Despite his partiality, Tu Fengsan's status and treatment will be guaranteed, but he also hopes to be able to show his talents.
After all, he is a very capable talent!
"Thank you, Luoyan!"
"It is Luoyan's duty to be able to share the young master's worries."
Now that he had made his decision, Chu Ming entered his wooden house with ease.
"Feng San, are you willing to go to Yingxia Lake to subdue the water bandits?"
"My subordinates will definitely live up to the young master's expectations."
Tu Fengsan did not expect that the task would fall on his head, so he accepted it hurriedly and happily.
Seeing Tu Fengsan with an excited look on his face, Chu Ming was also happy for him.
After getting up, Tu Fengsan cast his grateful eyes on Shen Luoyan.
He knew that he was able to obtain this opportunity because of the other party's contribution.
Although he believed that he was the best candidate to conquer the water bandits, he would not have gotten this opportunity without the young master's approval.
"Has the intelligence collection on the water bandits of Yingxia Lake been complete?"
"A series of information about the number of water bandits, the location of the water village, and the status of the bandit leader are very complete."
"We will have one more person making public appearances in the future."
Now the only person in the Chu Ming Group exposed to the outside world is Zuo Lengchan. Although the two elders Xuan Ming serve as the guardians of the Salt Gang, they wear masks all year round and do not show their true colors.
"Sir, after conquering the water bandits of Yingxia Lake, please tell me the name of the organization."
"Let's call it Zhenjing Hui."
"Yes, sir."
"To conquer the water bandits of Yingxia Lake, Tu Fengsan will be the main leader, with Li Xunhuan and A Fei assisting."
"I will build a powerful naval force for you in the short term."
"I believe in Bong San, just let it go and do it."
Chu Ming naturally had full confidence in Tu Fengsan's strength.
"It's a pity that we are currently short of manpower, otherwise now would be a good time to expand our strength."
Zhao Min was still a little unwilling.
Chu Ming smiled slightly but said nothing.
As long as the "little iron" is strong, there will naturally be no shortage of heroes entering the world.
About 1,500 water bandits gathered in the 800-mile Yingxia Lake. A small island in the center of the lake was their base camp.
Only the eastern waters of Yingxia Lake are deep water areas that can pass large warships. The other three directions are shallow waters and can only pass medium-sized warships and small ships.
Due to the dense and complex waterways, although the imperial court organized several encirclement and suppression campaigns, they were unable to achieve full success due to the constraints of the geographical environment.
This also indirectly fueled the arrogance of the water bandits. They believed that as long as they did not touch the core interests of the big forces and dispatched great master warriors, other people would not be taken into consideration at all.
There are ten bandit leaders in Yingxia Lake, all of whom are master warriors. The leader of them, "Black Faced King Kong", is said to be a master of Dzogchen, and is only one step away from the great master.
If he can successfully break through to the Grand Master, the power of the Yingxia Lake water bandits will definitely increase a lot, and they will compete with the Salt Gang who control Lishui water transportation.
On this day, the bandit leaders were gathering in the "Juyi Hall". Three people walked in from the outside. Except for the young man who led them, who showed his true face, the other two people beside him were wearing white masks.
The bandit leaders, who were already a little drunk, were a little unhappy when someone disturbed their mood.
"Where are the rats, hiding their heads and showing their tails, also coming to provoke the big men."
Lao Qi, one of the top ten bandit leaders, could not help but hold a big ax in his hand, and he struck at Tu Fengsan at the first opportunity.
Tu Fengsan didn't even move an eyebrow. The young man on his left waved his arm. Everyone felt their eyes blurred and heard a "clang" as the ax of the Seventh Bandit Leader fell to the ground.
His body as strong as an ox also fell to his knees, and he pressed his throat hard with his left hand, but he still couldn't stop the blood from flowing out.
Then, with his eyes bulging and his head bulging, he fell forward and never got up again, but there was more and more blood under his body. "The seventh master of Yingxia Lake killed a total of 52 innocent merchants and raped 61 women. They deserve to die!"
Tu Fengsan said this with a smile, but the temperature of the entire Juyi Hall dropped to freezing point.
Not only did the major bandit leaders lose their voices, but even the leaders and minions who were drinking and having fun together were too frightened to breathe.
"There are only three of them. They are so scared that they come with me."
The leader of the fifth master jumped up, and a dozen of his confidants rushed towards Tu Fengsan with him.
It was the young man wearing the white mask who took action. Everyone felt that he only thrust out one sword, but they felt that he seemed to thrust out countless swords.
Then they heard the sound of "crackling" weapons falling, and the fifth master and his confidants looked at the young man in despair, covering their throats.
"The fifth head of the Yingxia Lake family killed his wife, father and entire family over trivial matters in his early years. Since then, he has killed 112 merchants and raped 30 women. They deserve to die!"
Tu Fengsan then announced the charges against the fifth leader.
"Are you from the imperial court?"
"Do we look like people from the imperial court?"
Regarding the question of Black-faced King Kong, Tu Fengsan did not choose to answer directly.
"Since the three of you are not the eagle dogs of the imperial court, we can sit down and discuss any conditions."
Hearing that the other party was not from the imperial court, Black-faced King Kong finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to think of negotiating with the other party.
"Black-faced Vajra Du Hai, the bandit leader of Yingxia Lake, and a former bandit general of the Song Dynasty, offended the prince of the dynasty, and as a result, his whole family died tragically. You, who was the only one who survived, fled here to die."
Du Hai didn't expect that the other party knew so much about his experience. He was so shocked that he couldn't help but asked loudly, "Who are you?"
"We are here to rescue you!"
Tu Fengsan said something again that confused Du Hai.
"Although you yourself have upheld your conscience and have done no evil in these years, these brothers of yours have done a lot of bad things. As the incident goes on, it will be difficult for you to avoid collaborating with them."
Following Tu Fengsan's words, A Fei's sharp sword never stopped. When Tu Fengsan finished speaking, less than 10%25 of the people in the Juyi Hall who could still breathe were left, and the top ten bandit leaders were only There is only one black-faced King Kong left.
"From now on, I have the final say on Yingxia Lake. Who has any objections?"
After the Black-faced King Kong and the remaining water bandits looked at each other, they all wisely chose to join Tu Fengsan.
"From now on, there will no longer be water bandits in our Yingxia Lake. Our name is Zhenjing Hui, and we are an official Jianghu gang."
Regarding this, Black Face King Kong and the rest of the people will naturally not object. If there is a better choice, who would be willing to be a bandit.
After a period of adjustment and adjustment, Tu Fengsan has completely mastered this power.
Du Hai discovered that the mysterious new master's water warfare skills were still better than his own, and he couldn't help but become more and more curious about Tu Fengsan's true identity.
Originally, due to Luocao, Du Hai did not absorb his former members, but now Tu Fengsan's appearance has awakened his expectations for the future, and he has begun to extend invitations to his former members.
Due to Du Hai's previous prestige and the fact that many people sympathized with his plight, many navy soldiers from the former Song Dynasty came to defect to him.
Under the unified organization and training of Tu Fengsan, the strength of the Zhenjing Society is developing rapidly every day, and the prototype of a powerful navy has begun to take shape.
The mutual complementation of the Salt Gang and the Zhenjing Society made the water transportation in Lishui and surrounding areas completely controlled by Chu Ming. In this way, the busiest water transportation route in Song Dynasty became his personal possession.
It seems that winter has come a little early this year. It is only mid-October and the weather has already become very cold.
"It seems that we need to make more preparations for this winter."
"Fortunately, the sales of Chu's spirits are getting better and better, otherwise I really don't know where to raise money."
Looking at the biting cold wind outside the window, Chu Ming and Uncle Fu both looked sad.
"The imperial court's taxes have increased again. Shopkeeper Li's shop next door to us can no longer sustain it. I asked if I would be interested."
"We have been friends for many years. If you can help me, let's buy it at a price that is 20%25 higher than the market price. It can also expand the scale of the restaurant."
"The young master has a kind heart and will be blessed with good fortune in the future."
"Why are Uncle Fu and I still doing this business thing?"
Regarding Chu Ming's ridicule, Uncle Fu was a little embarrassed. He had to say, "It's not easy for Shopkeeper Li. He managed to train his eldest son to become a Jinshi and also obtained an official position in the capital. But he didn't enjoy this blessing for a few days. He said that his son was imprisoned because he was implicated by Shangguan. Shopkeeper Li wanted to raise funds to rescue his son. In addition, the world was not good, so he came up with the idea of selling the shop. "
Chu Ming also let out a long sigh. Now the third prince and the sixth prince in the court were fighting in full swing, and countless officials were implicated by them.
"Since the other party is in trouble, we can't just ignore it. Let's buy his shop at a price that is 50%25 higher than the market price. It will be considered as our share of the heart."
After a while, shopkeeper Li, who knew the news, rushed over. Although he had reached the age of "not being confused", he knelt down in front of Chu Ming one after another.
Chu Ming hurriedly pulled him up and comforted him, "Shopkeeper Li, it doesn't have to be like this. We are all friends, and it is natural to help each other."
"Master Chu is kind and kind. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to provide help when the time is right! Since Li suffered the disaster, he has experienced all the warmth and coldness of the world. All the friends who used to exchange cups and cups have disappeared. The brothers who are said to share life and death have tried all kinds of things. Excuses to avoid seeing. Only you are willing to truly help. Your kindness will never be forgotten!"
"Shopkeeper Li is overly praised. Human relationships in this world are like drinking water. You know whether you are warm or not! We acquired your shop to expand our scale, but it is not as good as you said."
Chu Ming blocked Shopkeeper Li's wish to elaborate further.
"Take the silver and go to Beijing as soon as possible to rescue your young master. This is the business."
Seeing Chu Ming's sincerity, shopkeeper Li stopped giving in. He took the banknote from Uncle Fu, handed over the house deed and land deed to Chu Ming, and braved the cold wind to head to the capital that night.
