The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

Hall Master Huang Weisheng of the Yellow Hall was definitely a significant figure in Wujiang City.

His path to fame was also quite legendary. He was originally the owner of a small gambling house, and just as his business was booming, he suddenly retreated bravely. Despite his family's objections, he sold the gambling house to someone else.

He used the wealth he had earned to donate and obtain the identity of an outer disciple at the Huayan Temple.

Then, he devoted himself to practicing diligently for seven years, until he had mastered the Harmonious Palm to a small degree and reached the Third-Rate realm before finally descending the mountain.

Upon returning to the city, he resumed his old business and opened a new gambling house called Happy Hall.

Relying on his previous experience and his solid martial arts skills, Happy Hall quickly surpassed the gambling house he had originally sold.

The buyer saw that business was getting worse and worse and wanted to use some underhanded means, but found that he couldn't beat Huang Weisheng in a direct confrontation, and was also afraid of his sect, the Huayan Temple, when it came to soft tactics.

In the end, he had no choice but to sell the gambling house back to Huang Weisheng at a low price.

After that, Huang Weisheng used various means to successively swallow several small casinos, gradually gaining momentum.

However, he was not without opponents. The owners of the other two gambling houses in the city were also not simple. With Huang Weisheng's crazy expansion, the atmosphere between the three parties became increasingly tense.

Just when everyone thought they would fight to the death, no one expected that Huang Weisheng would persuade the two competitors to jointly establish the Three Tigers Hall.

The three parties joined together, monopolizing the gambling business in the city in one fell swoop, and unanimously elected Huang Weisheng as the hall master.

Subsequently, Huang Weisheng relied on the rich income brought by the gambling house to recruit soldiers and horses, and widely recruit talents, and finally made the Three Tigers Hall a martial arts force that could not be ignored in Wujiang.

It was impossible for Zhang Sanfeng, who lived in Wujiang City, not to know such a powerful figure.

Not only did he know him, but he had also met him. When Huang Weisheng's ninth concubine gave birth to a son and held a full moon wine, Zhang Sanfeng also went and gave a string of money as a gift.

Afterwards, he went in and had a drink, but Huang Weisheng met a lot of people that day, and Zhang Sanfeng was not a great figure, so Huang Weisheng probably forgot about him after seeing him.

As a result, he didn't expect that Hall Master Huang would personally come to visit today.

Zhang Sanfeng did not dare to neglect him, and quickly took Lu Jing out to greet him.

After seeing Huang Weisheng, he cupped his fist in one hand, and then his body subconsciously bent down, "Hall Master Huang, welcome to our humble abode…"

But before he could finish his words, he saw Huang Weisheng stride over, grab his body, and said anxiously, "Absolutely not, absolutely not, how can this junior accept such a great gift from you, senior."

"Hall Master Huang, you misunderstood. I am just an unknown person, not a senior master." Zhang Sanfeng quickly explained.

"I understand, I understand…" Although he said that, Huang Weisheng didn't let go of his hand, and the expression on his face became more and more respectful.

This matter was seen by Master Zhao, a group of镖师from the Changfeng镖局, and many捕快from the county government. Even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't, and besides, there was still the imperial city's reward money to receive, so Lu Jing could only admit it readily.

"Good, good, good, another hero has emerged in my Wujiang City, which is a great blessing for the martial arts world!" Hall Master Huang cheered several times in a row, and then said.

"When Huang first heard about this, he was so excited that he couldn't help but drink several bowls of wine. He only regretted not being able to see the heroic appearance of the two of you. Therefore, when he learned that Old Master Zhang had returned from outside, he rushed over immediately, but he didn't expect the old senior to come out to greet him, which is really embarrassing for Huang."

At this point, Zhang Sanfeng understood.

As long as Lu Jing admits that he killed Yama's Xiao, then even if he talks until his mouth is dry, Huang Weisheng will not believe that he is just an ordinary old镖师.

Because ordinary镖师cannot teach such a powerful disciple.

Is there anything wrong with this logic?

Not at all!

Zhang Sanfeng asked himself, if he were in Huang Weisheng's position, he probably wouldn't believe what he said earlier, and would only confirm his identity as a hidden master even more.

Huang Weisheng is probably still sighing in his heart, a master is a master, he doesn't care about some secular fame.

Who can he reason with about this?

Zhang Sanfeng sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth, and ignored Huang Weisheng's attitude towards him. Anyway, he still regarded himself as the original unknown person and was polite to Huang Weisheng.

This way, one day when the truth comes out, Huang Weisheng shouldn't be angry with him.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go inside first, Hall Master Huang." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"Okay, then I'll bother you." After Huang Weisheng finished speaking, he didn't move his feet, but instead waved to the two subordinates carrying the burden on the street, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and carry it over."

After speaking, he said to the stunned Zhang Sanfeng, "Huang knows that Mr. Zhang and his disciples don't care much about gold and silver, so he brought some fresh fruits, which are not commonly eaten in Wujiang City, but they are not worth much money. It's just Huang's wish, and I hope Mr. Zhang won't decline."

Having said that, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't refuse, otherwise he would be disrespecting Hall Master Huang, so he could only watch the two of them carry the baskets behind him.

Just as Huang Weisheng was about to step into the courtyard, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly remembered something, his face suddenly changed, and he winked at Lu Jing next to him, "You go inside and clean up first, Hall Master Huang and I will go in later."

Lu Jing smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Master, Niu Jiu came just now, and Hall Master Huang came to visit you immediately. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Huang Weisheng's face was a little embarrassed when he was exposed.

But after all, he was the head of a gang, and he quickly recovered. Since Lu Jing had pointed out his intention, he simply opened up and bowed to Zhang Sanfeng again, "Huang was a little reckless in his previous actions. I didn't know that you two masters and disciples were still in the Green Bamboo Gang… These days, I have actually been very panicked and can't sleep well, and I have been thinking about how to deal with the aftermath."

"Hall Master Huang is too worried, I really have no intention of getting involved in this matter." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"I understand, I understand, Mr. Zhang, you are benevolent and generous and don't want to argue with us… But we juniors can't be ignorant of propriety. How about this, we originally wanted to return the Green Bamboo Gang to its original state, but Gang Leader Xie is no longer here, so… why don't you come and be the new Gang Leader of the Green Bamboo Gang?"

"Hall Master Huang, don't joke, I can't do this job." Zhang Sanfeng waved his hands repeatedly.

"Since Mr. Zhang is unwilling to take over, then… then the Green Bamboo Gang will be temporarily managed by my Three Tigers Hall, but the rules for sharing the profits…"

"It's all up to Hall Master Huang to decide, I have no objection."

"Okay, then Huang will take the liberty of changing the original three-to-seven split to four-to-six, so that the brothers at the pier can remember your kindness, Mr.…"

"…………"

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, why aren't you talking?"
