Chapter 481: Red Water Town

The fief of the Wang family, now there are more than 800 miles, although it is located in the border area, but it is not a real deserted place, after all, it is the border with the Great Shang Dynasty, and it is also rich in ores, the Chiyun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, there are countless roads leading to the Great Shang Dynasty, and the border trade has always been a developed place, along the Chiyun Mountains, there are many prosperous places that rely on the border trade.

The fief of the Wang family is 800 miles, and among the fiefdoms, there is also a place where the focus of border trade is Hongshui Town.

Although Hongshui Town is not big, it is an important place for commerce and trade, and a large number of merchants come and go every day, and it has formed a large town with a resident population of more than 100,000 and a floating population of nearly one million, and the population in it can almost be compared with that of a large county town.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.

There are a lot of people in this place, and the interests are big, which will naturally cause a lot of contention, thinking that this is a fiefdom directly under the royal family of Baoyue, and the capital of Baoyue is too far away, the royal family just sent a few permanent officials, responsible for collecting taxes, and it will be over, as long as there is a lot of my taxes, even if you beat out the head dog brain, I will not take care of it, therefore, the internal disputes in this Hongshui Town are very large, people die in the stinky ditch every day, and even on the streets, there are often mutual slashing and killing, the law and order are extremely chaotic, and no one cares at all。

But now it's different, this has become the fief of the Wang family, and the taxes that originally needed to be handed over to the royal family had to be handed over to the Wang family, but since the fief was changed, Hongshui Town has not paid taxes to the Wang family once, and the strength of the Wang family is too weak, and they can't manage the wolf-like Hongshui Town at all, the Wang family of Wuduoyan Lane, which should now be called the Wang family of Chiyun Mountain, has now become a joke in Hongshui Town.

Redwater is just a typical example.

In fact, what Wang Hong said just now that he could control a range of 100 miles is already a bit exaggerated.

The strength of the Wang family is too weak, the powerful martial artist is Wang Tong, Wang Hong is barely counted as one, and the guests in the family are mainly responsible for teaching martial arts and protecting the family, but they have no task of external warfare, so even if it is within a hundred miles, it is not very peaceful.

Not to mention a hundred miles away, it is simply a place where bandits are rampant, and it is very chaotic.

In the face of these pressures, it is false for you to say that the Wang family is not in a hurry, but no matter what the urgency is, there is no way, the foundation is too thin.

Therefore, hearing Wang Tong's words, whether it was Wang Shan or Wang Hong, they all showed surprise.

"Chongtian, what are you going to do?"

"Hongshui Town is the key, if you take this place, you will have a fixed source of money, in addition, give me a list of those who are up-and-coming and famous, and I will clean them up one by one. ”

"Okay!" Wang Hong and Wang Shan exchanged glances, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

........................

In the early morning, the red sun is rising, the light is great, Chiyun Mountain, Hongshui Town

A thoroughfare that is five or six zhang wide stretches straight out from Hongshui Town, connecting the Chiyun Mountains, the wide river flows around the town, and on the wharf, the sails are gathered, the traffic is busy, and it is not lively.

Several corpses lay scattered on the side of the avenue, waiting for the corpse collector to come and collect the corpse.

This is the norm of Hongshui Town, this place is just like Shanghai Beach in Wang Tong's previous life, it sounds like an adventurer's paradise, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a magic capital where demons dance wildly.

It is said to be a town, but whether it is seen from the outside or from the inside, it is a city, but there are no walls necessary for the city on the periphery, and there are no soldiers who usually patrol, but they rely on the warriors in Hongshui Town to maintain order spontaneously.

It is said that it is to maintain order, but in fact it is very simple, to protect those merchants who have paid protection fees, and at the same time, during the day, to collect the corpses of the violent corpse wilderness, that's all.

Today's Hongshui Town has three major forces, one is the Hongshui Wharf, the Hongshui Wharf controls nearly ninety percent of the ferries in Hongshui Town, and is responsible for the transshipment business of Hongshui Town, which is very powerful, and almost all the goods in Hongshui Town have to be transferred out through their hands, which is the first force in Hongshui Town; in addition, there are two major gangs, the White Tiger Gang and the Ten Thousand Knife Society.

These two gangs are all sitting tigers, specializing in collecting protection fees in Hongshui Town, and those who do business and sell goods in Hongshui Town have to go through these two gangs to scrape a layer of oil.

Originally, Hongshui Town needed to pay taxes to the royal family, so the royal family had a tax collector here, but as this land was given to the royal family, the tax collector of the royal family was also transferred, don't think that the tax collector is gone, you don't have to pay taxes, where is such a good thing, as soon as the tax collector leaves, the taxes originally paid have now been completely transferred to the hands of the three major forces, and no one can escape.

In addition to these three major forces, there are more than a dozen slightly smaller forces in Hongshui Town, and these large and small gang forces are each attached to the three major forces, and they are their thugs and minions.

Nor did they have the need to put it in their eyes.

The Wang family is just a merchant family, such a merchant family, there are many in Hongshui Town, which one is not obediently prostrate at his feet, and when the day comes, he obediently sends money and women to the door, but it is just a fluke that there is a character, can it still turn the sky upside down?

As for Wang Tong, the first arrest in the six doors, a rare talent once in a thousand years, is indeed terrifying, but the distant water can't save the near fire, then Wang Tong is far away in Chaoge City, and he is the chief arrester of the six doors, and the affairs are busy, how can there be that idle time to deal with some small things in his own fiefdom?

What's more, even if he comes, what if Wang Tong is just a martial artist, although Hongshui Town is small, but it is not without the existence of martial artists, and the most important thing is that there are backers behind these three major forces, some of them rely on some families of the Great Shang Dynasty near the Chiyun Mountain Range, and some rely on some families of Baoyue Kingdom, and most of the wealth they looted in Hongshui Town is given to these families for protection.

This is the root of their arrogance.

However, no matter how arrogant he was, when the news of Wang Tong's beheading of Wuzong reached Hongshui Town, the atmosphere in Hongshui Town became weird.

In the big mansion at the east end of Hongshui Town, the lights were bright for several nights in a row, and everyone knew that the few old faces in the town had been nesting in the mansion for the past few days, thinking about how to deal with it!

It's so scary!!

Wu Zong, Zhenguo Wu Zong, this is a character who can suppress a country's luck!

Such people have been killed by Wang Tong, no matter what Wang Tong's true cultivation is, the combat power is very strong, but no matter how strong the family is, they will never be willing to face a guy who can kill the Martial Sect, no one is stupid than anyone.

"Kill Wu Zong, I don't believe it, he is a kid in his early twenties, he can't have such strong strength!"

In the conference hall, a group of people who had been arguing for three days and three nights had bloodshot eyes and were obviously in poor spirits, and the person who spoke was a middle-aged man, with a disheveled head, a full beard, and an unpleasant smell of sweat all over his body, and a sheepskin jacket wrapped around his body, which was very non-mainstream.

"It doesn't matter if he has the strength or not, even if it is really as some rumors say, the person was not killed by him, but by the person behind him, things are no different, with the strength to kill the Martial Sect, it is definitely something we can fight against. A scholar-like man held his long beard under his chin and raised his eyebrows.

"The people behind him can help him kill Wu Zong, and they may not be able to help him get out of this. Another person raised an objection, "It's one thing to kill Wuzong, and it's another thing to fight for territory." ”

"Okay, don't argue, we've been arguing for three days, is it useful?" an old man sitting on the throne looked at the people below him with a look of disgust on his face, "Now the question is what we should do, whether we should surrender or not." ”

"Boss Hu, you are the boss of the Hongshui River Wharf, in terms of power, no one here can compare with you, in terms of background, no one can compare with you, this Hongshui Town, you call the second, no one dares to call the boss, just say something!"

"Yes, Boss Hu, you decide, even if you want to completely hand over Hongshui Town to the Wang family, we will admit it!"

"yes, yes!!"

All of a sudden, the heads of the large and small forces in the hall were all puffed up.

Boss Hu squinted his eyes, he was in his sixties, he looked like he was in his early forties, his face was white and beardless, and his body exuded an elegant atmosphere, his eyes swept over everyone's bodies one by one, and the council room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at him with blank eyes, waiting for his decision.

After being silent for a long time, Boss Hu finally spoke, "He killed Wuzong, no matter what means he used, he can make a Wuzong hate, since it is not something we can fight against, then we might as well treat him as a Wuzong, in the past, the Baoyue royal family had Wuzong Bai Chengtian suppressed, so we paid tribute to the royal family to show surrender, and now he is also a Wuzong, so let's do it as such, what was previously given to the royal family, a lot of money was given to the Wang family, in this way, no one has anything to say, what do you think?"

"This ......"

As soon as Boss Hu finished speaking, there was a buzz in the conference hall for a while, and then everyone fell silent, and their faces showed a look of pain.

looked at Boss Hu with a look of anticipation.

Taxes, that's a lot of income!

Since Hongshui Town was divided into the Wang family, it has never paid a penny of taxes, but the taxes of Hongshui Town are still collected, and these guys are all eating with oil at the corners of their mouths, so unhappy, but now they let them hand over the meat to their mouths, who can be willing to give it.

"What's the matter?" Boss Hu's squinted eyes glared violently, and the huge spiritual pressure surged around like a tide, and the faces of everyone in the council hall changed, and their expressions became ugly.

Boss Hu is the boss of the Hongshui River Wharf, and he is also the strongest cultivator among all of them, a five-rank martial artist, such a cultivation is enough to become an elder of the eight-rank family, and it is precisely because of this overwhelming strength that he can say one thing and dominate one side in Hongshui Town.

"What did you just say, all of them listened to my decision, and now that my decision has been made, do you still have any doubts?" Boss Hu said in a deep voice, "If you want to talk about losses, who has the greatest loss, is it you? No, it's me, it's our Hongshui River Wharf, but is it okay if this account is not paid? Can you get by? Don't think that the Wang family is just a new family, it used to be just a business family, and they all look down on them? What qualifications do you have?"

Speaking of this, Boss Hu's voice suddenly increased a lot, and he was also a lot more severe, "People are business families, but they have produced a talent, a talent that is rare in six doors for a thousand years, just by virtue of this, which one of you is more capable than you, and you will also have one?" Don't say anything about killing Wu Zong has not been confirmed, it is exaggerated, there are such as the help of masters, he can kill a Wu Zong, whether he did it himself, or someone helped, it shows that he has the ability to fight against Wu Zong, not to mention the Wu Zong of the Evil God Party, it is not comparable to ordinary Wu Zong, even if it is Bai Chengtian of Baoyue Kingdom, it is not easy to beat him, it is impossible to kill him, in this case, is it wrong for us to treat him as the same existence as Bai Chengtian? Since he is an existence of the same level as Bai Chengtian, then, in the past, we handed over the tax to Bai Chengtian, and now we will give him the tax, is there a problem?"

Everyone who said this fell silent.

Yes, in the past, we handed over the taxes to the royal family, and the royal family had the support of Bai Chengtian, but now we hand over the taxes to the Wang family, Wang Chongtian is the backbone of the Wang family, if Wang Chongtian and Bai Chengtian are equal, then everything will be simpler.

"Now that Boss Hu has decided, we will respect Boss's decision, so it's decided. After pondering for a moment, the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Society made up his mind, "Just give the tax to the Wang family." ”

"Yan Baihu, what do you say?"

Yan Baihu is the leader of the White Tiger Gang and the founder of the White Tiger Gang, and the name of the White Tiger Gang is also named after him.

This is a tall middle-aged man, with short hair, eyes like electricity, and two white eyebrows that are extremely eye-catching.

"The two of you have already decided, so naturally I don't have any opinions, but I'll talk about it here, taxes are taxes, and in addition to taxes, our White Tiger Gang won't have another son. ”

"Of course, the taxes have been paid, does the Wang family dare to make an inch, this is Hongshui Town!" said a big man in the hall.

His words immediately caused a burst of echo.

"Yes, handing over the taxes to them is already considered to give them face, the Wang family is just a nine-grade family, and it can be compared with the royal family of Baoyue Kingdom, it is already to promote him, if you want me to say, just give them half of the taxes, even if Wang Chongtian has the strength of Wuzong, he is just another Bai Chengtian, but what is the Wang family, can it stop me from a finger?"

"Yes, in fact, it's okay to give half of it, and I won't have any opinions if I want to come to the Wang family. ”

It's a bastard to have a advantage and not take advantage of it, and these people have finally got the tax revenue of Hongshui Town in their hands, and if they get the benefits, how can they be willing to really give up the benefits? The three bosses set the tone at the same time, and they naturally didn't dare to have an opinion, but now someone picked out the matter, and the council room suddenly became noisy again.

The scene in the hall was a little chaotic, Boss Hu frowned, a little annoyed, these guys were all carried away by the benefits, and were blinded by lard, in the face of the strong strength of the Wu Sect, the power of the Jiupin family can be ignored at all, these family members still want to take advantage of others, and even their own words are regarded as deaf ears!

Feeling his majesty damaged, he snorted coldly, and a cold wind blew, and the surroundings fell silent again.

"Don't say it, since it has been decided, let's do it according to the rules that have been set, and hand over the tax to the Wang family, you think this is enough, but I'm afraid they don't think it's enough!"

"Don't think it's enough?" Yan Baihu raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I've already given him the tax, what else does he want, does he want to control Hongshui Town? Joke!!"

Yan Baihu's words fell, and a light laugh reached everyone's ears, "This is not a joke, I don't want to control Hongshui Town, I want to control Hongshui Town!"
