Chapter 110: Whale Slaying (2)

Not to mention how the three of them planed for a while, but one day later, the second patrol group of the Taizhong Town Fusi in Jing'an and the military attache who were on the tour of the six counties in Huaibei began to disperse.

Hu Yan, the black ribbon, led a team of people to "escort" Chen Ling to Dongdu to take up his post;

Wai Lang Wang Daiji, a member of the Ministry of War, led the officials of the Ministry of War to the Longgang barracks to hold the military talisman on his behalf. After Chen Ling handed over, Dongdu sent a new general to take over;
However, Bai Yousi, who was the leader of the inspection team and relied on the greatest force, continued to go south with Baishou Qiantang and a few people to inspect the area around Ruyin County;
In the end, Zhang Xing and Li Qingchen were the only ones who led seven or eight people to pass through the Woshui, and then followed the Huanshui that had just been passed once, and went directly downstream to Huaikou, that is, Xucheng County in Xiapi County.

In addition, the Huan River starts from Chengfu and enters the Huaikou, passing through the eastern part of Qiao County, the southern part of Pengcheng County, and the southwest part of Xiapi County, and finally flows into the Huai River.

Among them, the three brothers of the Zuo family were born in Fuli County, southeast of Pengcheng, northeast of Huanshui. Their ancestors have been very prosperous for two or three generations. His father was considered a serious and powerful family.

However, it was actually the three Zuo brothers of this generation who really made the Zuo family flourish and become the top family on Huaibei Road.

The boss, Zuo Caihou, is older, and he followed his father to do business in the East China Sea and Huaibei since he was a child. He has a stable personality and a wide range of contacts. It went well, so the Zuo family no longer had the trouble of inheriting the family business.

And this also made his two brothers more immersed in their practice.

Especially the second son, Zuo Caijiang, has been recognized as a good practitioner since he was a child. Before he became an adult, he only worked hard in his hometown to cultivate his Zhengmai. As a result, he had a perfect Zhengmai at the age of 20, and then went out to sea with his elder brother, but stayed alone all year round. In seaside areas, it is said that most of them circle around the sea.

According to the rumors, about seven or eight years ago, on a certain day, he was returning to Donghai County from the North Island of the Monster Race. On the way, he saw the sun rising in the east, above and below the water, and the dawn of Yin and Yang. In the morning, it broke through the Ren meridian among the eight meridians.But that’s not enough. At dusk, the boat he was on met another giant whale. At that time, the giant whale was floating on the sea with its body on its back, like a corpse, but when the boat approached, it suddenly turned over and shot There is a huge wave, and there is a long cry in the huge wave... Yes, Zuo Cai will get this opportunity to break through the Du Meridian again at night.

The two veins of Ren and Du were connected in one day, and the future has been brightened since then.This story has also become a well-known story on the Huai River.

Needless to say, Zuo Caijiang seldom returns to his hometown to do business, but Zuo Caihou, the boss of the Zuo family, took the opportunity to establish the Long Whale Gang after his younger brother Ren Du and his two veins were connected, and the business grew bigger and bigger , and suddenly and completely abandoned other businesses five or six years ago, unified the transportation industry of Huanshui and the middle reaches of the Huaihe River, and then took over the official business of Huanshui as a matter of course.

You know, the Huai River is full of heroes, and the water transportation and salted fish business has supported countless masters. How can everyone be convinced of such a huge profit market if the boss Zuo wants to monopolize it?However, among the several gangs that dared to compete with the Long Whale Gang at that time, there were at least four gang leaders who were suddenly assassinated by a Dan-condensing master who claimed to be Meridian Sword, and all of them succeeded quickly, including one A long-established master with the same condensed alchemy state.

Although that person never showed his face, and did not leave other traces outside the copybook, but after four tyrannical, cunning, or prestigious gang leaders died within ten days, only two gang leaders with backgrounds were left untouched. We all know that this is a good time for the second son of the Zuo family to collect Huan Shui and Huai Shang's business after he has completed his alchemy state.

So, the remaining two people with backgrounds also gave in, and took the initiative to talk to Boss Zuo, and formally merged into the Long Whale Gang.

And the name of Zuocai General of Ziwu Sword has since resounded throughout the Huai River.

As for the youngest Zuo Caixiang, he is definitely incomparable with his second brother, but his own cultivation progress can not be said to be bad. When his second brother got through Ren Du's second vein, he was already an adult when he was just an adult. It's the ability of six or seven main veins, but he didn't learn from his elder brother to devote himself to practice, and he didn't follow his elder brother to run the rivers and lakes. Instead, he devoted himself to the public and became a street tiger in Jiangdu County.

Then the money should be used, the qualifications should be polished, the qualifications should be grinded, and the meritorious service should be made, but it happened exactly in the second year after his second brother condensed alchemy and the Meridian Sword resounded across the Huai River, and it was also after his elder brother established the Long Whale Gang. In the fourth year, he was transferred to Xiapi County, where Huanshui River enters the Huaihe River, to serve as the local black ribbon with his Dzogchen cultivation base.

As I said before, his family is from Pengcheng County next door, and it is in accordance with the rules to work in Xiapi.

It's just that it's been a long time, and I've been in Xiapi for four or five years.

But in this way, it is no wonder that the power of the Long Whale Gang has swam from the Huan River to the Huai River, and it is almost as solid as gold.

"Zhang Baishou, Li Baishou, I didn't expect to meet again so soon? I heard that you are urged to come here, so come here early to greet you."

In Xucheng County of Xiapi, ten miles away from the market at Huanshuikou, Zhang Xing and his party met Zuo Caihou, the leader of the Changjing Gang, who led dozens of people. There was a mount waiting to greet him by the side of the road, it was impossible to be ignored, and from his appearance, it seemed that he didn't know the purpose of Zhang Xing's visit at all, he just heard the rewards from the gang members upstream.

Seeing this shape and hearing these words, Li Qingchen snorted coldly, and he didn't even get off his horse, his arrogance was obvious.

On the other hand, Zhang Xing got off his horse and greeted him with a smile, but he didn't bow his hands in return: "Leader Zuo, although we only met last month, it's been a long time!"

Zuo Caihou was stunned for a moment before he realized what it meant, but he smiled wryly and cupped his hands again and again: "Zhang Baishou, I'm a coolie, how can I understand these things, if you have something to say, you might as well be honest, so I can understand it."

Zhang Xing laughed loudly, stepped forward and grabbed the other party, and responded calmly:

"Okay, let's say something on the bright side first... Let's not hide from the Zuo Gangzhu, this time our second patrol team will go out to inspect the six counties of Huaibei, mainly to check whether the local officials, tycoons, and gangs are colluding. , endangering the locality, a few days ago in Longgang, General Chen Ling Chen did too much in the local area, monopolizing the business of the Metasequoia forest, which angered my inspection, so he was sent to the northwest to guard the desert by a paper order ...do you know about this?"

Zuo Caihou, whose arms were crossed, took it seriously: "I heard that there was such a thing, but we..."

"So, Chief Zuo, you have to be very careful, energetic, and vigorous this time." Zhang Xing tugged at the other party's arm, not allowing the other party to speak at all, just reminding him earnestly. . "Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass our test... Especially Li Twelve Lang who is about to come from a famous family and has a bad temper. He has long believed that there is something wrong with your Whale Gang."

Li Qingchen snorted coldly, but did not refute.

Zuo Caihou's face also changed slightly, and many strange warriors behind him were also noisy, but after the former looked back, the latter finally calmed down again.

At this time, the leader of the Changjing Gang just turned around, glanced at Li Qingchen, continued to hold Zhang Xing's hand, and said seriously: "I still have to count on Zhang Baishou's good words."

"Of course you have to count on me." Zhang Xing joked. "After Chen Ling was dealt with, my inspection branch went to the Ruyin area, and Brother Hu, the deputy inspector, returned to Dongdu. Now you are here, it's us, the two white ribbons, who are in charge... You just said, you want me to say something To be honest, then I will tell you the truth right now...Leader Zuo, your Whale Gang has fallen into my hands this time."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xing patted the back of the opponent's hand, and then showed two rows of big white teeth to look at the opponent.

When Zuo Caihou heard the last sentence, his heart skipped a beat. He tried hard to laugh a few times, but he couldn't laugh when he met the other person's eyes and teeth.No way, after what happened at the end of last year, the deeds of Zhang Sanlang desperately driving the tiger across the river resounded across the Huaihe River. As the nearest interested person, how could he not know that this seemingly kind person is probably the most difficult person? The one to deal with?
Twelve points of energy, his boss Zuo wished he could play twenty points of energy.

"Okay, let's make a joke." Zhang Xing noticed that the opponent's muscles were tense, but let go instead, and then said while turning back on the horse. "The last time I came to Xiapi Xucheng, I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't see the scenery on the Huai River at all. Now that I'm back, it's the warm spring. Let's go to Huan Shuikou together, so I can see the youth on the Huai River."

Zuo Caihou hurriedly gave a chill, making an invitation gesture.

But just when Zhang Xing got on his horse and was about to walk with Zuo Caihou and others, on the other side, Li Qingchen snorted again, and led a scout to ride his horse first.

Everyone was surprised for a moment, but Zhang Xing just laughed, and then he, Qin Bao, Zhou Xingfan and other patrol cavalry, followed Zuo Caihou and other gang members, accelerated to catch up with Li Qingchen, and then rode towards Huanshuikou together.

Walking to Huan Shuikou, Zhang Xing finally had the heart to observe this large and somewhat excessive ferry market. He saw that the surrounding area was heavily surrounded by courtyard walls, and towers and pavilions could be seen faintly among them, obviously it was a courtyard for the rich.After crossing a low wall and entering the interior, there are countless restaurants, shops, and brothels... It is also amazing.

You must know that this place is quite far from the county seat of Xucheng County, and it is a traffic town that has just sprung up thanks to the prosperity of Huanshuikou's water transportation and the existence of the chief rudder of the Changjing Gang.

"Zhang Baishou, Li Baishou."

When they came here, the atmosphere slowed down a bit, and everyone slowed down. Zuo Caihou saw Li Qingchen and Zhang Xing looking around at the scenery, and finally took the opportunity to say a few words. "Not to mention the tens of thousands of trackers, even Huankou Town has a population of 3 to [-] people, all thanks to our Long Whale Gang to maintain it. We really..."

"Then what do you rely on for the Long Whale Gang to maintain it?" Before Zhang Xing could speak, Li Qingchen, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked with a sneer.

"Eh..." Zuo Caihou realized instantly that he had said the wrong thing.

"Do you want to rely on the grace?" Li Qingchen slowed down his horse slightly, turned his head and asked with disdain.

"Of course it is necessary." Zuo Caihou replied helplessly.

"Do you want to rely on the careful governance of the Nanya princes?" Li Twelve Lang continued to ask.

"It's natural." The Zuo gang leader said in embarrassment, so he could only keep his head down and walk on his way.

"Should we rely on the fire consumption of dozens of counties in the south every year?" Li Baishou still did not let the other party go.

"Inevitable..." Boss Zuo was already in extreme embarrassment.

"Do you want to rely on us to run around and eradicate the bandits in Mount Mangdang and Mount Ji for you?" At this moment, Zhang Xing, who had been silent all this time, ignored the other party's embarrassment, opened his mouth suddenly, and even raised his voice. "Boss Zuo, don't tell me you don't know who is responsible for this?"

Hearing this, not only Boss Zuo raised his head awe-inspiringly instantly, but also many high-ranking members of the gang behind him who were getting so angry that they were winking at each other suddenly stopped.

Even Li Qingchen, who suddenly got into trouble, heaved a long breath when he heard this, and shut up.

But Zhang Xing calmed down the two sides who were gradually becoming stiff, instead of continuing this topic, he just laughed again: "To be honest, Boss Zuo, although Li Twelve Lang has an arrogant temperament, the few things he asked It's not bad... From my point of view, I don't talk about the top, just say that in your whale gang, isn't it the tens of thousands of trackers who really work hard? As a result, they are squeamish all day, but you only give them ten thousand dollars. I don’t know where the money came from, but how can I maintain the Fa?”

Leaving aside those helpers, Zuo Caihou could only swallow his anger and nodded repeatedly: "Zhang Baishou is right, right!"

But at this time, Xiao Zhou who was following behind couldn't hold back, and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Zhang San...he is not the Whale Gang."

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly, and even bowed his hands to Caihou on the left.

Boss Zuo also responded immediately: "It's okay, it's okay."

The end is extremely aggrieved.

While speaking, everyone didn't go directly to the ferry, but stopped in front of the huge and imposing buildings of the Long Whale Gang. The buildings here have cornices and corners, tall and overlapping, and there is a special open space in front of the door, and the market next to it is extremely crowded , and no one dared to come and occupy it, which seemed to symbolize the strength, financial resources and reputation of this gang.

When they arrived here, the number of people was several times that of the people who greeted them by the side of the road. Many elites in the gang were arranged one by one according to grade, seniority, and cultivation base. Wine, made a sound and color.

Seeing this situation, Li Qingchen taunted the public with a nondescript sentence, and then led a scout forward, but Zhang Xing was unceremonious, and went forward, following the guidance and guidance of Boss Zuo, drinking and drinking again. It's applause and condolences.

After a lot of tossing around, the boss Zuo seemed to see that Zhang Baishou was a person who wanted to save face, so he did what he liked and asked him to come on stage in public and say a few words.

Zhang Xing didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and jumped onto a platform in front of the gang again, clapping his hands together, and the scene quickly quieted down under the pressure of the local gang.

"Fellow folks and elders." Zhang Xing put down his hands, channeled his true energy, and spoke loudly. "Today's spring is beautiful and sunny. We were lucky enough to meet each other. I won't talk nonsense. In fact, the imperial court sent me, Zhang Xing and Zhang Sanlang, to inspect this place for three things. Avenge your injustice! For those of you who have been wronged or bullied, just come to this whale... come to this killer whale gang to find me Zhang Xing, and I, Zhang Sanlang, are here, waiting for you with the leader of the killer whale gang Zuo Gang ! Huankou Town will definitely be rehabilitated!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xing cupped his hands again and turned to go to the lobby of the Long Whale Gang.

Boss Zuo and the others were stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

When entering the lobby, Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment, because Li Qingchen, who came in first, actually sat directly on the most central seat, and when Zhang Xing and Boss Zuo led several senior helpers in, he could only stand there in embarrassment.

"Boss Zuo." When Li Twelve Lang saw Zuo Caihou, his face suddenly changed in the audience. "You have also seen that Zhang Sanlang and I will deal with today's matter. Zhang Sanlang has traveled all over the world and is used to dealing with people like you, but I come from Hongshan Li's Jingzhao House, which is a first-class famous family, but I am too lazy to talk to you guys. Hypocrisy and obscenity... Let me tell you clearly, if your third child comes over, even though he is just a street tiger, I can still give him a little dignity because of the black ribbon on his waist; if your second child comes over, he will be proud , I will discuss with him on behalf of the imperial court, and we will get together and get together and try to have a reunion; but you, a local tyrant who sells salted fish, and the leader of a gang who is not popular, have any face to play with me first and then soldiers?! The matter of Mangdang Mountain , Zhang Sanlang personally experienced that Cao Zhongcheng of Jing'antai ordered Chen Ling and your Changjing gang to be 'deadly', and asked us to make a special trip to clean up. Chen Ling's family business immediately went to the northwest, and you are not in the same class. Do you think you can hide from the powerful family?!"

As he said that, Li Twelve stood up and walked away, but he pointed at one person and asked him to make accommodation arrangements.

There are no less than 30 people in the hall from the boss on the left. They just came in together. They didn’t care what they thought before they came in, but on the surface they laughed and laughed, and they were always right. When they came in and drenched in this basin of ice water, they were instantly frozen deep into the bone marrow.

However, it's still the same sentence, everyone below Boss Zuo is a gangster, no one knows, Li Twelve Lang is just from a famous family, young and arrogant, and looks down on them. 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, and immediately cupped his hands: "It's okay, it's okay."

PS: good night everyone
