Chapter 26 Section ten
In the southeast area of Piaocheng, there is a natural platform with strange terrain, which is more than ten feet higher than the surrounding area. In the past, tung trees were planted all over it, so it was named "Tongtai". There are not many tung trees left today.Luxurious mansions were built in the open space where the tung trees were cut down, gathering the merchants and rich households of Piaocheng.This quiet and elegant residential area is a symbol of the economic strength of the entire city of Piao.Only a few wealthy households who hated the environment in the city moved to the suburbs outside the city, and most of them were concentrated on the narrow and long river island "Guangzhou" between the east and southeast tributaries of the lower reaches of Piaocheng. The pharmacy where Yu Runsheng works is facing the west corner of Tongtai.Therefore, he would see many arrogant and extravagant rich families going in and out every day. Every time such a person passes by, Yu Runsheng always stares silently.There was a sharpness in his eyes that no one else could see. Now he just came back from Father Li Lan's medicine field, and he is sorting the medicines brought back one by one in the warehouse behind the pharmacy. Boss Guo's voice sounded outside: "Younger...you come out...for a while..." There was panic in the voice.Yu Runsheng raised his eyebrows. He casually picked up a shovel placed in the corner of the warehouse, opened the curtain of the warehouse and stepped out. The thin boss Guo flinched in a corner.Three strong men with fierce faces stood side by side in the store. "They... are looking for you..." Boss Guo pointed his finger at the three of them, then hurriedly retracted it, as if he was afraid that his finger would be cut off if he extended the pointing action for half a second. "Your Excellency is Mr. Yu?" A man standing in the middle of the three asked in a rough voice. "Yes." Yu Runsheng replied coldly, holding the spade handle tightly. "Our shopkeeper would like to invite you to the tavern to have a few words." "Your treasurer?" "Don't worry, Mr. Yu." The man grinned, "We are not from the 'slaughterhouse'."
"Jianghu Aoxiao only loves wine" On the zhang-long red wine silk, there are these seven splashed black characters as big as human heads. Located on the west side of the southern section of Andong Street, it is an imposing three-storey tavern with a golden lacquered plaque of "Jianghu Building" hanging on the top of the wide main entrance. Under the leadership of three "Feng Yilong" men, Yu Runsheng entered the "Jianghu Building" from the side and climbed up the stairs to the third floor. In an inner hall on the spacious top floor, there is a large dining table for twelve people.Huaque Wu, who was covered with scars and dressed in brocade clothes, was the only one sitting. Behind him was a screen with a picture of a dragon and a tiger fighting. "Vulture" Lu Xun stood next to Huaquewu, and there were six other strong men in navy blue cloth standing with their chests upright. The table was full of exquisite dishes, and Yu Runsheng had never even seen such delicacies in his life.A jug of wine is warmed in a hot water basin. In addition to the headquarters of "Piaocheng Branch", "Jianghulou" is another important base of "Fengyilong".Pang Wenying did not hesitate to buy the land on Andong Avenue at three times the price, and used the tavern as a cover to dispatch troops to control the power of the "slaughter house" in the southern section of Andong Avenue, forming a head-to-tail relationship with the branch headquarters to protect each other . Since Andong Avenue is a "peaceful zone" acquiesced by both sides of the underworld and even the Piaocheng government, the "slaughterhouse" cannot prevent the establishment of the "Jianghu Building" due to the pressure of the Gongmen.It is undoubtedly a sharp sword hanging over the head of the "slaughterhouse". Yu Runsheng walked to the table.Hua Que Wu didn't stand up to greet him, but just sat and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yu, please sit down." Yu Runsheng smiled and said nothing, and sat across from Huaquewu. "In Xiajiangwu, he is the shopkeeper of 'Feng Yilong' shop, you must have heard of it?" "Long-awaited." "Jiang has also heard about my brother." Huaquewu tried his best to put on a sincere smile. "Jiang is so envious. Brother Yu has several very capable brothers..." Yu Runsheng's smile was neither humble nor overbearing. "Jiang and many brothers of 'Feng Yilong' like to make friends with real heroes, so I take the liberty to—" Yu Runsheng raised his hand. "Shopkeeper Jiang, what advice do you have for summoning Yu?" Huaquewu was stunned.Except for foster father Pang Wenying, no one has interrupted him for a long time. The scene froze.Yu Runsheng didn't look at Huaquewu, his eyes were fixed on the screen behind Huaquewu. Huaque was moved and felt uncomfortable. — how did he know... "Brother Yu, Jiang admires the ability and courage of you and your brothers - I have found out what happened last night. Now I hope you can do something for me..." Yu Runsheng had already confirmed everything at this time.Hua Que Wu wanted to pay them to kill people.To kill people who even "Feng Yilong" is not convenient to kill. He knew the price would not be low.He also knew that "Toyoshi Takashi" was able to get Lian Shou out of prison. But he asked for more than that.But he knew that the scarred man in front of him couldn't give him what he wanted. "As the saying goes: It's a matter of course to receive money from others and eliminate disasters for others; but Brother Yu, if someone receives your favor, but conspires with your opponent to kill you, what will you think?" "It is not a pity to die for an unrighteous person." "Okay!" Huaque patted the table five times. "Jiang was right. Brother Yu is indeed a hero! Come on, let's have a drink first!"
After Yu Runsheng left, Huaquewu still sat and drank alone in a daze, silently recalling Yu Runsheng's words and deeds just now.A man that he couldn't figure out at all. Although the hall and even the entire "Jianghu Building" were full of his elite subordinates, Hua Quewu still felt that there was a sense of danger when he faced Yu Runsheng who was alone just now. "Father, what do you think?" Pang Wenying stepped out from behind the screen with her hands behind her back. He walked to the window and looked down at the bustling crowd on Andong Street in the afternoon, as if he wanted to find the back of Yu Runsheng's departure.
