My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 84
As night falls, the lanterns come on
In a large house located in Beishuiguan next to Chaoyang Gate, the lights are bright and soft, illuminating the entire hall.

There are two large tables in the hall. The tables are filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the aroma is fragrant.

The fresh and juicy dishes exude an alluring aroma, tempting people to salivate.

Tonight, Qian Ketong held a banquet.

Of course, this banquet was nominally to celebrate Li Erniang's safe return, but in fact, the person sitting in the main seat at this banquet was neither Li Erniang nor Qian Ketong, but an ordinary-looking person who was sitting in the crowd. An inconspicuous man in gray robe.

At this time, Qian Ketong, Ma Sanye, Li Erniang and Kong Youren were surrounding him to keep him company.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qian Ketong winked at Li Erniang.

The latter stood up knowingly, twisted the waist of the water snake and said to the man in gray robe with a charming smile: "Manager Qiu, it is really thanks to your mediation that my second mother can come out safely this time. I would like to express my best wishes to you for this glass of wine." Good luck to you."

Facing this beautiful woman's toast, an ordinary man would at least be frightened even if he didn't lose his composure, but the face of the man in gray robe remained exceptionally calm.

He just picked up the wine glass, took a sip to his lips, and said calmly: "Second Master, you are too polite, we are just slaves.

The reason why all the heads give us face is just for the sake of the master's face and respect us three points.

Besides, the master doesn’t like these false things. As long as all the masters remember to do their part, the master will be very happy. "

The charming smile on Li Erniang's face froze for a moment, and then resumed her charming smile.

"Mr. Qiu, of course we have to fulfill our responsibilities, but we can't ignore the people who do the work, right?

Mr. Qiu, you have served me front and back for so many years. You have toiled hard even if you have no merit.

The slave family feels that your future is limitless, and it won't be long before you can be promoted to at least three levels in a row. "

Hearing the words "promoted to three levels in a row", Manager Qiu's expression changed slightly at first, but then a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Qian Ketong and asked in a low voice with a hint of sharpness: "Gang Leader Qian, are you ready with all the money you want to give to the master this time?"

Qian Ketong laughed: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, everything is ready. The stipulated amount is a penny, and you can take the money back after the reception banquet is over."

"That's good."

After hearing that the silver was ready, Manager Qiu smiled for the first time on his face.

"Master Qian did a good job this time. Master is a person who deserves rewards for his merits.

Before coming here, my master asked me to tell you that there is no need to worry about Jia Yu's children.

In a few days, he will find a way to drag Jia Yu's son down from his position in the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department. By then, as long as he has no official status, you can do whatever you want to do with him. "

Qian Ketong was overjoyed when he heard this. As a gang in Dongcheng, it was really troublesome to have a commander specifically responsible for public security working against him.

Apart from anything else, he couldn't stand just Jia Yu visiting Cuihua Building every two days. Can he still do business?

You must know that Cuihua Building is one of the most profitable businesses of the Sands Gang.

Especially the Cuihua Building incident that was blamed by Jia Yu two days ago made the Jinsha Gang the laughing stock of all the underworld gangs in Shenjing.

He had already thought about it, and he would greet Jia Yu well after he got down from the position of commander.

But before he could say thanks, he heard a loud noise from outside.

"boom!"

Along with the roar, a cry of killing immediately reached everyone's ears.

The first person to jump up after hearing the sound was Ma Sanye. He was also the most vigilant because he had been licking blood from the blade of a knife for many years.

I saw him rushing to a wall on the left side of the lobby and taking out a simple knife.

He yelled: "If there's a situation, fuck this guy!"

Although Qian Ketong and Li Erniang moved a little slowly, they also took the weapons from the hands of the gang members who reacted.As the military advisor of the Jinsha Gang, Kong Youren was not good at fighting, but he still picked up a long sword from somewhere.

"Gang leader... Gang leader..."

A member of the Jinsha Gang stumbled in, "Gang leader...it's not good, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division came in!"

"Afraid of a ball, brothers follow me and fight out!"

Hearing the attack from the Soldiers and Horses Division, Mr. Ma was furious. He picked up the sword in his hand and was about to kill him.

There was another muffled sound outside the door.

The hardwood door outside the hall collapsed, sending up a strong cold wind and a cloud of dust and smoke.

When the smoke cleared, they saw a man wearing a helmet and armor holding a spear walking in surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. This man was Jia Yu, whom Qian Ketong had been thinking about just now.

Although it was the first time the two parties met, Qian Ketong recognized him at first sight.

"Jia Yu!"

Qian Ketong gritted his teeth and stared at him.

"Yes, it's me." Jia Yu also recognized Qian Ketong at first sight.

His eyes scanned the hall and he said with a smile: "Very good, the four leaders of the Jinsha Gang are all here, which saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one.

Now are you going to surrender and be captured, or are you going to put up a desperate struggle? "

"Go to hell you bitch!"

As soon as Jia Yu finished speaking, she saw Mr. Ma roaring and rushing towards him.

The Pu Dao in his hand slashed at him viciously.

Jia Yu just smiled coldly and waved his left hand.

"Whoosh!"

Amidst the vibrating sound of the bow string, an arrow weighing about fifty grams pierced the air and shot towards Mr. Ma's face with a whistling sound.

Before Ma Sanye could react, the arrow pierced his cheek with a huge impact, and dripping blood spattered out.

"what!"

Ma Sanye immediately covered his face and howled miserably, and threw the simple knife in his hand far away.

"No, they even brought archers!"

I don't know who shouted.

Only then did everyone realize that the wall opposite the hall was filled with burly archers, looking at them with cold eyes.

Looking at the cold eyes of the archers, everyone had a look of despair on their faces.

The laws of Daxia stipulate that although the people of Daxia can own swords, guns and sticks, even if you are a trafficker and a pawn, you can carry weapons with you and go shopping, and no one will care about you.

But as long as you dare to hide armor or carry a bow and arrow, you will be punished as a crime once discovered.

This is not surprising, because the imperial courts of all dynasties had the strictest control over armor and bows and arrows.

Because the power of these two things is so great, even if you are a tough guy, as long as more than a dozen archers shoot at you, no matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you will be shot into a hedgehog.

Just like the current Mr. Ma, he is famous in Dongcheng for his martial arts skills, but now he can only lie on the ground and roll around.

The initiator was just a small arrowhead.
