fast and ferocious

Chapter 148
"Love so and so! I said a long time ago that it is impossible for us to know all the methods they use to deliver news. We can only find ways to stop them. If we can't stop them, let them go first. The most important thing right now is to understand why they want to hold me back. , and found such a fool..."

The old monk was about to jump for joy when he heard the word fool, but Qin Wubing fixed his gaze on him.

"Let's get down to business now, don't mess around! I said something yesterday in the Xingwu Hall. I said that when the second brother leads the troops, I will take the seven people away for interrogation separately. They don't want me to take the seven people away. Go, or do you have other arrangements?"

"If you ask me, why don't you think about anything at all, just do what you want, and see what else they can do?" Guo Yi said.

"Second brother is right! You just think too much." Lin Huai echoed.

"Oh? If we take the seven people away, where will they go? Mingzhou, Wuzhou, or Jinling?" Qin Wubing asked.

"Naturally, it's Jinling! Mingzhou is too close to the main rudder of the Cao Gang, what can we do in Wuzhou? Only Jinling..."

"Only Jinling?" Qin Wubing interrupted the old monk and asked.

"Who are you asking? Didn't you say you would take it away? You don't know where to take it?"

"I really don't know where to take it, but what you said may be what they think." Qin Wubing paused for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "Quickly invite Chief Huang!"

……

Huang Zongxing hurried over with a very grim complexion, Qin Wubing greeted him at the door, and before Huang Zongxing could speak, he said, "Boss Leader Huang took me around."

Huang Zongxing was stunned for a moment, he thought there was something urgent, and he hurried over because the arrester wanted to turn around!

"Your Excellency, you know that I am investigating the poisoning..."

Huang Zongxing suppressed his anger and squeezed out these words, only to be interrupted by Qin Wubing.

"That matter is not urgent! I'll talk to Chief Huang," Qin Wubing said as he walked towards the courtyard: "How many people are there in the Cao Gang?"

Huang Zongxing had no choice but to follow, and replied perfunctorily: "More than ten thousand."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at the few people following him, and lost his temper immediately.

"Most of them are on the boat, right?" Qin Wubing didn't stop his feet, nor did he stop talking.

"Yes! There are ten people on each grain ship responsible for the escort."

"Indeed, thousands of grain boats sailing on the canal are also spectacular! Besides these people, there are other people in the Cao Gang near Mingzhou and Jinling, right?"

"Naturally, the Cao Gang has a lot of miscellaneous things, and there are always people running around."

"Only Jinling, how many gang members are there near Mingzhou?"

Huang Zongxing thought for a while and said, "A few hundred."

"Whose orders do they obey?"

Huang Zongxing seemed to understand the meaning of Qin Wubing's words, and asked nervously: "Your Excellency, you mean that someone is plotting against these hundreds of people?"

"I just said, let's take a look. Look at the Cao gang stealing the river silver. If you knew the methods and attitude of Lord Xiang in advance, would you still do it? You won't, but no one told you, only here There are hundreds of gangs nearby, and there will only be more on both sides of the canal, why don't you get any news about this?"

Huang Zongxing became even more nervous.

"Because the people around you, at best, are all deliberately hiding from you, at worst, they all betrayed you! Some people are because they were bribed, and some really thought it was for the good of Cao Gang. No matter what the reason, they The final result is that you have to agree, or if you are forced to that point, you can only listen to them and continue to the dark!"

"For what reason?" Qin Wubing turned to look at Huang Zongxing:

"You don't know that there are royal relatives by my side. It is normal to send someone to ambush me to assassinate me. It is normal for your brothers to be arrested. At this time, you have two choices. One is to discuss with those deputy gang leaders. They may point you to a darker path." Lu, you leave as soon as your brain is hot, such as robbing the prison; second, as you did before, go to Jinling alone... the leader of the Cao Gang was arrested, is it more convenient to do what you want inside the Cao Gang?"

"Fortunately, you met me. Let's return to the Cao Gang quickly to catch them off guard, but they won't die. Their goal is to force the court to deal with the Cao Gang in a hurry. If you are impatient, follow them to the pirate ship Either they persuade you directly, without the court doing anything, you are convinced of the consequences they said, and you take the initiative to board the pirate ship."

"At present, it is impossible for them to persuade you, so the only way is to force the court to do something..."

"So, when they poisoned, they didn't really want to poison anyone, but they wanted to annoy you and do something cruel to the Cao Gang in a fit of anger, so I... just followed suit." Huang Zongxing stopped, and spoke more and more. lower.

Qin Wubing also stopped, he didn't know where this was, he was only thinking about it just now, but he actually walked all the way to the high place, and before he knew it, he could clearly see the Huaijing Canal at the bottom of the mountain.

"However, this also shows that Chief Huang's position in the gang is extremely important, even if the seven of them work together, it's useless!" Qin Wubing glanced at Huang Zongxing, and Huang Zongxing's tense face flashed a trace of disdain.

"If we surprise them once again and don't attack the Cao Gang because of poisoning, do you think they will stop?"

Huang Zongxing shook his head.

"When I got up today, the white-faced scholar said he wanted to see me. When I thought about being so active, I must have not held my fart! I first met Liang Shan, who had two ribs broken by your kick last night. Liang Shan refused to say anything. Who among the subordinates followed and participated, but said that they were taking orders from Jia Youwei."

Huang Zongxing listened with a gloomy face.

"I respected him and still felt righteous, so I agreed to buy medicine for him to heal his wounds... But the white-faced scholar is interesting. He came to me not to confess anything, but to tell me that the seven of them discovered the shortcomings of the Cao Gang." , but you haven’t found out for a long time, the gang leader, what they did was just to let the Huang gang leader see clearly, and they are only for the Cao gang.”

"What nonsense!"

"Yeah, but why do you want to say it? Tell me, you have heard that I am extremely smart, and I showed it a little when I got to Caobang. Why does he still talk nonsense in front of me?"

Qin Wubing looked at the Huaijing Canal at the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back, and didn't make a sound. He wanted to give Huang Zongxing time to digest and think.

But Huang Zongxing asked: "Do you know who made them do this?"

Qin Wubing shook his head and said:

"After we arrived yesterday, the places that should be closed have been closed, the places that should be guarded have been added, and the people who should be guarded have also been guarded. The places that should be arranged have also been arranged, and the places that should be checked have also been checked. , but they can still send news. It can be seen that their arrangement in Caobang is not a day or two. I am thinking what should I do? I know that this cancer is deeply rooted. Hit their trick!"

"They are forcing you to do it!" Huang Zongxing's expression was extremely ugly.
