The four of them followed the middle-aged man into the back kitchen, only to find that there was a hole here.

The hot pot restaurant is a business outside the community, and there is an anti-theft door in front of it through the back kitchen and an escalator.

After the man knocked on the door a few times, there was a strong man in a black vest inside, opened the door inside, looked through the fence vigilantly, and found that it was brought by his own people, so he opened the security door.

The second floor is a large flat floor, and the furnishings inside look a bit like a movie set.

Directly in the north hangs a statue of Guan Erye, who is more than one person tall, holding a knife.

There are also two couplets next to it:

Shanglian: Protect the country, protect the people, protect the law, and be brave and loyal

Downlink: Punish adultery, eliminate violence, punish evil, and righteousness

On the mahogany table of the Eight Immortals below, there is an incense case and three plates of tribute.

In the tray under the incense table, there is a teapot and two bowls.

There is a chair on the left and right, and it looks like it should be some years.

There are four mahogany chairs on the left and right, and there is a tea table in the middle, and there is also a circle of chairs against the wall, without backrests.

Judging from the configuration of this scene, this should be the general helm of the "Robe Brothers".

The middle-aged man who brought them up took their seats in the guest room, and then got up and knocked on the door of the next room.

Qian Sheng was just about to get up and take a closer look at the painting, when the sturdy man who had opened the door just now stood in front of him with two big flower arms, blocking his way.

"Inside, I want to ask how we get to this bathroom?"

The strong man glanced at him and stretched out his hand to point to the location of the bathroom.

Qian Sheng skillfully resolved the embarrassment in front of him, and immediately got up and slipped to the bathroom.

The stout man crossed his arms and sat down in the doorway again.

"Lao Lin, why do I think this atmosphere is wrong, I feel like I've entered a bandit's den."

Wang Qiang lowered his voice and said to Lin Yi.

"The people of the southwest are strong, and this is the territory of the chief helmsman, of course, you have to be stricter, remember the teachings of Mr., follow the rules, and everything is safe!"

When Wang Qiang heard this, he immediately sat back in his place honestly.

Bai Lu also dispelled the idea of wanting to take pictures.

Not long after the man in the white vest entered, he heard a hearty laugh coming from the back room:

"It's all distinguished guests, you didn't say it early, it's very precious."

Immediately after that, a man in a black coat came out, looking like he was fifty or sixty years old, his temples were a little gray, but his hair was meticulously combed.

He is not tall or athletic, with a pair of triangular eyes, and his eyes reveal a kind of shrewdness and sophistication.

When he saw Lin Yi and the four of them, he immediately greeted them with a smile, holding a pack of Huazi in his hand, and he was Trump.

"Guests coming to Beijing, don't you have a meal?"

If it weren't for Lin Yi's glimpse of the tattoo of the seal on his tiger's mouth, looking at his appearance, words and deeds, seriously, he might really be regarded as the owner of a hot pot restaurant.

Old Man Bai told them that in the robe brothers' meeting, at the right hand of the chief helmsman, there is a tattoo of "The King of Yanping County Recruits the General's Seal".

The king of Yanping County, who is surnamed Zhu Chenggong, also proves the identity of the "Pao Brother Society" as an anti-Qing rebel army.

This middle-aged man who looks at the market atmosphere is none other than Chen Yiwu, the current helmsman of the "Robe Brothers' Club".

Although the seniority of "Hongmen" and the seniority of "Bakui" have nothing to do with each other.

However, the "Five Branches of Hongmen" are basically in charge of affairs with the elders of the "Eight Kui" sects, and they are commensurate with the elder brothers, which is a rule set in the early years.

Chen Yiwu is not very old, but he is the same age as Bai and Luo.

No matter how "approachable" he is, Lin Yi and the others must know how to be measured.

Seeing the other party's smiling faces, Lin Yi beckoned a few people around him to get up immediately, clenching his fists and arching his hands:

"The disciples of Kanyu Baimen and Luomen have seen Mr. Chen's helm."

The man in the black coat rolled his triangular eyes, and immediately caught a glimpse of the two watches that Lin Yi was wearing on his left and right hands, and instantly understood a little.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's really terrifying, sit and sit, old five, make tea for the guests!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to arrange for them to sit down.

The middle-aged man who led Lin Yi and them in just now went to make tea for Lin Yi and them.

After speaking, he turned around and sat on the Taishi chair.

Lin Yi gave a gesture, and Qian Sheng immediately understood, took out a few gift boxes from his bag, and placed them in front of Chen Duo.

"My husband asked us to visit Mr. Chen's helmsman, and he brought a little courtesy, which is not a respect, please smile."

Chen Yiwu didn't look at the gift at all, but swept over the four of them again, took a cigarette and lit it, cocked Erlang's legs, leaned forward, and looked at them with a smile.

"Believe me, I know the matter. However, a few of you are a little late, and those people in the south have already come to visit the docks yesterday morning.

Don't say much, old five, take the form! ”

Lao Wu came over in response, carrying a teapot in one hand and a red plate of vermilion lacquer in the other, on which was a letterhead full of words.

"That's it, look at it."

The fifth child put the tray on the tea table and began to make tea for a few of them.

Lin Yi picked up the letterhead, and the three big characters on the far right were particularly eye-catching: life and death.

This kind of thing can often be seen in the early years of martial arts, and people who practice martial arts learn martial arts, and their fists and feet have no eyes, which will inevitably hurt people.

So find a middleman and sign the life and death documents in front of him, if there is a party whose skills are not as good as others and die under the fists and feet of others, with this form, you can't find trouble with the other party.

Since everything in this competition between the north and the south is in accordance with the ancient law, then this situation must be signed.

The content in it is also old words, nothing more than that in the process of this operation, all accidents are responsible for themselves.

In today's parlance, it's a liability waiver.

The four of them circulated it and then passed it back to Lin Yi's hands.

Everyone also noticed that there were already four signatures of cinnabar ink at the bottom.

"Feng Zhennan, Zhang Jiren, Guo Changhong, Yang Dingyi"

After the Feng family withdrew from the "Eight Kui", the descendants of their children and grandchildren have returned to the Feng family tree, this Feng Zhennan, if you want to be divided by generation, can be regarded as the "German generation" in the "Dechang Dingtai, Jingyuan Xianghe" of the southern faction.

The Zhang family has always belonged to a special existence, and the name was given according to the genealogy of the "Heavenly Master's Mansion".

The two of the Guo family are even lower than the other.

This is also understandable, after all, the southern faction has spread out more branches, unlike the northern faction, which is about to run out of harvest.

Now that everyone has already signed it, what other concerns can they have?

Of course, Lin Yi and they can't lag behind, they have picked up the pen and fallen into their own name.

Lao Wu held the vermilion lacquer tray and presented the "life and death" in front of Chen Helm.

"Okay, since I am the middleman on both sides of the north and south, and I am doing business in our territory, then our robe brothers, we will never be sloppy, the water has been very tight recently, Lao Wu, you go with a few of them."

"Gotta get it!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he quickly got up and gave his hand:

"Thank you Mr. Chen for making it happen!"

Chen Yiwu smiled and nodded, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, lifted the lid, and blew it gently.

According to the old ceremony, the main family served the tea bowl, which meant to send off the guests, and the big man with strong flower arms also got up, opened the two doors, and made a gesture of please.
