"Big Sword Gang?" Li Canghai frowned slightly.
"Yes." The guard analyzed. "Zhou Xiongtu recently invited several good men from Fucheng. He just robbed the warehouse of the Blood Wolf Gang in the south of the city a few days ago. The two families were at odds with each other. Ding Wanshan had just killed several good men in the gang. Zhou Xiongtu took advantage of the situation and took over the Blood Wolf Gang's main hall overnight and annexed its territory. This makes perfect sense."
Li Canghai was silent for a moment.
"Zhou Xiongtu..."
His eyes looked thoughtful.
"But if Zhou Xiongtu had this ability, why didn't he take action earlier? The few people he invited were only in the middle and late stages of An Jin. How could they have the strength to kill Ding Wanshan and Chai Wenyuan at the same time? What's more, Ding Wanshan's iron arm skills may not be his opponent at the peak of An Jin, unless..."
Li Canghai's eyes suddenly condensed.
"Unless, among the few people Zhou Xiongtu invited, there are Transforming Force masters."
The guard was shocked when he heard this. "The master of the house means..."
"The Dadao Gang has been dancing too much lately."
Li Canghai stood up slowly, his face uncertain.
"Robbing warehouses, seizing territory, and now taking over the Blood Wolf Gang's headquarters overnight. If he doesn't have the support of Transforming Force masters, where does Zhou Xiongtu have the courage?"
He paused and his tone became colder. "Also, about the mineral vein, Lin Lineage leaked the news for no reason. I always feel that something is fishy."
"Master, what should we do?"
The guard felt his heart tremble and asked.
Li Canghai pondered for a moment and then ordered, "Let's put the matter of the Blood Wolf Gang aside for now."
"Whether it is Zhou Xiongtu or Transforming Force master, as long as it has nothing to do with our Li family, let him go for now."
After giving the instructions, Li Canghai asked again, "What did Qingyang Prefecture say? Have those three people agreed to my solicitation from the Li family?"
The guard replied, "The matter has been completed. The three people have accepted our conditions and will arrive at Qingshan County soon."
Li Canghai nodded. "That's good. If we hadn't prepared poorly last time, we wouldn't have been able to get the mineral vein back. With the help of these three people this time, as long as the opportunity comes, we can get the mineral vein back in one fell swoop."
He turned around and changed the topic. "The main hall of the Blood Wolf Gang was detained and Ding Wanshan died. This is a big news in Qingshan County that can shock all parties. In the next few days, everyone's attention will be attracted. The Yamen will investigate, various forces will wait and see, and there will be people fighting for the territory of the Blood Wolf Gang."
Speaking of this, he sneered, "This is the best time for my Li family to take action."
The guard's eyes moved slightly. "What do you mean, the master of the house, to take advantage of the chaos?"
"That's right." Li Canghai nodded and flicked the table with his finger. "Go and send a message to Lin Zhengtang."
"Master, although Lin Zhengtang is greedy for money and interests, he is not very courageous."
The guard hesitated and said,
"After the last mine incident, he tried to evade it several times, saying that Lin Dingyuan had become suspicious of him and did not dare to interact with us anymore."
"It is precisely because he is not brave that he can be used by us."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Canghai's mouth,
"If he is a smart man, he should understand that since Lin Dingyuan has become suspicious, he has no choice now. Either continue to work for my Li family and get a share of the pie afterwards, or wait for Lin Dingyuan to find out the truth and be kicked out. He has only these two options."
"What's more..." Li Canghai took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the table, "Tell him that after the matter is completed, I, Li Canghai, will ensure that he becomes the head of the Lin Lineage family and give him 10% of the profit from the mine. Let him think about it for himself."
The guard understood. "I'll do it now."
After he left, Li Canghai was the only one left in the study.
He picked up the tea cup and drank the already cool tea in one gulp.
"Lin Dingyuan, you are indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, you can't be more powerful than your brother's greed."
Li Canghai's mouth revealed a hint of sarcasm.
He already knew what kind of person Lin Zhengtang was. When Mr. Lin Lineage was still alive, Lin Zhengtang was punished for misappropriating the family's silver. Later, Lin Dingyuan became the head of the family. Out of brotherly love, he did not kick him out of the business, but allowed him to continue to manage the Lineage business.
But instead of being grateful, Lin Zhengtang felt that his brother was blocking his way.
A year ago, Li Canghai accidentally learned that Lin Zhengtang owed a bad debt at Fucheng Casino, so he asked someone to fill the hole for him privately. Since then, Lin Zhengtang has become a nail in the Li family's internal Lin Lineage.
Now, it is time for this nail to play its final role.
Li Canghai retracted his hand and stood with his hands behind his back, the coldness at the corner of his mouth getting deeper and deeper.
After practicing all night, Jiang Fa was about to go out to find some food. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Feng walking quickly from the corner of the courtyard wall.
The two of them bumped into each other at the door.
"Junior Brother Jiang, are you okay?"
Lin Feng looked him up and down and saw that his clothes were neat and tidy, his face was rosy, and he was even more energetic than yesterday, and he finally let go of his hanging heart.
"It's okay, senior brother, why are you here so early?"
"Is it still early?"
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked with a complicated look, "Junior brother Jiang, last night... what happened to the Blood Wolf Gang, was it really you who did it alone?"
Jiang Fa stepped aside to open the door. "Come in and talk."
The two sat down on the bench.
Lin Feng was silent for a while before speaking, "Junior Brother Jiang, tell me the truth. Did you kill the Blood Wolf Gang Headquarters alone?"
Jiang Fa looked at him and did not deny. "Yes."
Although Lin Feng had already guessed the answer, he still couldn't help but take a breath when he heard Jiang Fa admit it.
He originally thought that the most Jiang Fa could do last night was to explore the road and get a feel for it, or simply turn back halfway and wait until he found an opportunity to make plans.
Who would have thought that he would take over the main hall in one go?
Overnight.
The notorious Blood Wolf Gang, which has occupied Qingshan County for more than ten years, has completely wiped out the entire main hall, leaving no one alive.
Not to mention martial artists of the same age, even the veteran An Jin masters like Qingshan County who have been immersed in martial arts for decades, no one can achieve such thunderous methods.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head upon hearing this, completely recognizing the terror of the junior brother in front of him.
"Junior brother, do you know what happened last night? Now the whole city is shaken by it."
He suppressed the emotion in his heart and his expression gradually became solemn. "The news of the Blood Wolf Gang's destruction overnight spread throughout Qingshan County before dawn. People from the Yamen have rushed to the main hall. All major forces have also received the news. Now the whole city is talking about it."
"Most people speculate that it was Zhou Xiongtu of the Broadsword Gang. After all, there has been a fierce turf war between the two gangs recently. Zhou Xiongtu invited experts from Fucheng. Everyone believed that he took the opportunity to annex the Blood Wolf Gang."
Jiang Fa was a little surprised. "Is there such a thing?"
"It doesn't matter what outsiders speculate. The Dadao Gang just happened to be at the forefront of the storm and took the blame for you, junior brother."
Jiang Fa couldn't help but smile, "It's a good relationship. It seems I have to thank Gang Leader Zhou."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, and suddenly the conversation changed. "Junior brother, we already have an idea of what the Blood Wolf Gang is targeting you. According to the exact information, the people who secretly dealt with my Li family and bribed the Blood Wolf Gang to assassinate you are the real masterminds behind the scenes. In fact, they are the Li family and Li Canghai!"
Jiang Fa nodded slightly when he heard this, with no surprise on his face. "I already know about this."
