Chapter 2 Current Affairs

Jinmen Port Business District, night.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the streets were empty, and there was no rush of people during the day, only the flickering and dim light of the street lamps that stood tall flickered on and off.

From afar, one tall and one short, walked up, both dressed in black patrol suits, with brown and yellow cowhide belts, black round hats with sharp brims, long flintlock pistols on their backs, and Pu knives around their waists.

The tall and thin patrol walked steadily, scanning the surroundings with a vigilant gaze from time to time, with a serious expression.

The short and fat patrolman glanced at his colleague helplessly, and couldn't help but speak:

"Xiao Wang, this is a commercial area, there is no need to be so nervous, there will be no hooligans who dare to go wild here."

"Uncle Zhang, last night there was a clothing store in the dock area that was smashed and robbed by gangsters, the boss was killed on the spot, and the body is still in the morgue."

The tall and thin patrol retracted his gaze, looked at the senior, and said seriously.

The street lamp shone a dim glow, and I could vaguely see that the patrol looked about twenty years old, with some stubble on his chin, a square appearance, and a pair of dark and bright eyes.

Humpty Dumpty looked at his nephew's serious expression, stopped, and asked:

"Wang Ping, do you know why that store was smashed? Why did the boss die? ”

"Of course it's the gangsters doing it for money."

The young patrol also stopped.

"No, no, no. You don't know one thing but you don't know the other, and strictly speaking, it was actually our own people. ”

"What?"

The young patrolman couldn't help but shout.

"Calm down!"

The middle-aged patrol made a mute gesture to him, and then continued:

"Don't believe it, don't interrupt, you'll understand when I'm done."

The young patrolman nodded hurriedly.

He stretched out his fist and stretched out his index finger:

"Our Dachong Dynasty, although there was trade with overseas at the beginning of the founding of the country, but at that time it was actually a small fight among the people, that is, in 65 years, the government received news from the private maritime merchants, and only then did it set up a maritime supervision department, and a special port, and our Dachong and overseas trade can be regarded as bigger."

"Now in this Jinmen Port, there are nobles and merchants from the countries of the Western Continent, this is the Great Chong Dynasty, and they must also abide by the laws of our Great Chong. But who can trade across the sea these days, who doesn't have a strong ship and a cannon at hand? ”

The middle-aged patrolman named Zhang Yuanqing looked at his nephew's ignorant expression, shook his head, and stretched out his middle finger, ring finger and little finger to continue to speak:

"Then, it is not only the merchants and nobles who come to do business in the Western Continent, but also the churches there, which are the Dawn Church, the God of War Church, and the Earth Church that we are familiar with."

The middle-aged man paused and continued to explain:

"Although I strictly forbid them to preach, and the Jinmen Division also strictly guarded them, they were operating in this Jinmen port in the name of doing business, and secretly, there were always foolish people who approached them."

"Do you just let them go?"

Wang Ping couldn't help but speak.

"Of course you can't let it go."

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yuanqing's mouth:

"In the 70th year of Dachong, when the large-scale overseas trade of Jinmen Port had just begun for five years, many of the rules and regulations of the government at that time were not perfect, so that the Church of the Three Gods accepted a lot of believers in the name of trade. At that time, the director of the Jinmen Division, Cheng Fa Rong, issued the "Expulsion Order", and you were only ten years old at that time, but what happened later, you should also have an impression. ”

Wang Ping nodded, and also showed an expression of honor:

"Da Chong has cleaned up those churches fiercely, after all, this land is Zhuxia and Da Chong Dynasty. How did those outsiders fight us? ”

"That's right, but you don't know one thing."

The middle-aged patrol nodded.

"It's true that those outsiders can't fight us, but there was some chaos at the beginning. At first, it was just an ordinary fight, whether it was our Da Chong or the other party, they were more restrained. ”

The middle-aged patrolman's tone was low, and his eyes were empty, as if he had returned to the scene he had been:

"Naturally, there is no need to mention those small fights, but the troubles are a little angry on both sides, and Da Chong keenly discovered this, so he sent the warlock master of the Patrol Division to negotiate with the wizards of those churches."

Of course, it was a negotiation, but it was also a hand-to-hand meeting, and many brothers were present at the time. Hey, the Warlock's spells are really powerful, so who is the Church Wizard's opponent of the Warlock of the Patrol Division? Eventually, the church succumbed and the matter was over. ”

"The Church of the Three Gods was defeated, and it stopped on the surface, and it has been fifteen years since the Church of the Three Gods began to trade honestly like those noble merchants. But on the surface, this is the case, but secretly, in fact, they are still a little small. ”

"This clothing store in the dock area has something to do with this?"

The young patrol officer was thoughtful, and he faintly understood the cause and effect in his heart, and then asked.

"Yes, that's right. On the surface, people come overseas to do business, and they also abide by the laws of our Dachong, but this Jinmen Port is so big, there will always be some people who secretly take the initiative to connect with overseas people. ”

Zhang Yuanqing saw that this young man had some understanding, nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Just the Qingzhu Gang you know, the gangsters of the Black Hand Society, in fact, we all know that they have something to do with overseas. It's just that this kind of gangster ruffian can't be disposed of, and it won't be long before another batch will pop up. ”

Wang Ping frowned, and if he realized, he said slowly:

In other words, the owner of the clothing store is actually secretly hooking up with overseas people? That's why Uncle Zhang, you said that it was actually our own people who did it? But just because of that, give that boss ......"

As he spoke, the young patrolman lowered his face, frowned, and his voice gradually deepened.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the young patrolman with an expression of disbelief, shook his head, pressed it on his shoulder, and shook it twice.

"Don't be stunned! Don't think it's incredible! In fact, this is normal, there are always such people in secret, they are actually potential thieves who do not obey the government's education, and secretly collude with those blonde and blue-eyed aliens or new Han rebels. These dangerous elements must be eliminated. ”

"A traitor to the new Han? Aren't the people of the New Han Dynasty also our Zhuxia people? ”

Wang Ping only felt that the concept formed in his past life had been broken again and again tonight.

"Yes, the Great Chong and the New Han are both Zhuxia people, which is true, but the Great Chong was established by the wolf barbarian clan, and the New Han was established by the Xia clan, and the two are feuding in history."

The middle-aged patrolman sneered and said, without waiting for the young patrolman to speak, he asked and answered:

"We Zhuxia people are all black-haired and black-eyed, but it doesn't mean that we are all of the same race. Since ancient times, the Xia wolf has rotated, this time it is the Xia people who built the dynasty, and the next time it is the wolf barbarian people who built the dynasty. ”

"But no matter which clan built the dynasty, in the history of Zhuxia, every time the dynasty was changed, there were warlock sects and warlock clans came out to make wind and rain, more than two hundred years ago, the David Dynasty built by the Xia clan before the Great Chong Dynasty learned the lessons of the demise of the previous dynasties, and with the trend of sweeping the world, the warlock sect clan was ordered to hand in the magic inheritance and return to the imperial court."

He paused, then changed his tone:

"I didn't expect that the warlock sect of the Xia clan was not subject to indoctrination, and even took advantage of the fact that the control of the official government was not strict at the beginning of the world, and quickly connected them, leaving a small number of people and the people of the official government on the surface, but in fact, the vast majority of the people of the sect and clan had already secretly crossed Chen Cang to the sea to avoid it."

"Those Xia clan clans fled to the East China Sea Islands, and they even founded a country, this is the origin of the new Han Dynasty! If that's all there is to it, that's fine. When David destroyed the great Chongxin of the wolf barbarians, there were still people who crossed overseas to defect to the new Han Dynasty, you say hateful? ”

Zhang Yuanqing stared at the eyes of the young patrolman:

"So you see, aren't the Xia clan warlock sects who don't obey the king's law all traitors? Isn't this new man a traitor? Of course, it is impossible to say this explicitly. But if you want to be promoted, if you want to climb up in this Tsumonji, you have to know this! Your father asked you to patrol the night with me, and he also wanted me to talk to you well. ”

Seeing Wang Ping's face suddenly realized, he nodded with satisfaction:

"Back to the topic of clothing stores, there are always people who want to hook up with overseas people, and of course the government has to take care of it! But this can't be done by patrolling, so many years ago, Tsumonji supported a red scarf gang in the city as a black glove to do the dirty work that we can't do ourselves. ”

"The owner of the clothing shop, according to the tip, had some private dealings with the Abilees, but he had not yet determined it, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he sent someone to kill the man directly. Of course, nominally a gang burglary, and we are also patrolling and arresting the case, and we will start "pursuing" it in the near future, and then find a few more scapegoats, and the matter will be over. ”

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, I understand!"

At this time, Wang Ping was like an enlightenment, and he suddenly realized that he was full of gratitude and looked at the middle-aged patrol.

"Let's go, let's continue patrolling the streets."

"Yes! Uncle Zhang. ”

The young man's words were full of respect, and the two continued on.

Zhang Yuanqing squinted at his boss's son, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself silently:

"Great nephew, you are as stupid as your sloppy old man. Who wants to be a thief in this world? ”

"It's not that I can't live anymore. The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel. The wolf barbarian clan has a lot of discrimination and suppression against our Xia clan. Hey, after all, it's not the wolf barbarians' own creation. ”

The dim light shone on the face of the middle-aged patrolman, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared.

————

Soon after the two left, in a shadow on the corner of the street, where the light could not shine, a man silently came out, this person had many patches on his clothes, the color was mainly dark, and from a distance it looked almost black, wrapped in a black cloth around his head, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes and nose.

"It's not just the people's hearts that are moving, even if it's patrolling, there are also dissatisfied."

A sarcastic smile appeared at the corners of Thorn's mouth, which was hidden by the hood.

When he was still a trader named Gu Chen, what he was best at was speculating on the psychology of the institutions behind the scenes from the subtle trends of finance. Over time, the observation of words and colors in reality will also be.

The older patrolman seemed to be teaching the juniors, and his tone was also very heavy.

But he just smiled one last time, and it was clear that this person was actually harboring evil intentions.

Regarding the attitude of the new Han Dynasty, the Dachong official mansion has always been secretive and belongs to the unspoken rules; And the matter of black gloves is even more of a government secret!

Needless to say, people from the people, even if they are people within the government, if they are not at a certain level, they are afraid that there is only a dead end if they know this kind of thing. How did this old patrolman know about this?

The old patrolman revealed this...... What exactly do you want to do?

Thorn smiled meaningfully.

"In the 80th year of the Great Chong Dynasty, the revival of the second layer of the spiritual sea means the official arrival of the spiritual energy tide. In order to prevent some people with potential from cultivating themselves into warlocks and affecting the stability of Dachong's national system, it must be stifled as soon as possible! Especially these organizations and even individuals who have private ties with overseas forces! In a word: it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go! ”

"It's not that I don't understand that if I were a ruler, I would do the same. But now, I'm just a little person who has been affected by mistakes. I don't want to die, I want to live. ”

"In that case, we can only strike first."

"Wolf barbarian...... Red Turban Gang ...... Hehe. ”

The thorn's body moved, blending into the shadows.
