East Factory Governor

Chapter 301 Dark Cloud Sect

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Wang Yunsheng?"

It seems that after arriving in Hangzhou, they should go to this Wang Yunsheng first, and maybe they can get some useful clues.

"Master Qin, is it possible that Master Zhao has something to do with your gang?" Zhang Qihuai asked.

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "That's not true. By the way, I asked you about Mr. Zhao's affairs, and I also asked Deputy Gang Leader Ma and Chief Zhang Tuo to keep it secret for us."

Ma Sansao and Zhang Qihuai said in unison, "That's natural."

I thought to myself, this matter has nothing to do with our Cao Gang, so why speak out to offend the Jianghe Gang?

Qin Shuhuai took a sip of tea and asked again, "Have you two heard of the Dark Cloud Sect?"

Zhang Qihuai's face changed slightly, and he said, "Master Qin, could it be that the people from the Dark Cloud Sect want to trouble you?"

"That's not true, I'm just curious."

Sitting at the side drinking tea, Cheng Feng's expression froze suddenly, and he thought: This Chief Qin took the initiative to inquire about the Dark Cloud Sect with the Cao Gang, it seems that he is really planning to attack the Dark Cloud Sect!This is a good thing for myself.You must know that if you are captured this time, according to the rules of the sect, you must commit suicide.If you don't commit suicide, then the sect will issue an order to kill yourself in the future.If the leader of the Qin sect could wipe out the Dark Cloud Sect, then he might survive.

But then I thought again: Will this Chief Qin let me live?

By the way, I will tell him everything I know and do my best to exterminate the Dark Cloud Sect for him, maybe he will be able to let me go.Didn't everyone in Jianghu say that the leader of the Qin clan is a man of benevolence and righteousness?

Zhang Qihuai said, "The Dark Cloud Sect is the largest killer organization in the south of the Yangtze River. Its headquarters should be near Yangzhou, but no one knows where it is. "Unrighteousness" means to kill only these three types of people. But these organizations are well-known. I think they will kill anyone as long as they are given money. By the way, it is said that their suzerain was also an official before, and was later eunuch It was because of the frame that he had no choice but to resign and created this sect."

Ma Sansao added, "Although the Dark Cloud Sect has not been established for a few years, it seems to be very powerful. There are many masters in the sect. However, they have almost no intersection with martial arts. The only time they had a fight with He Yunbie, the third elder of the Tianshan Sect. After a direct conflict, He Yunbie was cut off with an arm, and the Tianshan faction also chose to calm the matter and did not go to retaliate."

Qin Shuhuai frowned and thought to himself, the Tianshan faction is a wealthy family second only to the six major factions, so they can only consider themselves dumb when they meet the Dark Cloud Sect?This Dark Cloud Sect seems to have a strong background.

It is said that their suzerain was framed by the eunuch party before resigning from office and founding the sect. Could it be that their suzerain is a member of the Donglin party?If this is the case, isn't the Dark Cloud Sect the Queen's force of the Donglin Party?However, Wei Zhongxian had dealt with many people back then, and not all of them were from the Donglin Party. It is still a bit early to draw this conclusion.

But this Dark Cloud Sect is a bit evil, it's better to check it when you have time.

At this point in the conversation, Qin Shuhuai got to the point and said, "By the way, Deputy Ma and Zhang Ruozhu, we want to go to Hangzhou by boat. But now that the officers and soldiers are under martial law at the pier, it will be inconvenient for us to go directly, so please help me." Do me a favor and get me on board."

Ma Sansao and Zhang Qihuai looked at each other, both a little confused.

Zhang Qihuai thought, isn't the Jianghe gang always close to the imperial court?Why did the government embarrass them all of a sudden?Could it be that the whole city is under martial law today, and they are the people the government wants to arrest?

Who cares, whoever wants to hunt him down will be unlucky anyway, who doesn't know that he has a good relationship with the little emperor Chongzhen?Of course, our Cao Gang will help with such a small matter.

So he said, "Leader Qin, just don't worry, when the time comes, you will go south on our merchant ship. It's just that when you go up, you may have to be wronged and condescend to stay in the cargo box for a while."

"It's okay, as long as I can go up. Then I would like to thank Master Zhang."

Zhang Qihuai said with a smile, "Governor Qin is being polite, and trivial matters are nothing to worry about." He thought, as long as you don't come to extort money, everything is easy to talk about.

By this time, it was midnight.Zhang Qihuai politely wanted to stay with Qin Shuhuai for one night, but Qin Shuhuai said that he would leave soon.Zhang Qihuai was eager to send him away quickly, so he didn't want to keep him anymore, and immediately arranged everything.

The Cao Gang has worked in Yangzhou for many years and is very familiar with the local officers and soldiers. In addition, the general government will not take the initiative to trouble the martial arts sects, so the Cao Gang’s goods are only inspected for a symbolic number, and the rest are all released.

Just like that, everyone hid in the cargo box of the Cao Gang, and boarded the merchant ship of the Cao Gang one by one.

After the ship lifted anchor overnight, they were politely invited out by the Cao Gang, and then brought to the crew lounge, where they were served with delicious food and drink.

The boat was boring, so Meng Wei and the others continued to extract confessions from the killer of the Dark Cloud Sect.Cheng Feng had already decided to fully cooperate with them, so he told everything he knew without torture.

However, this kid is just the bottom-level killer of the Dark Cloud Sect, so he doesn't know much about the high-level affairs of the sect. It is said that every time a task is received, everyone gathers at the mountain temple ten miles outside Yangzhou City, and after completing the task and receiving the reward, they go home separately.

Speaking of which, the organization of the Dark Cloud Sect seems to be very loose.

Qin Shuhuai didn't believe it, this sect was so powerful that even the Tianshan sect had to admit it, how could the organization be so loose?
So he asked again, "Apart from you killers, the Dark Cloud Sect has no other killers?"

Cheng Feng said, "There must be, but it is impossible for us outside killers to know how many, who or even where there are inside killers. If an outside killer wants to enter the inner door, he has to go through a severe test. If you don’t reach the first level of the Profound Realm, you will definitely not be able to pass the test. The one we were leading before was just upgraded to become an inner disciple.”

"First-class Xuantong Realm?" Qin Shuhuai frowned, "The requirements are so high?"

You must know that in the previous Jianghe gang, the four hall masters of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu were only around the fifth rank of Xuantong Realm, and the first rank of Xuantong Realm can already be the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Cheng Feng said, "The requirement to be an insider killer is indeed very high, but the treatment after entering is completely different. It is said that the insider killer can be taught martial arts by the suzerain himself, and the monthly salary is higher than that of ordinary officials. , so many people want to go in. Especially those who were hunted down by the martial arts enemies, many of them entered the sect."

"So you, Dark Cloud Sect, are very rich? Where did the money come from? It may not all be earned from killing people, so how many people do you have to kill in a year?"

"I've also wondered about this. Outer door killers like us actually pay a lot. If this mission is successful, one person can get 30 taels, so the inner door killer's salary will be even more. But we also You can receive one or two missions, unless the employer gives you a lot of money, the sect should be unable to make ends meet."

Qin Shuhuai pondered for a while, and said, "So, Dark Cloud Sect is backed by a gold master?"
