Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guo Ye waved his hand, smiled firmly and said, "Don't worry about this old steward, I have my own way, but before Hall Master Lei's funeral, I would like to see Zhenjiang Ruinyi Gang and Jiangdu Twelve Links who are here this time. The person in charge of Yangzhou."

Guanshi Yu replied: "Okay, Ma Qianli, the leader of the Zhenjiang Ruinyi Gang, and Yingyan Laoqi, the head of the Twelve Links in Jiangdu, have already arrived. I will ask my disciples to invite you two."

Guo Ye said good-bye, then looked at the sky outside through the window, and asked, "How long is it until the auspicious time for the funeral?"

Guanshi Yu said, "There is about an hour left!"

"Okay, we must hurry up and prepare!"

Guo Ye immediately shouted at the door: "Zhang Jiujin, Wang Bajin, you two quickly return to the government office, and call Chen Juncheng, Chen Duwei, and all the officials in the government office to wait outside Fengleizhuang Life."

"Here!"

The two people outside the door spoke in unison, and the sound of compact running sounded from outside one after another.

Seeing this, Guanshi Yu didn't know what Guo Ye was going to do, but he also unconditionally cooperated and said, "Then Guo Inspector, please sit down for a while, and the old man will come over to invite Ma Qianli and Eagle Eye Lao Qi Come, see you!"

Guo Ye hummed, and let Steward Yu rush to open the door to leave. He sat down and closed his eyes calmly, secretly thinking about what to say when he saw the two masters for a while.

Chapter 794

Guo Ye stayed alone in the side hall for a while, and Yu Guanshi hurriedly led Ma Qianli, the leader of the Stained Clothes Gang, and Eagle Eye Laoqi, the head of the Twelve Chain Wu, into the door.

Steward Yu quietly closed the doors and windows of the side hall, making it airtight, and invited the two heads to sit down.

After Ma Qianli and Eagle Eye Seventh sat down and looked at Guo Ye, Guo Ye also took a rough look at them.

Eagle-eyed Seventh, as his name suggests, a pair of sharp eyes look around like a goshawk, showing a look of vigilance from beginning to end.

Ma Qianli, on the other hand, was unremarkable, with unkempt hair, unshaven face, shabby rags, and a green bamboo stick in his hand, no different from ordinary beggars on the street.

Guo Ye saw that the two had been looking at him but did not say a word, so he took the lead to break the silence, and said to the two of them kindly, "I and Lei Huhu are best friends during my lifetime. My brother is going to the funeral, he is really of Gao Yi's generation. I have [-] disciples on behalf of Fenglei Hall, and I would like to thank the two masters."

"Jie Jie Jie Jie~~"

Eagle-eyed Lao Qi let out a cry like a night owl, and said with a sinister smile: "Guo Governor doesn't need to be so polite. Hehe, the purpose of our gathering here is very clear, and there is no need to hide it. Let's It's called a funeral, but it actually came from the site after the disbandment of the Fenglei Hall. Governor Guo asked Guanshi Yu to invite the two of us to come here. You should be straightforward and straightforward!"

Ma Qianli, who was sitting opposite, blew his nose, wiped his pickled palms on his tattered clothes, and shouted: "Elder Seven Eagle Eyes is right. If we don't enter the officialdom in life, death is worse than hell. We never talk to the government. Dealing with middle-aged people. If Governor Guo wants to use his status as Yangzhou's parents and officials to persuade us to give up the idea of ​​​​scrambling for land, hey, you'd better save yourselves. Jianghu people have their own rules, and no one can break our jobs, yes No?"

"readily!"

Seeing the two going straight to each other, Guo Ye praised them with both hands, nodded and said, "Since you are straightforward, then I will cut straight to the point and not circle around. Two people, let me tell you the truth, is it right for you to come to Yangzhou to grab the land this time?" False, but now you are not only being used as gunmen, but also being made into dumplings and stewed in a pot, maybe in the end there will be no bones left, and all of you will be smashed in my city of Yangzhou!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Qianli got up suddenly, slammed the green bamboo stick on the ground, and angrily said: "Put your grandma's dog fart! The man has already pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers, don't take it!" Talk big and scare us!"

Eagle-eyed Lao Qi was not as excited as Ma Qianli, he still sat on the top chair, sneered sullenly and said: "Guo Cishi, do you really think that we Jianghu people are brainless? You only rely on [-] soldiers from Yangzhou , just want to beat us out of Yangzhou City after making dumplings, and burn paper and books on your grave—are you fooling ghosts?"

Seeing the reaction of the two, Guo Ye raised the corners of his mouth slightly, waved his hands calmly, and said with a smile: "You two masters, don't get excited, don't be impatient, you have misinterpreted what I said. Steward Yu, it's up to you You tell the ins and outs of the matter to the two masters."

Guanshi Yu hummed, then stood up tremblingly from the top chair, nodded to Ma Qianli and Yingyan Lao Qi, and explained: "The two masters, Governor Guo did not lie, the thing is like this of……"

Afterwards, Manager Yu revealed the relationship between the Zhang family in Yangzhou, the Jinling Jingyi Gang, and the Suqian Horse Gang, and secretly colluded with the Jingyi Gang and the Horse Gang under the help of Zhang's family to prepare for a joint attack today. Said it out.

In the end, Manager Yu smiled wryly and said, "The Dirty Clothes Gang and the Twelve Links are just like our Fenglei Hall. They are all from the rivers and lakes. As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes matter. If friends from the three mountains and five mountains come to Yangzhou, they will come to Yangzhou for the Slender West Lake. Come on, the Fenglei Hall has absolutely nothing to say. Because even if the Fenglei Hall is to be disbanded, it will not be able to block the other brothers from the rivers and lakes. But the Suqian Caravan and the Jinling Jingyi Gang do not abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes. Today, our Hall Master It would be too unreasonable to launch an attack on the day of the funeral and take the opportunity to threaten to seize the gunpowder technique left by our hall master.

If you two don't believe what the old man said, you can send your disciples to the ferry wharf to see if there are many sails on the canal and whether there are as many boats docked as crucian carp crossing the river?Hehe, the Jingyi Gang and the Suqian Caravan have already mobilized in full force, first to seize the gunpowder technique left by our Hall Master Lei, and then use this to occupy the territory of the Slender West Lake and wipe out all the other Jianghu forces gathered in Yangzhou City.It's a plan to kill three birds with one stone. Poor you are kept in the dark by other people's calculations, and you are still fighting here. You are fighting to the death, and you don't know how to make wedding clothes for others! "

After Ma Qianli patiently listened to Yu Guanshi's narration, his temper was immediately suppressed, and he roared furiously: "Qiu Wanchi, the dog day!!! This dog who has forgotten his ancestors, let the beggars not do it If you insist on going to the government, you really lose the face of our ancestors of the beggars. The dog is so good at it. I must uproot the clean clothes gang of this Lao Shizi, and we can't let them humiliate the beggars again. title."

After some scolding, Ma Qianli was so angry that he trembled all over his body, and repeatedly hit the ground with his bamboo stick, almost breaking the green bamboo stick in his hand.

Looking at Ma Qianli's performance, Guo Ye was secretly surprised. Could it be that Zhang Jiujin said that the Jingyi Gang and the Dirty Clothes Gang were at odds with each other?Ganqing'er's Jingyi Gang and Dirty Clothes Gang were originally a family, and they were both descended from the Beggars' Gang.It's just that in the generation of Ma Qianli and Qiu Wanchi, there was a split, and one gang became two factions.One continued to beg for a living in rags and filthy clothes and changed its name to the Dirty Clothes Gang; while the other defected to the government. , turned into a nondescript net clothes gang.

But the more Ma Qianli was like this, the more he felt secretly happy. At least judging from the situation, the general situation was already half done.

At this moment, the eagle-eyed old seventh with a gloomy face suddenly stopped him: "Master Ma, be safe and don't be impatient. Getting angry can easily make people lose their minds, and it's even easier for people to take advantage of loopholes!"

While speaking, he had already turned his sharp eyes to Guo Ye, fixed his eyes on Guo Ye's face for a long time, and asked in a tone-deaf way: "Guo Governor, you let Guanshi Yu talk so much to us, don't you Is it just to remind us that we have fallen into the trick of the Zhang family in Yangzhou?"

From the confrontation with the two of them, Guo Ye could see that Eagle Eye Lao Qi was definitely deeper than Ma Qianli City Mansion, and he was very scheming and difficult to deal with.

Immediately, he shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly: "Boss, don't you think it is such a stupid thing to focus on fighting for the territory at this time? The most important thing right now is for us to unite Let's fight against the Yangzhou Zhang family, the Jingyi gang, and the caravan, and destroy their plots to save ourselves. What do you think?"

"Save yourself?"

Eagle-eyed Lao Qi sneered, continued to stare at Guo Ye, and said, "What can I do to help myself? What's the big deal about a bowl-sized scar on my head? Governor Guo may have the same thoughts as the Zhang family, and wants to take Shall we be gunners?"

Guo Ye was blocked by the words of the eagle-eyed seventh, and almost choked up. Grandma, this eagle-eyed seventh is really difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Guo Ye had nothing to say, the eagle-eyed old seventh continued with a smug face, "Guo Inspector, we gangsters never deal with the government. As the saying goes, you can't enter the officialdom when you are born, and you can't go to hell if you die. Even if you are clean The Yi Gang and the Horse Gang secretly colluded, and they had long planned to take the opportunity to destroy us and dominate the Huaiyang area. Bang Bang is seriously injured, Ma Zhuang and I can't get out of the whole body? As long as we can leave Yangzhou safely, we will have a chance to make a comeback and avenge our hatred."

I'm sorry, Guo Ye was depressed for a while, he was really frightened and frightened, he was afraid of death, dare to say that this eagle-eyed old seven would rather fight to wipe out the whole army than cooperate with him.

Immediately, he didn't bother to lobby the two of them any more, and said angrily: "Hmph, kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs. Since the chief executive is determined to seek death and ruin the lives of you two gangs for nothing, what is the official talking about?"

"Of course, things are not absolute!"

Unexpectedly, Eagle-eyed Seventh suddenly changed the subject, looked at Guo Ye with a sad look and asked: "If Governor Guo has enough reasons to persuade us not to fight for the territory and not let us come to Yangzhou for nothing, hehe, I think We can still think about it and work together. Don’t you think so, Master Horse?”

After finishing speaking, Eagle-eyed Seventh turned his head and winked at Ma Qianli, who was still panting heavily.

Ma Qianli immediately came to understand, nodded and echoed: "That's right, that's right, there must be some benefits for us to contribute, and we can't go to Yangzhou for nothing."

Eagle-eyed Lao Qi smiled and cursed with a look of complacency: "Master Ma Gang, you speak too directly, so keep a low profile and be reserved!"

Fuck!

Guo Ye was about to swear at Hawkeye Lao Qi again. Damn it, he gasped for breath when he spoke. Waiting for me here?

Guo Ye sneered secretly in his heart, hehe, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse some grass. People in the Jianghu talk about themselves so freely, and they still can't get rid of the word "interest".

Fortunately, I have already prepared!

Immediately, he said to Guanshi Yu: "Guanshi Yu, please be a witness today."

Afterwards, he swaggered back to the chair, raised Erlang's legs and asked Hawkeye Lao Qi and Ma Qianli, "Don't you just want benefits? Don't worry, as long as you promise not to fight for the territory again, you are willing to cooperate with me to cross the border." After the catastrophe in front of you, the benefits will definitely not be lost to you. Moreover, the benefits I promised you and the two gangs will definitely be greater than the profits that Fengleitang made from paying taxes in the Slender West Lake area, it is simply a lucrative business."

"Really?"

Ma Qianli's eyes brightened immediately, his face was filled with joy, he kept gearing up, and asked loudly: "What's the benefit, tell me quickly, Governor Guo!"

Eagle Eye Seventh pulled Ma Qianli's sleeve again, and reminded in a low voice: "Reserved, calm."

Then he put away his gloomy tone and urged Guo Ye: "Guo Inspector, please listen carefully, and tell me about your benefits!"
