"Ding! Congratulations on completing the quest to protect the burning Poh Chi Lam. Quest completion rate: 80%. The system rewards you with 2400 Cultivation Points! "
After half a night of putting out the fire, the fire in Poh Chi Lam was finally extinguished by everyone. Because Ye Xuan had discovered the fire early on, he had stopped the thieves from continuing to fire the fire arrows. This allowed the Poh Chi Lam to only burn the main gate and a small part of the front yard. This was a great fortune amidst the misfortune.
Even so, no one was happy in the slightest. Their faces were black from the smoke as they sat on the steps in front of the courtyard. Their eyes were lifeless as they sat there in a daze.
The sky gradually brightened, and before they knew it, they had been sitting on the steps for half the night.
Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps could be heard from the front door. Following that, a group of soldiers carrying knives walked in from outside.
"The Commander has arrived!"
Only then did everyone regain their senses. They watched as Commander Zheng covered his nose with his hand as he carefully looked at the burnt remains on the ground. Behind him was a soldier holding a yellow umbrella.
Everyone followed Huang Fei-hung into the courtyard. The Commander looked up and down at the burnt Poh Chi Lam. A cold smile flashed across his face as he said to Huang Fei-hung in a strange tone, "Master Huang, you people open a dojo. Normally, you secretly set up incense halls. You have your own factions and territories. Now that your enemies have come to your door and burned Poh Chi Lam, you have only yourself to blame. You should repent!"
Hearing the Commander's words, everyone knew that he was here to pick a fight. Immediately, they all glared at him.
Huang Fei-hung raised his eyebrows and placed his hands behind his back. He looked at the Commander fearlessly and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Commander, opening a dojo is not the same as setting up incense halls. If the government really thinks that practicing martial arts is against the law, then the martial arts passed down by our ancestors will be lost. If the bandits come to attack us, then what will we use to resist? Is this considered taking a step back? "
"You can't even protect Poh Chi Lam now, and you still want to talk to me about military affairs?" The Admiral sneered at Huang Fei-hung and said disdainfully.
"It's the yamen's responsibility to investigate the arson!" Huang Fei-hung refused to back down.
"Then tell me, who set the fire?" The admiral raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know." Huang Fei-hung was expressionless.
"What do you mean you don't know? You are simply concealing the truth! "The inspector took the opportunity to act up, slandering him.
"Ah! At the side, the hot-tempered Wang Shirong heard the admiral's slander and immediately couldn't take it anymore. With a roar, he viciously kicked a water jar at the side, breaking it into pieces.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The admiral and the bailiffs were shocked. All the bailiffs pulled out their knives and looked at Wang Shirong warily.
"Shirong, what are you trying to do? Go in! "Huang Fei-hung looked at Wang Shirong and shouted.
"Master …" Wang Shirong lowered his head.
At this moment, an old priest came to the door and shouted to the people inside, "Can I go in?"
Huang Fei-hung and Ye Xuan recognized this priest as the one they saw outside last night. They looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he was here.
"Red-headed ghost, what are you doing here?" When Wang Shirong saw the priest, he ran to the door and asked angrily.
"Shirong!" Huang Fei-hung said angrily.
"Master!" Wang Shirong felt wronged.
"If you continue to be like this, don't call me master!" Huang Fei-hung was a little disappointed with Wang Shirong. This disciple of his was too impulsive.
"Senior Brother, don't go!" Seeing that Huang Fei-hung was really angry, Ya Casu quickly pulled Wang Shirong and persuaded.
When the admiral saw Wang Shirong and Huang Fei-hung's actions, he thought that Huang Fei-hung had a grudge with the priest. He wanted to find an excuse to punish Huang Fei-hung, so he went up to the old priest and smiled. "You must be unhappy with Huang Fei-hung. If you have any complaints, feel free to speak."
The old priest walked in and didn't look at the admiral. Instead, he looked at Huang Fei-hung and said, "Huang Fei-hung, I know who burned your Poh Chi Lam. I can be your witness!"
When the admiral heard the old priest's words, he was stunned and said, "You really know who burned Poh Chi Lam? You really want to be a witness for Poh Chi Lam? "
"That's right!" The old priest said firmly.
"Then tell me, who set Poh Chi Lam on fire?" With this foreign priest willing to be a witness, the admiral had no choice but to ask.
"Shahe Gang!"
… …
"Check if there are people from Shahe Gang!"
"Yes!"
"Are you from Shahe Gang?"
"No, no, sir!"
"You don't look like it. Let's go!"
Suddenly, a group of constables with torches rushed into the market and searched. With the old priest's testimony, the admiral could only stop his action of punishing Huang Fei-hung and order his men to arrest the people from Shahe Gang.
At the corner of the street, a group of people hid in a corner and looked at the constables who were searching. One of them said, "So many people? Big brother, the soldiers will find you sooner or later. "
"F * ck their ancestors, it must be that Jesus ghost who told us," Hong Lie cursed as he looked at the constables coming and going from the corner of the street.
"Big brother, should we go back to Shahe Gang to hide for a while?" One of the men suggested to Hong Lie.
"No need!" Hong Lie suddenly grinned and said, "The people are afraid of the government, and the government is afraid of the devil. Let's go find the most powerful devil. Let's go!"
Hong Lie waved his hand and sneaked away with a few of his men. They carefully avoided the constables in the streets and alleys while walking toward the restricted area set up by the Americans in Foshan.
The people from Shahe Gang walked for almost an hour and finally arrived at the restricted area set up by the Americans.
The restricted area was like a small fortress. The American flag was flying on top of it, and a group of soldiers with guns were patrolling on it.
"We want to see Mr. Jishan!" Hong Lie stood outside the restricted area and shouted at the American soldiers on top of the fortress.
"What are the people down there doing?" the American soldiers shouted in English when they saw the people from Shahe Gang with guns in their hands.
Hong Lie was stunned when he heard the reply from above in English.
"F * ck their ancestors, I don't know how to speak English."
In a panic, Hong Lie came up with another idea. He asked all the people from Shahe Gang to kneel down and shouted at the soldiers, "Please, let us go in and see Mr. Jishan! Please, let us go in and see Mr. Jishan … "
All the American soldiers leaned against the railing with their guns in their hands, smiling as they looked at the people from Shahe Gang who were kneeling on the ground and worshipping them.
Although Hong Lie's actions were despicable, they were still brought to Jishan in the end.
"I can keep a dog to guard the door for me. You guys are wanted by the government. What's in it for me to help you?" Ji Shan said disdainfully to Hong Lie, who was standing in front of him, as he sat on a chair and casually smoked a cigar in one hand.
"I'm not afraid of being arrested by the government. It's just that my brothers don't have a leader, and I don't know what to do. It's such a waste of talent. You came all the way to Foshan just for money. Since you're looking for so many pigs to open a mine, why don't I send a girl to you? Isn't that better? " Hong Lie stepped on the bag of rice next to him and put on an expression of "I'm not afraid of anything" as he spoke in a threatening manner.
Jishan was furious when he heard Hong Lie's words. He picked up the walking stick next to him and hit Hong Lie's foot that was stepping on the rice bag. Hong Lie was so scared that he quickly put his foot back and said, "No, our government has a rule that pigs can't have wives."
"They can't have offspring. They can't take root in the 'gold mountain'!" Jishan hit Hong Lie with the walking stick.
"I'm not talking about wives, I'm talking about whores!" After understanding Jishan's words, Hong Lie patted his chest and gestured, "I can have as many as you want!"
Seeing that Jishan was a little tempted, Hong Lie continued, "The worst one is that Huang Fei-hung. He's always in the way. Do you have the ability to kill him for me?"
Jishan looked at Hong Lie expressionlessly. The smile on Hong Lie's face disappeared. He thought he had said something wrong until he saw Tiger, who was standing behind Jishan, touch his chin and nod. Then he looked at Jishan with a flattering smile again.
"Huang Fei-hung?" Jishan sneered.
"Yes …"
"I'll ask him to watch a play tomorrow," Jishan suddenly said.
"Yes!" Hong Lie smiled like a pug.
