Chapter 6 instructs Yan Zhendong to clean up the entrance
The members of the gang said: "Rest assured, leader, I will send someone to find Yan Zhendong right away"
Huang Feihong said with a smile: "Yan Zhi, if you are looking to hire someone, I actually have a person to recommend to you. A Rong wants to sell pork, A Su has a job, and Thirteen Aunt wants to help me take care of patients, but Yun Kai has nothing to do. Moreover, he lacks the talent for medicine, and I have been troubled by his situation. If you don't mind, let Yun Kai come to your shop to help out."
A loud shout was heard
The three river bandits were immediately enraged upon seeing Chen Yanzhi's utter disregard for them
Teach him a lesson
Chen Yanzhi was taken to the prison and locked up with three notorious bandits. It was evident that someone intended to use these bandits to teach Chen Yanzhi a severe lesson.
... ...
En? Chen Yanzhi was taken aback, "So it turns out you practice hard qigong"
Huang Feihong's significant fame and prestige in Guangdong, to the extent that both the governor and the military commander must show him respect, is not without reason
A burly man with a face full of flesh let out a loud shout
Returning to Baozhilin, Chen Yanzhi expressed his gratitude once again
Chen Yanzhi said: "After having a late-night snack, I will cook a few more bowls of noodles for you to take back to Master Huang and Aunt Thirteen."
Chen Yanzhi smiled and said: "Not at all, not at all. Ling Yunkai is also a well-known figure in the martial arts community of Foshan, and his skills are formidable. Having such a master come to my shop to help is something I welcome with open arms, how could I possibly be dismissive?"
... ...
It is not surprising that Lin Shirong, as a disciple of Huang Feihong, can only make a living by selling pork
The leader of the Shahe Gang had a sinister expression: "Of course, Chen Yanzhi will not let this opportunity slip by. Was he not expelled from the sect by Yan Zhendong? Let us have Yan Zhendong take care of the situation."
The man with a face full of flesh and a fierce expression said: "Kid, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless at such a young age. Today, I will kill you to avenge Er and San."
Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Yanzhi will not choose the path of a desperate escape. Fortunately, with the assistance of Huang Feihong, entering the government office will surely be more of a surprise than a danger
"Hey kid, I'm asking you a question. Do you dare to disrespect us?" a tall, thin man said coldly
Chen Yanzhi said: "In the past, they might not have dared. After all, they feared Master Huang, but now that they have joined the Yan family martial arts school, they have become somewhat reckless. My master, no, Yan Zhendong, possesses exceptional martial arts skills, which is evident to all. They believe that with Yan Zhendong overseeing the Shahe Gang, they can disregard Baozhilin.
Huang Feihong is the chief instructor of the Black Flag Army, yet the retired soldiers of the Black Flag Army are not wealthier than ordinary citizens
With Chen Yanzhi's current martial arts skills and abilities, he could easily take down these constables in the yamen and then escape. However, from that point on, Chen Yanzhi would have to live a life of anonymity, fleeing for his life.
The muscles and bones on his body throbbed, like a wild bull charging towards Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yan was like a soaring eagle pouncing on a rabbit, his claws carrying a fierce force as he attacked the fat man
It is precisely for this reason that Chen Yanzhi has an intimate understanding of the Shahe Gang
Chen Yanzhi and Huang Feihong were merely acquaintances, having met only four or five times in total, and could hardly be considered even ordinary friends. However, when Chen Yanzhi was in trouble, Huang Feihong spared no effort to rescue him, which is not something that an ordinary person could accomplish
Chen Yanzhi cast a faint glance at him, said nothing, and directly sat in the corner, closing his eyes to rest.
Chen Yanzhi said with a smile: "In the noodle business, having a large storefront does not guarantee profitability. The noodles I make are more delicious than those of others, so naturally, the business will thrive."
Chen Yan furrowed his brows, opened his eyes, and said: "If you want to be a prison bully, it has nothing to do with me. However, if you think you can bully me, you might have found the wrong person"
There are no seats available, so the guests take their food to go
Ling Yunkai is unemployed and lacks the talent for medicine; currently, he is helping out at a noodle shop, which can be considered a solution to his employment issue
Aunt Thirteen said: "Chen Yanzhi is an honest person. I heard that he opened a noodle shop, and the business is doing well. Why is it that in this world, good people are always bullied?"
Ling Yunkai was taken aback: "Are you joking? The Shahe Gang dares to set their sights on our Baozhilin; they must be tired of living."
Chen Yanzhi was not mistaken; this old man is indeed the governor of Foshan
The business has opened, and customers coming for noodles are arriving in an endless stream
Huang Feihong said: "My Lord, may I take Chen Yanzhi away now?"
The next morning
... ...
The man with a face full of flesh laughed heartily: "I practice the art of Paida, and my defensive capabilities are astonishing. No matter how formidable your eagle claw capture technique is, it is of no use against me!"
Both individuals practice horizontal martial arts, exhibiting formidable defensive skills, and their combat prowess is quite impressive. The skills of the robust man are exceptional, with strength that is in no way inferior to that of a pork rib.
Chen Yanzhi and the burly man exchanged a punch and then separated. In this contest of hard qigong, neither of them gained an advantage. If they continued to fight, if Chen Yanzhi did not use his agility to evade, it would surely result in both sides being injured.
Do not be deceived by the small size of the noodle shop; however, Chen Yanzhi earns sixty to seventy taels of silver each month. Ling Yunkai comes to help at the shop, and Chen Yanzhi pays him a monthly wage of five taels of silver. This is considered a high salary. Generally, a shop assistant can expect to earn only about two taels of silver per month, which is already quite good
The leader of the Shahe Gang said coldly: "Damn it, it's Huang Feihong again. Why does Huang Feihong always oppose me? The governor of Foshan is not a good person either. I have given him so much money, yet he still hasn't dealt with Chen Yanzhi."
The three river bandits did not gain any advantage over Chen Yanzhi. His martial arts skills are certainly impressive
A glint of cold light flashed in Chen Yanzhi's eyes as he let out a cold snort. With both hands pushing against the ground, he kicked out with one foot. This kick was powerful and heavy, accompanied by a faint whistling sound, sending the tall and thin figure flying away.
The slightly plump man chuckled and said, "Boss, Third Brother, this kid probably doesn't know our reputation. Since that's the case, let's give him a little lesson. Let him know that in this prison, our words are the rules."
Liang Kuan is quite a decent person. Although he deals with members of the Shahe Gang, which can be considered as fellow "senior brothers" in the same school, he always informs Chen Yanzhi whenever the Shahe Gang takes any action.
"Master Huang." Chen Yanzhi's face brightened.
The leader of the Shahe Gang said: "Furthermore, keep an eye on Baozhilin. If the opportunity arises, be sure to capture the Thirteenth Aunt, who is none other than Wong Fei-hung's woman."
Chen Yanzhi coldly laughed and said: "Is that so? I don't think so. I would like to know, which is stronger, your martial arts or my Iron Cloth Shirt"
Boss, what should we do now? Are we just going to let Chen Yanzhi go? Not only does he refuse to pay protection fees, but he also attacked our people. If we don't teach Chen Yanzhi a profound lesson, where will the face of our Shahe Gang be placed
"What have you done, newcomer?" a burly man with a face full of flesh asked Chen Yanzhi.
The burly man exclaimed, "The Shahe Gang was right; this kid is indeed a skilled fighter. Go all out and take him down!"
Huang Feihong shook his head and did not respond to the words of the Thirteenth Aunt; he was unable to answer. Not to mention that Chen Yanzhi was merely a commoner running a noodle shop, even Baozhilin often faced various difficulties.
Ling Yunkai nodded solemnly: "I will go back and inform the master and the others."
Chen Yanzhi coldly laughed and said: "Now only you are left"
"Yunkai, you stay at Baozhilin," said Huang Feihong. "A Rong, A Su, you two come with me to the governor's office."
Chen Yanzhi and the burly man clashed head-on, exchanging blows with each strike landing solidly, neither willing to give an inch
Baozhilin is the largest pharmacy in Foshan, seemingly thriving, yet in reality, Huang Feihong and his associates do not lead affluent lives. The majority of the patients seeking treatment are not financially well-off, and when they encounter those who cannot afford medical care, Baozhilin even has to subsidize the cost of medicinal materials.
The Shahe Gang has made arrangements with the authorities and has also provided benefits to three notorious bandits, who are specifically tasked with dealing with Chen Yanzhi.
Stop!
These three individuals are deliberately targeting him; he would never believe that they did not receive the authorization from the authorities.
"Yunkai, go back and tell Master Huang to be more careful. Those guys from the Shahe Gang have set their sights on Baozhilin," Chen Yanzhi said as he took a bite of noodles.
"Huang Feihong, is this the young man you want to protect?" The governor said to Chen Yanzhi, "His martial arts are quite impressive."
Ling Yunkai asked: "Yanzhi, your shop is not large, does it really make as much money as you say?"
The skills of the fat man are quite good, and he can be considered a master in the outside world. However, compared to Chen Yanzhi, he still falls short. A slight difference in skill is a world apart. Chen Yanzhi used the Eagle Claw Capture Technique to twist his arm and break it.
Huang Feihong, a master of Hung Gar Kung Fu, possessed profound skills in surgery and harbored a deep-seated hatred for evil throughout his life, dedicating himself to the welfare of society. Even in the face of adversity, including the burning of Baozhilin, he remained steadfast in his principles and conduct.
Ya Ca Su and Zhu Rou responded in unison: "Yes, Master"
Chen Yanzhi said: "Master Huang, my noodle shop is doing well, and I cannot manage it alone. I would like to hire someone to help. I wonder if you have anyone you could recommend to me. As for the wages, I will not shortchange him."
Chen Yanzhi was taken out of Baozhilin by the constables
After a busy day, it is time to close up again
The leader of the Shahe Gang had just climbed off a woman's belly when a gang member came to report: "Leader, Chen Yanzhi has been released from the governor's office. It was Huang Feihong who intervened, allowing Chen Yanzhi to come out unscathed. Otherwise, even if Chen Yanzhi did not die, he would have suffered greatly."
Ah! The fat man let out a cry of despair
Huang Feihong, at first, Chen Yanzhi felt that he was too deeply poisoned by Confucian thought, being excessively pedantic. However, it is only now that Chen Yanzhi has begun to appreciate his charismatic personality
Bang bang bang
The governor nodded and said: "Let us go. However, do not commit any more offenses in the future, otherwise I will still have to take him back to prison."
The man with a face full of flesh was taken aback: "Second brother."
Chen Yanzhi cooked noodles, sliced a plate of braised meat, and had a late-night snack with Ling Yunkai
Huang Feihong, Ya Ca Su, Zhu Rou Rong, and an elderly man dressed in official robes entered the prison
Ling Yunkai arrived at the noodle shop
Third Brother
Three individuals simultaneously launched an attack on Chen Yanzhi
