From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

The sky was getting dark, and the search for help from the Cao Gang had to be given up. Everyone went downstairs to have a light meal, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Everyone didn't fall asleep the night before, so they slept soundly that night. In the early morning of the second day, after they had breakfast, they headed for the port.

The river port in Beiling County is not big, but there are many ships moored. Now that the water ghosts in the Wei River are making trouble, the boatmen are afraid to leave the boat, so there is such a scene.

It was easy to find Caobang. The boatman on the pier would know if he asked. Wang Yu quickly passed by, chatted with him for a few words, and then walked back quickly.

"The Cao Gang does have a branch rudder in Beiling County. The rudder owner's name is Huo Yi. It's in the alley behind. There's a peach tree in front of the door."

As Wang Yu said, he pointed there, Yi Xing nodded, and immediately led the crowd away.

The place is easy to find, the alley is not deep, and the peach trees are very obvious, but the door is locked, which makes everyone stunned.

I found out after asking an old man passing by, because the water ghosts in the Wei River have caused chaos recently, no one on the pier is willing to leave the boat, and the Cao Gang has no business, so they seldom stay on the pier now, and they all go to the county casino.

"Hehe, the Cao Gang are all quacks, so naturally they have some preferences."

Yi Xing laughed, showing embarrassment.

After asking the way, everyone went straight to the casino, only to find that the casino was crowded with people and it was very lively.

Beiling County used to rely on trade for a living, but now there are water ghosts on the waterways, bandits on the mountain roads, and all the shops in the county are suffering from poor business. There are only two places that are particularly prosperous, one is Chunlou, and the other is this casino.

Even though Beiling County is a small place, there are quite a lot of gambling houses. Fortunately, there are members of the Cao Gang in this gambling house, so most of the people of the Cao Gang are concentrated here.

"Brother, may I ask the leader of the Cao Gang, Huo Yi, if he is around?"

Finding a guard in the casino, Wang Yudui asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes."

At first the nurse didn't pay attention, and was chatting with someone about the new girl in the spring building across the street, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Wang Yu's official uniform, and was immediately stunned.

The gambling house is a place where the three religions and the nine streams gather. I have seen the robes of the gods and the guardians. After all, they are also people from the world. They are hired as thugs to make a living. They still have the vision they should have.

The nurse hurriedly asked Wang Yu and others to wait, and went in by himself. After a while, he led a thin young man out.

"I'm helping Huo Yi in Xiacao. I don't know why all the masters of the god arresting sect are looking for the younger one."

This young man reported his family background, his attitude is correct, but seeing that he is only in his early twenties, and he is actually the head of the Cao Gang here, everyone in the God Catching Sect looked up to him unconsciously.

After all, they know that it is not easy to be a helmsman in the Cao Gang.

The sub-rudders of the Cao Gang are all over the world, at least three to five hundred, but the rudder masters are all old, treacherous and cunning.

"Hehe, Master Huo is very polite. I'm here to arrest Yi Xing. These are my colleagues. I came to find Master Huo this time for no other reason than to inquire about that Chu Zijing. information."

Yi Xing cupped his hands, also reporting himself as a family, and then explained the reason clearly.

This is the rule of the rivers and lakes, politeness is politeness, but you must speak clearly.

"It turned out to be Yi Butou, disrespectful and disrespectful, it's too noisy here, it's not a place to talk, please follow me to the sub-helm of the Cao Gang, we can chat slowly."

After speaking, Huo Yi immediately led the way, and the people from the God Catchment Gate followed him, and returned to the small courtyard with peach trees at the door. Huo Yi took out the key, opened the courtyard door, and let everyone in.

The yard is not big, and it is a bit messy. After all, the Cao Gang are all dock workers, and they are all rough people. Naturally, they don't pay much attention to decoration. Even cleaning is extremely perfunctory. What they want is casualness.

After moving a few chairs out, Huo Yi took a big pot to make tea again, and everyone sat down one after another, and they sat down and chatted in the yard.

The God Catchment Gate had already explained clearly the purpose of their visit, and after a few polite words from both sides, they got to the point.

"Speaking of Chu Zijing, to be honest, I, Huo Yi, admire him as a man.

I haven't seen Great Xia Chu, but I do know some of his deeds.

For example, the Qinglong Bay water village the year before last made waves and robbed merchant ships, which caused complaints from the brothers in Qinglong Bay. Although the officials sent troops to encircle and suppress, it was of no use. The water village was built, and this allowed the brothers in Qinglongwan to do business with peace of mind. "

Huo Yi talked with great interest, but on the side of God's Catcher, everyone looked at each other and felt that the news seemed worthless.

The waterways of Qinglong Bay are crisscrossed, and it can be regarded as an important shipping route in the entire Wei Dynasty.

If you want to talk about water villages, there are more than one or two families in Qinglong Bay, and the Cao Gang is engaged in waterway business. They have many contacts with these water villages, and I am afraid they will not be clean.

Chu Zijing destroyed a water village without any pain or itching. Obviously, this water village and the Cao Gang were at odds with each other, so it was tantamount to doing Cao Gang a favor, except for an opponent.

"Hehe, from this point of view, this Chu Zijing is indeed a man. I don't know if Huo Tuozhu knows other things."

Yi Xing said lightly, then Chu Zijing thought about it a little, and said:

"Last year in Gyeonggi, Great Xia Chu did a good job.

Our Cao Gang was in a bit of a mess in Gyeonggi at that time, and accidentally lost a batch of goods. The helmsman went around in a hurry, and finally received a letter saying that he knew the location of the goods, and the payment was made by Chu Daxia.

The brothers of our Cao Gang were dubious at the time, but when they got to the place, they really found the goods.At that time, there was another letter left in the goods, saying that the goods were stolen by a group of Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao, but these people couldn’t help it, they were too poor, and they almost couldn’t afford food. Hold your hand high and don't pursue it.

Of course, the signature is also Chu Daxia.

This hero of Chu has a kind heart and is a role model for us, so our Cao Gang will not be stingy, so let it go. "

After this matter was finished, everyone in the God Catchment Sect looked at each other again, why this matter still has something to do with the Cao Gang.

"Ahem, I don't know if Master Huo knows anything else."

Wang Yu opened his mouth, but Huo Yi pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said lightly:

"In the same year last year, there was an old helmsman of our Cao Gang who encountered trouble on his way home, and it was said that he was seeking revenge.

As a result, the old helmsman couldn't escape because he brought his family members with him, so he had to discuss with the enemy and let his family go, and he stayed to settle the grievances with the other party.

In the end, the enemies disagreed, saying that they wanted to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots. The old rudder master had no choice but to fight them desperately. When they were outnumbered, someone saw the injustice and came to help, repelled the enemies, and saved the old rudder master's family.

The old rudder wanted to thank the righteous man, but the man refused to leave his name, turned around and left.

But after inquiring about it afterwards, the old rudder master said that the man was probably Chu Zijing, the hero of Chu. After all, the hero of Chu studied under Qiu Mulian, the number one swordsman in Yanshan, and some of Qiu Mulian's signature sword styles are easy to recognize. "

After the matter was finished, Huo Yi's face was full of envy, as if he had admired the great hero Chu for a long time, but on the side of Shenchamen, his face turned dark.

Embarrassing, really embarrassing, the helmsman of the Cao Gang in front of him probably only knows about his own family.
