Chapter 16 Tai Chi Ting Jin(1/2)
"Master, are they just planning to let it go? I can't swallow this breath!" Xue Dian angrily slapped the table and said angrily.
A trace of anger flashed in Ma San's eyes. He was really on the verge of death that night. Those black-clad swordsmen were different from how he usually fought in the ring. The swords were all aimed at his vital points. One move was careless.
It is very likely that he will die.
"Master and the others are great masters of a generation. They are magnanimous and put the overall situation first. Those of us who are apprentices are not so easy to talk to." Qin Hao sneered.
Xue Dian's eyes lit up when he heard this and he looked at Qin Hao: "Junior brother, have you thought about bringing bad luck to that old bastard Zheng Shan'ao?"
Ma San couldn't help but remind: "But, Master said we are not allowed to find bad luck with Zheng Shanao..."
"Just because you can't do it openly doesn't mean you can't do it privately."
Seeing Qin Hao's confident look, Xue Dian immediately glared at Ma San: "If you are scared, just stay at home..."
Ma San, who was despised, immediately became anxious: "What am I afraid of? The worst thing is that I will be punished. Master treats me with great kindness, so I have to stand up for him no matter what he says!"
Xue Dian nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Qin Hao and waited for the next step.
"Why did Zheng Shanao and the others pay for murder?" Qin Hao asked in a low voice.
Xue Dian said impatiently: "Oh, junior brother, please stop being so pretentious. Our brains combined are not as good as yours. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Because they are afraid. Once master and uncle merge the Xingyi and Bagua sects, they will be able to reintegrate the Chinese Warrior Association."
"Well, that makes sense."
Qin Hao changed the topic: "However, if you are just worried that Master Gong's entry into the Chinese Warriors Association will affect their martial arts alliance, you won't send a killer."
"That seems to be the case." Xue Dian and Ma San looked at each other and nodded one after another.
"Once people take a desperate risk, it means there are interests behind them that they cannot let go of, even if they commit the crime of beheading."
"You mean, no smoking?"
The Tianjin authorities have been clamoring for a smoking ban for more than a year, but the effect is not good. The opium dens on the surface have indeed disappeared, but the opium dens secretly have become more rampant. After all, the profitable business is written in
In criminal law.
Open opium dens still have to pay taxes, but private opium dens can save such a large amount of money and open up the relationship between black and white, and still make huge profits.
"Senior brother, you are already a veteran in Jinmen. You should be able to find those opium dens, right?" Qin Hao said calmly.
Xue Dian chuckled: "Don't worry, I still can't figure this out, so I'm not fooling around in vain."
........
At night, the moon shadow is swaying and the stars are dotted.
Jinmen Pier.
A group of strong men armed with steel knives closely monitored the coolies who were carrying the goods.
"Master Luan, I need you to come over for such a trivial matter. All the brothers are keeping an eye on it. It's absolutely foolproof." A gangster smiled and flattered a middle-aged man with pigtails.
Mr. Luan glanced at him noncommittally: "These goods are all valuable things. If one or two less is enough for us to drink a pot, tell your people to keep an eye on me and don't let those hard-working people give it to you."
I touched it and didn’t even find it.”
"Master Luan, just take a look."
While the gangster was talking, three figures wearing masks walked up under the dim street lights deep in the dock.
Master Luan and the gangster were obviously stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't see what was going on. They stared at it for a while before warning loudly.
"Stop, this is a business for the Zheng Family Boxing Gym, please leave as soon as possible."
Xue Dian sneered and curled his lips. The three of them looked at each other and immediately sped towards the dock.
No matter how slow Mr. Luan was, he knew that the person who came was evil, and quickly asked his brothers to copy the guy. However, he did not take these three people seriously. Except for the tall man, the other two were obviously still wearing masks.
The half-grown children, especially the shortest one, look like they are only twelve or thirteen years old.
Just kidding, he is escorted by a dozen martial arts masters armed with sharp swords.
However, soon, the smile on Master Luan's face froze. Fifteen versus three, in his opinion, should have been an overwhelming advantage.
As a result, as soon as he made contact, he was immediately beaten to the ground.
Not to mention the tall man, he knocked two strong boxers several meters away with just two punches. The half-grown boy didn't give in too much. He used his bare hands to grab the steel knife of a boxer and slashed them in an instant.
Down two people.
What made him even more incredible was that the little man could not survive a round under his hands. His steps were very weird. The three boxers slashed with their swords, but they didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
He was beaten directly by him, and the efficiency was even faster than that of the tall man.
"Friends from the Xingyi Sect, is there any misunderstanding? Our Master Zheng is the vice-president of the Chinese Warriors Association..." Master Luan knew that he was outmatched, so he quickly reported himself to the family, hoping to rely on Zheng Shan
A proud reputation scares away visitors.
However, it was okay that he didn't mention Zheng Shanao, but when he mentioned this name, the other party's attacks became even more ruthless.
In less than three minutes, people were lying on the edge of the pier.
Master Luan and the flattering gangster were so frightened that they shrank back, but Xue Dian grabbed their necks and lifted them up.
The two of them were kicking around in the air, and Mr. Luan quickly begged for mercy while he could still breathe: "Hero, spare your life, we are just begging for food."
"Hmph, go back and tell Zheng Shan'ao to wash his neck and wait at home!" Xue Dian threw the two of them away and strode towards the dock.
Mr. Luan was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he didn't care about the pain in his butt, so he got up and ran back.
During the fight here, the dock coolies stopped what they were doing. When they saw three people wearing masks walking towards them, they were so frightened that they did not dare to move, for fear that the other party would treat them as boxing gym goons and beat them up.
A meal.
Qin Hao and the other two went directly over the coolies and smashed open one of the boxes, and dark solid objects rolled out.
"Ah, is it opium cream?"
"It turns out that what we were asked to move was opium. No wonder we had to unload the goods secretly at night."
"These unscrupulous people, if I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have moved them no matter how much money they gave me."
Qin Hao raised his hands to everyone, then took out a handful of cash from his pocket and threw it to the coolies: "Can you please help us move this batch of goods over there, let's burn them on fire to prevent them from harming anyone!"
The coolies originally thought that Qin Hao and the others were trying to steal the goods, but they didn't expect that they actually wanted to burn the goods.
After hesitating for a while, for the sake of the ocean, everyone was very motivated and quickly moved all the goods on the ship to the center of the pier and stacked them.
Ma San carried a kerosene lamp and threw it on it. The pile of smoke instantly ignited a raging fire.
"Go away quickly, this smoke is poisonous."
Qin Hao said hello, and the coolies took the money one by one and ran away.
Half an hour later, a group of more than a dozen carriages roared over. In the front of the car, an old man over fifty years old walked out, staring coldly at the goods that had been burned.
"They have to dig three feet into the ground to find me and the three of them! I want them to die!" Zheng Shanao drew his knife and split a wooden pile on the pier in half, but he couldn't relieve his heartache.
How much money will he lose if a batch of goods is burned?
However, this is only the beginning.
In the next half month, opium burning took place every night.
Some are at the pier, and some are in private smoking dens.
The key point is that these people are very thieves. After Zheng Shanao had several batches of goods burned, he united eight martial arts schools and set up numerous ambushes, hoping to catch these three daring bastards in one fell swoop. As a result, they seemed to know it in advance.
It was as if there was an ambush, but he was not fooled at all, and instead took the opportunity to attack their opium shop.
For half a month, Zheng Shanao lost more than just goods. The opium shop was smashed, and there was also a problem with the supply of goods. The people behind him became anxious and gave him an ultimatum. If the goods were lost,
If you are robbed again, you will cancel your cooperation with him.
Now Zheng Shanao was really anxious. He immediately mobilized all his contacts and launched a huge reward in the black market, hoping to find the person who stole his goods.
Unfortunately, these three people seemed to have disappeared from the world and never appeared again.
It wasn't that Qin Hao and the others had relieved themselves and were ready to let Zheng Shanao go, but that their actions were discovered by Li Cunyi and Gong Baosen.
The old man taught them a lesson and issued a grounding order. Except for Qin Hao who could learn Tai Chi Tingjin from Sun Lutang, Xue Dian and Ma San were not allowed to leave the yard.
"These three bastards caused such a big trouble if they were not careful!" Gong Baosen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Li Cunyi said with a smile: "Aren't these children just trying to vent our anger for us? The fact that they have such intentions shows that our apprenticeship is not in vain!"
"Senior brother, we can't let them go on fooling around anymore. The people behind Zheng Shan'ao are not trivial. No matter how high their martial arts skills are, can they still defeat guns and cannons?" Gong Baosen shook his head.
Li Cunyi's eyes also flashed with a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter if he has practiced martial arts to the extreme. Facing a well-trained army, he can still become a hornet's nest with just one shot of bullets.
"However, these kids who are making trouble outside have also attracted a lot of Zheng Shanao's attention for us, so that he has no energy to continue making trouble."
These days, Li Cunyi and Gong Baosen were naturally not idle. Taking advantage of the rumors and the panic among the Xingyi and Bagua sects, they recruited one group and divided the other, and once again brought up the merger of the two sects. The resistance was higher than the first time.
Much smaller.
"Next, as long as we get the Cheng faction's Bagua sect to nod and merge the factions, it will basically be done." Li Cunyi said.
Gong Baosen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It is not easy to persuade them."
The recognized founder of Baguazhang is Tong Haichuan, but there are mainly two schools that have been handed down, one is Yin Style Bagua learned by Gong Baosen, and the other is Cheng Tinghua’s Formula Bagua.
