Chapter 353: Destiny Gambler
The funeral of the beggar gang heroes became a complete farce, the people in the rivers and lakes felt that the beggars were arrogant and domineering, and the beggars felt that the people in the rivers and lakes did not know how to do it.
It is inevitable that the two sides will tie up the beam, and the two elders of the law enforcement also came in a hurry, they originally stayed in the Central Plains because Lu Hanjiang went north, but they didn't expect the Lu gang leader to do such a big thing in the north.
finally saw Lu Hanjiang, but was deceived by the other party for a while.
In fact, Lu Hanjiang's methods are not clever, and many of the ways he taught those beggar disciples are laying the foundation for the future, but anyone with some foresight can see that there is something wrong.
For example, Lu Hanjiang forced the beggar gang to the point of having no relatives step by step, this kind of policy of self-isolation from the right path of the rivers and lakes, a discerning person knows that he has bad intentions at a glance, but now everyone thinks that this Lu gang leader has great wisdom, and he is playing a big game of chess.
Even not only the beggars themselves, but even the Shaolin Wudang and other big factions on the rivers and lakes did not dare to underestimate them, they all thought that the beggar gangs had great plans, and they were all stepping up their defenses.
In fact, in the final analysis, it was because Liang Benlang's old gang leader was too famous, so no one ever thought that in fact, this Lu gang leader had a problem from the beginning.
Lu Hanjiang used the reputation of Liang Lao's gang leader to establish a righteous reputation, and he overwhelmed the major factions in the rivers and lakes with several incidents, and even Jinyiwei did not give a good face, so that everyone understood his methods.
With both prestige and strength, Lu Hanjiang, the gang leader, is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, and now even if he is clearly doing bad, that is, he is clearly going to bring the beggar gang to the fire pit, the disciples will also swear that their gang leader must be far-sighted, but their eyesight is too shallow to see.
Lu Hanjiang has packaged himself as a master of the layout of the world through a series of events, and his every action will now be deeply interpreted by all factions in the rivers and lakes, and his every move attracts the attention of the entire rivers and lakes.
At this point, Lu Hanjiang could actually stop it, he didn't even need to do it himself, as long as he gave some specious orders to the beggar disciples from time to time, this ancient sect would immediately fall into the abyss.
However, at this time, Lu Hanjiang was not in a hurry to complete the last step, first, he still had to use this identity to participate in Gongsun Cheng's crown ceremony, and second, this time the beggars helped the disciples to besiege and kill the Snow Rakshasa gave him a lot of inspiration.
The premise that he intends to get rid of the beggar gang with the help of the rivers and lakes has not changed, but in fact, the operation can be a little different.
In the past, what he wanted was to destroy the reputation of the beggar gang, and then bring the guiding ideology of the crooked beggar gang to let them kill themselves on the rivers and lakes, but now, he suddenly found that such a large group of beggar gang disciples, if they were used to deal with those eye-catching sects, wouldn't it be excellent cannon fodder?
Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed like a spark falling on paper, Lu Hanjiang immediately has several goals in his heart, but he has put them down for the time being, because before that, he still has to go back to the capital.
There is no other reason, if you want to use the power of the beggar gang to fight other Jianghu sects, you first need to effectively deploy its strength, after all, no matter how stupid the cow is, it will not be able to move if you don't give it grass.
When he was in Bluestone City before, he had thought about taking the land of Jiangnan into his arms, but now that he has the beggar gang in his hand, he can eat something ugly and sweep away the small fish and shrimp left in Jiangnan.
However, there is a force that cannot be jumped over, it is not a demonic path, nor a righteous path, nor even a river and lake, but in the land south of the Yangtze River, it has a special status.
To be precise, it has a special significance for Lu Hanjiang, who has the dual identity of the leader of the beggar gang and the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu.
That force is Meihua Academy, which is owned by Luo Yuanjing, the white-eyed master, and is also one of the thriving places of contemporary Confucianism.
Luo Yuanjing once lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River, under the pseudonym Baimei, and received a few disciples, but he did not do a big job, this Meihua Academy was later Luo Yuanjing entered Beijing as an official, and his disciple Qi Yunzhou was created, and Luo Fuzi was the dean, and he served as the acting dean.
The academy itself is a place for teaching and educating people, and it is neither mixed with the party disputes of the imperial court, nor has anything to do with the disputes of the rivers and lakes, so it stands to reason that there is nothing too wrong with it, and the problem that makes Lu Hanjiang look obtrusive is Luo Yuanjing, the dean who is far away in Beijing.
Although this old Buxiu supports the prince's forces, he is not in the same way as the crown princess, and even different from the former prince, he means "holy grandson", and he does not value the strong princess and the domineering prince.
But everyone is a person who has rolled in the officialdom, who is not like a mirror in his heart, Luo Fuzi does not seem to rely on both sides, that means that he is still hesitating, he still has the possibility of swaying, which means that he may be co-opted by either side.
Because it is obvious that it is really difficult for him to rely on his own strength to pull up a faction that purely supports the ascension of the "Holy Sun".
It's not that Lu Hanjiang is not optimistic about this old master, speaking with facts, the crown prince, the crown princess, and even the later Qiao Shifang, they are all apprentices taught by himself, but as a result, good guy, no one is the same as him.
At this level, it is difficult for Lu Hanjiang to believe how long he can maintain this seemingly neutral position.
Now that he plans to use the beggar gang to make trouble, after occupying the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, except for the Jinyi Guard and the beggar gang, he will not allow third-party forces to reach into the south of the Yangtze River, so this Meihua Academy is very eye-catching.
After all, if this old man fell to the crown prince or the crown princess one day, wouldn't it blossom in the center of his territory.
After the incident of the last trip to the Dongfang family, Lu Hanjiang no longer doubts the ability of the crown princess at all, this person is the same as him, they are all natural gamblers, and they are also the kind that are favored by the heavens.
For others, if something can't be done, the probability of 70% can start planning, the probability of 80% can be further considered, the probability of 90% can gamble, and the probability of 10% can be let go.
But for Destiny gamblers like Lu Hanjiang and the crown princess, they only need a 30% probability that they can press all the chips stud.
This is the case with the siege of the Dongfang family, the crown princess has no conclusive evidence at all to prove that "Lu Seventeen" is Lu Hanjiang, everything is her speculation, but it is the slightest possibility of this star that makes her bet on the hole card of the Dongfang family.
After the analysis of the situation, whether this matter is successful or not, the card of the Oriental family will be abolished, which shows that the courage of the princess is really within the reach of people.
So when Luo Yuanjing fell to her side, it was not how strong the old master's self-control was, but when the crown princess planned to use him to make trouble in Jiangnan.
Although this old man is now highly respected and can be called the mainstay of Confucianism, even Old Man Meng's evaluation of him is not low, but Lu Hanjiang has a hunch that if the crown princess wants to calculate him, he is afraid that this old man will enter the game before he reacts.
So he had to guard against it.
After instructing Elder Qi on some things, Lu Hanjiang rushed back to Beijing, the first thing he had to do was naturally to give gifts, and it was his duty to go out for such a long time, and it was also his duty to come back and bring some gifts to his family and friends.
Secondly, the day after Lu Hanjiang returned to Beijing, he went to the Guozijian to find the old master to catch up.
