Mao Gonglei's two subordinates had been waiting in the corridor for a long time—the sound of him rushing out of the room had alarmed them.The three of them left "Wannianchun" after washing and changing their clothes, looking for a place to have breakfast. Mao Gonglei had already arrived in Piaocheng yesterday evening, and he was supposed to go to the "Fengyilong Piaocheng Branch" on Zhongzheng Street to say hello.But Pang Wenying was a bit disgusted with prostitutes, so Mao Gonglei went to "have fun" for a night first. The three ordered random pasta and pies at a restaurant.Mao Gonglei really likes these southern foods, which are much more refined than those in Kyoto.

Mao Gonglei didn't put on his robe, but just put it on his shoulders.To him, the winter in Piaocheng is not too cold. After eating, the three of them were still wandering around Anton Street.Mao Gonglei never puts on airs with his subordinates: they eat whatever he eats; they also have girls in the next room to wait on him when he goes whoring—the boss is having a good time, but the younger ones have to stand outside the door and drink the wind, Mao Gonglei thinks that is so boring... … It's time to get down to business.The men had already contacted the person who provided information in the city last night.They did see men who seemed to be in charge.The other 23 subordinates are already guarding the three city gates - only nine of them are actually monitoring at the same time, and the rest are changing shifts regularly and in charge of communication.Mao Gonglei always prepares sufficient manpower to prevent his subordinates from working too hard.And he trusted every single one of those twenty-three.Three people are enough for each city gate.

Of course, he can still rely on "Feng Yilong Piaocheng Branch" at a critical moment.As long as Wen Sixi is told, one or two hundred people can be mobilized at any time.But he didn't want others to share the credit.He has traveled more than 1,700 miles in this pursuit. Guan Chang, the "Marshal of Suppressing Chaos" and "Marquis of Antong" Lu Yingfeng's confidantes accompanied him.A few years ago, Huo Qian, another of Lu's trusted wing generals, disappeared together. ——Guan Chang's head is worth five hundred taels of gold.This is the secret flower announced by the great eunuch Lun Xiao in the Jianghu.Of course, smart people will follow Guan to find out where Lu Yingfeng is.The head of that famous general is worth ten times more.

Mao Gonglei is certainly not for gold.Lun Xiao is closely related to Rong Yushan, the current "Feng Yilong" sacrificial wine.The order to hunt down came from Rong Xiaoshan, the eldest son of Rong Jijiu. That bastard who can only rely on his father's shade... It was very accidental to discover Guan Chang: I met a fellow villager in Donghuai City and talked to him a few words.The guy was arrested two days later for committing the crime, and he showed his fellow countryman's name and official rank to plead for mercy—he didn't know that Guan Chang had already committed the crime of deserting the army.According to him, there are still several men traveling with Guan Chang.

Mao Gonglei kept going south along the coast, and did not catch up until he reached Piaocheng.He believed that it was not accidental that the other party came to Piaocheng.Perhaps this is their destination. Since the "war against chaos", Piaocheng, which is busy with business travelers, has gradually become an important information exchange station.Although the rebel forces in the south were severely damaged after the war, they were not completely eradicated.Both the scouts and spies from the north and the south, as well as the intelligence dealers who worked for money, all used business as a disguise to be active in Piaocheng.Mao Gonglei knew, because Pang Wenying also collected intelligence for important court officials.This has always been the most important political capital of "Feng Yilong".

If Lu Yingfeng wants to make a comeback, the most direct way is to cooperate with those ambitious people in the south - even though they were sworn enemies in the past.And what Lun Xiao is most afraid of is this: the combination of the fertile military capital in the South and Lu Yingfeng's military genius. "This place in Drifting City is really interesting..." Mao Gonglei recalled the fat man he met in the brothel "Wan Nian Chun" just now.According to the intelligence description, he is one of Yu Runsheng's sworn brothers.Originally, he was not very interested in the new power of Piaocheng, but after seeing the scythe, he changed his mind.

——How many men like this do Yu Runsheng have under his command?
"That bastard Yu Runsheng, what the hell is he planning?" Wang Shanglin gritted his teeth and said bitterly, and slammed the tea bowl into the corner.Before he became the leader of the "Poke Eye" Hairy Third Master, he was a trail-snipping robber who frightened travelers in the outskirts of the city, and his violent temperament was somewhat similar to that of the former Hairy. Lu Meichao, who was sitting next to her, pressed her index finger to her lips. "Stop the goddamn yelling, do you want everybody up and down the river to hear?"

The two looked out the window at the same time.At the upper bend of the drifting river, the construction of the new port continued in the early morning.It appears to be almost built. "That Yu guy, I don't know where he got so much money..." Lu Meichao frowned tightly. "Are you sure that old man Pang Wenying didn't take part?" He said looking at Jinya Puchuan. Pu Chuan grinned his usual smile, his four front teeth inlaid with gold shone in the morning light. "I'm sure. What's more, if 'Feng Yilong' has money, there is no need to hide it."

Compared with the tall and strong Wang Shanglin and the capable Lu Meichao, Jinya Puchuan is the calmest of the three. They were sitting in a counting room on the second floor of "Hetong Pier" on the floating river.Here they don't have to worry about safety.Jinya Puchuan owns a 30% interest in the only pier in Piaocheng.Among the other three joint venture partners, two are the largest rice grain store and winery in Piaocheng, each accounting for 25% of the total.The remaining 20% ​​originally belonged to the "slaughter house". Three years ago, the three shareholders agreed to transfer it to Pang Wenying as a tribute.

"Hetong Port" is also busy as usual.The small scale of the port is not directly proportional to the commercial volume of Piaocheng, so it operates almost all night every day.Because of this, Jinya Puchuan was able to raise the cost of loading and unloading goods high. ——However, after the completion of the new port, everything will change... The two bosses, Wang Shanglin and Lu Meichao, are independent new forces after the collapse of the "slaughter house". For several years, they have been in charge of taking care of Puchuan's private goods trading, and they often go to and from the port.The meeting of the three here will not arouse suspicion.

"Why did Yu Runsheng suddenly agree to negotiate with you? Maybe he already knows our plan..." Wang Shanglin tried to keep his voice down. "If you miss the opportunity and confront those Xing Leng'er head-on, no one will know the result!" The phrase "Xing Leng'er" is particularly abrupt: since the battle four years ago, almost no one in the city has used this title to describe Yu Runsheng and his power.In addition to the former cadres who are still nostalgic for the glory days of the "slaughterhouse", they occasionally talk about this derogatory name.Wang Shanglin is the most stubborn of these former "slaughterhouse" cadres. "Brother Wang, are you afraid?" Pu Chuan's smile didn't change. "I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. He doesn't have to agree to meet me at all if he wants to. He's ready to fight us now. We're the ones who brought him to the negotiating table." "Maybe he's just using this negotiation as a cover to let us relax." Lu Meichao used to work for the "throat" Yin Qiye, and his personality was more cautious. "Then we have to be more careful." Pu Chuan said. "But I don't think he has to. He also knows that it's impossible to plot against me in a negotiation. He's not stupid enough to think I'm going to show up unprepared?" "Then..." Wang Shanglin asked anxiously: "Our original plan..." Pu Chuan sticks out his tongue to lick the gold teeth. "Of course continue to prepare. But first listen to what he has to say to me. I'm a businessman." Puchuan's four teeth were knocked out by hooligans from a neighboring village when he was fifteen, and it wasn't until he was thirty-six that he had four golden teeth replaced.During those twenty-one years, he rolled between black and white with a toothless mouth. During the heyday of the "slaughterhouse", Pu Chuan relied on his relationship with the "skinned" old Yu Bo, and took 40% of the private goods trafficking in the whole city, lived in a luxurious mansion in Tongtai, and married three My little wife has opened two brothels and eight restaurants on Anton Street.All kinds of private goods he handles: wood, stone, cloth, leather, grain and oil, etc. are all printed with his own logo. With the capital of the private goods business and the fist of the "slaughter house", he semi-forced to obtain half of the rights and interests of "Hetong Port"-in fact, he held the 30% ownership, which was originally authorized by the "slaughter house" . Four years ago when the "slaughterhouse" collapsed, Jinya Puchuan was not too worried, but rejoiced that he was not officially subordinate to the "slaughterhouse".It's just that the underworld has changed its master. Pu Chuan firmly believes that no matter who is in charge, he will always be needed—and the sales network he has firmly grasped. At the beginning of the change of hegemony, Jinya Puchuan's business came to a complete standstill. After the "Fengyilong Piaocheng Branch" officially consolidated its position in Piaocheng, he was able to pull the line through the governor Cha Song—of course it would inevitably cost a lot of gold—to successfully negotiate with Pang Wenying and reopen all private goods trading, of course " Feng Yilong's private salt business will not let outsiders like Pu Chuan take advantage of it. The original forces of the "slaughter house" split into dozens of new gang leaders, and they broke out conflicts from time to time in order to fight for financial resources in the new order of Piaocheng.Pu Chuan, who holds a big business in his hands, took the opportunity to recruit some of the biggest forces - private goods trading, without the protection of underworld forces, it would be difficult to move forward.It can be said that he and several corner bosses depend on each other, but when there are major differences among the corner bosses, Pu Chuan seems to be the decision maker and arbiter among them.Compared with the past obedience to the "slaughterhouse", Pu Chuan's position in the Tao is becoming more and more important. In the new era of Piaocheng, Jinya Puchuan grasps unprecedented opportunities and is gradually emerging—if it is not for the "big tree hall". Yu Runsheng's "Big Tree Hall".No one in the underworld in Piaocheng had heard of this name before.Now it is a new force second only to "Feng Yilong" in the city, as if it descended from the sky. Whoever killed the "slaughterhouse" Mr. Zhu, and who broke down and burned the "big slaughterhouse" has never been officially admitted, but everyone in Piaocheng knows it in their hearts.What happened that night was indeed witnessed by very few people, but in the underworld, the process is not important.What matters is the result.As a result, the floating city of the "slaughterhouse" became the floating city of "Feng Yilong" overnight, and at the same time, a "big tree hall" appeared out of nowhere. The rapid expansion of "Dashutang" in private goods in recent years has seriously threatened Jinya Puchuan's business.Now Yu Runsheng is building a new port twice the size of "Hetong Port" on the bank of the floating river, which is like stabbing a knife into the heart of Puchuan's private goods kingdom. Pu Chuan sent people to check on Yu Runsheng's tone many times long ago, hoping to discuss cooperation matters - he firmly believed that this would be beneficial to both parties.Even if the cooperation fails, at least the boundaries between the two parties can be drawn.Unexpectedly, Yu Runsheng rejected all negotiations, and seemed to have identified Pu Chuan as the enemy from the very beginning.This made Pu Chuan very angry.In Pu Chuan's world, there is nothing that can't be negotiated, the difference is only who gets more benefits.Many times he secretly cursed that kid who didn't know what "business" was. Of course, this is not enough to make Jinya Puchuan determined to fight.Pu Chuan is a very practical person.But a little "preparation" in advance is not a bad thing. It took him a long time to draw together many anti-"Dashutang" forces in the city without any trace.At first he just wanted to increase the bargaining chip in future negotiations.However, as the plan gradually matured, he became more and more convinced that it was not a dream to defeat Yu Runsheng. Of course, he also knows: in addition to having enough power, the objective situation is more important.There are two people in Piaocheng who dominate the situation.Pang Wenying and Cha Song. "It's a fact that Yu's business has been getting bigger and bigger in the past few years, but he's not rich enough to be able to build this new port as a sole proprietorship, right?" Lu Meichao was always worried about "Feng Yilong"'s position. "Have you really talked to old man Pang? He really has no objection to us...getting rid of that Yu?" Pu Chuan nodded. The fact is: Pu Chuan visited Pang Wenying two months ago, hinting that he would confront "Dashutang".Pang Wenying just smiled mysteriously and didn't respond much.Pu Chuan believed that smile represented acquiescence. No one can determine the relationship between "Feng Yilong" and "Dashutang". "Dashutang" must have been funded by "Feng Yilong" at the beginning of its establishment, but in addition, there have been very few cooperative businesses between the two gangs in the past few years-compared to the business relationship between Pu Chuan and "Feng Yilong" is much closer; Pang Wenying never publicly admitted that Yu Runsheng was his official subordinate; and Wen Sixi, the new shopkeeper of "Fengyilong Piaocheng Branch", had little contact with Yu Runsheng. It can be said that in the past four years, "Dashutang" has only grown and expanded independently under the shadow of the authority of "Feng Yilong".And the relationship between the two has never even been confirmed. In the past, "Dashutang" encountered several confrontations and resolved them with its own strength, and "Feng Yilong" never helped. Now that Yu Runsheng is building a new port, there is even more direct conflict with the business of "Feng Yilong"... It is not new to "cook rabbits and dogs to death" in the world. Since the "slaughterhouse" no longer exists, Yu Runsheng's value in Pang Wenying's eyes is a question. As for Cha Song, the governor of Piaocheng, Pu Chuan and him were old friends.What's more, Cha Song hated Yu Runsheng from the very beginning - I heard that Yu Runsheng's fourth brother robbed one of Cha Song's women... Thinking of this, Pu Chuan felt that Yu Runsheng lacked enthusiasm.Offending someone as important as Governor Cha for a woman—and not his own—was simply folly. Pu Chuan and Zha Song have reached an agreement: once he makes a move, Cha Song will definitely stand by his side.If "Feng Yilong" has dissatisfaction, Zha Song will come forward to settle it. Pu Chuan, however, did not want a full-scale war, which would do too much damage to business. ——If Yu Runsheng could be directly removed from the map of power... Pu Chuan was also a little surprised at the thought of himself at first.He had never been so eager to kill a man before.But since the "slaughterhouse" disappeared, the rules of Piaocheng seem to be changing all the time.Pu Chuan felt uneasy.He wants to set a rule that is beneficial to him as soon as possible... "I don't think there's anything to talk about. It's better to strike first!" Wang Shanglin was the one most eager to see blood.He still couldn't swallow the humiliation of the "slaughterhouse" failure four years ago. "Just while he's on his way to the appointment..." "Too unsure." Pu Chuan shook his head after thinking for a while.His head is often also weighing risk and reward.It's almost a natural instinct in him. "Then if the negotiation fails, kill his brothers right away! Cut off his left and right hands first!" Wang Shanglin insisted. "The 'Boxing King' guy is the easiest to attack. He is so fat that he can't even run. He is a prostitute almost every night, and he has no guards." Lu Meichao's subordinates are responsible for keeping an eye on the "Dashutang" The whereabouts of each cadre. "There is also Qi Laosi, who is in charge of accounts, and he goes in and out of the same place every day, so it is easy to intercept him on the road." Both Wang and Lu are eager to try. They expect to be the pioneers of revenge among the former "slaughterhouse" forces. This reputation will become a major asset in the road.If it goes well, the banner of "slaughterhouse" may even be raised again... Pu Chuan pondered.Killing two or three of Yu Runsheng's subordinates might hit him for a while... No, the risk is still too great.Pu Chuan often reminded himself that what he was going to face was the person who burned down the "slaughterhouse".Either kill him on the first hit, or don't. What would happen if Yu Runsheng was successfully assassinated?Maybe before the news spreads, kill one or two of his tough brothers.Negotiate the rest with them.Their initial reaction must have been full-throated revenge.But as long as Yu Runsheng is not around, they will soon see the reality clearly, and even fight to become the boss. At the same time, other small forces in the city who know how to look at the direction of the wind will quickly gather, and Pu Chuan, as the leader, will raise all boats when the tide rises.At that time, he could bargain with "Feng Yilong" while embezzling the interests of "Dashutang".It is impossible to bring down "Feng Yilong" in this life, but at least he can share Piaocheng.Pu Chuan knew that it would be the pinnacle of his life... He tried hard not to cloud his judgment with the allurement of the imagination.He looked at the lazy river.The river water that once washed out all kinds of colorful fabrics has become so muddy many years ago.The more turbid it is, the easier it is for a talent like him to survive. "We continue to prepare all means." Pu Chuan said. "But let's hear what conditions Yu Runsheng offers. Remember, this is a business."
