Chapter 716: The Three Great Groups
In Changning County, there are only three gangs. It's not correct to say it's a gang, after all, it's just a small county town, three gray area groups. These three groups, one is called the Money Club, which specializes in opening gambling houses, and basically the five big casinos in the county are all operated by the Money Club behind the scenes. If it's just an ordinary gambling house, then it's okay, but these people often squeeze the last drop of oil and water out of people through thousands of dollars and usury, which can be regarded as notorious.
The other is called Flea Hall, which sounds interesting, but is actually a group of pickpockets uniting together. They took the "flea on the drum" as their ancestor, so they called it the flea hall.
The last one, the Hero Building, sounds full of righteousness. However, it is extremely bad on the inside. The Hero Building is a peddler's business, and has a connection with various local green houses, and often sells some women from other places to the green building, which is the most despised.
These three groups, like rats in a dark corner, have always represented the dark side of Changning County. The people who joined these three groups were also intricate, and in addition to some unproductive gangsters, there were also some coolies and beggars. Ordinary people don't dare to offend them at all, even the government doesn't want to provoke them.
It's not that the government is afraid of them, after all, the government represents the imperial court, and as long as the boss is willing, these people can be uprooted at any time. However, these people have not achieved enough, but they have more than failed. In case you run away with some fish that slip through the net, he will give you some disgusting things in the city, and your evaluation in the Ministry of Officials next year may be the next grade. This makes many officials who regard official hats as their lives, how can they be willing to tear their faces with them?
Moreover, with these people here, at least the low-level people in the city can be restrained, so that they don't go too far. Without these three gangs, the city would be really mixed and difficult to manage.
However, these three gangs are destined to become history, because it is a hundred regular soldiers who come to encircle and suppress them. Even if these soldiers are rotten guards, even if these guards have not practiced for a long time, they are still an invincible existence for the three gangs.
It's not about being stronger than whom, it's worse than whom.
No matter how bad the guards were, they also had swords, bows and crossbows, and even a few firecrackers to find out. And what's in that gang? The flea hall is full of thieves, the hero building is mostly turtle and tooth woman, and the strongest combat power is the money club, and at most there are a few thugs who take care of the house.
Moreover, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, do you dare to resist? If you resist, it is equivalent to rebellion. On the contrary, if you are obediently restrained, it is a matter of squatting in prison for a few days, and when the limelight passes, everyone can come out again.
Therefore, in just one day, all the people of the three gangs were surrounded and suppressed, and even their halls were sealed, and the original invincible tumor of Changning became a thing of the past.
"Boss, Zhao Laohu, the boss of the Money Club, has run away. After completely exterminating the three gangs, a servant secretly approached the side of the team leader and whispered.
Hearing this, the team leader's heart immediately sank, and what he was most worried about really happened. The main force of this encirclement and suppression is the soldiers of the Hundred Households, who are not familiar with the city, nor do they know the bosses of the three gangs, so it is easy for people to run away. This person ran away, and he didn't dare to provoke the hundred households, but they, the local officials, would suffer.
In particular, the person who escaped turned out to be Zhao Laohu, Zhao Laohu, not a native of Changning, there are rumors that he used to be a bandit leader, and later was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, so he fled to Changning and started a gambling house.
Relying on his strong force, he quickly gained a firm foothold in Changning, and also recruited a lot of subordinates, becoming one of the three major gangs, not even comparable to the Flea Hall and the Hero Building.
"Boss, what can I do, if Zhao Laohu wants to retaliate, I'm afraid that we will be the first to suffer. "A servant is crying with a sad face, this Zhao Laohu is not a good stubble, if he really wants to go crazy, then no one dares to guarantee what he will do. Especially in this matter, those officials above are the officials of the imperial court after all, Zhao Laohu has to be careful, and the hundred households are far away from here, and the force is strong, Zhao Laohu will definitely not dare to provoke. Only these officials, who have been rooted here for generations, have many relatives in their families, and are vulnerable to retaliation.
"Hmph, Xu Xufeng's order is also a person he sent, but now he wants us to take the blame, but there is no door. Liu Rong, you will go to a few literate gentlemen in a while, ask them to write some articles of praise, and say that Commander Xu has made great merits, sent troops to exterminate the three major gangs, and then ordered people to spread it around, and it will definitely be within a few days, so that everyone will know about it. A sneer appeared on the face of the team leader, and he had been thinking about how to deal with this matter since his back road was cut off.
Isn't this Xu Xufeng very powerful, then let everyone know how powerful you are. In this way, the hatred of Zhao Laohu and others will be transferred to Xu Xufeng.
"By the way, Xu Xufeng has a father who lives in Sheephorn Village. You have to whisper about this as well. When he had finished speaking, he said one more thing.
"Boss, you're smart. "The official is not stupid, as soon as he hears this, how can he not know the intentions of his own team, it is clear that he is planning to cause trouble. No matter how powerful you Xu Xufeng is, the scope of your strength is only in Liuzhouwei, and you won't be able to bring many people with you when you go home this time. Besides, even if I can't help you, your father is still here, so when Zhao Laohu heard about it, how could he let your father go?
Anyway, Xu Xufeng's father is not an official of the imperial court, so Zhao Laohu's scruples must not be so much.
"Hehe, let's do it for the little one, and I must let all the people in Changning County know the great achievements of the commander. The servant grinned, bowed his waist, and hurried to get to work on the matter.
After the official left, a trace of coldness appeared on the face of the team leader, "Xu Xufeng, the water in this Changning County is very deep, everyone is not stupid, it is bigger than the fair, I am not your opponent." But when it comes to tricks, you're still a little tender. ”
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the most respected status is naturally those Jinshi masters, followed by those military attachés. Soap officials and officials, that's the lowest level, not even officials.
However, these soap officials and officials are people who really need to do things, and they have been honed in the officialdom for many years, and which one of them is not a human spirit? Don't look at the head of the squad as a military position, that is not something that simple people can do.
