In the third year of Jiaxin, on the fifth day of October, Yueyang, Xiangzhou, at noon, the sky was full of fog. This is Yueyang Tower, and today, it will become the most lively place in the whole Xiangzhou.

Fifteen years ago today, a female water bandit in Yunmengze cut the palms of several other hooligans with a knife and dripped them into a broken porcelain bowl

The man of "Xiaowei" asked tremblingly while sucking on the wound in his palm:

"Eldest sister, we are also heroes in the rivers and lakes from now on, what do you say our gang should be called?" The eldest sister frowned, and she didn't reply for a long time, when another bandit next to her spoke:

"If it weren't for the money that Xiaowei stole some time ago, coupled with the hard work of the bitch who coaxed him day and night, we wouldn't have been able to make up the money for today's drink...... If you want me to say, let's choose a name, it should be related to stealing things and opening a kiln. Xiaowei couldn't help but sneer:

"Then why are we called the Kiln Gang? Gang of thieves? Or combine it and call it a cheating gang...... You idiot, whether it is a gang, a trick or a nickname on the rivers and lakes, you have to get big and wide, like you, what are the words? The man was furious:

"Are you laughing at me? Xiaowei, don't forget that you were beaten by me two days ago! After being a turtle for two days, is it so majestic? One more word, and the lord will cut off your turtle's tail. Xiao Wei only felt a chill in his crotch, and took two steps towards the eldest sister before he spoke:

"If you want me to say, even if I make a fuss about stealing things and women, I have to say it bigger, I have a good name, not only can I combine these two topics, but also swallow the world and the world, and the momentum is extraordin......ary" Speaking of this, Xiao Wei pursed his lips, and the words were broken, and the person who had argued with him before couldn't help but say:

"Say, Xiaowei." Xiao Wei said coldly:

"I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that others will cut off my turtle's tail when I am strong." The man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily:

"Fuck, stop it...... Xiaowei, you said yours, it's okay for Lao Tzu not to speak, right? Xiao Wei said:

"Stealing the day, the crotch is good. Isn't it majestic to use this as a lottery head? ”

"Shut up!" The eldest sister, who had been silent for a long time, raised her hand and interrupted the dispute between the two:

"Ah Wei is right, the name of our gang must be big enough, and it must not be petty." Xiaowei was stunned:

"Eldest sister, what else can we do besides these?" The eldest sister lifted the broken porcelain bowl and threw it forward, poof, the broken porcelain bowl fell into Yun Mengze, and the blood in the bowl drifted away with the ripples, rippling one by one, the noon sun shone up, reflecting a beautiful brilliance, but in this beauty, it revealed a little cruelty.

The eldest sister said slowly:

"Killing people and selling goods, abducting and selling people, and bullying and dominating the market...... There is also the water business of the Cao Gang, the land business of the White Tiger Society, and the private salt business of the Zisha Gang...... All the business will be in charge of us in the future. Xiaowei and everyone were shocked:

"Eldest sister, there are so many businesses, let's take a name that won't look good, and when the time comes, we have to say half a cup of tea, isn't it ......?"

"No," the eldest sister waved her hand:

"This is Yunmengze, bringing together the four waters, flowing into the Yangtze River, connecting the entire Xiangzhou, we take a 'Jiang' word, I hope that in the future, our Jiangyue Gang can be like the Yunmengze in front of us, and the power is all over Xiangzhou." When Xiaowei and the other scoundrels heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other - seven or eight hooligans who only knew how to use their fists and feet; There were four knives in all, two of which were missing, and one was rusty; Everyone added up to only a few taels of silver, and the property in the gang, except for a broken bed, was only that person's old and yellow old meat prostitute...... This is the case, but the eldest sister said that the power should spread all over Xiangzhou, which sounds tantamount to a fantasy.

The eldest sister ignored their surprised eyes and continued:

"With water, there must naturally be mountains, when I listen to the opera, I often hear Mr. Storyteller mention 'three mountains and five mountains', among which the Nanyue Hengshan is in Hengyang, Xiangzhou, and we are called Yueyang here...... I look at the second word, it is better to take the word 'Yue', the achievements of our gang, in the future, we will go beyond the mountains and go straight to the clouds! ”

"So, let's call it in the future?"

"It's called Jiang Yue Gang."

"Jiang Yue Gang, Jiang Yue Gang, hiss...... It's hard to read. ”

"The name eldest sister has been obtained!" The scoundrels couldn't help but open their mouths and discuss the names of the new gangs, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and they were all right

The name "Jiangyue Gang" is very satisfying. The eldest sister quietly watched them talk nonsense, and after a little stopping, she stretched out her hand:

"The Jiangyue Gang was established, and its power is as wide as a river, and its achievements are as high as Yue. From today on, we do not seek to be born on the same day, the same month, the same day, but to die on the same day, the same month, the same year, the same day, the same blessing and misfortune, and the ...... of honor and disgrace" The scoundrels stretched out their fists to counteract:

"Live and die together!"

"Blessings and misfortunes, honor and disgrace!"

"I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!"

"Jiang Yue helps the number one in the world!" ………… At that time, there were nine people when the gang was established, and to this day, only Chen Qiaochu and Wei Ye are left, and the rest of the people, within a year of the establishment of the gang, either died in the revenge of the hostile gang, or blocked the knife for Chen Qiaochu or Wei Ye, and died in the chaotic knife, until the time of death, I did not see the day when the Jiangyue Gang dominated Xiangzhou.

However, every year on the fifth day of October, the Jiangyue Gang will hold a ceremony on the bank of Yunmengze, in addition to commemorating the establishment of the Jiangyue Gang, but also to pay tribute to the seven people who died.

On the first anniversary of its establishment, in addition to the death of seven people in the Jiangyue Gang, the new kiln that had just been set up was also occupied by the hostile gangs, Chen Qiaochu and Wei Ye, taking advantage of the hostile gang rotation in the middle of the night, quietly came to the Yueyang Building, did not even dare to light the candles, took out half of the jar of residual wine, sprinkled half of it, drank half of it, hugged and cried while drinking, after drinking the wine, the two escaped from Yueyang at night, like a lost dog.

On the third anniversary, the Jiangyue Gang who had gone away returned to Yueyang, in addition to Chen Qiaochu and Wei Ye, they also brought dozens of good hands, and then they found that the rival gang that almost destroyed the Jiangyue Gang and even killed the two of them was so vulnerable, they killed all the enemies, cut off their heads, and placed them on the offering table to comfort the spirits of the seven companions in the sky, and chopped up the corpses and threw them into Yunmengze to feed the fish, announcing the return of the Jiangyue Gang.

On the fifth anniversary, under the joint siege of Wei Ye and Brother Dulong, the Yueyang rudder of the Cao Gang was wiped out, and from then on, the Jiang Yue Gang mastered all the underworld business in Yueyang - the skin and meat business, the casino business, the illegal salt, human trafficking, fraud, robbery, murder, and land...... Finally stood at the peak of Yueyang for the first time.

This year, Chen Qiaochu got in touch with the Yueyang prefect, got the protection of the Yueyang Mansion, and completely took root.

The seventh anniversary, this year is the busiest year for the Jiang Yue Gang, and even when the ceremony is held, many people have not had time to change their bloody clothes.

This year, Wu Gongzi and the Shuangdao Tiger joined in one article and one martial arts, so that the Jiangyue Gang was like a tiger with wings, and the Jiangyue Gang finally stretched out its hand to the whole territory of Xiangzhou, it was like a gluttony that could never be eaten, desperately expanding and encroaching, and at the same time forming countless enemies, led by the largest Cao Gang, joined forces to suppress the Jiangyue Gang, the most tragic one, the enemy even entered Chen Qiaochu's bedroom, although the enemy was quickly torn to pieces by the Shuangdao Tiger, but this joint attack is indeed unimaginably powerful, almost impossible to resist...... The seventh anniversary ceremony ended in a hurry, and Chen Qiaochu returned to the room with a tired face, but saw a strange person, who was not his stepfather at that time.

From the second day onwards, the Jiangyue Gang launched a full-scale counteroffensive, and the mountains of gold and silver stimulated the fighting spirit of the Jiangyue Gang, who picked up countless good swords and fast swords, and cooperated with a group of masters who came from nowhere, and quickly dealt a heavy blow to the enemy in Xiangzhou...... In the eighth year, with the collective surrender of more than 50 gangs led by the Cao Gang, the Jiangyue Gang came to the peak, that day, Chen Qiaochu was like a crowned emperor, step by step to the top of Yueyang Tower, she lowered her head, it was thousands of Jiangyue Gang, their eyes flashed with blazing light, the collective worship of the gang leader from the heart, Chen Qiaochu announced loudly, since then, the Jiangyue Gang is the largest gang in Xiangzhou, Chen Qiaochu today carried the flag and stood up, and rewarded meritorious deeds, giving a red belt, 32 black belts, and 88 purple belts...... After that day, Xiangzhou was black and white, mentioned

The three words "Chen Qiaochu", everyone is discouraged, and she has one more title since then, the master of Xiangzhou. Year 9, Year 10...... Thirteenth, fourteenth.

The scale of the annual ceremony is getting bigger and bigger, and it is even more lively than the New Year, with thousands of empty alleys and extraordinary momentum.

Today is the twenty-fifth year since the establishment of the Jiang Yue Gang. Yueyang Lou was cleared early, the sandalwood offering table, covered with gold velvet cloth, the incense burner is made of pure gold, it is integrated, the high incense is invited from the Qingyan Temple in Liaodong, opened by the monks, thick as a calf, lit can be burned for half a month.

There are still seven tablets on the table, and this rule has not changed since it was set - everyone knows that the gang leader Chen Qiaochu is a person who values credibility and friendship more importantly.

Downstairs in Yueyang, thousands of chairs were set up early for the high-level backbone of the Jiang Yue Gang, the visiting officials at all levels, the leaders of the large and small gangs, and the elders and disciples of various sects who came to the banquet.

Behind the seat, there is a big high platform, the well-known troupe, juggling team in the background is busy in full swing, and there are many discussions - I heard that for today, the Chen gang master spent a lot of money, and actually invited the first horn in the south of the Yangtze River Mei Fang sleeve to perform to help the fun, that horn Mei Fang sleeve, it is said that the voice is wonderful, and the words are round, and the aftersound is lingering, which really responds to the sentence in the poem

"Kunshan jade broken phoenix called, hibiscus cried and dew Xianglan smiled", everyone was full of joy and wanted to open their eyes.

In the four corners of the city, some people have prepared the salute made by the best craftsmen in Huizhou in advance, and as soon as the time comes, they will fire the cannon to congratulate and celebrate the beginning of the ceremony.

All restaurants in Yueyang today, eating, drinking and accommodation are free, no matter what your identity is, as long as you come today, even if you are congratulating Jiang Yue Gang, all the expenses are borne by Jiang Yue Gang, the poor, the down-to-earth men, beggars, and thieves learned the news early, and they entered Yueyang Tower before dawn, and they ate and drank a lot in the restaurant, Jiang Yue Gang saw it, not only did they blame them for eating white food and fighting the autumn wind, but helped them maintain order, today's gang ceremony, as long as they don't make trouble, they are all temporary friends of Jiang Yue Gang.

Hundreds of black and purple belts patrolled the city, cooperating with the government officials to maintain order and ensure the smooth holding of the ceremony.

Chen Liujie, the prefect of Yueyang, is fifty years old and his beard is a lot whiter, but today he is full of energy, and he asked someone to carry him in a sedan chair and wander around the city, and before he reached a crowded place, he poked his head out and shouted to the crowd:

"Today is the day of the great joy of the Jiang Yue Gang, thank you for participating in the ceremony, I am here, for my stepmother Chen Gang Master, thank you to all friends, everyone eat and have fun, don't be polite." Said

When the word "stepmother" was used, he deliberately dragged it out, and it seemed that as long as one less person knew about it, he would be in vain today.

The people of Yueyang City, each family has a few taels of silver on the table, this is the Jiang Yue Gang to give them, it is strange to say, since Chen Qiaochu carried the flag and set up the stick, the Jiang Yue Gang's business in Yueyang has become more and more secretive, less and less, so in the past few years, the entire Xiangzhou, the people of Yueyang have suffered the least scourge, as long as the interests of the Jiang Yue Gang are not touched, the Jiang Yue Gang will never provoke the local people, and even occasionally give the people some benefits, just like the past two years, the Jiang Yue Gang even built a few good halls in Xiangzhou, People who have just come to settle in Yueyang, they don't know what happened before, and they should have met a living Bodhisattva.

…………

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang ......" The sound of fireworks sounded overhead, and then the entire Yueyang City was boiling, and people shouted in unison:

"It's time to start! The ceremony has begun! "Just when the entire Yueyang City was in full swing, Jiang Yue was the chief rudder, but Chen Qiaochu stayed alone in the secret room, expressionless, sitting quietly.

"Sheng Yu Ember was robbed, Li Guangyu of Tianxing Pavilion and that woman actually took advantage of the fog to escape from Ah Hu's pursuit, as for the cook and that little ghost, I heard that they have been robbed, is that person Jiang Xiaoshu? Jiang Xiaoshu Jiang Xiaoshu, so many days have passed, and there is no trace of this person at all. Chen Qiaochu couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, the faintly uneasy intuition in her heart never lingered, not to mention that now that the enemy had not been eliminated, she really didn't have much heart to participate in the ceremony.

Bang...... Bang...... Bang......" The second cannon sounded, and the sound was louder and stronger than the first time, Chen Qiaochu listened to it in his ears, and his heart couldn't help but move.

This cannon is for me! Chen Qiaochu's heart suddenly became excited, she remembered the ambition and prospect in her chest, she got up and walked out of the room, came to the bank of Yunmengze, looked at the boundless lake in the north, and muttered:

"After today, the Jiangyue Gang is about to develop in Jingzhou in the north, but unfortunately, there is a heavy fog, and I can't see anything clearly." She is no longer worried about Jiang Xiaoshu in her heart for the time being, there has been news from Changsha, there is no movement in the capital, and the Jiang Yue Gang has taken control of the post station and guarded the main road in and out of Xiangzhou, she concluded that Jiang Xiaoshu will not be able to escape, and after the ceremony, he will be arrested obediently!

Three Puritanism. This word flashed in Chen Qiaochu's heart, and she remembered the unfathomable

"Father-in-law", her father-in-law told her never to become an enemy with Jiang Xiaoshu, but Jiang Xiaoshu repeatedly deceived her, she repeatedly retreated, but Jiang Xiaoshu still wanted to kill everything, how could she not be angry!

"Yes, I didn't listen to you, I declared war on him, and since that day, I have not been able to contact you, I know you are angry with me, but I don't care...... I am now strong and strong, even if I don't need the help of your Three Puritans, I can continue to grow...... Three Puritans, three Puritans, I don't want to be your slave again! "Bang...... Bang...... Bang...... ......Three cannon shots rang out, and fireworks rushed into the air with a whoosh, exploding at the highest point, blooming with dazzling brilliance, even in the daytime, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Qiaochu naturally saw it, she looked at the fireworks, and her heart followed the meteor straight into the sky, if power was poison, she would have been terminally ill by now.

Three cannon shots, it's time for me to show up. Chen Qiaochu's heart moved, and he turned around and walked towards Yueyang Tower, behind her, Wei Ye and Brother Dulong followed closely behind, and with dozens of black belt masters, they walked towards Yueyang Tower to participate in today's ceremony.

At this moment, a voice came:

"Newspaper - urgent report!" Chen Qiaochu heard that it was Chen Liujie, the godson who was a few years older than herself, and she frowned:

"Stop him, what's the matter, I'll talk about it after the ceremony.

"Godmother, godmother! You heard your son say that it's really a big deal, and it's a big deal.... After being stopped, Chen Liujie's voice still came, and he was very frightened. Chen Qiaochu took a deep breath, pushed aside the crowd, and came to Chen Liujie, who was supported by several gangsters, and said in a calm tone:

"You should know that the ceremony is about to start, that is, your father and mother were chopped up and fed to the dog, and you will hold it back for me, understand?"

"No, no, no! It's even scarier than that!" Chen Liujie struggled violently and got out of control, then hurriedly knelt down and threw himself at Chen Qiaochu's feet: "Godmother, just now, someone rushed up to Yueyang Tower and kicked over the offering table, and the spirit cards of the seven uncles were all burned for her!"

"What!" Chen Qiaochu's eyelids jumped:

"Who lives impatiently? How dare you be so provocative! ”

"He said that he is from the Heavenly Star Pavilion, and his surname is Liu Lingwei."
