Dozens of helmsmen helped the crowd, hugging Hou Juntang's carriage and heading towards the center of the city.

He didn't lie to Zhang Chu, he really wanted to pay tribute to the county thief King Cao.

It's not just Zhang Chu's turbulent alley.

Before Zhang Chu laid down the Wave Hutong, the Qinglong Gang had already paid tribute to Lord Wang regularly every month.

In fact, not only the Qinglong Gang, but all the gangs in the Jintian Mansion had to pay tribute to the Lord Wang, who was in charge of the prison.

As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh.

Compared to the thick, long, and black thighs of the county thief Lord Cao Wang, the many gangs in the Allique Mansion are not even counting on their toes!

At best, nothing more than toenails.

If you dare to dig into the flesh without knowing the current affairs, pick up the nail clippers and cut them off.

Anyway, as long as the toes are still there, new toenails will always grow.

Unwilling?

Reluctant?

Fan no!

If you can sit in the seat of the county thief, all the gangs in the Allisky Mansion will also pay tribute to you.

......

Horse-drawn carriages cut through street after street.

Bypass alley after alleyway.

Finally here, the ...... of the royal mansion Back door!

made a bitch, and forgot to set up an archway, which is just the basic operation of the official.

The carriage stopped in the narrow back alley, and a helmsman who knew the way forward stepped forward, grabbed the copper knocker, gently clicked it three times and repeated it twice, and then stepped aside and waited quietly.

According to his previous experience, the old butler in the royal mansion would soon come and open the door and ask them to bring the money in.

But this time, he waited and waited, and no one came to open the door.

He suspected that the knock on the door was too quiet, and the people in the house did not hear it, so he hesitated to step forward again and grab the red copper knocker.

"Bell, bell. ”

"Bell, bell. ”

The bronze knocker rang rhythmically eight times again.

And this time, there was still no one to answer the door.

The helmsman couldn't help it, so he turned around and walked to the carriage, bowed and said, "Helper, no one answered the door." ”

Hou Juntang lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at the back door of the palace.

The palace was quiet, like an empty house.

He had some doubts in his heart.

Since he set up the Qinglong Gang in the west of the city, he has paid tribute to this Lord Wang every month, and he has been safe and sound for more than four years.

This is the first time something has gone wrong.

He pondered for a few breaths, put down the curtain of the car, and said calmly, "Send a brother to the county government to inquire about the current situation of Lord Wang." ”

"Yes, helper!"

Soon, several of the Helmsmen broke away from the convoy and headed in the direction of the county office.

Hou Juntang sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Several helmsmen helped the crowd to go, and it was more than half an hour.

When Hou Juntang's qi cultivation kung fu was about to wait impatiently, someone finally came back to report: "Helper, inquire clearly." ”

Hou Juntang said in a concise and powerful voice through the curtain of the car: "Say!"

However, the person who reported first looked at the many brothers in the gang around him, lowered his voice and said, "Gang leader, this news is inconvenient to leak. ”

"Get in the car!"

Hou Juntang said softly without hesitation.

"Yes, helper!"

The reporter swung into the carriage, then jumped into the carriage and got into the carriage.

"Helper, according to the news that his subordinates inquired from the county government Chen's chief book. ”

"Lord Wang's eldest brother, Wang Ningyuan, the general of Dingyuan of the Zhenbei Army, has been arrested and imprisoned by the prince of the Hou Mansion who has just returned home, and the crime is to raise his own respect, this matter may implicate the Wang family, and Lord Di of the county has been imprisoned by Lord Wang, waiting for the certificate of guilt of the champion Hou Mansion to be issued, and then deal with it as appropriate. ”

If Zhang Chu was here, he would definitely react immediately when he heard this, knowing that he had misjudged the situation of the high-level game in Jintian Mansion.

It's not that the former county soldier Cao Pangzhi is too weak.

It's not that the current county soldier Cao Lu An Di Lu is too strong.

It's that the county thief Lord Cao Wang himself has a problem, breaking the drum and hammering thousands of people, and the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing.

That's the hierarchy of status.

With Zhang Chu's current status, at most, he can get in touch with the big names at the level of the county thief Cao and the county soldier Cao, and the intelligence information he can obtain is still very limited.

And Hou Juntang, as the leader of a gang and with the strength of a seven-rank wrestler, has been able to contact a higher level of big shots, and the news he can hear is naturally more accurate and detailed than Zhang Chu.

It's like the stock market.

Those leek-like retail investors often chase the rise and fall according to some so-called "inside information" that catches the wind and shadows, but they often lose their fortunes.

And those real big dealers can analyze the real inside information from all kinds of smoke screens, carry out accurate sniping, and make a lot of money.

When Hou Juntang heard the news, he was also so shocked that he leaned forward slightly, "Has the news been verified?"

"Verified, correct!"

The person who reported the news replied firmly.

Hou Juntang slowly frowned two sword eyebrows.

The first thing he thought of was the impact of Lord Wang's fall on the Blue Dragon Gang and on him.

He didn't even need to think carefully to make up his mind, and the gang world of AllBright Mansion was about to usher in an earth dragon turnover!

These gang bosses, who are attached to Lord Wang's wings to beg for a living, pay tribute to him, and deal with some shady "small problems" for him, in a sense, they are all people who belong to Lord Wang's family!

For example, in last year's bloody battle in Sihaitang, he of the Qinglong Gang acted as Lord Wang's pawn, and fought with the newly arrived county soldier Lord Cao Lu in the air.

There is a way to be a son of heaven and a courtier.

Once Lord Wang falls, after the new county thief Cao takes the throne, he will definitely liquidate these people who bear the brand of the previous county thief Cao, and make room for their own people.

Even if the newly arrived county thief Cao can accept him to join the Qinglong Gang, the amount of tribute money will definitely be like Yinzi money, which will be multiplied several times.

No matter which ending it is, it is undoubtedly not what Hou Juntang wants to see.

But this matter is led by the champion Hou Mansion, and even the county guard Di Jiandi has to look at the eyes of the champion Hou Mansion, he Hou Juntang is just a gang member who can't be on the stage, what ability does he have to change the outcome of Lord Wang?

It can't change this ending.

He has to face the two endings after the new county thief Cao takes office!

Or passively wait to be liquidated.

Either take the initiative to send it to the door and be knocked on the bone and suck the marrow.

Choose one of the two!

Hou Juntang's face was a little ugly, he waved his hand and retreated from the gang in the carriage, raised his hands with a headache and slowly rubbed his sore temples.

A seventh-rank martial artist like him actually has the feeling that Zhang Chu and Zhao Changhui once had at this moment: weakness is even the original sin.

If he is a great man of the six-rank qi sea, what if Lord Wang falls?

No matter who becomes the new county thief Cao, as long as he is not stupid enough to be caught by the door, he will definitely not get along with a six-grade qi sea tycoon because of a little detail!

In the final analysis, the county thief Cao is just the official position of a seven-rank martial artist!

If he Hou Juntang can enter the official mansion, he can also sit in the position of the thief Cao of this county!

Thinking of this, Hou Juntang's aching brain suddenly became clear.

He lowered his head and glanced at the three big boxes in front of him, muttered for a moment, and suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Turn around and go to Nie's Mansion!"

The gang driving was stunned, and asked in a whisper for unknown reasons: "Gang leader, which Nie Mansion?"

"In this Jintian Mansion, how many Nie Mansions are there?"

"Of course, it's the mansion of Lord Nie, the county lieutenant!"
