Chapter 112: Killing Whales (4)
After dawn, Zuo Caixiang, who had dark circles, came to visit with his brother.
As Hei Shou of Jing'antai, even if he was just Jingjiehu of the Dongzhenfusi, he received the courtesy he deserved. Zhang Xing and Li Qingchen, both of them were equally seated on the second floor, and they followed the patrol and cavalry behind, and both sides were also polite.
But after entering the essence, the third brother of the Zuo family gave a simple and clear statement: "My elder brother means what I mean!"
Now even Li Qingchen felt it was difficult to understand: "Your brother doesn't understand, don't you understand the laws and regulations of the Jing'an Tai family?"
Hei Shoucai, who is almost seven or eight years younger than Zuo Caihou, is only in his early thirties this year, is silent for a moment, then glances at his elder brother who bows his head and doesn't say anything, and then answers again with difficulty: "I believe in the hearts of the country's legal person more."
Li Qingchen was stunned, and Zhang Xing felt even more ridiculous.
After a while, Li Shierlang couldn't help asking: "Do you know that there is no need for national law and family law. You only need a transfer order to transfer you to Dongdu... You will have no idea of life and death for the rest of your life? If you want the heart of a country legal person, we can also give you a dedication to death. Is it good to be tired of a prison? What is the heart of a country legal person? The emperor's uncle is the law of the country, and the sword of the Heavenly Sword of my inspector is the heart of a person! You... Why do you think that Jing'antai cannot represent the court? Is it good to represent the court better than anyone else?"
Zuo Laosan gasped for a while, but did not respond.
"Do you know?" Zhang Xing saw that the other party looked strange and hesitated for a moment, and even joined in the pressure. "After the court transferred Chen Ling away, he would not directly send generals to replace him, but let the Ministry of War who were with us take charge of the military talisman for a while. Why? As long as we want, we can dispatch thousands of iron armor to the south at any time. At that time, we will not use the army of Xuzhou and Jiangdu to easily burn together... I really don't understand, what are you trying to do? I really think that your power, life, scatter the foundation, and Fuli clan are the final decisions? I really think that the court has room for you to get into it? This is the world of the Great Wei! And it is the place of the heart!"
Zuo Laosan raised his head and wanted to speak but stopped, but he still remained silent after glanced at his brother.
Li Qingchen looked at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment and nodded...
"We have been done with kindness and righteousness." Li Qingchen suddenly stood up. "Let's stop here, let's all settle for our destiny!"
"Please be sure to slow down on both Baishou. I have already sent someone to go downstream and report the message to my second brother." Boss Zuo stood up and gritted his teeth to meet him. "It will be here in seven or eight days, so let's not make a fuss."
"It's a coincidence." Li Qingchen greeted him coldly. "My inspector is in Ruyin, which is upstream of the Huai River. He goes to call him at this time, and there is no need to call him. But we lost the reward and will arrive in just seven or eight days."
"So, please give me your best..." Boss Zuo immediately bowed his head and saluted respectfully. "There is no other request, just ask Inspectionman Bai to remain unmoved for the time being. When my second son comes over, there will inevitably be a new explanation."
Li Qingchen went to see Zhang Xing again.
The latter was silent for a moment and nodded: "We can go and call my house for inspection three or five days later, but we will take over the Giant Whale Gang tomorrow... At the same time, we will start dispatching soldiers to go south to prevent you from inciting rebellion!"
Li Qingchen turned his sleeves and went straight upstairs. Unexpectedly, although Boss Zuo on the opposite side did not look up, he did not say anything refuted, and even felt a little relieved.
Zhou Xingfan, who was standing behind, had the most erratic thoughts. What he thought was that when the critical moment, Brother Zhang did use the word "giant whale".
At this point, the negotiations were broken down in stages. Zhang Xing no longer paid attention to the Zuo brothers, but went up to the third floor and arrived in the South Pavilion.
There, Li Qingchen waited there early.
However, neither of them spoke, but looked outside with their hands behind their backs. They crossed the bustling scenery inside and outside Huaikou Town further away, and set their eyes on the Changjing Gang's headquarters.
Outside the building, dozens of elite practitioners and elite middle-aged people with uniform clothing gathered, as well as dozens of wealthy businessmen and local officials. When they saw the Zuo Gang leader and Zuo Heishou coming out together, they immediately rushed up and surrounded the people.
But soon, there was a burst of noise and scolding. Some people even showed their swords on the spot and tried to attack the three-story building. As a result, they clearly saw that Zuo Lao Da was blocking everyone with his hands open, while Zuo Lao San scolded him harshly and said some nonsense like national laws. During the noise, someone looked up, but they were seeing Zhang Xing and Li Qingchen standing side by side on the three-story building in a cold look. Instead, the scene gradually became quiet in a mess of "desperate sansang" and "Tiger of Mangdang".
The Zuo brothers also took the opportunity to coax the people out with their confidants.
Only before leaving the yard, the two of them didn't know if they had a good relationship, but they turned around in the chaos and looked at the two Bai Shou on the attic on the third floor again.
That is, after seeing each other with the Zuo brothers this time, Zhang Xing suddenly turned his head and said something extremely inexplicable:
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生生
"The Zuo brothers are a bit like asking for help."
Li Qingchen, who had turned around, turned around in surprise and was stunned... This was not because he disliked the other party as a riddle, but because he did not believe in the other party's words: "What do you mean is that these two people cannot make decisions at all. Even if this foundation is only for others, he will only resist these three things without getting the right words?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded seriously.
"Zhang Sanlang." Li Qingchen took a few deep breaths and took it seriously here. "I don't want to end up with a reputation of being jealous of the virtuous and capable. In fact, I also confirmed that your human intelligence is far better than me, and it is better than the others in the group. Otherwise, the inspector would not have fallen in love with you when they meet by the river that day... But today's incident is really so strange that you are unreasonable."
"I know." Zhang Xing did not argue, nor did he care about the other party's unnecessary matters, because his remarks did seem strange.
"You know..." Li Qingchen suppressed his anger and continued to say. "According to your opinion, either someone should hold the handle of the three brothers, or their second brother is a disgraceful person. He will directly use the eldest brother and younger brother as objects to cultivate the royal realm in the future, and threaten his own brothers... But is this possible?"
“So you need to analyze.”
Zhang Xing turned back to his seat, rubbed his chin, and replied seriously. "There is a saying that this thing is called "Don't suppress the situation... The Whale Gang's stall is based on Huankou Town as the axis. One arm holds Huanshui and directly intervenes in the autumn grain and spring schemes of dozens of counties in the southeast. The other arm holds Huai River to carry out Huai River water transportation. Some are not, everyone has a clear idea... but there is no evidence. Do we think they have not smuggled with Dongyi and the demon clan Beidao?
But what is this? Fifty Prefectures of the Dongyi tribe, twenty Prefectures of the North Island, how big is the city of Li? Which gang in Huai Shang or the coastal coast will not do such a business in private? To take a step back, there is really something amazing. Can it be compared with the Mangdang Mountain? Therefore, even if there is a handle, in front of the scale of the Changjing Gang, in front of the power of the three Zuo brothers, under the pressure of our Jing'antai, now it seems a bit ridiculous."
"That's right... Then there's only the second possibility left." Li Qingchen sneered at the arms. "It's really impossible to say this is definitely impossible... There are everyone in the world. Zuo Lao Er is a cold-hearted person who regards his own brother as nothing. The two of them are really afraid that their second brother will cut him with one sword."
"This is unreasonable after all." Zhang Xing shook his head instead.
"Then do you still say that?" Li Qingchen became more and more irritable.
"One code is converted to one code. Their strange behavior is true. It is true that these two analyses cannot be understood." Zhang Xing did not care at all. "Bold assumptions, be careful to verify... Do you think there is such a possibility? Let's connect these two statements together... For example, the reason why Zuo Lao Er wanders in Donghai County and the sea for many years is because he committed to Dongyi in his early years. The Whale Gang has been a spy for Dongyi for many years. Zuo Lao Da and Zuo Lao San knew that their second son was too deep in the Dongyi people, so they fought to the death..."
Li Qingchen sighed.
Zhang Xing also shook his head: "This is even more wrong... Not to mention Zuo Lao Er's cultivation level, if the Dongyi people are so mean and polite, Zuo Lao Er should just escape back early. On the other hand, Zuo Lao Lao San and Zuo Lao San are going to destroy the deceased clans here. Instead, Zuo Lao Er needs to worry about them. Why do you need them to be so difficult?"
"The possibility you mentioned is actually not completely unreasonable, but Zuo Cai is the son of the Great Governor of Dongyi. It is possible to take over the power and whale fishing ship in the future. It is worth Zuo Lao Er to tie his mind to Dongyi regardless of everything, and it is also worth Zuo Lao Lao Lao Lao to be an abandoned son for the future statement of the family... If you think about it this way, Zuo Lao San's unwillingness to face." Li Qingchen smiled with his hands behind his back. "But... Is it possible? How likely?"
Zhang Xing thought for a moment and asked seriously: "This really makes sense...but it's still wrong. If so, Boss Zuo would not have to roll up the bed and go to Dongyi... So, he was just dragging the time to wait for his second son to pick him up to Dongyi? In this way, let's turn a blind eye and the matter will be settled?"
"You're still taking it seriously?" Li Qingchen was speechless.
"This is a way of thinking." Zhang Xing nodded without hesitation. "Maybe it sounds ridiculous, but when it comes to the most critical point, correct it and assist with new information, maybe it will suddenly be understood...it is like Chen Ling's family motto that day."
"But it's still wrong. It's better to continue to put pressure as planned." Li Qingchen shook his head. "The three hundred soldiers have already gone south in advance. They have transferred here first, caught them off guard, and then pressed them down step by step... It's good that they will give in. If they don't give in, they will increase their strength and break them up. It's okay if they break them."
Zhang Xing paused for a moment and became more serious: "Li Shierlang, I am always in a state of mind. I object to the fight and the innocence. You have seen tens of thousands of people in a town. It's okay if the three hundred soldiers are really going to come in. There are thousands of soldiers in Changjie Gang. What will happen then? However, I have to admit that I have not made this a good idea now... So, I will transfer the three hundred soldiers to come over first and continue to put pressure on me. I agree. I have no intention of opposing you throughout the whole process."
"Then I won't tell you anymore, I will go back to Longgang to dispatch troops." Li Qingchen felt relieved. "I'm just waiting for your correct words!"
"Just Qin Bao." Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment. "There is no need for you to go back in person."
"Let me just say it, Zhang Sanlang, I can't stand it... It's okay if you don't like your thoughts at the moment, or you can't stand the children of the noble family... Anyway, I'm so irritable about this." Li Qingchen waved his hands repeatedly and walked straight to the stairs. "And I'm leaving, Qin Bao and Xiao Zhou all accept you, so you can do it with your fists and beauties... Just take care of yourself, and you'll have your life! After all, there is a master of Chengdan!"
"You have a good journey, go and go back quickly." Zhang Xing watched the other party walk out and responded hard.
Zhang Xing knew that Li Shier was telling the truth, and knew that Li Shier was in such a bad mood, but in other personal and official reasons, he unexpectedly did not get angry after experiencing a trip to Jiangdong and his reputation during the Chinese New Year.
There is really no anger, the kind that cannot be angry, the kind that cannot be hostile, and the kind that cannot be born at all.
I can only say that before I knew it, I changed a lot.
However, as we grow older, people inevitably change, but no one can tell whether this change is good or bad... It seems that Zhang Xing himself doesn't know whether this mentality is alienated by the officialdom and becomes smooth and tolerant; or is it really mature, has a broader horizon, has become more and more thoughtful, and is disdainful to care about this kind of small emotions?
Just as I was thinking, I followed Li Qingchen downstairs, and there was another riot below.
Zhang Xing stood up again and lay on the railing. Sure enough, he saw Li Qingchen showing off his power downstairs. This guy was just a man. He was in public at the head of the Changjing Gang, and he scolded the Zuo brothers of the Changjing Gang to plot against the illegal acts and resisted the law enforcement. He now wants to go back to Longgang to transfer thousands of soldiers. Let's see who dares to disobey Jing'antai, which makes the following mess.
I don’t know what happened in the end. Anyway, after an hour, Li Qingchen took a confidant patrolman and several local officials who were caught on the face to go north to mobilize troops... He really went to mobilize troops. As part of the original pressure plan, the Three Hundred Arc soldiers had already set out from Longgang. They would meet them halfway and turn back directly, becoming the necessary main force to control the situation.
But no matter what Li Qingchen is here, I just said that as Bai Shou left in public, the whole town became nervous, and the Chang Whale Gang was even more impressed.
Especially inside the Chang Whale Gang, you can clearly see messengers traveling and setting off continuously, and there are water on the land everywhere. Moreover, starting at noon that day, other elite gangs gathered from other places, and the three-story "building" where Zhang Xing, Qin Bao and others lived also became nervous, and the warning below began to become chaotic. Moreover, since the evening, many strange-shaped practitioners began to sneak up and peep.
One is afraid that the dog will be anxious; the other is afraid that there will be two fools and fools.
Anyway, the remaining Jinyi patrolmen did not dare to neglect at all. They acted more and more seriously and cautiously, and even began to pay attention to the food and water... From noon, a meal was delivered, and only one person would eat it. The rest would have to wait half a day before they could eat cold rice and drink cold water.
There was nothing wrong during the day that day.
At night, Zhang Xing was reading a book in the attic. Suddenly, Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan kept clamoring and went upstairs.
Zhang Xing turned around in surprise and expressed his confusion.
"Someone is lying outside this attic, I guess it has been hiding for an hour." Qin Bao was a little embarrassed. "It should have been in the evening. It was not until the man's movement just now that we touched the buried wire that we noticed it."
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then immediately put down the book in his hand and spoke first. "Since he can easily hide it from us, he must be a master of the eight stages of the extraordinary meridians. Such a master should not be too relaxed when dealing with our cavalry with a few of the correct meridians... He hid for a long time, he should be waiting for the opportunity to speak, not to make things difficult for us... You, are you thinking I guess right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black covered his face "walked" directly outside the third floor window, then walked to the middle of the attic and immediately pulled open the mask and bowed:
"It can be seen from all sides of the attic. I originally wanted to wait until Zhang Sanlang and Zhang Baishou left here and talk privately again, but unexpectedly, it alarmed Qin Erlang, the thunderhand, and Fan's cultivation was in vain... I am ashamed, ashamed."
"Dare you ask about Mr. Fan's name and origin?" Zhang Xing thought for a while, and then asked seriously, but the other party was a little older and looked upward, so he used Mr. "Have we seen him before?"
Then Fan was embarrassed on the spot.
However, Zhou Xingfan couldn't help but reminded him again: "Brother Zhang... This is the deputy leader of Fan Shiyong and Fan! You shook hands with someone yesterday! The eight extraordinary meridians have already opened seven meridians, and only the Du meridian has not moved. He is a top-ranked master in the gang. He is 45 years old this year, and his father has been the county magistrate of Northern Qi."
Zhang Xing suddenly realized, quickly got up and shook hands again: "Shame, ashamed, you are wearing a facial scarf, I didn't recognize it for a while."
I had already taken it down and had my last name, but Deputy Gangmaster Fan was speechless, but he could only go forward and shake hands again: "It's okay."
After shaking hands, Zhang Xing sat down again and asked seriously with ice tea, "What's the point of Deputy Gangmaster Fan's coming?"
Fan Shiyong held it in a while again, but still bowed seriously: "To be honest, Zhang Baishou, I, Fan, did not come by myself, I don't care about my personal life, death, honor and disgrace. Fan came to find Zhang Baishou on behalf of many brothers in the gang. Isn't this Zhang Baishou being placed under house arrest by the Zuo brothers? Fan is also a good savage of immortality..."
"I understand, I understand." Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly, then served tea and urged him. "What?"
"Then I just wanted to ask Zhang Baishou in person whether the court wanted to punish the Zuo brothers or the Changjing Gang's crime? If we didn't ask clearly, we couldn't sleep at all." Fan Shiyong sincerely bowed his hand to ask.
"The court wants to punish both the Zuo brothers and the Changjing Gang." Zhang Xing replied earnestly, and then he stared at the other party's white face for a few breaths before continuing to speak. "But the court believes that a new gang is also needed to continue to manage the boatman and maintain the transportation of Huanshui and Huai River..."
Fan Shiyong was relieved immediately, but then he wanted to speak and stopped.
"What?" Zhang Xing was puzzled for a moment when he was present.
Fan Shiyong just went to see Qin Bao and Zhou Xingfan behind the other party.
Zhang Xing understood and quickly explained: "Qin Erlang is my real brother and arm, Xiao Zhou is the youngest son of Zhou Gong, who is left behind by Jiangdu Prefecture. I also trust him very much."
Fan Shiyong was stunned and became more and more happy. Then, regardless of the age gap, he went down to the spot. Before he could stand up, he looked up again on the ground and expressed his heart:
"To be honest, Zhang Baishou, Fan and many people are dissatisfied with the Zuo brothers and this Chang Whale Gang, and are waiting for you to make the blue sky!"
Zhang Xing also smiled, got up and left the seat, helped the other party up, and then said sincerely: "To be honest with Deputy Gang Leader Fan, I thought yesterday that you are a proper person... If you, Fan Shiyong, come out to fight, I support you as the new owner of Huankou Town... How about it?"
Deputy Gangmaster Fan Shiyong couldn't hide his joy, but it was difficult to show it.
"Let's come in and talk slowly?" Zhang Xing became more and more earnest.
PS: Good night everyone.
Chapter completed!
