Chapter 22: Shut the Door!
Huang Feihong saw that Ma Peiyuan didn't say anything, so he continued to ask Ah Wu Ah Liu: "Tonight, was it your Hesha Gang who set fire to our Baozhilin?" ”
Ah Wu Ah Liu knelt and kowtowed, and said again and again:
"Master Huang! We were wrong! ”
"We're just at the behest of the river boss!"
Huang Feihong frowned and shouted: "I have signed an agreement with the English Governor Wiggens today, and Wiggens signed and stamped it himself, promising me to compensate for the losses of the merchants, dissolve your Hesha Gang, and no longer seek land outside the concession, why do you Hesha Gang dare to come and burn my Baozhilin?" ”
Ah Wu kowtowed and said: "Master Huang, the English did inform us of the disbandment of the Hesha Gang, but our River Boss can't swallow this breath, he wants to do a big thing to raise his worth before defecting to the new master, and the big thing that can be done in Fushan is nothing more than ...... Against you. ”
"New master?" Huang Feihong asked, "Who is the new master of the Hesha Gang?" ”
Ah Wu shook his head with a difficult face, "This ...... We don't know, we just know that it's still foreigners. ”
Ma Peiyuan sighed slightly with his nostrils, and his temples hurt even more.
Ah Liu's eyebrows moved, "By the way, it's a foreigner with a mountain of gold!" I've seen Boss River drink tea with a foreigner who sells gold mountains before! As for the rest, I really don't know. ”
Huang Feihong knew that the status of these two guys in the Hesha Gang was not high, and he couldn't ask any useful words, so he turned his head and arched his hand to Ma Peiyuan, who was sitting crookedly on the Taishi chair, and said:
"Lord Ma, the truth of the matter is already very clear, it was the British foreigners who wanted to annex the land outside the concession, so they gathered the Hesha Gang, a group of outlaws, to disturb the trouble, the traders are innocent, and it is the English foreigners and the Hesha Gang who should be punished!"
As if he hadn't heard, Ma Peiyuan straightened his official hat with both hands, stood up and said, "Since Master Huang has caught the arsonist, then the official will take the arsonist back to the court for interrogation." ”
Lin Shirong, who was standing outside the circle, couldn't help but shout: "The truth of the matter couldn't be clearer, and I still have a bird!" ”
"Shut up!" Huang Feihong shouted angrily: "It's up to me to call the shots here, and it's not your turn to speak!" ”
Lin Shirong obediently closed his mouth.
Ma Peiyuan said with a numb face: "Please also ask Master Huang to hand over those vendors to me, so that I can bring them back to testify together." ”
Huang Feihong frowned and said: "Master Ma, now that the English foreigners have signed the agreement, and Ah Wu and Ah Liu have also admitted it, why are you still holding on to the innocent traders?" ”
Ma Peiyuan said with a cold face: "Who is innocent, who is not innocent, it is not your Master Huang who has the final say, nor is it me Ma Peiyuan who has the final say, but the people above have the final say." ”
He saw that Huang Feihong pursed his lips and was silent, so he leaned forward half a step, lowered his voice and said: "Master Huang, I, Ma Peiyuan, am capable enough to go from the fifth-rank official rank, so naturally I am not a fool, but this matter involves foreigners, and you also know that what the court is most afraid of now is to make Lord Yang unhappy." ”
"Your deeds of bravely entering the concession today to force Wiggens to sign the agreement, I, Ma Peiyuan, as a Tang person, gave you a thumbs up 10,000 times in my heart, but as an official, I hate you now. If Wiggens makes a big fuss about your attack on him and blames him, I, Ma Peiyuan, will lose my hat. ”
Huang Feihong clenched his fists, glared at Ma Peiyuan angrily and said, "Master Ma, I thought that being an official was to be the master of the people. ”
"That's because you're not an official." Ma Peiyuan took half a step back, covered his mouth and nose with a brocade again, and said angrily: "Someone!" Take all the criminals away! ”
More than a dozen soldiers armed with torches brutally arrested people, not only the traders who had been recuperating from their injuries in Baozhilin before, but also the militia brothers who came to put out the fire.
"This court is already rotten." Huang Feihong sighed in disappointment, immediately clenched his fists, and shouted in a deep voice: "Asu, Afeng!" Close the door! ”
"Yes!" Xu Feng was the first to react, and the crane form method was activated, passing through the soldiers who were arresting people, and together with Asu, closed the door of Bao Zhilin.
Ma Peiyuan was taken aback, "Master Huang, what are you doing here?" ”
"Shirong! Do it! Huang Feihong shouted.
Lin Shirong couldn't believe his ears at all, "Master? Can I really get my hands dirty? ”
"Do it!" Huang Feihong grabbed a bamboo pole, and with one move "measuring the sky" and one move "dismounting stick", he directly swept down all the soldiers who took down the long-handled firearms.
These two moves are the moves in the "Wulang Bagua Stick", which are extremely fierce, where can those soldiers who are lazy on weekdays stand it?
Lin Shirong saw that the master had done it, so he was not polite.
With one move of "the old monk carrying the burden" and the next move of "soft bridge inner arms", he snapped twice, and flew the two soldiers who rushed towards him to the pillar of the courtyard.
The thirteenth aunt, who was hiding behind the pillar, immediately screamed, "Shirong! Look at it! ”
Lin Shirong hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry Aunt Thirteen, I'm so excited!" ”
As he spoke, he knocked two more soldiers into the air.
"Once Upon a Time! You, you are going to rebel! Ma Peiyuan covered his official hat and took out a short-handled firearm tremblingly.
Xu Feng had been staring at Ma Peiyuan's movements for a long time, and when Ma Peiyuan was about to pull out his firearm, Xu Feng quickly cut behind Ma Peiyuan with a crane-shaped body.
Ma Peiyuan just raised the short-handled firearm to aim, and Xu Feng made a "tiger tail kick", which kicked Ma Peiyuan's wrist, and the short-handled firearm fell to the ground.
As soon as Ma Peiyuan turned around, Xu Feng made another move of "crane beak and elbow", and hit Ma Peiyuan's heart hard.
This senior official from the fifth grade took three steps backwards with a painful face, and he didn't know where to throw the Jinpa in his hand, and the official hat on his head was crooked to the side.
Ma Peiyuan straightened his official hat in embarrassment, and roared angrily: "It's the opposite, you dare to beat the court officials!" My firearms? What about my firearms? ”
Xu Feng picked up the short-handled firearm and said with a sneer: "Dog officer, are you talking about this thing?" ”
Ma Peiyuan's face turned pale with fright, "Hurry up...... Give it back. ”
Xu Feng snorted coldly, pinned the short-handled firearm to his waist, and put on a classic "swallow water" posture, "Idle is idle, just use you, a dog officer, to practice your hands." ”
This Ma Peiyuan can be the president of the palace, and his original strength will naturally not be too bad, but after becoming an official, he has neglected to practice hard, and he is wearing an official uniform and an official hat, which is extremely unsuitable for hand-to-hand combat.
Xu Feng was unceremonious, one move "Zuo Crane Top Hand" to rush forward, followed by a move "Two Tigers Hiding Traces"!
Ma Peiyuan flashed the first move in embarrassment, but he didn't want the first move to be completely a false move to advance the body method, and the second move seemed to be a false move to transfer the body method, which was the real tiger's move.
Ma Peiyuan couldn't dodge, and his right shoulder was grabbed twice by Xu Feng's tiger claw, almost dislocated.
This is still a lack of strength of Xu Feng, if Xu Feng's strength is enough, let alone dislocation, the entire arm can be torn off.
