Shui Hibiscus was suddenly picked up by Xiong Wei, her little face was a little red, and her breathing was a little tight.

Xiong Wei carried her out the door and put her down.

Shui Furong looked at Xiong Wei with a puzzled look and said, "Why did you suddenly pick me up and leave?"

"If you don't hug you, will you wait until you turn around and see other men naked!" Xiong Wei finished speaking, and walked away without looking back.

As he walked, he said, "Hurry up, it's too late, I still have to go and save the old gang leader." ”

Water Hibiscus hurriedly followed.

Xiong Wei had barely taken a few steps when two Salt Gang men stopped him.

Xiong Wei didn't say much, and as soon as he stretched out his index fingers, a strong sword aura hit the necks of those two people.

"Ahh

"Why are you so impulsive. Isn't it good to go to the hidden point? You might get into a lot of trouble if you do that. Shui Hibiscus reminded, "Also, the deputy gang leader is still in the room, what do you do?"

"They can't die. Xiong Wei said and sped up and ran towards the old gang leader's room, "The most important thing at the moment is to save the old gang leader first." Let's not talk about other things. ”

Xiong Wei rushed to the old gangmaster's room, the bookshelf was still open, the two guards were still lying by the door just now, and the old gangmaster was still sitting in the dark pavilion.

Xiong Wei hurriedly opened the chains on the old gang leader's body.

"Old gang leader, there is one thing I don't understand. Why did the deputy gang leader tie you up?" Xiong asked as he opened the chains.

"Young man, you saved my life, and I should have told the truth. But the stakes are high, and you don't know it's a good thing for you. ”

Xiong Wei helped the old gang leader up and continued to ask: "Okay, I won't ask more about the salt gang." However, I still have to ask my old gang leader about the salt tax. ”

"Alas!" said the old gang leader with a deep sigh, "the bane is this salt tax. ”

The old gang leader moved his hands and feet and said to Xiong Wei, "You come with me!"

The old gang leader took Xiong Wei to the ancestral hall, and the old gang leader opened three sticks of incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times.

He read in his mouth: "The ancestors of the Salt Gang are the leaders of the Salt Gang. Now that the Salt Gang is in great trouble, I ask the ancestors and ancestors to bless the Salt Gang to tide over the difficulties. ”

"The catastrophe of the Salt Gang, which I have always feared, has finally happened. For the sake of morality, I have to say it. Even if you want to destroy the entire Salt Gang! The ancestors and ancestors of the Salt Gang, if you want to blame me, you can blame me for not accepting my apprentices properly, and I have seen the wrong person!"

Xiong Wei took a closer look at the room, the room was not large, and there was a wall in front of it, under which were the shrines of the ancestors of the Salt Gang.

The old gang leader said, stood up and gently activated one of the ranks of the ancestors of the Salt Gang. There was a "bang" and the wall behind the line turned away.

The old gang leader looked back at Xiong Wei and said, "This is the forbidden land of my salt gang, and no one else can trespass except the gang leader." ”

"Then the old gang leader, what are you ......" Xiong Wei didn't quite understand what the old gang leader was doing.

"At this time, the Salt Gang has so many eyes and ears that I can't find a safe place to speak. Come in with me. ”

Xiong Wei looked into the wall that had been turned away again, and there was nothing to see in the pitch black. Suddenly, his vigilance increased, and he said, "The old gang leader will ask first." ”

"Good!" the old gang leader also saw Xiong Wei's thoughts, and walked in himself and lit the candle.

Xiong Wei subconsciously took Shui Hibiscus's hand, gestured with his eyes, and probably said to Shui Hibiscus: "I'll go in first, you follow me." If something is wrong, you run. ”

Shui Furong saw that Xiong Wei cared about herself, and instantly felt warm in her heart, like a little bird snuggling up to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei held Shui Hibiscus's hand tightly, and the whole person stood in front of her, moving forward slowly.

The two walked in, and with a "whoosh", the door naturally closed. Xiong Wei subconsciously looked back.

"See the helper!" Before Xiong Wei could react, he heard movement in front of him.

Xiong Wei looked back again, and there were suddenly five more people in the dark room just now. They were all holding torches and standing.

Xiong Wei completely blocked Shui Hibiscus in the corner behind him, looked at the old gang leader and said, "Old gang leader, you just said that this is the forbidden land of the Salt Gang, and others can't come in, so these people are ......"

"Haha!" the old gang leader let out a hearty smile, "They are the hall masters of my Salt Gang Nine Dragon Hall. ”

"The Salt Gang has nine halls and nine hall masters. These are all because they were persecuted by the deputy gang leader, and I asked them to find an excuse to disappear in the salt gang, and at the same time secretly collected evidence of the deputy gang leader's smuggling of smuggled salt. ”

When Xiong Wei heard this, he relaxed his vigilance and exclaimed: "Jiang is still old and spicy." The helper is really scheming. It looks like you've already had this day. ”

"Haha!" the old gang leader let out a hearty smile again, glancing at his hall masters, "Let you collect the evidence." It's time to take it out. ”

"Helper, this is the evidence we have put together. One of them taught the old gang leader a ledger.

The old gang leader flipped through the ledger and glanced at it quickly.

The old gang leader looked at Xiong Wei carefully and said, "Young man, look at your dignified appearance and chivalrous spirit. It's not like a person in the government. I don't know why you're bothering about it?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shui Hibiscus and smiled slightly: "She is a bit official, she should be Miss Guanfu." Dare to ask what position my father holds in the court?"

"I am indeed from the rivers and lakes, but I am also a guard with a knife appointed by the emperor. Xiong Wei said very seriously.

Xiong Wei looked back at Shui Hibiscus and said, "As for her, she is also from the rivers and lakes." She is the sister-in-law of the leader of the Shandong Quicksand Organization. ”

The old gang leader nodded and said, "Then this matter is right, it is the emperor who wants to investigate this case." Otherwise, at your age, you can withstand this unhealthy wind. Young people, do more good things for our people. ”

The old gang leader handed the account book to Xiong Wei, took a deep breath and said, "This is all the criminal evidence of the deputy gang leader, and there is some evidence involving government corruption. ”

Xiong Wei looked at the old gang leader and several hall masters again, and said, "Old gang leader, don't worry. I know this has nothing to do with you. I'll find a way to protect you. It's just that there's something unclear below. ”

The old gang leader set his sights on Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei continued: "Since you hall masters are fine, why don't you go and save you, and let you be locked up in the dark pavilion to suffer?"

"Haha!" the old gang leader smiled, looked at his deputy gang leaders again, and said helplessly, "If they fight with these guys who sell illicit salt, I'm afraid they won't even know how their lives were lost." Just let me die alone! I am saying that people who often walk on the tip of a knife have a reason not to be pierced by a knife. ”

Xiong Wei still didn't understand.

The old gang leader looked at his expression and suddenly said, "How did you get the key?"

Xiong Wei told the old gang leader what had happened. Finally, he said, "The deputy gang leader is not dressed yet? ”

The old gang leader frowned and looked at Xiong Wei, took out a token from his arms, threw the hall master who had just given him the account book, and said, "You take a few people to arrest that muddy boy for me, and wait for me in Zhongyi Hall." ”

"Do as the helper commands. The hall master took the token and went out.

"Helper, what are you?" Xiong Wei didn't understand.

The old gang leader glanced around the room, looked at Xiong Wei, and then looked at the ledger in his hand.

The old gang leader ate more salt than Xiong Wei's rice, and he knew what would happen next when he saw the chivalrous spirit between Xiong Qi's eyebrows and eyes.

Based on Xiong Wei's chivalrous spirit, he is jealous and hateful, and if he investigates, he will definitely find out how some prefects and other officials oppress the people, and if he follows this clue, he will definitely lead to bigger officials.

The old gang leader pointed to the account book and advised Xiong Wei to say: "There is some evidence in it about the corruption of the Yangzhou prefect and other officials. This line is found in the Salt Gang, forget it. ”

Xiong Wei still didn't understand, and asked strangely: "What about the salt merchants, and what about the leaked salt tax?"

The old gang leader helped Xiong Wei analyze again.

Since this net has been torn open from the salt gang, then a few more salt merchants will be punished from here.

The old gang leader suggested that Xiong Wei should not move too much, and that he could kill the chicken and show it to the monkey. Talk to the salt merchants privately and ask them to raise the salt tax. The main purpose of the imperial court was to recover the leaked salt tax, not to punish corrupt officials.

The old gang leader will clean up the portal in a while, and Xiong Wei can treat these people as criminals who have taken the initiative to leak the salt tax, and then bring some salt merchants along the way, and this matter is over. As for the people in the government, don't implicate any of them.

"No, the prefect of Yangzhou, I have dealt with him. The leakage of the salt tax must also have something to do with him. And the evidence above also proves that he was also involved in the salt tax spill. Xiong Wei said firmly.

Shui Furong didn't think so, she very much agreed with the old gang leader's opinion, and said: "The affairs of the court are very complicated, and it affects the whole body. It's like the case we solved in Shandong, and that case was forced to do so at that time. ”

"I don't know how many officials will be implicated in this matter, and maybe some people in the capital will be implicated. If that's the case, it's hard to clean up. ”

After all, Shui Hibiscus was born as a lady eunuch, and she knows a little about officialdom. Her instincts were bad.

The old gang leader laughed again when he heard this: "You still say that she is a person in the rivers and lakes, she is not an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes." Her natural temperament has proved that she was born as a young lady from an official family, and she may have been in the rivers and lakes for some reason. ”

"The old gang leader is really a good eye, and when he says this, he won't hide it from you. My grandfather is Yu Shenxing. ”

"Yu Shenxing?" the old gang leader was startled, "It's not strange. ”

He looked at Xiong Wei again and said, "Young man, you will take away these people I have dealt with in a while, and I will have a banquet in the name of my salt gang, and when the time comes, make your words clear at the banquet, and the matter will be over!"

Xiong Wei didn't speak, he was a little hesitant in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.

"Let's go!" the old gang leader took Xiong Wei to Zhongyi Hall.

The five hall masters have already tied up the deputy gang leader in the Zhongyi Hall.

The old gang leader scolded the deputy gang leader bitterly, and sorted out the gang rules again.

Xiong Wei said goodbye to the old gang leader and escorted the deputy gang leader and some of his men away.
