Chapter 247: Return to the ancestral grave for burial

"Since I took over Gaoyou, I have never found any pirates hijacking ships on Gaoyou Lake. However, those pirates appeared and just happened to hijack your ship, as if they knew you were very rich." Zhang Yang said casually: "It is said that near Dadu, your convoy was also attacked."

He Zhaoyi's heart sank: Can you really not hide anything from Brother Shicheng?

"One can be called accidental, and two times are definitely a malicious incident. There must be problems here!" Zhang Yang said: "Although I don't want to make Wuwang's guess, I'm sure if you go back to Yangzhou to bury the two of you alone, you will definitely encounter a third danger."

He Zhaoyi's face turned pale, and she lowered her head powerlessly: What should I do? What should I do? She suddenly felt powerless. She wanted to be independent and become a successful businessman, but she could not pass this threshold.

When Zhang Yang looked at He Zhaoyi, he knew that she must have known that all this was done by He Zhaojie, the second son of the He family. Zhang Yang was the most disgusted with such beasts who could kill his father and elder brother for the sake of himself and not even let his sister go. He was alone in Yangzhou and was still in the hands of the province, so he could not touch him. Otherwise, he would definitely borrow the food first. If he arrived at him, he would borrow a thousand stone of salt first.

After a long time, He Zhaoyi finally raised her head, her eyes full of determination: "Brother Shicheng, I need your help." She was mentally prepared. When necessary, it was time to show up with her second brother and settle the score with her second brother. Even if she was a weak woman, she would seek justice for her father and eldest brother!

Zhang Yang nodded, and then he felt a little like a tiger girl in the Shang family. "I will send a team of ten people to protect your safety. Not only to go back to Yangzhou, but also to Pingjiang and other places to collect grain, and transport grain to Dadu. They will protect you throughout the process until you have the ability to protect yourself."

There are not many ten people, but they send ten people who are proficient in shooting and good at shooting, which is enough to deal with such low-intensity conflicts. When encountering ordinary thieves, the firepower of the ten Tianque guns can completely break up the opponent. Moreover, ten people dressed as ordinary servants, which will not attract attention. After all, they are transporting grain and backstage support like Minmin. Too many people will lead to too large targets and easily arouse doubts.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Shicheng." He Zhaoyi said, but there was a hint of alienation in his words.

Guangling eats cold food in the sky, without fog or smoke. The warm sun condenses flowers and willows, and the spring breeze disperses orchestras. Today, Yangzhou City is already filled with the shore of the willows and the spring air is filled with the spring air, and the green beside the pool reflects the red skirt.

In Yangzhou City, in Bizhu Lane, a carriage drove over quietly, arrived at a small house, and got off the carriage.

"You are all waiting for me here." The young master and the servant said, and then pushed open the door of the house.

"Yes, young master." The servant replied, looking at the young master's blue face, no one wanted to touch any bad things.

He Zhaojie was very angry and surprised. In the morning, he received a secret report from his confidant that the Jiaolong Gang had not completed the task he had entrusted, but had even finished the Great Head and the Second Head. Now the Jiaolong Gang is dominated by the Third Head, and there are only more than 30 gang members left.

The Jiaolong Gang is a gang that has no business on the Yangtze River. Because he transported salt everywhere, he needed to break up the relationship between black and white. He Zhaojie took a lot of effort to get in touch with the Jiaolong Gang and gave him some benefits every time. The other party agreed to not fight against the He family's salt ship. Moreover, when He Zhaojie was special, he could also ask them to go out and kill the salt ship that was right with him. The salt he got was also sold by the He family. After He Zhaojie took over the He family's transaction, he became bigger and bigger, and this factor also played a great role.

When he learned that He Zhaoyi was coming back, He Zhaojie immediately persuaded the Jiaolong Gang to help him grab He Zhaoyi's ship. Half of the silver on the ship was divided into Jiaolong Gang. After learning the amount of the silver, the Jiaolong Gang was immediately moved. The boss set out overnight and rushed to intercept it, fearing that the deal would be done by other water gangs.

He Zhaojie immediately sent his confidant to follow, with only one purpose: after the Jiaolong succeeded, he would report to the government immediately!

The Jiaolong Gang robbed the He family's property and killed the eldest lady of the He family. Moreover, the Jiaolong Gang has been scattered across the Yangtze River Basin in recent years and has done many evil deeds. The government also wants to arrest them. Moreover, He Zhaojie is familiar with the nearby government. They will definitely help this busyness, so after arranging this chain of plans, He Zhaojie is waiting for news in Yangzhou.

Although this is not good enough for the Jiaolong Gang, if the Jiaolong Gang has half of the silver, He Zhaojie will be too painful. If the silver that Dad took away from him, how can he bring back all the money he has done? It will definitely be a huge sum of money!

Unexpectedly, the Jiaolong Gang did not complete the task, but suffered heavy losses. After He Zhaojie learned about it, he immediately rushed to the house where he contacted the Jiaolong Gang and asked what was going on.

"Boss He is here, please come in." He Zhaojie entered the house and saw new faces. He did not feel suspicious. He heard that they had suffered a crushing defeat. The original people here probably had fed the turtle in the river.

"Boss He, we have always worked together and tacitly. How could Boss He do such an unrighteous thing this time and kill my elder brother and second brother?"

After entering the room, before He Zhaojie could speak, the other party suddenly took the lead.

"How dare you ask what is this brother called?" He Zhaojie asked.

"It's really a puppy who doesn't know Mount Tai. This is our new leader." A minion next to him said.

"It turned out to be the boss. I am very familiar with the boss. This is the first time I met the boss with the new boss. I went to the water village several times, but I haven't seen him. Now I'm here in Yangzhou. Then we will set up a seat in Zhaixing Tower tonight to welcome the boss." He Zhaojie said.

"Just forget to welcome the wind, how do you calculate my big brother's affairs?" said the new master.

It turned out to be a waste, He Zhaojie thought that this new boss was less than 10% of the boss, and from then on, the Jiaolong Gang was declining. What he said just now was a satirizing that the other party was not qualified at all, but he was lucky and climbed into this position. Who knew that he didn't hear it at all. He questioned himself like this, just pretending to be very righteous after he came to the stage and setting an example for his brothers. If he really avenged them, why didn't he find those who killed them? By the way, he had to ask clearly who was interfering in the middle.

"The boss also knows that the Gang and I have always worked together sincerely, so how could it hurt the boss?" He Zhaojie said: "If I had really done something wrong with it, would I have been so anxious to run over the trap?"

"Well," the boss nodded. He just threatened, or just pretended, and his purpose was half. The other half was because the water village had now declined, so he had to squeeze out some money from the He family and recruit brothers to restore his original momentum.

"That was because of helping Boss He do business, and something unexpected happened. The water village has suffered huge losses now, which has a lot to do with Boss He." said the boss.

Bah! When I said there were benefits, why did your Dragon Gang go so hard? Now that I haven't done it, I'm going to find me if I have lost money? You are just doing business without a lot, and you should have thought that there would be such a day. He Zhaojie thought about it. Since all the losses were huge, he would give up completely. There are several other water gangs that he can build up.

But he still pretended to be harmless: "I am extremely surprised that the Gang suffered huge losses. Don't worry, the He family will not stand by. Do you know who did it? You have never missed the Gang before."

"I don't know the details. I heard from my brothers who came back by chance that they had already succeeded in Gaoyou Lake and had already boarded the boat. However, suddenly a smoked boat rushed out, and there were powerful firearms on it. A few sounds of firearms, and the brothers on the boat fell down." said the boss.

A smoked boat? What kind of boat is that? He Zhaojie is full of doubts. However, in terms of firearms, it was definitely Zhang Shicheng who was equipped with powerful firearms. Although the province has sent Li Pu and Yi Buhua as the parents of Gaoyou Mansion, there is no doubt that Zhang Shicheng is there to get the wind and rain.

Zhang Shicheng, what is this person from? He Zhaojie has changed from a small salt field to a powerful man now. He Zhaojie didn't want to be an opponent with such a person, but the relationship between Zhang Shicheng and He Zhaoyi forced him to stand opposite him. He Zhaoyi is in the same mind as his elder brother. If he wants to control the He family, he must have a feud with his younger sister, but his younger sister just dealt with Zhang Shicheng! However, it is precisely because of this that he successfully took over all the He family's business in Yangzhou. However, the capital of the He family also made He Zhaoyi cheaper.

You must take it over! No matter how powerful Zhang Shicheng is, he will not dare to come to Yangzhou, right?

"Big boss, don't worry, although there was a temporary accident in the Jiaolong Gang, the Jiaolong Gang is still the largest gang on the Yangtze River!" He Zhaojie said, taking out two silver notes from his pocket: "There is a thousand taels of silver here, and the boss will take the emergency first. Don't worry, the Jiaolong Gang will definitely be revived."

The boss looked straight at the two silver notes, one thousand taels! He had never seen so much money!

"I have something to do, let's go first." He Zhaojie said.

"Send Boss He!" said the boss. His attitude was already arrogant at first and respectful at the end.

"Stay, please stay." He Zhaojie said.

After walking out of the yard, He Zhaojie got into the car and walked back.

As soon as he walked out of the intersection, He Zhaojie poked his head out and thought of his confidant beside him, saying, "Go to the government to report the news and say that there are suspicious people here, it seems that the domineering Jiaolong Gang is rampant on the Yangtze River."

Without asking much questions, my confidant immediately turned around and ran towards the opposite government office.

After returning, he sent someone to report to the prefect of Zhenjiang, saying that there was a water village of the Jiaolong Gang on the small island of Guazhou nearby, and that the grass was cut and the roots were eradicated. From now on, the Jiaolong Gang became a thing of the past.

The most important thing is how to deal with He Zhaoyi and how to make her obediently hand over the money she took away from her father. If it is not expected, she will definitely go to the ancestral grave to bury her father and elder brother's body. At that time, she must hand over the money and she can still let her live a life. Otherwise, let her meet her brother and elder brother!

Unexpectedly, my little sister was really lucky. In Baoding Mansion, she met a general who was rescued. When she arrived in Gaoyou, she met Zhang Shicheng again. See who else can you meet when you arrived in Yangzhou!

A few cruel eyes appeared in He Zhaojie's eyes.

"Minmin, you don't have to go ashore with me. After I went to the suburbs of Yangzhou to bury my father and elder brother, we went downstream and went to Pingjiang. Pingjiang is much more prosperous and fun than Yangzhou." As the boat was about to arrive in Yangzhou, He Zhaoyi and Minmin said.

"Zhaoyi, do you still want to throw me alone on this boat?" Minmin said.

"Princess, I don't mean that." He Zhaoyi was impatient and the words "Princess" popped up.

"Everyone said don't call me princess." Minmin said, "Do you still need me to order you?"

"Yes, princess, oh, no, Minmin, this time I just went to the ancestral tomb in the wilderness, and there was nothing to do with it." He Zhaoyi said.

"I just want to go ashore to see what the wilderness is now green everywhere, with birds singing and flowers scenting." Minmin said.

He Zhaoyi had no choice but to nod.

"The two elders Xuanming, after you two get ashore later, you must protect Minmin's safety." He Zhaoyi said.

"Yes, Miss." The two elders of Xuanming replied.

What will happen after getting ashore? He Zhaoyi really doesn’t know how his second brother will deal with him? In order to get the property, the second brother should have come forward in person this time, right?

She looked at the ten masculine young men in the cabin. If there was danger in a while, they would have to rely on them.

"Captain Li, Captain Pan, if any problems arise in a while, it depends entirely on the two and all brothers." He Zhaoyi came to the cabin and said to the bodyguards sent by Zhang Yang.

Li Xingsu and Pan Mao replied: "Please rest assured Miss He, there will be no problem."

Before they came, they were already centurions, but the elder brother decided to transfer them to be the team leader and deputy of this ten-person team. The two had no objection, because the remaining team members were at least ten-person captains. Their common characteristics were that they all went to the battlefield, killed people, were agile, and responded quickly. The Tianque Gun made them as skilled as their own body. Moreover, they all trained some knowledge of how to obtain intelligence and how to convey intelligence under Adjutant Luo. To put it bluntly, they not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting He Zhaoyi and Minmin, but also were responsible for spying on the surrounding intelligence. Especially after arriving in Dadu, the development of Dadu's intelligence network fell into the hands of these ten people.

In addition to the Tianque gun, before leaving, Zhang Yang also issued two short-tube guns to each of them. This is another study Zhang Yang asked Li Bosheng to do. It has not been formally established and has not been named. The biggest feature is that it is short and concise. It can even be tucked to the waist and wrapped in a coat. It cannot be seen outside, and it is for use when performing special tasks.

Therefore, the most basic equipment of these people is two short muskets on their waists, one Tianque gun on their backs, and four heavy grenades in the grenade bag. These firepower, even if a 100-man cavalry team of Tartars came, could be completely eliminated before getting close. As for those ordinary gangsters, it is even more difficult.

Soon, the ship leaned against the shore, and He Zhaoyi and Minmin got off the ship.

After setting foot on the land of Yangzhou again, He Zhaoyi felt like she was a different life. Although it was only half a year apart, it was a change of things and people.

He hired more than a dozen laborers to lift the coffin from the boat, and He Zhaoyi led him to the ancestral tomb.

As a great man in Yangzhou, the feng shui of the He family’s ancestral tomb is also very good. Sanli slope southwest of Yangzhou is a high slope facing south and back north. At the top of the high slope, there are several century-old trees growing with lush branches and leaves. There are two small high slopes on both sides of the high slope, the green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right. On the south side of the high slope, there is gurgling water. This high slope is where the He family’s ancestral tomb is located.

A Feng Shui master once read it and said that the He family must be a nobleman of He Zhaoyi. This sentence made Mr. He very happy. However, the Feng Shui master continued to say that this nobleman would go through hardships and would kill the whole family. This sentence made Mr. He angry and ordered his servants to blow him out.

The coffin is the best nanmu, very thick. Eight people carried a coffin and walked up steadily towards Sanlipo.

Along the way, white paper fluttered, He Zhaoyi had already put on white clothes and wore Chongxiao. Although the man did these tasks, He Zhaojie refused to transport the bodies of his father and elder brother back, and the murderer was He Zhaojie. He Zhaoyi had no feelings for his second brother, so he did all this by himself.

However, she did not shed tears. The tears in her heart had already dried up after she knew that it was her second brother who did it. Instead, she was deeply hatred.

In order to get the property, the second brother could ignore family affection and do such a thing. She secretly swore that she must get the punishment she deserved! The biggest punishment was to make the He family in Yangzhou disappear from the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and to make the second brother's business bankrupt and have nothing.

"Dad, please forgive me for being late!" Suddenly, a wolf howling cry came from the ancestral grave in front of me. The crying was slowly approaching, and a man wearing filial piety came over.

Seeing the two coffins, the man ran over as if he was crazy, hugged the coffin and started crying.

"Dad, the child is unfilial, the child is one step late!"

The person carrying the coffin looked at the person coming in front of him, blocking his own path and unable to move forward.

"The one in this coffin is the eldest brother." He Zhaoyi said coldly. He Zhaojie only called him Daddy, but not the eldest brother. It can be seen that he has long stopped taking his eldest brother seriously.
Chapter completed!
