Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 104
Ah Cheng tied a strip of white cloth on his sleeve, and led a group of brothers towards Jin'an Hall.

"Ah Cheng, help me, I want to send Hao Xiang one last time." Ye Zijin begged.

Ah Cheng took a look at the gatekeeper, clenched his fists and said, "How dare they not let you in, it's really hard to live, Miss Ye, just follow me."

Ye Zijin followed Ah Cheng, unexpectedly, when he entered the door, he was stopped by the gatekeeper just now. The gatekeeper saw that there were many people with Ah Cheng, and worried that he was outnumbered, so he also called a few younger brothers.

"Brother Cheng, you and your brothers can go in, but this woman is not from Jin'an Hall. Young Master Feng has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter Jin'an Hall today. I can't afford to offend Young Master Feng." The gatekeeper apologized.

Ah Cheng snorted, glanced at the gatekeeper with disdain, and said: "As soon as Brother Xiang left, you boneless people fell to Feng Li. Think about how Brother Xiang treats his brothers, you wolf-hearted thing!"

A few people behind the man lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Ah Cheng, and the man guarding the door was a little weaker, saying: "Brother Cheng, brothers have no other choice, who let Boss Meng die young, we just They're little Luo Luo, it's just a matter of making a living with whoever you are...don't make things difficult for us."

Ah Cheng suddenly took out his gun and knocked on the face of the gatekeeper, saying: "You can see clearly, this is Miss Ye, Brother Xiang's fiancée, who is also a member of Jin'an Hall, if you dare to say something more, My gun only recognizes the old master but not the new master."

"Brother Cheng...Brother Cheng, please spare me...If you have something to say, speak up..." The man was so forced by Ah Cheng with a gun that he didn't even dare to blink.

Ah Cheng gestured to the brothers beside him, and said, "Take Miss Ye in."

Ye Zijin entered Jin'an Hall under the protection of a group of people. Seeing that the person had already entered, Ah Cheng slowly retracted his gun, patted the face of the gatekeeper, and said, "You wait to be thrown into the Huangpu River to feed the fish."

After Ah Cheng left, the gatekeeper squinted at Ah Cheng's back, covered his face and gritted his teeth, and said, "I see who will be thrown to feed the fish in the end, and you guys will all have to be thrown to feed the fish after Young Master Feng takes charge! "

There are many chrysanthemums placed in the mourning hall. The white chrysanthemums and yellow chrysanthemums spread out layer by layer.

Meng Haoxiang's former subordinates invited everyone else out of the mourning hall. Now that Hua Jinkun has not yet presided over the memorial ceremony at Jin'an Hall, there are not many people in the mourning hall. There is no shortage of people who follow the wind and move the rudder.

Ye Zijin caressed the coffin tremblingly, looking at Meng Haoxiang lying inside, she couldn't help crying.Yesterday at Hua Jinkun's residence, he was willing to give his life to Hua Jinkun for her. After the gunshot, she vaguely saw Meng Haoxiang fall to the ground.But she couldn't rush over, and could only let old Xu Sheng drag her out of Wantangchun.She broke free once and was caught again. After Lao Xu forced her into the car, she clearly saw a dead body carried out from the door when she was in the car.She couldn't believe that Meng Haoxiang was really dead. From last night to today, she didn't believe that Hua Jinkun would really kill Meng Haoxiang.

Lao Xu followed Hua Jinkun's instructions and let her go home. She stayed up all night and came to Jin'antang early in the morning to inquire about news. She firmly believed that Meng Haoxiang was not dead. How could he die so easily? She kept her back, but on the one hand, she was very worried that Meng Haoxiang was blindly loyal.

She didn't believe that Meng Haoxiang was really dead until now when she saw the corpse lying in the coffin.In the coffin, his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, and he was dressed neatly as always. If he was not lying in the coffin, Ye Zijin would only think that he was asleep...

"Haoxiang, why are you so stupid? Why don't you protect yourself? Even if Hua Jinkun is kind to you, you should pay off what you have done for Jin'antang. Why do you have to pay for your own life..." Ye Zijin supported The coffin choked up.

The faces of the people in the coffin were calm, and they had such peaceful expressions when they died.Ye Zijin stretched out his hand to caress Meng Haoxiang's tie, straightened it for him, and then smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt. Ye Zijin felt that there was still some residual warmth in his body, as if he was not far away from her. go.She lowered her head and looked at Meng Haoxiang's face carefully, her almond eyes filled with tears.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have promised you back then... Otherwise you wouldn't die, and Miss He wouldn't die... But I can't control my heart, I told myself not to fall in love with you, not to fall in love with you, I can't fall in love with you! I'm sorry... I hurt you." Ye Zijin's body trembled a little, and her tone seemed to be complaining and annoyed.

After she was silent for a while, her voice gradually lowered again, "Meng Haoxiang...you said that you are not a person who is not trustworthy, so what about our home...you said that you can give me our home... You haven't done it yet, how can you die..." Ye Zijin choked up in the middle of speaking, and tears fell down uncontrollably, soaking Meng Haoxiang's white shirt.

At this moment, Ah Cheng walked in, glanced cautiously outside the door, and said to Ye Zijin: "Miss Ye, Master Hua has already come, you have no time to go out, just hide in the curtain next to you, and wait for the memorial ceremony to end I'll take you out later." Seeing her face covered in tears, Ah Cheng said, "No matter what happens later, don't make a sound, don't cry and be found out."

Seeing that the time was urgent, Ye Zijin knew that Meng Haoxiang's departure was like walking on thin ice in Jin'an Hall, and she didn't want Ah Cheng to be in danger, so she hurriedly got up and hid behind the curtain beside the coffin, because there were many flower baskets hanging around. Silk, Ye Zijin's hiding place is difficult to be found.

Through the gap in the flower basket, Ye Zijin saw Hua Jinkun and Feng Li leading a group of people into the mourning hall. Both of them were dressed in black, and all of them had a white cloth tied around their arms.

Hua Jinkun led Jin'an Hall and bowed three times to Meng Haoxiang's spiritual seat. Everyone looked dignified, and the mourning hall was solemn and solemn.Hua Jinkun first put a few sticks of incense in the incense burner, followed by Feng Li, who lit the incense, then bowed to Meng Haoxiang's spirit seat, and lamented with regret: "Brother Meng, you have a good journey, I will Instead of you, I will share the worries of my adoptive father."

After the rest of the deputy hall masters finished offering incense, Hua Jinkun said some high-sounding words, the main meaning of which was to unite Jin'an Hall. As for the distribution of foreign firms and casinos once managed by Meng Haoxiang, Hua Jinkun said nothing Not mentioned.

Feng Li couldn't bear his temper, and asked tentatively: "Baohui Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. and several casinos are big businesses of Jin'antang. Brother Meng needs someone to take care of these places, otherwise there will be chaos. I don't know what the adoptive father is going to do?"

Hua Jinkun glanced at the crowd, and said seriously: "I have already thought about this issue yesterday. I will assign the business of the casino and the foreign firm to each deputy head in the jurisdiction where they are located, and report the profit and loss to me uniformly every month."

Ye Zijin observed that Feng Li's face became ugly after hearing this, and the other deputy hall masters looked at each other in blank dismay, looking very surprised.

Feng Li originally thought that after Meng Haoxiang's death, foreign firms and casinos would all fall under his jurisdiction, so that Jin'antang's three lifeline businesses would all be in his hands.Unexpectedly, when Hua Jinkun said this, all his hopes came to naught, the cooked duck flew away, and he actually made a wedding dress for someone else!

Feng Li quietly glared at several deputy hall masters, and one of them boldly suggested to Hua Jinkun: "Master Feng has been in charge of the neon clothes stage for a long time, and he must be more familiar with business affairs. Handing over part of the business of foreign firms or casinos to Young Master Feng will definitely bring in significant profits."

Hua Jinkun rolled up his sleeves, and said with a slight smile, "Teacher Mo is also Ah Li's elder, why should he underestimate his own strength and elevate a young boy like this? It's a bit too modest."

Hall Master Mo hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I dare not, but I just feel that Young Master Feng has made a lot of contributions to Jin'an Hall over the years. Son, it is reasonable for him to take over Jin'antang's business, and it will also convince the people below."

Ye Zijin hid in the dark and could see clearly that Hall Master Mo was clearly colluding with Feng Li in plotting to seize power, and everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.Ye Zijin thought that Hua Jinkun had been hanging around in Shanghai for decades anyway, so he probably couldn't fail to see the ambitions of these people... But after thinking about it, since Feng Li is Hua Jinkun's adopted son, Hua Jinkun also Sooner or later, Jin'antang will be handed over to him, why not take advantage of the important task entrusted to him now to make plans for his future?Ye Zijin hoped that Hua Jinkun already had doubts.

Hua Jinkun nodded, looked at Feng Li beside him, and said, "You elders value you so much, and intend to recommend you to take over Ah Xiang's burden, what do you think?"

Feng Li respectfully said: "Father, I will obey your orders. If you hand over the foreign firm and the casino to me, I guarantee that I will not do worse than Brother Meng."

Hua Jinkun thought for a while, patted Feng Li's shoulder kindly with his eyes, and said, "Ah Li, you are still young, first you have to experience a few more years on the big neon clothes stage, and you are so lucky to be in the business of foreign firms and casinos with a few hall masters." Learn, your qualifications are too low in the Tao, not enough to convince the public."

Feng Li was taken aback for a moment, his hands had already clenched into fists, and he was still smiling respectfully.He looked at Hua Jinkun with complicated eyes, and suddenly walked in front of Hua Jinkun, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and his smile became a little chillier. "Father, I have been waiting for so many years, and I can hardly wait any longer. What do you think I should do?"

Hua Jinkun didn't change his face, and said earnestly: "Young people, you won't suffer if you have more patience."

"Father, I'm sorry, I can't wait any longer." Feng Li smiled ruthlessly, and slowly flashed his gun from behind, aiming the cold muzzle at Hua Jinkun's face.

Old Xu was about to rush forward to protect him, but was held down by several people, and then a group of men with guns poured in from outside and surrounded the mourning hall.

"Ah Li, what do you mean?" Hua Jinkun smiled wryly.

A bitter cold air appeared on Feng Li's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said, "Father, I have endured it for a long time, you always favor Meng Haoxiang, now that he is dead, you still won't turn to me. I know I'm not Your own son, but you can't give Meng Haoxiang the position of hall master, I don't accept it! Don't blame me for not thinking of the relationship between father and son, it's you who treated me unfairly first."

Hua Jinkun laughed twice, the laughter was low and sad, Ye Zijin clearly saw the tears in the corner of Hua Jinkun's eyes.Sure enough, as she expected, Feng Li had long been ambitious, and now he has eliminated Meng Haoxiang with the help of Hua Jinkun, and now he is going to force Hua Jinkun to hand over the position of hall master.Ye Zijin sighed in his heart. For a father, there is nothing more sad than a child who brought him up with one hand to bite him back. Feng Li didn't think about the kindness of parenting. If Hua Jinkun didn't give up, I'm afraid he Will kill Hua Jinkun with his own hands.Now the entire Jin'an hall should be controlled by Feng Li's people. As long as Hua Jinkun dies, no one will dare to defy Feng Li again.

Ye Zijin saw that the situation was serious, but she also suffered from her own powerlessness. What could she do now as a weak woman, her beloved died for her, even after death, she would not feel at peace, so she could only watch Feng Li's plot succeed.Ye Zijin thought of Ah Cheng, presumably Meng Haoxiang's old department would not submit to Feng Li so quickly, if they could save Hua Jinkun, maybe Jin'antang would not fall into Feng Li's hands.

But when Ye Zijin looked for Ah Cheng's figure, he found that Ah Cheng and others were not in the mourning hall. Could it be that they all ran away on their own?

Hua Jinkun felt pain and hatred in his heart, he kept nodding his head and said, "Okay, okay, the son I raised actually pointed a gun at his father, okay... okay..."

Feng Li shook his gun and said with a smile: "Father, as long as you give me the position of head of Jin'an Hall in front of everyone, I can let you live and let you go back to your hometown to take care of you. You are still my foster father. Don't worry, I will take care of you until the end of your life."

"What if I don't do this?" Hua Jinkun said coldly.

Feng Li's eyes tightened, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

"Papa" two shots fired one after another, Ye Zijin covered her ears and closed her eyes in shock, unable to bear to watch the scene of this father and son fighting each other.But when she opened her eyes, she was shocked. She saw Feng Li was kneeling on the ground with his back arched and his knees hugged and howling, with blood flowing all over his body!

The people in the hall were all stunned, they all fell to their knees in fright, buried their heads and dared not speak.
