Chapter 442
Because there is still such a magical realism as rivers and lakes in modern society, Xie Qin sighed for a while (it was a bit late to sigh at this time), and then asked Tang Jiaju: "So, the metropolis is divided by multiple gangs?"
"You're right," Tang Jiaju nodded, "The metropolis is like this, let's say Xiandu, the Nine Poison Hall's sphere of influence in Xiandu...... At most, there is only one urban area, and in other places, some urban areas are divided by the Elders' Association, and some are controlled by other large and small gangs, and even three or four gangs in an urban area confront each other. β
"That Nine Poisons Hall only controls that little place?" Xie Qin asked.
"No," Tang Jiaju shook his head, "Although the headquarters of the Nine Poisons Hall is in Xiandu, it is also very powerful in other places, Ah Zhong should have told you about the expansion of the Nine Poisons Hall, his expansion is outside of Xiandu, such as small cities, villages and the like, the less sensitive places of the Wuyi Society, the Nine Poisons Hall is a gang that annexed those places, however, I feel that it should still attract the attention of the Wuyi Society...... Well, I hope Jiaqiu can still stop in time. β
"Does the Nine Poison Hall Master really plan to thwart the elder brother to dominate the Sichuan Land?" Xie Qin asked.
Tang Jiaju glanced at Xie Qin and asked rhetorically, "When we confronted you yesterday, he didn't tell you?"
"He didn't say anything about his ambitions," said Sechin, "he just said that he had no plans to go to war with the Elders right now." β
Tang Jiaju listened, nodded and said, "It's the same as I thought." β
"Does he have any plans to dominate the Kawachi?" asked Sechin.
"According to this trend, there is. Tang Jiaju replied.
"According to the development trend......" Xie Qin was a little confused, "Hall Master, when you called just now, I thought you had a good relationship, didn't he tell you?"
Tang Jiaju said: "Harmony is harmony, that's just a politeness on the surface, the four halls have been separated for a long time, because there was a previous experience of competing for the hall master - although it was a long time ago, but the fear at that time still remained, even if it gradually faded with the passage of time, it did not disappear, and it became a barrier between the four halls." My hall and Xuanzhu Hall have always been good friends, and they have not reached the point where they are like brothers......"
He didn't say the next words, but Xie Qin already knew what he wanted to say, and now there was such a file, although Tang Shuyan was forced, it was a fact that he was directly involved in the killing of many of Zimingtang's guards, even if Ruoruo was successfully rescued, Zimingtang and Xuanzhuan Hall would not be able to return to the harmonious relationship they had before.
Even if Tang Jiaju doesn't take it to heart...... It's also impossible, Xie Qin secretly thought in his heart, if he doesn't pursue it, the guards of Zimingtang will also remember, those guards who died have relatives and friends, they will all remember this matter, and Tang Jiaju, how can he not take it to heart! What he can do is not to pursue it!
...... Now that I think about it, Tang Shuyan helped everyone save Ruoruo, and then everyone helped him save Tang Jiaji, this whole thing is not so much a cooperation as a transaction.
Really, from the moment Tang Shuyan was involved in the conspiracy because his father was kidnapped by Chihuotang, Ziming and Xuanzhu were destined to go to strangers.
...... What a disaster.
Over there, Tang Jiaqi was silent for a while, and then added: "To be honest, now the four halls of the Tang Sect and the castle maintain a superficially harmonious and polite relationship with each other. Therefore, Jia Qi's plan for the future of the Nine Poison Hall will not tell us any of the several hall masters. Even if it was his father, the current head of the door, he probably wouldn't say it...... Oh, and possibly, they both know it. β
Xie Qin thought to himself, maybe it was referring to defeating the Elder Brothers and dominating the Sichuan Land.
Tang Jiaju said: "If it goes on like this, there will be a battle between the Nine Poison Hall and the Elders' Association, even if the Elders' Association can still suppress their subordinates now, but those people below are already clamoring for war, this suppression will not last too long, sooner or later, one day, the Elders' Association will not be able to suppress it, or in other words, if there is a change of office and the main battle faction occupies the mainstream, a war is inevitable." It is foreseeable that this will be a fire of unprecedented scale in Sichuan in decades. And in this fire, there will be no winner. β
"Because the Wuyi society intervened. Xie Qin said leisurely.
Tang Jiaju glanced at Xie Qin in surprise.
Xie Qin smiled: "I heard Brother Zhong say this before. β
Tang Jiaju said: "Yes, nine times out of ten, the Wuyi Society will suddenly attack when the Nine Poison Hall and the elder brother will be defeated and defeated, kill both sides, and eradicate the root cause of the turmoil in Sichuan in one fell swoop." β
"Roots?"
Tang Jiaju said: "Yes, to tell the truth, over the years, the root cause of the turmoil in Sichuan has been Jia Qi and his Nine Poison Hall. β
"That's ...... you Big truth. That's all Sechin can say.
Tang Jiaju said: "Facts are facts, originally all the gangs became honest under the suppression of the Wuyi Society, but only the family was annexed everywhere with the Nine Poison Hall, which is of course the source of turmoil." β
"It does ......"
An idea popped into Xie Qin's mind now, Tang Jiaqi was messing around like a-stirring stick.
"Is it really that important to dominate the river, or ......?" he muttered to himself.
Tang Jiaju said: "You can monopolize more resources." β
"Resource ......," Xie Qin muttered.
Tang Jiaju said: "Xie Qin, you should know what the current situation of the rivers and lakes looks like, right?"
"Almost," replied Sechin, "I've heard a few of you. β
Tang Jiaju said: "If you have heard it, you will know that the article 'no illegal activities' in the three chapters of the Wuyi Society's covenant is enough to starve a large number of gangs to death. β
"Why?" said Sechin in surprise, something he had never heard before.
Tang Jiaju didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Why do rivers and lakes exist?"
"Uh......" Xie Qin thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Jianghu is not...... Is there a dark society or something?"
"Yes," Tang Jiaju said, "the reason why the dark society exists is because the dark society's businesses can't see the light, otherwise these businesses would survive in the bright society, so why can't they see the light? β
"Oh......" Xie Qin seemed to understand.
Tang Jiaju said: "For example, smugglers, smugglers, smugglers, and then to roosters and dogs, and robbers of houses, these shady businesses together constitute the dark society of the rivers and lakes, and now, Wuyi Society said that illegal activities are prohibited, otherwise they will be directly terminated, for those gangs who have been engaged in illegal activities for generations, this is to sentence them to death, the difference is only immediate execution and chronic suicide."
"If you refuse to obey and engage in your own old business, let the Wuyi Society find out, that is the end of being wiped out, if you obey and no longer engage in the old business, you will lose your income, and this gang will gradually exist in name only, and finally it will cease to exist. β
"I understand," Xie Qin nodded, "The Wuyi Society is going to wipe out all those lawless old deeds." β
"yes. Tang Jiaju nodded, "From the perspective of long-term social stability, there is nothing wrong with doing this, no, it should be." β
Xie Qin looked at Tang Jiaju with a subtle expression.
Tang Jiaju looked at Xie Qin, already understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I haven't been engaged in illegal activities in the Tang Sect...... The Nine Poison Hall and the Red Fire Hall may have done something secretly, after all, they are almost like gangs...... However, my Ziming Hall and Xuanzhu Hall, after the Tang Sect retired, they all relied on the savings of their ancestors and their own work to continue to the present. β
Savings?Xie Qin secretly stammered, looking at so many people in Zimingtang, there are a lot of expenses every day, can it last for so long, how much is this savings...... And there are ......
β...... Work?"
"Yes," Tang Jiayu smiled, "I'm also a businessman." β
"Merchant?" Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, "Hall Master, forgive me for being abruptβwhat kind of business are you doing?"
"Pharmaceutical. Tang Jiaju replied.
"Pharmaceutical?" Xie Qin didn't react at once.
"yes. Tang Jiaju nodded, "What is the Tang Sect best at, secret weapons and medicine." β
"I see. "Xie Qin suddenly realized that he could turn the sect's peerless learning into a business, which is also very powerful.
Tang Jiaju said again: "It's a business of traditional Chinese medicine, and the income is not bad." β
Well, this is also a way for the Jianghu sect to survive in the present world, Xie Qin nodded while thinking, it is quite advancing with the times!
Tang Jiaju said: "Now in this situation, I can also see that the rivers and lakes will die sooner or later, but it doesn't matter if they die, after all, ...... Times have changed. β
"Yes......" Xie Qin heard a deep emotion in his tone.
Everyone chatted for a while, to relieve the tension before the action, but Tang Zhong didn't say a word during this period, he kept staring intently at Yue Di in the distance where Tang Shuyan was riding, for fear that it would disappear from sight.
After another period of time, Tang Zhong determined that this Yuedi was driven by the old one.
Driving into the old school, Yue Di did not go to the city center, but drove in the direction of the suburbs, Xie Qin noticed this scene, he didn't think it was strange, according to Tang Shuyan's previous description, if he was locked up in a place with a single courtyard, this small courtyard was far away from the residential area, surrounded by lush woods, this is obviously in the suburbs or the countryside, there can be no such place in the city.
Yuedi drove more and more remotely, and Tang Zhong became more and more careful, he drove the van farther away from Yuedi, because the more remote he went, the fewer vehicles there were, and the easier it was to be discovered.
At this time, we must not fall short! Therefore, Tang Zhong would rather take the risk of staying away.
Alas, Xie Qin thought to himself, tracking on the ground would have this disadvantage, if only there was a helicopter or something. Tracked in the sky, absolutely not visible in the rearview mirror.
