Piao Tianzi     Chapter 397 Counterattack in Bi Shiqi

"Master, Huang Han has come back secretly?" Bi Fu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, "But we have arranged manpower in several places in the city. If he comes back, we should be able to get news."

"Huang Han can naturally think of what we think of." Bi Shijie's face was so cold that it could be covered with frost. He looked at Bi Fu with a gloomy face, "If it were me, I would have disguised myself and hid in the dark to plan."

"Dress up!" Bi Fu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Master, is that one-eyed man from Shannan Huang Han?"

"Not only the one-eyed man, but also the person who entered the government office, were all Huang Han. He controlled everything in Yangzhou City behind the scenes." Bi Shijie nodded expressionlessly, without any sense of color in his cold voice. He had already figured out the whole story of the matter. This time he had fallen into Tan Zong's plan!

"Master, if you say this, Aunt Mei from Piaoxiangyuan may have been targeted by Huang Han. If Aunt Mei gives us the people in Yangzhou Prefecture, then our losses will be great." Bi Fu's face suddenly turned bloodless. As Bi Shijie's confidant and assistant, he knew Aunt Mei's identity.

"Aunt Mei doesn't have to worry. She would rather die than betrayal!" Bi Shijie frowned for a while, shook her head decisively, then turned to Bi Fu, and said in a deep voice, "The situation is very complicated now. You can immediately send someone to the second young master and tell him not to act without permission. When the time is right, I will naturally arrange for him to leave. In addition, find a way to notify the eldest young master outside and tell him not to come back and go directly to Lingnan. Then someone will naturally pick him up."

Bi Dongcheng went to Shuchuan to discuss a large business more than ten days ago. He was very lucky that he avoided this disaster in Yangzhou City.

As for Bixi, after receiving Zhou Dunran's invitation during the Bixue Festival, he sent someone to take Bixi back and secretly placed it in a resident's home in case of an accident.

Bi Dongcheng and Bi Xi are the two people Bi Shijie is most concerned about. If the two brothers can escape this disaster safely, then he will die without regrets.

"Master, Huang Han is aggressive. If we continue like this, we will be very passive. What should we do next?" Bi Fu nodded and looked at Bi Shijie with a serious expression. If they do not take countermeasures, they will really not have any hope.

"Don't think that you can rest assured if you master the City Defense Forces and the Inspection Office!" Bi Shijie heard this, a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his right fist joint was clenched and it sounded loudly, "Since you want to play, I will play with you.

After a stick of incense, a casino in the south of Yangzhou City.

The casino was crowded with loud noises, and many people were gambled around the gambling table. What happened outside seemed to have nothing to do with them and did not attract everyone's attention at all.

"Did you hear that the city defense force rob Chen Ji gold shop in the name of capturing the imperial criminals. The guys' hands, waists and necks were covered with gold, silver jewelry and utensils. Boss Chen was killed by a knife because of resistance, and his wives, concubines and daughters were also humiliated." Suddenly, a bald young man walked into the casino and came to a gambling table. While playing with Paijiu, he looked at the gamblers around him suspiciously.

"Chen Ji Jinshou!" A young man with a fat black figure couldn't help but look up at the bald young man when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Boss Chen is also a well-known figure in Yangzhou City. The city defense force wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

"This may be, I heard that the imperial envoy wanted to make a big profit before leaving, so he found a few "fat sheep" and took a few "fat sheep" before leaving." At this time, a thin middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously to everyone present.

"No, if he does this, aren't he afraid of impeachment from the censor?" The middle-aged man dressed as a hawker was sitting next to the thin middle-aged man, looking at the thin middle-aged man in surprise.

"What's so fuss about this? Haven't you heard of 'officials protecting each other'? Those officials colluded with each other so that they would not stand up for the wronged families." Now, it was a fat old man in his fifties' turn to speak. He snorted coldly and looked at the people around him, "Everyone, don't forget that the other party is the imperial envoy. As long as he makes an excuse, those families will be destroyed."

"If you say so, is Chen Ji Jinshou really in trouble?" After hearing the fat old man's words, the middle-aged man dressed in a hawker looked at him in confusion, with strange brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"I think it's true!" The fat old man thought for a while, nodded at the middle-aged man dressed in a hawker, and sighed a long time ago, "I think this Chenji Gold Store has suffered a disaster. If the imperial envoy really wanted to touch the Chenji Gold Store, those city defense forces would never dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about it. It seems that the city defense forces had snatched the Chenji Gold Store in private. In order not to make things bigger, the imperial envoy would definitely calm down and turn big things into small things."

"If such a big thing happens, can you hide it?" The bald young man looked at the fat old man in disbelief when he heard this.

"Brother, you don't understand now. Just catch a few idle men on the street and put them on the hat of killing and robbing people, and the case will be covered up." Before the fat old man could speak, the thin middle-aged man said first.

"So that's it." The bald young man suddenly realized and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder the city defense army is so arrogant and domineering. It turns out that he knew that someone would be a scapegoat."

"What a pity, the newly married concubine of Boss Chen was so tender that he was ruined by the hungry wolf in the city defense army." As soon as the bald young man finished speaking, a voice came from behind him. A young man in his twenties and looked like a ruffian shook his head and walked over. Not far away, he heard the conversations of everyone before.

"That's right, that's a pity..." The middle-aged man dressed in a hawker nodded in agreement. He had seen Boss Chen's concubine with fair skin and tall breasts. He was indeed an attractive beauty.

As people at the gambling table discussed what happened in Chenji Jinshou, more and more people gathered around and inquire about the news with interest.

Amid the crowd's discussion, the news that Chen Ji Jinpu was snatched by the city defense force was like wings, and soon spread in the casino.

Unable to contain their curiosity and horror, more and more people left the casino and went to Chenji Gold Shop with great enthusiasm. First, they wanted to see if Chenji Gold Shop was robbed by the City Defense Force, and second, they also wanted to see if they could take advantage of it. Anyway, even the City Defense Force had robbed it, and there was an imperial envoy to support them, so what else would they have to be afraid of?

"Maybe the imperial envoy has considered it other way. Not only the master of the hall and the master of incense, but all the people who attended the banquet did not come back." Deputy Master Wu frowned slightly and said quietly, "Besides, the master of the hall has ordered us to assist the official army in arresting people."

"Dare you ask Deputy Master Wu, did you hear the order from the hall master?" Deputy Master Ling sneered and stared at Deputy Master Wu with a sneer. "How dare you conclude that this was the order from the hall master?"

When Deputy Incense Master Wu heard this, he was speechless. The eight Deputy Incense Masters present received words from people sent by the Lord, and no one had seen the Lord.

"I think this is better. Find an excuse to ask the master to come back to the government office." The room fell into silence again. The stout middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "We should wait for an opportunity to act based on the reaction of the imperial envoy."

As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately approved by the seven deputy incense masters at the scene. The scar-faced man immediately called on several gang members and rode his horse to the government office to invite Fang Youde, on the grounds that Deputy Incense Master Wu and Deputy Incense Master Ling fought because of a feud, which led to a serious confrontation between the two brothers in the incense hall, and there was a danger of being furious at any time. The master asked the hall master to go back and uphold justice.

The reason why we use Deputy Xiangzhu Wu and Deputy Xiangzhu Ling as excuses is mainly because the other party Youde's current situation has completely different judgments and is not convinced by each other, wanting to see who is right and who is wrong. In addition, the two have indeed had conflicts in the past. If Fang Youde is safe and sound, he would also explain it to the imperial envoy.

After the scar-faced man left, the eight deputy incense masters drank tea absent-mindedly. If the imperial envoy really wanted to take the Zhongyitang operation, then they would all be in trouble.

While waiting anxiously, a noise suddenly came from the yard. The people in the room quickly looked out and saw a few big men walking in with a man covered in blood, followed by a large group of gangs.

"What's going on?" The deputy incense masters at the scene recognized the wounded man as the scar-faced man who had gone to the government office before. They were shocked and stood up and surrounded him. The leading stout middle-aged man leaned over and asked in a deep voice to the scar-faced man.

"I... we met... the city defense force on the road. After learning that we were going to the government office to ask... the hall master, he suddenly attacked us in the name of thieves... bandits." The scar-faced man opened his eyes and looked at the people around him weakly, his head tilted and he fainted.

"Hurry, send it down for treatment." The stout middle-aged man's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said to the gang members beside him in a deep voice.

The big man around him immediately raised the scarred man in all his arms and hurriedly carried him to the wing room for treatment.

"Everyone, the situation is already very obvious. The imperial envoy does not want the master to come back. If we do not take action, we can only sit and wait for death." Deputy Xiangzhu Ling looked at the scar-faced man's figure and said loudly to the several deputy Xiangzhu beside him.
