Chapter 453: Clues Exposed

The Cao Gang people handed over several people from the Yangzhou branch to the Huazhou fleet at sea. If it weren't for Huazhou's name and wanted to survive, the Cao Gang people would probably cut several people who caused trouble into pieces.

After being shipped to the sea boat, several people who were completely unconscious were transported to land by small boats at night. Because Jiang Feng asked for a living, even though it was a troublesome, the soldiers of the fleet in Huazhou still did what he asked.

With a headscarf on his face, several people from the Yangzhou branch of the Cao Gang were directly sent to the outskirts of Yangzhou. After pulling out the cloth covers covered outside, several former outlaws were so scared that they almost fainted. They knew this place, which was a chasing cemetery in Yangzhou City.

Those civilians are buried here. They are usually full of ghost spirits. They cannot even see any figures in Qingming Festival.

In front of them, in addition to incense, candles and wax offerings, there were also dozens of heads neatly placed in front of the grave. Although these heads looked extremely ferocious, they were familiar with these people to the leaders of the Yangzhou branch of the Cao Gang.

These people were clearly their subordinates. Seeing such a miserable ending from the people they were familiar with, and the big men around them holding weapons and murderous faces, this scene really made people feel cold all over. Before they were unconscious, they said that they had a great fortune and wanted to exchange for the survival of their lives, and even shouted at the top of their voice:

"Forget my life, I know that a great fortune is a hundred thousand taels of silver."

The soldiers standing there preparing to execute a punishment to pay tribute to their companions, after hearing the man's shouting, he was a little hesitant, and looked back at Feng Yong and Jiang Feng who were beside him. Jiang Feng asked the man to order:

"Save him, the others cut off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Feng's subordinates beheaded without hesitation. Seeing their companions struggling there, begging for mercy, or cursing with swear words, but they were overturned without any resistance, and then pressed in front of the grave and chopped off their heads with a knife.

The person who was left behind was lucky and more and more frightened. Jiang Feng walked slowly to him and squatted down, just in line with the kneeling person. Jiang Feng said leisurely:

"You are not lucky, it depends on the people around you who are still dying!"

When he heard this, he just felt that the leader of the Cao Gang who might have survived was cold all over his body. Fortunately, he was calm and forced to support himself and said:

"This is a wealth of 100,000 taels of silver. Kill me... and you can't get anything."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Feng grinned and said coldly:

"Tell me out the matter and give you a happy way to die, or you will remove the fragments of your body one by one."

After saying that, Jiang Feng took out a dagger in his hand and stabbed it hard on the leader's shoulder. The sudden huge pain immediately made the leader scream loudly. After a long time, he recovered with a heavy breath and a cold sweat. Looking at Jiang Feng with a lustful face, he understood that the other party was not joking with him and he could not allow him to hesitate. Jiang Feng had already reached out to pull the dagger.

"I know Deng Min, I know Deng Min's whereabouts. It is the 13th Chamber of Commerce that offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver. The Deng Min who captured him was hidden in Jinfeng Village by the Taihu Lake, but I don't know where it is."

After hearing this, Jiang Feng stood up, and the two guards behind him came over, raising their swords, which gave the man a pleasure.

After all the rituals were completed, Jiang Feng's guards poured tinder oil on the heads. Jiang Feng held the torch, looked at the new grave in front of him and spoke:

"The sacrifice of the lives of hundreds of people is enough. Within ten years, Jiang Feng will definitely erect a monument for the two brothers, so I feel wronged first."

After saying that, Jiang Feng threw the torch in his hand onto the head. The head of the nitrogen was poured with tinder oil, which was even more likely to burn. The fire suddenly started to burn. The guards and soldiers on both sides threw them on them with big bundles of firewood.

Make the flame burn more fully. Although it is a wilderness, more than one hundred people will cause a big storm. After burning, it will be over.

After Jiang Feng returned to the yard that Sanjiang Trading Company had placed him, he immediately issued an order asking people to prepare horses and carriages for him. Now the guards he brought with him, plus Feng Yong's group of veterans, totaling more than 80 people. When he came to Yangzhou in Shandong, he was on a boat on the way.

Yangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou and Songjiang are the richest prefectures in the world, and they have convenient and smooth roads between each other. If you are in a hurry at this time, horses will always be faster than ships.

More than 100 horses were very simple to buy for shops of the Sanjiang Trading Company. After two hours, the horses were ready and handed over to Jiang Feng and his men, and they were all suitable horses for riding.

As a business in the north, trafficking of horses to Jiangnan is also an important source of income for Sanjiang Trading Company. The Ming Dynasty was originally a horse seller, especially the control of military horse trafficking was strict. However, now, many rules are in name only and no one follows them.

Jiang Feng and his men took a brief rest and immediately headed towards Jinfeng Village. Deng Min was in Jinfeng Village by Taihu Lake, and this information was enough.

Because the Cao Gang was a big hornet's nest in Yangzhou, it was extremely careful in Yangzhou City. Especially in the Yangzhou branch of Sanjiang Trading Company, there were specially arranged people to stare at it. It was not that there were any bad intentions, but that there was something that he could react as soon as possible to avoid being caught off guard. Of course, this also means protecting. If Sanjiang Trading Company encounters any disturbing and messing things, it is really hard to explain it clearly.

Seeing more than a hundred tough men going out on horseback and staring at the Cao Gang people there, they immediately ran to report to their superiors.

The Cao Gang's staff in Yangzhou were almost wiped out by Jiangfeng. The newly sent staff from the Cao Gang were warned in advance, that is, be careful in everything and not offend people who should not offend, because the Yangzhou branch went out to loot in private, which has already made the people of the Thirteenth Chamber of Commerce extremely angry.

Be careful in everything. The newly sent person is also a meticulous character. Nearly a hundred people ride horses outside the city. For the people, this is not a small-scale mobilization. You must know that even a large gang like the Cao Gang can mobilize the battle at any time in a city.

Who knows what happened when more than 100 people were operating in the hinterland of Jiangnan? On the one hand, he arranged for people to go to the headquarter of Suzhou to report the news, and on the other hand, he arranged for people to go over and follow.

In order to hurry up, Jiang Feng's men hurriedly left the city without caring about any hidden traces. The people who were following the Cao Gang were hanging far behind, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Jinfengzhuang was originally a fishing village on the edge of Taihu Lake. It was just next to the official road. It originally had no name. Later, the business was prosperous, and some merchants opened woven handicraft workshops here. Because they were backed by Taihu Lake and connected to the official road, it was quite convenient for transportation. The business in this small village became more and more prosperous. I don’t know that it was the literati and poet who named it Jinfengzhuang. It was vaguely meaning that Chengdu was called "Jinguancheng" back then.

As business gradually develops, naturally, people with agility are opening businesses here to make money. Bills and brothels, inns and warehouses, carriages, etc. are all springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

There is another advantage here, which is precisely the junction between Suzhou Prefecture and several other prefectures. To put it bluntly, it is a place where three are not cared for, and the tax payment is also very light. Of course, this is also the reason why merchants choose to open their transactions here, because there is no government, and there is a mixture of dragons and snakes.

Therefore, it is natural for Deng Min to hide here, but there are a lot of people here, so it is not uncommon for Deng Min to leak into the hands of the Cao Gang.

In fact, Deng Min took one of his Changsu to Jinfengzhuang. He didn't know what the way, the Changsui actually knew that his master was worth 100,000 taels, so he ran to report the news. The person who received the news was the leader of the Yangzhou branch of the Cao Gang. This man was a cruel man. The huge sum of 100,000 taels of silver was also extremely coveted. The Changsui was about to wait for his fortune with joy, but was deceived by the leader of the Yangzhou branch to a secluded place to kill people to silence him.

The Cao Gang is a subordinate of the Thirteenth Chamber of Commerce. It is a matter of finding Deng Min's figure. Even if he finds it, there is no money to get. The leader of the branch wanted to know the news first, and then he would find some outsiders to capture it and make a fortune. Who would have thought that by chance, the news fell into Jiang Feng's ears.

While Jiang Feng and his group were resting in the tea shop halfway, the followers of the Cao Gang had already followed him. Some things were naturally convenient for him in his hometown.

After Jiang Feng and his group finished resting and set off again, the guy in the shop came over and the Cao Gang was following him. The guy who was following him threw a bunch of money. The guy immediately smiled and said:

"Just just now, those guests asked how to go to Jinfengzhuang in the tea shop. Some people were talking about Deng. Those northerners didn't understand what they said, they should be Deng Min."

The stalker nodded and was about to get on the horse and continue to follow. Halfway through, his movements suddenly stopped there, and he turned around in surprise and said:

"Deng Min, Deng Min?"
