Chapter 130: The Three Clouds Gang
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the Spring Flavor Bar to ask Han Shuo about the progress of his investigation of Lei Zhen. It turned out that in addition to Lei Zhen, the person in charge, the Sanyun Gang also had an organization specially set up to restrict the rights of the person in charge, called Gao Yuntang. The people in Gao Yun Hall are all veterans of the Sanyun Gang or people who have made outstanding contributions to the Sanyun Gang, with the death of the Kaiyuan veterans one after another, there are now only five people left in Gao Yun Tang, and the identities of these five people are unknown and mysterious. Gao Yuntang's power is above the person in charge, and when it comes to the life and death of the Sanyun Gang, it must be decided after Gao Yuntang's deliberation.
Under Gao Yuntang is the person in charge, Lei Zhen, and his power is second only to Gao Yuntang. Under the person in charge is the middle management, at the beginning of the establishment of the Sanyun Gang, the middle layer was divided into five parts. They are agriculture, commerce, learning, households, and soldiers.
Nongren refers to agriculture. In addition to paying taxes to the state, farmers also have to pay taxes to the Sanyun Gang, but if there is a disaster year, farmers can not pay taxes to the Sanyun Gang, and even sometimes the Sanyun Gang will open a warehouse to release grain to help those farmers who can't pay taxes and can't eat because of the disaster year.
Business refers to commerce. Each commercial store has to pay fees according to its own business scale and income, if there is a store that has not opened for three months, then there is no need to pay, and the store on the verge of closure can go to Sanyun Gang to mortgage the belongings and receive a second interest-free start-up capital. However, the sale of antiques and cultural objects is not covered by this rule.
Learning refers to funding the running of a school. It is said that the founder of the Sanyun Gang is also the first person in charge of the decline of the late Qing Dynasty. However, he always believed that only knowledge is the foundation of society, so he paid great attention to teaching. Schools have been established on several occasions in the area, and both boys and girls are required to attend school. During the school year, not only are the tuition fees free of charge, but those with family difficulties will also receive a ration equivalent to one quarter of the strong labor force at the end of each semester. As a result, both farmers and merchants were willing to send their children to school, and it is said that most of the officials in the imperial court came from schools set up by the Sanyun Gang. The Sanyun Gang has made education mandatory, not only emphasizing the importance of knowledge, but also promoting the vigorous development of education.
Hu refers to the household registration. Before the emergence of the Sanyun Gang, due to the war and bandits, there was a large population flow, and there were often people fleeing the war and bandits moving their families, so there was a lot of trouble in terms of demographics. In the end, local officials blamed the Sanyun Gang on this troublesome matter, but they did not expect that the first policy of the Sanyun Gang was not to restrict the travel of the population, but to give priority to solving the living environment of the people. The Sanyun Gang took the lead in solving the rampant bandits in the surrounding area, and the people were no longer harassed by the bandits, so they naturally lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Bing refers to the army of the Sanyun Gang. At that time, this army was called the Yunjia Army, in order to protect the local security and resist the war. From this point of view, it has further consolidated the peace and contentment of the people. At that time, many people chose to join the Yun family army, and its strength could even be equated with the strength of the imperial court's army.
After Fang Fan read the information that Han Shuo had found, he immediately felt some reverence for the Sanyun Gang. Although the Sanyun Gang was a gang, they respected benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, which not only maintained the stability of the society at that time, but also promoted the progress of the society at that time. Fang Fan put aside the information in his hand and asked.
"What is the Sanyun Gang like now?"
Han Shuo said with a smile.
"The current Sanyun Gang is a world of difference compared to the past. Take the middle level as an example, at present, the middle level of the Sanyun Gang no longer has the division of agriculture, commerce, learning, households, and soldiers, but has appeared five middle-level cadres, each cadre has an economic chain, and there is cooperation and containment between the five major economic chains, and the decision on important matters is in the hands of the person in charge. These five cadres are, the ghost hand Cai Jin, the paper man Liu Qian, the prophetic dog Tang Mang, the blaster Guo Huairen, and the fifth one you must be familiar with, that is, the doll family Qiman. ”
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were taken aback when they heard this, but they didn't expect Qiman to be a middle-level cadre of the Sanyun Gang. Fang Fan asked.
"Then why didn't you see Qiman's photo on the data just now?"
"Probably Qiman will be removed after his death."
"Oh, I see. You go on to say. ”
Han Shuo sorted out his thoughts and continued.
"The ghost hand Cai Jin, known as a chicken thief in the rivers and lakes, is good at using some despicable and obscene methods. The main economic chain he is responsible for is human trafficking, and he sells a large number of trafficked people abroad, forcing them to work as laborers or become prostitutes. The worse thing is to sell them to those bizarre circuses. Extremely cruel methods, such as cutting off hands and feet, or repositioning hands and feet, or making them into sticks and placing them in a glass case containing formalin for the psychopathic rich to admire. ”
The more Fang Fan listened, the more angry he became, and his hands couldn't help shaking, so he interrupted.
"Okay, don't say it, move on to the next one."
"Paper man Liu Qian, the people in the rivers and lakes call Granny Liu, although they are all called that, but she is not very old. It is rumored that she can do some magic skills, she can cut paper into a human shape, and then cast a curse on it, and the person who is cursed will be completely under the orders of Granny Liu, and as long as the piece of paper is destroyed, the person who is cursed will die. The economic chain she is responsible for is the sale of human flesh, so many times she has frequent contacts with the chicken thief Cai Jin, and some girls who have been abducted and have a bit of good looks are controlled by Granny Liu and fall into prostitution. ”
"The prophecy dog is reckless, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called poisonous snakes. He was Lei Zhen's most important subordinate, a man who was well versed in psychology and divination, and he could predict what would happen half an hour in advance and half an hour later. The economic chain he is responsible for is also the main source of income for the Sanyun Gang, and because of his ability, he can successfully evade the police every time. In addition, he also has a senior brother, who you must be no stranger to, that is, Lao Wei. ”
Zhang Ze's mouth was open, and he said in surprise.
"Huh? Lao Wei is his senior brother? ”
"Hmm. However, the two of them took different paths, Lao Wei was willing to succumb to the intelligence maniac hyena, while Tang Mang became a middle-level cadre of the Sanyun Gang with his own strength. ”
Han Shuo pondered for a moment and said.
"Next up is Guo Huairen the Exploder."
Zhang Ze suddenly interrupted Han Shuo's words and complained.
"It's also called a benevolent and righteous Ren, and it's good to call Guo a bad guy directly."
Han Shuo smiled and continued.
"Guo Huairen, the blaster, the Jianghu people weigh the cannon. He is proficient in all existing light weapons and heavy firepower weapons, and can be said to be a weapon master. You must be very interested in his previous identity, he was an undercover police officer at first, he was the captain and chief instructor of the Gray Dolphin Commando Team before becoming a police officer, and finally he was brainwashed by the prophecy dog Tang Mang before concentrating on playing for the Sanyun Gang. ”
"Gray Dolphin Commando? Could it be the commando team that won the first place in the World Special Forces Competition? ”
"That's right. Therefore, this person's strength should not be underestimated, and perhaps it is also for this reason that Lei Zhen not only did not kill him after knowing his undercover identity, but reused this person. Guo Huairen's economic chain is arms, and it is said that the Sanyun Gang's arms reserves are about to catch up with the regular troops. Due to the current strength of the Sanyun Gang, few people dare to confront them, so that Guo Huairen has been idle in the past few years, so his whereabouts are also extremely erratic. ”
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze pondered for a moment, and Fang Fan said.
"With such a powerful Sanyun Gang, it's no wonder that Mishima doesn't let me provoke this organization easily."
Han Shuo continued.
"I don't need to introduce the last one of them."
"No need. It seems that the huge force behind what Liu Yi said at the beginning refers to the Sanyun Gang, presumably the questioner and Qiman both served the Sanyun Gang. However, after the questioner gathered the three holy relics, the illusions of the Sanyun Gang were shattered. ”
Zhang Ze said with shaking hands.
"Eighty percent of this account will be on our heads."
Fang Fan thought for a moment and then asked.
"Then does the Sanyun Gang have anything to do with the general?"
Han Shuo shook his head and said.
"The general's external information can only find that she is a collector, and there is nothing else, I have also tried to hack into the other party's database, but their protection methods are not ordinarily strong."
"Put the general's in advance. I have to give priority to solving the matter of the Sanyun Gang, after all, there are still two ghosts in the house. ”
Fang Fan picked up the photo of Jinqiu on the information and asked.
"Do you have any clue about this person? He is also a middle-level cadre of the Sanyun Gang? ”
Han Shuo took Jinqiu's photo and looked at it for a moment and said.
"There are only these five middle-level cadres of the Sanyun Gang, and as for this person, there is no information about him. What happened to him? ”
"No, nothing."
It seems that this one has to ask Jinqiu himself to know the truth. After Fang Fan and Zhang Ze left the Spring Bar, they went straight to the shroud shop. He had promised the mother and daughter that he would prepare a spiritual throne for them, and since he had said it, he had to honor it. There is a large shroud shop in the eastern part of the city, and it is said that it is also a business that has been passed down for generations.
For businesses like shroud shops and coffin shops, the boss will not take the initiative to ask the customers about their needs, and many times the guests will tell the boss about their needs first. This is especially important when buying a coffin, and when the customer chooses the coffin, the boss will knock three times on the coffin's head to tell those lonely souls and wild ghosts to retreat, and the coffin has been booked. But that's all a good idea, and now people are raving about their products in order to sell them quickly.
Today, the temperature is about 20 degrees, and the shroud shop has been closed. When Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked into the store, they suddenly felt a chilly atmosphere, behind the old-fashioned glass counter stood a skinny old man, only a little taller than the counter, and a pair of reading glasses did not know whether it was on the bridge of his nose or on his high cheekbones. When Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked in, the old man looked down at the two of them from above his reading glasses. Zhang Ze felt that the cold air in the store was very uncomfortable, so he opened the door on one side, and the old man walked out of the counter silently, closed the door casually, and said quietly.
"The things here can't stand the heavy yang energy outside, so I'm tired of the two of you to take care of some."
Zhang Ze looked at the old man when he heard the voice, he was wearing a Tang suit, thick-soled cloth shoes on his feet, and his two hands were naturally crossed in his sleeves, and even his smile had an eerie atmosphere.
"I don't understand what you mean when you say that things here can't stand the yang energy outside."
The old man waved his hand and said.
"I don't know. It's all innocuous fate. The shop is old, and the objects are old, and no matter what it is, it smells of rot. ”
The old man walked back into the counter as he spoke, his long nails tapping lightly on the glass counter, Fang Fan said.
"Boss, I want to buy a spiritual seat."
The old man turned to look at the shelves behind him and asked.
"Honoring our ancestors?"
Fang Fan paused for a moment and said.
"No... No, it's temporary. ”
The old man's hand, which was still rummaging through the shelves, suddenly stopped, he turned to look at Fang Fan intently, and said.
"Boy, come closer."
Fang Fan leaned over the counter in surprise, the old man looked at Fang Fan and then walked out of the counter again and came to him. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were both wondering what he wanted to do, at this moment, the scrawny old man in front of him suddenly grabbed Fang Fan's wrist, Fang Fan's first reaction was to quickly break free, but no matter how hard he tried, the old man's hand was pinching his wrist like pliers. Seeing this, Zhang Ze was about to step forward to help, and just as he was about to start, the old man flicked at Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze suddenly felt as if he had been pushed hard by something, and unconsciously took a few steps back. When Zhang Ze was about to step forward again, Fang Fan suddenly shook his head at him and motioned to Zhang Ze not to act rashly. After a while, the old man let go of his hand, Fang Fan looked at the two red finger marks on his wrist and said.
"What do you mean, old man?"
The old man walked into the counter and said quietly.
"Powerful ghosts, you actually plan to buy spiritual positions to worship them, aren't you helping to abuse?"
Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were both shocked, how could this seemingly ordinary old man know that they had a powerful ghost. Fang Fan asked.
"How do you know, old man?"
"Yin Tang is black, the pulse is chaotic, the most important thing is that there is a black line on your forehead pointing straight to the heart, and you will be killed by the evil ghost in less than three days."
"I admit that there are indeed two ghosts in the house who have taken refuge, but they are both good ghosts..."
The old man waved his hand to interrupt Fang Fan's words and said.
"A ghost who kills people is also a good ghost? Don't say any more, if you don't want to die, bring them to me. I'll help them get over and help them reincarnate as soon as possible. ”
"Why are you helping us?"
"Helping you? Don't get me wrong, I just don't want those lonely ghosts to suffer in the sun. ”
"Thank you."
After that, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze left the shroud shop, and Zhang Ze asked.
"Old Fang, did we really send that mother and daughter to that old man?"
"Actually, what he said is right, they are ghosts, and if they kill Situ Yingnan, they will soon be devoured by yin qi and become powerful ghosts. At that time, they will have no way out but to be scattered. ”
After the two returned home, they called the mother and daughter out, and said to them the words of the old man in the shroud shop concisely, and the female ghost said quietly.
"As long as we can take revenge, our mother and daughter will obey Engong's arrangement in everything."
Fang Fan nodded with relief, just now he was still worried that the female ghost would disagree, but he didn't expect to agree so quickly. When he heard that the mother and daughter were leaving, Nian Yi walked to Fang Fan's side and tugged at his pants, Fang Fan squatted down and asked.
"Nianyi, what's wrong?"
Nian Yi looked at the little girl and said.
"Dad, I have something for that sister."
Fang Fan nodded and said.
"If people don't like it, don't force them."
"I know."
Nian Yi came to the little girl with a red bracelet and said.
"Sister, this is for you."
The little girl stared blankly at the red bracelet in her hand, and after a while, she actually shed two lines of tears, not blood tears, but transparent warm tears. The little girl nodded, and Nianyi carefully tied the red bracelet to the little girl's wrist, and the female ghost said to Nianyi.
"Thank you."
Nian Yi immediately showed a happy and satisfied smile. At this time, Fang Fan said.
"Let's almost go."
With that, the mother and daughter hid in the black veil again. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze took the mother and daughter back to the shroud shop, and as soon as they entered the shroud shop, the mother and daughter suddenly ran out of the black veil and breathed the yin qi in the store. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze suddenly noticed that the expressions of the mother and daughter gradually became terrifying and hideous after breathing yin qi, just as they felt strange, the female ghost suddenly rushed over and grabbed Zhang Ze's neck, just as the little girl was about to rush over, they saw that the red rope on her wrist was emitting a bright red light, and it was that light that fixed the little girl in the distance and couldn't move.
Zhang Ze struggled hard, but it was difficult to break free from the female ghost no matter what. When the old man opened the curtain, he happened to see this scene, and he immediately raised his hand and flicked it in the air, and the female ghost flew out screaming. Immediately after that, the old man raised his hand, pointed his two fingers into the air, and suddenly a peachwood sword appeared from under a pile of paper figures and paper horses, and the old man used his fingers to control the peachwood sword and nailed the female ghost to the wall. The old man walked up to them with his hands behind his back and said to Zhang Ze.
"Keep your head down."
Zhang Ze obediently lowered his head, and the old man wiped his hand on his neck, and the pinch marks left by the female ghost on his neck just now disappeared immediately. The old man said lightly.
"I'll just say they're not good at stubble."
"It's not all because I inhaled yin qi in your store that I became like this."
"This is their essence, inhaling yin qi only accelerates their changes, even if they don't suck them into powerful ghosts, it's only a matter of time."
Fang Fan looked at the female ghost being nailed to the wall and asked.
"Is there anything that can be done now? To tell you the truth, they can't surpass them yet, and they still have to avenge them. ”
The old man suddenly glared at Fang Fan with a serious expression and said.
"If they take revenge, they won't be able to turn back."
"I can't tell you that I understand, you put her down first and let her talk to you."
The old man sighed, nodded, and said.
"Well, let's go and get rid of their anger first."
The old man waved his hand, and the mother and daughter were taken to the backyard by the old man like two balloons, and just as Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were about to follow up, suddenly a child stopped in front of them and said.
"You can't go in, only when Master tells you to."
After about a stick of incense, the old man opened the curtain and said.
"Come in."
After Fang Fan and Zhang Ze entered, they saw two large vats in the backyard, and the mouths of the vats were tightly sealed with peach wood covers. At this time, the old man had a word, and then pointed to the air, only to see that the peach wood cover of the cylinder mouth was instantly broken by the things in the cylinder, and then the mother and daughter climbed out of the two cylinders respectively.
