Chapter five hundred and twelfth difference between inside and outside
Fu Jingtao's fists tightened, and his anger rushed straight to the top door. His violent murderous aura was ashamed to death, and Xiao Dexing was so shocked that he lingered and shouted for his life.
Fu Jingtao couldn't help but be angry.
The imperial guards in front of the palace are the personal soldiers of the emperor. They must protect the imperial city. When they travel with them, they are the guards of the emperor. They are the elite among the elites, and their base is located on the edge of the imperial city. If the crossbow arrows attacking the princess of the Song Dynasty flow out of the palace, it really means that - the relatives are hurt, and the enemy is happy!
He took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice: "It is a death sentence for stealing and selling weapons. Even if this man surnamed Ma is taken care of by his brother-in-law, he would not be bold, right? Could it be that the military officer in the imperial guards, the military judges are blind and deaf, and do not check the number of inspection equipment?"
Xiao Dexing smiled bitterly: "Any army will strictly control and order the equipment of the probationary armor, but there is a loophole here, and the normal training and exercises will cause losses! Moreover, the armor needs to be maintained and updated after being used for a long time. The Palace Front Office often accepts inspections by the emperor, so the exercise training is very frequent, and the loss of the armor is far greater than that of the ordinary imperial guards. The old equipment that was eliminated and replaced should have been destroyed or recasted, but Ma Wanzhu used his unique connections to bribe all links. Through false reports, concealment, replacement of pillars, and other means, he brought out the old armor from the military camp, polished the logo and sold it in the black market."
In the chaotic times, everyone is in danger. Those big merchants who travel through various countries and engage in commodity trade have well-equipped private armed forces, specializing in dealing with bandits and robbers along the way. If there is no protection from force, the caravan will be robbed ten miles away from the city. Therefore, the old soldiers eliminated by the army will not have any concerns about not having any sales.
Fu Jingtao suddenly said, "So that's it!"
Xiao Dexing simply confessed: "Not only have loopholes within the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, but also the Khitan army of the Liao Kingdom also had the same problem. Didn't the Han people say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water? How can the leading generals make money? Of course, they have to rely on armor, weapons, crossbows, arrows and war horses!"
Fu Jingtao pondered: "You are familiar with the internal affairs of the army and have deep connections in the Khitan. You can get rid of bows and horses for a long time... Oh, your surname is Xiao, is it because you are from the Khitan tribe? You have a noble status but are far away from your hometown. You are willing to hide in Kaifeng City to manage your lowly business, not just for money - are you a secret spy from the Northern Liao?"
A secret spy from Northern Liao?! Li Qimai was so scared that he was sweating profusely, wishing to cover his ears and flew thousands of miles away. If he was labeled as "counciling into enemy countries and betraying his ancestors", he would not only have to be punished, but also to bring shame to his family and he would not be able to look up as a human being in his life!
Xiao Dexing's face was distorted, and two lines of tears suddenly shed in his eyes. He punched the ground with his fists and screamed: "No, I am not a secret spy in Beiliao! My family was destroyed, and my wife and children died of misfortune. I am all thanks to the foolish emperor Yelu Shulu! I just want to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and dig out the heart and liver of the foolish emperor. Xiao swears to heaven and dark that he will be a mortal enemy of Beiliao in this life!"
His screams were shrill and cold, like a ghost who was thrilling.
Fu Jingtao carefully distinguished Xiao Dexing's expression, and said coldly: "The mortal enemy of Bei Liao is my friend. Li Qi bought Boss Li, immediately stopped the bleeding and applied medicine to Boss Xiao, and bandaged the wound."
Xiao Dexing was surprised and struggled to get up to thank him. Li Qimai did not dare to neglect her. While asking his subordinates to deal with Xiao Dexing's injuries, he respectfully invited Fu Jingtao into the living room to sit down.
Fu Jingtao asked casually: "Is Boss Li a local? When will the gang be established?"
Li Qi bought half of his butt and was next to the stool, and replied carefully: "Report to the Demon Lord, Li's ancestral home is from Datong Mansion, and he has been in the capital for fifteen years. Li and a group of brothers tweaked the Wild Wolf Gang to play with him for fun, just scaring foreigners, and he can't get on the table at all."
Fu Jingtao then asked: "How many gangs are there in the capital now?"
Li Qimai said, "The Demon Lord, the capital is at the foot of the emperor, with noble people and imperial guards rampant. As far as I know, there are about fifty or sixty gangs in the city, and the largest one is slaughtered by no more than a hundred people, and their strength is limited. In fact, the grandmothers who are in our craft do not love our uncles and do not love them. They rely on making some hard work to survive. During the holidays, they have to respect the men of Kaifeng Prefecture and the Imperial City Department. If they are careless, they will be caught and beaten to the board. It is a pity to think about it."
There are Imperial City Division, Shadow Dragon Guard, and Kaifeng Mansion is under pressure. How can the underworld gang become bigger and stronger? This is the place where the emperor lives. Whoever dares to show his head and dominate the world will be far from death! Imperial City Division, Kaifeng Mansion, usually turns a blind eye to the point of raising fish in muddy water, and it is convenient for one to catch one's own benefits. Anyway, there are whites, and people who are in the underworld are like cutting leeks, one after another, and they can never be eliminated.
Fu Jingtao tapped the table with his finger: "As a matter of this, no one in the underground world in the capital is dominant. Are you the ones who dominate the rivers? "
Li Qimai nodded and said, "Everyone basically agrees with the rules on the road and will not cross the boundaries. After all, no one is good for a big deal, so why bother himself to the prison?" He paused and said, "Although no one has made a breakthrough in the city, the money-making industry outside the city has long been divided by several major forces. They are the real tycoons in the martial arts world, and their strength is unfathomable."
Fu Jingtao said, "Oh, let's talk about it."
Li Qimai told the story with his fingers. Kaifeng City has a population of over one million and has stationed about 100,000 imperial guards. Every day, it costs more than 100,000 food and clothing, housing and transportation alone. Countless goods gathered from all directions, and industries and industries benefited from it. Surrounding the capital, hundreds of guilds, chambers of commerce and various alliances were established, and the dragon and snake were mixed, and the open and secret struggles between them were extremely fierce.
The canal gangs make a living by boats. The hall is located on the edge of the Yellow River. It is the gang with the largest number of people, the most complex and the strongest strength. It monopolized the canal transport from south to north and has a close relationship with the government.
The He Gang, who has some connection with the Cao Gang, almost monopolized the live fish trading in the capital, owned dozens of wharfs, and also engaged in warehouse rental business.
The White Horse Gang controlled more than 60% of the mule and horse transactions in the capital. It has several large horse farms in the eastern and southern suburbs, which are closely related to the generals and the imperial guards.
The Five Blessings League mainly controls the transaction of live pigs and live chickens and ducks. It supplies thousands of live pigs and countless chickens and ducks to restaurants in Beijing every day.
In addition, the Qingmu Gang, the Four Seas Association, the Baihua Alliance and others have their own ways to make money, and they often gang up more than a thousand people and worship unknown masters. They all set up the main hall in a remote place outside the city, far away from the imperial guards' camps and official roads. The gang members never make trouble in the city, and they will go out of the city to resolve any disputes.
Li Qimai sighed: "Compared with these gangs with great hands and eyes, we have no background and no financial resources, and we are no different from beggars on the roadside. We are not even worthy of carrying shoes for others."
Fu Jingtao nodded secretly. The city is covered with peace, and occasionally there are small fish that spit out bubbles without any harm. Outside the city is the cruel world where the strong prey on the weak! He said leisurely: "Boss Li, if I guide you a way to make a fortune, would you rather make a breakthrough?"
Li Qimai was shocked, and suddenly looked up at the cold and deep eyes. Deep in his heart, he burned like wildfire and said loudly: "The villain wishes to follow the Demon Lord to the death!"
