After taking office, Chen Zui abolished the ban on gambling among the dock brothers, allowing them to relax and work harder in their spare time.

But he was worried that once the ban was removed, everyone would sink day by day, so Chen Zui issued another order, "Don't gamble badly, once it causes a bad impact, all those who participate in gambling will be expelled from the Xiao Gang, and there will be no mercy." ”

At the beginning, there were still people who challenged the gang rules, knowingly committing crimes, and after a few cleanups, no one dared to gamble on the dock.

"Come on, come on, buy and leave!"

"Open, five-five-six, big."

There was a sigh at the bottom, "Hey, Miss Yanyan's luck is too strong today, five dealers, five kills." ”

Chu Yanyan moved the money she had won to her and counted it, "It only adds up to ten yuan in total, are you so distressed?" ”

"Miss Yanyan, you win more and lose less, you have won a hundred yuan these days."

Chu Yanyan said: "We only won a hundred yuan after playing for more than a month, which is really boring." ”

One said, "Isn't it, but there is no way, the helper does not allow us to play big." ”

Another said: "The helper is also afraid that if we become addicted to gambling, it will affect our work." Besides, it's already very good that Gang Leader Chen is willing to let us gamble on pleasure, but when the former gang leader is here, we can't even gamble, so don't complain. ”

"Come on and on, I don't believe it's all Miss Yanyan winning today."

After a few more plays, they still lost, and then everyone didn't want to play.

Chu Yanyan played happily and shouted, "Let's come again, don't you want to turn the tables?" ”

"You're so lucky today, let's avoid your edge."

"You're so boring, I've never flinched when I lost."

"Miss Yanyan, our money has to be used to support the family, there are not many people who can be used for entertainment, no more than you, and you have Shen Jiaotou above you to take care of it, can it be the same?"

Chu Yanyan's face turned red, "What are you talking nonsense?" ”

"What are we talking about? The three hundred and sixty degrees on the face of this Shen sect head said that it is interesting to you, and we are not blind, can't we see it? ”

"You are much luckier than the first envy girl, it took her five years to melt the 10,000-year-old ice cube of the helper. As long as you are willing to nod, can Shen Jiaotou still escape from the palm of your hand? ”

The crowd laughed.

"Helper, you're here."

Everyone was shocked, and they all restrained their smiles and stood up with their heads down.

"Steward Zheng, it seems that everyone is very idle, so idle that they have time to talk about the helper here."

When they saw that there was only Shen Hong alone, their hearts were a little relieved. Steward Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be surprised by Sect Leader Shen, today's goods are all out, and the brothers who are inspecting have also been sent out. ”

Many people's eyes looked at Chu Yanyan and motioned for her to say a few words.

Chu Yanyan also said: "The brothers are tired from work, but it's just a pastime, and there is no other meaning, you don't have to take it so seriously, right?" ”

Shen Hong softened his tone and said, "You can have as much fun as you want, just remember not to talk about the private affairs of the helper in the future." ”

Everyone nodded again and again, snickering in their hearts that Chu Yanyan's words worked.

The sun was setting, it was time to get off work, and everyone was about to disperse, when two brothers outside the door ran in, just about to speak, when they saw that Shen Hong was also here, they hurriedly greeted, "Shen Jiaotou is also here." ”

Steward Zheng said: "What are you flustered about? ”

One person said: "Sect Leader Shen, Steward Zheng, our brother is in charge of inspecting the docks, and we accidentally discovered that the Lin Gang was transporting a batch of arms just now. ”

Another said: "There is more than one batch, they have shipped several batches in a row." ”

"What's going on, be careful."

Recently, the brothers at the dock noticed a team of people carrying goods passing by on the road several times, and several brothers recognized them as disciples of the Lin Gang.

After the Xiao Gang became bigger, Chen Zui decided to calm the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and strictly forbade the disciples to find other gangs to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, because they only pretended to ignore it.

But today, several brothers who went out saw someone transporting goods on the road, and accidentally saw guns through the cracks in the boxes, only to find out that the Lin Gang was transporting arms.

Why did the Lin Gang transport such a large quantity of munitions? They thought it was very strange, because of the gang rules, they couldn't intercept and loot privately, so they had to come back and report to Steward Zheng at the dock.

Everyone was in an uproar: "What is Lin Bang going to do with so many arms?" Do they want to work against us? Ask the helper, and we'll have someone copy them......"

Shen Hong stopped, "Find out what's going on first, and don't jump to conclusions." ”

Steward Zheng said: "What Sect Leader Shen said is that I will send a few brothers to the dock of the Lin Gang to investigate quietly tonight to see what is going on, and then report to the gang leader." ”

Shen Hong said: "I want to personally investigate this matter, you can't act rashly." ”

Chu Yanyan said: "I am the best at tracking and tracking, I will go with you." ”

After nightfall, the two sneaked to the vicinity of the dock of the Lin Gang, and saw from a distance that the dock was brightly lit and people were coming and going, and they were shipping goods overnight.

By the time they had brought all the crates to deck, the sea was glittering, and several ships had come in the distance, apparently their buyers.

In order to find out the identity of the visitor, they quietly moved forward for dozens of meters, crawling behind a partition on the periphery of the dock.

The boat was moored on the shore, and a person on the boat walked out, through the light, Shen Hong only felt that the silhouette of the person who came was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

A man came out of the dock and met the man.

"Bai Gongzi."

"Gang Leader Lin."

Shen Hong suddenly remembered that he was Bai Wenhao. I only heard the leader of the Lin gang say: "Bai Gongzi, all the German arms that Bai Dashuai wants are here, you can take inventory, if there is no problem, you can transport it away." ”

"This time I have worked hard for the Lin gang leader, my father asked me to tell you that as long as we defeat Li Chengjing, the next step will be to help you eradicate the Xiao gang and support your Lin Gang to become the largest gang in the rivers and lakes." I haven't seen him for many years, Bai Wenhao's words are still so cold, he is really Bai Jingyi's son

"Thank you Bai Gongzi, I wish the handsome banner a victory and a long decision on the world."

The people on both sides of Bai Wenhao are ordering and handing over the goods, and the Lin gang leader has been flattering Bai Wenhao and flattering him to the fullest.

After the count, when they were transporting arms onto the ship, the two quietly walked away, and Shen Hong reported the situation here to Chen Zui overnight.

After hearing this, Chen Zui dialed the phone number of the commander's office and told Li Chengjing about tonight's events, but Li Chengjing said indifferently that she already knew.

She also told Chen that after the Changling incident, Bai Jingyi had turned to cooperate with the Lin Gang, and that Andre Lang had secretly signed an alliance with the Song and Bai armies, at the cost of the entire coast, and the person who secretly told her everything was Master Liu.

Li Chengjing said that she had to declare war on the Song and Bai families in advance, and finally asked Chen Zui to reinforce another 5,000 men and horses to garrison the coast.

The next day, Chen Zui held a meeting to explain the situation to everyone, and said: "I dare not forget the last wish of the first helper, so I always uphold the principle that no one will offend me, I will not offend anyone." But the Song and Bai families set up a plot against me, and now they are colluding with the Lin Gang in a vain attempt to disadvantage us, what do you say? ”

The hall master said angrily: "The Lin Gang is already the light of fire, and they dare to oppose us, so let's just strike first, clean them up, and never suffer in the future." ”

Xia Tang Master persuaded: "No, we have no evidence to prove that the Lin Gang colluded with the warlords to be unfavorable to us, and rashly took the Lin Gang, I'm afraid that the other gangs will be dissatisfied, in case they are afraid and join forces, it will be troublesome." ”

Chen Zui nodded, "Hall Master Qu is right, this is also what I'm worried about, the Xiao Gang can't be the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes." ”

The hall master said, "Then what should I do?" The Lin Gang and the Bai family join forces, is it possible that we also join forces with Li Chengjing? ”

The master of the Xia Hall said again: "In that case, wouldn't we just help Li Chengjing fight the world, if we don't succeed, we won't succeed." ”

The hall master shouted in a rough voice: "If you can't fight, you can't help, don't we care about it and let them bleed?" ”

In the midst of the quarrel among the people, Chen Youwei stood up and said: "Gang leader, the subordinates think that it is imperative that we should closely monitor the Lin Gang's every move, and if they have any abnormal moves, we will immediately take the first action." And as soon as the battle begins, we must maintain our neutrality and make good arrangements to prevent damage. ”

Everyone agreed with Chen Youwei's suggestion.

Chen Zui ordered to immediately send 5,000 additional soldiers and horses to garrison the coast, and the second hall master of King Xia paid close attention to the movements of the Lin Gang, and ordered Shen Hong and Lu Baiting to train the recruits as soon as possible, and ordered Chen Youwei to mobilize and prepare all the arms and grain and grass in order to plan for everything.

After the meeting ended, Chen Zui left Chen Youwei, and the two went to the inner hall, and Chen Zui retreated.

"Helper, do you have any other orders?"

"Brother Chen, once the war starts, do you think Li Chengjing will win or the Song Bai family will win?"

Chen Youwei said: "Marshal Li has a good command and is very popular with the people, and our Xiao Gang helped her stabilize the coast, although the Song and Bai families joined forces, but their subordinates thought that it would be Li Dashuai who would win in the end." ”

Chen Zui said again: "I went against the last wishes of the Xiao Gang Leader and cooperated with Li Chengjing, you said that the Xiao Gang Leader knew underground, would you blame me?" ”

Chen Youwei persuaded: "The gang leader is too worried, at this time and that time, you are doing this because of the current situation, but also for the sake of Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang Master knows underground, he will understand." ”

"So, if you're the helper, you're making the same decision, aren't you?"

Chen Youwei lowered his head and was speechless in embarrassment

"Brother Chen, I want to pass on the position of helper to you."

Chen Youwei was trembling and almost couldn't stand, Chen Zui grabbed him and said seriously: "Brother Chen, what I said is the truth, I want to pass on the position of helper to you." ”

Chen Youwei took two steps back and said in fear: "Under your leadership, the Xiao Gang has its current status, and you are in the prime of your youth, why should you abdicate in a hurry?" Subordinates can be mediocre, never can't. ”

Chen Zui opened his heart and told him his inner thoughts, even the words of Qian Ye without reservation.

"How can I live up to Chu Xian's deep affection for me, everything is going well with the Xiao Gang, I don't have to worry, after helping Li Chengjing to defend the coast, I will officially pass on the position of the gang leader to you."

"Helper, I'm ......"

"I've made up my mind, Brother Chen, please go back first."

Chen Youwei retreated in shock.
