The East Lake Gang came uninvited, which made the peaceful atmosphere in Pan's Mansion suddenly become extremely dignified.

The guests in the hall are either holding their breath, hiding their faces, or hesitating, suspicious, and even more timid and afraid of things have already stammered, swallowing and crying.

Li Laohu has done absolutely bad things, and he is notorious, and everyone in Yingchuan has changed color. He stood in the middle of the hall, and without saying much, it was enough to make the guests feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.

For Li Laohu and the East Lake Gang, Pan Chuba is actually not afraid. Once a man has lived to his age, there is nothing in the world that can frighten him. It's just that because of his current identity and the Pan family's business in Yingchuan, Pan Chuba had to give three points to him.

Sending a memorial service on the day of the great birthday is not only bad luck, but also a great insult. Pan Chuba can endure it, but his children and grandchildren can't bear it.

"Daoxi?" Pan Wen glared angrily at Li Laohu, and said in a deep voice, "You are waiting for one by one to wear linen and filial piety, such as mourning and taking a test, is this also considered Daoxi?"

"Who the hell are you?"

He Hu, as the chief dart head of the Longwei Dart Bureau, has walked the rivers and lakes for many years and has seen bandits and bullies from all walks of life. Today, he could see at a glance that Li Laohu was by no means good at stubble, and it was not something that an elegant person like Pan Wen could deal with. Since he is the son-in-law of the Pan family, he naturally can't sit idly by.

Although He Hu and Pan Feng have been married for many years, the number of times they have visited his mother's house is only a handful, so he knows very little about the Donghu Gang in Yingchuan, let alone Li Laohu's identity.

Li Laohu's face was pale, and his gloomy hatred could not drip water. He stared at He Hu coldly, looked up and down with an unkind gaze, and asked rhetorically, "Raw face, haven't I seen you before?"

"This is Pan's sister-in-law, the head of the Jiazhou Longwei Dart Bureau, He Hu. Pan Wen replied.

Hearing this, Li Laohu frowned slightly, and said meaningfully: "The head of the Longwei Dart Bureau...... It sounds like a lot of money, but it's a pity that Jiazhou is too far away from Yingchuan. You can't control anything here. ”

"Who are you?" He Hu sneered, "What a big breath, and I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I speak!"

"The leader of the East Lake Gang, Li Laohu. ”

"Donghu Gang?" He Hu scoffed at this and said contemptuously, "A group of rabble people dare to call themselves gangs?" He Hu said faintly: "Look at your posture today, it is not like a birthday greeting, like a mourning! You are a tiger, and it happens that I am also a tiger, have you ever heard a saying? It is called 'one mountain does not allow two tigers'? You and I are two tigers, and now we are under the same roof, don't you think it is a little crowded? Today, my father-in-law has a big birthday, I don't want to say anything superfluous, so those who know each other will immediately take your subordinates and these messy things, and let me go!"

He Hu's domineering spirit is honed in years of darts, and he must have courage, means, and connections to do a dart game, so in front of a ruffian bully like Li Laohu, He Hu is not only fearless, but also full of confidence.

In the face of He Hu's eviction order, the corners of Li Laohu's mouth twitched slightly. He stared at He Hu with cold eyes, and said word by word: "What a 'one mountain does not allow two tigers,' it is painful to say! It's just that you must not forget, what kind of mountain is this mountain in front of you? What kind of tiger is I? I don't know when I get out of Yingchuan, but in the Yingchuan realm, don't say that you are a tiger, even if there is another dragon, you have to lie down and coil it obediently! If Mr. He feels that this place is crowded, he can find a cool place to breathe. Where's the door? I don't think I need to point it to you, do I?"

"You ......"

"Don't be angry!" Without waiting for He Hu to refute it, Pan Chuba preemptively spoke, "Let Gang Master Li finish his words first, the old man really wants to see how Gang Master Li plans to give me good news." ”

Although Longwei Dart Bureau has some power, it is far away in Jiazhou after all. Although the East Lake Gang is a rabble, it occupies the right time and place, and there are many people, which is enough to call for wind and rain. The truth that the whip is beyond the reach of He Hu still understands it somewhat.

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Li Laohu waved his hand without looking back, and the eight disciples of the East Lake Gang actually cooperated to carry a large coffin into the hall.

"Eighth Master Pan, today I am here to congratulate you on your birthday, and secondly, to congratulate you. Li Laohu glanced at He Hu coldly, and then said to Pan Chuba.

"When the old man celebrates his birthday, Gang Leader Li will carry a coffin to say good news to me?" Pan Chuba replied quietly, "Forgive the old man for being stupid and not understanding what Gang Leader Li meant. ”

Li Laohu did not answer directly, but changed the conversation and said loudly: "Everyone here is just a witness. From today onwards, the Panhuai boat merchants no longer have to pay a penny to the East Lake Gang, and the East Lake Gang will not accept any annual tribute or a share of money. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was secretly surprised.

As we all know, the main income of the East Lake Gang is the annual tribute of the major businesses in Yingchuan. As the richest man in Yingchuan, Pan Huai's annual tribute is the top priority. Now Li Laohu is going to throw away this piece of fat in vain, who can believe it?

"Will there be such a good thing in the world?" Pan Chuba smiled faintly, and there was no trace of turbulence in his tone.

"That's why I just said that today I'm here to congratulate you on the Pan family. Li Laohu looked around expressionlessly, and said coldly: "You all listen to me!" From today on, the East Lake Gang will officially join the Pan Huai Boat Merchant, and for all profits and losses, the East Lake Gang and the Pan family are all ...... Five-five sharing. ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Only Ding Cui's eyes suddenly showed a hint of pride, but she hid it very well, and the smile was fleeting, and no one noticed it.

Although Pan Chuba knew that Li Laohu was not good, he never expected him to make such a shameless request, his face suddenly sank, and he asked: "Pan Huai's ship merchant is the old man's hard work for decades, and if Li Gang Master says a word casually, he will take half of it. ”

"Too much deception?" Li Laohu looked at Pan Chuba with gloomy eyes, then pointed to the coffin beside him, and said coldly, "It's better for Pan Baye to take a look at the contents of the coffin first, and then it's not too late to make a conclusion." ”

Pan Chuba's eyebrows furrowed, and he thought to himself: "What does Li Laohu mean by this? Could it be that the coffin is full of gold and silver treasures, and he wants to buy me?" Thinking of this, he smiled coldly, shook his head and said: "No matter how much money Gang Leader Li plans to pay, it is impossible for the old man to give Pan Huai the shipmonger to you......"

"Bang!"

"Ahh

Before Pan Chuba's words fell, Li Laohu suddenly lifted the lid of the coffin. In an instant, a strong smell of blood escaped, overflowing the hall, making people sick again and again. As everyone looked into the coffin, another screamed with fear.

It's just that there is a bloodstained and scarred corpse lying upright in the coffin, which is Li Bao, who died tragically in the west alley of the city last night.

"Eighth Master Pan, do you think my request is too much now?" Li Laohu seemed to be extremely angry in the face of Li Bao's corpse, and as soon as he spoke, his facial features were already distorted.

"Gang Leader Li, what does this mean?" Pan Chu Baqiang couldn't help but be angry, and asked rhetorically, "The old man in the coffin doesn't know the old man, what are you carrying him for?"

"You don't know, but someone here knows!" Li Laohu's hateful gaze slowly scanned the hall, and finally landed on Liu Xunyi, Lin Fangda, and Luo Ningyu, and said angrily, "Isn't the life of my righteous brother worth half of your Pan family's family business?"

The more Pan Chuba listened, the more confused he became, he looked at Liu Xunyi and the three of them with a suspicious expression, and was stunned for a moment. Then he pondered for a moment, and asked Li Laohu again: "Forgive the old man for being stupid, what does your righteous brother have to do with my Pan family?"

"See for yourself!" Li Laohu threw a bloodstained ticket to the ground and asked, "Can Eighth Master Pan recognize what this is?"

Pan Chuba was unmoved, and Pan Wen on the side saw this and took the initiative to pick up the ticket with great interest. After watching for a moment, Pan Wen couldn't help but take a sharp breath. He had recognized the origin of the ticket, which was the one Luo Ningyu used to pick up the goods at the ferry the day before.

Pan Wen hurriedly took the ticket to Pan Chuba, and said in a low voice: "Dad, this is the ticket for our dock......"

"So what?" Pan Chuba said angrily, "I, Pan Huai, the shipowner, opened the door to do business, and I sent out more than 100 tickets every day, how do I know who this ticket is......"

"It's Miss Luo's. Without waiting for Pan Chuba to finish speaking, Pan Wen stepped forward with an embarrassed face and quickly explained, "It's the white jade Guanyin that the lord of Luofu gave to his father." ”

Pan Chuba was shocked, he hurriedly grabbed the ticket, carefully identified it, and then looked at Luo Ningyu and the three of them, his eyes were full of doubts.

"I believe you know who this ticket is. Li Laohu gritted his teeth and said, "It appeared next to my brother's body last night, as for the rest of it...... Do you need to say more?"

"What do you mean?" exclaimed Pan Wen, "you want to frame us for killing your brother?"

"Fake it, shit!" Li Laohu finally couldn't help but scold, "This cargo ticket can only appear in two places from beginning to end, one is your Pan Huai ship merchant, and the other is the guest who owns this cargo ticket." Tell me, did the guest who owned it kill my brother, or did your Pan Huai shipmer's man kill my brother?"

"This ......"

was scolded by Li Laohu's head and face, and Pan Wen couldn't help but be speechless for a while. Li Laohu had something to say, and he decided that the murderer of Li Bao was either one or the other, whether it was Pan Huai shipbuilder or Luo Ningyu, Pan Wen could not ignore it. It's better to say nothing than to say anything wrong.

"To assert on the basis of just one ticket is too arbitrary. Pan Chuba defended in the most peaceful tone possible, "There are still many possibilities for this matter......

"No possibility!" Li Laohu waved his hand and snorted angrily without question, "I only give you two ways for the Pan family now, or divide the Pan Huai ship merchant in half, so as to make up for the pain of losing my brother." Either hand over the murderer and let it be disposed of by my Donghu Gang, and Lao Tzu will let him fight with his life. ”

Pan Wen said urgently: "But we don't know who the murderer is......"

Li Laohu's eyes moved, Liu San immediately understood, hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Xunyi and the others, and shouted: "Helper, it's them, the day before yesterday they were the ones who made trouble on the dock, and they held the second master hostage in public." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed again.

"Li Bao has been in Yingchuan for many years, and it is not a day or two to help me do things. Why didn't he have an accident sooner or later, but he was killed after a dispute with them?" Li Laohu looked at Liu Xunyi and the three of them, and said in an unkind tone, "Pan Baye, the three of them should be very important to the Pan family, right? Otherwise, Pan Wen would never have taken out a thousand taels of silver to relieve them the siege the day before yesterday." Now that my brother has died tragically, I will not trouble your Pan family, and I will not destroy your Pan family, but will give you two ways to choose, isn't it a favor to your Pan family? Isn't it a happy event? So I came to say hello to you today, shouldn't I?"

"There must be some misunderstanding in this, the three of them have been in my house yesterday......"

"I don't care if there's a misunderstanding. Li Laohu waved his hand without saying anything, without giving Pan Chuba the slightest chance to explain, and said bluntly, "In short, Li Bao can't die in vain, you must give me and my brothers an explanation for this matter today! Do you want money or people?
