Chapter 79

The person who said "please" was indeed an old man.

He was carrying a lantern, and Chen Lisong and Li Tiezhu felt that the lanterns of Huang's house were brighter than those of ordinary people, and they could see his thin but energetic face, which seemed to be very polite to Chen Lisong.

Li Tiezhu admired Chen Lisong from the bottom of his heart. It turned out that he really went to spread the word, and he came to lead them in after getting the master's approval.

Chen Lisong and Li Tiezhu followed the old man into the courtyard gate, passed the screen door, the old man pushed open the hanging flower gate, and the three of them entered the main courtyard together.

As soon as he entered the main courtyard, Chen Lisong saw that the main hall was very bright because the lights were on. He always felt that the main hall here was taller and larger than the main halls of Huang Daming and Chen Tianfu's family.

At the entrance of the main hall, a middle-aged man was sitting in front of the hall. He should be Huang Jianda.

He rested his hands on the side of the chair, because his back was facing the lamp in the main hall, so he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Going straight from the courtyard, it will be faster to the main hall.

Just as Chen Lisong and Li Tiezhu followed the old man down the steps and into the courtyard, suddenly there were two "poofs", they were hit hard with sticks on their legs, and they all fell forward into the courtyard.

The moment he fell to the ground, Chen Lisong saw four men rushing towards him from all around. Two of them were on top of him, and the other two were on top of Li Tiezhu.

Chen Lisong, who was lifted up by two men, asked the middle-aged man Huang Jianda, "Master Huang! Who is this?"

"Raise your head." Huang Jianda asked back, "Are you Chen Xuanqing's great-great-grandson?"

Seeing him ask a question, Chen Lisong quickly replied: "Yes! I am!"

Huang Jianda gestured to the two men holding Chen Lisong, each of them held the hemp rope tied around Chen Lisong's waist with one hand, lifted Chen Lisong to the steps in front of Huang Jianda, and pressed Watching Chen Lisong let him kneel down.

"What a hero your ancestor was back then, but now you use his prestige casually to show off to me! Excuse me, even if your great-great-grandfather is powerful, what does it have to do with you now?"

"Master Huang, I really need you urgently."

According to his current status as a long-term worker who doesn't even have a piece of land, how could he meet Huang Jianda who directly crushed Huang Daming in Huangzhuang's prestige?
"You came to beg me, why don't you ask me to tell Daming to return your paddy fields to you? Is it worth you to use your great-grandfather's name to come to me for such a crap?"

"No, no, Mr. Huang, you misunderstood me. I didn't come to you for that field." Chen Lisong knew that if he said he came to Huang Jianda for that field, he was undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger!
"That field is my Huangzhuang's land. Since you said it's not a field, then tell me, why did you come to me?"

"Big smoke, someone wants to plant big smoke in Daofeng Town!"

Huang Jianda was a little surprised when he heard that someone was going to grow opium in Daofeng Town. He stood up and said, "Oh? Since it is a matter of opium, it is excusable for the time being to use the name of your ancestor to meet me. Give him Let's untie you two!"

He stretched out a hand to let the two people who were holding Chen Lisong loose the ropes tied to Chen Lisong.Li Tiezhu, who had regained his freedom, ran to Chen Lisong's side quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Lisong's hand, not daring to speak.

Chen Lisong couldn't care less about eating now, and replied, "Yes, Mr. Huang. Today we were arrested and sent to Nanshan to build a wall. It seems that a factory for making opium will be built inside the wall."

"They grow their big tobacco, and you do your long-term work. The two are interrelated. Why are you worried about him?"

"Could it be that Mr. Huang has lived a superior life [-] times better than me, Chen Lisong, so he is satisfied with the status quo and doesn't care about anything else?"

Huang Jianda was also taken aback when Chen Lisong questioned him, but immediately called out: "Da Nian, please bring him in, and serve them two cups of tea."

He stood up, brushed off the long gown, turned around with his hands behind his back and entered the main hall.

Among the four men following behind, one stepped forward and helped him move the grand master's chair in, and placed it on the right side of the main hall's main table in the main hall.

Huang Jianda settled down on the grand teacher's chair again, and asked Chen Lisong to sit down on the guest chair on his left.

Li Tiezhu followed in, stood beside Chen Lisong, and then sat down on the chair next to him.

Although Chen Lisong felt that the leg that was hit by a stick just now was still a little uncomfortable, he knew that it was not a serious problem. Presumably those people were all practitioners, they knew where to hit and where to hit, and controlled the severity of the attack early up.

In Daofeng Town, except for Li Fei who learned the northern legs from the master from the north, the local boxing techniques include Wing Chun, and the cudgel technique includes Ziwu stick, etc. They are all martial arts to stop invasions, not killing skills for decisive battles, so The stick technique of the four people just now was the Ziwu stick used to take them down.

The old man named Huang Danian had already invited a maid to serve tea for Chen Lisong and the others.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Since you came to me in the name of Zun Gaozu, who saved my great grandfather back then, I shouldn't be able to refuse any help you want from me."

"Master Huang is serious. I came here to bother you to report the name of your ancestors, because the fact that the devil wants to plant opium in Daofeng Town is too serious."

Of course, Chen Lisong knew that he was just a long-term worker of Huang Jianda's cousin Huang Daming's family. If he came to see the famous Huang Jianda in Daofeng Town in his own capacity, how could Huang Jianda meet him?
"Don't call me Master Elder Master. My great-great-grandfather and your great-great-grandfather used to be called brothers. According to seniority, although we have different surnames, we are still brothers of the same generation. You can call me brother Jianda."

More than a hundred years ago, Chen Lisong's great-grandfather, Chen Xuanqing, rescued the frail scholar Huang Zongcheng.

Chen Lisong hurriedly stood up, stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Don't dare, you are Master Huang."

"Sit down and talk."

"Yes, Master Huang." Chen Lisong returned to his seat and sat down, "I want Master Huang to come forward and ask your cousin Huang Daming, Master Huang, to stop calling people to smoke on the Nanshan and Beishan."

"Da Ming grows big tobacco? Have you started growing it?"

"Not yet, it's not the season to grow opium, so if you persuade him now, he won't lose much if he stops. If you wait until the plant grows and then eradicates it, I'm afraid they will never be happy."

Come to think of it, if these people had planted poppies, those poppies would be their lifeblood.

Huang Jianda picked up his teacup and took a sip, his expression changed again.

Chen Lisong didn't look at Huang Jianda's face, and continued: "Master Huang, but just let Master Daming stop planting, maybe another 'Bai Xiaoan' will be planted, so you still need to come forward to call Chenzhuang Chen Tianfu, Lin Jiazhai Lin Haitao, Li Chaoshan from Lijiazhai, Zheng Liang from Zhengjiazhai, and Wang Wendong from Wangjiazhai discussed countermeasures together."

"Chen Lisong, you are such an idiot, dreaming and whimsical!" Huang Jianda stood up and scolded: "You are too fucking courageous. In order to keep your ancestor's last wish, you dare to ban opium from coming to my Huang's house!"
