Chapter Eighty-Eight: Bloody Rivers and Lakes

After nearly half a month of layout adjustments, Tian Gonghe has rearranged the division of labor among his disciples. When Tian Gonghe did not open a martial arts hall, he only accepted five apprentices, the eldest apprentice Qu Jian, the second apprentice Wang Ruosong, the third apprentice Ji Chenglin, the fourth apprentice Cao Sanchong, the fifth apprentice Lu Yaode, and then the eldest son Tian Wen, the younger son Tian Wu, and the daughter Tian Shufen married the eldest apprentice Qu Jian. Chen Da is an apprentice who was accepted after the opening of the museum, and no one can match his courage and courage, so this assassination operation was handed over to Chen Da, and he finally fulfilled his mission.

Tian Gonghe made a specific division of labor for his two sons and five close apprentices. Tian Wen followed Tian Gong and took charge of the overall situation, and his youngest son Tian Wu specialized in managing the martial arts hall. The operation of shops and fees on Langfang Street were taken care of by Qu Jian, and Wang Ruosong led many disciples to deal with all kinds of disputes and fights in the inner city. Ji Chenglin was in charge of Fengyue venues and gambling halls, coolie freight was returned to Cao Sanchong, black market trading and news were returned to Lu Yao, and Chen Da followed Qu Jian to manage the brothers on Langfang Street to deal with various disputes.

When everything was back on the right path, Tian Gonghe invited Tang Tong to the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, that is, his own home for a banquet. At the banquet, Tang Tong was pulled to the main hall and sat with Tian Gonghe. Two sons and five apprentices, plus Chen Da, just ten people at a table.

The people in the rivers and lakes are the most righteous and angry, and at the beginning of the banquet, Tian Gonghe raised his glass, "Come and raise your glass, toast to our victory!", everyone drank together.

Tian Gonghe happily pointed at Tang Tong, "We have to thank Brother Tang for this victory!", everyone present nodded again and again, through these days of contact, they have a deep understanding of Tang Tong's personality and ability, and they have long regarded Tang Tong as their own person.

"Come on! Brother Donald! Brother salute you three glasses!", Tian Gonghe came to be interested, and he was a dismount at the beginning.

Tang Tong picked up the wine glass and stood up and waved his hand, "This is everyone's credit, how dare Tang take the big credit alone and do it!", after speaking, he and Tian Gonghe toasted three glasses.

As soon as he sat down, the eldest apprentice Qu Jian raised his wine glass and stood up, "Lord Tang, Qu Jian respects you with a glass!".

Tang Tong stood up without thinking, "There are no adults here, Brother Tian called me my brother just now, I can't mess with my seniority, when I was in Xuanfu, they all called me Tongye, you just call me Tongye!" Come and do it!", Tang Tong dried the wine.

Then he came down and drank seven more glasses of wine, and just as he stopped, suddenly a woman's voice came. Tongye! The little girl toasts you a glass and wishes you good luck!"

Tang Tong looked back and saw a woman in her twenties, wearing a practice shirt, sassy and heroic. Tang Tong stood up, "This is a little woman, is she clearly a heroine!" Is this?".

Tian Gong and hurriedly introduced, "This is my daughter who is my best friend in life and death, and also my daughter-in-law, Guo Shan!".

"Good! I drank this cup and gave Miss Guo a cup in return.".

Guo Shan interrupted Tang Tong's words, "No! You have to return three glasses, because I am a woman, why don't you dare?".

Tang Tong saw that this was the case, and there was no way, so he had to drink four glasses with her. Tang Tong became the target of everyone, and if he drank like this, Tang Tong got drunk and was helped into the room, so he had to live in the martial arts hall.

The next morning, I woke up with a groggy head and ate some porridge in my room. Tian Gonghe came, Tang Tong hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm sorry I got drunk yesterday!", his face still looked very haggard.

Tian Gonghe was very happy to hear it, "This is treating me as a brother!".

Tang Tong nodded again and again, "It's me Gao Pan!" Thank you Brother Tim!".

Tian Gonghe stepped forward and patted Tang Tong, "Say this, you will see the outside!" Tang Tong smiled helplessly.

"I don't know what Brother Tang's impression of my righteous daughter is?", it seems that this is the purpose of his trip.

"Excellent! I don't know what Brother Tian means?".

"If Brother Tang thinks it's okay, I will marry my righteous daughter to you!", Tian Gonghe said calmly.

Tang Tong euphemistically shirked, "I already have a crush on someone, I'm afraid I want to be wronged by Ling Ai, and I like quiet women.".

Seeing that this was the case, Tian Gonghe couldn't help but be disappointed, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Just because I didn't say it.".

Tang Tong also felt too embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Brother Tian!" Is there anything to be drawn from this decapitation operation?".

Tian Gonghe didn't seem to think so far-reaching, and the words came out casually, "Do everything quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!".

Tang Tong saw that he didn't get to the point, so he asked again; "That's all?".

Tian Gonghe said 'ah', knowing that he was not right, he politely bowed his hand, "Please teach Brother Tang!".

Tang Tong paused and said slowly; "Fang Ziguan's problem is actually Brother Tian's, if it is Brother Tian's second disciple Wang Ruosong who is beheaded, have you thought about what will happen to the outer city?".

Tian Gong and Mu Ne didn't speak, he really hadn't thought about it, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Seeing this, Tang Tong had no choice but to point out, "Your side should determine the successor as soon as possible, and there is no one who has even come up with an idea. These are the most urgent things to solve, don't you think Brother Tim?".

When Tian Gonghe heard this, he suddenly realized, "Actually, there is a master, who was chaotic a few days ago, and I can't find him anymore. Brother Tang is just my master, okay?".

"If that's the case, there is equal to nothing, my heart is in the official career, I can only help temporarily, and I have to find someone to help you come up with ideas, you and I pay attention.", Tang Tongxin is not here, and he speaks very directly.

Although he didn't keep people and regretted it, he was also very happy to see that Tang Tong was still willing to help him. Tang Tong is very accurate in seeing people, and he couldn't help but say his suggestion, "Chen Da is a good person, he should be allowed to follow Wang Ruosong as his deputy, he has been needed from time to time!".

Tian Gonghe felt very right when he heard it, and replied without hesitation: "This suggestion is good!" How I didn't expect that!".

In the following days, with the help of Tang Tong, Tian Gonghe has regained full control of the commerce, transportation, entertainment, casinos, and black markets in the outer city, and has regained his former prestige, and it has not been as good as before.

Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall is located on Caishikou Street and has now become the general altar of the underworld in the outer city. Tang Tong came to the martial arts hall from time to time and got acquainted with Tian Gonghe's many apprentices and two sons, and the successor has also been selected, which is Tian Gonghe's eldest son Tian Wen. Tang Tong's current prestige is unmatched except for Tian Gonghe, and no one is dissatisfied with martial arts or management. If it weren't for Tang Tong's intention to pursue a career, everyone would be convinced to stay in charge, and he would have become the second master.

To say that the strongest ability is Tian Gonghe's apprentice Chen Da, there is a senior brother Qu Jian, and Tian Gonghe's son-in-law, and then there is Tian Wen, they were originally a family. The second apprentice Wang Ruosong is a martial artist, the third apprentice Ji Chenglin is a prodigal son of wine and meat, and the fourth apprentice Cao Sanchong is a person who has no opinions. The little apprentice Lu Yao usually laughs and laughs, and he is calm and has a certain mind, but unfortunately he doesn't have this mind, just a spectator.

Chen Da, who has little qualifications, can't get ahead, although Chen Da has the deepest relationship with Tang Tong and can talk about it. There is a kind of melancholy in words and deeds, Tang Tong sees it in his eyes, but there is no way, the one who can take on big things must be Chen Da. Tian Wen is not suitable to be a helper at all, just because he is Tian Gonghe's son, in fact, Tian Wu and Qu Jian are more suitable than him, but this is Tian Gonghe's family matter, and Tang Tong is reluctant to talk more.

It just so happened that Tian Gonghe found a master surnamed Sun, and Tang informed him that if he stayed any longer with his ability, he would be in a hurry. When I saw it, I accepted it, and I asked Tian Gonghe to resign, and Tian Gonghe politely kept a few times.

As the captain of Xidingmen, Tang Tong, who is a fourth-grade official, why did he want to participate in the battle of the rivers and lakes? People who will have a long-term vision can see at a glance that this is needed from time to time. If you want to make your business bigger, it is important to operate, but you can't get around the forces of the rivers and lakes in the capital. With the business philosophy of Tangtong, it is based on the outer city, and it has to deal with the outer city. Instead of asking for help, it is better to help people when they are most difficult, and the effect is obvious.

It was this time of distress that rescued Tian Gonghe from the protection fee of the store opened by Tang Tong. But Tang Tong did not accept it, and still paid the protection fee as usual. shirked a few times, Tian Gonghe could only accept it, but he said that he would receive a 20% discount first. This is a matter of strategy, if you don't pay it for a long time, there will be a gap, and it is not necessary to tear your face when the time comes, this is where Tang Tong is clever, rather than owed. In this way, it is not easy to meet in the future, and there is no confidence to meet, so it is better to be tough at the beginning and not to be looked down upon.
