The sun is breaking at dawn!

Golden light is spreading across the land like a needle or thread, and the outline of the city walls of Baojiao County is covered with a layer of soft yellow gauze.

The bluestone slabs on the North Street are shining, flashing with a reddish color.

A bloody battle all night.

During the day, the winner and loser appeared, and the result was no different from a sensation among the big and small forces, halls, and gangs in Baojiao County.

In Tongwen Pavilion.

Jiang Shaoyou punched the air heavily in front of the bookshelf, and was extremely excited: "Hey, Yaowang Hall is really going to be powerful this time. In one night, all the firewood and iron shops were wiped out, and the Thirteenth Young Master Xie Qingfeng was killed. It's really exciting."

As Tongwen Pavilion has a business alliance with Yaowang Hall in the city, it is naturally happy to hear this news.

This can be seen from the fact that Jiang Shaoyou was sent to Yaowang Hall to learn the Spirit Ape Breathing Method.

The big and small gangs in Baojiao County seem to be mixed, but in fact they are all built around the three major interest circles centered on the three major gang giants.

Especially during the riverside meeting that day, Jiang Mohua and Jiang Shaoyou, father and son, clearly supported Yaowang Hall.

This is like the relationship between the vassal states in the world. There are three or five major countries that dominate and make the rules of the world. Other small countries must follow these rules, and at the same time, they are also dependent on their own suzerain states.

There is no doubt that a force like Tongwenguan, which is neither big nor small, does not have the strength and qualifications to dominate the city, so it naturally chooses to rely on one of the giant forces and become a part of its interest group.

Some people are happy and some are worried.

After the destruction of Chai Tiepu, its subordinate Pai Gang forces are now without the support of the suzerain forces. It is normal for them to be swallowed up by Yaowang Hall and all their power distribution and interest pie will be confiscated.

Some smart small gangs had secretly sent people to Yaowangtang to submit friendly and dependent notes as soon as they received the news in the early morning.

However, the Liangjiang Guild Hall, which was not attached to any major gang force on the surface and could be regarded as a "neutral" force, was put on the fire at this time.

In the Liangjiang Guild Hall.

As the head of the pawnbroker, Huang Muxia's business could help to connect the dots, contact businesses, and open up trade when the three giants were in a three-way confrontation, so that he could choose to make friends and take advantage of opportunities under the shadow of the three giants.

But that was when the three giants were in a three-way confrontation, and the situation in the city tended to be stable, so Huang Muxia and the Liangjiang Guild Hall were qualified to remain neutral.

They were equivalent to a buffer zone.

Because once a force invaded and took control of the Liangjiang Guild Hall first, then the pawnbroker, which played the key role of "business hub", would undoubtedly strangle the throat of the other two major forces.

But now, the Chai Tie Pu was destroyed.

The Yulong Society seemed to have disappeared within a few days, and the overall situation in Baojiao County has completely tilted towards the dominance of Yaowang Hall.

Liangjiang Guild Hall no longer has the inherent soil to maintain its previous neutrality.

"Master, at this time, I think we should first hand over a visiting card to Yaowang Hall. Whether to join Yaowang Hall's interest group or not is another matter, but at least we have to show our attitude, otherwise... we may not be able to sleep peacefully."

At this time, the old men in Liangjiang Guild Hall stood in a group, all surrounding Huang Muxia, trying to persuade him:

"The Chai Tie Pu was destroyed, and the Yulong Society was dormant. If Yaowang Hall does not attack Yulong Society in one go, then it will definitely choose to take down our 'Yahang', a key business hub."

"I have naturally thought about this, but..."

Huang Muxia stopped pacing and stood still. He turned around and looked at the elders and members of the guild hall, and said with a heavy face:

"The key to the problem is that it is not Yulong Society or Chai Tie Pu that dominates now, but Yaowang Hall!"

The elders in front of him couldn't help but fall into a trace of silence.

They all understood the master's underlying meaning.

The only conflict between their Liangjiang Guild Hall and Yaowang Hall is the biggest. Speaking of this, it has to do with the murder of Huang Gun.

Liangjiang Guild Hall plays the role of an intermediary in the field of pawnbrokers. It not only introduces business to other forces, but also introduces "professional shopkeepers", "professional managers", and even "professional clerks"...

These professional shopkeepers, professional managers, and even professional clerks are generally trained special talents. Although they do not have the authority to mix in the core secrets of other gangs, they have very experienced management skills.

People live in this world, in fact, it is a world where people manage people. Compared with various skills and abilities...

The art of controlling people is the most brilliant means.

In terms of personnel, many people rely on Liangjiang Guild Hall to find jobs to support their families. This is also a major way for Liangjiang Guild Hall to make money.

At that time, Zhang Yuanhai, the second manager of Yaowangtang, was the spokesperson of the owner who was transferred from the provincial capital to Baojiao County. He came to the branch of Xinglinhang in Baojiao County alone. He was isolated and helpless. Relying on the Zhang family's connections in the provincial capital, he sent someone to the Liangjiang Guild Hall in the provincial capital. The Liangjiang Guild Hall in the provincial capital then transferred the business to Huang Muxia in the county.

Faced with Zhang Yuanying's request, Huang Muxia accepted the request since it was his own business and had no reason not to accept it. In addition, he had connections with the Fucheng Guild Hall. Anyway, among the three major businesses in Baojiao County, Liangjiang Guild Hall Yaowangtang is not the only one who hires 'professional stewards' here...

Who would have expected that Huang Gun would be reported by an unknown person for embezzling the internal treasury of the Medicine King Hall, and then he would die mysteriously without a complete body within two days.

Originally, it would have been just a matter of sending an ordinary steward. However, after all, his Liangjiang Guild Hall was a family business, and many of the professional stewards there were related to him.

Huang Gun, whose surname was Huang, was murdered by Yaowangtang on suspicion of murder.

At that time, they, the elders of the clan, jointly forced Huang Muxia to go to Yaowang Hall to ask for an explanation. Although Huang Muxia used an extremely tactful approach to the matter at that time, he not only showed his attitude, but also kept it safe. Save face.

But after all, there was still a rift with Yaowangtang, which led to the follow-up incident of him joining forces with Zhao Chuanzu, Chai Tiepu Qufeng, and Xie Qingfeng to plot Chen Ku's "dock attack".

"You have all heard that Xie Qingfeng and Xie Qi from Chaitiepu, two masters of the Four Realms, both died at the hands of that seventeen-year-old boy Chen Ku. What happened back then is that he had no feelings for me. Resentment is impossible."

Huang Muchia took a deep breath and said:

"So, what do you want me to do now? I'm afraid that even if I am attached to the past, with Chen Ku's current position in the Yaowang Hall, if he accepts our kindness openly, I am afraid that he will secretly use his tricks on our Liangjiang Guild Hall. , I’m afraid I won’t know how I died by then, so...since the outcome of being attached or not is not going to be good, it’s better to wait now.”

"wait?"

All the clan elders were pondering.

Huang Muxia clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the roaring Longjiang River outside the guild hall archway from inside the ancestral hall, and said:

"When Fucheng sends people to suppress the situation, our Liangjiang Guild Hall is different from the local snakes in Baojiao County and has roots. Now that Baojiao County has changed, I have sent people to Fucheng Guild Hall to deliver the letter as soon as possible. I believe that Fucheng If they don't want the guild hall to completely lose its business situation and interests in Baojiao County for so many years, they will send someone to take charge. When the time comes, I will just hand over the door manager to that person, and I will still be able to keep the Liangjiang guild hall! "

"Congratulations, Master."

Suddenly, many of the clan elders couldn't help but praise this mature and prudent approach.

but,

After the meeting at the ancestral hall in this guild hall ended, there were still a few people with other thoughts who secretly chose to have private contact with Yaowangtang.

After all, compared to the sense of identity of Liangjiang Guild Hall, a "famous brand in the world", many people have been born and raised in Baojiao County for decades or hundreds of years, and have already been assimilated by the local customs and customs of Baojiao County. , has his own understanding of the layout of Baojiao County.

Instead of letting Huang Muxia leave everything to Fucheng, it is better to find another way out for himself. After all, some of them, their families and children still have to continue to survive in this county for generations to come.

People here at Liangjiang Guild Hall have different opinions.

In the county government office.

"Amazing, amazing!"

Qi County Cheng said in a deep voice:

"What a firewood and iron shop, but he actually built thirty divine crossbows privately, and only gave them to the government offices ten times. He was so brave that he even dared to deceive me!"

"Lord County Magistrate, Baojiao County has sent people to deliver twenty divine crossbows to the government office. Now there is a county captain who is responsible for receiving them. The people in Baojiao County call it the 'Chaitiepu Rebellion' Evidence." Wang Yixian stood in front of Qi County Cheng in the county government office and reported his work.

"Yaowangtang is equally amazing! He was able to grasp the thoughts of Lieutenant Ma and I so keenly, haha... Now he completely cleared them of the crime of fighting, and at the same time, he also put a hat on his head. He wore a hat of 'loyalty to the imperial court'." Qi Xian Cheng smiled and stroked his beard.

"There's no reason why they wouldn't do it."

Wang Yixian pressed the official sword with his hand and said with a faint smile:

"That is a divine crossbow after all. No matter which power owns it, there is no way to explain it. Failure to hand it over is a crime, which is equivalent to conspiracy, unless Yaowangtang really wants to rebel."

That's impossible.

Although Yaowangtang has Yang Luchan, the only master of the second and fifth realms in the county who is in the same realm as the county magistrate Shangguan Yun, once he is found guilty of 'rebellion and conspiracy', it will not be the masters who will deal with Yaowangtang, but the army. Already...

Even though the Baojiao County City Guards suffered a defeat and lost more than a hundred city guardsmen during the last battle of Snake Fish to suppress the demons, don't forget...

Because of this, Fucheng has sent an additional 1,000-man "Shenji Battalion" led by Dutou Ye Zhong, who will arrive in the city tomorrow.

Compared with the quality of the city guards of a county, the Shenji Battalion is the real Qiulong Mansion Army. What they hold is not a divine crossbow, but more powerful and has a longer range. It also has the ability to reorganize and disassemble to form and siege the city. The powerful 'God Machine Crossbow'.

The power of a divine machine crossbow is no less than the sum of ten large catapults. The 'heavy gun' crossbow arrows loaded in it can bring down a three-foot-high city wall with one blow!

Such a divine machine camp composed of a thousand people is about to arrive. Not to mention that Yaowangtang still has to be his gangster gang after the fire merged with Chaitiepu, but the overall strength is still higher than that of Yaowangtang. The chief rudder of Ping'an Road is afraid that all of them will be wiped out because of this.

Never doubt the foundation and strength of the imperial court, the largest background force in the world.

…………

"It's really hateful. We destroyed a Ping'an Dao branch in Sheyu Town last night and killed Yao Wensu together. Although the mysterious masked man in the bamboo hat took the head, the credit is always ours. As a result... It's such a coincidence that such a big thing happened in Baojiao County on the same night!"

In Hongyan Tower, Di Jianqing angrily smashed the bench next to his seat, smashing it into powder with one punch, and said:

"Why are you so unlucky!"

Sitting opposite, Cai Feihong and Fu Huangfei were also a little helpless and speechless.

After they rested in Sheyu Town last night, they sent people to spread the news the next day and contacted the rebuilt government office in Sheyu Town to confirm what they did. On the same day, the news reached Baojiao County, which indeed shocked many people in the city.

The three heroes of Fucheng joined forces to take down a stronghold of Sheyu Town in Pingan Road, killed enemies across the border, destroyed the Four Realms Incense Master, and killed more than ten Three Realms monsters.

This was a shocking news that could shock everyone, proving to everyone that the strength and rumors of the three heroes were not in vain.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, there was an even more explosive news in Baojiao County, which completely overwhelmed their limelight.

In fact, it was mainly a person of the same age as them who suppressed their limelight.

Chen Ku from Yaowang Hall.

In the process of the two giant forces fighting, he personally killed two Four Realms masters, including Xie Qingfeng, an adult Tianjiao and a famous master who had already been famous in Qiulong Mansion.

Although the process of the fight between the two gangs last night would not be spread out in detail, the reason behind Chen Ku's ability to kill two Four Realms masters would not be so easy.

But even so, he still had to be more popular than them.

After all, they were three people fighting together, and according to the news from the famous male family last night, at least Chen Ku killed Xie Qi by himself.

Three people fighting together and one person killing, even a child knows who is more valuable, not to mention that there is also a more valuable Xie Qingfeng.

"It is said that this Chen Ku has only practiced for more than half a year, and he has broken through the realm continuously. I heard that when he killed Xie Qi last night, he had reached the cultivation realm of the early stage of the third realm, 'Red Jade'."

Cai Feihong sighed lightly:

"In terms of cultivation, he is equivalent to us, but in terms of strength, he is far superior to us."

"If we add the mysterious young man who stole our head last night."

Fu Huangfei was in a heavy mood:

"Are there really so many geniuses who can surpass us in this Baojiao County now?"

They were all famous talents in the prefecture.

I never thought that after coming to a small county, I couldn't make a name for myself, and my Taoism was hit repeatedly.

They all silently recited the name of Chen Ku, the young man who was "infinitely glorious" and "unparalleled" today, and regarded him as a great enemy in their hearts. They began to pay attention to him silently and collected and analyzed the information related to Chen Ku.
