The reason why Huang Feihong was tempted by the silver was not because he was a greedy person, but because the pressure of eating, drinking, and defecating for the 3,000 Black Flag Army soldiers was too great for him. It almost crushed him. If Yi Yuanlei was willing to help at this time, it would indeed solve Huang Feihong's urgent problem.
Previously, after the Black Flag Army won a few battles with the foreigners, the foreigners had no choice but to lower their heads and submit. Therefore, the foreigners of several large countries joined forces to pressure the Qing court to deal with the Black Flag Army. Otherwise, they would have to start a war and resolve it themselves.
Hearing such a strong declaration from the foreigners, the Qing court, which had always been afraid of the foreign forces, was naturally afraid of the joint attack of the foreigners.
Therefore, not only did they directly order the abolition of the Black Flag Army's name, but they also did not even give the most basic dismissal payment. It could be said that they made the heroes bleed and cry.
Huang Feihong was the former head instructor of the Black Flag Army, so it was naturally Chivalry who took the initiative to spend money and put in effort to settle down all three thousand Black Flag Army soldiers. Then, they formed the current Foshan Militia.
However, the problem was that the 3,000 soldiers who maintained the Black Flag Army were not a small number. Although Huang Feihong could earn some money by driving the Bao Zhilin, he could not afford to support 3,000 soldiers!
Moreover, Huang Feihong was a benevolent person. When he met a poor family that he looked down on, not only did he not collect money, but he would also give them medicine for free. He could not earn much money at all.
Otherwise, as Huang Feihong's disciple, Lin Shirong would not have gone to sell pork instead of practicing martial arts. He was even given the nickname " Pork Rong ".
Although Huang Feihong had thought of letting the soldiers of the Black Flag Army do some small business, these people were illiterate and could not do anything other than have the strength.
Moreover, these soldiers of the Black Flag Army had to maintain their combat strength. If they did not train for a long time, not only would their combat strength drop, but their hearts might also be scattered.
If that really happened, then the Black Flag Army that had once beaten the Westerners to submission would only exist in name. This was naturally what Huang Feihong did not want to see the most.
This was also why Huang Feihong was so moved when he heard that Yi Yuanlei was willing to support the Black Flag Army with all his might.
Furthermore, Huang Feihong felt that Yi Yuanlei was just passively retaliating. Although he had been a little harsh, the dead Shahe Gang members were not good people!
After a change in his heart, Huang Feihong gritted his teeth and stood up. He said to Yi Yuanlei,"
"Yuanlei, since you've already put it this way, then I, Huang, will not hesitate anymore. I will talk to the Governor about this matter. As long as the Governor has spoken, even if the Magistrate has objections, he will not be able to do anything to you.”
Yi Yuanlei's heart instantly calmed down. With Huang Feihong's words, the situation here was basically stable. He immediately laughed and said to Huang Feihong,
"Haha…Haha…I'll leave everything to you, Master Huang!”
Seeing this, Huang Feihong could not help but smile. He cupped his fists at Yi Yuanlei and said,
"Sure, sure."
Just as Yi Yuanlei and Huang Feihong came to an agreement, a clamor suddenly came from outside the courtyard. In the next moment, a few people from the yamen dressed in constable uniforms barged in.
Huang Feihong immediately raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene. He quickly walked out of the door and cupped his fists towards the bailiffs.
"Milords, may I know why Bao Zhilin has suddenly come to visit me?”
"Master Huang, please."
When the leading bailiff saw Huang Feihong, he also cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he looked at Yi Yuanlei, who came out behind Huang Feihong, and said coldly to Huang Feihong,
"We came here for this person. Master Huang, please do us a favor and don't make things difficult for us brothers!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bailiff ignored Huang Feihong's reaction and walked around him. He came to Yi Yuanlei and said coldly,"
"Yi Yuanlei, how dare you commit murder in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of the public. We have been ordered by Lord Prefect to arrest you!”
Upon seeing this, Huang Feihong's figure flashed and he once again appeared in front of the bailiff. He cupped his fists and said,
"Milord, this Huang knows a thing or two about Yi Yuanlei's matter, and was forced to retaliate. I wonder if Milord can accommodate this Huang and Yi Yuanlei for a bit?”
Upon hearing this, the face of the leading bailiff immediately turned slightly cold. He shouted at Huang Feihong in a cold voice,
"Huang Feihong, we are here on the orders of Lord Prefect to capture him! You dare to stop me?"
When the bailiff arrived, the Shahe Gang had told him that he had to arrest Yi Yuanlei immediately and that he must not give Yi Yuanlei any chance to contact the outside world. Naturally, they would not give Huang Feihong any face.
