Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 27 Casualties
When Ouyang Ye brought people back to Shenmu Trading Company, the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.

Hearing that Ouyang Hu had fallen asleep, Ouyang Ye went to have a look and saw that he was indeed asleep, so he went to the front hall to discuss matters.Tonight, the Shenmu Gang has a lot to deal with.

The front hall of Ouyang Hu's house is facing the front yard and the gate. It is the place where he usually discusses with several high-level members of the gang. When Ouyang Ye came, Chen Yan and Tan Kang were there. The guard of the entire Shenmu firm.

Ouyang Ye sat straight on the grand teacher's chair facing north and south that Ouyang Hu sat in the past, and then looked at Chen Yan, and said, "Does Chen Bo understand the casualties of the brothers in today's gang?"

Chen Yan sighed: "This time the brothers in the gang suffered heavy casualties. Among them, 15 people died in Xitang, 12 people were seriously injured, and almost all of the remaining 13 people were injured. Brother Nantang was bewitched by Tian Yunong, and 11 people died this time. 3 people were seriously injured, 9 people are missing, only 7 people have returned to the business, and they are currently confined in the courtyard of the West Hall.”

"In addition, 3 people were killed, 2 were seriously injured, and 7 others were killed by the guard of the gang leader; 4 people were killed, 2 were seriously injured, and 19 people were left in the Xingtang brother. As for Brother Dongtang, he just came back with the young gang leader. I don't know what happened. .”

Hearing what Chen Yan said, Ouyang Ye made a calculation in his mind.

There are a total of 137 brothers who can fight under the head of the Shenmu Gang, excluding the situation in the East Hall, the total number of dead, seriously injured, and missing people this time is 61 people, almost half of the casualties, it is indeed a heavy one.

But as long as the backbone of the gang is not lost, and there is money and territory, it is easy to add manpower.

However, Ouyang Ye's ambition is not only to be the leader of a small gang, so he said: "Then I will ask Uncle Chen to understand the situation of the damage of Brother Dongtang, and report the brothers who were killed, seriously injured, slightly injured and similarly missing. Sort out a roster as soon as possible, and tonight I will reward the brothers who have made meritorious deeds."

Hearing this, Chen Yan obviously showed some surprise, and immediately nodded with a smile and said: "It's rare that the young master pays so much attention to the aftermath. It's very good, the old man will take care of it."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yan wanted to get up.

But Ouyang Ye motioned him to sit down first, and said: "Although this matter is urgent, it is not urgent. Mr. Tan should tell the story about Tian Yunong being rescued by the gangsters, right? Uncle Chen said to this What do you think?"

After pondering for a while, Chen Yan said: "The Pai Gang has always had gang rules not to interfere with the affairs of the gangs along the river, not to mention that the Shun Liu Pai still has business dealings with our Shenmu Gang. Therefore, Tian Yunong's rescue this time, Most likely it was He Chun who acted on his own initiative, the young gang leader can send someone to contact Shi Paitou of Shunliu Pai to explain the situation, I believe Shunliu Pai will give us an answer."

This thought was similar to Ouyang Ye's second guess, so Ouyang Ye nodded.

After Chen Yan left, Ouyang Ye said to Tan Kang: "Master Tan has worked hard today."

"I failed to catch Tian Yunong. I am ashamed of the entrustment of the young gang leader, and I dare not say it is hard work." Tan Kang cupped his hands with the knife, and then frowned slightly: "By the way, there is still something to tell the young gang leader. .”

"What's the matter?" Ouyang Ye asked.

"When we were chasing and killing Tian Yunong, Tian Yunong once threatened us with a woman and child, saying that they were the family members of the brothers in the gang. Brother Yang Lei and I didn't know the woman, so naturally we wouldn't be offended because of this. Threatened by it, Tian Yunong stabbed the woman and the child with a short spear, pushed them towards us, and ran away again."

"At that time, we were eager to catch Tian Yunong, so we left two brothers to take care of the woman and the child. When we returned later, the woman and the child had already died of excessive blood loss, so we had to bring the body back to the police station. and let the brethren identify it, and see if it is really a brother's family."

After listening to Tan Kang's words, Ouyang Ye couldn't help but think of the short spear Tian Yunong used - made of fine iron, more than a foot long, triangular, with blood grooves, very similar to a military thorn.

It is indeed easy to bleed to death when stabbed by such a weapon.

And from the weapons used, it can also be seen that Tian Yunong's character is sinister and vicious.

At this time, a member of the gang quickly came to the door of the hall and said loudly: "Teacher Tan, brother Dong Wei committed suicide!"

"what?!"

Ouyang Ye and Tan Kang were surprised when they heard this.

Immediately, the two followed the gangster to the scene of Dong Wei's suicide. Seeing that Dong Wei's body was lying down with the woman and child, they couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

Someone nearby reported: "Brother Dong Wei saw the corpse of the woman and the child, first knelt down and cried bitterly, and then he cut his neck and committed suicide if we didn't pay attention."

Hearing this, Tan Kang and Ouyang Ye looked at each other, and then sighed: "It seems that this woman and child should be Dong Wei's family."

Ouyang Ye said expressionlessly: "Put their corpses together with those of other brothers in the gang."

When the two returned to the front hall, Ouyang Ye asked, "Master Tan, have you ever wondered why Dong Wei committed suicide?"

Tan Kang was silent for a while, and then said: "Maybe it's because his wife is dead, so it's hard to accept."

"However, when ordinary people suddenly see the corpses of their wives and children, apart from grief, they should want to know the reason, and even take revenge, right? Dong Wei committed suicide directly, doesn't Mr. Tan find it strange?" Ouyang Ye stared at Tan sharply. Kang.

He felt that Tan Kang should have guessed something like him, but he just didn't want to say it.

Sure enough, Tan Kang closed his eyes, and said with a stiff expression, "Everyone is already dead, so why should the young leader pursue it to the end? Even if Brother Dong Wei did it, it must be because his wife and children were coerced."

Tian Yunong suddenly knew the reality of Ouyang Hu and Ouyang Ye today, and Dong Wei was one of the brothers transferred from the punishment hall to guard Ouyang Hu's house, and Dong Wei didn't ask the cause and effect after seeing the corpse of his wife and children. Suicide, it is easy to think of one thing - because Dong Wei's wife and children were controlled by Tian Yunong, he leaked the secret of Ouyang Ye's enlightenment!

After hearing Tan Kang's words, Ouyang Ye snorted, and said, "If I want to hold Dong Wei accountable, I will not let people put his family of three together with the brothers who died in battle just now."

"However, isn't Hall Master Tan not responsible for this matter? Brother Xing Tang has always been regarded as a confidant by my father, and he has been transferred to guard the house during this period. Dong Wei is one of them. Will it be hijacked by Tian Yunong?"

Tan Kang suddenly opened his eyes, his face turned red with shame, he clenched his teeth and clasped his fists to Ouyang Ye and said, "I will definitely investigate this matter and give the Young Master an explanation!"

"No need." Ouyang Ye said no with a calm expression, "I have talked with Dong Wei and asked him about his family. He said he was single and had no family. Obviously for some reason, he did not want to Let the family live in the compound of the commercial firm, and this is the only way to hide the truth."

"And I'm uncovering this matter today, and I don't want to accuse Mr. Tan. It's just that what Brother Xingtang does often involves secrets in the gang. I hope Mr. Tan can re-examine their family situation. There must be family members, and family members Only live in the business compound. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Tan Kang nodded seriously.

"If there's nothing else to do, Hall Master Tan should go and rest first."

Tan Kang bowed his hands to Ouyang Ye again, turned and left the front hall.

Looking at Tan Kangdao's back, Ouyang Ye couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly - he just revealed the secret of Dong Wei's betrayal of the gang, in fact, not only to avoid similar things in the future, but also to beat Tan Kang.

Tan Kang's martial arts and ability are good, but he is a bit careless in his work.

Of course, it may be because, as Ouyang Hu said, he has never really returned to the Shenmu Gang.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ye couldn't help sighing in his heart: After all, there is still a lack of available manpower.

It seems that after he becomes the leader of the gang, he will not only have to recruit some ordinary gang members, but also find a few talents who can bear heavy responsibilities, so as to further strengthen the power of the Shenmu gang.

In addition, the name of Shenmu Gang is not very pleasant. If the time is right, you can change it...
