Volume 1 * Shengming Society Chapter 48 * Outwitting the Salt Movement (5)
It seems that it is about to be the end of the month, this rainy twin city seems to be much quieter than usual, from Han Tianshao's side, Changyu roughly understands that this time the Qianlong Gang sent about 30 subordinates, of which 5 are masters, of course, these masters are only in the rivers and lakes, for the well-trained Mo family army, it is just in vain, these are not Changyu worried, what he is most worried about is the comfort of his brothers.
At the end of the month, as scheduled, Shen Cheng and Shen Zhong were ambushed by the river early, waiting for the fleet of the Qianlong Gang to pass by, the Hidden Dragon Gang was used to being rampant, and when they traveled naturally, they all hung a flag painted with a white snake, which corresponded to the snake on the roof of the Qianlong Gang, of course, although it was called the Qianlong Gang, but who really dared to hang the banner of painting the dragon, it was not looking for death.
The Peugeot of this Shengming Society is very simple, it is a simple 'life' word, of course, it is not holy, but also to avoid suspicion.
When the fleet of the Qianlong Gang passed by, Shen Cheng and Shen Zhong first ordered their subordinates to shoot at the people on the boat with the crossbow, and the two of them secretly swam towards the ships of the Qianlong Gang under the shooting of their brothers, and the people of the Qianlong Gang saw so many arrows flying at the same time, and the leader judged that there were at least 50 people in ambush by the river, and at night, they could not see the enemy's figure, so they ordered the boatman to speed through.
Who knows, after a while, the ship not only did not accelerate, but also stopped to the shore, just as the person who took the lead reacted, the brothers of the Shengming Society had already hugged up, because of the chaotic arrows just now, the Qianlong Gang had lost a lot of brothers, and in addition, the brothers of the Shengming Society suddenly rushed over, and all of them were skilled in martial arts, in that panic, the people of the Qianlong Gang were killed by the people of the Shengming Society by surprise.
Although among the 30 people of the Qianlong Gang, there are 5 people with good martial arts, but how can they defeat Shen Cheng and Shen Zhong, so they were also killed in the chaotic battle, this time the people of the Shengming Society were a big victory, so Shen Cheng and Shen Zhong ordered the brothers to hide the salt in the nearby mountains, and then let the brothers throw the dead people on the shore into the river, and the boat drove to the front for a while, and then docked on the shore, and left the flag of the Shengming Society on the boat.
Shen Cheng immediately set off to Yushuangcheng to inform Changyu, and when Changyu found out, he was very happy, so he said: "The brothers have worked hard this time, and when they come back, we must treat them well." ”
"Family master, although we have done it, do we have to give some news to Cao Xuan next?"
"No, if this Cao Xuan knew that the salt they transported was robbed so early, he would naturally be furious, but with Zuo Qiuzi's character, he must thoroughly investigate the source of the news, so why should we bother ourselves, it's a big deal to wait a few more days, wouldn't it be better for them to find out for themselves." Changyu said patiently: "It's you, you have to go as planned, go to the Shengming Society and bring 10 more brothers to the Tianshui Gang to protect them." ”
Shen Cheng thought about it, it was still the head of the family who said it was right, and Shen Cheng remembered what the head of the family said, it seems that this Miaoying must have something extraordinary, so that the head of the family can appreciate it so much.
The news still reached Cao Xuan's ears, and as soon as Cao Xuan heard that it was someone from the Shengming Society, he immediately called the Qi brothers to rush to the Yu Mansion, and after Zuo Qiuzi learned about it, he immediately came out to intercept Cao Xuan and said: "Helper, slow down, this matter is definitely not done by the Shengming Society." ”
"The flags of this Senming Order are all on the ship, if it weren't for them, who else would there be." Cao Xuan said excitedly.
"Helper, don't be in a hurry, think about it carefully, there are only 20~30 people left and right in this Shengming Society, even if they have the heart to intercept the ship, how can they leave evidence at the scene?"
"Could it be that they accidentally left it behind in a moment of panic?"
"Helper, although Zhuge Changyu of this Shengming Society seems to be proud and complacent, but at that time, the people on our ship have been completely killed, they have too much time to deal with the scene, how can they easily leave their flags."
Listening to Zuo Qiuzi's analysis, Cao Xuan walked back and forth a few steps, and asked suspiciously: "What Mr. means is that someone wants to blame this Shengming Society." ”
"I think it must be like this, otherwise this Zhuge Changyu should have left Yushuang City early."
"What Mr. said is very true, I was almost mistaken by the thief, so according to Mr. thought, who is this person who hijacked the ship?"
"Except for the Tianshui Gang, there must be no one on the river who is our opponent."
"I think so, I'll take all the people and horses to destroy the Water Gang."
Cao Xuan gave an order, and the brothers shouted to destroy the Tianshui Gang, and were about to set off, but they were stopped by Zuo Qiuzi again, and said: "Gang leader, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, we go to the Tianshui Gang for trouble without evidence, for fear of being gossiped about by people on the rivers and lakes." ”
"According to what Mr. said, is this matter settled?" Cao Xuan said with a displeased face.
"Helper, don't be angry, of course we can't just forget it, we can secretly send someone to investigate, and when we have conclusive evidence, it's not too late to go, besides, this Boss Li should get the news and rush to our Qianlong Gang now."
"Sir, this reminds me that this Boss Li is our big customer, and if he knows that a boatload of salt has been robbed, he will definitely find me trouble."
He talked for so long, and finally got down to business, they only cared about who robbed the target, but they didn't think about it deeply, what was more urgent than this was that Boss Li still had to find them, the key was that this Boss Li was not short of money, and this person had a close relationship with the imperial court, this salt was official salt, and money might not be able to buy so much salt, which was related to the foundation of the country, once it was not handled properly, I was afraid that it would anger the imperial court.
Cao Xuan dismissed his subordinates, let Zuo Qiuzi follow him to the hall, and humbly asked: "Sir, if this Boss Li asks about this, how should we deal with it?" ”
"Helper, this matter is not urgent, this Boss Li just wants to get that boat of salt back, besides, there is so much salt, there is no place for the Water Gang to hide this day, so we will send brothers to search the dock of the ship."
Cao Xuan thought to himself that he was right, he could only come to cover the water with soldiers, and besides, it should take two more days for this Boss Li to arrive, so he first ordered a group of brothers to search near the dock of the ship, and then sent secret guards to the Tianshui Gang to investigate.
Shen Cheng learned that Cao Xuan had sent someone to inquire about the Tianshui Gang, and thought to himself, this Zuo Qiuzi still has some ability, which can make Cao Xuan's reason sober, but this is not enough, this Cao Xuan must be angry and out of control, so that Changyu's plan can be carried out as he predicted.
Shen Cheng didn't know how to make Cao Xuan excited, so he told Changyu about it, and Changyu said lightly: "What's there to worry about, isn't this Boss Li on the way?" ”
It seems that Changyu already has another move to play, and what Shen Cheng said, it seems that Changyu was not surprised, he still has some understanding of Zuo Qiuzi's ability.
