The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 110 Stirring Guangzhou
In the Tongwen Clubhouse, Lu Haodong looked at the group of old friends with serious expressions.

"Everyone, the time has come. I am afraid that there will be chaos in Guangzhou."

A young man wearing glasses immediately asked, "Brother Haodong, have you got any news?"

His surname is Chen, his name is Chen Shaobai, and he is an important member of the Xingzhong Society.

Lu Haodong nodded slightly: "Feng Ji and Feng Daoke recommended by Jinsun, I am afraid that he will take action against the Thirteen Lines in the near future. At that time, the government and foreigners will be attracted to him. It is the best time for us to wait for an armed uprising!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned.

Chen Shaobai couldn't help shaking his head: "Nonsense, Haodong, how can you put your hope of revolution on a warrior?"

"That's right, Hao Dong, a warrior, why should he fight Thirteen Lines?"

"Behind the thirteen lines, there is the government, there are four major families, and there are foreigners. He is a martial artist from outside. How can he have the confidence to take action against the thirteen lines?"

"Haodong, didn't you see that the four major families have already started to deal with him these few days? The city is full of arrest documents, and there are arresters who want him everywhere. How dare he show up?"

"The time has not come, Hao Dong, don't bring this matter up again. Hurry up and call Hong Kong and tell Yixian that the revolution still needs to wait for the right time."

"That's right, Haodong, the guns haven't arrived yet, and the people from the Zhigongtang and the Triad Society haven't arrived yet, so wait."

Lu Haodong couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw everyone persuading him.

"Everyone, regardless of whether Brother Feng Ji is successful or not, we should all have a perfect plan. At least the guns and ammunition should be prepared first, shall we?"

"What if, I mean what if he really did it? When Guangzhou is in chaos, it will be too late for us to think of a way to take action at that time! The foreigners and the Qing court will not give us time to prepare."

"Hao Dong, do you really believe in this Feng Ji?"

"It's not that I trust him, it's that I trust Jinsun. He has been in the north for many years, and he has never made a mistake in seeing people and things."

"It's not urgent, let me discuss it later."

"Hey, those who do big things, how can they be indecisive, I'll send a telegram to Yixian!"

……

American Concession, Thirteenth Street.

The four major families gathered here, Tongfuxing Pan's family, Yihe Xingwu's family, Guanglixing Lu's family, Tianbaoxing Ye's family, and all the people involved gathered here.

All the head offices of the Thirteen Banks are here, but the most powerful of the four major families is naturally the Lu family of Guanglihang.

Lu's family has a lot of money, pornography, gambling and drugs are all taken up, and everything is huge profits.

This gathering is here at Lu's house.

Pan Zhidong, the Patriarch of the Pan family, had an ugly expression on his face, and said, "One day and one night have passed, and there is still no news at all. Could it be that the murderer flew out?"

"We, the four major families of the thirteenth line, join forces, and we will not be able to catch a single person. If we spread the word, we will be laughed to death!"

After Pan Zhidong finished speaking, Wu Bingjian, the Patriarch of the Wu Family of Yihehang, also sneered.

After they finished speaking, Ye Shanglin, the head of the Ye Family, suddenly laughed and said, "Hey? Brother Pan, Brother Wu, what did you say? That person didn't provoke me and Brother Lu. The joke is not on our Ye family and Lu family."

"Ye Shanglin, what are you talking about? The thirteen industries in Guangdong have always been prosperous, and everyone is hurt. If we lose face, your face will be bright?" Pan Zhidong said angrily.

Wu Bingjian also sneered: "Lao Ye, don't gloat, how do you know that that madman won't kill you Tianbaoxing tomorrow?"

Ye Shanglin immediately laughed and said: "Brother Wu, why did that man kill your fellow Fuxing? You don't know? Hehehe, is it because your people don't have eyes and bought people who shouldn't be bought? He came here to seek revenge Forget it, if you want me to say, this is a personal enmity, why should my Ye family intervene?"

Seeing how many people were still arguing, Lu Jiguang couldn't help frowning slightly, knocked on the table lightly, and said: "Everyone, what time is it, and you are still in the mood for arguing?"

He glanced at Ye Shanglin, and said, "Lao Ye, although your Tianbaohang does not occupy cigarettes, do gambling stalls, or run brothels, but don't forget, who do you rely on for food."

"At the moment, two foreigners died in the concession. These two foreigners have unusual identities. They are both high-level executives of the American Pacific Company. Now that America wants us to hand over the murderer, do you dare to agree?"

"Without permission from foreigners, which of your silk, tea, and minerals can leave the port next month?"

After saying these words, Ye Shanglin immediately snorted, and stopped making sarcastic remarks.

He is a serious businessman, and he is not contaminated with pornography, gambling and drugs like the other three big families, so he somewhat looks down on these people in his heart.

But precisely because he has not been involved in these few industries, although he is listed among the four major families, he has always been at the bottom.

Seeing that Ye Shanglin was no longer disrupting the situation, Lu Jiguang looked at Pan Zhidong and Wu Bingjian with satisfaction, and asked, "The foreigners are in a hurry and only gave us three days to catch the murderer."

"Do you have any clues here? It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

Wu Bingjian immediately said: "I have investigated the situation at the Yihe Garden. Someone saw it with his own eyes. This person rescued a child molester and a woman."

"I checked the identities of these two people. They both have the surname Duan. I'm afraid the murderer is related to the Duan family."

"Someone at the scene heard the molester call the murderer's uncle."

As soon as Wu Bingjian finished speaking, Ye Shanglin couldn't help but sneered: "It really is a personal enmity."

Wu Bingjian glared at him, but said nothing.

Their Jardine Bank and the Pan family's counterparts, the business they do is indeed easy to attract revenge from those who are looking for relatives.

But in the past, those who dared to seek relatives for revenge would die one by one, and never encountered a murderer who could defeat one hundred.

This time it was kicked to the iron plate.

But they didn't realize how hard this iron plate was, they just thought it was a little troublesome.

And this trouble does not mean that the murderer killed a hundred Chinese, but two foreigners.

Otherwise, in their eyes, this matter might not even be considered a trouble.

In their eyes, the lives of two foreigners are far more important than the lives of a hundred Chinese.

This is related to the attitude of foreigners towards them, which makes them unhappy. Their goods cannot even be exported to Guangzhou, let alone sold overseas.

"Brother Pan, I bought it from you, Tong Fuxing. Do you have any impression of these two people? Have you found any clues?"

Pan Zhidong nodded slightly, and said, "I have already sent people to investigate. These two people were indeed abducted from the shanty town by Ren Yazi under my command."

"At that time, they were abducted together, and there were several family members surnamed Duan. The men were all sold to foreigners."

"At that time, there were two women and a child. One of the women was named Duan Hongmin, and the child was named Duan Dabao. They were sold to Yihehang. They were the one big and one young saved by the murderer."

"The remaining woman was bought by a foreign priest."

"Have you found that foreign priest?"

"Still looking."

Lu Jiguang immediately said: "Since this man is determined to save this Duan's family and has already rescued two people, he will definitely save this woman. The men who sold to foreigners must also be his relatives."

"In this way, you find a way to get those Duan family men back from the foreigners."

"Maybe we can use these people as bait to lure out the murderer."

Ye Shanglin snorted coldly: "Trouble, in the past, didn't you just catch someone to deal with it? This time you have to catch the murderer? It's not like you haven't seen the murderer's kung fu. Why bother, why not?" Grab a prisoner directly from death row and go to work."

Lu Jiguang shook his head: "Foreigners are not as easy to deceive as our officials and lords. They really like to compete, and they won't let it go until they catch the real culprit. Remember, it's okay to fool the government, but it's not okay to fool the foreigners."

Ye Shanglin rolled his eyes.

"Then go check it out."

Several people were discussing, when suddenly the old housekeeper of the Lu family hurried in.

"Master, something is wrong!"

Lu Jiguang frowned slightly: "Why panic? What is it?"

"Our Guanglihang branches in Huangpu Port, Qingshuiwan, Nanqiao and other places were smashed, and the smoke was burned, and many employees died."

Lu Jiguang's eyes widened instantly, and he stood up abruptly: "What did you say?!"

Before the steward could say it again, he saw the followers of the Pan family and the Wu family running over one after another.

"Master, something is wrong!"

"Master, something serious happened!"

Pan Zhidong and Wu Bingjian couldn't help showing a bad look, and stood up hastily.

Before asking, the entourage hurriedly shouted: "Master, please go back at home quickly, many colonies of our fellow Fu were burned, and many people's teeth were killed!"

"Master, several Jardine branches in Chunfenglou and Wanhualou have been smashed, and many sisters have escaped!"

"There are also gambling stalls, and the gambling stalls have also been destroyed!"

The patriarchs of the four major families were frightened and angry, and shouted violently almost at the same time: "Who did it?"

"I don't know, those people are highly skilled in martial arts, they are not like ordinary people!"

Lu Jiguang slammed the table and roared angrily, "What the hell! Is this still Guangzhou?"

Pan Zhidong was also furious: "Who has the guts to provoke my Pan family!"

"Hurry up, recruit people and arrest people!"

"In addition, quickly notify the government and let the government lead troops. If you encounter troublemakers, shoot them to death!"

Several Patriarchs roared angrily and immediately issued an order.

Among the four, Ye Shanglin was the only one who sat on the chair thoughtfully and didn't move.

It seems that nothing happened to him in Tianbaoxing?

The accidents were all smoke dens, gambling stalls, brothels, dental shops?
He didn't think for long, and Lu Jiguang and the others had already issued an order to block Guangzhou City.

"There's something wrong with this matter, someone is going to touch our four major families!" Pan Zhidong realized and shouted immediately.

Lu Jiguang also came back to his senses, and immediately said: "It's really not right, where did this group of people come from?"

"Who is behind this manipulation?"

"No matter who the other party is, when they come to Guangzhou, a dragon must be coiled, and a tiger must lie down."

"Do you want to notify the foreigners in the concession?"

"Of course, we don't have such guns, and we still have to rely on foreigners' guns and artillery."

……

The order after order was issued, and the city of Guangzhou was in turmoil in an instant.

A large number of government patrols and arrests were dispatched on the streets, and the gangs of the four major families also took action.

Ordinary people felt that something was wrong, and closed their stalls one after another.

"Dang, dang, dang... The idlers wait to avoid, and catch the bandits in the city!"

"Dang dang dang... the government catches the bandits, and the common people avoid them!"

A large number of policemen beat gongs and drums to disperse the crowd.

The busy streets became deserted.

There are only teams walking with swords in hand.

American Concession, English Concession, French Concession, Japanese Concession...

The major concessions in Guangzhou were quickly put under martial law, and a large number of patrol teams appeared nearby, and checkpoints were set up at the entrances and exits of main roads to prohibit passage.

Boom!

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar sounded from the south of the city.

On top of Lu's castle, members of the four major families hurried out and looked to the south with frightened and angry faces.

Lu Jiguang was shocked: "Vulcan Cannon?"

Pan Zhidong was shocked and angry: "This group of people actually have a Vulcan cannon?"

Wu Bingjian also couldn't believe it: "Where did the Vulcan Cannon come from? Something is wrong, something is wrong! This is no ordinary gangster!"

Ye Shanglin also turned gloomy: "Damn it, who are these people!"

Vulcan cannons are sharp weapons that only foreigners have. The Vulcan cannons of the Qing Dynasty are all old antiques.

The Vulcan cannon just now was so powerful that it was probably more than ten miles away from here, but it still roared like thunder!

They have only seen such powerful firearms on foreign ships!
……

Huangli Street, in front of a burning ruin.

Hong Yihu laughed loudly, turned his head to look at Feng Ji, and said, "My dear brother, how about our Vulcan Cannon?"

Standing beside him, Feng Ji looked at the clumsy cannon, and sighed in his heart.

"It's really powerful. How can a mortal body be able to resist such a divine weapon? No matter how strong I am in horizontal training, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the power of this cannon."

Beside him was a pitch-black iron cannon.

The people from Hongmen are loading shells and turning the muzzle.

The front was full of flames, and there were ruins. The members of the Tongfu Gang who were still blocking their way were already dead or fled.

Personal bravery, in the face of firearms, is indeed vulnerable.

Hearing Feng Ji's emotion, Hong Yihu couldn't help sighing: "Yes, we have practiced kung fu all our lives, but we can't resist the bombardment of foreigners. They are so backward, they don't think about change, they only care about pleasure, what should the Qing government do?" Extinct."

He was an undercover agent in Nanjing and had seen too many corrupt officials in the Qing court. He knew that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted and it was time for Hongmen to come back!

The two of them were talking, when suddenly a figure rushed over, and they saw the person coming on horseback with the banner of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau on their backs.

"Brother Feng, Uncle Hong, Donglin Street has been taken down. The brothels, dental shops, tobacco shops, and gambling stalls have all been destroyed by us!"

"My father also found some thirteen lines of opium stocks, which are hundreds of kilograms. Jiaye and Yade are imitating Lord Lin to sell opium in Humen over there."

Xiao Min turned over and jumped off the horse, and immediately reported the results of the Zhenyuan Escort to Feng Ji and Hong Yihu.

Feng Ji and the two suddenly smiled.

Hong Yihu asked: "Have you encountered any trouble?"

Xiao Min smiled and said: "There are local snake gang guards in those places, but they are all a bunch of mobs. Our bodyguards took action, only killed a few rounds, and they were all scared away."

Feng Ji smiled, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the American Concession: "Those are young people, the real opponent is over there!"

Hong Yihu looked in the direction of the concession and knew that members of the four major families were hiding inside.

To destroy the thirteen lines, you have to kill the four major families first!

Suddenly, someone shouted from behind the Hongmen team.

"The officers and soldiers are here!"

Hong Yihu turned his head and laughed immediately: "My dear brother, what am I talking about? As long as we do something, the government will definitely intervene."

Feng Ji also looked back, and couldn't help showing a sneer: "Officials don't make decisions for the people, what's the use of it? If they want to stop us, kill them first!"

"After killing the official, there is no turning back." Hong Yihu said in a deep voice.

Feng Ji laughed loudly, and patted the suitcase beside him.

With a bang, the suitcase split open, revealing a pair of thick armor made of fine steel.

On both sides of the armor, there are two iron shields full of sharp barbs.

The edge of the iron shield is a sharp blade!
Feng Ji put on the armor one by one, put on the wrist guards in the iron shield with both hands, and lifted the two ferocious iron shields, the whole person is like a steel beast!

"Since you can't look back, then go straight forward and kill him cleanly!"
