his chest and stroked it: "No problem, add two more adult hands, and rush off work overnight." ”

Ma Chengling snorted, not daring to say more.

Shi Ruoshan glanced at him and coughed: "Phantom Feng, you want to open a branch, I believe you have your plans." It's just that the gang has to worry more about the foothold of Chang'an. ”

"Are you not going to pay for it now?" Xia Huanfeng's eyes were threatening, his voice was cold, and that bit of charm disappeared.

Shi Ruoshan stiffly pulled out a smile: "You don't know, in recent years, the gang has expanded rapidly, and it has accepted a lot of people, so you have to let them eat." I can fill the hole over there. ”

Xia Huanfeng said: "I have a lot of offerings here every year. I won't say much about Pony's dart game, and no matter how much I save him, I can't save him the cost of drinking flower wine. ”

Ma Chengling held the wine glass tightly in his hand, wanting to have a seizure, but was glared at by Shi Ruoshan and held back.

A trace of contempt floated at the corner of Xia Huanfeng's mouth: "There is a rice noodle shop, there are few people, and the business profit under the dark is so big, it stands to reason that it is the most profitable, and the money offered is not as good as my tavern here, what is the reason?" ”

Shi Ruoshan defended: "The salt dealers connected to the rice shop are not easy to deal with, they are becoming more and more greedy, and it is difficult for the storage lady to ......."

"A few profiteers on the ground can't handle it, and what are they talking about strengthening the gang! I don't think it's impossible to do it, but Chu Niangzi doesn't want to offend people, and anyway, there are a lot of benefits for herself. Xia Huanfeng snorted coldly, "I think you are too dependent on her." ”

Ma Chengling came to the ground and forgot the displeasure just now: "That's right! If she causes any trouble there, I will settle it with Brother Hua, and she will say thank you when it is over, twist her ass and leave. The benefits are all accounted for! ”

Xia Huanfeng didn't bother to take care of him. didn't even look at him, and continued to count: "Over there in the martial arts hall, that Hua Zixian, brute force is there, but how much real kung fu is there?" The recruits are all local ruffians, how many can fight? I am snorting and drinking, brothers come and go, raising so much waste, how much money does it cost the gang? ”

Shi Ruoshan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "After all, the gang needs manpower, otherwise who will give us face." ”

"A rabble, thousands of people are not as good as three or two masters." Xia Huanfeng interrupted him and put on an angry look, "There are also the Xiao family couple over there in the quality shop, the money of the entire gang is in the quality shop, let them go out to collect profits." But have you ever seen the clear ledger? ”

Shi Ruoshan became more and more unconfident: "But they have to hand over the profits every year to support so many brothers......"

Hearing this, Ming Yi was completely on Xia Huanfeng's side, it seemed that Shi Ruoshan, the gang leader, was in name only, and he couldn't control the four elders under him at all, but as the son-in-law of the old gang leader, it was logical to be in this position.

A gang is so uncentripetal, either selfish or unenterprising, no wonder it has been in a corner of peace for so many years.

Ma Chengling saw that Shi Ruoshan didn't dare to come out, and the fire suddenly came up: "Don't go too far!" No matter what Brother Shi says, he is the leader of a gang, you can do it! Just hide in Chang'an, you are free, what is the difference between you and others! ”

Xia Huanfeng stood up abruptly and stepped on the chair with one foot: "If I hadn't appeased the Shentu brothers here, would you think that the Shentu family would be able to watch you make trouble in Yangzhou, and give you a place to sleep under the feet of the tiger." If it weren't for Gong Junhao's good friendship with me, wouldn't those gangs that want to expand their power trouble you? Is it too comfortable to live in Yangzhou, so that you think that the rivers and lakes are so casual and can eat and drink spicy? ”

Shi Ruoshan grabbed the edge of the table, and the green tendons on the back of his hand appeared, but he soon relaxed, and there was no emotion on his face.

Ming Yi suddenly felt that Shi Ruoshan was not just a good old man as simple as he thought.

Of course, Ma Chengling couldn't bear it, and slapped the table with one palm: "Don't say that we all rely on you to live!" If you can't bear it, you can help the master! See who serves you! ”

Shi Ruoshan glanced at him, his eyes complicated.

Ming Yi wanted to laugh a little, obviously Ma Chengling didn't take Shi Ruoshan seriously in his heart.

Xia Huanfeng probably felt that it was boring for him to talk to such a simple-minded reckless man, patted his chair, and sat down: "I never thought of being a gang leader, I just wanted to be able to carry forward the Shangguan gang, and one day, let the Shentu family, the Taoqi Gang and Gong Junhao have to take care of us." Stone, don't worry about it, it's just that you have too good a temper and give too much space to the elders, so it's not a solution. ”

Shi Ruoshan sighed deeply: "It's not that I don't understand, but I don't have peerless martial arts, and I don't have the means like yours, why should I convince them." ”

Xia Huanfeng was stunned for a moment, and put his hand on his shoulder: "When you all arrive in Chang'an, I will recruit some really powerful brothers for you, establish your own prestige, and take your time." ”

Shi Ruoshan also patted her shoulder: "Thank you, Xinzhao!" ”

Ma Chengling saw this group of harmony, only then did he feel that he was reckless, and picked up the wine glass again: "Count me brainless!" Don't be surprised. ”

The little guy outside heard that calm had regained inside, and he rushed in with wine and food.

The three of them looked at the cracked table, crying and laughing.

changed the table and put the wine and food on the table, Fang Cai's saber rattling disappeared all of a sudden, and he pushed the glass one by one, it seemed that tomorrow would be a good time for the Shangguan gang to dominate the rivers and lakes.

Ming Yi felt very interesting, at least these Jianghu people, their joy and anger were on their faces, which was very real.

Xia Huanfeng caught the smile on the corner of her mouth, and said coquettishly: "Sister, are you laughing at Huanfeng?" I'm not so rude all the time. ”

Shi Ruoshan laughed and said, "I'm afraid that Sister Mingyi is laughing at us fighting in the nest." ”

Ming Yi raised his glass to the three people in front of him: "Don't dare, I envy a few people who have deep friendships, go straight to the point, and can tell the truth are true brothers!" ”

Ma Chengling also raised his glass together: "Sister Mingyi is right!" It's rare that we can get together, although my sister is not a helper, but also our true brother! ”

Xia Huanfeng drank all the wine in the cup, and then looked straight into Ming Yi's eyes: "Then I won't go around in circles anymore, I have long wanted to invite Ming Niangzi to join the Shangguan Gang and become my right-hand man here in Chang'an." What does Mingyi think? ”
