The Red Scorpion Gate is the seventh force under the Dragon King's power, and it is in charge of the black tax.

In the central area of Qinzhou City, the Red Scorpion Gate also has its own stronghold, which is a martial arts hall. No one teaches martial arts, no one learns from a teacher, and no one kicks the gym. Not many people remember the original name of the blood scorpion, as a master of the three-leaf realm, plus the ferocious and ruthless methods, and the relationship with the dragon king, the name of the blood scorpion has far exceeded his own name.

At this moment, the blood scorpion is taking the elite twenty or thirty people of the Red Scorpion Sect to a place called Xinyang Restaurant on Huailiu Street in Qinzhou City.

This restaurant is very small, and Huailiu Street is not a wealthy area like Qinhuai Street. Most of the shops here are small shops, and most of the customers are workers and miscellaneous workers.

When the owner of Xinyang Restaurant saw the blood scorpion, he broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, but he still maintained a somewhat stiff smile on his face.

The blood scorpion looked at the owner of the restaurant with the eyes of the ants, and the guests quickly dispersed, and after a while, only the people from the Xinyang Restaurant and the Red Scorpion Gate remained. The blood scorpion sat on the stool with a grin, and slapped his hand: "What about the wine, are you blind or are you in this broken shop and no longer doing business?" ”

The boss was so frightened that he staggered, and immediately ordered the shopkeeper to pour wine.

But he didn't want to, as soon as the wine entered the blood scorpion's lips, the blood scorpion slammed the bowl and scolded: "What a broken wine, it's hard to drink to death." Serving! ”

So the cook began to cook. During this period, the people on the side of the restaurant owner did not dare to take a breath.

The shopkeeper finally brought the dishes, which were the most expensive and best dishes in the store, and even almost no customers on this street would order such expensive dishes.

But the blood scorpion didn't even move the chopsticks, so he flipped the table and said, "Bah, it's hard to eat, is this what you do business?" ”

At this time, whether it was the onlookers from a long distance or the people in the store, they all knew that the Red Scorpion Gate was not good.

The boss immediately knelt down in fright and said, "Uncle, I'm a small restaurant, if you are not satisfied, you can say it." ”

The blood scorpion raised his eyebrows, and his bald face was tattooed with terrifying red scorpion lines, no matter what expression he made, even if he just twitched his face, it looked extremely scary.

"Playing stupid? Zhao Xinyang, you also know the rules in this place, Qinzhou City was flooded back then, but the Dragon King and his old man made a water sacrifice to let the river god forgive, so that so many people in Qinzhou City were not washed away by the flood! ”

Boss Zhao kept nodding, but he was still a little puzzled. Blood Scorpion's words, he understood part of it. He slowly raised his head and said, "I paid the money to the Dragon King every month, why...... The dragon king, his old man, will ......"

The blood scorpion snorted disdainfully and said: "Now this Qinzhou City is under the protection of the Dragon King and his old man, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, but this water disaster is not waiting for anyone, your money is paid." ”

The blood scorpion bent down, and his face seemed to be about to be attached to Boss Zhao's face: "However, others have paid more than you, so there is no way to do it." ”

Boss Zhao's face was like ashes.

"Yes...... But there's still ...... Negotiable. ”

There was a smile on the corner of the blood scorpion's mouth: "Boss Zhao is a smart person, and he can make ghosts grind with money, not to mention the river god?" As long as you pay three thousand taels, your family will never have to worry about serving the river god. ”

Three thousand taels of silver, Boss Zhao almost fainted after hearing this number, if he could get three thousand taels, he would not see the blood scorpion at all.

He wasn't stupid, he knew that this was an example of killing chickens and monkeys. He really had no choice, so he kept buttoning the blood scorpion's head, and he couldn't say anything. The blood scorpion turned a blind eye, even if Boss Zhao's forehead was red, he didn't care.

The Blood Scorpion was originally an outcast of the Iron Lion Sect, but he was unwilling in the Iron Lion Sect back then, so he came to Qinzhou in a fit of rage, and was later appreciated by the Dragon King. His feet stepped on Boss Zhao's head, how proud he was.

He got up, looked at the boss who seemed to be paralyzed and said, "My brothers will take a good look at you, tomorrow you can't make up all the money, and you will be ready to go down to accompany the river god in three days, hahahaha." ”

Long after the blood scorpion was gone, the street was still quiet. It seems to have been a long, long time since the last water grabting festival candidate, but that fear has not faded.

Qin Huai Street, which is far opposite, doesn't have to worry about this, they only need to hand over one day's business money, which is many times more than the black tax on their side, and the Dragon King will naturally not trouble them.

Boss Zhao finally stood up slowly, but as if he had lost his soul, the guys in the store didn't speak, watching his boss pick up the overturned dishes.

Boss Zhao wanted to cry very much, and he did shed a few tears, thinking that he would not be seen if he was picking up something on his stomach. But he didn't expect to see a pair of hands helping him clean up.

It was a very rough pair of hands, with thick cocoons on them.

He raised his head and looked at this person he had never seen before, this person was extremely burly, and his face was also very heroic like a northerner.

"It's a pity, his grandmother's." This man's voice is also very rough.

There was a handsome young man beside the man with a calm and easy-going face, nodded and said, "It's really a pity." ”

Next to the boy stood a scholar, whose eyes were cloudy, and he didn't seem to be touched by any of these things.

The young man took out a few taels of silver and said, "Someone has to pay for this table, and I bought it." It just so happened that the burly man had packed up and put the few leftovers on the table.

The scholar looked at the young man and the burly man with disdain. The burly man said: "Although it is not as good as me, it is strange that this kind of place can have this kind of craft." ”

Boss Zhao looked at this scene and didn't know what to say. No one ever spends money on food that someone else ordered, no one spends money on food that is on the ground, and no one actually eats it.

In particular, the young man can't help but want to take a second look, because he has an otherworldly taste, but he doesn't want to eat leftovers.

How did he know that this young man had survived in many desperate situations, and he could eat anything that was even more difficult to swallow.

Because the people gave the money, and the fright was not small today, the people in the store didn't speak, and they quietly watched the two finish eating.

These two people are naturally Chen Hui and Ding Qiliang, that scholar, a scholar is a scholar. Chen Hui only knew that his surname was Shen, and the others didn't know either.

When Chen Hui was full of food and drink, he spoke: "Boss Zhao, can I ask you a few questions?" ”

Boss Zhao had no intention of entertaining guests at the moment, but he still nodded and said, "Guest officer, you ask." ”

"There was a flood in Qinzhou City back then?" Chen's question was very bland, but Boss Zhao was shocked.

"Alas, guest officer, be quiet, it seems that you are a foreigner."

The scholar snorted coldly: "Your shop has provoked the Dragon King's people, what's the point of you being so taboo about this topic now, anyway, you can't survive this catastrophe, why bother to cover it up for the Dragon King and his party." ”

The scholar's words were very choking, but Boss Zhao also felt that there was some truth, so he was even more desperate. He said slowly: Back then......

Back then, the Dragon King's fame in the rivers and lakes was not very great. Qinhuai Street in Qinzhou City is actually named after the Qinhuai River, which runs through the entire Qinzhou City and winds into many areas.

Out of Qinzhou City to the northeast, there is a huge river connecting the Qinhuai River, the Long River. Therefore, in the east, Fujin City and Donghai City can actually go to Qinzhou City by water.

In the middle of the three cities, on the Changhe River Basin, there is a magnificent embankment called the Interception Dam. The huge water conservancy project that Emperor Chu spent 40 years and spent countless manpower to build was an imperial wonder.

Because of this project, the city of Qinzhou, which is located downstream, has not been flooded for hundreds of years.

But twelve years ago, there was a flood in Qinzhou City that could be called a catastrophe. That year, Qinzhou City had the largest rainstorm ever, the rain itself was like a catastrophe, and it was extremely strange, and the weather in Qinzhou City was very different from the previous days, the continuous heavy rain such as the Tianhe River tilted for more than 40 days, and the water in Qinzhou City was deep. And the dam is even more inexplicable, the floodgates were opened. The angry current rushed towards Qinzhou City, and the heavy rain that had not been encountered for hundreds of years and the loss of control of the sea interception dam almost brought the disaster of destruction to Qinzhou City.

The city of Qinzhou, which is located in a low situation, was hit by a flood. Countless buildings were washed away, and countless people in Qinzhou were even more unknown.

Later, in order to solve this matter, the imperial court temporarily built a place of refuge on the higher ground of Qinzhou City, and the Qi family, a wealthy martial arts family, also opened a relief place. But even so, for the always prosperous Qinzhou City, this flood also made Qinzhou City almost destroyed.

The people of the imperial court quickly sent people to the Interception Dam, only to find that the imperial soldiers stationed at the Interception Dam had disappeared. The empire reacted, but the rain kept pouring and the water was hard to dissipate. The situation of Qinzhou City is still extremely dangerous.

It was at this time that the Dragon King came to Qinzhou City with his six henchmen. The dragon king and his party have excellent water quality, and they are all people with deep internal strength, even if they are diving in deep water, they can move for a long time.

The dragon king preached everywhere, saying that this was to anger the river god, and it was necessary to use the life of a living person to sacrifice water to appease the anger of the river god, as evidenced by the heavy rain that had not been encountered for hundreds of years. This word quickly spread to everyone in Qinzhou City, and even the imperial officials were skeptical that they could not govern Qinzhou City, and finally the Dragon King and his party built an altar at the Jingguan Temple.

And the sacrifice was the leader of the Haisha Gang, the underground force of Qinzhou City at that time. The leader of the Haisha gang is usually powerful and oppressive to the people, and the Dragon King's move has been supported by all the people in Qinzhou City, and the head snake Haisha Gang has been defeated by the Dragon King and his six men in just two days, and many people have even switched to the Dragon King's subordinates.

The leader of the Haisha gang, who was tied up by the boulder, was thrown into the raging Qinhuai River by the people under the Dragon King. At the moment when the dragon king's sacrificial text was recited, the dragon king let out a fierce roar, and the roar of the internal force was amazing, as if breaking through the sky. Strange to say, if the river god heard the dragon king's sacrifice, the dark clouds in the sky that seemed to never dissipate slowly dispersed, and the people watching the water festival in the heavy rain found that the rain that had not become smaller for nearly forty days was really getting smaller.

In less than an hour, the dark clouds in the sky that had not cleared for a long time dispersed, and the rain suddenly stopped.

All the people of Qinzhou City were immersed in the carnival, and they respected the Dragon King as a god. Afterwards, the Dragon King also cooperated with the imperial court and the Qi family, and after taking over the power of the Haisha Gang, he assisted the empire and the Qi family in rebuilding Qinzhou City.

The name of the Dragon King spreads all over the martial arts!

But there are many suspicious things about this flood in Qinzhou City. The people of Qinzhou City, who were immersed in joy, soon ushered in another layer of terror.
