Chapter 289: Laughing Buddha
The wine brought by Xia Huanfeng opened a jar and put it on the table next to it, and there was a strong fragrance. Mingyi doesn't know much about wine, and it smells more like the aroma of rice wine similar to Guyue Longshan in modern times.
The three of them smelled the wine, and they were all amazed. It seems that Xia Huanfeng is also using his heart, and these two jars of wine are being used to curry favor with the Tianyi gang from Hangzhou.
Xia Huanfeng smiled and groaned to scoop wine for everyone at the table, using his own bamboo scoop spoon, which was suitable for a deep-bellied and narrow-mouthed wine jar. When the wine is scooped into the glass, it is a clear amber color, and the aroma is more clear, and Ming Yi can't help but raise his nose and smell it a few more times.
Gong Junhao was tasting the cured beef brought by Xia Huanfeng, and was greatly appreciative, and said that he wanted her to copy the method of making it and let her chef learn to cook.
Ming Yi knows that he is rich in Hangzhou, and as the leader of the dominant side, he is naturally not like ordinary people, and it is extremely difficult to eat beef.
Xia Huanfeng toasted a circle of wine, and seeing the pleasant atmosphere, he turned to the topic: "I came this time mainly to report to Brother Gong about the marriage between our Shangguan Gang and the Peach Seven Gang. ”
The smile on Gong Junhao's lips faded: "I've heard about this for a while." I thought I had to wait for the big wedding to wait for Phantom Maple to invite. How? Set a date? ”
Xia Huanfeng's expression was restrained, showing a very appropriate level of nervousness: "I should have discussed with Brother Gong earlier. But something happened in the gang, which made me anxious, you see, as soon as I took a free time, I came immediately, and I brought you a good wine to ask for guilt, but you must not be angry with my little sister! ”
Gong Junhao laughed and said, "Am I such a stingy person? What's more, this kind of thing is not something that Phantom Maple can call the shots, and Phantom Maple is the duty to seek for the gang. It's just that your stone gang leader is not too ambitious. ”
Ye Yi smiled: "The Shi Gang Master is not only ambitious, but also so enduring humiliation and burden, he will become a great weapon!" ”
Ming Yi understood what Ye was referring to, firstly, he ridiculed Tao Sanniang's average appearance, Shaohua was gone, and a man who had no intention and some power would not marry her, and secondly, he implied that Tianyi was well-informed, and he already knew that Shi Ruoshan was going to be rich.
Xia Huanfeng glanced at Ming Yi, this meaning is about, I am afraid that the Tianyi Gang has arranged the eyes and ears in the Peach Seven Gang.
Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "Deacon Ye has wronged our Shi Gang Master. ”
Ye sneered, and saw how she could tell the difference.
Xia Huanfeng said that for the three Tianyi gang, it was quite unexpected: "The marriage of the Shi gang leader was promoted by me, and he was extremely reluctant. ”
Gong Junhao wondered: "Oh? What is the reason for the phantom maple? I thought you were so focused on running a business that you didn't have much interest in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. ”
Xia Huanfeng smiled: "I'm not interested in Jianghu affairs, but I'm still interested in the leader of the Shangguan Gang." ”
Gong Junhao seemed to understand a little: "Do you want to marry Shi Ruoshan to the Peach Seven Gang, and you can be promoted to the gang leader?" In this way, I, as the eldest brother, must fully support you. ”
"The acting helper needs the helper's life, and Shi Ruoshan will never designate me as the deputy helper. So I had already found a candidate for him. Xia Huanfeng looked at Ming Yi, and the two of them smiled.
Gong Junhao's face was obviously relaxed: "It turns out that Phantom Feng has a plan!" Phantom Feng wants to set up another gang leader, why is it so cumbersome, tell me earlier, I will find a way to abolish Shi Ruoshan for you. If you talk to the two boys of the Shentu family, I'm afraid they will immediately send all the heads of Shi Ruoshan to you. ”
"I didn't think about it so much, after all, the old gang leader has the grace of knowing me, and Shi Ruoshan is his son-in-law. Although the position of the gang leader is indeed a gold mine, Brother Gong, you also know how much interest there is in Yangzhou's private salt. Xia Huanfeng said faintly, looking at Gong Junhao's expression.
Gong Junhao is a person who will show any true attitude: "Yes, the private salt business is like an inexhaustible gold mine. If it weren't for my friendship with Phantom Maple, I couldn't help but want to get a piece of it. ”
Xia Huanfeng looked grateful to Dade, and scooped wine for the three of them to toast.
Mingyi still hasn't shown the mountain dew. Many things are becoming clearer and clearer in my head. Who is Gong Junhao, Xia Huanfeng's beauty is definitely not too lethal to him, he looked at Yangzhou's private salt business and drooled without doing anything, obviously because he couldn't figure out the strength of the Shentu family. Although the Shentu brothers may not be as good as the Tianyi gang in terms of martial arts, the terrible thing is that they are mad dogs, and they will risk their lives to do what they believe, and their subordinates are also brothers from a gang of bandits, and the number may not be huge, but they have strong loyalty. Such a gang is very scary.
If Gong Junhao attacked the Shangguan gang, the Shentu brothers would definitely not stand idly by. On the surface, he was angry at the crown, but in fact, he would not tolerate Gong Junhao to break the current pattern of two gangs with the same big and one gang later. The Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family are nominally one or two, and the actual strength and sphere of influence of the Shentu family may not be worse than the Tianyi Gang, but it is just not much publicity. This point, seen all the way from Mingyi to Yangzhou, has been confirmed.
Ming Yi also had a clearer understanding of Xia Huanfeng's original intention of maintaining an affinity relationship with the two families, and admired it. In terms of foresight and calculating people's hearts, no one can compare with Xia Huanfeng.
Ye opened his mouth with three points of sarcasm: "Then why is Xia Niangzi determined to ignore the kindness of the old gang leader now and replace him?" ”
Xia Huanfeng pretended not to know that he was sneering: "I can't talk about this matter, I hope you have heard it and don't know it, it's really ugly and can't be publicized." I have been looking for the whereabouts of the daughter of the old gang leader, the wife of the Shi gang leader, and Shangguan Yun for many years. A while ago, there was finally news, and it was revealed that it was very likely that the death of the old gang leader was related to Shi Ruoshan. Although this matter still needs a lot of corroboration, and it is impossible to reveal his face to the whole gang now, I have confirmed it with Mingyi. ”
Gong Junhao was unexpected, but he was really a little surprised: "There is such a thing!" No wonder Phantom Maple suddenly made a move. ”
"Yes, you also know that I have always been reluctant to participate in the struggle for fame within the gang, and I am the leader of this gang, and several elders have been dissatisfied. Even if Shi Ruoshan abdicates, the Shangguan gang will never fall into my hands. Fortunately, I met Ming Yi, she is an old acquaintance with the elders of the gang, and she is also familiar with Shi Ruoshan, and she was born in a merchant family, and she has no martial arts or power in the rivers and lakes. With her as the official acting helper, Shi Ruoshan was very relieved. Phantom Feng patted Mingyi's hand, "No one knows, Mingyi and I have the same ambitions and are like sisters." I will definitely help her to sit firmly in the position of gang leader, and when the evidence is conclusive, I will uncover Shi Ruoshan and expel her from the gang. ”
Gong Junhao took a sip of wine: "Phantom Feng's plan is very good, but is there anything you need my help with?" You're here on purpose, you don't just tell the three of us outsiders about this, do you? ”
Xia Huanfeng glanced at Ming Yi and nodded.
Ming Yi is upright, neither humble nor arrogant: "As the acting leader of the Shangguan gang, I would like to take this opportunity to formally visit the Gong gang leader and the two deacons, and in the future, I will be in Chang'an together, so I will take care of me." 2k reading network
