In addition to Zhang Zhongjian, the Jiangnan League also has five deputy leaders, one of whom is named Chao Tian.
On this day, Chao Tian returned to his house and entered the back hall decorated like a Jiangnan aristocratic family. He sat down and thought about what was discussed today. As he was thinking about it, his daughter-in-law, with her long hair disheveled, rushed out from the side door like a madman, mouthing He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Aye, Aye, you are finally back!"
Although Chao Tian is a ruthless character who kills people without blinking an eye, he is the son of a declining aristocrat in the south of the Yangtze River and has very strict requirements for his family. When he saw his daughter-in-law wearing Yanju uniforms that could only be worn in private rooms and with her hair untied, he He frowned and scolded: "Why did you run out like this? It's really unbecoming!"
Before he finished speaking, his daughter-in-law knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Aye, Aye, A Chou is gone, A Chou is gone..."
"What?" Chao Tian jumped up in fright, and asked in a trembling voice: "Why is A Chou missing? Please explain it to me clearly."
Chao Tian was already over sixty years old and had many wives, concubines, and daughters, but he only had one son. It was not that he could not give birth to a son, but that he had many enemies, so many of his sons were killed or poisoned before they were minors. The only one who reached adulthood was The son was hacked to death during a fight with other gangs the year before last, leaving him with only a grandson named A Chou.
He used to follow Zhang Zhongjian's father to develop in Yangzhou, and he was considered an elder among the elders of the Jiangnan League. He was mainly responsible for running ships. He spent ten months every year between Daxing and Yangzhou. Thousands of brothers in the league returned to He mobilized, and his real power was enough to compete with Zhang Zhongjian. However, his ideas came into serious conflict with Zhang Zhongjian, Shen Faxing and others. He believed that gangs should look like gangs and should not be too involved in officialdom. The power of officialdom can be used, but they should not deal with behemoths like the Yuan Clan and Yuwen Clan. Senior officials Never participate in the game between gangs, otherwise, they will be the first to die. Zhang Zhongjian and others have the opposite idea. They believe that if the gang wants to become bigger and stronger, it must make friends with these big shots and help these big shots. The more things big people do and the greater the rewards, the more control they have.
The conflict of ideas made Chao Tian, an old-timer, ostracized. At the beginning of the year, a serious dispute broke out between the two parties. Zhang Zhongjian, in a rage, took over half of the power in Chao Tian's hands.
Chao Tian was loyal to the Jiangnan League, and one can imagine the sadness in his heart. Considering that he was isolated by the young people in the gang, he was getting older and could no longer bear the hardship of traveling, so he wanted to see his precious grandson often. , simply handed over all power and concentrated on Daxing.
Now that he heard that his grandson was missing, a surge of blood rushed to the top of his head, and the muscles in his cheeks trembled suddenly. He yelled at his daughter-in-law fiercely: "Is A Chou missing? Say it, say it quickly!"
When the daughter-in-law saw her father-in-law looking like he was about to eat someone, she was so frightened that she did not dare to cry. She knelt on the ground sobbing and replied: "Ah, I taught Ah Chou to read the Three Character Classic and explained to him the Three Character Classic." The character's loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, later he clamored to drink iced plum soup, and I was afraid that other people's hands and feet were unclean, so I had to do it myself and let the wet nurse watch. When I came back, the wet nurse was unconscious from the medicine, and A Chou and he Gone, wuwu..."
This is also the helplessness of the mafia family. Although the young and old of the family live a life of being superior to others, they also live in fear every day. Not only are they worried that their enemies will come to kill them, but they are also afraid that their enemies pretending to be servants will poison their food. poison. Therefore, although they are the masters, they have to do many things by themselves. A Chou is the only male in the Chao family, and his safety is taken more seriously than other children. Although there are some servants arranged by Chao Tian around him, the food must be provided by his mother.
With a "bang", Chao Tian slumped down on the couch and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. As soon as he heard what his daughter-in-law said, he knew that the other party's goal was not the five-year-old child, but him.
His grandson is his only weakness. If the other party asks for money, he is willing even if he is asked to spend all his family wealth. I am afraid that the other party is here to seek revenge. If the other party comes to seek revenge, then exterminating the Chao family is undoubtedly the best way to make myself miserable and make life worse than death.
"Alang!" At this time, a confidant who died strode in from outside and reported: "Aniang, Young Master, Young Master..."
Chao Tian rushed over like a tiger, grabbed the dead man by the collar, lifted him up, and asked in a trembling voice: "What's wrong with A Chou?"
He stared at the dead man, fearing he would hear some bad news.
The dead man pointed outside and replied: "A few people brought Young Master back from the outside."
Chao Tian suddenly turned his head to look, and saw a majestic middle-aged man with a strong waist and a strong back. Surrounded by more than a dozen dead soldiers, he walked over without fear, with a pair of bright eyes and bright eyes. The cold evil spirit. Behind them were two extremely burly female men. Although they were women, they were powerful and stout. Even among the thousands of Jiangnan League thugs, few had such builds. One of them holds a thick and long demon-conquering vajra in his hand, while the other holds a demon-conquering vajra in his right hand and holds a four or five-year-old male doll in his left hand.
The male doll has a three-piece hair style, with a bunch on the forehead and a bunch on each side. He is extremely cute. He is holding a porcelain bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand. He is dipping syrup from the porcelain bowl and eating it. It's all over the face.
This was Chao Tian's precious grandson A Chou. When he saw his grandfather and mother from a distance, he shouted happily: "Yeah, mother..."
The tall and burly woman knelt down and gently put the child on the ground, and the child ran towards Chao Tian on her short legs.
"Ah Chou!" Chao Tian dropped the dead man in his hand, ran towards the child, hugged him tightly in his arms, and excitedly gnawed on his precious grandson's syrup-covered face.
The horror and panic when the grandson disappeared, and the joy of surprise and joy when the grandson was found came one after another. The ups and downs of emotions made the deputy leader almost faint.
"Can we talk? Leader Chao." The big man asked.
After all, Chao Tian is an old lord who has been in charge of the Cao Gang for decades. Chao Tian quickly regained his composure. After hearing this, he handed his grandson to his daughter-in-law and asked him to take his grandson back to the back hall to marry him. He asked the woman in a deep voice: Said: "Where did you come from? Isn't it too unethical to hold a child of several years old hostage like this?"
"Moral justice? What qualifications do you have to talk about morality?" The big man strode forward and stopped two feet away from Chao Tian. He looked at Chao Tian with cold eyes, as if looking at a small ant: "This great Sui world , any ordinary person is qualified to talk about morality and justice, but not you thieves who kill people and steal goods."
The big man said like ice: "Since we can take away your grandson silently and dare to return it to you openly, we can still take him away next time. Leader Chao, if you want your precious grandson to grow up safely, Da, you’d better be more knowledgeable!”
"I don't know what to call Zun He? Is there some misunderstanding?" Chao Tian felt awe-inspiring in his heart. The moment this man approached, he felt creepy, and a bone-chilling chill rose directly from his vest.
He was a ruthless man who killed many people, and he was particularly sensitive to people who had killed others. He could immediately tell that this person was a general, or that he had been a general.
It's just because the evil spirit, arrogance and aura of a superior person in a big man can only be possessed by a general who has fought a hundred battles. Although they, the Jianghu people, have killed countless people, they will not be so majestic.
However, this person is definitely just an errand boy, so the person who can send this person is either a military family or a top official.
Thinking of this, Chao Tian groaned secretly in his heart.
He has been traveling between the north and the south in these years, paying no attention to the affairs of the Bashang headquarters. Many things done by Zhang Zhongjian and others were deliberately concealed from him, so he only knew that Zhang Zhongjian and others helped the powerful to assassinate political opponents, but who specifically killed and provoked He didn't know which big powerful people or powerful forces had been involved.
And this was precisely the reason why he was most worried and opposed to Zhang Zhongjian's close contacts with powerful people.
"If I don't tell you, I will scare you to death." The big man said coldly.
Chao Tian pondered for a long time, and then ordered to his dead soldiers: "Go down, keep your mouth shut, and don't let any news out, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
After finishing speaking, he raised his hands to the big man and said: "This good man, please come to the study to talk!"
"No need! Just say it here." The big man stood still.
"Forget it." Chao Tian had no choice but to wait until all the dead soldiers had retreated, then asked: "What do you want me to do? Betray the Jiangnan Alliance?"
"Absolutely!" The big man said to Akita: "But what we want to do has no conflict with your personal interests. We know very well what you are thinking. It is just to leave a huge family for your precious grandson. Karma; we also know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than fear that after your death, your young grandson will be killed by your enemies, which will wipe out your Chao family. So you want to retire, but you are also afraid that after losing power, your ancestors will be killed. Sun will die faster.”
"And we can not only give you what you want, but also solve your worries and fears, so that your family can live happily together like normal people. If you want to be a loyal minister of the Zhang family, then There’s no need to talk about it.”
Chao Tian thought silently for a while and then exhaled: "What do you want me to do?"
"Others say that Zhang Zhongjian is a lone thief, but we know that there is a big family behind him, and we also know who the specific people are..." The big man stared at Chao Tian and said, "This is a misunderstanding. We need you to draw up one. Check.”
Chao Tian cursed in his heart.
This person probably only knew that Zhang Zhongjian had a family, but didn't know the specifics of his family at all.
But what if?
What if you knew?
"You can have reservations, but we can learn from the other deputy leaders." The big man said.
"..." Chao Tian.
. . . . . . .
In a luxurious bedroom, all kinds of splendid ornaments all reflect the wealth of the owner. A beauty is sitting in front of the dressing table, with long black hair draped on a smooth and white jade back, and a thin rope behind her back. Wearing a lake blue bust to cover her breasts, and silk panties under her small waist, the beauty inside was stretched out to the fullest.
When Shen Faxing walked into the room and saw her enchanting appearance, he immediately raised his head in salute from his lower abdomen.
Shen Xingfa was born in the Shen family of Wuzhou. He was four years old this year. He was the son of Shen Ke, the governor of Guangzhou and the Marquis of Dongxing County in the Chen Dynasty. After his father Shen Ke died of illness, he inherited his father's title and became the Marquis of Dongxing County. When he arrived in Nanchen, he was captured by the Sui army. After the death of the emperor, the young Shen Faxing lost his title and had to return to his hometown to live.
Fortunately, Mr. Shen was the head of Wuzhou County from a well-off family, so he still lived a good life and received a good education. During the Kaihuang period, the late emperor abolished the Nine-Rank Palace Personnel Law and ordered every state in the world to select three talented scholars with beautiful articles to study in Beijing to take the Ming Jing Ke and Xiu Cai Ke.
Shen Faxing won a spot in the 14th year of the founding of the Emperor. Just when he arrived in Daxing City and was preparing for the exam with high spirits, he, a southerner, couldn't stand the northern climate. Soon he developed skin peeling, rashes and other symptoms, and finally even his eyebrows. It all fell out and looked exactly like a "leprosy" patient, leading him to think that he had contracted leprosy.
He knew that "leprosy" was like the plague, not only could it be transmitted to other people, but it was also an incurable disease. He didn't want to harm others, so in despair, he covered his head and ran outside the city to hang himself.
Because he looked strange and a grown man was running and crying at the same time, he aroused the curiosity of Zhang Zhongjian, who worked in the same store. He followed him all the way outside the city and found that he had hanged himself. Afterwards, Zhang Zhongjian not only rescued him, but also said that he was acclimatized. But Shen Faxing didn't believe it, so he commissioned Zhang Zhongjian to burn the body and then hang it up.
If Zhang Zhongjian rescues him again, he will hang himself again.
If Zhang Zhongjian rescues him again, he will hang himself again.
The two of them had sex like this, and this cycle ended only when Shen Faxing lost the courage to commit suicide.
Shen Faxing did not dare to die, but he still believed that he had leprosy, and still did not want to go into the city to harm others. Zhang Zhongjian thought that he was a good person, so he arranged for him to join the Jiangnan League. Later, his illness recovered, but he missed the exam.
At that time, the Jiangnan League was in a critical stage of development northward, so he stayed to help Zhang Zhongjian, who had saved his life, and the gang is now here; and he also changed from a simple boy to a member of the Jiangnan League with bloody hands. One of the five deputy leaders, although he has never killed anyone with his own hands, many Caoding members of the Cao Gang have lost their wives and families under his plans.
In the Jiangnan League, he is mainly responsible for the two major areas of accounting and dealing with the government, and has extremely powerful authority. The charming woman in front of him was his wife. Although she was from the Zhu family in Wuzhou, she was extremely beautiful and gentle in temperament. He loved her deeply.
Shen Faxing met with Zhang Zhongjian at dusk. The six of them discussed how to deal with the Xuanwu Gang. In the end, they agreed that as long as they could make friends with the temporarily lonely Yuwen clan, they must transport Yuwen's southern pig iron to Daxing in the shortest possible time. The more positive and 'loyal' you are now, the greater the rewards will be later.
Therefore, forcing the Xuanwu Gang, which has many veteran boatmen, to submit has become the top priority of the Jiangnan League. As long as this goal is achieved, any underhanded means can be used.
In the event that it is inconvenient for Zhang Zhongjian to appear, he will go to Daxing City early tomorrow morning to meet with the contacts of the Yuan family and the Yuwen family to double-check whether the Xuanwu Gang has a back-up. If the other party does not have a decent back-up, then they will While seizing the ship, they then attacked the families of the Xuanwu Gang.
As long as the old boatman's most cherished relative is in his hands, Wang Nianzu can be made to surrender obediently.
"Your husband is back?" Shen Zhu, who was taking off her makeup, saw the approaching figure in the mirror, and turned around with a smile. Before she could stand up, Shen Faxing hugged her and threw her in the spacious room. On the bed.
"Every time Mr. Lang comes back, he just wants to do that shameful thing." Shen Zhu's pretty eyes wandered, and she said coquettishly, seeming to be shy and timid.
"My family has a lot of money, but we need more children to make it worth it. I have no choice but to work hard for my wife." Shen Faxing laughed and jumped forward.
However, a slender hand, as white as jade, suddenly appeared. The moment he pounced on his beloved wife, it suddenly grabbed his belt from behind, making his body as if a spell had been cast, and his whole body was ready to pounce. The posture is suspended in mid-air.
Shen Faxing is a seven-foot-tall man, and he pounced forward with great force. However, the man behind him casually grabbed him and firmly fixed him into a position where his feet were on the ground and he pounced forward. This The arm strength is really amazing.
A clear female voice said with a hint of a smile: "I'm really sorry to disturb Alliance Leader Shen's joy of giving birth, but I wonder if Alliance Leader Shen has time to talk to me?"
"Who?" Shen Faxing turned his head in horror, but the other party let go of his hand in time, and only heard a "bang" sound as Shen Faxing fell straight to the ground.
The thing that was harder than the body, but formed an infinitely close right angle to the body, acted as a pioneer, thrusting forward through the pants to the ground.
It was hard and courageous, but it was a pity that it didn't have the penetrating power of the sun to penetrate the floor. When the two collided, Shen Faxing let out a scream, and then he crawled sideways on the ground, covering his crotch with both hands. He pushed his knees forward as hard as he could, and continued to cry for his father and for his mother while foaming at the mouth.
Shocked!
The sudden change shocked even Xian Yufang, who arrested and released people.
This beautiful girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes had a look of shock on her face.
Even though she was not a man, looking at Shen Faxing's appearance, she had the illusion of feeling the same, and she unconsciously tightened her legs.
