At a small wharf on the main river of Suzhou, more than 40 people huddled in a simple wooden shed, which was silent, only the sound of heavy panting.

In the middle is a fat man, the fat man's body is covered in blood, fortunately he has thick skin and a lot of blood.

There was an old man standing beside the fat man, the old man's face was extremely cold, although he tried to keep his composure standing, but his right hand was trembling, and the steel knife on his right hand had been curled, which showed how many people he had killed.

Outside, there were shouts of killing and footsteps.

In the middle of the night, a voice sounded, "Young master, let's ...... What do we do next? ”

The fat man looked dazed, turned his head slightly, looked at the voice, and said hoarsely: "Wait." ”

There was only one word, and the fat man shut up.

"But, young master, there are many soldiers outside," a voice sounded, "we should hide." ”

"Where to hide?" Another person answered, "We're being looked for everywhere right now, and we can't leave anywhere." ”

"But we can't hide here, after a long time, they will definitely come to search the dock," the voice of the previous person was alarmed, "Maybe we should go to Xue Gong, isn't he an assassin?" ”

"Maybe Xue Weihai did it for the bastard."

"Impossible, our Green Gang has never offended the government, and those killers who pretend to be our Green Gang are all from the New Gang."

"But now it's the soldiers searching for us!"

"What the hell is going on!"

The discussion is getting louder and louder, and the mood is beginning to be unstable, these people are the backbone of the Green Gang who have just escaped from hell, or rather. Only more than 40 of them escaped. Some are because they are in the toilet. Some didn't drink at the birthday banquet, some helped count the gifts in the backyard, etc., in short, only more than 40 of them escaped, or in the desperate resistance of Lu Botao and Jiang Yongshu.

"Don't make any noise!" Jiang Yongshu suddenly spoke coldly, and his arm, which had collapsed due to excessive force, was still trembling slightly.

There was silence for a moment, and then another voice rang out. "But what are we going to do?"

"Wait!" Lu Botao spoke again.

"When is the time, young master, please give us hope,"

"Wait until ...... When Song Lang came to save us," Lu Botao sighed, "This is our only choice." ”

"But if he doesn't come, young master, he'll run an inn,"

"yes. Young lord, we should flee from the city. ”

"It's easy to say. Now the city gate is surrounded by new gangs and officers and soldiers, and they can't go anywhere. ”

"I said, wait, Brother Song will definitely come to save us, he told me," Lu Botao spoke again, his tone was unquestionable, "Don't quarrel, everyone, save some strength, if it is really discovered, it will be easy to fight." ”

"Yes, young master."

This time, the people around him stopped talking, and if it was really discovered, then fight to the death.

A very slight whistle sounded, three long and three short, and then stopped.

Lu Botao stood up suddenly, "It's here!" ”

Opening the door, a scholar-like person in the distance stood quietly by the dock, looking calm, and there were three canopy boats parked on the river, which were the boats used by Song Kai to load wine and tea.

Seeing Lu Botao, Song Kai nodded and pointed to the boat behind him.

Lu Botao turned around, "Everyone follow me on the boat." ”

The crowd jumped out of the boat, and hid in a black tent.

As soon as it was hidden, the footsteps of the brigade sounded at the dock, and the leader of the group, wearing light armor, was the guard of Crepe Dongliang.

Hearing the footsteps, Lu Botao and the others in the black tent held their breath in fright, for fear that something would be in trouble.

Song Kai stood on the bow of the boat, arched his hand towards the man, and then waved his hand, "Get out of the city." ”

"Song shop is slow!"

The guard frowned, hesitated a little, but still stepped forward and said, "Song Shopkeeper, did you see a thief movement nearby just now?" ”

"Where's the thief?" Song Kai chuckled, "I haven't seen it, in broad daylight, where will there be thieves?" ”

"It's the people of the Qing Gang, they poisoned and killed people at the birthday banquet, and the wolf was ambitious, and he actually wanted to dominate Suzhou City," the man looked at Song Kai's three small cargo ships, not knowing whether they should be forcibly inspected.

"Green Gang? Haha, I didn't see the people of the Green Gang," Song Kai didn't pay attention to it anymore.

The three boats rowed away.

"Song shop, please return!" The guard shouted, "So-and-so has something to say." ”

"Next time, I made an appointment with Xue Gong, and I can't delay," Song Kai said loudly.

Now the guards are out of line, since the assassination of Wei Wushuang, these guards don't dare to be arrogant anymore, and later after many guards in the city were secretly killed by Zhou Ce and others, these people didn't dare to be reckless.

The canopy boat went away.

"Head, did you say the ship would ......?" one of the guards whispered.

The leader of the guards shook his head, "No, besides, if there are really people from the Green Gang, he will definitely not be able to get out at the city gate, hmph, now Suzhou City is an iron bucket, no matter how powerful the Green Gang is, it will be difficult to fly......"

The canopy boat followed the river and soon approached the entrance and exit of the city gate, and by this time an iron fence had been raised in the river to stop the passing boats.

Song Kai frowned, now, he is not afraid of being caught, he wants to break out, it is very simple, but if he really breaks in, his identity will be exposed, in that case, he will have no place in Suzhou City.

More than 20 soldiers on the riverbank inspected the passing ships, including those brought by Xuan Dongliang and the former guards of Suzhou City.

Song Kai looked at the shore, and a man wearing an official hat in the distance attracted Song Kai's attention.

This person Song Kai has met several times and knows that his name is Zhou Zhen, because Zhou Zhen often goes to Hongchen Inn to play mahjong.

After thinking about it, Song Kai beckoned to Zhou Zhen.

At this time, Zhou Zhenzheng looked impatient, and it was cold, but he suddenly received an order to inspect all the ships, saying that he was going to search for the remnants of the Green Gang.

Zhou Zhen is not a good person, but he is not a bad person, he has been a city guard in Suzhou City for more than 20 years, from a small soldier, to the current centurion, there is no merit and hard work, long in Suzhou City, of course he knows that the Green Gang is not bad, how can it become a remnant.

Seeing Song Kai greeting, Zhou Zhen hurriedly ran over and straightened his hat, "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Song, is this going out of the city?" ”

Song Kai nodded, "I made an appointment with Xue Lao to go outside the city to get some goods, what's going on, why did you still put the river gate at the checkpoint?" ”

"The shopkeeper Song doesn't know, there is an order from above, saying that he wants to check the passing ships......" Zhou Zhen smiled, he didn't regard Song Kai as an ordinary shopkeeper, he had been a soldier for more than 20 years, and after being promoted to a centurion, he was also an official, and his eyesight was still there, he knew that the relationship between Song Kai and Xue Weihai was not ordinary, who was Xue Weihai, it was the history of Suzhou City, if Song Kai was an ordinary shopkeeper, could he have such a good relationship with Xue Weihai?

Song Kai casually threw over a gold ingot, and the gold drew a parabola and fell into Zhou Zhen's hand.

Zhou Zhen was stunned.

Song Kaidao: "Please also ask Zhou Lang to make it convenient, I am really in a hurry." ”

"Shopkeeper Song is too polite, trivial, trivial," Zhou Zhen smiled, put away the gold ingot, and then said loudly: "The boats in front of you are all out of the way for Lao Tzu, and, Wu San, you open the fence, don't you see that Shopkeeper Song wants to pass!" ”

"Yes, yes," Wu San was Zhou Zhen's old subordinate, who naturally obeyed, and scolded loudly, telling the surrounding ships that were being questioned to get out of the way.

"Zhou Jun, this is not good," a man walked up to Zhou Zhen and frowned, he was a subordinate of Xuan Dongliang, and he was supervising Zhou Zhen's work.

Zhou Zhen glanced at the man, "It's not a fart!" Do you know who's on board? It's Xue Thorn History! If you want to check, please take care of yourself, anyway, Lao Tzu will not go! Lao Tzu's people don't go! Lao Tzu still hopes to please Xue Tingshi and make a guard! ”

The man "uh", and when he heard Xue Weihai on that boat, he didn't say anything anymore.

The fence opened, and Song Kai's three cargo ships passed through easily.

Zhou Zhen said goodbye to Song Kai flatteringly, and Song Kai arched his hand, which was regarded as a thank you.

Lu Botao and the others in the shed breathed a sigh of relief, and when they left the city, they were finally safe.

Reflexively entered the black tent, Song Kai looked at Lu Botao and the others, and said: "It's safe for the time being, everyone drink some wine, suppress the shock, the injured people come out, there is a wine cloth belt here, and the bandaging is so fast." ”

Lu Botao's tears poured out, he looked at Song Kai, and knelt on the ground, "Thank you Song Lang for saving your life, if Lu can avenge this revenge for killing his father and destroying the gang, he will definitely set up a long-lived archway for Song Lang and bow down every day." ”

Song Kai hurriedly pulled up Lu Botao, "Brother Lu, what are you talking about, okay, everyone will rest first, bandage the wounds, and when we get to the tea garden, we will discuss the next things." (To be continued......)
