Chapter 978: A new star in the Criminal Department is rising
Li Dalong said very regretfully that if he could cultivate the internal strength and mental method, he would at least be able to achieve the realm of a super-first-class master, but it was a pity that the internal mental method was not so good.
Under the command of Boss Du, up to a dozen people who will know the internal martial arts method are all raised by Du Tongxuan's baby pimples, and they are not released easily.
And on the rivers and lakes, it is almost the same.
The big gangs, or the big families, are all upper-class people who have internal skills, where do the people below have the opportunity to come into contact with them?
In addition, around the power centers of Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu, a large number of Buddhist and Taoist people gathered, and they naturally cultivated a large number of martial arts masters, but they only played in their own circles, and did not contact the outside forces at all.
Feng Zhou nodded secretly, estimating that the inner guards of the palace were inseparable from the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and he could feel that the breath of these imperial guards was either the peaceful atmosphere of Buddhism, or the leisurely and indifferent meaning of Taoism.
Da Nei masters like Wei Ziyun and Yin Xian, their martial arts come like this!
So Yin Xian and Gu Qingfeng of Baiyun Temple have such a good relationship!
After listening to the story for a while, Feng Zhou had a clear understanding of the rivers and lakes of this era.
In short, the forces of the rivers and lakes during the Great Tomorrow Shun period are extremely difficult to provoke when it involves the national economy and people's livelihood, and once they act rashly, they may shake the order of a certain industry, that is, the government has to think twice before acting.
That's why Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen are free to blow snow all over the world.
According to the martial arts hall first-hand boxer, the Jianghu forces in the north are okay, they are more disciplined and dare not mess around, after all, it is the heartland of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to allow the Jianghu forces to do anything wrong.
But the forces in the south are relatively unlimited.
As the name suggests, the salt gang is rumored to be a big salt merchant itself, and its means are a tyrant in the south of the Yangtze River.
There is also the Haisha Gang, whose leader is a big pirate who once crisscrossed the seven seas, but now he is like a good man in Jiangnan, and he has a very lively relationship with dignitaries.
After learning about the rivers and lakes of the entire Ming Dynasty, Feng Zhou asked about the situation of the Shuanghe Martial Arts Hall, the main business areas and the areas of power radiation.
If he hadn't expressed his attitude early and didn't have any thoughts about the Shuanghe Martial Arts Pavilion, the top management of the Yigan Martial Arts Pavilion would not have replied honestly, but now it is naturally different.
With the help of nearly 100 thugs in the martial arts hall, Li Dalong, the boss behind the scenes, not only became Du Tongxuan's right-hand man, but also operated three dart bureaus, two dyeing workshops, and as for the pawnshop, there are naturally a lot of them.
Therefore, Li Dalong can be said to be making money every day.
His three dart bureaus have a wide radiating range, almost all over the north.
As for the south, these three dart bureaus have not yet had the strength to penetrate the past, the situation there is too complicated, and the power of the government and gangs is very strong, and they will not welcome the forces of the north to rush over to grab food.
Feng Zhou wants this, he is only in the fifth grade at this time, and he doesn't need to care too much about things, as long as he can grasp all the major events in the northern region in time.
Therefore, he proposed to cooperate with the martial arts hall, and he paid the martial arts hall to help collect the major events that happened in various parts of the north, of course, if the small things could also be recorded, he would not dislike it.
This matter can be told to Du Tongxuan, if he is against it, Feng Zhou will let him stop objecting.
Besides, the funds of five hundred taels a quarter are also a considerable amount for the Shuanghe Martial Arts Hall, don't look at their daily income, but the expenses are also very huge, and there is not much left in their hands every month.
It's just a collection of big and small things in various parts of the north, which is nothing at all for the Shuanghe Martial Arts Hall with a large number of people, but they are all rough men, but they are not very good at recording.
Feng Zhou said that it was okay, and he would send competent men to follow them, who would be responsible for recording the matter.
The literacy rate in this era is still quite low, and a top five martial arts hall in the capital can't find more than ten literate people, which really opened his eyes.
After the matter was discussed, leaving a deposit of one hundred taels of silver, Feng Zhou left under the courtesy of the high-level officials of the Shuanghe Martial Arts Pavilion, regardless of the embarrassment and the surprised eyes of passers-by.
Don't think that Feng Zhou is stingy, the male pig's feet in the story, which one is not arrogant, a thousand taels of silver is just a basic unit, and he will not blink an eye if he throws out tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.
That's purely a two-to-one act, the purchasing power of silver is quite amazing, in this era, twenty taels of silver can make a family living in the suburbs live a comfortable year.
Don't look at the darts of the Shuanghe Martial Arts Gym, but the fact that the headquarters of their Martial Arts Gym is in Dongcheng shows that their economic strength or power is not good.
Feng Zhou really likes such a cooperation object, this is also what she is looking for Pole Li and Pole Zhao, not Du Tongxuan and Li Yanbei to discuss, if the other party is too strong, he is not afraid, but he is afraid of trouble, generally such forces have top magnates behind them.
With his status at this time, it is best to cooperate with a force like the Shuanghe Martial Arts Hall, at least there is no need to worry about unexpected changes.
As for why he acted the way he did, it was just a whim.
Since he has to go through the world, he has to have a source channel, and he doesn't want to be an official with closed information, as long as it is not something that happens around him, or a particularly serious accident, it has basically passed for several days to reach his ears, and if he wants to do something, the daylily is cold.
For the west of the city, he already had Zhao and Wang Hu and others, so he supported Sun Liu in the east to organize beggars to collect intelligence.
In this way, the situation in the capital, except for the Imperial Palace Ouchi and the Haomen Gao Mansion, is basically difficult to escape from his ears and eyes.
So after learning about the power of Dongcheng Gonger Li, he considered that Feng Zhou was still blind to the outside of the capital, and he couldn't really rely only on the imperial court to report it, or wait for the news to come over for a long time.
It's been too long, and after too many people have spread it, it has long been tampered with, and if he wants to know the real situation, it is simply impossible, unless there happens to be his connections over there, and he can write to ask.
It is better to have a general understanding of the situation in the northern region through the cooperation with the Shuanghe Martial Arts Center.
It doesn't need to be timely, just a little faster than the rumors can spread. If he wants to take the opportunity to do something, he can also have plenty of time to arrange, right?
These are his long-term plans, and although they may not be useful, when they do, they will definitely play an unexpected role, and he firmly believes that.
With these two intelligence organizations, Feng Zhou was a lot busier all of a sudden.
With the help of the beggar gang intelligence network organized by Wang Hu and Sun Liu, he almost uncovered a case where Shuntianfu made a mistake almost every time, and the evidence was complete and irrefutable.
Feng Zhou suddenly became famous in the Criminal Department, and he turned over three consecutive cases of mistrial in the Shuntian Mansion, and was regarded as a newly rising criminal prison expert in the Criminal Department for a while.
The Criminal Department still respects the talents of the criminal department, especially the status and official character of Feng Zhou, which is not low, and is even more respected by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the two waiters.
As for the reaction of Shuntianfu, who cares?
