That night, Nancheng was on fire.
The flames soaring into the sky illuminated the entire world, like a huge torch, lighting up the entire town blood red.
But the strange thing is: in the face of such a fire, no one from the surrounding neighbors came to rescue! There were only a few onlookers.
In the town's yamen, the county captain was sweating on his forehead. He looked up at the dazzling firelight outside the window, then quickly lowered his head. On that piece of paper, he wrote something that even he himself did not believe.
"Winter, the first month of the year! Lightning struck the mansion in the south city of Runzhou. In a moment, the fire suddenly burst out, shining in all directions. Although the people around him tried their best to put out the fire, they were still unable to match Zhu Rong's strength. They just cried out in sorrow..."
At this moment, the horse gang leader was also watching the fire like the county captain.
But when he heard an explosion, he gritted his teeth and kicked his son, and when he saw the flames, he couldn't help but slap him!
"Little bastard! Your mother passed away early. I have always felt sorry for you and I don't want to put more restraints on you! But you don't cause trouble in heaven, but you cause trouble on earth! Fortunately, I have a lot of people and don't care about you. If you do, we will The Ma family will be destroyed in your hands this time!"
In front of the caravan leader, the poor dude was also frightened! Kneeling on the ground in a daze, no matter how I beat and scolded him, he did not howl and dodge like before. In his empty mind, there was only fear left!
Nancheng is a taboo for all the dandies in Runzhou! Not to mention provoking, even looking at it is a sin!
But now, even it has been destroyed into ruins by that man! Thinking back to a few days ago, I dared to knock on the door to find trouble. The dandy even wanted to slap myself!
"Okay, brother, stop fighting! He knows he was wrong!"
Ma Laoliu, who was also in the room, couldn't bear to see his nephew being punched and kicked by his eldest brother. He stepped forward and pulled his eldest brother away, while winking at the dude frequently, telling him to retreat quickly.
However, the bruised and swollen dude was just drooping his head and not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't see Uncle Liu's eyes at all.
Fortunately, at this time, the horse gang leader was also angry enough.
Being pushed aside by his sixth brother, he just stomped the ground angrily, gritted his teeth, pointed at his son and yelled angrily: "Get out! Go away to study! Within three years, don't think about going out and fooling around anymore! I'll go give it to you tomorrow. Please sir, if you don’t read to your satisfaction this time, I will break your legs!”
"Ah? Studying? No..." The dejected dandy's eyes widened when he heard that his father actually asked him to study!
Didn’t dad stop forcing himself to study after he got angry with the third husband? Why are you remembering this now?
"Ah what! Go back!" The horse gang leader looked at his son's stunned look, and the anger that had just gone down rushed up again, his eyes widened, and he raised his leg to kick him!
When the dandy saw it, he quickly shut up and ran out of the room in a mess.
"Okay, okay! Let me read! Can't I read it?"
Outside the room, the dude's roar of grief and anger was heard. Ma Laoliu and the leader of the Ma gang looked at each other in confusion, and then sighed in unison.
"Don't worry about that little brat! Come on, sit down! What are you going to do next?" Shaking his head, he asked Ma Laoliu to sit down, and the leader of the caravan asked somewhat lonely.
Ma Laoliu then sighed and said: "I'm almost busy here. I'll go back to Yangzhou tomorrow and send the boy Xiao Hou left behind to the academy! Then I'll just make preparations for the end of the fleet! But that's all. , I think brother you..."
At this point, Ma Laoliu suddenly paused, looked up at the leader of the Ma gang, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Huh? What do you want to say?"
The caravan leader noticed his brother's tangled look and knew that he had something to say to him, so he raised his hand and patted his shoulder and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it! We are brothers. We can break bones and connect tendons, but also Is there anything you can’t say?”
"Okay! Then I'll tell you straight."
Ma Laoliu's eyes flickered, nodded, and lowered his voice to the leader of the Ma gang: "Brother! I think this Runzhou City is about to have a great opportunity! You must seize this opportunity while you are here. , start up the business at home!
Regarding the Water Dragon Society and Tianhai Alliance in the city, we should fight when we should fight, and we should cooperate when we should cooperate! I always feel that if you, eldest brother, can take the lead this time, our Ma family may not be able to join the ranks of big families in the future! At that time, we can also leave a big family fortune to the descendants of our Ma family! "
"Oh? A great opportunity? Are you confused, Sixth Brother? How can we have such a great opportunity in this small and broken town?" After hearing what his brother said, the leader of the Ma Gang smiled disapprovingly.
He has been in Runzhou for many years. Except for the short-lived glory that appeared in the beginning, it has always been like this! It has been getting worse and worse in recent years. Why didn't he see any luck?
"I'm not confused!"
Ma Laoliu smiled mysteriously at his elder brother. His long face, reflected by the firelight rising outside, had a strange aura about it.
"Brother, some things are not as superficial as they appear! Don't think that that person just came to Runzhou to play when he had nothing to do! Don't even think that the destruction of the old house in Nancheng was just because of simple provocation. When it comes to him, it touches his bad luck!
You may not know that there was a big shot in Yangzhou back then. He had studied that person in detail and fought against him! But no matter how well-prepared the big shot is, they will always fail miserably when they meet him in the end.
At that time, the big shot sighed and said: Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance! Every step he takes and everything he does is full of meaning! Even those who are his opponents will unconsciously follow the route he has set and eventually fall into the trap he has prepared long ago.
Therefore, I never hesitate to look at what he does with the most complex thoughts! If this time, he just killed those people with evil intentions in South City, I wouldn't think so! But he just bulldozed Nancheng, which means that he does not allow other forces to get involved here!
So just wait and see! When this fire is over, new forces should soon intervene in the town! And no matter what the name of this force is, he is definitely the one standing behind it! "
"Hiss... no way? He is so young!"
The horse gang leader couldn't help but gasped when he heard that the sixth man said he had a nose and eyes!
Judging from the age of that man, he is about the same age as his own son. Even if he works two days a day, he won't be as scheming as Lao Liu said, right?
When Ma Laoliu saw his elder brother's confused eyes, he knew that he refused to believe it. In fact, he didn't believe it at first, but later, he couldn't tolerate his disbelief!
"Haha, again, don't be deceived by his appearance. If anyone thinks of him as a fool, then who is the real fool!
Brother, you really need to prepare as soon as possible. After his forces move in, they will definitely take away the best part here! But even the remaining ones are enough for us! "
