Humane Yongchang

Chapter 144 Times have changed
Moon and night.

Dozens of horses galloped along the long, horizontal and vertical streets, shouting, "The county government has captured the traitor who assassinated the county governor, and every household will be closed, so don't panic!"

"The county government arrests the traitor who assassinated the governor of the county, and every family closes their doors, don't panic!"

Everywhere he passed, the dimly lit houses were dimly lit.

"Squeak."

A fenced window on the second floor facing the street was pushed open from the inside out, and a disheveled head stuck out from the window, looking in the direction where the soldiers were gone.

"Second brother Zhao, did you hear that, a traitor assassinated the county governor!"

someone speaks.

The disheveled head looked back, but it was Liu Zhong, who sold dates next door, who was looking out the window like him.

"Isn't it? A traitor who killed a thousand knives dares to assassinate a good official like the county governor who loves his people like a son!"

"Hey, I don't know if the county governor is injured!"

"No, the county governor, Jiren, has his own celestial appearance, so he will definitely be fine."

"I hope so, hey, the dog thief who killed a thousand knives, I just have some hope for these hard days!"

"How much corn did you buy?"

"It's not much, it's only about ten pounds... But it's enough to eat for ten days and a half months. It's not easy for the county governor. I heard that when Mr. Xiong was in office, he ruined the grain in the granary. It's over, the rations we eat now are all from the mouths of those big families who asked the grandfather to tell the grandma."

"Isn't that true? You said that when the family surnamed Xiong was the county governor, what kind of life did we live? After Mr. Chen became the governor, what kind of life did we live?"

"Let me tell you, those dog thieves who assassinated the county governor must have been sent by these big families in the county! They just don't want us poor people to be nice!"

"Do you think so too? We thought we were the only one who thought so."

"Hey, this is the truth, who doesn't know yet, it's just that the big guy dare not say it..."

The two Qianshou, who didn't know where they were after the last meal and the next, were talking about the important events in the county, but they all had a clear attitude, quite a bit "If I don't have three inches of iron, I will go into battle. Killing thieves for the county governor" was filled with righteous indignation.

Until a sturdy female voice came from behind Zhao Er: "thief man, get back and do things!"

Zhao Er shuddered when he heard the words, lowered the fence window under the narrow eyes of the neighbors, turned around angrily and said, "Do things, you know how to do things all day long..."

Liu Zhong leaned on the window sill, listening to the distant sound of horses' hooves, he sighed suddenly, and said in a low voice: "The county governor must be fine, otherwise, this day will be really impossible..."

He put down the fence window, sighed and went back to sleep.

What he didn't know was.

On the roof of his house, sat a burly figure wearing a black gauze cloak and carrying a three-foot long sword.

The burly figure held a jug of wine in his hand and drank it one by one, his eyes fixed on the stars rushing back and forth in the huge city, and he muttered to himself thoughtfully: "Without the governor, this Are the days going to be over?"

……

"Boom."

The vermilion copper-clad gate opened.

A group of county soldiers who were like wolves and tigers held torches in one hand and dazzling swords in the other and swarmed in, shouting: "Follow the order of the county governor, catch the traitors, and those who resist will be killed!"

"Follow the order of the county governor, catch the traitor, and kill those who resist!"

One after another in exclamations.

A figure dressed in rattan armor led two or three hundred trilogy, holding a sword and a gun to intercept the soldier in the front yard, and said angrily: "I see who has such a courage to dare to be presumptuous in my mountain and Yuetang!"

The surging county soldiers separated, Li You, who was wearing his helmet and armor, strode forward with his sword, and sighed across the confrontation between the swordsmen and soldiers: "Boss, your family colluded with Qu and Wu Mo to murder the county governor. , When it's released, let's capture it!"

The figure wearing the rattan armor saw Li You, his body trembled slightly, and he asked in disbelief: "Li, Li Shinee, why are you here?"

Li You looked at the trembling figure, turned his head unbearably, and said, "Boss, my little nephew has been ordered to cleanse Chen County and capture the traitor who murdered the county governor. Naturally, I am here. Please ask the boss to plan for his children and grandchildren. It is difficult for the little nephew to resist."

When the figure wearing the rattan armor heard it, he suddenly felt that the night in the cold dew season was like the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and the whole body was chilled.

But he still insisted and asked, "Nephew Li Shi, why did you come to this point?"

Li Youqing sighed and remained silent... Sir, times have changed!
"Tsk tsk tsk."

Just as he was thinking about how to persuade this stubborn Shanyuetang Patriarch of the Chen family to surrender and wait for the disposal, a yin and yang voice suddenly came from the army soldiers: "Eldest son, since this old man is your family friend. Elder, why don't we withdraw our troops, in the middle of the night, the brothers are hanging around here, why don't we go back to the camp and sleep!"

Li You fought a cold war, and suddenly realized his current situation, he didn't dare to show any sympathy anymore, he pulled out the long sword around his waist and swung it down: "Second or three sons, join me in taking down this man who murdered the county governor. Rebels, if there are any resisters, they will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

All the county soldiers shouted in unison and swarmed up.

In an instant.

Blood stains the night red!

……

Chen Qiu trotted into the hall, and with a glance, he found Chen Sheng sitting below the hall.

He walked in front of Chen Sheng in three steps and two steps, lifted Chen Sheng from the seat with one big hand, checked his parts up and down nervously, and focused on something unspeakable about him. Take a second look.

Chen Sheng instinctively folded his legs and said before he could speak: "Don't ask, Qingniang doesn't know about this yet, don't scare her!"

When Chen Qiu opened his mouth just now, he closed it again immediately, and then slapped his face with a backhand, with such force that the corners of his mouth were fanned with blood.

He let go of Chen Sheng, turned around and walked quickly to Chen Shou who was sitting in the hall, kneeling heavily in front of him: "Fourth brother, I'm useless, Dalang will take the tiger hall. Give it to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Shou had already stood up and forcibly pulled him from the ground, "Okay, a man in his tens of years old, still crying and dying, what does he look like!"

He grabbed his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of Chen Qiu's mouth, and reprimanded with a stern face.

At the end, there was a generous smile on his face, and he lightly patted his shoulder: "I heard Dalang say this, this matter is a joint effort between the noble families in the county and a school of death, that school of death is It's normal for people who specialize in this kind of business, you can't fight them, don't blame you!"

Chen Sheng also leaned over to warmly persuade and said, "Hey, don't take it to your heart, isn't it okay for me? It's normal for people to think that they have no intentions, and it's normal for you not to notice."

he knows.

For himself, Chen Qiu may just be a loyal and reliable subordinate.

But to his father, Chen Qiu was the siblings he had grown up with since childhood, born and died together, not like blood relatives, but blood relatives.

"Fortunately, Dalang, you are all right!"

Chen Qiu looked at Chen Sheng with extreme guilt, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, even if the old uncle shaves himself, he can't make up for your father, and he can't make up for our family!"

timely.

Zhao Qing wiped his hands on the apron and entered, and said with a wide-eyed smile, "Uncle Twelve is here, father-in-law, can the noodles be cooked?"

She was the only one who didn't know anything and was still happy that the whole family could come back for supper.

Chen Shou nodded: "Let's go to the pot, play two more chickens... Hey, it's a pity that your third master has not been in good shape recently, and he can't come back. He has been talking about this for a long time."

Zhao Qing said with a smile: "It's not easy for the third master to want to eat. Just rush tomorrow's daughter to go to Panlong Village with father-in-law and make a meal for the third master!"

Chen Shou also laughed: "Then his old man is beautiful. Go downstairs, beat more chickens and put more lard!"

"Hey!"

Zhao Qing responded with a crisp answer, turned around and went out in a hurry.

As soon as she goes.

The three big men in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Shou glanced at Chen Sheng and said, "When your mother was here, so did Lao Tzu. If you encounter an accident outside, and you haven't done anything with anyone, you'll be thinking that if you get hurt or kowtow, you'll come back. How should the family coax your mother!"

Chen Qiu also smiled and said, "That's because the fourth sister-in-law is saving face for you. She is such a smart person, can she ignore your little tricks? I don't even know how to tell lies."

Chen Shou: ...

Chen Sheng:  …

Both father and son suddenly felt that it was not easy for men and women to be born in a family like them.

The three were seated.

Chen Sheng took the lead and said, "Uncle Twelve, I invited you to come here today to discuss the future development direction of the Qinglong Gang with you."

Chen Qiu heard the words and said without thinking: "You don't need to discuss with the old uncle, you can do what you want to do!"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "After all, nephew doesn't care about the details of the gang, what I think of is not necessarily the most suitable for the Qinglong gang."

Chen Qiu: "That's definitely better than what a rude uncle could think of!"

"You listen to me first..."

Chen Sheng waved his hand, motioning him not to worry, and then said calmly: "Before our family had not become a county governor, and we didn't have enough strength, we could only go through the Qinglong Gang, catch them both in the open and in the dark. Grab it, it’s too soft to catch it!”

"There's nothing wrong with that!"

"If our family is only the Chen family, then the Qinglong Gang is our family's trump card to settle down in Chen County and compete with the Xiong family, Li family, and Wang family!"

"But now our family is already a county guard, and there are two soldiers and horses, the Red Army and the County Soldiers, totaling ten thousand people!"

"A little bit more about using knives and guns, our family doesn't need to use the Qinglong Gang's people at all."

"To be honest, it's useless to keep our family's connection with the Qinglong Gang."

"You don't need so many people, and it's a bit of a waste to spend money and food to support so many people!"

"You said, is this the reason?"

Chen Sheng looked at Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu nodded his head: "That's the reason, the old man has long thought, to take the White Tigers out of the hall and give it to the fourth brother, how can it be useful, but I'm afraid you will stay It's still useful to have that team, so I haven't mentioned it."

Chen Shengdao: "It was indeed useful to keep it in the past. According to my previous plan, the Qinglong Gang should be an independent force from our family's military system. A retreat from home, a team with independent and external development sites.”

"I always thought before that, when our family has completely sorted out Chen Jun's territory, we will use the Qinglong Gang as the striker and beat Chen Jun."

"But today's events reminded me of it!"

"The result of trying to grasp everything is often that everything is not grasped!"

"Chen County, whether it's official or secret, it should be my Chen family's territory!"

"But on our own site, I was ambushed and killed by three or four hundred foreign soldiers!"

"This is a shame for our family!"

He looked at his father and Chen Qiu solemnly: "Whether they do it or not, it is a shame for our family!"

Chen Shou and Chen Qiu also had gloomy faces.

Although the strength of fear has dissipated by this time.

But hearing Chen Sheng mention it again, the two of them still couldn't help but be angry!
If the group of dead men were really taught to make things happen today...the good situation of the Chen family would be over!
"Looking at the strength of the Qinglong Gang, is it really necessary?"

"Even if we need to use the Qinglong Gang in the future, with so many soldiers and horses in our family, can't we just transfer two or three thousand to the Qinglong Gang to work temporarily?"

"Furthermore, when our family didn't have so many soldiers and horses before, didn't our uncles also support Qinglong?"

"Now, our family has the entire Chen County as the backing. If we go to another county to copy the Qinglong Gang, it will only be simpler and easier."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qiu asked uncertainly, "Dalang, do you mean to pull out all the White Tigers in the hall, and the Qinglong Gang will only be responsible for trading and inquiring about news in the future?"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "What I mean is indeed to pull out all the white tiger teams in the hall and merge them into the red army, but it is not to let the Qinglong gang only be responsible for doing business and inquiring about news, but to let the Qinglong gang become a better than this. The 'Wu Mo' organization that assassinated me this time is a more professional secret organization!"

After a pause, he continued: "Take today's incident as an example, why did so many dead men sneak into Chen County, but Heihutang did not receive any news?"

"The reason is that they sneak in in batches with small targets."

"There were people in Chen County who provided everything they needed without touching the many industries controlled by Heihutang."

"Then what if we make the tentacles of the Black Tiger Hall wider and denser?"

"For example, Heihutang opened restaurants, post houses, and even farms on all the main traffic routes in and out of Chen County. It paid attention to and monitored everyone who entered Chen County, and then sent the news back to the headquarters of Chen County. The headquarters verify their whereabouts and whereabouts... If so, will there still be a situation where a large number of dead men sneak into Chen County, but the Black Tiger Hall has not heard any news?"

"It really doesn't make sense to keep the White Tigers in each hall. Is it possible to pool resources and train some high-caliber players?"

"Take Chen County as an example. If I need Heihutang to assassinate the patriarch of a certain clan without disturbing other aristocratic clans, do you think it is difficult?"

Chen Qiu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to do, it's very simple! If he likes walking around, let him fall to his death; if he likes visiting the Paradise, let him wind up immediately; if he doesn't like anything, he likes it. If you stay at home, you can think of a way to send someone to his house to poison him!"

Chen Sheng finally showed a satisfied smile, which is a bit like a gang boss!

"Then you say, if we can spread the rudders of the Qinglong Gang all over Yanzhou, and even the twelve states of Kyushu!"

"At that time, did we want whoever died, whoever died?"

"Is it possible that if someone wants to harm us, we can press him to death in the hut before he can do it first?"

He smiled softly.

In the smile, there is a bit of wickedness that gritted his teeth!
Yangzhou shepherd?
Wu Mo?

Is it a dick?
