Chapter 14 Prices

In the northwest of Guangzhou Prefecture, there is a mountain dangerous place called Baitenggang. Not far from the hill is a waterway.

On weekdays, this place is quite lively, because many travelers in Guangzhou who walk under water will choose to go ashore at the landing port here, and then walk for about half a day before they can enter the city.

Of course, this "hustle and bustle" is limited to the daytime.

After all, there was no electricity in those days. Apart from the fireworks and alleys and some special places, there were few places in the city that were open for business when it was dark, let alone places outside the city.

But tonight, there is something unusual in this place...

I saw more than 30 men with uniform clothing, big and thick, and hateful faces, all equipped with weapons and torches, gathered here since the evening.

This group of people is obviously not a good person, and they are obviously waiting for people here.

Who are you waiting for?

Then of course we are waiting for Shuangxiong and the others.

According to the original estimates of this group of people, the Cangdu Gang's ship should arrive around the hour of You, but before they knew it, they waited eagerly to the hour of Hai.

"Alai, it's already this time but there's no sign of it... Is the news from the spy wrong?" Looking at the almost completely black water surface, Zu Tingfeng, who had been impatient, finally asked Alai, the Deli Masao beside him.

"Gangmaster, the news is definitely correct. When the boat passed by Mafang Village and Sanshui River in the afternoon, several spies saw it. If they detoured, they would definitely be discovered." Alai replied.

"Then what you mean is that they are deliberately stopping on the river and not coming over?" Zu Tingfeng paused and said, "Or... what happened to their ship on the last section of the road?"

"This..." Alai is not a drone, so how could he know what's going on.

Zu Tingfeng didn't really want him to answer, he just wanted to hear what his subordinates think of his two guesses and complained at the same time.

By chance, just as they were talking about this, a sharp-eyed person among the gang members who were looking out on the shore saw several silhouettes of boats sailing from the river.

"Gangmaster! Here comes!" The gang stared at him for a few more seconds. After confirming that he was not wrong, he shouted loudly.

At this point in time, there are generally no ferry or cargo ships that continue to drive on the water, and the fishermen's own boats and fishing boats are not that big; only this green forest road ship will drive in the middle of the night, and dare to drive...

Therefore, just seeing the shadow, you can basically conclude that this is the Cangdu Gang’s people coming.

"Hmph... I finally waited." As soon as I heard that I was not waiting in vain, Zu Tingfeng's anger suddenly went down.

He quickly regained his calmness, sorted out his expression, walked slowly towards the landing port, set off his PO color, and prepared to start implementing his "dumping and dust-washing" plan.

What is the abacus this Zu Tingfeng's plan? It's very simple. He just wants to intercept the "must-pass" of Shuangxi, and take over Shuangxi before Hao Jingyu and the government, and please go back to entertain him.

It would be great if he could win over the other party successfully during this period; even if he didn't succeed, he could also conduct the first test of these two "third-party personnel specially invited by the government".

In addition, after hearing that Shuangxie had come to him first, 80% of them would have suspicion that "Shuangxie has been won over by Zu Tingfeng", which invisibly pushed Shuangxie to Zu Tingfeng.

It can be said that Zu Tingfeng's pre-emptive strategy is invincible. Tonight, as long as he successfully brings the person to him, no matter whether he can win over the other party, his goal will be achieved.

Dongshi

After a while, with the sound of the wooden boat rubbing against the stone shore, the Cangdu Gang's boats all approached the shore.

The boat handle didn't even take action, and the gang members of the Zhenyun Gang (Zu Tingfeng is the leader of the Zhenyun Gang) on ​​the shore tied the boat ropes for the other party.

"As soon as it soars into the sky, clouds are in the five mountains."

"The sound shines through the world and spreads across the world."

Although both sides have guessed the other party’s identity, they are both top gangs on “13 Dao”, so they still have to leave the rules of the code.

After the incision was correct, a person walked down from the boat. It seemed that he was also a small leader of the Cangdu Gang, but he was not Gan Feihong.

"I've met the leader of the ancestral gang." Facing this Green Forest Road, A Yuan acted neither humble nor arrogant.

"Well..." Zu Tingfeng's seniority and status were much higher than the other party, and he was not the character of a polite and polite person like Hao Jingyu, so even though the opponent had already bowed his fists and greeted him actively, the leader of the Zu Gang just spoke out his nostrils and nodded.

The next second, without waiting for Zu to listen to Feng's order, Alai stepped forward and said the line he had prepared: "Brother Yuan, today our gang leader will bring people to welcome you. Why don't you even show your face? Isn't this too shameful, right?"

His words raised the other party.

The implication is: Let Gan and Dongxi Du come out as soon as possible, don’t hide it, otherwise we will turn against each other.

Zu Tingfeng thought that a small character like A Yuan could not handle such a situation. As long as he put a little pressure on him, the other party would do what he wanted, but he did not expect...

"Ha..." A Yuan looked fearless. He chuckled and politely replied, "Brother Lai, you are misunderstood. Our Cangdu Gang has always treated fellow Green Forest with courtesy. How could he deliberately not give face? But..." He paused for a moment, and the expression on his face seemed to be almost unable to hold back. "Our Brother Gan, we are not on these ships now."

"What?" Alai's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Zu Tingfeng's face behind him also darkened.

A Yuan's words were not over: "Brother Gan got off the boat with the two young heroes Sun Huang and their companions the day before yesterday, and changed to land. According to their path... I think I had already entered the city before noon today?"

"This...you..." Alay looked speechless.

"What? Brother Lai doesn't believe it?" A Yuan said, "Otherwise, please follow us on the boat to check it out?"

"No need." Zu Tingfeng finally said a complete sentence to the other party, "Since there is no fate, that's all."

After all, he was a green forest hero. He quickly accepted the fact that he was put on a slightest, turned into a smile, and said coldly: "Hmph... Su Wen's East and West poison, his magic tricks and his behavior is rude. Today, Zu has seen one or two..."

Zu Tingfeng said this while turning around and preparing to lead the team away.

There is nothing he wants here anymore, and no matter how much he keeps it, he will be humiliating himself.

However, before leaving, he still left a sentence to himself: "I want to see if even Gong Lianjun's death can be calculated."

…………

At the same time, in Guangzhou City, a certain ward in the Jinyiwei.

A room, a few beacons.

One table of mahjong, four men.

These four people... were in white satin clothes, one had a constable suit, one had no eyes, and the other had no neck.

"Haha~ I touched 30,000! Hula!" Sun Yixie pushed another card, which was the fifteenth he won tonight.

Although Huang Donglai, who was sitting on his left, he was not panicked, because with his friendship with Brother Sun, no matter how much he lost, he could still owe it, drag it... and finally betray it.

But the man in white and the person wearing constable clothes looked solemn...

"Hey? The two of you lost all again? It's okay, I still have some silver bills here, so I will continue playing." Looking at the two of you frowning, Sun Yixiu reached into his sleeve without hesitation and prepared to pay.

"No, no, no... Young Master Sun..." Bai Zhulong, the chief constable of Guangzhou Prefecture, was a lot of money, but he lost tonight. If he asked Brother Sun again, he would "borrow" him... Even if the other party did not charge interest, he would be a little unable to withstand it.

And the man in white...is OK; although he was already sweating coldly, he had not lost his attitude.

He is a "deputy thousand household" and his family's wealth is not comparable to a captain.

Of course, Brother Sun’s family is not something he can compare with just a thousand households…

"Haha...Sun Shaoxia's card skills are superb, and Li is willing to give up the disadvantage."

The book has arrived here, so we won’t keep it a secret. This Deputy Qianhu, the man in white who appeared many times in this story, was named Li Chongda. He has been dealing with Green Lindao for many years. He can be said to be a veteran of the "anti-gang group" who is specifically in charge of this area.

He had a little friendship with Yun Shili in the "Storm and Clouds and Water Moon", so he heard a lot of anecdotes about Sun and Huang from the latter. This time, he was also following this relationship and asked Sun and Huang to do this.

However, Li Chongda never expected that as soon as the Cangdu Gang brought Shuangxi into the city, the two of them threw their companions to Hao Jingyu, and then came to the garrison without any hesitation. They also offered to ask Li Chongda to find the local snake in the city, namely Captain Bai, to "discuss countermeasures."

After these two guys were done like this, wouldn’t Li Chongda’s move to help Cangdu help him to avoid suspicion become unnecessary? Wouldn’t he just ask the official to escort them faster?

What's even more outrageous is that after Li Chongda called Bai Zhulong, Shuangxie did not talk to them about serious matters, but just pulled them to have a meal together, and then asked everyone to "go out and dry water" to contact each other.

This method of not treating himself as a guest caught Li Chongda off guard. He couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: Is this yours or mys?

But he thought about it, because what Shuangxiu proposed was not an excessive request, and he had something to ask for, so he cooperated with it.

As for this cooperation... he and Captain Bai exported thousands of taels of silver within a few hours.

"Hahaha, I'm just lucky." Sun Yixie replied with a smile, "You must not take the little money you owe me...ah? Hahaha..."

After hearing this, Li Chongda and Bai Zhulong were all muttering in their hearts: Are you worried about owing so much gambling debt for no reason? We are shameless people, and they are also people from the public. If you tell people everywhere that we owe you debts and don’t pay them back, how can we still be able to do it?

"Uh...Sun Young Master." Li Chongda felt that he might lose everything if he continued like this, so he quickly suppressed the cards on the table and started to talk about the topic, "We have been playing this card for a long time, so let's talk about the case."

"Yes, yes." When Bai Zhulong heard this, he quickly agreed, "Mr. Li said so well, let Bai talk about this case first..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Donglai interrupted: "I'm sorry, why do you want me to say that it's so complicated? If you ask those old guys to choose, choose which one is selected, and whoever dares to come out to cause trouble will catch the target."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Yixie raised his eyebrows and continued, "Hey~ Brother Huang, you can't say that. If you kill a gang, another gang will rise up, kill a gang, and the other will emerge again." As he said, he glanced at Li Chongda on the opposite table and Bai Zhulong on his right hand, "What Lord Li and the others want is 'peaceful and stable and prosperous'. The problem cannot be solved by the 'battle' hand."

Huang Donglai's poems were obviously memorized very well, and then continued: "Hmph... Green Forest Road, why are you trying to choose a leader? Like the old Zhu family, you don't have to argue or argue?"

Sun Yixie continued: "They chose the leader, which was a hundred years earlier than the plan to get votes from the prime minister of the dynasty. If it was not decided for a day, it would be difficult for this day."

These two guys said one by one, and they corrected the play that had been rehearsed in advance. Then Li Chongda and Bai Zhulong felt numb from their scalp when they heard it.

Li Chongda thought: "The slander of these two people is amazing. I have been dealing with Green Lindao for decades, and there are many words I have heard for the first time. The key is that among the things I can understand... there are many of them that are offending and ruthless. You two are so arrogant in front of me, the Jinyiwei. Do you really don't treat me as an outsider? Or don't treat me as a human being?"

Just as Li Chongda was thinking about whether he should arrest these two people first for trial, Huang Donglai followed the trend and said to him: "Mr. Li, this matter is of great importance. I have little experience and average abilities. I am afraid... I am embarrassed to be responsible?"

"Wow! Waiting for me here?" When Li Chongda heard this, he realized in his heart that these two people wanted to negotiate terms.

Bai Zhulong is also a smart and capable person, and he also understood: these two boys first messed around and pulled us to eat and drink. When they got drunk, they said they wanted to play mahjong. Then they coaxed and deceived us to owe them a large amount of gambling debts. After the gambling, they started to blow our serious business up, and then took retreat as an advance, making a false rude... If we dare to force them, they would say that we used our power to seek personal gain and murdered the young heroes in the world to lose a little gambling debt. When we wanted to ask them to do things, they would raise the price again... Well... This Dongxixihushixihu is indeed well-deserved.
