Five corpses were placed in front of Beggar Gang leader Hong Qi. In addition to Shen Lian and Bai Laosan, there were also three corpses of Beggar Gang elders. They were all the leaders of the Dongcheng Tangkou. Now only Zhu Dazhuang was left among the top leaders of the Dongcheng Beggar Gang.

Zhu Dazhuang's neck was covered in cold sweat. Someone gave him a message today, not allowing him to go to the prison gate to meet Bai Laosan. Zhu Dazhuang thought for a long time, and volunteered to squat at the gate of Donglaishun instead of greeting Bai Laosan. He didn't expect that Shen Lian would really die. Got it!

"At first glance, this injury was caused by a fire gun. Look, it has penetrated both sides. There is a small hole in the front and a hole as big as a bowl in the back. As long as it hits the chest, there will be no one alive. In the whole capital, there is only Liaodong in Tongzhou. The soldiers have this kind of fire blunderbuss. The fire blunderbuss we have in the capital camp are not so powerful." The invited soldier took a look at the corpse and came to a conclusion without further understanding.

Hong Qi waved his hand and asked people to take Wu Zuo away.

"It must be the Liao soldiers who did it. I will go to Tongzhou and kill them all." Zhu Dazhong roared and left with a large group of people.

"Pah!" Zhu Dazhuang felt his eyes dazzled, and someone slapped him in the face loudly.

Covering his face and looking at the ferocious-looking Hong Qi, Zhu Dazhuang wanted to open his mouth to curse, but he swallowed it back into his stomach.

"When will it be your turn to speak?" Hong Qi's eyes were like those of an eagle, and the person he stared at felt very uncomfortable.

"Master, I...!" Zhu Dazhuang covered his face. Seeing Hong Qi's sharp eyes, he immediately swallowed back what he said. As long as the master said a word, Zhu Dazhuang knew that he would never see the sun tomorrow.

"Listen to me, go back and sleep obediently. Just pretend that nothing happened. Tomorrow, Zhu Dazhuang, you will continue to take people to the door of Donglaishun, and I will keep a close eye on Donglaishun. Anyone who dares to continue making noise, I will kill you now." Pull out your valve."

Hong Qi's threat was very effective. In an instant, all 100 people in the courtyard were gone. Only Hong Qi and deputy gang leader Ma Shun were left, facing the five corpses on the ground.

"It must have been done by the Liao army. No one else has such a blunderbuss. It seems that Dong Laishun has begun to fight back. How about I take people to capture Dong Laishun tonight?" Ma Shun saw. Everyone had left, so he tentatively asked Hong Qi.

"Damn, I didn't do anything. They did. They definitely can't let this matter go down like this. If I don't bring out the Liao Army's pee, I won't be the leader of the Beggar Clan. Give me the order, all the Liao Army's I'll smash all the business, whether it's a cheap store or a house builder. Damn it all for me. Don't they have a warehouse in Tongzhou? Burn it for me!"

Looking at the row of corpses on the ground, Hong Qi became extremely angry.

Although the two sides were competing, they were still in the realm of mutual restraint. The Beggar Gang had all the advantages, but no one was hurt. Now the Liao Army actually took the initiative to provoke trouble and killed the Beggar Gang members. This is absolutely intolerable, otherwise the Beggar Gang would The brothers in the gang will think that the boss of him is useless. It will be difficult to control these people in the future.

"Master, this is not an easy matter to handle. There are shares of all the adults in the capital in Bianyifang, and the construction site outside Xibianmen is said to have 9,000-year-old shares. There are Jinyi guards guarding them all day long, so it is easy for us to move those places. .It really pissed off all the adults in the capital, and our lives were not easy.

You want to burn down the Tongzhou Warehouse, where hundreds of Liao soldiers can be stationed. They have muskets in their hands, and they can even defeat the Tatars. The Governor-General of the Fifth Army dare not interfere with their affairs, and we are the only ones...

…! I’m afraid it’s not enough for one spoonful of stew.

If the people don't fight with the officials, just be patient. Besides, Mr. Qian has repeatedly warned you. Just keep an eye on Dong Laishun of the Liao Army and don't do other business. Boss, Mr. Qian is the God of Wealth, you can't mess with him." Ma Shun was frightened.

Suddenly, if there was a full-scale war with the Liao army, the implications would be too great.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just let Dong Laishun go. You can swallow this, but I can't." Hong Qi spat fiercely.

"Master, why don't we bring people to smash Donglaishun tonight. There are large glass windows outside. If you smash it, the Liao army will suffer a lot of damage."

Nowadays, glass is very valuable, and there is still a price but no market. This is the only one in Beijing that dares to use large floor-to-ceiling glass windows. If all these floor-to-ceiling windows are really smashed, it will not be a small sum of money.

"Kill one of our people and destroy his restaurant?" Hong Qi was obviously dissatisfied with Ma Shun's idea.

"Master, please think about how much a piece of glass costs. There are only a few people in the capital who can afford floor-to-ceiling glass, and not even the imperial palace can take advantage of it. If we smash it for him, the Liao army will definitely be heartbroken."

"Okay! You and your people will destroy Dong Laishun for me tonight." Hong Qi was obviously not willing to accept it, but there was no good way now. The Liao Army's business was too involved with the big guys in the capital, and it was all him

A person who can't afford to offend. What's more, Mr. Qian also specifically ordered that the matter should not be made too big and should only be limited to Donglaishun.

The moon is very good tonight. Ai Husheng and his people are guarding the roof of Donglaishun. A platoon of troops is deployed on the roof of Donglaishun. Ai Husheng does not believe that the soldiers equipped with muskets and grenades cannot defeat the beggars.

At noon, Master Wu sent word that he had killed Shen Lian, and Ai Husheng knew that the Beggar Gang would take revenge tonight.

They don't dare to go to Biianfang, where even the emperor's shares are owned. If that place is taken over, the Beggar Clan in the capital will be doomed!

There are hundreds of Jinyi guards guarding the construction site outside Xibian Gate. No one dares to challenge the Jinyiwei on the ground in the capital, not even the Beggar Clan.

There are two platoons of troops stationed at the warehouse in Tongzhou. There is also a repaired turret with a repeating machine gun on the top. If the Beggar Gang wants to attack there, it is tantamount to committing suicide.

The only weak point is Dong Laishun, which is the only business of the Liao Army. The most likely place for the Beggar Gang to attack is the Dong Laishun Building. If nothing else, just smashing the glass with stones will cause huge losses.

Not a small amount of money.

Although the glass is made from sand, it is not cheap to transport it from Changxing Island to the capital. In particular, the glass is too brittle and is not convenient for long-distance transportation. If the sea is rougher, more than half of the glass will be lost.

Getting off the ship from Tianjin to the capital was even more exhausting. Thinking about the hardships involved, Ai Husheng felt his head hurt.

"Master Ai! Look, here we come!" Xie Youcai was standing next to Ai Husheng with a knife in his hand.

Following the direction of Xie Youcai's finger, Ai Husheng looked over. Sure enough, a large group of people came running through the shadow of the alley. The leader had a fat head and big ears, as fat as a pig. No matter how he looked, he looked like Zhu Dazhuang.

Zhu Dazhuang's heart was beating, and Ma Shun was behind him. He had to rush forward, and now his heart was in his throat. Shen Lian and Bai Laosan were both better than him in skill, but they were still beaten into pieces. .The fat on my body seems unlikely to be able to block a flying bullet.

There were still more than a hundred steps away from Dong Laishun, when I saw a flash of light from the roof of Dong Laishun.

Before Zhu Dazhuang realized what was going on, several minions around him fell down. One of them had his head blown open, and his face was covered with sticky brains. At this time, Zhu Dazhuang heard Gunshots.

Ma Shun was also shocked. He did not expect that the Liao army would really dare to shoot.

"Charge! There will be a heavy reward if you charge forward. It will take a long time to reload their muskets. Charge me, there will be a reward if you charge forward!" It turned out to be the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan, who quickly recovered from the shock. He shouted and urged. The beggars under his command rushed towards Dong Laishun's building.

Before they could take two steps, another row of guns came. The beggars who rushed in front fell to the ground one after another. Two of them missed their vital points and rolled on the ground in pain. The screams were terrifying. Zhu Dazhuang felt hairy all over after hearing this.

The people at the front of the team suddenly stopped, and the people at the back rushed forward, and the team immediately became chaotic.

The chaos only lasted for a moment, and another row of guns came. Many people in the chaotic team were shot. No one needed to shout at this time. Everyone ran back. Those who went into the alley, those who took the main road, took the main road. .Anyway, the further away from Donglaishun, the better.

A bullet passed through a man's chest and grazed Zhu Dazhuang's arm. Although it did not hit Zhu Dazhuang, it opened a large hole in his arm.

Ma Shun was more unlucky. A bullet penetrated his calf. The calf bone was immediately broken. Fortunately, Zhu Dazhuang led someone to carry him away, so he was not trampled to death by the panicked beggars.

With just three rounds of volley, the beggars dispersed. Ai Husheng shook his head proudly, beggars are just beggars and are definitely no match for the army.

Hong Qi and others were at the entrance of Dongcheng Hall when they heard the "crackling" gunshots, and their hearts tightened. Unexpectedly, Dong Laishun was on guard. This further proved that they were the ones responsible for the assassination of Shen Lian. They just didn't know whether Ma Shun and Zhu Dazhuang could do it. Successfully smashed Donglaishun.

If we really hit Donglaishun, it would be worthwhile to kill a few people. Anyway, these days, there are so many people coming to the capital to beg for food.

Before Gang Leader Hong could wait too long, Zhu Dazhuang came back with a group of people carrying Ma Shun.

One of Ma Shun's legs was drooped, and his face was as pale as paper. His messy hair was soaked with cold sweat and clung to his forehead, making him look embarrassed.

"The deputy gang leader has been shot." Seeing Hong Qi, Zhu Dazhuang immediately ran over with a cry.

"Where's the injury?" Hong Qi didn't move, and he was in front of Ma Shun in an instant.

"Damn, my legs are broken. Gang leader, we can't defeat them. They have muskets, but we only have bricks." Although his head was sweating from the pain, Ma Shun still held Hong Qi's hand.

Now is the time when the Beggar Gang's survival is at stake, so we must not let this impulsive gang leader go out and cause trouble.

"Hurry up and help him in!" Hong Qi saw the old Ma Shun and his face twitched in pain. He yelled, picked up Ma Shun and entered the house.

The Beggar Gang is a Jianghu gang, and injuries are inevitable. They have their own orthopedic doctors, so there is no need to trouble others. However, the Beggar Gang has a special name for its doctor, veterinarian!

The veterinarian took one look at Ma Shun's leg and shook his head helplessly. He walked out of the room and said to Hong Qi: "Master, the entire bone in the calf is shattered. It cannot be cured at all. If it is not cut off, the person will not survive."

.Look...!"

"Heal him for me, I don't want you to cut his legs." Hearing that the old man would become a lame in the future, Hong Qi almost went crazy. He hugged the veterinarian's shoulders and shook him like a Lantern Festival.

Seeing that the veterinarian's thin body was about to be shaken to pieces by the gang leader, Zhu Dazhuang led his men to hold Hong Qi back.

"Head, the doctor is really bad. The Liao army's muskets are so vicious that the bones are broken." The veterinarian was so anxious that he almost cried. Not to mention his two brushes, even if he invited the royal doctor from the palace,

It doesn’t work either.

"Veterinarian, cut it for me. Don't be afraid!" Ma Shun's roar came from inside the room. From the moment he was shot, he knew that his leg would not heal.

The veterinarian looked at Hong Qi, whose eyes were red and almost going crazy. He immediately got into the back room and picked up a stick.

"Deputy Gang Leader Ma, please be patient." After saying that, he hit Ma Shun on the back of the head with the stick in his hand. Ma Shun's head tilted, and the man rolled his eyes.

The starry night repelled the intrusion of the beggar gang. The next morning, the beggars who had been standing in front of Dong'an Market for many days finally disappeared. The merchants were very happy. They all sprinkled water on the street and washed it. These days, the place has been occupied by beggars.

It was so stinky, especially at the entrance of Donglaishun. The beggars had placed several baskets of dung, and the air was filled with flies. The smell was even worse.

Xie Youcai directed the men to wash the front door with water several times. Although there were no customers all day and they were exhausted, everyone felt happy because they had been angry with the beggars for so long.

, when they saw the beggars running away without a trace, they all knew it was the trick of their big shopkeeper.

For a time, the story of Dong Laishun's heroic fight against the Beggar Gang was widely circulated in Dong'anmen Market.

As for Shuntian Prefecture, they did not dare to interfere with the affairs of the Liao army. What's more, the ones who died were still a few beggars. In these days and months, if a few beggars were not pulled out of the capital to die of starvation and illness, they would not care about so many more.

Several superior officials didn't ask, and the officials naturally didn't bother to take care of them.

Everyone turned a blind eye and acted as if nothing happened.

Ai Husheng learned from Zhu Dazhuang that due to Ma Shunli's persuasion, Hong Qi, the leader of the beggar gang, finally gave in and stopped sending beggars to stand guard in front of Dong Laishun Gate of Dong'an Market. These days, Hong Qi seems to have disappeared.

Haven't heard anything about him!

Zhu Dazhuang was appointed by Hong Qi as the temporary spokesperson of the Dongcheng Beggar Clan. With the example of Shen Lian in front of him, he did not dare to cause trouble to Dong Laishun.

After waiting for half a month, Dong Laishun's business slowly returned to 80% of the previous level. These days, no one has come to make trouble. Ai Husheng felt relieved, and it seemed that he had done the right thing in assassinating Shen Lian.

Call the Fifth Master and Xie Youcai to explain the affairs in the capital. Ai Husheng is going to Tianjin Wei to take a boat to North Korea. Li Xiao needs some ores to get close. He needs to go to North Korea to buy them.

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, the Fifth Master was happy to have some time to relax. Together with Xie Youcai, he and Xie Youcai set up a table of wine for practice, and respectfully sent Master Ai off to the capital.

After drinking, Ai Husheng felt a little fuzzy. He took a carriage and drove away from the gate of the capital. He also wanted to go to the warehouse in Tongzhou to have a look and warn against sneak attacks by villains. He was not sure now whether the beggar gang was real.

It is always necessary to give in and take precautions before they happen.

Just as the carriage was less than a mile away from the city gate, suddenly a dark shadow jumped out of the dense trees on the roadside. The guards just noticed the road, but they never thought that people would fall from the sky. When the guards reacted, they raised their hands and

When the swords and guns rushed over.
