CHAPTER XXXV Tang Yin is also worried, if the elected alliance leader is too popular, too capable, and governs the Ranger Alliance too well, then can the Ranger Alliance be disbanded after the headwind is over, if the Ranger Alliance is allowed to exist for a long time and continue to grow and develop, won't it not take long to form a force that can compete with the imperial court, which is greater than the threat of the headwind, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Through the conversation with Sui An and observing the reactions of the many rangers present, Tang Yin had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter whether Zhang Dong could become the leader of the alliance or not, at least Zhou Kuan of Baihuitang must not be allowed to sit on the position of the leader of the alliance.
Tang Yin also wanted to ask more about the situation of the gangs, but Sui An lacked interest in this topic, and kept talking about what kind of business Tang Yin did.
Tang Yin has seen a lot of such people, and he hates them very much, so he will not talk much after a few words.
Sui An was gushing questions on the side, and seeing Tang Yin's unhappy face, Jiang Fan and the others understood, and they all stood up and said, "Childe, we should go." ” "En" Tang Yin nodded, smiled at Sui An, and said, "Brother Sui, we'll meet again in the future" After speaking, he ignored Sui An's reaction and strode out.
Looking at the back of Tang Yin and his party leaving, Sui An reacted for a while, and after a long time of talking, he didn't get any benefits, and he was angry and felt that he couldn't get off the stage, he slapped the table heavily, and said to the rangers around him: "I don't think they seem to be doing legitimate business, maybe it's just a group of bandits."
Just now, he was talking and laughing with Tang Yin, as if he was a friend who had a good relationship, but now that Tang Yin had just left on his front foot, he insisted that they were bandits, this is the capriciousness of the ranger, two-faced and three-faced.
Laiyang, an important town in Lingnan County.
Laiyang is a medium-sized city, the area is not large, the total population of the whole city and the surrounding areas is about 200,000, there is no agriculture, but the handicraft industry is developed, the business is prosperous, it is located between the wind and the land of Ningdi, the wind army is currently wearing a large part of the armor, military uniforms are produced in Laiyang.
When Tang Yin and his entourage arrived in Laiyang, it was much more lively than usual, and the Fengren Ranger Ranger Assembly chose to be near Laiyang, which invisibly also drove the business of Laiyang, not only a large number of rangers poured into the city, but also a large number of businessmen who smelled business opportunities rushed over, for a time, the grand occasion in Laiyang City was unprecedented, and the bustling crowds and caravans could be seen everywhere.
The location of the rangers' meeting is in the Valley of Ten Thousand Mounds, twenty miles southwest of Laiyang, where it is said to have been an ancient battlefield, where the first Wind King fought against the enemy when he expanded outward, and many people died.
Of course, rumors are rumors, and most rangers don't believe it.
After entering the city, Tang Yin didn't want to alarm the local government, and he didn't live in the hotel, so he planned to find an inn to settle down first.
But now it is too difficult to find an inn in Laiyang, the inns of all sizes in the city are overcrowded, Tang Yin and his party entered the city in the morning, and they did not find an inn for them to live in the afternoon.
On the street, everywhere as far as the eye can see, there are tourists and vendors, Tang Yin is also more and more upset, he sits on the horse and looks up, and finds that there is a large inn with a spacious façade on the side of the road not far away, there are more than a dozen stakes for tying horses outside, and the wine on the first floor is very lively, and the fragrance of food wafts out from time to time.
Tang Yin said to Shangguan Yuanwu beside him: "Yuanwu, we will live in this inn.
He didn't use a consultative tone, but an affirmative tone.
When he went out, Shangguan Yuanwu had always been in charge of money, he understood what Tang Yin meant, nodded, and responded: "It's Gongzi" Tang Yin and his entourage entered the inn, and as soon as they got close, a guy should step forward and ask with a smile: "A few guest officers, what to eat?"
"We live in a hotel," Shangguan Yuanwu said.
The guy shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry officer, but the rooms in our hotel are full."
Knowing that there would be such an answer, Shangguan Yuanwu didn't talk nonsense with him, turned around and walked to the counter, looked at a middle-aged man who was keeping accounts inside, and asked, "You are the shopkeeper of this inn."
Hearing the words, the middle-aged man put down the account book, raised his head, and looked at Shangguan Yuanwu in puzzlement.
Shangguan Yuanwu put the package he was carrying on the counter, and made a loud bang, he took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels from the package, pushed it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "There are seven of us, staying in the hotel." ” The shopkeeper looked at the silver ingot, then at Shangguan Yuanwu, and finally his eyes fell on the guy.
The man hurriedly explained: "Shopkeeper, I have already said that the guest room is full, but this guest officer ignores me" Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, Shangguan Yuanwu took out another silver ingot and said, "Just two rooms." ” The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk about two rooms, even one room is not there, my store has been full a few days ago." ” Shangguan Yuanwu stared at the shopkeeper for a moment, then took out a silver ingot again, and said, "Thirty taels of silver, two rooms."
"Guest officer, it's not a matter of more money and less money, but the store really doesn't have it."
Before he finished speaking, with two snapping sounds, Shangguan Yuanwu shot out two more silver ingots, and this time, there were as many as fifty taels of silver on the counter.
Not to mention that the guy on the side was dumbfounded, even the well-informed shopkeeper was stunned, he couldn't help but peek at Shangguan Yuanwu, and then look at Tang Yin and the others behind him, and inhaled secretly, although these people were dressed ordinarily, the temperament exuded by their bodies was extraordinary, and they threw out fifty taels of silver when they made a move, and they didn't blink their eyes, they were definitely not ordinary people.
The shopkeeper was intimidated by Shangguan Yuanwu's momentum, and was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "Okay, guest officer, I'll help you think of a way."
As he spoke, he handed the guy to him, whispered for a while, and then said to Shangguan Yuanwu: "Guest officer, the guest rooms in this hotel are indeed full, and there is no reason for us to open the door to do business, so can a few guest officers be wronged and live in the next person's room temporarily, I will let the guys give up two rooms to a few guest officers." ” Shangguan Yuanwu was very dissatisfied with such an answer, his eyebrows raised, and he was about to speak, Tang Yin stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, the shopkeeper also has his difficulties, we can have a place to live." ” Tang Yin spoke, Shangguan Yuanwu didn't fight anymore, nodded and said, "It's Gongzi" After shopping for most of the day, Tang Yin and his party finally used money to smash out a place to stay.
Then, a few people found an empty table in the lobby on the first floor and sat down, and asked the guys to bring wine and food.
The craftsmanship of this inn is good, and the taste of the food is authentic, and the color and flavor are complete.
Tang Yin looked at the tourists outside the window while eating, shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there are so many rangers in my wind country, but every time a military order is issued, there are only a handful of rangers who sign up" And they are all not strong shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
This is what annoys Tang Yin the most.
Cheng Jin said: "The ranger has always pretended to be high, and would rather starve and freeze than contribute to the imperial court. ” Shangguan Yuanwu continued: "In fact, the ranger looks down on the court in his bones, thinking that working hard for the court is equivalent to being an eagle dog of the court and being disgraced. ” "Hmph" Tang Yin sneered, and said with a sharp gaze: "Like this, it's not a pity to die."
There was nothing to say that day, Tang Yin and the others stayed at the inn.
Originally, everyone planned to let Tang Yin live in one room by himself, and the others shared another room, but Tang Yin was not so particular, so he insisted on pulling the Shangguan brothers to his own room.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Tang Yin was woken up by the noise outside.
He got out of bed with a frown, pushed open the window, and looked out, only to see that there were many people in groups on the street, all walking in one direction, pointing and pointing as they went, not knowing what they were saying.
"King, what's wrong" Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao also walked to the window with sleepy eyes, and looked out.
"Hell knows."
Tang Yin, who was completely sleepy, muttered, grabbed his clothes, put them on his body, shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ” A very important purpose for Tang Yin to Laiyang is to see the excitement, and of course he doesn't want to miss it now.
Brother Shangguan hurriedly got dressed and followed Tang Yin out of the room.
As soon as they came out, the door next to them also opened, and Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin, and Ah San and Ah Si walked out of it.
Tang Yin beckoned to them and asked, "Do you know what's going on outside?"
Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "I heard that it looks like a dead person, but it's not clear what is going on." ” Dead man Tang Yin frowned, Laiyang has gathered so many rangers, and it is normal for there to be a fight between them, and the dead person can't figure out the reason, he didn't ask any more, and silently quickened his pace.

Outside the inn, Tang Yin and others walked in the direction of the east of the city with the flow of people, not for a long time, they were close to the east gate of Laiyang, and when they arrived here, there were more people gathered, a large area of black pressure, not to mention hundreds of people, people all looked up, and pointed to the city from time to time, whispering.
Following everyone's line of sight, Tang Yin and the others also raised their eyes, and after seeing it clearly, everyone gasped.
Directly above the city gate, there was a corpse, the corpse's clothes were tattered, covered with large and small cuts, dripping with blood, like a blood gourd, he was nailed to the city wall by a knife through the chest, and at the foot of the corpse hung a long strip of cloth, with a line of red blood written in blood: The position of the leader of the alliance is bound to be obtained, and those with different aspirations will hang the corpse here It can be seen from this line of words that the murderer must be one of the people who compete for the leader of the alliance, and the one who died is likely to be the person who opposed him as the leader of the alliance.
"It's Li Yan, that's the branch master of the Holy Hall, Li Yan" I don't know who called out the name and identity of the deceased in the crowd, and the crowd of onlookers exploded.
The fact that the branch master of the Templar was killed, and the murderer cruelly hung the body on the city gate, is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the Templar:
