Song Anmin came to report the news about Zhao Yingquan the next morning.
Song Anmin took a cautious look at Li Changan. At this moment, Li Changan made him feel terrified.
It is different from the cold and cold murderous intent before.
Song Anmin felt as if a knife was always pressed against the blood vessels in his neck.
The next moment he had to open his blood vessels and drain all the blood from his body.
Li Changan had a complete view of Song Anmin's situation and quietly put away his sword.
Last night, after experiencing the dream, not only was there another black murderous arrow, but the power of the Wind-Destroying Sword Intent also increased a bit.
So I tried my hand at it.
Song Anmin tightened his throat and concentrated on reporting the situation, "Several gangs around us have received ultimatums from Zhao Yingquan."
"But the Longhu gang has the most, and other gangs only have 50,000 taels."
"Which gang has Zhao Yingquan been close to recently?" Li Changan raised his eyes and looked at Song Anmin.
"The Iron Sand Gang went three times, the Black Mountain Gang twice, the Nine Weasels Gang four times..." Song Anmin took out the information collected by several spies.
"...I only went to Hongmen once."
Li Changan's eyes froze for an instant, and Song Anmin suddenly had hairs all over his body, as if a knife was held to his neck again.
"Hongmen is the second largest gang in the county. Even the No. 1 Black Mountain Gang has been there twice. How could it be possible that we only went to Hongmen once?"
If he were Zhao Yingquan, would it be possible to eradicate the gangs in the county in one fell swoop?
This idea is not realistic.
The power of the government is strong, but it cannot cover everything.
As long as there is no attention, darkness will breed.
Since darkness cannot be completely eliminated, it is better to cultivate one.
In the past, the dozen or twenty gangs in the county were too loose, and conflicts broke out between gangs from time to time, seriously affecting the stability of the county.
Therefore, it is more in line with Zhao Yingquan's idea to leave only one gang to take over all the dirty and dirty things.
And now there is a most suitable opportunity.
That is to look for Jiang Lingyan.
This kind of thing is weird from the inside out, and it even promises to unify the underground world of the county.
It's definitely not Zhao Yingquan's decision.
I have the opportunity to take advantage of the tiger's skin and clean up these gangs in the county.
It is completely in Zhao Yingquan's interests.
So who should be left among so many gangs?
Li Changan's eyes showed a thoughtful look, "Keep an eye on Hongmen, I suspect there is something wrong with Hongmen."
"Understood." Song Anmin nodded and accepted the order.
Li Changan thought for a while and continued,
"Don't rush to give me one hundred thousand taels now, let's see what other gangs do."
"In addition, it is very likely that something big will happen in the county recently. The Jinbu business will be completely divested, and Wangfuji will be pushed to the forefront. For the remaining businesses, even the Jinbu tribe will have to put on new faces."
"Those who may have been exposed don't need to hide. They can stay in Wangfu Ji safely."
"The same goes for all members of the spy department. They have all dispersed. They will focus on collecting intelligence during the recent period and do not do other things for the time being."
"As long as it involves Zhao Yingquan's news, I want to know everything without leaving the ground, and write down the people Zhao Yingquan sees every day."
Song Anmin memorized Li Changan's orders one by one, and then prepared to leave.
Li Changan called to Song Anmin, "Brothers, please be careful and stay dormant as much as possible."
"Yes, lord."
…
Time passes day by day,
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the festive atmosphere in the county and city becomes increasingly high.
In the academy, in addition to normal schoolwork, all students focused on the upcoming Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival.
The academy is also fully cooperating. After all, it is a cultural feast and no one wants to miss it.
Li Changan also enjoyed his leisure time.
In addition to self-cultivation that became more and more rigorous every day, he put all the remaining energy on Zhao Yingquan's plan.
I don’t pay that much attention to the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival.
Song Anmin would compile the collected intelligence and hand it over to him every day.
In the past few days, the spy department and the gold department have cooperated so closely for the first time.
From the shops scattered throughout the county to the street vendors, beggars and homeless people, they all became Li Changan's eyes and ears.
Take a panoramic view of all the movements, big and small, behind the scenes in the county and city.
August 14th night,
There are only a few hours left until the Mid-Autumn Festival,
Outside the back door of an inconspicuous wine shop,
A beggar huddled in the corner, tugged at the tattered linen cloth on his body, muttered something inaudible, moved the broken bowl at his feet forward, and leaned back into the corner.
But those cloudy eyes kept staring at the back door of the wine shop.
Just now, several people have walked in from here one after another, and they are all people who want to be targeted recently.
It looks like there are big fish here tonight.
The beggar was covered in filth. People passing by just glanced at it and subconsciously stayed away from the corner. No one would pay attention to a beggar in the street.
When a middle-aged man wearing simple linen clothes and with triangular eyes walked into the back door, the beggar lowered his head quietly to prevent others from seeing the light in his eyes.
There are really big fish!
Zhao Yingquan!
The beggar kept all the people coming in and out in his mind, and still huddled in the corner like a corpse, waiting patiently.
Zhao Yingquan walked into the back door of the wine shop and was led by the waiter to a hidden room.
Not long after, Hong Taibao, the head of Hongmen, also walked in.
Everyone else in the room left one after another.
"I've seen Zhao Dianshi." Hong Taibao walked like a tiger, but when he walked in, he subconsciously bowed his waist slightly and saluted Zhao Yingquan with cupped fists.
Zhao Yingquan did not leave his seat, but just clasped his fists towards Taibao Hong, "Hongda is in charge."
"When will Mr. Dianshi take action?" Hong Taibao stepped forward, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and poured wine for Zhao Yingquan himself.
"Have the Hongmen affairs been arranged?" Zhao Yingquan lowered his head to eat the food, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Everything has been arranged. Something big will happen to the Black Mountain Gang and the Longhu Gang soon," Hong Taibao said.
Zhao Yingquan stopped his chopsticks and said, "I always feel that something is wrong with the Longhu Gang, but the government officials don't have enough manpower to investigate thoroughly."
"Have you found anything at Hongmen?"
Hong Taibao smiled slightly and said, "Does Master Dianshi think too highly of that Li Changan?"
"Even if he is the academy's magic instructor, you won't think so highly of him, right?"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Zhao Yingquan's eyes, "Li Changan is now a popular figure in the academy. Although he cannot influence the government, the academy is his backer and not just anyone can touch him."
"If the Longhu Gang has a relationship with Li Changan, the Longhu Gang will not be so easy to deal with."
Taibao Hong continued to pour wine for Zhao Yingquan, "As long as the people from the Black Mountain Gang attack the sisters, we will see if the Longhu Gang will react."
Zhao Yingquan looked at Hong Taibao, "This matter must be kept secret. If it is discovered, there will be trouble."
Hong Taibao patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Dianshi, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully for you."
The two continued to drink and eat.
But he didn't notice a waiter carrying a tray quietly passing by outside the door...
