Chapter 17: The Salt Gang
The Salt Gang, as the name suggests, is a gang that sells illicit salt, and according to the current term, it is a smuggling gang with the nature of the underworld.
Before Empress Zheng entered the palace, the Jiangning Salt Gang was the foundation of the Zheng family.
In the past, it was the collusion between officials and businessmen, smuggling and smuggling salt, relying on the face of the government, but they had to spend fifty or sixty percent of their profits a year to beat local officials. Since the Zheng family was named the queen, the salt gang has also become a fair and honest business, the private salt on Jiangnan East Road is under the control of the Zheng salt gang, although there is still a lot of silver to be paid every year, but it is only one or two percent of the profit, and those local officials also praise the Zheng family for being a man, not pampered and proud.
Although the Salt Gang is an underworld gang, the people of Jiangning know that the Zheng Mansion is the master behind the scenes, and they dare not harm the people in the Zhao Mansion. But now that he is in a state of fire, once the sword has no eyes and hurts Zhao Hao, even if he cuts a few perpetrators afterwards, it will be useless, and the loss in front of him will be eaten first. Therefore, Zhao Ling did not dare to touch this troubled water easily, and proposed a detour to avoid it.
Zhao Hao hesitated for a long time, he had the heart to watch a lively scene, and he was worried that his health value of 41 would not be able to withstand even a slight bump, so if he retreated, he always felt as if he was going to miss a good show.
"I'll wait and don't move, Uncle Yun will go and explore." Zhao Hao finally made a decision.
Zhao Ling agreed, raised his sword again and rushed out, seeing that he was about to run to the entrance of the street, he suddenly raised his hand, and a black line flew out of his hand, which was placed on the eaves of the roadside, and then pulled the black line, and he stepped on the wall and turned over with the pull of the black line.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart: it...... Is this the legendary cornice? Uncle Yun is really from a snitch, and I am afraid that he has done a lot of things when he enters the house without asking about himself, but I don't know if he has ever drilled into the embroidery room of other people's daughters......
In the night, Zhao Ling ran like a raccoon cat on the roof of the row of houses next to the street, walking on the ground, and soon disappeared from Zhao Hao's sight.
After a stick of incense, Zhao Ling went and returned, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"The Salt Gang and Fang Zhuangshi had a fight, Fang Zhuangshi killed many people in the Salt Gang, and now they have been surrounded, and there are many auspicious people."
Fang Qi Buddha!
Zhao Hao's mind immediately appeared with the shadow of a big man, and his heart swelled up, and he said resolutely: "Let's go, go with my son to have a look." ”
Zhao Ling did not stop him, but shouted: "Protect your son, there must be no mistakes!" ”
The group ran to the entrance of the street, Zhao Hao smelled a strong smell of blood, and couldn't help but open the sedan curtain, only to see two people lying horizontally on the street in front of them, and the ground was stained with blood.
When I looked further ahead, I could only see a bustling figure in front of me, which was particularly obvious in the empty streets.
Zhao Ling pointed forward: "In front of you is the people of the Salt Gang, Fang Zhuangshi has been besieged in the front alley, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill." ”
Zhao Hao's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Go over and take a look!" ”
"The Salt Gang is arresting the murderer, and idlers are not allowed to approach!"
Zhao Hao and the others had not yet approached, and a word had already exploded from the air in front of them, this person was full of energy, and his voice was like thunder, and his voice could be heard within a radius of hundreds of meters.
Seeing that he was about to approach the Salt Gang for twenty or thirty steps, there were already people in front of him who turned around and guarded with knives, obviously with a strong hostility.
Zhao Hao looked at Liang Lie coldly, Liang Lie immediately understood, took a deep breath, and spewed out: "Zhao Gongzi passed by here, and the living people avoided it, and they couldn't get in the way!" ”
I'll go, this kid was kicked in the head by a donkey! The living are avoided...... What's special is that it's not a bull head and a horse face on patrol.
There was an uproar ahead, and the front row of Salt Gang minions with knives had withdrawn their long knives, but they didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding them.
There are a lot of sons with the same surname in Jiangning City, but there is only one Zhao Hao who is called Zhao Gongzi, although he is known for his image of waste firewood, but there are very few who really dare to provoke him, not cats and dogs dare to offend.
Zhao Hao frowned slightly, and did not continue to step forward, but turned around and whispered two words to Zhao Ling, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Ling disappeared in front of him again.
After a while, Zhao Ling flashed again out of nowhere, and whispered to Zhao Hao: "Fang Zhuangshi and the other two are trapped between the alleys in front of them, and they are forced by strong crossbows at both ends. Although Fang Zhuangshi was strong in martial arts, he refused to give up and leave alone, so he was trapped and unable to get out. Fortunately, Fang Zhuangshi captured Yang Xuan, the master of the Salt Gang, as a hostage, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been killed by crossbow arrows! ”
Crossbow!
The power of the Salt Gang is really extraordinary, in this era, the strong crossbow and AK47 are general, where can ordinary people find one, and the Salt Gang is equipped in batches.
Since they met that day, Zhao Hao has recognized Fang Qifo as a friend, no matter what, he has to save him. What's more, with his intuition, he faintly felt that the entanglement between Fang Qi Buddha and the Salt Gang was mostly related to the incident that Fang Qi Buddha said that he would protect children under the age of five that day.
However, it is simply impossible to snatch people from hundreds of salt gang bandits with sharp blades and strong crossbows with their own people.
The only way out is in the system.
Zhao Hao opened the screen of the merit system, and finally browsed it carefully in the Rune Pavilion, and had a general idea in his mind.
"If I go to the roof and disturb this group of young people with money darts, then Fang Zhuangshi can take advantage of the chaos to break through, but his companions may not be able to get out of trouble." Zhao Ling said in a low voice.
Zhao Hao was stunned: "Money dart? ”
Zhao Ling was silent, jumped to the side of the carriage containing money, took out the usual copper coin, and said to Zhao Hao: "Asking the son to borrow money is always a dart." ”
Zhao Hao was messy in an instant.
This hidden weapon is good, you can use materials anywhere, save hidden weapons such as flying knives and have to go to the blacksmith shop to customize, and when you put the hidden weapon, you don't want to do it...... Lao Tzu used money to smash you to death!
Zhao Hao thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Yun will go to the roof first, I'll play with him, wait until Yankou is in chaos, and then disturb him with darts." ”
Zhao Ling nodded and said, "I don't dare to embarrass my son, but my son is still careful." ”
Seeing Zhao Ling leave again, Zhao Hao slowly got off the sedan curtain and walked towards the crowd of the Salt Gang, startled the slaves beside him to walk closely.
The salt gang minions in front of him, all of them are black and strong, and all of them are snow-bright steel knives on the periphery, which looks fierce and murderous.
Zhao Hao didn't stop until he was ten steps away from the Salt Gang, because he had seen a sleek man in blue slowly walking out of the crowd.
This person is burly, his face is angular, although he is gorgeously dressed, he still can't hide the strong muscles, especially the pair of eagle eyes, which are shining and breathtaking, and his whole body exudes a fierce aura, which is daunting.
The man's gaze paused on Zhao Hao for a moment, and then he bent down and bowed: "In the Xiayan Gang Yinyi, I have seen Zhao Gongzi!" ”
"Yin Yi, force: 81; Intelligence: 52; Speed: 60; Light work: 62; Politics: 25; Command: 72; Health: 91; Loyalty to Zheng An: 90, Host's Favorability: 30. ”
81 in force, 72 in command...... This No. 1 Salt Gang in Jiangnan is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
This person seems to be humble, but in fact, his attitude is lukewarm, and his voice is full of neutrality.
The people who walk the rivers and lakes are all brave and ruthless people, and they have the support of the Zheng Mansion, although they dare not do anything to Zhao Hao, they may not be afraid of Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao only glanced at this person, and knew that without extraordinary means, it was impossible to force this guy to release people with the momentum of Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Hao showed a smile like spring flowers on his face: "It turned out to be the leader of the Yin Gang, who has admired the name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, what a man!" ”
Just as Zhao Hao was speaking, a voice sounded in his mind.
"Buy a small summoning charm (will), consume 500 merit points, and congratulate the host on obtaining 1 summoned general."
"Congratulations to the host for summoning the fierce general Zhou Cang, force 83, speed 60, light power 65, click the right button to release the military general anywhere within a radius of 500 meters, and use it for 1 hour after release."
Zhou Cang, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms!
It's a pity that it's just a limited-time general, according to the setting of the system, once the use time expires, this famous fierce general will instantly evaporate from the world and disappear without a trace.
Yin Yi originally saw Zhao Hao coming, and was worried that this famous gentleman in Jiangning would play a trick and insist on going on a rampage, so he would have a headache for a while, but he didn't expect Zhao Hao to be so polite, and he didn't feel slightly relieved.
At the moment, Yin Yi became more and more respectful, and said with a smile: "Childe has praised it falsely, the salt gang has a bit of a grudge with the brothers on the road here that needs to be settled, and I ask Childe to forgive me." ”
"Buy a small summoning charm (beast), consume 500 merit points, and congratulate the host on obtaining 5 summoned beasts."
The same summon cannot be used at the same time, only the beast summoner can be used......
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 summoned beast hyenas, attack power 65, speed 65, agility 65, click the right button to release the beast anywhere within a radius of 500 meters."
Hyenas are mediocre in their power, but it is said that two hyenas can catch a lion up a tree. Although it was difficult to pose much of a threat in the face of these heavily armed salt bandits, it was enough to cause a riot.
Zhao Hao was still full of warm smiles, and said: "The brothers of the Salt Gang are all handsome and chic, graceful, magnificent, and powerful...... I don't know who dares to be so ignorant and offend the Salt Gang? ”
"Buy the transmission note (small), consume 10 merit points, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 transmission note (small)."
"Transmission Note (Small): 10 minutes of use, 5000 meters range, can only be used on those with an intimacy of 70 or more with the host."
Zhao Hao chatted with Yin Yi with a pair of pairs, and quickly controlled the merit system at the same time.
"Searching...... You can search for the following objects that meet the needs of using the transmission note: Zhao Ling, Fang Qifo, Liang Lie. ”
"Transmission Note Binding Object: Fang Qi Buddha."
"With transmission note (small), time remaining: 9 minutes and 59 seconds."
PS: There is one more in the evening, ask for a recommendation ticket......
