White Bone Monkey King

Jin'an did not immediately respond to Magistrate Zhang's request.

Instead, he lowered his head and thought about the risk factor of this matter.

Magistrate Zhang saw the concern in Jin An's eyes, and he looked at Feng Baotou.

Afterwards, Capt. Feng coughed lightly and interrupted Jin An's thinking: "There are some risks in this matter after all. Therefore, this time the Yamen will take the lead in encircling and suppressing the Qingshui Gang. Mr. Jin An can inspect the Qingshui Gang's assets at will."

"Young Master Jin An can take 30% of the assets confiscated from the Qingshui Gang, and Young Master Jin An can have priority in the front line."

Jin An was stunned when he heard this.

What's this called?

Are all the people who hold official privateering licenses executed?

A gang has such a big business and involves many interests in all aspects. It is natural to imagine the amount of resources in its hands.

With 30% of the seized assets and the right of first choice, County Magistrate Zhang seems to be determined to eradicate the Qingshui Gang this time.

If you don't have money, talking about money is vulgar.

Jin An secretly explained in his heart that we are fighting for the great ideal of supporting justice in the world!

…

The people of Chang County tonight.

It is destined to be a sleepless night.

The people of Chang County who were originally sleeping soundly were awakened by the sound of a large number of footsteps outside their houses and the sound of horse hooves in the middle of the night.

When some people had the courage to put on their coats and quietly opened a crack in the window, they saw a large number of government servants and village warriors on the street at night, holding torches, like a long winding dragon in the dark night. The atmosphere was depressing and chilling. Moving quickly in a certain direction under the dark night.

One of the two people riding the tall horse was Feng Baotou, who was known to everyone in Quanchang County.

Well, Capt. Feng is injured.

One of them is a young man in white. Upon closer inspection, he turns out to be Mr. Jin'an, who has become famous in Chang County recently.

"The child's father, what's going on outside?"

The mother-in-law on the bed, huddled under the quilt, asked her man nervously.

Dagui, who was originally frightened by the hundreds of people outside, was almost frightened when he heard his mother-in-law's voice suddenly coming from behind.

boom.

Dagui quietly closed the window, then quickly climbed into bed and hugged his warm wife.

"It's going to change."

"Hey, when you wake up tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood somewhere..."

"Sleep, sleep, you are a woman who knows so much about what you are doing. Even if I tell you, I don't understand."

…

Jin An was riding on the back of a bay-red horse, and beside him was Feng Baotou, who was also riding a horse. The two of them led a large number of government servants and rural warriors behind them and headed straight out of the city.

Under the cover of night, a team of hundreds of people marched toward the outside of the city with murderous intent.

According to Feng Baotou's introduction along the way, the Qingshui Gang has so many gangs that its headquarters is not in the city, but outside Chang County.

And the Qingshui Gang is the largest gang in Chang County.

But on weekdays, he is honest and honest. He does not kidnap or traffic women or children, kill or kidnap people, or oppress civilians.

The Qingshui Gang's largest source of monetary income is mainly through monopolizing the loading and unloading of merchant ships at Changxian Wharf;

The second is to monopolize all waterways in and out of Chang County, collect tea fees from passing ships and provide security;

The third is to monopolize most of the shipyards in Chang County;

The fourth is to provide waterway escort;

As well as having the convenience of monopolizing waterways, the gang was involved in the hugely profitable cloth, tea, medicinal materials business in Chang County, as well as various other industries.

The existence of the Qingshui Gang will definitely not escape the eyes and ears of the government.

But sometimes managing a place does not mean that the water is clear. Managing a place is the same as managing floods. It is better to clear the water than to block it.

Wherever human darkness exists, there will be an underworld.

Faced with the rise of other gangs that murder, arson, disturb people and kidnap, and are dangerous and uncontrollable, it is better to support the growth of a gang that adheres to the moral bottom line and let the Qingshui Gang check and balance the entire underground world in Chang County.

But who would have thought.

The Qingshui Gang has always been honest and never crossed the red line.

It is actually related to the private gunpowder case?

Sitting next to the pony in Jin'an, he was followed by a tall, bearded prisoner wearing prison uniforms and shackled hands.

This bearded prisoner was just picked up from prison by Capt. Feng.

If we want to encircle and suppress the Qingshui Gang this time, we must have someone who is familiar with the internal environment of the Qingshui Gang to lead the way.

Moreover, the status of this gang member should not be too low, and he cannot be a peripheral minion.

It just so happened that in Chang County Prison, there was a middle-level leader of the Qingshui Gang who was seriously injured due to a mistake in a fight and was imprisoned.

Jin An thought of the current situation of the Qingshui Gang, so he asked the bearded prisoner: "Tell me, your gang leader and the top brass of the gang are just living a good life, so why are you trying to hide gunpowder in secret?"

"It is a serious crime to hide gunpowder privately. If it is found out tonight, not only will you be beheaded, but the entire gang will be implicated. Is it possible that your gang leader has lost his mind and wants to rebel against the imperial court?"

Unexpectedly, the bearded prisoner was furious: "You are not allowed to insult our gang leader!"

Seeing that the bearded prisoner was about to rush Jin An and sit down on the horse, a government officer immediately stopped him and hit his weak ribs several times with the handle of his knife.

The tall, bearded prisoner immediately knelt on the ground in pain, with bulging veins on his forehead and cold sweat.

This man was a tough guy and didn't groan in pain.

Jin An stopped the government officials from continuing to beat the bearded prisoners, looked at the bearded prisoners who were imprisoned, and said: "Looking at how you defend the Qingshui Gang leader, and considering the Qingshui Gang's long-standing rules, your gang leader does not seem to be a heinous person. , as a middle-level member of the gang, you must know some inside stories that outsiders don’t know..."

"Why don't you tell me in detail whether there have been any special changes in your gang recently that have led to the current situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the government?"

"If the information you provided today is useful, I can intercede with Capt. Feng and County Magistrate Zhang on your behalf, so that you can be convicted and meritorious service, so that you can be exempted from guilt."

At this time, Feng Baotou on the side also promised the bearded man at the right time: "At that time, I can work with Mr. Jin'an to plead for you with the county magistrate."

Even Capt. Feng personally promised it, but Jin An still remained silent when he saw the bearded prisoner. Immediately, he shook his head in disappointment.

It's not that I'm disappointed that I didn't get any useful information.

Rather, I deeply feel that the ancients were poisoned by foolish and loyal thoughts and had no independent opinions, so I shake my head in disappointment.

The cost of education for the ancients was high.

So illiteracy is a very common phenomenon.

The high number of illiterates often means that it is difficult for the people to become wise.

But these are all the results of the Imperial Art.

At this time, if you want to discuss the Imperial Art with others, even nine heads are not enough to cut off, unless Jin An wants to take the initiative to send two knees and a head from thousands of miles away.

Jin An looked at the foolish and loyal bearded prisoner: "I know that you people in the green forest value benevolence, justice, filial piety and loyalty the most."

"But loyalty can also be divided into whether it is foolish loyalty or not."

"Sometimes being foolish and loyal is not necessarily a good thing, but can actually harm all the brothers in the gang."

Jin An continued: "Have you ever thought about it, if the Qingshui Gang really conceals gunpowder, it will be implicated for three generations, and how many brothers in the gang will be killed by then?"

"How many wives and daughters will be sold to brothels and humiliated?"
