Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Speaking of this, he suddenly cupped his hands towards Chen Lang and said, "Master Chen!"

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and bowed his head to the five hall masters in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "There are five more hall masters from the Salt Gang! Just to let everyone know, just as Mr. Guo was still on his way to Yangzhou, Yangzhou Inspector Tong Huan and Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy Zhang Chengzong have already begun to conspire secretly. While trying to deal with my subordinates, they are also plotting against the Salt Gang. Listen to me slowly..."

At this time, he told how he rescued Chen Jitao, the prime minister of Yangzhou County, on the boat, and how Chen Jitao overheard Tong Huan and Zhang Chengzong conspiring to provoke him to fight with the Salt Gang. There was no concealment, even the fact that the two tried to hide the governor's golden seal was not omitted, and they were told together.

In the end, he sneered and said, "The Zhang family in Yangzhou really had a good plan! Here they want to plant blame on you, so that you and I will fight each other for the fisherman's profit, and on the other hand, they secretly contacted Deputy Gang Leader Ruan to try to make money. Let the Salt Gang abandon the darkness and join the Zhang Family. Hehe, what is the intention of the Zhang Family in Yangzhou, do you need me to put it more bluntly? The clear road that Deputy Gang Leader Ruan said may be the way of no return for the Salt Gang!"

Boom~

The five halls in the Juyi hall were the first to explode, and they cursed the Zhang family in Yangzhou with righteous indignation, and those who are reckless in the world will definitely not export their words, and they all scolded their mothers one after another.By the way, the five of them looked at the deputy gang leader Ruan Dan with weird eyes, even hatred.

Chen Lang was also shocked by what Guo Ye said, and he said to himself: "It seems that the Zhang family didn't really recruit our Salt Gang, but they still regard our Salt Gang as a thorn in their side, and get rid of it quickly." !"

When Ruan Dan heard Chen Lang's words, his heart turned cold, and he hurriedly shouted: "Guangzhu, these are all one-sided words of the surname Guo, you can't just listen to one side and believe it? The second master Zhang Yuanxin is indeed sincerely recruiting us. Moreover, Zhang Yuanzhi, the third master of the Zhang family, expressed his sincerity and assured me again and again that all the disciples of our Yan Gang who have been killed by the Zhang family over the years will be compensated for their losses. They will pay 30 taels of silver for each head. Brother, our Yan Gang died in these years The brothers in their hands have two thousand instead of three thousand? This is all white money, doesn't it mean that the Zhang family really wants to recruit us?"

Bang!

Chen Lang was furious when he heard the words: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You have the face to say such things? Don't tell me the lives of the disciples of the Salt Gang are not worth 30 taels of silver in your eyes? If it wasn't for you and my brother, I can't wait to cut off your head to vent my anger!"

Chen Lang slammed his palm heavily on the table, shaking the ghost-headed broadsword lying horizontally on the table to make a slight ringing sound.

The other five hall masters were also obviously irritated by the words of the deputy gang leader Ruan Dan, and they all glared at Ruan Dan.

Guo Ye saw it in his eyes, enjoyed it in his heart, secretly amused, what about Ruan Dan, the vice leader of Nima?I think you are an idiot!You can also say this kind of hatred and ridicule.

Taking advantage of Chen Lang and everyone's dissatisfaction with Ruan Dan, Guo Ye struck while the iron was hot and said, "Master Chen, by now, I think you have figured it out in your heart. I don't know about your invitation to Guo, and my next meeting with the Salt Gang." Sincerity is endless, do you have a decision in your heart?"

As soon as Guo Ye finished speaking, Ruan Dan persisted and shouted: "Brother, the Zhang family is deeply rooted in Yangzhou and powerful. How can it be compared to an outsider named Guo? I disagree. As the deputy head of the Salt Gang , I can't agree to cooperate with the surname Guo!"

Chen Lang smiled wryly at Guo Ye, shook his head and said, "Guo Inspector, you have also seen my brother's attitude, the Salt Gang is not my own, Chen Lang's. Chen Lang can't disregard his brother's loyalty just because of himself, right? It's very embarrassing for me, it's hard to make a decision!"

After hearing this, Guo Ye looked at Chen Lang quietly, as if he wanted to penetrate everything in the deepest part of his heart.

All of a sudden, he felt ruthless in his heart, and thought to himself, since you want to talk about loyalty, brotherhood, face and the overall situation, then let me be the villain for you!

Without any warning, Guo Ye rushed forward and grabbed the ghost-headed sword on the table beside Chen Lang...

Before everyone could get over their nerves, Guo Ye had already seized the sword and ran back to Ruan Dan, raised the ghost-headed sword high, and shouted: "Master Chen, let me make this decision for you!"

In the blink of an eye, the ghost-headed sword had slashed at Ruan Dan fiercely.

The hand raised the knife and fell, with a click.

puff~~

As soon as the blood flashed, it splattered like a beetle, and a human head was chopped off and thrown up...

Seizing the knife, chopping the knife, and beheading, all completed in just an instant.

The body and head were separated, and Ruan Dan died instantly!

quiet,

The entire gathering hall was as quiet as stagnant water, and everyone's horrified eyes followed the flying heads.

until……

Bang!

a crash

Heads fall!

Chapter 749

Bang!

The blood suddenly appeared, the head fell to the ground, and there was an uproar in the hall.

Chen Lang was the first to wake up from the astonishment and shock, and shouted: "Guo Yeer dare?"

shhhh~~

The five hall masters stood up almost at the same time, and shouted angrily: "Blatantly murder, kill my deputy sect master, are you impatient?"

provocative!

This is undoubtedly a naked provocation!

To them, Ruan Dan is certainly hateful and detestable, but Guo Ye's reckless killing of Ruan Dan is undoubtedly the biggest challenge to the Salt Gang.

It is impossible for a normal person to be calm when he kills his deputy gang leader on his territory.

However, Guo Ye also put on a look of contempt, ignoring the wrath of the five hall masters, and said to Chen Lang righteously: "Bang Master Chen, since you care about the morality and brotherhood of the world, you don't want to take this responsibility." The crime of brotherhood, then Guo will simply bear it for you. Now that Ruan Dan has given the head, can we have a good talk next?"

"Guo Cishi, good, good, you are good, hehe..."

Chen Lang laughed angrily and said hello three times in a row, raised his hand and pointed at Guo Ye angrily, and asked, "You are so daring to kill my deputy gang leader on the site of my salt gang. Do you think it is possible for us to continue talking?" Humph, it’s really whimsical, and it’s unknown whether you can leave safely. The Salt Gang has nearly five thousand disciples, so you’re still asking for blessings!”

After Chen Lang finished speaking, the five hall masters immediately shouted out of righteous indignation: "Master, please let me tie up this dog official!"

"Clan leader, no matter how bad Vice-Clan Leader Ruan is, he is still a member of my Salt Clan. How can he allow others to kill without authorization?"

"Yes, Chief Chen, kill this thief to reinvigorate the gang!"

"The one surnamed Guo, why don't you just arrest him?"

Facing the voices of the other party's crusading and shouting, Guo Ye not only stood still and showed no fear, but also stood the ghost-headed sword in front of his chest, looked around the Juyi Hall with arrogance, and shouted loudly:

"Who dares to kill me?"

This domineering and arrogant gesture enraged the five hall masters even more, and they all left the seat and strode forward to surround Guo Ye.

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Lang stopped him suddenly, walked down the hall and came to Guo Ye, with anger wrapped around his face, he asked in a deep voice: "Guo Inspector, tell me, why don't we dare to kill you?"

Guo Ye slightly shook the ghost-headed broadsword standing in front of his chest, and gently wiped the blood stains on the lower blade with his sleeve, and said calmly: "It's very simple, what identity am I? I am the Marquis of the court, the new Inspector of Yangzhou. Do you think that a dignified governor died in the hands of the Yan gang in Yangzhou before he took office? Do you think the court will ignore it? No, not only will it not be ignored, on the contrary, it will cause an uproar. Otherwise, there will be more people in the future. Which official dares to go to Yangzhou to serve the imperial court? I am afraid that by then, the imperial army will encircle and suppress the waters of Yangzhou, and the day when the salt gangs will be wiped out is not far away. Ha ha, and besides, this is not in the hands of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, this is what they have always wanted Want the result?"

Speaking of this, the faces of the five hall masters surrounding him changed, and they all looked at each other.

On the other hand, Chen Lang was calm, shaking his head and playing as a bachelor, he said with a stern smile: "You don't have to scare me with the army of the imperial court. If you eat Jianghu food, you just put your head on your trouser belt. There will be such a day. Governor Guo, this is not possible It becomes my reason not to kill you. If this is the case, in the future, when the court officials come to the site of my Yan Gang, won’t they kill whoever they say they want to kill? Hehe, if this can scare me, the Yan Gang has already become Yangzhou Zhang. The family's appetizers are gone, how can someone Chen survive to this day?"

Guo Ye nodded, still looking steady, and said: "Of course, what I said just now is only one of the reasons, and there is a second reason to convince the leader Chen. The Salt Gang has always been messing around on the Grand Canal. You should have heard of the Sichuan Cao Gang that exists like your Salt Gang, right?"

Chen Lang was slightly astonished, and subconsciously said: "But it occupies all the rivers in central Sichuan, and the main rudder is set on the Minjiang River. It is known as the Cao Gang with a gang of [-] people?"

Guo Ye nodded, and said seriously: "Exactly. I wonder if Chief Chen thinks the Salt Gang or the Cao Gang are stronger or weaker?"
