In the early days, due to Wu Fatian's ruthlessness, the Salt Gang did not set up the position of deputy gang leader at all. He had the final say in everything, and the western gang leader was just a yes man.
Now that the Salt Gang is leaderless and without a strong leader, it has naturally aroused the covetousness of other forces.
Coincidentally, in order to face the immediate crisis, the leader of the West Hall summoned all the salt gang leaders to discuss countermeasures.
"Wang Sheng, you still want to be a gang leader just because you look so wretched, and you don't even pee to show off your appearance."
"Ye Laosan, you still have the nerve to talk to me. Look at your livid complexion and sluggish steps. It's not certain whether you can get up from Xiaohong's bed tomorrow morning."
"What did you say?"
"Just tell me what's wrong with you."
What was originally a meeting to discuss countermeasures turned into a noisy meeting between the Western leaders competing for the leadership of the gang. They usually only know how to flatter Wu Fatian, but they have no real abilities.
"Okay, don't make any noise."
"Ren Bei, what are you pretending to be? You think you want to take advantage of us just because of the bad water in your belly."
"That is, he is not even a grandmaster, but he will come up with some bad ideas to annihilate his descendants, and he plans to be the master of our brothers."
Ren Bei did not expect that he would be targeted by the two of them when he tried to break up the fight. He hurriedly asked the middle-aged man on the side for help, "Master Bao, please say something."
However, Bao Laowei'er picked up the tea bowl in front of him unhurriedly and tasted the tea carefully. It seemed that all the disputes had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, a young man wearing a mask walked in from outside, followed by two tall old men.
This is the headquarters of the Salt Gang, and the scene is full of prominent figures in the gang. There will naturally be gang members guarding the outside, but no one came to report the sudden appearance of the three people.
As if thinking of something, Ren Bei hid himself among everyone.
The young man didn't seem to notice Wang Sheng and Ye Laosan who were arguing. He passed them first and sat in the position of the gang leader. The two old men naturally stood behind him.
The young man is Tu Fengsan, and the two old men are naturally Xuan Ming.
When he heard the news about the Salt Gang gathering, how could he let go of such a good opportunity and rushed over immediately.
I also admired Shen Luoyan even more in my heart. It was precisely because of her persistence that it became easier to control the Salt Gang. If a new gang leader is elected today, it will be very difficult to win over the Salt Gang in the future.
"Boy, who are you? You can sit in this position too!"
How could Wang Sheng, who aimed at being the gang leader, allow others to sit in this position? He had never sat in it himself.
As soon as Wang Sheng finished speaking, everyone in the hall felt their eyes blurred. Luzhangke appeared in front of Wang Sheng and hit him on the chest with his palm. Wang Sheng flew out of the hall and landed on the ground. There was no breath in the courtyard outside.
Tu Fengsan did not speak, but naturally crossed his legs and glanced sharply at the people in the hall. However, no one of the leaders of the Salt Gang dared to look at him and lowered their heads one after another.
Only then did Tu Fengsan say with satisfaction, "I am your new gang leader. Does any of you have any opinions?"
Ye Laosan asked cautiously, "Hero, you are not from our Salt Gang? How can you be our gang leader?"
Just after saying this, Ye Laosan also flew out, landed in the yard, and lay next to Wang Sheng.
No one saw clearly how Luzhangke took action, but everyone knew that this was a master, a master they could not fight against.
"It doesn't matter. If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them. I'm still very open-minded."
Tu Fengsan continued to encourage everyone to express their opinions, as if he didn't see his men killing people at all. This calmness made people even more frightened.
Everyone looked at the two corpses lying in the yard and complained in their hearts, "You call this enlightenment! We only have one life! Who dares to have an opinion?"
"Since everyone has no objections, why don't you come and meet the new gang leader?"
Under the intimidation of Luzhangke, all the leaders of the Salt Gang came to the center of the hall and knelt down on one knee, "See the gang leader!"
"Which one is Bao Laolan'er and which one is Ren Bei?"
Tu Fengsan named two more people.
Ren Bei, who was originally hiding in the crowd, could not kneel down in front of Tu Fengsan under the gaze of everyone. Instead, Bao Laowei'er knelt down next to Ren Bei calmly.
Tu Fengsan looked at them with interest, pointed at Ren Bei and said to Bao Laowei'er, "Kill him."
Without any hesitation, Bao Laolian took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into Ren Bei's heart. Ren Bei fell into a pool of blood with a pair of unbelievable big eyes.
"From today on, the Salt Gang is no longer the Salt Gang it used to be. If you dare to commit crimes, these three people are your role models."
Although Tu Fengsan's words were brief, the three corpses lying on the ground were very convincing.
The reason why he kept Bao Laowei'er was because he had a good reputation in the Salt Gang and had high prestige.
In the past, he had only done some wrong things due to Wu Fatian's lust, but he had not committed any obvious evil deeds. Only then did Tu Fengsan decide to give him a chance.
"These two are the left and right guardians of the gang, and their status is only lower than that of the gang leader."
"See the two guardians!"
Tu Fengsan introduced the two elders Xuan Ming to everyone.
"Bao Laolan'er still holds the position of hall leader. Other vacant hall master positions will be promoted as appropriate based on everyone's performance."
Tu Fengsan's words immediately ignited everyone's enthusiasm. In the Salt Gang under Wu Fatian's rule, even your great abilities cannot compare to the merits of flattery.
If the new gang leader can really "reward according to merit", everyone thinks that changing the gang leader might not be a bad thing.
Tu Fengsan looked at the changes in front of him with satisfaction. He knew that the entire Yan Gang had finally returned home, and he had initially completed his plan.
As long as it is managed well in the future, the Yan Gang will become the "money bag" of the "Chu Ming Group".
The changes in the Salt Gang naturally attracted the attention of other forces, but now everyone has no time to take care of this, because everyone's eyes are focused on Gushe Mountain outside Hedong City.
It is said that the tomb of a strong man has recently appeared in that area.
Warriors from the Song Dynasty began to gather in Hedong County.
Chu Ming returned to the Yamen after the New Year holiday and met He Jian.
"Master Chu, I haven't seen you for a holiday, and my face looks much rosier."
Chu Ming calmly looked at his serious nonsense, and He Jian was also defeated in Chu Ming's calm eyes. Since going to the Chu Family Restaurant to pay New Year greetings on the first day of the new year, he has led his brothers to fight in the autumn breeze almost every now and then. The frequency of their meetings is no less than in the past.
"I heard that a treasure was discovered in Gushe Mountain outside the city."
He Jian started to change the topic at the right time.
"Treasure? That's also related to the imperial court. Why are you so excited?"
"You scholars are just pedantic. I heard that this is the tomb of a strong man, and it is likely to have advanced skills. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more warriors in the city recently?"
"Then you are happy. If this trend continues, the public security situation is expected to be not optimistic. I'm afraid you will be busy again."
After saying that, he ignored He Jian who had just figured this out, leaving him alone in the wind and messy, and returned to his office.
"He Jian's attitude of watching the excitement is not like a disguise. It shows that the tombs of the strong men in Gushe Mountain are not their target. This also confirms my previous guess."
Chu Ming secretly analyzed He Jiancai's performance in his heart.
He hoped that the increasing number of warriors would not cause him any trouble. After all, he had never seen a warrior at the level of a Martial King, and he didn't know if the "Breathing Concentration Art" could be hidden from them.
Life goes on in peace.
There are more and more warriors in Hedong County, and even great masters who are rarely seen on weekdays have begun to appear frequently. Some people have even claimed to have seen King Wu.
You must know that King Wu can see the Emperor of Song and refuse to worship him. He is a legendary figure. It is said that the current King Wu of Song Kingdom is only as strong as one palm.
As more and more warriors entered Hedong County, the entire city also entered a tense atmosphere.
The streets are full of outsiders wandering around casually, and there are endless cases of drunkenness causing trouble.
What's more, when many warriors who had grievances met, they started dueling in the downtown area without caring about the lives and deaths of the people around them.
The loss of control of public security in Hedong County also shows the current lack of local control by the Song Dynasty court.
As expected, Chu Ming's words hit the mark, and He Jian is now the busiest person in the yamen.
However, their effect is extremely limited, and most of them are responsible for cleaning the scene.
Only when the troublemaking warriors left did they dare to come forward to clean up the mess and appease the people. Even so, they had been working non-stop for several days.
"You really hit the mark. Not only are my brothers and I as tired as the third grandson every day, but we also risk offending the innate warriors. It can be said that we have our heads on our belts. We are really Risk your life!"
"Didn't the county magistrate promise to give you a salary increase?"
"Is that salary worth risking the lives of our brothers?"
Although He Jian kept complaining, he still had to do the work that needed to be done.
"How's your restaurant? No one's looking for trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu is an experienced man, so he will be able to deal with warriors who are lacking in brains."
"I always feel that you are criticizing Sang and Huai. You literati have the worst minds."
"I'm here to help you scold those lawbreakers who use force to break the law, so don't think too much about it."
"You should reduce your activities on the street recently. Your current status as a court official cannot deter the group of desperadoes outside."
Chu Ming listened to He Jian's advice and reduced the number of times he went out. However, he unexpectedly verified the extraordinary power of "The Secret of Breath Condensation".
The news in Hedong County finally alerted the Song Dynasty royal family. The uncle of the current Song Emperor, who was also one of the only two strong King Wus in the royal family, led the team to Hedong County and stationed in the county government office.
He also failed to discover the identity of Chu Ming warrior.
