Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

No one understood Jiang Xiaobo's actions, but Zhou Haifa, who was familiar with him, knew very well that his intention was to take people's lives.

Who to kill? Jiang Xiaobo's intention was to get rid of Fu Gang directly, and then transfer out the Zhou family members lurking in the Salt Gang to control the overall situation.

Zhao Heng naturally had no idea about the series of major events that were about to happen, and was still confidently preparing for the next step, intending to go to Binzhou to take control of the overall situation.

The Salt Gang originally had more than 10,000 people. Although some of them changed their ways after the war, it is impossible that they only gathered more than 100 people. There must be something fishy.

Just when Fu Gang was worried about the lack of manpower, Zhou Qiang came to join him with more than a hundred brothers.

"Captain, we heard about the petition filed at the Binzhou County Court, and only then did we learn of your comeback, so I brought my men to join you."

When Fu Gang was the helmsman, he noticed that the relationship among the Binzhou salt faction was complicated, and a group of people among them were basically supported by salt merchants.

Zhou Qiang should have more than a hundred men under his command. They belong to the Zhou family, and the minimum number of people is more than 500. Although Binzhou has experienced a battle, with Zhou Qiang's strength in Binzhou, it is not difficult for him to lead his men to escape and find himself.

Therefore, he was skeptical about Zhou Qiang's arrival.

"So it's you, kid. Don't call me the Captain anymore. The brothers in the Salt Gang have all dispersed, and I don't think it will be easy to get them together again."

Fu Gang gave Zhou Qiang a cold shoulder and then asked, "We brothers are all dogs of the Binzhou salt merchant. As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner. We have been beaten so badly, why doesn't our owner come out?"

These words were also said to the people brought by Zhou Qiang. Fu Gang believed that it would be difficult to impress other people with just these words. These people must be carefully selected by Zhou Qiang.

"It's strange, but after we got into trouble, the elders in Binzhou really didn't stand up for us."

"That's perfectly normal," Fu Gang interrupted. "What are we, the Salt Gang? We're just people working hard to get to the sea and make salt. No matter how hard or tiring it is, we endure it. This time, I'm going to the government office to fight for some money for us poor kids."

Most of the people who followed Zhou Qiang obviously didn't know what Fu Gang had done. When they heard that he was the descendant of these brothers, different thoughts suddenly arose in their minds.

Fu Gang clearly noticed the changes on these people's faces and continued, "I'll tell you the truth, the reason I have this courage is, firstly, my brothers in the Salt Gang, and secondly, the rules of my Salt Gang."

As he said this, he looked at the person behind Zhou Qiang and said, "Three knives and six holes, this is not a joke. He betrays his master and destroys his ancestors. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, someone will take the lives of his seven clansmen."

Zhou Qiang didn't know how many people Fu Gang had under his command, so he asked in a low voice: "Captain, how many of our brothers have returned now?"

Fu Gang pointed at the village and said, "See? Each household has more than ten people. Here alone, there are no less than 2,000 people."

The number of people sent by Sun Tiebiao in the village was no more than 200, and together with the salt gang members who came later, there were no more than 300 people. Zhou Qiang's hands trembled when he heard Fu Gang's exaggeration, and he thought to himself: I miscalculated!

Fu Gang also struck while the iron was hot and gave Liu Meng a hint, meaning to call the village's secret guards to come, as there was danger here.

"Zhou Qiang, bring your brothers here and have a good meal here tonight."

"No, no, we've already eaten tonight. We mainly want to see the captain and report our location."

"Since you are here, let's have a good talk." Fu Gang saw that more and more people were gathering in this direction outside, and he knew that they were his people.

"Tell me, what do you want to do this time? Who ordered you to do this?"

Zhou Qiang was so suddenly asked that he didn't know where to start. Thinking that he was about to be exposed, he shouted, "Brothers, grab your weapons."

Unexpectedly, Fu Gang grabbed Zhou Qiang's neck with one hand and shouted, "Zhou Qiang, you are so bold! Even if you are not afraid of three swords and six holes, aren't you afraid of the slaughter of all seven clans?"

Although they were all brothers handpicked by Zhou Qiang, some were unwilling to kill each other. They split into two teams. The other team said, "We don't know the whole story. We just heard that the leader wanted to divide up the hard work of the brothers and run away."

Unexpectedly, a man from the other team stood up and said, "Don't be silly. No one supports our Salt Gang now. Only death awaits us. If we capture Fu Gang, we will have a bright future."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the man finished speaking, a dart was stuck in his neck. A group of people came and shouted, "Dare to rebel in the Salt Gang's territory? Don't blame the poison dart in my hand."

The person who came was Sun Tiebiao. His martial arts skills were not to be underestimated. Normally, a dozen people would not be his match, and now more and more people were rushing towards this side.

The rest of the people didn't know what was going on, and most of the people Zhou Qiang brought didn't dare to take action.

Without a doubt, all the hundred or so Zhou Qiang's men were captured. There were still more than a hundred people outside. Sun Tiebiao didn't even need to take action. Fu Gang just went over and persuaded them to surrender.

After all, the people outside were not Zhou Qiang's confidants. They were all old members of the Salt Gang. When they saw the leader coming, most of them lost their murderous intent.

As usual, these people were examined separately and the results were soon obtained.

"This Zhou Qiang is from the Zhou family. Most of the people in the Salt Gang don't know the truth and think you're going to run away with the money, so they're here to stop you."

Fu Gang thought that the people in the Salt Gang were a mess. Those in Binzhou were controlled by the Zhou family, and it was unclear whose lackeys the other branches were.

Chuzhou is the headquarters of the Salt Gang, which has been disintegrated by the Cao Gang. Now the Salt Gang brothers in Binzhou and Chuzhou have only more than a thousand people together. Zhao Heng has no intention of letting them fight with anyone, he just wants them to find something to do.

But the changes tonight soon spread to Chuzhou. After Zhao Heng learned about this, he felt a pang in his heart and thought that he had thought things were too simple.

Let alone his second brother's power, he can't even handle the power of these big families. What say can he have in Chuzhou?

So he came up with a plan to detain Zhou Qiang and other members of the Zhou family separately, kill a few of them at different locations, and then send someone to report to the prefect of Chuzhou.

If it was a single incident, the county government could handle it. But several people died in succession, and it involved several cases. How could He Hairen not be anxious?

The King of Chu is standing here. He can ignore this matter, but he has the right to order himself or report to the emperor without going through the three provinces and six ministries.

Finally, it was determined that the crime was committed by mountain bandits or water bandits near Chuzhou, and the Chuzhou government troops were ordered to go out and hunt down these bandits with all their might.

Mountain bandits were easy to deal with, but water bandits were more difficult to deal with. After all, the imperial court had limited ships and few soldiers skilled in naval warfare. Isn't Liu Yihui in Chuzhou? He directly asked him to borrow 2,000 brothers from the Cao Gang to assist Prefect He in handling the case.

None of the 5,000 imperial guards brought by Zhao Heng moved, so all the soldiers in Chuzhou were his, Zhao Heng's men.

The next step is to see how to march to Binzhou and remove the county magistrate of Binzhou.

Coincidentally, someone from the Cui family of Boling came to Chuzhou to do business and accidentally offended a local powerful family in Chuzhou. The people of the Cui family knew that it was useless to find the prefect, and the King of Chu happened to be here, so why not spend money on him?
