Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 26
After Yang Lei's confusing description, Ouyang Ye knew the general process of arresting Tian Yunong.

When Tan Kang and Yang Lei led people to Tian Yunong's private residence, they found that he had gathered the gang members of Nantang and was bewitching him with words. He wanted to go to the commercial compound to question why Ouyang Hu passed on the position of gang leader to a fool.

However, Tian Yunong's popularity in the gang was much lower than Deng Kui's. Even though he had cultivated some confidantes, he still couldn't convince all the Nantang gang members to follow him in a few words.

So, when Tan Kang and Yang Lei led people in, and bluntly said that Tian Yunong had colluded with outsiders to rebel and cause rebellion, half of the Nantang gang he had gathered in immediately dispersed, and only a dozen or so confidants gathered around him.

Later, Tian Yunong and others retreated into the house, taking advantage of the favorable location of the house to resist tenaciously, but he himself left his nephew Tian Wu and seven or eight of his confidants and ran away on the grounds of moving rescuers.

As soon as Tian Yunong ran away, Tian Wu and others were captured by Tan Kang and others without much resistance, and then Tan Kang and Yang Lei went to chase Tian Yunong.

After chasing to the riverside, Tian Yunong was about to be surrounded, but a group of people rushed ashore from the continuous wooden rafts and stopped Tan Kang, Yang Lei and others.

The leader was a bannerman named He Chun from Paibang Liu, who said something to Tan Kang and Yang Lei.The general idea is that Tian Yunong is his friend, and he asked Shenmu to sell him face and let Tian Yunong go, and he promised that Tian Yunong would never return to Jitangguan.

Although they were no worse than the other party based on the strength of the manpower at that time, the reputation of the platoon gang made Tan Kang and Yang Lei dare not do anything, so they could only watch Tian Yunong follow He Chun and others on the wooden platoon away.

"He Chun, the standard-bearer of Pai Bang Liu? Is there such a person?" Ouyang Ye frowned and asked.

Yang Lei said: "Young leader, He Chun and others have been arranging in our part of the river all the year round. Liu Zihao still has business dealings with our Shenmu Gang. How could we admit our mistake?"

Hearing what Yang Lei said, Ouyang Ye fell silent for a moment.

The Pai Gang is a huge gang that exists in the Yangtze River, its major tributaries and even the waters of related lakes. However, it has a loose organizational structure and is divided into many large and small fonts internally. In fact, it can be regarded as a gang alliance.

Because the foundation of gang gangs is the laborers in the Yangtze River Basin, these laborers are divided into different names due to different regions, and even the types and sources of wood they get, and the order of entry into the industry. fight.

Arranging discharges is an extremely dangerous job. If you are not careful, you will destroy people and die. If you die because of a land battle, you will not be able to survive.Therefore, after many years of internal strife, communication, integration, and some more heroes in the platoon, the platoon gang was formed.

Therefore, the main purpose of the gang's existence is actually to resolve the internal disputes of the gang, and there are very few cases of integration with the outside world.

As far as Ouyang Ye knew, members of the platoon rarely interfered with the affairs of other sects and guilds, and some trade names even listed it as an express regulation, and violations were strictly prohibited.

This time, He Chun, the standard-bearer of the Liuzihao, rescued Tian Yunong. One may be his personal behavior, and the other may be the default of the Liuzihao.

Perhaps in the eyes of the gang members, the Shenmu Gang was too small to be treated as a gang at all, so they saved Tian Yunong without any hesitation.

Thinking about this, Ouyang Ye asked: "Is the Liu font size a small font size? Which big font size is it under?"

Yang Lei frowned, obviously not clear.

On the other hand, Li Qin replied after hearing the words: "The Liu font size is indeed a small font size, and it is placed under the Shun font size."

The platoon workers are superstitious and particular about platooning. They will erect flags in the platoon, set up a general platform in the front row, and put a big drum on the platform.

Generally, there are three characters on the vertical flags, and they must be "XX Pai". The first character represents the large font size to which it belongs, while the second character represents the small font size to which it belongs.

Such as Shunliu, the large font size is "Shun", and the small font size is "Liu".

The area of ​​the river that Jitangguan was looking at belonged to Shunliu Pai territory, but Ouyang Ye had very little information about Shunliu Pai in his memory.

So, Ouyang Ye asked again: "Who is the leader of Liu Zihao? How about martial arts?"

Li Qin replied: "The name of the leader of Shunliu Pai is Shi Tianhui, as for his martial arts... it should be at the second level."

"You seem to know a lot about platoon gangs?" Ouyang Ye looked at Li Qin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Qin hesitated, then cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare to hide from the young master. When I was young, I worked in the platoon gang for several years. Later, I survived an accident, so I didn't dare to go to the platoon again. The leader of the gang. Only because there are a few old friends in the gang, so I know a lot about the gang."

There are very few gangs that are so strict that they are not allowed to make friends with outsiders, let alone old friends before joining the gang, so Ouyang Ye doesn't mind Li Qin's past, but thinks that Li Qin has rich experience and is worth using.

So he said: "Then tell me about this gang, tell me as much as you know."

"Yes."

Li Qin responded, and then narrated what he knew about the gang, his eloquence was much better than Yang Lei's.The Shenmu Gang brothers in the courtyard also gathered in a circle as if listening to a story.

It turned out that the person in charge of the small name of this group is called Paitou, and there are mages, drum heads, and flag heads under them, all of whom are outstanding in martial arts and abilities.

Among them, the drum head leads a team of drummers, which is equivalent to the personal guard of the general in the army; the flag head is in charge of the standard bearers of each wooden platoon, which is equivalent to the big boss above the small boss in the gang; as for the mage, the identity is more complicated.

The mages of the platoon gang generally know some "spells", not only responsible for choosing the day for the platoon, but also responsible for offering sacrifices to the heavens, and exorcising ghosts and catching demons.Therefore, in some font names with weak ranks, the authority of the mage is greater than that of the ranks.

After hearing this, Ouyang Ye felt that although the martial arts in this world were a bit more mysterious than the earth, there were no such supernatural things as spells.Moreover, if the mages of Pai Gang really know spells, where would they do the risky and hard work of Pai Pai?
Therefore, he guessed that most of the pai bang mages knew some knowledge of astronomy and geography, could predict the weather, and added some mystical tricks to deceive people, so they were considered to know "spells".

"As you said, then He Chun's position in Shunliu Pai is about the same as your position in my Shenmu Gang?" After thinking for a while, Ouyang Ye asked.

Li Qin smiled awkwardly, and said: "It's probably what the young gang leader said, but He Chun is a master of the first level, and I can't compare to it."

A flag bearer is a master of the first level?It seems that the strength of this smooth platoon should not be underestimated.

With a sigh in his heart, Ouyang Ye continued to ask: "Do you understand how good the martial arts of the mages, drum heads, and flag heads in the Shunliu row are?"

"This," Li Qin showed a lack of confidence. After all, he was just an ordinary platoon worker in the platoon gang, and his old friend was also a platoon worker. He didn't know much about the middle and upper levels of the platoon gang, but now Ouyang Ye asked, He could only hesitate and said, "It's probably the second level."

Hearing what Li Qin said, Ouyang Ye finally had a general understanding of Shunliu platoon's strength.

The name of the platoon gang is big, but it is a small name, and its strength is only slightly stronger than that of the Shenmu gang.Therefore, when it comes to He Chun's rescue of Tian Yunong, the Shenmu Gang may not necessarily swallow their anger.

So, he said seriously to Li Qin: "Old Li, since you have old friends in the platoon gang, then this matter has to trouble you once."

Ouyang Ye was so serious, even if Li Qin didn't want to get involved in this matter, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Master, please speak."

Ouyang Ye said: "Since He Chun is here, the Shunliu platoon must not have been released today. Go find your old friend and find out what is the relationship between this He Chun and Tian Yunong. After you have inquired, come back and tell me."

"Yes."

Li Qin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that he was just asking for information, and left quickly after answering.

Ouyang Ye greeted the helpers in the courtyard, and raised his voice: "Except for Gao Qiang and ten brothers who stayed behind to guard the Tiexianmen courtyard and those old and weak women and children, the rest of the people brought the property they found, and followed me back to Shenmu Trading Company! "

"Yes!"
