Chapter 12: Cao Gang Change (First Update, Asking for Support)
"Vow to worship Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth and form an alliance for Danchi Jiangshan"
A pair of central halls hangs on the wall, and a simple couplet reveals some news that is not known to outsiders. Pan Ziqin, who was sitting in the first seat, was just silently smoking a cigarette pouch, and occasionally, he would focus on the twelve hall masters in the gang.
Without exception, they all unbuttoned the placket of their robes, and the sharp corners of the placket were folded inward, slightly with the style of "sea green" in front of them, and the braids were also untied, and the hair was draped behind. When the Great Incense Hall was opened, there were only twelve hall masters here, and there were no outsiders in the rest.
"Helper, in the opinion of the junior brother, that is, Prince Zheng sent someone to contact us, such a great opportunity, we have to seize it!"
Sun Haoran looked at the silent helper, and said,
"That is, when you took the brothers to seize the position of the Cao Gang, the brothers swore that the pseudonym of the Cao Gang, called to assist the Cao Yun, in fact, was against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, since now that Zheng Wangye has recovered Jiangnan, it is the time for me to respond to the incident......"
Weng Guofang looked at the gang leader and straightforwardly pointed out the reason why they joined the Cao Gang back then. More than ten years ago, in the previous dynasty, they were not members of the Cao Gang, they were all Cao soldiers on the Cao boat, although they were later forced to surrender to the Qing, but many of them were still loyal, and then after being dismissed as a boatman, it was in that study Pan Ziqin led the brothers to seize the position of the Cao Gang leader who was originally in charge of the canal people, so as to grasp the power of the Cao Gang, and because of this, he was from that time on, the purpose of the Cao Gang became "anti-Qing and restore Ming." ”。 It's just that it has always been done in secret, and only a few people know about this purpose.
"Incident Response ......"
In the midst of the deep groaning, Pan Ziqin looked at everyone, and then said.
"How do you respond?"
"How not? Now the help of tens of thousands of brothers gathered in Qinghe, in this city, half of the brothers in the gang are brothers, so if there is no more trouble, when will it ......"
Without waiting for Wang Wencheng to finish speaking, Pan Ziqin suddenly sneered.
"Humph......"
Sneering, Pan Ziqin looked at everyone and said.
"I'm afraid that before we contact our brothers, someone here will sell us, and then we will have to kill you and me!"
After saying this, Pan Ziqin looked at Sun Hao, and then asked sharply.
"Am I right? My good second brother! ”
His rhetorical question made Sun Haoran's face suddenly turn pale, and he hurriedly waved his hand to justify.
"Big brother, don't be kidding, you know me, me, but I can only fall asleep in old clothes at night......"
As soon as Sun Haoran's voice fell, Pan Ziqin had already stood up and said.
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, how would you know that Commander Zhang of the Yuyuan Army was hiding on the Cao boat and killed them in the Qing River......
Staring at Sun Haoran, Pan Ziqin's tone was full of murderous looks, two years ago, the Yuyuan army, which was defeated by the Qing army, hid in the Cao boat, disguised as a boatman, and tried to escape to Jiangnan under the cover of the Cao Gang, but who would have thought that it would be captured by the Qing army in the Qing River. It was from then on that Pan Ziqin suspected that there was a spy in this gang.
Who is this spy?
For the past two years, he has been secretly investigating the identity of the spy. It's just that that person has always been very careful, if he hadn't received a message half a month ago, I'm afraid he wouldn't know who this person is. He never thought that the reason why this person betrayed him was because of such a bad reason.
Since then, he has endured, waited, waited for the right opportunity. Now, we can't wait any longer, and if we wait any longer, it will only ruin the big things in the gang.
"Then when you are so excited, you are allowed to help the master? I still promise you a high-ranking official! ”
Faced with a question, Sun Haoran, who originally seemed to be full of naivety, suddenly became stammered.
"Helper, I, I, I, I am also forced to do so, I ......"
As soon as his legs were weak, Sun Haoran knelt on the ground, looked at Pan Ziqin and said.
"Gang leader, I, I sold Zhang to lead them, but, but I have never sold the secrets of the gang, then, the surname Kang is so good that I don't know at all, we, we ...... at the beginning"
Before he could finish his words, something was suddenly thrown in front of him, and he saw a bloody head being thrown in front of him.
"Ah......h
Looking at the head, Sun Haoran was dumbfounded, he looked at the head on the ground in dismay, not to mention him, other people also looked at the head on the ground in shock,
"Helper, this is ......"
Although there was blood on the head, everyone still recognized it, this was the head of Zhang Ping's daughter-in-law Fang, and the person who walked in was Zhang Ping himself, his clothes were bloody, he was holding a knife in his hand, and his face was pale, after he threw the head on the ground, he didn't even look at Sun Haoran who was kneeling on the ground, and said to the helper.
"Gang leader, this is the head of that slut, surnamed Sun, not to mention that you hooked up with this slut and committed adultery, breaking the gang rules, that is, you betrayed the secret of the gang, it is enough to make your head in a different place, for the sake of you and my father are brothers, as long as you confess your guilt, I will ask the helper to keep your whole body!"
In the Cao Gang, the backbone is the heaviest, if someone violates the gang rules, they should confess their guilt and wait for the fate. The reason why Zhang Ping said this is also because he values righteousness.
"Helper, all, it's all Fang's, if it weren't for that sassy girl, I, how would I ...... Thirteen, you, you will let your brother go, for your brother ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Pan Ziqin looked at him and said sharply:
"The rules of our gang, since you Sun Haoran deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, betrayed my gang, and violated the gang rules, let me spare you, thirteen ......"
At the moment when Pan Ziqin closed his eyes, Zhang Ping, who was holding a knife in his hand, raised the knife and cut off Sun Haoran's head with a knife, and when the sound of the head rolling to the ground came to his ears, Pan Ziqin, who was closing his eyes, muttered silently.
"I don't dare to forget the previous dynasty, I will teach Ercao from one to another time, and I will come to worship my ancestors today, when will I see the Han palace robe again......"
This seven-character ballad was originally sung by everyone when the incense hall was opened, and at this time, the reason why Pan Ziqin chanted this seven-character ballad was not only to remind himself, but also to remind everyone that he did not want his original intention.
"Helper, since this traitor has been eliminated, do we ......have trouble now?"
Even if there is no mole anymore, then it is natural to respond to Jiangnan now, opened his eyes, and looked at everyone in this hall, Pan Ziqin nodded silently, and then said.
"When will you see the Han palace robe again...... Didn't the brothers wait so many years for today? Where is Master Zheng? Invite him to come over, he has a message from Zhu Junmen, let's see what arrangements Zhu Junmen has over there. ”
