Chapter 24: Clearing the Fog

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Ding Ning seemed to be a little distracted, Wang Taixu said calmly: "Is it a little suspicious of what I said?"

"Nothing. Ding Ning shook his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Does the business in the fish market have anything to do with your two-story building or Jinlin Tang?"

Wang Taixu was slightly stunned, he didn't understand why Ding Ning suddenly mentioned the fish market, but he still replied seriously: "No, that's the real upper-class business, and lower-class people like us can't do that kind of big river business." ”

Ding Ning glanced at Wang Taixu with disdain, and said, "The legendary person who accounts for most of the casino and flower house business is still a lower-class person?"

Wang Taixu shook his head, "Where is there such an exaggeration, at most it accounts for a few percent of the business, and the upper and lower levels we are talking about are only related to the business objects, the objects of our business are ordinary market people and Jianghu characters, and the business of the fish market involves the big sects, temple figures, and big rebels, that level of characters, we are entangled with a dangerous one, and only the real wisdom and courage and ability can do that kind of big river, and there is a business that crosses the river at any time." This has to do with the choice and background, and it has nothing to do with whether you have money in your hand or not, or whether you have a few powerful cultivators. ”

"Dragons have dragon paths, snakes have snake paths. Jiaolong is born with Jiaolong, even if the snake turns into a dragon, it has not accumulated so much before, and it is not mixed in the pool of Jiaolong, this is the so-called heritage, so in Changling, the general aristocratic children and ordinary market children can not play together. Ding Ning groaned: "Listen to what you mean, those who can be qualified to do that kind of business are at least the kind of people with a high enough background." ”

Wang Taixu said patiently: "Those who can connect with the big sects and temple figures are naturally not ordinary people, and all the other gangs in Changling dare not interfere in the business in the fish market, nor dare they dare to inquire more." The rules of the fish market are set by 'Miss Shang', I only know that it is a woman, I only know that it must be extraordinary, what is the specific background, how did it get to this point, but I don't know anything. ”

"Jinlin Tang has nothing to do with the fish market, so it's good. Ding Ning said calmly.

"Looks like you might be able to help me. Wang Taixu will be wrong, he thinks that Ding Ning has taken into account the factors that may be related to the fish market, his eyes ignited some strange flames, and he said in a deep voice: "Jinlin Tang's main business is actually some horse gangs and dart business, in addition, there are also some Cao Yun business related to the military, it stands to reason that whether it is about financial resources or foundation, they can't be compared with our two-story building, and maybe you don't understand... Although there are no laws and regulations on business on the rivers and lakes, there are many rules and conventions. Many of their actions this time were done without regard for the rules. We have been in Changling for so many years, and we get along fairly well with other gangs, so after checking and thinking, we thought that there were only two possibilities. ”

Ding Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling that Wang Taixu could continue.

"One of them may have suddenly come across the river, and there was suddenly an extremely powerful cultivator in Jinlin Tangli. This kind of example is not uncommon, in the past, the battle of the feng shui wharf in the north of the city was because there were a few more people in the countryside in Feiyutang, and there happened to be a person surnamed Feng in those rural villagers, who was a very strong cultivator, but he had not yet had time to become famous in a small place. As a result, the apricot grove that competed with the Flying Fish Hall was killed and chilled. ”

Wang Taixu coughed lightly a few times, and waited until his breathing was completely adjusted before he said, "Since there is such an example first, I thought of a way to deliberately give them a chance to assassinate me. ”

"That's why you've become like this. Ding Ning smiled slightly and said, "This is indeed a good way... The battle between gangs is not the same as the battle between cultivators, and there are many ways to kill some individual powerful cultivators. For example, crossbow machine arrow arrays, such as poison traps, such as the assassination of old and weak women and children. Now you are just imaginary, but you are still alive, so what answer do you get from this temptation?"

"Except for a few cultivators who we were already prepared for, there was no such thing as the dragon-like figure I was worried about. Wang Taixu's brows furrowed deeply again, "So we think there is only one other possibility left, I'm afraid that there are some people in the temple who have taken a fancy to our business." ”

"This is very likely, after all, according to what you said, Jinlin Tang's business itself is related to Caoyun. Ding Ning frowned slightly, "In this case, it's not so bad that you can fight for it." ”

"I'd like to hear your insights. Wang Taixu was not surprised, he looked at Ding Ning calmly and said.

"In the entire Changling, there are only people who don't need to consider His Majesty's thoughts about the emperor, only Li Xiang and Yan Xiang. But they shouldn't have time to grab such a piece of meat, and according to the stories about the two of them... If they do, either suddenly you've all been killed, or they'll send someone to do it slowly. Ding Ning raised his head and looked at him, and said seriously: "As for the other magnates, they must take into account the thoughts of these two prime ministers and His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, in the final analysis, the cultivators in the court are the property of His Majesty, and it has always been taboo to use the forces and cultivators in the court to seek their own benefits. In particular, the people in the market are also the people of the Great Qin Dynasty, and they use the forces of the court and the cultivators who belong to His Majesty's private property to rush and kill, and if one of them is lost, it is very likely that these powerful people will not be able to bear such a crime. Therefore, if there are only some nobles in the court who have taken a fancy to this piece of meat, it is not a particularly bad thing, you can still fight for it. They have limited power to turn around, and they are also constrained in their work. ”

"I was not mistaken. Wang Taixu's eyes became brighter and brighter, "What else do you need to know now?"

Ding Ning asked: "I want to know what price you made Jin Lin Tang pay for that temptation that made you make you like this, and what actions Jin Lin Tang has now, what makes you feel incomprehensible?"

"They left a total of fifty-three corpses, among which there were six cultivators, among the three Jin, Lin, and Tang, only Tang Que did not appear, Xu Jin and Lin Qingdie were both killed by us. ”

"It turns out that Jinlin Tang is a three-person name together?"

"Three brothers with different surnames, who came out from a small place in the countryside in the north to fight the rivers and lakes together. There were no cultivators stronger than them in Jinlin Tang, and when I was assassinated, there were no cultivators stronger than them. ”

Ding Ning listened carefully to these things in the bottom rivers and lakes that were usually difficult for him to come into contact with and difficult to understand, and then he asked: "What kind of cultivation are Xu Jin and Lin Qingdie who were killed by you, and what kind of cultivation is Tang Que?"

Wang Taixu said: "Xu Jin is the top grade of the fourth realm, and Lin Qingdie has already reached the bottom grade of the fifth realm. As for Tang Que, it should be the top grade of the fourth realm. ”

"Can you be sure that Tang Que's cultivation is not accidental?" Ding Ning said.

Wang Taixu shook his head with extreme certainty, "It is certain that the reason why he is not here is because he is not in Changling, and he can't catch up for a while, not as you think, he is in the breaking realm or his identity is much higher than the other two." ”

Ding Ning nodded, "How are your losses?"

Wang Taixu glanced at him, "We don't have much to lose. ”

Ding Ning said: "Then what will they do next?"

"Tang Que actually said that Zhang Fatzi from Lei Yutang wanted to negotiate with us. Wang Taixu took a deep breath and said, "This is what I don't understand the most now. Because if it were me, it would either be to escape from Changling with the rest of the people, or to fight back again and ask for some power that we don't know. However, although Lei Yutang is not very right with us, he wants to get a little business from us, but he usually pays attention to the rules. Moreover, the place of negotiation is also in our territory, and we also have strict requirements for those who come, as long as it does not meet our requirements, I will not show up at all. ”

Ding Ning was silent for a few breaths, and then said: "Not to mention the time of day, at least the people of the place and all of you have taken possession." Please ask another weighty gangster to make peace, it looks like you are begging you to raise your noble hands and not kill them all. Do they have any special requirements for those of you who are here?"

Wang Taixu shook his head, "No." ”

Ding Ning laughed, "It doesn't matter if you bring more people?"

Wang Taixu looked at him, "Since it is in our territory, the place for negotiation is naturally arranged by us." ”

"That's the problem. ”

Ding Ning looked at him seriously and said calmly, "I think I know why." ”
