Cooperated!

Juyi Gang and Nanshan Gang really cooperated!

None of the people present are fools. Du Ruo's words have made it very clear that the Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang are cooperating.

Everyone looked at the leader of the Zhongxin Gang and the leader of the Changfeng Gang without leaving any trace, as if they were just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.

These two are also very well-known people. Others don't know how they feel in their hearts. However, these two people have normal expressions, as if this matter has nothing to do with them at all. Moreover, the leader of the Zhongxin Gang is also facing Song.

The county magistrate cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency, it is a good thing that the Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang can put aside their grudges and join forces to promote the development of our Shuixi County!"

Magistrate Song nodded with interest.

There were almost no surprises in the subsequent discussions. Everyone who came had their own plans and were sure of their plans, otherwise they would not receive the invitations. The only exception was the Nanshan Gang, who also had problems after the Juyi Gang expressed their cooperation.

Solved easily.

The atmosphere on the Tai'an ship was very peaceful.

Du Ruo also listened attentively and participated in discussions from time to time, but he basically said some innocuous remarks. After all, the host of this summit was County Magistrate Song. This so-called dragon boat festival was actually dominated by Magistrate Song, who allocated

Official interests of Shuixi.

Seeing the high-spiritedness of Magistrate Song, Du Ruo had to admire him. Magistrate Song was indeed a very capable person. Not only did he firmly hold the power of Shuixi County Government, but even the Shuixi Jianghu area was very important.

The official areas are still under his control.

Of course, this is indeed inseparable from the general trend of the world. The world of Qin is very majestic, but it has always been firmly suppressed by the imperial court. This also allows most local governments to take advantage of the situation to suppress the rivers and lakes.

However, there is no doubt about Magistrate Song's methods.

This black and white meeting in Shuixi ended in the afternoon. Some people were satisfied, and naturally there were some who were dissatisfied. But under the general trend, those who were dissatisfied could only hold it in. Du Ruo was one of those who were satisfied.

He has already obtained the port freight qualification issued by the government that Juyi Gang needs most.

The next step was to receive the Nanshan Gang's cargo ship and start arranging cooperation with the Nanshan Gang. Although he and Deng Fangzhou only had a verbal alliance, he was not worried that Deng Fangzhou would break the contract. After all, under this general trend, words in black and white were just empty talk.

The only thing that is really useful is environmental pressure.

Today, the Nanshan Gang urgently needs the help of the Juyi Gang, and Deng Fangzhou cannot and does not dare to dig his own grave in terms of cooperation.

In addition, Du Ruo has a more important thing, which is to prepare for the next Sanzhou Township Examination and strive to win the title of Juren. Of course, it doesn't matter if he fails.

The sun gradually began to set, and the people on the Tai'an ship began to disperse. Some had dark faces, some had glorious faces, some didn't even say hello, and some said hello, in small groups.

.

Except for Hu Yuanwai, the president of the Changyuan Chamber of Commerce, a group of people said goodbye to Du Ruo. Some of the other people came to say hello to Du Ruo. However, most of them had little interaction with Du Ruo. At the end, Deng Fangzhou came over and handed over to Du Ruo.

After saying goodbye, Du Ruo also greeted Black Head and prepared to leave.

Just when Du Ruo was about to get off the boat, Magistrate Song was also about to get off the boat. When the two met, Du Ruo took the lead in saluting: "Your Majesty."

Magistrate Song smiled and said: "Shan Jiang, what do you think about this dragon boat festival?" As if he was afraid that Du Ruo would misunderstand, Magistrate Song added: "You and I are both scholars, not businessmen, so tell the truth.

To tell the truth, don’t use nice words to deal with me.”

Du Ruo smiled slightly and said: "The student doesn't have much idea. The only feeling is that he admires the county magistrate. I am not deliberately flattering, but seeking truth from facts. I have been in Shuixi County when I was very young, and I know what this place is like.

In just three years, the changes have been so drastic, it’s really shocking.”

Magistrate Song touched his chin, which was not a very long beard, and looked at the Tai'an River bank where the crowd was gradually dispersing, and said, "Well, Shan Jiang, do you have any thoughts about Shuixi?"

Du Ruo narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Sir, I think you know the reason why the student became the leader of this gang. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is more suitable for me, haha!"

By this time, both of them had disembarked from the boat and reached the shore.

Du Ruo cupped his hands and said, "Sir, if nothing happens, the student will leave."

Magistrate Song nodded.

When Du Ruo left, Magistrate Song kept looking at his back with deep eyes.

…………

In Wutong Town, the early morning water mist is filled with water, shrouding down from the mountainside, surrounding the entire Wutong Town. At a glance, it is only hazy, adding a bit of a different atmosphere. However, the sun has not yet come here.

When we came out of the mountain, people were already coming and going in the town.

Ling Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in red, crossed a long bridge with a bunch of candied haws in his hand and muttered: "You are a wanderer, sitting in your room studying every day, why don't you go and get the top prize?

Don’t accompany me!”

After biting down a candied haws, she muttered again: "What a bullshit gang leader, you actually let me wait for you here for so many days. You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands. I want you to look good..."

Before she finished speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao was suddenly stunned. In the hazy mist, she saw a woman under a willow tree by the river not far away. She walked towards the river with her body hunched over. It looked like she was about to

diving.

She rubbed her eyes, swallowed her saliva, immediately threw away the candied haws in her hand, and shouted, "Don't jump!"

When her feet were lifted, her body was as light as a leaf crossing the railings of a long bridge. Like a swallow flying across the water, she drifted toward the river. Her toes touched the surface of the water, causing slight ripples. A drop of water was carried away on her shoes, and there was a ticking sound.

It fell and splashed on the calm river.

"Don't jump!"

Ling Xiaoxiao skimmed the water, stretched out her right hand to hug the old woman who had jumped down and was about to hit the water. Then her right foot was a little higher on the water, and the ripples were big. She gently stretched out her left hand and grabbed a willow branch.

, pulled hard, and with the help of a willow branch as thick as a little finger, the two people were thrown to the river bank.

Slowly falling to the ground, Ling Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief and asked hurriedly: "Auntie, what can't you think about? Why are you seeking death? Isn't it good to live?"

The old woman looked at Ling Xiaoxiao, dumbfounded. It took her a while to regain her composure. She knelt on the ground with a bang and cried loudly: "Fairy, why are you saving me? I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live anymore."

It makes no sense anymore. My husband is dead, and now my son is also dead. What am I still doing in this world... Please let me die, I beg you!"

Ling Xiaoxiao knelt down, helped the old woman sit under the willow tree next to her, and said comfortingly: "Auntie, my condolences, be it your husband or your children, they in heaven will not want to see you like this...

"

The old woman quietly looked at Ling Xiaoxiao's outfit, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she burst into tears: "They... they were killed by traitors, pity me... I can only watch.

Seeing that the traitor is at large, but I can't avenge them and let their souls rest in peace in heaven, I...I can only die!"
