Chapter 31
After more than a year, Bai Shier once again became a little beggar.
And unlike the last time she was clean, this time Bai Shier looked different from the ordinary beggars in the city in both dressing and clothes.
The Zhenhai Gang Zong Hall is in Quanzhou Prefecture City. Its status is actually different from that of the government and county governments, so basically no one dares to provoke him. Therefore, there are basically no pedestrians near the Zhenhai Gang Zong Hall. Except for the Zhenhai Gang members who look fierce and vicious, there are no one else coming and going from time to time.
However, not far from Zhenhai Gang Hall, everything is still the same.
Shops, pedestrians, and beggars all over the city.
Bai Shier, who wanted to monitor the Zhenhai Gang General Hall nearby but did not attract the attention of Zhenhai Gang, finally chose to return to his "old business".
Speaking of which, Bai Shier was able to successfully become a beggar thanks to the Zhenhai Gang.
...
Although the Beggars' Sect has long been disintegrated, its vitality has not diminished at all. On the contrary, because there are no "rules and frames" above the head, the Beggars' Sect has grown stronger and stronger. However, it is the Beggars' Sect that is scattered and can no longer be integrated into the Beggars' Sect.
As the largest city in Quanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Funing Road, beggars are naturally indispensable in Quanzhou Prefecture. With a large number of beggars, the Beggars' Sect is naturally indispensable.
If time is pushed forward, twenty years ago, the Beggars' Gang was actually the most powerful gang in the entire Quanzhou Prefecture City. At that time, the Zhenhai Gang was just established and was still a small gang that could only be bullied.
It was not until fifteen years ago that Chao Wangtian, a second-rate master who emerged from somewhere, became the new leader of the Zhenhai Gang, that the Zhenhai Gang gradually grew and grew.
But Quanzhou Fucheng is so big in total, and its interests are limited. When the Zhenhai Gang grew, it was just embezzling the interests of other small gangs. However, when the Zhenhai Gang slowly developed into a large gang in the entire Quanzhou Fucheng, this "emerging force" naturally had direct conflicts and conflicts with the "old forces" led by the Beggars' Sect.
However, just when most people think that the emerging Zhenhai Gang will weaken under the suppression of a group of "old" gangs such as the Beggars' Gang, and even disappear directly, the Zhenhai Gang seems to have a helping god. In less than three years, it turned into a turn and became the largest gang in the entire Quanzhou Prefecture City. After more than ten years of development, it finally became the largest gang in the entire Funing Road.
The birth of the new king is always accompanied by the collapse of the old world.
Since the Zhenhai Gang, which had been suppressed before, can develop into the largest gang in Quanzhou Prefecture City, the outcome of the gangs that were enemies of the Zhenhai Gang can naturally be imagined.
The backbone died and the escaped. Most of the remaining gang members either escaped back to the countryside and dared not show up, or they fell to their knees and chose to join the Zhenhai gang.
As the largest gang in Quanzhou City, the Beggars' Sect, its fate was much better than that of other gangs.
However, this is not because the Zhenhai Gang is kind or the Zhenhai Gang is afraid of the strength of the Beggars' Sect, but because of something that everyone knows very well.
Beggars will never be eliminated.
As long as there are beggars, they will inevitably gather together. When the time is ripe, a new Beggars' Sect will still be formed.
Therefore, the Zhenhai Gang did not completely wipe out the Beggar Gang like he did when dealing with other gangs, but only solved the big leaders of the Beggar Gang, and then left behind many small leaders to fight each other and divide them into smaller small Beggar Gangs again.
Because I have been worried that the Beggars' Sect will rekindle over the years, the Zhenhai Sect will always suppress the slightly stronger ones and support the weakest ones.
The purpose is to ensure that the Beggars' Sect will always be dispersed as it is now.
And the forces of the Zhenhai Gang were afraid of the forces, so they naturally did not dare to have beggars near the Zhenhai Gang Hall to establish the so-called Beggars' Sect. This has always been the last safe haven for beggars who were bullied by other beggars in other parts of the city.
Therefore, when he saw Bai Shier, the little beggar who came to his heart, the other beggars had no doubts, but they just felt that another colleague who was competing for food with them came, and they were a little unhappy.
However, they only dared to think about it in their hearts. As for joining forces to bully Bai Shier, the newcomer, or even joining forces to drive Bai Shier away, they would not dare to do anything like this.
Because they knew that as long as they dared to do this, it would be fine if they were not discovered by the Zhenhai Gang. Once they were discovered, all of them would be directly driven out of Quanzhou Prefecture by the Zhenhai Gang.
Although beggars have a very fast "update" speed and will basically "innovate" a generation in one winter, they still have the kind of "old qualifications" that can survive several winters.
In order not to be implicated, they will prevent others from turning this idea into reality as experienced people.
One more person will indeed make life more difficult, but being hungry is better than being driven out of Quanzhou Prefecture and starving to death.
...
Bai Shier, who didn't know that he had benefited from the Zhenhai Gang's constant defense against the Beggars' Sect, was safe and worry-free to pretend to be a beggar surveillance. He was originally thinking about how to shock these beggars without attracting attention, but after a day, he was surprised to find that no one came to trouble him, which made him suspicious.
Because according to his past experience, whenever he finds a "newcomer", the leader of the Beggar Gang who originally occupied this place will definitely come to teach him the "rules" here and tell him that he has to pay a "pull" of a few cents to stay here and beg for a begging. If he dares not agree, he will immediately punch and kick.
Until you surrender or be beaten to death.
Even if there has not been a certain class of Beggars' Sect here, the original "old men" will definitely come to warn him, the newcomer, and let him abide by the rules here.
How could he have been here for most of the day without any movement?
This is not consistent with common sense!
...
Not to mention Bai Shier, who was shocked and suspicious, Chao Wangtian had already brought Fang Ritu into the gate of Quanzhou Prefecture City.
Speaking of which, even Chao Wangtian did not expect that Hua Linlang, who dared to kill his son, not only did not escape from Quanzhou Prefecture, but also dared to continue to stay in Quanzhou Prefecture with a swagger.
So when he just heard Mu Yixing tell him where Hua Linlang was at this time, he instantly felt that he might have been hallucinating.
After repeated inquiries and confirmation, after confirming that Mu Yixing was talking about Quanzhou Prefecture City, he still felt an unreality in his heart as if he was falling from clouds.
Even Chao Wangtian, a local snake, is like this, let alone Fang Ritu.
When he saw Chao Wangtian leading him to Quanzhou Prefecture City, he felt that Chao Wangtian just wanted to go back and rest for a night, and then set off tomorrow after raising his energy.
But when Chao Wangtian pointed to a railing in front of him and told him that Hua Linlang was in it, his face, which had been as unchanging as an iceberg, suddenly changed color.
Just like Chao Wangtian, even though he had known from Mu Yixing that Hua Linlang was in Quanzhou Prefecture, he never thought that Hua Linlang really dared to hide. No, the other party did not hide at all, but appeared openly in the tram and even dared to perform on stage.
For a moment, he even felt that Chao Wangtian or Mu Yixing was lying to him, just wanted to find a target to give him an answer, and then he would tell him the real answer after Kang Jinlong came back with a thousand taels of silver.
However, he immediately overturned the idea.
After all, Ruomu Yixing really thought this way, and there was no need to use this target that would inevitably cause shock and doubt. He could find any target in Quanzhou Prefecture that would not cause him to doubt.
"Do you go in and take a look now? Confirm Hua Linlang's identity?"
When he heard Chao Wangtian speak, he even confirmed in his heart that Mu Yixing did not deceive himself, and that Hua Linlang was really in this tramp.
Because he saw that Chao Wangtian's expression was even more tempting than himself, it was obvious that even Chao Wangtian himself had known the news for the first time, and he was full of distrust of the news just like himself, so he wanted to go in and take a look immediately and witness it with his own eyes.
"Forget it."
But Fang Ritu refused Chao Wangtian's suggestion without thinking.
"Even if I know Hua Linlang's identity now, it is obviously unlikely that I can capture the other party alive by myself. Instead, I will alert the enemy. I can't escape 1,200 taels of silver to pay the bill for this impulse. Moreover, even if I am lucky enough to catch Hua Linlang, I can't take him away. Why take risks?"
The reason why Kang Jinlong chose to let Fang Ritu stay was that he went back to report to Qinglong by himself, was largely because Fang Ritu's calm mind.
He knew in his heart that even if he stayed himself, he might encounter impulsive behavior because he was not calm enough.
But Fang Ritu doesn't. No matter what situation or location, he firmly believes that Fang Ritu will make the most reasonable and safest decision, just like what happened here and now.
"Okay, you're the one who paid for it."
Chao Wangtian was a little disappointed. He wanted to persuade Fang Ritu, but after seeing Fang Ritu's firm eyes, he knew that he could not shake his heart, so he swallowed the persuasion back into his stomach.
"Since that's the case, I wonder if Brother Fang will go back to the inn first, or go back to my Zhenhai Gang Hall with me to stay temporarily?"
However, with his eyes turned, Chao Wangtian spoke again and asked Fang Ritu politely.
He took out two hundred taels without blinking, and immediately agreed without hesitation after hearing the price of 1,000 taels of silver offered by Mu Yixing. In Chao Wangtian's opinion, Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong are not short of money, at least their sects are not short of money. Therefore, he wanted to "contact" with Fang Ritu to see if he could get in touch with Fang Ritu and his sect, and also give some benefits to the Zhenhai Gang.
Human desires are endless.
When he just grabbed the position of gang leader from the previous Zhenhai Gang leader fifteen years ago, what Chao Wangtian thought was to make the Zhenhai Gang grow and grow. However, after meeting Mu Yixing and successfully making the Zhenhai Gang one of the major gangs in Quanzhou Prefecture, his ambition in his heart expanded to becoming the largest gang in Quanzhou Prefecture, and then, naturally, the entire Funing Road.
And when all these ambitions were realized one by one, and the Zhenhai Gang had not developed much in the past ten years, he himself broadened his horizons because of Mu Yixing's, and his ambitions expanded again.
More importantly, he was unwilling to continue to be a puppet controlled by Mu Yixing, and he was eager to get rid of Mu Yixing.
Fang Ritu, Kang Jinlong, and the sect behind him who are rich and powerful, and this time he will definitely be dissatisfied with Mu Yixingxin, will become the targets he wants to use.
Moreover, even if Fang Ritu and the other two were unable to use Mu Yixing to get rid of Mu Yixing, Chao Wangtian also thought it was very good as long as he could get in touch with the sect where Fang Ritu was.
But what Chao Wangtian didn't know was that Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong didn't know was that Mu Yixing, who Chao Wangtian wanted to get rid of, actually belonged to the same sect as Fang Ritu and Kang Jinlong he wanted to use.
...
"Haha, the people of Dongjitian are really getting back and forth. Now it takes so much effort to deal with a small Hua Linlang, and they even take out more than a thousand taels of white silver."
In a small Taoist temple in Santai Mountain, several people dressed in Taoist priests were sitting and chatting in the main hall.
He actually dared to chat unscrupulously in front of the ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty in front of the temple where he recited scriptures and meditated. These people are naturally not real Taoist priests.
"Hey, you don't know this, I heard that Dongjitian has been upset by a mere person in the past six months. The seven star masters under Qinglong's command were seriously injured, and only the two who went up the mountain today are barely alive."
"Hmph, I deserve it! Lord Huanglong is kind enough to help the Qinglong, but the Qinglong actually deliberately framed the Beidou star king because he was afraid that Lord Huanglong would steal his territory, causing the Tianlang Star Lord to die tragically."
...
This small Taoist temple is the foundation of Mu Yixing in Santai Mountain and the entire Quanzhou Prefecture.
It is also the center of Huang Long, the central official of Tianyan Sect, scattered in Quanzhou Prefecture and even the entire Fujian Provincial Administration.
And Mu Yixing is the leader here.
On the surface, he was the master of this small Taoist temple, but his true identity was the Taisui Xingjun under Huang Long's command, and the area he was in charge of was the entire Fujian Provincial Administration.
Just like in Dongjitian, Huanglong always wanted to replace Qinglong with his confidant. In Nanjitian, he also always wanted to replace Zhuque with his confidant.
Mu Yixing was his confidant to replace Zhuque.
Moreover, unlike the water from Dongjitian that cannot be poured into it, it is difficult to make progress. In Anjitian, Huanglong’s progress is very good.
Of course, this is also because, more than ten years ago, before he became Huanglong, he had already won over Mu Yixing, who was only among the twelve earthly branches at that time, and gave him the greatest support, allowing him to enter Quanzhou Prefecture, a place where the power of Zhuque under the army was empty.
Mu Yixing did not disappoint his expectations. With the help of the Zhenhai Gang under Chao Wangtian, he successfully controlled the entire Quanzhou Prefecture and even Funing Road while hiding himself.
Therefore, more than ten years later, when he successfully succeeded to the throne and became Huanglong, he immediately promoted Mu Yixing to Taisui Star Lord and acted as the pioneer of eroding Nanjitian under Zhuque's men in Funing Dao.
Therefore, when the Tianyan Sect people under his command saw the masks of Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu, they immediately knew their identities.
