One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 246

Gate Kaicheng is the largest city in the river, and although the area is not as good as Lincheng, because of the climate and environment, the buildings in the city are mostly wooden attics, and the population is concentrated. Compared with Lincheng, the population is much larger.

However, there is no specific number of people.

Some of the ancestors lived here, some of the nearby villages and towns fled to more prosperous cities, and some of them escaped here from the hinterland of Da Zhao.

The law and order is extremely chaotic and can only be maintained by the various gangs.

And these gangs are not good people. In addition to the merchants passing by, the people under their jurisdiction are also their targets of oppression.

In this way, there are many contradictions, and various conflicts occur frequently.

In the past few days, it was the time of the ghost market auction. People from all walks of life poured into it, and the situation in the city became more and more chaotic.

The operation of such a big city, the daily consumption of materials is simply unimaginable for ordinary people.

In order to maintain the existence of Gate Kaicheng, such activities as black market ghost market auctions have become inevitable.

In addition to absorbing more money, the vast majority of the gang members are also selected from these people.

Under the general environment, few people living in the city feel that it is a bad behavior to join a gang to persecute others, and even most of the people living in it have the goal of joining these gangs.

All the businesses of the three religions and nine streams are gathered here. There are casino hooks everywhere. After nightfall, there is no curfew.

But even so, many merchants in the hinterland of Da Zhao were still willing to hang around at this time.

Even if more people go out dead than alive, there are still people who enter here one after another.

In fact, the situation in Kaicheng is a bit complicated. Although it has a large population, it is not luxurious.

Compared with the extravagance of Yunhaizhou, it is more like a place to hide and hide behind their bright and splendid shores.

But precisely because of this, when the fall here, it is more natural and more thorough.

On this day, the gate of the gate of Kaicheng was open, and several guards wearing Da Zhao-style armor were sitting under the city wall and dozing off.

A group of members of the gang wearing gray coarse cloth and vermilion-colored waistcoats were maintaining order at the city gate.

All the carriages and horses passing by here need to be checked, and even the people in the carriages are not spared.

Some caravans in the back were a little impatient, so they simply set up camp next to the place where the gang belonged.

However, the money to be spent here doesn't have to be in town at all!

Of course, it’s not impossible to want to spend no money. No one will care if you go a few miles away. As long as you are not afraid of being robbed and killed, you can set up camp at will.

It’s not that there is no one who wants money or life, but there are only a handful of people who can get here. After all, after entering the Haichuan River and walking all the way to the door to Kaicheng, they have experienced many obstacles, but they can still be iron, and that end is also real iron!

If those people can get through this final stage and leave here alive, they will be legends, and they will be boasted about their existence for many years.

However, in this ghost market, there seems to be no such hard-core people.

For this reason, some people who often walk here are a little surprised. Taking advantage of the absence of entering the city, several people belonging to different caravans gathered together to talk about this.

One of the lean men stood among the group of people, looking at the other side of his caravan while talking.

"Have you heard who is going to be behind recently?!"

He didn't have any news, he was simply inquiring about gossip.

A slightly younger man among the group looked at him and shook his head.

"I haven't heard of it. The last time I heard of such a thing was in the first year!"

"I know what you said. After the year, someone stopped behind for a while, but I don't know who reminded me, so I quickly packed up and left. I heard that I was afraid that people would catch up and ran wild all the way, but unfortunately I don't know what happened later! "

Speaking of these things, several people quickly chatted.

"Then he can still run away. I heard that he is almost running into and out of Haichuan, but let the copper coin club catch up. People are dead, and goods are lost... tragic!"

"That's really miserable. If they run for a few more days, the Copper Coin Club will destroy the Jinyintang!"

"What? Copper coins will destroy Jinyintang?"

"You don't know about such a big thing? How long has the copper coin fair been extinguished!"

The person who questioned that the copper coins would be destroyed just now was none other than the somewhat young man.

Hearing this news, his expression suddenly changed.

Their caravan has always followed the way of the copper coin club, and they have been in peace with each other for many years.

But if the copper coins will be gone, they will have ups and downs this trip!

Thinking of this, he panicked in his heart, and quickly handed over to the rest of the people.

"I suddenly remembered that there is still something to deal with, so I will leave first."

His panic was caught in the eyes of several people, and the remaining few people looked at each other, and some tacit emotions circulated among them.

This young man missed the bottom, and the road behind is not easy to walk.

On a carriage not far from the few people, the driver raised his head slightly, and a piece of delicate dark skin and a pair of bright eyes appeared under his pocket.

The slender figure in the cloth clothes turned out to be a woman.

In such a place, there are not many women haunting.If you don't have the ability, you can't even guarantee your own safety.

But in the same way, those who can walk freely here either have a strong background or are powerful, but they are also not dared to bully by ordinary people.

The woman is holding a whip, sitting on top of the carriage, her back against the carriage.

This carriage is not very luxurious, and in the queue in front of it, it looks very mediocre.

That's why things like a girl driving a car don't seem to attract so much attention.

Listening to the movement outside, the person in the carriage knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the girl leaned her ear back, and heard a thin voice inside.

"Sister, I just watched it, and the three of them seem to be waking up soon. Be gentle when you are driving, and don't make any noise."

The girl sitting outside the door did not answer, but just knocked on the wall of the car in response, and then sat up straight, quietly listening to the voices of the people around her.

"Why are there so many people today? The ghost market is not a black market, and you may not be able to find anything when you come here!"

"Haven't you heard? There is a fragment of a treasure map in this year's auction."

"Another piece? I'm pregnant... I wonder if they drew it themselves!"

The person who spoke was quite loud just now, but when he spoke about the main point, he quickly lowered his voice, obviously not wanting to offend those gang members in Menkaicheng.
