Wudang

Chapter 97

"Are you all right?" Zhang Junbao asked the steward of the Zhou family.

"Oh, I'm fine, but I'm afraid this batch of goods will be difficult." The steward of the Zhou family couldn't help but smiled wryly.

The Four Seas Gang was in the way, and it was difficult for the Zhou family to gain a foothold in Lin'an Mansion.

They do something casually, and a businessman like the Zhou family, especially an outsider, can't stand it.

"What if ten times their demands are met?" Miao Daoyi asked.

"Miao Daoist, even if you give it to them, the result will not change." The steward of the Zhou family shook his head and said, "They are here for the Zhou family."

"Is there a conflict with the Four Seas Gang before?" Miao Dao nodded, revealing something strange about this matter.

"No, although the relationship with them is not very good and they are often blackmailed, but in the end they managed to do things well. It can be said that it is a pure cooperative relationship and spend money to do things." The manager of the Zhou family said, "It stands to reason that they There's no reason to target us like that."

"Check it out, it won't be for nothing." Liang Zhiyong nodded and said, "Leave this matter to us."

"This?" The steward of the Zhou family hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, this is a business matter, and you don't need to participate, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to Quanzhen Sect."

"How can we ignore it?" Yang Zhilian waved his hands, "You don't need to worry about it."

Zhang Junbao understood the thoughts of everyone in the Zhou family.

They have the precepts of their ancestors, unless it is a major matter that endangers the safety of the family, they are not allowed to ask the Quanzhen Sect for help.

Like this time, it is really related to business. Even if the Zhou family loses this batch of goods, it will not cause the Zhou family to be destroyed. At worst, they will withdraw from the business of Lin'an Mansion.

This kind of loss can only be recognized by oneself.

The same is true for the Quanzhen Sect. If you don't know, of course you have nothing to say. Now that you have encountered it, you will definitely not stand by.

"Uncle, the leader of the Four Seas Gang obviously came prepared." When Miao Dao thought of Luo Xingshuang's attitude, his expression was not very good-looking.

"There should be someone behind the scenes." Liang Zhiyong said, "I'll talk about it after checking."

Zhang Junbao thought so too.

The Four Seas Gang alone shouldn't be so stupid as to confront people from the Quanzhen Sect.

If someone supported them behind their backs, it would be really difficult for Quanzhen Sect to deal with it.

The forces behind it must be unusual, at least they would not be too afraid of Quanzhen Sect, otherwise they would not dare to do so.

Moreover, the Four Seas Gang is the local local snake, and Qianglong may not be able to suppress the local snake in many cases.

With the support of local snakes, it will be even more troublesome. It is hard to say that the Quanzhen Sect will be able to properly resolve this matter.

If it is said that the evil spirit is crooked and doesn't care about the morals of the world, then it is enough to directly destroy the Four Seas Gang.

But the Quanzhen sect can't do this, so they will be tied up.

Seeing that Liang Zhiyong and the others were so persistent, Zhou's steward had no choice but to follow through.

I hope this matter will not become a big issue. He is still afraid that this matter will affect the Quanzhen Sect. If it does, he will not be able to explain to the master when he goes back.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Junbao and others got the news of the investigation by Quanzhen Sect intelligence personnel.

"It's Pushi again!"

Zhang Junbao and the others finally knew the people behind the Four Seas Gang.

Pu Huanyang is their acquaintance.

I saw it in Muping Port at that time.

This time, the Four Seas Gang made trouble for Zhou's family. Judging from all signs, it was this guy who got in the way.

And this time I learned a lot about the past of the Four Seas Gang.

Over the past few years, the Four Seas Gang and the Quanzhou Pu family have had close contacts, and during this period, the Four Seas Gang's power has increased dramatically.

This kind of change obviously has the shadow of Pu Shi. Pu Shi secretly supported many silver taels of the Four Seas Gang, and even bought some people.

Now that Pu Huanyang came forward, it was reasonable for Luo Tingshuang to help.

"It's troublesome." Miao Dao sighed, "It seems that the Four Seas Gang will not give in easily."

Their original idea was to put pressure on the Four Seas Gang to make them back down.

Now they have Pu Huanyang playing tricks behind them, and they won't give in easily, everyone knows this well.

Liang Zhiyong and Yang Zhilian frowned, they were indeed in serious trouble.

Their Quanzhen Sect's influence in the south is not that great. If the Four Seas Gang really doesn't give them face, they probably have nothing to do.

Zhang Junbao shook his head secretly, this situation is indeed very tricky.

At that time, Sog was a difficult person for most people, but for himself, it was not so difficult, and he would kill him if he killed him.

But the Four Seas Gang is different, they are a sect of the rivers and lakes, not evil spirits.

If it is said that evil spirits are crooked, Quanzhen Sect can solve them in the name of eliminating demons and defending Taoism.

Thinking of the crooked ways of the evil spirits, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but feel his heart move.

The Four Seas Gang is indeed not a crooked way of evil, they are still in the name of righteousness.

But many of the things they did were not glorious things.

It seems reasonable to say that they are evil spirits.

So Zhang Junbao shared his thoughts with several people.

"Uncle Master's method can be tried." Liang Zhiyong thought for a moment and said.

"It will be criticized by others." Yang Zhilian said hesitantly, "After all, it is a bit far-fetched. If they start a quarrel, people in the world will have opinions on our Quanzhen Sect."

"Then collect the evil things they did, who dares to have an opinion?" Miao Daoyi said in a deep voice.

Hearing Miao Daoyi's words, Liang Zhiyong shook his head and smiled wryly: "There are so many sects in the world, and there are quite a few so-called orthodox sects, but what they do is really to eliminate demons and defend the way? Whose buttocks are not clean, If we target the Four Seas Clan, it’s hard to guarantee that other sects will die and the fox will be sad. Even if it’s our Quanzhen Sect..."

Liang Zhiyong sighed at this point, but did not continue.

In fact, the same is true of their Quanzhen sect, there are many scum.

In recent years, when the influence of Quanzhen Sect flourished, some guys did a lot of immoral things.

The reason why the debate between Buddhism and Taoism happened has something to do with such scum.

If they hadn't gone too far, the Buddhism side wouldn't have been unbearable.

But these words, I can't say it.

"It's not that serious." Zhang Junbao disagreed, "We don't need to care so much. It's just a local sect. If we really want to beat the Four Seas Gang, I believe many sects around will support it."

Now that the Four Seas Gang is getting stronger and stronger, some sects around must have opinions.

"Uncle, the influence of the Four Seas Gang in Jianghu is indeed not great, but what about the Pu family? With their power, if they make use of it, the influence will not be small." Liang Zhiyong sighed.

After Yang Zhilian and Miao Daoyi heard this, their faces were a little solemn.

Pu's power should not be underestimated, especially now that they are highly valued by Kublai Khan.

The Quanzhen Sect is now being ignored by the imperial court.

One ebbs and another, we really have to be cautious when facing Pu Shi.

It's not that the Quanzhen Sect is afraid of Pu, but the current situation of the Quanzhen Sect is indeed not good, and it is unwise to provoke Kublai Khan's highly regarded courtiers.

"If there are so many worries, nothing can be done." Zhang Junbao shook his head.

Although Yang Zhilian and the others were justified in their concerns, how could they do things if they really thought so?

Yang Zhilian and the others looked embarrassed.

"I can't blame you." Zhang Junbao said again, "The Quanzhen Sect has concerns, so does Mrs. Pu have no worries? I don't think so. Mrs. Pu has offended many people in Quanzhou for so many years. They really want to get along with Quanzhen If there is a conflict between the true sects, there will probably be many people who fall into trouble. It’s just a Four Seas Clan, does Pu’s really dare to bring the matter to Kublai Khan’s side?”

"Master, what do you mean?" Liang Zhiyong asked.

"Treat the Four Seas Gang as a crooked evil spirit." Zhang Junbao replied.

"It's feasible." Miao Dao nodded, "The big deal is that we can collect more evidence."

Liang Zhiyong and Yang Zhilian no longer objected.

After all, we need to solve the Zhou family's affairs right now, so the Four Seas Gang really can't stay.

If the Four Seas Gang is really that kind of orthodox sect, it's not easy for me to make a move here.

But the other party has done so many unseen things, as long as the Quanzhen Sect wants to investigate, the evidence will soon be available.

As for doing so or being criticized, so what?
At least all the upper-level figures of the Four Seas Gang will be killed once, and no one will be killed unjustly.

Zhang Junbao and the others had an idea, and the steward of the Zhou family was not idle.

Since the Four Seas Gang is unreliable this time, he plans to find other people to help unload the goods.

It's a pity that after searching for two days, no one dared to accept their Zhou family's business.

Even though he had expected it in his heart, the steward of the Zhou family still sighed in his heart.

He has already paid several times his previous salary, but no one dares to accept it.

The deterrent force of the Four Seas Gang in Lin'an Mansion is too great.

On the third night, someone came to the door, saying they were looking for Zhang Junbao.

This surprised Zhang Junbao, he didn't know many people in Lin'an Mansion.

He is still thinking about how to deal with Luo Tingshuang tomorrow, because it will take some days for the Quanzhen Sect to collect evidence.

"The way of the world or the Maotu Palace?" Zhang Junbao made a guess in his heart.

Along the way, I also had some intersections with the two women.

After thinking about it, Zhang Junbao still met the visitor.

After the visitor explained his purpose, Zhang Junbao realized that Fang Yilian was looking for him.

Zhang Junbao almost slapped his head, why did he forget him.

The main sphere of influence of Mingjiao is in the south.

Fang Yilian did not come over, but was on a nearby boat.

Zhang Junbao knew that Fang Yilian didn't want to meet people from Quanzhen Sect.

Even if Miao Daoyi and him helped save Prime Minister Wen before, Fang Yilian could not completely let go of Quanzhen Sect.

It is impossible for Miao Daoyi to let Zhang Junbao go there alone, even if the boat is only a hundred feet away from Zhou's fleet.

Regarding Miao Daoyi coming together, Fang Yilian didn't say much. He had a lot of dealings with him before, so he didn't feel so disgusted with Miao Daoyi.

"Daozhang Zhang, are you in trouble?" After sitting down, Fang Yilian said with a slight smile.

"A small matter." Zhang Junbao replied.

"Zhang Daochang's words are insincere." Fang Yilian still had a faint smile on his face, "If only the Four Seas Gang is nothing, but if Pu's is added, it will be different. If it is a trivial matter, come forward in the name of Quanzhen Sect , How dare the Four Seas Gang refuse to follow?"

Zhang Junbao's face was slightly embarrassed, he knew that Fang Yilian couldn't hide these things.

After all, this is Fang Yilian's territory.

"I'm ashamed, it's a bit difficult to do." Zhang Junbao sighed, "I didn't expect Mrs. Pu to intervene."

After speaking, Zhang Junbao looked at Fang Yilian.

Fang Yilian didn't seem to notice Zhang Junbao's eyes, and took a sip of tea from his teacup.

He thought he would put down the teacup after taking a sip, but to Zhang Junbao's surprise, Fang Yilian didn't stop, holding the teacup as if for tea, leaving him and Miao Daoyi aside.

Zhang Junbao was a little puzzled.

Shouldn't this be a send-off?
But I didn't say a word when I came here just now.

He turned his head and glanced at Miao Daoyi, Miao Daoyi was also puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Fang Yilian's gourd.

"You two don't want to try it?" Fang Yilian asked, "This is the top-quality Yuqian Longjing, even better than the one offered as a tribute to Kublai Khan."

What else can Zhang Junbao and Miao Daoyi say, let's taste tea.

Now Fang Yilian doesn't want to say it, and they can't force him.

After this drink, Zhang Junbao drank three cups of tea, about half an hour later, Fang Yilian was talking about some local customs in Lin'an, rambling about, making it difficult for the two of them to answer.

"Can't figure it out?" Fang Yilian put down his teacup suddenly, and stared at Zhang Junbao with a smile.

Zhang Junbao was stunned, and Fang Yilian changed the subject, making him a little unresponsive.

"Can't figure out what?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"Don't you come to see me because of the Four Seas Gang?" Fang Yilian asked.

Zhang Junbao secretly sighed in his heart, of course he came here for this purpose.

Although I have made a decision to deal with the Four Seas Gang, this method is not so perfect after all.

If they can listen to Fang Yilian's thoughts, it will definitely be very helpful to their plan.

"Daozhang Zhang, your golden mouth is really hard to open." Fang Yilian said again.

These words moved Zhang Junbao's heart, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "I wonder what Mr. Fang taught me? If you can give me some pointers, Quanzhen Sect and I will be very grateful."

"Wouldn't it be better to say that earlier?" Fang Yilian smiled and clapped his hands.

A servant came up, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Zhang Junbao smelled a bloody smell, which came from the wooden box.

Fang Yilian gestured, and the servant opened the wooden box.

"What?" Zhang Junbao and Miao Dao stood up suddenly, staring at the things in the wooden box with wide eyes.

This is a human head, Pu Huanyang, steward of the Pu family fleet.

Of course Zhang Junbao knew each other.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Miao Daoyi hastily cupped his hands towards Fang Yilian.

In his opinion, Fang Yilian helped Quanzhen Sect get rid of Pu Huanyang, without the presence of the Pu family, he would not have so many worries about taking action against the Four Seas Gang.

Zhang Junbao also realized at this time that Fang Yilian had helped him a lot.

Fang Yilian glanced at Zhang Junbao, and Zhang Junbao hurriedly expressed his thanks.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't deal with Pu's people to help you." Fang Yilian said with a smile, "As for Pu's, as long as there is a chance, I will kill him. Don't be surprised, for a scum like Pu's, you can kill him anyway. , everyone in the Pu clan deserves to die."

At the end, Fang Yilian's face was full of murderous intent.

Zhang Junbao and the two were silent.

The Ming religion rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and of course it did not have the slightest favor for the Pu family, which had committed numerous crimes and served Kublai Khan.

The Ming Cult has killed many such people over the years.

It's just that Pu's power is too great, coupled with the protection of the court, even the Mingjiao cannot completely pull it out for a while.

"You don't have to worry about the Four Seas Gang, after tonight, there will be no more Four Seas Gang." Fang Yilian quickly returned to normal, and said again.

Zhang Junbao and Miao Daoyi looked at each other, they didn't expect Fang Yilian to solve all their troubles.

People from the Mingjiao took action, but the Four Seas Gang was not enough.

"No matter what, I'm really grateful for this matter." What else can Zhang Junbao say, although those related to the Pu family are also within the scope of Mingjiao's attack, but he is more willing to believe that Fang Yilian's attack this time is to help them.

It has not been a year or two since Sihai helped the Pu's family. The Mingjiao didn't make a move before, but now it's such a coincidence.

"I've said it all, this is our own business, it's not to help you, it just coincides with the meeting." Fang Yilian waved his hand and said, "Ah, yes, there are rumors in the world that Daoist Zhang and the two of the Liu Dao Sect a few days ago Is this beauty spending a night on a deserted island?"
