When Zhong Xiang saw Fang La coming out, he hurriedly wiped his tears, cupped his hands and said, "Zhong Xiang, see the leader."

Fang La sighed: "Brother Zhong, it seems that you have heard everything. The old leader expressed his love, and Fang La reluctantly took over the position of leader. The funeral of the old leader is all on me."

Zhong Xiang nodded and went into the house; Fang La slowly walked out and came to the courtyard. The crowd that had been talking about it suddenly became quiet.

His eyes turned to Fang La again.

Fang La didn't say much, took out the piece of sheepskin from his arms and showed it to everyone: "The old leader has passed away and gone to the world of light. Fang is not talented and has been designated as the new leader by the old leader."

These helmsmen all recognized that the piece of sheepskin was the possession of Master Zhong, and they all bowed down and said, "See you, Master!"

Among them, Wang Cang and Yu Wupo had the loudest voices, but some of them stood still unconvinced and did not pay homage to Fang La.

Fang La saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, so he didn't attack it in the first place.

Suddenly someone sternly shouted: "Master Fang! You are the new leader, does Leader Zhong have any warrants?"

All the helmsmen looked sideways and saw that the one who spoke out was Wang Zongshi, the helmsman of Raozhou. He was the oldest among the helmsmen. At this moment, he suddenly became angry and did not change his title. He was obviously very suspicious that Fang La had forged his last words.

Hearing this, all the helmsmen suddenly had a big question in their minds. Not long after Zhong Xiang called Fang La in, Leader Zhong suddenly passed away, and Zhong Xiang never showed up. Fang La only had the belongings of Leader Zhong in his hand, and nothing.

With the will, warrant and other proofs, it’s no wonder Wang Zongshi was unconvinced.

Fang La just smiled at Wang Zongshi's words and did not defend himself. On the contrary, Yu Wupo, the leader of Quzhou, sneered: "Master Wang! What do you mean by this? Why haven't you seen the sacred object in the leader's hand?"

Wang Zongshi also sneered: "Yu Wupo! It's not your turn to speak here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cang suddenly stepped out and shouted: "Wang, aren't you the oldest person in the church? What qualifications do you have to point fingers at the leader of the other party? If you have the ability, start the line, and a certain family will take over for the leader.

"

Wang Zongshi knew that Wangcang's martial arts were mediocre, and he killed him with just one punch and one kick. However, he took the opportunity to show his loyalty to Fang La. He couldn't help but laughed angrily, raised his head and said to Fang La: "Master Fang, no.

Wang is not convinced, this kind of thing can be arrogant in front of Wang..."

Fang La coughed and interrupted Wang Zongshi: "The old leader's funeral has not yet been settled. You are arguing here later. What's the point? Get out of here quickly!"

When Wang Zongshi saw Fang La's interruption, he was originally questioning Fang La, but instead he was arguing with Wang Cang and Yu Wu Po, and he was about to get angry when he raised his eyebrows. However, Zhong Xiang appeared behind Fang La, with tears on his face, and he didn't say anything to everyone.

To speak, Fang La bowed and said: "See the leader!"

When all the helmsmen saw this man, their suspicions disappeared. Even Wang Zongshi was secretly surprised: "Could it be that I have guessed it all wrong?"

Wang Cang and Yu Wupo looked a little embarrassed, and their glances made Wang Zongshi a little unbearable.

Zhong Xiang took the lead, and the other helmsmen followed suit and saluted Fang La again: "I'll wait to see the leader."

Wang Zongshi was quite surprised. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to offer his hand to Fang La as a courtesy: "I have met the leader Fang."

Fang La nodded slightly and signaled for everyone to get up: "Fang is very talented and has little knowledge, but he also swore in front of the old leader that this sect will take root in this land and flourish."

"These are all false words." Wang Zongshi shouted: "Since you are the new leader, do you have any strategy for where the Mingjiao should go?"

Fang La smiled slightly: "I'm about to discuss with Captain Wang at this time, please come with me..."

After saying that, he asked Mr. Zhong again: "Brother Zhong, is there a house here that I can borrow from someone else?"

Prime Minister Zhong nodded and said: "This house was originally the property of the Ming Cult. It is mainly used by the Ming Cult. Prime Minister Zhong will make arrangements for it now."

Fang La turned to Wang Zongshi again and spread his hands. Wang Zongshi thought to himself: "Many helmsmen here are watching. No matter how brave this Fang is, he doesn't dare to do anything to me!"

Thinking of this, Wang Zongshi shouted: "Just go!"

When the helmsmen saw Fang La, Zhong Xiang, and Wang Zongshi entering, they looked at each other, not knowing what would happen, so they had to stop and wait. Their servants brought tea and cakes to satisfy their hunger.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the three people came out again. Wang Zongshi's attitude made a 180-degree turn, and he said respectfully: "The leader is far-sighted and I admire him."

Fang La said with a smile: "Then we have to rely more on Captain Wang."

The helmsmen were quite surprised when they saw this, especially Wang Cang and Yu Wubao.

Fang La announced loudly to everyone: "Fang Mou will be responsible for the funeral affairs of the old leader. We just discussed it with Brother Zhong and buried him in Qingyuan Mountain after the first seven days."

The helmsmen suddenly realized that the old leader had passed away, and the courtyard suddenly burst into tears...

...

...

"Sanniang, here are this year's account books, please take a look at them." Liu Ma presented the accounts to Sang Sanniang for review.

To her surprise, Sang Sanniang had no intention of checking at all. She just flipped through two pages, picked out an account, asked herself a few questions, and then reached out and pushed the account aside.

"Liu Ma, on what days did Heihachiro come to Quanzhou in the past?" Sang Sanniang said with a hint of anxiety: "Is it possible that he has already come, but not to my Baihua Building?"

Liu Ma carefully smiled and said: "How is this possible... In terms of days, Heihachiro should be here too. Could there be something wrong on the way?"

"Impossible." Sang Sanniang shook her head decisively: "Heihachiro is a cautious person, and there are many experts among his guards. How could something happen?"

After a pause, Sang Sanniang said again: "Mama Liu, ask around Quanzhou City to see if anyone has seen Heihachiro."

Liu Ma agreed wholeheartedly, retreated, and ordered someone to call someone: "Is there any news about Heihachirou?"

That man was the big teapot of Baihualou. His real name was Hu. Most of the big and small things in Quanzhou could not be concealed from him. He was nicknamed "Wuzhi".

Wu Zhi thought about it for a long time, shook his head and said: "I have never heard of it, but I know that there is someone who knows the whereabouts of Heihachiro."

Liu Ma was overjoyed and said, "Why don't you go and ask soon?"

Wu Zhi raised a finger and said, "It only takes ten strings."

Liu Ma changed her expression and said: "Who wants ten thousand dollars to reveal the news? Don't try to bluff me!"

Wu Shi smiled and said: "The shopkeeper doesn't know something. This person is none other than a minor official in the shipping department of this state. He has never recognized anyone else in his life, only money. If he doesn't have ten strings, there is nothing he can do."

After saying that, Wu Zhi lifted up his legs and walked away. Liu Ma was so frightened that he stopped him and said: "Enemies, ten of them are ten, just wait here!"

When Wu Zhi heard this, he stopped and saw Liu Ma going to the cabinet at the back to take out ten pieces of jiaozi. She took it over with a smile and said, "If you have money, things can be done. The shopkeeper will wait here for half a day. The little man is here."

Ask on the side."

"This is Sang Sanniang's personal inquiry. You can't just collect money and do nothing!" Liu Ma shouted in a low voice: "If something goes wrong, be careful!"

Wu Shi smiled and said: "What else do you have to worry about when a villain is doing things?"

Only then did Liu Ma feel relieved. She said goodbye to Liu Ma and went to change her clothes. Instead of going to the Shipping Department, she went to Puji Bank on the street in front to break the ten-guan hand and the eight-guan hand.

He stuffed the envelope into his arms and hid it carefully. He only put two consistent envelopes into his sleeves and came to the shipbuilding department with a murmur.

The Shipping Department is in charge of trade matters, and merchants' transactions must be registered and taxed here. The petty official I know is actually a minor official who keeps accounts, so I know some information.

Wu Zhi spent some copper coins and asked his disciples to call the subordinate to come out and drink tea at the tea shop opposite.

After waiting for a while, the subordinate came out of the Shipbuilding Department, sat down opposite Wu Zhi, and complained: "We are busy today, what big thing do you have to call me out?"

Without saying a word, Wu Zhi put his sleeves on the table. When he took them away, he saw two identical jiaozi. The subordinate immediately changed his face, smiled broadly, and hurriedly stuffed the two jiaozi into his arms.

, coughed.

"What do you want to ask me?"

After Wu Zhi told the story, the subordinate was surprised and couldn't help scratching his head: "In this world, only businessmen go to Baihualou to look for bitches, and I have never heard of Baihualou bitches coming to look for businessmen..."

I do have some influence on Heihachiro, but it shouldn't be because he owes a lot of money to prostitutes?"

"Brother is joking. Heihachiro has always been generous, how could such a thing happen?" Wu Zhi said with a smile: "This matter is not asked by my shopkeeper, but the big shopkeeper who came from Tokyo is looking for this person. As for the reason?

...Brother, I don’t know either.”

The subordinate official then said: "You wait here, I will go in and ask if Heihachiro is a merchant from Japan. If he has registered with the Quanzhou Shipbuilding Department this year, we will know." As he said this, he gathered the two plates of tea on the table in his sleeves.

went.

Wu Zhi had a pot of tea and waited for an hour before he saw the subordinate official come out and said: "It's strange, Heihachiro has been registered in previous years, but he has not been to Quanzhou this year, but there is registration in Mingzhou, and there is no such thing."

I haven’t returned to Japan yet, so I should still be in Mingzhou now.”

Thank you very much, I said goodbye to the subordinate, and went back to talk to Liu Ma.

When Liu Ma got the news, she was determined and came to knock on the door of Sang Sanniang's room to inform him of Heihachiro's whereabouts.

Sang Sanniang confirmed it again and again, and when Liu Ma insisted, she had no choice but to believe her. She originally thought of rushing to Quanzhou and Heping Balang to discuss the free "source of goods" from Japan, but she didn't expect it, but she rushed to the empty space and secretly said angrily: "Baba!

We traveled thousands of miles from Bianliang to Quanzhou, but we were in Mingzhou! If I had known better, I might as well have gone to Mingzhou and saved some distance!"

Liu Ma saw an angry look on Sang Sanniang's face. She wondered if she had done something wrong and made the big shopkeeper unhappy, so she hurriedly lowered her head. After a long time, she heard Sang Sanniang sigh: "Liu Ma, prepare it for me tomorrow."

Car and sedan, go to Mingzhou!"

Liu Ma was startled and thought to herself: "What good does Heihachiro do? Is it possible for Sang Sanniang to chase him here and there? Can't he stop?" But she didn't dare to ask Sang Sanniang, so she just agreed.

Ximen Qing, who is far away in Bianliang, has no way of knowing these actions of Sang Sanniang. Even if he knows, he can only let it go because the opening ceremony of Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace will soon be held. After Ximen Qing got the news from King Zhao Kai
