Chapter 457: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 68
Wei Zhong and his men led the way, followed closely by Lin Yuan's men, and finally the officials and the exile team.
Cangshan is a large mountain range, and the Hongxing Gang is located on one of the hills. The mountain stronghold was built bit by bit by the Hongxing Gang from scratch. Most of the houses are wooden. There is the largest and most solid building on the top of the mountain, called the Council Hall, which is the most important place for the Hongxing Gang.
There is a rare flat land to the east of the council hall, where the mountain stronghold’s martial arts field is built. There is also a row of neatly arranged stone houses here, which are the mountain stronghold’s warehouses. However, most of the warehouses are empty now, and there is not much food left.
"Zhao Feitian looted our warehouse, and I have recovered everything. The Feitian Gang's treasures are also in my hands, and all the food and cloth have been transported to the warehouse."
At Lin Yuan's command, several large carriages drove out of the team and transported all the food and cloth inside into the warehouse.
The empty warehouse was filled up. The bandits hadn't seen so much food for a long time and they were very excited.
"After eating moldy and rotten millet these days, I finally see fresh rice!"
"Who says it's not true? Although Gang Leader Wei managed to snatch back some food from Zhao Feitian, they were all broken beans and rotten grains that the Feitian Gang didn't want. They were good enough to feed horses, but not for human consumption at all."
"Boss Lin is really amazing. Not only did he kill Zhao Feitian, but he also brought back so much food. We brothers don't have to worry about going hungry anymore!"
Zhang Mazi was originally hesitant due to Wei Zhong's tyranny, but now seeing so much food, he felt that Gang Leader Lin was much more capable than Wei Zhong.
Only such a person is qualified to be the leader of the stronghold. Following Wei Zhong, he would be hungry for nine meals out of three days. Wei Zhong himself, on the other hand, was eating so much that his mouth was drooling and he didn't care about the lives of his brothers at all.
Wei Zhong eats the meat, while Wei Zhong's confidants drink the soup. As for those of them, who are the direct descendants of Gang Leader Hong, they cannot even get a sip of the soup because they did not support Wei Zhong in a big way before.
Zhang Mazi was busy helping to move things. When he saw the gold, silver and jewelry in the mahogany box, he immediately said attentively, "These are all taken back by Gang Leader Lin. From now on, they will be Gang Leader Lin's private property."
Lin Yuan waved his hand indifferently, "Put them all in the stone house on the right. This is the dowry that my stepfather prepared for my sister, so it should be kept for her when she gets married."
Zhang Mazi flattered her in the wrong way, and immediately changed his tone, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my eyes, you didn't recognize her. Gang Leader Hong is gone, and now the one who cares about Miss Hong the most is Gang Leader Lin. It's true that there is a deep brother-sister relationship."
"Boss Hong never had a son in his life, but luckily there is Boss Lin who remembers his kindness. Boss Lin is loyal and selfless, and Boss Hong has not raised you in vain."
After these words were spoken, many veterans who followed Hung Hing to establish the gang were very impressed.
In fact, Wei Zhong is a sworn brother of Hongxing. The two have known each other for decades, but in the end, his achievements are not as good as an adopted son who has been raised for a few years.
After Wei Zhong became the boss, he didn't care about Hong Xiangyu's life or death at all. He even kicked her out of the attic, not to mention arranging a marriage for her.
The elders began to favor Lin Yuan. Although Lin Yuan was a little younger, he was more loyal and righteous than Wei Zhong.
The last remaining car was Lin Yuan's own stuff. They had made a lot of big bucks along the way, and the fat sheep all came to their door automatically. After distributing the spoils to his brothers, he still had a lot left. In addition, Uncle Ji often gave him things, so his family fortune became thicker and thicker.
He exchanged most of the things for gold, silver and other items so that he could sell them later.
"Leave these things in the mountain stronghold. The current situation is chaotic, there are few caravans passing by, and it is difficult to rob the big guys. If you run out of food in the future, you can sell them to get by for a while."
Zhang Mazi flattered them again and happily started moving the last truckload of things with his brothers.
It was extremely heavy when he picked it up. Zhang Mazi did not dare to open it, but he could guess what was inside. He was ecstatic and moved it even more vigorously. After that, if he followed Gang Leader Lin, wouldn't he be able to drink and eat meat and live a happy life like a god?
Ji Yunhuan had been following behind Lin Yuan. Even though she was wearing plain clothes, she was still very beautiful. Everyone could tell that she was Lin Yuan's woman, so no one dared to harass her.
She had been observing the reactions of these people. Wei Zhong did have the upper hand, and he was a veteran with considerable influence in the mountain stronghold. Lin Yuan was younger and did not have a deep foundation, but he had won the hearts of the people today, so he was not without a chance of winning.
Lin Yuan tugged at Huan'er's sleeve and whispered, "Thanks to my uncle for giving me money and food along the way, I'll leave all of this in the village. Huan'er, don't be angry. After you settle the brothers in the village, everything I rob will be yours."
Ji Yun laughed, "Why should I be angry? I gave it to you, so you can use it as you like."
Lin Yuan's things are just a drop in the bucket. The matter in the space is the bulk, so she doesn't care about these trifles.
Lin Yuan looks carefree, but he actually values friendship very much. Even though he knows that Wei Zhong has bad intentions, he must still be thinking about getting along well with his brothers in his heart, so he generously shares all his supplies.
Their original intention was just to pass by Cangshan and pay tribute to Lin Yuan's relatives, but now it seems that it may not be so easy.
Lin Yuan's rough big hands tightly wrapped around Ji Yunhuan's small hands, revealing a big smile, "I know Huan'er is the best."
The two of them huddled together and whispered, being particularly intimate.
Wei Zhong looked at the excitement of the crowd with an extremely ugly expression. This Lin Yuan, who looked honest before, turned out to be so cunning. He tried to win people's hearts as soon as he came back.
The confidant next to him whispered, "The boss is the boss, it's just right for him to hand these things over. They will all belong to the boss in the future, and we will be rich!"
Wei Zhong stared at the full carriages in the exile team and became even more itchy. If he could get all of them, he would really be rich.
After all the things were moved into the stone house, Wei Zhongcai stepped out and led his men to surround Zhang Mazi.
"Once we got into the warehouse, we found out that these things were fake. Zhang Mazi, do you want to embezzle these fake things? If I don't care about you money-hungry people, there won't be much left in this warehouse tomorrow."
"Don't think I don't know what you are up to. You're trying to trick my silly nephew with sweet words so that you can put money in your pockets, right? As the head of the village, I won't let you succeed. Hand over the keys!"
Wei Zhong had more people and more power, so Zhang Mazi had no choice but to hand over the keys.
Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, Wei Zhong said, "My nephew must be sincere in handing the things over to the copycat. My nephew is young and can't help being fooled by these slick people. I'd rather let him hold the key."
"I have already made the arrangements. You brought back a lot of friends. The east side is occupied by your brothers. It is already full. The west side is empty, which is perfect for accommodating your friends."
"You've worked hard all the way, go and take a rest, we can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
