Shen Kuang had already met with the owners of the big jewelers Jigu Zhai and Dafang Zhai, but Song Tingzhi was nowhere to be seen, and what was even more strange was that even Li Kuanren could not find out the whereabouts of his owner. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And He Chong and Qingluan, who were in Ningbo, did not send back the news, but it was still expected by Chang Wei, but Okita's previous supply should have been almost eaten, and if the new supply still had to be provided by Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there should be action within ten days.

"It seems that I have to go to Ningbo first. ”

Chang Wei sighed lightly, as for whether he would startle the grass and scare the snake after attacking Okita in Ningbo, so that Song Tingzhi would escape, he didn't care so much.

I used all the resources in my hand, but I still didn't find any news about Song Tingzhi, but the content of Yan Lingyun's letter was really beyond Chang Wei's expectations.

"Wang Chen is Chaotianque?!"

Xue Qian, who was familiar with Wang Chen, was surprised, this unremarkable boat boss was actually the undisputed first person in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, no matter who it was, it was hard to believe it for a while.

The fledgling was famous for the sword defeat of the Changkong Gang's master, the peerless uncle of the Changkong City, and then more than ten battles of the size, the opponents were all first-class masters of the rivers and lakes, and they did not taste a defeat, 30 years ago, they were the leader of the Changle Gang who was in the middle of the day with six swords, Xiao Yuhan, bowed his head and called his ministers, and then killed more than 30 first-class masters of the Japanese people with one person and one sword in the Gengzi Dynasty War, becoming a veritable number one in the world, and no one has been able to beat the brilliant record so far.

Now, the invincible iron sword in his hand has turned into a horse whip and a rocking oar, and after meeting Chang Wei at the first martial arts conference, he once again pretended to be Wang Chen and sailed with the ocean fleet to go to America.

"It's really hateful that such a big thing, the guys of the Big Dipper Jiuzi didn't reveal a single word to me!"

No, Lao Gao and He Chong, the two old boys, must also know, but everyone tacitly understands it, it should be Chao Tianque's request, so they keep their identities secret, but why is Lao Chao staying by his side but not leaking a word at all!

However, it was obvious that Chao Tianque was towards himself, and even nine apprentices were sent.

It is also because although Chaotianque's martial arts are high, they have no significant impact on the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and as for Yan Lingyun and others, it is also based on the same reason, so there is no need to scruple.

"Woo, you've all seen him, but I'm the only one who hasn't seen him!"

Knowing that Chaotianque was still a member of the Seven Seas Alliance, Yu Piaoling's face was full of regret, so she pulled Xue Qian and Tang Shuxue to ask questions, Yan Ruyu on the side was amused by her anxious appearance, and quipped: "Fortunately, he is a bad old man, otherwise, wouldn't Xianggong be jealous?"

"Bad old man?!" Yu Piaoling was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and a tall one jumped up and shouted, "I don't know if the master can beat this bad old man!"

"Really?" Tang Shuxue's curiosity was also aroused.

Chang Wei nodded: "According to the martial arts of Lao Hu and Lao Liu, Chaotianque's martial arts are at least one percent higher than mine, and within a hundred moves, I will definitely be defeated." However, if I use a special move, I can fight and lose. ”

"Hehe, he's my senior brother, now, he's still a member of the Seven Seas Alliance, the possibility of our cooperation is far greater than confrontation, and I don't have a chance to fight him, so whether his martial arts are high or not, for me, it's no different. If you really care, take a look at this sentence. Chang Wei pointed to Yan Lingyun's letter and said.

“...... As for Qingluan, I saw it more than ten years ago, and it was still drooping, but I have never met it again. ”

Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment, but said: "Since there is no conclusion for a while, and let it go, there will always be a day when things will come to light." Fang just received news from He Chong that Xiaoxiang Pavilion had started purchasing daily necessities such as salt and rice in bulk in advance. ”

After receiving Chang Wei's information, Fu Zhouzi rushed to Jinshanwei with more than 1,400 soldiers and horses and heavy baggage of the anti-Japanese camp in accordance with the pre-agreed plan, where they would transfer to the warships of the Daming Navy, of course, except for Chang Wei and Fu Zhouzi, no one knew where the ultimate goal of the anti-Japanese camp was.

Chang Wei, Yan Ruyu, and Yu Piaoling rushed to Ningbo with more than 20 soldiers, and arrived at their destination in only two days and two nights.

"Lao He, have you made a fortune?"

Looking at the old man in front of him who was wearing a gold chain with the thickness of a little finger around his neck, ten fingers full of gold rings, and even his clothes were trimmed with gold, and he was covered in copper stench, but he looked like a familiar old man, Chang Wei was really stunned for a while before he was sure that he was the He Chong he was looking for, and Yu Piaoling behind him was already laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and even Yan Ruyu, who had no humor cells, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, brother, where am I getting rich, it's clearly a broken fortune!"

He Chong snorted angrily and said: "You and I are willing to dress up like this ghost! But if Lao Tzu had worn the same outfit as before, Xiaoxiang Pavilion would have blasted me out a long time ago, and I would have investigated a fart!"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Chang Wei's eyes suddenly shone with golden light: "This, and this, how much money did it cost me, no matter what you say, I will go back to Xue Yatou to report the account!"

"Hey, in this way, have you been angry in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?" Chang Wei couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"You kid......" He Chong just wanted to scold, but he didn't know what he remembered, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he sat back on the couch for a long time, drank himself, and muttered in his mouth: "Hehe, no matter how angry the old man is, he is also an uncle who calls slaves and drinks maids in Xiaoxiang Pavilion......"

Chang Wei was stunned, turned around inside and outside the house, and sure enough, there was no shadow of Qingluan, and his eyes rolled: "Lao He, where did Qingluan go, is it in Xiaoxiang Pavilion?...... She's already become the red girl of Xiaoxiang Pavilion?! Lao He, you, you shouldn't sell people to brothels, right? What? This is her own idea? Hold grass!"

The expression on my face was extremely exciting, "Hold the grass, Qingluan, a fairy-like person, is going to be a prostitute?!"

"Anyway, I'm happier than me, a landlord and a rich man. He Chong grinned and said: "Qingluan girl, she learns the way of selling her art and not selling her body. Besides, with her martial arts that can be on the dragon list and does not belong to Tang Jinyi, what kind of heart do you have?!"

"Ha~ If you can decide everything with high martial arts, the rivers and lakes will be peaceful long ago! Xiaoxiang Pavilion already has a ghost in mind, and suddenly there is an artist with both talents and unknown origins, it is strange that it is not suspicious! Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, what means does the brothel use to deal with those disobedient women, you don't know it, Lao He, right?!"

Since the Ming Dynasty set up the city in Ningbo, Ningbo has been an important city in the south of the Yangtze River, and Ningbo is also an important port for shipping, since Changwei and Francophile operated Liuheng Island, Ningbo's commerce and shipping are more prosperous, especially after the purchase of a large number of ocean-going fleets last summer, it is to make Ningbo's transaction volume reach its peak, therefore, the business of Xiaoxiang Pavilion is naturally very prosperous.

"Listen to the piano, the three sons are early. Seeing that Chang Wei and the three of them were dressed brightly, the turtle slave did not dare to slack off, beckoned him into a private room and sat down, and saw that Yan and Yu were looking at Chang Wei's horse, so they turned to him and said with a smile: "Childe is the first time to come back to our hall, right?"

"You're sharp-eyed. Yu Piaoling casually stuffed more than one or two pieces of silver.

The turtle slave became more and more enthusiastic: "Most of the people who want to listen to Miss Lu play the piano in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion have to wait for half an hour before they come, because Miss Lu can only come over at three o'clock." ”

He looked around, lowered his voice and said: "She is in the Spring Breeze Courtyard right now, and the guests who can't wait have all gone there to listen to the piano, but then again, although this song is good, there is no girl around, and it sounds very boring." The girls of Chunfeng Courtyard, hehe, it's not boasting, and they can't catch up with our Xiaoxiang Pavilion by beating horses! Or, let's find a few girls for the sons first, how about we listen to Miss Lu play the piano while having fun?"

"The girl doesn't want it, just find two singers. ”

After asking a few words casually, I learned that Qingluan incarnated as Lu Xin to perform arts, and she was not in Xiaoxiang Pavilion at the beginning, even if Zhou Furong, the owner of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, repeatedly invited her, Qingluan did not completely leave the Chunfeng Courtyard that initially accepted her, but most of the time the golden time at night was performed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Sister Qingluan is really clever!"

That's why He Chong covered it up well for her. ”

Without He Chong getting a guide to prove her identity, such a long-term performance would have been a mess. Thinking of Lu Yin, I realized that I forgot to ask He Chong, whether Mr. Guan of Ningbo Mansion can be trusted at the moment.

Good wine and good food were delivered like a stream, and the three of them rushed for two days in a row, and they were feasting at the moment, as for those scenes, they were originally for show, and they babbled and sang something, and none of the three of them cared.

"You're Boss Zhou?" suddenly a hoarse voice came from next door.

"Hey, that's a familiar sound. Yu Piaoling was stunned, stopped thinking for a while, and hesitated: "It seems to be that Hu Yifei from the Eagle Claw Gang?"

"It's him!" Chang Wei nodded approvingly, Hu Yifei, Zimmer and others under the Eagle Claw Gang had their vocal cords destroyed, and the voices of several people sounded similar, it was really not easy for Yu Piaoling to tell who it was, but Hu Yifei should not have been sent to the Shen family in Songjiang by Long Jianyun, how could he appear here?

"It's Zhou Furong below, what do the two uncles command?"

Being able to keep calm in front of Hu Yifei, it seems that although Zhou Furong is a ruffian, he should not be underestimated, otherwise Song Tingzhi would not rest assured that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion would be handed over to him for management, and He Chong would not have spent so much time here.

"Don't worry, let's talk about it next, Suzhou Flower Club, you Xiaoxiang Pavilion went to the girl......"

Before Hu Yifei's words were finished, Zhou Furong was already pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that you have always been Xiao Taohong's benefactor, and I can be regarded as finding you! After Xiao Taohong came back, she didn't think about tea, and she didn't want to accept anything, she only said that when you came to redeem yourself, I finally waited for you, you came to redeem her, I will call you......"

But I heard another person chatter and laugh: "Fourth, I didn't expect you to be a fucking amorous seed!" seemed to be the voice of Laihu'er.

"That girl is called Yinzihuang, and it's all to blame the sixth child, but it's just a broken chick, a few dozen taels of silver is enough, he is generous, and the shot is two hundred taels, hum. ”

Although the words were harsh, the tone was a little proud: "However, then again, that girl is very smart, with such a person to serve, my kennel may still have the appearance of home." Well, her name is Xiao Taohong, right, Boss Zhou, how much money is her redemption money?"

Hearing Zhou Furong say that it was eight hundred taels, Chang Wei knew that if Hu Lai and the others had the intention to make trouble, the opportunity had come. Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, someone over there had already slammed the table, and the sound of the clinking of dishes and chopsticks could even be heard in the room.

I heard Hu Yifei scolding: "You make fun of Lao Tzu, eight hundred taels? Do you know how much the four petty officials of Suzhou Fenglaiyi sell for buying officials? Two thousand taels! You are made of gold, two hundred taels, Lao Tzu has no more! Too little? The price has been reduced, one hundred taels!"

"Boy, eat the courage of a leopard, dare to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to spread wild!"

Quarreling together, there were two people rushed into the next door from the corridor, just shouted, they were kicked out, and then broke into a few nursing homes, listening to the movement was also beaten by Hu Lai and the two to cry dad and call mother, but Zhou Furong retained the dignity of the shopkeeper, endured the pain and said: "I don't know Taishan with eyes below, you let go of my nursing home, we have something to discuss." ”

The next door was quiet, but the singers in this room were too scared to sing anymore, Hu Yifei shouted, saying what should you do next door, and the singers sang timidly.

Although the voice of the next door was lowered, Chang Wei's six senses were extremely keen, and they could still hear the conversation over there clearly.

"Lao Tzu is a reasonable person. Hu Yifei said in a hoarse voice: "I spent four hundred taels on Xiao Taohong before and after, you only make money and don't lose money, in exchange for Lao Tzu's previous temper, you fucking abduct and sell my concubine, and you have to pay me four hundred taels." Okay, Boss Zhou, don't be afraid, I didn't call you here for Xiao Taohong, it was just an episode, I heard that you have a red girl named Lu Xin here? ”

There is something weird! Chang Wei and the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise.

Over there, Zhou Furong had already smiled bitterly: "Miss Lu is not a person with a nickname, she is just making a cameo here, and she has no right to call her, besides, many rich masters have wanted to order her these days, but they have all been refused, and people are selling their art but not their bodies." ”

"You're playing us, it's not your Xiaoxiang Pavilion, can you let her perform here?!" said Laihu'er angrily.

"No one is registered!" Zhou Furong explained carefully.

Hu Yifei also said: "Third brother, you don't go around the kiln much, this kind of thing is common, and the few people who sing songs next door are probably not from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xiaoxiang Pavilion doesn't need to raise them, but they can do it." ”

"You're such a connoisseur. ”

Hu Yifei ignored Zhou Furong's compliment, let him tell him the origin of this Lu Xin, and then said in a good time: "Since it is not your person, it is not difficult for me to do it for you, two paths, Boss Zhou, you can choose one, either from tomorrow, you don't allow Lu Xin to perform in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, or, you find an opportunity to put this into her meal tonight, I don't care about the future, otherwise...... Hehe, Boss Zhou is an understanding person, I don't need to say more!"

Yu Piaoling was so angry that her eyebrows were raised, and her hand immediately touched the handle of the knife, but she was pressed back to her seat by Chang Wei, if Zhou Furong was blackmailed so easily, Xiaoxiang Pavilion would probably have closed long ago.

Sure enough, I heard someone sneer: "Boy, I'm just a rough man, I can't understand your words, you tell me, Boss Zhou doesn't listen to you, what are you going to do with him?"

"Mr. Guan, you're finally here! These two lynx beasts have actually hit me!" Zhou Furong suddenly became angry.

Chang Wei smiled, no wonder He Chong dressed up like that, it turned out that Guan Wei had become Zhou Furong's umbrella, and in just a few months, he was pulled into the water, and Zhou Furong really had some ability.

But if you think about it, He Chong was not co-opted by his own corrosion, but his vision has his own high and low, and in comparison, Chang Wei has a great future.

"Heh, you're going to use the government to oppress people, Boss Zhou, you're really not the Zhou Furong who was begging for a life in starling!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Yifei was completely unafraid, not only ridiculed Zhou Furong, but even his tone towards Guan Wei was not so respectful: "Mr. Guan, brother is not breaking the law!"

"Wrap a fan, right, I clearly heard that you intended to be a woman from a good family, isn't it, Boss Zhou?"

Zhou Furong said yes vigorously, and Hu Yifei here had already sneered: "It's really Wang Ba who wears a hat on his head, and he planted it on Lao Tzu's head! Guan Wei, for the sake of your size being a fast catcher, hurry up and get out of me now, I have the right to pretend that I haven't seen you, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Hey, Lao Tzu is really not scared!" Guan Wei laughed angrily: "I'm going to see a long time today." ”

After speaking, he rushed to the corridor and shouted: "Mr. Du, these two guests in the house have been handed over to you, they are so polite, let's invite them to the mansion as guests!"

"Understood!"

The footsteps that came from the voice were both light and fast, obviously this Mr. Du was a practitioner, and sure enough, he vaguely heard a gust of sword wind passing by, that is, the sound of 'dang', and the two weapons intersected together.

"Surnamed Du, could it be that you are the Sifang Dao Du Zhendu Sifang on Zhedong Road?" Hu Yifei's breath was not chaotic at all, he had the upper hand with one knife, and sneered: "Guan Wei, relying on his number to take our brother, it's far behind!"

Guan Wei didn't seem to expect these two people to be so stab, so he was a little flustered: "Bold maniac, dare to resist arrest, want to rebel?!"

At this time, I heard Du Zhen shouting: "Ah, I know, you are eagle ......"

"Shut up!" Hu Yifei interrupted Du Zhen's words sharply: "Who is our brother, it's not your turn to speak!" seemed to push Du Zhen's palm, Du Zhen snorted and staggered out of the door.

Guan Wei wanted to leave, but was stopped, so he heard Hu Yifei say in a low voice: "You come to see this!"

Guan Wei exclaimed: "This is not ......" and seemed to realize something, and immediately changed his words: "Why didn't you say it earlier, it almost washed the Dragon King Temple in a big flood!"

"It's worthy of being the chief arrest of a government, and it's really alert, my brother's surname is Hu, and this is my brother. ”

Huh? Chang Wei suddenly became curious, what did Hu Yifei show Guan Wei, and Guan Wei's attitude actually took a 180-degree turn? Listening to the meaning of Guan Wei's words, that thing should have something to do with the government.

With a wave of his hand to let the singers go down, Chang Wei cautiously approached the wooden wall, borrowed Yu Piaoling's streamer sword, and quietly poked a gap.
