Two days later, the four of them came to Shangkouzhuang three miles outside Yangzhou City, which is a private stronghold of the Salt Gang, which has been taken care of by someone, and the land is released to collect rent, which is actually to help the Salt Gang do news transmission, and the goods are transferred. Before leaving, Zeng He Sheng deliberately whispered to Wu Xiao to explain to others that he only said that Hongyu's younger brother was called Xi Wu, and he must not say Wu Xiao's name, Wu Xiao nodded and said that he knew Xiao, and followed a young man who was five big and three rough, and he was naïve.

Shangkouzhuang is very large, the salt gang all live in the peripheral row houses, along the way two walk around to arrive, and at this time the row houses are full of people, the so-called row house is a large chase room, against the wall built a row of chase shops, now it has long been overcrowded, and it is not so particular, which honest young man found a shop by the window for Wu Xiao, this is already a good treatment. There were a few shirtless men in the room who were playing around a table while drinking and playing with money, and the sound of shouting and drinking vibrated so much that the dust on the beams of the room fell down.

Wu Xiao put his small package on the bunk, and sat on the bunk to rest, which honest young man also said goodbye after arranging, and the big man who played money also took two glances at Wu Xiao and then went to play with money, Wu Xiao didn't go over to say hello, just looked out the window and shook the leaves and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother, which one is the hall" Wu Xiao looked back and saw that it was a very lean young man,

"I'm not helping," Wu Xiao said

"Which way are you a friend of the rivers and lakes" The lean young man became more interested

When Wu Xiaozheng didn't know how to answer, the young man said: "My name is Zhang Yun, and I am the rudder of the Yangzhou branch of Houshuitang in the salt gang."

"My name is Ximing, the younger brother of Hongyu," Wu Xiao said

Which young man was still thinking about which red fish, but saw a strong man about thirty years old walking over, he looked at Wu Xiao and said: "You are really the younger brother of the red fish", it seems that although these people are playing with money, they are still paying attention to the movements in the house, Wu Xiao can't help but have some changes to the brothers of the salt gang.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, Uncle Zeng Asheng picked us up and came over to help"

Zhang Yun estimated that he remembered who the red fish was at this time, and looked at Wu Xiao with a look of surprise, and several people in the house also stopped playing money and surrounded him, Wu Xiao was a little unaccustomed, and felt like he was being watched, which strong man looked at it for a while and said: "Like, indeed like, you look like the red fish", listening to the strong man say this, the other people also cheered, which strong man continued: "Brothers, don't worry this time, as long as everyone can not die, no matter how seriously injured, as long as you can climb back, the red fish can pick up your dog's life, This time, I want to sell my strength and do my best with the government", everyone cheered again.

Wu Xiao had to be humble for Hongyu: "Where, where, you should be careful", everyone asked for a while, but Wu Xiao said very little, everyone thought that Wu Xiao was thin-skinned, don't entangle, which strong man finally said: "We are all Houshuitang Yangzhou rudder, little brother if you need anything, just look for us to mention", a few people gathered around to drink and play with money, which Zhang Yun may be because the money was lost, can only follow aside.

Someone brought over the meal in the evening, Wu Xiao also ate with everyone, and they were familiar with each other, everyone could see that Wu Xiao didn't talk much, and he was also a clean person, and he went to sleep after two words of gossip, and after a while, the snoring in the house came and went, and then there was a sour smell, Wu Xiao fell asleep in the middle of the night.

After breakfast the next day, Hongyu sent someone to call Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao went with someone, saw Hongyu in a small pavilion on the edge of the backyard, she was smiling and beckoning to Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao ran over, saw Hongyu he was cheerful for a while, Hongyu looked at him and said: "I didn't sleep last night, it's not more casual than at home."

"I know, I fell asleep later," Wu Xiao said as she looked at her

"Come on, I left some snacks for you to eat, I'm afraid you won't eat well" Hongyu opened a small cloth bag, there were a few delicate snacks in it, Wu Xiao also picked it up and ate it, while he was eating, Hongyu picked up the straw stuck in his hair for him, and then tidied up his clothes.

"Where do you live?" Wu Xiao asked

"I live with the owner's youngest daughter, Ning Ning, and she heard that I have a younger brother who wants to come and see it, so I didn't let her come."

Before Hongyu finished speaking, he heard a cuicui voice from the corner of the corridor not far away, "If you don't let me come, I won't come, Sister Hongyu is too stingy, see what can happen", but saw a girl in a goose yellow shirt walked out, walked to Hongyu and sat down, looking Wu Xiao up and down, Wu Xiao glanced at her while eating snacks, which girl was born very cute, and there was a delicate spirit between her eyebrows.

"Come on, come on, come and sit" Hongyu saw her coming and beckoned her to sit beside her.Ning Ning sat with Hongyu very closely, Wu Xiao just finished eating snacks and ignored her, Ning Ning seemed to feel left out, there are brothers in the family who revolve around her on weekdays, everyone will come to please her, and she has never met someone who ignores her.

"Sister Hongyu, your brother doesn't seem to care about people," Ning Ning looked at Wu Xiao and said

Hongyu couldn't help but say: "He has not liked to talk since he was a child, and it was difficult to say a word a day when he told me at the beginning."

"That's the case, there are such people who don't like to talk" Ning Ning seemed to be mentally balanced when she heard this, and secretly looked at Wu Xiaolai, Wu Xiao raised her head after eating, and just saw Ning Ning looking at herself, the two looked at each other, Ning Ning quickly turned her head and looked away, Hongyu saw this detail in her eyes, and thought about it in her heart.

"You're going to live with her," Wu Xiao asked

"yes, this girl is a haunting girl, she pestered me to tell him stories outside last night, how can I have any stories" Redfish laughed

"Daddy said that you run outside for most of the year, have saved countless people, and are like immortals, can there be no story, I went out of the garden gate, and Daddy told me not to go out into the wild, which is not fair" Ning Ning said angrily

Wu Xiao laughed teasingly, but Hongyu didn't know how to reply to her, and at this time, she heard a voice from the garden gate: "Hongyu is a doctor, can you compare with him, and still talk bad about me behind my back, I spoiled you"

But a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt walked over, Hongyu hurriedly stood up, Wu Xiao and Ning Ning also stood up, "This is called spoiling me" Ning Ning muttered quietly, the middle-aged man pretended to be stern and said: "Dare to talk back", Ning Ning turned his back and didn't speak, Hongyu smiled and said: "Ning Ning is still a child, it's normal to want to go out for a walk, and Master Hu Zhuang doesn't have to be too harsh"

Master Hu Zhuang looked at the red fish and said, "The commander-in-chief, Brother Lei Zhen, asked the red fish girl to go over to discuss the matter."

"Let's go," Redfish said

As soon as the two of them took two steps, Hongyu turned around and beckoned to Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao walked over, and Hongyu said, "Let him go with me, I still have something to explain to him later"

Master Hu Zhuang glanced at Wu Xiao and said, "This is natural", and the three of them left, leaving Ning Ning to stomp and have to go back to the room.

The Qianzhuang Council Hall was only full of people, the commander-in-chief Lei Zhen, the master of the Longhu Hall, and Liang Guangye, the deputy hall master of the Jinshui Hall, sat on the head, and the six seats on each side sat the leader of the team sent by each hall to help, only the first chair on the left was empty, and as soon as the red fish entered, Lei Zhen stood up and said, "Red Fish girl, please sit", and reached out to the empty chair and made a gesture of please

Hongyu excused himself: "Where do I dare to sit in this seat, I'll still stand aside, the brothers of the Salt Gang are too polite."

"You can sit down, don't shirk" Lei Zhen personally led the red fish to sit down, and the red fish had to sit down, Wu Xiao stood behind the red fish.

"Brothers of the Salt Gang, Brother Li Tianshui and Brother Li were detained by the government, and the master of the Ma Gang specially ordered me to be the commander-in-chief of this rescue operation, and I hope that all the brothers will work together to rescue Brother Li" Lei Zhen made an opening remark, and the gangs below echoed him, saying that he obeyed Brother Lei's reprimand.

Lei Zhen said with a solemn expression: "Brothers, obey orders, Brother Li will be beheaded at Nanshikou in five days, we robbed the Dharma field to save people on the same day, Brother Houshuitang sneaked weapons into the city in batches today, and concentrated them in the Ma Ji Grain Store in the back lane of Nanshikou for other brothers to collect, Qianshuitang Qinghe Gang took the brothers of this gang into the city tomorrow to ambush both sides of the market south of Nanshikou, and the brothers of the Qianshuitang White Horse Gang ambushed on both sides of the market north of Nanshikou, the main task of your two gangs is to intercept possible reinforcements, and Longhutang is mainly responsible for the task of robbing the law field, With the cupola cannon as the number, Blue Smoke means that the attack is starting, Red Smoke means that everyone retreats, Black Smoke means that the rescue person was successfully evacuated according to the original route, and after grabbing someone, he will immediately bring it here for the Red Fish Girl to heal, and the injured brother will return here immediately, there is the Red Fish Girl, as long as you can come back, you can't die, do you understand?"

All the leaders in the hall shouted: "Fate"

"The leaders now go to the account room to receive the silver according to the share of two taels of silver per person, and arrange their own expenses in the city for the next few days," Lei Zhen finished speaking, and everyone went to receive their own orders

"Miss Redfish is going to be tired these days," Lei Zhen clenched his fist at Redfish

"Brother Lei is polite, it is my duty to save people and save the wounded, besides, the Salt Gang has done a lot of good things in Jiangnan, this favor should be helped"

"Who is this little brother?"

"He's my brother, he's here to be my helper"

"You two rest first, and I will arrange for someone to assist you in the meantime" Lei Zhen also hugged his fist to Wu Xiao, and after Wu Xiao returned the salute, the two of them walked out of the meeting hall.

Wu Xiaobai was bored, except for a limited number of people he knew, the others were all unfamiliar faces to him, so he found a high platform to sit down, and he could see the whole picture of Yamaguchizhuang here.
