Ma Cheng and Dong Mansion, although they are both the lords of a gang and one of the three giants of Ma Cheng, but they are very different in style, and Aguli's residence is outside the city, which is a large grassland.

Meng Dan was born in the green forest, and he is not particular about food and housing, but Dong Ping is quite particular about life, rockery pavilions, and high walls, and the courtyard covers a huge area.

"Mr. Dong, I promise you this, but you don't want to play tricks on me Meng Dan, you said that within five days, the new county magistrate will arrive, but now it's been a few days? ”

Meng Shan frowned and looked at Dong Ping and said: "My gang is not as rich as Mr. Dong, the brothers who help the people have nothing to do for more than ten days, and they still have a family to support." ”

Meng Shan is as his name suggests, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and angry eyes, and he is irritable at the moment, and the entire Meng Mansion lobby is filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Meng Dan, don't worry, the county magistrate is not the future, but he is thirty miles outside the city, and he has been refusing to enter the city, I have sent someone to follow Dong Ping's wishes, disguised as a common person to invite the county magistrate into the city, but I haven't even seen the other party's face, it seems that the county magistrate has been alert. ”

Aguli was bare-chested, touched his messy hair with some distress, and said irritably.

The Agu leader said cautiously. Dong Ping shook his head with a sincere smile on his chubby face: "This matter has nothing to do with Taishou, it's me who missed Xingzang." ”

"Speaking of which, it's not all your fault. As soon as he said this, Meng Dan was a little irritable, and looked at Dong Ping angrily: "If you hadn't sent someone to ambush you halfway, but you were picked up by others, how could the rich man be alert." ”

Dong Ping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the guards of the Jiang family would be so powerful, but the ones we sent were all brave men under our hands, and they were easily defeated by the other party, which was more powerful than ordinary county soldiers." ”

"So what now? People don't go into the city, they don't retreat, they can afford it, but we can't afford it. ”

Dong Ping said a little irritably: "Recently, a new small gang that doesn't know whether to live or die has been robbing us of business, and many brothers in the gang have passed. ”

Probably five days before Jiang Qiao's men and horses were stationed outside the city, a small gang appeared in the city, grabbing land everywhere, Meng Dan didn't care too much at first, after all, the three giants of Ma Cheng were here, how could they care about a small gang of dozens of people.

It's just that this small gang has been recruiting troops everywhere these days, constantly swallowing up small gangs, but in half a month, it has grown to more than 200 people, and if it continues to rise like this, I am afraid that the fourth largest gang will appear in Macheng.

The most important thing is that the other party's path is the same as Meng Dan's, it is also to find a job for the people at the bottom, and the commission is much less than that of Meng Dan, and many of his gangs have been dug up, which makes Meng Dan have a sense of crisis.

"Rest easy. Dong Ping waved his hand and said: "It's just a small gang of Pieer, after this matter is over, I will help you cook, and I will work together, and I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with a stunned young man?"

"That's what you said. Meng Dan stretched out three fingers, stared at Dong Ping and said: "Three days, at most Lao Tzu will wait for three more days, if there is no result after three days, then I will not accompany you and say goodbye." ”

With a fist hug at the two, Meng Dan directly took a few of his subordinates back.

"We don't care about the affairs of your Emperor's people, but you must ensure that my business will not be affected, this is what I told Taishou at the beginning. Watching Meng Dan leave, Aguli also stood up, looked at Dong Ping, and said in the broken Huangji Mandarin.

"Rest assured, Leader Aguli, I will take care of this matter, but I hope that Leader Aguli can lend me some more people, these people are not so simple. Dong Ping said indifferently.

"Yes, I will lend you 300 barbarian warriors, but the reward will have to be increased by another tenth. Aguli laughed.

"Leader Agul, you are doing this without following the rules. Dong Ping frowned.

"You have to be clear, this is what you are begging us to ......" Agul's eyes flashed with this rebellious look: "Our barbarian sons only believe in power. ”

"I hope the leader of Aguli will not forget, your horses are worth the current price because of you, and the salt and iron you need are also bought from you, if you want to talk to me about strength, I can immediately cut off the trade with you, I believe that in this steppe, there are tribes willing to cooperate with me." Dong Ping sneered.

"You ......" Aguli turned his head and glared at Dong Ping angrily.

"Although you are not from my Emperor Pole Country, but the rules of my Emperor Pole Country, I still hope that the leader of Aguli will understand something, don't think too highly of yourself, and keep the name too much, the leader of the Ruyi tribe, dare to call it out!?"

Dong Ping stared at him coldly, and said Sen Ran: "Do you know that as long as Taishou gives an order, how many people in your tribe will starve to death this winter because of your words?"

Aguli looked at Dong Ping with a gloomy face, spat fiercely for a long time, and turned to leave.

"Before dark, I hope to see the three hundred warriors, though I don't think they deserve the title of warrior. Looking at Aguli's back, Dong Ping said indifferently.

"Are you insulting my barbarian warrior?" Aguli suddenly turned his head and looked at Dong Ping calmly.

"yes. Dong Ping nodded as a matter of course: "Last year, your barbarians gathered 10,000 to attack, but they were defeated by Captain Yuyang with 2,000 people, such a force, I really can't think of how to be worthy of the title of warrior?"

"Hmph!" Aguli's face turned purple and he turned to leave, if he had the chance, he swore that he would definitely break this damn Emperor Pole into pieces.

"I don't know. Watching Aguli go out, Dong Ping sneered and shook the sleeves of his robe, turned his head and said: "Come on, scrub the ground again, the place where Aguli did, throw it out for me, dirty!"

"Wow. Several family members hurriedly came up and began to clean up according to Dong Ping's instructions.

After Dong Ping waited in the mansion for a while, a henchman came in.

"Then what is Meng Dan's reaction?" Dong Ping asked as he beckoned someone to his side.

"I have returned to his yard, and I am not in a good mood to see the situation, and I have been working hard in the yard. The henchman bowed.

"If you don't have a plan, you can't make a big deal!" Dong Ping snorted coldly, got up and said, "Let's go, take a few people, and follow me to the inn." ”

In Macheng, the largest inn is Dong Ping's industry, the layout is quite stylish, but unfortunately the asking price is too high, and the merchants are obviously unwilling to spend in this kind of place, but the Nightingale Pavilion next door is overcrowded every night.

"Mr. Dong, our helper has been waiting for a long time. As soon as he entered the inn, he saw Ye Lucai greeted him with a smile and looked at Dong Pingdao with a smile.

"Hmm. Dong Ping nodded lightly, followed Ye Lucai, walked behind each other with a few cronies, pulled a few steps away, and said in a low voice: "Did Zhao Ye go out today?"

"No, a few of the gang members came to tell him something about the gang, and everyone but one left. The steward of the inn bowed.

"When?" Dong Ping frowned.

"Not so long ago. The shopkeeper wondered, "Sir, but what are the doubts?"

"Only one person?" Dong Ping said.

"It's true that there is only one person left, plus a dozen or so of Zhao Ye's subordinates, the people in our inn are enough to deal with it. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

"Don't be nervous. Dong Ping shook his head, secretly saying that he was too cautious, and when he followed Yelucai to the attic, the solemn expression on his face had been replaced by a cute smile, and he arched his hand to Jiang Wan, who was dressed in a clean white robe, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, meet again." ”

"Mr. Dong came to see me today, I think there is a very important matter, if it is for the matter of the subordinate and the Meng gang leader, please go back, Mr. Dong should know that one mountain does not allow two tigers, this horse city is not big, this line is so big, it is difficult for the two of us to reconcile. Jiang Miao smiled and said, Zhao Ye is his pseudonym, and it is naturally difficult for him to form a gang.

"There's something I don't know. Dong Ping frowned.

"Please. Jiang Qiao said with a smile.

"Although the Changshan Zhao family is not a family, it is also a wealthy family, why would they be interested in such a remote place?" Dong Ping stared at Jiang Qiaodao.

"Yes, Mr. Dong also knows that we are just a wealthy family and not a family, and we don't have the courage to treat money like dung like a family, we are all laymen, and laypeople should do what laypeople should do, so we came. Jiang Qiao said with a smile.

"Since Zhao Xiandi wants to replace that Meng Dan, it is okay, but since Zhao Xiandi wants to come to seek wealth, why do you just value that Meng Dan's business, which does not have much water. ”

"In the next place, I actually want to have a certain financial road, but ninety percent of the financial road in Macheng is in the hands of Mr. Dong, so ...... I hope that Mr. Dong can also consider considering my Zhao family. Jiang Miao smiled: "As for that Meng Dan, if Mr. Dong is unwilling, he can let him live." ”

"No!" Dong Ping waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Zhao Xian doesn't have to take care of it, this person is just a reckless man, without any self-knowledge, Dong has been thinking about who to replace him recently, but there has been no suitable candidate, so ...... Since Brother Zhao Xiandi intends to take over, he will take over, and he will be restrained for three days, hoping that within three days, Brother Zhao Xiandi will be able to finish this, as for that Meng Dan......

A sneer of disdain flashed in Dong Ping's eyes: "Three days later, if Brother Zhao Xian can replace him, Meng Dan's head, Dong will personally present it." ”

"Bang~"

Before the words fell, the door was suddenly kicked open roughly, Dong Ping turned his head, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, his eyes couldn't help but open, and he looked at Jiang Weak with a shocked face: "Brother Zhao Xian...... This...... What does that mean!?"

In the room, there was an eerie silence, and the door of the bedroom had been kicked and broken, but seeing Meng Dan's burly body blocking the door, like an angry tiger, staring at him fiercely, Sen Ran said: "The surname Dong, Meng Dan's head is here, if you have the ability, you can get it now." ”

"Brother Zhao Xian, what does this mean!?" Dong Ping's complexion changed greatly, and he subconsciously took two steps back, turning his head to look at Jiang Qiao.

But he saw Jiang Liang kneeling on the seat as if he had been on his knees for a while, smiled and took a sip of tea: "This tea soup is really not ordinary and unpleasant. ”

"Zhao Ye, do you dare to calculate against me!?" Dong Ping looked at Jiang Liang and said sharply.

"Calculate, sort of. Jiang Wan nodded.

"This is my inn! You can't get out!" Dong Ping said sharply.

"I know this is your inn, but it's all about the ...... in your inn Man, I really don't know where your confidence comes from?" Jiang Qiao looked at Dong Ping, shook his head and laughed.

"Someone!" Dong Ping's complexion changed and he said sharply.

The main door of the room was opened, and when he saw the shopkeeper of the inn following Ye Lucai in, he glanced at Dong Ping with some fear, and finally bowed his hand to Jiang Wanyi and said, "My lord, the inn has been controlled." ”

"You're such a big dog!" Dong Ping's eyes were a little red, his own people were rebelled, and he didn't even realize it.

"I've lived in this inn for half a month, you don't think I'm just a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, right?" Jiang Wan stood up, patted Dong Ping's shoulder and said: "In comparison, I still prefer the resources in your hands, ninety percent of the wealth of Macheng has been sucked by Taishou for so many years, and it is time to replace people." ”

"Since you know that I am a person who is too guarded, you should know that even if you arrest me, you can't take those things, besides, I still have six hundred gangs and eight hundred barbarians under my hands, just with the two hundred rabble in your hands that have just gathered, I'm afraid it will ......" Dong Ping gritted his teeth and said.

"No, I'll take it away, as for those people under you, do you think Brother Dong thinks those people thirty miles outside the city are elite?" Jiang Miao smiled: "If you are surprised, how many chances do you think there will be?"

"You...... Collusion with Jiang Weak!?" Dong Ping looked at Jiang Weak speechless in shock, as if confirming Jiang Weak's words, and there were already bursts of chaotic fighting outside.

"Don't worry, the first thing I will deal with is those barbarians, eight hundred barbarians, it's not a small number, these people, get rid of it first, as for your rabble...... Jiang Miao turned his head to look at Meng Dan: "What else do you have to say now?"

"Meng Dan, see the lord!" Meng Dan took a deep breath and knelt down towards Jiang Wan and bowed.

"Lord...... Lord?" Dong Ping frowned and looked at Jiang Weak.

"The lord of my family is the magistrate of Macheng County and the lieutenant of the cavalry, and the Hanoi River is weak!" Ye Lucai pushed Dong Ping to the ground and sneered: "You are so funny, how can you collude with yourself?"

Dong Ping's face couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, looking at Jiang Weak, the smile on his face was a little bitter, and he shook his head and said: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, but County Magistrate Jiang did not hesitate to go deep into the tiger's den, and Dong admired this courage." ”

"Think too highly of yourself, Tiger's Den?" Jiang Wan shook his head, ignored him, turned his head to look at Meng Dan and said: "Take your people, cooperate with Yeluqi, subdue the forces under Dong Ping, send people to block the city gate, and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving until the chaos in the city subsides." ”

"Huh!" Meng Shan nodded, glanced at Dong Ping coldly, turned around and left.

Dong Ping sat down on the ground weakly, he knew that the forces he had managed in this horse city for many years were completely finished, with Meng Dan's help, his subordinates did not sit in charge by themselves, how to resist.

Dong Ping didn't even doubt that the vast majority of his subordinates would surrender without hesitation, as for loyalty...... Dong Ping didn't think that those people were just gathered together because of money, as long as Jiang Wan was willing to let them continue to live and give them more sweetness, those people would not hesitate to betray themselves.

"Looks like you're prepared. Looking at Jiang Weak, Dong Ping could understand the horror of this person at this moment, and they unconsciously quietly pulled up such a big force in this horse city, and now that Meng Dan has taken refuge, those people under him have no self, I am afraid that they will soon be subdued, as for the barbarians...... Dong Ping doesn't think much of it.

"This official does not fight a battle that is uncertain. Jiang Wan smiled: "If you want to blame yourself, blame yourself for being too light on the enemy, from the time Taishou was impatient to drive me to Macheng, I knew that this Macheng might not be so easy to enter, and then after my subordinates were attacked, Taishou urged me to go to the post as soon as possible several times, even if I wanted my life, it was too urgent." ”

"I see. Dong Ping smiled bitterly: "Then I don't know what the adults are going to do with me?"

"There is a shortage of scribes under this official now, and if you want, you can stay. Jiang Liang stretched out his legs and knelt down, which was really uncomfortable.

"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?" Dong Ping raised his head and looked at Jiang Weak.

Now that Jiang is weak and skillful, he has reached the stage where he can make perfect, and he doesn't believe that Dong Ping can refuse under the current situation.

Compared with those tricks that confuse people's hearts, scheming is the first volume!

"The position of the county leader, think about it, I will not pursue the family assets you have accumulated over the years, and serve me well in the future, Jiang will not treat his own people badly, and he will give you too much, but a little wealth, what I can give you is something he can never give you. Jiang Wan patted him on the shoulder and stood up.

"Late ...... Thank you, Lord. Hearing this, Dong Ping knelt on the ground with a wry smile, and kowtowed to Jiang Wan, the position of the county is not high, but Dong Ping has served under his hands for many years, but he is still a trader.

Dong Ping knows very well that this is because Jiang Weak has no one available at hand now, so he will be appointed as the county leader, once this opportunity is missed, after Jiang Weak has completely established a foothold in this horse city, there are many children of the poor family who are willing to be used by Jiang Weak in this generation of counties.

"I like to work with smart people. Jiang Wan looked at Dong Ping with satisfaction, although he was not loyal, but before there were enough benefits, this kind of person was the most unlikely to betray.

"I don't know what the lord wants to do with that Aguli?" Dong Ping asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Qiao did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates think that this person should not be moved lightly. Dong Ping bowed and said.

Jiang Wan nodded, did not speak, Dong Ping bowed and said: "Selling war horses is one of the main interests of our horse city, if this person is driven away, in a short period of time, it will be difficult for us to find a tribe like the Aguli tribe that can sell our war horses in large quantities." ”

"The subordinates know. ”

Seeing that Jiang Qiao had no other orders, Dong Ping immediately bowed down and retreated.

Dong Ping's forces were also successfully received by Jiang Qiao, and since he took office here, he naturally did not allow any more forces beyond his control, and Dong Ping was made a county prince by Jiang Wan.

As for the men and horses under the command of the two, Jiang Weak selected some to join the army, and the others were sent to all walks of life in Macheng, and some other small gangs in the city were all dismissed by Jiang Weak.

"My lord, then Agul led people to ask for an audience outside the door. The next day, Jiang Liang officially moved into the county office, and before he could clean up, Dong Ping hurriedly ran in and said to Jiang Wan.

"Oh?" Jiang Qiao didn't have any surprise when he heard this, yesterday day, in order to rectify the forces in the city, the city gate was not opened, Aguli had the heart to rescue, but a group of barbarian cavalry, even if the Macheng city was in tatters, it was difficult to attack it, but I didn't expect that as soon as the city gate was opened today, the other party was impatient to come in.

"Bring him in, Jeruqi, you come with him, if his men dare to mess around, Aguli does not have to kill him, but whoever moves under his command will kill whomever he wants. A touch of coldness flashed in Jiang Qiao's eyes.

"Wow!" Yeluqi agreed and left with Dong Ping.
