Outside Nanjing, Lu Jian followed the horseshoe prints all the way to a small town called Longtan, which relied on the river, which connected many places, all the way to the east, connected to Yangzhou Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and finally flowed into the sea.

This river can feed many people, many people rely on this place to live, fishing, shipping, transportation, and the daily flow of ships is also endless.

It stands to reason that this Longtan town should be a very prosperous place, and building a wharf here can definitely make this place develop rapidly, but Lu Jian looked at the town in front of him, but it was sparsely populated, and there were many trees around, and there were people standing guard at the entrance of Longtan Town, like guards, and there was a plaque hanging on the doorpost, which said the word Wubang.

"This Nanjing's official government, sure enough, has collusion with the Wu Gang, and the officials protect each other, it is really an iron bucket, and the loss is His Royal Highness, if others want to open a gap in this iron pass, it will never be possible.

Lu Jian sighed secretly in his heart, it turned out that this Longtan Town did not have a wharf, but was occupied by the Wu Gang as its own, turned into a base, and specially transported by water for their smuggling industry, through this river, you can pass through Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, you can also go to sea, there are many places to pass in the west, and even to Jiangxi, Huguang is possible.

"That small bamboo forest in front!" Suddenly

, hundreds of people poured out of the Wu Gang, all running in the same direction, all holding weapons in their hands, looking like they were going to fight.

Lu Jian hurriedly lay down and hid in the grass, and at the end of the team, the officer and soldier who had been seized from the previous department also rode away quickly.

After the crowd gradually moved away, Lu Jian stood up and followed, and after a while, he followed him to the outside of the small bamboo forest, and saw two groups of people in a dense group, faking to fight.

Although it seems to be a real fight, Lu Jian can see at a glance that the two sides are faking a fight, the weapons of both sides are drawn, and they are waved quickly, and the sound of weapons colliding is also very loud, but ...... I just can't hit anyone.

"Lord Qianhu, this Yang Huairen is fighting with the Wu Gang with a private person.

Lu Jian made peace with his subordinates, and as soon as the Jinyi guard stepped forward and whispered, this kind of fake fight seems to be very intense, but it is still quite easy for the Jinyi guard who has really experienced life and death to see through.

But it's one thing to see it, and it's another thing whether it can be used as evidence, after all, others are really fighting, and they are really cracking down on smuggling gangs, as for the extermination of those who can't be suppressed, it's a matter of ability, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness will at most treat Yang Huairen for the crime of ineffective suppression of thieves.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Jian followed the officer and soldier who went to report the news, it would be true, but Lu Jian saw with his own eyes that the two groups were colluding, so it was a different matter, and he could treat these people as he wanted.

"Lord Qianhu, why are you here?" At

this moment, a few people appeared in the grass not far from Lu Jian, and when he turned his head to see that it was Xiao Yong, he said: "I didn't expect that the smuggling salt dealer that Yang Huairen wanted to suppress was this martial gang."

"What's the situation, why did the Wu Gang fight with the officials?" Li

Siyi, who was forced to follow over, was fighting in the small bamboo forest in front of him, and he was also taken aback, and after looking at the number of people here in Lu Jian, he found that there were only five people, and Xiao Yong's five Jinyi guards added up to only ten people, how could this possibly make the Wu Gang.

Thinking about it, Li Si wanted to slip away, so he said: "A few adults, this martial arts gang has also been found, and the little one will leave, right?"

"Don't worry, I will need you to recognize people later."

Just when Li Si turned around to leave, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and when he looked back, he found that a palm was pressed on his shoulder.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Who do you recognize?"

"The person who accepts money from the four gangs of you, although he is not the main master, should also be the person next to the main master."

Lu Jian said.

Li Si didn't answer with a wry smile on his face, but in his heart, he greeted these Jinyi guards thousands of times, don't pull him if you want to die, okay, promise to be Jinyiwei's internal response, he has already drawn the account book map of the Bamboo Gang, and now he has taken these people to find the location of the Wu Gang, although these people have found it in advance, but he thinks that what he should do has been almost done.

Although he didn't know who the main masters behind the four major gangs were, he raised so many people and was not afraid of rebellion, where is a simple person, at least a nobleman who has real power in Nanjing City and can mobilize thousands of officers and soldiers.

With the Jinyi Guard, it is not enough to see at all, so it is not too simple to extinguish the mouth.

To tell the truth, it is indeed possible to exterminate the Bamboo Gang in Yangzhou, with two or three hundred brocade guards, but if you want to go deep into Nanjing, destroy the Wu Gang, and even find out the main person behind the scenes, it will be a bit of a taste of death.

Do things in front of people's homes, and people will deploy troops to kill you every minute.

And not far behind them, Qingzhu also followed, and when she saw Li Si and a few people converging with another group of Jinyiwei, she was even more strange, this is the territory of the Wu Gang, what are Li Si and this group of Jinyiwei doing here.

Moreover, the people of the martial arts gang in the small bamboo forest in front of her fought with a group of officials, but she could see that it was a fake fight, and there were no dead people for half a day, and both sides were wielding knives in cooperation.

"Could it be that the Jinyi guards from the capital are investigating the Wu Gang

?" "What happened to Li Si?"

Qingzhu didn't understand.

Farther behind, Chu Jian was galloping with three thousand cavalry, each with a saber at his waist, a spear in his right hand, a reins in his left hand, black armor, a black helmet, a red helmet, and a black mask, revealing his eyes and nose to breathe.

This is the elite of 3,000 cavalry specially equipped by Gao Yi for Dong Qi, and the tax army will have to collect taxes and escort tax money in various places in the future, and it is inevitable that they will encounter thieves and bandits, so the 10,000 people of the tax army are all elites, especially this cavalry battalion of 3,000 people, which is the elite of the elite.

This set of equipment spent a lot of money to build, a full 50,000 sets, with this set of equipment, rushing over, will give the enemy a great sense of oppression, and a sense of mystery, this is one, two, wearing a mask can also be a good way to cover the timid heart of soldiers.

"Lord Qianhu, my friend who is following this guy behind me, do you want to go over and deal with it?"

Xiao Yong glanced at the back, then pointed to Li Si beside him, and asked for Lu Jian's opinion, followed by people, he had already found out, but he didn't want to waste time before, he didn't want to pay attention to the other party, and he also felt that the people who followed were very high, much higher than themselves, and the five of them might not be able to capture or take each other's lives.

But Lu Jian is here, so he will definitely be able to capture him.

"Don't, he's the leader of the Bamboo Gang, your young man promised to let us go.

When Li Si heard this, he was immediately startled, his feelings for Qingzhu were not only childhood sweethearts, but also love in them, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to Qingzhu.

"Is there such a thing?"

Lu Jian naturally knew who the young man the other party was talking about, naturally it was His Royal Highness the Prince, although he had been leading the team in Nanjing, and he didn't know what was going on in Yangzhou, but only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could agree to this person's conditions, and when he entered Nanjing City, someone in Jinyiwei followed Li Si and the other three, and naturally knew that this Li Si was the internal response.

"In that case, let's leave this person alone.

Lu Jian stared at the small bamboo forest in front of him, it doesn't matter if he is followed, one more person or one less person can't change anything, the ten of them come out to see what the situation is, at most, this person just sees them peeking at others, it's not a big deal.

"Lord Yang, after fighting for so long, it should be almost, right?"

The captain of the anti-private group came to Yang Huairen's side, and as he spoke, he looked around, wanting to see if anyone was secretly watching in the distance, but there were also dense woods all around, flowers and plants, and he couldn't see it for a while.

"It's almost, let's get hurt a little, and give the official a knife.

Yang Huairen also looked around, although he didn't find anyone, but there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and he hadn't seen this feeling for a long time.

Therefore, he felt that he had to hang some colors, so that he could explain some, otherwise he didn't catch one, and he didn't hang the colors, so why did he say that he went to suppress the smuggling salt dealers.

"Ah, give you a knife, isn't this okay?"

When the captain heard this, he immediately looked at Yang Huairen with a little embarrassment, although this was requested by the other party himself, but if Yang Huairen wanted to hold a grudge, then he would not be finished.

"Don't talk about the official, even you have to stab yourself.

Yang Huairen pointed to his arm and said, "Come, make a knife, but don't be too heavy, just the flesh wound."

Seeing that the other party didn't understand, he explained: "You said, we didn't bring anything back, will Your Highness be suspicious, and we are unscathed, will Your Highness believe that we are really going to kill thieves?"

The

captain finally understood Yang Huairen's intentions, and sighed in his heart, these scholars are despicable and insidious, and they have many ghosts to die.

Thinking about it, he slashed Yang Huairen's arm, then stabbed his own arm, and then ran to the crowd and ordered to go down.

Immediately afterwards, with the cooperation of the armed gang, the officers and men of the anti-private sector all stabbed their bodies, and all of a stab, all 500 of them were wounded.

"Don't stop the bleeding, just let the blood flow, it's so obvious!" Yang

Huairen saw that everyone was ready to stop the bleeding and bandage, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "In this way, the official can help everyone ask for more soup and medicine!"

This Yang Huairen is so cunning, he is simply a despicable villain, the captain of the private department looked at Yang Huairen from the side, he really took this person, it was all flesh wounds, no need to take any medicine at all, and the scab will be cured in a few days, but it is not only blood, it is not bandaged, so it looks miserable, and it is good to fool the above to take money.

"Hahahaha, that's a good feeling. The

crowd burst into laughter.

"This Yang Huairen is really despicable. "

Even the people of the Wu Gang feel the same way.

Suddenly, a sound like an earthquake came into everyone's ears, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the source ......of the sound.

Not far away, I saw that a group of dense black dots were moving rapidly towards this side.
