The sacrificial process in the afternoon was very long. It was not that the Qing Emperor showed up, but mainly because Zhang Baishou was so competitive with the sacrificial meat that he actually divided the pork very meticulously with a small knife.

Older people will get fatter ones, younger people will get thinner ones, families and gangs with more people will get more points, and smaller people will get smaller ones.

There was no surprise. The six most powerful bosses were all given the best sacrificial meat, and they were all placed on porcelain plates with trays under them... As for Huaixing, who is said to have some friendship with Zhang Baishou

Seven or eight well-established gang leaders, including Boss Du from the Gang Du and the clever Black Shark Gang Boss Sha, all have porcelain plates even though they don't have trays.

This is of course an excellent sign, indicating that Zhang Baishou is impartial to the end and recognizes the structure of the six largest families. As for the appearance of Boss Du and Boss Sha, there is nothing to say. Who is not close to each other? In fact, the largest six families

While the gang bosses were eating meat with chopsticks, they were already making final preparations to carry out the final competition, negotiate peace and alliance, and completely win this shady business.

Traveling thousands of miles just for money, not to mention the gangs in this world are temporary systems that gather for economic benefits, rather than things with any self-worth.

Just like that, after struggling for a long time, even Zhang Xing thought it was over today.

But what he didn't expect was that the biggest climax would come after the sacrifice - as soon as the meat-eaters left with their accompanying warriors, thousands of people rushed in just to grab the money used for the morning battle for dragons and beads.

The mound on which the dragon's head is erected is proud of digging a handful of soil.

That scene was truly spectacular...

"Reporting to Zhang Baishou, this is robbing the dragon land."

In the drizzle, when Zhang Xing stopped and turned around, and before he asked, Lingli Gesha understood again. "According to custom, it doesn't matter how much, just grab it, put it in the field or at home, and you can keep your home for a year."

Peace, good harvest and no disasters.”

"Can't get it?" Zhang Xing was curious in the drizzle.

"If you can't grab it, you will naturally be in trouble." Boss Sha laughed dryly. "But how can you not grab something like dirt? You can always take back some of the dregs, more or less..."

"It's just something that fools use to comfort themselves." Gang Leader Fan Shiyong quickly twirled his beard and added, "It's just incense that costs nothing."

"That's right." Zhang Xing looked at it expressionlessly for a moment, and then nodded in reply. "We've eaten all the meat, so what will the people get if they don't take some mud back?"

Among the bosses who were accompanying him, only two or three suddenly changed their expressions. They understood such a naked taunt immediately. The other bosses actually waited for a while before they seemed to wake up.

Immediately, Fan Shiyong responded with a dry smile: "Logically, everyone should share the meat together, but there is only so much meat. If there are so many people sharing it, no matter how to share it neatly, the soup will not be drunk evenly."

"I didn't say I wanted to divide the meat. Why are you so anxious?" Zhang Xing's face remained calm, but his tone was obviously impatient. "There are ten thousand households in this town. How about ten thousand steamed buns or ten thousand bowls of rice?"

How much does it cost? Put a red dot on the steamed bun, put a few dates in the rice, take one bite, and you will be safe for a whole year. We eat meat, and they eat steamed bun, which is better than us eating meat. Let them dig mud and look decent... The imperial court uses servants to celebrate the New Year.

There’s also a piece of fried sugar cake.”

Fan Shiyong's face turned pale and he could only nod his head.

"Zhang Baishou... This custom is related to spring plowing. The grabbing of soil has been around since the beginning. It's not like there are no sacrifices for people to grab soil, and it happens everywhere." Gang Leader Yue didn't know if he was really confused or just pretending.

Confused, he actually explained it at this time. "There is no need to change the customs."

"Is what I said the same thing as what you said?" When Zhang Xing heard this, no matter how unbearable he was, he got angry and pointed at the other person's nose and started to scold him in public. "Yue, you are an old fool.

Is that enough? How much does it cost for 10,000 Wotou, once a year, just to throw it out in vain and prevent you from making a fortune? You don’t have such a bit of courage, you still expect to be the overlord of Jianghuai and take advantage of the official business of Huanshui? I’m an old man

If this is the case, why not go home and take the baby?"

After saying that, he led everyone away directly.

By the way, Zhang Sanlang was just offering sacrifices and dividing meat, playing political tricks, and keeping everyone in harmony. Suddenly, he turned against one of the six giants and humiliated him so much that no one in the room even reacted... But when they reacted,

But he didn't know what to do, so he could only watch the other party walk away in stunned silence.

The more Gang Leader Yue thought about it, the more shameful and helpless he became. In the end, he could only stamp his feet, cover his face and leave in a hurry, but there was no one to comfort him.

In fact, after the two related people left, everyone started to make quick calculations. After thinking about it for a while, they generally didn't think that Saburo went too far.

If you think about it, you will know that it is not easy for Zhang Baishou, who has a figure like Inspector Bai behind him, but he has to act fair until now. In three days, the Jianghuai Conference will be held.

And these three days are naturally the most critical three days. If you have any means, you must use whatever means you can... Eating bread, eating meat, and digging in the mud are nothing more than hints of personal interests. At most, you can add an obedience test to see what happens.

Which one is obedient?

Gang leader Yue Lao relied on his old age to sell his old skills. His mind was confused and he fell down. He couldn't blame others.

"There are tens of millions of mansions in Guangzhou, and there are ten thousand steamed buns in it..." Zhang Xing certainly didn't know how many people were thinking about his sudden anger, but he just walked with his hands behind his back in the rain and sighed for a while.

There was no way, why didn't he know that this was some kind of custom related to spring plowing, and that sharing meat in sacrifices had nothing to do with it? But the carnivores in the front parted the meat, and the food was smooth and smooth, and the common people in the back part were scrambling to be the first to go.

Grabbing a handful of soil, the comparison was indeed a bit too much, and then it exploded.

The patrols and soldiers around him did not dare to say a word.

"Third brother!"

As soon as they reached the gate of the Long Whale Gang, Qin Bao's voice sounded at the right time.

Zhang Xing turned around and immediately saw Zuo You standing next to Qin Bao, and then he immediately understood: "Brother Zuo You, please come with me. Erlang can go and do whatever he needs to do."

Qin Bao immediately raised his hands and saluted and replied: "I'm going to get things done right now."

Zhang Xing nodded, only called Zuo You, who had no time to salute, and took a few other scattered people into the main helm of the Long Whale Gang, which was full of soldiers, and then climbed up to the attic in a hurry.

"Zhang Baishou."

The two of them sat down in the south pavilion on the third floor. Zuo You seemed a little impatient, and his first sentence was a bit shocking. "I am here to convey a message on behalf of Zuo Erlang."

Zhang Xing nodded, not showing the slightest bit of surprise.

Zuo You, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment: "Your Excellency, you have already guessed it?"

"Counting the days, Zuo Erlang should have gotten the message and rushed here, but he never showed up. It's just because he couldn't get here for some reason, or he didn't want to show up when he got here, and you are a fellow villager with the same surname as Zuo.

, I happened to go to the East China Sea again two years ago, and I have some friendship, but he is exactly the right messenger." Zhang Xing's words seemed a bit perfunctory and impatient. "So, what did Zuo Erye say?"

"Second Master Zuo said...his eldest brother means what he means." Zuo You suppressed some uneasiness and responded. "This is the bottom line that the three brothers discussed together before. The foundation of the Long Whale Gang cannot be destroyed. I hope Zhang Baishou

Hold your hand high."

Zhang Xing frowned in response, his face full of confusion, he was really confused: "It's just that the foundation of the Long Whale Gang cannot be destroyed? How come this is different from what Uncle Zuo and the others said?"

Zuo You also seemed a little uneasy: "Do Uncle Zuo and Third Master Zuo have other conditions?"

"They still want their ancestral property and cannot move it," Zhang Xingyi said.

Zuo You was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I see, this is reasonable... But actually, according to my understanding, Zuo Erye may not care about this kind of thing. Their father has passed away, and Zuo Erye is a prodigal.

My temperament means that I never come home all the time."

"But this is wrong." Zhang Xing was extremely speechless. "It was Boss Zuo who had a tough attitude that day. He had to do this. We couldn't talk about it at all. Everyone above and below testified, so I took action... But now that Second Master Zuo is back,

You promised it, but I have already started to dismantle the Long Whale Gang, do you have to blame me?"

"That's not the case." Zuo You laughed dryly.

"Brother Zuo You." Zhang Xing sighed even more. "If you have channels and can go and see Second Master Zuo immediately, go and see him immediately and persuade him to come back in person. Together with Uncle Zuo and Third Master Zuo, we can share a table.

Let’s explain it to each other face to face...what’s going on now?”

Zuo You was silent for a moment and nodded: "It seems that it is necessary...but I can't go back immediately...otherwise, if I can't explain the whole matter to Mr. Zuo clearly when I get there, wouldn't he dislike me for passing it on again?"

Is the information inappropriate? Moreover, the Jianghuai Conference is in full swing here. If we can't achieve a certain goal, it will be too late to stop, and as a middleman, I might be in trouble."

"That's true." Zhang Xing responded sincerely. "Besides, I also want to ask Brother Zuo something."

Hearing this, Zuo You woke up and smiled: "Zhang Baishou, what do you want to ask?"

"Where is Mr. Zuo now?" Zhang Xing made no secret of his intentions.

Zuo You was not surprised at all, but just smiled again: "Zhang Baishou, why are you doing this? Mr. Zuo can still have some opinions in the dark, but if you reveal them directly, it's not that I can't trust Zhang Sanlang's character. It's terrible that you, Zhang Sanlang, can't do it either."

I'm just afraid of what might happen... What if I show up and the Yitian Sword flies over and cuts me out, but I can't kill Mr. Zuo with one strike, and that's it for everyone else. You and I will only die."

Zhang Xing also laughed: "That's indeed the truth."

"Let's be honest about this." Zuo You suddenly became serious. "What are the conditions offered by the court?"

Zhang Xing responded equally seriously, but repeated the three conditions he had mentioned to Boss Zuo before.

Zuo You frowned slightly when he heard this, but he was obviously relieved: "It's the same thing again. Judging from the second master Zuo's intention, I don't think it's a big problem to move the clan to Kansai. It's okay to let the third master transfer him. It's just that

Mr. Zuo has now reached the elixir state and has begun to meditate, and he is still looking at the waves of the East China Sea... It would be better to wait a few years and then join the army."

"No." Zhang Xing did not hesitate. "We Ming people will not speak secretly. This is a condition set by Zhong Cheng himself. Therefore, it is also the most relaxed and basic condition. It must not be discounted... What's more, Zuo Erye is related to

Who among us doesn’t know what the conditions mean? What we want is for him to show up immediately and become a pillar of the imperial court, so as not to stay outside and oppose the imperial court. It would be ridiculous to come back after becoming a pill or to delay for a few years."

Zuo You looked serious: "Is this the fundamental meaning of Jing'antai?"

"That's right." Zhang Xing was still magnanimous. "The Long Whale Gang can give in, but Second Master Zuo must come forward...either be on the elite list or the black list, there is no other way. I don't believe that Second Master Zuo himself doesn't know this.

I don’t believe you don’t understand this truth, Brother Zuo You… I really don’t understand, are you still taking this matter lightly now?”

Zuo You pondered for a long time and then spoke again: "To be honest with Zhang Baishou, there are some stakes. Master Zuo has actually thought about it. What he said before was indeed that he asked me to test..."

Zhang Xing also smiled: "I'll just say it."

"Cao Zhongcheng's three conditions are actually for allowing the Zuo family to keep the Changjing Gang." Zuo You said sincerely. "Actually, what Zuo Erye really means is that he is willing to give up the most critical thing, and

That is to give up most of the Long Whale Gang, let Third Master Zuo leave, and move the clan, so that he can wait for two years before serving for the imperial court, because his vision has reached a critical moment."

"Is the visualization of the Chengdan realm so troublesome?" Zhang Baishou became slightly irritable.

"That's natural." Zuo You responded with emotion. "You have to look at it and think about it..."
