This strange man is holding a Xiaoyao fan in his hand, standing on the bow of the boat and looking at the Huaijia Fort in the distance. Next to him, a fair and plump middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and relaxed. The man then turned around and asked the middle-aged man: "Uncle Qi, this Huaijia Fort is considered a treasure land of Feng Shui. Why was it given to the Huaijia back then?"
The middle-aged man called Uncle Qi stroked his beard and said, "Because it is a treasured Feng Shui land, we had to give it to the Huai family back then."
"Oh? So the Huai family's original power was really much more serious than ours." The strange man said with an interested expression.
"How is it possible? Even when they were in full bloom, they were only somewhat famous in the Jiangbei area. How could they really be in the eyes of our Salt Gang? It was just that they were special at that time." The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed. He squinted and seemed to remember something he didn't want to think of.
"Special? What's so special? Uncle Qi, tell your nephew, don't be like my mother, who always stops talking in the middle of a sentence." The man pulled the middle-aged man's clothes coquettishly. Sleeves, this move made the surrounding followers shudder violently.
The middle-aged man looked at him helplessly, and then whispered: "Do you know the gang that was alongside our Salt Gang?"
"Uncle Qi, are you talking about the gangs of those horse racing gangs? What are they called... Oh, by the way, they are called Sichuan Jockey Club! Uncle Qi, if you don't mention this, I can hardly remember it. What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with these coolies?" the man asked somewhat differently.
"It's not just related. Back then, the Salt Gang was almost destroyed by these cart pushers." The middle-aged man said with lingering fear.
"Oh, Uncle Qi, tell me quickly." The man said impatiently.
The middle-aged man smiled and continued: "Okay, I'll tell you."
"Back then, the president of the Sichuan Jockey Club was named Meng, and he was the second eldest son in the family. At first, everyone called him Meng Erzi, which actually seemed to be taking advantage of him. Because he kept shouting, everyone easily called him Meng's son. . After Meng Lao Er became popular, he cut into pieces all the people who had previously called him Er Zi. The method was extremely cruel. Of course, he didn't have the courage and means when he just ran to the dock from the countryside, so everyone called him Er Zi. , and he acknowledged it with a smile.
He was young and strong, and his foreman was generous, so he often had spare money. Once a man has spare money, he will either gamble or go whoring. At this time, Meng Laoer was only eighteen or nineteen years old. He couldn't stand the instigation of the workers next to him and left with his hard-earned money. Naturally, he lost all his money, and not only that, he also owed a huge debt to a casino. During that time, I was hiding in Tibet, and I couldn't do any work at the dock. Later, when he was really desperate, he ran to the gambling house, broke off three of his fingers in front of the gambling house owner, and confessed the matter. From then on, Meng Laoer seemed to be a different person, working hard while making money to pay off his gambling debts. If this person got here, he would have learned a lesson, and at best he would end up as an honest man.
But it was rumored that when he was twenty years old, he met a noble man who not only funded him a lot of money, but also taught him martial arts. It is unclear whether this is true, but since then, he seems to have changed. It's like spreading money and making friends. Among the gangsters, none of them were so generous. He started as the boss of a dock and slowly integrated the gangs. Gradually, a gang called the Sichuan Horse Club emerged. At the beginning, the Salt Gang only valued people who took boats. I didn't even think about what those Liba would become, so I didn't interfere. But by the time the old gang leader finally woke up, it was already too late. The Sichuan Jockey Club has already become a phenomenon and has encroached on a lot of the Yan Gang's territory.
Where there is competition, there will be fights, and lives will be lost. At that time, dozens of battles broke out between the Salt Gang and the Sichuan Jockey Club, each with its own winner or loser. Although the Salt Gang didn't have much upper hand, the family had a big business and it couldn't be shaken by the small Sichuan Horse Club. But at this moment, the old gang leader killed the goose that laid the goose to lay the eggs, and stopped operation for a month. Salt. As a result, before the Sichuan Horse Racing Club could hold on any longer, the government came to the door. An imperial edict almost killed the old gang leader, and because of this move, the Sichuan Horse Club completely gained the upper hand. "
"Oh? There is such a thing? Grandpa is really confused. He actually offended the imperial court for a few flies. What does that have to do with the three brothers of the Huai family?" The strange man interjected.
"Listen to me, at that time, the three brothers of the Huai family only had a slight reputation in the world, and were not considered big shots. But one day, they suddenly came to see the old gang leader with a secret letter. The old gang leader took the secret letter When I opened the letter, I was overjoyed at first, and then showed a look of reluctance, but in the end I assigned about a hundred young men to the three Huai brothers.
No one knows what the three brothers of the Huai family did with these people after that. However, according to the news, the three brothers of the Huai family also borrowed a hundred or so people from the Sichuan Jockey Club and gathered nearly 200 people together. , in the current Huaijia Fort, such a large fort was renovated. Regarding this, both the old gang leader and Meng Erzi remained silent.
From that day on, both sides ordered not to fight anymore. This gave the Salt Gang some breathing room, and this balance lasted for three years. But what no one expected was that one day three years later, Meng Erzi suddenly died suddenly. Since the Sichuan Horse Club had no boss, several leaders in the club each wanted to take power, and they slowly began to fight among themselves. The Sichuan Jockey Club declined. The second son of Meng died very suddenly. It is said that he contracted a serious disease and died without treatment. However, there is a rumor circulating in the Sichuan Jockey Club that several vice presidents of Meng Erzi conspired to murder Meng Erzi. No one knows which one is true. However, I heard that Meng Erzi was buried without a head, and the vice-presidents buried him with a porcelain head instead. After that, there was internal fighting within the Sichuan Jockey Club, and before the Salt Gang could take action, they slowly declined. "
After hearing this, the strange man said with some disapproval: "I thought this Meng Erzi was a tyrant, but it turns out he is just a reckless man."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and said: "You are still young and have not thought clearly about things. To put it bluntly, Meng Erzi is just a wild child from the countryside, and he is even addicted to gambling. What kind of things did he encounter? People promoted him to the throne of the president of the Sichuan Jockey Club. You have to know how difficult it is. If these Liba were so easy to unite, someone would have won them over. Then Meng Erzi can be considered a capable person. The man behind him People are even more powerful and unimaginable. But what is the purpose of that person? Could it be the Salt Gang? What did the three brothers of the Huai family say in the letter to the old gang leader? The old gang leader never let go until the day he died. Isn't this strange? . Where have those hundred or so brothers gone? After the three Huai brothers founded Huaijia Fort, those hundred or so brothers have not appeared again. Not only that, there is no news from the Sichuan Jockey Club that their brothers have returned. information.
Although Meng Erzi and the Sichuan Horse Club disappeared briefly, your father and I always believed that it was a conspiracy. However, there is no evidence, and since your father became the gang leader, I seem to think that he has become like the old gang leader. This time we were ordered to destroy the Huai family. Why? Your father didn't tell me either. Huai Chou is the only one left in the Huai family. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of our Salt Gang, he is just like a watchdog who can strangle him to death whenever he wants. But why does it have to be at this time? Don’t you think it’s weird? "
The strange man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "At this time? What happened at this time? Does Uncle Qi have anything to say?"
"According to the news, Tianjisou, the master of Yashan Tianji Sect, is in the Huai family. Huaichou released the news early in the morning that the Huai family was interested in his nephew and wanted to give the Nine Dragons Soul-Chasing Gun to their family. In the past few years, they have relied on this half The true and false news has actually subsided a lot, and those enemies really didn’t dare to touch his family. But counting the days, Huaichou was talking about this period of time. If Tianjisou is really in Huai’s family, then we The Salt Gang has caused a lot of trouble. I told the gang leader over and over again about this matter before I set off, but your father just smiled bitterly and asked me to do it, as if there was something unspeakable. This thing is weird. We learned from the old gang leader It was like being led by someone on a string, doing something irresistible. We were forced by the gang leader to destroy the Huai family, and I vaguely felt that the gang leader was being forced by others to destroy the Huai family. The one who suddenly appeared Sichuan Jockey Club is more like a puppet, which is discarded after others have used it."
After hearing this, the strange man shook his head and said: "Uncle Qi is too worried. I dare not say anything about others. As for our Salt Gang, unless it is the emperor, who can make my father obey his orders? If it is really Sichuan The Jockey Club is just a tool, a puppet, and the people behind it are too generous."
"I hope Uncle Qi is overly worried. I always feel that something will happen if we wipe out the Huai family this time." The fat middle-aged man said to himself
