[Yi Tian] It's not easy to be famous and decent

Chapter 27

The Quanzhou sub-rudder of the Haisha Gang has indeed become history. As soon as Zhang Songxi and other talents came ashore, they saw a skyrocketing fire not far from the west of the pier, where the Quanzhou sub-rudder of the Haisha Gang was located.Yi Tianhai and his wife were in a hurry to go back to check on Feng Mozhi, but they didn't stop him. It was obvious that the overall situation was settled and they no longer worried that Yi Tianhai and his wife would become uncertain.At this time, even Mo Shenggu, who was straightforward and careless, understood, and said with a sneer: "From now on, the Feng family will be the only leader in Quanzhou. Congratulations, Mr. Feng!"

Hearing this, Feng Mozhi showed an aggrieved and helpless expression, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Everyone is tired, Song...Senior Brother Song is hurt even more, my father has already arranged a guest room and found a doctor. Tomorrow, I will I will personally plead guilty to the Fourth and Seventh Master Uncles, and explain everything clearly."

"If that's the case, it's time to work!" Before the impulsive Mo Shenggu spoke again, Zhang Songxi spoke first.Since the Feng family was able to pick the sub-helm of the Haisha gang overnight, it means that the dozen or so of them are by no means opponents due to their large number of people.

Even Zhang Songxi, who has always been gentle and silent without showing any emotion or anger, said such sarcastic and polite words, and Feng Mo's face became more mournful.Mo Shenggu has a distinct personality. In the past, if he saw Feng Mozhi, who was always aggressive and aggressive, he would think that he had something to hide, but today everyone was in danger at sea, and it was all because the Feng family made the praying mantis catch the cicada and the oriole as a later plan. From then on, thinking that Feng Mozhi had always had trouble with Song Qingshu and Song Qingshu was seriously injured at this time, I felt that Feng Mozhi's behavior could be called hypocrisy.He gently supported Song Qingshu who had fallen asleep on his back, and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu looked serious and Song Qingshu was unconscious again. Seeing the strange atmosphere between them and Feng Mo, the disciples of Wudang were all ignorant and panicked. They didn't dare to say anything and just followed the two master uncles obediently. Return to Feng's house and follow orders to wash and rest early.

On the second day, Feng Wenfan invited Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu to the hall respectfully, and told the whole story of the whole incident without any concealment.

"The Haisha Gang used to be the backbone of the merchants in Quanzhou. Most of the officials under the imperial government were greedy for money and fearful of trouble. Only the Haisha Gang can keep our merchants safe. The Yellow River has flooded and the government has been corrupted. Zhang Shicheng of the Haisha Gang has always been ambitious. They want to dominate the world, so the exploitation of merchants such as us is increasing day by day!"

"It's my generation's responsibility to drive out the Tartars and restore our Han clothes!" Feng Wenfan's explanation had just begun, but Mo Shenggu suddenly stood up and raised his voice to retort, "Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Gangzhu have such ambitions, and Mo admires him! "

Feng Wenfan seemed to have expected such a reaction from Mo Shenggu, so he just shook his head and smiled wryly: "Mongols are the first class and Hans are the fourth class. Since Feng is a Han, why doesn't he want to restore the clothes of the Han? It's just that there are more than a hundred people in the Feng family. The mouth must survive."

"You want the horse to run and keep the horse from eating grass. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Mo Shenggu was unmoved, and only mocked him with a sneer.

"If Yi Tianhai and Yi Daxia are still the masters in Quanzhou, so what if we just break the family and help?" Feng Wenfan said sharply, "It's just Cheng Laosan?" He laughed contemptuously, "It's really a moth !Since the Quanzhou sub-helm has been decided by him, the profit that the Haisha Gang wants to share has been increasing day by day, until today it is [-]% huge! Zhang Sixia and Mo Qixia think that any business is like your tea. Double the profit? We and other merchants are already struggling to maintain the situation, and Cheng Laosan still threatens and blackmails him from time to time. This person is so stupid and greedy, how can he survive? Zhang Sixia and Mo Qixia know that yesterday we will His head was hung on the city wall, and all the people in the city rejoiced, and no one lamented for him!"

Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu didn't know what to say about Feng Wenfan's words. They had known for some time in Quanzhou that Cheng Laosan's actions deserved death.

"We were originally trying to make money from merchants. If we were not forced to do so, we wouldn't want to fight with people in Jianghu. Get rid of the influence of the Haisha Gang in Quanzhou, Feng and the other merchants have been plotting for two years, and only in the Day and night, it is not intentional to plot against Wudang."

"It's just that my Wudang faction happened to meet at the right time. Mr. Feng went along with the flow and led the way. Now that I want to come to Wudang to do business in Quanzhou, although I haven't hidden my whereabouts, I haven't made a big show of it. The reason why Cheng Laosan got the news so quickly is all thanks to Mr. Feng's tip-off." The so-called death of man for money and death of bird for food, Mr. Feng originally thought that 10% of the commission was enough to provoke the fight between Wudang and Haisha Gang, but he never thought that this matter would be resolved by Yi Tianhai Yi Daxia. In other words, the [-] taels of silver that Wudang gave to the Haisha Gang was originally entrusted to Mr. Feng, and it should still be in Mr. Feng's pocket. Cheng Laosan will not quit Wudang without getting a penny, even if he wants to swallow his anger , Mr. Feng must be sure to stir up his anger. Cheng Laosan knows that he is not Wudang's opponent and took away most of the masters. Mr. Feng waited for the opportunity to capture the Quanzhou sub-helm last night. I am afraid that it will be bloodless! From now on, Quanzhou Mr. Feng is the only one who will follow the lead, Mr. Feng will make a decision, and Zhang will say congratulations first!" Zhang Songxi has a humble personality, but at this time he couldn't suppress his cold anger.

"Putting the Wudang faction into the game is a last resort. Cheng Laosan and his cronies are highly skilled in martial arts. Most of the so-called masters we have found in the Jianghu are not worthy of their names. If it were not for the Wudang knights, the battle last night must have suffered heavy casualties The Wudang faction is willing to give up their face for the sake of 10 disaster victims. It is benevolence and justice, and the battle last night is also benevolence and righteousness!" Feng Wenfan looked sincere and waved his hands to order the servants at home to move out two wooden boxes, which contained exactly what was supposed to be handed over to Mr. Cheng. Three of 10 taels of silver. "Last night, Mr. Feng informed Master Yi of all the inside information. Mr. Yi knew that Wudang had nothing to do with this matter, and ordered Mr. Feng to return the [-] taels of silver to Wudang to help the victims."

As soon as Feng Wenfan's words came out, Mo Shenggu was almost not offended by him.It's just that now that the overall situation has been decided, and Feng Wenfan's being so humble makes it difficult for him to attack him. He only secretly reminds himself that this person is scheming, scheming, kind-hearted, and cruel, and he must never be friends with him.However, Zhang Songxi calmed down completely after seeing Feng Wenfan took out the 10 taels of silver. Feng Wenfan could have embezzled the 10 taels but he didn't.The 10 taels of silver is not so much Yi Tianhai returning Wudang to help the victims, but Feng Wenfan's apology to Wudang. "I don't know where Yi Daxia and his wife are now?"

"Daxia Yi and his wife should still manage the situation separately. We will come to Feng's mansion to meet the two knights in the afternoon. I wait for the merchant to respect Yi Daxia and his wife for a long time and we will not dare to do harm. You can rest assured about this matter."

Zhang Songxi sighed and said: "It is urgent to help the victims. Please ask Mr. Feng to help arrange a cargo ship for us. The necessary expenses will be paid out of the 10 taels!" The Wudang disciples he came from worked as coolies at the pier, but at this time he didn't bother to arrange the needs of the cargo ship.

"The loss of Wudang was all caused by Feng. This matter will be fully borne by Feng, so you don't need to worry about it!" Feng Wenfan said hurriedly.

Rao Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu are world-class in martial arts, but they are unable to be polite to this Mr. Feng who smiles like a Maitreya Buddha, they just cupped their hands and got up and left.As soon as the two returned to the backyard, they saw Feng Mozhi kneeling upright outside their wing.Seeing the two of them appear, Feng Mozhi's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head again, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Fourth, Uncle Seven, Moqian come to apologize!"

"Don't dare!" Mo Shenggu snorted coldly, Zhang Songxi stopped him before he finished speaking.Mo Shenggu knew that it would be more appropriate for Zhang Songxi to handle this matter than him, so he stopped talking and just stood aside.Zhang Songxi waved his hand to disperse a group of Wudang disciples who were onlookers, ordered Feng Mozhi to get up and follow them back to the room, and then said: "Fourth Master Uncle has a few questions here, you answer me honestly."

"Yes!" Feng Mozhi still looked downcast.

"Your father and the Haisha gang will fight for power in Quanzhou sooner or later. Do you know this?"

"know."

"Your father intends to use Wudang to provoke a fight between Wudang and the Haisha Gang, do you know about this?"

"...Dad asked me in private when I invited the two uncles to the banquet..." Feng Mozhi was silent for a long time before muttering the first half of the sentence, then suddenly raised his head and said the second part loudly, "I objected at that time!"

"Did you know about Wudang's distress at sea last night?"

"Daddy never revealed anything to me!" Feng Mozhi said firmly.

"Never had any doubts?" Zhang Songxi asked sharply.

Feng Mozhi stared at Zhang Songxi in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time.

Zhang Songxi sighed, and said weakly: "Feng Mozhi, you left the teacher yesterday."

"No! Fourth Martial Uncle!" Feng Mozhi understood Zhang Songxi's implication, the Wudang sect would not expel him because of his schemes against the sect, but they would not recognize him as a disciple again.But this was by no means an acceptable result for Feng Mozhi, his eyes were flushed and he suddenly choked up. "I don't want to leave Wudang! I have been obsessed with martial arts all my life, and I don't want to do business!... Dad said that the Feng family and the Haisha gang are endless, and the two uncles and brothers of the Wudang sect are all martial arts masters." , Cheng Laosan must not be an opponent!...Tuer, Tuer...he is my biological father after all!"

Zhang Songxi turned his back and stopped looking at him, but slowly raised his hand and waved it slowly.

In the afternoon, Yi Tianhai and his wife really came to visit as scheduled, but they hadn't seen them all night. Both of them were much haggard, but their spirits were still better than Song Qingshu who was still ill.Meeting friends is not as tense as confronting Feng Wenfan, and the atmosphere is much more harmonious.Yi Tianhai picked up the tea bowl in front of him and drank most of it, before he said bitterly: "Last night Feng Wenfan led people to surround the sub-rudder but he didn't kill them all, he just said that if the brothers in the gang are willing to surrender to him, they will not be blamed..."

"Big brother, why should he be commensurate with their brothers? They are not worthy!" Mrs. Yi, whose makeup was half-faded and haggard, said angrily.Those gang members were greedy for life and afraid of death, and under Feng Wenfan's instruction, they divided the silver hidden in the sub-rudder and set fire to the sub-rudder. They really disgraced the Haisha Gang!

Yi Tianhai glanced at his wife bitterly, did not discuss with her, but turned to Zhang Songxi and the other three to briefly explain what happened last night, and finally sighed: "Now my Haisha Gang's power in Quanzhou has been completely damaged. No matter how difficult it is to restore the old view, I am afraid that we will completely withdraw from Quanzhou. This Feng Wenfan is brave and resourceful, I really underestimated him!"

Zhang Songxi nodded with concern, and analyzed to Song Qingshu: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit. There are countless gang members in the Haisha Gang, but most of them are just half of the rivers and lakes. The members of the gang are only there for shelter. If these gang members had no other choice, they would never live and die with the Haisha gang. Feng Wenfan ordered them to split the money and set fire to the Quanzhou merchants. They will not be able to return to Haisha in the future. The gang can only follow the orders of Quanzhou merchants to get food and clothing."

Song Qingshu said clearly: "Regardless of the rivers and lakes and temples, those who are really willing to live and die with them are either for profit or for morality. That's why there is a saying that the king is captured first, and the dragons without a leader are bound to be scattered. However, those who are driven by interests , will eventually be rebellious because of greater interests, and only because of morality and righteousness can we know where the way is, even though thousands of people will go to it... No wonder loyal ministers and righteous men have always been yearned for since ancient times, it is really commendable."

"We martial arts practitioners, what we want to do is this rare thing!" Mo Shenggu said loudly.

"Although the word 'profit' cannot be missing in the world, we can't do things for people, but we can't always use it for the name of profit. Otherwise, this life would be too boring!" Zhang Songxi followed with a smile, "After all, morality and interests should be How to handle it, Qingshu, you should be careful and introspect at that time!"

Song Qingshu was terrified, and immediately got up and saluted Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu: "Qingshu thanked the fourth and seventh uncles for their teachings, and they will never forget each other forever!" Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu's words were simple, but Song Qingshu in the previous life was exactly the one who destroyed them. Because of the two words of fame and fortune, now I hear the teaching again, and I feel even more vigilant.

Yi Tianhai and his wife watched from the sidelines and knew that what Mo Shenggu said was teaching his nephew, while what Zhang Songxi said was teaching the future head of Wudang.It's just that there are so many things going on in the Haisha gang now, Yi Tianhai just distracted himself and continued to say: "After the affairs in Quanzhou are cleaned up, I will go to Suzhou with my wife to meet with the gang leader Zhang, and I will go to Wudang with you all." I am afraid that the injury will be delayed for some time."

"It should be so!" Zhang Songxi and Mo Shenggu said at the same time, they are both benevolent and righteous people who naturally agree with Yi Tianhai's approach.It was Song Qingshu who pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is there any danger for Yi Daxia to travel?"

"Qing Shu, why did you say that? Could it be Feng Wenfan..." Mo Shenggu asked hastily.

Song Qingshu shook his head, looked into Yi Tianhai's eyes and said word by word: "Would Chief Zhang of your clan trust what Yi Daxia said, this matter has nothing to do with Yi Daxia and the Wudang faction, it's Cheng Laosan's own fault?"

"Brother is loyal to the Haisha Gang, does he even have doubts about this?" Mrs. Yi changed her face when she heard the words, and immediately raised her voice in dissatisfaction.

Song Qingshu ignored Mrs. Yi and only looked at Yi Tianhai and continued: "Cheng Laosan was originally appointed by the leader of your clan to take over the position of Yi Daxia's helmsman. Will he be willing to admit that he doesn't know people well?"

Yi Tianhai still didn't answer, but Mrs. Yi suddenly calmed down, and slowly sat back to her seat, turned her head and looked at her husband at a loss, and shouted softly: "Brother..." Zhang Shicheng she knew was self-willed, arrogant Narrow, very face-saving, will never admit that he is wrong.

"It's better for Daxia Yi to write a letter and send someone to Suzhou. The meeting with Chief Zhang can be arranged after he recovers from his injury. It will be more convenient on the way. With all due respect, Daxia Yi's legs will be cured as soon as possible. Martial arts can also restore one more point." Song Qingshu said softly.

Wudang is in harmony, Mo Shenggu still doesn't understand what Song Qingshu said, but Zhang Songxi has a delicate mind, but although he likes Song Qingshu's insight into the world, he understands that Yi Tianhai will never agree with what Song Qingshu said.Yi Tianhai is loyal to the Haisha Gang and will never force the Haisha Gang to protect himself in any way.Sure enough, Yi Tianhai just smiled slightly and said loudly, clinging to his wife's hand: "A man of honor is worthy of the world, Song Shaoxia don't have to worry!"

Song Qingshu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he stopped talking, and only said jokingly: "Daxia Yi, take care of yourself during this trip, at least I'm thinking that my seventh uncle is still looking forward to Wudang every day!"

"How courageous! How dare you make fun of Master?" Mo Shenggu pretended to be angry and raised his hand to hit him.

Several people in the room laughed at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.Mrs. Yi always thought that Song Qingshu, the young head of Wudang, was brought up too well, and she was afraid of some pretentious appearances, but after getting along with her these days, she found that she used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman. up.Although Song Qingshu was thoughtful and elusive, he was indeed a well-known man with courage, strategy, affection and righteousness.Seeing that even though he is ill, he is still handsome and radiant, he can't help sighing to himself, wondering how many children in the world will be affected when he grows up?At that time, she didn't know that a few years later, a noble man like Song Qingshu who seemed to be raised in the soft world of mortals no longer met the aesthetic requirements, and the heroines of the rivers and lakes were more interested in Zhang Wuji's face mask that can withstand falls. Honest demon leader.

Two days later, Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu, and Song Qingshu sent Yi Tianhai and his wife away at the pier. When they parted, Yi Tianhai finally told Zhang Songxi from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Zhang, Wudang's relief of the [-] disaster victims is probably just the beginning. Let's stay together for another day so we can meet again, this Feng Wenfan should still be able to use him in the future."

As a member of the Haisha Gang, Feng Wenfan ruined the foundation of the Haisha Gang in Quanzhou, but Yi Tianhai can still stand calmly on the sidelines and sincerely think about Wudang. Zhang Songxi has to admire such a high moral integrity, and immediately cupped his hands and said: " Thank you, Brother Yi, for your reminder, Zhang will keep it in mind! I and my seventh brother are waiting for the Xian couple in Wudang to have a drink and talk, Brother Yi, don’t miss the appointment!"

Yi Tianhai and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and said loudly: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, there will be a period later!"

"There will be a time later!" Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu, Song Qingshu said at the same time.

The few people who were bidding farewell by the riverside laughed loudly at the same time, and the laughter resounded back and forth between the mountains and rivers, gradually faded away, and finally disappeared in the rolling river.
