Chapter Eighty-Three: Expanding Territory

On the official road on the bank of the Songjiang River, an ox cart slowly walked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The bullock cart is a large carriage, plainly decorated, but very comfortably furnished, walking without bumpy, and can fall asleep at any time.

Su Musha fell asleep in the car, pillowed on the little sister's lap, and put her legs on Shuyu's legs.

Ye Qiudi lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside the car.

The official road on the bank of the Wusong River has never been barren, there are many merchants coming and going, the woods along the road are luxuriant, and occasionally the bell sound comes from the hilltop temple in the distance.

Su Mu slept very hard, Ye Qiudi smoothed the corners of his frowning brows, he was really tired these days.

On Dragon King Island, after the legs of the Water Dragon King were destroyed, Su Musha did not kill them all, but handed over the abolished Water Dragon King to the Green Gang.

But it was not Su Mushao's idea to unify the Qing Gang, so he took advantage of the vitality of the Qing Gang, and when the Tsing Yi Gate was powerful, Su Mu Sha supported a new master in the Tsing Yi Gate.

The surname of this door master is Huang. He took the initiative to take refuge in Su Musha, and even offered two great gifts.

The first is the fish knife, the sacred relic of the Green Gang, the two short knives that Fan Wen held when he founded the Green Gang, and the second is the letterhead of Bai Anli, the governor of Jingzhou, and the Water Dragon King.

Su Mushu accepted it all, and after seeing those letterheads, he remained silent, and with the help of Master Huang, he took the opportunity to eradicate all the hardcore supporters of the Water Dragon King in the Tsing Yi Gate.

For a while, the blood flowed like a river.

Although Sister Shui Linglong had objections, she was helpless, especially when the Dragon King Seal was lost.

Yes, the Dragon King Seal was lost, and when the Water Dragon King attacked the Dragon Top, Shui Linglong arranged for his trusted subordinates to take the Dragon King Seal down the mountain from the secret passage to the water lead.

But when the man got out of the secret passage, he disappeared.

Without the Dragon King Seal, the Qinggang forces are only as strong as the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to command the heroes of the five lakes and three rivers.

After everything was settled, Su Musha still did not give up and proposed a cooperation, which was about salt transportation.

When Southern Chu was first built, under the pressure of the family and Qi Jilun, the Chu State abolished the salt and iron official camp, so that Qi Jilun and others made a lot of money, but the temple was poor and white.

And Jiang Zuoqi's private salt was all sold by the Qing Gang's position in the Yangtze River.

The purpose of this Su Mu to cover the Dragon King Island is to solve the problem of the Water Dragon King's henchman at the same time, but also to solve this matter.

Su Musha bluntly told the Qing Gang and Tsing Yi Men that the salt and iron official camp was inevitable.

Because of the strong enemy, the king is short of money, and the state of Chu is waiting to be prosperous, Tian Fu does not dare to mention it and can't mention it, so he only has the idea of moving salt and iron.

This is something that all the Maisons can't stop and have to agree to.

After the salt is transported and sold in the official camp, if the Qinggang and Tsing Yimen want to eat this piece of meat, they can only sell smuggled salt.

When Su Musha said this, the remaining elders of the Green Gang hurriedly said that they didn't dare.

Su Musha abolished the Water Dragon King with a gesture, washed the Tsing Yi Gate in blood, and supported the new door master, which had already let them see the means of this Shuobei King.

Su Musha smiled at the time and pointed out another way for them, that is, the imperial court set up the left and right salt transportation divisions, Tsing Yi Gate, and the Qing Gang were affiliated with the salt transportation division, each responsible for a salt transportation division.

Although it is not as profitable as it is now, the small profits are enough to earn a considerable amount of hard-earned money for the people who are suffering on the river under the Green Gang.

If it is done well, in the future, when the imperial court transports grain and freight, it will also be handed over to the Qingbang and Tsing Yi Gate.

The master of the Yellow Gate of Tsing Yi just followed Su Musha, and naturally all agreed.

Although the Qing Gang was worried that this would make the Qing Gang lose its status in the rivers and lakes, the cooperation proposed by Su Musha was indeed tempting.

At this time, the news of Qi Jilun, the marquis of Wu County, and Qi Shiqiao's death came.

Although Su Musha denied it, the elders of the Green Gang still thought that this was Su Musha's determination and means to crack down on illegal salt, and immediately agreed.

After doing this, Su Musha led the people back to land.

They went ashore at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Shang Xiaolou was busy with the matter of salt introduction, so he took his leave after getting off the boat.

The so-called salt introduction is a certificate for businessmen to receive and sell salt in the salt transportation division, and Shang Xiaolou is also ready to intervene, in Su Mu's words, Shang Xiaolou is indispensable for making money.

As for Qi Jilun's death, Su Musha really didn't know.

However, not only the elders of the Green Gang thought that Su Mu was dry, but the temple family also thought that it had nothing to do with Su Mu.

Qi Jilun's death made these families feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, and they were afraid of offending Queen Shuobei, and they also died so unclearly, so they put pressure on the king in the court.

However, as soon as Lin Zhongzheng proposed it, he was refuted by the king.

The king's words were loud: "The king of Shuobei singled out the seven forces in Longding, and his life was almost lost, how can he have the energy to pay attention to Gusu City?"

Soon, the report of the county guard of Wu County also cleared up Su Musha's grievances.

The county guard detailed in the recital that Qi Jilun feasted the people of the rivers and lakes in the Xianchi Pavilion, and then there was a conflict over the goods, and the Taihu Lake bandits robbed the property and set fire to the Xianchi Pavilion.

The county guard emphasized one person, the sword of the light rain sword faction, saying that after the sword of the sword was killed by the Qi family that night, he hid in the waves of the five hundred miles of Taihu Lake.

At this time, everyone couldn't suspect Su Musha.

Su Musha once killed two disciples of Sword Zhizhi, which everyone in Jiankang knew.

So all the anger of the temple family was transferred to the Taihu Lake bandits, and they urged the king to eliminate the Taihu Lake bandits.

There are even those who take the initiative to ask for help, but everyone knows what these people have in mind.

The Qi family has been a salt merchant for generations, rich enough to rival the country, and there is a fairy treasure pavilion dedicated to placing treasures.

Qi Jilun and Qi Shiqiao both died, and the only descendant of the Qi family also died on the lion tower. The rest of the widows are not at the mercy of others, and when the time comes, the people sent by the king will be able to make a fortune.

The king also knew, so he overrode public opinion and sent Su Musha to Wu County to preside over the suppression of bandits.

Su Musha originally took a treasure boat along the Songjiang River to Taihu Lake.

But he suspected that there were too many people to fall in love, so he led Ye Qiudi and Shuyu to get off the boat and take the land route, and let Yu Youju lead the people of Qianfotang to Taihu Lake by boat.

The ox cart walked slowly in the forest, and the breeze slightly stirred the long hair, blowing to the corners of Su Mu's long mouth.

Ye Qiudi pushed him aside, and suddenly thought of Ye Qiudi's bad idea for the goatee old man of the Hailiu Sword Sect.

After the goatee Lao Su stabbed Bai Youwen to death, the whole person was stupid, and he had long forgotten to avenge his son.

He has more than one son, and his son will not be alive if he dies, but he really can't live if he kills Bai Youwen.

He believed that when the news came back to White Emperor City, the clothes would definitely wash the entire Sea Stream Sword Sect in blood.

Su Musha came up with an idea for them, saying that there is only one way to do things so far, and that is to move the position with thirty-six plans.

Su Musha even designed an escape route for them, and asked them to move to Fusang with their families first. If Yi Bu Fashion chased Fuso, he also knew another way to escape, that is, Fusang took a boat north along the continent to the north, until it reached the northeast end and then crossed the sea and turned east, and they would soon reach another continent.

"You can find that land by boat heading northeast, but it's more dangerous. Su Mu kindly reminded.

Su Musha told them that the land was very vast, the climate was pleasant, and it was very easy to live in.

"But there is one thing you must promise me. Ye Qiudi remembered that Su Musha said very seriously at the time, "This is a major event that will make you famous in history!"

His solemnity made the old man who had been stunned also show a curious look.

"Everywhere you go, you must bury a stone tablet, which is engraved: I come, I see, I conquer, this place has been the territory of China since ancient times!"

"Now, the heavy responsibility of opening up the territory is on you, take care!"

Su Musha solemnly handed over all the five baht coins on his body to Lao Suo.

In addition, he gave Lao Su a Shuobei king waist card and asked him to sell it as gold if necessary.

Lao Suo was completely stunned.
