The Founding of the Red Chamber

Mu Qiuting stayed at Zhang Biao's house, and Zhang Biao treated him as a distinguished guest.

Of course, Zhang Biao did not forget about his relationship with Mu Qiuting. Although the number of relationships was not very high, there would always be gold and silver. If Mu Qiuting refused, Zhang Biao planned to give him some women.

Some things really depend on talent.

For example, Zhang Biao only wanted to know how to buy gold and silver women, but Situ San knew how to drag Mu Qiuting to talk about his friendship.Mu Qiuting was born in a bandit, and Situ San and the others were all carrying their own lives. If they were not desperate, no one would be able to take the step of hiding their names.In particular, Zhang Biao's family was ruined by the county magistrate Miemen, and it was said that he was full of blood and tears.

Situ San would not hand over his old background to Mu Qiuting, he would start from the hard-working way to Jinling, where the brothers fought for the territory with a narrow escape, and then how Zhang Biao was favored by Cao Bang Master Peng. Love daughter.Now how Lord Peng loves Zhang Biao, personally invited Mu Qiuting and Hero Mu to protect Zhang Biao's safety, both inside and outside the words are grateful to Peng Ye, it is simply setting Peng Ye as a moral model.

Situ San not only said all kinds of good things about Mr. Peng in front of Mu Qiuting, he also made people brag about Mr. Peng's noble morality in the streets and alleys. Those who don't know the tone and the story inside may think that This is a tribute to Confucius.

The corners of Master Peng's lips twitched as he listened, his face expressionless.

At the same time, Zhang Biao said he was filial to his father-in-law, so he had to take a bowl of water to his father-in-law first.Therefore, Weng's son-in-law is more affectionate than his own father and son.This was said by Peng Li, "Brother-in-law is more filial than our brothers."

Anyway, suddenly, Master Peng became a moral saint.

Mr. Peng had no choice but to express his love and satisfaction for son-in-law Zhang with a smile on his face, but the actual mood of Mr. Peng was unknown.

Now Zhang Biao stopped mentioning Zhao Heipi at all, and flattered his father-in-law wholeheartedly, which is completely a "dragging" tactic.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, Zhang Biao is supporting himself at home, but Zhao Heipi sent someone to send an invitation.

When Zhao Heipi sent a large sum of money to his backer Fu Tongzhi, he said euphemistically, "The villain and Brother Zhang are doing business together in Jinling City. When you look down and see you, you should be close brothers, but there are always people who think about it." The clam fights for the fisherman's profit, sowing discord between the villain and Brother Zhang. The adult is always merciful, but the villain thinks, please be a gentleman, and the villain wants to invite Brother Zhang to have a glass of thin wine in Furong Tower."

Fu Tongzhi originally heard that the two of them were going to kill each other soon, and didn't want to give Zhao Heipi a sudden gift to make peace with Zhang Biao. Fu Tongzhi was surprised, but he didn't show anything on his face. Without his share, he will not follow!Since Zhao Heipi wanted to make peace, it would be great. The newly appointed magistrate Mr. Xie is a Buddhist, and he is not happy to see Jinling City be beaten and killed.

Fu Tongzhi thought about the generous gift list Zhao Heipi presented, and smiled, "Last time, the magistrate built bridges and paved roads, you were generous and generous, and you are worthy of the name of charity business. Since there are some misunderstandings, just talk about it, and you can discuss it with Zhang Biao , I will definitely be there."

Zhao Heipi gave a deep salute, "Adults care and love, villains are unforgettable."

Fu Tongzhi laughed and was flattered by Zhao Heipi.

Zhao Heipi hosted a banquet in Furong Building.

Furong Tower is neither Zhang Biao's site nor Zhao Heipi's site, but the site of Zhu Zhenning, who is comparable to them in Jinling City, but is particularly low-key.

Zhao Heipi personally came forward to seek favor with Zhu Zhenning, and Zhu Zhenning vacated the Furong Building for a day.

Zhang Biao showed the invitation to Situ San and Peng Li, but he didn't hide it from Mu Qiuting.

The four cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

Peng Li said, "I'm afraid there will be no good banquet."

Zhang Biao said, "Zhao Heipi doesn't dare to attack me so openly. Didn't he invite the killer Pang Mo? Even if he does, he has to shake hands and make peace."

Mu Qiuting said indifferently, "If brother Zhang is worried about safety, there is no need. With me here, I will definitely protect brother Zhang."

Zhang Biao looked at Situ San who had been silent all this time, and asked, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Situ San put his thin hand on Zhao Heipi's invitation and shook his head, "I don't know, I just feel very panicked. Brother Biao, Zhao Heipi invited you to a banquet at Zhu Zhenning's place. In other words, the three families They are all here, if someone wants to catch them all, this is a great opportunity. I think that even if you want to have a banquet, you can’t be in Furong Tower, it’s not safe here.”

Peng Li said, "Indeed, it's better to change places."

Zhang Biao said, "If it was our territory, Zhao Heipi might not come at all."

Peng Li thought for a while, and said, "What about the Qinhuai River? That's the territory of the Cao Gang. Since Zhao Heipi wants to shake hands with his brother-in-law to make peace, he and his brother-in-law are both disciples of the Cao Gang, so there is no reason why they don't know how to know the Cao Gang. People only invite Fu Tongzhi, isn’t it too flimsy? Besides, Fu Tongzhi is not a member of the Jianghu. Brother-in-law might as well ask his father to come forward. Witnessed by his father and Fu Tongzhi, Zhao Heipi will not be able to turn his back on him in the future. As long as the arrangement is proper, safety will not has a problem."

I have to say that Peng Li's suggestion is the most appropriate way.

However, that night was really the most dangerous night in Situ San's life.

That night, Situ San arranged more than a dozen boats to take Situ Si, the Jia brothers, and Xiao Niuzi on board.The Jia brothers have always been Situ San's right-hand men, but Situ Si and Xiao Niuzi, because of their young age, have only a half-knowledge about the affairs of the gang and have little contact with them.When Zhang Biao saw the two little ones coming, he smiled at Situ San and said, "You took them with you."

Situ San smiled, "Bring me to see the world, anyway, sooner or later I will do this job."

Zhang Biao touched Situ Si's head and smiled, "Fourth brother, learn from your brother and work hard."

Situ Si responded resoundingly, he was born with a thick head and a tiger head, and he looked honest, such a subordinate, any boss would like it.Zhang Biao laughed, "My fourth brother is much taller."

"Yes, I have to eat meat every day." Situ San wasn't too focused, he didn't ask Situ Si and the others to follow the boat, but waited on another boat.

Situ San followed Zhang Biao and took his confidant brothers on the big boat of the Cao Gang, a double-decker big boat, and it would be no problem to put hundreds of people in it.On the matter of safety, Situ San did not spare manpower and brought enough manpower.

As soon as Zhang Biao, Situ San and the others boarded the boat of the Cao Gang, Zhao Heipi also arrived with people on the other side.

Zhang Biao and Zhao Heipi walked across each other, stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and intertwined their eyes for a while, the two laughed cheerfully at the same time, and cheered cordially, "Oh, my brother, You're here-"

Not avoiding the past, they hugged each other, as if they were real brothers.

The two entered the main cabin hand in hand.

Situ San and Mu Qiuting followed behind Zhang Biao, and behind Zhao Heipi a man in gray smiled at Mu Qiuting, his eyes were as cold as cold stars on his ordinary face.The hostility in it seemed to fall on Mu Qiuting in essence, and even Situ San, who was beside Mu Qiuting, felt uncomfortable. When he looked up, the man had already withdrawn his gaze, like an ordinary guard, Follow Zhao Heipi into the main cabin within three steps.

In fact, only a dozen people can enter the main cabin, and the rest can only wait on the outer deck.

Zhang Biao invited Mr. Peng as the middleman, and Zhao Heipi invited Fu Tongzhi. Since this is the territory of the Cao Gang, naturally there are several elders of the Cao Gang who are in charge.

The people don't compete with the officials, Master Peng asked Fu Tongzhi to take the lead.It was Fu Tongzhi who spoke and signaled Mr. Peng to be the first, and Fu Tongzhi smiled, "I don't know much about these rivers and lakes, but Zhang and Zhao are both well-known merchants in the city, and they also have the heart to donate to the bank on weekdays. If something is dirty because of some trivial things, It's not beautiful after all. Mr. Peng is an elder in the world, Mr. Peng can tell you."

Master Peng was no longer humble, and was obviously used to such occasions. He got up from his chair, his round face was not as easy-going and friendly as before, but rather majestic, and even his voice carried an indescribable pressure.Master Peng said in a deep voice, "You are all disciples of my Cao Gang, and the first rule of my Cao Gang is: Never allow disciples to kill each other! Now, you are considered to be the most respected people in Jinling City. If there is any misunderstanding, you will Let’s clear up the misunderstanding! Drink another glass of water and wine, and from now on, you will be better than your real brothers, and you will both work for the Cao Gang!"

They both said, "We are brothers at first, and they are all rumors of villains." Then they said, "I would like to respect the teaching of the master." They each took a glass of wine and clinked glasses to drink.

The ceremony couldn't be simpler. When Master Peng saw them drinking, he smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, this is worthy of being a disciple of the Cao Gang!" , For a while, there were only Fengyue singing and dancing in the time cabin, and the beauties persuaded them to drink.

However, Zhang and Zhao both had their own concerns, so naturally they were only socializing on the surface, and they didn't drink too much.

As the night deepened, a loud arrow suddenly pierced the night sky!

Zhang Biao jumped up, Situ San's expression changed suddenly, Mu Qiuting stepped over to block Zhang Biao, and Situ San protected behind.One of Situ San's subordinates ran in and said anxiously, "Boss, there are six big ships approaching our ship outside!"

Zhang Biao's eyes shot fire, and he shouted angrily, "Zhao Heipi! How dare you cheat!"

Zhao Heipi was holding an exquisitely carved silver cup, with a leisurely attitude, and even his voice became a little drunk and became lazy, "Zhang Biao! Situ San! Mu Qiuting! You really think that changing your name and surname will be enough for you?" Be a man again!" Zhao Heipi slammed the silver cup in his hand, and shouted sharply, "The one who changed his name and surname lied to Mr. Peng! He lied to the Cao Gang! You really think you can fool the world! Tomorrow today is yours. Death day!"

Master Peng shouted, "Zhao Heipi, you are so brave!"

The snow light was like lightning, and Mu Qiuting shot out suddenly, stabbing Zhao Heipi straight with his sword!Just at this moment, behind Zhao Heipi, a ghostly gray shadow greeted Mu Qiuting, the two swords met, and after a row of dazzling sparks were swept away, they were separated immediately!

There was already a noisy sound of killing outside.
