At dawn the next day, a creepy scream suddenly erupted in the back house of the Min gang chief, and everyone rushed into the gang leader's bedroom, but saw the prostitute sitting naked at the head of the bed, her face was so frightened that she was deformed, she pointed to the bed and screamed vigorously, and everyone found that their gang leader's eyes were as big as copper bells, turned white upwards, and his body was purple, with a dagger nailed to his chest, and the blood had coagulated, and Yang Shanqing had been dead for a long time.

"What's going on? Say! ”

Yang Shanqing's cousin's eyes were about to bleed, grabbed the woman's hair and threw her off the ground, stepped on her face, and the knife had been pulled out, pointing at her neck and roaring: "Say!" Who did it, don't say Lao Tzu peeled your skin! ”

The woman was like a white fish with its head pinned, her body wrangling on the ground, and she was terrified to the extreme.

"Let her go!" A low and majestic voice came, and the gangs at the door gave way, and the deputy gang leader came.

"You step on her face and make her say anything!"

Yang Shanqing's cousin saw that it was the deputy gang leader who came in, and slowly retracted his feet, the gang leader died, and the deputy gang leader was the boss, he glanced at the deputy gang leader coldly, this person was rude in appearance, but he was extremely scheming, and the gang leader died suddenly, and it was very likely that he was the hand.

The deputy gang leader is extremely tall, looks like a black bear, has a black beard, and his two arms are thicker than the calves of ordinary strong men, he is strong in martial arts, and is the first master of the Min Gang, if Li Qing sees him at this time, he will be surprised, this person is not someone else, or he had a dispute in Langzhong over the purchase of slush, and later got Li Qing's favor Wang Bing (see Chapter 32 of Volume 1), after he came to Chengdu, he joined the Min Gang, with a strong martial arts, gradually came out, and soon sat in the position of the deputy gang leader.

"You put your clothes on first!"

The woman trembled and got up, touched her clothes and put them on, and stammered and cried, "Uncle, I don't know, as soon as I wake up, he, he is like this." In the middle of speaking, she suddenly saw a knife slashing at her neck, and her legs went weak, and she fainted in fright.

With a 'brush' sound, a soft whip wrapped around the knife and slashed at the woman, and with a shake, the knife flew up in response to the sound, nailing it straight to the roof beam, and the handle of the knife was still trembling.

"Deputy Gang Leader, what are you doing?" Yang Shanqing's cousin Huo Ran turned around and stared at Wang Bingge angrily, "The gang leader died because of this woman, how can he not kill him!" ”

Wang Bing sneered and kicked the woman to the door, "Lock her up first!" ”

turned back to him and sneered: "She's just a ****, the gang leader hero I, how could she die because of her, but the gang leader died at night, only she was present, if she killed in a hurry, who would ask the details of the matter?" ”

Wang Bing is a fine person, early estimate of the consequences of this matter, the biggest suspect is only two, one is the old enemy Emeitang, in the recent business war between the Hai family and the Shi family, the Min Gang and Emeitang have intervened, Emeitang has suffered a loss, and the other suspect is himself, the gang leader died, he is the biggest beneficiary.

Yang Shanqing's cousin is named Yang Er, relying on the power of the eldest brother, flying in the gang, and he sees himself as the next gang leader, and now as soon as the eldest brother dies, he has a different heart, but he knows that he is not convinced in the gang, and only if he knocks down Wang Bing first, he will have a chance.

"Deputy gang leader, there are many strange things about this matter, you have to give an explanation to the brothers, otherwise, the brothers will not be convinced!"

"Yang Er, what do you mean by this, do you mean that I killed the gang leader?"

Wang Bing stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, and said viciously: "If you have any basis, dare to draw conclusions, say!" If you don't make it clear to me today, don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood. ”

Yang Ersu saw that Wang Bing was fierce, and he knew that he must not be soft at this time, so he was heartbroken, grabbed Wang Bing's arm with his backhand, and also tore his face and shouted: "Isn't this obvious? This kind of thing has never happened in my Min Gang for decades, you only came last year, the gang leader died, you became the boss, this is not what you did, who else will it be? Hum! I'm afraid it won't be as you like, but the brothers' eyes are bright! ”

Wang Bing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile became thicker and thicker, this was the precursor of his murder, he slowly turned around, dragged Yang Er to the door, and sneered at the law enforcement hall master: "Hall Master Yan, what is the second rule of my Min Gang?" Tell this old brother about it. ”

The law enforcement hall master was awe-inspiring in his heart, knowing that Wang Bing was going to kill and establish authority, so he immediately bowed down and said: "The second article of the gang rules, those who commit the following offenses will die!" ”

Wang Bing slammed Yang Er to the ground, and with the same method he had just stepped on the woman, he stepped on his mouth with one foot to prevent him from barking in a hurry, "Then Yan Hall Master said, what should he do?" ”

Hall Master Yan stared at Wang Bing deeply, and when he saw that the killing intent in his eyes had appeared, he no longer hesitated, turned around and shouted: "Yang Erxia has committed a crime, slandered the deputy gang leader, and killed according to the gang rules, come here!" Dragged him down and cut him down. ”

Snatched a few strong men early, knocked Yang Er's mouth dumb with a punch, and then dragged him down like a dead dog, Yang Er was extremely angry, but he could only scream and couldn't say a word.

Wang Bing glanced at Yang Er's subordinates with cold eyes, and as far as his eyes passed, they all shrank their heads and were silent, no one dared to say a word, he nodded, slowly walked to the bed, and looked up along the place where the dagger came from, and suddenly, he found a bright line, which was a tile that had been removed, not covered, and a crack was exposed.

"Look there, the dagger must have been shot from there."

Everyone looked in the direction of Wang Bing's fingers, and sure enough, they saw a faint light, but most of them didn't see anything, but they shouted: "Yes!" Someone must have sneaked in at night and assassinated the gang leader. They all agreed that the gang leader must have been killed by outsiders, and took the initiative to clear up their involvement for Wang Bing.

Wang Bing pulled out his dagger and observed it carefully, he also found the word 'test sword' on the dagger, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, the weapon of the Hai family, this is obviously planted for Emeitang, but what does it matter, he also needs to find an excuse to establish his status in the gang.

"Brethren! Let's take a look at this knife, the dagger of the Hai family's sword hall, which means that our gang leader was assassinated by the dog thieves of Emei Hall. Wang Bing raised his arms violently and shouted: "Flatten Emeitang and avenge the gang leader!" ”

"Avenge the gang leader!" The roar resounded through the sky.

***************

Li Qing went to Nanxi County early in the morning, yesterday Wang Baoji sent an invitation, today the Nanxi County branch opened, invite him to support, the flow of funds is extremely important to Li Qing's business, just like the current bank, although the Tang Dynasty silver has been used, but after all, the amount is small, and the copper money is heavy, has always been six catties and four taels, if you take tens of thousands of dollars to do business, the pressure will also sink the ship, so the emergence of the cabinet is extremely important for the development of commerce, generally large cabinet shops in major cities have semicolons, such as in Chengdu Wang Bao Ji deposit, indicating Chang'an to withdraw money, You can easily go on the road with the counter ticket and tokens, and after arriving in Chang'an, Wang Baoji of Chang'an will take out the money, and similarly, Nanxi County opened a Wang Baoji semicolon, and Li Qing's money in Chengdu can be remitted to Nanxi County.

Nanxi County is about 50 miles south of Yibin County, the mountains are steep, only a narrow official road is connected, and the general people take the waterway, but in this month's Nanzhao War, the Nanxi County wharf has been requisitioned by the military, and the official road has become the only channel.

This is the tenth day of the fourth month of the third year of Tianbao, early in the morning, the sunshine of early spring has given the warmth to the lush mountains and forests in the distance, the official road has already been busy, everyone wants to take advantage of the dawn to hurry, but on the road, only to know that their ideas are not wise, the carriage on the road one after another, south to north, crowded, densely stretched for more than ten miles, the coachman stands high on the roof of the car, anxiously looks forward with a hand curtain, the person walking with a cane walks through the horse workshop, but goes faster than the carriage, Li Qing's carriage is also mixed in it, although he is the official master, but even if modern traffic police come, this situation will not be able to help him clear the way.

"Childe, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we will only be able to rush to Nanxi County at noon."

The curtain frowned slightly, although the April sun was warm, but under the long-term direct sunlight, in the torment of waiting, the air became extremely hot, and the tip of her nose was already slightly sweaty.

Li Qing put down the book, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face and said with a smile: "Don't be in such a hurry, going to Wang Baoji is just a scene, they have just opened, and the money may not be able to be shipped, so you can put your mind at ease, your heart is calm and naturally cool." ”

"I guess I won't be able to come back tonight, but you have to accompany me to buy something at night." The curtain blinked, and went to the rear carriage to find the powder box to make up for it, Li Qing secretly shook his head, the change of the woman is really instantaneous, and the curtain can actually put on makeup.

He was in a relaxed mood, last night Gao Zhan knife rushed back from Chengdu, the big thing has been done, now what he has to wait for is the fire between the two gangs, according to his speculation, the two gangs of Min'e have been on the same footing, just a small spark, can light a raging fire, and it is a big event that the gang leader was killed, the Min gang can't find the real murderer, how can they easily let go of Emeitang? This battle is raging, Emeitang will definitely transfer the gangs from all over the country back to Chengdu to fight, and the gangs in Yibin County are no exception, and when Tang Sheng's minions are transferred, his next plan can be implemented.

At this moment, there was a noise behind the car, it was a dispute between the porter and the guests, the official road was difficult to walk, there were many walking merchants with large bags and small bags that were inconvenient to carry, the porters found business opportunities from it, carried the burden for others, several times a day, less than a few hundred Wen a day, more than the top, but there is a problem, that is, the picker is fast, the guests have to keep up, some guests can not keep up, so they have to give up the picker halfway, this comes and goes, it is easy to have contradictions.

The noise behind Li Qing was like this, the guests were obese and difficult to walk, the porter was anxious to make money, and it was inevitable that the bad words would be added to the anger, and the two had a quarrel.

The porter had a thick throat and a fierce expression, and a black and bright old fist shook in front of the fat businessman, "If you don't pick, don't pick, Lao Tzu doesn't want to do it yet, it's just that Lao Tzu has helped you pick it from Yibin County to now, at least there are twenty miles, is it only worth three hundred wen?" ”

The merchant said angrily, "Are you unreasonable? We negotiated the price of 500 Wen, you have picked less than half of the distance now, I will give you 300 Wen, which is already good, how much more do you want? ”

"If it weren't for you, the dead pig, walking slowly, Lao Tzu would have already walked back and forth, and you would naturally have to bear the loss, take five hundred Wen, and Lao Tzu wouldn't do it if you didn't have one penny."

"Obviously, you found me, but now you say that I am walking slowly, and I am slandering, I will not give it to you."

The porter played tricks, took a big stride with the burden, and said with a smile: "Hehe! If you don't give it to me, do you think Lao Tzu can't do it? ”

The fat merchant was shocked, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he rushed up and grabbed the luggage, "Robber!" You put my stuff down! ”

At this time, a few porters rushed over, shouting around the fat merchants, obviously with this porter is in a group, and the head of the porters even moved, the fat merchants are also stubborn, holding their luggage alive and dead, fighting with the old fist, just refusing to beg for mercy.

"Stop!" Li Qing's eyebrows were upside down, and he stepped out of the carriage angrily, daring to be presumptuous in front of the dignified Tang Dynasty Nine Rank Officials, challenging his official authority, which is tolerable, which is unbearable.

Several porters were taken aback by Li Qing's words, and they all let go of their hands and turned around, since ancient times, the officials are the sky, the people are the earth, and the people dare not fight with the officials, but several porters saw that Li Qing was only wearing civilian clothes, and there was no grandiose officialdom on his body, and there was no entourage to help, where could he believe it, so he ignored him, rolled up his sleeves and roared and surrounded the fat merchants.

But the porter's head slowly stood up and looked at Li Qing in disbelief, "Li Dongzhu, is it you?" ”
