Chapter 71 Strange Man

Li Chong broke through the second toll station, stood at the bow of his big ship, and was independent in the wind.

The big ship was long and the big ships followed behind also rushed over. Each of them was very happy, celebrating that the voyage saved a lot of money. The impression of Li Shisan had greatly improved. They all began to praise him and began to say good things about him.

The words Li Chong and Zhuo Changhong said before the battle all touched the hearts of these shipmen. The ten major families charge more and more and more and more, and they were becoming more and more arrogant. It would be fine if they had a legitimate reason. However, the canal has been charged for overdue fees for 20 years, and the fees collected in the past 20 years are more and more. It is simply a robbery. In the past, many shipmen joined forces to cause trouble together and asked the ten major families to maintain the river operation chamber and stop charging, but this move received strong suppression from the ten major families, and they were killed and injured.

Countless shipmen had to force them to ask for less fees, but the ten major families used bribery methods to divide and disintegrate these shipmen when they encountered very tough attitudes, so they used kidnapping methods to kidnap the families of these shipmen and threatened the shipmen. In this way, after several conflicts, the ten major families still firmly grasped the canal's charging power. When they saw these shipmen, they had no choice but to resist. Instead, the charges were increasing every year.

At this time, Li Chong dared to fight with the ten major families alone, and expressed their feelings. How could these people not be grateful to Li Chong? Not to mention the things Li Chong did in Yiyang, he really did not bully men and women. Even if there was any, in the face of such a big deal, these boatmen also thought that Li Chong was a big hero, a big hero, and even if he had a bad temper, it was normal.

Besides, Li Chong is the most capable subordinate of Princess Yun Caier. Li Chong despised the ten major families so much and destroyed two toll stations so arrogantly. Was this the princess instructed? These shipmen were all thinking about these things, and several major forces gathered on a large ship and began to discuss.

A big man with bronze skin had a loud voice, like a Hong Zhong, "I see this Li Shisan, a hero. Yesterday he destroyed the first toll station. I also suspected that he was out of selfishness and arrogant temper. He would beat anyone offend him. But what he said today was clearly for the sake of our boat family. In order to reduce the cost of transportation, the people in Yiyang could eat cheap things. This person was definitely not as bad as the rumors outside."

This great man was named Zhang Maoer. He was born in a fisherman for generations. Because he saved a noble man when he was a child, he asked him to practice martial arts with his family in order to repay his kindness. Zhang Maoer was very talented and hardworking, so he became an eight-star warrior. He loved to stand up for his injustice and had a good popularity in the boat family. He would do his best to help anyone in the family. Gradually, he gained prestige at the boat family. Many people admired him and took him as the leader.

A thin scar-faced man dressed in his forties in his forties also said, "Yes, Brother Zhang is right. Li Shisan has had conflicts with the nobles' children several times, and there are cases of hurting and killing people. But I have carefully investigated other bad deeds, but there is really no. He said that he bullied a family selling tofu and forced the whole family to die. I spent a lot of money to send someone to investigate the matter and found that the matter was fabricated. From this, it can be seen that Li Shisan's notoriety in Yiyang was deliberately spread by someone who was interested. For the purpose, I think you can definitely think clearly."

Zhang Maoer clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Scar had a foresight and wanted to deal with this Thirteen Lang?"

Another fat boss wearing purple silk and looking very rich smiled and said, "Ha, Mr. Scar and us have long been interested in this family raiding Li Shisan and have been collecting information about this person. This person has become famous for less than a month, but everything is earth-shaking. If there is a big change in Yiyang in the future, then it will be all about this person. The more we investigate this person, the more we find that this Shisanlang is not simple. Do you know that the Lotus Gang has been subdued. Now we no longer do theft and gambling business."

"Ah? There is such a thing? Are you sure? The boss of the Lotus Gang is Lai Wan'er, the one who is most afraid of death. The scars on his body are more than those on Mr. Scar's face!" Zhang Maoer looked at Mr. Scar and laughed out loud.

Mr. Scar stroked his cheek and smiled bitterly: "Shame, ashamed, my scar is left by a woman. It can't be compared to Brother Lai, but it was made with all his life. Brother Lai has a tough temper and has been hanging around in the world for a long time. I can't see the people he admires."

Zhang Maoer's face suddenly became serious, "It seems that Mr. Scar has also received some news! Boss Liang, don't keep it aside. Tell me quickly who Brother Lai has followed."

Boss Liang touched his fat chin and smiled, "Didn't you mention someone all the time just now? That's him!"

"What? It's Li Shisan"

Zhang Maoer and the others were stunned when they heard this. Boss Liang smiled and said, "That's right. Haha, I'm going to hide it from you. When I heard this news, I was shocked! If Brother Lai hadn't confirmed this in person, I wouldn't have believed it."

Everyone asked Boss Liang one after another and asked him to tell him the details.

Boss Liang then told this in detail, saying that Li Shisan had found Lai Wan'er, drank with him, and bet one thing was to let the brothers of the Lotus Gang make money without stealing or opening a casino. The two parties made a three-day appointment. As a result, Li Shisan took out some secret recipes from his family, such as candied haws, jelly, mung bean cakes, etc., and gave them to the Lotus Gang for free, and let the brothers in the Lotus Gang sell them. As a result, it made a lot of money. Many people in the Lotus Gang rely on this to support their families. Li Shisan gave some family settlement fees. In this way, Lai Wan'er was convinced and defected to Li Shisan's disciple.

Some of the bosses on the boat had never heard of candied haws, jelly, mung bean cakes, etc., some had eaten them, or wives and concubines mentioned them, and they were all surprised, "What? This is the secret recipe of the Li family's ancestors? No wonder it's so delicious. My wife has been muttering in my ears many times. The eight-year-old brat in my family has wanted to eat candied haws all day these days."

These boatmen were all very surprised to hear that the Lotus Gang in Yiyang actually defected to Li Shisan.

Although Li Shisan is a seventh-rank official in the criminal room, Lai Wan'er is not afraid of the top ten nobles. How could he be afraid of the top seven-rank official in the criminal room? If Li Shisan is able to subdue Lai Wan'er, it is absolutely impossible for him to rely on force. People like Lai Wan'er will not bow their heads even if they die, otherwise the Lotus Gang would not have never surrendered to the top ten nobles and have always been a very independent sect.

The Lotus Gang is composed of many poor people, poor people who can't even afford to eat. These people are not afraid of death at all. If anyone dares to bully the Lotus Gang, then the Lotus Gang will have countless dead soldiers and fight for him.
