Before nightfall, hundreds of Jianghu characters dressed in coarse cloth clothes came silently outside the Changling Fish Market.

These characters are carrying a variety of blades of different lengths, they don't even hide their faces, they seem to be very arrogant, but after arriving outside the fish market, these characters are very low-key, they have not entered the fish market, but they are scattered and gathered at the various exits of the fish market, sitting on the ground, not asking for trouble, not talking to people, and even not talking to each other.

Of course, the fish market in Changling sells the most fish.

In addition to fresh fish, there is also a large amount of salted fish from Jiaodong County.

Compared with the fresh fish produced in the Wei River, the salted fish in Jiaodong County is not only cheap, but also has a long storage time, and for ordinary people, buying one can be used for a long time.

Even if it is the most common vegetable soup, chop some minced salted fish into it, and you can have more flavor out of thin air.

Of course, these are all businesses on the surface.

Naturally, there are still many shady businesses in the fish market in Changling.

Some horse thieves in remote areas will sell their stolen goods through the fish market, and some things that are not suitable for sale in this dynasty will also go to such miscellaneous markets to find buyers.

Some of the business is very trivial, especially the border trade, for many gate lords in Guanzhong and Changling, they generally do official business.

Through certain elites, they were able to obtain many formal approvals, and they were able to monopolize many of these border trade businesses in their own hands, which were large and could not be grabbed by ordinary merchants.

As for those trivial and laborious businesses, almost all of them are done by some gate valves from other places.

In this fish market, the most people are merchants from Jiaodong County.

The origin of these Jianghu men can actually be guessed by the magnates with a slight status in Changling, they should all be the subordinates of the night owl, since Jiaodong County has challenged the authority of the night owl, then the night owl will naturally make Jiaodong County pay the price.

It's just that from the appearance of these charlatans to the real night, even if the people in the fish market come in and out, walk in front of them, they still don't say anything, don't do anything.

This ability to restrain his subordinates, especially these outlaws, was admired even by the generals of the military.

Dozens of elite city guards, dressed in dark soft armor, stood silently outside a pavilion not far from the fish market.

There were two men sitting in this pavilion, one was a middle-aged general with cold eyebrows, and the other was wearing a green shirt and looking like a scholar.

This middle-aged general with cold eyebrows and eyes is Zhou Xun, a general who retired from the border army of Yangshan County in the early years.

Dressed in civilian clothes is Gan Long, an official of the Terracotta Division, who is also a military attaché, but on weekdays, even if the rest of the divisions have mobilized the city guards or garrisons outside the Changling, whether it is to assist in the arrest or security guards, officials like him should not be present.

But today is different, the night owl is the leader of the gang in Changling, and Jiaodong County is probably the most powerful gate valve in other counties besides the Changling gate valve.

The night owl and Jiaodong County are fighting, and today's casualties may exceed the casualties of any gang fight in the history of Changling.

The rotten lives of these Jianghu characters and minions are naturally not important to them, but too many people have died, which will naturally have a great impact, and if they can't be controlled, they will hurt more innocents, and it will be difficult to explain.

Just watching the actions of the night owl's subordinates who arrived first, whether it was Zhou Xun or Gan Long, their mood was a lot more relaxed.

"A night owl is a night owl, and if you know how to do things in a measured way, and if you don't make people embarrassed, everyone will be happy. ”

Looking at those characters who didn't do anything and seemed to be just sitting there, Gan Long even praised it from the bottom of his heart.

For Jiaodong County, he naturally doesn't like it.

Even for Changling, the night owl is also a foreigner, but behind the night owl is the Nangong family.

Although the Nangong family's actions are ruthless, many of the rules in Changling are actually set by the Nangong family and the rest, and they naturally will not break them or follow the rules.

But these people in Jiaodong County are different.

For the vast majority of officials in Changling who represent the interests of the gate valve, these people are like pervasive rats, even if they fall to the ground themselves, knowing that they are useful but are too lazy to pick up the meat, these rats will quickly pick it up, in addition, they can even scavenge a large amount of oil and water from the dark corners where they can't see the oil and water.

In his heart, he hoped that the night owl could teach these people in Jiaodong County enough lessons tonight.

When night really falls, more charlatans arrive.

The hundreds of characters in the rivers and lakes before were just the subordinates of the night owls who used them to fight the outpost.

At least 2,000 of these men appeared in the short time between sunset and nightfall, gathering at the main exits of the fish market.

Following these Jianghu men, there were many city guards wearing Xuan armor.

There were at least a few thousand of them, but they weren't too close to the fish market.

Unless it's the ignorant officials who are stupid enough to try to stop the fight before the fight begins, any experienced official will only end up cleaning up the mess.

"What about the people from Jiaodong County, and the people who don't even show up in the gods?"

Such a scene is not uncommon for Gan Long and Zhou Xun, but the situation tonight is a little special, looking at the fish market that is still silent and calm, but no one enters or leaves again, Gan Long frowned deeply.

There are many industries in Jiaodong County here, even if you couldn't guess that the night owl was going to do something here, but since the previous group of subordinates of the night owl had already appeared, how could Jiaodong County not mobilize people to come over until now.

Could it be that Jiaodong County has already prepared and hid all the people inside?

There is also this kind of battle between gangs and cultivators tonight, which is within the scope of the Shendu supervision, and they are only assisting the Shendu Prison tonight, but seeing that the fire fight is about to start, the Shendu Prison is not present, which is too unreasonable.

"Go and tell the people of the Shendu Prison, if they don't come again, we will just leave, what's the matter, what's going on here, do you want our city guards to help the Shendu Prison carry it?"

Zhou Xun sneered and instructed a sergeant outside the pavilion.

The sergeant rolled over his horse, his hooves fled, and he quickly disappeared into the night.

"What! Why didn't the kid surnamed Chen go. ”

Several officials of the Shendu Prison were drinking in a restaurant not far from the fish market, and there were still all kinds of fish and shrimp on the wine table.

Hearing his angry shouting, someone outside the restaurant soon reported: "My lord, it is very unfortunate that he encountered a suspicious cultivator on the way forward, but when he went up for interrogation, he was attacked by a sneak attack, and he was hit by a sword in the abdomen, and he was just sent to the medical hall..."

Liang Qinggong opened his mouth and paused for a moment before he scolded fiercely, "What luck is this kid!"

"Let's go!"

He slapped the table with an extremely ugly face and hurried out.

If the city guards really withdrew, then he would have decided the pot by himself today.
