A hundred flavors of life

These people who saw Hua Twelve and called him "brother" were none other than Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang and other future Liangshan heroes.

Instead of returning to Shandong, they followed Rong Guofu's building boat all the way to Yangzhou, bought a small courtyard and settled down, leaving the mark agreed with Hua Twelve on the street.

This matter should start with the attack on the Rongguo mansion ship in Huai'an.

Before Hua Twelve came to Yangzhou this time, he suspected that Lin Ruhai's illness was not simple. When he was in Huai'an, the boat was attacked by men in black. He considered the two things together and believed that those men in black were probably coming for Lin Daiyu. , I felt that this trip to Yangzhou would not be peaceful.

At that time, he made two decisions. The first was to tell Jia Lian and others that this matter was probably related to Uncle Lin. After arriving in Yangzhou, he should not talk about this matter with his uncle for the time being to avoid irritating his condition.

At that time, Jia Lian still didn't believe it and asked whether those men in black were water thieves. Hua Twelve laughed:

"Since when do all water thieves wear uniforms and wear black scarves? With this equipment, they must be assassins, not ordinary thieves!"

Jia Lian suddenly realized when he thought that Jie Shengchengang's group of people were all dressed in different colors. He also knew that the matter was not simple, so he agreed to Hua Twelve's arrangement.

On the other side, Hua Twelve went to Chao Gai's boat again and asked them to sail behind the Rongguofu building boat and go to Yangzhou together.

On the one hand, Yangzhou is rich and can exchange all the jewelry of the birthday card into silver on the spot. On the other hand, if the Lin family in Yangzhou is in danger, Hua Twelve will need manpower to do things.

Of course, this so-called doing things is not something that is fair and aboveboard. Lu Da and Yang Zhi like that are enough.

When Hua Twelve asked Chao Gai and the others to follow him, he wanted them to do the dirty work. After all, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and the three Ruan clans were all famous gangsters in the future. What would they do if they didn't do the dirty work.

Judging from today's situation, as soon as Lin Ruhai improved, some people couldn't sit still. All signs showed that the other party was determined to let Lin Ruhai die while taking office in Yangzhou.

As a result, the situation has reached a very dangerous moment.

Regardless of the original plot, Jia Lian was able to bring Lin Daiyu back to Beijing safely because Lin Ruhai was dead.

But now that Lin Ruhai is not dead and there is still hope of recovery, the entire Lin Mansion is in danger.

So Hua Twelve simply decided to strike first and kill all the Jiangnan salt merchants who were hostile to Lin Ruhai who caused a big stir in Yangzhou. Maybe he could get some benefits out of the fire.

When they heard that Hua Twelve was going to go on a killing spree and make big deals, Chao Gai and others' natural gangster genes were instantly activated.

Liu Tang even thought of Wu Yong's previous analysis that Hua Twelve had the intention to achieve great things, and suddenly said with some excitement:

"Brother, please speak up. Do you want to bring Yangzhou down? Let's just fight against him."

Wu Yong covered Liu Tang's mouth and pulled him back: "Brother Liu Tang has a good idea. Stop talking about it. If people listen to this, we won't be able to leave Yangzhou!"

Hua Twelve looked at Liu Tang as if he were a fool. He really wanted to kick him. What nonsense is this? He immediately scolded Liu Tang angrily:

"Do you really think that the more than 38,000 imperial troops stationed outside the city are all dead? There are only a dozen of us who really want to capture Yangzhou City? And you directly rebel? Why don't you just become an immortal!"

Liu Tang also knew that he had made a mistake, and even after being scolded a few times, he did not dare to say a word.

Hua Twelve greeted everyone into the main room, and then said to the waiting gangsters:

"The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou are all rich and unkind, and they are all unkind people. We will attack these eight merchants tonight."

Chao Gai and others saw the prosperity of Yangzhou in the past two days, which was eye-opening. They also heard about the names of the eight major salt merchants in teahouses and restaurants, and heard that there were hundreds of dishes for a meal. What other duck tongues, donkeys, etc. were also served at the banquet? There are hundreds of ducks and a dozen donkeys in one dish.

Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi and others who had lived a hard life were envious, jealous and hateful of these people. When they heard that Hua Twelve was going to take action against these people, they couldn't wait to do it. Even Chao Gai was tempted. Incessantly.

Hua Twelve discussed the action plan with everyone in detail, agreed on a time for the action, then returned to Yanzheng Yamen, called Yang Zhi and Lu Da, and said that Uncle Lin had something to do for him and wanted to go out in the evening, but he was worried The safety of the house is in danger, so let the two brothers have more snacks.

Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi had both heard about the causes and consequences of Lin Ruhai's poisoning from Hua Twelve before, and they also knew that the Lin Mansion was surrounded by dangers. After hearing this, they solemnly stated that the safety of the mansion would be left to them.

After explaining to the two of them, Hua Twelve went to Jia Lian again, trying to tell him not to go out at night, but he was told by the servants from Rongguo Mansion that Jia Lian had gone to drink wine at the invitation of the young master of the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

Hua Twelve didn't expect this guy to be so restless, so he immediately stopped caring about him. He thought that this guy wouldn't be in any danger if he came to drink flower wine. If he was harmed by someone, it would be a good thing for him.

After turning around and returning to his own yard, Hua Twelve and Zhang Zhenniang had nothing to hide and told him about his plans for the evening. The latter kept his worries in his heart and only told him to be careful.

After everything was arranged, Hua Twelve went to see Lin Ruhai and his daughter again.

Although Lin Daiyu has learned kung fu, her courage is still a bit lacking. Today she saw the scene of corpse powder melting a corpse, which made her sick for a long time. She still hasn't recovered yet. She didn't eat dinner. When she saw Hua Twelve coming over, she was angry. He groaned and rolled his eyes.

Lin Ruhai looked at the two of them and smiled, then asked Hua Twelve, "Are you all ready?"

Hua Twelve nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, there will be no more storms after tonight!"

Lin Ruhai nodded; "As long as you have confidence, if nothing can be done, take Yu'er and the others away first!"

Hua Twelve laughed: "Uncle, just don't worry about what I'm doing!"

The night was dark, and it seemed that even the sky felt the murderous intent contained in the night in Yangzhou City tonight, and it started to rain heavily.

Hu Niannian, one of the eight major salt merchants, had not rested yet. He was sitting in his flower hall, looking at the storm outside, and asked behind him:

"Is it time to take action?"

A person behind him was hiding in the shadows. Hearing this, he walked out of the shadows and replied: "Sir, let's do it at midnight. This should be the time!"

Just as they were talking, on the street outside the verification office, hundreds of people in Tsing Yi holding steel knives walked out into the rain. One of the leaders looked to the left and right and shouted loudly:

"Eradicate the roots and leave no one behind!"

At the same time, outside the Hu family's mansion, Hua Twelve held an oil-paper umbrella and waved to Chao Gai and others who were pouring out like drowned chickens behind him:

"Go, keep the women and children, kill everyone else!"

At this time, Chao Gai and others all put on black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves. After hearing this, they nodded and climbed over the wall behind Hu's house.

Hua Twelve himself put on a scarf, stepped on his toes, and soared into the air. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he flew over the wall of the Hu family courtyard in the heavy rain, and landed lightly on the eaves of a three-story attic, condescendingly , watching Chao Gai and others killing each other below.

A scream suddenly rose in the rainy night, and was instantly drowned in the sound of heavy rain.

Hua Twelve couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a good weather for killing people and destroying families!"

Rumble!

A thunder exploded across the sky, and the thunder shook the roof tiles.

Hua Twelve hurriedly slipped down from the roof. Damn, you just pretended to be cool and forgot all your scientific knowledge. You almost became a lightning rod.

He landed on the ground and leisurely followed Chao Gai and others who were killing him all the way inside. He came here just to suppress the battle. He was afraid that there were some masters in these salt merchants' houses that Chao Gai and others could not deal with. He was so good Take action to solve it.

But what surprised Hua Twelve was that even after they almost visited the Hu family's back house, they didn't see many good caregivers.

After fighting all the way to the main room, I finally saw a wealthy middle-aged man, armed with dozens of swordsmen in green clothes, rushing over from the front. When he saw the dead bodies on the ground, the middle-aged man's eyes were about to split, and he cried out in pain. : "my son"

Hua Twelve heard Lin Ruhai's description of the eight major salt merchants and recognized that this was Hu Nianniannian, the leader of the eight major salt merchants. He glanced left and right at the dozens of men lying in a pool of blood, and asked with a smile: "You It’s Hu Nian Nian, which one is your son? I’ll bury you both together!”

Hu Yian bit his teeth so hard that they bled. He waved his hand and shouted: "Go ahead, kill them all. I will reward you with a thousand guan for killing each person!"

Those swordsmen in green clothes, who heard that they would kill a person with a thousand swords, their eyes became fiery and they swarmed towards them.

Hua Twelve waved his hand casually: "Kill them, and the Hu family's property will be ours. If we don't do it, what are we waiting for!"

Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and Ruan Shixiong rushed forward with their men.

The two sides collided, fighting at close quarters, with deadly moves.

Although those Tsing Yi swordsmen have also practiced fists, feet and swords, how can they be the opponents of Chao Gai, Liu Tang and other gangsters?

Chao Gai and others used the few against the many without any fear. After a few encounters, they cut down half of the man in Tsing Yi. No one on his side was injured.

Hu Yiyi shouted behind him: "Qing Yi, come on!"

Behind him, the man who had been hiding in the shadows stood up. He was also dressed in green, with a thin face and a cold expression. The heavy rain fell on him, but his clothes were not wet at all, and only formed a thin layer of water on the surface of his body. The fog obviously releases its own true energy and blocks the heavy rain outside the body. This is an innate master.

After Qing Yi came out, Chao Hua Twelve and others showed a cruel smile:

"Give you a chance to tell your origins and the person behind it, and then commit suicide. I will save you from killing your whole body!"

Hua Twelve looked at the heavy rain that was blocked by the true energy on his body, and then looked at his own oil-paper umbrella, thinking that he had made a mistake, the other party had tricked him.

He immediately threw the oil-paper umbrella forward. When the oil-paper umbrella fell in front of him, blocking each other's sight, he waved his hands continuously, sending out dozens of invisible swords in an instant.

The oil-paper umbrella broke into dozens of pieces and scattered in the rain. Behind the umbrella, Hu Yianyi and the man in Tsing Yi, who were more than ten steps away, all stood frozen in place.

The next moment, Hu Yiannian turned into dozens of pieces and scattered on the ground like collapsed building blocks.

The man in green was bleeding from all his orifices, and the corners of his eyes, eyebrows, forehead, and chin also began to bleed, but he still tried hard to say:

"Young people don't respect martial arts, they steal and attack"

Hua Twelve was speechless: "If you kill someone, kill someone. What nonsense are you talking about? Die quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in green's eyes dimmed, his true energy collapsed, and blood mist erupted from his body. Like Hu Nian Nian, he broke into dozens of pieces and scattered on the muddy ground.

As soon as these two people died, the military morale of the green-clad swordsmen suddenly disappeared, and they had no reason to fight. They wanted to escape, but Chao Gai and others took the opportunity and chopped them all to the ground.

Hua Twelve ordered Chao Gai and others: "Check carefully, no men are left alive, all women and children are knocked unconscious, and then we go to the next house!"

Liu Tang asked in confusion: "Brother, what about this family's gold and silver treasures?"

Hua Twelve chuckled: "Why are you so anxious? None of the eight major salt merchants is rich enough to rival the country. There is a mountain of gold and silver in this house. We, the few of us, will let you go and move. How much can you move this night? Don't worry. , if it belongs to us, it can’t run away!”

After Chao Gai received Wu Yong's explanation, he somewhat understood Hua Twelve's plan, and immediately said to Liu Tang: "You only need to kill people, and for the rest, just listen to my brother!"

They have taken care of the Hu family here, and the battle at Yanzheng Yamen has also ended.

Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen were now covered in blood, the blood of their enemies. Around them lay the bodies of dozens of men in black.

Zhang Zhenniang held a sword in her hand, Lin Daiyu held the Yang family's treasured sword, and the three girls Jin'er, Xueyan, and Zijuan also held weapons and guarded Lin Ruhai.

A dozen corpses also fell in front of the girls. It was obvious that the battle just now was extremely fierce, and the girls were forced to take action.

Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen said to Lin Ruhai:

"Master Lin, all the assassins have been killed. It's rainy and cold. You can go back and rest in peace. Our brothers will be guarding you outside."

"well!"

Lin Ruhai still looked weak, but his eyes were particularly bright at this time, and he thanked:

"Thanks to you two for protecting me tonight!"

Both of them said that it was their duty to be brothers and sisters with Lin Chong.

Hua Twelve took care of the Hu family here. According to the pre-agreed route, he went straight to the Zeng family at the end of the street. He still followed the same pattern, broke in and killed them.

For some unknown reason, the Zeng family's power to protect the courtyard was actually higher than that of the Hu family, the leader of the eight major salt merchants, but there was no master of the same level as the previous one named 'Qing Yi'.

Although they have some strength, these nursing homes cannot be compared with Chao Gai and others. Together with Hua Twelve's helpers, the battle was resolved in less than two quarters of an hour, leaving behind a family of orphans and widows who were knocked unconscious. Then go to the next one.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, rich people always live together, so the houses of the eight major salt merchants are not very far apart. Some are separated by a street, and some live in the streets and alleys. This makes things easier for Hua Twelve and others.

They slaughtered seven families in one go. When they arrived at the eighth family, Guo Hongzhang's house, they went to the backyard. Everyone was killing them. Ruan Xiaoqi grabbed a disheveled man and was about to stab the man in the chest with a sharp knife.

Hua Twelve happened to see the disheveled man's face, and immediately dodged over and grabbed Ruan Xiaoqi's knife-holding hand:

“Don’t kill this yet, we’ll talk about it later!”

Ruan Xiaoqi was slightly stunned, then nodded, and went to kill others. The disheveled man survived the disaster and was still in shock. He glanced at Hua Twelve and was begging for mercy, but at this glance, he exclaimed in shock:

"Brother Lin Chong? Why is it you!"

Hua Twelve sighed: "Brother Lian, how did you recognize me wearing a face towel?"

That person was Jia Lian, and he was a little confused at this time, unable to realize what was happening in front of him.

At this time, a man not far away was chopped down by one of Chao Gai's brothers, but he did not die. He shouted to Jia Lian: "Brother Jia, save me quickly."

Jia Lian subconsciously said to Hua Twelve: "Brother Lin Chong, that's the Zhen family in Jiangnan."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Twelve waved his hand and the invisible sword cut off the man's head.

Jia Lian was stunned and trembling all over. He couldn't say a word. When he looked at Hua Twelve, his eyes were full of fear. Only then did he realize that his Lin Chong brothers and these murderous strongmen seemed to be in the same group. .

Hua Twelve said to Jia Lian calmly: "Second brother Lian, do you know how many lives your voice has caused?"

After speaking, he sighed again and ordered around: "Kill them all, no one can be left alive!"

Thanks to: 08a, Little Tiger from the Demon World, and Brother Lingnuo for their rewards. Thanks to the brothers who voted for me monthly and recommended. Thank you very much.
