Chapter 40 Cangzhou Mansion

A golden morning sun fell on the tallest tower of Cangzhou Mansion.

Cangzhou Mansion is a large city located in the central and western part of Dayan, with a population of more than one million, which is second only to the Central Plains City.

There is a big river from west to east in Cangzhou Prefecture, called Canglang River!

Cangzhou Mansion is located on the route of this big river, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, it was the existence of the capital of the former dynasty, and it has the reputation of the small Jiangnan in the central and western regions, but even if it prospers because of the Canglang River, of course, when it comes to prosperity, it is naturally not comparable to the Bazhou Mansion, Haizhou Mansion, Jingshi and other large cities in the Central Plains or coastal areas.

However, at this time, the heavy rain poured down, so that the entire city was filled with a mist, looming, adding a bit of mystery.

In such a heavy rainstorm, there are still faint lampposts in the city, sparse, sparse, and only when the lightning occasionally crosses the horizon, the landscape of overlapping and majestically extending urban buildings is outlined in the field of vision.

The sudden heavy rain caught the people living in the city by surprise in the afternoon, and at this time, near the dock of Cangzhou Mansion, there were still people rushing in the heavy rain. In fact, the real chaos was over in the heavy rain in the evening, when many ships docked, rushed to load and unload the goods, and fixed the ships, and at this time still busy in the heavy rain, basically a part of the merchants who had an accident and could not afford the loss, spent a lot of money to hire boatmen who were not very afraid of death, and carried the goods here in the rain.

The city gates are about to close, and many merchants from the chamber of commerce are hurrying into the city to catch up with the city gates before they close.

In the sound of the wind and rain, these people are like ants, blown by the wind, staggering and shouting loudly. There was the light of torches in the carriage, and the houses in the city not far away, and many merchants were hurrying to try to move some of the things from the carriage into their rooms.

But under the eaves, many men in robes ran out, and these men shouted and began to help the merchants carry the goods.

These people are not the helpers of these merchants, but the members of the Canglang Gang!

Generally speaking, the merchants who come and go to Cangzhou Mansion have to go to Canglang Bang to worship a wharf, and then hand over some filial piety money before they can be used in the city, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch in this city.

Naturally, it can be named after the Canglang River, and naturally no gang can do this. Otherwise, the name of this gang suspected of occupying a river can easily cause the crowd to attack it.

A hundred years ago, the Canglang Gang was not called this name, but called the Zongjiang Gang, just because the Zongjiang Gang rose strongly a hundred years ago. At that time, the strength of the Zongjiang Gang was even more powerful in the realm of the three products, and he had a great reputation in Cangzhou Mansion, especially in Caoyun, so he changed his name to the Canglang Gang for a while.

However, since the leader of the Canglang Gang died of old age twenty years ago, the Canglang Gang has fallen into a situation of lack of success, and now the rivers and lakes of Cangzhou Mansion have gradually begun to be a little impetuous.

Especially recently, there have been more and more gangs that are more and more dissatisfied that the Canglang Gang is the leader of the rivers and lakes in Cangzhou Mansion. Especially in Cangzhou Mansion, which is close to the Central Plains and is so prosperous, there are many masters and gangs in various places. Since the death of the old gang leader of the Canglang Gang, it has naturally attracted the peeps of many people.

However, these Canglang Gang can only bear it silently, even if they want to get out, it is impossible, and now the entire Cangzhou Prefecture Jianghu forces have put the entire Canglang Gang on the grill and roasted it.

The main reason is that the Canglang Gang still occupies the dominant position in the rivers and lakes of Cangzhou Prefecture, but at this time, the Canglang Gang is not as majestic as before, and it is only maintaining the surface at the moment.

The entire Cangzhou Prefecture is almost in a state of turbulent undercurrent.

.....

At this time, a team of more than ten carriages was slowly coming from outside the city.

It was the Jiang family's convoy that arrived from Hengjiang City for three days and three nights.

Because it was really in a hurry, he didn't bring much belongings, just some land deeds and belongings, and then sent away those maids and maids who were unwilling to follow and came directly to the city.

Rao was like this, there were as many as ten carriages, and there were more than twenty dart men and masters on fast horses to follow.

In the carriage, there were not only the Jiang family's family members and belongings, but also many dart board men, scattered together There were more than 50 people.

At a glance, the Jiang family's convoy was the most spectacular, causing the soldiers who were defending the city to tighten their blades.

Jiang Heng sat in a carriage at the front, and when he entered the city, the speed of the carriage slowed down.

"Third uncle, why are the gang forces so rampant in the city?"

Jiang Heng looked at a line of men wearing robes and holding swords blocking the way from time to time, and couldn't help frowning.

At this time, there were many people sitting in this carriage, and Jiang Sanhai and several masters in the dart game were also here.

"Alas, the second young master doesn't know anything, if it was ten years ago, he only needed to pay a toll once to enter the city. But since now, the world has changed!"

The one who spoke was another master in the dart game, surnamed Liu, Liu Sandao, as his name suggests, is an expert in playing knives.

"Oh, Master Liu, I don't know much about the forces in the rivers and lakes of Cangzhou Mansion, you know a lot, why don't you talk to me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Heng suddenly became interested, since he was going to develop in Fucheng in the future, he naturally had to understand more about the situation in Fucheng, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.

After all, this is not a small place like Hengjiang City.

Liu Sandao nodded, touched the knife he was holding in his arms at all times, and said with a smile:

"To say that the Jianghu forces in this Cangzhou Mansion have a division, a gang, three gates and twelve halls, and are known as a division! What is a division, that is, the suppression department of the imperial court, and the official government forces in charge of the forces in the rivers and lakes of Dayan, which are generally set up in various state capitals, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

And this gang refers to the Canglang Gang!"

"Canglang Gang?" Jiang Heng pondered the name carefully, "It can be ranked with the government forces, I think it has its advantages, right?"

"Not bad!"

Liu Sandao nodded, "This Canglang Gang is a big gang that dominated the entire Cangzhou Mansion and even several surrounding state capitals decades ago, almost the entire Canglang River, as long as it is a person who walks the Canglang River, almost all of them must obey the orders of the Canglang Gang."

It is said that decades ago, the previous gang leader of the Canglang Gang was a big man of the third grade, and his strength was unfathomable, and even the Cangzhou Zhenfu Division had to rely on his snort at that time! However, because the previous gang leader of the Canglang Gang died 20 years ago, the current Canglang Gang's power has shrunk seriously, and it is gradually unable to suppress other forces in the Canglang River, and even the local forces in Cangzhou Mansion cannot be suppressed, so there are now three doors and twelve halls!"
