Chapter 180: The Counterattack of Vested Interests
In this way, Black Hawk III died, Black Hawk I and Black Hawk II were captured, and the first assassination attempt of the East God of Wealth failed.
Lu Zhishen used severe torture to deal with Black Hawk 2 and Black Hawk 3, but Black Hawk 1 and Black Hawk 2 thought that they were the most professional killers and could not confess so easily.
After interrogating them for a while, they still didn't say a word who was behind the scenes. But Lu Zhishen suddenly frowned, he thought of a good way.
'You're still stubborn, aren't you?' All right. I know you brothers. Then I'll put Black Hawk to death, and then blow up a piece of his meat for Black Hawk to eat. How's that? Your brother's meat is fragrant, and I promise you'll love the taste. I used this punishment on Yue Qun at the beginning. β
'Ahh Don't. Black Hawk II began to pee his pants in fright.
Ling Chi's execution was ruthless enough. It's scary.
Black Eagle seemed to be a little tougher because he was the eldest brother, and he didn't beg for mercy.
"Anyway, one of the two of you died, and there was one more person to confess, so I just flayed you alive in front of you and fried the meat for your brother to eat." Ha ha. β
As he spoke, Lu Zhishen took out a knife and prepared to stab Black Hawk.
At this time, as soon as Black Eagle saw Lu Zhishen's bright knife, he immediately succumbed.
I said. I'll say it all. It was the God of Wealth who instructed us to do it'
After Lu Zhishen got the confession, he immediately went to see Li Yibai.
"Big brother, I have found out about the assassins, it was the Eastern God of Wealth who sent someone to kill the eldest brother. This God of Eastern Wealth is really too hateful. β
Li Yibai smiled faintly, "You don't have to force a confession, I also guessed that the Eastern God of Wealth did it." He is the only one who dares to touch me in the Jiangnan realm. And I have sinned against him. β
'That big brother really wasted my efforts. Lu Zhishen said in frustration.
'Ruda, you're doing a great job. There is a specialization in the art industry. You have your strengths. You've done a great job protecting me today. You and your men will be rewarded. Recently, you have to strengthen your precautions, and the God of Eastern Wealth will definitely not give up. β
Li Yibai admonished again.
'Yes. Lu Zhishen nodded in agreement and then retired
Suzhou Dew Terrace.
'Sir. The money tent room gently came to the garden of the East God of Wealth, and at this time the East God of Wealth was holding a stunning beauty on the bed in the pavilion.
When the god of wealth saw the money room coming, he sat up and ordered the beauty to retreat.
He had a very good face, probably just having fun with a beautiful woman.
He smiled faintly, "Is there good news from the Black Hawk team?" Li Yibai killed it. β
The money account room's face was grim, "Master." No. Yes'
'What is it. Say it. The god of wealth also felt a little strange.
'It's the Black Hawk team that has been wiped out, Li Yibai is safe and sound, and our spies are the latest news. The money room had no choice but to speak directly.
'Ahh How so. The Black Hawks team that I have worked so hard to train for has always been foolproof. Is your message accurate? Could it be that the spies are mistaken. The god of wealth didn't believe it again, and asked again.
You can't be wrong. It was Hou Mingzi who personally reported it. He's a spy, and he can't be mistaken. The money account room said helplessly.
'Hmph. I must not let Li Yibai go. This Li Yibai is now getting more and more powerful, and the four gods of wealth in the Great Song Dynasty, each god of wealth's territory has always been monolithic. Now there is Li Yibai on my territory, he occupies a quarter of my territory, if I am high, he is uncertain. I'm sure I'll be laughed at by the other three gods of wealth. And he's killing my Black Hawk team now. My Black Hawk group.
I worked so hard to build it. I can't bear it. I must avenge the Black Hawk team.
Pass my order and immediately send the Tigers of the killer department. Continue to assassinate Li Yibai, and I will definitely kill Li Yibai for me. β
'Yes, sir. The money account room bowed his head and said.
The Tigers are a more powerful group of killers than the Black Hawks. But the Black Eagle team is already the number one killer organization in the Great Song Dynasty.
It turns out that the Tigers are the number one killer organization in the Golden Country. This organization is all from the Jin Kingdom, and all of them are extremely strong. This team was specially recruited by the Eastern God of Wealth from the Kingdom of Jin.
The people of the Jin Kingdom are brave and aggressive, like wolves and tigers, which cannot be compared to the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, the Tigers are much better than the Black Hawks.
However, after the Tigers entered Lin'an, they were all arrested before they could be assassinated.
After that, the Eastern God of Wealth sent the Crocodile Group, a more powerful killer organization than the Tiger Group.
But he was also arrested, and two team members were also killed.
After that, the East God of Wealth sent another lion group, and the same lion group did not rise up, and after entering Lin'an, 5 were killed.
At this point, the killer department of the Eastern God of Wealth was completely wiped out.
'This is my killer department. I worked so hard to build it. Killers I painstakingly bought from countries around the world. Li Yibai. You have destroyed them all. β
Dongcai gritted his teeth angrily.
'Sir, let's forget it. We don't think it's Li Yibai's opponent. Li Yibai's men have pistols. Which thing is very powerful, the five members of the lion group were killed by pistols. The pistol is lethal with one shot, and it attacks from a distance and is extremely lethal. β
The money room suggested.
'Nope. I can't let go of Li Yibai. I can't watch him get big, I can't let the other Fortuna laugh at me. The god of wealth flicked his sleeves, "You call all the officials and businessmen who are attached to us, and I want to have a meeting." β
Dongcai God has been working hard in Jiangnan for 20 years, officialdom, shopping malls, and gathered many subordinates. Many were his protΓ©gΓ©s. He is the black boss of Jiangnan, so many powerful and rich people worship under his door.
After a while, all these people arrived, and Cai Jing also sent Lu Ming to the meeting.
The East God of Wealth sat on a chair on a high platform, and there were many people sitting below, and the whole hall seemed to have a solemn atmosphere.
The God of Eastern Wealth had a straight face, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he spoke.
I have invited you here today to discuss an important matter with you. In the past, we could say that we had to be windy and rainy in Jiangnan, and no one could challenge us. But now it's different. Li Yibai appeared in Lin'an.
And Li Yibai also sat on the king of Wu and was given nine tin. He grew in strength, and one day he annexed Jiangnan.
Gangnam has always been our turf. Over the past 20 years, we have all shared the interests of Jiangnan, and we have lived a very happy life.
But now Li Yibai occupies Lin'an, not to mention occupying Lin'an, he is still implementing the so-called new law in Lin'an. His new decree did not collude with the government and business, and he raised the wages of the workers and put them to hold us accountable. He gave the mud-legged and petty traders the freedom to compete with us. How can we make our money if we continue like this? I think you've all been affected by that.
Li Yibai's ambition is extremely great, and it is impossible for him to stay in Lin'an all the time. He is bound to develop outward. Recently, his shipyard has opened in Shaoxing, and he has taken us seriously at all. His shipyard robbed us of a lot of business. We cannot sit idly by. β
After the East God of Wealth finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion below.
"What the Eastern God of Wealth said is right, Li Yibai really can't do my business now." I was afraid of his power, so I did not dare to speak up. Today, the East God of Wealth wants to take the initiative to take the lead in helping us get Li Yibai, I agree with it. I support you. β
A big businessman in Shaoxing said.
That's right, Li Yibai is too ignorant of lifting. He even changed the law to let the people supervise the officials, and this is okay, what if the people kick their noses in the face and ride on our necks to. I have worked hard to donate to the official, and I haven't enjoyed the prestige of the official, so I want to be a servant of the people, isn't this a brain kicked by a donkey? β
A county magistrate in Shaoxing said.
That's right. Li Yibai's factories are all monsters. Everything he produces is a novelty. These things don't sell our stuff. Although he did not sell it to us in large quantities. But the rich landlords of our land here have asked people to go where they have bought them. For so long, we haven't sold a few pieces of jade agate. β
A jade merchant from Haining said angrily.
Li Yibai's new technological products are of course more interesting than those agate jade. After all, the local tyrants are tired of playing with those things. Of course, they are more willing to buy new things when they see them. They don't lack money, they just need interesting new things.
The God of Eastern Wealth waved his hand to silence everyone.
'Good. Everyone is of the same mind as me. We are all brothers. Now we still have the most profitable industry in our hands, and that is the salt industry. We must not lose the salt industry. At the same time, we must unite to fight against Li Yibai. In the future, all states and counties will see Li Yibai's chamber of commerce selling goods to you. Then you sent men to let them in.
If Li Yibai wants to promote the new law wherever you are, you should not cooperate. It is better to stir the people against it. These made Li Yibai unable to do anything. When he can't do anything, he's going to have to fuck off.
So everyone has to stick together, and if I see anyone who dares not to do this, I will deal with him without mercy. He's going to end badly. You all know my methods. β
But Li Yibai is the king of Wu. He was also given nine tins. Haining Zhixian said worriedly.
This magistrate is quite cautious, he is not optimistic that the Eastern God of Wealth can defeat Li Yibai.
'Hmph, King Wu. What is King Wu. Don't forget, the emperor had no way to take us Jiangnan before. The court still depends on us to feed us. The court has to listen to us, Li Yibai is just a king of Wu who was crowned by the emperor. His power in the court is weak, and he is only a nominal title, so there is nothing to be afraid of. And as far as I know, the emperor of the court is also against him, and Cai Xiangye is also against him.
When the time comes, we will unite with the emperor, Cai Xiangye, and Tong's father-in-law, and we will definitely be able to bring down Li Yibai in one fell swoop. At that time, we will let Li Yibai die without burying him. β
When Lu Ming heard the Eastern God of Wealth say this, he stood up excitedly and said, "What the Eastern God of Wealth said is right. My father-in-law has long wanted to get rid of Li Yibai. Now everyone happens to be united, as long as we are united, Li Yibai will inevitably fall. (To be continued......)
