Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dart Unites the North and the South
After Zhou Hao finished speaking, Zhang Degong continued to talk to Cheng Yue about the situation in the north, it turned out that Wu Sangui was unwilling to surrender to Dashun, Li Zicheng decided to lead the division to personally recruit, in order to raise military salaries, began to loot the property of the major chaebols in the north, and the major chaebols have transported their property to the south.
Of course, Cheng Yue wanted to take on more business and make a lot of money, so he said to Zhang Degong: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will lead my troops south tomorrow." ”
In the afternoon, Shen Tao's body was also taken care of by Zhou Hao, and his injuries were much better, and he woke up at dusk.
Zhou Hao desperately wanted to know a little bit about Liu Zeqing from him.
Shen Tao said: "I'm sorry for all my brothers, and I'm sorry for you, Brother Wu, my momentary anger killed dozens of brothers." ”
Wu Xiong was silent.
Zhou Hao said: "I don't know what kind of hatred Brother Shen has with that Luo Tianqi?" ”
Shen Tao said: "This is a long story, and it all has to start five years ago." At that time, the power of the big dart bureau quickly spread to the Hebei area, I used to be the head of the Cangzhou Evergreen Dart Bureau, Luo Tianqi was the deputy head of the dart, the big dart bureau wanted me to join the Evergreen Dart Bureau to join the big dart bureau, said that the Evergreen Dart Bureau will go to the dart flag of the big dart board, black and white no one dares to move the dart anymore, I know they say it well, in essence, they want to eat my Evergreen Dart Bureau, so I flatly refused. ”
Zhou Hao asked: "What kind of dart game is the Evergreen Dart Bureau, it sounds like it is very powerful." ”
Hearing this, the rest of the people threw very strange looks at Zhou Hao, and they didn't even know about the big dart game.
Wu Xiong said: "Brother Shen, you are just recovering from your injuries, save some physical strength, I'll tell Brother Zhou." ”
Wu Xiong said: "The big dart bureau is not a dart game, but an extremely large organization, its power from Liaodong to the capital, from the capital to Jianghuai, from Jianghuai to Nanjing, this thousands of miles. ”
Zhou Hao was taken aback, and listened to Wu Xiong's meaning, this force went south from the current Liaoning to Beijing, and then from Beijing to the whole of Jiangsu.
Wu Xiong ignored Zhou Hao's surprised eyes, and continued: "The nominal master of the big dart game is Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, but in fact Zhu Xiaoming. ”
Zhou Hao has not heard of Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, since he is the king and his surname is Zhu, he should be a member of the Zhu Ming royal family.
Wu Xiong saw Zhou Hao's confused eyes, and then said: "Ruiwang Zhu Changhao is the fifth son of Zhu Yijun of the Mingshen Sect. ”
"Zhu Xiaoming's original name was Shi Long, and he was King Rui's personal bodyguard. Later, King Rui was sealed to the area of Liaodong, Shi Long took advantage of the identity of King Rui's royal family, and quickly colluded with the powerful in the court, and more than ten years ago, the eunuch party represented by Wei Zhongxian was rampant in the government and the opposition. During the Apocalypse, Shi Long scavenged the people's fat and ointment everywhere in Liaodong, used to tie up Wei Zhongxian, first framed the Zhenwei Dart Bureau to make friends with the Donglin Party, so Li Changqing of the Zhenwei Dart Bureau was killed, Shi Long occupied the Zhenwei Dart Bureau without spending a penny, and with his strong connections in the government in northern Liaoning, he successively annexed dozens of Dart Bureaus and formed a huge Dart Bureau organization. ”
Zhou Hao said: "Shi Long has some skills. ”
Wu Xiong said: "This person is extremely shameless, when Wei Zhongxian was in power, he changed his name to Shizhong Wei, which means that he has been loyal to Wei Zhongxian for generations, and recognizes Wei Zhongxian as his father. The business of the dart bureau was a very profitable business at that time, Shilong took Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, as the head of the dart, in essence, he completely controlled the dart board, with the golden sign of the royal family, plus Shilong had the protection of the government, no one dared to touch his dart on the black and road, so it was said that handing over the dart to him was equivalent to putting it in the safe, and in just ten years, Shilong became a huge rich man in Liaodong. Later, when Emperor Chongzhen arrived, the eunuch forces completely collapsed, and Shi Long first exposed Wei Zhongxian's crimes to the imperial court and assisted the imperial court in arresting the eunuch members. ”
Zhou Hao smiled dumbly and said: "Shilong turned out to be a typical 'two-faced', but he had some political means. ”
Wu Xiong said: "This dog thing quickly changed his name to Zhu Xiaoming, because Shi Long used to do things under the banner of King Rui, plus he has a certain deep friendship with the nobles and dignitaries in northern Liao, Emperor Chongzhen for a while in order to consolidate his power, can not expand the attack surface, plus Emperor Chongzhen does not understand the situation, this time Shi Long has become a hero to destroy the eunuch party, Chongzhen and named it the Marquis of Liaodong." With the emperor's support for him, coupled with his many years of business in the government, Shi Long spent more than ten years to subdue most of the black and white forces on the tens of thousands of miles from Liaodong to Nanjing, and established an unprecedentedly huge organization, called the Big Dart Bureau, which is mainly engaged in the industry of Dart Bureau and Caoyun, and other industries are also involved, such as the pawn industry. ”
Zhou Hao basically understood the origin of the big dart game.
Wu Xiong said this, Shen Tao seemed to be a little unbearable and said: "Shilong, this dog thing, I can't wait to cut it with a thousand knives, Brother Zhou doesn't know, five years ago, the big dart bureau used coercion and temptation to make me join the big dart game, I have always hated Shi Long, of course I don't want to, I also know that I am not the opponent of the big dart game, and I am ready to fight for the lives of a hundred brothers in the whole dart game, and I will also hit the big dart game hard." I cleared a long street and sent a war letter to the big dart board, ready to fight to the death on that long street. ”
Zhou Hao secretly thought to himself, this Shen Tao seems to be a strong-blooded, brave and resourceful person.
Shen Tao continued: "I didn't expect that at this moment, the deputy dart head Luo Tianqi betrayed me, secretly colluded with the big dart bureau, and killed all my brothers inside and outside, and later, I desperately broke out of the encirclement, and suffered dozens of knife wounds on my body. ”
Zhou Hao heard Shen Tao say dozens of short sentences, and he didn't know how much blood and tears were contained in them.
Zhou Hao said: "It seems that the Dart Bureau must have activities in the Jianghuai Belt, otherwise why would Luo Tianqi appear in Cuiyunling." ”
Cheng Yue suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that this salt that I have protected is being targeted by the big dart bureau." ”
Zhou Hao said: "It's not very likely, the big dart bureau just heard Brother Wu say that the power is huge, how can you take a fancy to this salt." ”
Cheng Yue said: "No matter what, let's be careful." ”
It was getting late, and after everyone had eaten dinner, they went back to the inn room to rest.
Today, there are two groups of people in this inn, all the rooms of the inn are full, and there are more than a dozen people crowded into one room, and all the guards take turns to stand guard and protect the bodyguards.
The house where Zhou Hao rested was still the one he slept in last night, and Tian Zizi was already waiting quietly in the room.
Thinking of the uncertain future of life and death, Zhou Hao didn't know whether to be excited or panicked, the silver moonlight entered through the window, Zhou Hao really couldn't sleep, and only the lingering with the delicate and crazy in front of him could temporarily reduce the pressure.
