Chapter 29: Someone from the Government
Wu Hongxiong was previously the helmsman of the slave trafficker in the cigarette lock building, not only has a high position, but also has a lot of income, he can get a high salary every month, and he can get more oil and water, and now he is demoted to an ordinary gang, people have little power, oil and water can't be fished, and the salary is also greatly reduced, and the monthly salary is not enough for him to drink wine and eat meat, let alone visit the green house.
And Jiang Chonglou's statement is right, Wu Hongxiong did create the Smoke Lock Building with him at the beginning, and made contributions to the Smoke Lock Building, and he started the slave trade business, but now the helmsman of the slave trade rudder has changed to someone else.
Wu Hongxiong, of course, will be very depressed, the so-called from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Wu Hongxiong is also a very pleasure-loving person, how can he stand the current situation? He is not a peaceful person, so naturally he has the intention of betrayal.
But betrayal also has to have a doorway, Yansuolou is the largest gang in Shaojiu County, the owner Jiang Chonglou is a Xuanwu who has cultivated Xuangong, and the county order of Shaojiu County calls him a brother. Wu Hongxiong didn't know, so he was even more depressed, so he came to the Yansuo Tavern alone tonight to drink depressed wine, drinking Shaojiu, which is a kind of liquor that is a specialty of Shaojiu County, and Shaojiu County is named after it.
At this time, Wu Hongxiong heard two gangs at the nearby wine table talking about it, one was named Wei Xiang and the other was Hong Zhen, both of whom were slave traders and rudder gangs, they used to be Wu Hongxiong's subordinates, but now they are not, and both of them participated in the operation of escorting the slaves a month ago.
Wei Xiang said: "This time, I escorted a group of slaves to Gusu City to sell, and when I passed by Jiahe City, I heard a news that startled me. β
Hong Zhen asked, "What news?"
Wei Xiang said: "Didn't we get blocked by a group of thieves from Gunyi Village a month ago, that time a little slave showed his magic to kill that group of bandits, and this time I learned in Jiahe City that the people of Gunyi Village are tracking down the murderer!"
Hong Zhen said: "I'm afraid of a ghost, we didn't leave any clues when we left that day, and Gunyizhai won't find us here." β
Wei Xiang said: "That's right. β
Hong Zhen said: "By the way, when it comes to the events of that day, I am still very surprised, what is the origin of that little slave? It is clearly just a little slave, how can he suddenly burst out with such a strong strength? More than fifty bandits were all killed at once." β
Wei Xiang said: "I asked the brother in the rudder, the little slave is called Jiang Sheng, he is an orphan, he was raised by Xie Yanyu, the Qing man of Lianxianglou, after Xie Yanyu disappeared, the people of Lianxianglou sold this Jiang Sheng to our slave trader at the price of five taels of silver. β
Hong Zhen said: "I also know about this, but how can a little slave suddenly be so powerful?"
Wei Xiang said: "Because he is a Xuanwubei." β
Hong Zhen said: "Nonsense, of course I know that he is Xuanwu, and he is still a very powerful Xuanwu, even if he is our landlord, killing people is not as domineering as him, he is clearly a little slave, how did he suddenly become such a domineering Xuanwu?"
Wei Xiang rolled his eyes: "If you ask me, I will ask who to go, I am also curious!"
Hong Zhen sighed: "I've been in the rivers and lakes for nearly ten years, and I've seen a few strange things, but this incident is the most bizarre!"
After Wu Hongxiong heard this conversation, his eyes rolled for a moment, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking: "Jiang Chonglou, Jiang Chonglou, you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you, you can have today, I, Wu Hongxiong, have worked hard, since you forgot our brotherhood for a trivial matter, then don't blame me for betraying you!
......
......
The next morning, someone came to Ping'an Town to find Jiang Wusheng, this time it was not the people of the Xia Dao Gang, but it was more powerful than the Xia Dao Gang, because this time it was the people from the official government, and it was He Xizhao who came from the county order of Shushu County, and the officers and soldiers did not come much, only a dozen came, but they included two Xuanwu, and He Xizhao himself was a Xuanwu!
The Wuchu Dynasty admired martial arts, but local parents like the county commander were mainly civil officials, and this He Xizhao was a Xuanwu and could also be the county commander of the storytelling county, which shows that he is a person who is both civil and military.
Jiang Wusheng received this He County Commander in the lobby of the gambling house, and personally made a cup of tea for the other party, after all, it is a county order, Jiang Wusheng is no longer the Jianwu General in his previous life, and the so-called Reach Out and Don't Hit the Smiling Man, this He County Order came with a smile today, Rao is so, Jiang Wusheng still has to deal with it carefully.
He Xizhao asked, "Where does the young man come from?"
Jiang Wusheng replied: "I am from Jinling City, and my father works as an errand in the Jinling General's Mansion. β
He was born in Jinling City in his previous life, and the current Jinling General's Mansion was founded by him in the first place, and he was the first Jinling General! The reason why he is pulling out this banner now is undoubtedly to make He Xizhao worry about him.
He Xizhao said: "Oh, can you tell me my father's name, I have admired a few of the military attachΓ©s of the Jinling General's Mansion for a long time, maybe there is a father." β
Jiang Wusheng said: "I won't say the name, my father is just a little military attache on an errand." β
He Xizhao asked: "Then I don't know why the young man came to Ping'an Town?"
Jiang Wusheng replied: "I came out to practice, and it was just a coincidence that I came to Ping'an Town. β
He was indeed preparing to cultivate Xuangong for the next period of time.
He Xizhao asked: "I don't know what kind of Xuangong it is?"
Jiang Wusheng replied: "Iron Killing Fist". β
"Iron Killing Fist" is a kind of Xuanjing Xuangong, which is more common than "One Knife Slash", this kind of Xuangong is known for its brave killing, and the Xuanwu of the Jinling General's Mansion can obtain this Xuangong for free, and it is up to them to decide whether to practice or not.
He Xizhao believed Jiang Wusheng's statement, and asked, "Then how long do you plan to stay in Ping'an Town?"
Jiang Wusheng said: "About a month." β
He Xizhao continued to ask: "I heard that you have a maid, who is a Xuanwu who has cultivated the Thunder Attribute Xuangong, and Zheng Yidao was killed by her?"
Jiang Wusheng nodded: "This is indeed the case." β
He Xizhao asked, "Can you let me see me?"
Jiang Wusheng said: "My maid fought with Zheng Yidao yesterday, which cost a lot of true yuan, and she is in retreat and cultivation at this time. β
This is the truth, but even if Jiang Nian is not in retreat and cultivation at this time, Jiang Wusheng will not let her come out to see He Xizhao, there is no way, this girl is indeed very beautiful, even if she wears a veil, it is easy to be coveted, and the ghost knows if this He County Commander will be tempted.
He Xizhao asked tentatively: "I don't know if the young man intends to come to me to talk about the county government as an errand? If you come, you will be reused." β
Jiang Wusheng said: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that I will return to General Jinling's Mansion after completing this experience, and I don't have the intention of being an errand for the time being." β
He Xizhao nodded, didn't say anything more, stood up and prepared to leave.
"He County ordered to stay. Jiang Wusheng shouted at him to stop.
