The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 260 Infighting

As soon as Kang Dayong and others docked the boat and docked, they saw a group of people walking over in a swaggering manner. The leader was his second brother-in-law Gu Lang, one of the two legitimate sons of Gu San Mazi, the head of Dulong Island, and the second in rank. , the people below call him Mr. Lang. This man looks like his father, and his face is also pockmarked, so he is nicknamed Xiaoer Pockmarked.

Let's say that this little Erpazi is not very capable, but he has a big temper, even worse than Kang Dayong. Moreover, relying on his status, he always treats Kang Dayong, his brother-in-law, without any pretense, and even shouts at him, so Kang Dayong When Dayong saw this person, his face suddenly darkened.

At this time, Gu Lang led a group of men to the front. After looking at Kang Dayong up and down, he said in a strange tone: "Oh, isn't this my good brother-in-law? I heard that you captured Haimen County a few days ago. You have made a lot of money, and you even opened warehouses to store grain and recruit troops. There was a lot of noise. I thought you were going to stand on your own feet? Why are you back in disgrace now? Where is your ship? And where are the brothers you brought with you? "

Kang Dayong said solemnly: "This has nothing to do with Second Master Qian Lang, get out of the way!"

Gu Lang sneered: "It's none of my business? Don't forget that this Dulong Island is still named Gu. Who do you think Kang Dayong is? You dare to lead people to attack Haimen County without consulting my father. My father looked at you at the beginning I still have some ability to reuse you, and even recruit you as my son-in-law, but who would have thought that you would become lawless and do whatever you want just because you have achieved some merits, and now you don’t even care about my father!"

Kang Dayong's face became even colder when he heard this. Upon seeing this, the golden-toothed dog of the Ninth Master quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Second Master Lang, please calm down. We are all a family, why should we hurt the harmony..."

Before the golden-toothed dog could finish speaking, Gu Lang raised his hand and gave him a slap on the ear, scolding: "Get out of here, do you have the right to speak here? Your golden-toothed dog is just a dog under my father's command. That’s all.”

The golden-toothed dog covered his face and stepped aside in shame, but Gu Lang didn't seem to notice the cold murderous intention hidden in Kang Dayong's eyes, and continued to point at Kang Dayong's nose and scolded: "Kang, don't think that I am Brother and brother don’t know about your frivolous nature. As long as brother and I are here, don’t have any wishful thinking. Bah! If you are sensible, hand over the power yourself. For the sake of my sister, you can at least continue to stay. You can eat well and drink hot food on the island, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, otherwise..."

Kang Dayong was originally a cruel and murderous person. Hearing this, his murderous intention became even more intense, and he said ferociously: "What else?"

Seeing Kang Dayong suddenly look ferocious, Gu Lang couldn't help but take a step back in shock. At this moment, another group of people came over in a hurry, and the leader was Gu Ming, the eldest son of Gu San Mazi.

When Gu Lang saw his elder brother arriving, he suddenly became brave and said loudly: "Otherwise, I will destroy you."

"Boy, shut up!" Gu Ming quickly approached and shouted, winking secretly.

Gu Lang had no choice but to shut up angrily. Kang Dayong was so skilled and could kill people so quickly that he was still a little afraid.

Kang Dayong glanced at Gu Lang contemptuously, then cupped his hands towards Gu Ming and said, "Brother!"

Gu Ming was about thirty or forty years old. He looked much more stable. He nodded and said: "The second brother has a bad temper and a bad mouth. Brother-in-law, please don't take it to heart."

Kang Dayong said coldly: "If you're used to it, just treat him as a fart!"

Gu Lang was furious, and when he was about to explode, he was glared at by his elder brother Gu Ming. He remembered that his father had already prepared to destroy Kang Dayong, but it was not easy to cause trouble at this time, so he suppressed his anger.

Gu Ming glanced at the four-bow boats on the dock and frowned: "Why are there only four-bow boats? Where are the other boats and brothers? By the way, the fifth master didn't come back with you?"

Kang Dayong said with a dark face: "Don't mention it. If that stinky bitch Qin Hongyu hadn't suddenly come to cause trouble and took away some of the brothers, I wouldn't have been defeated. As a result, I was unlucky enough to encounter a big storm on the way back. Now only Let’s get off the four-bow boat and five hundred brothers.”

Gu Ming couldn't help being surprised, but Gu Lang was not surprised but happy, and gloated: "Why are you so disgraced? I really suffered a defeat. There were dozens of bow ships and three thousand brothers. Now only four bow ships and five are left." Hundreds of people, let’s see how you explain it to my father, hehe!”

Gu Ming's face was extremely ugly. Kang Dayong had lost nearly 30% of Dulong Island's manpower this time, as well as dozens of large ships. The losses were heavy. He said in a deep voice: "Didn't the Fifth Master come back with you?"

Kang Dayong snorted coldly: "We originally came back together, but no one was seen after the storm. Maybe they were buried in the sea."

Gu Ming's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Follow me, the boss wants to see you, and everyone else is waiting here." After saying that, he turned around and walked away, while Kang Dayong followed him with determination.

When Kang Dayong walked away, Gu Lang waved his hand leisurely to the golden-toothed dog of the Ninth Master.

The golden-toothed dog hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "What are your orders, Mr. Lang?"

Gu Lang looked greedily at the four bow boats on the pier and said, "Although you suffered a defeat this time, you finally captured a county. You should get a lot of good things, right?"

The golden tooth dog said awkwardly: "I got some, but most of them were thrown away at the retreat. Later, they encountered a storm and sank a lot. Otherwise, they would have been taken out to honor Second Master Lang."

"Stop talking nonsense, I will find out if there is anything there as soon as I get on the ship and search." After Gu Lang said that, he went straight to the ship with a group of confidants.

Upon seeing this, the golden-toothed dog's eyes flashed coldly, and he winked secretly at Li Hongji. The latter nodded casually, rushed forward quickly, and led Gu Lang and others onto Kang Dayong's boat.

Kang Dayong captured Haimen County this time. He indeed looted a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and calligraphy. He packed hundreds of boxes and hid them all in the bottom cabin. Li Hongji took the initiative to donate all these belongings. come out.

Gu Lang was very satisfied with this. He patted Li Hongji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You're a good boy. What's your name? I don't think I've seen you before?"

Li Hongji said with a smile: "The younger one is called Li Ji. He has recently joined the third master's family. Since he knows a few words, the third master made me a little boss."

Gu Lang said disdainfully: "What a bullshit third-in-command, you won't be anymore soon. I think you are quite smart. Please serve me from now on. I will ensure that you live a better life than you do now."

Li Hongji's eyes flashed, and he quickly said happily: "Thanks to Mr. Lang for being so considerate, I am so grateful. By the way, the Third Master... No, Kang Dayong also snatched many young and beautiful beauties in Haimen County this time. He selected a few of the most outstanding ones and locked them in another boat, preparing to secretly enjoy them after returning to the island."

Gu Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked Li Hongji to lead the way, and left most of his confidants to carry the hundreds of boxes of gold and silver, while he only took two of his confidants with him.

Let's say that Li Hongji took Gu Lang on another bow boat and entered the cabin. The latter couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the beauty?"

Li Hongji smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll burn more for you later!" After saying that, he slashed with his sword.

Gu Lang's expression changed drastically. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Before he could react, his head fell on the ship's board with a grunt, and blood spattered on the spot. The two henchmen he brought with him were also stabbed to death from behind by Li Hongji's men. .

Li Hongji killed Gu Lang, tidied up a little, and then got off the boat as if nothing had happened and came to the dock. At this time, Gu Lang's confidants were busy moving boxes of belongings off the boat. When the leader saw Li Hongji coming back alone, He couldn't help but wonder: "Li Ji, where is Mr. Lang?"

Li Hongji looked ambiguous and said: "Second Master Lang is having a good time, it's not good for Zhu to be in the way."

Gu Lang's confidants all understood what he said and stopped asking any more questions and continued busy moving the belongings.

Li Hongji offered to help again. Gu Lang's confidants were all lazy people, and they were happy to have help. So he asked Li Hongji to take people to move all the boxes to the warehouse on the island, and they followed them with a bang. later.

Besides, Kang Dayong was led by his brother-in-law Gu Ming to a building on the island. He saw a plaque hanging on the door with the words "Dulong Palace" written on it, which was quite powerful.

Gu Ming stood still in front of the door and signaled Kang Dayong to hand over his weapon. The latter calmly handed the long knife he carried to the guard and walked in.

The furnishings in the room are quite simple. Among them is a grand master's chair. On the wall behind it is a huge picture of "dragon" with an iron hook and a silver hook. The writing is vigorous and impressive.

I saw an old man with gray hair leaning back on the Taishi chair. He was slightly rickety and looked to be about sixty years old. His pockmarked old face was covered with wrinkles and mottled hair. The slightly cloudy triangular eyes looked even more menacing. As the saying goes, "The deep pine trees in the stream make me forget my glory, and the sky is high and the clouds are so light that I can relax." As most people grow older and experience various ups and downs in life, their temperaments will become peaceful and peaceful, and they will be indifferent to the world. Therefore, The appearance will also become kinder with age, but there are exceptions, such as Gu San Mazi, whose appearance becomes more fierce as he gets older. This is probably because the appearance comes from the heart.

In the room at this moment, in addition to Gu San Mazi, there were several elderly elders, and there was also a strange face that Kang Dayong did not recognize.

It is worth mentioning here that there is no second master in Dulong Island. The original second master was Qin Hongyu’s father, who was Gu San Mazi’s childhood friend. This man saved Gu San Mazi’s life many times, and later also replaced him. Gu San Mazi died while blocking the knife. Since then, the position of second boss has been vacant.

From this point of view, although Gu Sanmazi, a murderous salt owl, was cruel, he was still very affectionate. At least he was kind to Qin Hongyu, an orphan who had grown up.

Let's get back to the topic. After Kang Dayong came in, he immediately saluted Gu San Mazi who was sitting in the seat and said, "I've seen the master."

Gu Sanmazi hummed expressionlessly and asked, "That Hongyu girl didn't come back with you?"

Kang Dayong replied: "We encountered a big storm halfway and everyone got separated."

Gu San Mazi suddenly said displeased: "So you just left Hongyu girl behind and came back first?"

Kang Dayong said quickly: "My son-in-law has been searching on the nearby sea for a long time but can't find it. I woke up again. My father-in-law, please ask the fifth master to summon my son-in-law back to the island urgently. I am afraid of being delayed for too long, so I rushed back to the island first."

Gu San Mazi snorted coldly and said: "I won't argue with you in advance. I ask you, who asked you to lead the attack on Haimen County on your own initiative? You also killed local officials, opened warehouses to stockpile grain and recruited troops. You simply don't know the heights of the world. You Do you still have the big boss like me in your eyes?"

Although Gu San Mazi proclaimed himself the Dulong King, he always used to call himself Lao Tzu, which shows his domineering and strong character.

Kang Dayong bowed his head and said: "Master, please calm down. My son-in-law witnessed my father and brother being assassinated and silenced by those dog officials outside Yangzhou City that day. I was so angry that I couldn't calm down, so I made such an impulsive move."

Gu Sanmazi slammed the table and cursed: "Do you know how much trouble your impulsiveness will bring to me? If the imperial court sends navy to encircle and suppress me, the entire Dulong Island will suffer!"

Kang Dayong said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? It's not like the imperial court has never sent navy troops. If you can beat them, they'll fight. If you can't beat them, you'll be done with it."

"Fuck your mother!" Gu San Mazi shouted loudly: "How can a monk run away and run away from the temple? Is it easy for me to save this family fortune? Then the whole island will be burned down by the officers and soldiers, and we will have to start all over again!"

Kang Dayong raised his eyebrows and said: "Haimen County will fight if they don't want to fight, and those dog officials will kill if they don't want to kill me. What do you always say? Why don't you chop off my head and plead guilty to the court?"

Gu Sanzi stood up with a bang, the spots on his face trembled with anger, his triangular eyes were fierce, and he said ferociously: "Okay, as expected, the wings are hardened. It seems that I really can't let you go. Someone..."

Before Gu San Mazi could finish his words, Kang Dayong rushed forward as quickly as a leopard, with the five fingers of his right hand spread out, locking Gu San Mazi's throat like an iron hoop, and at the same time shouted sternly: "Don't even move!"

The pirates who were charging forward with swords suddenly froze on the spot. When Gu Ming saw that I was being controlled, he couldn't help but yelled in surprise and anger: "Kang Dayong, what do you want to do? Let my father go immediately!"

Kang Dayong said with disdain: "You are dreaming!"

After all, Gu San Mazi had been through a big storm, but he still remained calm at this moment, and said with a gloomy expression: "Kang Dayong, even if you kill me, you will never leave alive. Stop now, and I can spare your life."

Kang Dayong said with a cruel smile: "Gu San Mazi, you are so confused. If you are not sure, how dare I touch you?"

At this moment, there was a fight and screams outside, and then a group of Japanese pirates holding bloody weapons rushed in first, and the leader was none other than Saburo Kato.

As mentioned earlier, Kang Dayong gathered a group of Japanese warriors, including ronin warriors and Japanese pirates who robbed homes and homes. They were all brutal characters who killed without blinking an eye. Although this Japanese pirate team was small in number, it was one of Kang Dayong's subordinates. Playing a trump card, every time he goes out to rob, he will send these Japanese pirates to charge, and they will always be unfavorable.

It is said that after Li Hongji killed Gu Lang, he took the Japanese pirates to carry the boxes to the warehouse on the island on the pretext of helping to carry the belongings. As a result, he walked near Dulong Temple and killed Gu Lang's henchmen, and then rushed in directly. Dulong Palace.

These Japanese pirates were extremely ferocious, and the pirates guarding outside the temple could not resist them, and they dispersed in an instant.

When Kang Dayong saw the help coming, he was immediately reassured and laughed loudly and said: "Old man, go to the underworld and be your Dulong King. From now on, I, Kang Dayong, will be in charge of Dulong Island."

After saying that, he exerted force on his hand and tore Gu San Mazi's throat, tearing out his trachea and blood vessels. Blood spurted out all over him, and it was extremely bloody.

"Dad!" Gu Ming yelled in grief and anger, and was about to pounce, but was killed by Saburo Nakato with a knife in the middle, and Gu Ming's closest men were also killed by the Japanese chopping claws and chopping vegetables.

The elders sitting on the chairs and the unfamiliar face were all frightened, slumped there and shivering.

Kang Dayong threw Gu Sanzi's pockmarked corpse on the ground, stared at the elders and said with a cruel smile: "I will be the head of Dulong Island from now on, do you have any objections?"

Those elders didn't dare to object and quickly expressed their support.

Only then did Kang Dayong turn his gaze to the unfamiliar face with satisfaction and said ferociously: "Who are you?"

It turned out that this person was Ji Jinxiao who was sent to contact Gu Sanmazi, and the two parties had reached a deal. As long as Gu Sanmazi killed brothers Kang Dayong and Kang Dayi, he would be given the private salt business in the future, and he could also cooperate in smuggling other goods. Goods for profit.

Gu Sanmazi was already wary of Kang Dayong's ambition and planned to destroy him. Since Ji Jinxiao proposed such generous conditions, he naturally agreed, but Kang Dayong took advantage of him first.

Moreover, after Kang Dayong interrogated the messenger sent by Ji Jinxiao, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had acted quickly, otherwise his two brothers would have died.

Angry and angry, Kang Dayong was about to kill the messenger sent by Ji Jinxiao with a knife, but Li Hongji came to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Kang Dayong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he laughed and said: "What a great idea, Li Ji. You are really my Kang Dayong's Zhuge Kongming. Yes, from now on you will be the second boss of Dulong Island."

At that moment, Kang Dayong had the messenger imprisoned first, and then launched a large-scale cleansing of the entire island, killing all the members of Gu San Mazi's family, including his own wife, and All the key leaders who were loyal to the Gu family were not spared.

Soon, Kang Dayong took control of the entire Dulong Island with extremely cruel and bloody methods, and took the top position of the leader, while Li Hongji also became the second leader of Dulong Island with his outstanding performance.

Besides, Qin Hongyu, the fifth master, had her mast broken by Jia Huan's ship's cannon that day, and she herself was stabbed in the calf by a flying wooden thorn, so she decisively retreated with a few boats, and when she returned to Dulong Island , but learned that Kang Dayong had killed his adoptive father Gu Sanmazi's family and occupied Dulong Island. He couldn't help but feel sad and angry, and immediately launched an attack on Dulong Island.

However, Qin Hongyu was alone. She was Kang Dayong's opponent and was almost surrounded and annihilated. Finally, under the cover of a group of loyal brothers, she managed to break out of the siege. Only one ship escaped and hurriedly headed northeast. And went.

As the saying goes, if you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again with the spring breeze. How could Kang Dayong let go of this huge hidden danger of Qin Hongyu? He immediately sent Li Hongji to lead the bow boats to pursue her all the way.
