"The real person is also here to investigate the murderer of the gang leader?"

Puji Zhenren's face was a little pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and he looked older than Zongxing Daochang.

"Poor Dao and Fang Gang Leader only have a few faces, but the Lake God View is also favored by the Cao Gang, this time Fang Gang Leader's matter, Poor Dao is duty-bound. Puji replied calmly.

Liu Han smiled in his heart, and was about to speak, Zong Xing said: "Everyone Liu said that he only arrived in Yangzhou more than ten days ago, as far as Poor Dao knows, this statement is not true, everyone Liu arrived in Yangzhou a few months ago, although the Sanyou Salt was established not long ago, but everyone Liu bought hundreds of cotton cloths in Gujia Cloth Village a few months ago, I don't know if this is the case?"

Hearing this, Liu Han had no choice but to smile bitterly in his heart, the head snake was the head snake at the bottom, and was about to answer, when another figure appeared in the plum blossoms, Liu Han frowned slightly, the person who came was a young man in a strong suit, this young man was handsome and heroic.

"I heard that Brother Wang invited the shopkeeper of Hanhai Trading Company here, and the younger brother took the liberty to disturb it, please forgive me. The young man clenched his fists and said loudly.

Liu Han sneered in his heart, this is the main master today, Daoist Zongxing and Puji Zhenren have already stood up, he has no choice but to stand up.

"There, there, Fang Gang Master, please take a seat. Wang Ze smiled, turned his head to Liu Han and said, "Everyone, let me introduce, this is the leader of the Cao Gang Fang Jie, the leader of the Fang Gang, this Liu family of the Hanhai Trading Company." ”

Fang Jie's expression did not move, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Liu Han and hugged his fists: "Shopkeeper Liu, Fang Jie has always wanted to visit Shopkeeper Liu, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity, and today Fang achieved his wish." ”

"It seems that Liu and Fang Gang Leader have a heart-to-heart relationship, and they have long wanted to visit Fang Gang Leader. Liu Han didn't panic at all, his expression was very calm, but his heart was already full of vigilance, Daoist Zongxing and Puji Zhenren should be above the grandmaster, Fang Jie is a top-grade martial artist, plus Wang Ze, an immortal cultivator, this lineup is only stronger than last time.

But for him, there is also a favorable point, this is the plum garden, not the imperial capital, not even in Yangzhou City, he can play unscrupulously.

A few people sat down again, Wang Ze poured wine for everyone, Liu Han raised his glass to Fang Jie without hesitation and said, "Gang Master Fang, no matter what happens today, let's drink first." ”

"Good. Fang Jie simply raised his glass in response, Wang Ze looked at the two of them with a smile, and after the two of them had drunk, he added it to them.

"This hundred acres of plum blossoms, has a history of 1,000 years, Brother Liu, the poem is famous all over the world, in the face of such a beautiful scenery, I don't know if I can write a poem, for today's meeting, add a good story. Wang Ze said with a smile.

Liu Han smiled slightly: "With Brother Wang here, how dare you be beautiful in the future." ”

Wang Ze shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "On the familiarity of the Taoist classics, I think I don't lose to Brother Liu, but when I talk about poetry, I bow down to the wind in Xia." ”

"Brother Wang, poetry is a small way, cultivating the body and mind, and governing the world is not helpful, the Taoist is the avenue, exploring the mystery of all things, the upper can help the king, and the lower can govern the people. "Liu Han is righteous, in this era, the world is governed by Taoist classics, not Confucianism, as for who wrote the Taoist classics, no one knows, but in Liu Han's opinion, many of these words are in the books of the previous life.

"I don't dare to refute this, this is the right reason," Wang Ze nodded and looked at Liu Han with appreciation: "Poetry is the voice of the heart, but unfortunately, the world has forgotten that people can tell lies." ”

"That's too right," Liu Han interjected: "Poetry and poetry are just reactions to a momentary scene, and have nothing to do with morality, knowledge and morality, and there are too many poets with low moral character in this world." ”

When the two of them talked about poetry, Fang Jie and the three of them didn't interject at all, they sat and drank silently, and the two of them quickly realized this problem, so they stopped talking almost at the same time.

The small pavilion became silent and solemn, and after a few drinks, Fang Jie was still young, first broke the silence, looked at Liu Han and asked: "Shopkeeper Liu, my father was suddenly killed, and you suddenly appeared in Yangzhou, I don't know, why did you come to Yangzhou?"

Liu Han took a shallow sip of wine, looked at him and smiled slightly: "Originally, there was only one thing, but now there are two things." ”

"What other two things do you want to ask?" Fang Jie asked in a deep voice.

Liu Han frowned slightly, Fang Jie looked a little aggressive, which made him a little uncomfortable, and replied with a smile: "Everything must be said to people, since the Fang Gang Master asked, Liu did not hide it, this Yangzhou was originally only for the salt policy innovation, and the imperial court implemented the salt policy innovation in Yangzhou. It happened that the leader of the Fang gang was killed, and he was worried about the movements of the Cao gang, so he stayed in Yangzhou to observe. ”

In the face of Liu Han's frankness, Fang Jie was a little unexpected, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Daoist Zongxing interjected and asked, "I don't know what everyone Liu is worried about?"

"I fought fiercely with Brother Wang's brother in the imperial capital," Liu Han smiled at Wang Ze, who also smiled at him slightly, and then said, "So, I don't want the Cao Gang to go north,"

Speaking of this, he sighed softly: "Fang Gang Master is eloquent, judging the situation, and responding sensitively, which is admirable, alas, at this time, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Fang Jie and Daoist Zongxing exchanged glances, Daoist Zongxing did not speak, but only bowed his head slightly, obviously accepting Liu Han's statement.

Fang Zhen opposed going north now, and in order to stabilize the young Zhuang faction in the gang, he even did not hesitate to attack as the gang leader.

And Liu Han is fighting fiercely with Wang Xu's family, Wang Ze's purpose of going south this time is to hope that the Cao Gang will go north, and Liu Han naturally does not want the Cao Gang to go north in order not to be attacked on both sides.

"So, I also want to know if the Cao Gang will go north?" Liu Han asked with a straight stab, staring at Fang Jie.

Fang Jie hesitated again, Wang Ze also looked at Fang Jie, during this time, he had been waiting, but after Fang Zhen's death, the Cao Gang had huge differences on the future development direction, in fact, the Cao Gang was restricted, limited to the south of Pengcheng, north of Wu County, and developed to the west, and was resisted by the wealthy families of Jingzhou.

When Fang Zhen was alive, the strategy set was to develop westward, but the young Zhuang faction of the Cao Gang strongly demanded to develop northward and enter the north, and the benefits of this move could be seen at a glance.

"Now that Shopkeeper Liu is here, I can tell Shopkeeper Liu that I myself hope to develop northward. Fang Jie said almost word for word.

Liu Han's brows were twisted, and Wang Ze unabashedly showed a hint of joy, and he sighed softly: "I don't know if this is the final decision of the Cao Gang, or ....."

"It was my decision. Fang Jie replied without hesitation, pausing slightly: "However, I don't want to have a conflict with Shopkeeper Liu, the canal and the Yellow River are very large, and they can accommodate both of you, so I hope Shopkeeper Liu can accept it." ”

"What about Cao Yun?" Liu Han asked unequivocally, as soon as the words came out, he knew that he was wrong, and it was impossible for the palace to accept the Cao Gang into the imperial capital.

"Naturally, it's my Cao Gang's business. Fang Jie's tone was very firm, without the slightest ambiguity.

Liu Han sighed again, stopped asking, turned his head to look at the plum blossoms in the garden, and was silent, the atmosphere in the small pavilion became more dignified with Fang Jie's words, and there was more gunpowder smell.

Wang Ze was very smart and didn't speak, just looked at Liu Han and poured wine for the four of them from time to time.

Half-ringing, Liu Han sighed softly: "Since this is the case, the Cao Gang and I will inevitably have a conflict, Fang Gang Master, this decision of yours surprises me very much." ”

"The canal waterway and the Yellow River waterway are originally my Cao Gang," Fang Jie said lightly, this decision is very difficult, during this time, he has been under a lot of pressure, both internal and external, all kinds of opinions, until now, he is still not sure to convince the elders in the gang.

Liu Han got up and bowed his hand to Wang Ze: "Thank you Brother Wang for the invitation, now Mei has been rewarded, and I will say goodbye." ”

"Brother Liu, alas, why bother, Brother Liu can talk to Gang Master Fang again, wouldn't it be better to turn hostility into friendship. Wang Ze's face was full of sincerity.

"The Cao Gang can't help Pengcheng, it's the agreement made by the Fang Gang Leader and us, and now that the Fang Gang Leader's bones are not cold, the Young Gang Leader is going to tear up the agreement, which is really disappointing. Liu Han replied regretfully, he didn't give in to this.

"Brother Liu," Wang Ze persuaded again: "Secondly, I have calculated that this matter is not harmless to you, the Hanhai Trading Company will develop in Jiangnan, and if you reach an agreement, the development of your trading company in Jiangnan can be supported by the Cao Gang." ”

Liu Han laughed, this Wang Ze is so powerful, it is obvious that he has not wasted it in the past few days, and has investigated Liu Han.

"Jianghu people, Jianghu affairs, Jianghu affairs, if the Fang Gang mainly attacks my Yangzhou branch of Hanhai Trading Company, then I can only accompany me. ”

After a pause, Liu Han added: "However, my Hanhai Trading Company is not a soft persimmon, and it is not easy to pinch. ”

After saying that, Liu Han turned around to leave, and with a flower in front of him, Daoist Zongxing stopped in front of him.

Liu Han frowned slightly, and didn't look back: "Brother Wang, I came here at your invitation today, what's the matter, Brother Wang set up today... ，”

He almost said the Hongmen Banquet, but unfortunately there is no such allusion in this world, and in a hurry, he changed his words: "Brother Wang, is this what you mean?"

"No, no," Wang Ze shook his head and said, "Daoist Zongxing, what do you mean?"

"You haven't explained the matter of Gang Master Fang yet. Zong Xingdao said with a blank face and a dry face.

"Hmph, there is no excuse for the sin you want to add. Liu Leng smiled, took a deep breath, and his inner breath gushed out from the dantian, and in an instant, his whole body flowed.

Daoist Zongxing didn't seem to notice it, he still stopped in front of Liu Han, a few petals fell with the wind, and slowly fell between the two, suddenly as if frightened, he quickly floated upward, and quickly escaped from this dangerous area.

Liu Han's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he suddenly found that the cultivation of Daoist Zongxing was actually no different from that fisherman, and he definitely reached the middle grade grandmaster.

Damn, why are there so many grandmasters in the world all of a sudden!

The two of them looked at each other quietly, he was surprised by Daoist Zongxing's cultivation, but he didn't know that Daoist Zongxing was even more surprised at him.

Liu Han stood there, facing Zong Xing, with his back to Puji and Fang Zhen, looking like he was under attack, but he observed for a long time, but he didn't find the slightest opportunity to make a move.

Liu Han stood there, with the small pavilion, with the plum tree, with the petals, and the heaven and earth, so that he could not find a chance to make a move.

And Wang Ze was even more shocked!

Although he didn't witness the battle of Liulin, he had heard the fisherman tell it in detail afterwards, and he was confident that he had a certain understanding of Liu Han, so he chose Daoist Zongxing and Puji Zhenren.

Daoist Zongxing is slightly more famous, he is the chief elder of Zaobing Peak, and he is also the third-ranked elder of the Xiaohan Mountain Elder Sect.

Puji Zhenren is an elder of the Immortal Sect, a generation higher than the current Immortal Sect Master, he has never walked on the rivers and lakes, he has devoted himself to cultivation, and he stepped into the middle grade grandmaster before the age of fifty.

With these two people, plus Fang Zhen and himself, Wang Ze has the confidence to trap Liu Han!
