Chapter 418: 19
301 "The court held them accountable for this, and the officials in the north killed hundreds of people. They also found that the Zoroastrian rebels had a lot of weapons. Three months ago, Prime Minister Tuotuo issued a direct order to strictly investigate the smuggling of ironware. If local authorities fail to control ironware and are found to have smuggled ironware into the Zoroastrian sect, the officials will be exiled at the least and executed on the spot at the worst!"
"In the past three months, seven Darughachis in the north were dismissed on the spot, three were directly executed, the county magistrate killed twelve, and even the prefect killed three. Under such high pressure, all officials in Daqian are in danger."
"Everyone is frantically trying to prevent ironware from being transported north from their own territory. Under such circumstances, you still dare to say that the young master sold pig iron to the Zoroastrians. If the Darughachi finds out, you will be the first one to be killed!"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss…"
Old Monster Liu touched his head and said, "It's so serious. How did you know all this, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Mosheng opened his fan and said, "The imperial court report."
"Is that the waste paper you bought from the government office at a high price?"
Old Monster Liu looked at Bai Mosheng, and the corner of Bai Mosheng's mouth twitched. As the leader of a gang, couldn't he read a book?
He is the only one who treats the imperial gazette as waste paper. Doesn't he know that the things recorded on these waste papers are life-threatening?
But he didn't say much, after all, he was the gang's white paper fan and had to protect the gang.
I have to say here that the court bulletin is originally secret, but these days it is not difficult to get these things if you have money. Bai Mosheng spends 500 taels of silver every month just to buy the bulletin. Old Weird Liu says that he has money but nowhere to spend it.
Old Monster Liu said, "Then we will just ignore the Zoroastrianism?"
Bai Mosheng heard this and said, "It's not that we don't care, but we can't care. We can't even touch the three words Zoroastrianism in the future. By the way, gang leader, you have to go to the Darughachi Mansion today."
"Ah, didn't you say that I can't tell the Darughachi about Zoroastrianism? Then why did I go to the Darughachi Mansion?"
Bai Mosheng said: "Go and give Lord Darughachi a suggestion!"
"suggestion?"
Old Monster Liu frowned slightly: "What suggestions?"
Bai Mosheng said: "Shut down the Beishan Iron Mine!"
"What??"
Old Monster Liu's eyes popped out. "What did you say? Close the Beishan Iron Mine? Are you crazy? The Beishan Iron Mine accounts for one-third of our Cao Gang's income. If we close the Beishan Iron Mine, we brothers will starve!"
Hearing this, Bai Mosheng looked at Old Monster Liu and said, "Boss, I know this decision is a little crazy, but it must be closed, otherwise you will get into trouble sooner or later. If you close it now, not only can you get out of this situation, but you can also leave a good impression on Lord Darughachi. If Lord Darughachi forces you to close Beishan Iron Mine, it will be a different story."
Old Monster Liu narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Mosheng and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Mosheng said: "I read in the latest court bulletin that the court is arranging inspectors to inspect the local areas. They are almost at Huangzhou Prefecture. If they reach Huangzhou Prefecture, then the Darughachi and his men will be within the inspection scope of the inspectors."
"I read in the court reports over the past three months that this inspector has captured three Darughachis from the Mulan tribe all the way south, and one was beheaded for colluding with Zoroastrians and selling pig iron and other military supplies."
"I think Darughachi has been thinking about this recently, and is now considering how to issue orders to you and Nanba Tianxia. In fact, Chen Jiusi is smart. He stopped the mining of Beishan Iron Mine early on. Now, anything related to Zoroastrianism has nothing to do with him, which is the safest thing."
"And now if the gang leader proposes to shut down the Beishan Iron Mine, then you are equivalent to saying what the Darughachi wants to say. How can the Darughachi dislike you and respect you?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu asked, "But what about the gang's income?"
Bai Mosheng said: "If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. In fact, the one who suffered the most loss is Nan Batian. His fishing gang is even worse than our Cao Gang. Beishan Iron Mine takes up one-third of our income, while Nan Batian's fishing gang can even take up to one-half."
"We did this, although we suffered heavy losses, but we also lost 180% of our own lives and killed 1,000 enemies, so we made some money!"
Bai Mosheng said to Liu Laoguai, who looked solemn after hearing this. After a long while, he took a breath and made up his mind: "Okay, if you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch the wolf, and if you don't sacrifice your wife, you can't catch the gangster. I'll fight him!"
Bai Mosheng: (⊙o⊙)… (The gang leader is indeed very talented in writing~)
Old Monster Liu said, "But before I go find Darughachi, I have to catch this bastard Gu Qingfeng first. If he gets away, I won't be able to sleep or eat well!"
After hearing this, Bai Mosheng said, "Boss, let's not rush. Send someone to notify Gu Qingfeng first and tell him to come to the headquarters for a meeting. Keep him stable first! If he dares to come, capture him right here. At the same time, let's go to his villa and block him. Don't let him get away!"
Old Monster Liu said, "It still has to be Mr. Bai. I'll follow your advice."
"Okay, then, I'll send someone first. Gang leader, gather the troops and let's go capture Gu Qingfeng!"
"good."
Old Monster Liu agreed immediately.
…
At the same time, in Gu Qingfeng's villa.
"Master, everything is ready."
Gu Qingfeng said, "Well, it's a pity. I have lived in Mianshui County for so many years, but I never thought that I would end up losing everything because of one careless move."
After hearing this, the butler behind him stopped talking.
Gu Qingfeng said: "Pack your valuables, call the guards, and take the young master away first."
"Ah, sir, where are the six ladies?"
Gu Qingfeng said: "I have power, money, and strength. I can find any woman I want. All women should stay with me."
"Ah, sir."
Gu Qingfeng said: "We are fleeing and can't bring too many things, so don't bring useless things."
"This, is it, sir."
The housekeeper responded, and Gu Qingfeng said, "Okay, you guys go now."
As Gu Qingfeng was speaking, he saw a Cao Gang member riding a horse not far away. He dismounted and said, "Master Gu, the leader wants to discuss matters with you."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at the man, then smiled and said, "Oh, OK, tell the gang leader that I'll be there in a minute."
"Well, if the Hall Master is alright, I will send him back to the gang."
After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng showed a sneer on his face, and then he stepped on the tiptoes and disappeared on the spot.
"Master Gu."
Swish!
Click!
The Cao Gang disciple who was delivering the message had not yet reacted when he suddenly felt there was someone behind him. He only had time to shout before his neck was broken.
Gu Qingfeng then mounted his horse and said, "Gu Zhong, take the young master and his valuables and head east to Lin'an Prefecture to wait for me."
"Ah, sir, you?"
Gu Qingfeng said, "Haha... I want to stay and have some fun with them. Haha, I, Gu Qingfeng, am a big shot in Mianshui County. It would be bad to be driven away without any reason. You guys go first."
"yes."
Gu Zhong responded immediately and took his guards to escort the young master away.
Gu Qingfeng turned his horse and headed west, and the west was where the Fisherman's Gang and Nan Batian were located.
After Gu Qingfeng had been gone for about half an hour, Old Monster Liu and the others arrived. They saw an abandoned manor and a few stupid women. Gu Qingfeng had already disappeared.
And the most infuriating thing is that Gu Qingfeng also left him a letter.
[From Mr. Liu]
[Old Monster Liu, I know you have come to arrest me, and I also know that you know my affairs, but now that you know, I am not afraid, and I do not regret doing so.]
[You ungrateful bastard, you must have forgotten that it was you and me who helped you get to where you are today. When no one was optimistic about you, it was me and my brother Gu Qingshan who helped you build your career today. For your career, my brother died in battle, but how did you treat me? ]
[I was only assigned to be the Ghost Hand Hall Master, and my status was even lower than that poor scholar Bai Mosheng. I don't accept it, I have complaints! ]
[But even so, I can tolerate it. What I cannot tolerate is that you are actually going to deprive me of the Beishan Iron Mine for the sake of your unpromising son. Why, why? ]
[How could that little jerk Liu Song bear such a heavy responsibility? You actually ignored our original feelings for him and took away my foundation. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.]
[It's a pity that Chen Jiusi is causing trouble, otherwise I would have killed that little loser in your family a long time ago. But don't worry, we'll see. One day, you will regret what you did today! ]
[Finally, Old Monster Liu, I wish you no offspring! ]
"ah!"
When Old Monster Liu saw the letter, he became furious. His eyes bulged out, and he roared, then broke a stone pillar that a man could hug with one palm.
"Gu Qingfeng, I'm going to kill you!"
Old Monster Liu roared, and at this time Bai Mosheng also looked at Xin and said, "Boss, Gu Qingfeng has escaped. It will be difficult to catch him. We can only take a long-term view on this matter. Our top priority now is to hurry to Darughachi Mansion."
Old Monster Liu looked at Bai Mosheng and said, "This beast has done so many things, and I am going to let him off so easily?"
Bai Mosheng said: "Boss, you can kick him out of the Cao Gang first, take back the Ghost Hand Hall first, and then make a long-term plan. Unless he escapes from Mianshui County, he will not be able to escape."
After hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "I am really pissed off. Back then, the Gu brothers were looked down upon in the gang, but I didn't despise them and nurtured them. I never thought that he would treat me like this. It's simply murderous. I wish I could slap him to death with one palm."
Bai Mosheng said: "People in this world often take others' kindness for granted and regard others' efforts as a habit. The gang leader has no choice but to do this."
Old Monster Liu sighed and said, "Forget it. In this case, I will go to the Darughachi Mansion."
…
White Tiger Hall!
In the inner hall, Chen Jie was shirtless, and Su Yunjin was cleaning Chen Jie's wound with freshly brewed strong liquor.
The wife's eyes were misty with tears at this time. She looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, are you in pain?"
Chen Jie said: "It's okay, come."
Chen Jie said something, and then Su Yunjin held a large jar of wine and poured white wine on Chen Jie's wound to clean it.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"
The white wine washed the wound, and immediately all the blood and pus flowed out. Under the flushing of the white wine, Chen Jie's wound gradually turned from black to pink.
Chen Jie was gritting his teeth in pain, with a slightly ferocious expression.
"Brother-in-law, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!"
Seeing his brother-in-law in so much pain, Xiao Douding immediately ran over, stuffed the candy in his hand into Chen Jie's mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, eat a piece of candy and the pain will go away."
Chen Jie's forehead was covered with cold sweat at this time, and the maid Cui Ju beside him immediately took a wet towel to wipe his sweat.
Chen Jie stretched out his right hand and touched the little bean's head and said, "Well, it's okay. Brother-in-law, the pain will go away after eating the candy."
As Chen Jie was speaking, Su Yunjin brought over a cotton ball and carefully cleaned Chen Jie's wound. When the wound was almost cleaned, Su Yunjin reached out and took the prepared medicine from Hongmei's hand.
Then sprinkle it evenly on Chen Jie's wound.
This wound medicine was specially prepared by Chen Jie. Its main function is to help blood coagulation and disinfection. It is very useful.
Su Yunjin then carefully sprinkled the wound medicine, and then used gauze to help Chen Jie bandage the wound. These were all learned by Su Yunjin from Chen Jie.
Su Yunjin is really strong now and looks like a mistress of the family. She said to Chen Jie: My husband, if you are destined to live on the edge of a knife, then I want to be someone who can help you.
