Gao Cripple wiped his hands, sighed and continued: "Brother Shifang, you must have also seen that today's Bright Town is no longer what it used to be. ”

"I know." Although Shifang is a newcomer, it is obvious that he feels the difference.

"No, you don't." Gao Cripple said stubbornly, but he didn't know how to express it clearly, the change in Guangming Town is not just what you can see, this is just a kind of appearance, the real change, but in the roots, "By the way, you are back, the more than 300 heroes who went to visit Xiandao together, are they also back?" ”

Shifang's expression was a little gloomy: "They are all dead." It wasn't a fairy island at all, but a demon cave, and I was trapped in one place for five years, and I only got out of it half a year ago, all the way here. ”

"Unexpectedly...... All dead? In this way, this is a conspiracy, and the destruction of the Haitou Gang is not unjust. Gao lame said with a sigh.

"I'm afraid, they don't know either. The boatmen of the dozens of Haitou Gang, Fang Dao and his men were all dead. Shifang thought of the loyalty of Fang Dao, and thought of the innocent and tragic death of the martial arts people, and sighed in his heart, although they were greedy, but there was no great evil, but they ended up dying in fear, it was indeed excessive, the reason for this, Shifang thought of the person who lured them to the island, it should be the Nangong family.

Senior Wu said that in recent years, the five major immortal cultivation families have been born, is this related to the arrival of the demon clan on the night of the lunar eclipse? At least his Nangong family can't get out of it, and a few people with the surname Nangong lure him with the matter of Xiandao, and Xiandao obviously has a demon control, and this demon has an indescribable connection with the demon clan, and he can set up a space node to lure the demon clan here and trace the source...... Shifang's heart was cold, and his head was covered with fine cold sweat.

Gao Cripple thought that he recalled something terrible, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shifang, since the matter has passed, then you might as well put it down first and talk about the things in front of you." ”

Shifang came back to his senses, smiled in return, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gao, I don't know how the Brothers Gang is doing now?" Brother Gaofeng, are they okay? I heard that the Brothers Gang no longer exists, is this really true? ”

Gao Cripple sighed again, led Shifang to the backyard hall, and said as he walked: "This matter is a long story, you allow me to say it slowly, Xiaoyu, look at two cups of good tea." ”

"Yes, sir." A maid answered softly, and began to serve tea and water.

"Give it a taste, I heard that this is the emperor's tribute tea, the taste is not bad, do you know, today's bright town, as long as you have money, there is nothing that you can't buy." Gao Cripple took a sip lightly and said with an intoxicated expression.

"It's okay, the bitterness is sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant." Shifang's heart was obviously not in this place, and he said hastily.

"Yes, it is hard to be happy, but do you know how many people can share in the suffering, but not in the common prosperity? After all, money is a good thing. Gao lame stared straight at Shifang and said meaningfully.

Shi Fang was stunned for a moment, his heart moved, and he asked suspiciously: "You mean, the fall of the Brothers Gang is actually because of the yellow and white things, Brother Gao, I don't believe it." "Gao Feng, Dong Hai, Lao Wu, Gangzi's faces floated in front of him one by one, when he was hungry and hungry, he didn't have clothes to keep out the cold, but everyone worked together, no one screamed bitterly, such a brotherhood, he couldn't resist the temptation of money, this, how can I believe?

Gao Cripple didn't argue, sighed, "Alas, although I don't know the exact root, but I can't escape these things, if you have had breakfast, you must also know the current prices, it's not that my restaurant is bullying you, but the current prices in Guangming Town, that's it." ”

"You mean that the prices in the small city of light are several times higher than in other places?" Shifang was a little shocked, but he clearly saw that even the lowest-level porters could consume in the restaurant, could it be that the people of Guangming Xiaocheng were living very richly? What has happened in the past five years?

Gao Cripple nodded, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment, and then said slowly: "That's it, there are many things in it, even today I haven't completely figured it out, I'll start talking about it after you disappear." ”

"The appearance of fairy grass, in the eyes of us ordinary people, is like a story that has nothing to do with us but can be talked about, but for those in the rivers and lakes or wealthy families, it is a great opportunity. In just three days, even if the news did not spread too far, more than 300 big men have been gathered, including lone rangers, green forest thieves, martial arts families, and even people in the official government. ”

Shifang nodded.

Gao Cripple continued: "Then you also know that the Haitou Gang is the matchmaker of this visit to Immortal Island, three huge sea ships, with seven days of dry food, set off overnight, and then, there was no news. ”

"Seven days later, Qian Sen, the leader of the Haitou Gang, could no longer hold back, and stood at the dock every day to look at the sea, but unfortunately, he did not wait for everything he hoped for." With a look of regret, Gao Cripple took a sip of tea and continued: "During that time, he often came to my wine shop, without saying a word, just drinking, and always came back drunk, but always came to the dock on time in the early morning. ”

"Sure enough, two months later, the family that participated in the visit to Xiandao made a move, and as soon as he made a move, he was thunderous, in the final analysis, the Haitou Gang is just a small gang organized by porters, in the eyes of those big families, no matter what role the Haitou Gang played in this incident, he could not escape the responsibility, so, overnight, the Haitou Gang was wiped out, and Qian Sen never appeared again, I think, most of them have died."

Shi Fang's heart was sour, he thought of the Fang Dao on Immortal Island, he thought that he could repay Qian Sen, but he didn't expect that that exploration would become the biggest reason for the destruction of the Haitou Gang.

"Next, it's the story of the brothers."

"The Haitou Gang has been destroyed, the Brothers Gang is dominant, you can't imagine what kind of behemoth the Brothers Gang has become in just over a year."

"Even more powerful than the previous Haitou Gang? I knew that Brother Gao Fenggao was upright, and under his leadership, the Brothers Gang would definitely grow and develop. At this moment, Shifang seemed to have forgotten the fact that the Brothers had split.

"What's more, it's dozens of times that of the Haitou Gang!" Gao lame glanced at Shifang and said.

"Brother Gao, this is a bit exaggerated." Shifang secretly thought that he was not an outsider, but he had really resisted the goods at the dock, and naturally knew that the Haitou Gang was powerful at that time, and the Brothers Gang was dozens of times stronger than them, and it was less than two years, how could this be possible.

Gao Cripple's eyes were a little deep, and he said in a firm tone: "No, it's not an exaggeration at all, maybe what I see is not what the Brothers Gang really looks like, the speed of its development, I can't believe it, do you know that since the fall of the Haitou Gang, the leader of the Brothers Gang, Gao Feng raised his arms and shouted, how many porters have been condensed, but these are not the most important." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Cripple's throat was a little dry, he picked up the teacup, only to find that there was no tea in it, smiled bitterly, and continued: "The Brothers Gang is developing rapidly, in addition to Gao Feng's personality charm, there are two most important points. First, Xie Junshou's strong support, and second, the bright town suddenly poured into a large amount of wealth, and these riches entered the brothers' gang as soon as possible. ”

"Don't ask me why, I don't know, this is what I learned later, I remember that in the early stage of the development of the Brothers, because of the fall of the Haitou Gang, how many people lost their jobs, Gao Feng couldn't bear it for a while, and almost took in most of them, but at that time, the Brothers Gang, where could they afford to raise nearly a thousand brothers, for this reason, Gao Feng didn't know how many nights he didn't sleep well, and I often saw him personally leading Dong Hai and a few people, taking the lead in carrying goods in the middle of the night, but because of the shyness in his pocket, he never drank water and wine even once."

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for more than a month. You don't know, most of the industries in the city have been bought by the brothers, and with this wealth, Gao Feng has done a lot of commendable good deeds, such as helping poor porters build houses, such as making great efforts to clear the reefs on the seashore, such as taking care of the disabled elderly......"

"Then why does the government support it, and where does this wealth come from, in this case, there must be another force behind it, otherwise, how can the sky mess with pie for no reason. Could it be that Brother Gao Gao doesn't know how to guard at all? Shifang asked suspiciously.

"I don't know," the cripple shook his head blankly, "I just remember, I also asked Gao Feng this question, and his answer at that time was, you see, the people of the small city of light are living a prosperous life, no matter what the purpose of the person behind it is, but he does bring us tangible benefits, and so, it is enough." ”

"It is enough to be able to do something really good for the people." Shifang muttered and repeated, there was a touch in his heart, but he couldn't say clearly, this is Brother Gao Gao.

"It's a pity, in two years, the Brothers Gang has developed into a behemoth, so huge that even with the cohesion of the peak, it can't be controlled, yes, you don't believe that those yellow and white things can mess up the feelings between brothers, but, what if it's a huge amount of wealth? There are so many riches that you can't imagine that can change your life, what choice will you make? Besides, taking this wealth does not really harm the interests of the peak in essence, in this case, Shifang, what about you, how will you choose? Glancing at the silent Shifang, Gao Lame Zifu said again: "In the final analysis, Dong Hai and they are all from poor backgrounds, and naturally they also have their own wishes, and everyone lives for themselves. ”

"And how are they doing now?" Shifang pondered for a moment before accepting this fact.

"They are all very good, the mansion compound, the life is rich, Gao Feng married a wife and had children, but a little discouraged, since the dissolution of the Brothers' Gang, they have withdrawn from the struggle for power, and only take care of the dock. Dong Hai's second child is also about to be born, and the fifth child has accepted the third concubine, although they respect Gao Feng very much, but they don't seem to deal with each other, for example, Gangzi built a Huiyun Temple in Ye Yunfeng, and the fifth child built a Chongfu Temple in Tianzhu Peak, which seems to be catering to the preferences of the person behind him. Moreover, since three years ago, the original brothers of the Haitou Gang have rarely gotten together. ”

Shifang stayed for a moment, and then left gloomily. When the cripple saw him, he was secretly surprised in his heart, more than three hundred heroes, he didn't expect that only he survived in the end, but he didn't have a trace of doubt, it should be the thing that Dong Hai once told him, who can imagine that just a few postures have created more than a dozen first-class masters, otherwise, the Brothers Gang would not have developed so smoothly, and those postures are all from this little monk who is only in his early twenties.
