The strong man was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Zhan with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Hey, this sir, is he planning to ask for your life for the people?"
Gu Zhan was about to speak when he was stopped by Chen Fei on the side. He hurriedly smiled and said to the strong man: "Oh, Hall Master Liu, there is a misunderstanding. This is our new Xiaoqi. Gu Zhan Mr. Zhan Gu, he has just taken office and is not very familiar with the rules of our place. If he offends me, please forgive me!"
The strong man snorted coldly and said, "If you don't know the rules, learn them well. Are you trying to show your authority even before your hair has grown? Colonel Chen, please teach this official the rules!"
"Yes Yes!"
Chen Fei hurriedly pulled Gu Zhan with a smile on his face. He ignored the hidden contemptuous looks of the civilians around him and said in a low voice: "Sir, we cannot afford to offend this group of people."
Gu Zhan frowned and said: "The Great Xia court has not yet fallen, but the dignified Jinyiwei can actually be ridden on the head by a few ruffians and shit? What is the origin of the Tianshui Gang, and the Jinyiwei can't afford to offend it?"
Chen Fei sighed and said: "Sir, it's not that Jin Yiwei can't afford to offend him, it's that we can't afford to offend him. If it's an ordinary small gang, we Jin Yiwei can fight and arrest them if we want."
As he spoke, Chen Fei pointed to the strong man and said, "But that man is not an ordinary gangster, he is Liu Hong, the leader of the Tianshui Gang.
But this Tianshui Gang is not simple. It is the largest gang in our southern city, with thousands of swordsmen. In addition, do you think that someone with such power in the city can have such a bad official background? They need people and background, how can we afford to offend them? "
Gu Zhan was also shocked.
The Water Gang is indeed a bit scary today.
Knife hand is a nickname, that is, the official gang members who have officially paid homage to the gang and are on the roster. There can be thousands, which means that there are at least tens of thousands of people who depend on the Tianshui Gang for their livelihood.
Being able to achieve this level, the official background of the water gang that day was definitely not bad.
"Sir, let's go!" Chen Fei whispered: "If I guessed correctly, it should be that the Tianshui Gang wants to expand the city here. As you know, this Mud Bottle Lane is next to Pinglefang, and Pingle The square is the territory of the Tianshui Gang, and if they want to expand, they must take over the Mud Bottle Alley."
Gu Zhan knew in his heart that this was probably a forced demolition.
In fact, Gu Zhan's guess was good.
It is true that the Tianshui Gang wants to expand the city and has its eyes on Mud Bottle Alley.
However, they encountered resistance from the civilians in Mud Bottle Alley, and the many poultry poisoning incidents that occurred in Mud Bottle Alley before were probably the Tianshui Gang's method to force these people to agree.
Previously, Cao Feng was in charge of this matter and was greeted by the Tianshui Gang. Naturally, Cao Feng did not dare to confront the Tianshui Gang, so he directly designated the matter as avian plague. In order to calm the matter down, Cao Feng also arrested a few Civilians leading the resistance.
However, these civilians in Mubo Alley were all born and raised here. The Tianshui Gang now wants them to move, but they have given them a very small relocation fee and have no intention of giving them a way to survive.
Therefore, even though I know that the government does not care about this matter,
The people of Mu Ping Alley organized themselves to resist the Tianshui Gang, and the main leaders among them were the three brothers of the Jin family.
Then, the three Jin brothers died.
This is also why the widow of the Jin family does not believe that Gu Zhan is here to investigate the truth, because all of them know that the three brothers of the Jin family were killed by the Tianshui Gang, and the Tianshui Gang did not hide any traces. There is a lot of evidence. Bundle.
Although Gu Zhan doesn't know the specific situation very well now,
However, he could guess the general direction of events.
Looking at the people in the Jin family yard and the desperate orphans and widows,
Gu Zhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart,
This ruined world leaves no way for people to survive.
Not to mention these people, even his predecessor, who still held an official position, was killed. What's more, these ordinary people, in this kind of world, there is no way to survive.
Realizing that the Tianshui Gang was something he couldn't afford to offend for the time being, he immediately turned around and left.
However, at this moment, the strong man named Liu Hong suddenly said: "Several officials are here, so we can't just leave empty-handed, right?"
Chen Fei asked hurriedly: "I wonder if Hall Master Liu has any other advice?"
Liu Hong pointed to the common people in the courtyard and said: "Several officials, there are many unscrupulous people here who have not repaid their debts. We have come to collect debts many times to no avail, so we have to ask the officials to make the decision for us!"
Gu Zhan's face darkened and he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Liu Hong kicked the filial woman away and said: "To be honest, I came here today just to see the officials coming to ask them to administer justice. If these unscrupulous people don't repay their debts, don't you officials?" Shouldn’t they be arrested?”
Chen Fei on the side said in a low voice: "Hall Master Liu, you are not following the rules. We have no control over what your Tianshui Gang wants to do. However, Jin Yiwei is not just for your food. How can you do things without asking us to contribute?" The truth?"
Liu Hong chuckled lightly and said: "You are the ones who don't do things after receiving money, and don't follow the rules!"
Chen Fei frowned and said, "When did we receive the money from your Tianshui Gang?"
Liu Hong looked at Gu Zhan and said: "It wasn't you who took it, it was Cao Feng who took it. However, before he could finish the matter, he was killed by Master Gu. Then Master Gu, who should I take credit for?" On the head?"
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "I understand now. You came to me specifically today, right? Why, are you planning to avenge Cao Feng?"
"Master Gu is joking," Liu Hong said, "I can't control the internal fighting among you Jin Yiwei, but my eight hundred taels of silver can't be wasted. Cao Feng promised to help me get things done, but in the end, , he was killed by you, Mr. Gu, what should I do?"
"Then you are out of luck," Gu Zhan said in a deep voice: "If I want to kill someone, do I have to first investigate whether the person has any relationship with your Tianshui Gang? I have confiscated your money and have no reason to do anything for you. Bar?"
"I don't care so much," Liu Hong said coldly: "I only know that my money has been given away. You have ruined a good thing, Mr. Gu. I can't spend this money in vain, so this matter can only be done by Mr. Gu. You come and take care of it, Mr. Gu, if you want to stay in Linjiang City, it’s best not to let my eight hundred taels of silver go to waste.”
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"You can understand it this way." Liu Hong said, "Or you can pay me back eight hundred taels. However, after including interest, it will be one thousand taels. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Zhan smiled slightly and said, "I think it's okay."
"Huh?" Liu Hong was stunned.
"I will send you to find Cao Feng to pay back the money!"
At that moment, there was a "clang" sound,
Gu Zhan suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath,
A ray of white light flashed past, and the sword struck Liu Hong's neck.
