Recently, the security in Bianliang has been much better.

Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division are full of firepower to crack down on the gangsters in the city, causing a large number of gangsters to go underground.

At the same time, the government and the department posted notices one after another, and the notices posted by the Kaifeng government were aimed at those gang members, telling them that they would only punish the evildoers, and that as long as the rest of the people came out to surrender, they would be dealt with lightly.

The notice issued by the Imperial City Division was aimed at the people of Bianliang, reporting that the gangsters were rewarded, concealing them as if they were the party, and dealing with Yunyun Cave and Ghost Fan Tower severely.

At this moment, Jiang Dalang was sitting on the boat, this burly man was bare-chested, with a few bandages, and sat expressionlessly at the stern of the boat with his eyes closed.

The boat was not in the river, but in the underground canal. It was pitch black, with no candles or sources of light, and the only light was a kerosene lamp hanging from the bow of the ship, which flickered in the midst of the ship's fluttering.

The water in the canal was filthy and muddy, and it emitted a foul smell. There were more than a dozen people lying on each ship, these were all above-ground forces belonging to the Ghost Fan Tower, and this time the ground was injured and was forced to move underground.

Jiang Dalang cooperated with Zhao Jun to eliminate a branch of Sanssouci Cave last month, because Sanssouci Cave was completely wiped out, so no one knew what role he played in it, so he was arranged by Zhao Jun to become one of the undercover agents who broke into the underground.

There is far more than one such undercover agent, Jiang Dalang has now joined the Imperial City Division and has become a scattered squad leader, even with his authority, he only knows the three teammates who came down together.

He smelled the unbearable stench and waited silently for the ship to dock.

After about ten minutes, the boat finally swayed to the shore, which was a wide underground cavern with some buildings densely built, and there was even a small pier by the dark river, full of boats.

The buildings near the river beach and the cave were actually some wooden houses or stone houses, Jiang Dalang knew that this was the outer part of the Ghost Fan Tower, and he had been to it a few times before.

Compared with the Fan Lou on the ground, the underground ghost Fan Lou building is far less luxurious, it is an underground street, and the ghost market is derived from the periphery, and there is a two-story building in the innermost, which is the core of the Ghost Fan Tower.

At this time, there were more than twenty or thirty boats parked on the wharf, some of them had just arrived and were picked up by others, some were simply parked, and there were a few wooden houses on the wharf, and everyone was queuing up to register; Even if you come down, you have to pick up an acquaintance inside.

"Da Lang!"

When Jiang Dalang got off the boat with a few brothers, a middle-aged fat man came up to him.

This person is a helmsman under the Ghost Fan Tower, nicknamed Huang Fatman.

Those who go to the rivers and lakes generally don't say their real names, Jiang Dalang also worshiped under the door of this yellow fat man at the beginning, so that he could join the Ghost Fan Building, and use the Ghost Fan Building as a backer to find his son from the Sanssouci Cave.

Seeing that it was Huang Fatzi who came to greet him in person, Jiang Dalang hurriedly said: "Brother, why did you come in person, just let Ergou come." ”

The fat man smiled bitterly: "The second dog was arrested. ”

"Amount"

Jiang Dalang saw that there were only a few people around Huang Fatzi, and immediately understood the reason.

As an underground gangster, although the owner of the building is the leader, there are helmsmen in charge below, who are responsible for the territory of each area of Bianliang.

The landlord rarely shows up on weekdays, and the main major events are headed by the left and right whips, and then below are the rudder owners of each area, as well as the stewards who are responsible for each street and the city.

There are also open and secret battles between the helmsmen above, fighting for territory with each other, grabbing positions, and so on. As long as the landlord pays a fixed amount every year, no matter how hard he fights, he will not interfere, so the helmsmen will recruit troops and grab the territory.

Obviously, Huang Fatzi's power was seriously damaged in this official sweep, and Jiang Dalang was his right-hand man on the periphery, so after learning that Jiang Dalang was also forced to transfer from above, he immediately came over to greet him in person.

"Don't talk about this, Da Lang, you will be my red pole palm stick in the future, follow me first."

The yellow fat man beckoned.

"Okay."

Jiang Dalang nodded, didn't go to register, and went directly to Huang Fatzi's side.

Huang Fatzi's power was damaged, but he was the helmsman, second only to the landlord, and the left and right whips and flags around the landlord, and there were only advantages and no disadvantages in following him.

Soon, under the leadership of Huang Fatzi, Jiang Dalang was not arranged in the periphery like others, but passed through the periphery area and went inside.

There are now a large number of people in the periphery, and many people from the periphery of the Ghost Fan Building have come down, plus the victims who have been controlled by the Ghost Fan Building before, and the people in the original area of the underground are bustling, and there are thousands of people, and the management is very chaotic.

Jiang Dalang and his entourage have seen several brawls occurring in the past. The shantytowns, wooden houses, streets and alleys are full of vicious gangsters, vigilant and greedy watching everyone who enters.

There was a large-scale blockade in the above-earth world, and the Imperial City Division and Kaifeng Mansion had arrested at least a few thousand people during this time, and a large number of gang members were forced to move underground, so that the place was overcrowded.

As soon as there are too many people, it will inevitably be accompanied by violence, mainly because the actions of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division are too fast, so that many people have no time to carry the materials down, and in the case of the shortage of the original materials, in order to compete for resources, they have to fight.

"It's not too chaotic now, if the Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division are still arresting people everywhere for a while, when the stored food is not enough, there will be big problems below."

Huang Fatzi whispered to Jiang Dalang: "The landlord asked the remaining people above to secretly transport supplies below, hoping to last a little longer." ”

"Are we going to the main building now?"

Jiang Dalang asked.

"No, let's go to Ghost Street first."

The fat yellow man led him all the way to the depths.

The ghost street is between the periphery and the main building, flanked by a narrow underground river passage, which is as compact and cramped as a tomb passage.

There are also various passages on the left and right, and some people have dug many caves in the ground, large and small, and some people sleep in them, which are dark and dark, and occasionally you can hear all kinds of strange noises.

After walking two or three miles, the front finally opened up a little. It is unknown who dug a huge cavern in this underground, and the surrounding terrain is connected to form a market.

In addition to the passage from which they came, the market was crisscrossed and extended in all directions, and there were at least a dozen passages to get here, and there was only one straight street in the block, probably less than two hundred meters long, with wooden houses on the left and right, and stalls on the ground.

All kinds of people walk through it, and this is the ghost street, also known as the ghost market, which is a trading area belonging to the ghost fan building. In addition to this, there is also a ghost market on the ground, which is much more prosperous than underground, and most of the goods bought and sold are contraband.

And the most traded underground is people.

After all, Ghost Fan Lou is an underworld organization famous for abducting and selling women and children in history, and human trafficking is naturally their main source of income.

Jiang Dalang saw that there were many cages in the stalls, and the ragged women and children in them were imprisoned, forming a slave market.

I've seen these things many times after joining the Ghost Fan Tower, but I can be regarded as ignoring them.

He silently swore in his heart that if he did this internal work, he would definitely take the brothers of the Imperial City Division to kill them and destroy everything here.

The fat man led more than a dozen of them all the way through the ghost street and into a basement, the air inside was turbid and smelly, and it felt like it could make people's eyes can't open it.

Outside the door, many people gathered, sitting, squatting or standing.

Seeing the fat man Huang coming, someone outside the door said, "Only two people are allowed." ”

The fat man nodded, waved his hand and walked down with Jiang Dalang and another red-pole palm.

It turned out that Jiang Dalang was a yellow pole and belonged to the peripheral thugs, but now that the yellow fat man's forces have suffered heavy losses, he can only be brought to the core.

After all, there is more than one infighting in the Ghost Fan Building, and his power may also be swallowed up by others, so he has to make this decision.

The three of them entered the inner passage, walked more than ten meters, passed through the two outer floors, and arrived at an inner room, which was full of candles and torches, and a smell of kerosene came to the face.

There were already some people sitting inside, all of them with fierce faces, or honest, calm, or indifferent, all middle-aged men about thirty or forty years old.

These are the helmsmen of the Ghost Fan Tower in the various areas of Bianliang, there are a total of eleven people, but now there are only five sitting here.

The rest either didn't arrive or were already captured.

The current situation is not optimistic for Ghost Fan Lou.

The yellow fat man greeted everyone with a smile on his face, and then sat down in his seat.

Jiang Dalang and another person stood behind him, one left and one right.

After a while, three more people came in one after another, and it was not until the last man with a scar on his face walked in quickly, that everyone changed into serious expressions.

"Left Whip."

Everyone stood up to greet them.

That person is one of the spokesmen of the landlord, the left and right whips.

In the Song Dynasty, the yamen officials all used water and fire sticks, and the productivity was insufficient at that time, although iron tools were popular, but because the imperial court controlled salt and iron, it was difficult for ordinary people to get knives.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, even these underground underworld forces did not have many knives, and they all used sticks like yamen.

In the middle of the Song Dynasty, it gradually stabilized, the handicraft manufacturing industry developed, and the number of knives increased. However, the previous titles and habits have been retained, such as whips, sticks, sticks, and so on.

The double-flower red stick of the underworld group in later generations belongs to the derivative of the name of the underworld groups such as Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Building, Hongmen, and Qinggang in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

He sat down on the top chair with his left palm, looked around and said, "How are your branches?" ”

"It's not good, half of our department has been arrested and left."

"We were able to run fast, only a few people were taken, but not many things were brought down."

"I heard that Zhang Laosan and Xie Jiu have been arrested, and our location here will also be exposed, what can we do now, do you want to leave the ghost street?"

"Whip, what did the landlord say? Can you distribute some food first, we didn't have much to bring with us when we ran down. ”

Everyone was talking nonsense, and everyone was gloomy.

Their headquarters were underground, but their respective branches were above, and now that they had been destroyed, their strength had been drastically reduced.

And when I ran down, I was in a hurry, and I didn't bring much food, so I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get up for a long time, and maybe everyone would suffer at that time.

"Don't panic."

The left palm whip said in a deep voice: "The landlord will find a way to send the food down, just wait patiently." ”

Jiang Dalang's heart moved.

The other party said that he would find a way to bring food down.

This indicates that the landlord may still be on it.

"As for here."

The left palm whip knocked on the table and said: "There are still many whistles outside, you don't have to worry, wait for the food to come down after a while, if the government has action, the landlord will notify everyone to disperse." ”

"That's good."

"With the landlord's arrangement, we are relieved."

"It's still the landlord who thinks about it."

Everyone nodded.

Jiang Dalang clasped his hands on his chest and thought expressionlessly.

Today, I was lucky, and when I first came, I encountered the damage to Huang Fatzi's forces, and pulled him into the core thug circle to act as a left and right guard.

I overheard this information again.,After that, I'll find a way to send the news out.,See how the Chiji side responds.。

"Whip, even if we provoke the government so much, will they continue to arrest people?"

One of the helmsmen said.

"Provoking the government?"

The left whip wondered: "What provokes the government?" ”

Don't look at them as powerful in front of the people, but the so-called landlord is not even a grandson in front of those seven or eight officials and judges of Kaifeng Mansion.

Now even the protective umbrella behind the landlord has been caught, and the landlord has long been frightened.

At present, the entire Sanssouci Cave, Ghost Fan Tower and other underground forces are shrinking up, expecting that the wave of crackdowns of Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division will pass quickly, and after the rumors are gone, they will come out to do activities, how can they dare to provoke the government?

The helm said: "I ran down this morning, and last night I heard that we and the people of Sanssouci Cave tore up the official notice, and put up new notices, threatening the people not to reveal our whereabouts to the government, I thought this matter was ordered by the landlord." ”

"What?"

When the whip heard this, he was shocked and said, "Impossible, the landlord didn't arrange for anyone to go at all." ”

"I've heard about this too, and it's making a lot of noise."

The fat man frowned and said: "It's a few new brothers from above, I heard that Fan Zhongyan of Kaifeng Mansion and Si Zhisi of the Imperial City were furious, and said that they would continue to clean up the manpower on the ground on a large scale in a few days, and they would also execute the captured brothers in public in the eastern suburbs, what should I do?" ”

When the whip learned of this, he immediately got up from his chair and said, "How could this happen, no, I have to go and tell the landlord." ”

With that, he walked straight out.

In the same place, many ghost fan buildings were left at the helm, and they looked at each other one by one.

If it wasn't the landlord who did this, who did it?

Although it's a little watery, but there's no way, this time it's two events at the same time to foreshadow, so it looks a little watery, but everyone believes in the protagonist, and the speed of solving it is also very fast, and it won't be delayed for too long.
