Chapter 80: Night Walking
Follow Wutongli all the way to the west.
After walking through countless streets and alleys, a very wide moat appeared in front of you, which was usually large enough for large ships to pass, but now the whole river was frozen tightly.
This is also the dividing line between the west and south of Yucheng, across this river, opposite is the west of Yucheng, which is under the jurisdiction of the General Department of Urban Health in District XC, and as far as Chen Mu knows, the chief secretary in the west is surnamed He.
At the beginning, the Wicked Gang tried to reach out and cross the line and go to Nancheng District to reap the benefits, but after provoking Xu Hongyu, the reason why they were able to finally retreat is needless to say, and there is obviously the interference of another chief messenger in the west.
Otherwise, although the Wicked Gang's power is not small, Xu Hongyu is not a general secretary who can't deal with it, and even the other party dares to jump under his nose and try to retaliate from time to time.
In the case that he can't mobilize manpower, can't cross the border to crusade casually, and even the city guard general on the opposite side will interfere with it, Xu Hongyu really has nothing to do with the Wicked Gang, unless he comes to the door with a sword to cut people, but the Wicked Gang's is the same as a force with Yi Jin masters.
At night.
The snow all over the city reflected the dim moonlight.
A figure in a black cloak crept up to the bank of the moat, and then floated over and landed on the opposite bank.
Since he was promoted to the post of errand, Chen Mu has rarely been active at night, after all, the dignified errand secretary is also a figure with status, with hundreds of people under his command, if there is anything that needs to be investigated, just let his subordinates go.
As for what kills people and sells goods, it is not quite in line with the identity and decency of the errand...... Of course, the most important thing is that there is no shortage of money for the time being.
"Gang of the Wicked ......"
Chen Mu gently went ashore and walked into the streets and alleys, his eyes skimming into the distance.
This is the first time he has come to the west of the city, after all, Yu City is very large, and some people may live all their lives without going around the whole city.
According to his judgment, even if the Wicked Gang is not a force cultivated by the He family, it is also a vicious dog that has taken refuge in the He family outside, so it will be difficult and useless to investigate and deal with it through the open identity of the City Guard.
But this is not a problem for Chen Mu.
It's nothing more than using another identity to solve the problem.
"The Gang of the Wicked is still different from the Black Crow Sect, although the power is also spread across many 'li' in the west, but the position of the General Gang is very clear and clear, and it is on the bright side."
Chen Mu walked forward calmly, seemingly slowly, but in fact, every step fell, and the whole person quickly swept through the streets and alleys like an afterimage.
He is not familiar with the Gang of the Wicked, and he has no more information, and even Chengxi is the first time to come, but these are not critical, just make a few more trips, it is nothing more than the main one he wants to arrest, that is, Zhang He, the leader of the Gang of the Wicked.
Zhang He.
It is rumored that it was a low-level little person who started as a low-level person, struggling to survive in the most remote and chaotic marginal area in the west of the city, mixing gangs, learning knife skills, and quickly becoming successful, and being more ruthless, quickly gaining a firm foothold, and then tossing and turning between various gangs, and got the opportunity to practice the quenching method, step by step from the small boss to the big boss, and finally set up his own villain gang and became the gang leader.
Later, by coincidence, I don't know where to get the Yi Jin Pill, at the age of nearly thirty, I was able to leap into the realm of Yi Jin, and since then, the Wicked Gang has not only quickly gained a foothold, but also become a force entrenched in several places in just over a dozen years, ruling over thousands of people.
These are all things that Chen Mu has learned.
Zhang He himself can also be called a legendary figure in the eyes of many civilians in the west of the city, after all, there are not many people who can rise all the way from small people, but the Gang of Wicked not only does the skin business and opens gambling houses, but also secretly cheats and abducts all kinds of evil, so Zhang He is more notorious.
Although Chen Mu doesn't know much more specific information, it is indeed difficult to list the actions of the Wicked Gang, which raised prices, earned ill-gotten gains, and even expelled the victims at the time of the disaster.
A force of thousands of people, it is impossible to eradicate it at once, after all, it is more than a thousand pigs, and the city guard department can't catch them all in three days.
And in Chen Mu's opinion, there is no need for this, as long as Zhang He and some of the leaders of the Wicked Gang are solved, this kind of gang will soon fall apart and disappear into dust in a blink of an eye.
Gangs, even if they have been entrenched for more than ten years, have no so-called foundation.
"I hope I don't have to run in vain."
Chen Mu muttered.
He knew where the head of the Wicked Gang was, but Zhang He was not necessarily there, if he wasn't there, in order to avoid startling the snake, he would only come back tomorrow.
Although he doesn't mind running every night, he still solves it early and saves worry as soon as possible.
……
The headquarters of the Wicked Gang.
The entire residence is located in a back street that occupies a large area of bungalows around it, and hundreds of gangs live here on weekdays.
At this time, as far as the eye can see, the streets and alleys in the distance are basically pitch black, and the lights of each household have long been turned off and closed, but there are still a few candles faintly flickering in the headquarters of the Wicked Gang.
In a clean and well-lit courtyard located in the center of the station.
A dim candle flame shone in one room, and a few shadows were reflected through the window paper.
"Helper, the Liu and Wang families in the north have news today that they are also willing to cooperate with us."
Dressed in a gray cloth robe, the man sitting at the bottom of the seat spoke in a low voice.
"Well, count them up."
Sitting at the top was a middle-aged man about forty years old, but he was wearing a clean brocade robe, looking like a squire from a wealthy family, but there were few people in the west of the city who did not know his name.
It is the leader of the Wicked Gang, Zhang He, nicknamed 'Evil Knife'.
The few people next to him were all the deputy gang leaders of the Wicked Gang, and they all laughed and said at this time: "What reason do they have to refuse the business of making money together, is it for the sake of those Diao people, deliberately having money and not making money?" ”
"Speaking of which, I heard today that the new messenger in the Wutong Lane in the south beat all the six gangs of men and horses over there, and extorted a lot of silver taels, but he actually took the silver to build a tent for the group of victims, and burned wood and soup porridge. Sun Jiuli shook his head as he spoke.
"It's really a sin to take the silver of the white flowers to give alms, Lao Tzu is still short of silver, why don't you give Lao Tzu a little."
Wei Sihai sighed, picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.
Sun Jiuli said with a smile: "After all, he is the errand in Wutong, and he has to do something, even if it is just for face, but it is just right to save those disaster victims, and our disaster victims have also rushed over, let him save them all, it is useless for these people in the province to stay, and they have to get in the way if they die." ”
"You two don't underestimate the new messenger in the sycamore, I heard that there was a lot of trouble today, Sha Xiangtian of the quicksand gang asked him to cut it with one knife, Sha Xiangtian, you know Sha Xiangtian, I am afraid that the skills of a few of us are not much better than him." Liu Lanshan said in a deep voice.
When Sun Jiuli heard this, his expression became more solemn, and he said: "Well, this person doesn't say anything else, his kung fu is indeed good, it is said that he has mastered more than one kind of knife posture, and he has also practiced a body of copper skin and steel meat, a golden body, and the general meat training martial artist basically only has defeat in front of him." ”
"And I remember that earlier, the gang seems to have done a hand on this person, it was the person you assigned, Lao Wei, right?"
Sun Jiuli's voice fell, and several people in the room looked at Wei Sihai.
Wei Sihai showed a hint of helplessness on his face, and said: "At that time, I heard the news from the outside, saying that this person was a talent that Xu Hongyu wanted to cultivate, and wanted to add to Xu Hongyu's girls, so he asked people to try it, but I don't know who spread the news blindly, this person not only practiced the knife posture, but also had already grinded his skin at that time, and he was in the realm of Jiutiao, but not only did it not work, but also caused trouble." ”
As he spoke, Wei Sihai shook his head.
If he had known, he might have sent some more men, let a few of his capable men go over, or make a trip himself.
But then again, Jiujo Li is too deep in Nancheng District, and he is not familiar with the place, and if he does it to a bad man over there, even if he can kill it, it will be difficult to get out afterwards.
This is also the reason why the people he sent at that time were just a group of ordinary villains in the gang, anyway, in the news I heard, Chen Mu was just a small person who had just revealed some talents.
Who ever thought.
It's only been a year or two, and Chen Mu has become the messenger in Wutongli, and he is in charge of a domain on the other side of the river.
Even this person is terrible, he can destroy the Zheng family and kill Sha Xiangtian...... If he had known that it would be such a tricky character, he would have either not done it at that time, or he would have taken the risk of going there himself and strangling it in advance.
"It's all in the past, and it's still a thing of the past."
Zhang He had been sitting on the top and watching several subordinates talk, and finally said lightly at this time: "He is Xu Hongyu's person, and he is not offended, it is not on the same road, but at that time, Sihai did not go to it in person, and he really missed the opportunity." ”
"That's what the helper said."
Liu Lanshan echoed and said: "This person is not the same as me, and there is nothing to hold a grudge or not, he is a messenger in the south, and he dares to come to the west, let alone him, even Xu Hongyu's hand can't reach out to us." ”
Wei Sihai grinned and said: "Anyway, Lao Tzu won't go to the south, no matter how much he cares, speaking of which, he still has to send us silver this time, he wants to build a tent to save those disaster victims, but he can't get around the firewood, it's really not good, Lao Tzu can give him a discount." ”
Speaking of this, several people in the room couldn't help but laugh.
In previous years, there was no such money to be made, but this year not only the wind and snow are big, but also the cold winter is longer, to see the momentum at least a month, every household's firewood is not enough, in the name of the Wicked Gang, several companies to control the firewood of several jurisdictional firewood, and now there are a lot of accounts every day, which is another money-making business.
Just as a few people in the room were talking and laughing.
A cold wind suddenly blew in along the crack in the window, and the flickering candle on the table was silently extinguished, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.
