Lu Pan was coaxed and deceived by Jiang Yangsheng's bragging, which made the sky fall into a daze, only to feel that the sky outside was different from Qingzhou City, Jiang Yangsheng just wanted to kidnap someone to go to Bashu with his companion, but Lu Pan, a bastard boy, was not bright and refused to get out of Qingzhou City.

Lu Pan, who had always thought that Qingzhou City was the largest, realized that there was a much larger Beilai City in Qilu Prefecture than Qingzhou City, and there was also a Red Emperor City, the leader of the rivers and lakes with many sects and immortals who could open the sky and break the river with a sword.

Jiang Yangsheng was speechless, feeling that the chicken and the duck said that he and Lu Pan were not the same people, although they were both rough in their bones, they parted ways in some identities and had their own opinions, and they did not conspire with each other.

In half a month, he did not abduct Lu Pan, and Jiang Yangsheng was not discouraged, but he felt that it was not a matter for Lu Pan to mix with the rivers and lakes, and he might suffer a big loss one day and be deceived by someone for nothing.

Lu Pan loves and hates Jiang Yangsheng, he can't fight against this guy who has been indiscriminate under the ruthless means, and he can't scold, he is always deflated when he is together, this guy is also picky when he eats, and cheats and drinks in his own house for more than half a month, but his mother is hospitable and does not give an eviction order, and there are two more people in the family who eat white food, and the grain tank that is not very abundant will bottom out in a few days, Lu Pan's mother can only go out to borrow grain, for fear that the two guests will not eat well at home, and borrow a lot of meat from the village, and even the old hen that lays eggs at home is killed and eaten into the stomach。

After half a month, Jiang Yangsheng and Lu Pan have a very good relationship, but Lu Pan only admires the salt gang in Qingzhou City, and the Qingzhou Salt Gang from his mouth seems to be the existence of dominating the rivers and lakes, sacred and abnormal, he has always been proud to be a member of the Qingzhou Salt Gang, and he doesn't know anything about the strange rivers and lakes that Jiang Yangsheng said, and he doesn't even have the desire and impulse to understand.

"Now in the Salt Gang?"

Jiang Yangsheng pondered for a while, and then asked.

Lu Pan wiped his scarlet eyes and nodded silently.

"The Salt Gang is actually a small river and lake, and everyone in it can do it, and these people are mixed, so your character will suffer a lot in it. ”

Lu Pan nodded, as if he agreed very much, "How difficult it is for newcomers who have just entered to get ahead, I can still bear this kind of suffering, and it will be much better after a while." ”

He looked at Jiang Yangsheng's fiery sable fur and said sincerely: "You kid is dressed like this and really looks like a family child." ”

Jiang Yangsheng just smiled slightly, and then said: "You'd better not be in the Salt Gang, the Salt Gang won't exist for long." ”

Lu Pan was puzzled, but saw Jiang Yangsheng frowning and said: "In a few years, Beilai will be turned upside down, and the salt gang, which is clinging to the noble branches, will be greatly changed, whether it exists or not, at least it will be necessary to change the blood of the muscles and bones, and they have a conflict of interest with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they have been regarded as a thorn in the sand in the eyes for a long time, once the climate of Beilai is changed, it is destined not to let them exist." ”

Lu Pan was puzzled and asked, "Why can we tolerate the existence of those so-called gate sects, but we can't let the salt gang exist?"

Jiang Yangsheng shook his head and said: "The Salt Gang is not the same as some orthodox sects, the Salt Gang attaches importance to interests, and Salt and Iron have always been the forbidden body of those in power, and they will die if they touch it. ”

Lu Pan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he knew that what Jiang Yangsheng said was not like a joke.

The Salt Gang has been a cancer in the court since ancient times, and the emperor wants to get rid of it quickly, but many local officials take the risk to secretly support the Salt Gang to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, originally these officials don't make such a big noise, and the appearance is quite ugly, the officialdom has no clean officials, and everyone fills their pockets in private, but the appearance should be elegant and subtle, and the literati should be as elegant as the, so as not to make people bored, but many people will not care about these things on the face, feeling' The emperor is far away, and he lives in a corner, and the emperor can't control himself!

Qingzhou is an example, those official eunuchs whose family backgrounds are intricate in the officialdom feel that they are very hard in the background, their waists are straight, and they can walk sideways in Beilai if they have someone behind them, but now Jiang Loan doesn't want to deal with them, if they really want to rectify the officialdom in Beilai one day, it is estimated that most of the guilt of the officials will be enough to lose their heads several times.

Lu Pan's family lives in the most remote corner of the village, because his father is a deserter, so in the village Lu Pan has not been treated well since he was a child, even the mother with Lu Pan has suffered from the white eyes, the mother and son depend on each other The small courtyard is located in the easternmost part of the village, if there is nothing to do, no one will patronize Lu Pan's house, poor in the downtown no one asks, Lu Pan since his father was asked to behead almost all the relatives in the family have broken off relations with his family overnight, Lu Pan didn't feel anything when he was a child, and gradually grew up to find that kind of loneliness that was not valued。 What growing teenager doesn't want to receive attention from others!

Can't he see the snub glances cast by the people around him? The people around him poke him in the back and he doesn't know? He will be indifferent when people point fingers and make irresponsible remarks behind his back? It's just that Lu Pan has long been accustomed to it.

Therefore, from that time on, Lu Pan's heart decided to enter the Yan Gang, if nothing else, for his own family no longer to be left out in the cold, so that those relatives who took the initiative to cut off relations with their family regretted it, in order to seal those irresponsible faces!

Lu Pan joined the Salt Gang behind his mother's back, and joining the Salt Gang in Qingzhou City was as serious as squatting in prison after turning over the previous convictions, and in the hearts of many people, the Salt Gang was a place where a group of ruffians and hooligans gathered, a place of chaos with a miasma. But it cannot be denied that the Salt Gang is a place with rich oil and water, even if there is a small minion in it, it can make a lot of money, but this kind of place is indispensable to fight and kill, so it is common for many Salt Gang children to lose their lives and lack arms and legs.

Lu Pan is a protégé of the salt gang, the salt gang is different from the rivers and lakes, every disciple who enters the door has to worship a door as a leader, Lu Pan, who did not understand the situation at the time, worshiped under the door of the two worshippers in a daze, and later learned that although the two worshippers looked at the fairy appearance of the fairy wind and bones at the age of fifty or sixty, but the private life was a mess, and he didn't know how many girls and maids were raised in his house, and I heard that the appearance and figure were not bad, as the worship of the Jizo Salt Gang every month The oil and water are very rich, although the big head is taken by the county guard of Qingzhou City, the clear soup and little water left behind can still feed the huge Jizo Hall。

"Let's go, drink with me. ”

Jiang Yangsheng patted Lu Pan's shoulder, and suddenly remembered that this guy's alcohol consumption is really terrible, as long as he takes a sip of wine, he will be drunk, if he is allowed to drink, he may be able to make a big deal, and then he thought about it, since Lu Pan's mother died, he has already accumulated a breath of turbidity in his heart, and it has not been relieved by depositing it in his chest for so long.

"Okay?"

Lu Pan's face turned red, and he said with a smile: "It's much better." ”

Jiang Yangsheng smiled but did not speak, and the two of them walked towards a restaurant in Qingzhou City with flattery, quite the feeling of getting together to peek at the girl Liu Rongrong on the street taking a bath.

···

Although Qingzhou City is not a first-class wealthy city in Beilai, because of the existence of the private salt industry, Qingzhou City is bustling all year round with traders who transport smuggled salt from the south to the north, so the popularity of Qingzhou City is very strong all year round.

In a two-story restaurant near the towering city wall of Qingzhou City, two young people who are not very old sat on the second floor and found a window position to sit down.

Jiang Yangsheng grabbed a jar of duck head green and then patted the mud seal, probed to look at the color of the wine inside, the green was like a little spring green on the duck's head, and the sound was good, and poured the green and blue sea bowl in front of the two of them.

Lu Pan was depressed in his heart, and he had to feel comfortable, and now he just took this opportunity to use wine to kill his sorrows, so a bowl of wine was dried up, Jiang Yangsheng shouted well, and then he drank it on his back, the wine bowl hung upside down, and there was no drop of wine left.

Lu Pan himself doesn't like to drink, so he has been cooking several bowls in a row at this time, his face is not ruddy, and he shakes his head from time to time to sober up.

Jiang Yangsheng poured him a full bowl of wine with a smile and asked, "How is it in the Salt Gang?"

Lu Panxing may have drunk a lot of wine, and he didn't hide his distress at the moment, and smiled bitterly: "What else, people like me who are so cowardly naturally can't get along, but they won't be cornered." ”

Jiang Yangsheng didn't ask too much, he wanted Lu Pan to say it himself, after all, these things buried in his heart had already made him carry too heavy things, so that it was difficult to move.

"Yes. Jiang Yangsheng nodded, and then said: "The dumping between the salt gangs is even a hundred times more serious than that of the rivers and lakes. ”

Lu Pan nodded, his face was already red at this time, and even his eyes were bloodshot.

"I'm not afraid of these, I'm afraid of the days when I don't get ahead, I'm timid, but it doesn't mean I'm afraid of things, I'm just afraid that I can't afford to carry a crumbling family that is overwhelmed, and I'm afraid that I can't hold it under the mouths of others. ”

Lu Pan raised his head, his eyes resolute and clear.

"People say that my father was a deserter and was beheaded for public display, right?"

Jiang Yangsheng felt a pain in his heart, his eyes also had Lu Pan's undoubted expression, he stared at Lu Pan's eyes, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Lu Pan smiled, then poured himself a bowl of wine, raised his head and drank it, and sighed: "Do you know, Jiang Softdan, once you get serious, there are two possibilities, one is to deceive people, and the other is to die." ”

Jiang Yangsheng was surprisingly silent, drank a bowl of wine, and the wine entered his stomach, like a line of fire across his stomach, full of stamina.
