Heng Ye has a lot of boats on the Qinhuai River, Dong Sheng, Feng Ju and others all make a living by unloading ships and scattering forces, so they naturally know very well which ships are Heng Ye's. Because at this time, Lao Liu, who was more powerful, was busy fighting against the remnants of Heng Ye, and by the way, he took over more valuable gambling houses and brothels, and he had no time to come over to take care of the ferry, so Han Jian and everyone went to take over the mooring.

Among these people, led by Feng Ju and Dong Sheng, there were also sixty or seventy people, although the weapons were backward, but a group of people rushed onto the boat, and a few people watching the boat alone could not resist at all. And most of these people are simple men, driving Hengye's people off the boat, but they did not rush to kill them all, it took more than two hours, and in the second half of the night, they had already occupied more than a dozen ferries on both sides of the Qinhuai River in this generation, and took over more than 20 boats, many of which were still big ships carrying goods.

Comparatively speaking, the government's action was very slow, and it was only after midnight that the government in Jinling sent officers and soldiers to quell the riots, but at this time the banks of the Qinhuai River had calmed down, and the suppression of officers and soldiers was mainly aimed at the fight of the remnants of Lao Liu and Hengye.

By daybreak, the riots in the entire eastern part of the inner city had completely subsided.

In this competition for turf, Lao Liu finally became the biggest winner and took over most of the industries under Heng Ye. As soon as Heng Ye died, many of the people under Heng Ye followed the rising Lao Liu, and Lao Liu was also promoted to "Liu Ye" for a while and became the steward of this generation.

However, the government dispatched in time, and Lao Liu did not completely quell Hengye's old department, which was originally Hengye's old department under the leadership of Hengye's housekeeper Hu Biao, and kept part of Hengye's industry. plus Feng Ju and Dong Sheng, who were born from coolies. For a while, Hengye's territory was divided among the three parties, and among the three factions, Lao Liu was the most powerful, followed by Hu Biao, and finally it was Feng Ju and Dong Sheng's turn.

Feng Ju and Dong Sheng and others, who had been busy all night, were also a little difficult to calm down in the excitement, although they got the control of the cargo ship and the ferry, but the next thing they had to face was the scramble between Lao Liu and Hu Biao, in terms of strength comparison, they were obviously at a disadvantage, and they were also afraid that Hu Biao would retaliate. Take the turf back.

It's about to dawn. Feng Ju, Dong Sheng and others, as well as Han Jian and Ke Qu'er, who helped, called the stewards who participated in the operation together that night for a meeting. Before the meeting began, several very arrogant men came, claiming to be sent by Hengye. Let Feng Ju, Dong Sheng and others return the ship they took over.

"Now people are outside. How do we respond? Feng Ju did not make his own decisions at this time. Instead, he looked at Han Jian and asked for Han Jian's opinion.

Li Dangdang said with a little anger on his face: "Master Heng is dead, and they are still arrogant." Think we don't know and we're going to be afraid of him? ”

Dong Sheng said: "It doesn't seem good to ignore it, or ...... Go out and counsel? ”

When Han Jian heard what Dong Sheng meant, he knew that Dong Sheng was a little cowardly in this matter, he might still be the thinking of the original subordinate, and he didn't dare to fight with the strong people.

Han Jian said: "Brother Dong, now that the boat and the ferry are already in our hands, besides, Master Heng is dead, and Lao Liu's people are fighting with them, let us return the ferry and the boat to them, when we are wronged?" ”

Dong Sheng said with an embarrassed face: "But we don't have many people, even if Heng Ye dies, Hu Biao's people have more than 100 or even hundreds of people, they come to rob, we can't beat it after all." ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "When two tigers fight, there must be an injury." Now Lao Liu's people and Hu Biao's people will inevitably fight again for the turf, and the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the foundation and recruit manpower and wait for the opportunity to develop. It doesn't seem to make sense to admit defeat without a fight now. ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, Dong Sheng nodded in front of him, and Han Jian felt that he still had a lot of concerns.

Feng Ju was very supportive of Han Jian's proposition, and said: "Yes, we will go and tell those Lifu who originally ate with Heng Ye tomorrow, let them join us and eat with us, and the treatment will not be worse than that of following Heng Ye." If they don't follow us, they can only change careers temporarily, not afraid that they won't join us. ”

Han Jian nodded and said, "Brother Feng, this is good, let's do it first." Brother Ke, I'm sorry for you to go out and send away those who came to find trouble. ”

"Me?" Ke Qu'er has been standing aside, but she didn't expect Han Jian to send her out to do things.

"Brother Ke isn't in any trouble, is he?" Han Jian looked at Ke Qu'er with a smile and asked.

"Humph!" Ke Qu'er snorted coldly, didn't speak, walked out of the cabin directly, jumped ashore, and then a few miserable screams came, Han Jian didn't have to guess to know that it was a few people sent by Hu Biao who were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

"Solved." After a while, Ke Qu'er came back, and some of the stewards in the cabin couldn't help but take a breath. It was the first time they had seen such a violent woman, and she didn't look very old.

The meeting didn't last too long, and now that we have just taken over the ship and the ferry, there are not many people, and if we want to develop our power, we need to have manpower. Han Jian thought about quickly asking Feng Ju and the others to go out to contact, because Feng Ju was just a foreman after all, and letting him speak would convince those foremen who followed Heng Ye to eat.

"Without further ado, Brother Feng sent people to contact those who are begging for a living on the banks of the Qinhuai River earlier, and let them join us, I am most afraid that now that our foundation is unstable, Lao Liu and Hu Biao's people will come to find trouble." Han Jian said.

"Okay, Brother Li, I'll go to this matter myself." After Feng Ju finished speaking, he walked out of the cabin with Han Jian and went ashore, Feng Ju was a little embarrassed, "Brother Li, that ...... Brother Ke, I don't know what to do with Brother Li...... What is the relationship? ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "Friends of the same way in the rivers and lakes, this time it is a volunteer to help." ”

Feng Ju nodded, since Han Jian refused to say it directly, he didn't ask much, and hurriedly went to recruit those foremen to join their side. Parting, Feng Ju couldn't help but say: "Brother Li, you have the most credit this time, no matter what, you also came to pick up the burden of stewardship, and the brothers will follow you to eat in the future." ”

Han Jian's most difficult problem now is this problem, he will have to leave Jinling sooner or later, and he will definitely not come to be this leader.

"Don't mention this in advance, Brother Feng should hurry up and contact the manpower first." Han Jian said.

"But ......" Feng Ju stopped talking and hurriedly took a few people away.

Feng Ju didn't have long to go. As the sky became brighter, Han Jian and Ke Qu'er stood on the bank of the Qinhuai River blowing the river breeze, watching the people below busy and not speaking for a while.

In the end, Ke Qu'er couldn't help but say: "Hey, you are going to be the leader of a gang here, and you won't go back in the future?" ”

"Miss Ke thinks she will live here for a long time?" Han Jian asked coldly.

"I don't think you're going to stay, but why are you helping these people? These are just some people in the market, you are a county king, shouldn't you be on top? ”

Han Jian didn't want to answer Ke Qu'er's question. Because he knew that Ke Qu'er was originally prejudiced against him.

"When is Miss Ke going to leave?" Han Jian asked rhetorically.

"I'll leave at dawn. But I'll be back, don't think you can escape from my palm. Ke Qu'er said coldly. Don't wait for me to come back. If you are dead, then I will save trouble, go back and explain to the master, and her old man will not blame me for saying that I didn't take good care of you. It's you who seek your own death. ”

Han Jianduo didn't say. Seeing the dawn. Suddenly, I saw a slender figure on the riverbank running over in a hurry, and I was happy to see Han Jian stepping forward. Ke Qu'er looked at this figure and said coldly: "Your little lotus sister is here." ”

Han Jian knew that Ke Qu'er was following him last night, so he should know Xiaohe's identity. Han Jian heard this with a sour taste. couldn't help laughing, and at this time, Ke Qu'er also stood up to leave.

"Miss Ke is going to send her off?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

"No need, accompany your little lotus sister." As he spoke, Ke Qu'er left along the bank of the Qinhuai River with his sword. At this time, Xiaohe also arrived at Han Jian's side, and was looking at Han Jian with a concerned gaze, which also carried a bit of warmth.

"Brother Li, there was a lot of chaos in the city last night, you ...... You okay? Xiaohe asked with concern.

"Will you stand here and talk to you Xiaohe if you have something?" Han Jian smiled, "You go back first, it's not safe here for the time being, I'll go back to see you when I'm done." ”

"Hmm." Han Jian didn't expect the girl in front of him to be so obedient, Han Jian said let her go, she didn't even say anything disobedient, "Then Brother Li, I'll go back and wait for your news first." ”

After speaking, Xiaohe turned around in three steps and walked in the opposite direction to Ke Qu'er on the riverbank.

Han Jian waved his hand to see her off, feeling a little emotional, how could he find a sense of home in such a foreign land where he was unfamiliar with his life?

Half an hour later, Feng Ju came back with dozens of people. Han Jian came down from the river embankment, he knew that when it was time to really hold a gang meeting, at this time the people had already been contacted, the territory was there, the boat and the ferry were there, and even the warehouse was there, and all that was left was how to rely on these resources to form a gang and then make the gang bigger.

"This is Brother Li." Feng Ju smiled and introduced to the people who followed him, Han Jian took a look, these people are also five big and three coarse, and they should all be Lifu on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

"Brother Li, hello." Those Lifu hugged their fists and greeted Han Jian.

"Brothers, go to the warehouse and talk." Han Jian pointed to the warehouse road on the riverbank.

Originally, when there were not many people, it was enough to discuss things in the cabin, but now that so many people came at once, the cabin could no longer carry so many people, so they had to go to the hold on the shore to talk.

Waiting for Feng Ju to send everyone in, he came out and said to Han Jian: "Brother Li, those Lifu heard that we occupied Heng Ye's ferry, and most of them said that they would come over and follow us to make a living, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that others wouldn't be able to convince the public." ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "Brother Feng is highly respected, isn't it more suitable than being in Xia?" ”

"Brother Li is joking, I'm just a rough person, I don't understand this, if it weren't for you, Brother Li, who could kill Master Heng, how could we occupy all the ferries on the riverbank?"

Han Jian smiled and said nothing, it was okay to recommend Feng Ju to be the master, but there was also a Dong Sheng. After all, Han Jian has known Dong Sheng for a longer time, and Dong Sheng has also been kind to him. However, Dong Sheng's biggest problem is that he is a little cowardly, and he doesn't have many ideas, so he may not be the right person to be in charge.

Han Jian and Feng Ju arrived in the warehouse together, and there were dozens of people in the warehouse at this time, most of them were foremen of all sizes, and there were also brothers brought by the foreman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Master Heng died last night, and now his territory has been divided by Hu Biao and Lao Liu's people, the ferry side is now under our control, are you willing to eat together in the future?" Feng raised his voice and said loudly.

Although the people below knew that there was chaos in the city last night, they were not too clear about some things, and when they heard Feng Ju's words, they still had some discussions in private.

Feng Ju continued: "If you don't want to eat together, the door is over there, and no one will stop you from leaving." Whether you follow Lao Liu or Hu Biao in the future, we will not interfere, but if you want to eat on our Qinhuai River ferry, don't say that you won't give you face. ”

Feng Ju's soft and hard words made Han Jian feel that this was indeed a person with brains.

"Okay, it's a mixed meal everywhere, but now we make our own decisions, and we can eat a little more food in this mouthful. Naturally, we are willing. Someone in the crowd said, "But you have to ask in advance, what do you mean by doing things like this?" Who will be in charge of the future? Who takes care of the accounts? Who's in charge? ”

With this question, many people below echoed it, after all, this is a major event related to their livelihood. Now they just have ships and territory, but after all, they are not theirs, and if they are treated badly, they don't want to be bullied.

Taking advantage of the noise below, Han Jian said to Dong Sheng: "Brother Dong, if you come to be this family, everyone will listen to you in the future." ”

Ma San originally looked at Han Jian, and when he heard Han Jian say this, he didn't expect Han Jian to be so generous, after all, in addition to Dong Sheng's brothers, the people who joined later were more convinced of Han Jian, and now Han Jian intends to give up the position of the head of the house, and for an old brother like Ma San, after all, he has been eating with Dong Sheng for a long time, and he knows Dong Sheng very well, so he naturally wants Dong Sheng to come out and be in charge.

"Boss Dong, what do you think?" Ma San looked at Dong Shengdao with some anxiety.

"Brother Li, it's not easy for me to take a few brothers to beg for food, and I can't read words, let alone manage accounts, how can I bring so many brothers to eat together? I'm not up to the task. Dong Sheng said with a bit of sincerity in his tone.

Ma San knew that Dong Sheng was saying the same thing, he didn't want to do it, but he really didn't do it. Ma San hurriedly looked at Han Jian and said, "Then Brother Li is in charge, naturally everyone is happy and convinced." ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "I still have little qualifications, if Brother Dong doesn't want to come out to be in charge, let Brother Feng be in charge." What do you think? ”

Dong Sheng nodded and said, "Brother Feng is humble and a candidate for the house. ”

Ma San originally hoped that Dong Sheng or Han Jian would come out to be in charge, so that his status would be higher, and Feng Ju would inevitably promote his original brother when he came out to be in charge. However, Ma San also felt that it was better for Feng Ju to let others come, so he nodded and agreed.

After Han Jian got Dong Sheng's consent, the biggest concern in his heart was also eliminated. Now Feng Ju is elected to be the head of the house, so that Feng Ju can take everyone to eat, and the development of the gang will be more promising in the future.

Han Jian walked up to the stage and signaled the people below to be quiet, and everyone saw a young man they didn't know coming to the stage, but it was the young man Feng Ju admired very much, and they all quieted down, wanting to hear what Han Jian had to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Heng Ye died violently last night, Brother Feng made a quick decision, and took us to snatch back the ferry, boats, and warehouses, Brother Feng is the one who has the greatest credit, and now Brother Feng is out to take charge of the house, and take you to do something big together, how about it? ”

The people below looked at each other, and immediately echoed: "Okay! Just push Brother Feng out to be in charge! (To be continued......)
