The Qiu family was on Mo Dao Street. They were involved in the business of selling ironware. Their family business was not small and they owned a large house.
In the main hall, the head of the Family Qiu, Qiu Yiguan, looked at Qiu Huan's body being carried back. His face was extremely ugly. "Who killed Third Brother?"
"It's the devil from Daping Street." Someone said in fear.
Qiu Yiguan's eyes were filled with fear and despair. "Third Brother was fine. Why did he go to Daping Street?"
"He was chasing a prey." The servant said in a low voice.
Qiu Yiguan's face was even gloomier. He looked at the five servants and said, "Are you all useless? How could you chase a prey to Daping Street? "
"Third Young Master said that he wanted to play with the prey and asked us to ignore it." The servant trembled.
Qiu Yiguan said with hatred, "Third Brother said that he wanted to play with you, and you just listened to him. Do you have any brains? Men, drag these five useless things away, break their legs, and throw them out of the Family Qiu's door." “
The five servants begged, "Master, please spare our lives …"
Qiu Yiguan ignored them and said to an old man, "Steward Bai, prepare some gifts for me. I'm going to see Abbot Zou." “
The elders asked in disbelief, "Patriarch, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing? He's my third brother. I can't let this matter go. Even if the chance is slim, and even if I have to pay a high price, I will avenge him." Qiu Yiguan said resolutely.
"Master, please think twice. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. The devil from Daping Street is not to be trifled with. The Qingping Gang and Giant Saddle are no match for him. Let's think about whether we should go and apologize to him." All the important people said.
Qiu Yiguan was furious and scolded, "He's my third brother. How can I not avenge him? Go and apologize to that devil. You guys can even say something like that. You guys are shameless, but I am. "
After being berated by Qiu Yiguan, the others didn't dare to say anything else.
"It's settled then. Besides, the Tiedao Temple may not help us. Why are you so worried? Qiu Yiguan's tone softened.
The others thought about it and agreed. There were five gangs that had fallen into the hands of that demon.
The Tiedao Temple's strength was about the same as the five gangs. How could they stand up for Family Qiu?
Thinking about it this way, they all felt that the Patriarch was still the smartest. By doing this, not only did he save face, but he also didn't suffer any losses.
The others no longer objected.
Qiu Yiguan personally drove the carriage away from the Family Qiu and went straight to the Tiedao Temple.
The Tiedao Temple was really a temple, but it occupied a large area. In the main hall, Qiu Yiguan saw Abbot Zou with a shiny head.
Beside him was a scholar with a face full of pockmarks. It was the pockmarked scholar, Wen Quxiu.
There was no one else in the main hall.
"Family Qiu's head, you did well," Abbot Zou said kindly.
Qiu Yiguan said with a sad expression, "The price is too high. No matter what, he's my third brother."
"Come on, Family Qiu's head. He's just a good-for-nothing who ruined your Family Qiu's reputation. Although he stood on your side when you fought for the position of the head of the family, you didn't treat him badly for so many years. Instead, he caused you a lot of trouble. This time, we can make use of him," Abbot Qiu said with a cold face.
Qiu Yiguan's sad expression froze. He said, "It's indeed a good use of him. I hope Abbot Zou will fulfill his promise."
"Of course, I promise that from now on, all the ironware business on Modao Street will be monopolized by your Family Qiu." Abbot Zou stood up and poured a glass of wine for Qiu Yiguan.
Qiu Yiguan took the glass and put it on the table. He bowed and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Wait, Family Qiu's head. No matter what, it's a happy occasion. Drink this glass of wine before you go," Abbot Zou said with a serious face.
Qiu Yiguan looked at the glass and said, "Abbot Zou, I won't drink the wine. I forgot to tell you that it was I who asked someone to call my third brother back. It was also someone else who made the bet with him. Anyway, I'm not the only one who knows about it in the Family Qiu. " “
You don't have to drink the wine. I don't want this matter to be leaked out. "Abbot Zou's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"No problem." Qiu Yiguan promised in a firm tone and then left.
After Qiu Yiguan left, Abbot Zou drank the wine in his glass and said, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have told him the whole story."
"He's too smart. If I hadn't told him the truth, he wouldn't have used his useless third brother to cooperate with us." Wen Quxiu said.
Abbot Zou put down the glass and said, "Even so, if this matter is leaked out, my Tiedao Temple will be finished."
"He won't dare to say it out. Besides, we still have the Five Tigers to protect us." Wen Quxiu said confidently.
Abbot Zou shook his head slightly and said, "Scholar, my relationship with the Five Tigers isn't as good as you think. Once the other gangs in the Southern District want to deal with us, the Five Tigers will definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb."
"Abbot Zou, there's nothing to worry about. As long as this matter is successful, even if all the gangs in the Southern District know that they've been schemed against by us, I'm afraid that the losses will not be light. At that time, with the Five Tigers, we don't have to be afraid." Wen Quxiu comforted him.
Abbot Zou patted his shiny head and said, "I'm afraid that if this matter is leaked out beforehand, Tie Dao will be finished, and you and I will die without a burial place."
"How can we not take some risks if we want to strengthen the Tiedao Temple? Besides, the Qingping Gang's territory is prosperous, and there are more profits than your Tiedao Temple's territory.
As long as we get rid of that demon on Daping Street, with the help of the Five Tigers, the nearby territories won't all belong to the Tiedao Temple.
Moreover, your Tiedao Temple is not far from Daping Street. If we don't get rid of that demon, can you guarantee that your subordinates will behave themselves? If you don't pay attention, that demon will find an opportunity to run to Mo Dao Street and destroy your Tiedao Temple. " Wen Quxiu's eyes shone with a sinister light.
Abbot Zou fell silent. "Things have already come to this, and there's no use regretting it. What should we do next? “
"We have to wait for two days and spread the news that the demon has killed Qiu Huan, so that the other gangs will feel the crisis. With such an unruly and meddlesome hero around, I'm afraid that no gang will be able to sit still.
When the time comes, we'll find those gangs to lobby, and the chances of success will be extremely high. If all the gangs in the Southern District join forces to deal with that demon, there's no reason for us to fail. Wen Quxiu was full of confidence.
Abbot Zou was thinking about the opposite when it came to the final moment, and said, "What if those gangs don't fall for it?"
"Then we'll lead the demon to the other gangs' territories, and let him meddle in other people's business again." Wen Quxiu said.
Abbot Zou took a deep breath and said, "Scholar, when it comes to the final moment, why do I feel a little uneasy? Once it's leaked, we won't be able to bear the anger of all the gangs in the Southern District, and cutting us alive would be a light punishment." “
You talk as if you really know how to chant scriptures and predict the future. If I say it's fine, then it's fine. After this, just wait to take over the territories. Basically, the Qingping Gang and the Giant Saddle's territories will all belong to you. "
