Three days later, Li Ting asked Qiu Yan to send a letter, telling him that she had left for Sichuan.

Liu Dapao didn't know whether he really went back or pretended to go back. This old witch who looked like a girl in her twenties thought she couldn't see through him, so he could still fool her with macro-philosophical ideas, but

When it comes to scheming and scheming against each other, Liu Dapao is really not confident that he can outplay this old guy.

However, he has obtained the roster of Tiance Mansion, but it is unknown whether this roster is true or false, or whether the names in it are complete or incomplete.

But before leaving, this girl also arranged for a woman named Jiu'er to be her personal maid, euphemistically speaking, it was to protect her personal safety. According to her, this Jiu'er was her ninth.

The disciple, who has been raised by his side since he was two years old, is not inferior to Qiu Yan in martial arts.

But anyway, Liu Dapao didn't really believe that Jiu'er looked weak, thin and small compared to Qiu Yan's majestic figure.

As for whether Jiu'er was protecting him or spying on him, Liu Dapao didn't really care. At least Jiu'er was pretty and he didn't suffer.

From the perspective of future generations, if she is willing to sell it, it will be at least five thousand yuan a night. If I do it on a whim one day, I will not feel any guilt in my heart. I really want to talk to a heavyweight.

It's impossible to have her by your side to serve you when we talk about things.

On the other hand, he really needs a middleman who can contact Tiance Mansion at any time. Since he accepted the identity of this so-called Mohist giant, he also gave them the suggestion of surrounding the city from the countryside. Sichuan and Shu

He really couldn't ignore it completely, at least he had to study it.

"In the direction of Sichuan and Sichuan, who was the leader of the Zhou Dynasty in countering the rebellion?"

"Wang Quanbin, a veteran of the Shatuo people."

"It's him again?"

Liu Dapao frowned slightly and planned to find an opportunity to ask Zhao Kuangmei or Suning Xian to see if there was any possibility of cooperation between the two parties. Ordinarily, the government was unstable at this time, and any smarter Jiedushi would definitely be

We must try every means to raise the bandits to have self-respect.

From this perspective, everyone is not necessarily the enemy.

However, he remembered that the Great Sichuan-Shu Rebellion in the early Song Dynasty was originally caused by Wang Quanbin, and it was clear that when Meng Chang, the leader of the Shu Kingdom, was still there and the Jianmen natural barrier was firmly in his hand, Wang Quanbin was able to defeat the Sichuan Army.

They were defeated and retreated. It only took seventy days from the dispatch of troops to the capture of Chengdu. Most of the time was spent on the road. Mrs. Huarui even wrote the name "140,000 people disarmed, and not one of them was a man."

Chapter.

How come after Sichuan and Shu were annexed, Quan Shixiong, Wang Xiaobo and their ilk never had the sword in their hands, but instead made the Song Dynasty miserable and almost ruined the country's destiny because of this?

What's even more bizarre is that what happened in the history of the Song Dynasty was exactly the same in the Zhou Dynasty, which was completely changed because Chai Rong lived thirty more years.

Obviously this is definitely not a coincidence. Liu Dapao estimates that there must be a deeper reason for this matter, but he cannot analyze it yet. He has too little information and does not know enough about the situation in Sichuan and Sichuan.

If you have the chance, it would be better to learn more about this matter. If you can really find out the reason, maybe many problems can be solved easily.

Regardless of whether Li Ting really left or pretended to leave, it was always certain that Qiu Yan stayed and joined the Yizimen. Liu Dapao simply made him a hall leader and even set up a special hall for him.

A brand new entrance: the execution hall.

That is to say, he is responsible for punishing those who violate the gang rules. If necessary, he will organize death squads to chase traitors thousands of miles away. He is allowed to choose the candidates himself. He is also intended to take over the Tiance Mansion hidden in Yangzhou City.

People come together.

Of course, because the Xingtang is not engaged in production, not only can they not make money for the gang, but they also have to spend money to support them directly with the gang's funds. Any more or less is not suitable, so its main members,

On the contrary, they were all delinquents of the Yangzhou government office and the patrol battalion directly under Liu Dapao. The deputy hall leader was Jin Hai, who was in charge of the prison.

It's okay to eat from the public and do private things.

Of course, the government money was also earned by Liu Dapao. From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, the grassroots civil servants who really controlled the power at the grassroots level were not paid. They were all raised by people like Liu Dapao. Then

Of course, you have to be righteous in whatever way you can.

Members within the gang had no objections to Qiu Yan's appointment as the leader of the punishment hall. After all, Qiu Yan's official status at this time was a serious official of Yangzhou Prefecture, and his prestige and reputation had always been very good, even if it was directed at him.

With his reputation, everyone also believes that he will do things fairly.

Moreover, he is an airborne sect who neither belongs to Lao Yi nor Lao He, so it is easier to hold a bowl of water levelly.

In fact, when the situation has developed to this point, Qiu Yan's torture chamber uses delinquents as its main members, and the nature of the work of delinquents is similar to that of the police in modern society. This is essentially competing with the Yangzhou government for law enforcement rights.

Already.

After all, although Yangzhou has a population of one million, most of the cases on the streets are probably not committed by people like He Zimen, or at least they are directly related to them.

When people are arrested, will they be tried according to the laws of Dazhou or according to the Thirty-six Oaths of the Yizi Sect? After the trial, they will be thrown directly into Jinhai's prison, or should they simply be released and tell the superiors that they cannot be arrested?

It is still unknown what Shen Yi's attitude is towards this. The old fox's city is so deep that Liu Dapao cannot guess him at all.

But before passing Shen Yi's level, Du Mengdong's level must be passed first.

On the night when Qiu Yan officially burned incense and kowtowed, and officially joined the Yizi Sect to take over as the leader of the hall, Du Mengdong was meditating alone at home, thinking about something in his mind, when the Dragon Crossing the River came to take him uninvited.

You have to have a drink with him over the fine wine and appetizers.

Du Mengdong had no choice but to invite the person into his study and treat him well. He was still thinking about what this guy wanted to say when he came to him. As a result, the dragon crossed the river and got straight to the point. He just put the food and wine on the table and said:

"Who the hell is Qiu Yan? He's an outsider. He's a bad person who robs you as soon as he joins our Yizi sect. He seems to be trying to climb over me. Brother, this time, he's too biased!"

Du Mengdong was slightly stunned when he took the drink, and unconsciously slowed down by half a beat.

Then he took the drink like a normal person and poured it for the dragon crossing the river. He said with a smile: "Second brother, why do you have to be angry with that Qiu Yan? No matter what, you are still the second in charge of the Yizi Sect. He Qiu Yan."

Yanzhu Potian is just a hall leader, how can he threaten your position?"

"Second Master? It's just a pleasant name. Now that I'm in the Yizimen position, I'm just embarrassed. The eldest brother has long been divorced from me. Third brother, tell the truth to the second brother. The eldest brother held a meeting a few days ago.

In the sect meeting, before we come up with those thirty-six oaths, are we angry with you?"

"No, I only found out what the elder brother was going to say on the day of the meeting, and I was shocked."

"Is this true?"

"Of course I am serious, second brother, we are brothers who kowtow to each other on the ground. You and I will always be of the same mind."

Guo Jianglong looked at Du Mengdong's eyes seriously, and after looking at them for a long time, he said decisively: "Then he doesn't even trust you anymore. Meng Yi, Qiu Yan, Jin Hai, he is hiring new people now.

It’s about dividing the power between us brothers.”

"This...should not be the case."

As he spoke, Du Mengdong opened the food box brought by Dragon Crossing the River, took out the food one by one, and set up a table: "Hey, Turtle Skirt, I really like this. What kind of wine is this? I don't know how."

Let’s go to Liyan. Although this Liyan wine is good, it is fruit wine after all. I have been drinking it recently, it is sour and sweet, but it is a bit too boring."

Dragon Crossing the River smiled and said: "The golden silk wine from Kaifeng is a good thing."

"Hahaha, it seems that you understand me, second brother."

"Third brother, if you believe me, please give me accurate information. What do you think about Qiu Yan? He is an outsider and snatches bad people from your hands. Are you going to tolerate it like this?

?”

"If I can't bear it, what else can I do?"

"Brother, if you want to kill him, my second brother can help you and make sure everything is done cleanly. They say that Qiu Yan is the number one master in Yangzhou City, but I don't believe it. He has a pair of iron fists and can

We beat some good guys."

"I will definitely not touch him. Second brother, if you listen to my advice, it is better not to touch him."

"Why? Third brother, the bad guy has agreed to be under your control. Now he is cutting you off. He is only hurting your face, and the biggest loss is your interests. Are you still afraid of him?"

Hearing this, Du Mengdong took a sip of wine, slowly placed the empty cup in his hand and turned it several times, and unconsciously took a deep look at the dragon crossing the river.

He knew that although his second brother looked rough and arrogant, in fact, underneath his insidious and ruthless methods, he might not be less thoughtful than himself, and he was a bold and careful person.

The reason why he wanted to get rid of Qiu Yan was definitely not because Qiu Yan stole his limelight and threatened his status.

In fact, as the Dragon Crossing the River said, Qiu Yan's wave of attacks was really not aimed at him. Dragon Crossing the River's interests were hardly harmed by the matter in the Penal Hall, and his own

This is when the real damage is great.

It is obvious that the Dragon Crossing the River wants to kill Qiu Yan not because he is dissatisfied with him, but because he is doing something for himself. And the reason why he wants to get rid of Qiu Yan for himself is not because of the so-called brotherhood.

On the contrary, it is purely to drag yourself into a trap.

It's a simple truth. Qiu Yan's martial arts is very high. It will never be a simple matter to kill him. He must make some noise. No matter how sophisticated the plan is, will the Yangzhou government be able to kill him by then?

The murderer is not known, but Black Heart Bear will definitely be able to find the murderer.

I can't hide this.

Besides...it's very possible that this dragon crossing the river doesn't want to hide it at all.

He just wanted to unite himself to put pressure on his elder brother.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Du Mengdong said: "Second brother, please listen to my brother's advice and don't touch this person Qiu Yan. The origin of this person is not simple, and there is a big cause and effect involved behind it. The eldest brother will kill this person."

You are blatantly joining the Yizi Sect. After all, your goals are huge, so you must not ruin the big thing. Besides, if you really kill him, even if the elder brother wants to protect you, you must pay for it with his life."

"So that's it, Tiance Mansion?"

"Second brother guessed it?"

"Your second brother, I'm not a fool. I already had my doubts during the Yangzhou Rebellion, but...when did you and your eldest brother get involved with Tiance Mansion? For such an important matter, you two alone

Isn't it too unjust to hide it from me?"

"Second brother, you have misunderstood. Speaking of which, among the three brothers, I was the first one to come into contact with Tiance Mansion. That was many years ago. I admire their heroic demeanor and I once helped them a little.
