Chapter 191: Parting Ways

The square is capricious, and the appearance of the front and back makes the people around him very disdainful. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Ao couldn't help but think of the text "Chameleon" he had learned back then, and thought to himself, this flat catcher is simply more fickle than a chameleon.

His satisfaction with his novice suddenly dropped to the lowest point. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, could it be that I was not suitable to be a leader? How could I meet such a subordinate no matter where I went!

Ping Sifang only had gold leaves in his eyes, and he was afraid that others would covet him, so he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and carry the body away, let's go back to the yamen and investigate slowly!"

The crowd quickly endured the nausea, wrapped the corpse tightly with the quilt, and went out with it. Ping Sifang walked at the end, arched his hand to Su Zhuo and the others, and said with a smile: "A few good people to go, we will have a period later!"

No one paid attention to him, and he didn't care, and left in a huff. This trip was really an unexpected joy for him, just that gold leaf was enough for him to knock on the bamboo pole for a few years. As for the corpse and the so-called homicide case, it has long been irrelevant. Anyway, these gangsters, one more and one less, it's not a big deal.

After sending away the catcher, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was a lot of discussion in the courtyard again, but this time the topic of discussion shifted from the original murder case to Su Zhuo and others, who were bold and hidden.

Chen Ao was a little embarrassed, because his subordinates had let Wei Xiu spend such a large amount of money, who could not feel distressed! Besides, if it weren't for Wei Xiu's help, they might really be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Chen Ao saluted Wei Xiu and smiled awkwardly: "Mrs. Su...... I'm ashamed......"

Who knew that Wei Xiu suddenly flashed to the side and said coldly: "Excuse me, I can't afford the great gift of the court officials!"

Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the reason why Su Zhuo and Wei Xiu returned to the mountains and forests was precisely because of the contradiction with the imperial court. Looking at Su Zhuo's appearance, he didn't seem to care much about this matter. But Wei Xiu obviously has the characteristics that all women have - cautious eyes, and he is obsessed with the fact that Chen Ao is a county official.

He glanced at Su Zhuo, who showed an expression of helplessness. Wei Xiu suddenly became very disgusted with Chen Ao, and didn't want to look at it again, so he said to Su Zhuo: "Our whereabouts have been exposed, and this place is not suitable for a long time!" After speaking, he suddenly took Su Fan's hand, turned around and left, thinking that he would go back to the room to pack his luggage.

Su Fan stuck out his tongue at Chen Ao, obviously not daring to disobey his mother's words, helpless. And Hua Niansu and Ling Hanyu also knew that the matter was not small, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time, and wanted to leave.

Chen Ao sighed, he originally planned to rely on the mountain of Su Zhuo and go to Duan Wuji's father and son to take revenge, maybe it would be much easier. Now it seems that this plan is about to be ruined again. Wei Xiu obviously wouldn't trust himself easily, and Su Zhuo would obviously respect Wei Xiu's opinion. Every good man will respect his wife's opinion, there is no doubt about it.

Su Zhuo patted Chen Ao on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, if there is fate, we will always meet." ”

Chen Ao thought to himself, does every martial arts character have to say such things when they are separated? He thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Mr. Su, it is a pity that you have to separate before you hear your teachings!"

Su Zhuo smiled and said, "Don't say these things against your will." Say, do you want me to help?"

Chen Ao felt embarrassed to see through the trick, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Su is really as wise as a torch...... Actually, I have more than one request......"

Su Zhuo was very interested in this young man, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about them one by one!"

Chen Ao grinned and said, "The first thing is about the Salt Gang. Mr. Su, you also know that I am going to Haixian to take up a post, but I don't know anything about this local snake. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to take office like this?"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you are not stupid." Well, I'll tell you what I know......"

Su Zhuo spoke quietly, and Chen Ao remembered it attentively. It turns out that the Salt Gang has been around for a long time, and it is made up of smuggler salt dealers. During the Tang Dynasty, many sea salt farms were built near the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which were controlled by the imperial court. Later, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was turmoil, and the salt works were not managed by the imperial army, and they were slowly controlled by local separatist forces and gangs to earn personal gains.

By the time of this dynasty, the imperial court wanted to take back control of these salt farms, and naturally moved the interests of these local snakes. So several large gangs joined together to form the Salt Gang, with the most respected people in these gangs serving as the chief helmsman and commanding the entire Salt Gang.

These gangs are the Haichao Gang in Huaidi, the Baisha Gang in Jiangbei, the Dishamen in Haixian County, and the Jianghai Gang in eastern Zhejiang. Because Haixian County is located in the center of the area, connecting Suhuai in the north and Zhejiang and Fujian in the south, the helm of the salt gang is located in Haixian.

Many years ago, the Salt Gang was controlled by the Four Seas Alliance. Later, the Four Seas Alliance disintegrated, and the Salt Gang also took advantage of the situation to become independent and became a powerful party, even the imperial court did not dare to move these people easily. And some time ago, the helmsman of the Salt Gang, the original head of the Jianghai faction, suddenly died, leaving the dragons leaderless. The four gangs, each of whom wanted to sit in the top spot, caused this dispute.

Most of these people who came in a hurry to join in the excitement wanted to participate in the dispute between the four factions. wants to support a certain faction in exchange for benefits.

Chen Ao understood the whole situation, and he had a bottom in his heart, but at the same time, he also felt uneasy. I couldn't imagine that such a thrilling event would happen in my own land. This is the magic capital of more than a thousand years ago, how can it withstand such a scourge?

Chen Ao thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Mr. Su, you are a good person to the end, and you will do me a small favor." ”

Su Zhuo said lightly: "You say." ”

Chen Ao Zhengse said: "I have a friend named Xuanning, who is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. She unfortunately fell off a cliff and may have been swept away by the river. If Mr. Su has a way, can you please help me find it? ”

Su Zhuo was stunned, he didn't expect him to propose such a thing. Seeing Chen Ao's serious expression, Su Zhuo was able to guess Xuanning's position in his mind. So Su Zhuo nodded and said, "I won't leave this neighborhood in the near future, and I will also check the identity of the deceased on the ground and the mysterious murderer, and I just happen to help you find someone!"

Chen Ao was surprised and delighted, and said, "That's great!"

He suddenly had a settlement in his heart, with such a strong helper as Su Zhuo, he would definitely be able to find Xuanning's whereabouts!

Seeing that Wei Xiu had already packed his bags, he stood at the door and waited. Su Zhuo patted Chen Ao on the shoulder, didn't say goodbye, and hurriedly chased him out.

Long Qingping seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to chase after her.

Chen Ao said, "Aren't you going to take Mr. Su back? Why don't you chase him?"

Long Qingping seemed to have made up her mind, shook her head, and said, "I'll follow you! You don't know martial arts, and you've suffered internal injuries, without me as your bodyguard, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even a day!"

Chen Ao was suddenly a little moved. Long Qingping said again: "Anyway, Mr. Su also said that he will not leave here for the time being." Haixian is so big, you will always find it again!"

Chen Ao nodded and said, "That's right, we'll definitely meet him!"
