The Salt Gang looked at each other, not knowing why. There is such a big thing at the helm, Chen Ao, as the helmsman, does not allocate manpower to hunt down the gangsters, but wants to discuss something. What's so there to talk about? Just do it with a bright knife!

Everyone had a general idea in their hearts, but no one came forward, and everyone didn't want to be this early bird, so they honestly went to the front hall and sat down according to the ranks. Disciples of lower grades stood behind.

Chen Ao looked around, and had already read everyone's thoughts from everyone's expressions. He remained silent, walked to the main seat and sat down, and ordered someone to prepare seats for Zhao Ling and Liu Dongquan. The two seats were placed on the left and right sides of Chen Ao, and Zhao Ling and Liu Dongquan sat on top of them, but they really looked like Chen Ao's right-hand man.

The salt gang disciples exchanged their heads and whispered. Most of them knew Zhao Ling and knew that this woman had a lot of skills, and on the first day she came to the helm, she handled all affairs in an orderly manner. Therefore, Zhao Ling sat next to Chen Ao, and everyone had no opinions.

As for Liu Dongquan, although he looks tall and strong, he is a practitioner. But everyone doesn't know each other, and naturally there are quite a few complaints about Chen Ao's courtesy.

Chen Ao heard everyone's discussions, smiled slightly, got up and said, "This Lord Liu Dongquan Liu is a messenger sent by the imperial court and a master of the Imperial City Division. Everyone knows each other!"

Before the words fell, Liu Dongquan's face changed, and his eyes glared at Chen Ao. Chen Ao told his identity in public, which really surprised Liu Dongquan. Chen Ao didn't discuss this matter with him at all, and Liu Dongquan didn't know what medicine was sold in Chen Ao's gourd, so he was naturally angry.

Chen Ao made a calm gesture to him, and then said to the people of the Salt Gang who were in a daze in the hall: "You don't need to be surprised. I also know that our Salt Gang has always been at odds with the imperial court, and it is inevitable that I will be overwhelmed when I see a senior official of the imperial court suddenly appear here. But Lord Liu didn't come to find our stubble. Let's think about it, what is the identity of Lord Liu, and what kind of person does he represent? If Lord Liu wants to be unfavorable to us, will he still sit here calmly and calmly?"

He has a deep understanding of human psychology, and deliberately makes his words vague and allows everyone to make up the meaning of the words by themselves. In fact, although Liu Dongquan came here to serve the emperor's orders, he really had no good intentions towards the Salt Gang. As for Liu Dongquan sitting here, it is just for personal selfishness.

But Chen Ao's words fell on everyone's ears, as if he was saying that Liu Dongquan came here to represent the emperor and intended to have a good relationship with the Salt Gang.

Everyone in the Salt Gang has their own ideas, and some feel that it is a good thing for the court to reveal goodwill. while others still have malicious intentions towards the imperial court and refuse to believe Chen Ao's statement. But in this way, the situation of opposing Chen Ao and Liu Dongquan together will not appear.

Zhao Ling sat on the side and smiled slightly, Chen Ao's method was naturally nothing to a scheming person like her. But Chen Ao was able to learn without a teacher, but Zhao Ling was impressed.

Seeing that the dozens of people in the Salt Gang were already difficult to work together, Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, Lord Liu is really kind. Tonight's turmoil is also thanks to Lord Liu's army to repel the gangsters. You see, Lord Liu takes care of me, the new helmsman!"

As soon as he said this, some of the people in the Salt Gang chuckled in their hearts, and they were all thinking, Chen Ao actually had the support of the imperial court, what was his origin?

Everyone was so worried that they didn't dare to say anything more. Chen Ao saw that the time was ripe, so he said: "Everyone, although I have just been the helmsman for a few days, I already feel that the salt gang has accumulated too many shortcomings, and if you don't carry out a thorough innovation, it will be difficult to adapt to the trend of the times!"

Everyone looked at each other, and even Zhao Ling couldn't guess what Chen Ao was going to do for a while.

Elder Yao snorted coldly, and suddenly got up and said, "Lord Chen, with all due respect. You just became the helmsman of this salt gang, you don't know anything, you haven't done a serious thing, but you are talking about the serious evils here, isn't it a mouthful?"

As soon as he came back and saw the situation in the courtyard, he guessed that Xiong Guang must have failed again. Although Xiong Guang was coercing him this time, Elder Yao also had a little hope in his heart that Xiong Guang could succeed, so that his status in the Salt Gang would inevitably go further.

Therefore, Elder Yao was very cooperative with Xiong Guang's actions tonight. But Xiong Guang still failed in this situation, and Elder Yao was really angry and wanted to scold his mother. So as soon as Chen Ao opened his mouth to speak out, Elder Yao couldn't help but stand up and vent the anger in his heart.

After hearing what he said, Chen Ao was not angry, smiled slightly, and said: "Although I have just become the helmsman, it does not mean that I am blind. I know in my heart who is a loyal minister and who is a thief. ”

Elder Yao said angrily, "Chen Ao, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am disloyal to the Salt Gang?"

Chen Ao sneered and said, "What are your thoughts in your heart, God knows, you know and I know, why do you have to pretend to be confused?" Elder Yao, Lord Zheng Duo has been dead for more than a month, and I haven't seen you go to the grave to worship. But it's already dark tonight, and you actually personally took someone to sort out the tomb of Lord Zheng Helm. Don't you want to say something about this inconsistency?"

Elder Yao was stunned, his face turned red, he opened his mouth, and he couldn't speak. The others didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, but after Chen Ao reminded him like this, and then looked at Elder Yao's strange expression, they suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this.

Chen Ao said again: "If you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you." You sent all the good hands of the helmsman out tonight, don't you just want to leave me alone, no one to protect, just to create such a great opportunity for Xiong Guang to kill me!"

The disciples of the Salt Gang listened to Chen Ao's words, and immediately discussed a lot. Bai Junya couldn't help but say: "It turns out that the one who dares to break into the helm tonight is Xiong Guang, a thief bird!"

Chen Ao smiled: "Yes! Fortunately, I heard your report during the day, saying that Xiong Guang could not be found anywhere. I guessed that there must be someone in the rudder who was Xiong Guang's internal response. Because only the helmsman is here, and you will not be suspicious, come and search carefully. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest. Who would have thought that the dignified Elder of the Salt Gang would actually collude with Xiong Guang's gang? But then again, Xiong Guang only has a grudge against me, and he has no grudge against Elder Yao. Elder Yao did this, but he was just his own master. ”

Elder Yao was so angry that his voice trembled a little, and he said angrily, "You...... Why do you say that I colluded with Xiong Guang...... What evidence do you have......"

"Want proof?" Chen Ao smiled and said to Su Fan: "Pull out your dead eunuch surnamed Duan!"

Su Fan was stunned, then he reacted, hurriedly returned to the backyard, beckoned Liu Dongquan's men, and carried Duan Yi to the front hall. But Duan Yi had already fainted to death, and he really couldn't be a witness. Chen Ao casually asked him if he had colluded with Elder Yao, but Duan Yi naturally couldn't answer.

Chen Ao was a little embarrassed, so he had to say, "Okay! If you don't speak, it means that you have acquiesced! Hmph, Elder Yao, what else do you have to say?"

Elder Yao roared: "The old man has been in the Salt Gang all his life, loyal and conscientious, and has never done anything to be sorry for the Salt Gang. Chen Ao, you yellow-mouthed kid wants to fix me, it's really whimsical!"

"Hmph!" Chen Ao sneered, "Loyalty, just by looking at your attitude towards Lord Zheng Duo, I know that a person like you is loyal to him, where is his loyalty? You are like this to Lord Zheng Duo, let alone to me?"

He turned his head to Liu Dongquan and said, "Lord Liu, you have also seen that this old thief is the tumor of the Salt Gang, shouldn't he be cut first?"
