Chapter 145: Bow Your Head to the Divine Dragon
(2 in 1)
'Well, I see. β
After listening to Yang Wuxie's report, Su Mengzhen nodded in a deep voice, and was about to say something, when he suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently.
This cough came so suddenly, without the slightest warning, once it attacked, even a strong person like Su Mengzhen coughed and bent over for a while, his eyes were bloodshot, his face and hands were bruised, it seemed that the whole person was spasming and twisting, and even the spit at the corner of his mouth was a little red bloodstain.
If you are not familiar with people, I am afraid that you will think that this person is going to be crushed by your own cough, so that in an instant, this arrogant tyrant and overlord looks so fragile, as if he is standing on a withered yellow reed pole on the table, and he can be blown down without even a finger, as long as a gust of wind blows.
However, Yang Wuxian is a person who is familiar with Su Mengzhen, since he knew Su Mengzhen and worked for him, he has long been accustomed to Su Mengzhen's nightmare dry cough, and he knows that Su Gongzi will never be defeated so easily - even if he is defeated in the hands of a rare strong enemy in the world, it is impossible to be defeated under a mere cough.
This is just because, this cough is simply the mildest illness on Su Mengzhen's body. Few people know that this strong man in the rivers and lakes has suffered extremely serious internal injuries as early as in his infancy, and since then he has been weak and cold all his life, and has suffered from a variety of strange diseases before he is sensible, and almost all of his body is sick.
But this miracle happened, Su Mengzhen was not only alive, but also relied on his own strength. Supporting the entire "Golden Wind Drizzle Building" of the vast affairs, leading this once in the Beijing Division. The crumbling small gang became one of the seven major gangs in the world in one fell swoop. And it looks like this miracle will continue for the foreseeable future.
Perhaps, this is because of Su Gongzi's charm, and because "Tian" is also impressed by his personality, so he has always stayed in this world.
ββLooking at a character like Su Mengzhen, sometimes, even a rational person like Yang Wuxian can't help but have such thoughts.
After a long wait. Su Mengzhen finally finished coughing.
Knowing that Su Gongzi never needed sympathy, during the whole process of his cough, Yang Wuxian had been standing aside with his hands down, and had never stepped forward to help or help.
He just waited quietly, waiting for Su Mengzhen to finish coughing, and then waiting for Su Gongzi to take out the white square scarf, wipe off the stains on his fingertips and mouth, and wait until Su Mengzhen folded the white towel. Tucked back into the placket, the still weak and sick boy straightened his waist suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back to the strong, shrewd, steel-like leader - the owner of this "Golden Wind Drizzle Building"!
Then he turned around. Looking at Yang Wuxie, a dazzling divine light bloomed in his eyes, and he asked without hesitation, "Some time ago." Our old friend 'Money Gang' seems to have some subtle moves?"
"Yes. Childe!"
Yang Wuxian nodded affirmatively, no need to flip through any files. blurted out the information that was just a passing purpose.
"About just over a month ago, only a little earlier than Jingzhou's 'Liancheng Treasure', the Jing deputy gang leader of the 'Money Gang' began to shrink their power, in addition to the old nest Jinling City and the surrounding areas, a total of more than 1,000 salt shops, grain numbers, blacksmiths, weaving, shipyards, more than 530 dart bureaus, more than 60 rudders, 37 famous wine shops, and more than 200,000 acres of fields and ponds were all given up by them, of which more than seventy percent were received by us and the 'Liufen and a half hall' nearby, in addition. The Power Gang' and 'Tsing Yi Lou' also accounted for about 10% each, and the remaining less than 10% was swallowed by the 'Lost Heaven Alliance', only the 'Nujiao Gang' and 'Sun Fu' were unable to take advantage of the whip because of the distance. The more than 40,000 disciples who were originally in charge of these industries were all transferred back to Jinling by the 'Money Gang', and finally disappeared without a trace, and it is speculated that they may be hidden in the courtyard of the farm. β
"Hmm. β
Hearing this incomparably detailed information, Su Mengzhen nodded again.
"Innocent," Su Mengzhen asked softly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have reported this information to me once a month ago?"
"Yes," Yang Wuxian nodded, "It's exactly what Childe said." β
"So......" Su Mengzhen continued to ask, "What was our judgment at that time?"
"At that time, ......," Yang Wuxian blurted out, as if he didn't need to go through memories at all, "After the research and judgment of several old people in the building, we believe that it is very likely that the 'Money Gang' is preparing to shrink its strength and prepare to use its maximum strength to launch a thunderous blow against the enemy." In fact, we also received news that the 'Tsing Yi First Building', which was exposed, was also gathering strength to guard against the attack of the 'Money Gang', and even formulated three different plans for this purpose, in order to profit from the chaos in the battle between the two gangs. β
"Well, just like a martial artist who wants to punch someone, he always has to withdraw his fist now, shrink his strength first and then attack, this judgment is indeed very reasonable. Su Mengzhen listened and nodded clearly, "However, it seems that there should be something wrong with this judgment?"
"Yes. Yang Wuxian said affirmatively, "In order to be able to react at the first time, we have been using the greatest strength to monitor the movements of the 'Money Gang' and the 'Tsing Yi Building', but a whole month has passed, and the 'Money Gang' has not made any big moves. β
"Hmm......"
Su Mengzhen nodded for the third time, his eyes shining a little, like sparks scattered in the night sky.
He was already very familiar with Su Mengzhen, and looking at Su Gongzi's expression at this moment, Yang Wuxian knew that this shrewd leader had already made some kind of judgment, but before he could say the final conclusion, he still needed the support of some evidence.
Sure enough, after a brief moment of thought. Su Mengzhen finally asked the most critical question.
"Innocence, you remember. The last time the 'Money Gang' shrank - about five or six years ago, because the old gang leader Shangguan Jin Hong was defeated and died under Xiao Li's flying knife. At that time, when Jing Wuming took the position of deputy gang leader and took charge of the gang leader's power - at that time, in order to eliminate the impact of Shangguan Jinhong's death, the entire 'Money Gang's sphere of influence probably shrunk by how much?"
Because this issue was too urgent, Su Mengzhen said so many words in one breath, and finally couldn't help but gasp a little.
He didn't know that almost at the same time, it was not far from Tianquan Mountain. Located in Lin'an City, on Dongsanbei Street, on the second floor of an inconspicuous restaurant called "Sanhe Building", there is a person who is asking the same question in a simple box wrapped in wooden boards.
This man was extremely good-looking, young, and lonely. With a dusty indifference, he was so handsome that he didn't seem to be like a young man in the world, and his brocade robe was gorgeous and clean, which made his whole person also clean. At first sight, people know that this is definitely an extraordinary person among the dragon and phoenix.
If it is a different person, even if it has the demeanor of this person. He will also be proud of himself. However, this absolutely extraordinary character. But he kept his beautiful head down quietly - not because he wanted to, but simply because the skull was broken. had to hang his head all year round. However, such a half-crippled person is far stronger, more clever and wiser than the countless reckless men with high heads on the rivers and lakes combined, as if he has surpassed those "mortals" who do nothing, and has already become a "dragon among men"!
Of course, he is, the second person in the "Six-and-a-half-hall", one of the seven major gangs in the world, and the master of the "six-and-a-half-hall" hall - "Bowed Divine Dragon" Di Feijing!
And at this moment, there is naturally only one person who is qualified to sit here and be asked questions by Di Fei, and it is the head of the "Six and a Half Hall", the head hall master Lei Damage!
However, Di Fei's surprise question is not strictly speaking, but a self-question. Because unlike Yang Wuxie, Lei Zhen obviously does not have the extraordinary ability to never forget, and he can't answer unprepared and sudden questions nine times out of ten.
But Lei Damage doesn't get angry. Because he knew that for a brilliant person like Di Feijing, his question would never be untargeted, and since he asked it at this moment, he would definitely give the answer.
Sure enough, after a slight pause, after Lei Zhen digested the meaning of his words, Di Fei finally answered softly, in his nice voice.
"I can safely say that the contraction was far less than it is now. As far as I can see, after Shangguan Jinhong's death that day, Jing Wuming only made limited concessions, and only gave up more than 400 shop properties, more than 150 dart boards, less than 20 rudders, and less than 30,000 acres of land. In comparison, the strength shrunk brought about by Shangguan Jinhong's death is less than one-fifth of this time, which really can't help but make people feel suspicious. β
"Oh?"
Listening to Di Fei's explanation, Lei Yan couldn't help but stretch out his intact right hand and gently touched his bald head.
"It's strange to hear you say that...... But, second," Lei Yan stopped moving, looked at Di Fei and said in surprise, "What do you think this means?"
"This means that our previous thinking is completely wrong!" Di Fei said categorically, and then explained carefully.
"Back then, we all thought that the reason why Jing Wuming wanted to shrink his power was precisely because after the death of Shangguan Jinhong, the 'Money Gang' lost a rare super master in the world, and its strength fell from the first to the last among the seven major gangs, and it had to let the fat in the export save itself. But now it seems that this is simply an illusion of weakness - I can say with certainty that in the next five years, the 'Money Gang' has actually been hiding super masters, and if it weren't for the fact that our major gangs couldn't figure out the truth and didn't make a move in the end, I am afraid that we would have already bled on this stone. β
"Hmm...... Do you mean to say that ...... 'Money Gang' has always had super masters, and it was only in the last month that they finally left, so they had to shrink again?" Lei Cheng said in surprise, but the more he talked about it, the more he felt that this inference was extremely reasonable, but in the end, there was still a problem.
"So who do you think this hidden master is?"
Lei Zhen frowned and asked, but he didn't expect his second child's answer, after all, although there were few super masters in the world, they were by no means one or two, and it was not so easy to guess at all.
But to his surprise, Di Fei was surprised to answer this question. Not only did he answer, but he answered it categorically, and he didn't seem to have the slightest doubt.
"It's 'Western Poison' Ouyang Feng!"
Di Fei said in surprise.
"Although the evidence is not completely sufficient, I can basically be sure that the 'Western Poison' Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Jinhong should both be the 'Twelve Green Dragons' belonging to the 'Green Dragon Society', and after Shangguan Jinhong's death, Ouyang Feng should have been sent to the 'Money Gang' by the 'Green Dragon Boss' soon to rectify the gang for Jing Wuming, and he didn't leave until the recent Kanto Change. β
"Hmm...... There is a point in that. Lei Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and then frowned again, "But we didn't know the truth before, why did Jing Wusheng have to shrink his strength so much, occupy the territory like this, and wait for us to knock on the door to shrink again, but why not?"
"Maybe it's because," Di Fei said in shock, "Jing Wuming has other important things that need to be protected more than the territory!"
"Huh?" said Lei Qiqi, "what do you mean by that?"
"Hall Master, I don't know if you have ever thought about why Jing Wuming has always appointed himself as the 'deputy gang leader' of the 'Money Gang', instead of succeeding him as the 'Money Gang Leader'?" Di Fei said slowly, as if sorting out his thoughts, "Now most of the people in the rivers and lakes think that this is Jing Wusheng's emphasis on love and righteousness, and they are unwilling to steal the name of the old gang leader, even after Shangguan Jinhong dies, they still respect him as the master of the 'Money Gang'." β
"There is no doubt that this is definitely a reasonable answer, but is this really the case?" Di Fei raised his eyes in surprise, looked at Lei Shen with a little difficulty, and said cautiously, "Could it be that the reason why Jing Wuming is the 'deputy gang leader' is because the 'Money Gang' gang leader is actually someone else?"
"This ......" Lei Yan couldn't help but muttered for a moment when he heard this, "Is this possible?If I'm not mistaken, Shangguan Jinhong should have only one son, and he has already died at the hands of Jing Wuming......
Speaking of this, Lei Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Di Fei in shock.
The two men looked at each other and saw the affirmative answer in each other's eyes at the same time.
"It seems that this matter really needs to be investigated......" (to be continued......
