In the next few days, Ma Mingyuan led Chen Zilong to several scenic spots in Wuchang and met with many friends and celebrities in Wuchang. He also went to the brothel twice and invited Feng Ziyong and Zhu Hongsan to go with him. Of course, Feng Ziyong, who was shameless, went there. But Zhu Hongsan, a little shameless, really didn't dare to go.

Chen Zilong also asked him why he didn't go, and Zhu Hongsan blushed and said, "I have a fierce wife at home, so I really don't dare to go."

Feng Ziyong smiled and said the scandal of Zhu Hongsan* being chased into the toilet by Ma Xiaofang in the brothel. Everyone laughed. Chen Zilong said, "Since the mistress wants to accompany his wife at home, let's go." After that, the three of them laughed and left.

Zhu Hongsan was so angry that his teeth were itchy. When he got home, he felt a little relieved after two blows in Ma Xiaofang's mouth. Ma Xiaofang felt nauseous.

Chen Zilong stayed in Wuchang for ten days and left. After all, he is still a juren, so he still has to be honest and fame. After Zhu Hongsan went to see him off, he went to Shi Wei Tian with Ma Mingyuan and Feng Ziyi. Shi Wei Tian has returned to Zhu Hongsan since the entire Guo family died.

In addition, Zhu Hongsan lent Zhu Hongyi and twenty non-commissioned students to Qian Lide half a year ago to unify the underground forces of Wuchang County. Zhu Hongyi's killing caused bloody storms in the county, and ten or eight people died every day. Feng Ziyong sent someone to pass on messages to Zhu Hongsan not make too much trouble. After half a month of cleaning, more than 20 people in the Hualiu Gang on Hua Street in Nancheng died (Zhu Hongsan really had a grudge against the brothel). The coolie in Xicheng was frightened, and the gang leader took his people out of the county and gave him three thousand taels of silver to express his surrender. Since then, Zhu Hongsan has completely become the underground emperor of the county.

The three of them arrived at the gate of Shiweitian. The shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet him. The shopkeeper was still the same shopkeeper. Zhu Hongsan saw that he was doing his best to take care of him, so he didn't change him.

When I saw my boss coming, I immediately brought someone to greet him. I respectfully sent him to the second floor and went down to prepare wine and food without mentioning it.

Ma Mingyuan asked: "Isn't this the Guo family's property? Why did he become a mistress?"

Feng Ziyong said on the side: "Ask your good brother-in-law, he killed the entire Guo family. He also took your niece Ma Ruyan as his concubine, and now he has children."

Zhu Hongsan's face turned red. After all, this was not a glorious thing. He squirted at Feng Ziyong and said, "Second cousin's love and love, aren't you interested in soy sauce Xishi? If it weren't for me, you two, could have sex with each other? You should thank me."

Ma Mingyuan didn't understand what soy sauce Xi Shi and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhu Hongsan rushed to answer: "Where did Zhu Youcai know before you left? That soy sauce Xishi is Zhu Youcai's daughter. Your second cousin took a fancy to others. He felt that he was not easy to do, so he begged me to make him a good thing. I found out that the day the mine got married and invited Soy sauce Xishi to sing, so I brought someone to grab it back. But the matter was exposed, and I was afraid that the mines would never end, so I killed all their families for the sake of my second cousin's reputation. He also rescued Ma Ruyan. Ruyan was impressed by my young heroic aura and cried and shouted to marry me. There was no way, her husband's whole family was dead, so I couldn't throw her there, so I took her home to get married."

Zhu Hongsan was so angry that Feng Ziyeng jumped into the black and white words, saying, "Zhu Zi, is the thing you said? You killed his whole family because you had conflicts with Guo Huaiyi and saved Wan'er."

When Ma Mingyuan saw the two brothers verbally, he sighed and thought: "This Zhu Hongsan is also cruel and ruthless. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to rely on him."

After this, Ma Mingyuan had no choice but to do anything. What else could Ma Ruyan do when she was pregnant? She could only admit the fait accompli.

Ma Mingyuan didn't want to involve too much in this matter, interrupting the dispute between the two and said, "Okay, both of you. If you do this, don't ruin the brotherhood. Let's talk about our experiences for more than half a year."

At this time, the food and drinks came up. Zhu Hongsan sent the clerk out to close the door, and served the two of them with wine, saying, "Please tell me the second brother Mingyuan first."

Ma Mingyuan took a sip of wine and said, "This time I walked thousands of miles and saw a lot. Nanzhili was basically helpless. When Fengyang was broken, some people in Nanzhili thought of the first thing they thought was to tell the city not to go. In the end, the bandits did not have the ability to cross the Yangtze River and they did not escape."

Ma Mingyuan sighed and continued, "But there are also people with knowledge who say they want to live and die with the city. Brother among the people is one. I recognized him at that time. There are also a few friends. Yes, Hou Fangyu is also good, not as incompetent as you said by mistress. The other three, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Pijiang were all shiny for a while."

When Zhu Hongsan heard Mao Pijiang, he asked quickly: "Have you seen Dong Xiaowan?"

Feng Ziyong drank: "Listen to your second brother carefully, what's the point of making a difference?"

Ma Mingyuan smiled and said, "Of course I've seen it, I'm really talented and beautiful. I heard that Dong Xiaowan is interested in Mao Pijiang. Now I should be married."

Ma Mingyuan continued: "I have a good relationship with the four of them, and I believe they should be our help in the future."

Zhu Hongsan said: "They can do it. They are not as good as their second brother in planning, and they are not as good as their second cousin. It's almost the same as being a messenger. What's the matter for them to do? Keep them doing bad things."

Feng Ziyong heard Zhu Hongsan praise him for the first time, and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that the mistress was still my confidant."

Zhu Hongsan said: "You are better than them. After all, you have been a local official for several years. If you are not as good as them, you might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill him."

Feng Ziyong rarely cultivated a little bit of affection for Zhu Hongsan, and he snorted and turned his head to ignore him.

Ma Mingyuan smiled and said, "Second cousin, don't listen to the mistress say this. He actually admires you very much."

When Feng Ziyong heard Ma Mingyuan say this, he looked better.

Zhu Hongsan continued, "Second brother, have you gone to see Ruan Dacheng?"

When Feng Ziyong heard about the eunuch party, his family suffered a great loss in the eunuch party. He hurriedly asked, "Didn't Ruan Dacheng never be used? What do you do when you see him?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "Do you know if you burn the cold stove? What if they work in the future?"

Ma Mingyuan said, "I saw him, Ruan Dacheng is doing a little miserable now. When I went there, I heard that his family had been burned by the people from Fushe. Ruan Dacheng's beard was burned and he almost died in the fire. Seeing me going to see him Ruan Dacheng was very enthusiastic and didn't even ask for money. When I left, I gave me 1,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Now in this society, there are no timely helpers, and there are a lot of shit. This is great. At this time, I will be more effective than giving tens of thousands of taels of silver in the future."

Feng Ziyong looked down on Zhu Hongsan's power and asked, "Mingyuan, will you go to Guangdong in the future? How about it? It's okay there."

Ma Mingyuan said: "Guangdong is not as large as Nanzhili. The population is mainly near Guangzhou Prefecture. If we want to develop, we should find a piece of land near Guangzhou Prefecture. I found that it is good next to Nanhaiwei, not far from Guangdong Prefecture, and is located at the estuary of the Pearl River. It has convenient transportation and flat land."

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "It can be used as a place to consider. You need to go and see what to do."

Ma Mingyuan said, "I've finished talking about my situation, let's talk about you."

Feng Ziyong said, "Let him say it, it's all he is doing it."

Zhu Hongsan drank a sip of wine and ran the throat and said, "My second brother has grown to a population of 2,000 in the past six months. Among them, 900 militias are being trained. I think it will be almost done in a few months. Steel has opened up sales. We currently purchase mainly in Nanzhili, and iron ore and coal are cheap. In addition, there is water transportation in the Yangtze River, which is very convenient. The finished products are mainly knives, guns and iron armor. Currently, Ma Youfu is responsible for the sales of Henan, and can be sold to Shandong and Shanxi. Due to the years of war in the north, various places have to pay tribute to each other.

Weapon demand is very large, basically everything is needed. A horizontal knife has now increased to 50 taels of silver. You know that our cost is less than 1 tael, which is really a huge profit. I heard from Ma Youfu that if we go to Shanxi, we can buy 100 taels. But it is too far away, our team is not strong enough and we can only go to Henan. But in this way, Ma Youfu and his friends can get back 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver once. Now we have 100,000 taels of silver. I am afraid that we can't digest it, or even ten thousand militaries can be pulled out."

Ma Mingyuan said: "It is not appropriate to expand its strength at present, after all, Huguang is still peaceful at present."

Then Ma Mingyuan asked Feng Ziyong: "Second cousin, how is the official side?"

Feng Ziyong said, "The news came was not good. After Zhang Xianzhong and his friends broke Fengyang a few years ago, they captured Anqing along the Yangtze River. I heard that the whole city was slaughtered. I originally thought that they could cross the river to Wuchang. At that time, the whole city of Wuchang had been martial law. But I didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhong did not cross the river, and it might be that there were not enough ships. So I went up the river and entered Henan, and I heard that I was heading to Shaanxi. There was also a report from the mansion yesterday that the leader of the bandits Gao Yingxiang was beaten to death by the governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting. I don't know whether this is true or not. If it is true, it should be a fatal blow to the bandits."

Zhu Hongsan thought to himself: "Gao Yingxiang is dead. If you don't know, you release a more powerful Li Zicheng. This is the killing star that kills you." But Zhu Hongsan thought about it in his heart and did not say it, because after all, Li Zicheng is just an ordinary general under Gao Yingxiang, and no one believes it if he says it. It will be fine to see the future development.

Feng Ziyong continued: "Mingyuan, the imperial examination will be held again in April next year. What are you going to do this time?"

Ma Mingyuan said, "I want to try it."

Zhu Hongsan was anxious. Now he was just someone who could believe it and was not at home every few days. This was to exhaust me.

When Ma Mingyuan saw Zhu Hongsan talking, he waved his hand first and said, "Don't say mistress, I know what you are going to say. But I have studied for so many years and have taken the exam three times. I am not willing to give up. I am twenty-six years old this year, and I must prove that I am not the juren who passed the exam by relying solemnity before."

Zhu Hongsan sighed and thought to himself: "Ma Mingyuan still has an imperial examination. That's right, I've been working hard for the imperial examination all my life. How can I be content if I don't take the exam?" Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan stopped talking.

Feng Ziyong hoped that Ma Mingyuan would try it, because passing the exam is a big event for a person for a lifetime. Feng Ziyong asked: "When will Mingyuan leave?"

"It's probably all that we'll leave after the New Year. Now the north is not stable, and we're afraid that the road will be delayed, so try to go as early as possible."

Zhu Hongsan said, "Then let's leave after the fifteenth. We will hold a banquet to bid for the second brother's list."

Ma Mingyuan laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

After the big news, the three of them started drinking and eating vegetables, and talked about some interesting things that have happened in the past six months.
