Chapter 462: Binding Hands
Chapter 462: Hands Bound
As soon as Wang Gu said this, there was an uproar in the hall, and all the Cao Gang hall masters who fell to the ground were so frightened that they screamed.
"Elder Feng, my Cao Gang is not a thief and a salt lord, what they do is a serious boat deal, how can this kind of thing be done."
"Wind and Fire Dragon, what do you want to do, selling illicit salt is a felony. If the court knows about it, just send an army, and our Cao gang will be doomed. ”
"Yes, Wind and Fire Dragon, Master Zu's huge inheritance is in our hands. More than 100,000 brothers up and down the Grand Canal can point to us with only one bite of food, do you want to kill them all? ”
For a while, the scolding was endless.
The wind and fire dragon didn't care, only sneered: "You know a fart, my Cao gang will do some work to escort the ship and unload the cargo, all year round, I can get a few big characters." If I do what I want, and don't make a big fuss, just carry some salt on the ship, and it will be enough for me to wait for a rich life. Brothers, our sons and daughters lick blood from the knife and do not seek property. Since the day of his debut, he has screwed off his head and pinned it on his trouser belt, and he has never been afraid of the sky falling. Why, I don't want to make any money for nothing. This is a business of one or two million a year, don't you want to do it? ”
As soon as they heard that there was such a big profit, the Cao Gang who fell to the ground were all a little moved, and some people were already silent with their heads bowed.
As soon as the words fell, Wang Gu, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly laughed: "Confused" This sound was extremely loud, and it shook everyone's ears with a buzzing sound.
Hearing this hearty laughter, Wind Fire Dragon unconsciously took a step back, and he had some doubts in his heart that this Wang Gu had not drunk poisonous wine. He knew the martial arts of the Wang gang leader, it was an invincible master who beat the entire Grand Canal with a long stick, if he really didn't drink, he might not be able to restrain him.
But just now I saw him drink poisoned wine
The Wind and Fire Dragon settled down and asked, "Oh, what else does Gang Master Wang have to say?" He was still a little uncertain and ready to take a closer look.
Wang Gu said: "Elder Feng, didn't the brothers already explain the truth just now, why don't you understand. Everyone is a man with sons and daughters, and people with land and land. Who is not dragging the family, a group of people inside and outside the house are counting on our boat to eat. Indeed, the sale of illicit salt is a lucrative business. However, once the boat capsizes, it doesn't matter if I die and my reputation is destroyed, do you think it's interesting to drag down the family? ”
He pointed to a hall master who fell to the ground and said: "For example, the Huang hall master, his character naturally has nothing to say, although he does not have a small family, he can adopt more than a dozen orphans of brothers in the gang, the eldest is only twelve years old, and the younger one is only four years old. If something happens to him, will all the children he adopted go to the streets to be called Hanako? There is also Li Tang Pig. ”
His gaze fell on another person: "Hall Master Li is nicknamed Night Owl, although he is timid, he is shrewd, he has made a lot of efforts to help him over the years, and his business has also done well." Brother Li has done a great job in my Cao Gang, but he is just a little lustful. There is a wife and four concubines in the family, and there are two outer rooms outside. Hall Master Li is not short of money, and he is a person who likes to enjoy, you let him do the killing business, is Brother Li willing? ”
The hall master surnamed Li said: "The helper is right, we Li Wusan also has a few thousand taels of money a year, and he is already very satisfied, no matter how much money he has, he is not willing to take this kind of risk." ”
With Wang Gu's words, everyone also shouted: "Yes, who is willing to take this risk." Now that we are also people with heads and faces, why are we making trouble for ourselves? ”
Seeing that everyone disagreed, Wind and Fire Dragon became annoyed in his heart. His purpose today is to detain Wang Gu and force him to resign as a helper, but he doesn't want to offend everyone. The Grand Canal runs from north to south and stretches for thousands of miles. No matter what business he does in the future, he will have to be assisted by the masters of each altar, and he has no three heads and six arms, and he can't control it if he has 100,000 Cao Gang disciples.
Seeing that everyone was moved by Wang Gu's words, the Wind and Fire Dragon had no choice, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The brothers' worries about the Wind and Fire Dragon are naturally clear, and it is impossible to push the big guy into the fire pit." Now that we've talked about it today, let's give you a good idea. There is no risk in smuggling salt on the river, in fact, this business is not done by me Cao, but by the father-in-law of Huang Jin in the palace. Huang Gonggong agreed, as long as we Cao Gang do this business, he is willing to open up all the joints along the way and let them go all the way. When the time comes, everyone will split the account. ”
As soon as he heard that it was Huang Jin, Sun Dan was startled. This Huang Jin is really bold, and he dares to eat any money. However, if Huang Jin really became the mastermind behind the Cao Gang, the river and local officials really couldn't do anything about them. Huang Jin can collect a large amount of money through smuggling, not to mention, he also has the underground power of the Cao Gang, and his power will inevitably expand further.
Sun Dan was surprised, but also very curious about the ten spiced crispy bones that had turned over everyone just now. If you guess correctly, this should be a kind of numb* drunk drug, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you might as well ask the Cao Gang for a prescription, and it may not be impossible to use it in the future.
Not only was Sun Dan very surprised when he heard Huang Jin's name, but all the people in the Cao Gang were also shocked. What kind of person is Huang Jin, that is the inner minister under one person and above ten thousand people, and he is the first celebrity in the dynasty. If he supports the Cao Gang behind his back, what kind of head-killing business would he not dare to do?
When everyone thought about it, they didn't feel quiet.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wind and Fire Dragon laughed proudly: "Brothers, Wind and Fire Dragon can tell you such a secret thing clearly, it is really taking you as its own people, and it really has the heart to find a way for everyone to grow hair." To be honest, not only is Grandpa Huang behind us, but Grandpa Wang and Father-in-law Ganbida of Nanhe will also assist. So, don't worry. ”
As he spoke, he slapped his face.
An apprentice beside Feng Huolong took out a piece of paper full of words from his arms, took out the ink clay, and said, "If the hall masters agree, please draw a pledge, and it can be regarded as signing a letter of nomination." Hall Master Li, you come first. He put the piece of paper in front of Hall Master Li.
Hall Master Li raised his hand, trembling, but he couldn't make up his mind to draw it no matter what.
At this time, Wang Gu laughed again: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, I've been running the canal up and down for decades, and the ancestors of the previous generations are all well-known heroes." How is it that in our generation, we have exhausted some waste? ”
Wang Gu interrupted Wind and Fire Dragon's words one after another, which made Wind and Fire Dragon very angry, and he didn't get angry but laughed: "What big reason does the helper want to say?" ”
Wang Gu put away his smile and said lightly: "My Cao Gang is not six doors, how can a hero on the water go to be an eagle claw grandson for a thief like Huang Jin, and he doesn't have to discredit Master Zu's face." Besides, how much do you know about the things in the court, and the competition there is no better than the swords and guns on the rivers and lakes. My Jianghu man fights to the death, defeated, it's a big deal for people to cut off their heads, I can only blame myself for not being good at learning, and I don't complain about the sky. Moreover, no matter how our children on the rivers and lakes fight and die, they will not be able to cause disaster to their wives and children. But in the court, your battle, once you lose, the family will be implicated. There are three tribes, nine tribes, and ten tribes. Although Huang Jin is beautiful, there are no flowers for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. ”
He turned his head and glanced at the hall masters: "Think about it, think about it." In the 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are a few eunuchs who have a good end. The civil officials have a noble status, and when the political battle is lost, it is a big deal not to be an official and go home to become a small landlord. But the eunuchs' homes are in the palace, and there is no way to retreat. In the eyes of the official family, the eunuch is just a dog he raises, once it is not needed, it is not easy to kill a dog? I killed civil officials when I became an ancestor in the dynasty, and I can kill civil servants in the next 100 years? There are many eunuchs who have been killed. If you don't want to be beheaded, just follow Elder Feng and go to Huang Jin. ”
When Sun Dan heard Wang Gu's words, he applauded unconsciously: Sure enough, he is the leader of this big gang with 100,000 people, and it is strange that he does not have a little political wisdom. The words are not rough, this Wang gang leader can be regarded as understanding the political ecology of the Ming Dynasty. He has eaten Ansheng rice in Heyou and has been nourished, how can he be willing to have anything to do with politics. In contrast, the Wind and Fire Dragon is a big difference, even if he takes refuge in Huang Jin, according to Huang Jin's character, once he is not needed, I am afraid that this Wind and Fire Dragon will not end well in the future.
Hearing what Wang Gu said, everyone was silent.
The hall master Li was even more pale, and he was stunned for a long time, but he retracted his hand.
Seeing that the limelight had changed greatly, a trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Wind and Fire Dragon, and the killing intent in his heart suddenly appeared, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
When one of his apprentices saw the master's hideous face, he immediately understood. With a sonorous sound, he pulled out his waist knife and pointed it at Hall Master Li's throat: "Senior Brother Li, do you want to draw a charge?" ”
Although Hall Master Li was timid, he knew that this matter could not be done no matter what. He shook his head with a miserable face: "Li's family has children and daughters, it doesn't matter if you die, you can't drag down your family." ”
"Good man" Wang Gu applauded.
But at this moment, the sword in Feng Huolong's apprentice's hand flashed, and the poor Li Hall Master's head rolled out on the ground, so he stopped unwillingly.
Sun Dan didn't expect the Wind Fire Dragon master and apprentice to be so fierce, and he was taken aback. Although Fang Wei beside him was numb to the ground, his sanity was in the situation, and when he saw this terrible scene, he screamed and fainted to the ground.
The "good man" and the hall masters of the Cao Gang all cheered loudly for Hall Master Li.
The air was filled with blood, and a large amount of crimson blood flowed wantonly on the ground.
The apprentice of the Wind and Fire Dragon sneered: "Who else doesn't want to?" ”
"There is a kind of kill me first" A hall master shouted angrily: "Wind and Fire Dragon, you have a kind of killing my surname Xu as well"
"Kill" the Wind and Fire Dragon also turned red with anger and shouted. His apprentice went down with a knife and cut down Hall Master Xu again.
"Good man" everyone shouted again, but tears flowed in their eyes.
"Wind and Fire Dragon, my ** ancestor" sat on the ground with a knife that spit out a mouthful of blood, and his voice was hoarse: "I am the eighth generation of ancestors"
"Cut him down for me" The Wind and Fire Dragon also stepped out, pointing at the knife.
"Yes." The apprentice was about to walk towards the knife with his knife, but Wang Gu shouted, "Wait." ”
"What, what else does Gang Master Wang have to say?" The apprentice asked, holding the knife that had already been cut. He had a fierce face, and blood kept dripping from the head of the knife.
Wang Gu smiled bitterly and pointed at Sun Dan: "This Mr. Sun is my guest, he is not from our gang, he has nothing to do with this matter, please let them go." ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Sun Dan and the others.
Sun Dan was a little moved in his heart, this Wang Gu is really a man, this love, my Sun Dan admitted.
Wind and Fire Dragon suddenly sneered: "Gang Master Wang really has a bodhisattva heart, but do you think I will let him go after letting him hear so many secrets?" ”
Wang Gu sighed and said, "With Uncle Feng's character, he will definitely not let anyone here." Well, I'm the helper, if you want to kill someone, kill me first. I brought out so many brothers with one hand, and I couldn't bear to see them die in front of me one by one. ”
The "helper" and all the hall masters had tears in their eyes.
Feng Huolong nodded: "Okay, don't say that I'm not close to my uncle, just grant your wish." ”
He slowly drew his waist knife, walked behind Wang Gu, and slashed down.
"Master," the knife cried out in grief.
"Helper," shouted everyone.
But at this time, a strange scene appeared, Wang Gu suddenly turned over and jumped up from the chair, grabbed the chair with both hands and "bumped" and blasted out, just smashing on the wind and fire dragon.
The chair was torn apart, and the Wind and Fire Dragon was also smashed and flew out a foot away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Ahh
"The helper is mighty," everyone cheered.
But Wang Gu's body shook for a while, and he suddenly fell to the ground with a "plop", and he couldn't get up anymore.
At this moment, everyone who was still cheering just now was dumbfounded.
"Haha, haha, I don't have the strength, I really thought you didn't drink poisonous wine?" Feng Huolong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up with the pain on his body, and gasped: "Wang Gu, Wang Gu, you really scared Uncle Shi just now." It turns out that you just said so much nonsense, you just want to suppress the medicinal properties and give me a fatal blow at a critical moment, so calculated, so calculated, I really almost fell into your way. It's a pity, if you get down from this chair in normal times, you can smash my old bones to pieces. But you, you're really to the point that my ten-spiced crispy bone powder is a vegetarian. It's okay now, it's not me who is a swordman, you are a fish. ”
Wind and Fire Dragon shouted to the four apprentices: "You go up and divide Wang Gu for me."
To be honest, he was smashed by Wang Gu on a chair just now, and he was seriously injured, only to feel that his mouth and nose were full of fishy smell, and before he could breathe in, his lungs hurt badly, obviously suffering from very serious internal injuries. Now he just wants to solve the matter in front of him as soon as possible and find a Lang Zhong to take a good look.
"Yes," the four apprentices all drew their knives and walked towards Wang Gu.
"It's time, remember, you must save Wang Gu's life." Sun Dan nodded towards Han Yue beside him.
"Yes" Han Yue jumped up suddenly, rushed to the window with an arrow step, pushed the window open, and shot a firework out.
A long tail note was dragged out with a "boom", and the whisker exploded in the air in an instant, making a loud sound.
This sudden scene shocked Wind Fire Dragon and his four apprentices, and it took a long time for them to shout at the same time: "What are you doing? ”
Han Yue laughed and walked to Wang Gu's side: "The road is uneven, and others shovel." Gang Master Wang is a friend of my master, and now, he is in trouble, but I can't help him. ”
"Hmph, kill him, be careful, this person is extraordinary" Wind and Fire Dragon had an old eye, knowing that Han Yue was not a weak hand. Originally, a master like this should have gone out in person, but because of the severe injuries on his body, it may not be helpful to go up.
The four apprentices who "killed" the Wind and Fire Dragon went up at the same time and surrounded Han Yue.
"In broad daylight, if you actually kill people with a knife, aren't you afraid of the king's law?" Han Yue shouted loudly, with a sonorous sound, two knives, one long and one short, were drawn out, dancing into a ball of silver-white light, and the four of them were shrouded in sword light.
Han Yue was originally a master of swordsmanship, and the four apprentices of the Wind and Fire Dragon were also good hands, but they only heard a clanging sound, and the golden wind was blowing in front of him, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
There are constantly blood spots coming out, and I don't know whose it is.
The clanging sound of blades slamming into the human body was mixed with the creepy sound of a knife cutting into the human body.
The sword is the king of soldiers, and it can be said to be the foundation of all weapons. The so-called 100 days of knife practice, 1,000 days of gun practice, a lifetime of sword. The knife technique is the easiest to learn, but it is the least difficult to practice, and once it is practiced, it can easily take people's lives, and it is the most ferocious.
The knife technique pays attention to the head and the brain, that is to say, every move goes out, and when the momentum is closed, it must be circled around the back of the head. In this way, the blade forms a large circle around the body, and if it touches the enemy's body, it will slash into it.
Therefore, when the master teaches the knife technique, he generally does not let the apprentices use real guys to make moves, for fear of inadvertently hurting people.
The five of them were fighting endlessly in the hall, saying that it was too late, and it was too fast, but they could only hear people screaming continuously: "Master, Master, the thief is powerful, I can't wait."
"Ah, my hand" An apprentice stumbled out and fell to the ground with a "plop", only to see that his hands and feet were dripping with blood, and it was obvious that he had been abolished by someone.
"Good knife technique" All the Cao Gang cousins who fell to the ground loudly cheered for Han Yue's knife technique.
"It's so powerful" Feng Huolong took a breath of cold air, forcibly lifted his spirit, gritted his teeth and raised the knife and was about to pounce, when he heard an "ah" sound, and another apprentice jumped out of the circle. But he saw that he only had one foot left, and there was a spring of blood gushing out of the other broken leg.
Wind and Fire Dragon's eyes were red: "Suffer death"
But as soon as the words fell, two arms flew up in the air. It turned out that Han Yue had already killed her temperament, and cut off the two hands of the other person with a knife.
"Ah, don't kill me" The other apprentice, who was intact and lost, threw away his knife and ran out of the knife circle, trembling as if he was sifting chaff.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside, and there was a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound from the mountains: "The wind and fire dragon intends to rebel, and there is an order from the peak, so it will be arrested immediately." Nothing to do with it, or you will be killed."
