More than a month has passed, and the boys who have recovered from their injuries have returned to the team to resume training. Jiaozhou, which was planted, and people from Jimo and Mo counties were also recruited. Liu Jiang has thoroughly mastered the underground world of these two counties. The fleeing skins did not dare to return, and those who remained in the city did not dare to show their heads. The uproar caused by the funeral is gradually subsiding. There was a rare lull in both counties.

Liu Pei seized the time to gather some displaced people and was busy on his own land. This year, the land is cleared, and the biggest work is to cut trees, clear stones and loosen the land, and if you get the grain, there will be no harvest at all. So in the first year, Liu Pei adopted the form of employment. From the second year onwards, the tenant system will be introduced. This finally gave a smile to the faces of those distressed homeless people. But at this time of calm, some people don't want to calm things down and are planning something.

Fengmeng Town is located in the northwest of Jiaozhou Bay. It's one of many small towns, so it's nothing unusual. It's the same as any other town. Dilapidated houses, dirty streets, sluggish crowds, beggars huddled in corners.

However, when the moon rises, the town of Fengmeng does not fall into darkness like other towns, but becomes lively. During the day, the lights of the green building, where the door was tightly closed, were lit, and faint music came out. The tavern owner and his fellows were also different from the way they were during the day, becoming more vigorous, rubbing the greasy tables and chairs vigorously.

Many hideous-looking and burly men appeared on the streets of the town as if they had come out of the ground. Some of them greeted each other, some were hostile to each other, and foul language gushed out of their mouths like running water! Then groups of three or five walked into the restaurant and inn and shouted to eat and drink. Or simply walk into the casino, pluck the tiny dominoes with your thick fingers, and let out bursts of cheers and curses as you win. The atmosphere of the whole town is completely different from that of the day.

For this reason, Fengmeng Town is one of the largest private salt distribution centers in eastern Shandong. There are more than a dozen large and small salt barons that live here. Every year, I don't know how many catties of illicit salt are sent here, and then they are transferred out. Therefore, it has created the prosperity of Fengmeng Town.

Those big men are the thugs of the salt lords. They are responsible for escorting each shipment of salt and protecting their own lines. If necessary, there will be a war with the officers and soldiers. These people are not clean on their hands, and everyone has seen blood! Some people even have homicide cases on them! It can be said that at least half of the really vicious people in the entire Shandong are in Fengmeng Town!

Right in the backyard of the town tavern, a few people were sitting together drinking. The front of the tavern is unremarkable, with a crooked plaque and a broken disguise. But the three small courtyards in the back are very elegantly decorated, which is very different from the image in front.

In one of the rooms, four people were drinking and chatting. Sitting on the top hand is a middle-aged man wearing a foreign uniform, and his rich image and style are indeed like an authentic Taoist. This person's surname is Wang, known as "Evil Outside", and he is the most powerful salt lord in Fengmeng Town. On the left hand sat a big man, who looked like a good man on the rivers and lakes, and even the wine cup in front of him was replaced by a sea bowl. This person is the second-ranked salt lord, surnamed Shi, and given the nickname "Meat Stone". On the right hand is the third-ranked salt owl. This person is not like the previous two, whether he is fat or strong, he always has flesh on his body. But this man has only bones left all over his body! The surname is Hou, and the person gives the nickname "Bone Monkey". And sitting at the bottom is Hu Lin.

Looking at the amount of wine and food on the table, it can be seen that they have been eating and drinking for a while. At this time, Roushi wrinkled his brows and asked, "Is there really such a big benefit?" ”

Hu Lin didn't speak immediately, but took the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass, and then said slowly, "What I said is right. The news was leaked by the guy who spent the shopkeeper. He was kicked out by the shopkeeper because he offended Liu Pei. He's just got it out of the mouths of the other guys! You can't go wrong! Not to mention anything else, just his more than 100 family members, can he afford to raise him with less silver? He also bought more than 1,000 acres of land, and now he is collecting a group of displaced people to open up the wasteland. And he was able to save such a big value by sending goods to Jinan a few times, which shows how big the benefits are! ”

The bone monkey blinked his eyes and said to the villain, "Boss Wang, what do you say? ”

The villain drank tea outside and didn't squeak. Meat Stone also asked, "Boss Wang, give me a word!" ”

At this time, the villain raised his head and said, "Brother Hu, what do you want?" ”

Hu Lin smiled and said, "I just want to take back the two places of Jiaozhou and Jimo." ”

The villain squinted his eyes and said, "Since you want to get back Jiaozhou and Jimo, why don't you do it yourself?" ”

Hu Lin sighed and said, "I've done it!" Didn't win! ”

The three of them were all interested when they heard it, and listened quietly to Hu Lin's explanation. They all know that there have always been many people, but they were overturned, which shows that the opponent is strong! Hu Lin didn't hide it, he directly said the process of the two fighting, and then said: "Then said: "Don't be surprised. Although there are more people than you, we are more than you! But most of them make up the numbers. It's okay to fight a good fight, but if you really want to fight a tough battle, you can't compare to the three of your men. So as soon as I fought with others, I was broken up! ”

Meat Stone laughed and said, "That's right! It's okay for your men to bully the common people. If there is a fight, more than 30 of my brothers will be able to overturn all of your people! He burst out laughing.

Hu Lin nodded and said, "That's why I thought of using the power of the three!" As long as the three of them rob their goods, catch people again, and torture the origin of the goods, you will have another way to make money! This benefit is no less than the benefit of private salt! And there's nothing risky! ”

His words were really to the point, and the three of them were a little moved. It turned out that Hu Lin suffered losses from Liu Pei several times, so he hit these salt lords with his idea. He knew that it was Liu Pei who supplied the flower shopkeeper, so after he instigated these three people to grab the goods, he asked for the way to kill people. Naturally, he took back Jiaozhou, Jimo and Mo counties lightly and skillfully. Moreover, Liu Pei also cleared the disobedient winged tigers for him, saving him his strength! I have to say that his abacus is very good!

In the end, the few people deliberated and decided to do it. When Liu Pei went to Jinan to deliver the goods again, the three of them worked together to intercept the goods and kidnap people on the road! The matter of inquiry will be left to Hu Lin to do. They are not good at this, and they need Hu Lin to provide the detailed time and route of Liu Pei's transportation, and they are responsible for other things. After a few people discussed the plan, they naturally pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and rested as soon as they got drunk.
