Dark Fairy

Chapter 231 The inner gangster

For several days in a row, there were rumors everywhere in Yongchuan City, and there were always people whispering in the streets and alleys about the soldiers and horses in Yuzhong outside the North City.

After resisting the outside of the city from the vanguard, the Yamen Yamen leader Russell Chen went to Zhangluo City to mobilize his strength more than eighteen miles north of the city to help build a military stronghold.

Cut down trees, level ground, and make roads.The soldiers will take action on these matters first, and later when the Zuo Army headquarters arrives, the soldiers will also join in to help.Compared with Lifu, the soldiers are more comfortable with building military strongholds.This is the content of their daily training.

It took a day and a half for the army camp of 3000 people to erect an outline.The subsequent construction does not require much effort, and is all completed by the soldiers in the army.And from this moment on, the army village is a restricted area, and idlers cannot approach, otherwise the army village guard can shoot directly.

Of course, in the current Yongchuan City, no one dares to wander around the military stronghold, let alone break into it.

Afterwards, street wanderers sent back news that Liu Jianyu, the leader of the Zuo Army, had a banquet at the home of Luo Suchen, the yamen yamen lord, after arriving in Yongchuan that night.But from the beginning to the end, no relevant personnel from the City Lord's Mansion showed up.Even after the banquet, Liu Jianyu didn't go to the city lord's mansion, but went out of the city and went back to the military village to stay.

"It seems that it's no wonder the city lord is so nervous about the following situation." Bai Lang had a judgment in his heart.And he found that not only Feng Mingyuan and Liu Jianyu might not be able to deal with it, but also Luo Suchen, the owner of the yamen, who used to have a very low sense of presence in Yongchuan City, has now jumped out.In front of Liu Jianyu, he was very acquainted, and even held a banquet at home, and Liu Jianyu was still willing to attend the appointment.

"My lord, there was a saying before that there was a disagreement between the city lord and the yamen Luo Suchen, and it was a fundamental disagreement between factions. Even Luo Suchen's coming to Yongchuan was the result of the restraint of the upper echelons of the country."

Yang Xiu and Liu Xu were present in Bailang's mansion, and Zhou Dong, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, was also there.

"Oh? What else does Master Liu know? Tell me in detail."

Liu Xu is the oldest, and has experienced the most ups and downs in Yongchuan City.Now Liu Jianyu's arrival broke the power structure of Yongchuan City that had been silent for many years, and it also brought back his memory.

So Liu Xu recalled: "In the first few years when the city lord first arrived in Ren Yongchuan, Luo Suchen followed, so to speak. At that time, the relationship between the yamen and the city lord's mansion was very tense. I remember that the city lord guard broke into the yamen several times. The matter of Xing Shi's questioning happened. Luo Suchen's personal master was not the current Chen Qilu at first, but someone else, but that person was killed by the city lord for a pretext.

Not only killed one, but also killed five in a row.In the end, it was Chen Qilu's turn to take over.In fact, it is also a process for the city lord to suppress the yamen.After all, no matter how much background Luo Suchen had, the city lord dared not move him openly, but there was no problem at all moving the people around Luo Suchen.In the end, Luo Suchen died down and recognized Chen Qilu, who was installed by the city lord.Later, Yongchuan City formed a new power structure. "

When Liu Xu said this, Bailang suddenly understood why after he was imprisoned in the Yamen, the master came to protect him when both the Yamen Chief and the deputy judge were targeting him, because the Yamen was not monolithic in the first place.

"Behind the city lord is the Feng family, a great family in the country, so could it be that behind Russell Chen he is also a great family?" Bai Lang continued to ask.Next to them, Zhou Dong and Yang Xiu looked at Liu Xu curiously. This was the first time they had heard these words.

"Yes, behind Luo Suchen is the Luo family, one of the main participating forces in the "law-based" New Deal system. To put it bluntly, it is a contest between the old and the new. The pressure is only 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Today The situation in the city is reversed from before." These things are what Liu Xu has seen and heard from Tang Yan.I didn’t expect that it would still come in handy after the passage of time.

"So Liu Jianyu and Russell Chen both belong to new-school aristocratic families, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, it's a knife. The situation this time is different from Yuzhong reaching out to this side before." Liu Xu finally expressed his opinion.

"Different?" Bailang shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "The difference is only different to the city lord, but it is actually the same to us. Either die or live. It is not our turn to make a choice yet."

Liu Xu frowned deeply when he heard this, and he didn't speak any more, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that it was just the beginning, and Bailang would actually see the following things so dangerously?If this is the case, then it is indeed no different for the knife hall from the previous attack from Yuzhong.

After Bailang figured out the relationship between Liu Jianyu and the city lord's mansion he was in from Liu Xu, Bailang was not interested in asking more questions about the so-called dispute between the new school and the old school.He wasn't in the mood for the imminent matter.

"Brother Dong, what's the situation over there?"

"Returning to the knife. Since yesterday, people with faces earlier than the Yuzhong Military Mansion have sneaked into Yongchuan City. There are quite a few of them. They have stayed in taverns, restaurants, and flower houses in the city, and they are very knowledgeable in their words. , It looks like a veteran who is familiar with getting news. This morning, these people went to the industrial park outside Dongcheng one after another. They didn’t come out all day, and they all wandered around in it. Because they didn’t dare to startle the snake, the people in the knife shop just kept a close eye on it. Go up and make any contact.”

Zhou Dong is now in charge of all the street wanderers in the knife shop. Although his identity is not a red knife, not even a waist knife, but now Bailang treats him like a leader like Liu Xu.No one in the knife shop dared to underestimate him.

"This is exactly as the city lord expected. With the arrival of Liu Jianyu, the industrial park will definitely become a focus of contention. It seems that I was wrong when I thought that the other party would take it slowly. They are likely to do it as soon as possible. They should want to Hit us by surprise. Or to test our ability first.

By the way, Yang Hongdao, have you opened the batch of things that I asked you to bring back from the City Lord's Mansion today? "

When Bailang said this, he suddenly changed the subject, smiling and looking at Yang Xiu who had been listening but not speaking.

With Yang Xiu's idea of ​​talking less, listening more and watching more, he is already very satisfied to be able to enter Bailang's inner circle.Before arriving, Bailang suddenly asked him about a trivial matter during the day.

So Yang Xiu quickly replied: "If I go back to my seat, I have brought back a total of six carts of things. They are all wooden boxes nailed and sealed. My subordinates dare not open them privately without orders. Now all the things are stacked in the hemp rope alley." It was in the warehouse of the inner hall of the affairs hall, and it was taken over by Mr. Liu."

Then Liu Xu also nodded and said yes, he had heard this matter from the people below.Also curious why Bailang would suddenly ask this.Could it be that there is something mysterious about the things in those boxes?
Bai Lang showed a meaningful smile and asked, "Yang Hongdao, do you want to know what is inside? After all, those things will still be handed over to you for use later."
