On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, on the morning of New Year's Day, the people of the ancient city of Chang'an kept the New Year and stayed up all night.
Chang'an City is full of colorful lanterns hanging high, dragon and lion dances, setting off firecrackers to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, burning paper money to worship ancestors, everywhere is a lively scene.
Bashang is particularly lively compared to Chang'an City, because nearly half of the people here are bachelors without families, and they can't get together with their families to celebrate the New Year during the New Year, so they naturally have to go to the tavern to spend the New Year together with their friends.
A tavern, at the innermost table, sat Yang Fan, Ren Wei, Abdullah and Abbas.
Originally, Ren Wei and Abbasid did not dare to sit, but if there was a person standing next to them in such a tavern, it would be too much of an eyesore, so they could only sit.
Abdullah frowned, looked at the bustling scene in the tavern, and said loudly to Yang Fan: "You and I are so comfortable in the inn, why do you have to come here" His voice is not big, there are people on the street outside the store who are setting off firecrackers, it is the kind of firecrackers with saltpeter, the sound is loud, the fire is loud, the smoke is billowing when it is fired, the tavern is full, singing wine orders, talking and laughing loudly, the sound shocks the roof tiles, he doesn't shout loudly Yang Fan can't hear it at all, even if he speaks loudly, he has to face other people's ears.
Yang Fan still had a big beard under his chin, and leaned into his ear and said loudly: "It's lively here, this is the grand festival of our Dongtu people, you and I have no home here, what's the point of hiding in the inn in the cold, it's better here, haha"" The official mansion has been sealed, and the officials have also gone for the New Year, but this night, Yang Fan changed his appearance and went to Ba Shang again.
Abdullah shook his head, very unimpressed by this kind of oriental carnival, he approached Yang Fan and asked loudly, "How are you preparing for things over there?"
Yang Fan said: "The dry firewood has been set up, even the oil has been spilled, everything is ready, how about your side" The firecrackers set off outside the door caused a choking smoke to roll into the tavern, Abdullah coughed and waved his sleeves to fan the smoke, and said to Yang Fan: "What else, I have saved the camel's four hooves and tied them to the baking rack, now I only need a little spark" "Damn, your Sanhe Club is too arrogant, if it weren't for the New Year, Lao Tzu would crush your eggs" "Let your mother's stinky bullshit our brothers of the Three Rivers Society are afraid that you will come, as long as you dare to come, next year's Chinese New Year's Eve will be your sacrifice" Abdullah hadn't finished his sentence, and the red-faced guests at the two tables next to him had somehow quarreled, and as soon as Abdullah turned his head, he saw cups, plates, bowls, and chopsticks flying together, and the two square tables were lifted into the air, and the two big men pounced on them, punching and kicking them.
The whole tavern was in an uproar, and then the other gang members belonging to the East and West Alliances joined the battle, this time the tables, chairs and benches all flew up, Ren Wei had already stood up, took a table that had been kicked and flew in front of him, although the little Abbasid did not seem to be good at martial arts except for a sharp mouthful of teeth, but he also jumped up and loyally protected his master.
The group fighting in the tavern soon developed into the streets, and the disciples of various gangs who wandered around the streets and alleys for the New Year joined the battle group one after another, and some people didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know where the main battlefield was, only knowing that they were fighting their opponents, so they threw themselves at the oncoming opponents, and the chaos quickly spread throughout the Ba.
The hotel shopkeeper did not move, stood firmly behind the counter, and shouted loudly: "Our Weishui Gang is neither ASEAN nor Western League, and the heroes of all walks of life do not violate the river water, and the heroes of all walks of life have borrowed my place to settle grievances, disrupted my family's business, and ruined my family's things. ” Yang Fan smiled at Abdullah and said, "Look, this Mars has it, do you still need to look for it?"
Abdullah's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "You're ready to do it."
Yang Fan's gaze slowly moved outward, the people fighting in the tavern had already been involved in the crowd of people fighting on the street, countless people waved their fists, you give me a punch, I will give you a kick, and some people hugged each other and scuffled on the ground, one by one, the torn robes were messy, the beaten nose was blue and the face was swollen, but they didn't know why they were fighting.
Yang Fan said: "From now until the Shangyuan Festival, the government will close the seal, this time is just the right time for Ba Shang to make a fuss, after the fifteenth day of the first month, it will not be their turn to be in the limelight." ” Abdullah took a long breath and said, "When is it going to start?"
Yang Fan said: "Tomorrow, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, a good day, or don't see blood." ” Yang Fan stood up and walked out, and Abdullah asked, "Where are you going?"
Yang Fan didn't look back, waved his hand and said, "Find someone and keep the year."
The streets are still a chaotic battlefield with scuffles, and Yang Fan is like a loach, drilling into the crowd, and disappearing after three clicks and two clicks.
Abdullah grabbed his beard and struggled for a long time before he let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "I'll find someone too, and I'll keep the New Year."
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the fifth day of the first month, it is the sixty-sixth birthday of the old man Qin Zeyuan, the head of the Five Guilds, and the Qin family is especially grand this year.
San Langjun, who had been stationed in Yangzhou for a long time, also rushed back to Bashang with his wife and children to celebrate the New Year and celebrate the old man's birthday.
A son and grandson Chenghuan kneeled, sat around the hearth, and the old man Qin, who had worked hard for half his life, only felt satisfied, as long as it was like this every year, there was nothing to ask for in this life.
The children and grandchildren are all extremely filial, and they are cautious in front of him, and they all coax the old man to be happy and say that the old man Qin is very relieved.
During this period, the housekeeper had quietly reported that the major gangs of the Eastern and Western Alliances were beating up on the streets again, the whole town had been disrupted, and many disciples in the Five Elements were injured, and the Qin family had suppressed the news: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, we have to make the old man happy, and we have to talk about it tomorrow when the sky falls." ” Qin Zeyuan is already in his sixties, and he has little energy, so he says that he is keeping the year, and how can he not even take a nap in the middle.
It was almost midnight, and Old Man Qin felt a little tired, and was about to signal his wife Ru to help him go and rest, when the second steward hurriedly walked in again.
The sky didn't fall, and all he was holding was a sticker in his hand, but the Qin family man took it and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately rushed over and whispered a few words in his father's ear.
Qin Zeyuan's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Lead him in from the corner door, and wait for him in the inner study for his father."
The man was brought into the study, a tall man with a black "mouth clock" wrapped tightly from head to toe, with a cloak on the collar of his robe, and a hood over his head, so that he could not even see his face clearly when he lowered his head.
This person entered the study, raised his hand and lifted his soft hat, and Qin Zeyuan, who was hurrying forward, suddenly opened his mouth and fixed there, this person he recognized, because this person had come to sell him some petite and charming Medina slave girl, this person was the big food merchant who had chartered an inn in the town.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already experienced and seen his worship stickers and was sure that the secret seal was correct, Qin Zeyuan couldn't believe his eyes at all, he fixed his mind, and then exclaimed: "You are here on the order of Gongzi, Gongzi is really powerful, and you are actually there."
Abdullah smiled slightly, and said, "Even my Hu man can be used by him, right?"
Qin Zeyuan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I didn't know that Mr.
Abdullah was my own person before, if you offend, please forgive me."
I don't know if Mr.
Abdullah is here tonight, but what does Childe command?"
The Five Elements Society, Qin Zeyuan, is a member of the Hidden Sect.
Nowadays, the profits of operating Caoyun are not attractive to the wealthy families, with their network resources and abundant capital, they have a profitable business to do, but Shen Mu cares.
Shen Mu started from the end of Wei, to fight against the Xianzong who was far larger than him at that time, any power that could be fought for and used, even if it was only a little, he would not give up, so no one knew that the Yinzong had quietly laid an ambush all the way at the Caoyun Wharf.
Shen Mu supported the Five Elements Society at the beginning, just to open up financial resources, and through the Five Elements Society to recruit heroes from all walks of life for his own use, when the Yin Sect gradually grew, the interests of the Five Elements Society were not much in Shen Mu's eyes, and from then on, he rarely gave orders to the Five Elements Society.
It wasn't until the last time the two sects of Xianyin started a food war in Chang'an, and the Five Elements Society, which was already like a tasteless food and a pity to discard, played an unexpected role for the Yinzong.
In order to defeat Jiang Gongzi at that time, Shen Mu not only used all his grain reserves, but also loaned a large amount of grain and grass to the Li family, Guo family and other Shandong families who supported him, and also used the corrupt handle of some officials to extort money from them, which can be described as doing everything.
But when the grain arrived, it still couldn't play a role if it wasn't transported to Chang'an, and the Five Elements Society played a big role at that time.
And this time, what will Shen Mu do with the Five Elements?
After Abdullah sat down, he said slowly: "A lot of things have happened in Ba recently, and I am here for this. ” Qin Zeyuan was surprised and said, "Childe already knows what happened here."
Abdullah smirked wryly: "He already knew about what happened here before it happened. ” Qin Zeyuan pondered for a while, and two essences suddenly burst out in a pair of old eyes: "Could it be that the rise of Shunzimen is the handiwork of Gongzi?"

Abdullah said: "Even if you don't win, it's not far away" Qin Zeyuan was shocked and said: "How can this be, what does the son want to do?"
Abdullah smiled and said, "That's why I'm looking for you tonight." : Sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets Every reader has a ticket for the work of the year, please vote in the red letter below the title of the book on the page of the drunken pillow "selection ta is the best work of the year in 2013", with your subscription, likes, rewards and other consumption, the votes will be given again, Mo Ji voted in time, thank you 。
