His painstaking persuasion turned out to be such a response, but Lu Zhen was not angry, but shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the festival between you and the Cao Gang is indeed quite deep, so that you can not hesitate to take such a risk and fight to the end." ”

"It's not a holiday, it's a deep hatred!" Finally, a young man standing behind Yue Nanxing's left gritted his teeth and said a word, while the others also showed hatred on their faces, which meant that the pain in their hearts was met.

Lu Zhen immediately became interested: "Can you tell me what the hell is going on?" If the people in the Cao Gang do too much evil, they can help you even down......"

"I told that Zhao Tongju everything just now, do you want to say it again?" Yue Nanxing frowned and said with some dissatisfaction. And his words also made Lu Zhen frown lightly involuntarily: "You have explained everything with Zhao Tongju?" Then why didn't he tell the truth, was he hiding something, or didn't he want to tell the truth in front of himself?

With doubts in his heart, Lu Zhen unconsciously remembered the appearance of Zhao Tong who wanted to speak when he proposed to come here just now. He seemed to want to stop it, but in the end he endured it. Although that look was only for a moment, it was still caught.

However, Lu Zhen recovered quickly, smiled and said: "I was really anxious, because I heard him say that he couldn't talk about it, so I volunteered to rush over, but I didn't ask in detail." Since you've said it once, it's not bad this time. As he spoke, he had already put on a deferential look: "Maybe I, the prefect's staff, can really help?" ”

It seemed that the last sentence had an effect, and after a little hesitation, Yue Nanxing finally opened his mouth: "This matter has to start from half a year ago——"

It turned out that in the past few years, as Yue Nanxing helped the people at the bottom to come out, the name in the Suzhou area of the canal has gradually become famous. For this reason, the people in the Cao Gang also used a lot of means against him, some soft and some hard, but they all failed, not only failed to absorb him into their own gang, but made Yue Nanxing's reputation even louder.

For this reason, the previous Suzhou helmsman of the Cao Gang has also been replaced, replaced by Li Yanjiu, who is now tougher and more shrewd. And after this person sat in this position a year ago, he had a lot of respect for Yue Nanxing, neither recruiting nor sending people to make it difficult, and actually allowed him to cultivate his own power at the Suzhou wharf.

Yue Nanxing thought that everything had passed the rain and the sky was clear, but he didn't expect that this Li Yanjiu was a guy who hid a knife in his smile. Just half a year ago, Yue Nanxing, who had long been paralyzed and careless, finally fell for the other party's tricks.

In a business to help the government escort grain, the Cao Gang actually invited people under Yue Nanxing. Because he had similar care before, Yue Nanxing did not doubt him. However, shortly after leaving Suzhou, the cargo ships carrying the banner of the Cao Gang were attacked by unknown people, and the brothers on board suffered heavy casualties.

For this reason, Yue Nanxing almost lost his net worth, but even so, he still suffered a lawsuit and was almost sent to the distance. Fortunately, he also had friends in the government at that time, and he was saved after several efforts.

As a result, his reputation in Suzhou City is weak, and many businessmen who once came to him because of cheaper prices have also changed their doors. Then, even the brothers who had united around him before were mostly dispersed, and only a hundred or so hardcore loyal people were still around Yue Nanxing.

And with Yue Nanxing's downfall, the Cao Gang's blow to him was completely launched. Over the next month or two, several of the docks he had occupied were looted by force, and his brothers were killed or wounded. However, the government turned a blind eye to this and resigned itself to it, even if they reported it to the yamen, by the time the yamen arrived, there was no problem there.

It was only at this time that Yue Nanxing finally knew how terrible the Cao Gang was, and what kind of deeds a gang that could collude with the government and not be morals could do.

Of course, if it were just these, it wouldn't force Yue Nanxing to take a risk. But just when he was embattled, the Cao Gang's most ruthless move was revealed-

The second day of the second month of February is when the dragon raises its head, and it is also a big day for those who rely on water to eat to worship the river god.

And during a celebration on this day, several corpses suddenly floated on the surface of the canal, and they were actually the wives and children of Yue Nanxing and the people close to him!

This matter had a great impact for a while, but after the people from the government rushed to investigate, they said that they couldn't find any problems, and they might have been killed by gods and ghosts!

Then, the canal spread the saying that Yue Nanxing and others angered the river god, so they were condemned by the gods and harmed their wives! For a time, they all became plague gods, and they could no longer make a living on the canal.

And only Yue Nanxing and a few of them knew that all this must be the killers behind the Cao Gang. The killing of his relatives made Yue Nanxing and them completely confused, and they immediately organized their brothers to attack the rudder of the Cao Gang in Suzhou.

As a result, the other party was naturally prepared, and in terms of numbers, it far surpassed Yue Nanxing at that time, and in addition, there were officers and soldiers who appeared in time, and the result was naturally self-evident. In the end, Yue Nanxing was able to get out of the situation when a group of brothers fought to the death, but it was difficult to gain a foothold in Suzhou and became an existence like a fugitive.

However, his name has been widely spread by people in Suzhou City for the past six months, and Lu Jin, a newcomer to Suzhou, has also heard of some of his deeds. It's just about his downfall, maybe because he didn't inquire about the relationship carefully, so he didn't know it too clearly.

Now, after listening to Yue Nanxing's own story, Lu Zhen finally knew the ins and outs, and he was not moved: "There is such a thing? Is your family really hurt by the Cao Gang? ”

"Will this be fake? In the city of Suzhou, apart from them, who else would do such a thing that lost their conscience! Not only do we kill people, but we also blame everything on our sins of sinning against the river gods. After that, they colluded with the government and exterminated us. Yue Nanxing's face was already a little distorted and hideous: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu has a big life, so he was not killed by them." I once swore to this canal that as long as I, Yue Nanxing, were alive, I would definitely avenge this sea of blood! ”

"So, this time you took the Yan family's words and launched this attack last night?" Lu Zhen took the opportunity to ask again.

This time, because of his agitated thoughts, Yue Nanxing finally nodded: "Yes, that's it." Although I can see that they also have ulterior motives, since we all have the same goals and he can help us, I am naturally willing to cooperate with them. ”

Lu Zhen nodded lightly in understanding. As for why the Yan family did this, in addition to attacking Qian, they may also have the idea of revenge against the Cao Gang. Who told the Cao Gang to finally choose to stand by coldly on the matter of private salt, and decisively cut off the relationship with the Yan family afterwards?

However, after telling this story, what shocked Lu Jin the most was the ruthless methods of the Cao Gang, as well as the ruthless methods of the helmsman named Li Yanjiu. He had dealt with this man a few times, and he had always felt that this was a thoughtful and well-known person, and now it seemed that this person had been disguised all along.

Lu Jin did not doubt Yue Nanxing's statement, because the crimes they did this time were not under the original circumstances, and since they had done all this, of course they would not lie in front of themselves for what they had done at the beginning.

After thinking about all this, Lu Jincai said: "So you plan to use Gonggong Huo as a threat today to force the government to return you justice and innocence?" ”

"Not bad! Even if we are guilty, the Cao Gang, and those people in the official mansion who protect them, don't want to get away with it! Yue Nanxing had calmed down at this time, but there was still a sparkling fire in his eyes, and it was conceivable how strong this hatred was.

"Well, I can help you get to the bottom of this, but it will take time. After all, this was more than half a year ago, and all relevant evidence and witnesses are no longer there. Lu Zhen finally nodded.

"We can only give you two days!" Yue Nanxing stretched out two fingers without negotiation and said, "Tomorrow night, if the government can't give us an explanation, we will leave here." When the time comes, it is difficult to say whether Huo Gonggong will die or live. Also, don't try to secretly send someone on the boat to save people, as long as there is one thing wrong, we will kill people and go into the water, but it will be just a burning of jade. ”

Lu Zhen looked at the other party's resolute expression, knowing that what he said was by no means a lie, so he could only smile bitterly, this time the matter will be difficult.

It's already a very difficult thing to solve, but now there is an extra Cao Gang, can it really be solved with the power of his own master? By the way, there are also some officials in the yamen who collude with the Cao Gang, if this matter is known to them, I am afraid that they will also try their best to obstruct themselves.

"All I can say is that I will do my best. As for the final result, whether it will satisfy you or not, I dare not guarantee it. Lu Zhen could only say this.

Yue Nanxing nodded: "You go, we are waiting for your news here." ”

"Farewell." Only then did Lu Jin get up and clench his fists, and under the gaze of the hot eyes in the cabin, he turned around and left.

When Lu Zhen came out of the cabin, the sky was completely bright, and the fiery red sun lifted out the clouds, shooting ten thousand golden rays of light downward. This makes the whole city of Suzhou look fiery red, as if it is full of the joy of autumn harvest.

But all this fell into Lu Jin's eyes, but it was a different taste. The red light looked more like the blood light of the Dao. This Suzhou city, under the surface of the warmth, actually hides such a terrifying and terrible truth!
