At today's Mingxiangzhai meeting, Sima Rulan did not invite Hua Bushi to come with her, but the person who invited the eldest young master was Yao Yuanxiao, on the grounds that Xiong Tiannan poisoned and murdered the eldest lady, and asked him to come as a witness.

In fact, the main purpose of the inner hall elder of the "Wanjin Hall" to invite Hua Bushi to come was not to testify, but because if Hua Bushi came, he would definitely bring Zhu Hong.

Xiong Bailing not only has the elite combat power of 300 "Great Rebellion Department", but also his own martial arts are also very strong, and he has also recruited many masters, the seventh master of unknown origin is a terrible opponent, Yao Yuanxiao has already fought on the stairs of RT-Mart. Now that Yao Yuanxiao has been injured, Sima Rulan and Chai Lin are not weak in martial arts, but after all, they are alone. Zhu Hong captured Xiong Kui in one move, and if he could pull this young master forward, it would definitely be much stronger.

Regarding Yao Yuanxiao's invitation, Hua Bushi agreed. He had already decided to help Sima Rulan, whether it was because of his friendship with the eldest lady of the city lord, or because of Jihua, who was making money in ocean trade in Okura City for the sake of Oka Tianlou, Hua Bushi couldn't stand by and watch this matter.

Coming to the door of Mingxiangzhai, Hua Bushi carefully observed the situation and determined that there were no hidden masters among the Xiongjiazhuang Zhuang Ding and those drummers outside the door, and the more than 20 business owners were also ordinary businessmen. It seems that Xiong Bailing was reluctant to startle the snake, and did not ambush people nearby, which was the same as he had expected.

This "Hongmen Banquet" set up in Mingxiangzhai seems to be destined to be a contest between ambush and anti-ambush, and it is only a matter of whose resourcefulness is deeper.

Entering the gate, but only to see a view of the Jiangnan garden, everyone walked along the bluestone path, around a few bends, through several rockeries and pavilions, has come to a small lake.

This small lake is "Little West Lake". At this time, it is the early summer season, but I only see the green lotus leaves floating all over the small half of the lake, and there are still a lot of budding lotus flowers waiting to be released, and the water surface between the lotus is also a piece of turquoise color, which is indeed a little bit of the beauty of Hangzhou West Lake.

In the woods by the lake, flash out a pavilion with four eaves rising, and the plaque in front of the pavilion is engraved with three golden seal characters of "Wangxi Building".

Xiong Bailing pointed to the pavilion and said: "In Boss Gu's 'Mingxiangzhai' garden, the view of this 'Wangxi Building' is the best, and the old man has set up a few tables of banquets on this floor, one is to make amends for Lan'er's niece, and the other is to invite some friends to get together, and talk about some things by the way." ”

Sima Rulan said: "But I don't know what Uncle Xiong wants to say?"

Xiong Bailing smiled and said, "Niece Xian doesn't have to worry, Uncle Xiong will talk to you when she gets upstairs." ”

The view from the west upstairs is really good, through the carved window purlin upstairs will look out, the scenery of the entire Xiaoxizi Lake can be seen, and even several streets outside Mingxiangzhai can be seen. The pedestrians on the street are bustling, the road is full of traffic, and the small Xizi Lake in front of you is smooth as a mirror, there is no trace of waves on the water surface, reflecting the clouds and sky, this static movement, forming a sharp contrast. And sitting quietly and watching the movement on the west floor is also very funny.

However, in the eyes of Sima Rulan, Yao Yuanxiao, Hua Bushi and others, what they saw was not a beautiful scenery, but a dangerous situation under the lake and street scenes. Where Xiong Bailing's three hundred "Great Rebellion Division" were ambushed, and how many of the people on the street were the other party's manpower, this was the question they were thinking about at the moment.

No matter how many people were ambushed on both sides outside, there were only four or five waiters on the Wangxi Tower, and after stepping up a few steps, Xiong Bailing's banquet was placed in the hall, with a total of three tables.

At this time, the wine and food had been served, and the three large tables of the Eight Immortals were filled, and the dishes were quite sumptuous.

And all the people came upstairs, and they all chose their own seats.

Xiong Bailing and Sima Rulan were the chief sitting in the center, and Yao Yuanxiao, Deng Ran, Xiong Tiannan, Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu and others also sat at the chief's square table. The mysterious master Seventh Master and more than twenty principals of various businesses sat down in the seats on both sides.

The hired drummers outside the gate also followed the building, and at this time they began to play on the side, which was also very lively, and someone outside the door of the building "crackled" and set off firecrackers, which made a miasma of black smoke.

If you just ask for wine to make amends, there is no need to put on these messy pomp and circumstance, Sima Rulan, Yao Yuanxiao and others are secretly sorry in their hearts, I don't know which play this Xiong Vice Hall lead singer is, and what is the purpose of doing this.

After the firecrackers were set off and the drum music was over, Xiong Bailing stood up and said: "All the relatives and friends here, Xiong has set up this banquet today to invite you to come, one is to apologize to the city lord for the dog Xiong Tiannan. Originally, the play and frolic between the young juniors, we as elders should not care, but Nan'er, this kid, is too talkative, and the trouble is really a bit excessive, so that there was a misunderstanding, and the old man had to come forward to accompany him and ask Lan'er's niece to forgive him. ”

This Xiong Bailing's eloquence is really good, and a few words of understatement pushed the matter of Xiong Tiannan's abduction of Sima Rulan cleanly, and also said that it was "a play and frolic between the younger generations", as if it had really become a small misunderstanding that was not worth mentioning.

As soon as Xiong Bailing finished speaking, among the servants at the tables on both sides, some business owners had already echoed their voices, saying that Xiong Deputy Hall Master did not have to be too serious, and the misunderstanding between the younger generations could be explained by explaining, and there was no need to make amends for the sins with wine.

But he could only hear a "snap", but Yao Yuanxiao couldn't listen to it anymore, stretched out his hand to slap the case, and shouted: "What do you businessmen know, shut up for me!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiong Bailing, and said, "Xiong Bailing, you are right! Xiong Tiannan dared to use incense poison on the eldest lady of the city lord, with bad intentions, it was a great rebellion, how could it be said that it was playing and frolicking? If the father and son do not give an explanation, Yao will not give up!"

Xiong Bailing heard this, and his face sank.

Deng Ran, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth and said: "Elder Yao, you and I are both elders of the 'Wanjin Hall', and we are in important positions, so we should think about the sect, even if the eldest prince Xiong does not do it right, Deputy Hall Master Xiong has already set up wine here today to accompany the crime, you don't make peace for them, but you speak to sow discord, lest the world be chaotic, what is your intention?"

Yao Yuanxiao was even more angry, and shouted: "Deng Ran! Yesterday, the eldest lady was robbed by Xiong Tiannan, and you disappeared, you must be with Xiong Tiannan! In the past, Sima City Lord has always treated you well, but you will take revenge, are you still a person?"

Deng Ran's face also changed, and he got up and shouted: "How can I take revenge, you can make it clear? Yesterday I had another important matter that was not in the City Lord's Mansion, and I didn't know about it at all, so you don't want to spew blood!"

Seeing that the two were arguing, Xiong Bailing also slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Two elders stay together!"

He turned his face and winked, and the Zhuang Ding who was holding the wooden plate had come to the front.

Xiong Bailing stretched out his hand and grabbed the thorn strip on the tray, and said: "The dog is young and ignorant, and he has done something offensive to Lan'er's niece, which is also the fault of the old man's lax discipline.

He said as he held the thorn strip in both hands and handed it to Sima Rulan.

Xiong Bailing's move is very clever. He claimed to make amends, which seemed to be above board, but in front of so many business owners, in front of so many business owners, it was inconvenient for Sima Rulan to make a severe punishment.

And that Xiong Tiannan, the eldest son of Xiong, was rare and clever at this time, and he had probably been instructed a long time ago, and he also followed his father Xiong Bailing, standing in front of Sima Rulan with his head down, and put on a willing face to accept punishment.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone say: "You Xiong family people are really interesting, just now they slapped the table and stared at their eyes, and now they are pretending to say that they want to make amends, such a fierce bully, how dare Sister Lan'er punish you?"

This was said quite lightly, and everyone at the banquet originally looked at Sima Rulan to see how she responded, but at this time, all eyes turned to the person who spoke, but they saw that this person was a beautiful young woman, who was Hai Hongzhu.

Deng Ran's eyes lit up, and he said: "Deputy Hall Master Xiong confessed to the eldest lady of the city lord, it is a matter within the door of our 'Wanjin Hall', and it has nothing to do with outsiders, who are you, why are you talking nonsense here?"

Although Hai Hongzhu's martial arts are not high, the kung fu on her lips is not ambiguous, and she said: "Although I am not a person from the 'Wanjintang', I am the sister of Lan'er's sister, and my sister's business is my sister's business, you bully Lan'er's sister, I can't ignore my sister, am I right, Lan'er?"

The words of "sister and sister" were spoken very quickly, and Hai Hongzhu's voice was crisp, and she spoke it like a cannon, like a tongue twister, only Deng Ran's eyes were straight and speechless, and Sima Rulan was pulled by her arm hard, so she had to nod.

Hai Hongzhu seemed to have received an arrow, and said to Deng Ran: "Have you seen it, Sister Lan'er has already nodded and agreed, today in this Mingxiang Zhai, I will be the sole authority of my sister to make the decision for her!"

Xiong Bailing said: "I don't know what this lady is called, who is the honorable husband?"

Hai Hongzhu said: "My name is Hai Hongzhu, and he is my husband." She said and pointed with her finger to Hua Bushi, who was sitting at the table.

For Hua Bushi, Xiong Bailing already knew him, and said immediately: "It turned out to be Mrs. Hua." But I don't know how you want to punish our father and son for Lan'er's niece?"

The so-called "guilt of petitioning" is just a gesture, Xiong Bailing believes that whether it is Sima Rulan or Hai Hongzhu, under such circumstances, it is impossible to seriously punish him.
