Holy Bone

Chapter 97

Jin An did not immediately respond to Zhang's request.

Instead, he lowered his head and thought about the risk factor of this matter.

Magistrate Zhang saw the concerns in Jin An's eyes, and he and Feng Zhaotou looked at each other.

Afterwards, Feng Zhaotou coughed lightly and interrupted Jin An's thinking: "After all, there are some risks in this matter. Therefore, this time, the Yali will take the lead in encircling and suppressing the Qingshui Gang, and Master Jin'an can check the assets of the Qingshui Gang at will."

"Young Master Jin An can take [-]% of the assets confiscated by the Qingshui Gang, and Young Master Jin An can have the right of first choice in the front line."

Jin An was stunned when he heard the words.

What is this called?
Is it a full-fledged copycat who holds an official private robbery license?
A gang, what a great business, involves many interests in all aspects, and the number of resources in its hands is naturally conceivable.

Being able to get [-]% of the confiscated assets and having the right of first choice, Magistrate Zhang seems to be determined to eradicate the Qing Shui Gang this time.

It is vulgar to talk about money without money.

Jin An secretly explained in his heart that we are fighting for the great ideal of justice in the world!

……

The people of Chang County tonight.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

The people of Changxian County, who were sleeping soundly, were awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the house and the sound of hooves kicking horses in the middle of the night.

When a commoner is bold, puts on his coat, and quietly opens a gap in the window, he sees a large number of yamen and village warriors on the street in the dark, holding torches in their hands, like a long winding dragon in the dark night, the atmosphere is depressing and chilling. The rapid movement to a certain direction under the night.

As for the two leading horses, one of them was Feng Zhaotou, who was known to all the people of Quanchang County.

Well, the injured Feng Zhaotou.

One was a young man in white clothes, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Young Master Jin An, who had recently made a name for himself in Chang County.

"My child's father, what's going on outside?"

The woman on the bed, huddled under the duvet, nervously asked her man.

Dagui, who was originally frightened by hundreds of men and women outside, heard the voice of his mother-in-law suddenly coming from behind, and almost didn't let his legs go soft.

boom.

Dagui quietly closed the window, then quickly climbed into the bed and hugged his warm mother-in-law.

"It's going to change."

"Hey, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood somewhere..."

"Sleep, sleep, you women know so much what to do, and I don't understand what I told you."

……

Jin An was riding on the back of a jujube red horse, and beside him was Feng Zhaotou, who was also riding a horse.

Under the darkness of the night, a team of a hundred people slaughtered murderously to the outside of the city.

According to Feng Zhaotou's introduction along the way, the headquarters of the Qingshui Gang was not in the city, but outside Changxian County because of the large number of gangs.

And this Qing Shui Gang is the largest gang in Chang County.

But on weekdays, they are honest, one is not abducting women and girls, two is not murdering and kidnapping, and three is not bullying civilians.

Qingshui Gang's largest source of money input is mainly by monopolizing the loading and unloading of merchant ships at Changxian Wharf;
The second is to monopolize all waterways in and out of Changxian County, collect tea fees from passing ships and provide safety;
The third is to monopolize most of the shipyards in Chang County;
The fourth is to provide waterway escort;
And the convenience of occupying the monopoly waterway, helping Neichang County to operate the lucrative business of cloth, tea, medicinal materials, and other various industries are involved.

The existence of the Qing Shui Gang certainly cannot escape the government's eyes and ears.

But sometimes to manage a place, it is not only the water that is clear, but the rationale. Governing a place is the same as managing floods, and it is better to block it.

As long as there is human darkness, there must be an underground world.

Facing the rise of other gangsters who murdered and set fires, disturbed people and kidnapped people, and were dangerous and uncontrollable, it was better to support a gang that abides by the bottom line of morality, and let the Qingshui Gang control and balance all the underground worlds in Changxian County.

But who would have thought.

Qing Shui Gang, who has always been honest and never crossed the red line.

Could it have anything to do with the private gunpowder case?
Jin An sat down next to the colt, and followed Ming, a tall bearded prisoner in prison uniform and shackles.

This bearded prisoner was just brought out of the prison by Feng Chutou.

This time to encircle and suppress the Qingshui Gang, there must be someone who is familiar with the internal environment of the Qingshui Gang to lead the way.

And the identity of this gang member can't be too low, and can't be a little guy on the periphery.

It happened to be in the Changxian prison, where the famous middle-level leader of the Qingshui Gang, who accidentally beat people into serious injuries due to a fight, was detained.

Jin An thought about the current situation of the Qingshui Gang, so he asked the bearded prisoner: "You said, your gang leader and the top members of the gang have a good life, but why are you all thinking about hiding gunpowder?"

"Hidden gunpowder is a serious crime. Once it is verified tonight, it will not only kill the head but also implicate the whole gang. Could it be that your gang leader lost his head and wanted to rebel against the imperial court?"

Unexpectedly, the bearded prisoner was furious: "You are not allowed to insult our leader!"

Seeing that the bearded prisoner was about to ram Jin'an and sit down on the colt, the yamen beside him immediately restrained him, and hit the soft underbelly a few times with the handle of the knife in his hand.

The tall bearded prisoner immediately knelt on the ground in pain, with bulging veins on his forehead and cold sweat.

This person is also a tough guy, and he didn't snort in pain.

Jin An stopped those yamen from continuing to beat the bearded prisoners, looked at the bearded prisoners and said, "Seeing how you maintain the Qingshui Gang leader, and thinking about the Qingshui Gang's rules of conduct, your leaders don't seem to be wicked people. , as a middle-level member of the gang, you must know some insider stories that outsiders don't know..."

"Why don't you tell me in detail, have there been any special changes in your gang recently that have led to the death situation that is now being besieged by the government?"

"If the information you provided today is useful, I can ask Feng Zhaotou and Zhang County magistrate to intercede for you, so that you can make meritorious deeds and save you from innocence."

At this time, Feng Zhaotou, who was beside him, also promised the bearded man at the right time: "At that time, I will be able to intercede with the county magistrate together with Young Master Jin'an for you."

Even Feng Zhaotou personally promised, but Jin An saw that the bearded prisoner was still stubborn, and immediately shook his head in disappointment.

It's not that I'm disappointed that I didn't get useful information.

Rather, he deeply felt that the ancients were poisoned by ignorance and loyalty, and shook his head in disappointment without any self-awareness.

The cost of education for the ancients was high.

So illiteracy is a very common phenomenon.

The illiteracy often represents the difficulty of enlightenment among the people.

But these are the results brought by the imperial technique.

In this period, if you want to discuss imperial techniques with others, even nine heads are not enough to cut off, unless Jin An wants to take the initiative to send two knees and one head.

Jin An looked at the foolish and loyal bearded prisoner: "I know you people in the green forest, the four characters of benevolence, righteousness, filial piety and loyalty are the most important."

"But loyalty is also divided into stupid loyalty."

"Sometimes being ignorant is not necessarily a good thing, but it will harm all the brothers in the gang."

Jin An continued: "Have you ever thought that if the Qingshui Gang really holds the gunpowder secretly, it will be linked to three generations. How many brothers in the gang will be killed?"

"How many wives and daughters will be sold to the brothel and humiliated?"
