Talk about the world of mortals in detail

A few days before the big gathering in Luling County, Duan Silie had already led a detailed search in the city and captured some remnants of the operatives, based on the varying degrees of confessions from the six people.

Including the previous six people, the total number of people arrested was actually only eleven people. The other two were locals in Luling County, but they didn't seem to know anything about it. They were just paid to run errands.

But there was no news about the master who escaped, and even the captured people seemed unaware of the existence of such a person. This also made Duan Silie and Chu Hang inclined to believe that the person might be Dayong's own martial artist.

It was probably the person who sent the secret message to Chu Hang that day.

It's not even bright yet on the fifteenth day, but the market outside Nancheng in Luling County is already as lively as ever.

The grand scene outside the south of the city was considered lively compared to most areas in the northwest. With this level of gathering of people, the manpower of the county government and Duan Silie's personal soldiers seemed a bit stretched.

But today, Chu Hang and Duan Silie no longer ask for a blockade.

The most conspicuous stall in the market is still the same, but the difference from before is that Chu Hang came earlier today, when the stall was still open, and the crowd around him had not yet reached its peak. It was crowded, and there was Duan Silie beside him.

Pei Changtian was still sitting in his original position, noticing Chu Hang and Duan Silie from a distance, and his heartbeat was slightly faster.

"Cough cough cough"

The cough was a little uncontrollable, and the wounds left by the fight with Duan Silie that night were naturally not healed yet.

The people carrying baskets coming and going always passed by, but Chu Hang and Duan Silie had slowly arrived in front of the stall. They did not stop at the front of the selling goods, but went around to the side and arrived in front of Pei Changtian.

Pei Changtian had already stood up and took the initiative to salute Chu Hang.

"Master Chu, are you coming to the market again today?"

"Oh? Didn't you recognize me last time?"

Chu Hang asked with a smile, and Pei Changtian smiled slightly.

"We actually met each other last time, but I was too sensitive and suspicious and didn't react, cough, cough, cough."

Duan Silie narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Pei Changtian.

"Have you been coughing for a few days?"

"Brother Duan, this is a misunderstanding. This boss named Jin has been ill for a few years, and his cough has always been the same."

"Ahem, Master Chu is right. Jin and his father have been ill for many years. This stall not only makes some money, but also collects some medicinal materials from the mountain people. I'm Jin Changtian, I wonder who this master is?"

Duan Silie nodded slightly and cupped his fists.

"Duan Silie."

An old man who was working at the busy stall over there also came over and looked at Pei Changtian with a worried look. The latter seemed to have made up his mind and nodded slightly to the old man before facing Chu Hang and Duan Silie again.

"It's indeed General Duan. I'll tell you the truth. I have something to discuss with you two. Is it convenient for you two to move?"

Facing the suspicion of Duan Silie and even Chu Hang, Pei Changtian looked calm and showed no fear at all, and the former two naturally had nothing to fear.

Before today's gathering was over, Pei Changtian took Chu Hang and Duan Silie to his house in the county, followed by several of Duan Silie's soldiers and some of the county government officials.

The yard is not big, but when you enter the yard, you can smell the obvious smell of medicinal materials. However, Pei Changtian found that his father was sitting in the living room fully dressed, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.

"father!"

Pei Changtian exclaimed and immediately rushed towards the living room.

"Dad, why are you here? You are not"

Pei Changtian couldn't say anything anymore. He had obviously sent the old man to the countryside.

The old man shook his head slightly, coughed slightly, stood up, and saluted Chu Hang and Duan Silie.

"I've met two adults, cough cough cough."

Chu Hang felt something special now. When he saw the old man, he looked haggard. In fact, ordinary people could also see this, let alone Duan Silie.

The two of them quickly took a few steps forward.

"You don't have to be polite to the elderly!"

The old man nodded slightly, walked away from the table, looked at his son and smiled.

"Tian'er, I'm sorry for your mother in the first half of my life, and I'm sorry for you in the second half of my life. When something happened, I was in trouble and relied on you to get through the difficulties. It's really not the way to be a father."

The old man knew what his son was going to do, and he also knew that today was a gamble, but there was actually a better way.

After saying this to his son, the old man walked towards the door of the living room step by step and looked at Chu Hang and Duan Silie. They were also looking at him. Although he was old and terminally ill, he stood upright at the moment.

In other words, not only did he stand upright, the internal energy in the meridians in the old man's body was churning at this time, and a faint power naturally arose, as if he had become the leader of the Sky Whale Gang, the largest gang in Wuzhou, again!

This aura made Duan Silie look wary, but he did not move. Even at such a close distance, he was sure to protect Chu Hang, and the old man had no murderous intent in his eyes.

The old man took a deep breath and saluted the official in front of him again.

"Officially introduce my name to the two adults. I am Pei Donghao. I still remember the court notice saying that those who have made meritorious service in reporting and reporting will be given a lighter punishment. Those who have made great achievements will not be punished. Tian'er persuaded me to surrender, and it is also considered as a merit of reporting, right?"

"Dad, here you are."

Pei Changtian was moved but also a little helpless. When did he say that he was going to show off his cards directly?

Chu Hang and Duan Silie both frowned, and while looking at each other, it was Chu Hang who asked.

"Old sir, what's your crime?"

It was obvious that what the old man was talking about was definitely not the matter he had detailed before.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled mockingly to himself. Pei Changtian on the other side had also relaxed. Maybe it was okay to leave the matter to his father.

"Hahahahahahaha. After more than ten years of hiding in China, the court has long forgotten. I was the leader of the Tianjing Gang in Wuzhou back then!"

Chu Hang and Duan Silie looked shocked at the same time. When they said this, they both remembered that the Sky Whale Gang incident was quite sensational back then. Of course, it was far less than the martial arts conference that followed, but it still made people think so. Everyone remembers the Sky Whale Gang.

It's just that after so many years, the name of the leader of the Sky Whale Gang has been forgotten. What's more, neither Chu Hang nor Duan Silie were interested in this name at the time, nor did they pay attention to it deliberately.

"So you are from the Tianjing Gang. It seems that your name should be Pei Changtian? Jin Changtian, Jing Changtian?"

Chu Hang murmured, his expression returned from surprise to calmness. When he looked at Pei Changtian, the latter also smiled and was very calm.

Duan Silie also had a playful smile on his face. Although it was unexpected, he was somewhat convinced that Pei Changtian was indeed not an accomplice of Xi Zuo.

Although theoretically speaking, the Tianjing Gang's crimes were not trivial at that time, and there was every reason to resent Dayong for working for Nan Yan, but if this were to be the case, there would be no need to stage this, and intuitively, Duan Silie was willing to believe the father and son at this moment.

"Speaking of which, it was rumored that it was you, the Sky Whale Gang, who first discovered the traces of Senior Xiantian."

"It's all old news. Since the two adults are not in a hurry to arrest us, father and son, who are the imperial criminals, how about you listen to me talk for a few more words?"

When Pei Changtian said this, he naturally could not blame his father for taking the credit. He sat at the table and took out a scroll and a piece of parchment from his arms.

Seeing this, Chu Hang and Duan Silie also walked over and sat down at the table.

At this time, Pei Donghao stood out.

"Dad, please come and take a look."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the table and sat down. Although he was extremely tired, he was also a little excited. He forced himself to look at the table. Pei Changtian had already spread out the parchment, and there was a special map on it.

This map does not have the entire terrain drawn, but only simple lines, but various details are marked on them, representing place names, people, and some other things.

"Master Chu, General Duan, except for the night you were in the restaurant, I also noticed the night commotion in the county before, and I also restrained the two Nanyan Xizuo, but I didn't expect them to be so decisive."

"You two must have seen the corpses. One has a hole in his armpit, and the other has a broken lumbar vertebrae."

Chu Hang nodded slightly, it seemed that he was indeed the one who took action.

"After that night, I paid close attention to some things that I had never paid attention to before. I also ordered the remaining members of the Sky Whale Gang to secretly investigate through some channels of my own. I already knew about them as soon as they came to Luling County that day, so I came to Observing secretly outside the restaurant."

As he spoke, Pei Changtian looked at Duan Silie with a wry smile.

"I just didn't expect General Duan to be here. It's just that Pei is being sentimental. Oh, talking about this picture, as the saying goes, snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths. The government often doesn't pay attention to the details."

"And if we, the remnants of the Sky Whale Gang, want to survive, we naturally have to find some ways out, and if we want to hide, we naturally have to know a lot of details. We didn't pay attention to the details before, but after this incident, I am also thinking about various possibilities. "

The expressions of Chu Hang and Duan Silie gradually became serious. As Pei Changtian narrated, a northwest that the government and the army usually had little access to was gradually revealed in front of them. Mountains, rivers, villages, and martial arts forces all involved, involving both rivers and lakes, ordinary people, traffickers and pawns. The three religions and nine streams are all in it.

The content on the map is already very rich, and the details in the book are even more detailed, and are not limited to Luling County. This is exactly what Chu Hang has wanted to know since he took office, and the Tianjing Gang has been working hard for more than ten years. Drilling camp is naturally far better than what he earns.

Pei Changtian talked endlessly, which was also mixed with the occasional coughing of his father and son. Chu Hang and Duan Silie tried not to interrupt, and would only expand on it when they were confused.

By the time Pei Changtian had finished speaking, it was already noon. Chu Hang felt that he had a completely new understanding of the Northwest. Even Duan Silie, who was considered a native of the Northwest, had been in the army for many years and had not been deeply involved in these things. He was slightly shocked. .

"Actually, this is not just the northwest, it is the same everywhere in Dayong, and even in other countries and all over the world. It is intricately connected and involves many things. This is the normal state of the world!"

Chu Hang nodded slightly. Officials who are superior often don’t understand enough! And he had to admit that the power of the Sky Whale Gang back then was indeed not based on ruthlessness and luck alone.

"How many people do the Sky Whale Gang have available now?"

Chu Hang asked seriously. This seemed to be very sensitive and related to the safety of the gang, but Pei Changtian's heart was beating fast. To some extent, this also represented Mr. Chu's approval and opportunity.

"To be honest, except for those who are no longer willing to get involved in the world, there are still more than 300 people in our Sky Whale Gang who can move now, and there are many good players among them!"

Chu Hang nodded slightly. He was not a pedantic person. The Tianjing Gang, especially Pei Changtian, could be of great use! He looked at Duan Silie and said.

"Today, I have not seen any remnants of the Sky Whale Gang, only a group of righteous warriors. And the affairs of the Sky Whale Gang may have turned around in the future! What does General Duan think?"

Duan Silie smiled.

"Duan also agrees. The Holy One is the wise king of the world. He naturally knows rewards and punishments, and he also has the courage to use people with tolerance!"

Pei Changtian did not speak, restrained his excitement, stood up and bowed to the two of them. He believed that both of them were people of faith!
