Chapter 81 Cao Gang
The Jiangyang thief Mao Shiba and the Qing Gang, who sold private salt, fought against each other due to conflicts and grievances. In the end, Mao Shiba killed Chen Yuzhang, killed the elder of the Qing Gang, and deposed the leader Zhao Daoyuan, and disbanded the Qing Gang.
The Qing Gang had no leader, and the gang members dared not provoke Mao Shiba and had to scatter birds and beasts.
The news spread throughout the Jianghu City in Yangzhou City two hours after Gaotai and the Qing Gang. After learning about it, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly rode his horse to Wantou Town.
The Yangzhou government also learned about the emergence of the rebel thief Mao Shiba in Wantou Town, but there are currently no masters in Yangzhou City, with 300 quotas and more than 100 sailors who are actually 100 digits cannot bear the powerful Mao Shiba.
The Yangzhou magistrate had to write a letter to the court and asked Ao Shaobao to send masters to capture him again, but he did not dare to send anyone, so he had to let Mao Shiba be rampant in Wantou Town.
After Mao Shiba personally expelled and beat dozens of injured Qing Gang disciples, there was finally no one else in the huge Qing Gang selling private salt. The leader of the gang Zhao Daoyuan became a useless person, and the core disciples were also seriously injured. All the peripheral disciples were scared and fled. There was almost no one in the Qing Gang base.
Gao Tai packed thousands of taels of gold plundered in the Qing Gang and carried it on his body, and ignored the other treasures and porcelain. As soon as he walked out of the door, he heard Wei Xiaobao shouting not far away: "Master! Why did you do such a big thing on your back? Mom Spicy Custard, can you want to leave me?"
Gao Tai turned his head and looked at him. Sure enough, he saw Xiaobao turning over and dismounting, and ran over panting.
He reached out and patted Xiaobao's head, Gao Tai said, "I'm going to kill and set fire here. Are you going to be dead?"
Wei Xiaobao rubbed his head and said angrily: "You old ghost are so cruel and don't want your disciple?"
Gao Tai pulled Xiaobao over and said, "Let's go to the Caogang station!"
The two of them quickly left Wantou Town and walked south along the river.
Both Gao Tai and his disciples did not take a boat, and they stopped and stopped on the road. They arrived in Hangzhou City in about five days.
Wei Xiaobao asked Gao Tai why he didn't take a boat, which would not be tired or save time. Gao Tai replied: "I killed the elders of the Qing Gang, and then destroyed their leader, and forced them to disband the gang. Do you think the Qing Gang members have eaten? Most of the ships in Jiangnan and Jiangbei are controlled by the Qing Gang. When we got on the boat, I went to Jiuting after all my skills. It's not safe, but it's still convenient to go on the road..."
Wei Xiaobao was silent for a long time after hearing this. This was the first time he heard the life-and-death battle, and he couldn't help but think more in his heart.
It was already noon when the master and apprentice arrived in Hangzhou. After entering the city, Gao Tai led Xiaobao to lead the horse. Wei Xiaobao looked at the wide streets and tourists, and couldn't help but say, "Mom Spicy Dipper! This place is more lively than Yangzhou. Master, aren't you going to Beijing to compete with Obai? Why are you coming to Hangzhou?"
Gao Tai looked around with bright eyes, and took him to see the Leifeng Tower of West Lake not far away, and said with a smile: "Finish it! Let's go, even if I destroy the Qing Gang, they will still appear in a few days. Called the Zi Gang of Dog Ri, what can I do with the Green Gang?"
Gao Tai said as he walked, "So I have to think of a way to let the Qing Gang use it for me..."
Wei Xiaobao blinked and said, "Why did you want to convince them and come to Hangzhou?"
Gao Tai smiled softly and said, "I am the big enemy of the Qing Gang. How can I subdue them when I come forward? I have to let other forces in the river do it. There is an emerging small gang in Hangzhou that relies on the river to make a living..."
Wei Xiaobao flashed his spirit and suddenly realized: "Oh! Old ghost, you are too jealous!"
Gao Tai gently slapped Xiaobao in the back of the head and said, "How do you talk to me?"
...
It turned out that when Gao Tai was preparing to attack the Qing Gang, he also focused on a small gang "Cao Gang" that emerged in Hangzhou in the past two years.
The leader of the Cao Gang Gang was named Weng Yan, who was a loser. Because Hangzhou was connected to the Grand Canal, Weng Yan had some effort and so he attracted a group of people to establish a gang that manages porters, sailors and boats near Hangzhou. The development has been very good in the past two years, but it is very different from the Qing Gang.
The Cao Gang's gang station is located on the east side of West Lake, which is complemented by Leifeng Pagoda and has a very good view.
Gao Tai led his horse to the front of the courtyard. He saw the plaque saying "The Complete Streets of Jiuzhou". He was about to climb up the steps, but he saw a young man walking out of the gate. He bowed and said, "Where did you come from your friends?"
Gao Tai slapped his waist and said, "My surname is Mao, come to see Mr. Weng of your gang!"
"What's wrong with Mr. Mao?"
"The matter is serious, and you can only say it when you meet Mr. Weng."
When the man saw Gao Tai coming alone, he didn't look like an enemy with a child, he nodded and said, "Please wait for Brother Mao, I'll report it."
After saying that, the man walked in and closed the door. After a while, the door opened and the man led a tall man with a shiny braid to come out.
The tall man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute when he saw Gao Tai, saying, "Is it that Mr. Mao Shiba, who is the Five Tigers' Break Sword?"
Gao Tai bowed and said, "Mr. Weng is well-informed!"
Weng Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I just heard about Mr. Mao's heroic deeds last night. I didn't expect to meet this year. Please, Mr. Mao, please sit in the house."
Gao Tai took Wei Xiaobao and Weng Yan to the courtyard, entered the main hall and sat down.
Weng Yan greeted the tea and asked carefully: "Master Mao, I wonder what advice you have?"
Gao Tai took out a hand towel from his arms, dipped it in the steaming tea in the teacup, wiped his beard that was stuck on dust as he rushed to the road, and said, "I can't tell you how to tell me, I just want to discuss a business with Mr. Weng, and you can dominate the big business of the canal and Huaihe River. I wonder if you are interested?"
After saying that, Gao Tai looked at Weng Yan with a burning look. Weng Yan claimed to be a Confucian general and loved his wife to call him his husband rather than the leader. So after hearing Gao Tai's words, he was shocked and quickly calculated. After a while, he swallowed and said, "I wonder how the business Mr. Mao said? My Cao Gang is weak, so I am afraid it will be difficult to support this kind of business..."
Before Weng Yan finished speaking, Gao Tai slapped the table and said, "Don't you want to do it? Otherwise, go and be the same person as Zhao Daoyuan..."
Before Gao Tai finished speaking, Weng Yan quickly got up and sweated heavily and said, "Master Mao! Xiaoke naturally wants to do it, but he still needs your advice. I am afraid that what I do will not be good will be missed."
Gao Tai nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Wei Xiaobao and said, "This is my apprentice Wei Xiaobao, Xiaobao, this is the leader of the Cao Gang, Tie Abacus Weng Yan, you know each other."
"Wei Shao is so heroic that he has become a famous teacher again. In the future, he will be a great hero of the martial arts world..." Weng Yanke politely praised Wei Xiaobao.
Xiaobao's mind turned around and realized that the bearded old ghost asked him to promote him, such as the iron abacus, and when he encountered a broken door knife, he had to be a turtle, a turtle...
Wei Xiaobao's nostrils were facing the sky and snorted coldly: "Mr. Weng is lucky! The master has always liked to support his juniors. You have worked hard in Hangzhou to manage this situation. He is very concerned. The Qing Gang is so busy with shit. The master couldn't stand it and took action to clean up. However, our canal and Huaihe can't be without a leader, so I recommend Mr. Weng to the master. Think about it, if you can take all the subordinates of the Qing Gang, will you monopolize the power of the canal? I'm afraid there will be endless money to spend..."
"It's a rebellious act..." Weng Yanxin shook his head secretly at Wei Xiaobao's words, but he also understood what Gao Tai meant. He didn't dare to refuse, and at the same time knew it was an opportunity.
Looking at Gao Tai, who was alive, Weng Yan first thanked Wei Xiaobao, and then asked: "Brother Wei, if Mr. Mao supports Xiaoke, then he will do it naturally. But my own strength is limited, I am afraid that the remnants of the Qing Gang may not be willing to submit..."
Wei Xiaobao thought of a joint without Gao Tai Sect, pointing to Weng Yan and laughing: "You are such a elm-headed person! Idiot, my master said that the Qing Gang was not allowed to be established, and it has been dissolved. How can an ordinary gang be able to accept people from the Qing Gang? Although they can still change their appearance in a while, this critical moment is that one or two months is the time when people are in chaos? If you dare to accept them, how can they not work?"
Weng Yan suddenly slapped his head and smiled, "Yes! Yes! They don't know that I am Mr. Mao's person. If I were not afraid of death, it would be possible for a little snake to swallow an elephant! Haha..."
As he spoke, Weng Yan smiled and looked at Wei Xiaobao, and the two of them laughed together.
