After Xu Qilang made some arrangements, he brought a group of subordinates and Song Wei to Mingjing Hall together.

Although Mingjingtang is only named after the hall, it is actually a large courtyard. Because the buildings here have the function of resisting foreign enemies, they are built like a fortress.

Xu Qilang had been growing up in the capital, and had no contact with the concubine uncles at home, and had little contact with the stewards.

Because the Qin family has the strongest armed forces, Uncle Xu first asked the Qin family to be contacted by Xu Qilang. Xu Qilang did have some tricks, and was soon recognized by the Qin family. In the end, there is the support of the Song family, but Xu Qilang's strength is still weak in the Xu family.

So if Uncle Xu died too early, it would be very unfavorable to Xu Qilang.

Besides, in terms of the relationship between father and son, Xu Qilang didn't want anything to happen to his father at all.

I hurried to the gate of the outer courtyard of Mingjing Hall, but there were no lights inside, and it looked a bit dark, which was very suspicious. If Uncle Xu really failed, there should be many people inside, and there should be many lights. Uncle Xu brought five or six concubines with him, and a group of maids. If these women cried, they would cry loudly, but there was no sound from inside.

The guard at the door saw the heavily armed men behind Xu Qilang, and said, "Master Seven, they can't follow in."

Xu Qilang sneered, "Why?"

The guard said proudly to Xu Qilang, "Master's order."

Xu Qilang pulled out the long knife at his waist and wiped his neck, the blood spurted out all at once, Song Wei hurriedly took a step aside to avoid the blood splashing on himself, while the other guards guarding the gate were all frightened , Their eyes turned red immediately, and one of them said to Xu Qilang, "Seventh Young Master, what do you mean? You haven't become the head of the house yet, is this how you treat loyal servants?"

Xu Qilang then said, "This is just the gate of the outer courtyard. My father never ordered his subordinates not to enter this gate. You don't know what this man's intentions are through my father's argument? If there is someone who stands in their way again , I will kill you without fail."

Those guards hesitated a little, some people wanted to look back, but they were afraid that Xu Qilang would see something, so their eyes flickered, and they wanted to let Xu Qilang and his men go in.

But Xu Qilang dawdled and asked, "Is my elder brother here?"

One of them laughed apologetically, "Eldest young master hasn't arrived yet. Seventh young master, please hurry up. Isn't the master suddenly seriously ill? If you don't hurry over, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Xu Qilang frowned, but said calmly, "No rush. Since the elder brother has not arrived, I will wait here for the elder brother to go together."

The guard hesitated even more, Xu Qilang asked again, "Where is my third brother, has he gone in?"

The guard quickly smiled and said, "Go in, go in. Seventh Young Master, you should hurry in too."

Xu Qilang still didn't move, and after dawdling for a while, a firework was suddenly released into the sky at the back. After falling, the subordinates who had followed but hid behind also ran up, guarding Xu Qilang and Song Wei in the middle, and rushed into the gate of the outer courtyard.

Sure enough, a lot of people were ambushed inside. Seeing Xu Qilang rushing in like this, after a moment's hesitation, they rushed up directly, and the yard immediately fought hand to hand, and the sound of fighting resounded through the night sky.

Qin Jianyang and Xu Qilang split into two groups, and he led a group of good men directly into the backyard of Mingjing Hall through a hidden small secret door behind Mingjing Hall. Mingjing Hall was built with high walls and defensive fortresses, but There is also such a small secret door, which is usually used for special people like Qin Jianyang to walk through. If something happens, it is easy to block this door.

Boss Xu didn't know about this secret door, so Boss Xu had people guard the front and side doors to be safe. He sent someone to wait for Xu Qilang at the front door, and killed him as soon as he entered the yard. The few guards at the door revealed their secrets in an instant, and Xu Qilang didn't want to enter the door at all.

Qin Jianyang entered the Mingjing Hall from the back, and directly took people to see Uncle Xu's situation quietly. Unexpectedly, Uncle Xu had already died on the bed, and the concubines were either dead or tied up and gagged. In the next room, Qin Jianyang fortunately found Qin Shi very quickly. Qin Shi was tied to a pillar. There were already heavy casualties in the inner courtyard. No wonder no one from Xu Qilang ran to report to Xu Qilang first. , all because Boss Xu did a great job, and he struck too fast, killing everyone who could be killed when everyone couldn't think of it.

Qin Jianyang let someone rescue Qin's family, so he directly let go of a firework. When Xu Qilang saw this signal, he knew that he would rush in from the front yard to cooperate with others.

Boss Xu knew that Xu Qilang might not be fooled, but he thought that he would be able to deal with Xu Qilang because he had a lot of people, but he didn't expect that Xu Qilang's people were all elite, even Song Wei, a woman who would kill without blinking an eye, finally There was no distinction between the upper and lower, and the two groups of men and horses advanced and retreated at the same time, and they confronted each other in the inner courtyard.

Xu Qilang was covered in blood, which was naturally the blood of other people. Standing in the shadows, he cursed at Boss Xu who was standing in front of the hall, "Brother, what are you doing? Murdering brother?"

Xu Laodao said, "Can't you see what I mean by this? I think you were not born when I followed my father to do business for this family. I have worked hard for this family for most of my life. Is it a waste of effort? In the end, my father was so eccentric and gave everything to you. What are you? You just lived in the capital from a young age. When you come back, my third brother and I will give you the country that my father laid down. Is there such a cheap thing in the world? If you If you are willing, I will give you 20 taels of silver, and you can use it to live, if you don’t want to, you can die here.”

Xu Qilang didn't know that Uncle Xu was so angry that he didn't come up to death, so he was still willing to talk to him, "This is the will made by the father, and the father naturally knows to make the best judgment. You have been full in these years Private pockets, are there not enough things collected from the public to yourself? My father just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. You said that you have been contributing to the family these years, so what do you say about your private properties? It is said that every time you go overseas, only you can make a loss in the future, and you have to use the money from the company to subsidize it. Didn’t you do it on purpose. By doing this, brother, you are ashamed to say that you are working hard for the family business ?”

Boss Xu frowned at what he said. He didn't expect that Uncle Xu would tell Xu Qilang all these things, but these were not what Uncle Xu said to Xu Qilang. He was afraid that the conflict between his sons would be even worse. He would tell Xu Qilang these things, and Xu Qilang had found them out by himself.

Boss Xu had no choice but to change the subject in front of his subordinates and said, "You helped the court fight Wang Qi, which made our family unable to do business with those bosses in the sea now, but you went to fight Wang Qi, but you still suffered It caused taboo in the imperial court, our house was confiscated, we can only move here from Guangzhou, the disaster you brought to the family, the clan and the stewards also cannot agree with you."

Xu Qilang said, "Brother, if the people in the clan and the stewards don't agree with me, I can naturally find a way to make them agree. Since my father has entrusted me with the position of head of the family and the property, I will do it myself. You don't need to worry. When it comes to helping the imperial court to fight Wang Qi, we are the people of Dayong, and Wang Qi and Japanese pirates jointly plundered the inland. From a righteous point of view, we should also help the imperial court to destroy Wang Qi. Besides, you said I was the one who suffered I don't agree with the court's treatment of the Xu family. The reason for the court's action against our family is that our family has colluded with pirates, but this is just a superficial reason. The real reason is that our family has gone too far with the Xu family. , the Xu family has become the emperor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the emperor will definitely deal with him, we are just the victims in the front. What does this have to do with me, on the contrary, I lead people to help the court to defeat Wang Qi, and the court will look after our family. For the sake of redemption, it is right to open our family network. Big brother, you slandered me so unreasonably, are you just getting old and confused? Or do you think everyone else is a fool? "

Boss Xu was about to ask for something, when suddenly a few bullets shot in the past, if it weren't for the dead soldiers protecting him in front of him who threw him down forcefully, he would have been shot to death, even so, the people in front of him would have died too several.

And Xu Qilang hid in the shadows, only his voice could be heard, and his people could not be seen anywhere.

Xu Qilang no longer talked to Xu Boss, but said, "Brother, I will return the words you said to me just now. If you carry out your father's will, we will still be a good family in the future. If If you insist on this, then I, as the head of the family, don't blame me for disregarding brotherhood, and will definitely dispose of you."

Boss Xu was frightened by the shots fired by Xu Qilang's subordinates, and he hastily hid behind the wall of people. He said, "Uncle and the stewards all support me, except for my father who is old, dazed, and only partial. If someone recognizes you as the Patriarch, stop joking."

Xu Qilang said harshly, "Am I joking, just try it and you'll know."

Xu Qilang didn't say any more, and directly ordered the firecrackers who followed behind to come up. This is Ji Heng's modified firecracker. When he was in Wenzhou, he gave it to the equipment. Firecrackers are rare gadgets, even if they can I bought it from Franji, but firstly it was too expensive, and secondly, there were few bullets, so Boss Xu didn't let his subordinates equip it at all, but Xu Qilang directly formed two firecracker teams without hesitation.

Because Xu Qilang has firecrackers here, at first Xu Qilang was still arrogant, thinking that there were many people on his side, even if Xu Qilang rushed to the inner courtyard with his troops, he would not be his opponent. Only now did he know how powerful the opponent was, so Just panicked.

Xu Qilang's firepower was too fierce, and Boss Xu's side was beaten to the ground. When Qin Jianyang led people to flank him, he really panicked, so he had to save his life. The side door ran out.

Xu Qilang chased after him with his men. The uncles and stewards hadn't left here yet. They all lived in the yard not far away. Across the woods, they could hear the shouts of killing. They had already been killed. Boss Xu has explained it, so he did not go out to uphold justice for Xu Qilang. The reason is that some people are on the side of Boss Xu, after all, they have a deeper relationship with Boss Xu; For mediation, you can only go out after they finish fighting and the results come out. Therefore, except for Qin Jianyang who directly stood by Xu Qilang's side to help him use force, everyone else was acting like a coward.

Boss Xu was forced to run to the port. At this time, the concubine uncles and the manager sent people out to inquire about the news, and when they learned that Xu Qilang had won, they hurried out to uphold justice and refused to let Xu Qilang win. They chased and killed Boss Xu, so Boss Xu boarded the boat and ran out of the sea with some people.

Actually, Xu Qilang didn't want to kill Boss Xu. After all, he was a brother, so he took people back directly. Of course, he was not afraid of Boss Xu running away. Song Wei's fleet was waiting for him at an important place.

Such a fight took two hours, and the eastern sky began to show a little paleness.

Xu Qilang hurried back to Mingjing Hall, only then did he learn that Uncle Xu was dead.
