The streets of Jinmen were in chaos. Wang Ziteng was protected by a group of soldiers at the core, while the streets were chaotic and disorderly on the outside.
His face was livid, and he looked at the arrow on the ground, his expression full of cold murderous intent.
It was obvious that it was a processed arrow, otherwise it would not have been noticed when it flew less than three meters in front of him, and it still could not completely break through the defense line around him.
But how many times has this been assassinated?
The third assassination in just ten days was simply heartbreaking.
I couldn't help but feel a little heavy in my heart. The revenge methods of Caobang or Caoyun Yamen were so cruel?
Every time, it was a sneak attack with long-range arrows. He was not given any chance to catch people and follow the clues. He was extremely cautious.
Sure enough, after the chaos ended, the soldiers on the outside found nothing.
"Go back to the Yamen!"
Wang Ziteng sneered and said, he is not an easy person, just a long-range sniper attack would not make him panic.
Not to mention the strength of the Wang family guards around me, the guards sent by Jia Rong not long ago are even more elite among the elite.
Wearing soft armor, as long as you are not directly attacked by heavy objects, trying to snipe through the armor from a distance is just a dream.
It’s just that it’s not a problem to be beaten passively all the time!
"Dong Weng, should we find a middleman to make peace?"
Returning to the heavily guarded Daotai Yanmen, several close aides came to greet him.
Seeing that Wang Ziteng was indeed safe and sound, one of them couldn't help but say: "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?"
"Over time, no matter how complete the protection is, loopholes will appear!"
"Dong Weng's daughter has a bright future. If she gets hurt at the hands of Jiang Huxiao, it will be unworthy of her!"
These words made Wang Ziteng want to roll his eyes.
If he could make peace, he wouldn't mind making a little concession.
After all, he had completely mastered Jinmen at this time, and it was naturally nothing to show a little benefit from the cracks of his fingers to get rid of the chaos of Caobang.
But the key point is that the Cao Gang has issued a dark red letter, and there is also a so-called Jianghu pursuit order, using the position of the Jinmen branch helmsman to lure the gang's elite to take action.
Otherwise, how could a smart Jiang Hu Cao Mang really keep an eye on him as a royal official?
No, the so-called dark red, and the Jianghu fatwa, don't have clear names. Even the Cao Gang doesn't dare to openly say that they want to kill officials!
If he really made the imperial court angry, he would not stop easily without killing a lot of people, and the senior officials of the Caogang were obviously on guard against this move.
But the bargaining chips they offered were quite attractive. At least many of the gang's best players were moved, otherwise Wang Ziteng wouldn't have been assassinated three times in ten days.
Being the helmsman of the Jinmen branch, this is a pretty good benefit.
With the large-scale construction and development of Jinmen, any fool can see that Jinmen may at least develop into a commercial city.
The weight of a commercial city's helmsman and the resources he can command are not limited even if they are placed within Caobang.
I heard that those powerful and ruthless people in the Cao Gang who have great names but no real power are also interested in competition.
It is obvious that the Caogang top brass have the intention of "killing chickens to scare the monkeys".
Otherwise, if the governments along the thousand-mile-long Grand Canal follow suit, the Caobang's losses will be really great.
Is it possible that they, just a gang, really dare to rise up?
Among other things, the top gang leaders and elite members who have purchased countless fertile fields and many luxury homes in their hometown have absolutely no such intentions.
Even if he wanted to assassinate Wang Ziteng, the method would be relatively simple.
It's not that Caobang doesn't have more ruthless and cruel methods, it's just that they don't dare to use them.
Apart from anything else, close-quarters assassination is more effective and more likely to achieve the goal, but Caobang Caomang has never done this. There is naturally a reason.
Taken together, this at least shows that there is no possibility of letting go between the two families in a short time.
Wang Ziteng understood the situation inside, and it was also the most critical time for him. Although he was not in a good mood, he did not really think about easing the relationship with Caobang.
To put it bluntly, at this time, he was not qualified to talk to the other party on an equal footing.
Among the four major families in Jinling, only Jia Rong and Lin Ruhai of Ning Mansion have such qualifications, and the two princes of the Shi family are almost interested.
If he cannot become a member of the third-grade high-ranking officials as soon as possible, this kind of trouble will not be easy to solve, and the Wang family's own energy will not be counted on at all.
Regardless of gossip, Wang Ziteng didn't even need to open his mouth. The other staff directly asked how they could talk to Caobang without being given a chance.
If others don't give us a chance, can't we take the initiative to create it?
The staff member who was the first to speak vowed: "With Dong Weng's current strength, is it not easy to support a Caobang branch helmsman?"
"Once the Jinmen branch of the Caobang is reestablished, the conflict between Dongweng and the Caobang can be completely transferred to the Jinmen branch. After all, is the cause also caused by the actions of the branch?"
"At that time, the branch was rebuilt with Dong Weng's help. The other party had to give Dong Weng face no matter what. Wouldn't the matter be solved easily?"
After hearing these words, Wang Ziteng and the rest of the staff were dumbfounded and exclaimed in their hearts, what a guy, how can things still be done like this?
But Wang Ziteng is an out-and-out powerful creature, willing to try anything that can benefit him, regardless of the side effects.
Although the suggestions provided by his staff were a bit whimsical, he still took the initiative and tried them out.
But he didn't expect that his attempt to eliminate the danger would cause quite a stir within the Caobang.
If that staff member could make such a suggestion, it is obvious that this guy has a secret connection with the Cao Gang, and he may also have a pretty good relationship with a powerful person among them.
Otherwise, only a fool would give such an idea to the prince, and problems could easily arise.
Seeing that Wang Ziteng has a bright future, and as a staff member, he also has a great chance of becoming an official of the imperial court. He must be decent in his actions, but when making suggestions, he will never be easily involved.
But he didn't know that after Wang Ziteng started to try his suggestions, it caused quite a fierce internal fight within the Cao Gang.
Anyone who has ambitions to rise to the top is a ruthless character who wants to lick blood. They are all supported by big bosses. It is impossible for them to be honest and convinced.
According to the rules of the martial arts world, if you want to rise to the top, you have to kill all your opponents and stand out. As for whether you will be too cruel to the gang brothers, who cares...
