Chapter 19 Discovering Hotingen's Secret

"Xiaohan, how does Shanghai compare with foreign countries?" Xiaohui was wearing a floral blouse with a blue long skirt, she looked like a lady from any family. At this time, she was looking at Xin Han who was sweating profusely with a smile on her eyes. .

The streets were full of traffic and people, and it was a bustling scene. At this time, Shanghai was known as the Paris of the East, and it was the number one metropolis in the world.

But in Xin Han's view, that's all there is to it, it's nothing more than more bungalow cars and some foreigners, and it's not as good as the second-tier cities in later generations.

"Ah, almost the same." Xin Han walked in front listlessly, pushing a two-wheeled wooden cart full of goods.

"Then why did you come back from abroad?" Xiaohui was a little curious.

"Why else, my family is gone and I am left alone. I was bullied by foreigners abroad, so I want to come back and learn Kung Fu. After I have practiced Kung Fu, I will see who dares to bully me."

Xin Han made it up, telling the bitter history of a wanderer living in a foreign country with his nose and eyes.

"Didn't Senior Sister usually need two Senior Brothers to do the shopping together?" Xin Han was a little puzzled. Isn't there someone doing this job? Why did Xiaohui have to call him today, so as to delay his practice.

Xiaohui nodded: "Yes, but I see that you are looking for work everywhere energetically, and even offered to help your senior sister wash clothes. I think you can move these goods by yourself."

"But don't worry, we've bought almost everything, and we can go back after buying a few hundred catties of rice noodles." Xiaohui said seriously.

"..."

Revenge is definitely revenge. Xin Han was speechless and burst into tears, and the sound of camel bells sounded in his ears. He came to practice kung fu, not to do coolies.

"Junior Brother, aren't you angry?" Seeing Xin Han's sudden silence, Xiao Hui couldn't help turning around to look at Xin Han.

Xin Han squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "How can I, I dare not be angry with senior sister if I am angry with anyone, but senior sister, this work is too time-consuming, can you please don't call me next time, I will return I want to practice boxing."

Xiaohui laughed softly: "You really don't know what to do, do you think that only practicing boxing is practicing kung fu?"

"Isn't it?" Xin Han asked in surprise.

"Have you heard of Shaolin Temple? Those who go to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts have to carry water for three years to burn their muscles and bones."

"Our Fist of Fury doesn't have to carry water, but Master's direct disciples have to push this cart to buy rice and noodles for the first half of the year. "

"Really, there is such a thing, why haven't I heard of it." Xin Han had heard about Shaolin monks carrying water, but he didn't know that Jingwumen also had this kind of practice method.

"Of course it's true. The master has confiscated direct disciples for many years, so the work of buying rice and vegetables is shared by ordinary juniors. Now that you are accepted as a disciple on behalf of your father by a senior brother, it is also considered a direct disciple. In the next six months, these tasks will be done. It's all yours."

Xin Han nodded. He felt that what Xiaohui said made sense. He felt that his physical fitness was very good, but he couldn't even defeat the traitor Ah Xiang.

"Little brother, have you got married yet?" Xiaohui asked intentionally or unintentionally after a moment of silence.

"No, I didn't know anyone when I just returned to China, what kind of family is it, senior sister, why do I feel like you are checking your household registration?"

Xin Han was as tired as a grandson at the moment, so he didn't notice the strange expression on Xiao Hui's face when he said 'no'.

"It's so miserable. At such an advanced age, the Japanese shot and killed me."

"Yeah, Little Japan is too outrageous. There's nothing wrong with beating someone to death, and the bastards in the police station don't even dare to fart."

"Come on, let's go, don't let those bastards hear you."

Xin Han and Xiaohui listened curiously to the passers-by's conversation, and felt that something must have happened, and it had something to do with the Japanese.

After walking for a while, there were many passers-by watching in front of him. Xin Han pushed the cart curiously and walked over with Xiao Hui. As soon as he got closer, he heard someone calling Xiao Hui's name.

"Get out of the way and they're all scattered. Have you seen any dead people?" A passer-by in casual clothes walked towards the two of them.

Xin Han saw that this person was the chief arrester surnamed Xie who had a good relationship with Nong Jinsun.

"Boss Xie, what's the matter? Why are there so many people around?" Xiao Hui asked after greeting him.

Mr. Xie's face was a little ugly: "It just so happens that you are in the province, let's go to Jingwumen to call someone, and see if the one inside is Tian Gen, who cooks in Jingwumen."

"Ah! Uncle Gen."

Xiaohui took a few steps to look at the ground, and sure enough, the person lying on the ground was Uncle Gen who had left Fist of Fury not long ago. Uncle Gen was shot in the chest, and the blood that flowed out had already stained the nearby ground red.

"Boss Xie, who did this?" Xiaohui asked with a pale face.

Although Uncle Gen poisoned Huo Yuanjia, he was deceived by the Japanese and Ah Xiang. After all, Uncle Gen had served in Fist of Fury for decades. Although Xiaohui couldn’t forgive him, Xiaohui also accepted his tragic death. no.

Mr. Xie shook his head and said: "I don't know if this Tian Gen is crazy. He tried his best to find the Japanese on the street and said that the Japanese were dishonest and killed his son and Mr. Huo. In the end, the Japanese took out their guns and shot them to death. gone."

"Then what about the murderer, Mr. Xie, did you arrest the murderer?" Xiaohui asked anxiously.

Mr. Xie's face was embarrassed: "This...Tian Gen took the initiative to attack the Japanese. The Japanese were only defending themselves. Even if they were arrested, they would not be convicted."

"you..."

"Senior sister, Mr. Xie is right, the Japanese are so rampant now, it's useless to catch them." Xin Han grabbed Xiaohui to prevent her from entanglement.

Xin Han thought that by digging out the traitor of Jingwumen in advance, Uncle Gen would not be killed by Ah Xiang, but he did not expect to die here.

He guessed that Uncle Gen must have heard the news of his son's death and came to the Japanese to make a theory before he was beaten to death. Having said that, it's fate to have a drink and a peck. This is also retribution.

"Okay, since it's from your Jingwumen, you should just take this corpse away." Mr. Xie pointed to Uncle Gen and said.

Xin Han took a step forward and whispered: "Boss Xie, you don't know. Uncle Gen is the one who poisoned my master. Senior brother thought he was old and frail, and he had been in Jingwumen for many years, so he just kicked him out." He left Fist of Fury, now he is no longer a member of Fist of Fury."

"I really didn't expect Uncle Huo to be poisoned by his own people, so..." Mr. Xie looked embarrassed.

Xin Han touched the pockets of his suit, took out a few dollars, and handed them over without counting: "Uncle Gen can't go back to Fist of Fury, so let's ask the bosses to do it for us."

"Okay then." Mr. Xie looked at Dayang and felt that the young man in front of him was very good at handling things. Although his relationship with Fist of Fury could be helpful even without these few dollars, the mood of the two must be different.

After buying all the things, on the way back Xiaohui seemed very preoccupied. Xin Han knew that she was feeling bad because of Uncle Gen's death, so he didn't bother her. When he glanced away, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

"Senior sister, let's see if that person is a senior brother."

Xiao Hui looked in the direction Xin Han pointed, and she saw a figure walking away very quickly. It seemed to be Huo Tingen. She had learned martial arts together for many years and she couldn't admit his mistake.

"Strange, it's time for dinner, big brother, where are you going in a hurry?" Xiaohui thought for a while: "Go and have a look, if there is anything, I can help."

Xin Han had troubles and couldn't tell, he thought that you wouldn't have backache while standing and talking, and that you were playing stalking instead of going back to Jingwumen after pushing a cart weighing hundreds of catties.

Pushing the cart behind Xiaohui with a bitter face, the two followed Huo Tingen to an alley, Xiaohui's expression changed, and Xin Han looked around with interest.

There are red lanterns hanging everywhere in the alley, attractive plaques, such as Chunju Garden, Hongxiangxiu, Lilehui, and so on. A group of big girls dressed in cheongsams with slits reaching to the thighs stood on the street to attract customers.

"Fuck me, this is the legendary Fireworks and Willow Lane." Seeing such a "scenery", Xin Han couldn't get enough of his eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on my feet: "Oh! Why are you stepping on my feet, senior sister?"

"Hmph, who told you to watch everything until you learn it well."

It turned out that it was Xiaohui who saw him squinting and suddenly felt furious, and stomped hard on his feet.

"Look what's wrong, I'm such a young man, I'm not married yet, look at it, isn't it normal?" Xin Han felt that Xiaohui was a little strange, what was it, she was much more conservative than later generations.

"That's not okay, even if you get married, you have to find a girl from a good family. There are bad women here, so don't use your brains." Xiaohui warned sternly.

"I got it, I got it, hurry up and find senior brother." Xin Han replied dejectedly.

"Hey, why did senior brother go in?" Xiao Hui saw Huo Tingen directly entering a house on the side of the road, and there was a small sign hanging in front of the house.

The two of them took a closer look and saw that the sign was beautifully written with the word 'Xiaohong' neatly written on it.

"How can senior brother come to such a place, no, I will go in and find him."

Xiaohui saw clearly that this place was also a place for fireworks, and was anxious to break in, but was held back by Xin Han.

"Why don't you let me in." Xiao Hui was a little angry.

Xin Han smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, if you go in like this and bump into something, everyone's faces will be ugly."

Xiaohui immediately understood what Xin Han said, what can a man do when he comes to this kind of place, after all, Huo Tingen is the owner of the pavilion, and he will definitely not look good if he smashes the scandal by himself. Is really famous.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't go in and spat softly: "You men don't have a good thing, if you can't, I have to tell Uncle Nong about it."

"What does this matter have to do with me!" Xin Han was a little puzzled, seeing Xiaohui running back towards Jingwumen, he had no choice but to push the cart and follow behind.
