C321 Gang
"Brother Zheng, it's a misunderstanding. Maybe the atmosphere in the capital is still the same. It might be as you said. However, this Jingchu land is much better. Although everyone is still looking forward to the Imperial Court, but now, the Imperial Court has fallen, and there are traitors in the court. A small clan had become a huge threat to the Imperial Court. It could not be said that the Imperial Court had not done anything. They had strictly suppressed the internal affairs and demanded that they be punished. It was disadvantageous for them to use their troops against the external world. They had exhausted their national strength, which resulted in the current situation.
Ever since the change in the castle, the Imperial Court had been weak and muddle-headed, and it had caused the teeth of all the scholars in the world to turn cold. If you want to learn from the ancient people, submit to them. It's not like you have the skills and strength like Brother Zheng. They can only gather three to five close friends to drink to vent their anger, unlike Cult Master Zhang, Brother Zheng, and others who use their three feet long swords to sweep away all the injustice in the world. "
When they heard that Cao Qianwan's words didn't seem to be a pretentious person, Zhang Jingxuan, Zheng Xingquan, and the others were puzzled in their hearts as to what this person wanted to do.
Fortunately, Cao Qianwan did not wait for others to ask questions and took the initiative to say, "I, Cao, am not talented. I also know the principle of 'when there is a rule of the world, there is a rule of the world, and when there is a rule of the world, there is a rule of the world that states that' when there is a rule of the world, there is a rule of the world. ' Therefore, Cult Master Zhang used the law of the world to cut down the law of He did not dare to forget that he had cultivated to the point of peace. Today, I will follow Brother Zheng's example and come forward with the official seal to submit to Cult Master Zhang. In the form of a watch. Sincerity."
Hearing Cao Qianwan's words, everyone felt somewhat puzzled.
Zheng Xingquan also asked with a curious expression, "In that case, Brother Cao seems to welcome us here, but why is the information about Suizhou different from what you said?"
Cao Qianwan looked up and laughed, then said, "Brother Zheng is right. I have something in mind with Cult Master Zhang, Brother Zheng, and the others. He wished he could join them and fight for the people of the world. However, there were still some mischievous kids in the Suizhou. They were ignorant of the world and were used by evil people. They wanted to be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They blocked the advance of the Rising Dou Army. I laugh that they are just ants trying to shake a tree. I urge them to quickly abandon the darkness and join the light. But their heads are filled with mush. How can they listen? In order to show their sincerity, I might as well ignore their attempt to persuade me to stay. Join the Sect Leader and carry out the grand election together."
This man spoke in a dignified manner, but why did it sound like Cao County Magistrate had been chased out by someone?
Zhang Jingxuan also smiled. He did not take Cao County Magistrate's exaggeration as his intention at all. He still treated him with courtesy and humility.
"Mr. Cao, welcome. You are the first person who has come to join the founding of the Great Eastern State. Just based on this point, I have to say that you have come at the right time. "
" Oh? Dadong Country? It was actually like this! Very good, very good. However, the urgent matter at hand was still to discuss the matter of presenting the city. I brought along a follower and an official seal, saying that I want to offer up a Suizhou with the Sect Leader. He must also be secretly laughed at by others.
Let's talk about the current situation in the Suizhou first. I've only been an official in this city for more than three months. My predecessor just couldn't continue and took the initiative to request for an external transfer. At that time, I didn't believe it, but now, it's like this."
Cao Qianwan spread out his hands and smiled lightheartedly. He didn't seem to take it to heart.
"In the current Suizhou, the people are fierce and fierce, and they are fighting against the brave warriors. And among them, the youths are the most important. In recent years, the border is not peaceful, and there are endless waves of soldiers and bandits. Many of the young and strong men in Suizhou followed the army, leaving behind some children who were about half their age. Without anyone to discipline them, it would eventually become a disaster.
The young men in the east and west of ___ formed their own factions. They raised their leaders and became a gang organization. The one in the east of the city was called Shennong Gang, while the one in the west of the city was called Yan Gang. Each of them had a scale of four to five hundred people. The two of them might be fighting for territory. They were like fire and water, and they often fought and argued. However, they were still on par with each other.
The commotion was really outrageous. The previous County Magistrate had originally wanted to send a bailiff to suppress them. In the end, they stripped the bailiffs of their clothes and brought them back. He had to ask for reinforcements from the Imperial Court, but he was once again reprimanded by the Imperial Court for not being able to manage the country properly. In this fit of anger, that brother might as well just leave and settle the matter."
Seeing that Zhang Jingxuan and the others had listened carefully, Cao Qianwan continued, "I happened to be a scholar and came from a family. I was not willing to go to Hanlin even if you asked me to. The main reason was that he didn't like the atmosphere of the competition in the capital. Coincidentally, there was a problem here. I came to Suizhou by accident. That's why it's fate that matters in the world." Cao Qianwan spoke with a Jiangzhe accent. His voice was very pleasant and comfortable. Therefore, when everyone heard him speak, they could not help but feel annoyed.
"When I arrived here, I spent a month to sort out the situation. Then, due to the circumstances, I used the strategy of favorable guidance. Most of these young people are actually still naive, just that they are ignorant and incompetent. When they were overenergized and led the way, they would only do some naughty and troublemaking little things. In essence, they were not that bad.
Before this, there were also small gangs around the Suizhou, so I went to visit them myself. I encouraged them to protect their homeland and get rid of evil for the people. In the end, I organized a garrison of civilians. I absorbed most of these youths. The few fellows in the lead were used to doing whatever they wanted. When they saw that the situation was not right, they all ran over. If the Sect Leader and everyone else had arrived here a month ago, I think it would have been a completely different scene."
Cao Qianwan had the ability to tell stories. When everyone heard his words, it was not easy to stop them, but they still listened with great interest.
"In the end, just over half a month ago, the two leaders who ran away earlier... They came back almost at the same time. Moreover, they brought reinforcements with them. It was unknown whether the name of the so-called leader of the Shennong Gang was Tu Xingjiu or not. However, he often boasted that there were eight other big brothers above him.
The young leader of the Yan Gang was called You Feijian. He was known as a sword technique passed down from his ancestors. However, no one had ever seen him use a sword before. According to him, once he used a sword, a human head would fall to the ground. A weapon was a lethal weapon, and the Saint had no choice but to use it.
Comparing oneself to the Saint, wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off? Alright, let me use my tongue to make fun of them. It's because the reinforcements they brought are really powerful. They're not someone I can fight against."
Cao Qianwan revealed a bitter smile for the first time as he spoke.
"Tu Xingjiu came back first. He really brought back eight helpers on this trip. However, only one of them was the eldest brother, and the other seven were sister-in-law. This big brother is a red robed lama. His name is Master Kuizhong, so the situation is reversed. He never caught ghosts, but only girls.
Once he returned to Suizhou, Tu Xingjiu openly clamored to gather the crowd. He relied on the fact that the big lama had practiced a lot of martial arts and ran amok. He gathered a lot of his former subordinates. I was planning to suppress them in one fell swoop, but at this moment, the Hou Yan Gang's You Jian also came back. "
