Long Qiye was eating in the dining room when a servant ran in in a panic and reported to Long Qiye with hissing and panting.
"Old... Master, something big... something bad is going to happen!"
Master Long Qi put down his chopsticks calmly, and the maid beside him handed over a handkerchief at the right time. Master Long Qi took the handkerchief and wiped it calmly before he asked.
"What happened?"
The young servant trembled and replied: "Yuan... Boss Yuan's whole family... were all killed!"
Bang!
"What?"
After hearing the news, Long Qiye could no longer remain calm and stood up suddenly. Due to the large movement, he even knocked over the teacup on the table. In an instant, the tea was scattered all over the floor.
At the same time, a lot of tea splashed on Master Long Qi, but at this time, Master Long Qi didn't care about these trivial matters at all, and just asked the servant with a solemn expression.
"when did it happen?"
"It should...it should have happened last night."
Although he was already in the Long family at this time, the young servant still felt a little frightened when he thought of the tragic situation of the Yuan family, so much so that he felt a little awkward even speaking.
"Last night?"
Long Qiye frowned and murmured to himself.
The Yuan family and the Long family have known each other for many years and know each other well. Mr. Long Qi could not figure out who had such a big hatred against the Yuan family.
Suddenly, Long Qiye remembered something in his mind.
Has the matter of contacting Yuanbao Town been exposed?
Du Laosan learned the news and went to Yuan Peng for revenge?
The more Master Long Qi thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high. However, the way they contacted Yuanbao Town was very secretive, and not many people knew the news.
Unless there is a traitor among them!
After thinking for a moment, Long Qiye decided to ignore the matter for the time being. The deceased was gone and the top priority now was to ensure the safety of his own family.
"Shunzi, go to town quickly and call the young master back!"
"yes."
Immediately, the young servant hurriedly left the Long family and rushed towards the town.
An hour later, a young man wearing a gray military uniform, tall and tall, with angular cheeks walked majestically into Master Long Qi's exclusive study.
"Dad, on the way back, Shunzi told me everything that happened in the Yuan family. What are you going to do?"
After experiencing the initial panic, Long Qiye had already regained his composure.
"Boss, how many people can you mobilize now?"
Young Master Long pondered for a moment and said: "All the soldiers under my command can be mobilized. Of course, if a certain price is paid, I am sure to persuade those in charge."
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894, the Qing government reformed the original army system in order to strengthen its army and organized and trained the original troops one by one into a new army.
The new army completely uses the Western-style military system, training and equipment. Everything is in accordance with the German and Japanese systems, and is taught by foreigners. The specific organization is: two towns constitute one army, two associations constitute one town (one town has 12,512 officers and soldiers), and two marks are
The first association (the first association has 4,038 officers and soldiers), each bid has three battalions, and each battalion has four teams.
Among them, the officer in charge of the first battalion is called the commander, and the officer in charge of the first team is the team officer. Young Master Long's current military position is the team officer of the second team of the first battalion of the New Army in Wushan Town.
"Okay, you will go back later. No matter what method you use, you must convince your superior!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Young Master Long's eyes when he heard this, and he asked in an uncertain tone.
"Whatever the cost?"
Long Qiye made a decisive decision.
"That's right! No matter the cost!"
Last night, Long Qiye and Yuan Peng were drinking and chatting happily. Who would have thought that in just one night, the two of them would be separated from each other. The Yuan family's miserable situation undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Long Qiye.
Facing a lawless gangster like Du Laosan, no one can predict what the other party will do next.
Although the Long Family's defense is not bad, with the strength of Du Laosan's men, if the opponent goes crazy and attacks the Long Family regardless of the cost, the Long Family will definitely not be able to stop the opponent's attack.
Once the Long Family is defeated by Qingfeng Village, the consequences will be self-evident.
The Yuan family is a lesson learned from the past!
Young Master Long nodded with a heavy face: "I understand, kid."
"Go quickly."
"I'll go back right away!"
After saying this, Master Long turned around and left the calligraphy in a hurry.
"well!"
After a long time, a sigh suddenly sounded in the quiet study.
Master Long Qi knew that this time, he was going to bleed heavily.
He knew very well what kind of virtue it was to be a new military leader in Wushan Town. Although the Long family usually treated each other with filial piety, this person had a huge appetite. When faced with this kind of opportunity, the other party would definitely go crazy.
However, at this time, it is meaningless to worry about the gains and losses of money.
Without the protection of the other party, the Long family is very likely to follow in the footsteps of the Yuan family.
Once a person dies, what's the point of having more money?
Therefore, even if it hurts, the money has to be spent.
It was precisely because of Zhou Guandai's greed that Master Long Qi thought of contacting Yuanbao Town, hoping that Li Jie could bring Wushan Town under the protection of the security team.
As early as a month ago, Long Qiye noticed the security team of Yuanbao Town who were suppressing bandits everywhere. He even sent someone to follow the security team and observed the whole process of the security team's suppression of bandits.
After seeing the combat power of the security team, Long Qiye took action and sent people to carefully collect information about the security team.
As a result, he was greatly surprised when he learned that the Yuanbao Town security team only collected 5,000 in premiums a year.
Such an elite team only needs 5,000 people a year?
What a bargain!
In order to please Zhou Guandai, the Long family spent at least one to two thousand yuan a year.
And this is just the cost of one person.
If the costs of managing other officials are included, the Long family's annual expenditure in this area must be at least doubled. Of course, the Long family spends so much, most of which is to pave the way for Young Master Long.
But for just five thousand oceans, you can get the protection of an elite 'troop'. No matter how you look at it, this deal is worth every penny.
…
…
…
Yuanbao Town, security team base.
Li Jie didn't know anything about what happened in Wushan Town. At the same time, he didn't know that he was being 'remembered', but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Compared to the expansion of the security team to neighboring towns, this matter is obviously more important at the moment.
In recent days, Li Jie has been staying at the base as an 'instructor', but this time he is not teaching military training, but teaching people how to handle medicinal materials and how to make proprietary Chinese medicines.
On the other side, Da Jinli wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Li Jie cautiously, and then handed the concocted medicinal materials to the boss as if offering a treasure.
"Boss, do you think this burn ointment is qualified?"
Li Jie glanced down and said calmly: "It's not bad, it's still eye-catching."
Upon hearing this comment, Da Jinli breathed a sigh of relief.
not easy!
It’s not easy!
After studying for half a month, he finally made a qualified potion.
