In the government office, the new prefect Fan Tingqian was extremely anxious after hearing the reports from his subordinates.
The whole family of Prince Yong's Mansion was wiped out, and more than 170 people in the house were killed. Even the young master Zhou Fang, who was not in the house tonight, had his head chopped off on the Huaishui Painted Boat.
The most important thing is that Zhou Yong died.
There is also Princess Zhou Min who has become a disciple of the Shenwu Sect.
When Fan Tingqian first came to Taiyuan Prefecture, he still wanted to sit tight on the Diaoyutai and ignore the turmoil of all forces.
But I didn't expect that after watching it for so many days, I would be hit hard as soon as I started.
Your Majesty's uncle had his whole family slaughtered by the Red Flame Cult.
Fan Tingqian also heard a little bit about what happened in the valley outside the city a few days ago. Because it might involve Prince Yong's Mansion, he didn't ask much about it.
But I didn't expect that if there is one, there are two. The Red Flame Sect is really audacious.
"Search inside and outside the city, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the monsters from the Red Flame Sect!" Fan Tingqian was rarely happy or angry.
Seeing that he was furious, Le Wenzhi, now the mainstay of the government office, naturally did not dare to stay for long, so he ordered the person and left in a hurry.
In the hall, a policeman watched Le Wenzhi leave and said, "I heard that yesterday, Mr. Le went to the dock and had a conflict with the Yuanxing Gang."
Fan Tingqian immediately scolded, "How long has it been and you are still complaining behind my back!"
The head catcher was a little aggrieved and said quickly: "I didn't mean that, I just heard that the person who encouraged Le to catch the head at that time seemed to be the princess."
"Princess?" Fan Tingqian was stunned, "Zhou Min?"
Then, he frowned and said, "Are you trying to say that the matter with Prince Yong's Mansion may be related to the Yuan Xing Gang?"
When the catcher heard this, he just lowered his head and said nothing.
Fan Tingqian pondered for a moment and said: "Send someone to check if there is any action from the Yuanxing Gang tonight, and also check at the city gate to see if there are any suspicious people coming in or out."
"Yes!" The head catcher got the order and walked away excitedly.
This person didn't want to target the Yuan Xing Gang, he just wanted to bury Le Wenzhi.
Unexpectedly, this actually reminded Fan Tingqian and made him suspicious.
…
The next day, the news spread.
In the streets and alleys of Taiyuan City, everyone is talking about this matter.
That was Prince Yong's Palace. Even though it was low-key on weekdays, it was still a real palace. All the royal family and relatives were wiped out like this?
Some people said that they saw the government officials carrying corpses out last night, and now there is no room for them in the Yi Zhuang in the city.
Some people also say that Prince Yong's Palace has offended the Red Flame Sect, and now that the Red Flame Sect has returned to the world, this time it is taking advantage of Prince Yong's Palace to establish its power.
Suddenly, there were divergent opinions.
For example, the Scarlet Flame Sect emerged in Taiyuan Prefecture in the early years, but has now disappeared for a hundred years. If it starts again now, will it cause another catastrophe?
Another example is that the Red Flame Sect started out as a rebellion, and now that it has emerged, regardless of whether there is a big move, there is definitely a need for money and food. This may be the reason for the bloodbath in Prince Yong's Mansion this time.
For a time, all the wealthy businessmen in and around Taiyuan City felt in danger.
Because of this incident, the escort agency in Taiyuan Prefecture became very popular. Those who were guards and thugs, and those who knew some martial arts, their status increased and their worth doubled.
Of course, some people mentioned the Yuanxing Gang.
After all, when it comes to talking about the forces in Taiyuan State, the first one that cannot be avoided is the Yuan Xing Gang.
Now that the Chi Yan Sect is making waves, how will the Yuan Xing Gang deal with it?
You can't just watch it, right?
However, for most people, the incident in Prince Yong's Mansion is just something to talk about after dinner.
The people on the left and right are running brothels. At best, this business can only be done by another person. The flesh and blood business will definitely not affect the pastime.
At most, it's a pity for the princess.
The Red Flame Sect is so cruel.
…
"Gang leader, Xueyue Tower, Tianxiang Pavilion, and Yichun Garden have all sent people here." Alihui reported.
Chu Yunqing glanced at him and said, "You are quite happy?"
Ali was stunned and scratched his head, "Now that Prince Yong's Mansion has collapsed, there is no big shopkeeper behind Fengyue Place in the city. If we take over, it will be a huge business."
"Where's Ke Fang?" Chu Yunqing asked.
"We went out to talk." Ali said: "Those people from the brothel came here just to have a relationship with us."
Chu Yunqing nodded and said nothing.
"The gang leader seems unhappy?" Ali asked cautiously.
"The business is too big for our family to handle," Chu Yunqing said.
Ali was puzzled, "But wasn't it also controlled by Prince Yong's Palace in the past? And there are also Huaishui Painted Boats, which are all properties of Prince Yong's Palace."
"But we are different." Chu Yunqing carefully wrapped the dark gold hammer with gold foil and carefully hammered every detail.
"What's the difference?" Ali asked doubtfully.
Chu Yunqing shook his head, "We have too many transactions."
Ali was startled, and then understood, "I understand, because our business is involved in all walks of life, and our family is big, so for businesses like brothels, we have to share some of it to avoid being jealous and causing trouble."
Chu Yunqing nodded, "That's the truth."
"But if the gang expands, wouldn't the business be more and more good?" Ali is still ambitious.
Chu Yunqing sighed, "We lost too many brothers last time in Thunder Tribulation Valley."
Ali remained silent and shut up.
Although due to the reputation of the Yuanxing Gang, if you go out and shout out now, there will be many people vying to join the Yuanxing Gang, but not everyone will be accepted by the Yuanxing Gang.
Moreover, the upper limit of the number of people is not a floating value.
When traveling in the world, the more people the better, the more important thing is to abide by the rules, because the world is not decided by the world.
If you have more people, your goals will be bigger. To recruit people, you need sufficient capital, and you have to take care of the food and drink of the brothers. Then, the government will ask: Is this recruiting troops to do something evil?
Get stuck here, get into trouble there, not to mention business, even gangs or gangs, it's hard for you to get involved.
Similarly, once your side grows stronger and expands, what will other forces think?
Especially those people in the green forest, who are the most lawless, will not care how powerful you are, they will just give you a cold blow and run away, anyway, we are at home all over the world.
How strong the sect's inheritance is. Once the skills are released, many people kowtow and want to come into the mountain gate, but will the sect accept people like this?
No, I don't dare.
It's one thing to have good and bad trees. The most important thing is that the tree is big and attracts the wind.
Therefore, it is possible for a single family to dominate, but it cannot take over all the jobs.
Even the green forest in the North is divided into several sections, and all parties have to bow to the top of the mountain.
The world is like this, no one can live alone.
The same goes for the imperial court. It cannot and does not dare not to give other forces a way to survive and suppress them, but it still has to pay attention to a certain measure.
Unless someone really feels that they can do it and wants to stand up.
So we have to keep killing, and eventually dynasties change, the old royal power falls, and a new order is born.
If you don't have this ability, you can only follow the rules.
Chu Yunqing was a rough man, so he knew what he was doing.
Ali quickly said: "Then I'll go and remind Hall Master Ke."
"No need." Chu Yunqing called to him, "He is a veteran of the martial arts world and knows what he is doing. Go and get some gold foil for me. The hammer won't be enough."
Ali looked at the gleaming golden hammer on the table, feeling a little dazed.
A broken hammer is covered with gold?
