Hearing Cheng Hui's words, Ouyang Ye's calm face showed a little surprise.

Not a surprise.

For Ouyang Ye, the Shennong Gang is already the meat at his mouth and can be eaten with his mouth open.

He didn't take action before, just because it took some time to unify the Babei Green Forest, but later he encountered the Wushan Sect's affairs.

Now that he has eliminated the Wushan Sect, his power is even stronger. He originally wanted to stabilize the territory of Wu County next year, and sent a letter to Sima Yutang and directly asked Sima Yutang to join the Shennong Gang.

Unexpectedly, the other party encountered an unexpected accident and was about to die.

Cheng Hui was disappointed when he saw Ouyang Ye being surprised and without any joy.

At this time, Ouyang Ye asked again: "But the Shennong Gang is unstable?"

Cheng Hui immediately raised his spirit and said, "Yes. Although Sima Yutang is nearly forty years old, his two children are not young, his daughter is twelve, and his son is only six years old. Therefore, during this period, several masters of the Shennong Gang were making trouble because of who inherited the position of the gang leader."

Ouyang Ye couldn't help but smile and thought, isn't this the situation of the Shenmu Gang at the beginning?

Seeing Ouyang Ye laughing, Cheng Hui said boldly again: "Gang Master, I think it is a great opportunity for us to annex the Shennong Gang at this time. Now the gang leader's reputation for destroying the Wushan Sect has been passed back to Babei for many days, and his power is absolutely unique. Just go to Shennong Gang and the masters under Sima Yutang will definitely bow their heads and submit!"

After saying this, Cheng Hui thought he would get Ouyang Ye’s praise, but he never thought that the smile on Ouyang Ye’s face was gone. Sitting there in silence made him feel uneasy, and even wondered if he had said the wrong thing.

Ouyang Ye was silent, but he was thinking that Cheng Hui was ambitious and lucky, but his knowledge was a little bit poor.

With his current power, where does the Shennong Gang need to go there in person?

Send a third realm to send a letter. As long as the Shennong Gang is not disbanded, there is only one way to join.

When he came back to his senses, Ouyang Ye saw Cheng Hui standing there a little uneasy, and said, "You can find out this news, which means that you did not slacken when Yu Si and I were not here. The Rain Department should have opened up the situation initially. In this way, I will remember you the third-class merit once and reward you with a hundred taels of silver."

The system of merit and crime established by Ouyang Ye was introduced into the Shenmu Gang as early as when Yang Erqing returned to Babei. Chen Yan, Yang Erqing, Zhang Susu and Fu Lansheng began to implement it in the gang.

Although the Yumen is not governed by the four, Cheng Hui is a thoughtful person and has also known this system.

Therefore, when Ouyang Ye gave him the first third-class merit in the gang, he was so excited that he knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for the reward of the gang leader!"

Ouyang Ye frowned and said, "Get up. You are my subordinate, not a slave. Don't kneel down at any time. If your bones are soft, how can I feel assured to let you do things in a confidential department like the Rain Department?"

Although Ouyang Ye's words meant to be scolded, Cheng Hui was moved after hearing this, and then subconsciously compared Ouyang Ye with Xiang Yunfeng.

Then he spat inwardly and thought to himself: I am really confused. What is Xiang Yunfeng? How can he compare with a hero like a gang leader?

"Thank you, Gang Master!" Thank you again, Cheng Hui stood up quickly, his backbone straightened a lot.

At this time, a group of people quickly came to the front of the hall and reported: "Gang leader, Lin Wen, deputy leader of the Shennong Gang, begged to see him!"

Ouyang Ye felt a little moved when he heard this, and had a guess about Lin Wenyang's purpose of coming here, so he said to the gang: "Take him here."

"yes!"

Although Yu Si and Cheng Hui were curious about why Lin Wenyang came to visit Ouyang Ye, they knew that this matter was not what they should have participated, so they immediately bowed to Ouyang Ye.

The subordinates who do intelligence should not have had more contact with outsiders and other subordinates, so Ouyang Ye nodded and let the two of them withdraw.

After a while, Lin Wenyang was led to the conference hall.

This middle-aged scholar with a sword was obviously more haggard than when he came to see Ouyang Ye last time, and there was a trace of indelible sorrow between his eyebrows.

"Lin Wenyang pays homage to Ouyang Gang Leader."

Ouyang Yeduan sat in the main seat and asked loudly: "What's the matter with you here? You won't have to send someone to take over Jiangbei territory again?"

Ouyang Ye’s words were a bit joking, but Lin Wenyang showed surprise and clasped his fists and said, “The leader of the Ouyang Gang is like a god. I came here this time to ask the leader to send someone to take over the territory. But it is not just the land of Jiangbei, but the entire territory of the Shennong Gang!”

Ouyang Ye was a little surprised, but did not show it on his face, but narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You want to turn from Sima Yutang to join my Shenmu Gang?"

Lin Wenyang heard this and looked angry and raised his voice, "Although I, Lin Wenyang, cannot be successful in martial arts, I am definitely not a person who cares for honor. I also ask the Ouyang Gangmaster not to insult me!"

This man looks quite honest.

Ouyang Ye discovered one advantage of Lin Wenyang.

So he asked, "Since you are not the one who cares for honor, how could you come and ask me to take over all the territory of the Shennong Gang?"

Lin Wenyang's face faded, his sad face became even worse, and his voice was deeper: "It was the gang leader who asked me to come... Our gang leader was infected with a strange poison, and there was no medicine to relieve it. He was already alive. In order to compete for the gang leader's qualifications, several gang leaders fought openly and secretly, making my Shennong Gang a mess."

"The gang leader is worried that his children will not have a good end after he dies. He also thinks of the reputation of Ouyang Gang, so he wants to join the gang leader, just asking the gang leader to protect his children."

Hearing these words, Ouyang Ye couldn't help but think of his father Ouyang Hu and sighed secretly: I feel sorry for my parents in the world.

So he looked at Lin Wenyang and said, "If so, I can accept his support. In this way, I will send a decent subordinate to you with you. One way to help the Sima Gang leader stabilize the internal situation of the Shennong Gang, and the other way to escort the Sima Gang leader's children to Jitang Pass in the future."

Lin Wenyang did not thank him, but hesitated a little and said, "Our gang leader wants to see Ouyang gang leader, and he can only be assured to entrust his children with this."

Ouyang Ye frowned when he heard this.

On the one hand, he doubted Sima Yutang's poisoning was purely because he didn't want to go to Jiangbei.

"You go down first, I'll think about it and then reply to you." Ouyang Ye waved his hand.

Lin Wenyang saw Ouyang Ye’s doubts, but did not say anything, but honestly responded and withdrew from a gang member.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Ye invited Chen Yan and Zhang Susu talked about this, wanting to hear the opinions of the two.

Zhang Susu spoke quickly and said, "I will go with the leader of the gang. If his Shennong Gang really has any conspiracy, we will kill him without leaving any armor!"

Chen Yan pondered, "Sima Yutang must have heard of how good the gang leader is. If he really wants to design a murderer, there must be a way to deal with the gang leader. So I think it is better to be cautious and send someone to see the situation before making a decision."

Before in Wu County, Ouyang Ye followed Yang Kun to the residence of Qingmai. He held the Tianfu scroll needed for Qingmai in his hand. He also had a lot of understanding of Qingmai, so he went there. It was not because he intended to be generous.

In addition, even after he went, he did not draw a drop of water in the clear meridian, and he did not even sit in the room for a long time, avoiding the possibility of clear meridian poisoning him.

Ouyang Ye knew very little about the Shennong Gang, and he also had some doubts about the information Cheng Hui had heard before.

If he was careless because of the weak superficial strength of the Shennong Gang, it would be a joke.

But if he only sent his subordinates to him, it would seem that he lacked courage and courage.

After thinking about it, he said, "It's better to do this. I took Wan Chu and Fu Lansheng to Lingmu Town, where the head of the Shennong Gang, and then chose a place for Sima Yutang to see me. In this way, Sima Yutang would not be able to do anything because the distance was too far away; and we could avoid being ambushed by them."

Chen Yan smiled and praised: "The leader of the gang is wise, it is indeed more appropriate to do this."

Ouyang Ye looked at Chen Yan's smiling look and couldn't help but think that the old man had probably thought of this method a long time ago, and just deliberately left it to him.

Zhang Susu next to him was eager to try and said: "Why might as well take me with you, as many people will take care of you."

Ouyang Ye saw that Zhang Susu was a little tired of being stunned at Jitang Pass, but he was worried that he would not have the third realm to conquer him, so he shook his head and said, "Master Zhang should stay in Jitang Pass, you are still indispensable here."

Zhang Susu's expression was unhappy, but she could only respond: "Yes."

That afternoon, Ouyang Ye sent someone to the county town to recruit Fu Lansheng. The next morning, he took Fu Lansheng and Wan Chu with Lin Wenyang to Jiangbei.

When he arrived near Lingmu Town, Ouyang Ye stopped and said to Lin Wenyang: "I won't go to the head of the Shenmu Gang. If the Sima Master really wants to accept me, he will meet me outside the town."

Ouyang Ye's move was obviously beyond Lin Wenyang's expectations, but he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and report this to the gang leader."

After saying that, he walked towards Lingmu Town.

Fu Lansheng was signaled by Ouyang Ye to chase after him, and met Lin Wenyang's surprised gaze, and smiled slightly, "I will accompany Deputy Gang Leader Lin to avoid suspicion from your brothers."

Lin Wenyang knew that Fu Lansheng's move was still in charge of supervision, but he was not angry, so he nodded and agreed.

What he is worried about now is whether Sima Yutang's body can support him and see Ouyang Ye.
