Longevity in martial arts begins with the fusion of martial arts

Chapter 12 Conflict

"Many neighbors must know this person, Shopkeeper Hu from Wanshan Study."

"Under the banner of our hall, we manage our hall's property, but secretly engage in business that is hidden from the hall! Embezzling the hall's interests! Making overt and covert accounts to hide the money from the elements!"

"Mr. Jia is heartbroken! There is such a useless person under his command. I'm sorry for the brothers in the gang, and I'm sorry for the neighbors!"

The scarred man made a fist with his right hand and hammered his chest.

He walked up to Hu Wanshan with a sad face, and the boy next to him handed over a sharp dagger.

Hu Wanshan was pressed to the ground by two minions, like fish on a chopping board, his face was ashen.

"Since this bitch eats everything inside and outside, his conscience has been fed to the dog!"

"So today! I, Mr. Jia, will be in front of all the neighbors to explain the punishments and help with the rules and regulations!"

As he said that, the boy on the side brought up a big yellow dog that was crying.

Many of the onlookers in the alley showed unbearable expressions.

However, Zhongyi Tang is just trying to scare the monkeys!

Let people in several streets know the consequences of going beyond the gang and making money secretly.

Lu Yuan just passed through the crowd and saw this scene.

He instantly realized what had happened, turned around and left without saying a word.

He did not have a deep friendship with Hu Wanshan.

Although he had formed a good relationship with him before, it was not deep enough to wade through the muddy waters of Zhongyi Hall for Hu Wanshan. To say the least, he didn't have the ability.

Therefore, he went directly without any delay.

I won't have to pay back these few taels of silver today.

He sighed secretly.

It's not that I won't pay back the money, but it's really the shopkeeper Hu who can't bear it.

Wait a few days to find out where the grave is and burn it for him.

At this moment, Hu Wanshan, who was pressed to the ground, saw Lu Yuan.

He struggled with excitement!

He muttered something vaguely.

The boy holding his shoulder next to him immediately slapped him in the face.

"be honest!"

Hu Wanshan, however, refused to give in. He cocked his neck and nodded wildly in Lu Yuan's direction.

"WTF?"

The boy on the side took off the rag from Hu Wanshan's mouth and put it to his ear.

He leaned over and listened for a while, then walked in front of the scarred man with a look of disdain on his face.

"Brother Dao! This old fox said that the boy below still owed him money and asked if he could pay for it with his son's life."

As he spoke, he pointed at Lu Yuan's area.

Brother Dao looked over and saw a tall young man squeezed in the crowd, turning around to leave.

The clothes don't look like a wealthy family.

He calmly said to his younger brother: "Go and ask why you owe it and how much you owe."

The younger brother said a few more words to Hu Wanshan and came back to report: "Brother Dao! I've asked clearly!"

"Before, the old fox crossed our hall and painted pictures for a few members of staff in private, and he did it in partnership with this boy!"

Then he leaned into Brother Dao's ear and whispered in his ear: "The old fox said that he owed as much or as little as he owed, and he could be allowed to spend the rest of his life painting in the hall and pay it back slowly. He was originally a coolie from the Cao Gang, a red guy with no background. "

As he spoke, he held out two fingers: "If a painting can be sold for this amount, it is a cash cow with skill."

Brother Dao nodded.

Looking back, I saw Hu Wanshan's hopeful eyes and smiled lightly.

"Go and tell him that his wife can be released, but his son cannot."

"Unless we can collect a thousand taels of silver from the corruption gang, the gang will let the three of them live."

"Otherwise, if he dies, his son will die with him. Our Zhongyi Hall does not want to see the drama of a young man with a blood feud coming back for revenge many years later."

Brother Dao said, no longer looking at Hu Wanshan, whose eyes were gradually dimming, and walked quickly towards Lu Yuan.

……

Lu Yuan was pushing away the crowd, staying away from this place of right and wrong.

Suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind.

"Little brother, please stay."

The crowd around him seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force field, leaving a large open space around him.

Lu Yuan saw the scarred man who made the noise walking towards him step by step, and thought there was trouble in his heart.

He first clasped his fists and said, "This is your invitation." Brother Dao also clasped his fists in return: "Zhongyi Hall, Jia Sandao"

Lu Yuan was alert: "Master Jia asked me to stay here, what do you do?"

He has nothing to do with Zhongyi Hall. From the looks of it, he is probably going to cause trouble over nothing.

"He's just the deputy hall master." Jia Sandao narrowed his eyes, "Is this little brother here to see Hu Wanshan?"

"No, just come closer to see the excitement." Lu Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a few people surrounding him.

"Oh? Really? But as far as I know, the little brother clearly owes our Zhongyi Hall a lot of silver, and he thought he was here to repay the debt." Jia Sandao's meaning was unclear.

"Hall Master Jia is joking, why have I ever borrowed silver from your Zhongyi Hall?"

"Our Zhongyi Hall is the most upright person in the world, and we never say what we say. My little brother owes Hu Wanshan a silver tael, doesn't he owe us a Zhongyi Hall a silver tael?"

When Lu Yuan heard about this, it seemed that there was a reason for it, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.

He immediately took out his money bag and threw the seven taels of silver in it.

"I borrowed five taels from him three months ago, with interest, totaling seven taels. Hall Master Jia, please order."

After saying that, he left, for fear of causing further trouble.

But it really wasn't that simple. Jia Sandao didn't even look at the money bag and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Little brother, you have more than these seven taels of silver!"

"According to Hu Wanshan's confession, he colluded with his younger brother and embezzled hundreds of taels of money from my Zhongyi Hall's business. Do you really think that my Zhongyi Hall is deaf and blind!"

Jia Sandao spoke righteously and clearly, as if he was determined to convince Lu Yuan.

"What advice can Deputy Hall Master Jia have?" Lu Yuanqing knew that the other party was looking for trouble and couldn't reason with him.

He secretly channeled his energy and blood, and the truth may be revealed in his fists.

When Jia Sandao heard that he changed his name to deputy hall master, he felt secretly resentful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Simple, little brother is not from our hall, and the gang rules cannot bind you. But paying back debts is a natural thing, right?"

Lu Yuan didn't answer and looked at him quietly.

Jia Sandao paused, seeming to be thinking about how to appear benevolent and righteous.

"Let's see. I heard that my little brother is very good at painting. Why don't you join our Zhongyi Hall, raise funds for painting, and gradually pay off the debt? What do you think?"

Ha ha.

They were kept in captivity and painted to pay off debts, right?

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart.

"Deputy Hall Master Jia is joking. Hu Wanshan and I are innocent. How can I listen to him trying to bite me out of thin air? Deputy Hall Master, please don't fall into the tricks of cunning people."

Jia Sandao smiled.

The boy next to him is a good looker.

"Don't be so shameless, you red dog. You and that slut are planning to seize our property. Brother Dao's loyalty is what makes you, a red man, pay off your debt. If you don't want to pay back the money, you can just leave two arms!"

This little brother immediately jumped out and gave orders with a ferocious face.

Jia Sandao turned his face and said lightly: "Don't be so rude."

Good words and persuasion are just superficial efforts, and they are just afraid of attracting public criticism.

Now that the necessary procedures have been carried out, everyone knows that this person made a mistake first, so Zhongyi Hall should naturally be polite before fighting.

The boy responded, but he kept saying: "Young man who looks like a dog, you just want to compete with wild dogs for food, but you have reached out to our Zhongyi Hall and blinded your dog's eyes!"

"Either keep them to pay off the debt, or these two arms will be left for Rhubarb to eat!"

The big yellow dog at the door of the store seemed to understand and barked twice, making the little brother even more proud.

As he spoke, he looked threatening and approached Lu Yuan step by step.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't react, he seemed to be frightened.

He reached out his hand unscrupulously and wanted to grab Lu Yuan's collar.

But suddenly his eyes flashed.

My hands were empty.

A copper-colored palm pinched his neck and was lifted up like a chicken.

It was Lu Yuan who took decisive action and restrained this little brother with one move!

The incident happened so suddenly that Jia Sandao did not react for a moment.

This is not finished.

Lu Yuan raised his knee and hit his little brother hard, flying backwards and hitting the big yellow dog, causing them both to faint.

Then Shi Shiran turned around and looked at Jia Sandao with a smile: "I'm sorry, Hall Master Jia, I was beaten by your dog."
