Chapter 63

Li Dexian sighed softly on the side, his expression was pitiful and helpless.

He knew that Rong Shenghuang's move undoubtedly touched the absolute forbidden area in Lin Xiaofeng's heart.

The girl who seemed to be a maid was actually the most important person in the Lin family.

Her name is Lin Taohua, and her existence is like a bright star in Lin Mansion, indispensable and highly respected.

Xie Hongxin's voice was calm and powerful. He asked Lin Xiaofeng if he wanted to deal with Rong Shenghuang.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Rong Shenghuang's twisted and crazy face, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.

But he finally chose to let him live for the time being.

He knew that Rong Shenghuang was just a pawn of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the real opponent was still waiting for him in the dark.

After Rong Shenghuang heard Lin Xiaofeng's answer, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He tried to provoke Lin Xiaofeng again, but his voice was drowned by the harshness of reality.

His eyes began to blur, as if he was falling into an endless abyss of darkness.

He began to mumble incoherently, trying to summon the backer behind him to save him, but the voice had become weak and blurry, and it was impossible to distinguish its true meaning.

Then, Lin Xiaofeng's movements were like an elegant musician immersed in the performance, leisurely and contented yet powerful. He slowly reached out his hand and penetrated deep into Xie Hongxin's tightly closed clothes.

The swing of the wrist is like tuning the strings of a piano, as smooth as flowing water, but also contains endless power.

He pulled out a flying knife from Xie Hongxin's arms. The blade shone with a cold light, just like the brightest star in the dark night, illuminating the dark corner.

He waved his wrist lightly, and the blade flashed quickly, cutting off Rong Shenghuang's right ear as easily as cutting tender tofu.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze into ice. Only the flying blood and the ears falling to the ground broke the silence and depression of this moment.

"Ah——!" Rong Shenghuang's scream tore through the air, like the last cry of a wounded beast, his eyes filled with horror and severe pain.

Although the body was tightly bound and unable to struggle to escape, it could only twist painfully in the shackles, appearing helpless and desperate.

Lin Xiaofeng did not give Rong Shenghuang any chance to breathe. The cold sharp blade in his hand quickly came close to Rong Shenghuang's eye socket.

The moment the tip of the knife touched his skin, Rong Shenghuang's heart seemed to be soaked in ice water, and waves of chill penetrated his bones.

He looked at Lin Xiaofeng tremblingly, his eyes filled with boundless fear.

Lin Xiaofeng's expression was like unpolished jade, cold and unruffled. His tone was calm but shocking: "Pick up your ears."

Rong Shenghuang's heart was filled with unspeakable shame. He felt the stinging pain coming from his eyes. It was unprecedented torture.

He lowered his head and carefully picked up his bloody ear with trembling fingers.

"Eat it."

Lin Xiaofeng's words were loud and clear, like ice hitting iron and stone in the cold wind, making Rong Shenghuang's soul tremble.

Rong Shenghuang did not resist, he could only hold back his nausea and chewed his own meat with difficulty. The creepy sound echoed throughout the space, making everyone present shudder.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng is exactly what people in the world call a murderer. His methods are so cruel that no one can resist him.

The surrounding civil servants were even more pale. They were usually in the temple, and they had never witnessed such a cruel scene. At this moment, their legs were weak, and their hearts were filled with emotions of fear and awe.

Lin Xiaofeng turned around and faced the shocked gang members. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The smile was like the sunshine in early spring, bright and warm. He said loudly: "Brothers, take a good look. This is your gang leader. Do you think there will be a way out by following such a person?"

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a spring breeze blowing on the face, causing a strong shock to the hearts of everyone present.

Their eyes drifted, switching back and forth between Rong Shenghuang and Lin Xiaofeng, and their hearts began to waver as to whether they should continue to follow this former gang leader.

Lin Xiaofeng pressed forward step by step, his sharp eyes locked on a gang member who was secretly picking up money. He said with a hint of ridicule: "Tell me, how much money can I get from following your gang leader in a month? Well, that's you, all the time. The one who was dawdling there for a long time."

The gang member smiled awkwardly and whispered in a low voice: "About... less than three dollars a month."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly after hearing this, obviously surprised by the result.

Despite this, he still shook his head pretending to be regretful: "Only three yuan? What can this little money do? How many children do you have to raise at home? Have you married a wife and taken concubines? How many times a month can you go to a brothel to have fun?"

This question was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing ripples. Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they all speculated on how much money Rong Shenghuang could earn in a year.

Lin Xiaofeng observed their reactions and nodded with satisfaction.

He declared loudly: "To tell you the truth, he can make two hundred thousand taels of silver a year! This is just a guaranteed amount!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Two hundred thousand taels of silver was an astronomical figure. They couldn't believe that Rong Shenghuang could accumulate such a huge wealth.

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he was secretly happy.

He knew that he had successfully stirred up the dissatisfaction and greed in their hearts.

He went on to make an impassioned speech: "He enjoys so much treasure by himself, but he is only willing to share a small amount with you. Think about it, he hugs you every day and enjoys endless beauty; and you, back When you get home you can only sigh in front of the yellow-faced woman, are you really willing to do that?!"

This sentence was like a blazing fire, igniting the greed and dissatisfaction in their hearts.

They began to imagine that they could also have a life surrounded by beauties in a brothel, but whenever they thought of their wives who worked hard at home, their faces suddenly darkened.

Lin Xiaofeng watched the changes in their expressions and sneered inwardly.

He knew that he had successfully incited their resistance and that his plan was moving towards the desired goal step by step.

At this moment, he no longer needs to say anything, because everyone has been deeply touched by his words, and their inner worlds are quietly changing.

A moist red flashed across Rong Shenghuang's eyes, and his eyes were slightly flushed. His voice also had an uncontrollable tremor: "I am really not corrupt. Brothers, you must not believe his nonsense." !”

His voice echoed in the air, like a wounded lone wolf letting out its last cry surrounded by wolves.

His eyes showed deep helplessness and unwillingness, like a rock hit by huge waves, bearing the huge impact of misunderstanding, and almost being swallowed up by the heavy grievance and helplessness.

However, he understood that he could not wash away his grievances in front of these hard-hearted brothers, because they only wanted to believe the facts they wanted to believe.

Bai Yongyuan and the others stared at Rong Shenghuang coldly, with a flash of contempt in their eyes, as if the awe they had for Rong Shenghuang collapsed instantly.

They originally thought that this young man had incredible abilities, but now it seems that he is just a fraudster who tells lies and almost led them astray. They can't help but find it extremely funny.

Lin Xiaofeng stood quietly aside, his eyes as deep and sharp as an abyss, seeming to be able to penetrate everyone's inner secrets.

He scanned every pair of eyes around him, using his unique language style to stir up their nerves and inspire their indignation and greed.

"Brothers, the harder you work, the more opportunities he has to acquire money and take concubines. But what about your hard-earned money? How many years does it take for it to increase by just a tiny bit!"

Lin Xiaofeng's words were resounding, like a sharp dagger, piercing into the hearts of everyone present.

His words invaded everyone's hearts like a violent storm, making them gradually angry, dissatisfied, and then suspicious.

They begin to realize the huge difference between the hard work they put in day after day, year after year, and the rewards they receive.

"You are all poor people struggling to survive by the cesspit!" Lin Xiaofeng continued, his voice full of passion and incitement, "Let me tell you, that guy, Gang Leader Rong, eats mutton dumplings dipped in sugar when he wakes up in the morning!"

These words were like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, instantly illuminating the depths of the souls of everyone present.

They fantasize about the luxurious life that is beyond their reach, and endless jealousy and yearning grow in their hearts.

"People even use gold excrement spoons to dig out excrement! What about you, who can guarantee that you can see meat and fish in every meal?" Lin Xiaofeng's words became more and more intense, like a raging fire cooking oil, which made the people at the scene fall into a trap. A maelstrom of rage and jealousy.

Many people in the crowd had resentment in their eyes. They began to accept Lin Xiaofeng's point of view and began to question Rong Shenghuang's moral character and credibility.

They imagined that they too could have such a luxurious life, working with golden dung spoons and enjoying fine wine and fine food at every meal.

Lin Xiaofeng observed all this silently, secretly happy in his heart.

He knew that he had successfully ignited the anger and desire of this group of people, and had taken control of their hearts. They would become pawns in his hands.

"Brothers, wait a minute, I have something else to say!" Lin Xiaofeng's voice echoed throughout the audience again, his eyes shining with cunning and confidence.

"Brothers, Rong Shenghuang called you here today. How much money did you give each of you?" Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a key that opened the door to desire, guiding everyone to recall the meager reward they had received.

They began to count the little income in their hands, and dissatisfaction and anger rose in their hearts.

They began to reflect on their self-worth and longed for more wealth and rights.

Finally, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were fixed on the little clever ghost who had secretly hidden the silver.

Facing Lin Xiaofeng's intimidating gaze, the little clever guy seemed embarrassed and muttered the number: "Three taels."

"Three liang!" Lin Xiaofeng's voice suddenly rose, and his eyes shot out with flames of anger and contempt.

"For a mere three taels of silver, you are actually willing to sacrifice your lives for him?" Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a long sword piercing the heart, making everyone present feel the same.

They began to reflect on their choices and values, and were filled with shame and regret.

They begin to realize their own weakness and powerlessness, and desire to achieve transformation and improvement in life.

"Do you know that I am a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, and you are willing to take such a risk for trying to kill me, which is a serious crime of beheading, for such a small amount of money?" Lin Xiaofeng's words were like thunder, shocking everyone present. Deep in the soul.

They began to worry about their own safety and were full of fear and anxiety about the future.

They began to realize their own insignificance and powerlessness, and urgently sought protection and blessing.

"With this little money in total, are you willing to risk your lives?" Lin Xiaofeng's words turned into a sharp knife again, accurately cutting through everyone's psychological defenses.

They begin to feel hopeless and helpless, and have doubts about their own value and existence. They are eager to find opportunities and possibilities to change their destiny.

"Instead of doing this, why not follow me, Lin Xiaofeng? Although I don't dare to boast, I guarantee that your living standard in the future will be much higher than it is now!" Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a beam of light before dawn, illuminating everyone present. spiritual path.

They saw hope and possibility in the future and began to believe that they could change their destiny.

They gathered around Lin Xiaofeng, preparing to welcome a new future with him.

"Have you seen these coins scattered on the ground? Today I will give them to you generously as a meeting gift. No need to be polite, just pick them up!"

Deep in Rong Shenghuang's eye sockets, a deep despair was spreading quietly, like an invisible black hole, mercilessly eating away at his original unwavering gaze.

He looked steadily at the faces around him that had been loyal to him, the gang members who had vowed to fight together until life and death.

At this time, their faces showed signs of wavering, like ripples rippling in his heart, causing the words in his throat to choke, heavy, as if they were firmly stuck by a sharp fish bone. I can't tell anything easily.

He knew as clearly as a mirror in his heart that Lin Xiaofeng's methods were ruthless. Once he touched the devil's reverse scale, he was afraid that the price he would pay next time would no longer be as simple as just losing an ear, but that he might completely lose his ear. The language tool we rely on for survival is the tongue.

Lin Xiaofeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his smile was like the twinkling stars on a winter night, cold and profound.

He spoke slowly, each word ringing loudly, like the collision of gold and stone: "Brothers, what are you hesitating about now? Do you really want to stick to this meager income, endure endless fatigue, and finally end up dejected at the door of the brothel? Are you so hurt, watching the woman you like fall into the arms of others, with your pockets so empty that you can’t even take out a copper to cope with the situation? Is this kind of day what you want? "

He paused for a moment, his eyes were like a torch, and he scanned everyone present sharply, and then he told the truth without hesitation: "I tell you, Rong Shenghuang's fate is destined to decline. Following the path he takes, there is no doubt that You are heading towards self-destruction. On the contrary, if you choose to follow me, Lin Xiaofeng, your life will be very different - a fixed income of five yuan of silver every month, and a new set of clothing guarantee every quarter, not to mention that we still have to pay for it every year. There is the mysterious and alluring three-day brothel tour team-building activity that allows you to see a different life."

When Lin Xiaofeng said this, his body turned lightly, but the voice behind him was still clear and powerful, with a bit of ridicule and contempt: "Humph, it's just three coins a month, even a dog wouldn't bother to work for it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an agile figure in the crowd quickly fell to the ground, his hands flying like butterflies through flowers, as if every silver coin could hold a piece of hope for life.

The other gang members had already lost their minds in front of the shining silver. The men from the Dung Gang who had glared at Lin Xiaofeng instantly changed their attitude and fell on the ground one after another, scrambling to pick up the gold and silver treasures scattered on the ground.

Bai Yongyuan and others were stunned and looked at each other, all amazed at Lin Xiaofeng's cunning and financial resources. Rong Shenghuang stood stiffly on the spot, watching all these dramatic changes take place. The once bright eyes gradually dimmed, like a meteor streaking across the sky, and finally disappeared into the endless darkness.

The power he had built up with all his hard work was wiped out in an instant by Lin Xiaofeng's appearance. This made him deeply realize that the person in front of him was more terrifying than he was seven years ago. Perhaps challenging Lin Xiaofeng from the beginning was a wrong intersection of fate. Point, are you destined to restrain each other from this person?

Lin Xiaofeng walked up to the pale-faced Rong Shenghuang with steady steps, and spoke in a calm but majestic tone: "Now, do you know you were wrong?"

Rong Shenghuang lowered his head, his face twisted into a ball of pain, his teeth bit into his lip deeply, and after some struggle, he finally squeezed out a few words from the depths of his throat: "I... know wrong."

Lin Xiaofeng approached step by step, with a playful smile on his lips: "Then call me 'Master', and maybe you can spare your life."

Rong Shenghuang looked up at Lin Xiaofeng in shock, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including surprise, humiliation, unwillingness, and a trace of luck and joy mixed in between.

Faced with Lin Xiaofeng's cruelty and indifference, he was already prepared to die, but he didn't expect that the other party would throw him a life-saving straw.

"Master——" Rong Shenghuang called out hoarsely, his voice trembling and weak.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and patted Rong Shenghuang's plump cheek: "Okay, you are somewhat self-aware! In this case, I will let you live for now."

The laughter gradually subsided, but no one present noticed that although Rong Shenghuang had temporarily escaped the threat of death, the life that followed might be more cruel and painful than death.

In an instant, the thousands of coins scattered on the ground seemed to pour into the sea like stars. They were picked up one by one by a group of dung gang members who usually held swords and wore bloody clothes, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At this moment, they all put away their weapons and stood neatly in two rows. Their eyes were all focused on Lin Xiaofeng. Their eyes were intertwined with awe and expectation, just like the stars heading towards the North Dipper and thousands of streams heading towards the East China Sea.

Lin Xiaofeng slowly scanned the surroundings to confirm that everything was under his control. He saw a heroic look on his brows and said loudly: "Please ask some brothers to remove those filthy buckets as soon as possible. They have really tainted our country." A place where heroes with great ambitions stand!"

Before the words completely dissipated, two members of the gang responded quickly. With firm faces and steady steps, they walked towards the dung bucket and cleaned up the filth in the blink of an eye. This scene made the onlookers secretly envious and jealous, clenched their teeth, and wished they could do it. He can be so brave and courageous.

A figure suddenly appeared in the crowd. He stepped out of the line hesitantly and nervously asked Lin Xiaofeng: "Lin... Mr. Lin, what happened today..." ··”

Lin Xiaofeng, on the other hand, was majestic yet gentle. He raised his hand and waved vigorously in the air, and his words fell to the ground like stone: "This matter has nothing to do with anyone. The blame lies solely with Rong Shenghuang! You don't need to worry about your own safety."

Then, Lin Xiaofeng's voice became more passionate and high-pitched: "From now on, the brothers who follow me, Lin Xiaofeng, no longer need to stick to the terms of superiority and inferiority. We are all sons and daughters on the road of rivers and lakes. We treat each other as brothers. I am yours." Second boss!"

After the words fell, he pulled Li Dexian fiercely and pointed at him. His powerful voice shocked everyone: "He, Li Dexian, will become your chief executive! Why don't you hurry up and pay homage to the new chief executive!"

When the gang members heard this, they shouted in unison: "I've seen the first master! I've seen the second master!"

Li Dexian's face turned red instantly, and his heart was like a turbulent river. The dream of being in the world that was once out of reach has really come to him at this moment. Although the name "Shit Gang" does not sound pleasant to the ear, he knows very well that the name Although rough, the spirit can last forever.

Li Dexian couldn't suppress his inner excitement and said with a trembling voice: "Old Lin, I really admire what you did today. You are indeed extraordinary!"

The corners of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth raised slightly, and his humility revealed great confidence, and he responded in a low voice: "Brother Dexian, this is just a starting point. There is still a long road ahead, and we still have a lot to do. The current Shit Gang is just one party. Heaven and earth, we need to recruit more brothers and create a unique gang culture."

"What is gang culture?" Li Dexian asked in confusion.

Lin Xiaofeng turned to face the entire gang and burst out with a burst of righteousness: "Well done, brothers! Now, let me recite "Long Live Our Emperor" so that we can feel the profound artistic conception together!"

As Li Dexian listened, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead and smiling bitterly in his heart - Lin Xiaofeng's admiration for the honor of the royal family made him a little at a loss. Every time he recalled the scene of facing his father in the palace, it made him extremely embarrassed.

However, Bai Yongyuan could no longer bear this dramatic scene and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Master Lin, Master Lin! This scene has to come to an end. The prince must return to the palace immediately!" A hint of slyness flashed in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes: "If To send the prince back to the palace, uncle, you have to promise me something."

Although Bai Yongyuan felt extremely uncomfortable, he still replied hastily: "Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will give my full assistance!" Lin Xiaofeng lowered his voice and made his request: "Tonight's matter must be kept a secret, Rong Sheng Huang leaves it to me to handle, and when the matter is resolved satisfactorily, I will personally report the details to His Majesty, what do you think?"

Bai Yongyuan was extremely anxious and stamped his feet in agreement: "Okay! I promise you! Also, don't call me uncle again!" After all, staying in this place full of unknown dangers for too long will pose a great threat to the prince's safety.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly and expressed understanding: "I understand, uncle." Then he solemnly emphasized: "Remember, you must truthfully report everything tonight to His Majesty. If you intend to delay, I will report to Your Majesty personally. ,do you understand?"

Before Li Dexian could react, Xie Hongxin grabbed him decisively, turned around and left. The three pavilion elders followed closely, escorting Li Dexian to quickly leave this warehouse full of unknown crises.

After the old, weak, sick and disabled left the scene one by one, the overwhelming rock in Lin Xiaofeng's heart seemed to be slightly moved by an invisible hand. The long-lost feeling of smoothness in his chest was like the turbid air that had been stuck for a long time suddenly found an outlet. It begins to circulate slowly in the body.

He immediately turned to the rock-solid and determined gang, with endless determination and sadness in his eyes.

"Brothers! Within the strong walls of Beijing City, there are still countless of our comrades behind bars. They are looking forward to it in the darkness, hoping that the dawn of freedom will illuminate their shoulders and dispel the haze of hardship. !"

Starting from tomorrow, you can guide more brothers to go to North Langfang and join our ranks.

For every two people you recommend to join, you can receive one or two dazzling white silver coins from Jia Fugui as a reward. The procedure is simple and easy.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a bell at dawn, reverberating in the quiet air. He then announced in a shocking and high-pitched tone: "Today, here, I make a decision that involves life and death, honor and disgrace." Decision - the former Shit Gang will be reborn from the ashes and be renamed the Environmental Protection Team! At this moment, let us jointly unveil this joining ceremony that symbolizes regeneration and hope, and let history remember the majesty and glory of this moment!"

Among the crowd, a young man with bright eyes and full of curiosity jumped out. His question was filled with immature curiosity: "Second Master, what kind of ceremony is this joining the team?"

A cold and slightly sarcastic smile flashed across the corner of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth, his eyes lingered on his gloomy-looking opponent Rong Shenghuang, and every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth: "The so-called joining ceremony, in fact, It's extremely simple, just spit in this person's face, and you have completed this solemn lesson. Since you are so curious, Xiaoqi, let me set an example first."

Faced with such a provocation, Rong Shenghuang's expression suddenly changed, and he burst out with thunderous anger: "Lin Xiaofeng, you are really worse than a beast! If you really have the courage, why not take off my head now to show that Your lofty ideals!"

However, Lin Xiaofeng did not get angry because of this. He just glanced at Rong Shenghuang coldly and said in a calm and cold voice: "Oh? You can't wait to die? Forget it, when the recruitment of new recruits for our environmental protection team is completed, you will naturally be there. It deserves its destination. Xiao Qi, don’t hesitate, act immediately, don’t waste your good time.”

When Xiao Qi heard this, despite her inner struggle, she finally mustered up the courage to walk towards Rong Shenghuang.

His face was full of guilt, and his words revealed unspeakable pain: "Boss Rong, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Xiao Qi's actions, Rong Shenghuang's face instantly turned pale as paper, his pupils shrank, and he shouted hoarsely, almost pleadingly: "Xiao Qi! You are so confused, how can you listen to him? We once toasted together. Drink together, share joys and sorrows, how can you bear to do such a thing to me..."

"he~~tui!"

"he~~tui!"

"he~~tui!"

·······

In that underlying world filled with thick dust, like a rough and uncarved picture scroll, there exists a primitive society called the "Shit-like Gang". It is not only a melting pot of roughness and barbarism, but also the core of the power structure of the underlying society. miniature.

In this gang, Rong Shenghuang, as the iron-blooded gang leader, is like a stone monument standing in the abyss of night. He naturally grasps the iron power that penetrates the bone marrow. This power comes from the darkest and deepest corners of the underlying society. , even the hardest stone can't help but bow before him.

Although Lin Xiaofeng sneered at the rough ruling methods used by Rong Shenghuang, and even had a bit of contempt, deep down in his heart, he could not deny the efficiency and ruthlessness of this gang's operation. It was like a sophisticated machine, and every process was meticulous. Precise to the point of cruelty.

Whenever he thinks of this situation, Lin Xiaofeng always feels a chill in his heart. Although it makes him feel extremely uncomfortable, the logic behind it is irrefutable.

The gang members follow ancient and strict rules and are undergoing a decisive and ruthless joining ceremony.

The spittle sprayed from their mouths was like sharp daggers, repeatedly cutting through all the ties behind them. Whether it was their former dignity, authority, or even personal emotional ties, they were all cut off one by one.

When the killing ceremony slowly came to an end, Lin Xiaofeng calmly glanced at Xie Hongxin. The latter understood and, as fast as a leopard, pulled Rong Shenghuang, who had fallen into a state of madness, out of the crowd, just like tearing off a piece of contamination. As easy as filthy rags.

At this moment, Rong Shenghuang, except for the curses coming from his throat, no longer has the majesty of the past.

His voice was hoarse and desolate, like the last cry of a besieged beast, echoing in the empty world, both sad and lonely.

This series of changes caused Rong Shenghuang to not only lose actual control, but also the followers who had bowed to him and the face he was proud of.

Everything that was once regarded as a treasure seemed to turn into powder in an instant, leaving only the painful screams and boundless hatred originating from the abyss of the soul, like a pool of stagnant water, cold and bottomless.

Lin Xiaofeng specially arranged a small and dark cell to wait for those old soldiers who had not yet made a decision to surrender.

Under the instigation of the environmental protection team, the remnants of the Shit Gang began to become restless. They acted like ants smelling fishy smell. These little people living at the bottom of the city are struggling to survive all day long. When faced with the choice, they can't help but think, since the same It's selling your strength, why not join a new organization that can provide more protection?

The conditions offered by the new owner were like rain after a long drought, high salary, new clothes, and even three days of vacation a year - for this group of people at the bottom, these benefits were like a myth above the clouds.

As a result, in just a few days, there was a huge crowd in front of Rong Shenghuang's former glorious mansion, and the threshold was almost trampled to pieces.

At first, no one dared to challenge the former bully of the excrement channel head-on, let alone spit in his face.

It wasn't until Xie Hongxin stepped forward and demonstrated how to deal with it with his own hands that everyone's emotions suddenly burst out like a flood.

In the first few days, Rong Shenghuang was still able to use his remaining tenacious will to issue chilling curses.

However, as time passed, his voice turned from high to low, until it was completely submerged in the long silence.

The food Lin Xiaofeng prepared for him did not touch his taste nerves. He refused to eat for many days in a row. His originally strong body became thinner and his face became haggard.

However, the irony is that in this world of spittle, he has never really faced the pain of water shortage, because the spittle flying everywhere has become an alternative "gift" in his life.

On the fifth day and night cycle, this period of purgatory-like humiliation and torture finally came to an end.

Rong Shenghuang was like a sugar cane that had been squeezed dry, leaving only an empty body, lifeless.

Although the number of new members was only over 4,000, this was far beyond Lin Xiaofeng's original expectations.

He once imagined that in order to fill the huge number of excrement workers in the capital, at least more than 15,000 people would need to be recruited.

Facts have proved that Rong Shenghuang's influence is limited to the jurisdiction of the Beicheng Military and Horse Division, and his roots have not penetrated deep into the underlying soil of the entire capital.

Despite this, Lin Xiaofeng is still pleased with his achievements.

The remnants of the Dung Gang who later surrendered scatteredly no longer need to go through the long and complicated joining ceremony.

Among the last batch of latecomers, many people have a deep regret buried deep in their hearts, that is, they were unable to spit in the face of the big boss who once dominated the world. An action that was not realized became a wound in their hearts that would never heal, and it was also a regret and sorrow that they could not let go of throughout their lives.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

It was a clear morning when the sun penetrated the clouds, as if it had specially covered the earth with a layer of golden gauze.

Lin Xiaofeng, Xie Hongxin and Rong Shenghuang, these three men gathered together in the quiet and elegant courtyard of Lin Mansion.

On the stone table in the courtyard, there is a pot of steaming tea. The rising white mist seems to be telling the flow of time and the precipitation of time.

Rong Shenghuang sat at the stone table. He sat there upright, like an old monk who was well versed in the world. His face was as calm as an ancient well, making it impossible to see the turmoil in his heart.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see everything, but they seemed to be filled with endless loneliness.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Rong Shenghuang's rejuvenated face and couldn't help but feel secretly amused.

Five days of nourishing human essence, coupled with long-term deep hydrating care, made Rong Shenghuang's skin as delicate as porcelain, white and moist, but where was the sharpness of the past? At this moment, he seemed like an elegant and heroic scholar.

Lin Xiaofeng poured a full cup of tea for Rong Shenghuang, with a playful smile on her lips, and asked tentatively: "Brother Rong, do you have any resentment against me in your heart?"

Rong Shenghuang raised his eyelids slightly and responded calmly: "There is no resentment. Everything in the past has disappeared like smoke. Now I just want to go home."

His voice was calm and firm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

However, before Rong Shenghuang stood up and left, Lin Xiaofeng asked a key question: "Brother Rong, who is behind you?"

His tone was deep and calm, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter.

In fact, Lin Xiaofeng didn't have a particularly strong curiosity about this.

He guessed that Rong Shenghuang probably had the opportunity to vent his personal anger with the help of some backstage force.

Rong Shenghuang's hand, like holding a fragile heart, carefully picked up the tea cup. The fragrance of tea rose up, like the threads of time, intertwining in the air. The strands penetrated into his breath, but outlined a picture of entanglement and hesitation between his frowning brows. Those deep eyes seemed to be carrying thousands of thoughts, rising and falling with the whirlpool of tea.

After a long time, as if experiencing a silent inner struggle, Rong Shenghuang slowly opened his mouth and revealed three words that were astonishing: "King of Hanjiang."

These three words echoed in Lin Xiaofeng's ears, like the sound of ancient temple bells, distant and shocking. This was the second time he heard this name. The first time was in the bustling Baihua Tower with bright fireworks. The name was like a hidden undercurrent, quietly flowing into the river of his memory.

"King of Hanjiang?" Lin Xiaofeng chewed the name silently in his heart, like savoring a glass of strong wine that he had never tasted before, the taste was complex and difficult to distinguish. In his perception, the King of Hanjiang is just an ordinary character. Although he has some connection with the liquor business in Yangqu County, his performance is mediocre and has no highlights.

However, when his eyes moved from the tea cup in front of him to the Baihua Building in the distance, and then thought of the dung gang forces entrenched at the bottom of the city, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart: Is this seemingly ordinary King of Hanjiang really the real one? Is there a true face that no one in the world has ever seen?

He stared at Rong Shenghuang's retreating back. That indifferent yet heavy outline was like an invisible key, quietly opening the door to the undulating thoughts in his heart. He understood that behind the task before him, there was actually a complicated drama involving power struggles and entangled interests.
