In a yard at Yangjinggang Wharf, from the gate to the inner courtyard, every three meters on both sides of the road was a man wearing a blue pair of short clothes and a box-piece cannon. The courtyard was brightly lit. Except for a few limited places, the entire yard was illuminated like daytime.

The yard is very flat, with seven or eight platforms placed. If the weather is good, it will be crowded with gamblers. However, it is raining today, so few people will come. Third Master was too lazy to greet those two miscellaneous people, and there are troubles today. So he simply knocked them out and asked the young men to wrap the platform and close today.

The third master originally knew that Tang Fei was a big man from Hebei. He didn't say which city he was from, and no one dared to ask. In his early years, due to labor-management disputes, he gathered a group of brothers to ask for accounts with some unkind businessmen. After becoming famous, he gained a foothold in Shanghai.

Later, after a long time, the third master brought his brothers Kuan and Renyi's reputation to spread. The men who came from Hebei to make a living continued to come and the reputation of the Hebei Gang gradually became popular.

There were long rows of chairs in the conference hall, and there were big-name figures of different ages sitting on the chairs. At this time, they were talking quietly about what happened today.

"The Third Master is here-!" A shout echoed throughout the lobby. The big guys immediately stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the screen.

Behind the screen, a middle-aged man in his forties was wearing a long gown, a sparse mustache, and a round glasses. If it weren't for the slimness brought by the clean and neat squid on his head, nine out of ten people would misunderstand this person as a pedantic old scholar, and the rest would probably say he was a dog-headed military advisor.

But the only person like this is the Third Master.

The third master sat down neatly, and four thugs lined up behind him.

"Third Master!" Everyone greeted each other.

The third master waved his hand and took a cup of tea from a girl next to him. He blew it a little, took a sip and put it down, "Have Zhenzi returned?"

When he heard the third master’s question, someone next to him immediately replied: “Not yet! I’ve been there for two or three hours! I don’t even have a letter, which makes people worry.”

Someone immediately said, "Third Master, why don't you let me take someone to see you? No matter what foreigner he is or not, is it still reasonable for him to occupy our hotel?"

"Yes! Yes!"

"That's right, I cut these gangs of unopsy-eyed ones!"

As soon as his words were spoken, they immediately echoed. Obviously, the smooth sailing of the past two years made them feel a little arrogant.

The third master waved his hand and said, "No hurry, let's talk about it when Zhenzi comes back!"

The big man sitting on the first chair on his left is Hu Wanquan. Although his name is rough, his mind is fine. He bared his big golden teeth and said, "Third Master, I won't object to it, but are we going to make preparations? If the other party is not malicious, brother Zhang Zhen is a little surprised. We can't cram the Buddha at the moment, right?"

The third master was very calm and said, "No need. In the public concession, foreigners dare not kill people by chance. Moreover, you don't know how clever Zhenzi is. Let's talk about it when he comes back!"

After saying it for the second time, the people below dared not be noisy anymore and were waiting with wide eyes.

Suddenly a man in green ran in and reported: "Third Master, is the Ninth Master back?"

The third master stood up and said, "How is it? Are you injured?"

"No!"

"What are you waiting for? Let him come in quickly!"

"yes!"

The man in green turned around and left. In a short while, Zhang Zhen trotted in all the way.

"Third Master, I..."

Zhang Zhen just clasped his fists, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the third master and said, "Don't talk about those nonsense, hurry up and tell me what's going on? You don't know that this hotel is the only intersection between us and the powerful and noble people, how important it is to us!"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhen looked at the third master's face. He did not dare to neglect and immediately said everything he had to talk with Cao Hong, as well as what he saw, thought, and heard.

The big guys below were all puzzled when they heard this, and Hu Wanquan also wondered: "What? They are here to inquire about the news. The people below thought they were here to find fault and had run away for a long time?"

Zhang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "You can say that too!" He lay the little yellow croaker in his sleeve on the table and said, "San Master, look, this is what someone gave tonight, saying it was the money for staying in the hotel!"

The other big guy couldn't hold his face anymore and jumped up and said, "Impossible, this is a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy. The third master cannot believe it. These Japanese devils are secretly silence!"

The third master glanced at him and snorted without saying a word.

Hu Wanquan slapped the table and said, "Sit down for me, your subordinates are timid and afraid of things. What if they have done the wrong thing and are still ashamed? Shut up!"

The man glanced at the third master's face and couldn't say a word, so he could only sit down.

"San Master, what should you do when you think about this?" Zhang Zhen asked. In fact, he was a little scratched. He had been on the street for many years and had dealt with the Three Sects and Nine Aristocrats many times. This was the first time he had done this.

The third master frowned and drank a sip of tea, saying, "What do you think about this Cao Hong's strength?"

"Very strong!" Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Do you remember that we had contacted the American Captain last year and were invited to the military camp to watch them perform fucking?"

The third master was surprised: "There are elite foreign devil soldiers?"

Zhang Zhen shook his head and said, "It's only strong but not weak! And judging from their spirit, they are all good players who have seen blood."

Hu Wanquan shone his head and shouted: "Hey, this is so evil. A Chinese man and a large group of American devils actually claimed to come to Shanghai to grab territory to make a living. I know I'm dreaming!"

The third master turned the jade ring on his thumb, pondered for a while, and said, "Since he has news, we will give him news. Isn't Lao Qi's subordinates a large group of newspaper boys or shantytowns? It's not easy for us to find out some news."

"Third Master!" A man with purple face stood up opposite the pole with shock and said, "You are not kidding! You are riding on our heads to shit, so you can bear it?"

"It's not that serious!" The third master raised his hand and picked up the little yellow croaker and threw it over, saying, "There is an attitude in this way, and we can't speak morally.

Besides, if we can exchange the hotel with some news, this matter will be perfectly resolved. When the brothers who returned to their hometown to visit relatives before the New Year come back, it will not be too late for us to find a place. And if you don’t think about it with your elm head, now that we are fighting, can our hotel still be there?"

The purple-faced man touched his head, sat down and said silly: "Well, I must be beaten!"

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "The Third Master is right! If this matter is done, we can also see their strength through the other party's actions. If it is really a cross-jianglong, maybe with this friendship that is not acquainted, we can also get some benefits from the other party!"

Hu Wanquan said: "There are other benefits?"

Zhang Zhen blinked and said, "Why do you say that the other party also has an American note? At least it's easy to talk to the police station! If possible, maybe our arms can be solved from them!"

The third master knocked on the table and said, "Okay, Zhenzi doesn't need to say much to them. You brothers are all brainless. Even if you talk nonsense, they can forget about it. You will leave this matter to you. What will happen in the end? We will wait for your news!"

"Okay!" Zhang Zhen nodded.

Suddenly the phone ringing in the corner rang, and a man in green answered it and looked up and said, "San Master, I'm looking for you!"

The third master frowned and turned his head to look at the Western wall clock on the wall. He felt that it was eleven o'clock in the evening. Who called here so unruly?

He reached out and the man in blue carried the phone over with a long line.

"Who?"

"Thank you, Master San, for being very wise. If things go well here, I will definitely say something."

A strange voice came, and the third master was slightly stunned, glanced at Zhang Zhen, and asked tentatively with his thoughts: "Cao Hong, Mr. Cao?"

"You are polite, Master Tang San, how dare I call you a sir in front of you!" Cao Hong lay on the bed, looking at the picture in the black and white book, with a smile on his lips.

Hearing the third master's words, Zhang Zhen was slightly stunned, and then his face looked ugly.

"Haha." The third master didn't answer this. He still made a fuss that he understood how the other party got his phone number, and did not dare to say more. He said: "Mr. Cao, you are polite. I already know your request. Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem. I will let Zhang Zhen talk to you."

"Then, thank you Master Tang San!" Cao Hong hung up the phone with a chuckle.

When the Third Master put down the phone, Hu Wanquan couldn't help asking: "Third Master, what's wrong? Is that boy?"

The purple-faced man also said, "What do he want to do? Is this a demonstration or a challenge? Is there anyone who bullies our Hebei Gang? "

Another man looked around in confusion: "Is there a spy?"

Zhang Zhen said with an ugly expression: "Third Master, it may be that when I came back, I was followed!"

The pole jumped up and shouted, "Hey, I have to cut them down today!" As he said that, he was about to go out.

The third master suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Stay honestly for me!"

The whole lobby was quiet.

The third master closed his eyes and sat for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Zhenzi, it's not your fault for this matter. This is someone showing his muscles! Tell us whether we have this matter or not, and they can do it themselves. The difference is only a matter of time. Ask us to choose! Is your Changsu called Dogzi?"

"Yes!" Zhang Zhen nodded.

"Well, I know that kid's skills. If he can fall into it, he will not be discovered. It seems that these people are really not easy!" The third master slowly opened his eyes and said with a cold light: "It's okay, we will eat it and find an opportunity to return it. For this time, I asked Lao Qi to use snacks. If you have any ideas, I will wait until the hotel is brought back!"

"Yes, Third Master!" Zhang Zhen nodded vigorously, with a serious expression.
