"Brother Lu, this time it's really thanks to you!" Cao Cheng said to Lu Zhenbang, who was standing beside him.

Lu Zhenbang laughed heartily and said, "It's still too early to say this at this time!" Your Highness, please quickly arrange for the palace guards to take turns to defend, and be vigilant against the anti-Wang Cao En's sneak attack at night!"

"That's true!" Cao Cheng nodded.

After calling the chief of the guard, Cao Cheng ordered him to arrange manpower to firmly guard the royal city!

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Great Prince, please go out and speak. A guard came in and reported.

"Don't go!"

"Don't worry, just go and see what he has to say. Lu Zhenbang suggested to Cao Cheng.

He didn't care on the surface, but he was very anxious in his heart.

The situation here, he passed it to Chen Hao through secret channels yesterday at a speed of 100,000 urgently. But until now, more than a whole day has passed, and there has been no reply from Chen Hao's side.

When Lu Zhenbang returned to Pingyuan City, he didn't do what Chen Hao said at all.

Relying on his abundant financial resources and personal force, he quickly unified the underground forces of Plains City and became the boss of the underworld forces in Plains City. The gang he founded was called the "Three Two Gang".

This weird name is all due to his high-profile salt sprinkling.

Because as long as you join the Three Taels, you can get at least three taels of salt every month.

Whether you are poor and can't open the pot, or weak and can't kill chickens, as long as you are willing to join the three taels of the gang, willing to be a member of it, and pass the loyalty assessment, you can receive this salt.

This simple and rude approach allowed Lu Zhenbang to firmly occupy his foothold in Plains City!

Even if the Cao family already knew that the leader of the three or two gangs was the demon who fled from the court back then, they couldn't catch Lu Zhenbang who was wantonly pulling people under their noses.

Because not only every street, every alley, those who kneel and beg, or honest men, or those who sell cooking cakes, are all gangs of three or two, and even in the yamen of the Cao family, in the White Tiger Hall, there are also animal tamers, and countless people have also joined the gang of three or two.

Not everyone is a salt person!

Even those errand servants and animal trainers who directly worked for the Cao family, most of them were poor and could only eat light food. Coarse tea and light rice are not just an adjective here, it is a true portrayal of the life of the poor.

In Pingyuan City, when more than thirty percent of people from all walks of life are gangs of three, Lu Zhenbang is like a loach in troubled water, you know that he is there, but you can't catch him!

The gangster business controlled by Lu Zhenbang is, of course, impossible to support such a large consumption. The lack of salt was all given by Chen Hao again and again without compensation.

Since Chen Hao started refining salt, Lu Zhenbang is the first capable person who can consume Chen Hao's salt!

To this end, Chen Hao has added thousands of acres of land to plant salt vegetables, and even every time he makes vegetable pulp and concocts solvents, it takes a whole day to complete.

Fortunately, Ye Buwen really grasped the real power of the internal affairs of Overwatch City, and he completely believed in Chen Hao. As the actual city lord, Ye Buwen doesn't take the land so seriously.

Besides, if he wants to continue to sit in this position, he deserves to pay the price of some land. What's more, Chen Hao will still give him rent, and he doesn't ask for it in vain.

In comparison, the support received by the second prince Cao Cheng is purely not worth mentioning. In this way, the second prince still couldn't spend the large amount of money sent by Chen Hao.

Therefore, spending money is also a technical job. If you want to spend more, you have to spend well, and not everyone can do it!

And now, the effect is even more immediate.

Lu Zhenbang's gang of three or two, everyone loves and supports him wholeheartedly. As soon as he gave an order, he pulled 5,000 people out of the gang and directly helped Cao Cheng, occupying the palace at the first time when the White Tiger King died.

On the other hand, Cao Cheng, if he hadn't formed a de facto occupation of the palace with the help of Lu Zhenbang, I'm afraid that the chief of the guard who was originally bought would not be on his side at all!

Because at the time of the incident, it was Lu Zhenbang who learned the news of Lao Wang's death for the first time through the help of eunuchs in the palace, and the guard officer did not mean to inform Cao Cheng at all. Although according to his own words, it is not as fast as the news of the Lu gang leader.

But at this time, it was the time to employ people, and Cao Chengcheng believed the statement of the chief of the guard. Anyway, he is helping himself now, regardless of whether his loyalty comes from the pressure of the three or two gangs.

And beside the eldest prince, how many of those officials and officials of the White Tiger Hall, and the captains and leaders of those beast tamers had received Cao Cheng's salt? But now they still choose to stand with Cao En!

Cao Cheng was extremely depressed, but he was also secretly happy that he was forced to save Lu Zhenbang back then.

Almost all the salt was spent in vain, and a group of white-eyed wolves were fed, but as long as Lu Zhenbang supported him, there was still a fight!

From the early hours of the morning to the whole day, and then until nightfall, Cao Cheng and Cao En's two men and horses were very strangely stalemate inside and outside the palace, and no one took the lead in launching the first blow.

But Lu Zhenbang knows that there will always be people whose patience will be exhausted, and when things can't see a breakthrough direction, someone will choose to solve it by force!

Battles will be inevitable!

Although his gang of three or two has a large number of people, they are still a bit amateur compared to the well-trained elites of the White Tiger Hall and the beast tamers who specialize in fighting. And the palace guards, who temporarily belong to the same camp as themselves, don't know if they can be relied on at the last moment.

The most important thing is that Chen Hao has no news yet!

Lu Zhenbang could only find a way to delay as much as he could.

Now that Cao En wants to talk, then he should go out and talk to him for a while, and it can drag on for a moment!

Therefore, when Cao Cheng expressed his reluctance to go out, Lu Zhenbang persuaded him to go out and see what Cao En had to say.

"Okay, then I'll go out and hear what he's talking about. Cao Cheng must pay attention to Lu Zhenbang's words now.

According to his own wishes, as long as he waits any longer, when those civil ministers who are waiting and watching are willing to stand up, he can occupy the palace himself, he can fabricate his father's edict at will, and rely on the advantage of legal theory to successfully ascend to the throne.

Cao Cheng is not a fool, he knows that once he fights, on his side, the three or two gangs are just relying on a rabble with a large number of people, and it seems that the odds of winning are not too great. Once lost in the battle, those who sit on the wall and watch will probably completely fall to the side of the eldest prince Cao En.

The palace gate was tightly closed, and among the three or two gangs, mixed with the original palace guards, they held bows and arrows on the palace wall, holding swords and guns to defend.

Cao Cheng didn't dare to open the door, so he asked people to build a ladder, climbed up and stood on the wall and said loudly: "Cao En, you traitor!
