Chapter 317: Self-destruction?

The next morning.

The fourth day the Qiugong Embankment burst.

The heavy rain for many days finally dissipated, the sky was gray and the raindrops were as thin as cow hair.

Yu Dayi was exhausted and looked around.

More than 90% of the entire fleet's ships were filled with victims.

The small fishing boats surrounding the big ship were also filled with women and children. The water was extremely deep and the boat might capsize accidentally.

Yu Dayi's temples were so swollen and painful, and he had to repair Qiugong Embankment next. How to repair it was a big problem, and he really had a headache.

If he had worked hard and had a Jinshi background and entered the Tiger Class, he would not have come to Huazhu County now.

Those who pass the Jinshi rank, have a Jinshi background, and have the same Jinshi background.

The three sound similar, but they are very different.

Not to mention the first-class Jinshi, the Jinshi among Jinshi.

A second-class Jinshi student has many more privileges than a third-class Jinshi student.

The most important thing is to give priority to your job location and position, and give priority to "ranking" when there is a "shortage" of official positions, commonly known as the "tiger class".

However, Yu Dayi was only a third-level Jinshi, so he had no choice at all.

In the midst of regret, a raft floated from the ocean.

All his men were sent out to explore the disaster area. Wei Shao was independent on the raft. When he saw the fleet, he rolled up his hem, jumped, and started running on the water!

Last night there was a man who killed a fish monster with one blow, and today there is a man who can run on water?

The people who witnessed this scene stood up from the fishing boats one after another, causing the boatman to curse.

"Sit down! Sit down! Stop shaking!"

"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down!"

"Hey! Move again! Be careful, I'll take a picture of you!"

Yu Dayi, who was on the bow, was well-informed and was not surprised. When the newcomers boarded the bow, he glanced at his badge.

"I thought that the arrival time of the people coming to the Hebo Station would be almost the same, but I never thought that Mr. Wei would be much slower."

"The other person arrived earlier than me?"

Wei Shao frowned. He knew that the person coming over from Xu Yuelong was Liang Qu. He couldn't accept it when he heard that he had lost again.

"Not only is it early, but we arrived before midnight. Now..." Yu Dayi raised his head and looked at the sky, "Isn't it already midnight?"

That's at least almost five hours...

шшш ◆ttKan шO

Wei Shao frowned.

He set off immediately after receiving the order. Even though the horse he was riding was not as good as a dragon-blooded horse, it was not an ordinary horse. Riding alternately, even if it was slow, it should not be slow for half a day.

Wei Shao just found the county magistrate.

Liang Qu has rushed to Shahe Mountain, the headquarter of Shahe Gang.

Chishan moved his hooves, and Lu Xinqing swung his legs, chasing after him like a dead dog, his saliva sticky like glue.

The scouts in the stronghold saw the fiery horses from a distance and knew that the people coming were extraordinary, especially the official uniforms they wore, which were very similar to the two guys who came to the door last time!

The scouts immediately went to the village to report the news.

In the small wooden house behind Shahe Mountain, Cheng Chong meditated and practiced Qigong amidst the lingering scent of Ningshen incense.

There was a knock on the door, and gang member Lian Jingye whispered outside the door: "Gang leader! The people from the government are here again! I look at the official uniform, it should be from Hebo!"

There was no response from the cabin.

Just when Lian Jingye thought the gang leader hadn't heard, he put his knuckles on the door panel.

"knew."

Lian Jingye Qu relaxed his joints and hesitated again and again: "What do we want to do? They probably want to borrow a boat."

"Just do it."

What to do, just do it?

Lian Jingye lowered his head and thought.

On the surface, there should be a blood feud between the Shahe Gang and Hebosuo.

I don't dare to retaliate. No matter how the other party is an official, I should not let him borrow the boat.

The actual situation is completely different from what everyone thought.

The Shahe Gang originally had three gang leaders and countless gang members.

When there are more people, there will be factions.

As a rising star, the leader of the three gangs has high strength and ability. Under his leadership and development, the Shahe Gang continues to whiten and grow.

The calls from the gang leaders below for the chief gang leader to step aside in favor of someone more powerful are getting louder and louder, and the internal conflicts have already reached the point of being irreconcilable.

Just at this moment, Hebosuo arrived!

The first gang leader and the second gang leader bowed their heads on the spot without causing any trouble.

Just because the water transportation on the Blackwater River is inseparable from the Shahe Gang, the three gang leaders who appear to be whiter are left behind.

Of course, it is precisely because of the conflicts between the third gang leader, the big gang leader, and the second gang leader, otherwise Hebo Institute would not deliberately leave the third gang leader behind to lay a minefield for himself.

The appearance of Hebosuo unexpectedly helped the three gang leaders solve their moral problems.

When the three gang leaders take over, the supporters of the other two gang leaders will naturally die and scatter. The high-level gang members left behind are now able to take over, all thanks to the "liquidation" of Hebo Institute.

Not only are there no resentments in their hearts, but there is a different kind of "gratitude" in their hearts.

Without a river shelter, at least another year and a half would be wasted.

Of course, we cannot behave like this externally.

The plaque of loyalty is hanging in the hall, and the corpses of the first and second gang leaders are still cold.

Therefore, when Yu Dayi came to borrow the boat, Cheng Chong clearly refused.

I don’t know why, but now the people coming to Hebo act like they are doing business?

Fear?

This is not the character of the three gang leaders.

Lian Jingye couldn't figure it out, but he took the order and left.

The back mountain fell into silence.

"Hebosuo..."

Cheng Chong opened his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and sighed softly.

“What is supposed to come will come.”

…

On the mountain ladder.

Liang Qu carried his bow and gun.

Lu Xinqing followed closely behind, looking around.

He had run errands for the Shahe Gang, but that was almost twenty years ago. He was an 11- or 12-year-old kid who had no right to go up the mountain, let alone "drink tea" on the mountain.

This was really the first time for a grown-up girl to ride in a sedan chair.

After the novelty wore off, Lu Xinqing couldn't help but think wildly.

Liang Qu met with Teacher Chai Shiqiao, and he fell behind to catch up. He didn't hear his name. Later, when he met County Magistrate Yu, he learned that Liang Qu's surname was Liang.

Now that he came to the Shahe Gang, the thread in Lu Xinqing's mind suddenly connected.

It is said that the decline of the Shahe Gang was because the gang leader took a concubine, and the rice was cooked, and forcibly snatched the love of a certain Liang.

The young man in front of him was young, a seventh-rank official, and very powerful. His surname was also Liang...

Hiss!

No wonder Liang Qu rejected it at the time!

I understand!

He understands everything!

The victim turned out to be!

But how beautiful a concubine must she be to let the Shahe Gang suffer such a drastic change?

Beauty is a disaster!

Lu Xinqing felt that the concubine must be a hundred times prettier than the one who was paid five taels of silver in Huanghua Township!

Lu Xinqing felt an indescribable joy and relief when he suddenly discovered Liang Qu's secret.

He straightened his chest and looked up.

Shahe Mountain, Shahe Mountain, there is a Shahe Gang on the mountain.

Shahe Gang, Shahe Gang, we are going to... Shahe Gang?

Wait, Shahe Gang?

Isn't that a mortal enemy?

Lu Xinqing recalled the situation, trembled all over, and cold sweat could not stop pouring down.

"Jiangyun Teahouse, it's a good name."

Liang Qu climbed halfway up the mountain, looked up at the plaque, and glanced at Lu Xinqing who was sweating.

Since he went up the mountain, his ear recognition method has not stopped for a moment, and the one he heard the most was Lu Xinqing behind him.

Nervous, excited, ecstatic, and afraid... The inner drama is so rich that I don't know what he is thinking.

Ignoring it, Liang Qu stepped into the teahouse.

The hustle and bustle of the tide surged out.

The entire front hall really looks like a teahouse, divided into two floors.

Most people on the upper floor are having morning tea and chatting.

Most people on the lower floor are playing cards and gambling. Some are playing mahjong, some are playing dice, and there are three gang members standing in the corner of the flower bed.

But if you look closely, you can find that everyone inside has strong strength, at least three levels or above!

The Shahe Gang did not seem to cause any waves because of Liang Qu's arrival, but when Liang Qu stepped over a few tea tables, he immediately felt countless eyes converge on his back.

Liang Qu was calm and walked across the front hall with a square step, and went straight to the central hall, the Juyi Building with a Juyi plaque hanging on it.

Lu Xinqing stared at Liang Qu's heels, following him step by step without daring to look back, his lips turned pale, his back itched, and his forehead was full of sweat.

There were three plaques hanging in front of the hall.

On the left side, on a white background, it was written "upright and open".

On the right side, on a yellow background, it was written "righteousness for thousands of years".

In the middle, there is a red background with the words "Heaven, Earth, King, Parents, and Teacher".

However, the tablets under the three plaques are dedicated to the leaders of the Shahe Gang of all generations.

People upstairs and downstairs looked at each other, staring at their every move.

Liang Qu pretended not to see it, and found a seat in the middle of the hall, put down Fu Bo and Long Gong.

Lu Xinqing was confused, and hurriedly whispered: "Sir, burn incense, burn incense!"

Liang Qu ignored him, he took out his pocket, threw down a few copper coins, and waited for the waiter to serve tea.

You're so polite!

For a moment, the entire front hall and the hall suddenly changed from absolute noise to absolute silence, so quiet that people felt cold and panic.

Dust fell on Lu Xinqing's limp shoulders, he trembled and bowed to the tablet, and stood aside.

The waiter who poured tea had never seen such a big show before, and glanced at Lian Jingye in the corner.

Lian Jingye thought about it and nodded quietly.

"Guest, tea is here!"

The waiter threw on a white towel and picked up the teapot to serve tea.

The white mist rose, and the tea fragrance filled the air. It was really good tea.

Liang Qu smelled it, but he didn't hear the waiter's guilty conscience. He lifted the lid of the tea and drank it in front of everyone.

After a day's journey, he was really thirsty.

"No, you can't drink it!"

Lu Xinqing's breathing stagnated, sweat poured down his forehead, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and his head was buried like a quail.

According to the rules, the first step of not burning incense is a concession, and the second step is...

What did you say last night?

Lu Xinqing howled in his heart.

Several high-level people in the Shahe Gang frowned.

Not giving face twice in a row is too arrogant.

Who is asking for help?

Seeing the high-level people frowning, the gang members who were having morning tea on the second floor of the front hall stood up quietly, and the gang members below also leaned against the pillars unconsciously.

More and more gang members appeared from all directions, vaguely surrounding the Juyi Building.

All eyes gathered, as if there was a real weight pressing on Lu Xinqing's fragile back, pressing lower and lower.

Liang Qu put down the teacup.

"Old Lu."

Lu Xinqing lowered his head and counted ants.

"Old Lu!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Xinqing almost jumped up from his seat, "Master... what do you want?"

"Tell me, why do some people like to use incisions and do those twists and turns?"

Incisions are jargon.

Lu Xinqing felt that there was a trap inside, and he really didn't want to jump, but he had to jump.

"Little, little I don't know."

"Because those people need these incisions to make up for their lack of status."

Lu Xinqing was stunned.

"To put it bluntly, the less you are, the more you like to use incisions." Liang Qu took a sip of tea, "In this way, you can build a high wall for your own bad circle, so that people outside the wall will envy you."

Bang!

The tea bowl smashed into pieces on the stone curtain.

Lian Jingye was furious.

"Your Excellency is going too far!"

This statement really hit the sore spot of the Shahe Gang, devaluing the way of speaking that everyone was proud of. How could everyone present not be angry?

"He Bo is going too far!"

"What a great official power!"

"Get out of Shahe Mountain!"

"I don't have a boat to lend you!"

"It sounds reasonable, but your Excellency should not embarrass the members of my Shahe Gang."

The voice was not very loud, and even sounded old, but it overwhelmed the noise in the Juyi Building in an instant.

Lian Jingye and others stood up one after another.

"Boss!"

"Gang Leader!"

Amidst the respectful addresses, Cheng Chong walked out of the corridor slowly with a tablet in his hand.

Liang Qu looked up and down: "Are you the leader of the Shahe Gang?"

Cheng Chong looked calm.
