Since Mo Chen first participated in the interception of the Black Snake Gang caravan in the east of the city, another half a month has passed in a hurry.

And with that incident as the beginning, the Golden Scales began a comprehensive crackdown on all the Black Snake Gang's various businesses outside the city. The action was so big and the intensity was so strong that in just half a month, all the business dealings between the Black Snake Gang and outside the county seat, including the foundation of the Water Gang: the shipping and parallel goods on the turbulent river outside the city were also cut off one by one. Moreover, even the basic territory of the Black Snake Gang in the city in the north of the city began to be gradually eroded by the Golden Scale Gang. It can be said that one of the two legs of the Black Snake Gang has been cut off, and the situation is precarious.

In fact, at the very beginning of this series of things, that is, when Mo Chen participated in the Liu Jiaji incident, the Black Snake Gang had already realized who was the master. After all, the location of the accident at that time was more than ten miles away from the city, and the convoy was also sitting in a master of the Tongmai realm, within a radius of dozens of miles in this county, it was capable of killing such a large caravan, along with the huge escort team of dozens of people, including the Tongmai realm masters, and the force that could not escape a single living person was only one of the Golden Scale Gang.

It's just that between the two gangs, the Black Snake Gang was originally in a weak position, and there was no evidence for this incident, and the Black Snake Gang was helpless. At this time, the Black Snake Gang had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, although this incident had lost a master of the Tongmai Realm, which could be said to be the biggest loss in the battle with the Golden Scale Gang in recent years, but the Black Snake Gang did not pay too much attention to it, and only thought that it was a retaliation for provoking people to go to the west of the city to make trouble last time, but they didn't know what the Golden Scale Gang wanted this time.

It's just that the vigilance has been strengthened, and the various caravans traveling to the city have been strengthened. However, the consequences of this decision were even more devastating, as the caravans out of the city were destroyed one after another in a short time, and all the goods were looted, leaving only the corpses at the site of the incident.

Things have developed to this point, and the Black Snake Gang realized the seriousness of the situation, so they immediately organized manpower, planning to launch a counterattack, and show the Golden Scale Gang that they are not easy to provoke, so as to force peace with the Golden Scale Gang and force the Golden Scale Gang and themselves to return to the previous stable confrontation situation. The Black Snake Gang mobilized a large number of people to ambush and tried to fight back, but the result of this counterattack was that the Black Snake Gang almost lost its troops and collapsed.

The reason is very simple, the two gangs have been fighting each other for many years, and the Black Snake Gang had moles in the Golden Scale Gang before. Didn't the Golden Scales Gang install an internal response in the Black Snake Gang? When the internal response revealed the news, the Golden Scales Gang instead ambushed the Black Snake Gang's large group of men and horses that were lying in ambush on the side.

So after losing three more masters of the Tongmai Realm, the heartbroken Black Snake Gang finally realized that the other party not only had an internal response in their own gang, but also this internal response was absolutely high and powerful, and some people even suggested that this person might be one of the six elders who were only under the gang leader. But this kind of suspicion made everyone dare not think about it in their hearts, because if there was really an elder betrayal, the situation at this time would be a desperate situation, and he and the others would say that there was no way to face the blow of the Golden Scale Gang.

Because the internal composition of the Black Snake Gang and the Golden Scale Gang is not the same. The reason why the Black Snake Gang was able to be established at the beginning was because the local gang forces in the original major cities at that time were not opponents when they faced the Golden Scale Gang alone, which had begun to grow bigger. Feeling overwhelmed, several local gangs, under pressure from the Golden Scale Gang created by outsiders, banded together to form the Black Snake Gang. And the highest decision-making level of this gang: the gang leader and all the elders, each of them is the head of the original force, and after forming the Black Snake Gang, although they are united in the face of the Golden Scale Gang, they usually control their original forces in their hands.

Originally, when the Black Snake Gang was first established, it was indeed the head of the Golden Scale Gang at that time. But in terms of masters, the Black Snake Gang's most powerful gang leader and six elders combined, they will also be pressed back by the gang leader and the four hall masters of the Golden Scale Gang. It's just that the Golden Scale Gang was established by outsiders after all, and it has no foundation in the local area, and the low-level forces are very weak, so they were crushed by the Black Snake Gang, which suddenly swelled. But with so many years of development, the Golden Scale Gang has made up for its shortcomings and surpassed the Black Snake Gang in an all-round way.

At this time, all the forces in the Black Snake Gang were not the opponents of the Golden Scale Gang, and it was evident that they were suppressed so badly by the Golden Scale Gang at this moment. And if you still point the finger of suspicion at a certain elder at this time, it means that you will cut off your own arm. Moreover, if we want to investigate the elders, what methods should be used and how should we investigate? Arrange a counterattack and exclude one or several elders to try it? In such a situation, if you do not have the support of all the elders' forces to launch an action, it will not be a counterattack, but a delivery of food!

What's more, in this operation, everyone sent people to participate. Everyone's losses are similar, and on the surface of this situation it seems that no one has benefited, and it should not be the work of the elders. So when this kind of skeptical argument just emerged, it was tacitly pinched off by everyone at the same time.

As a result, after several fruitless discussions at the decision-making level, everyone had no choice but to decide: the strong man broke his wrist, stopped all the business with the outside world, and completely shrunk his power in the north of the city. This is also a helpless move in the current situation, in this way, although the losses are heavy, but the Golden Scale Gang is helpless against themselves, and finally keeps the last bit of foundation, as for what to do in the future, I can't think about it so much now. For the safety in the city, the Black Snake Gang is very assured.

In the city, there is still the Imperial Court's Supervision Agency, the Arrest Division, which is in charge, and it is because of the deterrence of the Arrest Division that the Golden Scale Gang has eroded into the north of the city is also in the name of doing business, spending money to buy various shops and send people to station, instead of directly cutting and rushing, and eliminating all the people and horses on the original territory of the Black Snake Gang.

But the Golden Scale Gang can only do this step in the north of the city, and in the face of most of the remaining shops in the hands of the Black Snake Gang, the Golden Scale Gang has no choice. At most, there will be some small fights, just like the last time the Black Snake Gang instigated others to go to the west of the city to make trouble. The city must not be in chaos because of gang fighting, this is an iron rule, if you dare to violate it, the arrest department will definitely not mind letting people see how the violent organs of the imperial court suppress lawlessness.

It was nearly noon on this day, and inside the north city gate, a bustling crowd of people was walking out of the city, most of them wearing gray cloth clothes, carrying various tools such as flat poles or wheelbarrows on their shoulders. These people who went out were ordinary farmers in the countryside outside the city, and early in the morning, they pushed all kinds of fruits and vegetables they grew into the city to sell, and at this time they were rushing back after selling out of goods.

Of course, there are also some people who carry flat poles or carts that obviously have a lot of goods on them that have not been sold, but they have to walk out of the city at this moment. For these men had come from far away, and if they had not gone out of the city at this time, they would not have been able to return home before dusk. Although a market is formed between several villages outside the city, it is not possible to sell these agricultural products that most people grow at home for a lot of money. Therefore, these people traveled all the way to the county seat, set off before the day was completely dawn, and rushed back at noon against the sun, just to sell the goods in their hands at a good price.

At this time, among the people out of the city, Mo Chen's five people were scattering separately and walking outside the city with the flow of people. The five of them were still wearing ordinary gray cloth clothes, and they were inconspicuous in the crowd. After leaving the city gate, several people still dispersed and continued to walk out along the main road without stopping.
