As soon as Liu Zhibang and Lu Er entered Wujiazhuang with the horse team, they saw Hu Gang and Mu Tong standing at the corner of the street with dozens of people waiting.

"Haha...... Patriarch Liu, you are finally here, Hu Darttou and I have been waiting for several hours, hard work, hard work, come down and go into the house to drink hot wine to relieve fatigue...... Mu Tong greeted him warmly, holding Liu Zhibang's horse reins.

Liu Zhibang turned over and dismounted, looked around the town again, only to see a brick house connected together, just outside the village when he felt that the scale was not small, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of people, at this time into the village, but also felt prosperous, nearly ten meters wide on both sides of the village road actually there are a lot of shops, people come and go, quite lively.

"Please, this is the branch of the Hengchang Chamber of Commerce in Wujiazhuang, the place is a little smaller, don't dislike it Patriarch Liu, come, please ...... inside" Mu Tong took Liu Zhibang's hand and walked into the branch of the Hengchang Chamber of Commerce.

Ah Meng and Lu Er followed closely behind Liu Zhibang, looking around vigilantly, everyone passed through the pavement of the front hall, and entered a courtyard full of flowers and plants through the side door, the yard is nearly two acres in size, and there are ponds and rockeries in it, which is quite exquisite. Walking through a winding path, I entered a hall at the back of the courtyard, where there were several large round tables, and at the back door of the hall were constantly filled with steaming delicacies.

"Patriarch Liu, I'm waiting for you!"

Liu Zhibang looked sideways, Qi Kun was sitting at a round table at this time, his face had been washed, and his spirit was much better.

Liu Zhibang said coldly: "Lord Qi, are you feeling better?" ”

Qi Kun snorted and said: "Thanks to Patriarch Liu's concern, this official is much better, this is not far from Xia Yuan City, when I return to Xia Yuan City, Qi will also thank Patriarch Liu for his hospitality to our uncle and nephew these days!" ”

Liu Zhibang smiled slightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Lord Qi's uncle and nephew are timid, don't be too anxious, there is still a day to go, hum......"

Qi Kun saw the cold light flickering in Liu Zhibang's eyes, and he was a little scared in his heart, so he didn't speak, lowered his head and drank stuffy wine.

Mu Tong snorted, pulled Liu Zhibang to sit at another table, and said: "Patriarch Liu, this Lord Qi seems to have some identity in Xia Yuancheng, Patriarch Liu is really wide-faced, maybe I will have to rely on your place in the future, but I forgive you for being lonely and unheard, it seems that I have never heard of a Han nationality in this radius, where did Patriarch Liu come from?" ”

Hu Gang also pretended to be curious and stared at Liu Zhibang, Liu Zhibang glanced at Mu Tong with a suspicious face, and said with a cold smile: "The Han nationality has only been established for a few days, and it is not surprising that the two of you don't know, the predecessor of the Han nationality is the Fire Dance Clan......"

"Fire Dancers...... It's the fire dancer at the end of Wumang Mountain in the east, by the sea! Hu Gang interjected.

Liu Zhibang nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Hu Gang said again: "I have also heard of this tribe, but as far as I know, the patriarch of the Fire Dance Clan should be called Mountain Fu, Patriarch Liu, do you know this person?" ”

Liu Zhibang replied lightly: "That's the former patriarch ......"

Mu Tong was shocked when he heard this: "Mountain Fury has passed away? ”

"Hmm......" Liu Zhibang replied coldly.

Hu Gang suddenly interjected and asked: "A few days ago, there was a rumor in Xia Yuan City, an earth-shattering event happened on the eastern side of Wumang Mountain, a tax official sent by Xia Yuan City Lord to collect taxes was killed, and the tax goods were also robbed, Patriarch Liu, do you know about this?" ”

Liu Zhibang raised his eyes and looked at Hu Gang staring at his eyes, the corners of his mouth crossed an arc, and said, "I heard about it!" ”

Hu Gang followed up and asked, "I heard that the tax officer who robbed and killed was our young tribal patriarch, and his surname is Liu ...... like you."

Liu Zhibang nodded and said, "Do you think I'm the Patriarch Liu?" ”

Hu Gang saw Liu Zhibang staring at him, his black eyes were like a bottomless abyss, and he wanted to pull himself in, so he hurriedly lowered his gaze and said softly: "How could it be you!" If I were that Patriarch Liu, I wouldn't dare to go to Xia Yuan City to die! ”

Liu Zhibang saw Hu Gang bow his head, he looked at Mu Tong again, this shrewd businessman in his forties was trembling slightly at this time, Liu Zhibang smiled sweetly at him, and said loudly: "Lu Er, tell my brother to fence off the yard, and no idle people are allowed to come in and disturb me and a few good friends for a drink......"

"Yes!"

When Lu Er heard this, he immediately got up and whistled, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and soon it filled all the corners outside the courtyard wall.

"Patriarch Liu, what do you mean by this?" Mu Tong stood up.

"Liu Zhibang, it's really you, you are not small, but don't forget, this is Wujiazhuang, and it is the territory of my Xiongfeng Dart Bureau......"

Liu Zhibang didn't get up, looked at Hu Gang, who was so calm, and Mu Gang, who was trembling, smiled lightly, and said: "Presumably you also know Qi Kun's identity, and I won't hide it from you, I am Liu Zhibang, since the words are open, hum ......."

"You...... What do you mean? Mu Tong couldn't help but ask.

Liu Zhibang turned his head to Ah Meng and said: "The shopkeeper of the Hengchang Chamber of Commerce Mu Tong and the dart master of the Xiongfeng Dart Bureau Hu Gang are in cahoots, and they rebelled when they see the wealth, and brutally kill Qi Kun and Qi Ming's family of ten. Ah Meng......"

Ah Menghuo stood up, laughed, and said, "Mom, it's so troublesome to kill someone, what reason does the patriarch want to kill, leave it to me......"

"Shan Meng, you dare to ...... Ah......h

"Grandpa Meng, don't kill me...... Ah......" Qi Ming was even more unbearable, there was still chicken in his mouth, but his head became a mess of paste, but it was better for him to die after eating enough than starving every day in the Han people, and it was better to live and die than to be hungry every day in the Han people, and he also fulfilled his wish and became a full ghost.

As a result, Qi Kun and his son, Ah Meng walked towards Mu Tong with a bloody mace.

"Patriarch Liu, Patriarch Liu, slow ......" Mu Tong shouted to Liu Zhibang with his hands raised.

Liu Zhibang waved his hand, and Ah Meng reluctantly put down the bloody mace, stood beside Liu Zhibang, and looked at Hu Gang and Mu Tong with a tigerish gaze.

Seeing that Ah Meng put down the terrifying huge mace, Mu Tong and Hu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Tong barely squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, and said, "Patriarch Liu, if you have something to say, don't move so much......
