Master Hou said, "I'm just an ordinary person, so I will die too. Mr. Xiao, I have a favor to ask of you. "
Xiao Bing said, "Yes, Master Hou."
"After I die, I hope you can lead my men to fight against Lord Long. Lord Long is not as simple as he seems. I thought that I could not defeat him by force, but I could win by strategy. But I didn't expect that he was also a schemer."
Xiao Bing said, "Since I can't do it with strategy, I will crush him with force."
Master Hou smiled and said, "It seems that you have more tricks up your sleeve. But I don't care about that. Anyway, I will make all my men listen to your orders. From now on, you are the master of this mansion. Don't worry, although my men are unruly, they won't go against my last words. You don't have to worry that they won't trust me. With Tingchuan around, they won't doubt the authenticity of my last words. "
Xiao Bing said, "In that case, I am willing to lead your men to kill Lord Long."
"Yes, you must help me kill him. Tang Xueyan was killed by him. If I can avenge her, I will die in peace."
Master Hou looked at Mu Tingchuan and said, "Tingchuan, from now on, you will assist Xiao Bing and help him manage my men. These people in my hands have always been arrogant and unruly. Apart from me, only you can control them. "
Mu Tingchuan sighed and said, "I have been with Master Hou since I was young. Now that you are gone, I am too tired. But I promise you that I will fulfill your wish. I will follow Mr. Xiao until Lord Long is killed. Now that Lord Long is dead, I want to return to my hometown and enjoy the rest of my life. "
Master Hou nodded and looked back at Miyamoto Shinji. Miyamoto Shinji said, "I have the same idea as Mr. Tingchuan."
Master Hou sighed and said, "Everyone has his own ambition. Then you will help Xiao Bing kill Lord Long. After that, you will be free. Tingchuan, promise me one thing. After I die, I want to be buried with Tang Xueyan. Although I haven't been with her for a long time, I've never been married in my life. My family is long gone, and she's the only family I have left. "
Mu Tingchuan sighed and said, "Master Hou, I promise you."
"Okay." Master Hou nodded, stood up slowly and said, "I, Jiang Zihou, have been in the business world for nearly 20 years. I was a nobody who was laughed at when I joined a gang of gangsters. Step by step, I've made it to where I am today. Although I'm going to die soon, I'm in my forties, which is not considered young in the underground world. I can't say that I'll die young either. Whether I've gained or lost, I've experienced so much.
Master Hou walked out of the hall step by step. Without looking back, he said, "I'm going to sit in the pavilion. You can talk here. Let Miyamoto accompany me."
Master Hou went out. Xiao Bing looked at Mu Tingchuan and asked, "How did you get poisoned? Was it arranged by the Long family? "
"Besides Lord Long, who else could it be? After all, we still underestimated Lord Long. According to Master Hou's cautiousness, it would be difficult for others to poison him. However, Lord Long had already predicted Master Hou's mentality. That girl was the woman Master Hou loved deeply. Master Hou always felt that he owed her, so even if he had doubts, he would rather die than guard against that girl."
Mu Tingchuan continued, "Now that Master Hou is gone, I am afraid the Long family will take action soon. Even if I can help you take over Master Hou's power, the morale of the army will be shaken. Although they are still cracking down on illegal activities, it is difficult for Lord Long to give up such a godsend opportunity. Otherwise, all his efforts will be in vain. And I heard that this round of cracking down on illegal activities will be over soon. It won't last for a few days."
Hearing Mu Tingchuan's words, Xiao Bing secretly made a plan.
Because of what happened to Master Hou, Mu Tingchuan was not in a good mood, so he didn't say much. Xiao Bing was also in a heavy mood. He had his own worries, so the two of them just chatted for a while, and then slowly became silent.
It was almost dusk. Suddenly, a servant ran in from outside and said, "Master Hou … Master Hou has passed away."
Although they were mentally prepared, Xiao Bing and Mu Tingchuan were still shocked. They suddenly stood up and rushed out of the hall, all the way to the pavilion.
Jiang Zihou passed away sitting on a chair in the pavilion. His body was lying on the table. He looked very kind when he passed away.
Mu Tingchuan's eyes were red, so were Miyamoto Shinji's. Although Xiao Bing did not feel this way, he also felt a little sad.
Miyamoto Shinji said next to him, "After Master Hou sat down, he talked with me about how we met. Then he talked about the recent weather. Then he fell asleep on the table. I looked up and found that Master Hou was no longer breathing."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Master Hou was a hero. He did not lose his reputation before he died. I'm afraid there are only a few people in the world who can die in such a cheerful way, except for Master Hou."
Mu Tingchuan said, "Master Hou thought highly of you and regarded you as a person. If he could know that you have such a high opinion of him, he would be very happy."
After that, Mu Tingchuan and Miyamoto Shinji both sighed. They all fell into silence.
Finally, Xiao Bing was the first to speak. He comforted them, "My condolences."
"Yes." Mu Tingchuan said, "Master Hou never married in his life. Now we are his family. We must make the funeral more grand. In addition, we must introduce Mr. Xiao to everyone during the funeral. Mr. Xiao, from now on, you are the master of this mansion. "
Xiao Bing was going to refuse, but on second thought, the mansion was heavily guarded. It was surrounded by high walls, and there were hidden sentries everywhere. At the same time, there were surveillance cameras inside and outside the mansion. It was because of such strict security that no one could hurt Master Hou even though he had offended so many people. In addition to Miyamoto Shinji, the mansion was also extremely well guarded.
Now he had to face more and more dangerous situations. At that time, it was very likely that he would implicate the people around him. What if Yezi and the Su family all lived here?
The more Xiao Bing thought about it, the safer and more reliable he felt. So he agreed, but still said, "But I will not be called Master Hou. You can call me by my name as usual. All the servants in the mansion can call me Mr. Xiao."
Mu Tingchuan said, "Then the mansion can be changed to Xiao Mansion."
"There's no need." Xiao Bing said, "Just let the mansion continue to exist. The plaque will not be moved."
Mu Tingchuan looked at Xiao Bing gratefully. Miyamoto Shinji also liked Xiao Bing a little more. Mu Tingchuan said, "Thank you, Xiao Bing. You can still think for Master Hou. But there is really no need for the mansion to exist. He is gone. What does it matter what the name of the mansion is? What's more, if the name here remains the same, how can you command the people under you? "
Xiao Bing frowned slightly. He had to admit that what Mu Tingchuan said made sense. From an emotional point of view, Xiao Bing naturally did not care about the name of the mansion. Xiao Bing wanted to buy people's hearts.
But if it really did not change, it would be really difficult to convince people. At that time, people would always remember that they were Master Hou's people. It was Master Hou who led these people to conquer the world. Xiao Bing was just an outsider who picked the ripe peach.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bing had no choice but to say, "In this case, let's change it to Xiao Mansion. In addition, spread the news of Master Hou's death. After all, this matter can't be hidden. Even if we want to hide it, the Long family will get the news and they will publicize it with great fanfare. In this way, it is better to announce it openly, and then hold a grand funeral, inviting all the dignitaries that can be invited. "
Mu Tingchuan said, "I will send the invitation in the name of Mr. Xiao, and all our people who have no task will also be there. I will tell them Master Hou's decision at that time."
"No, we can't wait until then." Xiao Bing said, "I will give you 24 hours. Tomorrow night, gather all the people under Master Hou at the mansion. I will tell them in person."
Mu Tingchuan did not expect Xiao Bing to be so energetic. But this way, he was relieved, so he agreed.
"Well, I will leave the rest to Mr. Tingchuan. Mr. Miyamoto, you can stay in the mansion. I still need to go back to rest at night. As for Master Hou, immediately find someone to take care of his body. Mr. Tingchuan, immediately arrange for the funeral, from the coffin to everything else. Everything must be the best. Master Hou was a hero when he was alive, and he must have a grand funeral after his death! "
Xiao Bing had almost arranged everything before he left the mansion. Miyamoto Shinji used to be with Master Hou every day, but Xiao Bing did not need Miyamoto Shinji, so Miyamoto Shinji was free now. On the way back, Xiao Bing had mixed feelings. What happened today was so sudden that Xiao Bing was not mentally prepared.
But Master Hou's bearing before his death was still unforgettable to Xiao Bing, and he was full of shock.
On the way back, Xiao Bing's cell phone rang. Xiao Bing parked his car on the side of the road and answered the phone. He only heard a very fierce and domineering voice coming from the other side of the phone. Even though it was through the phone, Xiao Bing still could not help but have the urge to crawl on the ground. Only Xiao Bing could face it calmly.
"I heard that Jiang Zihou is dead."
"Lord Long?"
"Yes, it's just the beginning!"
