Most of the well-informed gangs know that a bad guy has come to East Street. He single-handedly overthrew the Iron Fist Gang and the Black Stone Gang, and is now leading a large group of elite gangs to sweep East Street.
Many gangs that were not strong enough for themselves or wanted to avoid their sharp edges left their strongholds, took their treasures, and hid them in pieces.
But there are also many big gangs. Although they don't want to cause trouble, they are not afraid of it. They gather gang members, distribute weapons, strengthen patrols, and are ready for war.
The atmosphere in the entire East Street is solemn, the trees and grass are all in uniform, and any disturbance can cause a ripple.
And Zhao Lei's team is getting bigger and bigger. There are many new gang members and some lawless strongmen. They are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they join Zhao Lei's team and start to cause trouble.
There were also some local ruffians who followed Zhao Lei's team to take advantage of the situation and robbed them. The entire East Street had become a mess.
Zhao Lei, who was in the eye of the storm, led his men along the street, knocking on doors one after another, until the first shop opened, hung the flag of the Iron Fist Gang on its door, and placed Full of treasures and reward food, Zhao Lei and the others let the shop go.
From here on, there is no stopping it. Businessmen are all about being friendly and making money, and are not willing to fight and kill, especially this kind of fight and kill without profit.
The territory of the Blood Knife Gang is rapidly expanding. Although the foundation is still unstable, the gang's flag has been planted. One-third of the entire East Street now belongs to Zhao Lei.
And Zhao Lei's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. In just half a day, his name, Blood Knife Zhao Lei, has already appeared on the records of big families such as the county magistrate and Qian Li.
But there are more words behind Zhao Lei's name that are dangerous, uncontrollable, and must be eradicated.
In their eyes, Zhao Lei is just a troublemaker who wants to destroy the order that they have worked so hard to maintain in order to avoid chaos in the world.
After Zhao Lei avoided several big gangs and families and divided half of the forces in Dongjie under his banner, some people finally couldn't sit still. They wanted to stop Zhao Lei's expansion even if they had the intention of offending Zhao Lei.
Because Zhao Lei has seriously affected their interests, although most of his previous choices were small gangs and some unprofitable places, and he also killed several medium-sized gangs, but next he will have to take action from their bowls. Looking for something to eat.
Most of Zhao Lei's territory is connected together except for a few pieces sandwiched between other gangs and isolated forces.
At this time, Zhao Lei's sphere of influence has been seriously saturated, and he does not have enough men.
It turns out that having too much territory is also a worry. He no longer has enough capable men to maintain these places.
Originally, Zhao Lei planned to occupy the entire East Street, but now it seems that he was too optimistic, and now trouble has begun to come to his door.
In the place occupied by the Blood Knife Gang, some scattered members of other gangs have begun to cause trouble inside, trying to take back their territory and force Zhao Lei away.
In addition to leading them to solve a few tough problems at the beginning, Zhao Lei divided his subordinates into several groups and started at the same time.
Although this method is much more efficient, it also has great disadvantages. Not everyone is as skilled in martial arts as Zhao Lei.
Except for Zhao Lei's road, progress on several other roads has slowed down.
Because several big gangs and families had already intervened, they sent many of their best players to stop Zhao Lei.
Although Zhao Lei and the others chopped off the heads of the gangsters they killed and hung them on the flagpole as a deterrent.
The effect was pretty good at first. They all gave in weakly and did not want to offend Zhao Lei. However, when they found that the more they retreated, the more Zhao Lei took advantage of it, the more they took advantage of it, so they no longer gave in.
Zhao Lei's hard knife had already cut into their flesh, so they had no choice but to unite to resist Zhao Lei.
In the evening, the other groups sent confidants to report messages, all of which were asking for help from Zhao Lei, claiming that they had encountered strong resistance, especially that the big boss of one group had their heads chopped off, and the entire group was killed and fled.
Zhao Lei looked at these letters and the defeated soldiers who had fled back. He understood in the wailing and whining that he had indeed taken a step forward, and these were the warnings given to him by those people.
They are warning Zhao Lei that you have crossed the line.
Especially when Zhao Lei and the others crossed the main street and reached out to the other side, the fighting intensity went up several levels.
Especially when Zhao Lei led his men to Qianji Trading Company, he saw those people openly setting up crossbows on the wall.
The other guards were all wearing shoulder armor and holding strong bows, waiting solemnly for Zhao Lei to come to the door.
These equipment almost blinded Zhao Lei. Are all the people in the imperial court free of food? Hiding a powerful crossbow armor is a major crime of disobedience and should be copied from family to family according to the genealogy.
Zhao Lei also did not expect that the majesty of the imperial court was already so weak in Pingyang City. With the money, food, strength and well-equipped soldiers and horses of the Qian family, once the Zhao Kingdom was in chaos, this would be a prince.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhao Lei actually heard the braying of horses inside the tall wall tentatively called the courtyard wall. These horses were paired with well-equipped men. They were not cavalry or something.
It is precisely because of such strength that Zhu Wei would do whatever it takes to curry favor with a steward of the Qian family. Otherwise, how could he be so condescending to a servant based on his official status in the imperial court.
Moreover, the Qian family would not cooperate with Zhu Wei if it were not for his official status. The Qian family also needs partners on the table.
Zhao State is still relatively powerful now and has relatively strong control over the core areas of the country. Naturally, the Qian family does not dare to act openly or do anything disobedient.
And people like Zhu Wei who have no heel are their first choice.
As for reporting the Qian family to the court, just kidding, there are so many families like the Zhao family in the Zhao family that secretly hide prohibited weapons. If they were all executed, the Zhao family would have become a swarm of chaos.
This was unimaginable during the old King Zhao period. During that period, the imperial court had very strong control over the entire Zhao Kingdom.
Things are different now. Zhao State is at war with neighboring countries everywhere and is already in a state of distress.
The court would only turn a blind eye to matters like the Qian family's that the officials did not investigate. If Zhu Wei exposed the matter, the court would only think that he was causing trouble for himself and looking for more trouble.
Doing this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, but now Zhao is on this path.
