Master of Fist

Chapter 40: Cangzhou Prefecture

A ray of golden morning sun fell on the tallest tower in Cangzhou Mansion.

Cangzhou Mansion is a large city located in the central and western part of Dayan, with a population of over one million, which belongs to the densely populated area second only to the large city in the Central Plains.

There is a big river running from west to east in Cangzhou Prefecture, named Canglang River!

And Cangzhou Mansion is located on the route of this big river. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, it was the capital of the former dynasty, and it has the reputation of "Little Jiangnan in the Midwest". Prosperity, here is naturally not comparable to Bazhou Prefecture, Haizhou Prefecture, Jingshi and other big cities in the Central Plains or along the coast.

However, it was raining heavily at this time, and the whole city was covered in a mist, which was faintly visible, adding a bit of mystery.

In such a torrential rain, some lampposts in the city still flicker faintly, sparsely, and only when the lightning occasionally flashes, can the city's buildings overlap and spread out in the field of vision.

The sudden heavy rain caught the people living in the city by surprise in the afternoon, and at this time, there were still figures running around in the heavy rain near the wharf of Cangzhou Mansion. In fact, the real chaotic situation ended in the heavy rain in the evening. At that time, many ships docked, rushed to load and unload goods, and fixed the ships. At this time, they were still busy in the heavy rain. The merchants who couldn't bear the loss spent a lot of money to hire boatmen who were not afraid of death, and carried the goods here in the rain.

The city gate is about to close, and many merchants from the Chamber of Commerce are rushing into the city to catch up with the city gate before it closes.

In the sound of the wind and rain, these people were like ants, being blown to and fro by the wind, shouting loudly. There was light from the torch in the carriage, and the houses in the city not far away were also lit up. At this time, many merchants were hurrying up, trying to move some things on the carriage into the room.

However, many men in coir raincoats ran out from those eaves at this time, and these men shouted and began to help these merchants carry goods.

These people are not helpers of these merchants, but members of the Canglang Gang!

Generally speaking, merchants traveling to and from Cangzhou Mansion have to go to Canglangbang to pay a visit to the wharf, and then hand in some filial money before they can be used in the city, otherwise it will be difficult to move a single step in this city.

Naturally, it can be named after the Canglang River. Naturally, no gang can do this. Otherwise, the name of this gang that seems to occupy a river could easily cause the crowd to attack.

A hundred years ago, the Canglang Gang was not called by this name, but the Zongjiang Gang, just because of the strong rise of the Zongjiang Gang a hundred years ago. At that time, the leader of the Zongjiang Gang was even more powerful than the third rank. He gained a great reputation in Cangzhou Mansion for a while, especially in water transportation, so he changed the name of the gang to Canglang. For a while, the scenery was incomparable.

However, since the head of the Canglang Gang of that generation passed away at an old age twenty years ago, the Canglang Gang has fallen into a situation of neglect, and now the Jianghu in Cangzhou Prefecture has gradually become a little restless.

Especially recently, there are more and more gangs who are dissatisfied with the fact that the Canglang Gang is the leader of the Jianghu in Cangzhou Prefecture. Especially in Cangzhou Prefecture, which is close to the Central Plains and is so prosperous, there are many gangs of masters in the rivers and lakes. Since the death of the old leader of the Canglang Gang, it has naturally attracted the attention of many people.

However, these Canglang Gang can only bear it silently, even if they want to escape, it is impossible. Now the entire Canglang Gang has been roasted on the grill by the entire Jianghu forces in Cangzhou Prefecture.

The main reason is that the Canglang Gang still occupies a dominant position in the Jianghu of Cangzhou Prefecture, but at this time the Canglang Gang is not as prestigious as before, and it is only maintaining the surface at the moment.

The power in the Jianghu of Cangzhou Mansion is almost in a state of undercurrent and turbulence.

.....

At this time, a team of more than ten carriages was slowly approaching from outside the city.

It was the Jiang family convoy that arrived after three days and three nights from Hengjiang City.

Because it was really hasty, so I didn't bring much belongings, I just brought some land deeds and belongings, and then sent away those servants and maidservants who didn't want to follow, and came directly to Fucheng.

Even so, there were as many as ten carriages, and there were more than twenty **** men and masters on fast horses following them.

In the carriage were not only the Jiang family's family members and belongings, but also many guardsmen. There were more than fifty people scattered here and there.

At a glance, the Jiang family's convoy was the most spectacular, causing the soldiers guarding the city to tighten their weapons.

Jiang Heng sat in the front carriage, and when he entered the city, the speed of the carriage slowed down.

"Third Uncle, why are gang forces so rampant in Fucheng?"

Jiang Heng frowned as he watched a group of men in coir raincoats and holding weapons blocking the way from time to time.

At this time, many people were sitting in the carriage, including Jiang Sanhai and several masters from the bodyguard bureau.

"Sigh~www.NovelMTL.com~Second young master doesn't know about this. Ten years ago, you only need to pay the toll once to enter the city. But it's not the case now, the world has changed!"

The one who spoke was another master in the Escort, surnamed Liu, Liu Sandao, as his name suggests, he is an expert at playing with knives.

"Oh, Master Liu, I don't know much about the Jianghu forces in Cangzhou Mansion. You know a lot, why don't you tell me?"

Hearing this, Jiang Heng suddenly became interested. Since he will develop in Fucheng, he naturally needs to know more about the situation in Fucheng, otherwise he will not know how to die.

After all, this place is no smaller than Hengjiang City.

Liu Sandao nodded, touched the knife in his arms all the time and said with a smile:

"If you want to say that the Jianghu forces in Cangzhou Prefecture have one division, one gang, three sects and twelve halls! What is a division, that is, the imperial court's Zhenfu Division, the government forces in charge of the Yanjiang and Lake forces, generally in each state capital? With establishment, its strength should not be underestimated.

And this gang refers to the Canglang Gang! "

"Canglang Gang?" Jiang Heng pondered over the name carefully, "Is there something special about being able to line up with the government forces?"

"good!"

Liu Sandao nodded, "This Canglang Gang is a big gang that dominated the entire Cangzhou Prefecture and even radiated several surrounding state capitals decades ago. It almost spans the entire Canglang River. Obey the orders of the Canglang Gang.

It is said that the last head of the Canglang Gang decades ago was a tycoon of the third rank, with unfathomable strength. At that time, even the Fusi of Cangzhou Town had to rely on him! However, due to the death of the previous leader of the Canglang Gang 20 years ago, the current Canglang Gang's power has shrunk severely, gradually unable to suppress other forces in the Canglang River, and even the local forces in Cangzhou Prefecture. Twelve halls! "
