"What's that?" The second boss asked with a concerned face.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't speak, but he already had his own guess in his heart. He looked at the big boss, only to see that the big boss frowned, and said with a stern expression: "It is said to be a map of the great treasure outside the gate." ”

"The Great Treasure Outside the Gate?" The second master's eyes lit up, and he stood up involuntarily.

The big boss nodded, and said thoughtfully: "This big treasure has attracted the attention of many forces, Zhang Yongheng of the Jinan Marshal's Mansion, Li Lanru, the eunuch force, and this grandson, all of them are eyeing this treasure map. ”

"And whose hands is this treasure map now?" Second, the master couldn't wait to ask.

The big boss said worriedly: "This is one of the things I have summoned you to a meeting this time to discuss. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued, "According to the information I received, this treasure map has been in the hands of a young man named Wu Maoshan, but where this young man is now, I haven't found out yet, but one thing is certain, Sun Haozi is following this Wu Mao Mountain, as long as you find Sun Haozi, you are not afraid that you will not be able to find Wu Maoshan himself, and when the time comes, the treasure map will be at your fingertips." ”

"Wu Mao Mountain?" The second master muttered thoughtfully, "Who is this?" Why have I never heard of it on the rivers and lakes? ”

The big boss said with a cautious face: "This Wu Maoshan is said to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy boy......"

Before the words fell, the second master grabbed the words and said: "Since he is a little-known hairy boy, it will be much easier to do, leave it to me, my brother over there has been wandering outside all the year round, and these things are the best at finding out the news." As long as you find out his whereabouts, you can get the treasure map by the way. ”

The big boss glanced at the second boss and said disdainfully: "This Wu Maoshan is not as simple as you imagined, he can help Zhang Yongheng regain the Marshal's Mansion from Li Lanru, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is by no means an ordinary person." You ask yourself how many of those wine bags and rice bags under your command have his ability? ”

There is a number of meanings in the words of the big boss, and the second master was speechless when he heard the words, and he bowed his head slightly and stopped talking.

Wu Zhiyuan had been listening quietly to the conversation between the two, and when he saw the opportunity, he pretended to be surprised and asked, "A stinky boy who has not dried up has such ability?" Big brother, don't be too ambitious to destroy your own prestige. ”

The big boss snorted coldly when he heard this, and said angrily: "Be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, do you carelessly underestimate the enemy and suffer less losses?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly nodded "yes", and the second master lowered his head, sat on the Taishi chair, and did not speak again.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent. The big boss coughed lightly and said loudly: "No matter how powerful this Wu Mao Mountain is, it's always right for us to be more careful." Tomorrow, our various rudders will assign men to search for the whereabouts of Sun Haozi near the boundary between Longshan and Haiyang, remember, if we find a trace of Sun Haozi, we must not act rashly, our purpose is not Sun Haozi himself, but the treasure map of Wu Maoshan who is traveling with him. ”

The second master hurriedly got up and shouted "yes", and Wu Zhiyuan also stood up and responded when he saw this.

The big boss nodded, and said in a loud voice: "No matter who this big treasure outside the gate falls into, it will be a threat to our Baolin Hall, and if it falls into our hands, it will not only expand the power of our Baolin Hall, but also shock the prestige of our Baolin Hall in the rivers and lakes, so that other gangs will be impressed by our Baolin Hall, so it is very important for us to get that treasure map, and we must grab the map!" ”

The second master and Wu Zhiyuan nodded again in agreement.

"Boss, didn't you say that there are two important things to discuss? What's the other thing? After a moment of silence, the second master asked.

The big boss sighed when he heard this, and stomped his feet slightly angrily: "It's a bit heartwarming to say, this whole Shandong is full of our Baolin Hall's territory, but now it has been intervened by others!" ”

"What?" The second master slapped the table in surprise and anger and stood up, "Which Wang Ba Calf is so bold and dares to spread wild in our Baolin Hall's territory?" ”

The big boss sighed again: "Although this gang is thousands of miles away from us, its strength is reachable everywhere. Although Shandong is our territory, if he wants to take Shandong, I am afraid that we can only give it away. Speaking of this, the big boss changed his words and said with encouragement, "So I just said, if we get that big treasure outside the gate, we will have enough funds to expand our strength, and we will no longer be afraid of other gangs that are more powerful than us." ”

"Boss, what do you mean...... We can't afford to mess with the gang that came to rob us of the territory of Baolin Hall? The second master seemed to ask knowingly.

The big boss nodded cautiously and slowly.

"And there are gangs that we can't mess with in Baolin Hall?" Wu Zhiyuan asked in feigned shock, "What kind of bird gang?" Lao Tzu took someone to level it! As he spoke, he made a gesture of gearing up.

Dadang's parents took a breath and said word by word: "Green Gang!" ”

"Green ...... Green Gang? The second master's face immediately changed when he heard this, it seemed that the Green Gang was really a terrible gang, so terrible that his voice began to tremble slightly.

Although Wu Zhiyuan has been in the rivers and lakes for some time, he is not familiar with the disputes between gangs, and he doesn't know the difference between factions such as the Qinggang Hongmen, so he is not surprised at this time, but when he sees the frightened appearance of the second master, it is not easy to be too calm, so he can only learn from the appearance of the second leader, and make a shocked look, but he is thinking in his heart: "What kind of gang is this Green Gang, why did the second leader of Baolin Hall change his face immediately when he heard this name?" Just thinking about it, I only heard the big boss say: "The Green Gang lives far away in the prosperous area of Shanghai, although there are forces in various places, but there is no positive conflict with our Baolin Hall, the well water does not interfere with the river water, but ......" The big boss stopped, picked up the teacup on the table, and brought it to his mouth.

"But what?" The second master asked eagerly.

As soon as the teacup in the big boss's hand was brought to his mouth, he put it on the table again, and he said in a deep voice: "But I received news last month that the entire Qingdao City is now basically under the control of the Qing Gang. ”

"Oh? How could such a thing happen? How come I don't know at all? The second master's face was full of astonishment, and then he looked at Wu Zhiyuan and asked, "Third brother, have you heard of it?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan shook his head blankly, in fact, he really didn't know.

The big boss said solemnly: "The Qing Gang controls Qingdao City, in fact, it doesn't cost a single soldier, they take over the entire timber business in Qingdao, and then win over the squires and local forces, and control the economic lifeline of Qingdao in one fell swoop, and now most of the business in Qingdao City is actually controlled by the people of the Qing Gang." ”

"However, after my later observations, it seems that the Qing Gang is only interested in Qingdao City, and after getting Qingdao, they have not expanded their sphere of influence outward, which is why I have been delaying until now to sue you. As long as the Qinggang no longer pushes each other step by step, we will give up Qingdao to them to avoid disputes, and if there is a trouble, we will not be able to reap the slightest benefit. The big boss continued.

The second master nodded in agreement, but did not speak.

The big boss's face softened, and he continued: "It's not without good news, when I inquired about the Qinggang's every move in Qingdao, I inadvertently found a key person, this character was once famous, but now he has become a poor bastard, no different from a beggar begging for food on the street. ”

The second master smiled disapplausively: "What key person can a beggar become?" Boss, you love to laugh. ”

"Hey." The big boss waved his hand, "The Qing Gang controls Qingdao City, and it has a great relationship with this person, but these are not important, the important thing is that he knows Wu Mao Mountain, and it is very likely that he knows Wu Mao Mountain's whereabouts." ”

Before the words fell, the big boss shouted: "Bring people up!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and secretly asked in his heart: "Who will this person the big boss say?" ”

At this moment, two big men pushed a man into the hall, the man was thin, his face was dirty, his hair had not been taken care of for a long time, it had grown very long, hanging down in front of him, covering half of his face, like a beggar.

The man was constantly pushed into the hall by the two big men behind him, and the big man behind him pushed hard, and the man suddenly stood unsteadily, and fell at the feet of Wu Zhiyuan and the second master.

He struggled to get up, raised his head and looked at Wu Zhiyuan and the second master who were standing in front of him. Wu Zhiyuan made eye contact with him and was immediately taken aback!
