OBS Chapter 633 New Iron Hand Group
Chapter 633 New Iron Hand Group
Yangzhou.
Yangzhou, which experienced the Han Canal boat capsizing incident, welcomed officials appointed by the imperial court more than a month later.
Some of these officials were young and some were old. They were all gentlemen who had passed the imperial examination this year. As Yangzhou lacked bureaucrats, Emperor Wu Zetian assigned the successful students here.
Although these officials did not have much ability, they were prepared to learn humbly. They wanted to use Yangzhou as a stepping stone and climb up step by step after governing Yangzhou well.
A total of six official ships arrived and docked one by one.
The newly appointed Yangzhou governor and former Yangzhou Sima Gao Fu was smiling so much that his mouth almost reached his ears.
He brought a dozen officials and also mobilized county government servants to come out to greet them.
Zhang Jianzhi came in dusty and said to Gao Fu: "I will leave all these people to you."
"These people are all treasures of the court. If anything happens to one of them, the court will hold you accountable!"
Gao Fu knew that the old man in front of him was Zhang Jianzhi from the Menxia Province, and he bowed deeply immediately.
"Lord Zhang, I will do my best to ensure their well-being in Yangzhou."
"When Yangzhou is restored to its former state, it will be returned in its original state."
Zhang Jianzhi nodded, and then ordered the military leaders of Qianniu Guard to protect the officials down.
At a tea stall in the distance, four people were keeping a close eye on the situation at the ferry.
These people were none other than the new leader of the Iron Hand Group, Long Feng, the first hall leader, Yun Gu, the second hall leader, Chen Yiqu, and Yuan Che, the son of Yuan Ying Wang Yuanqi.
More than a month ago, the Yangzhou Han Canal boat capsizing case was solved, and all the officials involved in the case were beheaded. As the main culprit, Prince Ying Yuanqi naturally could not escape the confiscation of his property and the extermination of his clan.
Unexpectedly, the court did not find out the specific whereabouts of Lady Ying and Prince Ying, so they had to give up and only issued a wanted order.
Because of this matter, Yuan Che has been staying in Wohu Manor these days and dares not go out.
Today, Long Feng heard that court officials were coming, so he brought Yuan Che out in the afternoon to see them, just to relax.
Yuan Che leaned his hands on the pergola and looked at the official ship, feeling extremely sad.
"When the official ship docked last time, my family was still safe and sound, but now I am separated from my father."
Long Feng looked calmly in the direction of Zhang Jianzhi and said:
"Don't worry, sooner or later, we will get back what belongs to us!"
"You must train hard and provide money to the Iron Hand Group. You will become the leader sooner or later, so don't slack off, Xiao Che."
Yuan Che nodded heavily, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes again.
Yes, although he lost his father and his uncles Hu Yun and Bao Chong who loved him, he still has his cousin Long Feng.
He also has two loyal ministers and generals, Yun Gu and Chen Yiqu!
He believed that Yuan Che was a genius and would be able to restore the Iron Hand Group to its former glory!
Long Feng said with satisfaction: "Very good, seeing that you still have full confidence now, I am relieved."
"These days, the elders of the Yuan family have been putting pressure on Madam. Although Madam has withstood the pressure, she is a woman after all."
“Xiao Che, you must grow up quickly and stand on the same level as Madam to stand up to these elders. Otherwise, the Iron Hand Group that the Sect Master has worked so hard to build will fall into their hands.”
Yuan Che nodded, but his back was not as straight as before.
As a descendant of Yuan Buji, Yuan Che is still very clear about the past of the Yuan family and the relationship between his own family and other families in the Yuan family.
Take the Iron Hand Group for example. In the eyes of most Yuan family members, it is an extension of the Wubi Fortress.
And Yuan Qi, who re-established the Iron Hand Group, was able to become His Royal Highness Prince Ying of the Great Zhou thanks to the power of the Yuan family.
Therefore, when Yuan Qi was still alive, the elders of the Yuan family asked Yuan Qi several times to return the Iron Hand Group to the Yuan family and have the elders send someone to take charge of it.
However, Yuan Qi's martial arts were so superb that he managed to intimidate the elders of the Yuan family with just a machete and kept the Iron Hand Group firmly under his control.
Now that Yuan Qi is dead, Yuan Qu and Yuan Che have nowhere to go, so the Iron Hand Group naturally should not be led by Mu Zi and the others.
Fortunately, before Yuan Qi died, he ordered Long Feng to be the clan leader. The elders of Long Feng's military power had known about it for a long time, so they naturally did not dare to put pressure on Long Feng, so they had to find Yuan Qu, the former wife of King Ying.
Long Feng was very angry about this and had been looking for an opportunity to teach these elders a lesson so as to facilitate the completion of Li Cunxi's plan in the future.
"Well, it's time for us to go back. I heard that the elders are going to put pressure on my sister-in-law again today."
"Although I am not a member of your Yuan family, you call me your father after all, and I also regard you as my most outstanding junior. My sister-in-law treats me well, and the sect master was as close to me as a brother when he was alive."
"At this point, these elders have gone so far, I, Long Feng, should not sit idly by and watch."
"Xiao Che, just watch today and see how I make these elders shut their stinky mouths!"
Long Feng was full of energy. He stood up, holding the scabbard of the Iron Immortal Sword, and strode out of the tea stall.
Chen Yiqu dropped a few copper coins and followed with Yuan Che.
Yun Gu secretly said in her heart that the senior brother really put on a good show, and then followed Chen Yiqu and Yuan Che.
A group of four came to a tea stall outside Yangzhou City, called a few subordinates, and everyone mounted their horses and headed straight for Wohu Manor.
Ever since the Han Canal boat capsizing incident, the remnants of the Iron Hand Group have been hiding in Wohu Village and Tiexian Temple.
Long Feng travels back and forth between the two places every day, but he doesn't feel tired.
As for the original people in Wohu Manor, under the threat of Yun Gu's military force, they have turned from evil to good, and are now doing some small business in Yangzhou City and doing odd jobs for Tao Gan, the manager of Xize Silver Bank.
Hongtong Bank, which used to run on equal footing with Xize Bank, was investigated after the Han Canal boat capsizing incident. As a result, Xize Bank became the most powerful bank for a time and officially monopolized the money business in Yangzhou City.
After losing Hongtong Shop, the lives of the remaining members of the Iron Hand Group became increasingly difficult.
Not long after, nine people and nine riders arrived outside Crouching Tiger Manor.
The Iron Hand killer on duty saw the people coming on the gate tower and immediately ordered others to open the gate of Wohu Manor and welcome Long Feng and others into the manor.
When Long Feng stepped into Wohu Manor, he suddenly found several unfamiliar faces in cloth clothes, so he looked at one of the sect leader's personal guards sitting to the side.
"Have the elders of the Yuan family brought people here?"
The sect leader's personal guard was a former member of Long Feng's sect. Seeing his sect leader asking questions, he nodded his head again and again.
"That's right. These new faces were brought here by the Yuan family elders."
"They have been here for half an hour and have been talking to the lady in the main hall."
"only……"
The sect leader's personal guard didn't look very happy.
"It's just that they seemed to be arguing about something. As for what they said, I don't know."
Long Feng was well aware of the fickleness of human nature, and this was not the first time this had happened, so he naturally knew what was going on.
He smiled coldly and said, "Control these strangers. I will go meet the elders."
