In the fifteenth year of Yongtai, in a certain river basin of Takishui.

In the early morning, a cargo ship, which was not big or small, was drifting on the river.

The water flow under the ship is very smooth, but the situation on the ship is surging.

The sound of weapons colliding and the sound of people shouting and killing comes one after another.

There were more than 30 people on both sides of the battle, and they seemed to be quite lively, but in fact the strength gap between the two sides was very different. The stronger group of people almost fought with the other party holding weapons in bare hands, but as they fought, the weapons were all taken away by them.

And what was taken away with the weapons were also fresh lives...

As blood splashed out dyed the deck red, the battle came to an end.

There were fifteen people in the defeated side, almost completely destroyed, leaving only the last strong man. Although he was knocked to the ground and covered in blood, he still screamed desperately to avenge others.

Unfortunately, the reality in front of you cannot be changed by momentum and determination.

Soon, the only survivor was captured by three or four people. After a rope tied up, he was taken to a man in white.

"What's your name?"

The man in white who was questioning looked like he was in his fifties, and his every move showed the majesty and indifference of the superior.

"Bah! If you want to kill, you will kill! What's the matter?" And the strong man not only did not answer the other party's questions, but also spat at the other party's feet without fear.

  Pa—

The next second, the strong man was slapped heavily by the person pressing him on the side.

"Oh~ Forget it." The man in white waved his hand and signaled his subordinates not to hit him again, and said to the strong man again, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not, because I have known what you are called for a long time." He paused, "I not only know your name, but I also know all the fourteen lying on the ground."

Hearing this, the strong man snorted coldly: "Hmph... So, you have already set your sights on us?"

At this moment, in the heart of this strong man, he thought that the other party was "eating black".

but……

"I'm not just staring at you." The next sentence of the man in white changed his view, "but 'everyone'."

The strong man was not stupid. He thought about this for a while and then realized: "Are you from the government?"

"Okay, smart." The man in white nodded, "Then I won't be swaying with you anymore. Simply put... today, I will save your life, so that you can explain it clearly to other small fish and shrimps selling private salt on this waterway. If you want to do this business, go to the government to get the "salt gull" by yourself, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his words, and he didn't need to finish his words.

The fourteen corpses on the ground have already been told for him.

"Nonsense!" But the strong man immediately said angrily, "If we can get the 'salt lead', who would have taken the risk? It's not that the local state officials are greedy and want too much, which forces us to have no way out and can only defect to the Green Forest!"

The situation he said was very realistic, but also helpless.

There are countless corrupt officials in the big era, and even if there is any anti-corruption work in that era, it will be progressing very slowly. Generally speaking, as long as the officials do not do too much during their term of office, they will only force some people to death, not all of them, and they can basically survive until the next time they are transferred.

In recent years, their group of salt vendors in Luoding area have just happened to meet a state official who was attacking their ranks, making a big fuss about "salt quotations" and getting bribes.

Large groups like the Salt Gang can naturally cope with this situation because they have cooperated with the government across the country, but there is no big problem in some places. If it really doesn't work, they can also let some larger officials who have been "handled" by themselves to help them coordinate.

However, ordinary small vendors do not have the ability, so they were cut off from their way to make a living and could only become bandits, find some water bandits in Green Forest Road to cooperate and form private gangs.

"I can't control this." The man in white didn't sympathize with the strong man, but replied coldly, "Would you be arrested or change your career for a few years? You can choose it yourself."

The strong man seemed dissatisfied and shouted again: "It's all transporting private salt on the same river. Why don't you care about the boats under the surname Hao? They are also Green Forest Road?"

"Hehe..." The man in white smiled, "You said Hao Jingyu?" He paused for a moment and continued, "We have already negotiated with him, and he is 'toward the court'."

The strong man's voice became even higher: "I can talk too! I can also go to the court!"

The man in white looked at him, was silent for two seconds, and continued: "What is your identity? Hao Jingyu is the person who said the "Cangdu Gang". In a few years, he might be the boss of the Green Forest Road and Water Road... What about you? Why do you talk to 'us'?"
