The heavens: pushing across all realms

In Tongwen Club, Lu Haodong looked at his old friends with a serious expression.

"Everyone, the time has come. I'm afraid there will be chaos in Guangzhou."

A young man wearing glasses immediately asked: "Brother Haodong, have you got any news?"

This person's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Shaobai. He is an important member of the Xingzhong Society.

Lu Haodong nodded slightly: "The Feng Ji and Feng Daoke recommended by Jinsun will probably take action against the Thirteenth Group in the near future. By then, the government and foreigners will probably be attracted to it. This is the best time for us to carry out an armed uprising!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned.

Chen Shaobai couldn't help but shook his head: "Nonsense, Haodong, how can you put the hope of revolution on a warrior?"

"Yes, Haodong, a martial artist, why should he fight against the Thirteen Elements?"

"Behind the Thirteenth Line, there are the government, four major families, and foreigners. How can he, a foreign warrior, have the confidence to take action against the Thirteenth Line?"

"Haodong, haven't you seen that the four major families have started to deal with him in the past few days? The city is full of arrest documents, and there are police officers who want him everywhere. How dare he come forward?"

"The time has not come yet, Haodong. Don't mention this matter again. Quickly call Hong Kong and tell Yixian that the revolution still needs to wait for the opportunity."

"Yes, Haodong, the guns haven't arrived yet, and the manpower from Zhi Gong Tang and the Triads haven't arrived yet either. Let's wait."

Lu Haodong couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw everyone trying to persuade him.

"Everyone, no matter whether Brother Feng Ji succeeds or not, we should take a comprehensive plan. At least the guns and ammunition should be prepared first, right?"

"What if, I mean what if he really does it? When there is chaos in Guangzhou, we will think of a way to take action by then, but it will be too late! The foreigners and the Qing court will not give us time to prepare."

"Haodong, do you really believe in this Feng Ji?"

"It's not that I believe in him, it's that I believe in Jinsun. He has been in the north for many years and has never made any mistakes when it comes to understanding people and things."

"This matter is not urgent. Let us discuss it later."

"Oh, how can one who is doing great things be indecisive? I'll send a telegram to Yixian!"

…

American Concession, Thirteenth Street.

The four major families gathered here, Tongfu went to the Pan family, Yihe went to the Wu family, Guangli went to the Lu family, Tianbao went to the Ye family, and all the talkers gathered here at the Lu family.

All the head offices of the Thirteen Banks are located here, but the most powerful of the four major families is naturally the Guanglixing Lu family.

The Lu family has a lot of money, and they are all involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, and everything is a huge profit.

This gathering is here at the Lu family.

Pan Zhidong, the head of the Pan family, looked ugly and said: "A day and a night have passed, and there is still no news at all. Could it be that the murderer flew out?"

"We, the four major families of the Thirteenth Line, have joined forces to arrest even one person. If word spreads, people will laugh to death!"

After Pan Zhidong finished speaking, Wu Bingjian, the head of the Wu family in Yihehang, also sneered.

After they finished speaking, Ye Shanglin, the head of the Ye family, suddenly laughed and said, "Hey? Brother Pan, Brother Wu, what did you say? That person didn't provoke me and Brother Lu. No matter how much people outside laughed, The joke is not on our Ye family and Lu family."

"Ye Shanglin, what are you talking about? The Thirteenth Group of Guangdong has always been a company that prospered and suffered losses. We have lost face, and your face will be lighted?" Pan Zhidong said angrily.

Wu Bingjian also sneered and said: "Old Ye, don't gloat about others' misfortunes. How do you know that crazy guy won't kill you in Tianbaoxing tomorrow?"

Ye Shanglin immediately smiled and said: "Brother Wu, you don't know why that person killed your fellow traveler? Hey, hey, hey, it's not like your people are short-sighted and bought someone they shouldn't have bought? He came here to seek revenge. That’s all, let me tell you, this is a personal vendetta, why should my Ye family get involved?”

Seeing that several people were still arguing, Lu Jiguang couldn't help but frown slightly, knocked on the table lightly, and said: "Everyone, when is it, are you still in the mood to argue?"

He glanced at Ye Shanglin and said: "Old Ye, although your Tianbao Bank does not occupy cigarettes, operate a gambling stall, or run a brothel, don't forget who you rely on for food."

"Right now, two foreigners have died in the concession. These two foreigners have unusual identities. They are both senior executives of America Pacific Company. Now America wants us to hand over the murderer. Do you dare not agree?"

"Without foreigners' permission, which of your silks, teas, and minerals can leave the port next month?"

After saying these words, Ye Shanglin immediately snorted and stopped making sarcastic remarks.

He is a serious businessman, not like the other three major families, who are involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, so he somewhat looks down on these people in his heart.

But precisely because he has not been involved in these industries, although he is among the four major families, he has always been at the bottom.

Seeing that Ye Shanglin was no longer trying to cause trouble, Lu Jiguang looked at Pan Zhidong and Wu Bingjian with satisfaction and asked, "The foreigners are in a hurry and only gave us three days to catch the murderer."

"Do you have any clues here? Searching all over Guangzhou is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Wu Bingjian immediately said: "I have investigated the situation at Yiheyuan, and someone saw with his own eyes that this person rescued a prostitute and a woman."

"I verified the identities of these two people. They both have the surname Duan. I'm afraid the murderer is closely related to the Duan family."

"Someone at the scene heard the prostitute calling the murderer uncle."

As soon as Wu Bingjian finished speaking, Ye Shanglin couldn't help but sneered: "It's really a personal vendetta."

Wu Bingjian glared at him but said nothing.

The business they do at Yihe Bank and the Pan family's Tongfu Bank can easily lead to revenge from people looking for relatives.

But in the past, those who dared to come to seek revenge would die one by one. How could I have encountered a vicious person who could fight one against a hundred.

This time I hit the wall.

However, they didn't realize how hard this iron plate was, and they just regarded it as a little troublesome.

And this trouble does not mean that the murderer killed hundreds of Chinese people, but two foreigners.

Otherwise, in their eyes, this matter might not even be considered a trouble.

In their eyes, the lives of two foreigners are much more important than the lives of a hundred Chinese people.

This is related to the attitude of foreigners towards them, which makes them unhappy. Their goods cannot even leave Guangzhou, let alone be sold overseas.

"Brother Pan, I bought the people from your colleague Fuxing. Do you have any impressions of these two people? Have you found any clues?"

Pan Zhidong nodded slightly and said, "I have sent people to investigate. These two people were indeed kidnapped from the shanty town by my subordinates."

"At that time, there were several family members named Duan who were kidnapped together. The men were all sold to foreigners."

"There were two women and a child at that time. One of the women was named Duan Hongmin, and the child was named Duan Dabao. They were all sold to Yihe Bank, where the murderer rescued the older one and the younger one."

"The remaining woman was bought by a foreign priest."

"Have you found the foreign priest?"

"Still looking."

Lu Jiguang immediately said: "Since this person is determined to save the Duan family and has already rescued two people, he will definitely save this woman. The other men sold to foreigners must also be his relatives."

"In this way, you think of a way to get those Duan family men back from the foreigners."

"Maybe we can use these people as bait to lure out the murderer."

Ye Shanglin snorted coldly: "Trouble, didn't you just grab someone to deal with it in the past? Do you have to catch the murderer this time? It's not like you haven't seen the murderer's kung fu, so why bother with this effort? Why not? Just grab a prisoner from death row and hand him over."

Lu Jiguang shook his head: "Foreigners are not as easy to deceive as our officials. They really like to compete and will not give up until they catch the real culprit. Remember, you can fool the government, but you can't fool the foreigners."

Ye Shanglin rolled his eyes.

"Then go check it out."

A few people were discussing when suddenly the old housekeeper of the Lu family hurried in from outside.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

Lu Jiguang frowned slightly: "Why are you panicking? What's going on?"

"The branches of our Guangli Bank in Huangpu Port, Qingshui Bay, Nanqiao and other places were smashed and the smoke was burned, and many employees died."

Lu Jiguang's eyes widened instantly and he stood up suddenly: "What did you say?!"

Before the butler could say it again, he saw followers from the Pan family and the Wu family running outside.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

"Master, something big happened!"

Pan Zhidong and Wu Bingjian couldn't help but look bad, and stood up in a hurry.

Before asking, the attendant hurriedly shouted: "Sir, please go back home quickly. Many of the branches of our colleagues outside have been burned down, and many people have been killed!"

"Master, several branches of Yihe Branch in Chunfeng Building and Wanhua Building were smashed by others, and many kiln sisters escaped!"

"There is also a gambling stall. The gambling stall was also destroyed!"

The heads of the four major families looked shocked and angry, and shouted almost simultaneously: "Who did this?"

"I don't know, that group of people are very skilled in martial arts and are not like ordinary people!"

Lu Jiguang slammed the table and roared: "This is outrageous! Is this still Guangzhou?"

Pan Zhidong was also furious: "Who is so brave and dares to offend my Pan family!"

"Quick, recruit people quickly and arrest them!"

"In addition, notify the government immediately and let the government lead troops. Anyone who causes trouble will be shot without mercy!"

Several family heads yelled angrily and immediately issued orders.

Among the four, only Ye Shanglin was thoughtful and sat on his chair without moving.

It seems like nothing happened to him in Tianbaoxing?

Are the accidents happening in opium dens, gambling stalls, brothels, and dental shops?

He didn't think for long, Lu Jiguang and the others had already given the order and began to blockade Guangzhou City.

"Something is not right about this. Someone wants to touch our four major families!" Pan Zhidong reacted and shouted immediately.

Lu Jiguang also came to his senses and said immediately: "There is indeed something wrong. Where did these people come from?"

"Who is behind this?"

"No matter who the other party is, when they come to our Guangzhou, they have to be coiled up if they are dragons, and they have to lie down if they are tigers."

"Should we notify the foreigners in the concession?"

"Of course, we don't have that kind of guns, so we have to rely on the foreign artillery teams."

…

Orders were issued one after another, and the city of Guangzhou instantly became turbulent.

A large number of government patrols were dispatched on the streets, and gangs from the four major families also took action.

Ordinary people sensed something was wrong and closed their stalls one after another.

"Dang-dang-dang... the rest of the crowd are waiting to avoid it, and the bandits are being caught in the city!"

"Dang, clang, clang... the government arrests the bandits, but the people avoid it!"

A large number of policemen beat gongs and drums to disperse the crowd.

The busy streets became deserted.

There was only a procession of men walking with swords in their hands.

American Concession, English Concession, French Concession, Japanese Concession...

The major concessions in Guangzhou were quickly put under martial law. A large number of patrol teams appeared nearby, and checkpoints were set up at the entrances and exits of important roads to prohibit passage.

Boom!

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar sounded from the south of the city.

Above the Lu Family Castle, people from the four major families hurriedly walked out and looked to the south, with shocked and angry expressions on their faces.

Lu Jiguang was shocked and said: "Vulcan cannon?"

Pan Zhidong's face was filled with shock and anger: "These people actually have Vulcan cannons?"

Wu Bingjian was also in disbelief: "Where did the Vulcan cannon come from? Something is wrong, something is wrong! This is not an ordinary gangster!"

Ye Shanglin also turned gloomy: "Damn it, who are these people!"

Vulcan cannons are weapons that only foreigners have. The Vulcan cannons of the Qing Dynasty are all old antiques and are useless. The latest weapons are all purchased from abroad.

The Vulcan cannon just fired was so powerful that it was probably more than ten miles away from here, but it still roared like thunder!

They had only seen such powerful firearms on foreign ships!

…

Huangli Street, in front of a ruin with flames blazing into the sky.

Hong Yihu laughed loudly, turned to look at Feng Ji, and said, "Brother Xian, how about our Vulcan Cannon?"

Feng Ji stood beside him, looking at the clumsy artillery, sighing in his heart.

"It is indeed powerful. How can a mortal body be able to withstand such a divine weapon? No matter how strong I am, I may not be able to withstand the power of this cannon."

Next to him was an iron cannon as black as ink.

The Hongmen people were loading cannonballs and turning the muzzles.

Ahead, there were flames and ruins. The members of the Tongfu Gang who had originally blocked their path were dead and fled.

Personal bravery is indeed vulnerable to firearms.

When Hong Yihu heard Feng Ji's emotion, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, we have practiced kung fu all our lives, but we can't help but be bombarded by foreigners. If we are so lagging behind others, do not think about change, and only care about enjoyment, the Qing government should It’s destroyed.”

He went undercover in Nanjing and saw too many corruptions among Qing officials. He knew that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted and it was time for the Hongmen to come back!

While the two were talking, a figure suddenly came over. They saw the person coming on horseback carrying the flag of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

"Brother Feng and Uncle Hong took down Donglin Street. The brothels, dental shops, opium dens, and gambling stalls were all destroyed by us!"

"My father also found some thirteen lines of opium stocks, hundreds of kilograms in total. Jiaye and Yade are following Master Lin's example of selling opium in Humen."

Xiao Min turned over and jumped off the horse, and immediately reported the results of the battle at Zhenyuan Escort to Feng Ji and Hong Yihu.

Feng Ji and Feng Ji immediately laughed.

Hong Yihu asked: "Are you in trouble?"

Xiao Min smiled and said: "Those places are guarded by some local snake gangs, but they are just a bunch of mobs. Our escort agency took action and only killed a few rounds before scaring them all away."

Feng Ji smiled, turned around, and looked in the direction of the American Concession: "Those are the minions, the real opponents are there!"

Hong Yihu looked in the direction of the concession and knew that members of the four major families were hiding inside.

To destroy the Thirteenth Line, you must first kill the four major families!

Suddenly, someone shouted from behind the Hongmen team.

"The officers and soldiers are here!"

Hong Yihu turned around and suddenly laughed: "Brother Xian, what am I talking about? As long as we take action, the government will definitely intervene."

Feng Ji also looked back and couldn't help but sneer: "If officials don't make decisions for the people, what's the point? If they want to stop us, kill them first!"

"After killing an official, there is no turning back." Hong Yihu said solemnly.

Feng Ji burst out laughing and patted the suitcase next to him.

With a bang, the suitcase cracked open, revealing a pair of thick armor made of fine steel.

On both sides of the armor were two iron shields covered with sharp barbs.

The edge of the iron shield is a sharp blade!

Feng Ji put on the armor piece by piece, put on the wrist guards in the iron shield with both hands, and raised the two ferocious iron shields. He looked like a stainless steel beast!

"If you can't look back, then go forward and kill him cleanly!"

Let’s talk about the update issue. Next, I will try my best to update 10,000 words every day. I don’t know how long I can keep it up. However, the number of chapters remains the same, there are still 2 updates, so they are all big chapters.

I usually try my best to send it out together around 9-10 a.m. If I can’t write it out, I will notify you.

The monthly ticket is almost 400. Brothers, one person, one vote, it will be 500 soon. If there are more chapters, it will be a big chapter. I won’t fool everyone with small chapters. Don’t worry about this.

In addition, in terms of plot, there will be a climax next, but I don’t dare to go deeper into the political and historical aspects, otherwise it will be easy to be harmonized, so I will end the late Qing Dynasty volume as soon as possible.
