Chapter 111: Killing Whales (3)(1/2)
The Spring Festival Gala was filled with wind, and the water vapor on the Huai River rolled up.
In Huankou Town, Xucheng County, Xiapi County, there are many towers and lights, and in addition to the so-called "three-story building" where you can see the scenery on Huaihe River from a distance, there are at least forty or fifty elite martial arts masters who are closely arranged around and wander around to observe.
But for some reason, these people were always anxious when they were handing over their shifts occasionally, and even some vulgar words came from time to time.
"Is this protection or surveillance?"
A patrolman looked by the window on the second floor for a while, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but complain. "The door downstairs was full of people, and it was so messy that he had to follow him when going to the toilet."
"All of them are."
Qin Bao said slowly while pouring tea.
"They are afraid that we will break away from control and find extra trouble, and they are afraid that something will happen to us will not be able to explain it at all... However, this matter is very clear. Although Boss Zuo is the boss of the three brothers, and although the Chang Whale Gang is the fundamental purpose of this trip, he is the least responsible. The third brother of the Zuo family can only offer conditions, and the second brother of the Zuo family can only make an explanation... It's like... let's wait with peace of mind."
"It's better what Brother Qin said."
When the patrolman heard this, he quickly praised... "And he was very arrogant, just pretending that those people outside were nothing."
Many people around him responded, obviously when Zhang Xing and Li Qingchen were on the third floor, they regarded Qin Bao as the leader of this place.
There is no way, gold will shine everywhere. Qin Bao is no longer a young man from the countryside who needed to find Zhang Xing to do psychological construction during the same period last year. During this year, his character and progress in his cultivation have almost made all his colleagues look at him with admiration.
Everyone also believes that this young man has a bright future.
In fact, outside the patrol team, other people in Jing'an Taichung talked about the second patrol team, and they once had the nickname of the Four Horses under Baihuang's Sect, referring to Qian Tang, Li Qingchen, Qin Bao and Zhang Xing.
But unfortunately, this statement only appeared for a moment and quickly disappeared.
The first thing that everyone privately despised was that Li Qingchen did not suppress his patience and asked his own cousin. After Zhang Xing was promoted to Bai Shou, he quickly added Bai Shou.
This is very dissatisfied with the public.
It is not that bribery is looked down upon, nor that it is looked down upon by family power, but that with Li Qingchen's cultivation, merits and qualifications, he can be promoted properly only after waiting for another half a year. It is impossible for someone to stop him. He did not encounter any difficulties, but he could not hold back because of Zhang Sanlang's promotion, which fell into his heart and mind.
Secondly, Zhang Xing's jumped up.
Zhang Sanlang's extraordinaryness has long been said, but his qualifications are too low and he can always get along with everyone, especially when he is good at dividing money. In addition, his background is too low, which makes everyone so confused that he is unwilling to make him very special.
It was not until after Mangdang Mountain that the Zhongcheng said "The Dragon-killer" in person that his colleagues in Taichung seemed to suddenly come to their senses and suddenly realized that this person was extraordinary.
In this world, it is not only about cultivation, but also about family background, region, talent, personality, morality, and knowledge. Therefore, this led to Zhang Sanlang suddenly surpassing the safest Qian Tang, which led to the situation where four horses all emerged and took the lead.
"Boss Zuo, when will your third brother come?"
In the south pavilion on the third floor, Zhang Xing stopped blowing the air, turned around and sat back to the table. Opposite the table was the boss Zuo of the Chang Whale Gang.
"He won't arrive in the middle of the night."
It was almost in the secret room, and Boss Zuo was simply. "However, Zhang Baishou, I know that my third brother is here to make a deal with you and ask for an explanation, but I am his elder brother after all. No matter what I say, they must listen to what they are... Can't we talk about first?"
"No, no, no, it's not that I can't talk to Boss Zuo." Zhang Xing explained while pouring tea for the two of them. "The reason why I have to wait for Ling is because I am afraid that Ling is not understanding the situation and cannot come to come tonight, forcing us to use family rules... Even if he is the Hei Shou of Jingjiehu, he must be a subordinate of Jing'antai, and he must understand the rules... Your third brother is not a fool who doesn't understand the rules, right?"
"No matter whether it is or not." Boss Zuo paused for a moment, and then he gradually lost his compassionate attitude in the daytime. "When I heard the news, I immediately sent him a quick horse and asked him to come overnight. If he didn't come, he would be pretending that he would not be the elder brother... At that time, there would be no need for Jing'antai expert law, and I would first exert the master law to drive him out of Fu Li Zuo's family."
Zhang Xing nodded, pushed a cup of tea over, and sat down: "Okay, I will believe Boss Zuo for a while and talk to you first. But where should we start? Mangdang Mountain or Donghai, or Huanshuikou, Jing'antai?"
"From Mangdang Mountain." Boss Zuo said seriously. "I heard some people say that things were at the beginning... In the final analysis, our situation was caused by the bandits in Mangdang Mountain covering up the water before the New Year, so I will talk about it from there."
"Yes, everything must be first." Zhang Xing nodded in agreement. "Today's situation is indeed impossible to escape Mangdang Mountain... What is Zuo Boss going to say about Mangdang Mountain?"
"Zhang Baishou, I have to be honest." Zuo Caihou responded seriously. "Although our Changjing Gang is an official business, it is a gang after all. All the ancestral families have to make friends with each other. It is inevitable that we will know some people of varying quality. Maybe we were also a law-abiding person when we met him at that time, but in the end we became thieves... It's like Yang Shen was the first famous sect in the world back then, so didn't he suddenly rebel? Should we pursue the matter of the court's reuse of him that day? So I think that some people on the mountain had had contact with our Changjing Gang, which did not mean anything, and we could not determine whether we had collusion with the mountain or robbery because of one-sided words. Zhang Baishou, is there any reason for you to say this?"
Zhang Xing actually nodded: "It makes sense."
"I wonder what you said about Mangdang Mountain?" Zuo Caihou responded seriously.
"It's very simple." Zhang Xing spread his hands to answer. "I have seen Lou Huan on Mangdang Mountain. Lou Huan personally told me in public that he was sent by several masters of the Zuo family, and instructed the people in Mangdang Mountain to intercept the grain, that is, to intercept us, and your Zuo family... I believed his one-sided words, and inspector Bai believed my one-sided words, and uncle Cao believed Bai's one-sided words."
Zuo Caihou let out a long breath and suppressed his emotions before continuing to say: "Zhang Baishou... Lou Huanren is dead!"
"I know, I know." Zhang Xing looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the other party was angry. "That's why the court sent us here to have tea and talk with you, and did not directly send a large army to clear the attack... Do you think Chen Ling didn't tell us when he was in Chengfu when he was in Chengfu, and he wanted to lead troops to clear out your Zuo family? And how is it spread on the Jianghuai Road now? Did you mean that the three Zuo brothers and Chen Ling completely surrendered to the court and sold many heroes from the Jianghuai, Central Plains, and East?"
Zuo Caihou responded in a quiet voice.
"Would you still want to talk about the private salts in the East China Sea, and other smuggling along the Huai River to the Dongyi and the demon clan North Island? Do you want to talk about your kingship and dominance in Huankou Town, with thousands of good players and tens of thousands of boatmen, just like a country in the middle of the country? Do you want to talk about Jing'antai already regards you as a thorn in your side? You Zuo brothers have been registered as the number one master today?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.
When Zuo Caihou heard the last sentence, his eyelids twitched violently, but he still held his energy to smile: "What's the point of saying this? Why don't we three brothers give all the accumulated money to a few, then disband the Changjing Gang, then tied up his hands and asked Zhang Baishou to send us to the black prison in Jing'antai, and be suppressed by Emperor Cao for the rest of his life."
"Do you also know the black prison in Jing'antai?" Zhang Xing was a little surprised.
"There is a brother from Ningdan who knows a little bit of the explanation." Zuo Caihou tried hard to laugh again.
"That's right." Zhang Xing also smiled.
"What's right?" Zuo Caihou was puzzled for a moment.
"Talking about the method." Zhang Xing sighed. "Boss Zuo, since you have not lost your etiquette throughout the whole process, I will teach you a good lesson today..."
Zuo Caihou was stunned, but he was helpless.
"Just said that everything must have a first and a finale, what about that person? If I ask me, as long as I am a man, a group of people, including the Chang Whale Gang, and the Fu Li Zuo family, they must be both internal and external as well as face."
While drinking tea, Zhang Xing inexplicably remembered the years when he collected money to write a movie review. "Face, from establishing a gang to small one, from holding someone for a cup of tea, the inner world would have to kill many people... On the other hand, since many people had died in the inner world, the face could be easily established... It was like when Ziwu Jian became famous, four gang leaders died. Will everyone give you face?"
Zuo Caihou was still frowning at the beginning, but when he heard it, he sighed: "This is the reason."
"It's the same now." Zhang Xing put down his teacup and pointed his finger at himself. "The Zuo family sent someone to Mangdang Mountain to make trouble, but it was easily resolved by our Jing'antai Second Survey Team, and killed thousands of lives. This is our inner world... That's why you swallow your anger today and the arrogance and rudeness of our Jing'antai. You don't think so?"
Zuo Caihou did not dare to say anything.
Zhang Xing pushed the cold tea in front of the other party again and signaled: "Left Gangmaster...drink tea!"
Zuo Caihou was silent for a moment, picked it up and drank it all.
Zhang Xing watched the other party finish drinking, and then continued to put his arms on the table and sighed: "But, the inner world and the inner world are not so simple. The inner world can support the face, because the face will also implicate the inner world. Sometimes no one can tell who is the inner world and who is the face. Both sides are complementary... I can only say that if the inner world is not good-looking, it is the way to destroy the family... Does Boss Zuo understand?"
"I understand." Zuo Caihou answered seriously. "I understand it really well."
"Just understand. This is actually the so-called "name and truth" in the officialdom. I have specially transformed it into the inner and face that you can understand." Zhang Xing also sighed. "Actually, what is not the case? You Zuo and Mangdang Mountain, the second brother of Zuo and the Changjing Gang. Our Jing'antai and Cao Zhongcheng, our inspector team and our inspector Bai, and even Li Shierlang and me today... have such a little meaning in it."
Boss Zuo, whose momentum was completely suppressed, nodded heavily: "Zhang Baishou was right. I underestimated Zhang Baishou and inspector Bai that day and caused what happened today. Now, I feel that Zhang Baishou has some ability, so I naturally don't want to cause trouble anymore... Zhang Baishou, you just say, whether it is the court or you, what kind of constitution is it?"
"The court is very generous." Zhang Xing laughed and said, "Before coming, Zhongcheng gave a word... It is not impossible to keep the Changjing Gang, but the members of your Zuo family must move from Fu Li to Guanzhong; your third brother will be transferred to Hebei; your second brother will go to the northwest to join the army, and the position of Xu Duwei... What do you think?"
Boss Zuo remained silent for a long time.
"I'm very generous." Zhang Xing frowned a little.
"I know." Boss Zuo came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. "But I can't abandon my ancestors' land... I can't move!"
Zhang Xing was speechless for a moment: "Do you want to turn against the court for this? If you raise the flag for this, your gang may not be convinced by you? They only care whether the Changjie Gang is still there! What's more, your Zuo family has just dispersed the black scattered the court, which makes the court feel relieved. The future of the three brothers is only up and down!"
"I know." Boss Zuo still smiled bitterly. "But I can't abandon my ancestors' land. The local people just regard this as the foundation..."
"But if this is the case, other aspects will be reduced." Zhang Xing thought, "You should first say something..."
"My family only has three." Boss Zuo responded seriously. "If the court can promise these three... you can agree to anything else!"
"Three?" Zhang Xing sneered.
"First, our ancestors' foundation cannot be abandoned." Zuo Boss pretended not to hear the other party's ridicule and responded seriously. "Second, please leave us the business of the Changjing Gang; third, I will not hide it from Zhang Sanlang, my second son is already in the Dan Realm. He is imagining the blue waves of the East China Sea. How could he go to the northwest to join the army at this time? This is to destroy the future of the Grandmaster, and it is absolutely impossible... But I can make a promise that once the second son is successfully visualized, he will let him serve in the court and will never refuse."
生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生�
When Zhang Xing heard the word Cheng Dan, his eyes twitched on the spot, but he shook his head quickly: "Left Gang Master, how much difference are your three points from our Cao Zhongcheng's three points? Do you have no background? Please don't joke. If you have to do this, we can only say that this is something we must not agree."
"I said that as long as I can make these three things, I can agree to anything else." Boss Zuo sighed. "The family wealth I have saved over the years, whether it is public or private, can be taken away... I can even agree to the court to assign people to the gang and serve as a supervisor, and since then I stopped the sale of salted fish in the East China Sea."
This time it was Zhang Xing's turn to remain silent because he realized violently that the other party's reaction was contradictory and illogical.
First of all, Li Qingchen's arrogance and toughness are his true nature;
Secondly, Cao Lin’s negotiation conditions do not exist. How could a dignified uncle and a master of the generation of people offer conditions with such powerful people?
That was the bait that Zhang Xing said according to the plan.
In fact, according to the plan of Zhang Xing, Wang Daiji and Chen Ling, the key to the matter is to try every means to force the second son of the Zuo family to appear, and then let Bai Yousi slash and chase him to the end.
As long as Zuo Lao Er dies, what is the Chang Whale Gang, what is the Uncle Zuo, and Zuo Sanye are a meal on the cutting board. The best strategy is to grasp the key points and then deal with it in a simple way.
Whether it is Bai Yousi's retreat, Li Qingchen's humiliation, or Zhang Xing's negotiations at this time, they are essentially forcing and tempting to call Zuo Laoer back from the East China Sea to show up.
However, Boss Zuo was very divided.
On the one hand, he seemed to know the fundamental interests of things better than anyone else, and knew that his second son was the foundation of everything and was the real inner world of Zuo, so he kept saying around him that although he said that he would not abandon his ancestors, he actually rejected the relevant conditions for his second son Zuo Caijiang.
But if he continued, he seemed to be extremely confused. In addition to Zuo Laoer's condition, he actually proposed a lot of extra things, as if he had some reliance to fight against the court.
This is impossible to hold.
In the heart of the court like Jianghuai, no one can fight against the court... The Great Governor of Dongyi drove his own whaling ship to die! Moreover, the Great Governor of Dongyi could not enter because as far as Zhang Xing knew, the Great Governor of Jianghuai was the same as the Eastern Region, but I didn't know whether it was in the Huai River or the Donghai Sea.
So, why did Boss Zuo dare to put forward such a tough situation that could not be accepted by the court when he knew the interests? They had already exposed their legs and lost their cover in Mangdang Mountain, so they should know that such a knife would be required.
Instead of trying to avoid the heart, he pulled open his chest and said, "No poking these three places are allowed?"
"Zhang Baishou...What do you think?" Zuo Caihou couldn't help but urge.
Zhang Xing was still silent for a while before shook his head:
"Boss Zuo, you are too self-righteous... You must know that the court wants to smash your Changjing Gang and shovel your ancestral grave, and your second brother can't stop it, because my inspector is in Ruyin, and he just keeps the way to be polite and then soldiers, so he asked me to come first... If you can negotiate with me, she won't come. If the negotiation is inappropriate, she will just swing the Yitian Sword... She has been in the Dan stage and is visualizing something, and has already set up the position of the Fulongwei Changjian in Xiyuan. In other words, your second brother is not relying on it at all, just bargaining chips."
Boss Zuo was anxious: "In this way, isn't it just for us to kill him?!"
To be continued...
