The bandits live by the mountain, so the villages are all on the mountain; the boat gangs make a living by the water, so the halls are mostly by the water.

The mountain village was built on a steep mountain to avoid encirclement and suppression by the official army, while the boat gang entrance was built on the water to guard the guys who were having food.

These days, there seem to be not many boat gangs, and the docks and ports are enough, but those good harbors that are not silted all year round and do not dry up over the years are still very attractive to people.

What's more, people's hearts are sinister. Even if the jealous people cannot take away the port, they cannot do the things of chiseling the bottom of the ship and burning the dock.

Furthermore, as the transportation industry, what the ship gang does is to move goods.

The entrance is closer to the dock, so you can make less trouble in and out of goods, which can reduce the loss by at least one or two percent.

Over the years, Shunfeng Hall has been smooth sailing and has even become the largest ship gang in Fuzhou, but the main hall is still standing by the Wulong River.

Moreover, even though there are branches in Fuzhou City and the branches are luxurious and grand, the major officials are busy at the dock during the day.

From this we can see that the century-long inheritance of Shunfengtang is definitely not a coincidence.

It was already late at night, but the Shunfengtang main steward is still brightly lit.

Countless men and women came in and out, brought in benches and tables of Eight Immortals, arranged them one by one, and then went to do other things.

There were also some women in the busy crowd, who were the families of the Shunfengtang Gang.

The old master of the hall has been in charge of the hall for more than 20 years. During this period, he was fair and fair in his work. He treated the gang like brothers. Everyone saw it and remembered it in their hearts, and all remembered his good deeds.

Now the hall is mainly washing hands, and anyone who has been moved in the gang is willing to help him retreat to the world with glory.

After all, I have received favors and can't help much, so this may be the last chance to repay my kindness.

Everyone was busy, but their expressions were different.

Some people smile, but they often show a hint of reluctance.

Some people seem to be happy, but there is a bit of sorrow between their eyebrows and eyes.

Some people pretend to sigh, but they also reveal a little excitement.

Juyi Hall.

Liu Zhengfeng sat in the first place and said something to the man who was trying to attack with a booklet.

The man had a clear face, three long beards under his jaw, and was wearing a shirt with a somewhat bookish look. He was the deputy head of Shunfeng Hall and the successor selected by Liu Zhengfeng.

At this moment, a strong man walked into the hall, hugged the two of them, and quickly said, "Master, deputy master, it's not good, someone is causing trouble outside the warehouse!"

Before Liu Zhengfeng could speak, Deputy Master Tian spoke first.

"Will you guys not get the waste back?"

He slapped the coffee table and angrily shouted: "My Shunfeng Hall is the first gang in Fuzhou. Even Lord Zhou wants to give face to the master. Why are these cats and dogs doing?"

The man was scolded and his face suddenly turned red and white. He thought to himself that the old master was really out of his mind and actually chose such a guy...

However, the situation is urgent now, and it is not a time to think about it. So I suppressed my disgust and suppressed my stomach full of fire.

He didn't go to see the deputy hall master, but instead explained to Liu Zhengfeng: "The master, these people call themselves the Thirteenth Grand Guard of Songshan, and they also took the Dongchang driving letter, saying that they wanted us to open the warehouse and let them search for the fugitives.

The brothers were so angry that they wanted to fight with them, but their subordinates heard that Zuo Lengchan was extremely protective of his shortcomings and were worried that they would take revenge later, so they did not dare to let the brothers take action."

"Songshan School?"

Hearing these three words, Deputy Lord Tian’s face suddenly changed and he didn’t dare to say anything else.

Liu Zhengfeng didn't say much, but gently put down the booklet in his hand and nodded with relief.

He stood up and glanced at the man, who immediately wanted to lead the way.

Then he heard Liu Zhengfeng say, "Zuo Lengchan is sinister and vicious, and he will retaliate. After surrendering to the Dongchang, he acted even more unscrupulously.

Damao, you are doing a good job. We are business people. Let us get three points when we get along with others. We must put the four words "harmony is the most important" first.

Although you are so brave and fierce, you are happy, but you win once or twice, so what if you win ten or eight times? If you can't beat him head-on, can't you use any means?

We make a living by shipping goods. As long as there is a problem with the goods, our future business will be affected. Everyone is a family member. When it comes to that point, what can we use to support the whole family?"

Deputy Lord Tian walked at the end, and his face turned pale when he heard these words.

He sniped his teeth and looked at the two people in front of him in a gloomy manner, holding a grudge between them.

Liu Zhengfeng knew nothing about this.

Halfway through his speech, he paused, looked back at Deputy Lord Tian, ​​and said earnestly: "Brother Tian, ​​I know you hate evil and you are the most unsightly to see those who are greedy.

But from tomorrow onwards, you have to remember your identity. The lives of thousands of brothers in our hall are all held in your hands. You can’t be so impulsive when doing things.”

Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng had saved face for him, Tian Patangtang finally improved a little and immediately climbed down the ladder.

He said with a shame: "I will remember the teachings of the church leader in my heart. In the future, I will think carefully and be cautious in my words and actions."

Liu Zhengfeng did not comment on it and did not take this small mistake from Deputy Hall Master Tian.

People need to experience to grow. It is not possible to get by simply sitting in the position of the hall master.

What he cares most about now is actually those from the Songshan School.

These people are unknown and have a Dongchang driver's letter in hand. If they just hold chicken feathers as command arrows, it would be fine if they want to blackmail some benefits, but if it is for another purpose, it would be a bit troublesome.

Shunfengtang is so big, so naturally they will not rely solely on the business of the Ming Dynasty and the South China Ryukyu Japan. They have not done it before.

There was no problem in the past because I had a good relationship with Lord Zhou and made the local government worry-free money and food.

Now that I retire to the world, my relationship with Lord Zhou will inevitably become more distant, and perhaps some people want to reach out...

If it weren't for these two situations, the problem would probably be even more troublesome. After all, there was a person from the Sun and Moon Sect hidden in the boat on the Wulong Pier.

Thinking of the Sun and Moon Sect, Liu Zhengfeng frowned—

Although Qu Yang is an elder in the sect, he has not been in the world for many years, so he should not have such a reputation, right?

Furthermore, although the Sun and Moon God Sect has indeed been restless in recent years and has done some violations of discipline, Qu Yang has never made any progress.

Even if the court wants to attack the Sun and Moon God Sect, it will not be dispatched to the Dongchang Mansion?

Liu Zhengfeng pondered it carefully and always felt that something was strange tonight.

After not thinking about the reason for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Da Mao, those people said they were searching for fugitives, but who were they looking for?"

He scratched his head at the man named Damao: "Master, those people said that the Jinyiwei Baihu Lin Zhennan had retired and returned home, but were killed by the devil of the Sun and Moon God Sect. They were here to search for the murderer..."

"It's really related to the Sun and Moon God Cult?"
