Chapter 32: They're all cowards, why don't they come and rob us?
"How many people do you have under your command now?"
Knowing what Ye Tian was going to do, Mei Yongning spoke without hesitation.
"Including those newly recruited today, we now have nearly six hundred people."
Although he had the title of "Young Master Yu," only in the very beginning did many people come to pay their respects. As time went on, the number of people decreased.
However, during this period, Ye Tian still managed to double the number of people under his command.
Six hundred people.
That's enough for Ye Tian to swallow up another piece of territory.
"How's the investigation going with what I asked you to do?"
"Everything has been investigated."
Since the decision has been made to take action, it is necessary to choose a target first. In recent days, Ye Tian has been having Mei Yongning investigate these information.
"In this area of the west of the city, apart from the Earth Dragon Gang, the Black Fiend Gang and the Flying Cloud Gang have the largest territories."
The reason why Linshui City is known as a city belonging to Jianghu gangs is because there are too many gangs here.
The Blackwater Gang, the Earth Dragon Gang, and the Three Seas Gang are just the most powerful gangs among them. In addition, there are no fewer than ten gangs of all sizes.
Having just seized the territory of the Earth Dragon Gang not long ago, Ye Tian wasn't stupid. How could he possibly continue to gnaw at the Earth Dragon Gang at this time?
Taking down a weak gang shouldn't be a problem.
"Brother, I think if we really have to take action, it's best to choose the Flying Cloud Gang."
Seeing that Ye Tian did not speak, Mei Yongning expressed his thoughts.
They also produced a map of the western part of the city, which marked the territories of several gangs.
"What's the reason?"
Ye Tian turned his gaze away from the map and looked at Mei Yongning.
If someone can say that, there must be a reason.
"First of all, the Flying Cloud Gang's territory is the closest to us. Secondly, the Flying Cloud Gang controls a small dock. Didn't Boss want to get into the weapons business? With this dock, it's perfect."
Mei Yongning also knew about Ye Tian building the forging workshop.
They also knew that Ye Tian's hammer had excellent blacksmithing skills, but the blacksmith shop had not yet officially started operations because it had not yet found a market for the product.
As he spoke, Mei Yongning pointed to the location of the dock marked on the map.
In this waterfront city, almost all the large docks are controlled by the Three Seas Gang. However, there are some small docks that the Three Seas Gang doesn't want and are controlled by other forces.
The Flying Cloud Gang possessed one of these.
Ye Tian didn't speak, but instead looked thoughtful.
next moment.
[Host-triggered selection detected]
[Option 1: Deal with the Black Fiend Gang! Reward: +50 Basic Loyalists]
[Option 2: Defeat the Flying Cloud Gang, gain: 50 basic loyalists]
After such a long time, a new option has finally emerged, and at this moment, it can bring Ye Tian a full fifty junior loyalists.
"The Flying Cloud Gang is the one!"
The rewards are the same anyway.
Ye Tian is determined to get the dock belonging to the Flying Cloud Gang.
Ye Tian's gaze sharpened as he looked at the location of the Flying Cloud Gang marked on the map.
"However, before taking action, it would be best if you had a pretext."
As the saying goes, when gangs fight, having a pretext to take action is the rule.
"How's the quality of these newly recruited subordinates?"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian suddenly asked a question.
Having followed Ye Tian for so long, I knew he wasn't one to play by the rules, so I immediately understood what he meant.
"It's mostly alright, but recently there's been a gambling addict who lost so much money that he even gave away his wife to pay off his debts."
"This kind of person deserves to die."
Upon hearing that he was a gambling addict, a look of disgust flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
Gambling in moderation is harmless fun. Although it is not explicitly prohibited, Ye Tian has instructed that everything should be done in moderation and that one should weigh whether they can afford the consequences.
Someone who would sell their wife for gambling is wasting their life.
"Since he deserves to die, let's make his death at least worthwhile."
"Go and make the arrangements."
If there's no reason to start something, then just make one.
It's just framing someone; Ye Tian is quite adept at it.
"clear!"
Having spent so much time with Ye Tian, Mei Yongning didn't even need Ye Tian to explain the specifics; he simply nodded knowingly.
I know what to do.
,,,
"Ugh!"
The next day, on the evening of the following day, arrived.
In all this time, Ye Tian's Golden Wind Pavilion has been fully completed and is already open for business.
Compared to the previous restaurants, Jin Feng Lou is larger and more impressive. Ye Tian originally intended to make Jin Feng Lou a landmark building on his territory.
Since it's a restaurant, it's natural that Thunderbolt and Double Blades will be in charge of it.
"What's wrong?"
After practicing his kung fu for a while, Thunderbolt returned from the backyard of the restaurant, covered in sweat. Carrying his meteor hammer, he sat down with an air of nonchalance when he saw the Double-Sword General sighing.
He picked up his twin swords and drank from the wine jug in front of him.
The past was nothing compared to this; Thunderbolt felt he had never felt so good before.
Fortunately, I accepted the invitation from the Double-Sword General, otherwise I don't know when I would be able to live such a good life.
"I just feel regret."
He didn't mind that Thunderbolt was drinking his own wine.
He just sighed and said.
"Our elder brother has been incredibly kind to us, yet we have no opportunity to serve him. How tragic!"
After saying that, he let out another long sigh, dodged the wine flask in Thunderbolt's hand, poured himself a cup, and drank it down.
He thought that after following Ye Tian, his skills would finally be put to good use, and he would be worthy of Ye Tian's high regard for him.
The results of it.
There wasn't a single troublemaker. A couple of days ago, I heard some crashing noises inside the restaurant and thought someone was causing trouble. So, the Double-Swordsman excitedly drew his sword and came out.
As a result, a group of people got drunk and smashed the bowl.
The Double-Swordsmen were immediately demoralized, and all they did was make them pay for a bowl.
It's so boring.
The restaurant's accounts are managed by specialized scholars. Thunderbolt and his ilk only need to ensure that the restaurant is operating normally and that no one is causing trouble. If they were to actually manage the accounts, they wouldn't understand them anyway.
"Ugh!"
Not to mention the Twin Blades General, Thunderbolt hadn't really thought of that.
But that's what I mean.
Thunderbolt couldn't help but sigh.
"Who can argue with that? Our eldest brother values us so much, yet we haven't even had a single chance to prove ourselves."
The Twin Blades want a chance to shine, doesn't Thunderbolt want one too?
When other people recruit them, they'll just put them in charge of the territory.
Although he is currently enjoying great success, he has not accomplished anything or made any significant contributions. Yet, he still manages so many restaurants. Thunderbolt feels uneasy about everything.
I feel uneasy taking this money.
"Damn it, are all the other gang members cowards? Our restaurant is making so much money, why don't you come and rob us instead!"
If you don't fight for it, how will you ever have a chance to act or show off?
"Who can argue with that!"
