Chapter 28 4. The Secret Recipe of the Qing Dynasty

The grandfather didn't respond, and said to the butler, "Go and open the door." The butler promised, and went to open the door with a lantern. I don't know what's going on, I stared blankly at my grandfather, then looked back at the yard, suddenly there were a few whirring sounds, and many people jumped off the roof. The little feet with high martial arts skills, everyone is carrying a box cannon. I know that there are dozens of box cannons in the hall, and they are usually locked in the grandfather's mansion. When there are missions outside, they will take out a few according to the number of people dispatched. After the mission is completed, they will be returned to the warehouse. Grandpa does not allow it. Any Batou and Xiaojiao brought guns privately, and this time so many people fired guns, I suddenly raised my heart: something big is going to happen at the gate!

As soon as the grandfather waved his hand, Dabatou quickly hid in the screen behind the grandfather, and the rest of the little feet also hid in the darkness.Damtou poked his head out and said softly: "Grandfather, there are twenty brothers in the house, and the Erbatou side is also ready. Our brother." Grandpa nodded. After a while, the butler led a person in. I saw that it was Qibatou, Wang Jiaxian. After Qibatou entered the house, he didn't say anything, and knelt down: "Grandfather! The little one comes to confess!" Then he kowtowed, "Grandfather, I was wrong! Grandfather, please forgive me!"

Grandpa glanced at him and said coldly, "Speak." Qibatou cried and said, I was terrified when I heard it, what a big conspiracy! It turns out that Qian Yuelin, an old fox, has been in collusion with Qin Baichuan of the Western School for a long time, and they have been planning to get rid of grandpa for a long time! Grandpa is a hero, everyone can see it. Grandpa was in charge of "Muzilian" at the age of 21. When he took over the hall from Zhang Dancheng, all the old and young people in the hall were only in the twenties, and their family background was poor. It's terrible, people and money are scarce, after more than 20 years, the grandfather has managed the hall to hundreds of people, and earned millions of dollars!

For hundreds of years, the four halls have been equally divided, and their strengths are similar. Everyone checks and balances each other, and no one can threaten anyone. As a result, history went to the Republic of China, and a grandfather was born. Standing alone and stealing the limelight, this breaks the balance of the four halls for hundreds of years. This is a big taboo! Grandpa didn't understand the truth of this. In the past few years, even though his strength was constantly increasing, he kept quiet and respected all the masters. It wasn't until after 1945, when he was absolutely sure of his own strength, Only then did the heart attack begin.In recent years, he has been distributing a lot of money to other halls to buy people's hearts. On the surface, this is a good thing, and the masters are also very grateful, but in fact, except for Jiang Feiyan, the heads of the other two halls have their own hearts. Don't be afraid, your grandfather has bought people's hearts, which is not bad!In addition, in 1943, when Sitangkou was surrounded by the Military Command Bureau in Chongqing, his grandfather roasted Qin Baichuan on the fire, disregarding his life and death, and Qin Baichuan held a grudge even more.

In addition, since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Qian Yuelin has become more and more miserable in the north. After the liberation war broke out, he basically couldn't do it anymore. He wanted to move south, but he was afraid of conflicting with his grandfather. The second time I went south to grab business, my grandfather knew about it, but due to the overall situation, I didn't pursue it.Later, Qian Yuelin took a group of Abaos to Nanyue to make plans for the four southern provinces, but Jiang Feiyan also beat him back. He hated him.Jianghuai is rich and prosperous, and southern Guangdong is less war-torn. Everyone knows that these are two pieces of fat meat. Qian Yuelin sees it and is anxious in his heart, but his grandfather and Jiang Feiyan are both very strong. He took refuge in his grandfather, so he colluded with Qin Baichuan.

Collusion is actually a sign of weakness. They have calculated in private that if they don't join forces to deal with grandfather, after a few years, the "Jiangxiang faction" may really be united under grandfather's command! Qin Baichuan and Qian Yuelin discussed, no matter what, we must get rid of the grandfather. After getting rid of the grandfather, Jiang Feiyan will be easy to deal with. When the time comes to re-divide the sphere of influence, Qin Baichuan will still be in charge of the Western faction, and then take over the four southern provinces Under his own command, Qian Yuelin was in charge of the Eastern faction and took over all the territory of his grandfather.The two also discussed about dividing up Jiang Feiyan's daughter, A Baogua. If Jiang Feiyan agrees, let it go, and if she doesn't agree, she will be destroyed!

In the end, the two decided to let Qian Yuelin pretend to take refuge in the grandfather. Only by getting close to the grandfather can he find out the details of the grandfather's hall, and see if he can instigate a few dams, come together from inside to outside, and completely eliminate the Dongpai. From the day Qian Yuelin came to Tangkou, my grandfather became suspicious. My grandfather likes to "play chess", so it would be boring to kill Qian Yuelin directly.So he played a big game of chess. He deliberately asked Qian Yuelin to participate in the hall meeting at the entrance of the hall, and let him participate in the discussion of some important issues. As the saying goes, "It's a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk." How deep is it, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles.More importantly, the grandfather wants to use Qian Yuelin's hand to pull out the unstable elements in the hall.Grandfather knew that although all the dams were afraid of him on weekdays, the "Jiangxiang faction" was a group of rabble after all. I remember the rebellion of Batou under Zhang Dancheng. From the day he took office, my grandfather was wary of all Batou.

Grandfather never allowed the Batou people to unite, but deliberately let them fight. The harder they fight, the safer he is.After the outbreak of the Liberation War, the life of Tangkou became more and more tight. The economic base determined the superstructure. If there was a shortage of money, the Tangkou would become unstable.In particular, the fact that the grandfather donated the silver from Tangkou to other Tangkou was directly opposed by Sanbatou and Wubatou many times. Since the beginning of the spring of 1949, Sanbatou suggested to my grandfather to move southward. What he said was not a formality, but to grab Jiang Feiyan's territory. When my grandfather didn't respond, he suggested that my grandfather march to the southwest and seize the territory. Several provinces of Qin Baichuan.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Sanbatou thinking this way, the mistake is that he is not in the pace of his grandfather, he is walking too fast, and his doing so will disrupt the big game of grandfather. Grandpa knew that Sanbatou, Wubatou, and Qibatou had always been in cahoots. These three people were different from Dabatou and Erbatou. They were all knowledgeable and scheming. Grandpa wanted to borrow money to Yuelin Let's take a chance to see to what extent these three pieces of material can be reversed. The three of them finally failed the test and were really instigated.The leader is Sanbatou.

Sanbatou has always been ambitious since he was with his grandfather. He always feels that his IQ is on par with his grandfather. He thinks that after his grandfather abdicates, he will definitely be in charge of the hall.In his eyes, Da Batou is brave and foolish, Er Batou is neither human nor ghost, Si Batou is a nerd, Wu Batou wears a pair of pants with him, and no one can succeed his grandfather except him. What he didn't expect was that history went to 1935, and his grandfather brought a 14-year-old child from Wang Yaqiao. This little six, who grew up slowly under the protection of his grandfather, became more and more different. , he is smart, courageous and resourceful, and good at martial arts, and he is from the "Axe Gang".So he tried his best to cultivate his own power while instigating the relationship between several other Batou, recommending Wang Jiaxian as Qibatou was his first move.

There was a time when Sanbatou wanted to "fly solo", the grandfather saw it, and in view of the overall interests of Tangkou, he beat him several times, and he stopped talking. Sanbatou is also very greedy for money. He has a lot of opinions on the "tick" system of Tangkou. He has made suggestions to his grandfather many times. After the War of Liberation broke out, the businesses at all the halls gradually withered, and the treasures all over the country became impetuous. Everyone didn't know where history was going and where their own destiny would end up.Sanbatou tested the grandfather's tone many times, wanting to know his plan, but the grandfather just didn't say anything. At this juncture, Qian Yuelin came and also brought the "backbone" to Sanbatou. Qian Yuelin said: "Now is a good time for the 'Jiang Xiangpai' to reshuffle. The 'Jiang Xiangpai' It can’t all be controlled by one person!” After Qian Yuelin promised, he would allocate several provinces to Sanbatou, and let Sanbatou take the lead and take charge of one party.This is right in Sanbatou's arms. He has been holding back for so many years, and even in his dreams he dreamed that he would become a master's father. So the two of them colluded secretly with Qin Baichuan, planning to cooperate with each other.They analyzed that if they want to get rid of Grandpa, they must first get rid of Liubatou "Feng Zishou". This is Grandpa's personal bodyguard, both wise and brave, and is the biggest stumbling block. As long as he is removed, other Batou will not be enough. consider! how to get itYou can't beat him directly, let alone assassinate him. Whether it is poisoning or shooting him, it is equivalent to directly telling grandpa that someone is going to rebel.At the critical moment, Qian Yuelin, the old fox, came into play again. He took out a cookbook, which was a palace "secret recipe for eating and killing" that he got from an old eunuch when he cheated in Zhili in the north in his early years.
