Feng Jun walked out of the dark alley in the west of the city. He couldn't help but speechless when he saw Liu Shen's regretful expression. He asked with a smile: "How is it?"
"Pity…"
"Pity?"
"yes…"
Liu Shen nodded slightly and said with a pointed smile: "Ten taels of silver, even my deed of betrayal could not be redeemed half a year ago. Isn't it a pity that such a lovable person cannot be used by us?"
"Ah…"
Feng Jun also smiled knowingly when he heard this and said with emotion: "Everyone is like this. If you have pursuits, you will have obsessions. Once people have obsessions that are difficult for others to understand..."
He clucked his tongue twice as he spoke, as if he couldn't think of any words to describe it. He laughed and said, "It's not an exaggeration to say that his words and deeds are lovable."
"I have to thank Hall Master Feng for helping me this time."
Liu Shen smiled and said, "If Hall Master Feng hadn't introduced him, I wouldn't have known that there was such a wonderful person in our small Heyang County."
"You're seeing someone outside, aren't you?"
Feng Jun waved his hand indifferently, and then seemed to have thought of something, and warned seriously: "By the way, it seems that spring has already begun, and you have to get some refreshment from the work at the dock."
"I know, I know..."
Liu Shen smiled and complimented: "Those who are able work hard. I have Hall Master Feng sitting at the entrance of the hall. When I come back after I finish handling this matter, I will share the worries with Hall Master Feng."
He has been a porter at the dock for five years, and has now been the deputy leader of the Qingsha Gang for some time. He knows that the beginning of spring and after the autumn harvest are two special periods every year...
It can even be said that all the gangs along the canal will be on tenterhooks during these two periods.
The reason is that after the spring and autumn harvests, it is the time when Cao Yin Cao grain from various places in Daqian goes northward!
That is the royal food of the imperial court!
If something goes wrong somewhere, all the local officials, big and small, will have their heads tied to their waists, not to mention the Jianghu gangs who rely on the canal for their meals...
In the early years, when the Cao Gang was not yet large-scale, the Jianghu gangs along the canal were called Jianghu gangs, but in reality most of the activities they committed were water bandits.
Since he was a water bandit, there were naturally bold people who had tampered with the imperial food.
The ending for such people is mostly the reunion of the nine clans.
Later, the water bandits along the canal also learned the lesson and came ashore. In addition, the Cao gang gradually grew in size. It became mainstream to collect safety taxes from merchants at the dock. However, no one has done such stupid things for a long time...
"You'd better serve some snacks, kid."
Feng Jun saw that he didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and said with emotion: "Now that our Cao Gang is under the coordination of the leader, it has become more and more powerful in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that millions of people are supported by the food and clothing. The court seems to have noticed this in the past two years."
He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice when he saw no one around, "It is said that in the past two years, in the counties along the canal, Tai Sui Secretary of the imperial court can be seen frequently, and they seem to be looking for something. This is not a good sign..."
"Tai Sui Si..."
Liu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this...
He knew that the "Tai Sui Division" that Feng Jun mentioned was the most powerful department in the Daqian court, bar none!
Under the Daqian court, there were three divisions: Taisui Division, Qintian Division, and Du Commander Division.
Among these three divisions, Qintian Division is the seat of Daqian's imperial master. It has a transcendent status but does not care about worldly affairs;
The Capital Command Department is the representative of the major martial arts groups in Daqian in the capital, and has power in its hands;
Tai Sui Si, on the other hand, has the imperial power. Not only does he have the duty to supervise all officials in the court, and has the power to kill first and report later, he also has many eyes and ears in the world...
In the city of Kyoto, there are even proverbs such as "A child cries when he hears Tai Sui stop" and "Sitting in Tai Sui's house, there will be misfortune if there is no blessing", which is enough to illustrate the great power and fame in the hands of Tai Sui!
Such a national weapon is not located in Kyoto, but frequently appears in the prefectures along the canal. It is indeed not a good sign...
"Hall Master Feng, don't worry..."
Seeing Feng Jun's worried expression, Liu Shen comforted him and said, "Even if the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up. It's useless for us just to worry about it."
"Too…"
Feng Jun took a long breath of relief and saw that he was almost back to the hall. He smiled and said, "You can find the place in Yushan. You can negotiate the rest with him yourself."
"How can we let Hall Master Feng worry anymore?"
"You kid, just don't forget my business..."
"Hall Master Feng, don't worry!"
Liu Shen patted his chest and promised: "When I come back from this trip, I will ask the young lady to keep an eye on her. I will arrange a marriage for you and find a rich wife."
"Hahahaha~"
The two of them joked a little and then returned to their residence.
After this trip, Liu Shen relaxed his mind. After returning to his residence, he no longer had any worries and began to practice hard.
He can feel that the second level of martial arts is within reach, that is, it has only happened in the past few days!
In the following days…
In addition to his daily practice, Liu Shen would either go to the Song family to have a relationship with his young mistress, or he would go to the black alley in the west of the city with wine, vegetables and eggs, pick up toon tree buds from Yushan's house, and stir-fry side dishes with wine.
Yu Shan was originally a taciturn person, but when he saw that his already bald toon tree had become even more bald due to his destruction, he couldn't help but shout, "Put less," "That's enough," "That's enough." "One plate is over", "Don't kill it" and so on.
That expression made me feel so distressed...
Another day…
A carriage entered the city leisurely from the south gate, with a lean groom driving the carriage and horses, and two middle-aged men riding horses to accompany them.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
The middle-aged man accompanying the carriage on the left side seemed to be entering the city for the first time. He looked around and couldn't help but be speechless and said with a smile: "I heard that the Jianghu gangs in Heyang County were unified by the Qingsha Gang, which is strange."
"I came to Heyang County six or seven years ago..."
The people accompanying the carriage on the right side also echoed: "At that time, the Qingsha Gang was just a small, low-income family. I never thought that in just a few years, it could grow to the point of swallowing up the Chishui Gang. Then The person named Ning is a capable person."
"I've seen Ning Hongwu, who looked like a fool."
The lean coachman on the carriage sneered and shook his head, saying, "The real strength of the Qingsha Gang should be his sister, the Iron Lady."
"That bitch is indeed a ruthless person. She beat that old guy Zhang Wanxuan so hard that he fled for dozens of miles. He still doesn't know where he is hiding to survive..."
"And I heard that that girl is already close to the fifth realm at such a young age. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don't know which hero can control such a wild horse."
"..."
The middle-aged man accompanying the carriage on the left side chuckled and winked and joked: "Boss, aren't you approaching the Fourth Realm? Why don't our brothers change their jobs and join the Qingsha Gang? Maybe someone will take their fancy, boss." Since you hugged me so beautifully, we can also have a sip of soup, right?"
"Ahahahaha~"
The middle-aged man who was accompanying him on the other side also smiled knowingly. His posture was so wretched and so wretched...
"Be careful!"
The lean man on the carriage saw the two people talking and joking unscrupulously, and reprimanded in a low voice: "This is their territory, and our trip is equivalent to taking food from their mouths. If someone with a heart listens to it, it will cause trouble."
He hummed softly as he spoke, and then said with a slight movement of his eyes: "The Song family should be in front of you, you two, please pay attention!"
After hearing this, both of them stopped laughing, nodded and said: "I know..."
Just as the three of them approached and stopped in front of Song's house, several people wandering on the street looked at each other. After the leader winked, one of them quietly slipped away...
