Chapter 706: Jing Chu's Past (2nd Update)
Nanyang Restaurant has been established for hundreds of years, although it has changed hands several times and renovated several times, but it has always been standing, which does not know how many major events have happened, enough to go down in history.
It is said that after Zhuge Wanling resigned and returned to his hometown, it was here that he got acquainted with the old gang leader of the Jingchu Gang, and was invited to join this Jianghu gang that was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the scholars.
Many people think that he is willing to degenerate, and some people even ridicule him for not letting go of the golden house, and would rather jump into the muddy pond to be a loach in the mud.
Regarding these rumors, Zhuge Wanling just laughed at them, never refuted them, and wholeheartedly gave advice to the Jing Chu Gang.
Under his wisdom, it only took a few years for the Jingchu Gang to become one of the largest gangs in Wu at that time, with business all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the trade routes even led to the Mojia in the north, becoming a behemoth that could not be ignored.
At this time, the old gang leader of the Jingchu Gang died of illness and passed the position of the gang leader to Zhuge Wanling.
It was also from that day that Zhuge Wanling really came to the front of the stage with a new attitude, and began a life that made all Nanyang people sigh.
After that, he went from a person from the rivers and lakes to the court again, and even became one of the most powerful people in the world, like a loach out of the mud and turned into a dragon, how can it not make people yearn for it?
Many outsiders made a special trip to Nanyang Restaurant, just to see with their own eyes the position where Zhuge Wanling and the old gang leader had sitting, so as to guess what kind of grand ambitions these two people had hidden in their hearts when they faced the surging river.
In comparison, today's dispute between the Luo family and the old boat gang is much inferior, but this is also a major event that is enough to change the pattern of Nanyang County, so the masters of both sides have poured out, and the number of small grandmaster masters alone has reached as many as seven.
Qin Ke still sighed slightly: "Now this piece of rivers and lakes is really withering terribly, I heard that there were nearly 100 small grandmasters and masters in the Jingchu Gang at the beginning, and now even the big gang in Jianye only has a few small grandmasters." ”
"Yes, although the Kingdom of Wu was divided and chaotic at the beginning, because of this, a group of heroes rose together, and masters in the rivers and lakes emerged in an endless stream. In the past few days, Luo Hong thought that he was very close to Qin Ke, so he talked eloquently: "Back then, the prime minister's edict suppressed all the gangs in Jingwu's rivers and lakes, and most of the cultivation masters were used by the imperial court, so this rivers and lakes are naturally not as interesting as before." ”
Although Luo Hong is ambitious and talented, his knowledge is still good, and he has always been haunted by Luo Fengyan's failure to marry Zhuge Wolong, so he also knows a lot about Zhuge Wanling's career.
Now that I think about it, if the Luo family really became relatives with the Zhuge family at the beginning, and now the Luo family is not one of the most noble family valves in Jingwu, where will they still live in a corner and can only cling to nobles in order to become a court?
Qin Ke didn't know what Luo Hong was thinking, even if he knew, it was probably impossible to say that in fact, your sister was still alive, and she had even become one of the strongest people in the world.
After all, he still wants to live a few more years......
So he just smiled, and at the same time, he looked at the people of the old boat gang opposite, but he was met by the fat man's vicious gaze.
"What am I talking about? This kid has something to do with the Luo family, and what else is the Luo family has a master, and now his tail is exposed, right?"
"Fatty, shut up. Kuang Tie, who was sitting in front of him, frowned and let out a low shout, "If you say more, I'll let you go back to your old job." ”
The fat man was silent, so he had to shrink his head, looking a little depressed.
Meng Ya was a little curious, and said in a low voice: "What is your old business? Why haven't I heard you say it?"
The fat man replied with a loud voice: "Anyway, it's not a good thing, it's just digging some people's ancestral graves and touching some good things from them for money......"
"So you ......"
"It's your business! If Lao Tzu had a father who was born as a general, he might be a general now......"
"I don't know what the Dragon Gang Leader and the Luo Family Master think?" At this time, Master Gong finally finished speaking, and glanced at the fat man's side with an unkind gaze, obviously very dissatisfied with their unruly noise, but when the old boat gang leader Long Jin spoke, he didn't bother to care about it anymore.
Long Jin is fifty and six this year, his body is still as strong as an ox, his face is full of wind and frost with a pair of eagle eyes, his eyebrows are long and dense, and he is not angry and arrogant when he is raised, and because he has done things in the Jingchu Gang back then, his background is also a little awe-inspiring.
Although now that the Jingchu Gang has been dismantled and completely integrated into the temple, who knows, Zhuge Wanling will not suddenly think of these old subordinates in the people?
When he spoke slowly, his voice was like a dull dark cloud, revealing thunder: "Lord Gong said this, it seems that he has forgotten all the dedication of my old ship gang in the past. But my old boat gang has made so many contributions to Caoyun, whether it is dredging the canal or opening up trade routes, it can be regarded as a lot of dedication, and the amount of money handed over every year is only a lot more than last year, Lord Gong said today that he wants to give the Luo family a chance, I want to know, why do I want to give this opportunity?"
Of course, Master Gong didn't expect Long Jin to be so faceless, and he was a little silent for a while when he came up to be pushed there by this sentence.
Luo Hong didn't have Lord Gong's city government, so when he heard it, he was dissatisfied: "Why do you old boat gang say whatever you say? ”
"Fart!" The grumpy fat man couldn't hold back and scolded: "We have spent so much effort, and even dredged the canal by ourselves, and some brothers even died of exhaustion under the water, you want us to back down with empty white teeth, and you don't pee and look in the mirror by yourself, a stupid pig is also worthy!"
"You...... Bastard!" Luo Hong was furious, and naturally scolded the fat man, but it was a pity that he was a scholar who had learned so many dirty words in the market, and he was not as experienced as the fat man in scolding, and he could never scold others.
Seeing this, Qin Ke quietly raised his hand and pressed the sword back into the scabbard, as if relieved, "The head of the family, you are from a scholarly family, you don't need to be such a vulgar person. ”
Anyway, you can't beat him, what's the use of drawing a sword? This is the truth he didn't say, but I don't know if Luo Hong himself has this self-knowledge.
In this process, Long Jin never spoke, but let Lord Gong's face get worse and worse in the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Lord Gong, you have also seen it, even if I agree, my people will not agree, and the people of the Old Boat Gang are all over Nanyang, and it is even more impossible for them to give up their livelihoods for many years." ”
Lord Gong is a deep city government, not only restrained the gloomy face on his face, but even smiled and said: "This is natural, but this official is also burdened with a heavy responsibility, this matter must be done, even if this official can't do it, there will be other people in the future, although the dragon gang leader is strong, I'm afraid he may not be able to resist all the time, right?"
"You are the head snake, but behind me is a strong dragon, if you really fight, the head snake may be able to win once, but it will not please after all. This is Lord Gong's greatest confidence, and he believes that Long Jin can also see it clearly, otherwise he would not have been invited here to discuss today. ”
"It's just a competition, if the Old Boat Gang can really prove themselves, I think those adults will no longer have doubts about the ability of the Dragon Gang Master. Master Gong said earnestly, "Otherwise, those adults will not be willing after all." ”
