"What?!" Wu Zhenglong said with a straight face: "Our Yuanyang Gang will never do this kind of thing that cuts off people's back roads and excludes people's ancestral halls, even if Lord Duan is forced by capital crimes, it is also the same." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The corners of Duan Qianqiu's mouth rose, but he didn't smile, he said with a relaxed look in his eyes: "Gang Master Wu don't have to worry, I don't want you to do things that hurt heaven and reason, I just want you to do something for the imperial court and accumulate some blessings for your gang." ”

"Gang Leader Wu, you must also know who Cui Chengxiu is, even if you haven't met, you must have heard of his deeds. ”

"A little bit of it. ”

"And the goods you moved at the dock, do you have his?"

“... This old man doesn't know..."

"It is very convenient to find out the source of the goods, as long as the owner of the ship is arrested, it will be known as soon as he asks. ”

Wu Zhenglong was silent, in fact, where did the goods on the wharf come from, everyone knew that the reason why Mingyue Bay was still transshipment a large number of private goods at sea at a time when it was in the limelight was raging was because the previous ship merchants had taken too many orders inland, not that they could be stopped.

Smuggling dealers are also more credible, and value this quality more than normal businesses. Because both buyers and sellers survive in the cracks of the rules, they are very sensitive to the word reputation, and a breach of trust is enough for you to lose everything you had before.

It is no longer a matter of one or two days that the sailors of Dengzhou Prefecture and Choi Sung-so have been "eye-to-eye", but it is the first time that such a large-scale centralized loading and unloading of private cargo ships at sea has been allowed under their noses. The emergency start of Mingyue Bay, a cargo transshipment port, shows that Choi Sung-so has encountered great difficulties in the transshipment line at sea.

Duan Qianqiu's vigorous suppression of smuggling in the short term pressed Cui Chengxiu's route from the open sea to the coastal zone, and relied on the protection of the Dengzhou Navy Division to transfer the short-term backlog of goods to the mainland through Mingyue Bay.

This situation is not that Wu Zhenglong does not know, but it is too common, and the former ministers of the imperial court who have banned the sea often come down to inspect the sea ban, all of them are perfunctory and hasty.

So this time he didn't take it too seriously, and still did it according to the old way.

It wasn't until the embroidered guards of the forbidden palace of the imperial court appeared in his mansion that he understood the seriousness of the matter. Therefore, he couldn't refute Duan Qianqiu's questioning.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Duan Qianqiu continued: "At least half of the people who carry the escort goods on Mingyue Bay are in your gang. If you say you don't know if it's Cui Chengxiu's goods, then whose goods are on Mingyue Bay?"

"This..."

"As far as I know, the Yuanyang Gang has more than 13,450 gang members, 11 halls, and 36 liaison offices, and its forces are distributed in the east, west, north and south of the Dajing Dynasty. Yuanyang helps to collect the goods, but also far and wide, no matter how big or small, as long as you take it, it is to fight for your life, and you must deliver it safely. It's a reputation that is rising, and the wind and water are rising, Wu Gang Master, you must have been very stable and peaceful in the past few years, right?"

Duan Qianqiu talked eloquently, and he said that the history of the development of the Yuanyang Gang was to the point, and he seemed to know the entire Yuanyang Gang very well, but Wu Zhenglong was more and more frightened the more he listened, because he was concerned by the imperial court embroidery guards, there was usually nothing good, this is common sense, of course Wu Zhenglong will not know.

Sure enough, as soon as Duan Qianqiu's words changed, he said what Wu Zhenglong was most worried about.

"But I know that these are not the reasons why the Yuanyang Gang can do such a big thing?" Duan Qianqiu emphasized again: "None of the reasons mentioned above are not!"

"There is only one reason why the Yuanyang Gang can do such a big thing!"

Wu Zhenglong sighed lightly and did not answer, because he knew what the reason was, although sometimes he didn't want to admit it himself, but no one could deny that it was true.

"It's because of Choi Sung-so!"

Duan Qianqiu smiled and said: "If there is no Cui Chengxiu's commercial territory all over the world, if there is no Cui Chengxiu's endless stream of foreign merchant ships, if he doesn't assign all the goods escort in the world to your Yuanyang Gang to do..." ”

Wu Zhenglong sighed: "Since Master Duan already knows that my Yuanyang Gang relied on Cui Chengxiu to start a family, then I, Wu Zhenglong, can't do that dirty thing of treachery and secretly laying a knife." ”

Duan Qianqiu said: "Gang Leader Wu's words are wrong, my move is not to harm Cui Chengxiu, but to save him!"

"How to save him?"

"It is imperative for the imperial court to abolish the maritime ban and reopen the sea to sea, and now the emperor has the will to revive the grand plan of the sea country, and is now lobbying various forces entrenched in the sea and frontier to subdue the imperial court, and the past mistakes will not be investigated. I came from Yehuang City to meet with Cui Chengxiu and talk about the future of the Bohai Bay. ”

"I was looking for him in Dengzhou Mansion for half a month, he avoided it, I let out a rumor on the rivers and lakes, and invited him to talk, but he turned a deaf ear, I set up a banquet on the Eight Immortals Mountain and waited for him for three days, everyone knows, he still does not show up. Now that the imperial court sea ban has not yet been opened, Cui Chengxiu has regarded the imperial court ban as nothing, and tomorrow he will have the audacity to smuggle merchant ships in the Dajing Sea area, his blatant confrontation with the imperial court, Wu Gang Master, do you think he will still have a future?" Duan Qianqiu asked.

Wu Zhenglong's expression was gloomy, now the momentum of the Dajing Dynasty is in full swing, although Cui Chengxiu is strong, but against the entire imperial court, the result will inevitably be that the mantis arm blocks the car and kills himself, he just doesn't understand, why is Cui Chengxiu unwilling to negotiate with the imperial court?

After he said this idea, Duan Qianqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know either!"

Wu Zhenglong said: "But I don't know where Cui Chengxiu is, we don't know more about him than you, Master Duan." ”

"I know, I don't need you to tell me where the others are, I just need to take over your gang for the time being, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Duan Qianqiu said.

"Take over my gang......" Wu Zhenglong hesitated in his heart.

Duan Qianqiu knew the worry in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Gang Master Wu, I don't want to take away your power, and the court doesn't want to ban your gang, in fact, the takeover I am talking about here is only half a month, and I won't change any of your people, it's just that the goods you have transferred will be concentrated somewhere according to my intentions, and the goods that you have transferred out before, you have to tell me where they are sent." ”

"You want to rob Cui Chengxiu's goods?!" Wu Zhenglong said with his eyes open.

"It's borrowing, not robbing!" Duan Qianqiu said with a smile.
