Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve
It is said that Xu Chengming lived in "Wangfa", while making his subordinates ready to fight Mo Qiqing at any time, while being grateful to Peng Kun.
Seeing that the hall master believed in Peng Kun too much, Deng Daqing said what he had kept in his heart for a long time: "Hall master, there is no love or hatred for no reason in the world, and the 'Sanshanhui' has nothing against us. I don't think they have any reason to chase after him, and we don't know much about Peng Kun, so I always feel a little strange about what happened today, we can't trust others too much."
Xu Chengming said: "You are paranoid. Master Peng has made it very clear that if the 'Sanshanhui' wants to dominate the world, it will start with the young and weak. Who told us to shoot only a few dozen people?"
Seeing that Xu Chengming didn't like to listen, Deng Daqing knew that he wouldn't be convinced if he didn't show the facts, so he sighed: "It's useless to say too much, let the facts prove it. We also left a few people at the table, Mo Qiqing Is it really going to hit us, the truth will be revealed tomorrow morning."
Xu Chengming felt that this was reasonable, so he stopped praising Peng Kun and waited for tomorrow's news.
It was Yewangfa that the gambling house was fine. In the morning, Mao Guoqing, the little boss who was in charge of staying behind, came to report: "Last night was safe and sound, and there was no 'Sanshan Club' to harass."
"Understood." Xu Chengming looked at Deng Daqing: "Military division, this...?"
Deng Daqing asked: "Have there ever been ghosts and ghosts active around?"
Mao Guoqing: "Absolutely not. Because I was worried about the attack, I ordered the door to be closed tightly, and I peeped in the dark nearby. I didn't close my eyes all night."
Deng Daqing nodded and said to Xu Chengming: "I knew that Peng Kun was playing tricks on us. According to the observations of the past two days, the 'Sanshanhui' may have a sworn feud with the 'Hongyitang'. Peng Kun used tricks to draw us in." , as if playing some trick."
Mao Guoqing interjected: "Report to the hall master, I heard a news today that there was a gangster fire at the mouth of the puddle."
Deng Daqing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Did the 'Sanshanhui' fight with the 'Hongyitang' at the mouth of the puddle?"
"I don't know the details, I only heard that one party was unprepared and passively beaten, and all of them died tragically."
Deng Daqing said: "It may be that Peng Kun got the information in advance, led some people here, and even brought us to accompany him! No need to guess, it must be Mo Qiqing who went to fight 'Hong Yitang'!"
Xu Chengming seemed to have heard it, and was about to speak, but it was very lively outside, as if something serious had happened.
Deng Daqing said: "Mao Guoqing, go and see what happened."
When Mao Guoqing went out, Xu Chengming asked tentatively, "Military Master, what are the people from 'Hongyitang' doing outside?"
"According to my estimation, something must have happened at the mouth of the water hole last night, which caused the commotion here."
"They also know so fast?"
"No surprise, Peng Kun must have sent his eyes and ears to investigate early in the morning. Peng Kun is such a powerful character, I almost ignored him!"
Then Deng Daqing expressed a lot of opinions on Peng Kun, imagining him very scary.
Xu Chengming was stunned when he heard this, and said: "If Peng Kun is really as powerful as you say, he will undoubtedly control the world in Hong Kong in the future. Anyway, I still don't believe it. You military advisers have always liked to catch wind and shadows, and the association is very Rich. The hall master’s words are also reasonable, I hope my analysis is just 'following the wind and shadows', and Mao Guoqing will understand when he comes back."
Someone outside the door spoke, it was Mao Guoqing.
Mao Guoqing looked inside the house, saw no one outside, and asked: "Master, military advisor, what did Su Xiaofeng do here just now?"
Xu Chengming was very surprised: "No, no one has been here. After you left, the military division and I were here." "It must be sent by Peng Kun to spy on the intelligence," Deng Daqing said, patting the table, "Oh no, we talked about it." Many important questions, Mao Guoqing, have you seen clearly?"
"I see it very clearly. It is Su Xiaofeng, Peng Kun's subordinate who is in charge of intelligence work. I happened to meet him when I was going out. I asked him, and he said that he came to see the hall master. Now when I come back, I saw him at the door again."
Deng Daqing nodded: "Understood. Put this aside first, and be careful in the future. Let's talk about the outside situation first."
Mao Guoqing said: "The military adviser's estimation is indeed correct. Last night Mo Qiqing bloodbathed 'Hong Yitang', killing Liang Zaitang and more than a hundred of his men."
Xu and Deng looked at each other in blank dismay.
Xu Chengming: "The military division's 'Chasing the Wind and Shadow' is a bit miraculous, I'm convinced, I'm convinced! What should I do now?"
Deng Daqing: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Peng Kun is too insidious. One day our whole hall will be kept in the dark under his schemes."
Xu Chengming nodded.
"Su Xiaofeng should have told Peng Kun what I said just now. In this way, he will definitely not force us to stay when we say goodbye."
The more Xu Chengming thought about it, the more breathless he was, and he slapped the table: "I must tear off his face in person!" A person who is not a city mansion is regarded as a man of great wisdom and stupidity, so that people can't figure out the details so they won't be underestimated."
Xu Chengming: "I can't swallow this breath."
"If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it. This is the world."
"We have lost so many brothers, and the burial fees and pensions for relatives have been used up a lot, and the economy of the church is in short supply. The money should be paid by Peng Kun."
Deng Daqing: "At the time of signing the agreement, it was written that casualties should be taken at our own risk. Now we can only eat yellow lotus as dumb, knock out our teeth and swallow them in our stomachs."
Xu Chengming sighed: "We have been tricked by Peng Kun."
"However, if Peng Kun has a conscience, he should be responsible. Why don't you ask him for a loan and explain the reasons fully."
Xu Chengming stood up: "Okay, let's go up together."
From the second floor to the fourth floor, there are people from "Hongyitang" peeping in the dark all the way.
Su Xiaofei, who was guarding outside the living room, saw Xu Chengming, and immediately notified him, and then a message came out: "Our military adviser has invited two of you!"
Peng Kun didn't know why Xu Chengming came here, so he hurriedly rubbed tea on his eyes to fill his eyes with tears, and when he saw Xu Chengming coming in, he bowed his head and bowed: "Master Xu, I'm so miserable, Master Liang, and many brothers yesterday All of them died at the hands of Mo Qiqing..."
Deng Daqing knew that Peng Kun was "acting", but at this time he didn't have the slightest intention to play games, so he said: "People cannot be resurrected after death, Junshi Peng should mourn, take care of his body, and get up as soon as possible to avenge the brothers who died. We, Hong Qunle, have also suffered many disasters recently, thanks to the careful care of Mr. Peng, we are not in serious trouble."
Peng Kun listened to every word of Deng Daqing quietly, pondering over and over in private.
Deng Daqing went on to say: "As the saying goes, 'Although Chang'an is good, it is not a home for a long time'. The hall master and I have discussed it and are going to say goodbye to you."
Peng Kun originally thought that Xu Chengming would expose his scars face-to-face as soon as they met, so he planned to prevaricate with a look of mourning, but he did not expect them to behave very calmly.I had no choice but to invite the two to sit down to hide my uneasiness: "Please sit down, please sit down."
Xu and Deng sat down, and Peng Kun rubbed his hands: "Since you two want to leave, there must be your reasons, and someone like Peng has no right to intervene. Do not hesitate to die."
Peng Kun's words were both a temptation and a lie, but they found a gap for Deng Daqing, and he clasped his fists together: "Thank you, military advisor, we can rest assured with your words. Relatives have spent a lot on pensions, plus they just bought arms, 'Hong Qunle' is actually just a show, and it has long been short-lived—”
Peng Kun immediately understood what he meant, and quickly interrupted: "Didn't your hall charge a lot of land protection fees?"
Deng Daqing shook his head repeatedly: "After all, the protection fee is limited. I can't even ask for other people's shops. Now that Hong Kong's economy is in recession, the business of the three brothels is better, but they have already collected all the fees for next year. We Xiaotangkou, how can we compare you big families, rich and powerful, with a root hair thicker than our waist. I discussed with the hall master, and I was about to ask the military adviser to borrow 10,000 oceans. It will be returned with interest."
Peng Kun sighed: "It's rare for the two of you to be so flattering and talk to me, not to mention anything else. This sentence alone is worth 10,000 oceans. How dare you expect interest? It's a pity that 'Hong Yitang' is actually just an empty shelf. In addition, in addition to the catastrophe that happened last night, Hall Master Liang and more than a hundred dead brothers could not leave their corpses in the wild, so we can only be ashamed of the two sincerely asking for each other. But then again, since it is the first time that your hall has spoken , although Peng has no virtue and incompetence. I can understand the word 'morality', but I have a ready-made way to make money here and I would like to hand it over."
Deng Daqing clasped his fists: "Teach me."
Peng Kun stepped back and said, "Except for Tangxi Fengyue, what other places are there in Hong Kong that are so rich?"
Xu and Deng were puzzled and shook their heads to express their ignorance.
"Wharf." Peng Kun said: "Hong Kong is a world-renowned natural harbor. From Sheung Wan to Wanchai to North Point, there are many piers along the way. The ultimate development trend of gangsters must move closer to the coast. Since the establishment of various churches has not been long, most of them are not aware of this. If your hall comes to strike first, and when others wake up, you have already made enough money!"
Deng Daqing clenched his lips and said, "Of course this is a good way, but the docks are also connected, and it affects the whole body."
"Don't be afraid," Peng Kun said, "as for the Wanchai Wharf, Zhong Shengfu organized a 'Hong Yiyong'. It's all loose sand, and there are not many people with guns. It's vulnerable."
Deng Daqing got up: "Thank you, Military Adviser Peng, for your guidance. Let's take our leave."
After Xu and Deng left, Su Xiaofeng flashed out from the back door and asked, "Military Master, are you really willing to give up a piece of fat to someone else?"
Peng Kun frowned and said, "I want you to go away, so you're still eavesdropping, brat, who told you to do that!"
Su Xiaofeng grinned and said: "Military Master, I'm used to it. It's you who often teach me how to be careful. I think the pier is indeed a piece of fat and cannot be given to others."
"You know what a fart. Although the pier is a piece of fat, do you think it is delicious? Just wait and see, as soon as 'Hong Qunle' breaks his fast, all the halls in Hong Kong will immediately stare at him. The relentless massacre is about to begin, we just need to watch the battle in the dark, prepare our troops and horses, raise our strength and expand our forces—you know, we can only be kings when we win in the end!"
Su Xiaofeng laughed sharply, and stretched out his thumb: "It turns out that the military master has another trick, high, high, really high!"
Peng Kun proudly scratched Su Xiaofeng's nose: "Your boy is right to follow me, it's for your benefit."
"I will be loyal to the military division, work hard for the military division, and am willing to give up my life anytime, anywhere."
"You don't need to sacrifice your life, just give you two major tasks to complete."
"Which two tasks?"
Peng Kun said: "In addition to inquiring about the situation outside, we must also pay attention to the inside. As the saying goes, 'a dike of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest'. Internal traitors are more dangerous than foreign enemies. Whoever talks about me behind my back or has dissatisfaction, you have to remember every word , report to me at any time!"
Su Xiaofeng came down from the fourth floor and came to the second floor pretending to be visiting.When Deng Daqing came back from Peng Kun, he felt that someone was following him, so he told Mao Guoqing: "Go and watch outside, and tell Su Xiaofeng bluntly that the hall master and the military adviser are discussing matters, and reject all outsiders!"
Xu Chengming said: "We have already suffered a lot from Peng Kun. He won't play any tricks this time, will he?"
Deng Daqing didn't answer directly: "To tell you the truth, I have long planned to go to the wharf for development. As Peng Kun said, it will definitely be a place for all the halls to compete for in the future. This time he didn't lie to us."
Xu Chengming breathed a sigh of relief: "This way I can rest assured. You are more responsible for making suggestions, and I will take care of the charge. In short, although you can't achieve a hegemony, at least you have to stand firm and not be eaten by others."
"What the hall master said is very true." Deng Daqing said, "As far as our current economic situation is concerned, we can't delay any longer. We must take immediate action to develop all the way eastward from Shanghuan to extract protection from all berths, container companies, and dock workers. fee."
Xu Chengming said: "Okay, act now!"
It is said that Chen Yuxiang took the lead in establishing the "Hongshengtang" in Hong Kong in order to unite the forces of all walks of life as a backup in case of disputes, to evaluate a fairness, and to share peace with the world and not to be bullied by evil forces.
Unexpectedly, not only did Hong Kong not become "peaceful" because of this, in fact, since the emergence of more than a dozen churches in this small place, the struggle between individuals and individuals, or between a few people and a few people in the past, has turned into a battle between churches and churches. In the struggle between the halls and mouths, swords and guns often met, and for a while, under the Taiping Mountain, swords and blood were seen, and grievances were reciprocated.The first was the dispute between "Hongyitang" and "Sanshanhui" at the Sheung Wan Ferry Pier, resulting in the corpses of more than a dozen members of "Hongyitang" lying on the seashore. Since the grievances between gangsters and gangsters were not reported to the authorities, the police rushed them after hearing the news. By then, more than a dozen bodies had been swept away by the waves.Let this matter go.
Then, Xiang Kewu and Zeng Yingyong, the bodyguards of the Wangfa Casino, were killed in the Taoyuan brothel. The well-known Chinese congressman Wu Ping covered up the matter with a sex scandal.
When the "Sanshanhui" and "Hong Qunle" got into a fire at the Wangfa Casino, this incident attracted the attention of the Hong Kong Royal Police.Who would have thought that after a wave of unrest, the "Sanshan Club" and "Hongyitang" clashed again at the mouth of the puddle, causing countless casualties, especially the justice of the peace Liang Zaitang, who was devastated, and the Royal Police had to come forward to suppress it... The Royal Police Department Director McDanghan led 300 well-trained Royal Police, relying on sophisticated and advanced weapons and equipment, patrolling every major road in Hong Kong day and night, and at the same time, imposed massacres on members of the "Sanshan Club" and "Hongyitang" Large-scale arrests... Mo Qiqing, Huang Shaorong, and Lei Jin from "Sanshanhui"; The media published a wanted arrest warrant and offered to take it.Mo Qiqing and Peng Kun had to hide temporarily to avoid the momentum.
The bloody cases of "Sanshanhui" and "Hongyitang" are being investigated, and there is another storm in Hong Kong's piers.
The reason is that in order to expand his power, Hong Qunle took the lead in reaching out to the pier and reaping certain benefits, so swarms of people flocked to the pier, and for a time there were flames of war and wars, murders every day, and gunshots every day... ...McDanghan was so busy that he made a request to the Governor of Hong Kong, hoping that Her Majesty the Queen would send more police, and a bloodier "anti-triad" mopping up war began.
McDanghan adopted the tactics of "fighting in, pulling out" and "carpet sweeping", which dealt a fatal blow to all the churches. For a while, most of the vigorous Hong Kong Hongmen organizations died down, and turned from open to underground... The public identity of "Hongyitang" is the owner of Wangfa Gambling House; Once the information is reported in time, the Royal Police can organize a group of police to drive there within half an hour.Anyone who catches the troublemaker will be arrested and "cane cane" in public.
In this stormy bloody battle, only "Hong Shengtang" remained intact from the beginning to the end.First, Chen Yuxiang, the head of "Hongshengtang", took "benevolence and righteousness" as the purpose of running the hall, and avoided confrontation with others; , and even has a good reputation in the world.
According to legend, Chen Yuxiang; in addition, "Hong Shengtang" itself is very strong. In the days when the various halls were busy fighting and fighting every day, they devoted all their energy to practicing martial arts and guns, which caused a kind of shock to the forces who dared to invade him. Invisible threat.In the current situation, Chen Yuxiang feels heartbroken, often complains to himself, and wants to organize a conference to gather all the halls of Hong Kong.Military advisor Wen Gui persuaded: "Master, why are you bothering? It's going to rain, mother is going to get married, they're going to ask for trouble, fight with others and get into trouble, what have you got to do with it?"
Chen Yuxiang shook his head: "If I hadn't founded the 'Hong Sheng Tang' in the first place, there would be no bloodbath and misery today."
Wen Gui shook his head and smiled wryly, feeling hopeless at Chen Yuxiang's almost stupid "benevolence and righteousness", and said sarcastically: "The hall master probably became obsessed with watching "Water Margin", and imitated Song Jiang's 'foolish loyalty' to come home!"
"How can I compare with Song Jiang?" Chen Yuxiang didn't think Wen Gui was being sarcastic, so he said solemnly: "Think about Song Gongming's 107 people who are more capable than him, but everyone obeys him. You say, he relies on What? It's nothing more than the word 'loyalty'. The word 'loyalty' is the most difficult to learn and has the deepest connotation in the world. After learning it, it will be more effective than any eighteen martial arts. If I can match one-third of his One is enough."
Wen Gui sneered and said: "I think the hall master is even worse than Song Gongming. After all, the Song surnamed put forward the slogan of 'only attacking corrupt officials, not against the emperor', but our hall master can even kill mortal enemies." Be patient!" Chen Baiwei, who was sitting next to him, had been silent all the time, but seeing Wen Gui dare to ridicule the hall master, he couldn't hold back any longer, and said: "Our hall master is Song Gongming, so Wu Yongfei must be Wen Junjun's teacher. This is very similar, the strategy of a military adviser is not inferior to Wu Yong. However, as far as I know, you are a little bit different." "That's not like?" Wen Gui was very proud to see Chen Baiwei comparing him with Wu Yong, He also said that he didn't look alike at all, and he didn't think too deeply, only consulted the following.
Chen Baiwei said: "Wu Yong has always obeyed Song Jiang's words, he has no ambiguity, and he will never say impolite words."
Wen Gui blushed with shame.
Seeing this, Chen Yuxiang hurriedly smoothed things over: "What's the matter with you two? You are both from your own family!" Regardless of these, Chen Baiwei stood up and said: "The hall master said well, the most difficult thing to write in the world is the word 'loyalty', Don't talk about the distance, just talk about the present, if the church didn't abide by the rules of the hall master, and joined Peng Kun and the others in the ranks of you killing me and fighting, can the brothers be so safe today?" He Nan, Fu Linghua, Wen Gui and the others seemed to realize something when they were touched. He Nan nodded and said, "That makes sense." Chen Baiwei said, "It's not 'reasonable', but very reasonable. Those who can persist until the end in the world have history." Since then, it has not been those who strive for strength, but often those heroes who bear the humiliation and bear the weight of their righteousness will eventually win the world! These heavenly masters discussed with me, and in view of the current unfavorable situation, they want to plan a Hongmen meeting to bring together all the halls in Hong Kong. United together, aiming to prevent similar fights from happening in the future. This idea is very good. If it succeeds, it will be the first meritorious event in the history of Hong Kong's rivers and lakes, not only for the hall master himself, but also for the prestige of our entire "Hong Sheng Tang" in the rivers and lakes will improve!"
When Wen Gui heard this, he nodded unconsciously, and praised: "The master's move is really a wise move, I support it!" After finishing speaking, he whispered to others: "If this matter is done , Hall Master’s contribution to Jianghu can be described as immeasurable!"
Chen Yuxiang's face glowed red, and he said: "I, Mr. Chen, only think about the common interests of the brothers in the rivers and lakes, and have no idea of utilitarian fame. Anyone who sells fame and reputation in the rivers and lakes is not a real person." Hero. To be honest, the Hongmen meeting I organized was not my original creation, but was inspired by the predecessors of Hongmen. As early as July 25, the eleventh year of Yongzheng, Chen Jinnan, Cai Dezhong, and Wan Yunlong held it at Baihe Taoist Temple in Hubei The first Hongmen meeting in history was held, also known as the 'Honghua Pavilion'. This time, Chen is really picking up people's teeth, and it's too late to feel ashamed. How dare he accept the word 'merit'?"
Seeing Chen Yuxiang's sincerity, everyone admired him from the bottom of their hearts. Even Wen Gui, who often thought he was not half as good as Chen Baiwei, had a feeling of "being apart for three days" towards him.
Next, Chen Yuxiang revealed all his plans and plans, assigned tasks, printed invitation letters and distributed them to every hall.
The purpose of this Hongmen meeting is to hope that all halls can participate, and the location is set at the fish drying ground in Xiao Kei Wan. The reason is that it is near the sea and the terrain is remote, so it will not attract the attention of the police.
The invitation letter was drafted by Fu Linghua and signed by Chen Yuxiang when it was distributed.
After repeated revisions several times, everyone thought that there was no problem before finalizing the draft. The invitation letter was written very sincerely, and the starting point was quite clear. As long as you are a serious Jianghu person, you will not give up this Hongmen conference after reading this invitation letter.
Finally, when choosing the site, Chen Baiwei expressed his opinion. He said: "I believe that the vast majority of Jianghu people are loyal and courageous heroes, but there is no guarantee that there will be no treacherous people. Historically, Jianghu Heroes emerge in endlessly, and there are also scumbags, I suggest that the address on the invitation be written as Wanchai Wharf, and then take a boat to Shau Kei Wan after the assembly is complete."
Wen Gui was the first to applaud: "The deputy hall master's suggestion is very good. Don't be afraid of 10,000 in everything, but just in case. As long as there is a scum in each hall and report to the police, it will be troublesome. According to me Look at the address on the invitation letter and write Xiyingpan or Sheung Wan at the end, so that one east and one west, the farther the distance, the greater the safety factor." Chen Yuxiang nodded in agreement.
There are currently 16 halls in all sizes in Hong Kong, and some people suggested that Peng Kun should not be allowed to attend.Chen Yuxiang believes that "Hongyi Hall" is one of the three hall entrances in Hong Kong, and he cannot be absent.
Everyone took the "invitation letter" and distributed it separately.
As expected, Chen Yuxiang's suggestion aroused strong repercussions in Hong Kong, and everyone said that this "Hongmen meeting" should have been held long ago.There are also quite a few people who praised Chen Yuxiang, among them, Mo Qiqing from "Three Mountains Club", Xu Chengming from "Hong Qunle", etc., replied to the post, thanking Chen Yuxiang for doing a great deed of great merit.
Everything has both positive and negative sides, even if Chen Yuxiang organizes this great event that is beneficial to the world, some people are worried about it all day long.
Ever since Peng Kun received Chen Yuxiang's "invitation letter", an unknown fire has been unstoppable.
In this great melee, "Hong Sheng Tang" did not lose any troops, and he felt a little jealous about it. Now that he is doing this trick again, after the incident, the status and prestige of "Hong Sheng Tang" in Hong Kong will increase day by day... Everyone has a heart, but people with horse faces are more narrow-minded, how can Peng Kun allow others to surpass him.
The next day, Peng Kun ordered Su Xiaofeng to go around to inquire about the reaction of various halls to this matter.
At noon, Su Xiaofeng told the truth about the reactions heard outside, such as "Looking forward to nectar", "Teacher Chen's merits are immeasurable", and "Have done a great thing"... Su Xiaofeng didn't know Peng Kun's intentions, so he didn't know Peng Kun's intentions when he spoke. With the emotional color of admiration, at the end of the speech, he was slapped heavily on both cheeks...Su Xiaofeng cried: "Oh, you hit me...?"
"I want to kill you!" Peng Kun slapped you twice again.
Holding her face in her hands, Su Xiaofeng realized that Peng Kun's pony face had turned purple, and his teeth were biting his lips until he bled, so he realized that he had made a mistake.
Peng Kun scolded viciously: "Eat things that are skinned inside and out, how dare you praise my enemy, be careful to skin you!"
Su Xiaofeng said: "I don't know, I hope the military division will tell me——Chen Yuxiang's convening of the Hongmen meeting is not good for us?"
"Yeah, it's very unfavorable," Peng Kun sighed, "If the Hongmen Conference is successfully held, the reputation of 'Hongshengtang' will rise in the Jianghu from now on, and Chen Yuxiang's name will be like a thunderbolt...Our 'Hongyitang' has been very energetic after this toss There is already a gap between us and others, if Chen Yuxiang's plot succeeds, wouldn't our great cause of dominating the Jianghu be in the foreseeable future?"
Su Xiaofeng nodded again and again: "Young one understands this time."
Peng Kun shook his head and sighed: "Chen Yuxiang and Mo Qiqing both have capable subordinates, but I am alone, raising you useless waste."
Su Xiaofeng scratched his head: "Military Master, this is the best way. I heard people say that the military master is jealous of the virtuous and capable. If someone in 'Hong Yitang' surpasses the military master, the military master will not tolerate it."
Peng Kunma's face stretched: "Who said that?!"
Su Xiaofeng: "'Sanshanhui', 'Hong Qunle', and many people in the same hall said so. They also said that you would be jealous of Chen Yuxiang organizing the conference."
Peng Kun said: "That's someone else's slander, don't listen to it."
"Yes, we don't listen." Su Xiaofeng asked again after a while, "Military Master, Chen Yuxiang is so unfavorable to us, this time..."
Peng Kun nodded: "I will never allow Chen Yuxiang to hold the Hongmen Conference smoothly!" "But we will have few soldiers, and we are not their opponents..."
Peng Kun: "You invite Councilor Wu Ping to come here, I have a reason."
"Yes, the little one will go."
"Call Su Xiaofei to see me first."
Su Xiaofeng agreed, and when he went out, he yelled strangely: "Tell Su Xiaofei, the military adviser has orders!"
Su Xiaofei came in immediately and asked, "What orders does the military advisor have?"
Peng Kun said: "Use my car to Taoyuan Garden to pick up Miss Xiaoxiao." When Su Xiaofei heard that he was being asked to go to the brothel, he regained his energy immediately and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao? Hehe, I'll go pick him up right away. "
Miss Xiaoxiao is today's red-card aunt. She is only twenty years old. She is not only beautiful, but also good at singing and dancing. Many high-ranking officials are very fascinated by her, but few of them actually get it. Because of this, her worth is getting higher and higher. high.
In interacting with Xiaoxiao, Peng Kun learned that Xiaoxiao is not an ordinary prostitute.Once Peng Kun said to her: "If you hang it up and sell it, you can get a good price, but the fruit that has been aged for a long time loses its freshness and is no longer valuable." Xiaoxiao is a very smart woman, and she immediately knew what Peng Kun meant. What should she do when she is old, so she sighed: "I also know this truth very well. Although I have a good plan, I suffer from no support. I once counted on Wu Ping to help me, but he values reputation more than women. I and His relationship has always remained as an ordinary friend." Peng Kun asked: "Do you want to open a brothel?" He smiled and said: "It seems that you are still a considerate man." So the two had a conversation, The more you talk, the more speculative you are.It turns out that Peng Kun also intends to open a brothel, using the entire floor of Wangfa Gambling House as a site, but there is no expert candidate, and when he meets Xiaoxiao, it can be said that Ximenqing met Pan Jinlian.When it came to the end, Xiaoxiao had a lot of ambitions, she didn't expect that besides a promise with her body, the brothel belonged to her personally, and when the business was completed, she would repay the loan.Peng Kun is not a fool, how can he take his money with a smile and live in his building to do things for himself?In the end, he also responded with a smile: "Miss, if you are so high-profile, then give me some advice—fortunately, there are many women in the world, and I haven't heard of any men who have been raped to death." After that, Peng Kun never looked for Xiaoxiao again.But I heard that Wu Ping still has a deep affection for her. If you want to win Wu Ping, of course you can only use the card of smiling.
Wangfa Gambling House is very close to Taohuayuan, greeted by a Chevrolet car, Xiaoxiao came quickly.
There was the sound of high-heeled leather shoes knocking on the corridor, and then I didn't see the person, but I heard his voice first: "Ah, I don't know which nerve is wrong with Mr. Peng, I suddenly remembered me today!" Listening to the tender, trembling With a loud voice, Peng Kun backed away from the left and right, and went up to meet him with a smiling hand, but saw that the five fingers were as white and tender as lotus root, and the four small meat pockets on the back of the hand were full of temptation, and the whole body was covered in hands. Crispy.
Xiaoxiao gently pulled out her hand, and sat down decently keeping a distance from Peng Kun.It can be seen that she is experienced in this way. I don't know how many prostitutes who want to take advantage of it fail to do so.She is well versed in a man's psychology, if he gets it all at once, he will find it boring.
Peng Kun didn't have much mood at the moment, so he went straight to the point: "Miss Xiaoxiao requested that day. After I came back, I thought twice, and I am willing to give up the third floor to you, and temporarily borrow 10,000 oceans for you to use as start-up capital." Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a while. , felt too sudden. Based on her many years of experience, she knew that Peng Kun was not the kind of man who puts beauty above everything else. She lit a cigar, exhaled a series of beautiful smoke rings, and asked coldly : "What conditions?"
Peng Kun swallowed his saliva: "Don't speak so harshly, are you not allowed to show courteousness to you?"
Smiling and sneering, he said with a sneer: "Mr. Peng, don't go around in circles. Han should be more straightforward. I have to think about your conditions."
Peng Kun withdrew his smile: "Cheer up. I don't mince words. I have something to ask Wu Ping for help. I don't tell you what is unnecessary. In short, let him be comfortable and listen to me obediently." "I say yes What's so difficult, it turns out to be like this." A faint smile appeared on Xiaoxiao's face, "I can promise you, but I'm not allowed to play tricks, I have to make a letter, and it's best to have Wu Ping as a witness." Peng Kun said: "It really is a I promise you all the powerful characters, as long as you can satisfy our Senator Wu." Said Seismic and leaned towards him fascinated.
"It is said that Miss Xiaoxiao is hard to get, like the stars and the moon in the sky, you can only look at it, but not touch it. Today, I not only want to touch it, but also hug it."
Xiaoxiao half pushed in Peng Kun's arms: "Mr. Peng, I advise you not to approach me. The stars and moon in the sky are only for people to see. It's boring to touch. It's very cold."
Peng Kun laughed and said, "How do you know that the stars and the moon are very cold? Could it be that you can go to the sky?"
He smiled and said angrily: "You are still a military adviser, and you don't even understand this question. There is a poem written like this—"When will the bright moon come? Ask the wine to the blue sky; I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is it. I want to ride When the wind returns, I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu, the heights are extremely cold, dancing and playing with beautiful shadows, it seems to be in the world.' Here it is very clear, the heights are the coldest."
"I almost forgot, Miss Xiaoxiao is still a poetess, for this reason, I have to 'print' it for you, and it's worth getting to know you once."
"Printing" is the jargon of the rivers and lakes, which means having a physical relationship with a woman.Peng Kun was about to make a fuss when he suddenly heard coughing outside the door, followed by Su Xiaofeng's voice: "Report to the military adviser, Senator Wu is here!" Peng Kun hurriedly hid Xiaoxiao in the room.
Wu Ping's attire today is a long gown, a civilized stick, a top hat, and a pair of golden eyes.
Since Liang Zaitang's death, Wu Ping has also been here twice at the invitation of Peng Kun, but the relationship is only superficial and there is no deep friendship.
Peng Kun ushered Wu Ping into the living room, made tea, turned around, and sat next to each other on the sofa like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Peng Kun first giggled "hehe" twice as a greeting, and then ignored the business and said in a low voice, "Let's relax completely today, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about our men's most private things, the congressman won't mind?" Wu Ping didn't know. What was Peng Kun's intention? He didn't just nod his head, but the topic Peng Kun asked surprised him: "How many women have the councilor played with in his life? Is it more than three hundred?"
Wu Ping was embarrassed at first, seeing Peng Kun's serious face: "I'm not greedy for too much, only quality."
Peng Kun laughed "haha", and got closer to Wu Ping, putting his hands on his shoulders: "I'm the same as the congressmen, I don't want too much, I just want the best."
Wu Ping finally relaxed completely, and leaned over his head: "Which red card aunts have you played with?"
Peng Kun then counted the red card aunts of Guangzhou Restaurant, Taohuayuan Restaurant and Jinling Restaurant.
Wu Ping slapped his fleshy hands with a smile and said, "They are also my friends."
Peng Kun sighed suddenly: "However, no matter how beautiful these red card aunts are, they can't match one person."
"Who?"
Peng Kun glanced at Wu Ping secretly, and said, "Miss Xiaoxiao... To tell you the truth, I am very fascinated by Miss Xiaoxiao, but it is a pity that I can't get it."
Hearing this, Wu Ping also had a dejected expression on his face, rubbing his hands together non-stop.
"Mr. Wu, are you talking about Miss Xiaoxiao?"
Wu Ping sighed: "That's good, but this little lady is so good at playing with men, I can say that I've flattered her enough, to this day, I haven't even touched my fingers."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Oh, wanting it and not getting it—it's such a bad feeling."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Peng Kun tried to ask: "I heard that Xiaoxiao said that whoever can support her in running a brothel is willing to commit herself to whomever, is there such a thing?"
"She told me many times, it's not that I'm reluctant to spend some money, but my identity..."
Peng Kun said: "Help me pass the message to her. I have long wanted to turn the floor below into a prostitute village. I need an expert like her. You say—"
Wu Ping's eyes turned green immediately, and he asked, "Do you really think so?"
Peng Kun nodded seriously: "A gentleman has no jokes."
Wu Ping patted the sofa: "This is good, but how do you thank me?"
Peng Kun said, "I'll give you Xiaoxiao!"
Wu Ping was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, patting Peng Kun's shoulder, and the two of them bent forward and backward in laughter.
Wu Ping is a politician in the officialdom for a long time, and he has been in contact with various people. He knows that Peng Kun must ask him for something, so he is not polite, and said: "Then I would rather be respectful than obedient."
Peng Kun also became serious at this time: "Mr. Wu, just play it safe. This Wangfa gambling house turned out to be the property of your old friend Liang Zaitang. I guarantee that no one will suspect that the member is here to ask for flowers." Wu Ping knew that Peng Kun would soon cut in. On the topic, instead of letting him speak first, it is better to take the initiative, which is also a common tactic in official circles, saying: "Mr. Peng invited me today—" Peng Kun said: "I have no other intention to invite members to come today. I wonder if the Hong Kong government has recently What news, can you disclose one or two?"
Wu Ping said: "How can there be no news in Hong Kong? I'm afraid Mr. Peng won't be very interested if you tell me about it. For example, Her Majesty the Queen summoned the governor..." Of course Peng Kun was not interested in these things, so he went straight to the point: "For example, what actions the police have taken recently..."
Wu Ping said with a smile: "I knew you would be interested in this matter. The police have been very busy recently. The workers were affected by the mainland and went on strike. Police Chief McDanghan is very busy."
Peng Kun said: "I am willing to assist the police in cracking down on the strikers, and I hope that the congressman will introduce you more."
"Of course that's good. McDonald has also asked many times whether there is any civil power that can be used in Hong Kong. I will recommend you to him immediately when I go back--it's not that I underestimate you. In history, gang power has always been difficult to achieve. The ultimate goal is to rely on the government. Ting Zhaoan, like Song Jiang in "Water Margin", has 107 generals under his command, and he is always looking forward to the early success."
彭昆道：“不瞒你说，我这次邀你，是想向政府透露一个重要的情报。”说着，呈上陈余祥给他的“邀请函”。
伍平接过细看，大惊：“这不就是谋反么？”
“正是。陈余祥联合所有堂口，目的就是想让他的势力超过皇家警察，你一定要转呈麦当汉。”
伍平把“邀请函”叠好，揣进怀里：“这情报很重要，我一定要亲自交给总督。这还了得，目下正是罢工热潮，麦当汉哪里还忙得过来，闹下去总督不被赶走才怪呢。”
“陈余祥目的就是要赶走总督，由他执掌，还说香港本来就是中国人的土地，不允许英国人在这里当权，他很有煽动性，一下子纠集了大批人马。”伍平点头：“好，好，这些情报都很重要，汇报到总督那里，有你一份功劳！”
彭昆一脸灿烂，想到就要与总督勾结上，心里很高兴。
伍平起身，说：“我马上带你去见麦当汉，他和我的关系不错。”“议员先别急，”彭昆说着把室内的门开了：“你看看这里还有谁。”伍平把胖胖的身子往前倾，他看见了笑笑……
在香港皇家警署，麦当汉接见了彭昆。
麦当汉四十岁上下，高高的鼻子，金黄的头发，身材魁梧，操一口半生半熟的汉语官话，双手交叉在胸前，听完彭昆的汇报，又问了几个问题，然后长久沉默。
伍平于是知道——该离开了。
彭昆兴致勃勃而来，虽不指望与麦当汉一见如故，以为最起码会受到热情的接待，根本没曾想到会是这样。
伍平也感到面子挂不住，愤愤道：“世界上就数我们中华民族是礼义之帮。这些英国猪，狗眼看人低！”
彭昆是最善察颜观色的，他从麦当汉的眼神里看出，这家伙根本瞧不起什么“洪义堂”的军师，仅把他当一个普通的报案者而已。一位警察署署长尚且如此，那港督就更加傲慢了，幸亏还没有贸然走访。
一种距离感油然而生，同时也使自己清醒，要在香港出人头地还有一段遥远的路程。
转眼间便过了年，洪门大会召开的时间一天天迫近。一日伍平带来麦当汉的口信，说警署对“洪门大会”很重视，届时将派大批警力弹压，要彭昆做好监视工作，如时间、地点有变动，应及时汇报。
为此，彭昆又窝了一肚子气，心想如不是想借机会阻止洪门大会的召开，老子才懒得接受这种趾高气扬的“指示”。
伍平这些天正为笑笑办妓寨的事催彭昆遵守承诺。彭昆没有反悔，一方面他还要利用伍平，今后如果要找英国人做靠山，他可以起到桥梁作用。另一方，妓寨是开在旺发赌馆，不愁控制，到时盘过来就得了。
到最后，他连麦当汉的冷淡也理解了，认为一位警署署长与三教九流的黑道人物其距离是不能以里程计的。如果过份责求，说明自己也太沉不住气了。因此，他令苏小枫带领大批情报人员，四处打听，得知洪门会的召开时间、地点均无变动。
正月十五，彭昆一早令苏小飞向麦当汉汇报，说一切按原计划行动，自己则领着苏小枫去指定的地点与陈余祥接头。
指定的地点在西营盘一个建筑工地上，彭昆驾着他的雪佛莱赶到，还要下车步行半里路。
车路到了尽头，彭昆没有急着下去，在车上等候。
一会，只见一辆货车停在不远处，车上跳下几十个英国人，这些英国人都是一般的商客打扮，下来后，四散分开，货车一溜烟开走。
彭昆当然知道这些人是干什么的，但不知底的人都会忽略，因为这西营盘是新开发区，来来往往的陌生人很多。
接下来每隔数分钟都开来一辆货车，跳下几十个人，到了最后一趟，只见一个戴着墨镜的英国人在一位矮个子的带领下向这边走来。彭昆立即摇下玻璃，戴墨镜的高个正是麦当汉，小个子是带他过来的苏小飞。
麦当汉来到彭昆的车前，问道：“他们都来了？”彭昆道：“绝对会来。麦先生是看过邀请书的，那上面还有陈余祥的亲笔签名，不会假？”“中国人很狡滑，常用什么'声东击西'之计，我的意思你懂么？”“一开始我就考虑过这问题了，防着他们到时是去另外一个地方，以避免警方的耳目。”
麦当汉点头：“你很聪明，明白我的意思，你说万一出现这种情况怎么办？”
“很好处理。”彭昆说，“在香港我们'洪义堂'是三大堂口之一，无论他怎么换地方都会通知我，跟着就能找到他们？”
麦当汉连连点头：“OK，说得好。”
据苏小枫汇报，早在一个月以前，陈余祥就开始在西营盘做准备。具体地点选在一片新填的陆地上，那里早有两个小岛屿，中间填上土，既背风，又幽静，且不惹人耳目，是个最理想的秘密聚会点。
彭昆看了看表，感到苏小枫该回来了，可是仍不见踪影，准备派苏小飞过去看看。
恰在这时，苏小枫上气不接下气跑来：“报、报告军师，陈百威要你过去。”
彭昆道：“为什么去了这么长时间？”
苏小枫说：“那条路很不好走，看上去没多远，走起来要走好久，我已经尽了最大的努力，用了最快的速度。”
“已经来了多少堂口？”
“报告军师，地址临时改变。”
“改在何处？”
“陈百威说要军师亲自过去听通知。”
麦当汉、彭昆面面相觑。
“署长，你看怎么办？”
麦当汉果断地说：“我跟你一起去！”
彭昆、麦当汉的助手克拉克、苏氏兄弟一路五个走过一片工地，进入到新填的陆地。
麦当汉四下张望，他的手下已埋伏好了，单等他一声命令，马上可以执行任务。现在情况有变，当然只能去看看再做决定。
“依我看，陈余祥一定是个很厉害的家伙。”
彭昆见麦当汉夸赞陈余祥，先是极不舒服继而顺水推舟道：“那当然，不厉害香港这么多堂口就不会服他。这家伙野心相当大，扬言要称霸香港。”麦当汉很不高兴，说：“他称霸香港，那我是干什么吃的？”
“他连总督都瞧不上眼，口口声声要赶回英国去，你就更不会放在他眼里了。”
麦当汉被彭昆三言两语挑拨得火冒三丈：“这个陈余祥，太目中无人了，我非要给他点颜色看看！”
通过一片高低不平的新填地，进入到两个小岛屿之间的一片空地，这片空地显然是经过精心修整的，十分平坦，东边方向还有一个松木扎成的大擂台。
麦当汉本打算多带些人来，又恐打草惊蛇，给他们逃走的机会。
场地上空无一人，彭昆正纳闷，靠海边的小岛上一位潮州口音的黑汉子招手道：“这边来，大家都在等彭军师一个人！”
彭昆一行糊里糊涂地走过去，水里有一艘船，因被岛屿挡住，所以不惹人注意。
彭昆认得向他招手的是莫启青的手下黄绍荣，根据新会规，从今天起，所有仇恨一笔勾销，是敌人也要成为朋友，因此黄绍荣开口叫他。
“黄先生，新地点在哪里？”彭昆问道。
“不知道，你过来吧，陈副堂主在船上等你，他会告诉你的！”
五个人鱼贯，登上船。麦当汉意识到不妙，正要拔枪，说时迟，那时快，黄绍荣飞快地从他腰上把枪摘下，接着又在他的裆部搜出一把左轮。这时陈百威从船舱里钻出来问道：“彭军师，这俩个洋人是干什么的？”彭昆慌了半秒钟，答道：“是我新请的洋保镖。也算是本堂会员，今天特来参加洪门大会。”
陈百威向麦当汉抱拳：“欢迎参加我们的洪门大会。按会规，不许携带任何武器入场。”
“请问新会址在哪里？”麦当汉机械地学着中国礼节，用生硬的中国话问道。
陈百威笑道：“海里。开船！”
麦当汉、克拉克被陈百威、黄绍荣挟在中间，彭昆暗暗叫苦，害怕两个英国人不知天高地厚中途动手，害得自己也保不了命，一路递眼色，示意不要轻举妄动。
船的速度很快，为了迷惑岸上的警察，故意向相反的方向开了几里才折回来，然后汇杂在一些渔船里向东边方向行驶。
原来陈百威早就提防彭昆报警，因为这是他的一惯做法，最后决定后，有意在西营盘地区选了一处地点并加以修整，迷惑彭昆，一边严守密秘。到了开会的这一天，选了几个武功好的来这里接应，果然发现有大批警察尾随。陈百威知道警方不见大批人是不会轻易行动的，抓住这弱点很轻松地把彭昆几个弄上了船。
现在彭昆只有一心一意出席“洪门会”了，两个洋人麦当汉、克拉克也只能以“洪义堂”会员身份出席大会。
彭昆估计会场可能就在中环附近，中午时分，船果然在筲箕湾晒鱼场靠岸。
陈百威、彭昆等人一上船，立即受到陈余祥的夹道欢迎。
春天的筲箕湾在接连下过很久的雨后有了一个难得的多云天气，海风不大，气候宜人，今天这里十分热闹，人山人海。
彭昆在这里见到了他的所有仇人。他的仇人在大会的精神驱使下，都向他伸出诚恳的手，愿意化干戈为玉帛。
十二点正，举行了开会仪式。
因怕警方捣乱，神台是临时在东边的山坡上用木桩和木板搭成个擂台式的高台。
陈余祥站在擂台上，向众人出示自己在大陆被授予“红旗五哥”的委任状，然后杀鸡祭奠洪门开山祖陈近南、万云龙、蔡德忠等前五祖。
陈余祥主祭，按仪式行大礼，全体洪门组织以堂口为单位，全部跟着跪下。
祭毕，陈余祥请各堂负责人登台，开始宣讲洪门组织的本源及一些基本规矩礼节。
陈余祥特别提到雍正十一年七月二十五日洪门史上著名的“红花亭”大结义。
当时参加的人数有二千多人，与目下香港的洪门大会人数相等。但是，那时候的两千多名洪门前辈都是团结一致反清复明，为成就大业奋斗。而今天，香港各洪门组织却是为了相互之间争地盘、夺利益而大打出手，自相残杀，最后招致英国警察的弹压。
陈余祥说到这里的时候，痛声疾首，声泪俱下：“弟兄们，我们背井离乡，来到这英国人统治下的地盘，无非是为了谋生、求财，让全家的日子过得好一点，万万不该动辄殴斗，动枪动刀……今天，我组织这个洪门大会，不是为了沽名钓誉，只要从此太平山下真正太平了，我陈某人死了也心甘。我们洪门会，在这个新的历史环境下，应该有新的指导思想，新的洪门宗旨。万事'和'为贵，从今以后，所有的恩恩怨怨大事化小，小事化了，大家同在一片土地上，没有什么过不去的，为了记住今天这个有意义的时刻，我建议凡参加过这次洪门大会的堂口，都在堂口旧名称的前面把'洪'字改为'和'字，比如我们'洪胜堂'，今后就叫'和洪胜'。”全场一片雷鸣般的掌声。这次洪门大会开得相当成功，可谓群情激昂，各堂口早就盼望着这一天，都说如果没有陈余祥出面组织这次大会，江湖将会更加混乱不堪，冤冤相报，过不了多久就要被皇家警察全部巢灭。会议到了最后，陈余祥高举起手臂，尽可能地大声说道：“从即日起，我们香港洪门就是一家了，大家要和平相处，有福同享，有难同当，万一发生纠纷摩擦，只能通过'讲数'方式解决，非万不得已时，不得诉诸武力，即使到了非打不可的地步，也要协商指定时间地点，一决雌雄。不论胜负的任何一方，绝不能惊动皇家警察！”陈余祥的话音甫落，全场又是一阵热烈的掌声。
陈余祥提倡以“和”为贵，化干戈为玉帛。事实上，没有吃过亏的堂口愿意“和”，但有血债的堂口表示人争口气，佛争柱香，哪怕明摆着要输，也要讨个“说法”。
实际上，陈余祥几经努力，苦口婆心，还是阻止不了“决斗”，有六对堂口提出决一雌雄，让所有的人做见证，其中包括“洪胜堂”的何香珠为母亲报仇向“洪义堂”提出“决斗”。
陈余祥无奈，只好提出细则，六个吃了亏的堂口由于占了理，有权选定决斗方式，方式分“械斗”和“徒手斗”。“械斗”是双方各选一名枪法准的，再选一个僻静之处，枪内只许有一粒子弹，拉开距离，双方做好准备，然后同时射击，不管打中与否，双方的恩怨从此一笔勾销。“徒手斗”则是通常的“打擂”，双方各派一名武林高手，本堂若没有，也可聘请，在众目睽睽之下打斗。
无论“械斗”还是“徒手斗”，都本着一个“公道”的出发点，不使任何一方有怨言。
六对有恩怨的堂口，按理是十二个堂口，其实不然，这中间有彭昆的“洪义堂”同时与莫启青、陈余祥有恩怨；许成名和“洪群乐”同时与莫启青、钟盛富有恩怨。
“械斗”的地点选在晒鱼场东边角的一片空地里，这里较僻静。凡愿意械斗的堂口先在神台前上了香，拜祭陈近南等先祖，发了誓。仪式毕，各选出一名代表，赤手空拳，到了现场再由陈余祥亲手分发验证只有一粒子弹的左轮手枪，然后双方射击，打完了，这两枝枪日后便是专作“械斗”的公用武器。
几轮“械斗”毕，有打死的，也有重伤的，这事从此便了结了，最为热闹是擂台上的“徒手斗”，吸引了所有的与会者。
“洪义堂”这次来的人数最少，陈余祥提出可以改日。
以“洪义堂”会员身份出席大会的皇家警署署长麦当汉及助手克拉克本想中途悄悄开溜组织力量扫荡，无奈陈百威、黄绍荣盯得特别死，一直不曾有机会。到最后只有安心看热闹了。
在看台上打擂之际，彭昆见麦当汉看得十分投入，便悄声问身边的克拉克：“署长的武功怎么样？”
克拉克以为彭昆在借中国功夫轻视他们英国人，说道：“我们署长在伦敦拳击赛中获过大奖，台上那些花拳绣腿只怕还禁不起我们三拳两脚！”这话正中彭昆下怀，附着麦当汉耳朵：“署长，这可是千载难逢的机会，只要你有好功夫，我与其他堂口的恩怨也不必改日了，等一会我提出与陈余祥决斗，除去他，比你出动警力弹压效果还好。”
麦当汉觉得这确是一个难得的机会，擒贼擒王，如果真能与陈余祥决斗，除去他倒是一件奇功。点头道：“好是好，我也有此意，只怕陈余祥不愿出面交手。”
彭昆见麦当汉已答应，喜不自禁，今天与会的堂主当中，最令他头痛的就是陈余祥，如果能够除掉他，等于给他的霸业扫除了一大障碍，因此极力怂恿：“署长放心，陈余祥今天出足了风头，只要你点名要他，他没有理由拒绝。中国的江湖人都把名誉看得比生命还重，我担心的是——”
麦当汉明白彭昆后面没说出的是什么，鼻子里哼了一声，说道：“我已经看了几场打斗，你们中国功夫，恕我直言，不敢恭唯！”
彭昆目的正是要激他，没想到这英国佬这么容易上圈套，笑道：“既是这样，打赢了不仅是在你的工作范围内除去一桩心腹大患，更是替贵国争了一口气！”
麦当汉脸上露出了得意之色，把两个拳头捏得“格格”响，做好了准备迎战。
擂台上拳战正酣，彭昆趁众人分不出心旁顾其他之际百般挑拨。一会他又摇头说道：“我相信署长的神威，不过也不能太轻敌了，据说陈余祥的武功是非常了得的。”麦当汉一脸愠怒：“你说的是什么话？不是我吹，恐怕你们今天最会武功的人还打不过克拉克！”
彭昆失态地拍起巴拿来，悄声说道：“我们与'三山会'也有恩怨，正好克拉克也有露脸机会！”
台上对擂的双方已接近尾声，胜的一方已将另一方打下了擂台，按规定，只能在台上打死人，打下台就不能再追。
彭昆趁这机会站了起来，大步走上台，向陈余祥抱拳：“陈堂主且容我说句话！”
陈余祥做了个“请”的手式：“彭军师请讲！”
彭昆道：“'洪义堂'欠下贵堂和'三山会'的债我表示悔意。今天我们来的人很少，蒙陈堂主照顾，可宽容几日，为此，我深
