Hao Yuan lurked in Hangzhou - he abandoned his missionary status and had no contact with the church in Hangzhou - the bishops of Macau boasted in front of Hao Yuan about their "close cooperation" with the "Australians". Fan. He knew very well that the church in Hangzhou was no longer a force that he could rely on.
He lives in Hangzhou as an ordinary citizen. He does not lack money, but he is only satisfied with the simplest life. He watches the arrival of the Australians with cold eyes, and at the same time, quietly carries out his work of spreading fire.
The work was not going well, and Hao Yuan soon realized what the "boundless darkness" the master said was. It was not just the world that was dark, but the human heart. To illuminate the human heart, it would be worse than burning the entire world with fire. Be difficult.
After several months of unremitting efforts, Hao Yuan finally discovered the place of Nanxiawa. He stayed there quietly and began to run his own organization.
Hao Yuan quickly became the leader of a "vibrant non-governmental organization" in Nanxiawa. This organization is not very famous in the city of Hangzhou, but it is famous for its courage to take action. Compared with many times, it just pretends to be fake and relies on tricks. For "beaters" who are fierce on the surface to make a scene, the ones from "Nanxiawa" are known for their ruthless hands and their daring to fight. The city foxes and rats in Hangzhou are quite afraid of them.
Fortunately, the brothers in Nanxiawa do not intend to make a name for themselves through this, fighting for land and food in Hangzhou. They just want to protect themselves from being bullied.
Hao Yuan had gained his basic strength and gained some fame. However, his fame was not great, and he had a bad reputation among the city's foxes and social rats - he was just "not easy to mess with". He waited patiently. He stood there, paying attention to Zhao Yingong's every move in Hangzhou. Waiting for Zhao Yingong to show his true abilities.
He got in touch with Shi Weng through Cao Guangjiu. As a "broken boot party", Cao Guangjiu has inextricable ties with this kind of "vibrant civil organizations" that are half black and half white. Cao Guangjiu was influenced by Shi Weng. Entrusted with the task, the city foxes and rats were dragged around Hangzhou to show Mr. Zhao a good look. However, most of the city foxes and rats bullied good men and followed the principle of not fighting against power. When they heard that they were going to deal with Mr. Zhao, they all complained of headaches and fever.
Although this Mr. Zhao is a migrant from Guangdong, he was not very prominent at first, but recently he has been associated with many wealthy gentry families in the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard that he has a close relationship with Xuge's hometown.
When gods fight, the common people suffer. No matter how hard the fight between Shi Weng’s boss and Master Zhao is, when the matter is over, the masters will turn their backs and deny each other. The unlucky ones are the demons and monsters who contributed their efforts. Therefore, although all heroes covet Cao Guangjiu The conditions are offered, but there are really not many people who dare to reach out.
The big forces did not come forward, so the little people naturally fell in love with Cao Guangjiu. Cao Guangjiu heard that the people in Nanxiawa "dare to fight and kill" and were very tough. Although they were not many in number, they were very effective in fighting. So he pulled Hao Yuan also. Joined the gang.
Hao Yuan couldn't let go of such an opportunity, so he joined Shi Weng's conspiracy group.
Hao Yuan was not very concerned about who Shi Weng's employer was. He had heard his master say that the most dangerous enemies were the "Australians" and he should seize every possible opportunity to attack them.
However, he was not prepared to follow their footsteps. He knew very well that Shi Weng's employer wanted to deal with Zhao Yingong mainly because of the issue of interests, and it was just a matter of driving Zhao Yingong away. He and Zhao Yingong were not interested in a dispute, but a life-and-death contest.
He decided to take advantage of the opportunity and hit the Australians hard.
On the night of July 14th, he gathered his troops.
There were twelve people here, plus one Jia Le. These people were the key members he gradually developed in Nanxiawa, just like Jia Le. He had taught them some "truths" to some extent, but he had not officially accepted any of them.
Individually as a disciple.
Among these thirteen people, he still needs to further investigate who can become his disciple.
On a large table, a complete floor plan of the bookstore has been briefly drawn with charcoal - this was drawn based on Xihua's description. Although the proportions are not accurate, the overall structure is intact.
"Listen, tomorrow Cao Guangjiu and his gang will attack Fenghuang Villa, and our people have to show their faces." He called by name: "Li Da. Li Er, you brothers will take the brothers from Nanxiawa to follow them tomorrow.
Just stand there and don't have to use any force. Just fight in and show Cao Guangjiu and the others that we've arrived!"
"clear!"
"If they rob, you rob too. If they set fire, you also set fire. Whatever they do, you and others will do it. Don't go out and do it yourself. You have to bring everyone back in peace!"
"We understand, Hao Da." Li Da and Li Er were very convinced of Hao Yuan and nodded in agreement.
"Dong San, Chen Si, tomorrow you lead people to rush in through the front door of Wanbi Bookstore and occupy the front hall. After the brothers behind come in, you will stay there until everyone retreats!"
"clear."
"Mao Wu, He Liu, you lead people to control both ends of the street in Wanbi Villa to prevent idlers from waiting. If any government servants rush towards you, just beat them away. You have the most important task, and you must hold on until three
Start a fire and go up to the sky and then withdraw."
"Don't worry, even if we die on this road, we won't let the yamen rush over." Mao Wu stood up and said firmly.
"It's up to you, but you have to do things skillfully and use your brain more." Hao Yuan smiled, "Don't think about death all the time."
"Yes, I understand. I will remember what you said."
"Zhang Qi, Liu Ba——"
Hao Yuan assigned them one by one, who entered through the front door, who guarded the back door, who was responsible for handling transportation, who was responsible for arson, where to gather and hide, where the files of the stolen money were temporarily stored... they were all listed one by one.
Not only is the plan well-planned, but there are also several backup plans that can be used in case of unexpected events.
"Tomorrow is our first action. We are not working for Mr. Jin Shen, but for ourselves." Hao Yuan said, "I will say it again, no matter what happens, talents are the most important. In case of any crisis,
, protect yourself first!”
After the distribution was completed, everyone attending the meeting dispersed. Hao Yuan ordered Jia Le to put away the important documents and items and move them immediately.
"What should I do about Xihua?"
"Her target is too big. Now Zhao Yingong's people are probably frantically looking for her. Taking her to move her will only expose her to danger. It will be safer for her to stay here." Hao Yuan said,
"Then you are going to abandon her?!" Jia Le's face turned stiff. She had been getting along with Xihua for a long time, and she had a good impression of this sister who was cold on the outside but full of emotions on the inside, and when she thought of her
I abandoned everything and fled here. It would be so pitiful if I was really abandoned by Uncle Hao. Mother said: Men can’t be trusted when it comes to women.
Hao Yuan smiled: "How could it be? I would be so tolerant of a good girl like Xihua? Don't worry, this place is hidden and protected. She is safe here - she is in danger to everyone when she acts with us now.
After the matter is over, I will naturally come to pick her up."
"You can't lie to people..."
"Has your Uncle Hao ever lied to anyone?"
"Then I have to stay here too." Jia Le was still worried, "You won't be so cruel as to throw me away, right?"
"Okay." Time was running out, and Hao Yuan was in a hurry to rush to the next location to coordinate all actions, and could not care about the thoughts of these children. Thinking that this place was not exposed, and that it would be safe for both Jia Le and Xi Hua to stay here, he agreed.
Come down.
"You can stay here, don't wander around, stay in the house as much as possible, and don't even go out to the yard - the same goes for Xihua."
Hao Yuan knew that among the bodyguards and thieves there were quite a few capable people who came and went, but there was no guarantee that Zhao Yingong also had such people.
"I know this. If I stay with her, she will feel at ease. Otherwise, when she wakes up, she will be surrounded by strangers. What would you think if it were you?"
Hao Yuan hurried away, while Jia Le stayed here and became the leader here. She immediately informed the nursing home staff and others, closed and locked all unused rooms, and extinguished all lights except those that were necessary.
"Except for those who guard the back door and those responsible for external support, who stay in the front and rear gate rooms, everyone else returns to the main courtyard." Jia Le ordered, "Move my luggage to the east side courtyard where Miss Xihua lives. We will live there in the future.
There, other people live around the main courtyard to protect him."
There is enough food and firewood in this house, as well as a well. You can live for a month without leaving the house. Hao Yuan's last order to Jia Le is simple: stay here quietly and don't interact with anyone.
They met and contacted each other until he sent someone with a token to find them.
Early the next morning, Jia Le came to meet Xihua to have breakfast together. When she mentioned that Hao Yuan had left here, she noticed a hint of uneasiness in the other person's eyes.
"Don't worry, Sister Xihua, Uncle Hao values you very much." Jia Le comforted, "Look, he specially left me here to serve you."
"Stop making fun of me." Xihua felt depressed in his heart. The sense of relief he felt after escaping from the villa yesterday was no longer there, but a feeling of regret that he was unworthy of Zhao Yingong's kindness was secretly growing.
This annoyance is mixed with anxiety about the future.
In Phoenix Villa, although I didn't think much about my future, at least I knew that my life would be spent peacefully day after day. Although it was boring, it was also very comfortable. Now I suddenly jumped out of this unchanging box.
, but it made her feel at a loss.
After all, I am a woman. I am not as free as a man, and I can be in the public eye and do a career. So what will my future be like?
Hao Yuan said that he wanted her to stay by his side. So what kind of status does she have?
Last night, she was so troubled by these worries that she almost didn't sleep all night. When she closed her eyes, she saw the faces of Zhao Yingong and Hao Yuan.
