Chapter 349: Contest
When Hong Wang learned that there were people selling illicit salt in his territory, he was extremely angry and immediately called the relevant gang to report it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Salt Gang disciple who was sent over felt the murderous aura emanating from Hong Wang's body, although he was afraid that he would have to complete the task. I had to report the matter to Hong Wang with a trembling voice.
Recently, the salt merchants of the Green Turban Gang noticed that the small salt merchants below were buying less salt from them. Although famine caused by natural disasters will affect the sale of salt, salt is a necessity and consumption will not be drastically reduced for no reason. Some of them must have been making trouble, and after several investigations, they found clues, and those small salt merchants bought salt from sources other than the salt gang, and asked the salt administration department of the government, and the answer was that no more salt was brought in.
"Didn't you follow the clues provided by the little salt merchant?" Hong Wang asked dissatisfiedly.
"We checked, but those who sold salt were very cunning, every time they bought and sold with small salt merchants, they negotiated the price of salt in advance, and only after getting the money did they tell the salt merchants where to get salt, and not many people showed up, and the salt merchants had no way of knowing who the other party was and where the salt was transported from." The disciple of the Green Turban Gang replied cautiously.
"Go down, let them keep an eye on it, and make sure they find out who is selling illicit salt." Hong Wang knew that it would be useless to get angry with such a little minion, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and drove him out.
But things can't just end like this, Hong Wang left several main leaders in the gang to discuss how to deal with it.
"Now that the enemy is in the shadows, we don't even know who the opponent is, which is very difficult." The leaders of the gang are also at a loss.
"I have a way to do this, since the other party wants to sell salt, he will also contact those small salt merchants, we will find a few trustworthy small salt merchants and promise to give them low-price salt in the future, let them give us a message, and then when they are trading, they will be arrested with salt, I don't believe it, I can't find the people behind the scenes." Hong Wang saw that no one else had any choice but to follow his own ideas.
"It's a good idea, or is it a resourceful helper." The gang can't forget to pat on the back anytime and anywhere.
"Then organize capable people to do it." Hong Wang turned a deaf ear to the flattery of the gang and ordered them to go to work immediately.
Hong Wang's method really worked, and it wasn't long before a small salt merchant came to report that an outsider had contacted him and sold him cheap salt.
The Green Turban Gang immediately asked the little salt merchant to find a way to find out the ins and outs of that person, and the little salt merchant was ordered to do it. But the other party was very cautious, and he didn't talk about anything other than the sale of salt, and he was thrown off by the Qingjin gang to follow him.
In the face of such an opponent, the Green Turban Gang had no choice but to use the last resort, so that the small salt merchant agreed to the transaction, and the silver was delivered to the salt seller, and the two sides agreed on the place to receive the salt.
The hopeful Green Turban Gang soon turned from joy to disappointment, and the captured salt seller did not resist for long before confessing, but he didn't know much about it, he was hired as an intermediary, and he was ordered by the upline to contact the buyer, and he didn't know where the salt came from or where it was stored.
Of course, the people of the Green Scarf Gang would not believe it so easily, all kinds of torture went into battle together, and in the end they didn't get more information, it seems that this person really didn't know, so he had to report the results to the gang leader Hong Wang.
Hong Wang was not in a hurry, and ordered people to keep an eye on the small salt merchants in various places, and tell them whether they wanted money or death, and if they traded with others with the Green Scarf Gang on their backs, then wait to lose their heads. And the ultimate goal of the opponent is to sell the salt, and it is impossible for them not to come forward. Over time, there is always a chance to catch these thieves who steal money from the Green Scarf Gang.
The news that a batch of salt had been stolen quickly reached Guo Zhiyi, and although the loss was not much, it also showed a problem, someone had attacked his convoy, and he must have been dissatisfied with his trafficking in illicit salt.
Guo Zhiyi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent people to find out who did it. The Green Turban Gang didn't want to hide this kind of thing, and the gang members all thought that with their strength, no one dared to take the initiative to provoke the Green Turban Gang. The kind of things they do can also have the effect of intimidating opponents.
Guo Zhiyi didn't dare to act rashly after figuring out that it was the hands of the Qingjin Gang. Born in Jinyiwei, Guo Zhiyi still knows the Green Scarf Gang very well. The power of the Green Turban Gang is all over the country, and even the government gives them a few points. Not only were they able to use money to open up all aspects of salt transportation, but they also used the salt purchased from the imperial court as a cover to sell a large amount of illicit salt. He also used the proceeds from selling salt to raise a large amount of salt, and the black and white green towel gang ate it.
Guo Zhiyi specially returned to Shandong for this reason and reported the situation to Zhang Chu, and he finally decided on the countermeasures.
"The strength of this Green Turban Gang is still very strong, can we change the location of salt sales and switch to a place where the Green Turban Gang is relatively weak to operate salt." Guo Zhiyi finished his report and also expressed his thoughts.
"We can't back down, from the first moment we started selling illicit salt, we should have known that someone would come out to fight us, and I thought that the first to stand up would be the people from the government. Unexpectedly, the Green Scarf Gang was the first to stand up. If we back down, they will definitely have to inch in and squeeze us out of the market step by step. Our efforts were in vain. Zhang Chu was mentally prepared for this, so he was not very shocked.
After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he beckoned to Guo Zhi to come to the table covered with maps, and then said: "You tell me about the distribution of these Green Turban Gangs, we have to find a suitable place to give them a ruthless blow." ”
Guo Zhiyi simply recounted the situation of the Green Turban Gang that he knew, and heard Guo Zhiyi say that the situation summarized by the intelligence department could corroborate each other, Zhang Chu finally made up his mind to give the Green Turban Gang a ruthless blow, which played the role of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that the Green Turban Gang could learn a lesson and dare not interfere with the salt trafficking activities of the security forces.
The elite of the security army was taken away from Shandong by Guo Zhiyi, and their target was the lair of the Green Turban Gang, and if they wanted to make trouble, they would make trouble in the most lively place. In this way, the Green Turban Gang will be impressed, and will understand the power of the security army, and the security army will be able to occupy the salt market across the country.
A few days later, Hong Wang, the leader of the Green Scarf Gang, got the news that someone was going to sell illicit salt, and the enemy had hit the door of the house, Hong Wang naturally would not be soft, he wanted to sell it, let him sell it, and in the end, they grabbed all the goods, and they could get a lot of salt, silver taels, why not. He doesn't mind doing it again like the last time. If the opponent has enough money and people, Hong Wang is willing to continue to receive this big gift from the door. (To be continued.) )
