Chapter 151: Law Enforcement in the Rivers and Lakes
After the palm force was issued, as the water splashed in all directions, several large swordfish immediately fell into the hall. Seeing this, although Duan Zhengji was not afraid of his mastery, he saw that this person was so good at light skills, but he also had to feel ashamed. After seeing that Qiu Qianren had drifted away from the shore, Duan Zhengji, who was worried about his mistakes, hurriedly shouted, "Qiu Qianren's light skills are the best in the world, and this time he is willing to bow down!" Hearing this, Qiu Qianren used his method to turn around and jump back into the building. Talking about the results of the competition, although Duan Zhengji admitted defeat on the spot this time, it is also an indisputable fact that everyone was defeated by him! Therefore, after Duan Zhengji humbled himself, everyone who learned that he was not here to fight for fame should even ask Duan Zhengji to show his true purpose. Seeing the situation of the people, Duan Zhengji immediately ordered someone to get a pen and paper, and after everyone had clearly divided the sphere of influence and named it, he immediately left Jiangling Mansion and continued to Xiangyang Mansion.
Xiangyang Prefecture, Chong, Fan, Difficult, Xiangyun Jingdao, under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang, Gucheng, Guanghua, Huiyang, Junzhou, Nanzhang, Zhicheng, Yicheng and other two prefectures and seven counties. It is 680 miles away from the province in the southeast, 670 miles in width, and 270 miles in the southeast; Hutou in the southwest, Yanshan in the south, and Zhongshan in Xilong. The Han River comes from the valley city, the north of the city, enters the Yicheng, there is an embankment around the city, it is called the Xiangyang city embankment, the opposite bank is Fancheng, and the important town is also. The northeast is watery, from the Tang River in Henan, and the turbid water, so it is called the Tang River. At that time, the bulk goods of the Great Song Dynasty had to rely on waterway transportation, because the waterways extended in all directions, and the wharves were dotted all over the place; the ground power situation of Xiangyang Prefecture, known as the 'thoroughfare of Kyushu', was naturally far from being comparable to that of Jiangling Prefecture, and there were nearly 200 people in the Jianghu sect alone!
It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and although the cool autumn breeze had already swept away the scorching heat, in the largest Sihai Inn in Xiangyang Prefecture, many characters in different costumes still looked extremely irritable and unbearable! Some people had their chests open, and some people took off their shirts and simply went naked. 'What a evil!' someone even scolded directly. All of them are talking and cursing the same strange thing.
Listening to its contents, this is also related to a martial arts competition held in the city of Xiangyang recently: At that time, everything was as usual in the first few rounds of the competition, but in yesterday's round of competition, a strange thing happened that surprised everyone! According to the convention of the conference, when entering this stage, the organizers often set up bets to set up bets on the winners or losers of the challenger to set off the atmosphere of the venue. Eating, drinking, and gambling for money is the common pleasure of people in the rivers and lakes, and the purpose of those who have no intention of going on stage at all to participate in the First World War is precisely this!
The content of this round is very simple: the challenger only needs to defeat the master invited by the organizer to win the final battle of the final round. It has been confirmed that there are two people who are qualified for this round of challenges; one is Xu Zongheng, the chief disciple of the Hengshan Sword Sect, who is known as the 'Sword Double', while the other is a country man named Sun Wu who is from the rivers and lakes! The disparity in strength is obvious. Although he knew that this situation was the easiest to cheat, he thought that this conference was jointly sponsored by the local Giant Whale Gang, Qinglongtang, Cao Gang, and Baihemen, not to mention that Baihemen and the Giant Whale Gang are both well-known righteous sects in the rivers and lakes, and they are both Cao Gangs that control hundreds of wharves on the ground in Xiangyang Mansion; although their assets dare not be said to be rich and rival the country, they can definitely be called the Jianghu sect on the rich side.
"There will be no fraud!" said the self-confessed experienced Jianghu heroes. Therefore, as soon as the deacon of the conference announced that Xu Zongheng's odds were one to one, and Sun Wu's odds were one to ten, those who had the intention to make a lot of money should even make a lot of money, and some people even borrowed money on the spot; But as soon as the results of this round of challenges came out, those who were waiting for a large amount of money were immediately dumbfounded!
Xu Zongheng was defeated on the spot by the master of the main ring before he made 20 moves, but the country man named Sun Wu only used less than 10 moves to knock the master of the main ring out of the ring! A rough calculation afterwards: At that time, there were hundreds of people who bet on Xu Zongheng, and it seems that in this kind of stable winning situation, how can the people who sacrifice their lives to fight for their old money bet more than hundreds? Yes, after a round of challenges, all the bettors who have been borrowed from all the bettors have lost hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver on the spot! Therefore, how can this not make the high-rollers in the gutter who capsized beat their chests and feet, shouting evil?
But after thinking that the only way to test whether this game was cheating was to see if Sun Wu had real talent and real learning, the Jianghu group quickly stopped cursing, and asked for wine and food, just waiting to see the decisive battle between Sun Wu and the heads of the various factions in charge tomorrow. Early in the morning, the Xiangyang Conference venue located in the Chengnan Church of Xiangyang Prefecture was crowded with people who came to watch the game. Although the conference has come to an end, the number of spectators has increased instead of decreasing, and the bustle and noise are unprecedented!
After a short time, after the hour, as soon as Sun Wu, who was tidy up, came to power, the group of heroes in the audience immediately began to boil, and they all waited to see the final showdown between him and several leaders. But before the heads of the four factions could stand on the stage, one of them had already flown out and knocked that Sun Wu to the ground with just a snap of his fingers. "Who is coming? Don't you hurry up and report your name!" Huang Jing, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, one of the organizers of the conference, hurriedly shouted.
'After winning this person, can I directly challenge a few masters?' the person who came glanced at Huang Jing and asked rhetorically. Hearing this, 'The height of this person's skill is simply incredible, if he is easily defeated, it will really fall in front of the Heavenly Hero!' Huang Jing said secretly. 'I've won this man, can I already fight with a few masters?' the person asked again. Seeing that this person seemed to be disdainful, Huang Jing originally wanted to be annoyed, but after thinking of his skills, he couldn't help but stand still and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, it was still Liu Chengjiang, the leader of the Cao Gang, who was a businessman, who had a lively brain, and saw that after a pair of rat eyes on his face as straight as a basin, he turned around, and when he approached, he advised: Although our conference is extremely rich, we must always have a life to take it! Yes, please also move the car and sit less, and wait until the conference rules are perfected, and then challenge us before it is too late!
As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to telling the other party: If we do not follow the arrangements of the conference and hand each other, the heads of the sect will no longer show mercy to their subordinates, and they will be killed as soon as possible! But after hearing this, the man only smiled slightly and said aloud: "Where am I rare you Lao Shizi Caitou? If I win the battle against you, I only need a few people to mobilize the sect here to have a document for me on the spot!"
After he came to the city of Xiangyang Mansion that day, as soon as the beggar helped the local deacon report that there were nearly 200 large and small Jianghu sects here, Duan Zhengji felt his scalp tingle at that time, "If I fight with these many sects one by one, how long will I have to fight?" Seeing that the task of this trip was about to be completed, Duan Zhengji, who couldn't help but be a little anxious, came to the venue at the right time after hearing that several leading sects on the ground of Xiangyang Mansion were holding a martial arts conference in the south of the city.
At this moment, when I heard that the person who came only had a clerical and no color head, several heads on the stage immediately remembered an incident that had gone viral in the rivers and lakes recently. Then he hurriedly came to Duan Zhengji and bowed together, and said, "Isn't it the law enforcement Duan hero who has been rumored in the market recently?"
"I don't dare to enforce the law in the rivers and lakes, but some ways still need to be clearly divided!" Duan Zhengji replied with a smile in his heart. Ah, it really is the person in front of them! Liu Chengjiang, Huang Jing, and the others couldn't help but stand on the spot after being shocked in their hearts. Seeing this, the group of heroes in the audience didn't do it! It was expected that the gambling game was deceitful and deliberately embarrassed, and the crowd of people began to take the lead in making noise.
Seeing the surging emotions of the crowd, Huang Jing, Liu Chengjiang and others, who had already been difficult to ride the tiger, had to shout in unison, 'Since you are aggressive!, I can't say it, I can only sacrifice my life to learn the trick!' Thinking of Hong Qi and the others' advice, after dodging to avoid the incoming situation, he fought with the other party for more than 50 moves, and Duan Zhengji used his mastery to hit a few people's acupoints one by one.
In this way, although several people were defeated on the spot, they were not embarrassed; as for whether they cheated or not, there was no way to know! Therefore, Huang Jing and the others were slightly stunned, and when they all stepped forward and said, "What are the instructions for law enforcement?"
Seeing that a few people were respectful, Duan Zhengji secretly laughed, and then even led them aside to explain like this. Three days later, after Huang Jing and others had collected all the names of the large and small sects on the ground in Xiangyang Mansion, Duan Zhengji immediately said goodbye to everyone and continued to rush to Dengzhou.
The ground in Dengzhou is not very large, and there are not many sects, so it only took a few days for Duan Zhengji to divide all the local forces, and all of them have their names. As soon as the affairs of Dengzhou were over, Duan Zhengji rushed to Caizhou Mansion without stopping. This place is where the Dayong rudder of the four major rudders of the beggar gang is located, and the rumors of the word "hundred" are in the rivers and lakes; therefore, on the day when the war letter was issued, before the date of the war, the local leaders had already prepared their respective names and took the initiative to send them over.
Although the trip to Caizhou Mansion was unusually smooth, Duan Zhengji still did not dare to be careless, and after only thinking about it for two days, he hurried to Xuzhou again. Seeing that the task of this trip was about to be completed, he came to the entrance of the beggar gang, and after listening to the local deacon Wang Shuangxi introduce the heads of the various factions and their respective forces in Xuzhou, Duan Zhengji did not rush to give him a war letter, but gossiped with Wang Shuangxi.
During the conversation, we learned that a major incident had recently occurred on the ground in Xuzhou! This matter also began with Chen Shi, a well-known local figure: This Chen Shi had studied under Shaolin and Wudang in his early years, and he was very good at fist and sword kung fu! In addition, his own personality was jealous and hateful, and he was often chivalrous and righteous, and he was accustomed to fighting grievances; therefore, he won the respect of his friends in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and was named the "hero of the Central Plains"!
