Chapter 67: The Destruction of the Barbarian Bull State

Just when the development of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in Xiangyang was in full swing and smooth sailing, Sima Manniu, the boss of the black state who made a fortune in Xiangyang City, and was known as the Bull Demon King, felt uncomfortable. Zhao Chongyang took Wantong Commercial Bank to settle in Nanyang in a high-profile manner, and gave good gifts to the prefect, Tongzhi, the chief of soldiers and horses, and the capital supervisor, but he didn't pay attention to him, the underground boss, and he has been here for half a month, and there is no greeting, which is too unpopular.

In fact, it's not that Zhao Chongyang doesn't know the existence of this group of people, but he feels that there is no need for this group of people to make friends. One is that they have no bottom line in life, no matter how lonely, poor, or strong, as long as they beg for food in Xiangyang City, even if the beggar wants three copper plates, he has to divide two. Forcing good people into prostitution, kidnapping and extortion, doing everything. Even the four major merchants in Xiangyang have to send him some benefits on time every month. Otherwise, he will order his subordinates to bring the city's Hanako and gangsters to your shop and sit up and make trouble, so that you will not be able to do business. If you send someone to drive you away, they will touch porcelain for you, saying that you have sent your subordinates to beat people and knock them down, and then your lawyer will write a paper and sue you to the government, and he will have time to grind for you and pull you off, and you have no time to do business, and you will be closed for three or five days, you might as well give him some money, just want to do business smoothly, and all losses will rise. Several wealthy families didn't have time to give them a, not to mention ordinary businessmen, spending money to eliminate disasters fueled his arrogance. Although several major merchants have already had the heart to get rid of him, they have also spent money to invite masters to solve, or challenge or assassinate, because of his own high ability and invincible bravery, none of the masters invited are his opponents......

The day after Zhao Chongyang and the others entered here, the Long family, as the first partner of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in Huainan, explained the situation of this wild bull to him. On the third and fourth days, Zhao Chongyang sent people to secretly investigate, and on the fifth day, he wrote a letter and sent people back to Nanyang, and a few days ago, Pang Wanchun and Shi Qian took 50 elites of the special operations battalion to live in Nanyang City.

On this morning, Sima Manniu swaggered out of the city with ten of his subordinates, seeing that they were a few hundred meters away from arriving at Zhao Chongyang's residence, the Long family's compound. A fast horse chased after him from behind and reported to him: "Lord, Datuan Tou Kang Mazi, I was drunk last night, and I fell down the corridor when I went upstairs to sleep, and I couldn't breathe out of my head and suffocated to death, Second Master Ma asked you to go back and deal with his funeral." ”

So, Sima Manniu led the people back again. After walking 100 meters, another subordinate rode a horse and reported: "Master Xing went to bed last night and didn't get up for a long time in the morning, his daughter went to ask him to eat, and found that he had been dead in bed for a long time, and his daughter also found Ma Er Ye here." Connected to the death of the two cadres under him, he knew that this was not a coincidence, but a premeditated assassination, and said in his heart: "I was just about to go to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce to ask for the guilt, these two subordinates were assassinated last night, so will they hide in the shadows and release cold arrows to me?" Of course, with my golden bell jar to practice kung fu, unless I use a divine arm bow that can hurt people five hundred steps away, ordinary bows and arrows will make me stumble at most. Thinking of this, he looked up, and suddenly saw a flash of fire in a window a hundred and fifteen paces away, and then he heard the sound of a cannon staff, and a black shadow came rapidly towards him. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but there was a sharp pain in his eyebrows, and a cloud of blood blinded his eyes, causing him to fall to the ground in an instant.

The henchmen around him thought that he had touched something under his feet and tripped down, and just wanted to help him up. Thirty meters away, in an abandoned house, dozens of masked people suddenly rushed out, raising their crossbows in their hands, and it was a rain of arrows. In less than a minute, the twelve henchmen who surrounded Sima Manniu also followed in his footsteps and went to another world to report......

At the same time, at the headquarters of Sima Manniu and Gou Niu Bang in Xiangyang City, Ma Erye and Gou Sanye were discussing how to deal with the aftermath of Master Xing and Kang Mazi, and a little beggar ran to Ma Erye and Gou Sanye and said: "Kang Tuantou Kangye's eldest wife and little wife are fighting for property, and now the housekeeper asks the second master and the third master to help divide the property with them, so as not to make the family uneasy by them." The two glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, followed the beggar to Kang Mazi's house, passed a small alley, the beggar saw that there was no one left and right, coughed twice, and rushed out of a broken room Two people with crossbows, facing Ma Er and Gou San is two arrows, the arrow pierced the throat, the two immediately fell to the ground and died, the three were not in a hurry, pulled out the arrow on the two and walked away......

At noon, a piece of news spread throughout the city: the Bull Demon King Sima Manniu's original name was Hao Manniu, known as Black Manniu by the people of the rivers and lakes, and he was a disciple of a certain Jianghu sect. Five years ago, the sect relaxed its pursuit of him and fled to Xiangyang to settle down. Recently, the disciples of the gang passed by here, so the head of the sect came to clean up the portal with the good hands of the state, and by the way, he dealt with all the generals under him......

For the destruction of the Barbarian Bull State, the people of the whole city, including the four major merchants, all raised their glasses to celebrate.

After the matter of Manniubang was resolved, Zhao Chongyang and the others also planned to pack up and return to Nanyang. In the afternoon of this day, Yuan Lang, who sent the last batch of goods back, brought back a piece of news that in the place of more than 80 miles west of Nanyang, there is a Huangnigang, and there is a large courtyard called Duanjiazhuang on the Huangnigang. Duan Taigong, the owner of Duanjiazhuang, raised three sons and one daughter. The sons are Duan Da, Duan Er, and Duan Wu. Daughter Duan Sanniang is sixteen years old, has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and is strong in martial arts, and now she has a ring at home, all young heroes with high martial arts, handsome and dashing, can go to fight, as long as she wins Duan Sanniang, she will recruit him as her son-in-law.
