Liu Shen's face straightened when he heard this, thinking to himself that what was supposed to come had finally come, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and said bluntly: "I guess the leader of your gang will not choose to kill me."
"oh?"
Feng Jun looked at him with his hands on his chest, and asked with a sneer: "You are a member of the Chishui Gang, and you violate the moral principles of the world. Why are you so sure that we will not kill you?"
"intuition……"
Liu Shen pondered for a while and explained: "And Hall Master Feng was wrong. I am just a porter who makes a living on the Chishui Gang dock, not a member of the Chishui Gang."
"My bond of betrayal is still with the Chishui Gang. The scum that killed Zhang Shichen can indeed be said to be the Devourer. I admit it!"
"Hallmaster Feng may not believe it. That night I was thinking of borrowing some money the next day, going to Chishui Gang to redeem the deed of betrayal, and find another way out."
"Everyone knows Zhang Shichen's character. I have wanted to chop him up for a long time! It's just that the incident happened suddenly and I didn't have time to redeem the deed of betrayal. So strictly speaking, even though I killed Zhang Shichen that night, I was suspected of devouring his master. , but it does not violate the moral principles of the world."
"..."
Feng Jun snorted coldly and asked: "Then your hands are still stained with the blood of our brothers from the Qingsha Gang. How do you explain this? Why don't we kill you?"
"I agree with this!"
Liu Shen nodded and said seriously: "My hands are indeed stained with the blood of people from your gang, but it is also because of the special circumstances that night. Your gang attacked the Chishui Gang at night, and the fire from both gangs affected Chi Yu. Hall Master Feng, if You are Liu Shen, would you choose to sit back and wait for death when faced with the situation that night?"
"I'm asking you now, not you asking me!"
Feng Jun was refuted one after another. He slapped the table in shame and asked with wide eyes: "Don't talk about this, I just want to know, why do you think we won't kill you!? "
"It's so intuitive..."
Liu Shen thought for a while and then explained: "The Chishui Gang has deep roots in Heyang County. Although it has been wiped out by the Gui Gang this time, someone still needs to take care of the underlying properties."
"And if your gang wants to quickly control the Chishui Gang's industries, they will definitely not kill all the Chishui Gang members. Firstly, there will be too many people killed and the government will not be able to pay; secondly, your gang will not be able to pay for it for a while. We can’t spare so many talents to take over all the Chishui Gang’s industries.”
"So I guess that your gang will most likely choose to kill a group of people to establish prestige, dismiss a group of people to establish favor, and then recruit a group of people for their own use after doing both kindness and prestige."
"I killed Zhang Shichen, the prince of the Chishui Gang, in full view of the public. It was considered as a surrender. If the people who signed such a surrender all died in your gang, how dare those from the Chishui Gang Will you switch to work under your gang?"
"So I guess your gang probably won't kill me."
Seeing Feng Jun nodding thoughtfully, Liu Shen grinned again and said: "And not only will he not kill me, he will also find me a job of some size and let me be a mascot in the Qingsha Gang. This is to stabilize the hearts of those who have defected to the Chishui Gang."
"..."
Feng Jun looked at him with slightly closed eyes...
But in my heart, I was already surprised. Could this kid have participated in today's celebration banquet? How could you guess everything about what a group of people were discussing?
"well said!"
At this moment, there was a burst of applause outside the door, the door opened, and a man with a beard who looked about forty or fifty years old clapped his hands and walked in...
"Two days ago, I heard from my sister-in-law that this little brother is a bit quick-witted and can survive in a dead situation."
The man exclaimed in praise: "When I saw him today, I saw that my little brother is not only quick-witted, but his overall view and courage are also unlike ordinary people's."
"..."
Feng Jun seemed to have expected it. After standing up, he introduced Liu Shen: "Boy, this is the leader of our Qingsha Gang, Ning Hongwu."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shen also stood up and saluted: "Junior Liu Shen, I have met Gang Leader Ning."
"younger generation?"
Ning Hongwu was slightly startled when he saw him calling himself a junior. After coming back to his senses, he rubbed his beard and asked, "Am I that old?"
"..."
Liu Shen blinked blankly when he heard this, and followed his words and complimented: "Not old, Gang Leader Ning looks to be in his early thirties, in his prime."
"..."
Ning Hongwu's expression froze, while Feng Jun on the side covered his mouth and coughed lightly, seeming to be suppressing a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, little brother, you have a sharp eye. Actually, I am over forty."
Ning Hongwu smiled and rubbed the whiskers on his face, then took out a piece of paper from his body and slapped it on the table, saying: "This is your contract of sale to the Chishui Gang. I have asked someone to change you to a good citizen. Whether you burn this deed of betrayal or keep it as a souvenir, it's useless anyway."
His voice paused, and then he said: "I heard from the people on the dock that you are literate and good at arithmetic. From now on, you will be the deputy hall master of our Qingsha Gang dock hall, and the workers on that dock will I’ll leave it to you to take care of.”
"..."
Liu Shen couldn't help but feel a little lost when he looked at the contract of sale on the table...
"Cough cough cough."
Feng Jun on the side coughed a few times, winked at him and scolded: "What? You can eat Caobang rice from the Chishui Gang, but you don't want to eat Caobang rice from my Qingsha Gang?"
"No no…"
Liu Shen also came to his senses, held up his hands and apologized: "Since the year I fled to Anqing Mansion at the age of thirteen, this deed of sale has been like a shackle around my neck. Now the shackles are suddenly gone, so I feel a little rude. , I hope Gang Leader Ning won’t blame me.”
"It doesn't matter..."
Ning Hongwu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Feng Jun will explain the rest to you."
He didn't seem to be in a good mood and left with a dark face after speaking.
"..."
When Liu Shen saw him walking away, he turned his attention to Hall Master Feng on the side and asked, "Our gang leader doesn't seem to be in a good mood?"
"yes…"
Feng Jun nodded and said pointedly: "You are obviously only twenty-eight years old, but you are said to be in your early thirties, and you are in your prime. That must be a bad mood."
When Liu Shen heard this, he was stunned and murmured in disbelief: "How old is our gang leader?"
"Twenty-eight…"
"How old are you?"
"I'm only in my early thirties, so..."
Feng Jun emphasized the word 'just' a bit too hard, and his face that trembled while suppressing laughter looked extremely weird.
"I……"
Liu Shen thought of that bearded face and couldn't help scratching his numb scalp...
With Ning Hongwu's dignified appearance, it was normal to say that he was in his forties or fifties. He said that in his early thirties, he was already suspected of flattering the horse, but he never thought that he would still flatter the horse!
He was silent for a while, and then sighed: "I thought I was old enough to be anxious, but I never thought that our gang leader would be even better than me!"
"Hahahaha~"
Feng Jun couldn't hold back his smile anymore when he heard this and laughed happily.
Liu Shen was a blessing in disguise. He didn't care whether he would be put in the shoes. Thinking of the heroic woman who rescued him that day, he asked: "Hall Master Feng, is the second in command you just mentioned the same old man as Zhang Wannian that day?" A strange woman who fights with ordinary men?"
"yes…"
When Feng Jun heard him mention the second master, he said with an air of pride: "The second master's name is Ning Sanniang, which is the sister of our gang leader. It's appropriate for you to say that she is a strange woman."
"The second master was taken in by a wandering Taoist to practice under him in his early years. Four years ago, he reached the four realms of Xiantian. After returning to Heyang County, our Qingsha Gang has the strength to compete head-on with the Chishui Gang."
"In the past four years, the second head of the family has made his mark in the world for the first time. He is called the 'Little Flying General' and the 'Iron Lady' by his colleagues in the world."
"There's no need to say more about the 'Iron Lady'. It's the second boss who earned her name with every punch;"
"The name 'Little Flying General' comes from the fact that there was a flying general Qin Feiyun in the Daqian court. Because she was a female general, her reputation spread widely both in the court and among the people. People in the world jokingly called us two masters. He is a flying general in the world, so compare with him."
"It's just that our second master doesn't like the title 'Little Flying General', and is even a little disgusted with it. Don't let this happen when you meet the second master in the future."
"..."
Liu Shen was fascinated by what she heard and couldn't help but admire: "What a wonderful woman!"
He thought of the heroic and strange woman who knocked Zhang Wannian away with one punch, and thought of the fact that it was because of her return to Heyang County four years ago that the Qingsha Gang held a banquet in Zuifeng Tower.
He raised his eyebrows and muttered: "In this case, didn't the second master save me twice?"
How to repay this...
"Don't think about how to repay..."
Feng Jun seemed to have read through Liu Shen's mind, patted him on the shoulder and warned: "There will be a celebration banquet tonight. Your boy and those who surrendered from the Chishui Gang have to go. Think carefully about how to push the bar then. , to avoid being humiliated under the table."
"..."
