Chapter 355: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes

Perhaps Luo Zhen was born with the potential to commit crimes, and after getting involved in the tobacco trafficking industry for the first time, he quickly entered the role and became a leader in this industry. But it is precisely because of this that he has become the public enemy of the gangsters in Cangzhou who make a fortune by selling tobacco and soil.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty has long been internal and external troubles, wind and rain, people's livelihood withered, bandits everywhere, in this environment, the balance of the season of trading can not be carried out normally, only the tobacco trade is increasingly prosperous, the root cause, is nothing more than that the tobacco soil is not as complex as rice and wheat, the land is barren or not suitable for planting, and the demand for tobacco is large, up to the princes and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, all are keen on this way, so the tobacco soil is only worried about no supply, but not worried about the market, therefore, Although the road to tobacco trafficking is far away, there are many robbers and bandits along the way, as well as the exploitation of various checkpoints, but as long as high-quality tobacco and soil such as Yunnan can be trafficked to Tianjin, Beijing and other places, the profits are still extremely lucrative, which is why the gangsters who control the tobacco and soil sales business in Cangzhou City regard the sudden rise of Luo Zhen as a thorn in their side.

However, Na Luo Zhen grew up outside the gate since he was a child, his temperament is unrestrained, and he is extremely violent, where do he know what the rules of the rivers and lakes, as long as I want to do anything, I will do anything, so that the gangs led by Qingmen in Cangzhou City have the same hatred and hatred, and they unite to strangle this foreign gang headed by Luo Zhen. After several battles, the gangster coalition in Cangzhou City was all defeated, and was beaten by Luo Zhen, who was victorious, and took the position of the leader of the Qingmen to take away, relying on the deterrence of the saber behind him, he subdued the indigenous gangsters in Cangzhou City, and became the first leader in the Qingmen Gate of Cangzhou City who had not performed the apprenticeship and did not understand the rules of the Qingmen incision, and it was also the first leader in the Qingmen who was not recommended by the patriarchs and went directly to the position.

Almost overnight, the gang rules that had been passed down for hundreds of years by Qingmen were subverted by an intruder who still exuded the wild atmosphere of Guanwai, which also heralded the arrival of a great change in Qingmen.

People are servile, especially the people living under the imperial power, always like to have a statue in their hearts for themselves to worship, and then put themselves in the first position of the dwarf, and bow to the idol three times and nine times every day, seeking psychological sustenance and support. The same is true of those Qingmen brothers, after being robbed of the dragon head of the Qingmen by Na Luo Zhen, at the beginning, those Qingmen brothers were still disinterested in Luo Zhen, who relied on the blood-colored scimitar to escort him to the throne of the Qingmen dragon head, but Na Luo Zhen was born in the grassland, and his heart was not as greedy and stupid as those old Qingmen stewards.

Na Luo Zhen is extremely smart, knowing that although selling tobacco here is a crime prohibited by the imperial court's order, he does not hesitate to start a war with foreigners for this reason, but those state officials who are financially stretched do not look at the gangsters who make a lot of smoke and windfalls, and hate to collect all the wealth accumulated by those gangsters to the official money, so he did not wait for the government to take action against the gangsters, and took the initiative to find the secretary of the state government yamen, and through that book, he revealed his plans to Shen Ruchao, that is, the Qingmen acted as a pawn in front of the trafficking of tobacco and soil. The government is the shadow leader of actual control behind the scenes, mainly responsible for informing the court of the latest attitude to tobacco trafficking, prohibition and other resolutions, and at the same time coordinating the various government yamen in Cangzhou City, not to make it difficult to clear the tobacco business, and the price obtained from it is that forty percent of the profits from tobacco trafficking belong to the government.

It is based on the secret contract established with the government that he does not dare to show people, Luo Zhen has no scruples to traffic a large amount of tobacco from Yunnan to the territory of Zhili, and accumulates a large amount of wealth in a short time, and Luo Zhen's overnight wealth and high-profile behavior after getting rich do not know how to converge, and finally opened the saddest and darkest page of his life force, that is, a mysterious organization strongly intervened in the Qingmen, controlled Luo Zhen in the way of Gu poison, and then used Luo Zhen as a bait to cleanly accept the Qingmen, and Luo Zhen became the leader, but many things have to be ordered or wait for the leader of the mysterious organization to call the shots, and Luo Zhen is just a puppet.

Luo Zhen was hit by the Gu poison that the leader of the mysterious organization put down to his body, if he couldn't take the antidote regularly, he would feel burned inside, and there seemed to be thousands of insects gnawing at his own ** in his body, and he couldn't help but die, so although Luo Zhen wanted to make up his mind several times and wanted to directly be the leader of the mysterious organization, how could the leader of the mysterious organization be guarded by bodyguards in and out, and his whereabouts were strange and erratic, and he had no chance to do it at all, plus the Gu poison in his body, if the leader of the mysterious organization died, he refused to say the antidote, Won't he die tragically from a Gu poison attack? When I think of that tragic scene, I can't help but hesitate in my heart, and I dare not have any more dissent. There is another reason why Luo Zhen can't make up his mind, that is, the relationship between the leader of the mysterious organization and Shen Ruchao is extraordinary, that Shen Ruchao is respectful to him, obedient to his words, and does not know where the leader of the mysterious organization comes from, Luo Zhen does not dare to act rashly. Now, it seems that the leader of the Qingmen is Luo Zhen, but the management of the gang and the trafficking of tobacco and soil are all in the hands of the leader of the mysterious organization, and it is precisely according to the instructions of the leader of the mysterious organization that Qingmen opened large and small tobacco shops in Cangzhou City, relying on poisoning the people with tobacco to make crazy money. As for the silver money obtained from the sale of tobacco, most of it was also seized by the mysterious organization, and there was very little left of the clearance.

Looking at the once powerful Qingmen leader in front of him, Li Shu'er was full of emotion in his heart, he was also up and down in Cangzhou City, but most of what he saw was just the appearance, and even Shen Ruchao's deep involvement in the trafficking of tobacco and soil was the first time he knew, and he was called an omniscient immortal, which really insulted the word immortal. However, as she learned more about the hidden shady scenes in Cangzhou City, the more questions Li Shu'er had in her heart, and the strange things in Cangzhou City seemed to have Shen Ruchao and the shadow of the leader of the mysterious organization, what role did they play in this, and what was the ultimate purpose?

"By the way, Luo Qianren, the real person asked you, how many of the rich merchants in Cangzhou City participated in this sale of tobacco and soil?" Uncle Li suddenly remembered something, looked at Luo Zhen with a depressed face and asked.

"Ho ho, this sale of tobacco and soil is so profitable, how can those rich businessmen not be tempted, like Lu Jingtian in the south of the city, Chen Kefa in the west of the city, suddenly became rich in a short period of time, do you really think that they just hired a feng shui master and set up the result of the Five Ghosts Fortune Bureau? If there was no such trade in tobacco and soil, even if the Feng Shui Bureau was deployed, it would be difficult to have the current situation. Luo Zhen looked at Uncle Li and said with a sarcastic smile.

Listening to Luo Zhen's words, Uncle Li just nodded silently, I don't know if it is okay, but Yang Yi on the side heard it like thunder on a sunny day, he couldn't believe that Lu Jingtian, who has always shown himself as a benevolent and benevolent person, is also one of the main criminals of tobacco trafficking, I really don't know how Ling'er would feel if he knew that his father was the same kind of person as those opium/chip dealers who trafficked tobacco and destroyed other people's families!

Of course, Uncle Li sensed the ups and downs of Yang Yi's emotions, and after glancing at Yang Yi, he said, "Don't be impatient, the truth is always unacceptable, just get used to it slowly." After that, he looked at Na Luo Zhen again and asked, "The Chen Kefa you said in the west of the city, but the Chen Mansion where the house suddenly caught fire a few days ago?" ”

"There is a Chen Mansion in the west of the city, which one else can compare with it?" Luo Zhen smiled for a moment, and then said something quite intriguing, "There are a few rich merchants in Cangzhou City who are not involved in the sale of tobacco and soil, and there are a few who have a good death, this trip to the muddy water is too deep, too deep......"

Seeing that Luo Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, Uncle Li knew that Luo Zhen had scruples in his heart, even if he continued to ask, he would not say anything more, so he adopted a roundabout tactic, changed the topic, and asked seemingly casually: "Luo Qianren, the real person has something unclear, you and I only have one side, why do you tell me so much, isn't it ......?"

Seeing that Uncle Li'er said very tactfully, Luo Zhen laughed a few times, and then his face turned straight and said: "What the old fairy asked is that Luo also knows that now Shen Ruchao and your master and apprentice have turned their faces, and they are looking for you everywhere, and we have common interests,; The old fairy suspected that Luo was instructed to deliberately say this, so that it was reasonable to induce the old fairy to be deceived, but Luo Mou invited the old fairy here today, just because he felt that he was guilty and violated the virtue of immortality, and wanted to end all this as soon as possible, so he sent someone to invite you on the grounds that the cigarette shop was smashed, just to hide people's eyes, otherwise, Luo only needs to tell Shen Ruchao where you live, why should he tell you so much like a resentful woman? ”

Seeing that Luo Zhen's answer was reasonable, and his eyes were also very open, Uncle Li bowed his head slightly, and sighed: "This real person has always boasted of knowing astronomy and understanding of geography, but now it seems that he is also a frog in the well, ridiculous and ridiculous, by the way, this real person has a reluctant request, I don't know if to ask ......."

"Luo Mou knows what the old fairy wants to ask, but it is difficult for Luo to obey his fate, because Luo is old, his children and grandchildren are full, and he has become more and more greedy for life and afraid of death, if Luo Mou says the name of the leader of the mysterious organization, it is not a pity to die with his own life, but he will be wiped out, so I hope that the old fairy will have mercy and don't ask again." Luo Zhen expected that Uncle Li would definitely ask about the origin of the leader of the mysterious organization, and resolutely refused.
