Chapter 53 He Songtao in Jiangning
Because Along and Fengzhi said almost the same thing, Yun Zangfeng also heard a few words, but the two of them still did not mention why Xiaohu was missing and what difficulties did the Dragon and Tiger Gang encountered. They only mentioned that two months before Yun Zangfeng arrived, the second young master of the He family from Tai'an City in Qilu came to Yangzhou.
The He family in Tai'an City, Qilu, is the most famous family near the East China Sea. Even in the entire land of China, the He family can be regarded as one of the top major families within the area ruled by the Han and Tang dynasties. The He family's industries are spread all over the world, with the upper-class opening academies, buying land, and the lower-classing ones involving black casinos, brothels, etc.
The contemporary head of the He family once said this: He family's property is a hundred miles away from the capital. Some people think he is exaggerating, but in fact this is a relatively modest statement. The He family's business is spread all over the Han and Tang dynasties, and even has some private business dealings with the four major families and the court.
Some people have also heard that the prince's tutor Ruan Buyi of the dynasty once said that the He family's wealth is not much inferior to the national treasury, so no one knows how much the He family's real wealth is. They all have one concept, that is, many. Some poor families who have heard of the He family's wealth fantasize about the He family's warehouse, which is a mountain of gold and silver, and cannot eat it all. However, for the He family, the biggest wealth should be his industry, because these industries are all silver dolls that cannot be eaten, and they can provide the He family with a lot of silver every day.
Compared with the legendary four major families of the He family, the Duan family, the Hong family, and the Ouyang family, the legendary four major families that cross the world of immortal cultivation and the mortal world, it is naturally not worth mentioning. It is not that in terms of money, of course money is also a symbol of strength. However, each family of the four major families has become more prosperous and prosperous as the He family today. The accumulation of generations has made the four major families countless wealth.
The most commendable thing about the four major families is that they have built a bridge with the world of cultivation and used their force and wisdom to ensure the prosperity of the family and have been passed down for a long time. Of course, although the He family is not as good as the four major families, they are not comparable to those of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. To be honest, if the He family wants to move the Dragon and Tiger Gang, they just need to sneeze, and they can't even use their fingers.
For the Dragon and Tiger Gang, he is one of the candidates for such a huge family heir. He Songtao, the second son of the He family, came to Yangzhou City.
Women are often the root of men's struggles in the world, especially beautiful women. He Songtao is a young man. Everyone who knows the He family knows that he is the "stupid son of the landlord family". It is completely different from his elder brother He Songyue. He is also smart. He has long told his elder brother that he only eats, drinks and entertainment, and does not care about the family industry. If the elder brother wants it, he will take it all, and he will not fight with him at all. As for whether the younger brothers and sisters will compete for power and throne with his elder brother, it is not something He Songtao can manage.
Since he talked to He Songyue, in order to make He Songyue believe in his sincerity, He Songtao began to bring some of his confidants and started to play in various places in China with a lot of money. His father and his elder brother didn't care about him. Anyway, there were their money shops everywhere, and there was not enough money, He Songtao just took the second young master's sign to withdraw money.
What his father hopes to see is family harmony and harmony, so as not to destroy the family and end up in a cold and extremely cold way. His brother He Songyue thinks how much money can he spend? The position of the head of the He family is the most precious. As long as the business is still there, the money can be earned back.
He Songtao likes to make friends with heroes all over the world. Whenever he goes, he will invite famous local swordsmen, swordsmen, knights, etc. to eat and drink, and spend no less than a thousand taels of silver in one trip.
He also likes women. As soon as he arrived in Jiangnan, he rented a pleasure boat and went down the Grand Canal. He collected many beautiful women along the way, either taking advantage of their skills, coercion, or using his tyrants to the forefront. He did everything he could. The fate of the woman who was played with by He Songtao was not tragic. He often got a generous amount of "repaying money", which was called "a hundred days of kindness for a couple". This kind of kindness must be repaid, otherwise wouldn't it be despaired?
But not every woman will be tempted by money. Some vicious women often hit the head and died on the pleasure boat, or jumped into the river to commit suicide. There are probably more than a dozen women who have killed since He Songtao went out.
Since Qianjiaoge is a famous gentle and heroic tomb in Jiangning County, how could the second young master of the He family, who claims to be the most hero in history, let's go and visit it?
That night, He Songtao's pleasure boat approached Jiangning County City. The major brothels and brothels that received the news and the head of the He family's industry all opened the convenience door, waiting for He Songtao's visit. The owner of the money shop prepared a banquet and silver, and personally waited by the ferry to wait for the arrival of the pleasure boat.
But Mr. He Er didn't buy the accounts of these people at all. He didn't care about family business. He was concerned about so much. He was happy and he immediately didn't care whether there would be no one to eat the banquet. Whether the merchants waiting for him would be heartbroken, and he got off the boat and headed towards Qianjiao Pavilion.
The waterfront where He Songtao's pleasure boat was docked was the territory of the Dragon and Tiger Gang. As usual, a few minions from the Dragon and Tiger Gang went up to collect some protection fees. He Songtao's confidant said: "Do you know whose boat this is? You dare to charge protection fees casually? I'm afraid you're impatient."
The minions have seen too many people in this area for protection fees, and they have seen more arrogantly than the people of their group. Most of them have no ability and are scared to death after seeing the sword. At this time, the Dragon and Tiger Gang is already a leader in Jiangning County, and is not afraid of causing trouble at all.
When the minion saw that a servant was so arrogant, he felt a little unhappy, and said, "I just collected one tael of silver as a protection fee. That was the kindness of grandpas and the rules that the head of the family said. If you give it with pleasure, we will not violate the river water. But since you can't settle the account happily, the protection fee has also increased, and you will collect ten taels of silver."
He Songtao's confidant snorted coldly and wanted to take action. The He family is rich and powerful. The person whom Master He Er took out of the house would naturally not be a soft-legged shrimp. However, when Mr. He Er came out of the pleasure boat, he did not have the temperament of an ordinary playboat when he saw this posture. He only said: "Ten taels of silver, give it. You must be happy when you come out to play. Don't disturb my interest because of these things."
A confidant who was serving the daily life immediately handed over ten taels of silver. The moment He Songtao came out of the pleasure boat, a small crack appeared in the pleasure boat, and the spring light suddenly burst out inside. The minion's eyes were sharp. He just glanced at it and saw that the jade body was everywhere inside. The spring light was extremely good. For a moment, even the silver forgot to take it. It was not until He Songtao coughed twice before he came to his senses and took it over.
He Songtao said: "We paid the protection fee, this is your rule. But your eyes are not very regular. Although I am just playing with those girls, since I am not tired of playing, no one can see it. Since your eyes do not follow the rules, follow my rules, let's leave your eyes. I heard that fish like to play beads, and I don't know if the fish in the river have this hobby."
The minion felt that He Songtao was not telling a joke. That ruthlessness was not something that could be felt from his opponent during an ordinary street fight. He asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"
He Songtao only said a word and walked forward. A creepy scream sounded behind him. Five or six minions from the Dragon and Tiger Gang were all dug out and threw them into the river to feed the fish.
Feng Zhi in Qianjiao Pavilion is checking the accounts of that month, and by the way, he is in charge of some of the problems that Qianjiao Pavilion has encountered recently. Since Along and Feng Zhi got married, Luyuan has become Feng Zhi’s favorite place. The environment here is quiet, and you can always figure out what time you have. Along knew that Feng Zhi liked it, so he took the initiative to modify the Luyuan from the inside out. Anyway, Liu Wenqing is not there, and even if Liu Wenqing is there, he will not continue to live in Luyuan.
When Feng Zhi checked the accounts, he met Mr. He Er, who liked women, who came. Seeing Feng Zhi covered his tulle, it aroused He Songtao's curiosity. Along the way, He Songtao also played with many beautiful women, but gradually became a little tired of it. After all, he would be tired of eating delicacies every day. This woman covered his tulle looks good in shape, and she thinks she looks good, and she covers her face with a tulle. It seems that she is also a pure woman, which makes He Songtao, who has always wanted to change his taste, and can't help but move his index finger.
What was next was nothing more than the playboy's eldest son forcibly robbing the girl, but Feng Zhi was unmoved. No matter whether He Songtao moved out of his family background or used a lot of money to attract Feng Zhi, he could not make Feng Zhi break his body. Although Feng Zhi was unmoved and had been thinking about how to escape, He Songtao's minions were staring at him and had no way to escape.
After a long period of entanglement, Feng Zhi finally welcomed the reinforcements, Xiaohu. Xiaohu hurriedly received a message from the brothers at the dock. The pair of tricks from all the brothers at the dock were dug out and thrown into the river. However, there were other docks with people. It was too late to come to support them, leaving only the pleasure boat floating on the river, and only two He Songtao's men were left on the boat.
The minions did not dare to act rashly, and said they would go to the General Box to report first, so they ran back to the former site of the Liu Escort Agency. Now the Longhu Gang General Box report was reported by others, and the other people guarded the pleasure boat and waited for an opportunity. After hearing the news, Xiaohu brought about twenty people to the dock quickly. Regardless of what was happening around, more than twenty people rushed up to the uniforms of the two left on the boat. Although the two were also good players, they could not beat four hands with two fists, not to mention that they were not able to exercise with one to ten. They just hurriedly resisted a few moves, and were defeated by Youxin Wuxin and tied up.
Xiaohu asked the whereabouts of the person in charge. These two people were not tough people, and they said everything with just a few tricks. Xiaohu asked the two brothers to escort the two back to the Longhu Gang and hand it over to Along for handling, and then left two people to guard the pleasure boat to prevent the women on the boat from secretly venting information. He led the rest of the people to rush to Qianjiao Pavilion where He Songtao went.
Xiaohu couldn't help but be anxious. After all, his sister-in-law was still reading the account book in Qianjiao Pavilion. Looking at the situation on the pleasure boat, He Songtao must be a chromogen. He couldn't help but worry about Feng Zhi's safety. As he thought about it, he accelerated his feet a little bit.
