Chapter 140: The Salt Gang Withdraws from Fengyang City
Besides, after sending the three of them away, after going back, I found that my back was soaked. The people of the Salt Gang are as fine as ghosts, and if they don't leave any longer, maybe they will really show their stuffing. Where is this visit, it's like the plague god came to the door, but it can be regarded as fooling them away.
"Uncle Zuo, what do they mean when they come to me? Is there any purpose? Besides, he asked.
Zuo Wenxiang thought to himself: You are still pretending, everyone is gone. I had to smile bitterly: "They seem to have formed a relationship with the Li family brothers and Luocheng Shuangjiao, thinking that you can untie the platoon, so they forced me to bring them here, don't blame me, I really can't stop them." β
Besides, he said "oh" and said no more. After all, the Zuo family is a serious businessman, and of course they can't fight with the salt gang, these smugglers. If you say anything more, you will blame him.
But Zuo Wenxiang has another idea: this kid can really hold his mouth, and he steps on the brakes at every critical moment.
"I said, Brother Shi, do you really know these big shots?" Zuo Wenxiang has been questioning since he heard the news, how could he have a relationship with the Li family brothers and Los Angeles Shuangjiao? First, these two parties are incompatible, and secondly, how do you know them, why don't I see that you are a person on the black and white road?
Besides, he smiled bitterly; "Where do I know them, Uncle Zuo, you know, I'm a doctor, and now someone wants to eat my meat, not to mention, and someone comes to beg me for words, what the hell is going on, I'm also confused."
Besides, he didn't look like a Mongolian person when he spoke, and Zuo Wenxiang felt strange when he thought about it.
If you really have such great skills, where will you still be trapped in this house, let alone hire a dart master from the dart board at a high price to protect you. However, there were people surrounding him before and after, and it was a real thing to ask for this or that. Zuo Wenxiang, an old Jianghu, encountered a new problem, and he really couldn't solve it for a while.
In fact, a few dart masters who protect the situation are also furnishings, the same as the lock on the door, to prevent gentlemen and villains. When they encountered the three big leaders of the Salt Gang, they immediately went into hiding. Compared with the Salt Gang, Zhenwu Dart Bureau is not just a grade behind? is not on a sequence at all.
Besides, he finally settled down, and just wanted to go into the house to rest for a while, but saw Zuo Ling rushing over in a hurry. It turned out that she heard that the people of the Salt Gang were looking for trouble, and they had to rush over if they said anything, but Zuo Dongge couldn't stop her, so she had to accompany her.
"What's the matter, Brother Xu, what happened just now?" Zuo Ling went straight to the point.
"What's the matter? Nothing. Besides, he waved his hand and smiled lightly.
"Didn't you say that the Salt Gang was coming? What about the few people? Zuo Ling looked left and right, but found nothing.
"Here it is, it's gone again." Besides, it's still laughing, a little silly.
"Gone, so easy? How is this possible, the three leaders of the Salt Gang came to you for a turn and left. Are they so naΓ―ve? Zuo Ling wondered.
Zuo Wenxiang didn't speak, he is still confused in his heart, what kind of drama is this? Although he saw it with his own eyes, it was like a dream, not so real.
Xiao Nier didn't know anything, but she was fearless, so she said bluntly: "Those people came to my brother to write a few words, and gave me a gift envelope, two boxes, and a sign that I don't know what to do." β
"That's the Salt Gang's order to repay the favor, anyone who has this kind of brand in their hands means that the Salt Gang owes him a favor, no matter what this person asks the Salt Gang to do, their subordinates have to do it." Zuo Wenxiang explained.
Besides, he was surprised, he really didn't expect this to be the case, otherwise, he might not dare to accept it. But now that he accepted it, he couldn't return it, he handed the sign to Zuo Wenxiang, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't need this, you should keep it, if you have any trouble with the salt gang in the future, you can use it as a shield." β
"It's not good." Zuo Wenxiang's hand was about to stretch out, but he retracted again.
"I really don't need it. I'm not in business, and I'm just a useless brand. "Besides, he can't wait to get rid of it immediately, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the salt gang.
Zuo Wenxiang saw that he was resolute, so he accepted it, when this thing was really useful in his hands. In the business field, the Salt Gang is a very powerful force, and with this brand, many things are much easier to do.
"Since you say so, you're welcome, count me as a favor I owe you." Zuo Wenxiang
"No, Uncle Zuo is doing me a big favor, this thing bites my hand, I'd better not put it on my body." The sign was given away, and I was relieved.
"Biting hands? This brand is not something that anyone who goes to the rivers and lakes does not want to get, it can be said that it is hard to find, I heard that the salt gang only gave away a total of two pieces, and this one is three. Zuo Dongge said with a smile.
"Brother Xu, what words are they asking you to write, so valuable?" Zuo Ling's face showed a flattering expression.
Besides, when he heard this, he got up, and his eyebrows fluttered; "We give them the eight-character mantra. Ha ha. He said those eight words.
What do you mean by those eight words? How does it sound like a spell? Zuo Ling frowned, indicating that he was puzzled.
"I also think it's a spell, I don't know what's the use, anyway, if they ask for it, I'll do it, as long as they don't bother me."
"Those eight words may be magical." Zuo Wenxiang already understood in his heart, but he still deliberately groaned.
"What's the use, if it's useful, I'll find a piece of paper myself, write a million taels of silver on it, and I can really get a million taels of silver?" Besides, let's be straightforward.
"It's not that simple, maybe it's really useful, the salt gang won't do what these people are not sure about." Zuo Wenxiang said with a smile.
The next day, Zuo Wenxiang's words came true, and the eight-character mantra he wrote was indeed worth one million taels of silver.
After the Salt Gang got the paper, it was posted on the door of one of the most prosperous commercial streets in the city, the innermost was guarded by the people of the Salt Gang, then the people of Fengyang Mansion, and the outermost was guarded by the soldiers of Fengyang Guard.
Look so closely, it's like guarding a national treasure.
Many people came up to watch, but they didn't understand what was going on.
"Is this a holy decree? It's not like ah, there is no royal seal. β
"No, it's not a holy decree."
In ancient times, if the emperor wanted to issue a letter to the people of the whole country, the local government had to copy the decree and post it on the main streets of all cities and villages, and there was a special person responsible for interpreting each decree.
No way, there were too many illiterates at that time, and the so-called notices were posted all over the city, and there were illiterate people, which is what I said.
The holy decrees are all written in classical Chinese, and they pay attention to the four Li Liu, that is, four or six sentences. For example, there is such a sentence in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng": Teng Jiao Qifeng, the word sect of Master Meng; Purple Electric Green Frost, General Wang's arsenal. Of course, this is not a standard four or six sentences of the Holy Decree, but it is just an example.
The Tang and Song Dynasty holy decrees are basically such a style, when Sima Guang came back, the imperial court appointed him as the prime minister, Sima Guang resigned on the grounds that he was not good at four or six sentences, the court did not buy it at all, and the world-famous writers would not be good at four or six sentences? You are taking the emperor for a fool. Sima Guang had no choice but to become the prime minister, of course, his poor political performance was also due to the qi of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not necessarily Sima Guang's fault.
There is an old saying that has been handed down from ancient times: literacy and hyphenation. This is the hallmark of an intellectual. In fact, it was a mistake, it should be a sentence break, why is it a broken sentence? Because there is no punctuation mark in ancient texts, sentences are constantly opened between sentences, and if you want to understand an article, the first thing you need to do is to be able to break the sentence, which is called sentence breaking, and in the terminology of philology, it is called: sentence reading.
But now under this big piece of paper, there is no one responsible for interpreting it, and everyone can't figure out what they want to do when they post this piece of paper and guard it with heavy troops.
What do these eight words mean? Is it a spell, a symbol, or something else?
It's no wonder that everyone can't understand it, and it's written in cursive, and the signature is even more wildly grassy, he wants to leave a way back for himself, in case there is trouble in the future, he can deny it, and the cursive Xu Ming is cursive that everyone Zhang Xu can't recognize, it's really just a symbol. In fact, he thought too much, except for the Zuo family and the Zhenwu Dart Bureau, only the little divine doctor and the medicine king in the entire Fengyang City were known, and no one knew that Xu Ming was the god of the road.
Although no one understood what was written on the paper, there was still an endless stream of people who came here to watch, and the news spread throughout Fengyang City.
Just one day later, in the ruins of the branch hall of Fengyang Mansion of the Salt Gang, the lost property suddenly appeared like grass growing on the ground, and a large number of gold, silver, and silver tickets and jewels in several major pawnshops and money houses in the city suddenly came back overnight, as if these treasures were placed where they were placed and had never been lost.
The three giants of the Salt Gang are all shocked in their hearts, what is the situation, these eight words are sky-high, and the property that was impossible to recover was all obediently returned.
At this moment, the three giants of the Salt Gang knew how small they were, and in Fengyang City, which had become a tiger's den in Longtan, the three of them were too light and floating, and they were not weighty at all.
The water here is too deep and muddy to play.
Sima Yanzhao, the helmsman of the Salt Gang, summoned the helmsmen of each branch, discussed major matters overnight, and then packed up his belongings. The next day, Tianmeng Mengliang summoned all the horses to withdraw from Fengyang City, and when to return to Fengyang, we will discuss again.
Although some property and personnel were lost this time, Liang Zi, who was proud of the Li family brothers and Los Angeles, was finally unraveled. This is more important than how much money there is, and neither of the Salt Gang nor these two groups of people can afford to fight to the death, so it is better to untie the knot as soon as possible.
In fact, the Li brothers and Los Angeles Shuangjiao are not so stupid, the property is returned, and it is only seven or eight tenths, and the private small treasury of the Buddha Wuliang and a few pawnshop owners and money village owners has no basis, so they have not returned a penny.
On the day when the salt gang withdrew, the city gate was opened, the ban was lifted in the whole city, the officers and soldiers of Fengyang Wei returned to the station, and the arrest of Fengyang Mansion was also done in their own way.
No one in the city noticed that the eight-character mantra posted on the wall suddenly rose without wind and flew into a tall building. A man dressed as a noble son held the paper in his hand and sneered: "It's ridiculous to really think that you are an old man with a thousand machines, but there are even more ridiculous people in the world who automatically fall into this scam." β
