A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 65: Whale Tiger Gang

Kong Bin waited in the front yard until dusk, but Xiao Zongting did not come back.

Zhu Xiaoqi was busy with his work and ignored him.

Kong Bin stood alone in the front yard for most of the day, already very hungry, with his back pressed against his chest, watching the sunset shining through the building.

Kong Bin walked over with a grim look on his face, and said to Zhu Xiaoqi, who was watering the fruits in the vegetable patch by the wall, "Xiaoqi, please tell Mr. Xiao that I was here!"

Zhu Xiaoqi just hummed in his nose without even raising his eyelids.

Kong Bin's face was as cold as stone, and he turned and left the yard.

Xiao Zongting made an appointment with him, but he stood him up.

Xiao Baiqiao made a sachet for Duan Rong, but he was scolded just because he asked about it.

They were all apprentice escorts, but one side seemed to be the center of attention, while he himself became the hated one.

Only those who are in the game can understand the feeling.

Although Kong Bin was resolute, he walked out of Xiao Zongting's courtyard, his eyes gradually became depressed, and a trace of self-pity rose in his heart...

Although it was lunchtime in the canteen of the central courtyard, and Kong Bin was hungry, he was determined to do what he wanted and skipped dinner. He went straight to the charcoal pile in the front yard and started to work.

Kong Bin had just stood there for a while when he heard a voice calling him.

"Brother Bin!"

Kong Bin did not disperse his energy, he just opened his eyes and glanced at it.

I saw a familiar blurry figure in the twilight.

It was Zhang Zheng who came to see him.

"What's the matter?" Kong Bin was in a bad mood and his tone was a bit unfriendly.

Kong Bin often came to the front yard to practice martial arts, and ran into Zhang Zheng several times.

Zhang Zheng naturally had something to do at this time, so he came here to find him.

Zhang Zheng noticed that there was some hidden anger in Kong Bin's tone, but he was also very clear that it was not directed at him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Bin, Wu Hui came to the front yard to see me this morning."

"Wu Hui?"

"Yeah." Zhang Zheng nodded, paused, and then continued: "It is said that Zhou Shoushan wants to treat you to a meal!"

Kong Bin's eyelids twitched, he exhaled to disperse his energy, and straightened up.

This Zhou Shoushan is the leader of the Whale Tiger Gang and has some background.

Although Xiangu County is small, it has two gangs, the Whale Tiger Gang and the Bitter Fate Gang.

These two gangs move between various major forces, acting as the white gloves of the major forces and doing some shameful and dirty deeds.

In Kyushu, gangs have always been the lowest level of power in the social structure.

On the one hand, this world values martial arts, and almost every major force has a high military strength. It is normal to pay money to support or even cultivate martial arts masters yourself.

More importantly, the sects in each state basically suppress the gangs and prevent them from developing. The reason is very simple: gangs do not pay taxes!
Taking Xiangu County as an example, all major forces have to pay a considerable amount of taxes to Taiyi Sect every year.

This is not only the source of Taiyi Sect’s finances, but also a means for Taiyi Sect to control and monitor various major forces through its huge and tight network!

The sect will never allow gangs, which are outside the supervision, to grow and become stronger!
The so-called hero breaks the law with force!

We can turn a blind eye to the scattered soldiers and guerrillas, but if we want to become bigger and stronger, we must destroy them!

As for ordinary people, if they have a way out in society, they will not join a gang. The leader of the Whale Tiger Gang, Zhou Shoushan, was originally convicted of a crime and spent several years in prison. After he was released, he could not find a way out in society, so he founded the Whale Tiger Gang when he was in poverty!
This was because Zhou Shoushan had reached the second level of the Inner Breath Realm, and he knew quite a few people in the market.

The Whale Tiger Gang gradually grew stronger and became one of the two major gangs in Xiangu County, even suppressing the Bitter Fate Gang.

The father of Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng was originally a member of the Whale Tiger Gang, and became a core member.

Kong Bin's father had an arranged marriage with Zhou Shoushan, but the matter came to nothing after the death of Kong Bin's father.

In fact, it was just a few years ago!
Shen Yanliu came to Xiangu County and became the county magistrate of Xiangu County!
The first thing Shen Yanliu did was to suppress gang forces!
The Whale Tiger Gang is the first to bear the brunt!

Shen Yanliu personally took charge and handled three major cases in a row, all of which were related to the Whale Tiger Gang!
Shen Yanliu is also very ruthless! She would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go!
Caught a batch!
A batch of people were locked up!
Killed a bunch of them!
After these three cases, not only did the Whale Tiger Gang suffer a setback, but even all the major forces in Xiangu County were suddenly silent!
The Whale Tiger Gang is really unlucky. The three things Shen Yanliu did as a new official all burned on the Whale Tiger Gang!

Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng's father, as core members of the Whale Tiger Gang, were killed in this wave of purge.

Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng lost their support, and a few years later they had no choice but to join the Yuanshun Escort Agency and become menial apprentices!
The leader of the Whale Tiger Gang, Zhou Shoushan, and the military advisor, Wu Hui, were not directly involved in the three major cases!

They spent all their money and tried various means to finally save their lives.

But since then, it has been dormant and has not appeared on the market for a long time.

"Did he say anything?" Kong Bin asked with his eyes flashing.

"Yes, I heard that you were selected as an apprentice escort master of Yuanshun Escort Agency. I wanted to congratulate you and catch up with you!"

Kong Bin pondered after hearing this.

According to his original idea, he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Shoushan and others anymore.

When the accident happened that year, Zhou Shoushan and Wu Hui pushed Kong Bin and Zhang Zheng's father to the front and used him as a shield!
It can be said that he would stab his brothers in the back for no reason, and would stab his brothers in the back when something goes wrong!

Moreover, Kong Bin also knew that all major forces basically no longer paid attention to Zhou Shoushan. He was now like a stray dog in Xiangu County!

However, some recent events have given Kong Bin some ideas.

Now, thanks to this opportunity with Zhou Shoushan, Kong Bin suddenly discovered that some of those ideas that were originally unrelated were slowly connected together to form a fairly clear chain of strategies.

"Brother Bin, are you going?" Seeing Kong Bin was silent for a long time and his expression changing from gloomy to bright, Zhang Zheng finally couldn't help but asked.

"Go!" Kong Bin's eyes fixed and he said decisively.

"where?"

"Yes, three days later, at Yanzi Tower!"

Kong Bin was slightly stunned when he heard the word Swallow Tower.

Yanzilou is a very famous restaurant in the south of Xian Ancient City!
Back then, the Whale Tiger Gang was entrenched in South City, and the Swallow Tower was a restaurant where they often gathered.

Kong Bin had been there several times with his father, and now when he heard the name again, some past events suddenly came to his mind...

Duan Rong came back from closing his stall on West Street. There were only five people painting today.

Moreover, among these five people, two are former old customers who repurchased their products for the second time!

There were two plump girls with faces as bright as full moons. This time they made many strange requests. One asked to be painted dancing, and the other was even stranger. She asked to be painted in the same picture with her naughty dog...

In short, Duan Rong took a lot of effort to get rid of these two troublesome guys.

"It seems that this wave of traffic is about to end..."

Duan Rong is already considering setting up his stall once every three days.

But I estimate that even if the stall is opened every three days, the business will at best only be lukewarm and last for a short period of time.
