In a villa in Hedong City, a middle-aged man in pajamas paced restlessly in the room like an ant on a hot pot.

The middle-aged man did not look very good, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously not sleep-deprived. It's no wonder that he didn't fall asleep until dawn, and was woken up by a phone call before eight o'clock, and sleep deprivation was certain.

No one knows the real name of the middle-aged man except for a few people who have known him for a long time, but they all know that his surname is Liu, and they usually call him Lao Liu'er when they meet.

This is a bit strange, but people who often come and go on the black market are not surprised, and no one on the black market comes out with their real names, at most they can report a surname for convenience. As an important leader of the 10,000-character black market in Hedong City, Lao Liu'er naturally will not expose his real name and surname to everyone.

Whenever there is a black market, it has its own prefix. This prefix is very arbitrary, basically the founder of the black market can use whatever prefix he wants, but once this prefix is determined, this is a signboard, unless the black market falls or is flattened or the original ruler is usurped, otherwise this prefix will not be changed.

The 10,000-character black market has been based in Hedong City for a long time, and its roots are not here, but it is rich and powerful, and it firmly controls the black market transactions in Hedong City and several surrounding cities.

Some time ago, there was a man named Bai Peng in Hedong City who had been operating locally for decades, and he wanted to open a black market, but he was still demolished by the 10,000-character black market as an outsider.

It's not that the Raptors are not the river, that's true. For those who are engaged in antiques in Hedong City and surrounding cities, the 10,000-character black market is the dragon that crosses the river.

It's just that now this Raptor, there is a problem.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

The mobile phone that Lao Liu'er had been holding in his hand rang, he looked at the phone number, hurriedly answered the phone, and asked eagerly: "How is it?" What do those buyers say?...... What?!"

Listening to the reply from the other side of the phone, Lao Liu'er's voice raised more than one level: "Didn't you tell them that it had nothing to do with us?...... Tell them, we can't do this kind of thing because of such a thing...... Said it too?...... Good...... Good. ”

Lao Liu'er closed her eyes, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and sat down on the boss's chair very tiredly. He rubbed his swollen and aching temples and whispered, "Go check ...... Find out who did it, and find out for me...... Go ahead. ”

Hanging up the phone, Lao Liu'er looked at the mobile phone in his hand, smiled strangely, and then the color on his face changed instantly, and with a wave of his hand, he swept all the things on the table in front of him to the ground.

After a bang, the anger in Lao Liu'er's heart seemed to ease a lot. He then dropped the phone in his hand on the table, leaned limply against the back of the chair, and gently rubbed his swollen temples.

It all started with the phone call that woke him up this morning. Just half an hour ago, a phone call from Huayin City woke up Lao Liu'er, and then told him a piece of news that made him tremble: last night, someone contacted the official power through Lao Liu'er's acquaintances in Huayin City, and set up a card at the entrance of Huayin City at night to check the vehicles. The reason seems to be that there is such a black market involving a large number of people held in Huayin City, and Huayin City also believes it because the news was brought by Lao Liu'er's acquaintance.

There is no real effect on the check, and there is no vehicle carrying many antiques that has been found, which can be said to be futile.

This news was also just obtained by Lao Liu'er's acquaintance in the ** agency in Huayin City, and he intuitively felt that this news was wrong, so he quickly told Lao Liu'er the news.

It's not just wrong, it's a disaster.

The so-called rivers and lakes have their own set of rules for doing things. The first and foremost of these rules, which is unconditionally observed, is that no matter what happens, no matter what happens, it will not be notified. If the official gets the news, it is two theories, but we must not seek help from the official because of any problem that arises in the struggle between the two sides, still less can we use the power of the official to attack our colleagues who are also "people from the rivers and lakes."

This is the primary rule, and it is also the thunder pool in the rivers and lakes, and no one dares to blatantly cross this rule. As long as this line is crossed, it is the one who steps on it and who dies, and no one will have any business cooperation with this kind of force again. No matter how much prestige or power, it's all the same.

Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is to "be known" to do so. If no one knew, it would be calm and fine. Having said that, how can those who have gone astray in the climate have nothing to do with the official face on the ground? If they do not have a good relationship with the official face in these years, they will die by themselves and will not be able to survive at all.

But if there is a relationship, there is a relationship, everyone knows this, and it will be fine. But borrowing official relationships to attack colleagues and then being known again, this is two different concepts from "having a relationship with officials".

Borrowing the power of the official's face to set up a card to check the vehicles coming and going, to check whether there are any vehicles with antiques...... Even if this rule is completely stepped on, there is no room for reversal. And what's even more terrifying is that if this practice is successful, it will implicate buyers on the black market, which is even worse.

In the end, the battle on the road is about fighting for money, but offending the buyer because of this is tantamount to cutting yourself off. Even if you win for a while, what if you don't have a buyer for the blackened antiques, who will you sell them to?

Lao Liu'er knew that there would be a black market in Huayin City, after all, Bai Peng's black market that had not yet taken shape was swept away by him. He also got the news from his own ears and eyes about when the black market would open. It's not that he didn't think about attacking Bai Peng's black market when the market opened and killing Bai Peng's face, but he didn't think about using this method at all.

This practice completely put the 10,000-character black market in Hedong City in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

Who could have done this? Lao Liu'er knew in his heart, but Lao Liu'er, who got the news, didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, but immediately asked people to contact those buyers who might have participated in the black market.

Reassuring these buyers and explaining that this matter is not their own order is the immediate priority, and the rest is not very important. But the results did not make Lao Liu'er feel at ease, but brought news that made him even more desperate.

……

Wang Kang likes to read the Three Kingdoms the most, but he doesn't like to start reading from the fold of the heroes, but likes to start reading from the side by side of the three families. When reading the Three Kingdoms, Wang Kang was quite emotional, if the world is in a state of competition, it is no different from a pot of porridge, but if there are only two big families in the world, it must be a fight to the death.

And the most balanced state is to restrain each other, and there is not much disparity in strength of the three-point state, each other restricts each other and cooperates, and then secretly tries to develop, pull out one and eat another, and win the final victory.

For Wang Kang, the world of Hedong City is not divided into three, but divided into two. On the one hand, there is the 10,000-character black market that crosses the river, and on the other hand, there is Bai Peng, who has almost a little bit of power and financial resources, but has been operating locally for many years and has connections. Wang Kang has seen the situation in the past few years, and the Wanzi Black Market and Bai Peng are secretly strengthening their strength, constantly merging small forces into their own hands, and competing with each other.

In this case, there will be no third force that can compete with Bai Peng and the Wanzi Black Market, because once there is such a sign, the two parties competing with each other will rush forward and work together to swallow up this force that may become a third party with the right to speak.

Wang Kang has his own ambitions, he wants to divide the world of Hedong City into three parts, and also take a piece of the pie in Hedong City. It's just that Wang Kang is not just ambitious but has no strategy, he is a smart person, so he pressed the ambition in his heart and was a good subordinate under Bai Peng.

Until Bai Peng was ready to start getting involved in the fundamental interests of the 10,000-character black market, he was ready to open a black market by himself, until the 10,000-character black market contacted him.

Wang Kang realized that the opportunity had come.

The conditions given by the 10,000-character black market are very clear, the 10,000-character black market provides funds for Wang Kang to lobby, as long as Wang Kang can take away some of Bai Peng's people and take away some of Bai Peng's buyers, and then defect to the 10,000-character black market, then Wang Kang can get a not low position in the 10,000-character black market. Lao Liu'er assured him that as long as Wang Kang could make Bai Peng damage his vitality, then he would be able to completely sweep Bai Peng out of Hedong City, and Wang Kang's position in Hedong City in the future would only be under him alone.

But Wang Kang, who has long been thinking about the world, where is he willing to be a subordinate.

So Wang Kang accepted the money from the 10,000-character black market and took away some of Bai Peng's subordinates, but he did not choose to defect to the 10,000-character black market, but made his own posture.

The 10,000-character black market, which knew that he had been trapped, naturally hated it, but the 10,000-character black market couldn't take care of Wang Kang for a while, so he could only hit Bai Peng's power in Hedong City first. However, because Wang Kang, who knew Bai Peng, was not on the side of the 10,000-character black market, although the blow of the 10,000-character black market to Bai Peng also made Bai Peng very uncomfortable, it was not to the point of completely sweeping Bai Peng out of Hedong City.

And Bai Peng, who was reversed by Wang Kang, also expected the actions of the 10,000-character black market before he made a move against him in the 10,000-character black market, and he really prepared for it. Under the mutual fight of the two parties, the 10,000-character black market did not catch Bai Peng off guard. Although it has also achieved certain results, it has also suffered some losses.

On the surface, the 10,000-character black market and Bai Peng fought each other and each had their own damages, Wang Kang set up his own faction, and the situation of Hedong City's three points in the world seemed to be decided. But Wang Kang knew that his own group of forces was just a tree without roots, and after Bai Peng and the Wanzi Black Market came to their senses, the first thing that the two sides cleaned up was Wang Kang, who betrayed both parties at the same time.

Wang Kang knew that he still needed a chance to really gain a foothold in Hedong City, and to really grab that piece of the world from Bai Peng and the 10,000-character black market.

Therefore, as a betrayer, Wang Kang found the 10,000-character black market again, and exchanged the news of "meeting with buyers before Baipeng opened the market" for cooperation with the 10,000-character black market, and volunteered to go to Huayin City with the manpower of the 10,000-character black market.
