Chapter XI

Cangzhou's four gangs

The four major gangs in Cangzhou are the four most powerful gangs in the entire Cangzhou territory, and the salt gang in the east is rooted on the shore of the Bohai Sea and relies on selling sea salt for a living. The tea gang in the south, adjacent to Shandong, makes a living by selling tea. The horse gang in the east, close to the hinterland of the Central Plains, is engaged in horse trading. The boat gang in the north used the Haihe River valley to make great discoveries of shipping. The entire Cangzhou is firmly in the hands of these four gangs. When Li Jinzhong left Suning County the day after that, the second leader of the four major forces in Cangzhou came to Suning at the same time. The Guangping Society, which had many ears and eyes, received the news as soon as possible, and President Luo Nanxing personally led the crowd to welcome the people of the four gangs into the main hall of the Guangping Association, and then held a banquet to wash the dust for the four gangs.

After the scene was over, early the next morning, the second leader of the four gangs, Luo Nanxing, and Zhang Tiecheng sat in the meeting hall of the Guangping Society. This time, the four gangs jointly operated to track down the impermanence killer. The four gangs have all sent two masters to take charge, which shows how much these four gangs attach importance to this. Luo Nanxing spoke first at this time: "Did the four masters rest well last night?" Speaking on behalf of the four gangs is Cui Chengxiu, the second leader of the Ma Gang, who has a yellow and thin face, a sick face, and is wearing a plain white robe. He was like a poor and unsuccessful talent, but his wise eyes and the evil smile that was extremely disproportionate to his sick appearance showed that this person was not as weak as he appeared. He stood up and said politely: "Thanks to President Luo and Manager Zhang's hospitality, I, Cui, only express my gratitude on behalf of the four gangs. Luo Nanxing and Zhang Tiecheng got up to return the salute, and the other three also got up and saluted, and after a polite time, everyone sat down again, Cui Chengxiu continued: "The so-called three treasures hall for nothing, today the four of us led the crowd to come, but there is one thing I want to ask President Luo for help." One sentence to cut to the chase, Luo Nanxing had already guessed the reason, the four gangs of Cangzhou were making every effort to search for the mysterious impermanent assassin It was already a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes. The last time an impermanent assassin made a move, he killed Zhang Dahu, the three leaders of the horse gang in Suning County, and it was expected that the four major gangs would find the Guangping Society, the first big gang in Suning County, at this time, Luo Nanxing arched his hand and said: "Cui Xiucai, please speak, Luo Mou will definitely help the Plenum."

Cui Xiu is the name of Cui Chengxiu in the rivers and lakes, in fact, he is not a showman, at this moment he said: "Five months ago, the gang leader was assassinated on the painting boat in the river, and the murder made a musket, one shot killed, four months ago, the salt gang six hall master escorted a batch of sea salt, assassinated on the way, it was still a shot three months ago the tea gang Liu Wuye, returned to Shandong, just entered Cangzhou and died in the wilderness, still shot to death, two days ago I helped Zhang San to take charge, he was assassinated in Suning Liuyin Lane, presumably Brother Luo knew about it. Due to the urgency of the incident, I analyzed the actions and methods of this impermanent ghost, and if I was not mistaken, this person must still be in Suning County, and this person's martial arts skills are mediocre, but it is the power of the honor guard weapon, and it will be successful many times if it is lightly featen. The next four people want to ask President Luo to block all the roads around Suning County in the past few days, and those who go out of the city need to be checked, and we will look for clues in the city. said that Cui Chengxiu and the other three looked at Luo Nanxing at the same time, and Luo Nanxing immediately said: "It's no problem, rest assured, as long as this person is in the Suning realm, he will never escape." ”

If Cui Chengxiu's analysis just now made Li Jinzhong hear it, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat. Relying on fragmentary clues, this Cui Xiucai actually analyzed Li Jinzhong to a ** inseparable ten. This man is shrewd, and indeed he is not an ordinary person. If it weren't for Du Yinshan's prior arrangement, Li Jinzhong might really be found out by the people of the four gangs. It is said that the roundup of the impermanence killer in Suning County is in full swing, and the real impermanence killer is already not far from the border of Cangzhou. The dart team moved forward slowly, and Li Jinzhong rode side by side with Wei Tieshan. Wei Tieshan seemed to be in a very good mood, patted Li Jinzhong's shoulder and said to the mountain in front of him: "After this mountain, we will go out of Cangzhou, we have never been out of Cangzhou when we are so big" After that, he turned his head to look at Li Jinzhong, and saw that Li Jinzhong didn't seem to be very happy, Wei Tieshan said: "Xiaozhong, what's wrong with you?" I haven't seen you smile since I came out" Li Jinzhong raised his head and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at Wei Tieshan, seeing Li Jinzhong's expression, Wei Tieshan pushed Li Jinzhong's shoulder and said: "Forget it, you still don't fucking laugh, why do I feel that you are laughing so penetrating?" Pretending to be impermanent, the ghost pretends to be too much, and he becomes real impermanence. Li Jinzhong glanced at Wei Tieshan angrily and said, "People who don't understand anything are really happy." Wei Tieshan was immediately angry, raised his voice and said: "I don't understand what I mean" An old man next to him immediately stepped forward and covered Wei Tieshan's mouth and said: "Brother Tieshan, don't talk loudly here, there are many horse farms in this mountainous area, and the helm of the horse gang is also here. After listening to the old man's explanation, Wei Tieshan scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said, "Old Liu, the kid has written it down." Li Jinzhong sneered when he saw Wei Tieshan's embarrassed look, Wei Tieshan was about to have a seizure, thinking about it, so he could only glance at Li Jinzhong viciously, ignore him and turn his head and ride forward.

This Lao Liu is the old dart master of the Guangping Dart Bureau, who has traveled all the boundaries of the entire Hebei Province, and is one of the few living map-level characters in the Dart Bureau. After Lao Liu's reminder, everyone relaxed their movements, if they really disturbed the horse gang in the four major gangs in Cangzhou, it was not a joke. In silence, the group came to a ravine, which was so narrow and steep that they had to carry all the goods on their backs and let the cart pass empty, so that the horses would not be overwhelmed. But just as he was about to enter the canyon, a group of people on the opposite side of the canyon slowly walked over on tall horses. When Wei Tieshan was still looking at the people who came over, Li Jinzhong, who had extraordinary eyesight, had already quickly rushed to the team of dart masters. Because he has seen it clearly. Except for the middle-aged man with a well-proportioned figure and a lofty aura who took the lead, the rest of the people were dressed in the same outfit as the subordinate Zhang Dahu he killed two days ago. With a sharp turn of mind, Li Jinzhong immediately analyzed that this team of people was a member of the horse gang. Although he was sure that the people of the Ma Gang could not tell that he was the Impermanent Killer, he had heard from his master Du Yinshan that the people of the four gangs were trying their best to search for him. So Li Jinzhong immediately came to the team of the dart master and hid his personal muskets, steel balls, and gunpowder in several piles of goods. This is the best evidence that he is an impermanent killer.
