Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 146 Humiliation, Cooperation (re-updated from the previous chapter)
The sun set in the west, and around 05:30 in the afternoon, the walled city began to dim.

dentist clinic.

A dozen people were sitting around the table eating.

"Search each house one by one until we find the three of them."

"Brother Xia Man, I don't have it here."

"If you say it's not there, it's not there. How would we know if we don't search it."

The noisy sounds outside the door reached their ears, and everyone couldn't help but stop eating and drinking.

Duan Zhejiang's expression remained normal: "Keep eating. If you want to search, let them search."

Everyone just picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

Bang bang bang!
"Open the door."

There were violent knocks on the door and shouts one after another.

"coming."

Duan Zhejiang replied, got up and opened the door.

Duan Yingfeng hesitated for a moment and followed.

As soon as Duan Zhejiang opened the door, a group of menacing forty-nine men with glaring things came in.

He stepped aside and looked at the arrogant-looking man in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xia Man, what's going on?"

"I'm looking for someone."

Feng Xiaman, who had a scar on his forehead, pushed Duan Zhejiang away and walked into the house.

He glanced around at everyone in the clinic.

"Did you see two women and a big man?"

"There's no one you're looking for here."

Duan Yingfeng's tone was cold.

"is it?"

Feng Xiaman turned his head and glanced at Duan Yingfeng: "I haven't even described the appearance of the three of them. Are you so sure that you haven't seen them?"

Duan Zhejiang pursed his lips without leaving a trace and quickly stepped forward.

"No, what Yingfeng means is that everyone in our clinic is here, and there is no one else."

"Did I ask you?"

Feng Xiaman replied in a perverse tone.

His eyes were fixed on Duan Yingfeng's face: "Boy, it's not just because you said it doesn't exist. I have to search it to find out. Do you understand?"

"Search carefully!" he shouted.

"Yes"

The forty-nine people walked to the back room with their bright things.

The atmosphere in the clinic fell into silence for a while, and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets could be heard from time to time.

As time passed, Xiaozhi, who was standing in the corner, looked more and more uneasy. He couldn't help but move his steps and blocked his whole body in front of the cabinet.

Feng Xiaman, who had been paying attention to everyone's expressions, glared at Xiaozhi and walked over.

When Duan Yingfeng saw this, he moved forward and was about to step forward. Duan Zhejiang grabbed his wrist, pulled him back, and shook his head at him.

Feng Xiaman pinched the back of Xiaozhi's neck and said angrily:
"What's hidden in here?"

"I, I won't tell you." Xiaozhi tilted his head with evasive eyes.

Feng Xiaman pushed Xiaozhi away and opened the cabinet door with both hands. When he saw the scattered items inside the cabinet, he gritted his teeth.

"You dare to play with me!"

Duan Zhejiang stepped forward to support the staggering Xiaozhi and said quickly: "Brother Xia Man, Xiaozhi was hit on the head. I hope you won't be the same as him."

Feng Xiaman cursed in a low voice, as if scolding his mother, and overturned the cabinet to the ground with a pale face.

The heartbeats of everyone in the clinic couldn't help but slow down a beat. After noticing the expressions on everyone's faces, Feng Xiaman, who was about to walk away, took a glance and saw clearly what was hidden behind the cabinet.

A plaque.

"Oh Duan family Baji!"

He sneered and glanced at the people in front of him: "How brave are you to hide the martial arts plaque privately and want to rebel?!"

Duan Zhejiang's expression changed and he said hurriedly:

"No, Brother Xia Man, the Baji Sect has passed away a long time ago. We haven't opened a clinic to teach apprentices in these years. Those who pull teeth, those who sell sweets sell sweets, and those who deliver letters have almost forgotten the skills of delivering letters."

Feng Xiaman stepped on the plaque: "Then how do you explain this thing?"

"Brother Chunmei, we really don't know. Since the hometown association stipulated that no one is allowed to open a school in the walled city to teach apprentices, we have already thrown away the plaque. Maybe Xiaozhi picked it back as a toy."

Duan Zhejiang said pleadingly.

"Ah"

Feng Xiaman sneered twice: "You picked it up as a toy? So even if I smash it, you won't care?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed slightly and they all fell silent.

Seeing Feng Xiaman's face getting more and more ugly, Duan Zhejiang said with difficulty: "I don't care, I don't care."

"Brother Xia Man, we have searched the back room and the attic, and there is no one there." You Sijiu came over and said.

"Brother Xia Man, it's a misunderstanding and the plaque is up to you to deal with. Don't worry, we will definitely help you keep an eye on the person you are looking for." Duan Zhejiang spoke up at the right time.

"Let me handle it?"

Feng Xiaman laughed, turned to look at the expressionless Duan Yingfeng, grabbed the plaque and came to Duan Yingfeng.

"Take it."

Duan Yingfeng hugged the plaque to his chest, gritted his teeth, and stared at Feng Xiaman.

Feng Xiaman didn't care, took two steps back, stepped forward, and smashed the plaque with both palms.

As if he thought of something interesting, he suddenly stopped when his palms were less than an inch away from the plaque.

He chuckled and pointed at Duan Yingfeng's nose: "You smashed it!"

For the martial arts world, a signature is something more important than life.

Feng Xiaman's intention was very obvious, which was to humiliate him nakedly.

He even asked Duan Yingfeng to break Duan's Baji's backbone.
Duan Yingfeng held the plaque with both hands, making a clicking sound.

Duan Zhejiang said:
"Brother Xia Man, don't be ridiculous. My nephew only knows how to extract teeth. How can he break this plaque?"

"Then do you want me to lend him the guy?" Feng Xiaman said in a perverse tone.

Duan Yingfeng looked at the people in the clinic, his eyes passing over these familiar faces one by one.After a while, he took a heavy step forward and released his right hand.

Boom!
A corner of the plaque is on the ground.

"Hurry up and smash it!" Feng Xiaman urged word by word.

"what!"

Duan Yingfeng roared and slammed his right fist down!

"Crack!"

"Ha ha."

Seeing the plaque broken into two parts, Feng Xiaman laughed and stepped forward.

He stretched out his hand and patted Duan Yingfeng's chest, with a playful expression on his face: "You are so powerful! It's a pity that there is no place for a hero, so you should just keep calm and help people pull teeth, hahaha."

"let's go."

He laughed and left with a group of Four-Nine.

"Fengfeng!" Duan Zhejiang shouted worriedly.

Duan Yingfeng ignored it, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"We're done." Ang Lee came over with a handful of scattered Queen's heads (coins).

"Come on, three dollars each."

More than a dozen workers present walked up to Li An in an orderly manner.

"thank you boss."

Li An waved his hand: "Thank you, no need. Come early tomorrow."

"Got it, boss."

Watching these workers leave, Li An locked the shop door.

"Your name is Li An?" A little girl who looked to be five or six years old and had braids walked up to Li An.

Li An squatted down with a smile on his face: "Kid, what do you want from me?"

The girl's dusty little face was full of seriousness:

"Just now a beautiful sister gave me a note and asked me to give it to you, saying that you would give me fifty cents to buy sugar cakes. However, you have to give me the money first before I can give you the note."

Li An chuckled: "What a clever little guy."

He took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it over: "Here, brother, give you a dollar."

"Thank you brother."

The girl took the money, handed the crumpled note to Li An, and jumped away.

Seeing the little girl disappear, Li An opened the note and took a look, then tore it into pieces and looked across the street.

Following Li An's gaze, he saw two young men with scornful faces.

Li An chuckled and walked straight towards the two of them.

"Being blatantly stared at for a long time makes you tired, but I'm tired of it."

He spoke softly, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were as indifferent as a tiger.

The two of them first glanced at the three people following Li An, and then looked at Li An.One of them said with a stern expression:
"We are from the hometown association, what do you want to do?"

Before he could finish speaking, his neck felt painful and he lost consciousness.

The following backhand punch hit the other person's chin, making a dull fleshy sound!
Ang Lee retracted his fist:

"It's much quieter now, let's go."

The four of them walked along Longjin Road for a while and then turned into an alley. After walking around for a long time, they arrived at the Tin Hau Temple in Chengzhai Old Man Street.

Walking along the steps into Thean Hou Temple, in front of the altar table on the right, the woman looked at the memorial tablets on the wall in a daze. When she heard the footsteps, she came to her senses and lit three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner.

"Don't you feel awkward putting incense on yourself?"

The woman didn't look back: "Zhaoxia died 15 years ago, and the only one alive now is Huaman."

She turned around and looked at Li An: "You seem to know my identity?"

Li An nodded: "I know, and I know much more than you think."

The woman's eyes narrowed:
"Go out and talk?"

"Okay!"

They walked out of Thean Hou Palace side by side and came to the courtyard in front of the palace gate.

The two stood opposite each other, and Li An's eyes naturally fell on Hua Man.

The purple embroidered cheongsam perfectly showed off the curves of the woman's body. Her supple and round cheeks and slightly raised chin made her smile look a little sweeter.

Li An's eyes wandered back and forth on Hua Man twice before he said straight to the point:
"You invited me here specifically. What do you want?"

Huaman pursed her lips and said, "I hope you can help me take care of my brother."

"You mean Aquan?"

"Well, now Ke Wanchang, Feng Chunmei, and Fu Shoujin have joined forces. The fellow villagers are going crazy looking for people in the walled city. It shouldn't take long for my brother and the others to be discovered."

Hearing this, Li An raised his eyebrows: "Strictly speaking, apart from acquaintances, the two of us have no friendship. We are not even ordinary friends. Why do you think that I will help you."

Huaman seemed to have thought of something, a faint blush flashed across her face, and then fell silent again.

She was silent for a while, and instead of answering the question, she suddenly made a digression.

"What is your purpose in coming to the walled city this time?"

Li An spread his hands and said casually: "As you can see, we are doing business. It will take about more than a week. The store will be ready for business after the renovation."

"Then why did you bring trouble to the hometown association?"

After saying that, Huaman pursed her lips.

Li An didn't have much to hide, and said with a smile: "Actually, I originally planned to kill the three of them directly, but I happened to have less money to start the business, so I fell in love with the three people's net worth, so I let them live a few more days. "

Hua Man stared at Li An with his eyes, and his whole body became much sharper.

She considered her words: "What if I can help you plan the fortunes of three people, and also help you kill three of them?"

Hearing this, Li An smiled: "You don't want them to die in the hands of others, right?"

"Yes!"

Huaman said with extra force.

A pair of clear eyes seemed to be infected with thick ink, and a fierce light flashed away.

"After my parents died, my brother was taken to Macau by my third aunt. In order to survive alone, I worked as a thief, a beggar, and even fought with dogs for food and suffered so much. The only purpose was to To avenge my parents."

Li An sighed when he saw the woman's appearance:

"Then have you ever thought about it, in fact, you are not the one who should bear this hatred, but you, Chaoyang and Duan Yingfeng. Although there is another person who killed Duan Tongtian, Duan Tongtian's death is still separate from the fellow countrymen. It doesn’t matter.”

Huaman was shocked and hurriedly asked:

"Do you know who killed Master Duan?"

"I know." Li An nodded: "I said, I know a lot more things than you think. Ke Wanchang and the other three are just minor players, and the real mastermind is still hidden behind the hometown association."

Huaman hesitated for a moment: "Then can you tell me, and I can pay you."

Li An shook his head: "He knows everything about the Walled City. Telling you now is just a warning. As long as three of the fellow villagers die, he will naturally appear on his own. What's more, with your skills, you are no match for him."

While a gloom filled her heart, Huaman also looked directly at the man in front of her.

It's not that she doesn't believe Li An's words, but she just has some doubts in her heart.

"How do you know so clearly?"

"Kung Fu is made by fighting, not by practicing alone. I don't have any other hobbies. There is such a master hidden in the walled city, so I naturally want to fight with him."

Li An stopped talking and said no more.

The two were relatively speechless.

Huaman lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something.

After a while, she said dryly: "You haven't answered my question yet?"

The woman looked at Li An expectantly.

Seeing Hua Man's eyes, Li An thought for a while and said:

"Again, your brother has his own way to go. Now that he has come to the walled city, he cannot ignore his parents' hatred.

As for the three of Ke Wanchang, I can leave it to you, but you have to hurry up. Even if I have time to wait, the three of them are eager to deal with me as soon as possible after joining forces, so you don't have much time. "

"Thank you!" Hua Man smiled sweetly.

"You don't need to thank me. We are just making a deal. Don't forget, what I want is the net worth of the three of them."

Li An emphasized again.

Hua Man nodded silently when she heard the words, as if she thought of something, she said: "The woman who went to Anle Building with my brother yesterday was a bit dangerous, her attacks were fierce, her skills were neat and tidy, she could kill with one hit, more like yes"

She frowned and thought, as if she was trying to think of a word to describe it. It took her a while before she uttered two words: "Killer!"

Killer?

Li An was thoughtful, and Hua Man's words confirmed his suspicion.
