Martial arts becoming a saint: starting from the royal forbidden area

Chapter 21 Five major gangs!

When Qin Che arrived, there were actually quite a few people waiting in line to leave the city.

It can be seen that Qin Che was not the only one who found that something was wrong and wanted to leave.

Those who are most ready to leave are businessmen.

These people are the most sensitive to changes in the environment, and at the same time the most cautious.

As soon as they realized something was wrong last night, many people had already cleaned up the place overnight and came early in the morning to line up and prepare to leave.

But after the hour came, the city gate did not open.

When they asked, they were told that the city gate would not be opened for the time being and that everyone must stay in the city and wait.

And soon these businessmen discovered that the city defense army, which they usually needed money from, actually didn't want their money.

On weekdays, they would inevitably bring some private goods into the city. As long as they put some money in, the city defense army would let them go.

But today, Sai Yinzi was actually pushed back.

Since being soft is not enough, then everyone can only get together to be hard.

The more bizarre it was, the more determined they were to leave the city.

Many of their belongings are here, but if something goes wrong, half their lives, or even their entire lives, will be in vain.

They don't want to take this risk.

"Everyone, listen to me, there is a lot of chaos outside right now."

"The King Qin's army led by Li Zhu has arrived under the imperial city."

"At this moment, King Qin's army is confronting the Forbidden Army. The situation outside is very chaotic."

"In this time of war and chaos, it is the safest choice for you all to stay in Daoshan City."

A small leader of the city defense army stood up and shouted loudly to the shouting caravan.

But these caravans are already determined to leave here, so how can they listen to a small leader shouting.

While these caravans were making a fuss, a black figure suddenly jumped down from the city wall more than ten meters high.

This black shadow was like an eagle swooping down from the sky, and when it landed, it casually grabbed a shouting person.

Then in front of everyone, he pulled hard with both hands.

The person who was yelling just now was torn apart.

The internal organs were flowing all over the floor, and the scene was extremely horrifying.

When such a scene appeared, the people who were surrounding the city gate just now dispersed.

Some people whose faces were splashed with blood did not dare to wipe the blood on their faces with their hands.

"This is what happens if you leave. Do any of you want to leave?" The voice of the person who landed was like a loud bell, exploding in everyone's ears.

Hearing this voice, everyone present was silent and did not dare to speak.

The huge power that can tear a person in half is not something that ordinary warriors can possess.

This must be a first-rate master, and it is definitely not a third-rate master. At least a second-rate peak master can possess the huge power.

There are many people in the caravan who are capable of martial arts, but these people are usually just warriors.

After learning kung fu, one can reach the realm of skin refining at most.

It's enough to deal with ordinary people or ordinary bandits, but against such an elite master.

They are like babies, as weak as adults.

Seeing that no one was talking, the dark-skinned man looked around at everyone and said: "Since you don't want to leave, we will all go to the City Lord's Mansion to pay the protection fee later.

Each person pays ten taels of silver per day, depending on how many of you there are.

If I find someone hiding something secret, then I will kill the person you don’t want to protect on your behalf. "

When they heard the protection fee of ten taels per person per day, the people in the caravan went numb.

Generally, a caravan has at least 20 people. 20 people a day is 200 taels.

This is a huge sum of money.

The key is that this is still one day. If this lasts for ten or eight days, it will be thousands of taels in protection fees.

Such a huge protection fee is absolutely beyond their reach.

"For this hero, the protection fee of ten taels per person per day is too much. Can it be less?" Someone stood up and suggested tremblingly.

The person who came forward did not dare to say anything about not paying the protection fee. He could only negotiate less.

As for not handing over, it is obviously impossible.

The swarthy man sneered after hearing the suggestion: "Okay, if you want to pay less, you can kill a few people in your team.

If there are fewer people, the protection fee will naturally be less. "

This is absolutely no intention of giving in.

"Then I wonder how many days we need to be protected?" Since we can't pay less, let's see how many days we need to be protected.

The swarthy man smiled and said casually: "I don't know, it might be ten or eight days, it might be one or two months, or it might be half a year.

The specific time depends on when the war outside will subside.

In view of this situation, I suggest you prepare a little more silver.

If you cannot pay the protection fee by then, we will have no way to protect you. "

Hearing what the swarthy man said, all the caravans present turned pale.

If this really lasts for ten or eight days, they can grit their teeth and get through it.

If it only takes a month or two, it will really kill them.

If it's half a year, it would be better to kill them directly.

The swarthy man looked at the expressions of the businessmen who were all ashen-looking, and said nonchalantly: "You should feel lucky.

In such troubled times, we, the five major gangs in the capital, can work together to protect your safety.You should feel honored.

Money is important, but life is more important, so you decide what to do.

We already knew your situation last night. If you want to be clever, you can do it.

Now you have one stick of incense to pay today's protection fee. From now on, you must pay the full protection fee before Chen hour every day, otherwise we will not be able to protect you. "

Seeing the dark man's smile, all the merchants lost their vitality, as if they had turned into zombies.

Qin Che, who was standing far away, frowned slightly when he heard about the five major gangs in the capital.

Qin Che had seen the five major gangs in the capital in an idle book.

Qianjing is a huge city with a population of more than one million.

With a large population, naturally there are mixed forces and numerous gangs.

Except for the forces that do not have gangs in the Imperial City, there are various gangs and forces in other places.

In the Imperial City, the five major gangs are the most powerful and powerful.

The five major gangs respectively occupy the water transport, casinos, brothels, pawn shops, and escort agencies in Qianjing.

These five industries are the most profitable industries and are firmly controlled by the five major gangs.

Being able to control these five major industries is naturally because they have already taken care of everything.

On the other hand, it is because these five major gangs all have masters in the Qi Gathering Realm.

At the same time, he also has a group of subordinates with good martial arts skills.

Strength and power are the basis for their ability to firmly control the five major industries.
