"They're going to fight! They're going to fight!"
Rong Shu climbed up the roof while trembling. The disciples of the Flood Dragon Union were surging toward the Qiao Family of the Shun Gate. At the entrance of the Qiao Family, a beautiful woman in white stood with her sword in her hand, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
Rong Shu was so excited that he took out a jujube from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth while shivering. He had this problem. Whenever he was too excited, angry, or fearful, his body would tremble uncontrollably.
Rong Shu was a member of the Five Elements Gang. Seeing that the people of the Flood Dragon Union were getting closer and that the people on the street had all moved to the sides of the road, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He condescendingly looked down at that Smooth School's Cao Quan Duoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduoduodu
Rong Shu suddenly felt that such a pretty girl should be the leader of the Shun Gate. Who would be willing to let such a beauty be bullied? With such a leader, as long as she winked and pursed her lips, everyone would pounce on her like rabid dogs fighting for a bone.
But … the men of the Shun Gate were too unmanly. How could they let such a pretty girl come out alone? Even if she was really good at fighting, could she fight two thousand people? She would be exhausted to death. That was impossible.
However, if he were to mess up her belt or tear her clothes during the fight, revealing her delicate skin and white flesh, and if he were to accidentally let her pull off her dudou … Rong Shu's thoughts of having tender feelings for the fairer sex were quickly replaced by wretchedness.
He carefully moved to the edge of the roof. If such an erotic scene really happened, he had to make sure that he was the one who saw it most vividly! He saw Master Hei and Master Yan striding forward with their men. He saw them stop when they were six meters away from the pretty girl in white, and he saw Master Hei and Master Yan walking forward alone.
Tsk tsk, as expected of a person of status. At this time, he was still trying to be polite before resorting to force. He even cupped his fists and saluted the little beauty. What are you cupping for? Hurry up and tear off her clothes! Why are you kneeling on one knee? Do you have to be so particular?
"Kneel?"
Rong Shu stared fixedly at this astonishing scene in front of him. He suddenly lost the ability to think, and his whole body was like a stone falling from the eaves.
He wasn't wrong. Li Hei and Yan Shiwei were indeed bowing to Gu Zhuting. Not only him, but countless people on the street also saw it. The scene was dead silent.
The cold wind rustled, and the last leaf on the top of the old elm tree was blown off, swirling towards the ground. A crow stretched its neck and cawed twice. Spreading its wings, it flew away from the straw-hat-shaped nest.
Wei Yongtang was very confused when he heard that Li Hei and Yan Shiwei had led all the members of the Flood Dragon Gang to the Shun Gate. Judging from their previous abnormal actions, it was obvious that they were disloyal to the Flood Dragon Gang.
Perhaps it was because Jun Ruyan had suffered a stroke and the Flood Dragon Union had lost its leader, so the two of them were tempted by some big gang and wanted to find a better one. Or perhaps they had reached an agreement to snatch the position of the leader. However, when Young Master Wen was arrested by the government for some unknown crime, they suddenly led all the disciples to attack the Shun Union. This was simply unreasonable.
When Gu Zhuting walked out of Juyi Hall, many people who were watching the commotion followed her out. Then, they quickly flashed to both sides, making their stand clear. Wei Yongtang also led his men to the side, wanting to see what Li Hei and Yan Shiwei were up to.
In the end, he saw Li Hei and Yan Shiwei kneel to Gu Zhuting, and then the two thousand members of the Flood Dragon Gang retreated like a receding tide. Wei Yongtang's mind instantly went blank. It was only when Gu Zhuting helped Li Hei and Yan Shiwei up and led them to the Shun Gate's hall. Someone exclaimed, "The Flood Dragon Gang will join the Shun Gate!" that Wei Yongtang woke up from his shock.
Wei Yongtang wanted to chase after them. He wanted to ask Li Hei and Yan Shiwei why they had betrayed the Flood Dragon Gang, but he had only taken two steps when an inexplicable chill suddenly struck his heart.
How could a mere Shun Gate subdue Li Hei and Yan Shiwei? Even if the Shun Gate was affiliated with the Dugus, small gangs like the Iron Helm Gang and the Six Sails Gang would rush to join them. But the Flood Dragon Gang was different. Li Hei and Yan Shiwei had given up their positions as vice leaders and were willing to become stewards of the Shun Gate?
The more Wei Yongtang thought about it, the more terrified he became. He felt as if a terrible conspiracy was quietly unfolding on Ba, but he didn't know where the mastermind was. He watched as Li Hei and Yan Shiwei followed Gu Zhuting into the Shun Gate. He didn't have the courage to take another step forward.
…
Li Hei had cleansed the Flood Dragon Gang with lightning speed and eliminated the dissenting voices in the Flood Dragon Gang. While everyone was still in shock, he had immediately made the decision to join the Shun Gate. It was actually a very smart move.
He had lived on Ba all his life, and no one knew this place better than he did. Every gang here was like a shark. They hunted their prey together and bullied the weak together. But when one of them was injured, it would immediately become the prey in the mouths of its companions, torn apart and eaten by them.
The Flood Dragon Gang was now the injured shark. The reason why the gangs hadn't taken action was that everything had happened too quickly. Wen Changxing had died without any illness, and Jun Ruyan had suffered an inexplicable stroke. The two incidents had happened on the same day, and the giant sharks who had smelled the scent of blood hadn't had time to react.
If time dragged on, it was hard to guarantee that these gangs wouldn't interfere. Whether they would interfere openly or secretly support someone, he wouldn't be able to control the Flood Dragon Gang anymore. At that time, the Flood Dragon Gang would definitely fall apart. Even if he joined the Shun Gate, it would be difficult for him to guarantee his own interests.
Li Hei was able to hold the power of Cao Quan for a long time even though he had already resigned from his post. This showed how scheming he was. He would either not do anything, or he would do it to the extreme. The Gu brothers' threat to his grandson was actually only one of the reasons why he was willing to give in. What really made him make up his mind was the conversation he had with Gu Zhuting.
He knew that the other party had powerful martial arts and great influence in the government. That was enough. Li Hei believed in the saying, "Only a strong dragon can cross the river." Since the other party dared to brazenly kill Master Wen and force Vice Master Jun to stay in seclusion, there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.
He was already in his sixties and still had a few more years to live. As long as he succeeded in this matter, he would be able to leave an iron family business for his grandson. Therefore, he took the gamble!
The Jiao Dragon Society joining the Shun Gate was the real uproar in Ba Shang. The entire Ba Shang was shocked by the Jiao Dragon Society's strange actions. Wei Yongtang hurriedly returned home. Just as he ordered someone to gather all the stewards for a discussion, Xu Lin came back from the Wan Nian County Yamen with his daughter, Wei Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, what did Wenbin do?"
Wei Yongtang went up to his daughter as soon as he saw her. Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaoxiao's face turned green as she said, "Father, don't mention this person to me again. I don't want to know anything about him!" She then flicked her sleeves and left.
Wei Yongtang looked at Xu Lin in astonishment. Xu Lin smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder Miss is angry. That Young Master Wen is really … Sigh!"
It turned out that the person who sued Wenbin was a member of the Six Sails Gang. This person used to be a member of the Flood Dragon Gang. Once, his son and daughter-in-law were on a ship returning from Yangzhou to Chang 'an. Wenbin happened to be on that ship. When he saw that this person's daughter-in-law was quite pretty, he had evil thoughts.
In the end, Wenbin failed to get what he wanted. Instead, he was seen by the woman's husband. Wenbin's expression turned ugly when he heard about it. In order to vent his anger, Wenbin tied the couple up and threw them into the river. When he returned, he told the family that the couple broke the rules of the ship and was punished according to the gang rules.
The old man was helpless when he heard this. However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Gradually, the truth leaked out. When the old man found out about the real cause of his son and daughter-in-law's death, he angrily complained to the leader. How could the leader punish his son? Instead, he expelled the old man from the Flood Dragon Gang.
The old man then went to Wan Nian County to complain about his wrongdoings, but was rejected because there was no evidence. When Wen Bin heard the news, he sent people to break his legs. If he didn't kill the old man, it would have angered both men and gods, and the old man wouldn't have lived until now.
However, this was three years ago. Why did Wan Nian County suddenly investigate this case? This person was now a member of the Six Sails Gang. The Six Sails Gang had just merged with the Shun Gang. The truth was clear. This was obviously the doing of the Shun Gang. It was the doing of Dugu Wentao, the helmsman of Caokou.
Based on this, there was probably something fishy about Jun Ruyan's stroke. If Jun Ruyan's stroke was fake, it meant that he was afraid of the power behind her. How much power did the other party have?
A little girl from the Shun Gang fought against a hundred people alone. President Wen died without any illness. This was a show of force. Jun Ruyan was bedridden from a stroke. She used the power of the government to arrest Wenbin. This was a show of force. They were aggressive and hostile! At this moment, Wei Yongtang didn't dare to underestimate the Shun Gang. However, he didn't think further.
So what if the Shun Gang rose? It was just the fall of the Flood Dragon Gang and the rise of the Shun Gang. All the gangs in Ba had a new partner. Could it be that the Shun Gang really had the ability to unify the water transportation and recreate the glory of the Shun Gang at the end of the Sui Dynasty?
Wei Yongtang shook his head in disdain. He said to Xu Lin, "I didn't expect Wenbin to commit such an evil act. How can such a scum be a match for my daughter? I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Wen Family and ask Madam Wen to return the marriage contract. The marriage between the Wei and Wen Families will be annulled!"
Xu Lin was stunned. He said in surprise, "Annulled? Then the Flood Dragon Gang … "
Wei Yongtang snorted coldly. "You've gone to the Wan Nian County Yamen. You still don't know what happened in Ba. Li Hei and Yan Shiwei led two thousand disciples into the Shun Gang. The Flood Dragon Gang no longer exists!"
