Everything Xiang Shaolong said was just speculation without any evidence. At the moment when he and Sun Sanhu were competing with each other, Lord Long was extremely sensitive and discovered that the steward's kung fu was very strange.
"When I was studying in Wudang Mountain, I once heard my master say that there was a martial arts school in Sichuan and Tibet separated from Lamaism. It was very mysterious and could not be seen by ordinary people. This force has always been known as Protecting education is his own duty, and he easily avoids intervening in private affairs, and the hidden power in this steward's hands is very similar to what my master described..."
"There is another doubtful point. There is a secret legend that has been circulating among the people in the capital. It is said that the royal family has a very powerful martial arts stranger. These people have deep connections with the Red Sect in the capital... But the legend is just a legend. , and there are no martial arts people who have contact with them..."
At this time, Third Master Qing became interested and took over the conversation and said, "There are really no secrets in Sijiu City, especially for us Manchus. It's all gossip 12 hours a day, but what these gossipers say Although things are exaggerated, they basically have a shadow..."
"The Red Sect Dharma Protectors that Long Ye mentioned have actually always existed. During the Kangxi period, these people had already obeyed the royal orders. At that time, the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty forces were very fierce, and these master Dharma protectors from the Red Sect were organized by the royal family. Get up and secretly kill many traitors..."
"However, we have rarely heard rumors about them in recent years. Since the Qianlong period, this group of people has slowly disappeared. On the one hand, the Qing Dynasty has become increasingly stable, and their usefulness has become smaller and smaller. The other thing is probably the power of technology you mentioned, Brother Xiao. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of foreign guns..."
Several people gathered together to discuss a cup of tea, but they didn't discuss anything about Chou Yin Mo. In the end, Xiao Letian's stomach growled, and he saw that the hand of his pocket watch was already pointing to half past eleven. Please come to more and faster chapters.
"Didn't Shopkeeper Niu and the others say they wanted to treat us? Why have they all dispersed? Do you want to invite us or not?" Xiao Letian muttered.
"Are you waiting for a treat? You are making such a scene on the pier. The third master is shaking his fists and everyone has dispersed. Don't expect it anymore... By the way, didn't Jiao Si'er say that he has arranged a reception banquet for you? You should go home and eat for yourself!" Fan Yan waved his hand and sent them out, while he hid in the accounting room and read the account books to relieve his boredom.
The sky is the limit for food. After being bumpy on the sea for several days, Xiao Letian just wants to have a warm meal in peace and then take a bath to relieve his fatigue. As for work, let’s wait until I have enough rest. Please come to more and faster chapters.
It only took a quarter of an hour for the carriage to trot from Tanggu City to the Xiao family mansion outside the city. Before Xiao Letian left Tanggu, the mansion had been under renovation. Now it was finally habitable. He had to come and see it. . What's more, I haven't seen Huniu for a long time, and Xiao Letian still misses her very much.
Xiao Letian, Qing Sanye and his group had just arrived at the gate when they heard the noisy sounds in the house. Several people listened and were so angry that they almost lost their breath.
"Five leaders...six sixty-six...eight horses...if you lose, you will be fined with alcohol...hahaha..."
"Ma Laosan, I just don't agree with you. If you have the guts, I'll change it to a bigger bowl... Just change it. Who's afraid that you won't succeed? Come and do it..."
"Here comes the food... braised ginseng with green onions, my master's special skill..."
There was not even a gatekeeper at the gate. Inside the dark wooden door came the noisy noise of the wine table. The aroma of the food came out through the cracks in the door. A few wild dogs stuck out their tongues greedily and kept circling the gate. whimpering.
"Okay, okay, sir, I haven't gone home yet, and they are enjoying themselves now? It's such a good rule in the mansion..." Xiao Letian walked up the steps with a sullen face and kicked a wild dog away.
The black door was pushed open by Xiao Letian forcefully. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several servants in the concierge huddled together drinking. Judging from the red faces and thick necks of all of them, it was estimated that the banquet must have been held for at least half an hour. .
"Come here, tie these bastards up for me. Whoever is dishonest will be whipped first..." Xiao Letian gave the order, and the bald-headed guards rushed forward in a swarm, and dragged the drunkard away with a clang. out. Update as soon as possible
"Who... who touched grandpa and me... me, me, I, I am a slave of the Xiao family... ugh!" The drunkards were speechless, and one of them vomited when the cold wind blew while holding a pillar.
Xiao Le was going crazy because of the weather. It was so fucking disgusting that these bastards were living in his home. "Whip him, whip him with a whip, and when he sobers up, let him eat all the pickled food he vomited..."
"Fuck you!" Xiao Letian saw that the other drunk cat in front of him was walking crookedly and couldn't even walk straight, so he just kicked it.
At this time, the chef who came from the kitchen finally understood the situation. Comparing it with the way people described it before, he suddenly understood. This must be the master, and the master is back.
"The master is back..." The cooking chef threw away the wooden tray. Instead of kowtow, he turned around and ran back, screaming wildly all the way. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Xiao Leqian covered his eyes with his hands, "There are no rules, there are really no rules. I can conquer a country, but I can't control a family. It's so shameful. I left them all at my grandma's house..."
Third Master Qing was so embarrassed that he quickly touched his hot face with his cold hands, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm so sorry, our family lacks rules..."
The group of people strode inside, only to find that banquets were held in almost every courtyard. The slaves were all eating delicious food and drinking wine to feel refreshed.
Now there are more than a hundred people waiting at the gate of Xiao Letian's mansion. At this time, there are ten tables of banquets placed from the gate to the back garden. Xiao Letian looked at the tables of fresh seafood, the crabs the size of ocean bowls with yellow tops, and the piles of top-quality abalone and sea cucumbers, and his mouth was watering.
"Damn it, I'm still hungry, how dare you open the banquet first? I was crawling around in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and almost lost my life, and you fucking eat better than me? Look, Look, take a look..." Xiao Letian pointed at the dried shrimp skins, crab shells, chicken bones, etc. on the ground, his stomach bulging like a toad with anger.
The bald guards who followed Xiao Letian on the battlefield were so angry that white smoke was coming from their foreheads. They took out hemp ropes one by one, rushed to the wine table and tied up anyone they saw. "Fuck you, grandma, let's throw our heads in front of us and shed blood." , you bastards are enjoying the entertainment and drinking in the back, and you dare to ignore the master and beat you to death..."
This group of guards had all killed people and seen blood. Their attacks were extremely vicious, and the hemp ropes were strangled to death, which made the servants scream in pain.
"Master, please forgive me, we did nothing wrong. Who doesn't want to eat at noon? Even if you don't eat at noon, I can't be unreasonable. You said on the dock that you wouldn't come to eat at noon. It's not okay for you, slave." Do you want some food?"
The bunch of tied up servants were obviously divided into two groups. One group was hired by Xiao Letian earlier, or it could be said that they were recruited by Huniu Fuhui and the others. These people all knelt aside with shame on their faces and said nothing. Dare not say much.
The other group was brought by Jiao Si'er from Beijing, as well as the servants he hired later. This group of people was obviously not convinced, and they were all muttering dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.
"Those who beat him, are you all dead? You dare to be disrespectful to me, and you won't do it..." Xiao Letian snatched the riding crop from Lord Long's hand, rushed up and beat the boy who yelled the most fiercely, all over his face.
This kid, nicknamed Scary Head, was the most rogue among Jiao Si'er's men. When he was beaten, he didn't ask for help but instead pulled his neck and shouted, "Hit me... The master is going to kill someone... Xiao Letian is going to kill us unjustly, run away." !”
I have to admit that this group of servants brought by Jiao Si'er are really a bunch of thugs in Sijiu City. They really don't take Xiao Letian seriously because they have the support of the palace people. Regardless of whether they should kowtow or fight thousands of people, at the critical moment, they can really make trouble.
Scar's voice startled the entire Xiao family mansion, and soon Jiao Si'er rushed out from the backyard. He drank a lot when he saw this guy, and the corners of his mouth were still oily. Update as soon as possible
"What's wrong? What's going on? Why do you make the master so angry...how can a bunch of blind, blind masters make the master so angry?" After speaking, Jiao Si'er said to Xiao Letian with a playful smile.
"Sir, please sit down and have a rest, drink tea... If they have anything wrong with you, tell me, and I will slap them! You are so noble, don't do it yourself, won't that make your hands dirty? You said Yes..." After saying that, he moved the chair and asked Xiao Letian to sit down.
"Damn it, don't do that with me. Jiao Si'er, please tell me clearly what happened today. Who allowed you to have such a big feast? You guys are so showy, even more extravagant than me... "
As soon as Jiao Si'er heard his knees bend, he immediately knelt down and said with aggrieved expression, "Master, please don't be angry. Master, please don't get angry. Isn't this my last resort? I originally prepared some food and wine for you, but I said it was outside." Eat, but you can’t spoil this thing, the slaves can only share it..."
"Mantanggu City, Tianjin Wei and even Sijiu City, who doesn't know that you are the God of Wealth riding a black tiger? Why are you angry with your slaves today just for a small banquet of a few hundred taels? I'm still scolded by you now. , We didn’t do anything wrong, either?”
Xiao Letian looked at his nonchalant look, and the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed. "What did you say? You prepared it for me? Just... just these things, did you prepare it for me? Fuck..." Xiao Letian A head-on kick knocked Jiao Si'er over.
"How many banquet tables are there? Are there ten tables? Even if I am a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha, I can't eat so much food and wine! You eat haise in my name, and waste hundreds of taels of silver in one meal , do you know how many people in Tanggu City don’t even have enough to eat?”
"I figured it out, what are you doing if you need 10,000 yuan a month for household expenses? If you want to ruin things like this, even giving you 100,000 yuan a month is not enough..."
Jiao Si'er was now ready to risk his life. He jumped up from the ground and wiped the blood from under his nose. He said angrily, "Oh! I understand. It turns out that I am reluctant to part with the 10,000 taels of household income? Okay, I Bring the account book here so I can see it with my own eyes..."
"I have good intentions and support you. I hope that you, a lonely guest who has returned from overseas, can integrate into our Qing Dynasty. But in the end, I am still not here..."
Xiao Letian was so angry that he said, "Hey, you still have a point. If you tell me today, I'd like to hear your point..."
