Chapter 1: The 119th Mutual Aid Association

We have to slowly tell the secret map of Feng Taihang hidden opium in Lin Zexu's hand.

This is a long and narrow alley. The narrow road is paved with a layer of grinded potholes. The blue bricks on both sides leave the mark of time under the erosion of wind and rain. As the dark curtain gradually descends, the lights on the earth are lit, and most parts of Guangzhou city begin to become deserted, but this alley becomes lively. The red lanterns in the alley shine on the black guests from all over the country, and the music and singing every night, and the numerous brothels and courtyards have formed a deformed prosperity here.

The atmosphere here today reveals some differences everywhere. There are many unknown figures standing at both ends of the alley. These people are divided into two groups, with each other frowns, staring at me, and I staring at you. This fierce and evil look made passers-by who entered the Xuanjin Cave pass by them uneasyly

"Huamanlou" is the most famous courtyard in this alley, and Chunxiang Pavilion is the number one guest room in this courtyard. Several men with bare breasts and exposed breasts standing outside the door are almost a copy of unknown people outside. They are also divided into two groups and stare at each other coldly.

The weather in Guangzhou is still hot in August, and the atmosphere in Chunxiang Pavilion is as stuffy as this weather.

Pan Laoliu is a slut of the Guangzhou Brothers Association, known as Pan Liuye. Regarding the Mutual Aid Association that has recently entered Guangzhou, Pan Liuye has been full of fire. As the saying goes, strong dragons do not suppress local snakes. As soon as this Mutual Aid Association enters Guangzhou, it will provide disaster relief everywhere and preach and preach the teachings everywhere, but it does not even worship the church of the Brothers Association. Pan Liuye said to a man with a purple face opposite with a stern face: "Wang Si, brother today, I have come to Hua Manlou for your sake. Since I have come, I will explain it to the friend who is in the same name. Why did I become my brother under Pan Liu? I can't explain it clearly today, so I can't figure out the door of Hua Manlou."

Xu Hanqing was a backbone of Dong Haichuan's Wuwei Cult. After Wuwei Cult was renamed Mutual Aid Association, it also began to expand to the south. Guangzhou was a focus of Mutual Aid Association's expansion. Two months ago, Xu Hanqing brought a group of people to Guangzhou. With the financial resources of Mutual Aid Association, Xu Hanqing recruited soldiers in Guangzhou and expanded rapidly. It soon attracted the attention of the strongest brothers and brothers in the local area.

This Brotherhood is actually a branch of the Hongmen in the south, but it is just a different name. However, the Brotherhood at this time was no longer the Hongmen when Zheng Chenggong founded the Hongmen in an attempt to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Not only was it not, the Brotherhood was also a huge opium sales organization. Several provinces in the south, especially Guangzhou and Fujian, have many tobacco shops. Most of these tobacco shops are under the guise of brothels in the city and are extremely hidden. In the countryside, they are openly open for business.

The Mutual Aid Association vigorously promoted the harm of opium during missionary missions. Its propaganda methods were adapted from local dramas, which had a great impact on the business of the Brotherhood. As a result, the two sides had irreconcilable conflicts, and the Brotherhood suffered a great loss in several conflicts. The boss of the local Guang'an Escort Agency, Wang Si, had dated both people. Because he was frightened by Pan Liu's power, under the instruction of Pan Liu, Wang Si invited the Mutual Aid Association to talk to the people of the Brotherhood in Huamanlou. Today, the gunpowder smells so strong that Wang Si can't help but have some concerns.

Xu Hanqing was also a man who was soft but not hard. He heard Pan Liuchu’s words beauties and immediately scolded: “Although he is not bound by customs and rituals in the world, he has to rely on his conscience. Brothers will sell opium to harm the country and the people, and he may not die well in the future.”

Xu Hanqing's words made Pan Liu glared and cursed: "You are the best moves and dare to be arrogant in front of Liu Master."

"Why do you want to hit someone? I have the will to greet you here." Xu Hanqing said while pointing at his chest indifferently.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Wang Sijun quickly said, "The people in the martial arts world are all making a living. Harmony is the most important thing."

Before Wang Si could finish his words, a bald man next to Pan Liu smashed an empty bowl on the table in front of him towards Xu Hanqing.

Xu Hanqing hit the flew head-on with a punch to face the flying bowl. With a bang, the bowl was shattered, but Xu Hanqing's fist was intact.

At this moment, both sides had no intention of talking. Pan Liu shouted outside the door: "Terror (take action)"

Before Xu Hanqing could leave, the other two men in the room, who were in the mutual aid association, each took out two short muskets. Almost at the same time, the two men in the brotherhood in the room also took out one musket, and a loud bang sound was made in the room.

But in a moment, two corpses were lying in the room. Brother Brothers got muskets and they were two big holes in their chests. Now they were soft on the ground like a pile of rotten meat. A brother from the Mutual Aid Association was shot on the waist. He lay on the ground covering the bloody hole of the gun. Xu Hanqing, who was hiding behind the overturned table, took out the musket and fired two shots at Pan Liu. Pan Liu fell softly to the ground with a short musket emitting smoke. His eyes rolled up,

There was only a piece of white eyes left in his eyes. Wang Si, who was very skilled in martial arts, stared at this fierce fire and suddenly lost confidence in his martial arts. It is understandable that Pan Liu can get muskets when dealing with foreigners, but these people from the Mutual Aid Association actually have muskets, and they have two. Wang Si felt that his understanding of Mutual Aid Association was too shallow, just as Pan Liu thought that the foreign gun in his hand would definitely kill Xu Hanqing. The Mutual Aid Association must have a lot of background.

At this time, gunshots rang out of the house, and then they killed people. Run away! The screams continued, and sometimes you could hear wow screams.

Xu Hanqing stepped forward and pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, cut off Pan Liu's head in a few seconds, and then stood up and said to Wang Si: "The Fourth Master Xu has no choice today. If there is something to offend, I will come to the door to apologize. Brother, I will say goodbye!"

Wang Si bowed his hands weakly and said, "It's easy to say that people are in the world and cannot help themselves, so I'm going to say goodbye."

Xu Hanqing and others helped the wounded out. Except for the Mutual Aid Association, the people outside were empty, and the bodies lying on the ground were all from the Brothers and Brothers. These people suffered a loss because they did not have muskets. It seemed that the people from the Brothers and Brothers were not as powerful as the Mutual Aid Association. Their muskets were limited to the few people around Pan Liuhe. This fire also destined the failure of the Brothers and Brothers. After meeting with the brothers outside, Xu Hanqing quickly evacuated Huamanlou.

After they left for a while, the police battalion of Guangzhou Green Camp arrived, and there were only a scene where dozens of corpses were left.
