Chapter 28 Chasing the Murderer in the Desert Twenty-Eighth

Hou Lao continued to tell Qin Tai that there are some residents in Huiyan Town who are old residents, and they are the old people in Huiyan Town. Ordinary people don't know about the past of Hui Yan Town, and people who return to Yan Town strictly prohibit anyone from inquiring about the past of Hui Yan Town. Whether it is an outsider or one's own people, anyone who wants to inquire about the past is guilty of the taboo of returning to Yanzhen, beating and scolding the light, driving out of Huiyanzhen, and even killing him on the spot. In fact, the reason why Huiyan Town is so mysterious is because Huiyan Town has several disgraceful pasts. During the Zhengzheng period, the Chenghua period and the Zhengde period, Huiyan Town was occupied by foreign tribes three times. But in order to survive, everyone once knelt down and swore allegiance to these minority tribes. Because of this, everyone agreed to keep their mouths shut, and no one was allowed to inquire about the past.

Hou Lao told Qin Tai that there was still a family in Jinyiwei here before, their surname was Qian, and the two families supervised each other and intermarried. But later, when foreigners invaded Huiyan Town, something happened to the Qian family. Because one of the daughters of the Qian family was captured by the tribesmen, in order to save their daughters, the Qian family actually said that they were from the imperial court. The Qian family was taken away by foreigners, and it is said that the Qian family was killed by foreigners, but before they died, they were kept out of all their secrets. Fortunately, the Qian family didn't say anything about the Hou family, otherwise the Hou family would be finished. The foreigners used this information to secretly organize manpower to deal with Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei suffered serious losses. Afterwards, the Jinyiwei headquarters sent people to investigate, and the Jinyiwei in Gansu suffered two-thirds of the casualties, and the headquarters ordered a strict investigation of the Qian family, and all those who survived were beheaded. The Hou family was not involved, and they also concealed the information that the female family was the Qian family, so no one was ruined.

In Huiyan Town more than 30 years ago, it was very peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide was turbulent. Many outsiders came to Huiyan Town, and they gradually became the main controllers of Huiyan Town. At that time, in addition to the Hou family, who secretly monitored every move in Huiyan Town, the old residents of Huiyan Town formed an "Old Brother Association", which actually dealt with the daily affairs of Huiyan Town. At that time, when there were more outsiders, they also organized an alliance called the "Merchant Gang". Today's leather shops, hotels, brothels, etc., are subordinate forces controlled by the "trade road gang". The third force is the Gale Dart Bureau, and the leader is the Golden Dao Luo Feng. The "Brotherhood" has local resources in their hands, as well as local guys, and they need to rely on them to take the trade route. The "Shanglu Gang" is rich and powerful, controls half of the foreign business of Huiyan Town, and is said to have a good relationship with robbers everywhere. Everyone said that the leader of the "Trade Road Gang" was very mysterious, and not many people knew about it, so everyone called him Uncle Helian. Hou Lao knows a little more, this Uncle Helian is a mixed race, and he has a bloodline that is foreign. His origin is very mysterious, but he is not a person who returned to Yanzhen, and in just a few years of returning to Yanzhen, he used strong financial resources to establish his own territory and career, which shows that this person is not simple at all.

Uncle Helian not only wants to control Huiyan Town, but also wants to control the entire trade route. But he met an enemy, an unexpected one. He is Luo Feng of the Gale Dart Bureau, it is said that it is a coincidence that this Luo Feng went back and forth to Yan Town, and he was inadvertently saved by the daughter of an old resident of Yan Town. He had come here to experience the training, but when he met a robber, he snatched the entanglement and almost lost his life. The girl not only saved Luo Feng, but also brought him back to Huiyan Town to take care of him. Luo Feng was very young at the time, and he was not dragged down by his family, and gradually fell in love with girls. Just when Luo Feng was about to marry the girl, Luo Feng's grandfather found Luo Feng. It turned out that Luo Feng's parents died early, and he was raised by his grandfather, who ran a dart game. Now that his grandfather is old, he hopes that Luo Feng will inherit the career of the dart game. Luo Feng didn't want to live up to his grandfather's expectations, but he didn't want to be separated from the girl, so he simply moved the dart game to Huiyan Town. The dart bureau is an industry that escorts goods, and it is the starting point of the trade route, so I immediately received the first business. Gradually, the Gale Dart Bureau became famous, had certain business contacts, and became the third force in Huiyan Town.

Uncle Helian can be said to have a deep hatred for the Gale Dart Game, because the appearance of the Gale Dart Game has ruined Uncle Helian's overall plan. Uncle Helian worked hard to open a gap and had some industries in Huiyan Town, but it was absolutely not enough to control Huiyan Town. So he colluded with the robbers on the trade routes, cooperated with the bandits, and prepared to monopolize the trade routes. In fact, he only needs a short period of time, once the trade road is blocked, only his people have nothing to do, and the merchants and people who return to Yan Town can only rely on him on this road. In this way, he can completely control Huiyan Town and become the actual controller of Huiyan Town. At that time, he will not only be the king of Huiyan Town, but also the actual controller of the trade route. Merchants and bandits are mutually restrictive, merchants are afraid of bandits, bandits also need merchants, and they can't wipe out all merchants. Merchants are actually the food and clothing parents of bandits, they extort old merchants and rob small businesses, so that they can live. If the merchants don't do it, and there is no business, what will the bandits live on? Uncle Helian used bandits to control the merchants, and then used the merchants to threaten the bandits, so that the merchants and bandits became his Uncle Helian's subordinates, and this trade route was his personal ownership. This wishful thinking is really good, and the plan is also very thorough, but when Luo Feng intervenes, he destroys everything.

Because of Luo Feng's appearance, merchants don't have to worry about encountering bandits, even if they encounter bandits, it is best to be reasonable, and if they can't explain clearly, they will start fighting. Luo Feng's skills are good, and his kung fu is also very good, a small group of bandits is not their opponent, even if they encounter a large group of bandits, they can cover the merchants and goods to leave as soon as possible. In this way, the bandits can't scare the merchants, and the merchants don't have to worry about encountering bandits again because they have a dart game. The trade route will not be interrupted, and everyone will not have to take refuge in Uncle Helian. Uncle Helian used the bandits to block the trade routes, coerced the merchants to submit to him, and then used the merchants to control the bandits.

It shows that the local forces "Brother Club" in Yanzhen last time, Uncle Helian's "Business Road Gang", and Luo Feng's Gale Dart Bureau, the three forces are equal, and Huiyan Town is divided into three parts of the world. In fact, this was just a temporary phenomenon, which was well known to Hou Lao, who was still a young man at the time. Among the three forces, the "Brotherhood" has no appearance, not only has few connections with each other, but also has no real power. Once there is an incident on the trade route, the young people among them will either take refuge in the other two parties, or they will leave and return to Yanzhen. Besides, if the neighbors live for a long time, there will be some small conflicts, so the relationship between everyone is not very good. This kind of thing is commonplace in normal times, but in special times, it is an opportunity to be taken advantage of by outsiders. Besides, the Gale Dart Game looks very beautiful, but it is actually very dangerous. In Huiyan Town, their enemies are not only Uncle Helian, who is eyeing him, but also conservative old residents. In the eyes of these old residents, the Gale Dart Bureau is also an outsider, just like Uncle Helian who came to grab territory. After returning to Yanzhen, the dart bureau had to deal with official personnel, as well as some unscrupulous profiteers, and the biggest enemy was bandits.

The bandits on the trade road, because the dart game has a lot less business, they will definitely not let go of the dart game. Although the dart game also promised to pay tribute every year, it will definitely not kill the absolute side. But when you can directly collect "road fares" and "life money" by yourself, why do you want to change hands through the dart game? Besides, the price given by the dart game is nearly thirty percent less than before, and of course everyone is unwilling. If the dart game wins, the cost of the business that the dart game protects will be charged according to the meaning of the dart game, and the other businesses will be charged according to the old way. If the game is lost, the game must promise to increase the money or leave the trade route.

The result of several competitions was that the dart game had a slight upper hand, because the dart game had two masters, the golden knife Luo Feng and the divine fist. But bandits are not credibility people, and if they can't fight one-on-one, they will fight in groups. The number of bandits is definitely more than the number of people in the dart game, so the group fight dart game is lost to the bandits. Luo Feng had to agree to increase the fee by one percent, but the bandits still did not agree. Luo Feng was furious and fought his way out of the encirclement. It was publicly stated that if the bandits did not agree, it would be a big deal to take this road and take other trade routes instead. The bandits were dumbfounded, and had to agree to do so for the sake of their own jobs.

The business of the dart board gradually stabilized, but Hou Lao became worried. Because not only Uncle Helian and the bandits are eyeing the dart game, but even the government is gradually paying attention to the dart game. If the dart bureau does not defect to the government, it will monitor the targets of the government's attack. Once the dart board refuses to cooperate with the government, the enemies of the dart board will target the dart board, and even join forces with the official to deal with the dart board. According to Luo Feng and Ma Xingkong's temper, it is very likely that he will have a stalemate with the official. They will definitely not help the official bully the common people, control this Huiyan Town, and control the trade routes. In this case, the gale dart game is dangerous, and Luo Feng and Ma Xingkong are dangerous. As expected, after Luo Feng couldn't talk to an official official, Uncle Helian found the official. The official acquiesced to Uncle Helian for the dart game, and in the future, after Uncle Helian took control of Huiyan Town, he would not only share 30% of the profits to the official family, but also promise to help the official control of Huiyan Town and the trade route.

Uncle Helian went to find some powerful bandits and promised them great benefits. The bandits and Uncle Helian teamed up to deal with the dart game, robbed some goods, and killed some dart masters and merchants. The dart game not only greatly reduced its strength, but also had to bear the compensation, and the dart game was chaotic for a while. At this time, Uncle Helian's henchmen infiltrated the dart game and made a ******** in Luo Feng's meal, and soon after, he unknowingly took Luo Feng's life. As soon as Luo Feng died, half of the dart game was destroyed, and then the killer was arranged to sneak attack Ma Xingkong, destroying the last "pillar" of the dart game. The official took advantage of the opportunity to extort a large sum of money from the dart board, which made the dart game even worse and had to close its doors. In fact, there are three types of murderers in the dart game, the first is Uncle Helian, who is the absolute mastermind. The second is official, they ride a decisive role. The third is the bandits, their most direct participants and executors.
