As soon as the next day, a creepy scream suddenly broke out in the back house of the Min Gang Headquarters. Everyone rushed into the gang master's bedroom, but saw the prostitute sitting naked on the head of the bed, her face deformed in fear. She pointed to the bed and screamed continuously. Only then did everyone realize that their gang leader's eyes were as big as a copper bell, turned upward, and his body was black and purple. He had a dagger nailed to his chest. The blood had frozen. Yang Shanqing had been dead for a long time.

"What's going on? Say!"

Yang Shanqing's cousin's eyes were about to burst into bleeding. He grabbed the woman's hair and threw her off the ground. He stepped on her face. The knife was pulled out, pointed at her neck and roared: "Say! Who did it? I won't tell you, I'll peel you!"

The woman was like a white fish with her head nailed, her body twitching on the ground, and she was extremely frightened.

"Let her go!" A low and majestic voice came, and the gang members at the door made way one after another, and the deputy gang leader came.

"What do you say when you step on her face!"

When Yang Shanqing's cousin saw that the deputy gang leader came in, he slowly stopped his feet. The gang leader died, and the deputy gang leader was the boss. He glanced at the deputy gang leader coldly. This person was rude but very scheming. The gang leader suddenly died, and it was very likely that he had taken action.

The deputy gang leader was extremely tall, like a black bear, with a black face and beard, and his arms were thicker than the calves of an ordinary strong man. He was very skilled in martial arts and was the number one master of the Min Gang. If Li Qing saw him at this time, he would be shocked. This person was either someone else or had a dispute over buying snow mud in Langzhong and later received favor from Li Qing (see Volume 1 Chapter 32). After he came to Chengdu, he joined the Min Gang. With his strong martial arts, he gradually stood out and soon took the position of the deputy gang leader.

"Put on your clothes first!"

The woman got up with trembling all over and touched her clothes. Fang stammered and cried, "Uncle, I don't know. As soon as I woke up, he was like this." Halfway through her speech, she suddenly saw a knife slashing at her neck, and her legs became weak, and she fainted.

With a "brush" sound, a soft whip swayed around the woman's knife. With a trembling sound, the knife flew up and nailed straight to the roof beam. The handle of the knife was still trembling.

"Deputy Gang Master, what are you doing?" Yang Shanqing's cousin turned around and stared at Wang Bingge angrily, "How can the gang leader die because of this woman?"

Wang Bingge sneered and kicked the woman to the door, "Closing her first!"

He turned around and sneered at him: "She is just a bitch. The leader of the gang has a hero for his lifetime. How could he die because of her? But the leader of the gang dies at night, and she is the only one present. If he is killed in a hurry, who will ask for details?"

Wang Bing is a meticulous person. He has long estimated the consequences of this incident. There are only two biggest suspects, one is the old enemy Emeitang. Recently, the Min Gang and Emeitang intervened in the business war between the Hai family and the Shi family. Emeitang suffered a loss. The other suspect is himself. If the gang leader dies, he is the biggest beneficiary.

Yang Shanqing's cousin was named Yang Er. Relying on his elder brother's power, he was domineering in the gang and regarded himself as the next leader. Now that the elder brother died, he had a strange intention. However, he knew that he was not convinced in the gang, and only by turning down the Wang Bings first could he have a chance.

"Deputy Gang Master, there are many strange things in this matter. You have to give your brothers an explanation, otherwise, your brothers will not be convinced!"

"Yang Er, what do you mean? Are you saying that I killed the gang leader?"

Wang Bing each stepped forward and grabbed his collar and said viciously: "If you have any basis, you dare to draw a conclusion and say! If you don't explain it clearly to me today, don't blame me for not talking about brotherly love."

Seeing that Wang Bingge was fierce, Yang Ersu knew that he would never give in at this time. He made up his mind and grabbed Wang Bingge's arm with his backhand, and yelled: "Isn't this obvious? This has never happened in my Min Gang for decades. You came last year and the gang leader died, and you became the boss. This was not what you did, who else could it be? Humph! I'm afraid it won't be as you wish, and the brothers' eyes are lit!"

Wang Bingli's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile became stronger and stronger. This was a sign of his murder. He slowly turned around, dragged Yang Er to the door, and sneered at the Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall, "Lord Yan, what is the second rule of my Min Bang Gang? Please tell me about it to this old brother."

The head of the law enforcement hall felt awe-inspiring in his heart. Knowing that Wang Bing was going to kill someone and establish his authority, he immediately bowed and said, "The second rule of the gang is to commit suicide. Those who are following the superiors will die!"

Wang Bingge suddenly threw Yang Er to the ground, and used the same method he had just stepped on the woman, and stepped on his mouth to prevent him from barking in a hurry. "Then Master Yan said, what should he do?"

Master Yan stared at Wang Bingge deeply. Seeing that his murderous intent had appeared in both his eyes, he no longer hesitated and turned around and shouted: "Yang Er is in charge of the crime, slander the deputy gang leader, and kill according to the gang rules, come! Drag him down and chop him down."

He had already snatched several strong men and punched Yang Er's mouth with one punch, and then dragged him down like a dog to death. Yang Er was extremely angry, but he could only scream and couldn't say a word.

Wang Bing glanced at Yang Er's subordinates with cold eyes. When they passed by, they all shrank their heads and said no one dared to say no. He nodded, walked slowly to the bed, and looked up along the dagger. Suddenly, he found a bright line, a tile that was uncovered, and was exposed.

"Look at it, the dagger must have shot in from there."

Everyone looked in the direction of Wang Bingge's fingers. They had good eyesight and saw a faint light, but most of them didn't see anything, but they shouted: "Yes! Someone must have sneaked in at night and assassinated the gang leader." They all agreed that the gang leader must have been killed by outsiders, and took the initiative to clear the relationship for Wang Bingge.

Wang Bing each pulled out the dagger and observed carefully. He also found the word "sword test" on the dagger, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Hai family's weapons were obviously framed for Emeitang, but what does this matter? He also needed to find an excuse to establish his position in the gang.

"Brothers! Look at this knife, the dagger of the Hai Family Sword Test Hall. This means that our gang leader was assassinated by the dog thief of the Emei Hall." Wang Bingge suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Put down the Emei Hall and avenge the gang leader!"

"Avenge the gang leader!" The roar resounded throughout the sky.

******************

Li Qing went to Nanxi County early in the morning. Yesterday, Wang Baoji sent an invitation. Today, the Nanxi County branch opened and asked him to support him. The capital flow is extremely important to Li Qing's business, just like a bank today. Although the silver in the Tang Dynasty was already in use, the amount was small, and the copper coins were heavy, which was always six pounds and four ounces. If you take tens of thousands of ounces to do business, the ship would be sunk. Therefore, the emergence of cabinet shops is extremely important for the development of business. Generally, large cabinet shops have semicolons in major cities. For example, save money in Wang Baoji in Chengdu, point out that Chang'an can get money, and take the counter ticket and tokens to get on the road easily. After arriving in Chang'an, Wang Baoji from Chang'an will take out the money. Similarly, Nanxi County has a Wang Baoji semicolon, and Li Qing's money in Chengdu can be transferred to Nanxi County.

Nanxi County is about fifty miles south of Yibin County. The mountains are many and steep slopes are connected by only a narrow official road. Most people take the waterway. However, during the war in Nanzhao this month, the Nanxi County wharf has been requisitioned by the military, and the official road has become the only passage.

This is the tenth day of April of the third year of Tianbao. In the early morning, the early spring sunshine has put the warmth on the lush forests in the distance. The official road has already become busy. Everyone wants to rush the road before dawn, but when they get on the road, they realize that their thoughts are not wise. Carriages come one by one, from south to north, crowded, and stretch for more than ten miles. The coachman stood high on the roof of the carriage, anxiously looking forward with a curtain. People walking with a cane walked through the workshop, but instead walked faster than the carriage. Li Qing's carriage was also mixed in. Although he was an official, even if there were modern traffic police, this situation could not help him open the way.

"Young Master, if we continue like this, we may not be able to arrive in Nanxi County at noon."

The curtain frowned slightly. Although the April sun was warm, it was sunny for a long time. In the torture of waiting, the air became extremely hot, and the tip of her nose was already slightly sweating.

Li Qing put down the book, took out the handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads from her face and smiled: "Don't be so anxious. Going to Wang Baoji is just a response. They have just opened, and the money may not be transported. Please let go, and your heart will be calm and cool."

"I guess I can't come back tonight. You have to accompany me to buy things tonight." Lian'er blinked prettyly and went to the back carriage to look for powder box to put on makeup. Li Qing shook his head secretly. The change of women was really in an instant, and Lian'er actually put on makeup.

He was in a relaxed mood. He rushed back from Chengdu last night. The big things had been saved. What he had to wait for now was the fire between the two major gangs. According to his speculation, the Min E gangs were in power and fire. Only a small spark could light a raging fire. Moreover, the Min Gang could not find the real murderer, so how could he let Emeitang go easily? This battle is fierce, Emeitang will definitely transfer gang members from all over the country back to Chengdu to face the battle. The gang members in Yibin County were no exception. When Tang Sheng's minions were transferred away, his next plan could be implemented.

At this moment, a noise came from behind the car, which was a dispute between the porter and the guests. It was difficult to walk on the official road, and many walkers were unable to carry large and small bags. The porters found business opportunities and carried loads for others. They went back and forth several times a day, at least a few hundred cigars a day, and at most, but there was one problem, that is, the porter was quick and the guests had to keep up. Some customers couldn't keep up, so they had to give up on the porter halfway. After a while, conflicts were prone to occur.

This is the case with the noise behind Li Qing. The guests were obese and difficult to move. The porter was anxious to make money. He was indignant and could not help but speak harshly, so the two quarreled.

The porter has a thick throat and a fierce expression. A shiny old fist swayed in front of the fat businessman, "If you don't pick, don't pick it. I don't want to do it anymore. But I'm just twenty miles away from Yibin County to pick you up now. Is it worth only 300 cents?"

The businessman said angrily: "Are you unreasonable? We have told you the price of 500 ci. You have picked less than half of the journey now. I'll give you 300 ci. It's already good. How much do you want?"

"If you hadn't been walking slowly, I had already walked back and forth, and you would have to bear the loss. If you took five hundred cents, I wouldn't do it if you didn't have one less cent."

"You obviously came to me, but now I'm saying that I'm walking slowly and slandering me, so I won't give it to you."

The porter acted arrogantly, took a big stroll and walked away with a big striking force, and said with a smile: "Hehe! If you don't give it to me, do you think I have no choice?"

The fat merchant was shocked and had no idea where the strength came from, so he rushed up and grabbed his luggage, "Bandit! Put down my things!"

At this time, several more porters came and clamored around the fat merchant. They were obviously in the same group as the porter. The porter leader even fought. The fat merchant was stubborn and held his luggage without leaving it. He was fisted on his body, but he refused to beg for mercy.

"Stop!" Li Qing's eyebrows stood up and he walked off the carriage angrily. He dared to be arrogant in front of the dignified ninth-rank official of the Tang Dynasty. It is tolerant to challenge his authority, but who is unbearable.

Several porters were startled by Li Qing's words and let go of their hands and turned around. Since ancient times, officials have been the heavens and the people have been the land. People have not dared to fight with officials. However, when several porters saw that Li Qing was only wearing casual clothes, without any dignity and official spirit, they did not believe it, so they ignored him, rolled up their sleeves and yelled and surrounded the fat merchants.
