Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The words are divided into two parts.

    After the eldest master picked up Young Master Zhao, Shen Chen¡¯s couple also recruited Captain Liu from the Shachuan Gang in Xisha.

    Only then did Master Liu know that Mrs. Shen had been attacked.  Fifteen people went out, but there were only seven when they came back.

    Of the eight people left, only half brought their bodies back with them, while the other four were buried at the bottom of the river with no bones left.

    Mrs. Shen stopped Captain Liu, who was jumping and shouting in the middle of the night, and asked him to quickly arrange a boat to send her and her party back to the Shachuan Gang's station in Sansha.

    ??~~

    By the time Mrs. Shen and his party returned to Sansha, it was already broad daylight.

    Sansha is the largest piece of land in Chongming after the collapse of Yao Liusha and Dongsha. It stretches 20 miles from east to west, north to south, and is as big as several towns.

    After seeing the tragic situation on the ship, the Shachuan Gang dock suddenly exploded.

    The gang members cheered and gathered around, looking at the corpses of their fellow gang members being carried off the boat, their eyes almost splitting.

    "Who did this? Dare to kill people from our Shachuan Gang!"

    "Whoever dares to touch my wife will be the enemy of our entire Shachuan Gang!"

    "Kill his whole family! Take revenge!"

    Angry shouts resounded on the pier.

    "Silence and give way!" Suddenly I heard a cry, and someone sang in a long voice: "The gang leader is here"

    The gang members calmed down and quickly moved out of the way.

    Under the guidance of a team of samurai carrying swords, eight burly men with bare breasts came to the pier carrying a waistcoat.

    Sitting on the waist is a man in his thirties wearing a brocade robe and a Tang scarf.  His appearance was pretty good, but his fair skin was almost as fair as Mrs. Shen's.  He seemed a bit out of place with the bronze-skinned man on the dock.

    Mrs. Shen and Chen looked calmly at the waistcoat walking towards her, and whispered to the couple behind her who looked angry.

    "Remember what I said, don't reveal your secrets."

    The couple quickly lowered their heads and relaxed their tense faces.

    Fortunately, the white-faced gang leader didn¡¯t pay attention to either of them at all. Both of his eyes were focused on Shen Chen, who was as beautiful and strong as a white chrysanthemum.

    "Oh, brothers and sisters, what happened?"

    The gang leader ordered someone to get off the sedan quickly, stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Shen and said, "You are not injured, are you? Are you frightened?"

    "The gang leader was worried. He encountered Japanese pirates on the way back. The brothers resisted desperately, but the disparity in strength was too great, and most of them were killed or injured."

    Mrs. Shen said sadly, then returned to her indifference and said, "Thanks to Prince Qian, I'm fine."

    "As long as it's okay, that's okay." The gang leader said with a happy smile, "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it to my eldest brother in Quanxia."

    "Gang leader, you don't have to be like this. People of the Shachuan Gang live in water and die in water. Everything is fate." Mrs. Shen sighed as if she was resigned to her fate, and then said to him Fu Yifu: "I have been out for these days, and I miss my brother Xiao Teng very much.  I¡¯m going to see him first.¡±

    "Xiao Teng is okay, I go to see him every day." The gang leader smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters, please take my sedan home."

    "It doesn't take more than two steps, just walk back." Mrs. Shen thanked Bumin and said to the gang leader Fu Yifu: "Please help the gang leader take care of the funeral affairs of the brothers."

    "There is no shirking the responsibility." The gang leader said seriously.

    "Thank you." Mrs. Shen left the dock with her people in a polite and distant manner.

    The gang leader watched her move away with a smile on his face, and then his eyes gradually darkened.

    Xisha Temple of the Sea.

    Zhao Hao slept until noon when he woke up from hunger.

    The disciples prepared a sumptuous lunch to welcome Master.

    The table is full of fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, duck and fish. Although the appearance is not flattering, the taste is still very good.

    The two asked the maid to deliver a table to the girls in the backyard, then poured freshly squeezed juice for the master and drank it with him.

    When Zhao Hao filled his stomach, Jin Xuezeng couldn't help scratching his head and asked: "Master, my disciple heard on the island that the master built a dike in Kunshan County in January. Is this true?"

    "Of course." Zhao Hao patiently dealt with a swimming crab.  This season the swimming crabs are also at their peak. Compared to the fragrant river crabs, he prefers the delicious swimming crabs with a hint of sea water.

    ¡°Not only was the north embankment of the Wusong River repaired in January, but the long embankments of Yangcheng Lake, Jiepu River, and Yanglintang were also repaired in the second month.¡±

    "It's true" Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shensi looked at each other, and they both saw a look of urgency in each other's eyes.

      The two of them hurriedly presented a piece of peeled crab claw meat and asked flatteringly: "Master, is it not the next step for Jiangnan Company to develop our Chongming?"

    Zhao Hao swallowed a mouth full of white crab claw meat, narrowed his eyes comfortably and said, "That's not easy to say. The shareholders have to study and decide on the company's affairs. I alone have no say."

    "Master" Jin Xuezeng waggled his tail like a dog and begged for mercy: "You old man can't bear to watch your disciples and live in the temple all the time? There were more than 1,400 county magistrates in the Ming Dynasty. Is there anyone as miserable as me?"

    "Yes, Master, until the embankment is built, we won't dare to mention the construction of the Yamen." Yu Shensi also nodded in agreement: "If it collapses again, we can't afford to suffer."

    "Hahaha, don't worry, Sansha won't collapse." But I heard the teacher say calmly.

    Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shensi¡¯s hearts beat rapidly, and they both secretly shouted:

    ¡®It¡¯s coming, it¡¯s coming!  The long-lost great prophecy is here!  With Master¡¯s boundless magical power, Chongming Island finally sees hope!  ¡¯

    "Great Master!" Jin Xue once jumped three feet high, tears: "There is no county in Zhixian County, it is like Liu Ying  Oh no, no, no, no, no, there is no way to develop and grow.  "

    "But why does it have to be Sansha" Yu Shensi said worriedly: "That's the territory of the Shachuan Gang, and we will definitely not be allowed to build the county government there."

    "Oh, the Shachuan Gang is so violent?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

    "Oh, that's not true. Master, please look, this is Chongming Island a hundred years ago." Jin Xuezeng hurriedly cleared a space on the table and put down a map of Chongming from the Chenghua period.

    ??On the map, the Taicang-Shanghai line south of the Yangtze River estuary is fine.  The north bank is connected to the south side, and it looks completely different from that of later generations.  , the entire Qidong does not exist at all, and the distance between the north and south entrances to the sea is more than 120 miles.

    There are more than a hundred large and small sandbars scattered on this vast water area of ??120 miles.  There are three largest among them - Sansha, Yao Liusha and Dongsha.  At that time, 90% of the population in Chongming County lived in these three places.

    Jin Xue once told Zhao Hao on the map that the three major forces in Chongming were originally located in Dongsha, the Chongming County Government was located in Dongsha, the Tianci Saltworks and garrison were located in Yao Liusha, and the Shachuan Gang was located in Sansha.  The water in the three wells does not interfere with the water in the river, and the three pillars stand on each other for a long time.

    But with the collapse of Yao Liusha and Dongsha, the Tianci Salt Fields were withdrawn, the garrison was moved to Jinshanwei, and the county government was also under water. The county magistrate could only move to Xisha to settle down in a corner.

    Only Sansha remained intact.

    ¡° Moreover, the Shachuan Gang is in the shipping business and is not affected by the collapse of the sandbank at all. More and more Chongming people are coming to join them.

    The Shachuan Gang has become the largest force in Chongming.

    At present, they have more than 500 sand ships and more than 3,000 sailors.  The 40,000 to 50,000 people in Sansha are either family members of the Shachuan Gang or rely on the Shachuan Gang to make a living. It is easy to imagine who they regard as the boss.

    ¡°There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so how could the Shachuan Gang agree with the county to have a foot in their territory?

    ps. The fourth update is asking for monthly votes.  I will start sending my children to school tomorrow, so I can¡¯t stay up late. Go to bed. Good night everyone.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
