Chapter 185 The Hong Family
After Ye Xinghe negotiated with the uncle, he returned to the previous restaurant. After roughly describing his plan to everyone, Luan Yue frowned slightly and said, "Xinghe, can you be sure that that is your sister?"
Ye Xinghe shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but since the names are the same, I have to go and see how to feel at ease. And when my sister and I ran away, my sister was heading all the way towards Fengming Bay. If she
Also went to sea..."
Su Simiao nodded and said, "You really should go take a look. Don't worry, kid, we will take care of things here."
Luan Yue also responded, "Well, the matters here cannot be solved overnight!"
Ye Xinghe smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the emerald dragon and phoenix wall that the boss mentioned doesn't sound that easy to find, right?"
Luan Yue pondered for a moment and then said, "The boss lost such a valuable item, and it took two days. He must have sent many people to search for it in the past two days. Judging from the fact that nothing has been found so far, this thing
, it’s useless to look for it using ordinary methods.”
Ye Xinghe heard this and asked, "What Aunt Luan means is that there is any good way?"
Luan Yue smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Such a precious thing must not have been done by one person. There must be deeper forces behind it. The underworld in Shahui Hong Kong is all controlled by the Hong family, and this Hong family is us."
One of the purposes of this trip, I think the head of the Hong family has something to do with it!"
Ye Xinghe felt happy when he heard this, and then Luan Yue's opinion was unanimously affirmed. Several people followed Luan Yue's footsteps and walked out of the restaurant and walked along the street. After a while, Luan Yue's footsteps stopped in front of a teahouse.
Ye Xinghe looked at the teahouse on the roadside with confusion and asked, "Um~ Aunt Luan, is the Hong family in this teahouse?"
Luan Yue nodded and said, "That's right, let's go in." After saying that, Luan Yue led everyone into the tea house. When the waiter saw this group of people coming in, he hurriedly came over and said, "Hey, how many of you are here?"
Where do you want to sit? We can all sit in the private lobby!"
Luan Yue shook her head slightly and said, "The grand plan unfolds in the night, and the dark clouds cover the stars." After speaking, Luan Yue took off the towel from the waiter's left shoulder and hung it on his left hand.
The waiter was shocked when he saw this, and said in a low voice, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report to the owner of the house." After saying that, the waiter turned around and ran towards the backyard of the teahouse.
After a while, the waiter hurried back, bowed deeply to Luan Yue and said in a low voice, "Hello, distinguished guest, the master of the house would like to have a chat with you in the house." After saying that, the waiter made a gesture of invitation and said in a low voice.
After Luan Yue nodded, the waiter turned forward
As he walked away, everyone hurriedly followed.
Following the waiter all the way to the backyard, he walked forward along the path, and then after passing through several secret doors, an antique mansion came into view. The house was full of peach trees.
The delicate peach blossoms were swaying in the wind. The waiter came to the door of the house, slowly pushed the door open and said, "Please invite me, the master of the house is inside!"
Luan Yue and the others nodded and walked into the house. After entering, a beautifully carved wooden screen came into view. A strong male voice came from behind the screen, "If I guessed correctly, it should be
It must be Lord Luanzhou who is here, and the purpose of Lord Luanzhou’s visit is to ask me, Mr. Hong, for someone to borrow!”
Hearing this, Luan Yue led everyone across the screen. Behind the screen, there was a huge jade tea table. A middle-aged man with a gentle face was sitting in front of the tea table, taking his time to look at the people coming, as if he didn't expect the person.
So many, the middle-aged man looked slightly surprised, looked at Luan Yue and said, "Oh? Lord Luan Zhou has quite a few friends!"
The middle-aged man waved for everyone to sit down and then said, "Won't Lord Luanzhou give me an introduction?"
After hearing this, Luan Yue introduced to everyone, "This is the head of the Hong family, Hong Yuan. Head of the Hong family, these people around me..."
After Luan Yue introduced the two parties to each other, Hong Yuan said, "Lord Luanzhou, I don't know why you are here this time. Wait, let me guess! Mu Ri City fell, and the elders of the Luan family have exhausted all their offerings.
I am afraid that Lord Luan Zhou is not willing to accept the murderous attack and wants to recruit people to regain the lost territory!"
Luan Yue laughed when she heard this and said, "The Hong family master is really well-informed and knows everything about the world!"
Hong Yuan smiled slightly and said modestly, "Lord Luanzhou made a strong statement. I only know a little about Muzhou! So, the purpose of Lord Luanzhou's trip is indeed not what I expected?"
Luan Yue nodded first, then shook her head, and said under Hong Yuan's puzzled gaze, "What the Hong family leader said is indeed one of the purposes of my trip, but I actually have a second purpose for coming here."
Hong Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Oh? I wonder what else Lord Luanzhou has to do?"
Luan Yue first pointed at Ye Xinghe, and then said, "As a descendant, I want to go to the Sha Kingdom, but unfortunately the only ship in the Sha Kingdom has no intention of setting sail. The reason is that a valuable item in its cargo was lost."
Yes, I think the Hong family has deep roots in Shahui Hong Kong, so such a trivial matter should not escape the Hong family's eyes, right?"
Hong Yuan glanced at Ye Xinghe and said, "Oh? It turns out that Lord Luanzhou wants to get back the jade dragon and phoenix wall for someone else!"
"Sure enough, Hong Yuan knows the whereabouts of the emerald dragon and phoenix wall! Hong Yuan finished half of his words, then reached out and tapped his chin, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Hong Yuan said, "This friend of Lord Luanzhou wants to go to Sha Kingdom. I can send him off. Our Hong family's merchant ship will be back in half a month. As for the things..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luan Yue interrupted and said, "Master Hong, we can't afford to wait for half a month. In my impression, Master Hong is not a money-grubbing person. Why now?"
The head of the Hong family looked a little embarrassed when he heard this. He opened his mouth several times but hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Luan Yue frowned slightly and said, "The head of the Hong family seems to have something to hide?"
Hong Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "Well, it's okay to tell you. Lord Luanzhou doesn't know something. Hong has a son, his only son. However, a year ago, the son was bitten by a sea snake when he went to sea to play, and he was seriously injured.
After being struck by a strange poison and unable to recover from the illness, and when Hong was in a state of panic and panic, there was no way out, and a medicine man passed by this sand and returned to Hong Kong."
Speaking of this, Hong Yuan sighed again before continuing, "The pharmacist is really capable. He controlled the child's condition with just two doses of medicine. Then the pharmacist said that the child was too deeply poisoned, and the poison he was exposed to was too deep in the world."
It is rare. If you want to eradicate it, you need to make careful adjustments and slow maintenance. This delay lasts for a year. The medicinal materials that the pharmacist asks for every time are all rare treasures. In addition, he also asks me for a high amount of money every month.
The banknotes and my Hong family’s wealth are almost gone!”
Luan Yue heard this and said doubtfully, "Master Hong, can you tolerate this? This is not like the character of Master Hong!"
Hong Yuan shook his head and said, "What can I do? I also tried to ignore the pharmacist. However, within three days, the child's condition would rapidly worsen. Hong was forced to have no choice!"
Everyone shook their heads after hearing this, feeling some sympathy for Hong Yuan. At this time, Su Simiao suddenly said, "Master Hong, please ask. I want to ask, what kind of strange poison is in Master Hong's child? Has Master Hong ever asked?"
Hong Yuan thought for a while and then said, "Don't tell me, I actually asked you this. I remember the pharmacist once told me what the name of this poison is Qinglin Bicai."
Su Simiao became happy after hearing this. Hong Yuan was a little confused and said, "Sir, what does this mean? Could it be that you know this poison?"
Su Simiao looked at Hong Yuan and said, "Master Hong, I do know Qinglin Bicai, but this poison is slightly different from what Master Hong said. First of all, there is almost no cure for this poison. The reason is not that the method of detoxification is complicated.
