Not to mention how the three people planned for a while, it will only be said that one day later, the second patrol team of the Fusi Division of Jing'an Taichung Town and the military attachés who were patrolling the six counties in Huaibei began to disperse.
Hu Yan, a black-sanded man, led a group of people to "escort" Chen Ling to his post in Dongdu;
Wang Daiji, a member of the Ministry of War, led the officials of the Ministry of War to the Longgang military camp to hold the military talisman. After Chen Ling's handover was completed, Dongdu sent a new general to take over;
However, Bai Yousi, who was the leader of the patrol group and relied on the greatest force, and Bai Shou Qiantang and a few people continued southward to patrol the Ruyin County area;
In the end, only Zhang Xing and Li Qingchen led seven or eight people to cross the Wushui River, and then followed the Huan River they had just passed, and went directly downstream into Huaikou, which is the Xucheng County area of Xiapi County...
Let us say that the Huan River starts from Chengfu and enters Huaikou. It passes through the eastern part of Qiao County, the southern part of Pengcheng County, and the southwestern part of Xiapi County, and finally flows into the Huai River.
Among them, the three Zuo brothers were born in Fuli County, northeast of the Huan River and south of Pengcheng. Their ancestors were already very famous for two or three generations. It is said that they often went south along the Huan River and then turned to the Huai River to trade salted fish, so they came to
His father's family was considered a serious and powerful one.
However, it was actually the three Zuo brothers of this generation who really made the Zuo family rise to prominence and become the top family on Huaibei Road.
The eldest, Zuo Caihou, is older. He has followed his father on business trips to the East China Sea and Huaibei since he was a child. He has a steady personality and a wide network of friends. He has the ability to stand alone very early and has gained some fame in both black and white. His salted fish business is also very good.
It went well, and the Zuo family was freed from the trouble of inheriting the family business.
And this also made his two brothers more immersed in practice.
Especially the second eldest son, Zuo Caijiang, has been recognized as a good practitioner since he was a child. He only worked hard in his hometown to cultivate the Zhengmai before he became an adult. As a result, he achieved Zhengmai at the age of twenty. Then he went to sea with his elder brother on a boat, but he was alone all year round.
Staying in coastal areas, it is said that they mostly swim around the sea.
According to rumors, about seven or eight years ago, one day, he was returning from the Demon Clan's North Island to Donghai County. On the way, he saw the sun rising in the east, the water above and below the water, and the separation of yin and yang. He, who had already cultivated enough, was shocked.
In the morning, he broke through the Ren meridian among the eight extraordinary meridians. But that's not all. At dusk, the boat he was on encountered another giant whale. At that time, the giant whale lay on its back and floated on the sea, like a corpse.
Normally, but when the ship approached, it suddenly turned over, kicked up huge waves, and sailed away with a long roar in the huge waves... That's right, Zuo Cai would get this opportunity and break through the Du Vein again at night.
The two channels of Ren and Du were connected in one day, and the future was brightened from then on. This story has also become a well-known story in Huaihe River.
Needless to say what happened later. Although Zuo Caijiang rarely returned to his hometown to work, he did not delay Zuo Caihou, the boss of the Zuo family. After his younger brother Ren Du's second pulse became clear, he took the opportunity to establish the Long Whale Gang, and his business grew bigger and bigger.
, and five or six years ago, they suddenly completely abandoned other businesses, worked hard to unify the transportation industry in Huanshui and the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, and then naturally took over the official business of Huanshui.
You know, there are heroes all over the Huaihe River, and the water transportation and salted fish business support countless experts. How can everyone be convinced by such a huge profit market, Zuo Boss, who wants to monopolize it? However, how many people dared to compete with the Long Whale Gang at that time?
In this gang, there were at least four gang leaders. Suddenly, they encountered a pre-announced assassination by a master of condensation who called himself Ziwu Sword, and all of them succeeded quickly, including a long-established master of the same condensation realm.
Although that person never showed up and left no other traces beyond the copybook, after four powerful, cunning, or prestigious gang leaders died in ten days, only two gang leaders with backgrounds remained untouched, so Huaishang naturally
Everyone knows that this is the time when the second son of the Zuo family has reached the Dan Ning state and is about to reap the benefits of Huanshui and Huaishang business for the family.
Therefore, the remaining two people with backgrounds also gave in, took the initiative to talk to Boss Zuo, and officially merged into the Long Whale Gang.
From then on, the name of Ziwu Sword Zuocaijiang was resounding throughout Huaishang.
As for the third child, Zuo Caixiang, he is definitely incomparable to his second brother, but his own cultivation progress cannot be said to be bad. When his second brother had access to the second line of Ren and Du, he had already become an adult when he was just an adult.
He is capable of sixty-seven points of the True Meridian, but he actually no longer imitates his elder brother and devotes himself to practice, nor does he follow his elder brother around the world. Instead, he joins the public and becomes a street-cleaning tiger in Jiangdu County.
Then it was time to use money to make money, to hone qualifications to hone qualifications, and to make meritorious deeds. However, it happened to be the second year after his second brother had achieved great success in condensing the elixir and the Ziwu Sword resounded across Huaishang, and it was also the year after his eldest brother established the Long Whale Gang.
In the fourth year, with his cultivation of Zhengmai Dzogchen, he was transferred to Xiapi County where the Huan River flows into Huaikou as the local black shou.
As mentioned before, his family is from Pengcheng County next door, so it is in line with the rules to serve in Xiapi.
It's just that it's been a long time, I've been staying in Xiapi for almost four or five years.
But in this case, it is no wonder that the power of the Long Whale Gang has moved from the Huan River to the upper reaches of the Huai River, and is almost impregnable.
"Zhang Baishou, Li Baishou, didn't expect to see each other again so soon? I heard the petition persuaded you to come over, so I came here early to welcome you."
In Xucheng County, Xiapi, which is still ten miles away from the market at the mouth of the Huan River, Zhang Xing and his party met Zuo Caihou, the leader of the Changjing Gang, who led dozens of people.
There was a horse waiting for him on the side of the road. It was impossible to ignore him, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to have no idea what Zhang Xing's purpose was. He just heard the reports from the gang upstream.
Seeing this shape and hearing these words, Li Qingchen snorted coldly and simply refused to dismount. His arrogance was obvious.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, got off his horse and greeted him with a smile, but did not return the favor: "Leader Zuo, although we only met last month, we have been separated for many years!"
Zuo Caihou was startled for a moment before realizing what he meant, but he smiled bitterly and handed over his hand: "Zhang Baishou, I am a coolie, how can I understand this? If you have something to say, you might as well be honest, so that I can understand you better."
Zhang Xing laughed loudly, stepped forward to grab the other person, and responded calmly:
"Okay, let's talk about it first... To be honest with the Zuo gang leader, this time our second patrol team went out to inspect the six counties in Huaibei. We were mainly ordered to investigate the local officials, powerful people, and whether the gangs are colluding and preying on the common people.
, endangering the local area. In Longgang a few days ago, General Chen Lingchen went too far and monopolized the business of the metasequoia forest. This angered the inspection team at my home, so he was sent to the northwest to guard the desert with a transfer order.
...Do you know about this?"
Zuo Caihou, who was holding his arms, responded seriously: "I heard that there is such a thing, but we..."
"So, Leader Zuo, you have to be extra cautious, energetic, and energetic this time." Zhang Xing grabbed the other party's arm and didn't allow him to continue talking. He just reminded him sincerely.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass our test...especially since Li Twelve Lang, who is about to come from a famous family and has a bad temper, has long recognized that there is something seriously wrong with your Whale Gang."
Li Qingchen snorted coldly but did not refute.
Zuo Caihou also changed his expression slightly, and many of the strange warriors behind him were also noisy. However, as the former looked back, the latter finally became quiet again.
At this time, the leader of the Long Whale Gang just turned around, glanced at Li Qingchen, continued to hold Zhang Xing's hand, and said seriously: "I hope Zhang Baishou will give you more kind words."
"Of course you have to count on me." Zhang Xing responded jokingly. "After dealing with Chen Ling, my inspection team went to Ruyin area, and the deputy inspector Hu returned to Dongdu. Now you have two of us here.
A man with a white ribbon makes the decision... You just said that you want me to be honest, so I will give you an honest word now... Gang Leader Zuo, your Whale Gang has fallen into my hands this time."
After saying that, Zhang Xing patted the back of the other person's hand, then showed two rows of big white teeth to look at the other person.
When Zuo Caihou heard the last sentence, his heart jumped suddenly. He tried hard to laugh a few times, but he couldn't laugh when he met the other person's eyes and teeth. There was no way. After what happened at the end of last year, Zhang Sanlang tried his best to drive the tiger across the river.
His deeds resounded throughout Huaishang. As the person most recently at stake, how could he not know that this seemingly kind-hearted person might be the most difficult one to deal with?
Twelve points of energy, his boss Zuo wished he could get twenty points of energy.
"Okay, just kidding." Zhang Xing noticed that his muscles were tense, but let go, and then turned back to his horse and said. "The last time I came to Xiapi Xucheng, I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't see the scenery on Huaihe River at all.
, Now that I’m back, it’s spring, let’s go to Huanshuikou together to have a good look at the youth of Huaihe River.”
Zuo Caihou quickly shuddered and made an invitation gesture.
Zhang Xing had just turned on his horse and was about to ride alongside Zuo Caihou and others. On the other side, Li Qingchen snorted again and led a patrolman to beat the horse ahead.
Everyone was surprised for a moment, but Zhang Xing just laughed, and then he, Qin Bao, Zhou Xingfan and other patrol riders, followed Zuo Caihou and other gangs, accelerated to catch up with Li Qingchen, and then rode together towards Huanshuikou.
When he arrived at Huanshuikou, Zhang Xing took a closer look at this large and somewhat oversized ferry market. He saw only the outer perimeter with numerous courtyard walls, among which could be vaguely seen towers and pavilions. It was obviously a separate courtyard for the rich. Beyond the first floor of the low wall
, once inside, there are countless wine shops, shops, and brothels... which is also amazing.
You must know that this place is quite far from the county seat of Xucheng County. It is a transportation town that has just emerged based on the prosperity of water transportation at Huanshuikou and the presence of the chief helmsman of the Changjing Gang.
"Zhang Baishou, Li Baishou."
When we got here, the atmosphere calmed down a bit and everyone slowed down. Zuo Caihou saw that Li Qingchen and Zhang Xing were looking at the scenery, and finally took the opportunity to say a few words. "Not to mention tens of thousands of trackers, this is the Huankou
The town has a population of 20,000 to 30,000, and it is all maintained by our Long Whale Gang. We really..."
"Then what do you, the Long Whale Gang, rely on to sustain you?" Before Zhang Xing could speak, Li Qingchen, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked with a sneer.
"Uh..." Zuo Caihou instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Do you want to rely on divine grace?" Li Qingchen slowed down his horse slightly, turned around and asked.
"Of course it is necessary." Zuo Caihou responded helplessly.
"Should we rely on the careful management of the country by the Dukes of Nanya?" Li Twelve Lang continued to ask.
"This is natural." The Zuo gang leader was embarrassed and could only lower his head and hurry on.
"Do you want to rely on the fire consumption of dozens of counties in the south every autumn and spring?" Li Baishou still did not let the other party go.
"Inevitable..." Boss Zuo was already extremely embarrassed.
"Do you want to rely on us people to run around and eradicate the Mangdang Mountain and Jishan bandits for you?" At this moment, Zhang Xing, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke regardless of the other party's embarrassment, and even raised his voice. "Boss Zuo, you
Don’t say that you don’t know who deserves the credit for this?”
Hearing this, not only Boss Zuo immediately raised his head in awe, but also the many high-ranking gang members behind him who were getting angry and even winking at each other suddenly became solemn.
Even Li Qingchen, who suddenly became angry, took a long breath and shut up when he heard this.
But Zhang Xing calmed down the two sides who were gradually becoming stiff, and stopped continuing the topic. He just laughed again: "To be honest, Boss Zuo, although Li Twelve Lang has a more arrogant temperament, he asked a few questions.
That's right... In my opinion, even if I don't talk about the above, I just say that in your whale gang, the real effort is the tens of thousands of trackers, isn't it? As a result, people can work for a whole day, but you only give them ten
I only have a small amount of money, and then I lead my gang to eat and drink in this fancy world all day long, and I don’t know where the money comes from, so how can I maintain the Fa?”
Not to mention those gang members, Zuo Caihou could only swallow his anger and nodded repeatedly: "Zhang Baishou is right, you are right!"
At this time, Xiao Zhou, who was following behind, could not hold back and lowered his voice to remind: "Brother Zhang... I am not a whale gang."
Zhang Xing suddenly understood, nodded quickly, and raised his hand to Zuo Caihou.
Boss Zuo immediately responded: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
It was extremely frustrating.
While talking, everyone did not go directly to the ferry, but stopped in front of the huge and majestic building complex of the Long Whale Gang. The buildings here have overlapping eaves and overlapping corners. There is also a special open space in front of the door. The market next to it is crowded.
, and no one dared to come and occupy it, which seemed to symbolize the strength, financial resources and reputation of this gang.
And when they arrived here, the number of people was several times that of those who greeted them on the roadside. Many elites from the gang were arranged one by one according to their rank, seniority, and cultivation level. There were even local businessmen who came to sell their faces, and even local old men who came to offer special services.
The wine made it lively and colorful.
When Li Qingchen saw this situation, he mocked in public and went in first with a patrolman. However, Zhang Xinghao was not polite and went forward. Following the guidance and instructions of Boss Zuo, he drank and applauded.
, and also for condolences.
After a lot of trouble, Boss Zuo seemed to realize that Zhang Baishou was a face-conscious person, so he responded to his wishes and invited the other party to come on stage and say a few words in public.
Zhang Xing didn't feel embarrassed at all, and jumped onto a stage in front of the gang, and everyone handed him over, and the scene quickly became quiet under the pressure of the local gang.
"Dear fellow villagers." Zhang Xing put down his hands, circulated his Qi, and spoke loudly. "Today is a beautiful spring day. We are lucky enough to meet each other, so I won't talk nonsense. In fact, the imperial court sent me, Zhang Xing and Zhang Sanlang, to inspect this place.
For three things, one is to fight against gangs and eliminate evil, the other is to hoe the strong and help the weak, and the third is to avenge grievances! If you have any grievances or have been bullied, just come to this whale... Come to this killer whale to help me find an excuse.
Okay, I, Zhang Sanlang, am right here, waiting for you together with the leader of the Left Gang of the Killer Whale Gang! I will definitely bring peace and prosperity to Huankou Town!"
After saying that, Zhang Xing handed over everyone again, turned around and walked into the lobby of the Long Whale Gang.
Boss Zuo and others were stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
After entering the lobby, Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment because Li Qingchen, who came in first, actually sat directly on the center seat. When Zhang Xing and Zuo Lao Da led several senior members of the gang in, they could only stand awkwardly with their hands tied.
"Boss Zuo." Li Twelve Lang suddenly changed his expression when he saw Zuo Caihou. "As you can see, today's matter is handled by me and Zhang Sanlang. Zhang Sanlang travels all over the country and is used to dealing with you people, but
I was born in the Jingzhaofang of the Li family in Hongshan, and I am from a first-class famous family, but I am too lazy to make excuses with you... Let me tell you clearly, if your third son comes over, I can still give him some face; if your second son comes over, I will give him some face.
I will discuss it openly with him and we can get along easily; but you, a rich man selling salted fish and a low-level gang leader, how can you have the face to play courteous first and then attack with me?! Zhang Sanlang personally experienced the incident in Mangdang Mountain, Jing'an
Taiwanese Prime Minister Cao Zhongcheng personally declared that Chen Ling and your Chang Whale Gang are ‘death-worthy’ and asked us to make a special trip to sweep them away. Do you think you can escape?!”
After saying that, Li Twelve stood up and walked away, but he pointed to one person and asked him to make accommodation arrangements.
There were no less than twenty or thirty people in the hall, starting from the eldest brother Zuo, who had just come in together. No matter what they thought before coming in, they were laughing and joking on the surface, which was always right. When they came in and were showered with this basin of ice water, they were instantly frozen to the bone.
.
However, as I said before, everyone below Zuo Boss is just a gangster. Who doesn't know that Li Twelve Lang is just from a famous family, he is young and arrogant, and looks down on them. The one who really has the means is still the one who looks blank in the hall.
Zhang Baishou?
For a moment, everyone had different expressions. They just went to see Boss Zuo, and Boss Zuo could only bite the bullet and look at Zhang Xing: "Zhang Baishou, is what Li Baishou said true?"
Zhang Xing came back to his senses, spread his hands, and asked seriously: "So you are the Long Whale Gang, not the Whale Gang, and not the Killer Whale Gang? Why didn't you remind me outside the door before? How bad is this?"
Boss Zuo could only lick his dry lips.
