Da Kui held a banquet at the back of the Yamen that night to entertain Lao Wan. Lao Wan was three years older than Da Kui this year, so Da Kui and Wan kept shouting, but there was no official airs at all. Occasionally, Lao Wan uttered a few swear words. I feel like I have a bad temper.
After drinking for three rounds, Dakui asked: "Brother, I am a layman. I don't know what is going on in the world. What kind of organization is the Blood Splatter Sect? Why do so many people become so angry after hearing this, but they don't say anything?"
Lao Wan drank so much that his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he laughed and said: "It's not the Blood Splatter Gate, it's the Blood Splatter Hall. The Blood Splash Hall is the largest gang in Jiangbei. This gang has many disciples, hundreds of them."
Dakui couldn't help asking: "Hundreds of people are still too many,"
Lao Wan took a sip of wine and then said: "If they are hundreds of ordinary people, it would be nothing, but the hundreds of people in the Blood Splatter Hall are all martial arts masters, and they all possess special skills." Lao Wan paused and said: "For example "Liu Ya, he was adopted by the sect master at the age of seven. He is proficient in bow and horse, and his riding and shooting skills can be said to be able to defeat the enemy with a hundred steps."
Pan Bu was sitting on one side and was responsible for pouring wine. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh. Dakui knew what he meant and couldn't help but glared at Pan Bu. Pan Bu saw that Dakui's expression was not kind, so he quickly lowered his head and dared not say anything.
Fortunately, Lao Wan didn't notice Pan Bu's look, and still said to himself: "The main name of the hall master Lou Iga is Abersilang (Mongolian: lion). He was originally from the Yuan Dynasty. He has been fond of practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has good skills. He practiced martial arts at a high level under the guidance of a famous master. He was originally a bodyguard of the Yingzong. Later, the Yingzong died at the hands of Tiechu during the Nanpo Incident. Abul Silang then wandered around the world and changed his name to Lou Iga."
When Dakui heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At that time, Dakui had been traveling north of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and he had heard about the deeds of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Yingzong (1303, 1323), named Shuode Balala, the eldest son of Yuan Renzong, the ninth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty (1320, 1323), known as Emperor Gejian in Mongolian, studied classics and history from Han Confucianism in his early years. He ascended the throne in the seventh year of Yanzhi (1320), and appointed Baizhu, the envoy of Taichang Liyuan, as the left prime minister, to confront the powerful minister Temudier, the right prime minister. In the second year of Zhizhi (1322), Temudier died, and he was promoted to the prime minister of the left. Prime Minister Right, vigorously carried out reforms, issued the "Zhenju Taigang System", reused Han Confucian officials and recruited talents; dismissed the Huizheng Yuan, cut redundant officials and streamlined the organization; implemented the Assistance Law to reduce corvee; promulgated the "Dayuantong" "System", strengthen the legal system, eliminate the remaining party of Temudier, execute the Xuanzhengyuan envoy Pasighis (son of Temudie) and others, and investigate their crimes. The remaining party of Temudier, the censor Tieshi and others conspired to launch a coup. In August of the following year, Yuan Yingzong and Baizhu returned north from Shangdu (to the east of Zhenglan Banner in Inner Mongolia) to Dadu (today's Beijing). On the way, they camped in Nanpadian (30 miles southwest of Shangdu) and were assassinated by Tie Shi and others. , known as the "Nanpo Incident" in history, he reigned for four years, and the temple was named Yingzong.
It turned out that Lou Yihe actually had such a life experience, which was beyond Dakui's imagination.
Lao Wan continued: "Later, Lou Yihe gradually gained strength in the world, so he supported Emperor Yuan Hui, Tuohuan Timur, in power, and helped Tuohuan Timur eradicate his dissidents. Slowly, Lou Yihe's The power went from light to dark, and finally became the number one killer organization in the world. This is the origin of Blood Splatter Hall."
When Da Kui heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. No wonder Tuo Huan Timur had been the emperor for many years despite his cowardice. It turned out that there were so many secret ways.
"I wonder where the chief rudder of the Blood Splattered Hall is," Da Kui asked. Naturally, he wanted to annihilate him with thunderous means. Leaving such a scourge in the world would be tantamount to harming the country and the people. Eliminating him would end the end of Emperor Yuan Hui.
A single finger of his could not hurt his life, but it was enough to make Tuohuan Timur heartbroken.
Lao Wan pondered for a moment and then said: "The chief rudder is in Jiangnan."
"What?" Da Kui asked in surprise, "Where is it?" Da Kui's surprise was not without reason. Blood Splattered Hall was the largest gang in the north of the Yangtze River, but the chief helm was located in the south of the Yangtze River. This was a bit unbelievable.
Lao Wan looked around and then whispered: "Linjiang Mansion,"
When Dakui heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. The incident of Blood Splatter Hall sending killers to deal with him seemed to be right in front of him. If Blood Splash Hall really had hundreds of masters, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Back then, he had gone to Raozhou to investigate Pan Yan's embezzlement. The Raozhou Prefecture and Linjiang Prefecture were only a few hundred miles away. Fortunately, he was acting secretly. If Xue Splatter Hall had discovered his whereabouts, wouldn't he have been in danger?
Dakui felt a little scared thinking about it and couldn't help asking: "Where is it in Linjiang Mansion?"
Lao Wan took a mouthful of beef and chewed it slowly, then said: "The brothels and casinos in Linjiang Prefecture are all owned by Xue Splatter Hall. The annual income from these two businesses alone is tens of thousands of taels.
"
When Dakui heard this, he asked doubtfully: "Since it is a killer organization, it should strive to be concealed. How can it do business blatantly? How can it be done with such ostentation?"
"Hahaha, I don't walk around in the world, so of course I don't know what's going on in the world," Lao Wan said, deliberately showing off his words, using chopsticks to pick up food and a wine glass to drink.
Da Kui knew clearly that he was trying to show off, but he still pretended to be very anxious and asked: "What's the secret here? I hope I can teach me." As he said that, Da Kui took the wine flask and filled Lao Wan with a glass of wine.
Lao Wan didn't talk nonsense and only said three words: "It's dark under the lamp."
(ps: In ancient times, people often used bowls, dishes, lamps and other utensils to inject animal and vegetable oils and light the wicks for lighting. When lighting, they were blocked by the lamp itself, creating dark areas under the lamp. Since these areas are very close to the light source, by extension
People do not see or notice things and events happening very close to them, which is called darkness under the lamp,)
When Lao Wan said this, Dakui finally understood what he meant.
"Come on, come on, brother, I'd like to offer you a glass of wine. Please give me some advice," said Da Kui, who drank from the glass of wine first.
Lao Wan also drank with him, and then he put down his glass and asked, "Master Zhang, what do you mean by asking these questions? Do you want to send troops to destroy the blood-spattered door?" After asking this question, Lao Wan smiled and shook his hand.
"I advise you not to think like this. Let's not talk about the unfathomable martial arts of Lou Yihe. The Blood Splattered Hall is deeply rooted in Linjiang Mansion. It is not that easy to completely extinguish it."
Dakui chuckled and said, "It will be easier if Brother Wan is here, hahaha,"
Lao Wan was shocked when he heard this and looked at Da Kui dumbly. Da Kui then said: "Tomorrow you will come back to Suzhou with me, and then we will go to Linjiang Mansion together."
"Master Zhang, do you really want to wipe out the Blood Splatter Hall in one fell swoop?" Lao Wan still didn't believe it. He knew that the hundreds of killers in the Blood Splash Hall were not easy to deal with. If they wanted to fight bloody battles, they could kill a hundred of them.
Dakui smiled mysteriously and said: "I have this intention. I wonder if Brother Wan would like to wish me well." Seeing that Old Wan was still hesitant, Dakui smiled and said: "There's no need for me to embarrass you, just recognize him.
"After a long time, Lao Wan finally nodded.
The next day, Da Kui and Pan Bu Lao Wan left Qingpu County. Before leaving, He Chongzhi hurriedly asked about the result. Da Kui only said: "The murderer must die. Mr. He, the two criminals in prison, can deal with it by himself."
The only thing that worries Da Kui now is the blood splattering in the hall, and other things are secondary.
He Chongzhi couldn't help but feel a little confused when he heard Dakui's arrangement. It was all going nowhere, so he just left it alone.
The three of them rode fast horses back to Wuxian County, Suzhou. When they saw the three hundred strong men in the barracks, all of them were strong and powerful, Dakui was very satisfied. As the saying goes: Farmers don't know the goods, so they only pick the big ones.
These three hundred people may not be considered masters in martial arts, but their foundation is indeed very solid, and in terms of body, they are all strong men. These people practice martial arts hard every day, practice physical strength diligently, and eat and drink well. After a few months, these three hundred people were trained into the best among the best soldiers.
Today's three hundred elite soldiers are proficient in swords and guns, and are proficient in bows and crossbows. Moreover, they can run on the ground and swim in the water. In contemporary terms, they are amphibious warriors.
At the time when Da Kui was employing people, Hong Wu, Tian Feng, and Zhou Kai also came back from Huguang and other places, and brought back good news and bad news. The good news was that Wang Fu was in Sichuan and had taken refuge with the Linzhou Xuanfu envoy. The Heng tribe of the Yi ethnic group pulled the Changshe family (the Yi ethnic group) from the army. The bad news is that the Changshe family is not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and is connected with Yunnan and Guizhou. They have hundreds of thousands of troops to separate themselves.
Da Kui had mixed feelings when he heard the news. He was happy that there was finally news about Wang Fufu, but he was worried that Wang Fu was in a different place but he was like a flower in the mist in the well.
"Isn't Guizhou province garrisoned by our Ming army? How could this happen?" Dakui asked anxiously.
When Hong Wu asked, he reported in detail: "In response to Mr. Zhang, the entire territory of Guizhou was originally under the control of the Yi people. Since the Changshe clan's uprising, even the Ming soldiers and horses in Shunyuan City were driven out of Guizhou. Now, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan are no longer places that Ming can control.
"How could it be like this? Is my daimyo's army just for show?" Dakui couldn't help but feel a little angry. When Shunyuan and his party were treated so well by people of all ethnic groups, how come it took just over a year for him to become a traitor? Right and wrong.
At this time, Pan Bu walked next to him: "The Changshe clan is the chief of the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan Yi people. As a Yi people, we cannot disobey the orders of the chief." Pan Bu lowered his head as he spoke.
Dakui smiled and patted Pan Bu on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, I don't mean to blame anyone. It's just that this incident is too unexpected and my father is a little surprised. However, my father will report this matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to make a decision." ,"
Pan Bu heard this and asked hurriedly: "Father, the Ming Dynasty will not go to war with the Yi people, right?"
Dakui said with a smile: "The Yi people are hard-working and kind-hearted, but Wang Fu and his like have evil intentions. I'm afraid that the Changshe family will be deceived by Wang Fu's clever words. Once the two sides go to war, it will be a huge disaster for both sides."
"Father, if there is a war, what will I do?" Pan Bu shed tears as he said this.
Dakui smiled slightly and said: "We are a family and we will not start a war." After saying this, Dakui said to the others: "Everyone, prepare yourself. We will set off to Linjiang Mansion tomorrow."
At this time, Meng Ge was also around. When he heard what Da Kui said, he couldn't help asking, "What are we going to Linjiang for?"
Dakui gritted his teeth and said: "Fire and blood splashed into the hall,"
As soon as these words came out, everyone around him exclaimed. Da Kui knew very little about Blood Splatter Hall, but many people around him knew the details. The number one killer organization in the world was not easy to mess with.
Dakui then ordered Master Feng, "Master Feng, please go to Suzhou City and temporarily borrow 500 horses from the Suzhou City Defense Troops and Horses Division, and take me with you." Master Feng took the order and went out.
Dakui said to Meng Ge again: "Instruct the soldiers to change their weapons at Dachui in the district." Meng Ge nodded and went to the barracks.
Dakui looked at the others and said: "Tian Feng and Zhou Kai, you two and a hundred people will stay behind, and the rest will follow me to Linjiang Mansion tomorrow. There must be no mistake." After hearing this, everyone in the hall raised their hands and accepted the order.
