Chapter 208: The Three Hegemons of Jieyang Town
The fishing boat rowed across the river at an unhurried pace, sailing on the wide Xunyang River. The scene of the true love between mother and son on the boat touched the heart of the gangster. He vowed to change his mind and become a good person, put down his butcher knife, and became a Buddha immediately.
"Son, in this vast sea of people, do you think we can find a miracle doctor?"
"It's definitely possible! Many people say that the miracle doctor went all the way south to seek refuge."
"Son, why don't we two go back? Anyway, this sick girl can carry it."
"Mom, please relax, I will definitely find Dr. An, even if I can't find him..."
The mother and son asked and answered each other, and the young man comforted his mother while feeding him, vowing to do so. However, before he finished speaking, Zhang Heng's doubtful voice came.
"Wait a minute, brothers Xu, which miracle doctor do you think it is?"
"Oh, brother! He is the miracle doctor of Jiankang Prefecture in Jinling. His surname is An and his first name is Daoquan!" Seeing that it was Zhang Heng who asked, the young man did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "My mother has a chronic disease. I heard that Jiankang Prefecture has something to say.
There is a miracle doctor who can cure people. I traveled south from Hebei to seek medical treatment. When I arrived at Kangkang, I found that the miracle doctor had beaten people to death, so he went south to escape. My mother and son inquired along the way and chased me."
"An Daoquan? Who did you ask for information?" Zhang Heng looked at the young man with a strange expression. At the same time, he stopped rowing hard, and the speed of the boat suddenly slowed down.
He knew that his brother Zhang Shun took his mother to Jiankang Mansion to look for the miracle doctor An Daoquan, and then met Chao Tianwang and followed him to Chaojiazhuang. The letter clearly stated that my mother recovered after being treated by the miracle doctor. Although it did not say whose name it was.
, but more than 80% to 90% of them are An Daoquan. However, this mother and son went all the way south, how could they find them when they were completely opposite?
"Brother, all the neighbors in Jiankang Prefecture mentioned the south gate. I asked along the way and there was also such a saying." The young man replied quickly. He also saw that Zhang Heng had a strange face and was not rowing. He suddenly realized something and his face was full of surprise:
"Does it mean that my brother knows the whereabouts of this miracle doctor? I hope he can tell him."
"It's most likely that Dr. An didn't go south! Anyway, I've never heard of crossing the Xunyang River." Zhang Heng met the young man's gaze and showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He sighed in his heart. It doesn't matter, the atonement starts from this moment.
"I'm not sure if it's Doctor An, but I know there's a place where there's a miracle doctor. If you have difficult and complicated diseases, and the medicine can cure them, he can definitely diagnose and treat you?"
"Oh, is there such a thing?" The young man was surprised and happy when he heard this. He bowed to Zhang Heng repeatedly: "Then please point me to a clear way to prevent my old mother from suffering from illness. This kindness will be unforgettable for me.
"
As he said this, he was about to prostrate himself and beg!
"Brother Xu, don't be like this!" Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he was slightly embarrassed: "There are some things that are inconvenient to say clearly. I have a brother there. My mother also suffered from a nasty disease and was cured by the miracle doctor. Brother.
If you can trust me, then follow me all the way."
"That's it!" The young man suddenly realized, and seeing that Zhang Heng didn't seem to be lying, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will go with my brother, but I don't know the direction?"
"Go north!" Zhang Heng said only two words!
"Hey, it's the exact opposite!" The young man was startled, then laughed.
"Brother and I, sit tight, let's go back!" Zhang Heng was very happy to see that he had done a good deed. It was an experience he had never had before.
With a loud shout, he vigorously swung the oars, churning the river water and bringing huge thrust. The small fishing boat rode the wind and waves and rushed towards the shore.
But when we were still some distance away from the shore, we suddenly heard someone calling.
"Boatman, come and rescue me quickly."
"Hurry, brother, we are in the water."
Zhang Heng heard a somewhat familiar call and subconsciously slowed down the oars. Standing on the bow of the boat and looking around, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone on the river in the distance. Since the sky was getting dark, he couldn't see clearly. There should be three people.
"Brother, I'm afraid someone has fallen into the water. Hurry up and take a look!" The young man also heard the shout and stood on the boat to look around. When he saw what happened, he quickly looked at Zhang Heng.
In the past, this gangster would have blackmailed a sum of money if he was nosy, but he decided to abandon evil and do good, and he changed his direction when he heard the call for help.
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!" the young man said and came to help.
"Brother is so kind-hearted!" Zhang Heng smiled, feeling even more profoundly.
The two paddled hard and drove past quickly.
When he got closer and felt familiar, Zhang Heng couldn't help shouting: "Are they Brother Li and the Tong brothers in front of me?"
As expected, there were three people floating on the river, breathing heavily and looking exhausted. Seeing the fishing boats passing by quickly and hearing inquiries, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They waved on the water and called: "Ah, that's not a boat fire, Brother Zhang."
?”
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, come and save me."
"Oh, there are really three brothers!" Zhang Heng was slightly surprised and paddled harder. After a while, he approached the three people and pulled them on board one by one. He turned on the stove and brought them some dry clothes.
Put on.
"This brother from the Xu family is a passenger. That is his mother, not an outsider!" Zhang Heng pointed at the young man and introduced briefly, then looked at the three people who were rescued.
"I said brothers, why did this happen?"
"Hey, brother," the leader, a man with dark skin and more than eight feet tall, smiled bitterly: "The private salt was kidnapped by the army again. Brothers ran for their lives. The three of us were chased along the way. No, we met brothers on the way.
"
The other two burly men wiped their wet hair with linen cloth, sneezed and complained: "Hey, the belongings accumulated for several months are gone again."
"His grandma's was fine the first few times, but he waited until there was more goods. These minions obviously did it on purpose. It's hard for the people to eat low-priced salt."
The three big men became more and more frustrated when they thought about their goods being robbed!
These three people are none other than Li Jun's gang, one of the three hegemons around the Xunyang River. The swarthy man at the head is Li Jun, nicknamed Hunjianglong. He is from Luzhou and works as a punter in the Yangtze River, surrounded by two people.
People come out of the cave to look like a powerful dragon, and cross the river to look like a mirage, selling private salt together.
Zhang Heng rowed a boat beside the bed, thinking in his mind. His brother Zhang Shun said he was alone, so why not take this opportunity to recruit Li Jun and others to join the gang? By the way, there are two people from Jieyang Town who are also good at martial arts.
He, a gangster on the river, can be forgiven, let alone the other two bullies. As long as he changes his mind and goes to Chaojiazhuang, he will be taken care of in the future.
Yes, yes, just do it!
Zhang Heng thought of this and shouted into the cabin: "Brother Li, brothers from the Tong family, our little arms can't twist our thighs. If the government wants to arrest you, they can arrest you. It's just a matter of words to rob you whenever they want."
"Hey, that's right! You can't escape harassment even when you're ferrying on a river or fishing." Three big men in the cabin stuck their heads out and shook their heads helplessly.
Zhang Heng smiled slightly but was a bit fierce, and then said with a hint of confusion: "Three brothers, I do have a good place to go. We are also peaceful and kind people, but we eat meat and drink wine in large quantities. I wonder if you would like to go?
"
"Go! I don't want to be a fat sheep anymore!" Li Jun, a big black man, patted the cabin edge.
"Brother Zhang, tell me about a good place!" Tong Wei and Tong Meng asked hurriedly.
"It's getting dark, let's go to Mu Hong's house first." Zhang Heng smiled and didn't say much. Li Jun and his two younger brothers looked at each other without asking any questions, and warmed themselves by the fire.
The small fishing boat sailed quickly and soon stopped in a reed bush. Everyone took their luggage and went ashore. The young man supported his old mother and followed Zhang Heng.
When it was getting dark, we passed by Jieyang Town on the way.
This is a prosperous place, with a population of more than 10,000, and many shops and restaurants. Seeing that Zhang Heng and others had something to discuss, the young man surnamed Xu found it inconvenient for him to follow him. He offered to take his wife to a hotel to settle down.
How could Zhang Heng be willing to give in? Li Jun and the Tong brothers are also warm-hearted people.
"Hey, brothers of the Xu family, don't go outside. The Mu family is a big local family and they are not robbers. What are you afraid of? Let's go. Are you afraid that I will neglect you and my mother?"
"That's right, brother, don't be polite. How can the store be as convenient as the Mu family? You and your old mother have a good time together. Let's go and get you something delicious."
The young man could not refuse the warm invitation from everyone, so he had to thank him profusely, supported his mother and followed them, walked two miles and came to a large house. Surrounded by more than a hundred thick willow trees, there was a river next to it.
Green mountains in the distance, Xunyang River nearby!
On the plaque on the main entrance are two large gilded characters of "Mu Mansion".
The two brothers, Mu Hong and Mu Chun, were the first tyrants in Jieyang Town. They had frequent contacts with the other two tyrants, Zhang Heng and Li Jun.
Now we come together to visit you.
After knocking on the door, the servants returned to the house to report. Old Mrs. Mu and her two sons, Mu Hong and Mu Chun, went out to greet them. They invited everyone into the manor to entertain them warmly. There were naturally many young people named Xu and his old mother, but the old woman was in poor health.
He was ill and in poor spirits. After having a good meal and wine, he settled down with his family.
Old Mrs. Mu was not young at all. He had a drink with everyone and then went back to his room to rest.
At the banquet, only the three tyrants of Jieyang Town were left!
The Hunjiang Dragon Li Jun and the "Urgent Judge" Li Li, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng occupied Jieyang Ridge.
There was no way to stop Mu Hong, but there was little way to stop Mu Chun from dominating Jieyang Town.
The boat fire is horizontal, the waves are bright, and the white strips are Zhang Shun, dominating the Xunyang River.
At the banquet, Li Jun and the Tong brothers talked about their experiences again. Everyone in the underworld gang was so sad that they cursed the government for its wickedness.
Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Zhang Heng drank the wine in one gulp and looked at the two parties: "Brothers, Zhang is leaving here and defecting to King Chao Tian of Shandong."
"King Chao Tian of Shandong?" Li Jun, Mu Hong and others were surprised. Who doesn't know this famous gangster who was once the number one private businessman on Jingdong Road? Li Jun, a small private salt dealer, and others can only be regarded as horses.
young.
"I'm really not busy. King Chao Tianwang has been sending letters for several months, and he also asked Dai Zongdai, the dean of the two academies in Jiangzhou, to come and invite him, but Li was hesitant." Hun Jianglong Li Jun sighed and thought of himself.
Talk about the past.
Unexpectedly, Mu Hong put down his wine glass in surprise and said quickly: "Oh, Dean Dai also came to visit a few months ago and said that King Chao Tianwang was recruiting talents. Because our family business is so big, our two brothers neither agreed nor refused.
"
"Dean Dai is a member of the government, so we have concerns!"
Li Jun and the Tong brothers looked at each other and expressed their worries.
"Hahaha, it turns out I'm not the only one who is worried, you guys!" Zhang Heng couldn't help laughing when he heard that people on both sides were hesitating. He took the letter out of his arms and handed it to Li Jun, Mu Hong and others.
Chapter completed!
