The next evening, Luo Kai finished his supper and was already at the lantern, so he started his action.
I saw Luo Kai's light fur and slowly strap away from Panlongxuan leisurely and wandering around the island. He walked slowly for a while, and when the time was right, he used the same trick again and threw the person who was following him. With a turn, he instantly came to the stone cave under the slope.
Luo Kaifu approached the cave and found that there was a package in the corner of the cave. He knew that Shi Liang had prepared the object he needed.
He saw that there was no one around, so he walked into the cave and opened the package. He saw a black tights inside and another oil cloth was placed inside.
Luo Kai took out a letter from his body and used the tart cloth to wrap the letter tightly. He then began to take off his clothes, put on the black clothes, then put the wrapped letter into his clothes, and finally wrapped all the clothes he took off.
Everything was done, Luo Kai walked out of the cave, poked his head out of the crack of the rock under the slope, and quietly opened it up. Seeing that there was no one on the slope, he walked out of the rock beach and jumped into the lake.
Luo Kai was probably discovered. As soon as he jumped into the lake, he dived into the water. He dived dozens of feet under the water in one breath before floating out of the water. Looking forward, the boat group on the other side was covered with black paint, and there were only a few lights.
Luo Kai dared not neglect, so as not to waste time. He used his internal strength and swam directly to the other side of the lake like a big fish.
Luo Kai swam for about half an hour and finally approached the destination. Suddenly, he heard a whirlwind, and came from the group of ships in front: Who is the person coming? Swim here quickly. Luo Kai looked in the sound and saw a large ship, but there were several big men standing on it, and he kept stroking.
After that big man drank like this, dozens of ships rushed out one after another. Suddenly, the torch blew the lanterns, illuminating the lake, and the shouts became more and more
Luo Kaixin thought: The Water God Gang is really guarded strictly. Before I swim near, I have already discovered it for them. But these people shouted so loudly and shouted with fearlessness. Are you not afraid of the government discovering it?
Luo Kai was about to speak out his mind, but then he thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. He thought that he could be so rash and reckless before he was confirmed.
At that moment, I stopped talking and went straight to the big boat
When he swam several feet from the big boat, he saw a small boat coming towards him
On the boat, there were four people standing, one of them holding a lantern with his right hand. Seeing that Luo had not said a word at all, he even added a little more spirit, and shouted in a deep voice: Who are you, please come!
The boat immediately rowed in front of Luo Kai. The man carrying the lantern on the boat certainly refused to let him get on the boat. He was about to ask clearly, but before he could speak, he saw Luo Kai climbing on the side of the boat with his right hand, secretly radiating his true energy. The man had already jumped out of the water and landed gently on the bow of the boat.
The four of them felt a flash in front of them and saw Luo Kai standing in front of them.
The four of them were shocked when they saw the person coming with such skills. They pulled out their weapons, took a few steps back, and set up a pose to meet the enemy.
Luo Kai stood at the bow of the boat, and clasped his fists to the four people and said: Luo Kai is in Lingyun Village, and if you have any important matters, please see the leader of the Li gang of the Youth League. Please pass on your behalf.
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned
The man holding a lantern had seen Luo Kai at the ferry before, but now it was dark, and Luo Kai's hair was wet, covering half of his face. In addition, Luo Kai's movement was too fast just now, so he couldn't see clearly for a while. Now that he heard this, he quickly raised the lantern and looked at Luo Kai's face. Seeing that the person in front of him was Luo Kai, he immediately bowed and said: I don't know if it was the owner of Luo Manor, and he was offended just now. If there was any inappropriateness, please forgive me. Everyone held their fists and saluted.
Luo Kai hurriedly replied: It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Luo visited late at night and never asked you to help him. It's really Luo's fault. You guys don't have to be too polite.
The man carrying a lantern suddenly turned around, gestured to the ship, and then shouted: The owner of Lingyun Zhuangluo arrived. When the men on the ship heard it, they immediately calmed down.
The boat leaned against the big boat and saw that a wooden ladder had already been placed on the big boat. A familiar voice sounded from the boat: It turned out that it was Lord Luo who was here in person, and Li was in a far-reaching way. Luo Kai raised his head and looked up. Seeing that Li Zhan was already standing next to the boat, Luo Kai picked him up and stepped on the ladder and got on the boat.
As soon as Luo Kai got on the boat, he saw two rows of people standing on the boat, all dressed in black. Everyone saw Luo Kai stepping onto the boat and bowed to him together.
Luo Kai immediately clasped his fists and bowed to everyone.
Li Zhan came forward and said intimately: I heard his subordinates say that someone is approaching. At that time, Li was really shocked. I also thought that he was a master who could have such great skills in such a cold weather. Unexpectedly, the person who came was the Lord of Luo Zhuang.
Luo Kai said: Luo came to your gang at night tonight. I really want to ask Master Li to help you with something.
Li Zhan saw Luo Kai suddenly come here, and he had already realized that if there was no important thing, Luo Kai would not have come here from Xiao Yingzhou. He immediately said: Lord Luo is too disgusting. As long as someone Li can do, Lord Luo will come with the order! Let's go to the cabin and say slowly, Lord Luo asks you! Then walk side by side towards the cabin.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw a subordinate coming in with a large jar of wine and pouring two big bowls for them.
When the man left the cabin, Li Zhan said: In such a cold weather, Lord Luo could actually travel from Xiaoyingzhou to here. I believe there are indeed few people in the world with such superb skills. Li is really impressed!
Lord Luo, please drink a little water and wine to drive away the cold and then talk about serious matters. Li, first, respect the owner Luo, first. Luo Kai was not polite, so he respected each other with Li Zhan. Fang said: Luo came to see Lord Li today, and there was something to ask... Then he imprisoned Qingyun Qiuyue and his wife on the island. How did he and Shi Liang plan to save people? They all told Li Zhan.
After hearing this, Li Zhan nodded and said: So that's the case. It's no wonder you are nervous when you are Lord Luo! As for the matter of receiving and saving people, it will fall on Li Zhan.
Luo Kai took out the wrapped letter from his arms and handed it to Li Zhan: If you have any trouble, the leader of the gang sent it to Lingyun Village for Luo. This letter is extremely important and must not fall into the hands of others. Your gang must hand it directly to the white girl in my village.
Li Zhan took the letter and said: Don't worry, Master Luo, Mr. Li will handle this matter personally, and he will never dare to pretend to others.
Luo Kai thanked him again and again, so he continued to discuss how to save people and other matters with Li Zhan. He talked about incense sticks for several times. Seeing that it was already late at night, in order to avoid Zhu Ying's suspicion, he knew that he could not stay anymore, so he said goodbye to Li Zhan.
Li Zhan immediately sent an order and sent someone to send Luo Kai back to Xiaoyingzhou with a small boat.
Seeing that he was sincere, Luo Kai was unable to refuse, so he took a small boat and left until he was about half a mile from Xiaoyingzhou. Luo Kai left the boat, jumped out of the lake, and swam back to Sihu Biezhuang.
The next day, in the inner hall of Lingxiao Pavilion, the Bai sisters, Dong Yiyi, the strange mother-in-law, Shangguan Liu, and the Changxing Silver Manager Tian Huang were sitting in the hall discussing business affairs.
I only heard Bai Ruixue say: Manager Tian, I have read the plans and account books you sent to me before.
Three silver numbers, eight jewelry stores, ten seal shops, and six calligraphy and painting shops, the total number is more than 127,000 taels of silver. This amount is not huge. Just follow what you proposed by General Manager Tian, but I still have a problem. Although the above high-end industries have abundant profits, they are also a way of income, but in these industries, there is not much manpower, which is not very helpful to some poor people! General Manager Tian, according to your opinion, can you add more industries?
Tian Huang said: This is certainly possible, but there are not many industries that can be used with a large number of people. Moreover, most of these industries are monopolized by gangs. The monopoly of interests is like the land transportation in Jiangnan, which is controlled by the White Tiger Gang; in terms of waterways, there are also some people who support it. If we want to reach into these industries, it may not be easy to say it badly. There is a possibility of using guns and knives at any time. It is undoubtedly to make more enemies. If we want to add other industries, we must consider the pros and cons to avoid making mistakes and avoid being out of control when we get it.
After hearing this, everyone also felt that this was very reasonable
Bai Ruixue pondered for a moment and said: Is there nothing else besides these industries?
Tian Huang nodded and said: Actually, I have thought about this problem. We can consider operating some industries such as wine shops and silk shops. The investment is not very large, but these industries have limited income and should not be too heavy.
Tian Huang paused and said: Miss, don't worry, now we are just starting out in Hangzhou, we will set the foundation here first, and then develop in other places. As long as there is an industry to do in a certain place, we will do it. This is better than grabbing people's jobs and avoiding a lot of trouble. After hearing this, Bai Ruixue had to nod.
Bai Wanting said: I wonder what Mr. Tian has to say about recruiting martial artists?
Tian Huang smiled and said: I am not my talent on this, so I really dare not give any comments.
Shangguan Liu suddenly said: I have thought about this, but I don’t know if it’s right.
Bai Ruixue smiled and said: Shangguan Liu, you have always been smart and clever. The strategies you came up with must not be much different. Let's talk about them and let everyone take a closer look.
Shangguan Liu couldn't help but feel shy and said: Sister Bai, don't make fun of me, actually, I can't say what the plan is. I just think that if we randomly find some people who only know a few tricks or ordinary martial arts, no matter how many of us are, we just care about it. If there is a problem, these people can't help themselves and will also damage the reputation of Lingyunzhuang. I wonder if you think I'm right?
The strange mother-in-law first agreed and nodded and said: Shangguan Liu is right. I also think that everything should be efficient, especially when recruiting martial artists, it is not about the number of soldiers: the soldiers are not about the number of people. If they are all guys who only know how to eat, they are just for nothing.
Shangguan Liu continued: A good player is really strong and better than ten mediocre men. The most important thing is to avoid the crowds of people in the village and reduce spies taking advantage of the situation to get involved in the village. The last sentence, as it is to the point of the matter, everyone nodded and said it was
Bai Wanting said: But it is not easy to hire such a master!
Shangguan Liu said: Actually, it seems difficult on the surface. If you use some thought, it will not be difficult. We can choose a recruitment day and go to various places to promote it. In the name of recruiting a guardian coach, we will set up a ring on the farm and then screen it. Isn’t that okay?
Bai Ruixue pondered for a while and nodded: This method is very feasible. As long as we Daoming is recruiting a coach for the village, if we are not a person with considerable martial arts skills, we will definitely not dare to come and consider the position of coach.
Dong Yiyi said: Everyone will come to recruit the coach at that time. Wouldn’t there be only the coach in the village? Where did the martial arts come from?
Everyone heard this and was stunned. They couldn't help but look at each other and then laughed loudly.
Dong Yiyi didn't understand what they laughed at and said coquettishly: I... am I wrong?
Shangguan Liu smiled and said: I didn't say you were wrong. Although we are using the signboard of recruiting coaches, we are undoubtedly the best martial arts masters. Of course, those who have a little less martial arts master will be willing to be martial arts masters. Wouldn't we hire them if they are willing to surrender? Dong Yiyi finally understood and couldn't help but applaud.
Bai Ruixue said to Tian Huang: Manager Tian, I still have something I want you to help
Tian Huang said: Miss, please say
Bai Ruixue Road: Although Lingyun Village is spacious, once people are recruited, the number of people will naturally increase a lot. According to the layout of the village, the number of rooms in the building is really not enough. I want to build a few more buildings outside the village in case of emergency needs.
Tian Huang said: This question is not difficult. I wonder if there is a suitable place for the young lady?
Bai Ruixue said: I already have a preliminary plan. As he said that, he took out a map from his clothes, displayed it on the table, pointed to the map and said: This is where Lingyun Village is located, and I don’t plan to change the layout of the buildings in the village, just let him keep it the same.
Tian Huang looked at the map on the table and saw several red circles of all sizes on it. He knew that it was the location of the added building.
Bai Ruixue said again: This is the bamboo forest in front of the village. I want to split most of the bamboo forests and build a building on both sides of the gate outside the village. As the residence of the martial arts masters of the village, a square that can accommodate thousands of people is built in the center of the gate of Lingyun Village. Then there are other places outside the village and several other courtyards. However, these places must be irrelevant to Lingyun Village, so that the effect of protecting the village can be achieved. Is this good?
Tian Huang pointed to the map and said: These places on the circle with red pens are the location of the Xinzhuangyuan?
Bai Ruixue Road: That's right, I've already studied it. There are no buildings in these places yet, which are suitable for us. Next to Yuehu, the orchid tea garden on the south side of the manor, the Beili Lake and the west side of Lingyun Village, each built a manor. In this way, Lingyun Village has our strongholds in the north, east, south and west directions. If something happens to Lingyun Village, these outer strongholds can help each other to take care of them.
Everyone saw that these places were all entrances and exits of underground secret rooms, and they knew Bai Ruixue’s intention.
Bai Ruixue continued: Regarding the talismans in these places, it is really inconvenient for us to contact the local officials in Hangzhou. As for the land deeds, General Manager Laotian handled the matter with the government.
Tian Huang nodded and said: I know how to do this, but I don’t worry.
Bai Ruixue Road: When the contract is completed, if there is any problem before the construction starts, if there is any place to be retained and where it needs to be demolished, General Manager Tian can discuss with Shangguan Liu. Then he said to Shangguan Liu: If you have to build a house after the battle, you will be fine.
Shangguan Liu naturally understood what she meant. The reason why Bai Ruixue asked him to supervise this matter was mainly to ask him to keep the secret entrances and exits so that the workers would not find or destroy them.
Shangguan Liu nodded to her and signaled to understand
At this moment, a martial artist walked into the hall, beat a thousand, and reported to Bai Ruixue: Master Bai, Master Li of the Water God Gang has something to ask for.
Bai Ruixue was stunned when she heard this, thinking: Why did the leader of the Water God Gang suddenly come here? Could something happened to Luo Kai in Xiaoyingzhou? As soon as his mind was laid, he asked: Where is his person?
The martial arts master said: Waiting outside the Lingxiao Pavilion Gate
Bai Ruixue turned to Tian Huang and said: Manager Tian, please sit up, I will go to welcome the guests and then go back. Then he walked out of the hall with the martial artist.
Not long after, Bai Ruixue had accompanied Li Zhan in.
Everyone saw it and stood up
Bai Ruixue introduced to everyone and asked Li Zhan to sit down. The maid immediately sent the fragrant tea. Bai Ruixue asked: Gangmaster Li is here today. I wonder what is the price for me?
Li Zhan took out Luo Kai's letter and handed it to Bai Ruixue with both hands: The owner of Luo Zhuang has an important letter to him and handed it to Li, and he came to hand it to Bai Miss.
Bai Ruixue heard that it was Luo Kai's letter and immediately took it.
Everyone in the hall was full of doubts, knowing that if Luo Kai had not had any important matter, he would never do this.
When Bai Ruixue saw the letter, her face changed immediately. She handed the letter to the strange mother-in-law and said: Grandma Qiu, please take a look!
After reading it, my mother-in-law handed over the letter to Bai Ruixue and shook her head and said: It's really as I thought at the beginning. These two people are really having a big problem. Fortunately, we were prepared for a long time and didn't know what happened in the village. If not, the consequences would be great.
Bai Ruixue nodded and said to Bai Wanting: Wanting! You go out and order the martial artists outside the hall. No one is allowed to enter this hall without my permission.
Tian Huang heard it while hearing that something big must have happened in the village. He thought that he was not from the village and it was not suitable to stay, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Bai Ruixue quickly spoke out to keep him, but Tian Huang firmly said that he had something to do and could not keep him more.
Seeing that he decided to leave, Bai Ruixue had to get up and see him.
Bai Ruixue sent Tian Huang and sat down when he came back. Li Zhan said: The Lord Luo also told Miss Bai to talk to the next thing... At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, wanted to speak but stopped, as if he didn't know if he should continue.
Bai Ruixue knew the reason why he was worried, so he said: Everyone here is his own, Gangmaster Li might as well say it directly
Li Zhan nodded and said: Master Luo said that the Thousand-faced Twin Ninja who had been involved in Guizhuang was the junior brother and sister of the two Yin and Yang elders. The martial arts of the two are not known yet. How should they deal with them be dealt with by Miss Bai
He also said that it would be better not to hurt them for the time being. When Lord Luo rescued Qingyun and Qiuyue first, he would then make a decision on the situation. Shangguan Liu, Bai Wanting, Dong Yiyi and other three people did not see the content in the letter. Li Zhan was confused when he heard this. What two people? What a thousand-faced double-bearing? He didn't know what he was talking about?
Dong Yiyi asked quickly: Sister Ruixue, I don’t understand at all. What did Brother Luo Kai say in this letter? Bai Ruixue said the content in the letter.
The three of them were shocked after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the two seniors Qingyun and Qiuyue in the village were actually disguised as fake!
Moreover, even the sisters of the Fang family who are daughters can't see any clues. This kind of disguise ability is really horrifying.
Dong Yiyi suddenly stood up and said angrily: These two people are so hateful, I will catch them now.
The strange mother-in-law glared and shouted: Don't mess around. Since they are already in the village, they are still afraid that they will fly into the sky. What are you anxious about? Why don't you sit down for me?
Dong Yiyi made a small mouth and had to sit down obediently
Shangguan Liu pondered for a while and said: This matter is really extraordinary. If we explain the truth to the sisters of the Fang family, we may not believe it. But if we don’t tell them, we don’t know if these two people will harm them. This is really hard to do!
Bai Ruixue nodded and said: Shangguan Liu is right. In order for these two people not to hurt their sisters, only the plan is to take these two people first and then make it clear to the sisters of the Fang family. What I am even more worried about is that they can pretend to be Qingyun and Qiuyue, and they can also pretend to be any of us. If they don’t capture these two people early, there will be endless troubles to stop them. What will be done after the fight? Then wait until Luo Kai comes back to make plans.
Dong Yiyi heard Bai Ruixue's words and shook her hand and said: I'm not a fake, I'm the true Yiyi, don't misunderstand me. Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw it.
The strange mother-in-law said: I had already realized that day. The martial arts of these two people were extremely ordinary. It would not be too difficult to capture them. However, since they have such strange skills, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no other more powerful means. Do not be careless when acting. Be sure to capture them in one fell swoop and never give them a chance to fight back. Everyone nodded and said yes
At this time, Bai Ruixue asked: Gang Master Li, the master Luo mentioned in the letter just now that we must cooperate with his actions in the evening to rescue Qingyun and Qiuyue. For all the details, please ask me to discuss with Gang Master again. I wonder what is going on?
Li Zhan said: Regarding the rescue of two seniors, Lord Luo has already discussed with me and said that it is very common, but it is just a common strategy to attack the east and west.
Bai Ruixue said: Oh! How did you hit the east and west? Gangmaster Li, please tell me
Li Zhan said: That night, Lord Luo and an insider from Chang Gang, rescued the two seniors first, and hid them on the east side of the island. At the same time, the Chang Gang gathered ten large ships and made a feint attack to the west of Xiaoyingzhou. When the officers and soldiers on the island saw that we were attacking in large numbers, they would definitely put their main force on the west side of the island. At that time, I sent another ship to the east of the island and quietly drove to the east of the island and took the two seniors away.
Bai Ruixue asked: Master Luo said that we would cooperate with him, what's going on?
Li Zhan said: In order to find a plan, Miss Bai asked to send a few more experts to take a boat to the island to rescue people. At that time, there will be strong enemies to obstruct them, so we will no longer have to worry.
Bai Wanting said: Isn’t your gang doing this obviously against the government? The consequences are really great!
Ji Zhan smiled and said: It's not the first time that my gang has fought against the government. Once more, it's not a big deal. Besides, this time I didn't really attack the island, but I just acted in the west of Xiaoyingzhou. They can't do anything to me.
Dong Yiyi frowned and asked: Where is Brother Luo Kai? Do he still want to stay on the island?
Li Zhan said: I have also asked Master Luo about this, but Master Luo said that since he promised that the princess would stay on the island for ten days, if there is no special reason, he should stay for ten days before the Lord Luo told me that what a man said should be one thing and must not betray others.
Dong Yiyi raised her mouth and spat: It depends on who she is treated. The princess is so eccentric. She must be either a good person, or even a broken trust in her.
Shangguan Liu said: Look at your angry look, are you afraid that the princess will take away Lord Luo?
Dong Yiyi glared at him and said angrily: I'm not worried. Although that princess is charming, she wants to seduce Brother Luo Kai. I believe she doesn't have the ability yet!
Shangguan Liu smiled and said nothing again
When Dong Yiyi saw his disapproving look, she felt even more angry: Why are you Shangguan Liu laughing at? Am I wrong?
Bai Wanting also interrupted and said: There are so many women in our village, who is not better than that witch? How could Brother Luo Kai look down on her Yiyi? Don’t listen to his nonsense.
Shangguan Liu smiled slightly: How could a man think so simply? To know that cat doesn’t eat fishy food, you should be careful, don’t regret it then!
Dong Yiyi laughed and said: Brother Luo Kai is not like you. I am very confident in him. Don’t be fooled by me.
The mother-in-law saw that the three of them became more and more dissatisfied, and scolded: You three should be a little sensible when you speak. You are so stupid that you speak in front of the guests. Are you shy? When the three of them heard this, they suddenly remained silent.
Li Zhan was also young, so of course he understood the nature of young people. He would not mind these trivial things, so he had to laugh with him.
Everyone continued to discuss for a while, and they made an appointment to save people. Li Zhan said goodbye and left Lingyun Village.
As soon as Li Zhan left, the strange mother-in-law stood up and said: Now it’s time for us to do something. You should first lead the Fang sisters away. Be more natural in attitude and never let these two people see the flaws. Do you know?
Seeing that there was a good show right away, Dong Yiyi was immediately excited: I know, let me tell you everything.
Bai Wanting said: Yiyi! I'll go with you. After the words came, the two hurried out of the hall.
I saw Luo Kai's light fur and slowly strap away from Panlongxuan leisurely and wandering around the island. He walked slowly for a while, and when the time was right, he used the same trick again and threw the person who was following him. With a turn, he instantly came to the stone cave under the slope.
Luo Kaifu approached the cave and found that there was a package in the corner of the cave. He knew that Shi Liang had prepared the object he needed.
He saw that there was no one around, so he walked into the cave and opened the package. He saw a black tights inside and another oil cloth was placed inside.
Luo Kai took out a letter from his body and used the tart cloth to wrap the letter tightly. He then began to take off his clothes, put on the black clothes, then put the wrapped letter into his clothes, and finally wrapped all the clothes he took off.
Everything was done, Luo Kai walked out of the cave, poked his head out of the crack of the rock under the slope, and quietly opened it up. Seeing that there was no one on the slope, he walked out of the rock beach and jumped into the lake.
Luo Kai was probably discovered. As soon as he jumped into the lake, he dived into the water. He dived dozens of feet under the water in one breath before floating out of the water. Looking forward, the boat group on the other side was covered with black paint, and there were only a few lights.
Luo Kai dared not neglect, so as not to waste time. He used his internal strength and swam directly to the other side of the lake like a big fish.
Luo Kai swam for about half an hour and finally approached the destination. Suddenly, he heard a whirlwind, and came from the group of ships in front: Who is the person coming? Swim here quickly. Luo Kai looked in the sound and saw a large ship, but there were several big men standing on it, and he kept stroking.
After that big man drank like this, dozens of ships rushed out one after another. Suddenly, the torch blew the lanterns, illuminating the lake, and the shouts became more and more
Luo Kaixin thought: The Water God Gang is really guarded strictly. Before I swim near, I have already discovered it for them. But these people shouted so loudly and shouted with fearlessness. Are you not afraid of the government discovering it?
Luo Kai was about to speak out his mind, but then he thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. He thought that he could be so rash and reckless before he was confirmed.
At that moment, I stopped talking and went straight to the big boat
When he swam several feet from the big boat, he saw a small boat coming towards him
On the boat, there were four people standing, one of them holding a lantern with his right hand. Seeing that Luo had not said a word at all, he even added a little more spirit, and shouted in a deep voice: Who are you, please come!
The boat immediately rowed in front of Luo Kai. The man carrying the lantern on the boat certainly refused to let him get on the boat. He was about to ask clearly, but before he could speak, he saw Luo Kai climbing on the side of the boat with his right hand, secretly radiating his true energy. The man had already jumped out of the water and landed gently on the bow of the boat.
The four of them felt a flash in front of them and saw Luo Kai standing in front of them.
The four of them were shocked when they saw the person coming with such skills. They pulled out their weapons, took a few steps back, and set up a pose to meet the enemy.
Luo Kai stood at the bow of the boat, and clasped his fists to the four people and said: Luo Kai is in Lingyun Village, and if you have any important matters, please see the leader of the Li gang of the Youth League. Please pass on your behalf.
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned
The man holding a lantern had seen Luo Kai at the ferry before, but now it was dark, and Luo Kai's hair was wet, covering half of his face. In addition, Luo Kai's movement was too fast just now, so he couldn't see clearly for a while. Now that he heard this, he quickly raised the lantern and looked at Luo Kai's face. Seeing that the person in front of him was Luo Kai, he immediately bowed and said: I don't know if it was the owner of Luo Manor, and he was offended just now. If there was any inappropriateness, please forgive me. Everyone held their fists and saluted.
Luo Kai hurriedly replied: It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Luo visited late at night and never asked you to help him. It's really Luo's fault. You guys don't have to be too polite.
The man carrying a lantern suddenly turned around, gestured to the ship, and then shouted: The owner of Lingyun Zhuangluo arrived. When the men on the ship heard it, they immediately calmed down.
The boat leaned against the big boat and saw that a wooden ladder had already been placed on the big boat. A familiar voice sounded from the boat: It turned out that it was Lord Luo who was here in person, and Li was in a far-reaching way. Luo Kai raised his head and looked up. Seeing that Li Zhan was already standing next to the boat, Luo Kai picked him up and stepped on the ladder and got on the boat.
As soon as Luo Kai got on the boat, he saw two rows of people standing on the boat, all dressed in black. Everyone saw Luo Kai stepping onto the boat and bowed to him together.
Luo Kai immediately clasped his fists and bowed to everyone.
Li Zhan came forward and said intimately: I heard his subordinates say that someone is approaching. At that time, Li was really shocked. I also thought that he was a master who could have such great skills in such a cold weather. Unexpectedly, the person who came was the Lord of Luo Zhuang.

Li Zhan saw Luo Kai suddenly come here, and he had already realized that if there was no important thing, Luo Kai would not have come here from Xiao Yingzhou. He immediately said: Lord Luo is too disgusting. As long as someone Li can do, Lord Luo will come with the order! Let's go to the cabin and say slowly, Lord Luo asks you! Then walk side by side towards the cabin.
As soon as the two of them sat down, they saw a subordinate coming in with a large jar of wine and pouring two big bowls for them.
When the man left the cabin, Li Zhan said: In such a cold weather, Lord Luo could actually travel from Xiaoyingzhou to here. I believe there are indeed few people in the world with such superb skills. Li is really impressed!
Lord Luo, please drink a little water and wine to drive away the cold and then talk about serious matters. Li, first, respect the owner Luo, first. Luo Kai was not polite, so he respected each other with Li Zhan. Fang said: Luo came to see Lord Li today, and there was something to ask... Then he imprisoned Qingyun Qiuyue and his wife on the island. How did he and Shi Liang plan to save people? They all told Li Zhan.
After hearing this, Li Zhan nodded and said: So that's the case. It's no wonder you are nervous when you are Lord Luo! As for the matter of receiving and saving people, it will fall on Li Zhan.
Luo Kai took out the wrapped letter from his arms and handed it to Li Zhan: If you have any trouble, the leader of the gang sent it to Lingyun Village for Luo. This letter is extremely important and must not fall into the hands of others. Your gang must hand it directly to the white girl in my village.
Li Zhan took the letter and said: Don't worry, Master Luo, Mr. Li will handle this matter personally, and he will never dare to pretend to others.
Luo Kai thanked him again and again, so he continued to discuss how to save people and other matters with Li Zhan. He talked about incense sticks for several times. Seeing that it was already late at night, in order to avoid Zhu Ying's suspicion, he knew that he could not stay anymore, so he said goodbye to Li Zhan.
Li Zhan immediately sent an order and sent someone to send Luo Kai back to Xiaoyingzhou with a small boat.
Seeing that he was sincere, Luo Kai was unable to refuse, so he took a small boat and left until he was about half a mile from Xiaoyingzhou. Luo Kai left the boat, jumped out of the lake, and swam back to Sihu Biezhuang.
The next day, in the inner hall of Lingxiao Pavilion, the Bai sisters, Dong Yiyi, the strange mother-in-law, Shangguan Liu, and the Changxing Silver Manager Tian Huang were sitting in the hall discussing business affairs.
I only heard Bai Ruixue say: Manager Tian, I have read the plans and account books you sent to me before.
Three silver numbers, eight jewelry stores, ten seal shops, and six calligraphy and painting shops, the total number is more than 127,000 taels of silver. This amount is not huge. Just follow what you proposed by General Manager Tian, but I still have a problem. Although the above high-end industries have abundant profits, they are also a way of income, but in these industries, there is not much manpower, which is not very helpful to some poor people! General Manager Tian, according to your opinion, can you add more industries?
Tian Huang said: This is certainly possible, but there are not many industries that can be used with a large number of people. Moreover, most of these industries are monopolized by gangs. The monopoly of interests is like the land transportation in Jiangnan, which is controlled by the White Tiger Gang; in terms of waterways, there are also some people who support it. If we want to reach into these industries, it may not be easy to say it badly. There is a possibility of using guns and knives at any time. It is undoubtedly to make more enemies. If we want to add other industries, we must consider the pros and cons to avoid making mistakes and avoid being out of control when we get it.
After hearing this, everyone also felt that this was very reasonable
Bai Ruixue pondered for a moment and said: Is there nothing else besides these industries?
Tian Huang nodded and said: Actually, I have thought about this problem. We can consider operating some industries such as wine shops and silk shops. The investment is not very large, but these industries have limited income and should not be too heavy.
Tian Huang paused and said: Miss, don't worry, now we are just starting out in Hangzhou, we will set the foundation here first, and then develop in other places. As long as there is an industry to do in a certain place, we will do it. This is better than grabbing people's jobs and avoiding a lot of trouble. After hearing this, Bai Ruixue had to nod.
Bai Wanting said: I wonder what Mr. Tian has to say about recruiting martial artists?
Tian Huang smiled and said: I am not my talent on this, so I really dare not give any comments.
Shangguan Liu suddenly said: I have thought about this, but I don’t know if it’s right.
Bai Ruixue smiled and said: Shangguan Liu, you have always been smart and clever. The strategies you came up with must not be much different. Let's talk about them and let everyone take a closer look.
Shangguan Liu couldn't help but feel shy and said: Sister Bai, don't make fun of me, actually, I can't say what the plan is. I just think that if we randomly find some people who only know a few tricks or ordinary martial arts, no matter how many of us are, we just care about it. If there is a problem, these people can't help themselves and will also damage the reputation of Lingyunzhuang. I wonder if you think I'm right?
The strange mother-in-law first agreed and nodded and said: Shangguan Liu is right. I also think that everything should be efficient, especially when recruiting martial artists, it is not about the number of soldiers: the soldiers are not about the number of people. If they are all guys who only know how to eat, they are just for nothing.
Shangguan Liu continued: A good player is really strong and better than ten mediocre men. The most important thing is to avoid the crowds of people in the village and reduce spies taking advantage of the situation to get involved in the village. The last sentence, as it is to the point of the matter, everyone nodded and said it was
Bai Wanting said: But it is not easy to hire such a master!
Shangguan Liu said: Actually, it seems difficult on the surface. If you use some thought, it will not be difficult. We can choose a recruitment day and go to various places to promote it. In the name of recruiting a guardian coach, we will set up a ring on the farm and then screen it. Isn’t that okay?
Bai Ruixue pondered for a while and nodded: This method is very feasible. As long as we Daoming is recruiting a coach for the village, if we are not a person with considerable martial arts skills, we will definitely not dare to come and consider the position of coach.
Dong Yiyi said: Everyone will come to recruit the coach at that time. Wouldn’t there be only the coach in the village? Where did the martial arts come from?
Everyone heard this and was stunned. They couldn't help but look at each other and then laughed loudly.
Dong Yiyi didn't understand what they laughed at and said coquettishly: I... am I wrong?
Shangguan Liu smiled and said: I didn't say you were wrong. Although we are using the signboard of recruiting coaches, we are undoubtedly the best martial arts masters. Of course, those who have a little less martial arts master will be willing to be martial arts masters. Wouldn't we hire them if they are willing to surrender? Dong Yiyi finally understood and couldn't help but applaud.
Bai Ruixue said to Tian Huang: Manager Tian, I still have something I want you to help
Tian Huang said: Miss, please say
Bai Ruixue Road: Although Lingyun Village is spacious, once people are recruited, the number of people will naturally increase a lot. According to the layout of the village, the number of rooms in the building is really not enough. I want to build a few more buildings outside the village in case of emergency needs.
Tian Huang said: This question is not difficult. I wonder if there is a suitable place for the young lady?
Bai Ruixue said: I already have a preliminary plan. As he said that, he took out a map from his clothes, displayed it on the table, pointed to the map and said: This is where Lingyun Village is located, and I don’t plan to change the layout of the buildings in the village, just let him keep it the same.
Tian Huang looked at the map on the table and saw several red circles of all sizes on it. He knew that it was the location of the added building.
Bai Ruixue said again: This is the bamboo forest in front of the village. I want to split most of the bamboo forests and build a building on both sides of the gate outside the village. As the residence of the martial arts masters of the village, a square that can accommodate thousands of people is built in the center of the gate of Lingyun Village. Then there are other places outside the village and several other courtyards. However, these places must be irrelevant to Lingyun Village, so that the effect of protecting the village can be achieved. Is this good?
Tian Huang pointed to the map and said: These places on the circle with red pens are the location of the Xinzhuangyuan?
Bai Ruixue Road: That's right, I've already studied it. There are no buildings in these places yet, which are suitable for us. Next to Yuehu, the orchid tea garden on the south side of the manor, the Beili Lake and the west side of Lingyun Village, each built a manor. In this way, Lingyun Village has our strongholds in the north, east, south and west directions. If something happens to Lingyun Village, these outer strongholds can help each other to take care of them.
Everyone saw that these places were all entrances and exits of underground secret rooms, and they knew Bai Ruixue’s intention.
Bai Ruixue continued: Regarding the talismans in these places, it is really inconvenient for us to contact the local officials in Hangzhou. As for the land deeds, General Manager Laotian handled the matter with the government.
Tian Huang nodded and said: I know how to do this, but I don’t worry.
Bai Ruixue Road: When the contract is completed, if there is any problem before the construction starts, if there is any place to be retained and where it needs to be demolished, General Manager Tian can discuss with Shangguan Liu. Then he said to Shangguan Liu: If you have to build a house after the battle, you will be fine.
Shangguan Liu naturally understood what she meant. The reason why Bai Ruixue asked him to supervise this matter was mainly to ask him to keep the secret entrances and exits so that the workers would not find or destroy them.
Shangguan Liu nodded to her and signaled to understand
At this moment, a martial artist walked into the hall, beat a thousand, and reported to Bai Ruixue: Master Bai, Master Li of the Water God Gang has something to ask for.
Bai Ruixue was stunned when she heard this, thinking: Why did the leader of the Water God Gang suddenly come here? Could something happened to Luo Kai in Xiaoyingzhou? As soon as his mind was laid, he asked: Where is his person?
The martial arts master said: Waiting outside the Lingxiao Pavilion Gate
Bai Ruixue turned to Tian Huang and said: Manager Tian, please sit up, I will go to welcome the guests and then go back. Then he walked out of the hall with the martial artist.
Not long after, Bai Ruixue had accompanied Li Zhan in.
Everyone saw it and stood up
Bai Ruixue introduced to everyone and asked Li Zhan to sit down. The maid immediately sent the fragrant tea. Bai Ruixue asked: Gangmaster Li is here today. I wonder what is the price for me?
Li Zhan took out Luo Kai's letter and handed it to Bai Ruixue with both hands: The owner of Luo Zhuang has an important letter to him and handed it to Li, and he came to hand it to Bai Miss.
Bai Ruixue heard that it was Luo Kai's letter and immediately took it.
Everyone in the hall was full of doubts, knowing that if Luo Kai had not had any important matter, he would never do this.
When Bai Ruixue saw the letter, her face changed immediately. She handed the letter to the strange mother-in-law and said: Grandma Qiu, please take a look!
After reading it, my mother-in-law handed over the letter to Bai Ruixue and shook her head and said: It's really as I thought at the beginning. These two people are really having a big problem. Fortunately, we were prepared for a long time and didn't know what happened in the village. If not, the consequences would be great.
Bai Ruixue nodded and said to Bai Wanting: Wanting! You go out and order the martial artists outside the hall. No one is allowed to enter this hall without my permission.
Tian Huang heard it while hearing that something big must have happened in the village. He thought that he was not from the village and it was not suitable to stay, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Bai Ruixue quickly spoke out to keep him, but Tian Huang firmly said that he had something to do and could not keep him more.
Seeing that he decided to leave, Bai Ruixue had to get up and see him.
Bai Ruixue sent Tian Huang and sat down when he came back. Li Zhan said: The Lord Luo also told Miss Bai to talk to the next thing... At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, wanted to speak but stopped, as if he didn't know if he should continue.
Bai Ruixue knew the reason why he was worried, so he said: Everyone here is his own, Gangmaster Li might as well say it directly
Li Zhan nodded and said: Master Luo said that the Thousand-faced Twin Ninja who had been involved in Guizhuang was the junior brother and sister of the two Yin and Yang elders. The martial arts of the two are not known yet. How should they deal with them be dealt with by Miss Bai
He also said that it would be better not to hurt them for the time being. When Lord Luo rescued Qingyun and Qiuyue first, he would then make a decision on the situation. Shangguan Liu, Bai Wanting, Dong Yiyi and other three people did not see the content in the letter. Li Zhan was confused when he heard this. What two people? What a thousand-faced double-bearing? He didn't know what he was talking about?
Dong Yiyi asked quickly: Sister Ruixue, I don’t understand at all. What did Brother Luo Kai say in this letter? Bai Ruixue said the content in the letter.
The three of them were shocked after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the two seniors Qingyun and Qiuyue in the village were actually disguised as fake!
Moreover, even the sisters of the Fang family who are daughters can't see any clues. This kind of disguise ability is really horrifying.
Dong Yiyi suddenly stood up and said angrily: These two people are so hateful, I will catch them now.
The strange mother-in-law glared and shouted: Don't mess around. Since they are already in the village, they are still afraid that they will fly into the sky. What are you anxious about? Why don't you sit down for me?
Dong Yiyi made a small mouth and had to sit down obediently
Shangguan Liu pondered for a while and said: This matter is really extraordinary. If we explain the truth to the sisters of the Fang family, we may not believe it. But if we don’t tell them, we don’t know if these two people will harm them. This is really hard to do!
Bai Ruixue nodded and said: Shangguan Liu is right. In order for these two people not to hurt their sisters, only the plan is to take these two people first and then make it clear to the sisters of the Fang family. What I am even more worried about is that they can pretend to be Qingyun and Qiuyue, and they can also pretend to be any of us. If they don’t capture these two people early, there will be endless troubles to stop them. What will be done after the fight? Then wait until Luo Kai comes back to make plans.
Dong Yiyi heard Bai Ruixue's words and shook her hand and said: I'm not a fake, I'm the true Yiyi, don't misunderstand me. Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw it.
The strange mother-in-law said: I had already realized that day. The martial arts of these two people were extremely ordinary. It would not be too difficult to capture them. However, since they have such strange skills, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no other more powerful means. Do not be careless when acting. Be sure to capture them in one fell swoop and never give them a chance to fight back. Everyone nodded and said yes
At this time, Bai Ruixue asked: Gang Master Li, the master Luo mentioned in the letter just now that we must cooperate with his actions in the evening to rescue Qingyun and Qiuyue. For all the details, please ask me to discuss with Gang Master again. I wonder what is going on?
Li Zhan said: Regarding the rescue of two seniors, Lord Luo has already discussed with me and said that it is very common, but it is just a common strategy to attack the east and west.
Bai Ruixue said: Oh! How did you hit the east and west? Gangmaster Li, please tell me
Li Zhan said: That night, Lord Luo and an insider from Chang Gang, rescued the two seniors first, and hid them on the east side of the island. At the same time, the Chang Gang gathered ten large ships and made a feint attack to the west of Xiaoyingzhou. When the officers and soldiers on the island saw that we were attacking in large numbers, they would definitely put their main force on the west side of the island. At that time, I sent another ship to the east of the island and quietly drove to the east of the island and took the two seniors away.
Bai Ruixue asked: Master Luo said that we would cooperate with him, what's going on?
Li Zhan said: In order to find a plan, Miss Bai asked to send a few more experts to take a boat to the island to rescue people. At that time, there will be strong enemies to obstruct them, so we will no longer have to worry.
Bai Wanting said: Isn’t your gang doing this obviously against the government? The consequences are really great!
Ji Zhan smiled and said: It's not the first time that my gang has fought against the government. Once more, it's not a big deal. Besides, this time I didn't really attack the island, but I just acted in the west of Xiaoyingzhou. They can't do anything to me.
Dong Yiyi frowned and asked: Where is Brother Luo Kai? Do he still want to stay on the island?
Li Zhan said: I have also asked Master Luo about this, but Master Luo said that since he promised that the princess would stay on the island for ten days, if there is no special reason, he should stay for ten days before the Lord Luo told me that what a man said should be one thing and must not betray others.
Dong Yiyi raised her mouth and spat: It depends on who she is treated. The princess is so eccentric. She must be either a good person, or even a broken trust in her.
Shangguan Liu said: Look at your angry look, are you afraid that the princess will take away Lord Luo?
Dong Yiyi glared at him and said angrily: I'm not worried. Although that princess is charming, she wants to seduce Brother Luo Kai. I believe she doesn't have the ability yet!
Shangguan Liu smiled and said nothing again
When Dong Yiyi saw his disapproving look, she felt even more angry: Why are you Shangguan Liu laughing at? Am I wrong?
Bai Wanting also interrupted and said: There are so many women in our village, who is not better than that witch? How could Brother Luo Kai look down on her Yiyi? Don’t listen to his nonsense.
Shangguan Liu smiled slightly: How could a man think so simply? To know that cat doesn’t eat fishy food, you should be careful, don’t regret it then!
Dong Yiyi laughed and said: Brother Luo Kai is not like you. I am very confident in him. Don’t be fooled by me.
The mother-in-law saw that the three of them became more and more dissatisfied, and scolded: You three should be a little sensible when you speak. You are so stupid that you speak in front of the guests. Are you shy? When the three of them heard this, they suddenly remained silent.
Li Zhan was also young, so of course he understood the nature of young people. He would not mind these trivial things, so he had to laugh with him.
Everyone continued to discuss for a while, and they made an appointment to save people. Li Zhan said goodbye and left Lingyun Village.
As soon as Li Zhan left, the strange mother-in-law stood up and said: Now it’s time for us to do something. You should first lead the Fang sisters away. Be more natural in attitude and never let these two people see the flaws. Do you know?
Seeing that there was a good show right away, Dong Yiyi was immediately excited: I know, let me tell you everything.
Bai Wanting said: Yiyi! I'll go with you. After the words came, the two hurried out of the hall.
