Chapter 140: The Truth Behind the Truth
In just one day, the internal situation of the Cao Gang has once again undergone earth-shaking changes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Chengzhang, who was imprisoned himself, was suddenly acquitted by the governor Yamen, and as soon as he came out, he took the initiative back into his own hands.
After all, he is the deputy leader of the Cao Gang in the past ten years, and he is the leader of everyone in the Hangzhou Cao Gang. When he returned to his residence, the men who belonged to Cao Hua, He Wei and others there had lost even the courage to resist. It was just a brief confrontation, and this place, which represented the supreme power of the Cao Gang in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang, changed hands again.
And when those Cao Gang rebels who were tied up and didn't dare to speak out saw Cao Hua cut off an arm after only three moves under Luo Chengzhang's hands, and fell to the ground in despair, their last bit of confidence also vanished.
In fact, these people dared to do this before, because Cao Hua and they were able to get rid of Luo Chengzhang with the help of the government. Otherwise, no matter how bold they are, they won't dare to do this. Now all they have left in their hearts is remorse and fear, for fear that Luo Chengzhang will settle accounts after the autumn.
But at least at this moment, Luo Chengzhang had no such plan, and after ordering someone to take Cao Hua down to heal his injuries, he walked out of this courtyard and kept heading south. At this moment, it was already dark, and it was already after the change.
"Helper, are you going to see him?" Zhou Zhenying, who already knew the whereabouts of the enemy, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with some concern.
"At this point, can you still avoid it? There must be a conclusion to things. Luo Chengzhang still said with a straight face: "This is for our brothers, but also for the future of our Cao Gang." ”
"You...... Really made up your mind to deal with him? Zhou Zhenying, who knows who he is, still seems a little less convinced.
This time, Luo Chengzhang did not answer, but continued to move forward firmly.
Yang Zhen, who had been standing quietly next to him, understood Luo Chengzhang's situation. At this point, he did this not only for himself, but for the sake of his brothers who suffered because of this, as well as those who tried their best to help him get rid of his guilt and fight back. If Luo Chengzhang is still worried about the identity of the other party now, I am afraid that it will immediately chill everyone's hearts, and it will be difficult to win people's hearts when the time comes.
However, Yang Zhen will not say these things, and he will not interfere in these things today. Because this is a housework within the Cao Gang, there is really no need for him to be a brocade guard, and there is no reason to say anything. Helping them open a gap in things before was already the limit of what he could do.
However, he was very interested now, and wanted to see how Luo Chengzhang, the deputy gang leader who had always shown great affection, would behave in the face of Yan Huan.
Under the leadership of Luo Chengzhang, dozens of Cao Gang backbones came to the secluded courtyard. And as if he had expected them to come, the door of the courtyard opened just in time. An old man in gray who was a little old and a little stiff faced the people in front of him coldly, not only did he not have the slightest fear on his face, but was full of a mocking smile: "Luo Chengzhang, you are still the same as before, once you make up your mind, you will not have the slightest hesitation." ”
"Aren't you the same? Ye Tianlong! Luo Chengzhang squinted his eyes, staring at this former predecessor and friend, and now the enemy, his mood was slightly heavy: "Why are you doing this?" ”
After Ye Tianlong heard the other party call out his name, his body suddenly straightened up, completely devoid of the old state of Long Zhong just now, just like a sword suddenly pulled out of the dusty sword box, making people dare not force their eyes. I saw him take a step forward slowly, blocking the courtyard door, and then said slowly: "You should know the reason." You and I owe too much to the Yan Gang Master, you choose to work hard for the Cao Gang, and I choose to stand behind the Young Master. Since the young master has decided to do this, I must help him do all this! ”
"In other words, if I want to see Yan Huan today, I have to step over you?" Luo Chengzhang looked at the other party's posture and sighed softly.
"Not bad! I had expected this to happen. After all, the young master is young, and he is far inferior to you in terms of means and vision. So I can't persuade him to stop, that's all I can do! Ye Tianlong said, his hand was picked up behind his back, and a mouth was more than three feet long, and the narrow sheathed long sword had appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the Cao Gang quickly took out their respective weapons, staring at the old man one by one, as if as long as Luo Chengzhang gave the order, they would rush forward and attack him in groups.
At this moment, the wooden door of the room behind the old man suddenly opened, and the young man with a somewhat pale face walked out slowly. Although he was faced with so many hostile eyes, he was not afraid.
"Young master, why did you come out?" Ye Tianlong frowned and said.
"They are all subordinates of my Cao Gang, how can I not even dare to see them?" The young man said this half-self-deprecatingly, of course he was Yan Huan, the current gang leader of the Cao Gang, that is, the person behind this incident: "I'm right, Uncle Luo. ”
"......" Luo Chengzhang was silent for a while, and then said with regret on his face: "Helper, why are you doing this?" If you want me to give up my position as deputy helper, all you need is a word, why bother? ”
"Really? Are you really going to dismiss this deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang because of my words, and return the backwater order to me? Yan Huan sneered, and shook his head firmly: "No, you won't." Even if you were willing, these brothers who have followed you for many years will not let you make such a decision. That's why I knew this! ”
"You ......" Luo Chengzhang was speechless for a while, of course he knew that what the other party said was the truth, and everything at the moment was the best proof. Even if he knew that Yan Huan was dealing with him, didn't those people under him fight back with their actions and completely turn the whole situation around?
"Actually, Uncle Luo, you know very well that when I get older and your prestige in the gang continues to increase, the conflict between you and me will always break out one day. It's just that it appears today, and it makes you feel a little fast. Isn't it? No one thought that when he said this, Yan Huan, the young leader of the Cao Gang, would be extremely calm, and even had some coldness.
But Luo Chengzhang didn't agree with him, he shook his head and said, "You're wrong. There is no need for such hostility between you and me. We can work together to make the Cao Gang a good job. After all, I am much older than you, and one day, your prestige in the gang will surpass mine, and then ......"
Before he could finish his words, Yan Huan interrupted him with something to say: "How long will it take?" Ten years, twenty years? I can't wait so long, since the position of the leader of the Cao Gang was passed on to me by my father, it is necessary for me to take the power in my hands! Even if you don't have any disrespect for me, Uncle Luo, I can't let you continue to press on my head! There are too many things in this world that can be made, but power must not be allowed! ”
Hearing Yan Huan say this, and seeing the glint in his eyes when he said this, Luo Chengzhang knew that all this was irreparable.
At this moment, Yang Zhen, who was mixed in the middle of the Cao Gang, showed a look of appreciation in his eyes: "Male husband, it should be like this!" Although this Yan Huan's methods are not clever, his mind is still right, but he lacks experience. If he had had had some experience, perhaps the result would have been different. ”
Luo Chengzhang shook his head lightly, and smiled bitterly: "Just because of this, you don't hesitate to risk ruining the foundation of the Cao Gang to set up this situation?" Do you know that if the government really wants to investigate, the 10,000 catties of salt alone will be enough to send many brothers to prison? ”
"Those who achieve great things are not informal, and this damage is nothing compared to my future great cause."
"Even now, you are still so obsessed!" Luo Chengzhang sighed: "Do you know that you are actually being used by others." ”
"Utilization?" Yan Huan was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Luo Chengzhang to suddenly say this.
"Your opinion of me is not actually from your own knowledge, but from the indoctrination of others. It was people like He Wei and Cao Hua who kept saying in your ear that I was a threat to you, which made you want to get rid of me quickly. And do you know who they are? ”
After Yan Huan thought about it, his face finally changed a little: "Who are they?" ”
"I guess there are only two things you want to take back from me this time, the backwater order and the ledger."
"Not bad." Yan Huan nodded: "These two things should have been mastered by the Cao Gang leader. ”
"But do you know that they want to get another thing, something that is a matter of life and death for them."
"Huh? But what is it? This time, Yan Huan was really a little nervous. He is not afraid of failure, but if he knows that his failure is still being taken advantage of, it is a different matter.
"Some of our gang took advantage of the Cao Gang's control of the canal to turn into water bandits, robbing and killing evidence of passing merchant ships! This is their real purpose! ”
"What? This...... It can't be, you're lying! Yan Huan's face changed greatly, all of this was unknown to him, and it was difficult for him to accept such a statement.
"It's true. In fact, as early as last year, I began to look for evidence of these evil, and because of this, one of my old brothers, Zhou Gang, was assassinated, and even Yue Ying was almost murdered. And after they had nothing to do with me, they thought of using you, using your eagerness to regain power, so as to eradicate me, and destroy the evidence. ”
Luo Chengzhang's words were like knives and arrows, and they made Yan Huan tremble. After a long silence, he suddenly looked up and said in a somewhat sharp voice, "No, everything you said is false!" This is by no means the case, I will not be taken advantage of by them! But I am afraid that even he himself could not be convinced.
