Domineering

Chapter 443 The Sun Rises to the West Mountain (seeking Subscription for Monthly Pass)
Wan Fengqing, Gu Mingyue and others also entered the report one after another.

Wan Feng arched his hands lightly, and smiled coquettishly: "Banner Master, the robbery and murder case in Jiangnan County has been handled properly by Feng Qing. All the people involved have been arrested and dealt with one by one, which is a typical example! The money of the people involved in the case will be resupplied to all the damaged people, which can be regarded as an explanation."

This matter is related to the incident in Jiangnan County a few months ago.

Some people took advantage of the chaos to rob, murder and rob while the Yaozu and the Far Eastern Ice City entered the city.

Afterwards, there were still some people who mixed into the Iron Banner Gang.

Since Jiangnan County has been occupied by the Far Eastern Ice City, and the current energy of Bingcheng is on the Grand Canal to the east, it intends to open up the Shanyang Canal and support the main force in the north. pursue.

But Chu Xisheng was unwilling to let this matter go, let alone allow scum to mix in and tarnish the reputation of the Iron Banner Gang.

If a Jianghu gang like the Iron Banner Gang doesn't want to become a gangster with mixed fish and dragons, then they can't make any compromises from the beginning.

He had to stand upright and hang his sword over the heads of all the gang members in order to make these powerful and rebellious warriors obedient.

Gu Mingyue replied blankly: "It has been done in Liyang Town, and all the extra fees collected by Liyang Branch from merchants and people have been refunded. Gu also whipped 37 senior management members of Liyang Branch for [-] years. , the head of the Liyang sub-rudder took the blame and was transferred, and another virtuous person was chosen to take over."

The Iron Banner gang also collects protection fees, otherwise how would they support this large number of gang members?

But as long as they collect money, they will not allow the government to oppress them at will, nor will they allow their employers to deduct wages, and they will not allow Jianghu Wuxiu to bully them.

The protection fee that Chu Xisheng received was also very low, about one-thirtieth, or even one-fiftieth of the salary.

In Chu Xisheng's view, this is more similar to the nature of a trade union.

This time Liyang split the helm, and charged nearly five times more protection fees.

They, Laughing Kuanglong, Dan Xuefei and the others completed their tasks fairly well, and their methods were far gentler than those of Ba Tianlai and Feng Liancheng.

This made Ba Tianlai and Feng Liancheng frown slightly.

Among these few people, that's all for Dan Xuefei, and the rest of them don't seem to have the same number as them.

Kuang Jian Feng San nodded slightly, quite pleased.

This task, several people have completed it very well.

Their handling can be said to be just right, without being too cruel, without implicating innocent people, but it also deterred the local gangsters and had the effect of learning from past mistakes and avoiding future ones.

He felt that these fellow villagers and comrades in Kunlun Mountain still saved him a lot of face.

The Lord may have mistrusted them.

Perhaps these township party members really came here to change the destiny of the Kunlun Mountains people.

In today's world, the only one who hopes to free the Central Plains people from the sea of ​​suffering is the Wuji Saber Lord.

Chu Xisheng was very satisfied.

His fourth-grade phaseless secret ritual was actually completed in this way, and the quality is still very high.

A feeling grew in his heart.

Chaos is indifferent, without phases and faces.

Chaos refers to the state of being in a blur before the world is opened.

——In the past, when the two instruments were not separated, they were called Hongyuan.Ming Mo Menghong, shaped like a chicken, is called Chaos.

The same is true for the fierce beast 'Chaos'. The fierce beast 'Chaos' has no seven orifices, and its interior is also a piece of chaos.

It is said that when the energy of chaos in the body of 'Chaos' stabilizes, takes shape, and the moment the seven orifices are exhausted, this 'Chaos' will die.

The "Phaseless Skill" of Wuxiang Shenzong is derived from the characteristics of the moment when the chaos is about to divide.

It can evolve into anything, and when you look at it from different angles, it will have a different sense.

"They all did a good job, especially Wan Fengqing, Gu Mingyue and Laughing Kuanglong. Their methods are fierce, but they are measured. Feng San has sent me a letter before, and he is full of praise for you."

Chu Xisheng first nodded to the three of them with a gratified expression, and then turned to Ba Tianlai and Feng Liancheng: "Of course, the two of you have completed the task very well, and you should credit one of them. The fly in the ointment is that both of you Some innocent people were involved in the mission process.

Take the Pan family for example, many of the servants of the Pan family are local people, and they were all injured by the guardian Feng this time.Of course, fighting in the rivers and lakes should not be taken into account too much.

But I still hope that Guardian Feng will pay attention to the methods next time. The Pan family is not our life and death enemy, and those people are also very innocent. "

Feng Liancheng's eyes suddenly darkened slightly.

He heard the meaning of Chu Xisheng's beating.

But what he cared most about was what Chu Xisheng said earlier.

——Feng San sent me a letter before, full of praise for you.

He looked sideways at Kuang Jian Feng San, Wan Feng Qing and the other three, with a hint of speculation flashing in his eyes, and a little coldness.

Feng Liancheng wondered when did these four people hook up?What is the reason?
Ba Tianlai also lost his mind.

The situation before him was different from what he had imagined.

He thought that most of these people in the hall were coming for Chu Xisheng's head, but now it seems that may not be the case.

While the wind was light, Gu Mingyue and Xiao Kuanglong looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes.

'Blade Sword' Feng San, indeed they gained Chu Xisheng's trust, and it was a good step for them to get closer to Chu Xisheng.

Dan Xuefei also frowned.

In fact, her task has been completed very well.

Dan Xuefei is doing her best.

Chu Xisheng seemed to have forgotten her and ignored her.

"There are still 43 missions in the torture hall, either involving fourth or fifth rank martial arts, or involving local local forces, you can assign and choose by yourself."

With a flick of his hand, Chu Xisheng handed out the few files in his hand.

He is bold and heroic: "I hope that you will get these as soon as possible. After six days at the most, I will call all the halls and all the sub-helms to help people go west along the Shenxiu River to Feizhou.

At that time, there will be a big battle between my gang and the upstream "Shuitianhui".Therefore, the many chaos in the gang must be cleared up as soon as possible!The rules and regulations of the Iron Banner Gang must also be remembered by the people below. "

When everyone in the hall heard the words, they were stunned for a while, and looked at Chu Xisheng in great surprise.

Tie Xiaosheng immediately got up to express his objection: "Banner owner, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate! Our Tie Banner gang is not stable now, and the forces of 'Shuitianhui' and 'Qingfengmingyuelou' are deeply entrenched. opportunity!"

Lu Jiuli also felt that something was wrong, and he looked calm: "Banner Master, if it's just the 'Shuitianhui', that's all. The people of those aristocratic families are not in harmony, and the mob is in disarray. The problem is the 'Qingfengmingyue Tower', and they will definitely not sit on the wall and watch . Once these two sides come to blows, I worry that we will not be able to hold on."

He thought that although the Shuitianhui was powerful, it was not difficult to deal with.Fighting with the Iron Banner Gang is like rookies pecking at each other, and they are all mobs.

And even if they lose this battle, they can return to Dongzhou safely.

With the ingredients and characteristics of the 'Shuitianhui', they cannot expand downstream.

But the 'Qingfengmingyuelou' is a real formidable enemy. The [-] members of his family are all well-trained and have practiced the secret methods of the emperor's way.

If it weren't for the imperial court's continuous suppression and restraint, the 'Qingfeng Mingyue Tower' might have occupied several provinces.

"There is no need to worry about the Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. I have already communicated with the 'Mingyue Sword' Situtang and his wife, and we have reached a tacit understanding."

Chu Xisheng smiled, confident: "Not only will they sit and watch our Iron Banner Gang swallow the 'Shuitianhui', but they will even help secretly."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised again when they heard the words.

Wan Fengqing looked puzzled: "Banner Master, may I ask why this is? Does the Qingfeng Mingyue Tower have a reason for raising tigers and letting us sit on the big one?"

Gu Mingyue's delicate face was full of suspicion, and she also cupped her hands: "Everyone knows the truth of the lips and teeth. Mingyue Dao Situtang is also considered a hero, how can he be so unwise?"

"Under normal circumstances, they would definitely prevent us from entering Feizhou. However, the situation is different now. The army of the Ice City in the Far East is fighting against the imperial court along the Grand Canal."

Chu Xi's voice was meaningful: "So now they urgently need an opponent, and they must have a certain weight. Do you know why?"

Everyone frowned when they heard the words, and then they were thoughtful.

"What the Banner Master means is that after Qingfeng Mingyue Tower has a comparable opponent, it can be used as an excuse to resist the imperial court's enlistment?"

Tie Xiaosheng's eyes brightened slightly: "Indeed, the Far East Ice City and the imperial court are now fighting fiercely near the Grand Canal. There is no reason for the imperial court to use the power of the 'Qingfengmingyue Tower'. But if they are involved If you enter, you will be ground to pieces."

But if at this time, the forces of the Iron Banner Gang had reached the mouth of the canal, the situation would be different.

"It's more than that!" Wan Feng looked at Chu Xisheng's eyes with a little admiration: "With the Iron Banner Gang as the enemy, Qingfeng Mingyue Tower can justifiably expand its power around. "

"Just like the wind says!"

Chu Xi said in admiration: "Actually, this principle is similar to our Iron Banner Gang."

This is like the modern Microsoft, in order to avoid unpacking due to monopoly, it cultivated Apple single-handedly.

"So our current enemy is only the Shuitianhui! This time I am going east to Feizhou, I want to organize eight soldiers and horses based on the new recruits, led by the Dharma protectors.

On the one hand, this opportunity can be used to evaluate the helpers; on the other hand, it can also give the newly promoted children a chance to make meritorious service, which can be used as a capital for future promotion. "

Chu Xisheng looked forward to the prestige, and looked at the hall like a dragon and a tiger: "It can also be reported to the gang that there are a total of twelve counties in Feizhou, and apart from the four north counties occupied by Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, eight counties can be built. In addition, in the west of Feizhou, the "Hanzhou" in the upper reaches of the Shenxiu River also has three counties.

In total, there are eleven branch halls and more than 200 branch rudders.The master of all divisions and rudders, the higher the merit, the better!And those members of the "Water and Sky Association", if they dare to resist, or if they are rich and unkind, they will definitely seize one of their land and family property and reward my brothers who have made great contributions to the Iron Banner Gang! "

Everyone here heard this, but they had different thoughts.

Gu Mingyue wondered, did Chu Xisheng really want to give Xinjin a chance to help others?
Is Chu Xisheng deliberately consuming these disobedient people to solve the source of chaos in the gang?
What about the post of hall master and helmsman, and those land and family properties, I'm afraid they are drawing big cakes.

He can also vacate the Dongzhou territory by the way, and fill it with his direct descendants.

The point is that even if many people know his purpose, there is nothing they can do.

For example, the Pan family in Guangling County must hate the Iron Banner Gang to the bone.

But if they can use the influence of the Iron Banner Gang to seize a piece of property in Feizhou, and even make great contributions to become the leader of the Iron Banner Gang, they may not be unwilling to contribute.

This is clearly an overt conspiracy, and it can be achieved in one fell swoop.

The Laughing Mad Dragon was entangled endlessly.

Shui Tianhui has a deep relationship with the power behind him, Laughing Kuanglong never wants to see the Iron Banner Gang swallow 'Shui Tianhui'.

How will he handle himself then?
It doesn't feel right to set the tone with a stick.

He had a mission to prevent Chu Xisheng from obtaining the Banner of Rebellion against God.

If possible, it would be best to take Chu Xisheng's life as well.

He didn't come to work for Chu Xisheng, to fight for the Iron Banner Gang.

However, when one thinks that there will be a battle to be fought next, there will definitely be a large-scale battle between the Iron Banner Gang and the Water Sky Society.

Ba Tianlai felt the qi and blood in his body surging again, full of fighting spirit, and the excitement couldn't be further increased.

They all had the same thought, and they were not interested in the position of hall master that Chu Xisheng had thrown out.

Although the head of the branch guards one side, although he has a high position and authority, it also means that he is far away from the center of the Iron Banner Gang, and it is even more difficult to get close to Chu Xisheng.

At this time, there is still Cao Xuan, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, in the hall.

He kept frowning, thinking about Chu Xisheng's intention of letting him listen in on such a confidential matter.

What the hell is this sinister, vicious guy who is bleeding from the soles of his feet?

At this time, Cao Xuan no longer dared to underestimate this 'Wuji Saber Lord'.

He had realized that he had been plotted by Chu Xisheng many times.

So now, Cao Xuan is extra careful.

"——I also want to build the four great halls of Xuanjia, Silver Spear, Black Crow, and Hengchong in the main rudder! They are located above all the halls, side by side with Iron Banner and the Second Hall of Selection Front. The masters of these four great halls, We will choose those who are strong in military force and have made outstanding achievements in the gang."

Chu Xisheng stood up with his hands behind his back, "In addition, I also want to practice a secret method of the emperor's way 'Zhantian Qihu', and I need to choose seven members who are loyal to me and have strong martial arts, as my disciples. cornerstone of the secret method."

The six Dharma protectors in the hall were finally moved.

The moment they heard Chu Xi's intention to build the Four Great Halls, they had already moved their minds.

Knowing that Chu Xisheng wanted to practice the 'Seven Guardians of the Sky', his heart was even more ups and downs.

'Zhantian Qihu' is a weakened version of 'Nine Dragons God's Guardian', which can gather seven dragons to surround them and use them in battle.

The local princes in Daning, the first- and second-rank generals in the court, practiced this method, and used it to control the spiritual power and powerful blood of the troops under their command.

Chu Xisheng's practice of this method is definitely beyond the rules and does not comply with Daning's laws and regulations.

But in today's world, as long as the leader of a slightly larger gang will practice this method.Especially those big gangs in the north made the court helpless.

There are even some sect masters who practice cultivation to strengthen their combat power.

Of course the key is not on this.

To their surprise, Chu Xisheng was unable to cast the 'Pangu Divine Seal' when he was practicing 'Battle Heaven Seven Guardians'.

As a result of forcibly using it, he was also seriously injured by the power of the imperial secret method!

This might be the chance to kill Chu Xisheng!
Except for Dan Xuefei, countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the Dharma protectors.

"Everyone, except for the guardian Dan, go down, let's stop here for today."

At this moment, Chu Xisheng seemed to think of something again. He rubbed his forehead and warned: "By the way, let's pass the news down. After we enter Feizhou, we will definitely come into contact with Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. But we must pay attention. Small-scale conflicts are fine, but they can't become big ones. Enough is enough.

The two sides confront each other, just put on a show.The foundation of the Iron Banner gang is not stable, and if we really fight, we will still suffer.Gangs are inferior to those in the army, and they cannot be banned by orders, so these things must be clearly explained before the fight, so as not to spoil things.Dharma protectors also need to be careful not to deliberately provoke wars.Otherwise, it will be dealt with according to the rules! "

Ba Tianlai and Feng Liancheng, who had already stood up, suddenly had another thought.

The laughing mad dragon next to him showed a gleam in his eyes.

※※※※

After the five Dharma protectors left, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Cao Xuan finally couldn't hold back, he stood up and came to Chu Xisheng's seat, bowing and saluting: "Lord Wanhu, Mr. Cao has received an order from the superior and wants to ask Wanhu ?”

When Cao Xuan spoke, there was infinite emotion in his heart.

In the past, this young man who was a child of a poor and wealthy family in his eyes, who could be manipulated at will, has now stood on a cloud that he can't look up to. Cao Xuan is respectful and dare not be rude in the slightest.

Chu Xisheng ignored him. He took a pair of scissors from the desk and repaired the candle wick next to it.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but turn dark.

It's not completely dark yet, what candles to light?
When he turned his mind a little, he knew that this Wuji sword master must still have revenge.

That's how Cao Xuan treated Chu Xisheng when the two of them first met.

Cao Xuan thought that this is indeed a "Jia Zi Dao" repairer, and his heart can't be counted on.

He hesitated for a moment, then half-kneeled down: "See Wanhu for a humble job!"

Only then did Chu Xisheng raise his eyebrows, and finally saw him: "Say it? What do you want to ask?"

Although the Jinyiwei Qianhu in front of him had made him unhappy for a long time in the early years, and he still wanted to use the tampered nine-refined extreme element purple gold body to plot against him.

But in fact, during that time, this person still helped him a lot.

So Chu Xisheng was tolerant and didn't intend to argue with this person.

Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again, and glanced at Dan Xuefei and Tie Xiaosheng behind him.

"They are all my trusted subordinates, more reliable than you Cao Xuan."

Chu Xisheng was trimming the candles again, cutting quickly and accurately: "Are you going to tell me or not? Just let it go if you don't want to."

Cao Xuan didn't dare to look any more, he lowered his head: "Lord Wanhu, the higher-ups would like to know why you met Shenquan Judge Xi Bitian and Iron Face Judge Luo Yang and others in Youzhou more than ten days ago?"

"Is it because of the two major cases that happened in the capital? This matter has spread all over the world, and I received a report from the Tingtian Court of my sect in the afternoon."

Chu Xisheng tsk tsk: "I didn't expect that the emperor would do such a thing. Bawuwang is a unparalleled general who has opened up [-] miles for Daning and defeated the giant spirit—"

"Lord Wanhu!" Cao Xuan's complexion changed drastically, and he raised his voice: "This matter is the work of a demon who infiltrated the Ministry of Industry, and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. My lord, you are Tianya Jinyiwei Wanhu, how can you believe some incomplete proofs? rumors?"

"Is it?"

The corners of Chu Xisheng's lips twitched coldly, and he put down the scissors: "Okay, tell your superior, I contacted Xi Bitian and others to find out about the turmoil in the Chu family in the west of Beijing, and to know whether Chu Rulai It violated the king's law.

It's a pity that these people were impatient and did such a thing.pity!pity!I have already handed over their case files and physical witnesses to the Grand Master, and within a year or so at most, the case will definitely be overturned! "

Cao Xuan's eyes moved slightly, thinking that what Chu Xisheng said was similar to what he had guessed.

The Wuji Saber Lord in front of him is indeed a vengeance.

He had no choice but to target his junior sister Chu Ming, but directly aimed at the Jingxi Chu family.

"One more thing!" Cao Xuan raised his head cautiously, observing Chu Xisheng's face: "Did Wanhu go to the Ice City in the Far East more than ten days ago? And stayed in the Zhuyi bedroom for nearly ten days ? What did you say?
Also, although the Iron Banner Gang did not serve in the Far Eastern Ice City, they have been using ships to transport food, grass and military equipment for the Ice City army. "

"Is this asking for guilt?" Chu Xi laughed when she heard the words: "Why don't I just resign from the post of Jinyiwei Wanhu?"

"Don't dare!"

Cao Xuan's heart beat violently: "Lord Wanhu, this subordinate just wants to understand the situation, and this is also the intention of the Son of Heaven and the National Teacher."

Chu Xisheng glanced at Cao Xuan up and down, and then said in a leisurely voice: "When I was condensing Rahu's blood in Guixu, I met City Master Wen, and I fell in love with City Master Wen at first sight, and became close friends.

So I went to visit Bingcheng more than ten days ago. As for what the two of us said, it is difficult to tell.As for those grain ships, they were recruited forcibly by the Far East Ice City, not my wish.The Ice City in the Far East is powerful, and the Iron Banner Gang is unable to contend.If the imperial court thinks that I have colluded with the rebels, they can resign from my post of Wanhu and want to arrest them. "

Cao Xuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips when he heard the words 'Unforgettable Friend', his green hair, green beard, and green eyebrows were trembling.
He thought that this face was good-looking, and it was really popular everywhere.

I didn't expect that Yijian Qingcheng Wenzhuyi was this kind of woman, and she would like such a pretty face like Chu Xisheng.

He actually wanted to ask Chu Xisheng if he had had a relationship with Wen Zhuyi.

For some reason, the emperor is especially concerned about this matter.

However, Cao Xuan hesitated for a while, and still didn't dare to offend Chu Xisheng, and didn't dare to ask again.

After all, at this time of year, not to mention that the national teacher does not want the Wuji Saber Lord to become a court traitor; even the emperor wants to temporarily stabilize Wuxiang Shenzong.

Cao Xuan then changed his voice: "Lord Wanhu, if the imperial court intends to order the Iron Banner Gang to raise troops in Dongzhou and harass the rear of the Extreme East Ice City, would Lord Wanhu be willing?

The imperial court is willing to support it with military equipment, money and food, and after defeating the rebels in Bingcheng, it is willing to reward thousands of households with the post of governor of Dongzhou and Marquis of Pingdong—"

"I don't want to!"

Before Cao Xuan could finish speaking, Chu Xisheng shook his head slightly, took the Langhao pen in his hand, and continued to process the documents on the desk.

"I don't want to, but I can't. You have seen these Dharma protectors just now. What do you think they are? Why did they come? Also, what is the purpose of those forces who recently joined the Iron Banner Gang? Really Is it for the Far East Ice City?"

Cao Xuan couldn't help being taken aback, thoughtful.

What else could be the purpose of those third-rank martial arts cultivators who took refuge in Chu Xisheng?
Of course, it was to kill this Wuji Saber Lord, and to extinguish this future blood in the bud.

"To be honest, there are countless disasters buried in the Iron Banner Gang today. Once it breaks out, the Iron Banner Gang will definitely be torn apart and wiped out. If Chu doesn't deal with these disasters properly, and doesn't figure out what their purpose is, I will be sitting and standing with a thorn in my back." Uneasy."

The Langhao pen in Chu Xisheng's hand paused: "By the way, some people have suggested to me recently that I should marry a woman surnamed Qin, preferably from the Tieshan Qin family."

He looked at Cao Xuan meaningfully: "An extremely skilled magician told me that the West Mountain is dominated by dragons and tigers, and it is the most blessed place where noble people are expected to come out.

And as early as several decades ago, there were rumors in this world that Qin Chu was so good that the sun rose to the west!What should you do if such rebellious words of yours reach the ears of the Son of Heaven? "

Cao Xuan suddenly felt his scalp explode, and his heart and lungs were all numb.

An idea popped up in his mind involuntarily.

Did those previous Dharma protectors really come here for the life of Mr. Wuji Saber?

What is the purpose of the forces behind them?
Cao Xuan then recalled that not long ago in Youzhou, Chu Xisheng also had contact with Tieshan Princess Qin Xiyan.

These two are now in the relationship of senior sister and younger brother.

What Cao Xuan was more afraid of was himself.

If Chu Xisheng raises the flag of rebellion in Xishan in the future, or is labeled as a rebel by the court.So what should Cao Xuan do?
In the past, when Chu Xisheng rose, he, Cao Xuan, made great efforts.

Although he himself was malicious, on the bright side, it was he who promoted Chu Xisheng step by step to the position of Qianhu, and also let him practice the "Nine Refined Extreme Yuan Zijin Body", and he has an extremely powerful horizontal training master body.

Cao Xuan himself had a clear conscience, and asked himself that he was serving the imperial court wholeheartedly, but what would the higher-ups think?What would the emperor think?
