Chapter 258: Hanzhou

"Congratulations to Brother Tang, one sword convinces the defeat of the Sword Sect, this time the hidden dragon list is updated, Brother Tang will definitely be able to rank in the top ten and show his style. ”

Xu Qing arched his hand towards Tang Yuan and said with a smile.

Tang Yuan shook his head slightly, but he didn't think that he would be convinced by Su defeat, and said lightly: "Su defeated and didn't lose, but he didn't have a full grasp, so he didn't make a move."

A character like him will never admit defeat easily, which will make the sword in his hand lose its indomitable and unbending sharpness. ”

What he said is reasonable, but today Brother Tang forced Wude to retreat with a tough attitude, which is bound to set off a storm in Jiangnan. ”

After a few people sat down, Xu Qing sincerely admired: "Although Wude is incomparable, it is also one of the benchmarks for Buddhism to walk in the rivers and lakes. It's just that in the future, Brother Tang may have a lot of trouble in Jiangnan. ”

"It's okay, it's just a move. Tang Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently.

Seeing that Tang Yuan didn't care, thinking that he had something to rely on, Xu Qing didn't say anything more.

Moreover, when Wude appeared just now, he didn't stand up to help Tang Yuan, and he couldn't help it.

Not only Xu Qing was confused in his heart, but Jiang Mo was not, the helper often taught them to be chivalrous and righteous, but if they didn't stand up for the first time today, they would inevitably violate the morality they had always adhered to in their hearts.

Therefore, neither of them said anything more.

It didn't take long for everyone to leave Shanyang County, but Tang Yuan didn't care much about the possible impact in the future.

After he breaks through the Yuan Shen Realm, Shaolin's threat to him will be greatly reduced, and he will not need to be vigilant all the time.

......

Jiangzhou, Hanzhou, Yangzhou three states form the land of the south of the Yangtze River, the south of the Yangtze River martial arts is prosperous, known as the holy land of martial arts, especially Yangzhou is the most, the Holy Son of Heaven has also spent a lot of money to go to Yangzhou, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou and recruit all kinds of martial arts talents in the rivers and lakes, to serve the imperial court;

Although Hanzhou is one of the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, it does not have the beautiful and rich water towns in the south of the Yangtze River like Yangzhou, and there are no so-called talented and beautiful women, and there are decent chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes.

They colluded with salt merchants and local governments to form a huge chain of interests, not only with the inability of the big forces in the rivers and lakes to support, but also with hundreds of officials, large and small, as protective umbrellas.

It is only because they control the private salt of the profiteering industry, and because the salt is a government-private partnership, there are not many corrupt and derelict officials, and the officials protect each other, and it is impossible to know how many people are involved in it.

Unless His Majesty personally ordered a thorough investigation, even if the Six Doors were to investigate this matter, it would inevitably be difficult and greatly hindered.

First of all, private salt is not in the jurisdiction of the six gates.

At the beginning, the purpose of setting up the Six Gates was to supervise the rivers and lakes, clamp down and balance the forces of all parties, and in addition to this, they were not allowed to interfere at will, unless ordered by Emperor Qian.

Therefore, this is also one of the reasons for the erosion of salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

And the three major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River contribute more silver to the imperial court every year than the imperial court's taxes, just ask, how can Emperor Qiandi be willing to move this cash cow?

In this way, a dead knot was formed, resulting in the current Jiangnan salt merchants, salt gangs, officials from all walks of life, Jianghu forces and even marching governors colluding with each other to form a terrifying secret alliance, involving the whole body.

Whoever dares to touch this profit cake will be destroyed in an instant, and there will be no place to bury him.

And the purpose of the Cangxing Dynasty was to let Tang Yuan enter Han and stir up the situation.

No matter what kind of chaos Jiangnan becomes, even if it becomes a pot of porridge, as long as it can tear a hole, Cangxing Chao can do it, collect evidence, and abolish the prince.

If it is known by others, I am afraid that Cangxing will suspect the ambition of the wolf.

As everyone knows, he is not to protect himself, but to protect the six gates.

"Brother Xu, you and I are about to step into the border of Hanzhou, you and I will be separated, and he will meet again in the future. When leaving the Jiangzhou realm, Tang Yuan arched his hand towards Xu Qing and said.

Xu Qing looked up, smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Tang, take care, he will see you again one day." ”

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, nodded to Jiang Mo's two beggar disciples, and galloped away with Hou Yuanqing and A Kang.

Looking at the back of Tang Yuan leaving, Jiang Mo said in a low voice: "This person's strength should not be underestimated, and he has made too fast progress. ”

"Haha, who's to say it's not?"

When Xu Qing heard this, he said with a smile: "Let's go too, I believe that there will be a goodbye day with him, and I am afraid that there will be another scenery at that time." ”

When the words fell, the three of them laughed and left in the other direction.

"Why did Brother Tang make friends with those three people?"

Hou Yuanqing held back all the way, and at this time, he and the three of them couldn't help but walk to Tang Yuan's side, and asked curiously.

Tang Yuan smiled and said, "The reason is very simple, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. ”

"Haha, this is not in line with Brother Tang's character. ”

Hou Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a loud laugh.

Tang Yuan thought for a moment and explained: "Brother Hou knows what our mission is for this trip, and the Beggar Gang and Daomen are the least likely to participate in the private salt business, so these two forces can win over the best, and if they can't win over, they can also form a good fate, maybe there will be unexpected gains." If we can get the help of the world's largest beggar gang, then it will be much easier. ”

"That's true. Hou Yuanqing nodded solemnly.

"Let's go, let's rush to the main city of Hanzhou, first go to the six doors of the yamen, Tang's appointment has come down, but the process may not be as smooth, but I am also a person who has come over, and I am still familiar with what to do." ”

In the end, Tang Yuan couldn't help but sneer.

Not only did Fang Minghuai remind him, but even Xiao Hongyun, who had only one side, warned him not to interfere too much in the affairs of Hanzhou, so as not to cause death.

It can be seen that the six gates of Hanzhou are not safe, but fortunately, Tang Yuan is not afraid to rely on it.

Not long after, Tang Yuan officially stepped into Hanzhou, the humidity was still relatively heavy, but the air was always mixed with a fishy smell, I don't know if it was bloody or fishy, it always gave people a sense of slaughter.

Hanzhou City.

Tang Yuan walked into Hanzhou City, and there were less so-called chivalrous warriors, but more recklessness in the rivers and lakes.

He was also born in a reckless background, and was often called a reckless, so Tang Yuan was extremely familiar with the blood-licking people of those low-level gangs.

These people are often vicious and vicious, but as long as you are more ruthless and evil than him, he will be cowardly. Begging for mercy, waiting for the opportunity to strike you a fatal blow when you let your guard down.

Therefore, to deal with such people, you can't give them any chance, and you must hit them fatally.

"Brother Tang, this place is better than Ningzhou. ”

Hou Yuanqing walked on the road and said with a smile: "However, it seems to be more dangerous, Hou can probably understand how the chief catcher died." ”
