Fortunately, the debris sprayed on Omubu's body was not fatal, they were all flesh and blood. At that moment, he looked at the river anxiously regardless of the pain on his body. After searching for a while, he did not find any traces of Hatu!

He sat down at the stern of Qiuyue's boat in Han Palace, and asked someone to capture the others on the boat, while removing the debris from his body by himself, while calming himself down.

"What a good thing. I actually made so many tricks on this small boat. Needless to say, this explosive was triggered by a spring machine. It's enough to use your hands, just use your feet. When this guy was pretending to find that token, he took the opportunity to use his feet to start the mobilization mechanism. When he ran out of the boat, he also made the spring. "

"The machine spring is just a device for igniting the lead, and it takes a short time for the lead to ignite the lead. During that time, Hatu has jumped into the river first!"

The explosion immediately attracted the attention of the city, and many people came here, including people from the Guangzhou Prefect's Office.

At this time, Omubu finally picked out the last wood chip on his body, and then slapped his head with a sudden slap in his head despite the blood stains all over his body.

"This guy is so amazing. This explosion can not only help him escape, but also remind the relevant personnel in the city. If I guess it is right, when the explosion sounds, our identity will be exposed. It seems that Hatu has made complete plans in the morning."

"But who will participate in such a secret matter? Obviously, neither the Guangzhou General nor the Guangzhou Prefect will come forward in person. It must be the private people trusted by the Qing court who are contacting Hatu, otherwise Hatu would have been exposed long ago"

"As soon as the explosion sounds, people in the city who often contact Hatu will appear!"

Thinking of this, he ran to the shore regardless of the pain, and said to the people around him: "Salvage the bodies of our soldiers, and at the same time requisitioned fishing boats to search for this section of the river to see if there are any traces of Hatu"

"Yes, major, what should I say if the person from the Guangzhou Prefectural Office asks?"

"Just say that the ship has hidden gunpowder, unfortunately it caught fire and exploded."

When he returned to the city, he immediately told Nian Wangwo and Su Wenying who came here.

"Tell me what you think"

These two obviously didn't pay much attention.

"Job Department Suggestions"

"First, immediately let the thousand wolf soldiers surround Li Guangwen's military camp in case of trouble"

"Second, use a thousand people to watch the Yongziying camp so that they will not be disturbed"

"Third, after our army took over this city, it arranged a post in all the important places and immediately sent a quick horse to patrol the various places to see if they had seen anything unusual"

"Exception?"

"Yes, Hatu will never contact the government directly. He will definitely use civil forces supported by the government. Most of them are gangs and guild leaders. These people will not do whatever they want after they know the explosion signal on the dock. They will most likely ask the government for instructions"

"Hatu is a bannerman, and he disdains to contact the prefect of Guangzhou. Then, most of the people who contact him are bannermen and officials, and all the bannermen and officials here live in the inner city, so he just needs to send people to ask about the posts staring at the inner city."

"At the same time, all the city gates were closed, and it was said that something big happened at the wharf. Someone wanted to rebel and needed to search the whole city. Only after clarifying it will decide when to open the city gate again"

....

Just as Omubu and others were in a state of confusion, the sudden arrival of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, and the explosion on the wharf quickly spread to Foshan Town, the largest city in Nanhai County.

As one of the four famous towns in the Qing Dynasty, Foshan Town provided taxes that accounted for most of Nanhai County. Therefore, although the rank of the Guangzhou Prefect is greater than that of Nanhai County Magistrate, the Nanhai County Magistrate is popular and even above the Guangzhou Prefect.

The price on the surface is the same as that on the Guangzhou magistrate, but secretly it is higher than the latter. You can imagine how rich he is.

Foshan has many industries, and the two largest ones are iron smelting and ceramics. Because the Pearl River water network is densely populated, there are many ships, so the demand for ship nails to build ships is naturally huge. At this time, there were hundreds of workshops that specialize in making ship nails.

Such small-scale businessmen are not favored by big businessmen, but due to the large number of employees, they naturally formed guilds. In order to control the internal and compete with other industries, they not only support thugs themselves, but also sponsor some martial arts schools as backers.

The largest martial arts school in Foshan nowadays is Li Tongkuan, who teaches Shaolin boxing. The museum is called "Xinglinchun". It is an on-the-scene clinic, but in fact it also has a martial arts school. The Qing people were very taboo about places where they blatantly used martial arts school signs to recruit apprentices. Therefore, many martial arts schools use other businesses to cover up their main business.

In addition to martial arts schools, fighting businesses generally appear in the form of big cart shops, and escort shops can show them openly.

Li Tongkuan teaches Nan Shaolin boxing. A year ago, another medicinal material shop appeared opposite it, called "Wuyichun". They also do the martial arts center business behind their backs. They are a group of Fujianese people who claim to be authentic Putian Shaolin boxing, and they stole a lot of Xinglinchun's business.

The martial arts hall where Zhou Jixun defected to was Wuyichun, but now this medicinal material shop has been sealed by the government's "brethren". Since Wuyichun and Xinglinchun are competitive, most people in Foshan thought it was caused by Xinglinchun.

Wu Yichun's people received the news early, and all ran away before the government yamen runs to the door, leaving only an empty courtyard, which confirms their name as "breach".

Xinglinchun is the business behind Foshan's ship nail industry.

Xinglinchun, back hall.

Two people were whispering there.

A person who is about forties, born with thin and dry hair, but his joints are thick and has a pair of deep-sleeping eye sockets unique to Lingnan people.

One is about thirties, but he is very majestic.

The man in his forties was Li Tongkuan, the head of Xinglinchun. He sounded very ordinary, but when it comes to his teacher, he was very famous.

He was the closed disciple of Hong Xiguan. At this time, there was no Fang Shiyu, only Li Tongkuan.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The other one is Li Shaomin, who is the head of Wu Yichun!

Li Shaomin is the second disciple of the second monk Hong of the Fujian Tiandihui Association just founded!

In the eyes of the world, the two of them were originally rivals, but how did they talk together? It seems that they are still very close?

Li Tongkuan said, "Who is that person? He caused such a big disaster for you?"

Li Shaomin said: "This person is young and has good martial arts skills, but his kung fu is very different from ours. We have tricks and routines. This person's kung fu is extremely simple, but he pays great attention to pace, dodges, and attacks are very effective."

"This person happened to save my disciple. You know that except for your museum that is right against us, the one who is really right is Qiankunhui, and Qiankunhui has already defected to the government"

"The Qiankun Society was caught by that person when he intercepted my disciple and happened to be rescued. He claimed that he was from Jiayingzhou and spoke in an unskilled Cantonese dialect. He said that he was originally from the sea and was unable to escape to Foshan in Shanghai. I saw that he was very skilled in martial arts and took him in"

"He didn't let him do anything big. If he wanted to enter my door, he would have to go through layers of tests. I didn't expect that something like this happened not long after!"

Li Tongkuan nodded, "So, this person is still a big shot in the eyes of the government. He doesn't look like this young, is he a member of the White Lotus Sect?"

Li Shaomin shook his head, "It's not like this person has no gang marks on him. He must not belong to our Hongmen, but he is not from the White Lotus Sect. The government sealed our medicine shop and posted the words "Tongbian". It seems that this person is mostly a pirate"

"Anyway, he is not from the government. Brother Li, please rest assured, let alone he doesn't know our relationship and will not find someone here."

"Tu tuk..."

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside. Li Shaomin was about to dodge, but Li Tongkuan said, "It's okay, it's your own person."

Then he asked, "What's the matter?"

The person outside the door said: "Master, a batch of rare medicinal materials were transported from Guangxi. The people from the medicine shop asked us to escort them"

It turns out that Xinglinchun is actually the third largest industry behind medicinal materials in Foshan after iron smelting, and ceramics.

Li Tongkuan was about to speak, but Li Shaomin said, "Brother Li, I have been here for many days, and I am so bored, so why not let me go out for a walk too"

Li Tongkuan quickly shook his head, and Li Shaomin smiled and said, "The people who host Wuyichun every day are my disciples. Ordinary people have never seen me, so it's okay. Besides, the master has a trust, so I also need to go out to explore the reality and reality. What's the matter here all day long?"

Li Tongkuan thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then you can follow them. Remember, don't let them come forward, just deal with it."

So, Li Shaomin disguised himself as Xing Linchun's man and went out with Li Tongkuan's disciples. Not long after, they arrived at a dock on the Dongping Waterway and saw a medium-sized sand boat parked there.

After seeing Xinglinchun's people, the pharmacy staff who had been waiting on the dock for a long time began to unload the goods. The ship was from Wuzhou, Guangxi, and was at the price of unloading the goods. After receiving the instructions from the pharmacy, some men wearing short jackets and rolled up their legs carried large bags.

These men are all dark-skinned and short-skinny, but they look quite strong, and it seems effortless to carry a huge medicine bag.

The place where the ships are parked is a temporary yard. After passing through the long pier, these men unloaded the medicine bags and did not step onto the dock.

It turns out that they are shangmen in the upper reaches of the Pearl River. The shangmen cannot support their families by fishing alone. In their spare time, they have to beg the boat owner to find something to do. The price is very low, and they can pass ten copper plates each time. Although they cannot carry them to the designated place by the customer, it is still much cheaper than completely unloading the goods by the customer.

These gangsters are excellent sailors. In addition to unloading goods, they can also drive sails and paddles. Especially the latter. Although they come from Wuzhou, the wind direction is unpredictable, and there are sharp bends and dangerous shoals from time to time. It is best to lower the sails and use paddles when you encounter these places.

Otherwise, if a ship capsizes and dies, it will be a big loss.

Li Shaomin watched these gangsters unloading goods for a while, and was a little excited when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"The head of the family"

Li Shaomin happened to be standing at the end of the pier, and when a chanhu Lifu put down the medicine bag, he said softly.

Li Shaomin's body was shocked.

"Zhou Jixun!"

I saw that he had applied his face darkly with something and did not roll up his trousers. It seemed that he did not want others to see his fair calves.

If he was the owner of an ordinary martial arts hall, he would definitely ignore him when he saw the person who caused trouble for him. What's more, after all the ships arrived on the shore, people from the Foshan Inspection Department were present to inspect, and it would be impossible for the gang to board the dock.

However, Li Shaomin was obviously not such a person. Seeing this, he whispered: "Download slowly, it's going to get dark. As soon as the inspectors leave, you will sneak up to the shore."

Zhou Jixun obviously has some skills. He seems to be able to control the ship owners, which makes their unloading much slower than usual. It will soon get dark, but there is still a small amount of cargo that has not been unloaded yet.

It seems that this ship can only stay overnight here, which is what the people in the inspection department are willing to see. According to the rules, all ships that spend overnight here must pay the mooring fee. The owner is also very good at doing things. He disembarked in advance and paid the fee.

The inspectors were also very surprised, "What's wrong with these people today? They could have been unloaded before dark, but they had to drag it until night. Don't worry, let him leave the dock after unloading, and then the cost can be put into his pocket."

Then he said to the ship owner: "Don't stop at this pier after unloading"

The ship owner immediately understood, "I understand, understand"

There is only one inspection department in Foshan, but there are countless wharfs, which is not difficult for ship owners.

Zhou Jixun quickly told Li Shaomin the news.

After nightfall, the medicine bag was finally unloaded, and the ship also left the dock, but it soon stopped at the next dock.
