Chapter 414: Divine Dragon Gang

The eastern capital Luoyang is more than 800 miles away from Chang'an, and for the sake of the beauty of the little 'jade' ring, Li Huaitang completed the mercenary affairs and rushed to Luoyang non-stop.

There is no 'gate' in the west of Luoyang City, Li Huaitang and his party from the west have to detour to the 'gate' of the east city, and the residence of the small 'jade' ring is in Quy Nhon Fang, and after a little inquiry from passers-by, Li Huaitang learned that Quy Nhon Fang is close to the east of the city to build a 'spring' and 'gate'.

"Hehe, Brother Niu is very anxious, I'm afraid that I won't see him for a day, like every three autumns." Shui Rouer covered her mouth and smiled, she sat in the carriage, looking at Li Huaitang outside the carriage through the curtain of the carriage, and the look on Li Huaitang's face exuded the brilliance of expectation.

"Dengzi!" Pei Xiaoniang pouted, rolled her eyes, and squeezed out three words from between her teeth, and the car was full of vinegar and sour smell.

Although Pei Xiaoniang's family lives in Chang'an, she has never been to Luoyang, in fact, this is not enough to 'tempt' and 'confuse' her to leave home and leave the arms of her parents with Li Huaitang to Luoyang, before marrying Ning Yuan, every moment with her parents is very precious, however, Pei Xiaoniang knows that Li Huaitang went to Luoyang to marry a little 'jade' ring, a beauty that makes her sigh that she is not as good as even jealous of the best little beauty, because of this unspeakable reason, never been to Luoyang has become her reason.

Shui Rou'er complained: "It's all to blame Sister Yueyue, she always wants to stuff the beauties of the world to Brother Niu, Brother Niu is so 'lustful', those who come do not refuse, and the little 'jade' ring is forgotten, hum!" I'm afraid that the two charming widows have already been eaten by him. ”

Listening to Shui Rou'er's blame, Pei Xiaoniang suddenly felt a warm heart, about Ji Niang and Feng Niang, Liu Shangyue told her that her Li Lang did not move them, because she couldn't bear Pei Xiaoniang to be sad about this, saying that she couldn't let Pei Xiaoniang and Linglong Shuangshu come first and then go ashore.

Li Huaitang didn't have so much thought, his heart was already flying, and the voice and smile of the little 'jade' ring jumped in his mind, making him have the idea of not waiting to see him.

Approaching the Upper East 'Gate', Li Huaitang was blocked by a group of onlookers.

Among a large group of onlookers, Xiao Xue Hui knelt on the ground with a blank face, beside her were two corpses wrapped in straw mats, she was not used to this feeling of loneliness and helplessness, but God would not resurrect her parents because she felt strange and could not bear the cruel status quo, from now on, she had to make a living alone and endure loneliness. The most important thing in front of her is to bury her parents, poor little Xue Hui is penniless, and the only dilapidated house has been taken to pay the debt by the villains who collect rent, and she has no choice but to sell herself as a slave.

The onlookers pointed and discussed, and the noise buzzed into Xiao Xue Hui's ears, making her dizzy, it had been a long time, and no one still had pity her, or no one dared to help her.

When Xiao Xue Hui was hungry and desperate, she suddenly saw a gold ingot placed in front of her eyes, and she looked up in surprise along the slender 'jade' hand that loosened the gold ingot, and a beautiful 'glamorous' noble woman's face came into her eyes.

"Take it and bury your loved ones well." The noble woman looked at her with pity, and her voice was soft, like that of her mother in the world.

Xiao Xue Hui couldn't help but shout: "Mother! ”

"Who is so bold? Someone who dares to rob me?! "A strange voice of 'yin' and yang suddenly sounded from the crowd, like avoiding the plague, the crowd automatically retreated and opened a passage, a bully leader dressed in 'flowery' bells and whistles slowly walked out of the passage, and several thug dog 'legs' followed him, arrogant and abnormal.

"Yo! I thought it was a master, haha, it turned out to be a beautiful girl! The bully seemed to have met a treasure, his eyes lit up, and he kept looking up and down at the noble 'woman' in front of him.

The bully grinned, his eyes rolled slightly, and asked tentatively, "May I ask your lady's surname?" ”

"What does it have to do with you?" The noble lady glanced in disgust at the bully who suddenly appeared.

"Hey, what's the matter?" The bully laughed even more '', the dragons and snakes in the Luoyang realm were 'mixed', and they couldn't be 'mixed' with less eyesight and cleverness, the bully's questions seemed to be unintentional and unbounded, but in fact he had a kind of ability to identify strangers, and he judged that she was not a Tang person from the accent of the beautiful 'woman'. As long as it's not a local magnate, that's easy to do! Bullies are born from the side of the guts, and the 'color' is bold.

"Madame has violated the rules of our Dragon Gang." The bully said as he walked up to Xiao Xue Hui and snatched the ingot of gold from her hand.

"'Bastard'! Give her back the gold! The noble woman glared angrily. Xiao Xue Hui, who was trembling, touched the sympathy in her heart.

The bully laughed and said, "Doesn't Madame want to know what happened if you break our gang rules?" Hehe, serve Hou Ye well, and I will save you from being chopped up with your 'jade' finger! ”

"Poof!" The bully felt that he was hit by an object in his face, and reached out to wipe it, and it was persimmon mud.

"Which tired person dares to smash me?" The bully jumped like thunder, but saw a strong Lang Jun walking out of the crowd, eating persimmons leisurely in one hand, and walking to the side of the noble 'woman'.

I only heard Na Langjun say: "I only count three times, if you don't return the gold to this little lady as my wife said, I will be very angry." ”

"What if you're angry? I'm so angry! "The bully has a tendency to use violence, and several dog 'legs' behind him are gearing up, waiting for an order to be used to step forward.

"I'm so angry, the consequences are serious!" Lang Jun beside the noble 'woman' smiled evilly.

The bully has seen many people who are more ignorant than him, but these people are either crippled or begging for mercy later, and today he met another one, and it was rare that he still had a beautiful lady with him, and the bully's interest suddenly rose.

"Hehe, I haven't played for a long time, I'll play with you today, and when your wife begs for mercy under her crotch, I don't know if you will be so arrogant? Ha ha! ”

"Three!" Lang Jun, who was beside the noble woman, suddenly changed his face and waved his hand.

"Hula!" More than a dozen people jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards the bully, without saying a word, before the bully and his thugs could react, they were all knocked down with three punches and two 'legs'.

Terrible wails filled the eardrums of onlookers, and the beaters showed no mercy, and their hands and feet were heavy.

"Don't you like to rob? Broke his hand for me! "The gentleman next to the noble 'woman' is unforgiving and behaves extremely violently.

With a click, the bully let out a scream and fainted on the spot.

"Li Lang, forget it, let them go." The screams made the noble 'woman' feel compassion, and she pleaded with Langjun, who she called Li Lang.

The noble 'woman' is Liu Shangyue, originally she wanted to help Xiao Xue Hui complete her filial piety and then take her away, but was stopped by Li Huaitang, Liu Meiren had to hand over a gold ingot to express her love, but she didn't expect to encounter such a troublesome thing.

Li Huaitang smiled bitterly, don't kill these local snakes, they will soon find the 'door' again, he thought about it, forget it, find the 'door' just one pot, destroy them all, and do good deeds for the people of Luoyang.

"Madame said, spare them a dog's life." Li Huaitang said lightly to Hu Yijian and them.

Orders and prohibitions are the excellent qualities of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, and as soon as Li Huaitang's words fell, his fists and feet were neatly interrupted like a storm.

Xiao Xue Hui saw a young lady Langjun pick up the piece of gold and hand it to her.

"Take it, no one will dare to bully you anymore." Xiao Xue Hui heard a warm sentence that made her warm, and in the past two days, her helpless feeling has found her support again.

The young man shook his hand and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" This is what our lady gave you, take it. ”

Xiao Xue Hui hesitantly took the gold ingot and asked in a low voice, "Can the benefactor tell Hui Niang's name?" ”

The young man thought for a while and said, "You call Mrs. Mrs." ”

"Well, what about you, the benefactor."

"Me? My name is Hu Yijian. ”

When Hu Yijian and Xiao Xue Hui were talking, Liu Meiren begged Li Huaitang coquettishly: "Li Lang, help her, otherwise we will leave, those bullies will not let her go, thinking of her lonely and helpless appearance, the concubine will not feel at ease, and she will not be able to sleep at night." ”

"That's all, don't take it as an example!" For the gentle offensive of the beauty, Li Huaitang's immunity is a little worse.

"Great!" Liu Meiren was overjoyed and turned back to Xiao Xue Hui.

Hearing that the benefactor was willing to help him deal with the funeral of his relatives, Xiao Xue Hui was both happy and 'excited'. As for following her benefactor, she took it for granted, selling herself, it should have been like this.

From the mouths of Xiao Xue Hui and others, Li Huaitang learned that the bully just now was the leader of the Shenlong Gang, the most well-known in Luoyang City, and Xiao Xue Hui originally thought that the Shangdong 'Gate' was the main place for the nobles in Luoyang City, and with the help of the villagers, he transported the remains of his parents to the vicinity and waited for the mercy of the rich. Just came to the entrance of the 'gate' and 'gate' of the upper east, Xiao Xue Hui was targeted by the bullies, and under the threat of the bullies, no one dared to buy Xiao Xue Hui. The bully's plan is to use Baiwen money to force Xiao Xue Hui to comply, and finally commit himself to him, but where is the Baiwen money enough for Xiao Xue Hui to bury his parents? Of course she didn't want to. So Xiao Xue Hui was consumed like this until Liu Meiren appeared and volunteered.

Asked about what happened to Xiao Xue Hui's parents, Li Huaitang sighed again.

The Xue family is a typical hidden household, because the land granted is seriously insufficient, and the "pay" can not afford the prescribed taxes, so they have to flee with the family to commit themselves to the rich and powerful families as tenant farmers, however, such a life is not easy, with the increasing number of tenant farmers, resulting in the strong and powerful people have the courage to increase the rent, the rent has become an unbearable burden for the little Xue Hui family, these years, borrowing money has become a means of life for the Xue family, accumulating over time, the debt finally crushed the Xue family, and the creditor kept going to the 'door' Forced, and the Xue family was unable to repay, in despair, Xiao Xue Hui's parents found a short-term view, leaving Xiao Xue Hui alone.

"How so?" Pei Xiaoniang was accompanied by a lot of tears, she couldn't figure out why such a tragic thing happened in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Li Huaitang said: "The prosperous era has always been only the prosperous age of the powerful and powerful, and they are the biggest beneficiaries. The wealth created by ordinary citizens is enjoyed by them. ”

"However, I often heard my father say that every household in Datang can get a share of land, and as long as they farm well, they will have a good life." Pei Xiaoniang was very suspicious and didn't know what the problem was.

"The problem is the Junda system. The destruction of the equalization system has led to the regulation of rents in name only, which will only increase the burden on the peasants. Through what he saw and heard in Datang during this time, Li Huaitang saw the disadvantages of Datang society. For example, the Xue family, a family of three, Xiao Xue Hui is not a strong man, and his father and middle men are granted 100 acres of land according to the law, but in fact, they are only allocated 15 acres, but the tax they pay is a poll tax, and the rent adjustment stipulated in the early Tang Dynasty is based on the grant of 100 acres of land. Their fate is sealed, either fleeing or becoming proud tenant farmers, bullied and oppressed, waiting for decline.

"Who is destroying the Junda system?" Pei Xiaoniang became even more curious and suspicious. What Pei Xiaoniang doesn't know is that even if it is really during the Zhenguan Dazhi period, the fields allocated to the farmers are far from enough, and there are generally only 30 acres in many places, and the clan has forcibly annexed the land. Li Longji is eating the foundation established for him by the 'female' emperor, and it will be over when he finishes eating.

Li Huaitang smiled bitterly: "The first to destroy the Juntian system is the major clans, they are crazy to acquire land by forcible seizure, followed by the magnates, the amount of land under their names is amazing, the terrible thing is that they can't see the future, they only care about the immediate interests, buy land and hire tenant farmers when they have money, most of the world's grain and wealth are concentrated in their hands, and they only 'pay' taxes according to the head of the family, and the magnates are trying to evade taxes, and the country's financial resources are drying up day by day." If the situation is not changed, it will one day lead to riots and regime change. ”

"Then why didn't the Holy One stop them?" Pei Xiaoniang's idea is very naïve.

Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Even if the nobles have a strong conscience and distribute the land to the poor, they will not be able to solve the fundamental problem. The total amount of land is limited, and the population will continue to expand, and preventing land annexation can only delay the time when the contradictions will sharpen, and it is of no practical significance. ”

Pei Xiaoniang was a little frustrated, according to Li Huaitang, riots and chaos were never avoidable.

Li Huaitang said: "Not necessarily, perhaps vigorously developing industry and commerce can effectively solve this problem." Of course, the right path can only be found through practice. ”

The beauties are not interested in these topics, and when they are bored, they turn their attention to the Dragon Gang. Any prosperous era is a hotbed of the underworld, and there must be the shadow of high-ranking officials and powerful people behind any powerful dark forces. Luoyang people are familiar with the Shenlong Gang, this gang does not know when it emerged, but it was a blockbuster, in a short period of time, it cleaned up the large and small evil forces in Luoyang City, entangled almost all the ruffian bullies, bought off the officials in the city, opened gambling halls and brothels in Luoyang City, and even in the surrounding areas, the people "forced" the good to be prostitutes, and the people were "forced" to be prostitutes and troubled in the township, and the bullying and bullying pit "Meng" abducted all kinds of evil, and when it came to the Shenlong Gang, they did not change their "color" and avoided it. It is said that their backers were powerful and high-ranking officials in Chang'an City. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
