Li Tiezui's commentary yesterday was just a matter of adding some talking points to ordinary life for ordinary people, and the disturbances in the martial arts were too far away for ordinary people. For ordinary people, those chivalrous men who are happy to enmity and revenge across the rivers and lakes, like stars in the real world, have heard of the chivalry of the rivers and lakes spending a lot of money, and have heard of the life and death vendetta of swords and swords in the rivers and lakes. This makes ordinary people both curious and daunted.

When the morning sun shines on the prosperous capital of Luoyang, the ordinary people who rise and set at sunset start a boring and repeated day. The merchants who walked the streets sorted out the goods, and the vendors carrying melons, fruits and vegetables also lined up to enter the Luoyang City Gate. The shops on the street are buying and selling, and the yawning guys are doing their own work. Except for the wealthy businessmen who got up after three o'clock in the morning, even the officials and masters in the yamen got up early with the support of the maids.

As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and the largest rice store in Luoyang City, Liu's Rice Shop, will open on time every day, but today it is shrouded in an unusual atmosphere, and the century-old plaque of 'Liu's Rice Shop' is under the command of the owner of Liu's Rice Shop, and four guys in the store carefully removed the old plaque.

At the same time, two silk villages, three pawnshops, and one money shop on the same street also replaced their plaques under the command of their respective owners. When the pieces of 'Black Flag Rice Shop', 'Black Flag Money Village', 'Black Flag Silk Village', and 'Black Flag Pawnshop' were replaced one after another, and the flags with the word 'Alliance' written on a black background were displayed, all the pedestrians stopped to watch. And when I saw these century-old shops in Luoyang City, the same word 'black flag' in the replaced plaques. The people who listened to Li Tiezui's commentary in the Tongfu Inn yesterday seemed to have a sudden realization, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Why are they all black flags? Is it the same owner? ”

"Wouldn't this be what Li Tiezui said about the Black Flag Alliance, the overlord outside the Guanwai?"

"How much money does my good boy have for this Black Flag Alliance? Unexpectedly, so many hundred-year-old trumpets were taken down at once"

"It's really a rich country, take a look. There are already seven century-old shops with the flag of the Black Flag League."

"Oh, there's another company that has put out the flag of the Black Flag League."

In less than an hour, when a full eighteen large-scale century-old shops in Luoyang City were replaced with plaques with the words "black flag". After hanging out the flag with red letters on a black background, the pedestrians who came and went seemed to be numb by the sudden change.

In Luoyang City, groups of beggars hurriedly passed on the news after seeing the eighteen century-old shops replacing their plaques one after another.

After Wang Jiantong received the news from the disciples under the command of the Beggar Gang and confirmed the financial strength of the Black Flag Alliance, he began to hesitate. Although the beggars claim to have hundreds of thousands of disciples, most of them are from poor backgrounds. As the so-called poor and rich in martial arts, if you don't have enough meat to boil your body, where can you practice martial arts?

And the disciples who really know martial arts account for less than forty percent. And now not only Luoyang City has seen eighteen century-old shops change their flags, with the news sent by the beggars all over the Great Song Dynasty, just within two hours this morning, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, there are nearly 100 shops changing their plaques at the same time, hanging the flag of the Black Flag League with blood on a black background.

Besides. After being investigated by the beggar gang disciples who were all over the Great Song Dynasty, the reputation of the Black Flag Alliance, even in the green forests of the Central Plains, was very loud. Especially those who travel outside the customs all the year round are even more so. Even those wealthy merchants who resell horses and ordnance have to rely on the snort of the Black Flag Alliance when they go out of the customs. And those merchants who have seen extraordinary things. Regarding the appearance of this mysterious Black Flag Alliance leader, they all tacitly agreed not to mention a word, and kept their mouths tight.

This shows how huge the financial and material resources of the Black Flag Alliance are. Unexpectedly, the beggar gang, who claimed to be familiar with the world, had so many industries in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty without even noticing it. After the Black Flag League showed huge financial resources. Then the 50,000 elites that Li Tiezui said in his mouth, as well as the exquisite swordsmanship of his alliance leader 'Zhuo Bufan', must not be fake.

If this Zhuo Bufan was only alone, Wang Jiantong would naturally not be afraid. But it has such huge financial resources and power. In addition to the heroic posture shown by this 'Zhuo Bufan', Wang Jiantong, who has always regarded himself as chivalrous, will have to weigh if he wants to investigate whether Zhuo Bufan is the real murderer who slaughtered the Eastern Sect of the Infinite Sword Sect.

"Alas, what an eventful time," Wang Jiantong sighed.

Bai Shijing, Ma Dayuan, Elder Xu, Elder Xiang and others on the side were also shocked after seeing the information collected by the beggar gang disciples.

"Regardless of whether that Zhuo Bufan is really the real murderer of the Eastern Sect of the Infinite Sword Sect, my beggar gang must also take more precautions against this son's ambition!" Ma Dayuan said in a deep voice.

"What Deputy Gang Leader Ma said is that the Black Flag Alliance is now fighting in the Great Song Dynasty Frontier, and Ma Zhanshan is the king. Even if its power is huge, we have never heard of the information that the Liao State sent troops to recruit and suppress it, so it can be seen that there must be an ulterior secret between the Black Flag Alliance and the Liao State. Elder Xiang nodded in response.

"Could it be that there is really the support of the Liao people behind this Black Flag Alliance? If this is the case, the Black Flag Alliance invades the Central Plains, and our beggar gang will not leave him," the hot-tempered Elder shouted.

As the deputy leader of the beggar gang, and even more the head of the Pure Clothes faction, Ma Dayuan, who is in charge of the money of the beggar gang, shook his head, last time Qiao Feng led tens of thousands of beggar gang disciples to ambush the Liao general Yeluchuan, although this battle was won, but more than half of the 30,000 beggar gang disciples were killed and wounded, and a large amount of settlement and treatment costs were already unbearable for the beggar gang. "As the so-called catching thieves and grabbing stolen goods, now the news about the Black Flag Alliance's leader Zhuo Bufan's slaughter of the Infinite Sword Sect's Eastern Sect is just from Li Tiezui's mouth, unconfirmed, we have no evidence, to say that this Black Flag Alliance colluded with the Liao people, and it is inappropriate Although those shops have shown the banner of the Black Flag Alliance, but these are serious transactions... Some of them are also quite related to the government... If we act rashly, we will inevitably invite unnecessary trouble."

As for what Ma Dayuan said, even the hot-tempered Elder Xu has died down, and martial arts and the government are two worlds. Although the beggar gang mobilized tens of thousands of gangs to ambush the Liao State, the Great Song Dynasty government turned a blind eye. Sometimes they even open some convenient doors. But if the beggars do it without evidence, they will do something to these century-old stores that cover clothing, food, housing and transportation. The convenience of the government will not turn a blind eye.

Being able to lead hundreds of thousands of beggar gangs, Wang Jiantong is not only righteous and thin, but also his strategy is extraordinary, "What Da Yuan said is that now just the tip of the iceberg can see the financial strength of the Black Flag Alliance, just as the so-called money can make the ghost push the black flag alliance wants to buy some corrupt officials and corrupt officials for its protection, naturally it is not difficult to act rashly, and those ministers will definitely give my beggar gang the charge of killing the good and bullying the good."

And just when Wang Jiantong hesitated. As a great wisdom rudder, Quan Guanqing, the deputy helmsman, suddenly spoke: "The helper Rong Yu disciple has a plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Wang Jiantong, who was worried, glanced at Quan Guanqing in surprise, this Luoyang City is the territory of the Great Wisdom Helm, so this Quan Guanqing can come as the deputy helmsman. "People say that great wisdom divides the rudder, 'Ten Directions Show Talents', and the wisdom is unparalleled, and your strategy is said."

Quan Guanqing, who was calm and relaxed, saw everyone's eyes, first arched his hand towards everyone present respectfully, and said loudly: "Helper, elders, from that Li Tiezui's commentary, overnight, nearly 100 long-famous merchants in the entire Great Song Dynasty suddenly changed to the signboard of the Black Flag League at the same time, all these coincidences can only show that the Black Flag Alliance's plan is not small. But now there is not the slightest evidence to prove that this Zhuo Bufan is the real murderer who slaughtered the Eastern Sect of the Infinite Sword Sect. And since this message came out of Li Tiezui's mouth, there must be someone else behind this storyteller, who deliberately did it, so it would be better for us to wait for this news. It was passed on to the two sects of the Infinite Sword Sect, the West and the North. Let him find the Black Flag Alliance to ask for an explanation, and my beggar gang is calling on the righteous path of martial arts, and together they will send a message to Zhuo Bufan, the leader of the Black Flag Alliance. Let him come to Luoyang so that he can be given justice."

Hearing Quan Guanqing's words, which of the people present is not a long-standing figure? All of them are like human spirits. The most important face of people in the rivers and lakes, the shadow of people's famous trees. If this Zhuo Bufan didn't dare to come, then in addition to proving that this Zhuo Bufan had a ghost in his heart, it would also be a big blow to the reputation of the Black Flag Alliance. Even if Zhuo Bufan came in person, Luoyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains, not the snow-capped Changbai Mountain with a radius of 500 miles. It's the beggars' territory. With the Central Plains martial arts talents, there are many beggar masters, no matter how high Zhuo Bufan's martial arts are, he can't make any waves.

Most of the people had secretly agreed with Quan Guanqing's plan, and everyone's eyes were on Wang Jiantong. It can be said that the strategy of Quan Guanqing, the 'Ten Directions Xiucai', will not only play the name of benevolence for the beggar gang, but also withdraw the beggar gang from the matter. However, he wanted to use the two sects of the Infinite Sword Sect in the west and north to be the first bird.

After weighing it, Wang Jiantong said slowly, "There is my beggar gang and the same martial arts righteous path, measuring his Black Flag Alliance outside the gate to cover the sky with one hand, and I don't dare to come to Quanguanqing, you are worthy of the name of 'Ten Directions Show Talent', hahahaha, if Guanqing you go to participate in the imperial examination, maybe my beggar gang can still produce a champion"

Under some praise, Quan Guanqing hurriedly and modestly arched his hand.

At this time, in the private room of the 'Huanchun Building', the premier Qinglou in Luoyang City, Li Tiezui seemed to be light-hearted, but the smile in his eyes revealed the joy in his heart. There were also two men dressed differently on the side, one with a big belly and wearing silk and satin. dressed like a wealthy businessman, the other person was dressed in white, elegant and extraordinary, and looked like a chic and elegant literati. These two people are directly under the Black Flag Commercial Bank in Luoyang City, the stewards of the Tianzi Department and the Dizi Department.

Zhang Wancai, the manager of the local character department, dressed like a wealthy businessman, took a sip of the wine in the cup, pointed at Li Tiezui and quipped, "Old Li, you are really not authentic, since you recognize the alliance leader and his old man, you don't know me how to drink on weekdays."

The steward of the Tianzi Department is a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a scholarly appearance, named Li Shuqiu, who is a lifter, but unfortunately offended the powerful people of the dynasty and had no hope of becoming an official. Li Shuqiu, who had no hope of becoming an official, chose to do business, but was recruited by Mei Niang into his command a year ago. And Li Shuqiu, with his status as a lifter, can naturally contact the government in Luoyang City. Shaking the folding fan in his hand, Li Shuqiu played with the taste, "Hey, Zhang Yuanwai, this is not enviable, who let Li Tiezui have the ability to never forget?" Since the alliance leader and his old man are in Luoyang City, why don't we go and meet together? ”

Li Tiezui and Dou Wuhai, who had already taken the lead, smiled indifferently, and Li Tiezui smiled and said, "The alliance leader is coming to Luoyang in person, and we naturally want to go to meet Steward Li and Steward Zhang, you two will run this Luoyang City with a good reputation, presumably the alliance leader and his old man will not hesitate to reward."

At this moment, Dou Wuhai hurriedly ran in.

"Dou Wu has seen three stewards" After saluting, Dou Wuhai took out a note from his arms and handed it to Li Tiezui, who was still smiling just now, Li Tiezui's face became solemn, and he scolded angrily: "Hmph, I still talk about chivalry all day long, I didn't expect this beggar gang to be so despicable... This is the news from the herringbone department, which is developing within the beggar gang, and the two stewards will also take a look," and passed the note to Zhang Wancai and Li Shuqiu.

Glancing at the information recorded on the note, Zhang Wancai frowned and said, "The beggar gang flaunts chivalry all day long, but there are many disciples, and after seeing the strength shown by my Black Flag Alliance, I am naturally afraid. But we have to pay attention to this 'ten directions show all crowns'. ”

After reading the information, Li Shuqiu also nodded, "There are really outstanding people in the beggar gang, a Beiqiao Peak is said to be good at martial arts, and he is heroic." I didn't expect this 'Shifang Xiucai' to be a resourceful person."

"It's better to report to the alliance leader at this time and let his old man decide," Li Tiezui said in a deep voice. (To be continued.) )
