Chapter 54 Chapter Fifty-Fourth Xinwu Civil Disturbance

On this day, Zhao Guan went to Li's house to sit and talk with Li's father and daughter.Seeing that Li Sibiao was worried and thoughtful, he asked what happened.Li Sibiao shook his head and said: "Some things happened in my gang, and the old man will go out to deal with them tomorrow. I am worried about this, and you are laughing at me."Zhao Guandao: Since it is a matter of the noble gang, the juniors don't want to ask more questions.But if I can help fourth master with anything, fourth master is welcome, just ask. Li Sibiao pondered for a while, and said: Brother Jiang, if you are willing to help in this matter, I appreciate your kindness very much.Here's the thing.Under the main altar, the gang is divided into ten altars of A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.Miao Liren, the leader of the Xinwu Temple in Nanchang, died of a sudden illness last month, and the gang is having a lot of quarrels in order to decide the next leader of the altar.Lin Bochao, the master of Wutan of Yi, has been ambitious in recent years and has expanded his power everywhere. As soon as the news of the death of the master of Wutan, Lin Bochao immediately sent his son Lin Xiaochao, the master of Wutan of Geng, to Nanchang to support his cronies to succeed him as the master of Wutan. .I didn't want him to succeed, so I also sent the men of Jiawutan to support another Xiangzhu to succeed the altarmaster.The two sides are quite powerful, and they can't stop arguing, and it has reached the point where swords are on the verge of breaking out. If it is not done well, it will be a gang fight.Huamei, Leier and I will leave for Nanchang tomorrow to negotiate with Lin Xiaochao and others.This man is very strong in martial arts, and his subordinates are also somewhat tough. If little brother Jiang can go with me and help me in a crisis, I will be grateful.

Zhao Guanting was a dispute within his gang, and he didn't want to intervene, but when he heard Lin Xiaochao's name, he remembered that he was the guy who threatened Fang Rouqing, a famous prostitute in Suzhou, to marry him, and thought to himself: The fourth master and the Lin family were originally at odds, but this time they really match up .I'd like to meet Lin Xiaochao, the Geng martial arts master.Seeing Li Huamei looking at him with a very earnest expression, he thought to himself: Fourth Master is worried about this matter, he regards me as a good friend, so I will go and see him, and it will be all right to protect him in an emergency.It is even better if you have the opportunity to get close to the thrush on the road.Convenience: I am a helper outsider, so I am sorry for the inconvenience to intervene in the matter of competing for the altar master.But since fourth master is worried about this matter, I am very willing to go to Nanchang with fourth master, if he can relieve fourth master's worries, he should do his best.

Li Sibiao was very happy, and said: "This will bother my little brother." The next day Zhao Guan took his family member Ding Chongfu and followed the members of the Li family on the westward journey.Along the way, Zhao Guan got an opportunity, so he went to chat with Li Huamei, but she mostly stayed by his father's side, so Zhao Guan had to be a little restrained.Li Huamei is smart and capable, in the past few days, Zhao Guan has often seen her assisting his father and leading the gang, she really has the spirit of a woman and a man.Li Sibiao's apprentice, Zhang Lei, is also the incense master of the Jiawu altar, leading more than 60 subordinates to accompany him. Although his martial arts are not weak, he is reckless and careless, and has a bad temper. Zhao Guan knows that he is not very friendly to him, so he doesn't provoke him. he.

A group of people walked towards the morning and stayed overnight, and settled in a branch altar this day.The moonlight was very bright at night, so Zhao Guan went for a walk in the courtyard, hoping to meet Li Huamei and tease her a few times.He wandered around for a while, feeling very bored, so he couldn't help coming to Li Huamei's room, and when he was considering whether to knock on the door, he heard a man's voice inside the door saying: "You and your father think too highly of that kid." up.This guy surnamed Jiang doesn't know anything, but he has a handsome face in vain. With a little cleverness, what's the use of it?

Zhao Guan thought: Who is scolding me behind my back?Turning to the side of the house and looking in from the window, he saw a person standing with his waist in the room, it was Zhang Lei. But I heard Li Huamei say, "Senior brother, things in the Jianghu are often a battle of wits rather than strength."Didn't you see?Mr. Jiang defeated that Xiong with wit.Daddy admired him very much, and he wanted to lure him into the gang. This time, he invited him to Nanchang to test his talent.Zhang Lei said angrily: "Master wanted to lure him into the gang, and I was the first to object."This man didn't know where he learned some strange martial arts, so he thought he was great.How can this kind of person fit into my youth gang?Li Huamei said: "Daddy said that although his martial arts are not top-notch, but at his age, it is amazing to be able to practice so well."Daddy has been in the Jianghu for decades, but he can't tell his martial arts background. He only guesses that he must have come from a master.

Zhang Lei snorted, and said: This person acts secretly and sneakily, he is not an aboveboard person.We sent people to check his background, we only know that he bought Jiangjiazhuang three years ago and moved to Hangzhou to settle down, nothing else can be found out.His origin is unknown and he has ulterior motives, so how can we not take more precautions?According to me, this person was most likely sent by the enemy to harm Master. He sneaked into Hangzhou to find an opportunity to get close to Master. Li Huamei shook her head and said: You guessed randomly, how can you have any evidence?Dad trusts him very much, and when he is a good friend, you have to be so suspicious!Zhang Lei stared at her and sneered: You just know how to speak for him.You keep talking about Master, but in fact, you are the one who is full of praise for that kid, and you are the one who pestered Master to help him, I never knew about you

Li Huamei raised her eyebrows and said, "What about me?"Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said: I didn't know you were so frivolous!Li Huamei's expression changed, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Lei took a step forward and said loudly: Am I blind?Do you really know that I am blind?After you got to know that kid, you thought about him day and night, and you never forgot him.After talking to him for a while, I was overjoyed.Hmph, you said your father followed you, but he has other ideas in his heart.Your father likes that kid's intelligence, and wants to use it for himself, but he doesn't know his background, so he asked you to get close to him, hoping that you can help him find out some details, so that he can rest assured.Li Huamei said angrily: You just like to guess wildly.How could daddy have such dirty intentions?Zhang Lei sneered and said: I guessed randomly?Do you think your father would really let you marry him?Listen to me, Master promised you to me a long time ago!

Li Huamei was stunned, and blurted out: You are talking nonsense! Zhang Lei walked up to her and said: My father has already mentioned our marriage to Master.Didn't he tell you?Li Huamei was extremely annoyed and wronged, she choked up and said: No! Seeing her expression, Zhang Lei couldn't help feeling angry, grabbed her wrist, and said loudly: Are you crying?why are you crying?Li Huamei shook off his hand and said angrily: "My own marriage, I decide on my own, what father says is none of my business."You get out of here! Zhang Lei was furious and shouted: You don't even listen to what your father said, what is this?Are you going to elope with that kid?I said you're frivolous, and you're right!That kid goes to brothels all day long, and there are always more than ten girls he likes, and you count as one!

Li Huamei raised her head, wiped her tears, stared at him, and said coldly: Senior brother, show some respect in your mouth.If daddy knew you were talking to me like this, how could he still let me marry you?Dad loves me so much, would you let me suffer like this from you? Hearing this, Zhang Lei stopped his anger, took a few breaths, and said in a low voice: Junior sister, it's my fault, I just have this temper, you know.I apologize to you, don't take what I said just now to your heart.I just look down on that surnamed Jiang, and I definitely didn't intend to make you angry. Li Huamei snorted and said: Mr. Jiang hides his secrets, he is a dragon and phoenix among men, only you can't see it if you are blind.Just wait and see.Turn around and open the door.Zhang Lei was about to get angry again, but he dared not go out, snorted heavily, and strode out of Li Huamei's room.

Zhao watched this scene of brothers and sisters quarreling, and found it interesting and strange: Is it true that Miss Li has feelings for me?Why is she always serious when she sees me?She doesn't want to marry senior brother, so that's fine, this Zhang is reckless and confused, who would like him?Hey, Miss Li has a lot of respect for me, saying that I am a dragon and a phoenix.I can't let her down.He is romantic and affectionate by nature, and loves flirting. Although he likes Li Huamei, he has never thought of marrying her. He only thinks that she thinks so highly of himself, and if he fails her expectations, he will feel sorry for her.

But the next day Li Sibiao got the report, Lin Bochao sent his son Lin Xiaochao and brought hundreds of men into the city, and Zhang Wanqing, a confidant who supported the Lin family, took over as the altar leader.Lin Xiaochao himself is the altar master of Yueyang Geng's martial arts altar, and he has a lot of influence in Hunan. This time he led a large number of people to Jiangxi, obviously he is determined to win the position of Xin Wu altar master.Li Sibiao had only a hundred men under his command, and his aura was weak in comparison. When everyone talked about this matter at night, a Xiangzhu surnamed Jiang said: There are more than 500 brothers in Xin Wutan, only less than 100 belong to Zhang Wanqing, and most of the remaining brothers support Xiangzhu Peng Wei.If we can unite with Xin Wu's brothers, we will be comparable in strength to Lin Xiaochao.Li Huamei said: Brother Jiang is right.But I heard that Peng Xiangzhu's direct brothers are only more than 150 people, so I'm afraid that Xin Wutan is in chaos and it's not easy to concentrate. Zhang Lei said: Master, we still have many brothers in Hangzhou, so I will go and recruit another four or five hundred people. Li Sibiao shook his head and said: It's too late to move people now.Besides, if we call for more manpower, it seems that we are really going to fight a big battle, and it will only make things more rigid.Peng Wei is a man of righteousness and trustworthiness, he is very popular, he is a hundred times better than that surnamed Zhang, so it makes sense to let him be the altar master.In order to fight for territory, Lin Xiaochao must support his cronies, which is unreasonable. We are confident and confident, and we are not afraid of their numbers.Everyone nodded in agreement. A group of people approached Nanchang, but they saw that Peng Wei had led more than 300 brothers and lined up outside the city to meet them.From a distance, Zhao Guan saw green flags standing everywhere on the plain, and all the helpers put on their best outfits and waited solemnly.Li Sibiao is the second person in the Green Gang, he is so respected, when the gang members saw him coming, they shouted in unison: Hello, Fourth Master!The sound shook the world.Seeing such a scene, Zhao Guan thought to himself: Fourth Master didn't just talk about winning by momentum.He not only has the aura of righteousness, but with him alone, the aura is enough to overwhelm thousands of opponents. Lin Xiaochao's subordinates from Geng's martial arts circle and brothers from Zhang Wanqing's branch from Xin's martial arts circle did not come out to greet him.Li Sibiao and Peng Wei rode into the city together. When asked about the situation, Peng Wei shook his head and sighed, and said: Zhang Wanqing's reputation in the altar has always been bad. Arbitrary punishment, as if the position of the altar master has been secured by his surname Zhang.The day before yesterday, the surname Zhang led people to surround and beat my three brothers, who were seriously injured.Several brothers went to seek revenge, and five people were injured on each side. Li Sibiao asked for details, knowing that the situation was already very tense, he frowned, worried that an internal struggle might be inevitable.
