The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 700 The fog is heavy
Looking at Chang'an, the future is bleak.Going from south to north to follow the geese, the journey is difficult.Qingni Xiaojianguan, red leaves on the bank of the river, white grass and clouds.Fame is half a piece of paper, and there are thousands of mountains in the wind and snow.

——"Happiness in front of the palace · Ke Zhong" Zhang Kejiu (Yuan Dynasty)

……

After hearing the story of the "weak chicken", Bai Fu sighed, and his resentment could not be calmed down for a long time.

Bai Fu seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at the girl gang leader, and asked suddenly: "How do you know about the 'weak chicken' so clearly?"

The girl gang leader was silent, and slowly turned her back, a tear was crystal clear, falling from her cheek, fell to the ground, and shattered.

Turning her head again, the girl gang leader had no more tears, and her expression returned to normal.

The girl gang leader said: "'Weak chickens' are selected from thousands of children by the survival of the fittest.

Becoming a gladiator is only the first step. Only the best fighters who have survived a hundred battles will be favored by dignitaries and nobles, and they will be bought with huge sums of money.Only in this way can we stay away from the days when the blade licks blood. "

Bai Fu said: "The sales of gladiators are very secretive, how do you know who bought them?"

The girl gang leader sneered and said, "Didn't I tell you who the buyer is?"

Bai Fu was astonished, and went in without knowing.

The girl's gang leader said: "Nobles and nobles, whoever buys a gladiator will lose the treasure. This is our mark."

Bai Fu suddenly realized, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

The Jinwu Guard has a copy of the owner's list, whether they are relatives of the emperor or a wealthy family.Among the people who are acquainted with him, Li Ruoyou and Wei Boyu are on the list.

Although gladiators are highly skilled in martial arts, they all practice the art of killing, so they are not suitable as retinues, housekeepers, or personal bodyguards.

What's more frightening is that most gladiators are devoid of humanity, there is no distinction between good and evil, and they have no other purpose except to be assassins and dead soldiers.

What are these people buying Gladiators for?
Bai Fu frowned, guessing the intentions of everyone on the list.

Bai Fu thought of something, and suddenly asked: "You said just now that 'weak chickens' are selected from thousands of children. If so, wouldn't tens of thousands of children be trafficked? Who is manipulating all this?"

The girl gang leader said: "The traffickers are from an underground gang named Caiyi Club.

Now wars are raging, people are dying, and starvation is everywhere. Poor people can only sell their children and daughters to survive.

The people are honest and honest, thinking that if they sell their children, the children can still have something to eat, but they don't know the sufferings of the trafficked children.

Boys with odd bones and strong bodies are sold to killer organizations and trained as gladiators; handsome boys are sold into palaces, castrated as slaves or sold to dignitaries as child prostitutes; boys with no characteristics are sold For the scum in the beggar gang, goug out their eyes, cut off their legs, and beg along the street.

This is true for boys, not to mention the tragic fate of girls.

The Caiyi Society trafficked people, and at the beginning gave some money to the poor.Later, the front foot gave the money, and the back foot was in a place where there was no one. They directly killed the parents of the children and took back the money. "

……

In the glorious and prosperous age, there is such a tragedy!
Bai Fu's canthus cracked, almost biting his silver teeth into pieces.

He is too familiar with the Caiyi Club, and the big proprietor is Yang Guozhong's third concubine and Yang Yichan's biological mother - "Three Niangs of the Silver Sword" Yin Fenglan.

Maweipo Yang's family were all put to death, but they didn't expect that this person was not dead, and secretly engaged in such a wicked deed.

After the girl gang leader finished speaking, she changed her indifferent expression, looked at Bai Fu, and said full of expectation: "General Bai, if you are willing to eradicate Caiyi Society, our gang will be driven by the general to go through fire and water!"

Bai Fu suppressed his anger, and said: "Where is their main altar, how can they catch them all?"

……

The girl leader led Bai Fu through the labyrinth of shacks.The sun shines through the roof of the thatched hut, and the light and shadow are colorful.

On both sides of the narrow passageway of the huts, there are small thatched huts like beehives, exuding the rotten smell of thatch.There were ghosts and shadows in the hut, and there was no sound.

As Bai Fu was walking, suddenly a withered hand in the shape of a skeleton stretched out from the darkness, which startled Bai Fu.Looking intently at the past, a scrawny woman who didn't know whether she was a human or a ghost was lying in front of the door, disheveled.

The girl's gang leader scolded in a low voice, and the woman quickly withdrew her hand.

The girl gang leader kept walking, and sighed: "Outsiders all know that Pingkangfang is the gold-selling cave and the palace of ecstasy, and all the girls in the workshop are pink girls, but they don't know how much filth there is behind it.

The oiran suffering from sores, the old and decayed famous actress, the deaf and blind Qin Niang... had nowhere to go, no one took them in, they all gathered here like sewage, waiting to die. "

Bai Fu was shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect that the deep lane of Pingkangfang was so dirty and dirty.

In the deepest part of the alley, there is a small green brick courtyard with two entrances.

Entering the hall, there is a tea room. A man with a figure like a bear and a ferocious appearance sits around the stove, uses a cattail fan to lightly fan the charcoal fire under the red clay stove, and boils water for tea.

This person is the bad handsome "Xiong Ba" Xiong Badou of Wannian County.

Seeing Bai Fu, Xiong Badou got up and saluted, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "General Bai, I chose to meet here today because I want to throw away my official position and have an equal dialogue. If you feel offended, let's say goodbye and pretend that we have never met before."

Bai Fu looked at Xiong Badou with eyes like torches.Xiong Badou didn't feel cramped or nervous, and was open and frank.

Bai Fu waved his hand and said: "Xiong Ba, since you said that, there must be your deep meaning. But it doesn't matter."

Xiong Badou nodded, poured tea for Bai Fu, and said: "Before we were responsible for the investigation and arrest of bad people, we were all people with bad deeds in Chang'an.

This shanty town used to be the tyrant of Pingkangfang.Teahouses, restaurants, casinos, brothels, ball courts, etc. are all under our control.

If a gambler reneges on his debt and escapes, or a Cailou girl is abducted, we will be responsible for arresting them.

After a year, he can collect a lot of protection fees, and he is happy to be kind and enmity, just like a prince. "

Bai Fu looked as usual, and motioned for Xiong Badou to continue.

Xiong Badou said: "Thieves have their own way, and our underground gang also has its own rules, for example, we will never force a good man into prostitution; we will never hurt our family when we collect gambling debts...

The Caiyi Club does all kinds of evil, breaking the rules of the road.The methods are despicable, even our Chang'an gangsters can't stand it.The big families of the gang had no choice but to entrust me to contact the general, hoping to facilitate this matter. "

Bai Fu wondered: "Why do you need to ask the government to come forward to deal with the underground forces?"

Xiong Badou said: "It stands to reason that this is their family matter, and they should not join forces with officials.

But Yin Fenglan, the big proprietor of the Caiyi Club, somehow found the backer in the palace.

Several big families joined forces to try to eradicate the Caiyi Society.However, several actions not only ended in failure, but also ended in death. "

"Oh?" Bai Fu raised his brows, this kind of conscienceless organization has someone in the palace to support it.

Bai Fu asked, "Who is the umbrella?"

Xiong Badou took out a jade tablet from his bosom, handed it to Bai Fu and said, "Empress Empress."

This jade tablet is the size of a palm and is crystal clear.On the front is a pair of jade phoenixes, the phoenix dances to the nine heavens, and the Dou clan emblem is on the back.It is the queen's royal thing.

"Queen Zhang?" Bai Fu was quite surprised.

One must know that Empress Dou's grandmother is the elder sister of Emperor Xuanzong's mother, Empress Zhaocheng, and also a descendant of the empress Dou, how could she collude with Yin Fenglan of Caiyi Club?
Yang Guozhong had a lot of power in those days, but he and Prince Li Heng had always been at odds with each other.Even if Yin Fenglan has the status of Yang Guozhong's third concubine, it is impossible to make friends with the princess of the past and today's Queen Zhang.

Bai Fu frowned, the city of Chang'an in front of him seemed to be covered with fog, and the connections between various roads were intertwined, making it dizzying.

Just as Bai Fu was meditating, a young man walked into the courtyard and handed a small bamboo tube to the girl gang leader.

The girl opened the bamboo tube, took out a note, and read it expressionlessly.

The girl said: "I just received the news that 'Weak Chicken' has been bought with a lot of money and made a condition that 'Yasha' can't refuse."

"Who is it?" Bai Fu asked in a deep voice.

'Weak Chicken' was bought for the first time.Buyers are not only interested in the "weak chicken"'s killing skills against the sky, but also don't want too many people to notice the existence of "weak chicken".

The girl gang leader watched the changes on Bai Fu's face with great interest, and without further ado, handed the note in his hand to Bai Fu.

There was an address written on the note, which Bai Fu was all too familiar with.

"East Palace?"

Bai Fu's pupils contracted suddenly, and he shuddered.
