The autumn wind is lonely and cold. The clouds roared and the wind tightened on the streets of Qicheng, and swords and guns were everywhere in panic.
All the vendors on the street have long since disappeared, and people on both sides of the street are leaning their heads, looking carefully at the situation outside through cracks in doors and walls.
The Southeast Ghost Road Alliance to which Shovel Gate belongs and the Southeast River Gang Alliance to which Linhe Gang belongs continue to send people to reinforce Flag City. In just two days, three to four thousand people gathered outside the chief arrest department. Although there are many people, they are still small gangs after all, and they do not dare to really start a war. They could only surround the chief arrest officer, shouting and cursing outside the door, trying to force Xue Yang to hand over Luofan.
Many simple pavilions were erected on the street early, with tables, chairs, benches, straw mats and quilts inside. When one group of people got tired of scolding, they went aside to rest, drink, and play with money. Another group of people stood in front of the gate and continued to scold.
Flag City was under the jurisdiction of King Wu Huo Yuan, and he should have stepped in to resolve such troubles. But Huo Yuan had just died and wanted everyone to be buried with him, so he naturally didn't want to care about it.
At this time, thousands of police officers near Qicheng and 500 elite swordsmen brought by Ji Cheng from Jianguan were guarding various places in the General Police Department, ready. Zhao Liang, Qin Ming and other old detectives have already flown to various places to ask for help. Although this fight may not be possible, the more people there are, the higher the momentum will be. This is also a common tactic in the world.
Under the locust tree in the backyard of the Chief Catcher, Xue Yang and Ji Cheng were basking in the sun peacefully, making tea and playing chess.
Luo Fan was sitting alone in the hall, carrying a steel knife on his back and a pot of wine. He drank a few pickled radish and a small half package of braised pork head meat, and drank by himself.
He Mingming listened to the shouting outside the courtyard and was filled with worry, fearing that the thousands of people outside would rush in and fight. I thought to myself that I was only in my twenties and had never even touched a woman. It would be unjust to die like this. When I turned around and saw Luo Fan drinking heavily, I felt so angry that I felt so angry that I wanted to snatch the wine bottle from his hand and throw it on his head!
After enduring it for a while, He Mingming finally couldn't help shouting to Luofan: "I said, Luofan! Can you stop drinking? Didn't you hear the scolding outside? The brothers have been worried all day long because of you. You drank happily. You are not afraid that they will rush in and chop you into pieces with one knife at a time."
Luofan ignored him. The more you deal with such a person, the more energetic he becomes. Picking up a piece of pig head meat, it seems to taste more delicious.
Ji Cheng turned back to look at He Mingming and said with a smile: "Hey, Mingming! You just can't compare to your other brothers. Relax, you are just a little kid. The five hundred elites I brought are all top-notch. Master, let alone these three thousand minions, we are not afraid of thirty thousand! People who are gangsters, this kind of scene will be inevitable in the future."
Seeing that Jicheng looked down on him, He Mingming felt dissatisfied. The seven brothers and sisters have been practicing martial arts together since childhood, so why can't they compare to others? However, he did not dare to complain to Ji Cheng.
He could only look at Luo Fan and said angrily: "I'm not afraid. I just can't stand the villain Luo Fan looks like. Everyone is implicated by him, but he looks like it has nothing to do with him, which makes people unhappy!" "
Luo Fan drank a glass of wine, looked up and sighed: "Looking at the floating clouds in troubled times, how can life be true in one day? After a hundred years of wasted life, who worries that the haze will sink the moon!"
Seeing Luofan acting like an expert and reciting poems without shame, He Mingming was even more annoyed: "I think you drank too much, why are you such a bullshit poet! If you have the ability, go and drive away the people outside. I think, You just see so many of us protecting you, so you feel confident."
After listening to Luofan's poem, Xue Yang and Jicheng each stroked their beards and savored it carefully. The two of them smiled slightly, feeling that Luo Fan's poem was a bit arrogant. The poem is full of insight into world affairs and human feelings, and I am as flawless as the bright moon! This is not consistent with his character. I don’t know if he was flattering himself after drinking too much, or if he meant something.
The scolding outside continued and became increasingly unpleasant. Even Jicheng's whole family was scolded. Ji Cheng didn't care, and still sat drinking tea and playing chess with Xue Yang.
The two of them knew it well. According to the current situation, even if Luofan is calm, if he doesn't have the corresponding moves, he may not have a good result. If we can't wait a few days, someone from the Black and White Alliance will definitely come. If they threaten Luofan with the "Yuanmeng Agreement" and demand that Luofan be put on trial, there will be nothing they can do. Therefore, it seems that Luofan is being protected by the Chief Inspector, but in fact he is also being imprisoned.
Xue Yang and Ji Cheng can see this level, and they believe Luo Fan can also think of it. But they still underestimated Luofan's ability. Luofan is a person who is determined to pacify the world. If he can't deal with this little thing, how can he talk about the big things in the future.
After Luo Fan had eaten and drank enough, he lay down on a chair in the hall, tilted his head and fell asleep.
It was a warm afternoon, and two gentle footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
Everyone looked up and saw a young and handsome rich man coming with an ordinary-looking old servant. The young man was only in his early twenties. He was dressed in rich aqua silk clothes, holding an ancient fan decorated with gold, bone and jade, and hanging on his waist was an exquisite pendant. Viewed from a distance, the jade trees are graceful in the wind. Up close, he seems to be full of laughter and nobility, but appears to be lazy and noble.
No one knew the person coming. I was wondering, why did the gatekeeper let a swinger guy in? Ji Cheng and Xue Yang looked up and didn't recognize him either.
The young man walked up to Xue Yang and stood there looking at them. Without any etiquette, he pointed directly at the chessboard and pointed: "Hey! Hey! This black dragon is going to be eaten. Please save it here quickly. Otherwise, this chess piece will be lost."
Ji Cheng followed the young man's fingers and glanced at the chessboard, and it was indeed so. He squinted at Xue Yang unhappily and shouted: "Hey! Hey! You Xue Laosan, you are too thief. You kill my big dragon, you should say something. Just like before, I always think secretly Hate me."
Xue Yang also shouted unhappily: "There is no point in telling the opponent's moves in chess. Then I might as well play by myself. I'm old, so don't be disrespectful. We agreed, one hundred taels per game. , you lost to me in five games!"
Ji Cheng glared: "This is not about money! Playing chess is the same as being a human being. If you do it, you do it openly! If you do it secretly, it doesn't matter. I don't accept it, and this game doesn't count!"
Xue Yang had no choice but to wave his hand and said: "Okay, okay! I won't eat your big dragon, that's it. If I leave the big dragon to you, you won't be able to win! You've never beaten me in a few games in your life!"
Ji Cheng said proudly: "If I can't win, I can't win. If I want to lose, I have to lose with dignity!"
After the two argued, they turned around and looked at the person again.
Xue Yang stroked his beard and asked, "What is this young master doing here? Judging from your appearance, you must not be from Qicheng, right?"
The young man smiled, raised his hands and saluted: "I'm Huangfu Tianrong. I've met you two seniors!"
When Ji Cheng and Xue Yang heard this, Huangfu Tianrong? I thought to myself, could it be that the Huangfu family is the richest in the world?
Xue Yang asked again: "The young master's surname is Huangfu. Could it be that he has some connection with the Huangfu family in the capital?"
Huangfu Tianrong waved the fan in his hand and smiled proudly: "It's funny. He is not talented, he is the second eldest son in the family, and his father is Huangfu Bing, the head of the Huangfu family!"
I heard that it was from the Huangfu family, so the two of them inevitably took a second look and felt that it didn't look like it. The Huangfu family is a merchant family, a wealthy family that has stood firm for three hundred years. The head of the family, Huangfu Bing, is even more extraordinary. It is said that when Huangfu Bing was young, he used to carry a gold sword embedded with jewels when he traveled around the world. He spread wealth wherever he went and blessed merchants. Because of his elegant temperament and uprightness, he was widely praised by people all over the world, so he was nicknamed "Jianfujun".
Huangfu Bing also had a son, Huangfu Shi Lan, who was even more talented and shrewd. His business skills are even better than Huangfu Bing's. At such a young age, he has already accepted most of the family's industry and has become the backbone of Huangfu's family.
Among the "Three Leaders of Dragon City" recognized by Jianghu people, one of the Shang Leaders is Huangfu Shi Lan, who is famous for his business. The second Wu Kui is the most powerful young man in Dragon City. Yu Wenzhao, the iron master, is also the eldest nephew of Xie Xu's master Yu Wenlan. The third one is Wen Kui, who is familiar with the world's articles and is knowledgeable about everything. Wu Jiuzhen, the daughter of Wen Xiang Wu Sanwen.
Huangfu Bing and Huangfu Shi Lan were famous all over the world, but Huangfu Tianrong didn't have much fame. Just looking at this careless and lazy look, Xue Yang could probably guess why.
Xue Yang asked: "Since you are from the Huangfu family, why are you coming to Qicheng? There are many dangers outside. Do you have anything important to do when you come to my chief arrest department at this moment?"
Huangfu Tianrong put away his fan and said with a smile: "I'm looking for my brother! If I don't come to you, where will I go! I wonder, where is my brother?"
Jicheng asked: "Who is your brother? Your brother is not Huangfu Shi Lan, the Shang leader among the three leaders of Dragon City. Why do you still have brothers in Flag City?"
Huangfu Tianrong smiled and said: "Besides that brother, I also have a brother, his name is Luofan!"
Hearing the word "Luofan", all the policemen in the courtyard turned their heads and were all surprised.
Xue Yang thought he heard wrongly, glared and blurted out: "Luo Fan is your brother?"
