Chapter 174: Rectifying Order: Cao Gong and "Cao Gong"
As soon as he entered Taoqiu South City, Dai Yan's nose unconsciously itched, this place was so smelly!
Hold back the discomfort in your heart and move on. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this place in the south city is really worthy of the place where the lowest people in Taoqiu live, not only the houses are very simple, but the ground is full of garbage, a scene of sewage flowing sideways. Even the most dilapidated slums that Dai Yan saw on TV and movies in his previous life, or the slum areas in Fengyi, are not as bad as this place!
Among these dilapidated buildings, there are few ordinarily decorated buildings. From You's mouth, Dai Yan knew that these buildings were the strongholds of the Taoqiu rangers.
There are many residents in Taoqiu South City, and you can see people walking around the streets from time to time.
However, in Dai Yan's eyes, all the people he saw were yellow and thin-skinned, and they looked ragged. And in the eyes of these people, Dai Yan couldn't see the slightest look, and his eyes were numb.
As we moved on, in front of a shop, we found a living corpse hanging from the beam of the shop, and there was blood flowing on the corpse, dripping on the ground, apparently the deceased had just died, and there was a woman crying underneath the body. The people around looked at this scene, but they didn't look surprised, as if it was extremely normal for someone to be killed suddenly, and everyone continued to be busy with their own business.
Dai Yan couldn't look at it, so he hurriedly walked up to the woman and asked her, "What happened here?" Your loved ones were killed, why don't you report them to the authorities? ”
As soon as the woman heard that someone was talking to her, she quickly got up and hid aside, not answering Dai Yan's question at all. And when Dai Yan wanted to continue asking, the woman ran directly into the shop behind the corpse and closed the door of the store directly!
Dai Yan was a little puzzled by this scene, but after the woman entered the store, the busy people around immediately scattered and ran away, hiding in their own homes, the door was closed, and they refused to come out again!
Then, at the end of the street, five people came out. These five people all carried swords, and their clothes were luxurious, which was completely different from the ragged commoners that Dai Yan had seen before! And their bodies are not as thin as the common people, but their bodies are strong, and the person at the head is even more long-shouldered and round-waisted, looking fierce and vicious!
As soon as the leader saw Dai Yan and his party, he opened his mouth and threatened: "Boy, you can't take care of the affairs here!" If you know each other, hurry up, or don't blame me for being unkind! ”
Dai Yan didn't care about this at all, but still asked, "So the people who died here have something to do with you and others?" If you are so blatantly violating the law and committing suicide privately, you are not afraid of being punished? ”
Hearing Dai Yan's words, these people laughed one by one, and the person at the head said with a disdainful face: "In Taoqiu, Cao Gong is the greatest law!" This person has broken the rules set by Cao Gong, so he can only pay for it with his life! ”
Dai Yan was stunned after hearing this, he had only been in Taoqiu for three days, and he hadn't had time to make any changes to Taoqiu's administration, and what rules had he set?
So he continued to ask, "Why did this person offend Cao Gong?" ”
The big man at the head was full of impatience: "What are you doing with so much?" Cao Gong stipulated that all the shops on this street must pay five dollars per month as an offering, and if this person can't take it out, he should naturally die! I don't think you're from here either, so fuck me off now! If you stay here, I promise to get you out of here right away! ”
At this time, the You Jiao, who led Dai Yan over, came to Dai Yan's ear and explained to him in detail: "Lord, the 'Cao Gong' mentioned by the person on the other side is not talking about you, but Ding Yi, the biggest ranger leader in Taoqiu!" Ding Yi has been dominant in the southern city for a long time, and his power is strong, and in the past two years, he has defeated most of his opponents in the west and north cities one after another, becoming the most powerful ranger in Taoqiu today! This person has hundreds of outlaws under him, and he is extremely difficult to provoke, so it is better not to provoke him easily! ”
When You Yan explained to Dai Yan in detail the situation of Ding Yi, the "Duke Cao", the big man on the opposite side saw that Dai Yan still had no sign of leaving, and he didn't say anything more, he took out the sword from his body and rushed towards Dai Yan's side!
Looking at his fierce appearance, he wanted to kill Dai Yan directly on the spot, and then fulfill his promise to let Dai Yan go out sideways from here!
When his sword was about to slash in front of Dai Yan's body, a sudden flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a person suddenly appeared in front of Dai Yan, and a long sword was unsheathed in his hand. The leader of the big man had to change the direction of the long sword in his hand and slash at the person in front of Dai Yan instead!
The person in front of Dai Yan was naturally Tang Ying, who had been following him all the time, as soon as he saw that the lord was in danger, he rushed forward without saying a word, and the long sword in his hand and the long sword of the big man were directly split together!
The two swords clashed together, and then quickly separated! Tang Ying stood in place, without moving, and the big man was directly slashed backwards by the power of Tang Ying's sword, until he fell to the ground!
The strength of the two is judged!
When the big man saw this, his face was panicked. Then he quickly got up and stepped back, and when he had retreated to a safe place, he shouted to the people who followed him: "Pierce your hands, call someone quickly!" ”
The people behind took out tiny whistles one by one, put them in their mouths and blew them fiercely, and the sharp whistle spread like this!
In a few moments, the sound of neat footsteps could be heard around the entire street, and even the ground seemed to be shaken.
One by one, rangers appeared on this street from all directions, but in just half an hour, hundreds of rangers appeared here, surrounding Dai Yan and his party!
Dai Yan went out on patrol this time, and he only brought more than a dozen guards with him. However, in the face of these hundreds of people, Dai Yan did not have any fear in his heart.
When Dai Yan was surrounded, the ranger's encirclement suddenly separated, and a young ranger walked out of it.
This person seems to have an extremely high status, and the big man who was the leader before also looked honest in front of this young man, and explained to him in detail what happened here.
When the young man understood the situation clearly, he walked straight to Dai Yan and said to him: "In Xia Feng Chen, I don't know where Gongzi is from, why did he come to Taoqiu South City?" ”
Dai Yan stepped forward and replied: "I am from Suiyang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, but I just came to this Taoqiu to play." I came to this southern city just to have some interest in this place and to wander around. ”
Hearing Dai Yan's statement, Feng Yan was skeptical, but he didn't argue about it, but said to Dai Yan: "If Gongzi comes to this Taoqiu to play, it is only right to go to the east and north cities, and there is the real land of bliss!" Don't go shopping around this Nancheng boy, otherwise it won't be good if there are some accidents! Today, for the sake of the son who strayed into this place, he will retreat by himself, and I will not pursue it! ”
Dai Yan is not a person who does not know how to advance and retreat, now that hundreds of people are surrounded by the other party, and there are only ten guards around him, if he really wants to conflict, he is the one who suffers. Seeing what the other party said, Dai Yan also left the southern city with a boat.
As soon as he walked out of the boundary of Nancheng, Dai Yan immediately said to the wanderer: "Hurry up and report to me in detail the situation of the rangers in Taoqiu City!" ”
Seeing such a rampant scene of rangers, Dai Yan didn't dare to relax at all.
From Youqiu's mouth, Dai Yan learned about the power of the entire Taoqiu Ranger. In addition to the "Cao Gong" Ding Yi who has the power all over Taoqiu today, the entire Taoqiu and "Cao Gong" are similar in strength, and there are also hundreds of outlaws as the ranger leaders under him, and there are two other ones, namely "Hebo" Long Wu and "Flying Eagle" Wang Xiang!
The power of "Hebo" is mainly concentrated in the ten-mile wharf outside Taoqiu City, and his rangers control most of the wrestlers and porters, and the unloading and loading of goods on the wharf must be carried out according to his will! If anyone dares to refuse his request, the countless corpses that sink and float in the water every year will be the end!
The "Flying Eagle" is similar to Cao Gong, in addition to being based in the southern city, the main sphere of influence is actually similar to the place occupied by "Cao Gong", and there are also some forces in the west and north cities, but his power is extremely scattered, compared to "Cao Gong", he is far less powerful.
In addition to these three Great Rangers, there are also slightly weaker Ranger in Taoqiu. These rangers are a little less powerful than the three major rangers, but their numbers are huge, and even the three rangers together can't swallow them up!
Therefore, where the three major rangers are not as powerful, they are all filled with these small and medium-sized rangers. And because the three rangers themselves also have confrontation, they will also support these weaker rangers, making the situation of the rangers in the entire Taoqiu form a situation of separation.
The strength of the ranger force made Dai Yan extremely uneasy about this!
What is the basis of the ruling class of the country? There are many answers to this question in later generations, some people will say that it is necessary to have the will of the people, and others will say that it is necessary to have a strong economic foundation. However, in Dai Yan's view, the basis of rule is nothing more than power! And the basis of power is force, that is, violence!
Dayu convened the Tushan Conference, and the first thing he did was to kill the late Fengfeng! For what? Isn't it just to consolidate your authority! This was the beginning of Huaxia's transformation from a tribal alliance to a country!
For Dai Yan, a ranger leader dared to call himself Cao Gong and snatch his rightful position! If he can't react to this, then is the city of Taoqiu still his domain?
Subsequently, he had no intention of continuing to inspect the Taoqiu, he was going to catch the Taoqiu in his hands now!
