Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life
Chapter 19 The gangster eats the gangster
Seeing that the Wu brothers were drunk, Hong Guan drank the wine in his glass. When he stood up, he felt dizzy. Pan Jinlian came in at the right time and said, "Sister-in-law, where are the rooms of the eldest and second brothers Wu? I'll help them go in and rest."
Pan Jinlian came over and she and Hong Guan helped Wu Song up on both sides and went into the side room. Hong Guan then carried Wu Dalang to the main room, said goodbye to Pan Jinlian and left.
Nothing happened that night. The next afternoon, Hong Guan came out of the forest hut, stretched his body, and came to the place of transaction.
As soon as he arrived at the place, he felt something was wrong. It was too quiet around him, without even the chirping of insects or birds. Hong Guan thought of the plot in the novel and wondered if someone was ambushing here!
When he reached the middle of the woods, he saw Ximen Qing and his servants, as well as two carts with some large boxes on them. When he saw him coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Boss Hong, we've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally here, but you came alone. Where are our goods?"
"Master Ximen, don't be anxious. Let me take a look at the herbs first. Once I confirm that there are no problems with the herbs, the goods will be ready naturally!"
Ximen Qing waved his hand and said, "Feel free to check. I, Ximen Qing, have been doing business for so long, so I still have credibility."
Hong Guan went over, opened the box and took a look. There were three hundred-year-old ginsengs. If he were to go to the modern world in the future, he could just sell one and have a good life. The other medicinal materials were no problem either. They were all well processed and of a certain age.
"Master Ximen is very open-minded. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and get the goods!"
After saying this, he walked out of the woods and came behind a mound. He took out the prepared cart, took out the salt and sugar obtained from the big ship, put them on the cart, and pulled it into the woods with great effort.
"Sir, the goods are all here. You can check them out. If you can get medicinal materials of this quality again in the future, the goods will definitely satisfy you."
Ximen Qing walked forward himself, checked them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Since the goods are fine, I'll take my leave first!" When Hong Guan walked to the cart where the herbs were stored, Ximen Qing suddenly turned around and said, "Wait!"
A bad premonition came over him again, but Hong Guan maintained his smile and said, "What's the matter, sir? Is there anything else?"
"Boss Hong, selling illegal salt is a serious crime. Where did this salt come from?"
"Sir, you are going too far. I told you that I bought the salt and processed it myself!"
Ximen Qing smiled evilly, "Boss Hong, I don't really care about this, but the source of your salt is unknown, which is a violation of the law. The county magistrate doesn't agree!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people dressed in constable uniforms suddenly jumped out from the ground around him, holding steel knives. What surprised Hong Guan the most was that Wu Song was among them.
These people obviously came prepared, otherwise they wouldn't have dug holes on the ground and hid in them. It seems like they want the goods but don't want to give the herbs!
At this time, a middle-aged man in official uniform, accompanied by a legal advisor, slowly walked into the woods.
Wu Song hurriedly went up to him and said, "Sir, this brother Hong Guan is a friend of mine. We must have made a mistake. He is not the kind of person who knowingly breaks the law and sells illegal salt!"
The county magistrate did not even hesitate. "Wu Dutou, are you trying to protect the criminal? Salt and iron have always been businesses that can only be done with government authorization. This man is obviously selling private salt!"
Wu Song looked at Hong Guan, then turned back to the county magistrate and saluted, "Sir, can't you really let my friend go?"
"Let him go, sure. As long as he explains clearly and writes down how he makes and sells salt, I will ask the prefect to let him go!"
Hong Guan finally understood what was going on. Ximen Qing and the county magistrate were quite powerful. Not only did they not want to give over the medicinal herbs, they also wanted their own method of making salt. It was estimated that after they were sent to prison, they would also have to hand over the method of making sugar.
Wu Song bowed slightly and said, "Sir, can't you really let my friend go?"
"I have already given him the way. It is up to him whether he wants to go or not!"
Wu Song turned around, nodded to Hong Guan, and suddenly drew his sword, but did not rush forward. Instead, he turned around and killed the county magistrate and the legal advisor, leaving Hong Guan a little confused.
However, he reacted quickly. Two M1911s appeared in his hands. He attacked the knife-wielding constable and shouted, "Second Brother Wu, help me deal with Ximen Qing. We can't let him get away!"
Wu Song responded, took a few steps forward, came in front of Ximen Qing, waved his sword to stop him, and the two fought back and forth for a while.
Hong Guan emptied the magazines of the two guns, picked up the constable's knife on the ground, and used the Baji sword technique from Bajiquan to chop the constables, making them cry for their parents and all of them fell to the ground injured.
At this moment, Wu Song also used the mandarin duck kick to kick Ximen Qing to the ground and put the knife on his neck.
Hong Guan ignored the people howling on the ground and came to Ximen Qing. "Master Ximen, why are you doing this? We were doing business properly, but you not only don't want to give me the herbs, but you also want to arrest me and make salt for me. What happened to the credit we promised?"
Ximen Qing covered his chest, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he endured the pain and forced a smile, "Boss Hong, it's my fault. Please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again. I can compensate you. My family is rich!"
"Oh? How much?"
Ximen Qing thought that Hong Guan was interested, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Any amount is fine. Take my token and go to the storehouse. Take as much as you can. It will be my apology!"
"Where's the token?"
Ximen Qing reached into his belt and took out a copper token with the word "Ximen" on it. It looked quite decent.
Hong Guan took the token and said thank you. Ximen Qing thought he was saved and just smiled, but Hong Guan spoke again, "If you want to live, come and stab Ximen Qing and the county magistrate, and stay in the woods for a day.
When you go back tomorrow, tell them that Ximen Qing and the county magistrate had a fight over the spoils, and you were seriously injured, and Ximen Qing's men were killed. The county magistrate, the legal advisor, and the head of the Wudu were all killed by Ximen Qing. Is that a problem?"
Just as Ximen Qing was about to resist, Wu Song slashed his neck. The detectives endured the pain, got up, and stabbed Ximen Qing and the county magistrate with knives, enjoying themselves.
Hong Guan and Wu Song came out of the forest. "Wu Er Ge, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would be in great danger."
Wu Song smiled cheerfully, "We are all brothers, why should we be polite? I heard that the county magistrate and Ximen Qing were in cahoots with each other, but I didn't expect it to be true. They even wanted to kill my brother. It's really a dream.
But your firearms are really powerful. I guess they can’t do anything to you even without me!”
"Brother Wu, we can't stay in Qinghe County any longer. Why don't we go to the sea? I know an island where people make a living by fishing and hunting. They live in harmony with the world.
You can take Brother Wu and sister-in-law with you. What do you think? Then you can build your own stronghold and become a mountain king!"
"Okay, let's do as you say, brother!"
"Well, Second Brother Wu, you go first, take First Brother Wu and his wife and walk south along the main road. I'll go to the woods to sort out some things, and then go to Ximen's house to get some money. The journey is long, so this will be just enough for the trip."
"No problem, I'll go first, brother, you catch up as soon as possible!"
Hong Guan clasped his fists, and Wu Song strode away. Back in the woods, the detectives had turned Ximen Qing and the county magistrate into a hornet's nest, and they were unrecognizable. What a great injustice they had suffered!
Hong Guan took turns pulling the carts loaded with medicinal herbs and salt and sugar outside and putting them into his storage ring. Finally, he used the bomber's skills to charge the bodies of Ximen Qing and the county magistrate, turning them into bombs, and dragged his tired body away.
After walking about fifty meters, he detonated the bodies of the two people. Looking back, he could still see the blood mist rising from the forest. He felt like a necromancer. Isn't this the corpse explosion technique!
He took out a big pork elbow and ate it while walking back. When he arrived in Qinghe County, he was already a little full and his strength had been restored a lot.
He went to Ximen Qing's mansion, showed the token, and said that Ximen Qing asked him to withdraw money.
A servant led Hong Guan to the warehouse. When he saw the things inside, he was completely shocked. What the hell? What's going on? Is Ximen Qing so rich?
There were more than a dozen large boxes filled with silver, and two boxes filled with gold, and countless copper coins, which were packed in sacks and placed randomly.
There are also some golden nanmu and small-leaf red sandalwood shelves, on which many books and antiques are placed. There are even Tang Sancai. However, the books are covered with dust, and it seems that they are not often read.
He put the big box and the copper coin bag into the inventory and stacked them up, put the shelves and antique books into the storage ring, and then walked out of the warehouse and left Ximen's house. This trip was definitely fruitful.
She came to the street, bought a batch of fast horses, and chased towards the southern road. In less than twenty minutes, she saw the Wu brothers driving a carriage. Pan Jinlian did not see them, so she must be in the carriage.
He rode up to them and called out, "Big Brother Wu, Second Brother Wu!"
"Haha, brother, you're pretty quick! How about it, is the Ximen family very rich? My eldest brother said that his family is one of the richest families in Qinghe County, and even the county magistrate may not be as rich as his family!"
"Don't worry, Brother Wu, the bag on my back and on both sides of the horse are full of money, enough for us to reach the island I mentioned. If you brought any extra things, just throw them away and don't delay our journey."
The group headed south, passing through Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and entered Guangxi. Finally, they chose a sunny day and set off by boat. The journey took two months.
Not to mention Pan Jinlian, a weak woman with three-inch golden lotus feet, even Hong Guan and Wu Song couldn't stand it. Fortunately, Hong Guan had a first-level Chinese medicine practitioner who had been regulating their bodies. They also usually ate some chili peppers, so there was no need to worry about the problem of malaria. They arrived safely in Hainan, which was Qiongzhou in the Song Dynasty.
However, something happened that made Hong Guan speechless. They had already arrived in Hainan, but the mission had not been completed. What was going on? It seemed that as long as Pan Jinlian was still around, the two brothers were destined to have trouble. It was really weird!
It has been more than two months since they came into this world. Hong Guan could not wait any longer. At night, he put some tranquilizers in the food in the name of making medicinal food. After the three of them fell asleep, Hong Guan came to Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian's room.
Looking at Pan Jinlian, Hong Guan felt a little reluctant to attack her. After all, she had not done anything excessive in the more than two months they had been together. However, for the sake of the mission, Hong Guan still took out the dagger.
