Chapter 513: Mirror Lake City Hu Family
Baoyue Country, Mirror Lake City
This is just a small city on the mainland of Baoyue, which does not produce any resources and has no transportation arteries, just an ordinary city that can no longer be ordinary, and ordinary can no longer be ordinary. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The population is not much, less than a million, the area is not large, especially the area of the main city is very small, this is an inconspicuous small city, so there are no really powerful martial arts sects and families, there are only three small nine-grade families, Hu, Fang, and Liu, the three-legged tripod, for hundreds of years, there have been no special changes, very stable.
Until thirty years ago, the Hu family suddenly got up, and several martial arts talents came out of the clan one after another, and their strength increased greatly, although it was not enough to raise the family's grade to eight grades, but it also pressed the Fang and Liu families out of breath, and as a last resort, they joined hands to barely withstand the squeeze of the Hu family, but Rao is so, the Hu family's power has expanded rapidly in the past few decades, and it has almost occupied half of Jinghu City.
"In this way, this Hu family has a lot of eyeliner in Mirror Lake City?!"
"Yes, sir. β
At this time, in an inconspicuous inn in Jinghu City, Wang Cheng, the head catcher of Jinghu City, dressed up as a businessman and stood respectfully in front of Wang Tong.
"In the past few decades, the Hu family has wantonly gathered the scattered cultivation at the bottom, and the power has expanded extremely fast, there are more than a dozen Zhuangzi outside the city, and seventy or eighty percent of the scattered cultivation in the city has become the minions of the Hu family. β
Wang Tong glanced at the clothes on his body, and couldn't help laughing, "You can bear it, what are you afraid of when you are a dignified six-door catcher, and you are disguised on your own territory?"
"The subordinates are afraid a lot, in the past ten years, the Hu family has collected too many scattered cultivations, and a large part of the others have been stuffed into the six doors by them, you know, these six doors, except for the head catcher, the other personnel are all appointed by the government, and I don't want to interfere too much, now among these six doors, there are seventy or eighty percent of the people who are from the Hu family, and no news can be hidden from the Hu family. β
"In that case, how did this clue come from?!" Although he had long known that the Hu family was covering the sky in Jinghu City, Wang Tong didn't expect that his power would be so big, and even the six doors were infiltrated so deeply, he couldn't help but be curious, if this was the case, then how could he get clues about the Hu family from Jinghu City?
"It's also the bad luck of the Hu family, Zheng Shu's kid and the second child of the Hu family have a deep feud in the sea of blood, after escaping from death, he sneaked into Jinghu City, wholeheartedly for revenge, more than ten years of forbearance, but he has clearly felt the details of the Hu family in Jinghu City, so at the beginning, he didn't say what he knew, just pretended not to know, and behaved like no one else, but later secretly found me and told me about it, and I only learned. β
"Where is that Zheng Shu now?!"
"I am still a junior in Fengyun Building, so as not to expose flaws. β
"But a bold and careful person!" Wang Tong listened, and couldn't help but have a strong interest in this little second named Zheng Shu.
Judging from the known intelligence, this Zheng Shu is less than forty years old today, he was originally a loose cultivator in Jinghu City, and it is a bit reluctant to say that he is a loose cultivator, he was just a martial artist, and he may not have the opportunity to become a warrior in his life, but he didn't expect luck to come, and he got a good martial arts secret, so it attracted the legendary bloody plot, the protagonist is the second young master Hu, this guy learned about Zheng Shu's encounter, and then coveted that martial arts, and then the next development is the beginning of Zheng Shu's miserable lifeγ
It's a pity that Hu Ershao didn't expect that he thought that he had cut the grass and eradicated the roots, but it was not, Zheng Shu was not only alive, but also sneaked into Jinghu City, and has been forbearing, like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, ready to take revenge on the Hu family at any time, and now, he finally saw the opportunity and sent a fatal blow.
Although Wang Tong is a little interested in him, but he also knows that now is not the time to look for him, in fact, his task has been completed, what he has to do now is to keep the original, not to show a trace of flaws, this matter is so big, whether it is the full participation of the Hu family, or only Hu Ershao is involved in the case, their spirit must be highly nervous, and it can even be said that they are extremely nervous, in this case, for every move in the entire Jinghu City, it must be extremely sensitive, every trace of wind and grass may startle the snake, and Wang Tong does not need such a result, he doesn't want to startle the snake, he wants to catch it allγ
That's why he and several other famous catchers dressed up in disguise, scattered into the city, and even entered different inns to rest, and at night, he secretly called the head catcher here, all for the purpose of not wanting to alarm the Hu family.
"You've been a headcatcher in Mirror Lake City for more than ten years, right?"
"For a full fourteen years, my subordinates grew up in Jinghu City since childhood, and I used to do casual cultivation, and Meng Yun always caught a heavy weapon, and was included in the six doors, and now it has been a full nineteen years, fourteen years ago, Mr. Yun was promoted, and he let his subordinates sit in this position, and it is ashamed to say that it is the subordinates who have been in power for more than ten years, and the power of the Hu family has expanded rapidly, to the point where it is now out of control. β
"Our six doors are not government offices, their functions are different, don't say that the Hu family has only grown in power slightly, that is, they have become an eight-grade family, and it has little to do with you, this is not the responsibility of our six doors, this board can't hit you. Wang Tong smiled, and directly erased the responsibility on his body to put it mildly.
Speaking of which, it is true, the six doors are to deal with bandits and unruly martial arts people, and there is only a cooperative relationship with the local family sects, and a family like the Hu family has the strength to place the bottom of the six doors into the six doors, which is a good thing, because once something happens in the place, the six doors can also be solved by the power of the local sect family, to put it bluntly, it is a symbiotic relationship with these local snakes.
Therefore, if it weren't for this incident, Wang Cheng would have liked to cooperate with the Hu family very much, in fact, in the past ten years, he has cooperated very well with the Hu family, and the Hu family's ability to expand its strength so smoothly is not unrelated to the convenience given by the six doors secretly, so he will be a little panicked.
"Based on your understanding of the Hu family, do you think this matter is the personal behavior of the second child of the Hu family, or is it the problem of the entire Hu family?!"
"This is not Hu Laoer's behavior alone, there is a problem with the Hu family, there is a big problem!" Wang Cheng stood up and said categorically, and his tone was so sure that Wang Tong was also very curious.
"Why?!"
"If it weren't for this matter, the subordinates wouldn't have understood, but something like this happened, and it was related to the Hu family, the more the subordinates thought about it, the more they felt wrong, think about it, thirty years ago, the Hu family suddenly rose, developed rapidly, and it seems that luck has come up, like many rising families, there is not much difference, but in connection with the changes that have taken place in Jinghu City in the past 30 years, especially in the past ten years, I found out that unconsciously, the Hu family has controlled the entire Jinghu City. β
"Aren't there two other ones?!"
"Those two families don't have to worry, the reason why the Hu family didn't clean them up is completely to give the outside world an assumption, there are still three legs in Jinghu City, I can be sure that the other two are actually like the six doors, they have long been emptied by the Hu family and become the puppets of the Hu family. β
"Is it that serious?!"
"In the past ten years, the scattered cultivation in Mirror Lake City has not increased much, but the strength of these scattered cultivation has been significantly enhanced, this enhancement is not one or two, but a large range, fifteen years ago, eighty percent of the scattered cultivation in Mirror Lake City were martial artists, only two percent of the warriors, but now, only thirty percent of the martial arts, and the other seventy percent are warriors, and these warriors are all inextricably linked with the Hu family. β
"With the status of the Hu family in Mirror Lake, it is not uncommon for these warriors to have a connection with the Hu family. Wang Tong shook his head and said, "What I'm concerned about is that since there are so many warriors, will there be many martial artists as well?"
"That's exactly the case!" Listening to Wang Tong's words, Wang Cheng showed a look of admiration, "The subordinates also think so, what if there are martial artists hidden among these warriors? For more than ten years, as long as there are enough resources and exercises, it is enough to cultivate a group of martial artists." β
That's a big problem.
In the Panwu Continent, martial artists and samurai are two completely different concepts.
A samurai is just an ordinary warrior, but a martial artist can already support a family.
From a legal point of view, as long as a family has one martial artist, it is qualified to fight for the status of a martial arts family.
Of course, under normal circumstances, one martial artist is definitely not enough.
Like the previous five-eyed Wang family, the ancestor of the Wang family was a martial artist, but the Wang family at that time was not a martial arts family, a family that only had a martial artist, and if it wanted to become a martial arts family, it was necessary to compete with other families, or, when it was right with the real martial arts family, knock down a martial arts family, only in this way could it be recognized as a martial arts family.
In the past, although the ancestor of the Wang family was a martial artist, neither his combat power nor his strength was enough to pull the Wang family into the ranks of the martial arts family until Wang Tong appeared.
In today's Panwu Continent, generally speaking, if you are in a small place, such as Baoyue Kingdom, if you want to become a nine-grade martial arts family, there must be at least three martial artists in the family, and in a **** country like the Great Shang Dynasty, there are no ten or eight martial artists in the town, and no high-grade martial artists are suppressed in the family, it is impossible to become a martial arts family at all.
Jinghu City is an inland city in Baoyue Country, a small city, so the threshold for becoming a martial arts family is also very low, but even so, the current two big families, on the surface, each family has three martial artists.
Like the Hu family, there are now eight martial artists on the bright side, and it is these eight martial artists that make the Hu family overwhelm the other two in terms of strength on the bright side, and everyone is speculating that if the Hu family can have ten martial artists, they will be qualified to be among the eight world runners, this is Wang Cheng's idea a month ago, but now, his mind has changed. If there are some martial artists in the scattered cultivation of Mirror Lake City, then the strength of the Hu family must not be counted as an ordinary nine-rank family, and I am afraid that an ordinary eight-rank family may not be their opponent.
What exactly do they want to do?
