Chapter 36 Environment
After the third leader finished speaking, he walked step by step to Xiaolan, looked at Xiaolan's figure with a look of appreciating the goods, and finally, under Boss Song's worried gaze, the messy hair on Xiaolan's head slowly lifted up.
Before, he was held out by the subordinates of the Hailong Gang, with his hair disheveled, and he couldn't see clearly his appearance.
Now that Xiaolan's hair was lifted up, he saw the girl crying and frightened, and said with a smile: "I look pretty good, how about it, do you want to marry me?"
Xiaolan felt a chill in her heart, like a poisonous snake crawling forward on her neck.
Boss Song, who was beside him, whispered: "Third Master..."
"What are you worried about? Just kidding, am I the kind of person you think?" Sandang turned around, followed the shelf he had used before, and then jumped back to the boat.
"Young guys, let's go!" The Sandangjia stood by the boat, looked at Xiaolan deeply, and then walked away with a smile, as if something very happy had happened.
After a hustle and bustle, the Hailong Gang's men left on a large ship, but they didn't know that they had escaped a murder.
Zuo Zhicheng also let go of his hands that had been tightly clenched before. If the Hailong Gang really wanted to do something just now, he could only expose his martial arts and kill them all. This was also to repay Xiaolan and his daughter for saving their lives. He could not watch the other party be humiliated.
After the Hailong Gang's men left, everyone on the boat suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
A middle-aged sailor said, "Fortunately the black-hearted tiger was not crazy. I think Xiaolan will hide quickly after he goes back." The so-called black-hearted tiger is obviously the nickname of the Third Head.
"Didn't the black tiger have all taken eight concubines?"
Old Xing said fiercely: "Hmph, this black-hearted tiger is the most lewd. I heard that the woman he likes, even if she is married and has children, will be robbed and deceived by secretly."
When Xiaolan heard a few people say one by one, he showed a look of worry on his face. Boss Song, who was beside him, comforted him: "Xiaolan, don't worry. When I get home this time, I will send you to Master Jiang's house for a few days. Master Jiang is kind-hearted and will definitely be willing to protect you."
After listening to a few words, Zuo Zhicheng realized that the so-called Master Jiang was the owner of a Haoran Martial Arts Hall in Xinlu Port. He was generous and heroic, and had a righteous attitude. He had stood out for ordinary people in Xinlu many times.
Many workers at the dock have practiced martial arts in the Haoran Martial Arts Hall and have been protected by Master Jiang. This is a small neutral force in the new land. However, because the martial arts hall is not as good as a gang and has no restraint, the relationship between the members is very loose. It only relies on Master Jiang's personal prestige and martial arts to make gangs like the Hailong Gang feel scruples.
The people on the ship discussed it again, but they could not come up with any more effective way to prevent the black-hearted tiger. Zuo Zhicheng, who was standing by, didn't say anything from beginning to end, and Boss Song and others naturally never expected him. After all, in their opinion, Zuo Zhicheng was just a bad guy who encountered a shipwreck before coming to the New World. He was penniless and didn't know anything in the New World. His situation was even more miserable than himself, so how could he expect it?
After everyone discussed for a while, they didn't think of any better way. After Boss Song dispersed to work, Zuo Zhicheng walked to Boss Song and inquired about the situation of Xinlu and Hailong Gang.
Boss Song glanced at him and said, "Brother Zuo, what are you doing with the Hailong Gang?"
Zuo Zhicheng smiled like an ordinary sunny boy: "It's nothing, I just see that they seem to be very arrogant and a little curious."
Boss Song reminded: "Brother Zuo, the New World is not like the Central Plains. The imperial court is beyond the reach here. Although there are many opportunities, it is even more dangerous. A large gang like the Hailong Gang cannot be offended."
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died. Although he didn't say this, he could not understand the meaning.
He was afraid that Zuo Zhicheng would be angry for a moment, and a young man would be passionate. Not only would he be unlucky, but he also implicated them, so he reminded him a few words. Seeing that Zuo Zhicheng nodded and listened carefully, he began to introduce the situation of Xinlu and Hailong Gang.
The New Land Port is one of the port cities established by Daqi in the New World, and all the colonies of Daqi in the New World were managed by three patrols. The so-called patrols were established by Daqi for the New World. The highest officials of the imperial court in the colony, but they could manage anything, but they could not control the garrison of Daqi. This was to prevent the imperial court from becoming far away from the patrol of the Grand Emperor and becoming independent after having an army.
However, this constraint situation has caused the patrol and the garrison generals to restrain each other, and the power of the court in the New World was weakened. Of course, the weakening of this power does not refer to the outside but mainly to the inside.
Although the inspector has a high position, he has insufficient force and is in a place where there is no place to transform. Various ethnic groups and religions live in a mixed world. Coupled with the racial conflict between the indigenous people and the Daqi people, various reasons have caused the inspector to have insufficient control over the colonies and unable to maintain public order well, which has led to the large number of various gangs, bandits, horse thieves, and pirates.
As time goes by, although the army and officials still check and balance each other, they are already connected to the indigenous peoples of the New World and the Great Qi court, making the court's control over the place weaker and almost become an enclave.
The laws of Daqi are almost unable to move forward in this land. Instead, the New World has had its own rules after decades of development. This has also made local officials corrupt and the entire officialdom almost corruption.
But the maritime trade between the New World and the Central Plains, as well as various treasured resources from the New World, can bring huge profits every year.
This is also the reason why the Great Qi Dynasty sent people to regain control of this place.
Hearing this, Zuo Zhicheng couldn't help but think of the fleet he had in before. The destruction of the fleet seemed very strange, which made him wonder if it was related to the forces of the New World. If it were related, the water here might be deeper than he thought. It also made him more determined and not contact the court for the time being.
After all, with such darkness, once he was discovered as the only survivor of the fleet, he might be trapped in a battle between the top leaders.
The Hailong Gang was born under such complex circumstances. Its power is deeply rooted in the New Land. There are thousands of gang members alone. The leader of the gang, Long Feiyang, is known as the Fenhailong. There are four other leaders under his command, known as the Four Heavenly Kings, who are responsible for his smuggling, human trafficking, drug trafficking, debt collection, and **.
They and another Baijiahui, composed of people from several indigenous peoples of the New World, are the two largest gang organizations in the New World.
After Zuo Zhicheng learned a little about the situation in Xinlu Port, thoughts kept flashing through his mind.
‘This situation is suitable for me to take advantage of the situation. I can accumulate wealth, practice martial arts, and study Taoism in secret.’
‘But that black-hearted tiger probably won’t let it go.’
Thinking of the Black Heart Hu who had just left, Zuo Zhicheng seemed to smell another scent that was extremely familiar to him in his previous life.
