Chapter three hundred and ninety fourth major event
When Gu Cheng knew that Shenxiao Perak Hall dared to have fornication with the barbarians in the North, he was really shocked.
This is a real unexpected bonus.
There have been wars and wars all over the Daqian border area, especially in the past one or two hundred years, when there has been almost no stability.
But in fact, what really alarmed Daqian was not the chaotic Southern Jiu County, nor the Western Xinjiang where aliens rebelled and bandits were rampant, but the Northland occupied by barbarians.
When Daqian first established the country, both the southern nine counties and the western frontier were actually very stable and there were no troubles. But only in the north, Daqian had never really ruled.
The northern land is extremely large, and its depth is even comparable to half of the Central Plains. However, most of it is an extremely cold wasteland, which is not suitable for human survival. A small part is green grassland. The people who live here are called northern barbarians by the Central Plains, but they He calls himself 'Guritu'er', which means son of the god.
Unlike those foreign tribes in Western Xinjiang, where a few hundred people can form a tribe, the barbarians in the North are huge in number and have truly developed their own civilization. When the ten countries competed for hegemony five hundred years ago, the other side even established a country with a very famous name. It’s hard to pronounce, but when translated, it should mean the Kingdom of the Sun God.
It's just that the country established by the barbarians in the north was not recognized by Daqian. Only the ten countries in the Central Plains are called countries. Does your barbarian land deserve to be established as a country?
Therefore, after Daqian unified the world, he also began to conquer the barbarians in the north, but the results were somewhat unsatisfactory, neither victory nor defeat.
If you say that Dagan has won, the Northland is still under the control of those barbarians.
If you say they were defeated, those northern barbarians also surrendered to Da Gan, abolished the country and changed it into tribes, and presented tax gifts to Da Gan every year, although the amount was small.
It is said that the battle when Da Gan attacked the northern barbarians was very difficult. Almost all the northern barbarians were soldiers, and their practitioners were also extremely crazy.
There are two state religions on the other side, one is Barbarian Tantra, also known as Northland Tantra, which is a branch of Tantra that spread to the North, and the other is witchcraft.
When facing the attack of Daqian, the Northern Tantric Sect and the Witch Cult teamed up to massacre one of their own cities. A great wizard sacrificed himself and summoned the legendary demon 'Gergus' from the Witch Cult. It was said that he was wandering around. Monsters in the River Styx in Hell.
Although it was said that the thing was destroyed by Martial Saint Pei Fei's last punch, the other party might have other crazy methods.
Under the threat of rat fear, Da Qian had no choice but to give in. After all, the Central Plains was still full of demons and ghosts and had yet to be pacified.
The barbarians in the North also took the initiative to give in, and the two parties signed an agreement.
However, the barbarians in the North have never given up coveting the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and Daqian has never believed that these barbarians can really live an honest life.
From five hundred years ago to now, Daqian has the largest garrison in the North, and it is the kind that does not rotate for a long time.
This is only for military purposes. Various minerals, herbs and other military training materials produced in the Central Plains are also prohibited from being exported to the North.
But precisely because of the prohibition, smuggling has been banned frequently. The price of smuggling to the Northland can be increased not to mention ten times, but a hundred times!
Looking through the account books taken from Shenxiao Pili Hall, Gu Cheng suddenly realized something.
No wonder Shenxiao Pili Hall dares to raise so many disciples even though it doesn't have any very profitable industry, and it dares to use the method of gradual promotion to select disciples.
It turns out that they secretly have a hugely profitable business like smuggling in the North.
There was also Zhang Songlin. Gu Cheng knew that Zhang Songlin was favored by Shenxiao Pilitang and became a deacon because of his business skills.
But the other party is not that kind of business wizard, and Shenxiao Perak Hall is a bit too generous. It actually gave the other party a position of deacon. You must know that with the scale of Shenxiao Perak Hall, there are only sixth-grade practitioners, and they have both means and strength.
Only those who are qualified to become deacons.
Now it seems that Zhang Songlin may have been responsible for the smuggling business in the North. Once this kind of business is discovered, it will be a big deal, so Shenxiao Pilitang gave him the position of deacon and made him one of the core members of the sect.
, just to win over the other party.
Chen Danggui asked: "Sir, is this news very useful?"
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "It's useful, of course it's useful. Shenxiao Pilitang has done something wrong for itself. It's hard for them not to die this time."
In Gu Cheng's view, most Jianghu sects are not that clean. Even in Buddhist holy places like Yamantaka Temple, they dare to pat their chests and say that they have not done anything wrong and have not killed anyone?
But no matter how unclean they are, there is still a bottom line.
For example, the Yamantaka Temple will definitely not do something like the Samsara Sect, which wantonly slaughters people's blood-fed Shuras.
Having liaisons with the barbarians in the North was not only a taboo in the eyes of the imperial court, but also a taboo in the eyes of most Jianghu people.
Cultivation has no national boundaries, but practitioners have national boundaries.
They may not recognize Daqian, but they recognize them as practitioners from their own Central Plains. In their eyes, the barbarians from the North are aliens, not our own race, and their hearts must be different!
Once the northern barbarians are allowed to grow bigger, the border areas will inevitably suffer. In the past, when the Ten Kingdoms were at war, the northern barbarians often invaded and occupied the Central Plains land, and there were countless massacres of cities.
These barbarians dared to massacre their own city, so naturally they also dared to massacre cities in the Central Plains.
Many people in the Central Plains were even kidnapped by the other side and became slaves, and slaves became extinct in the Central Plains thousands of years ago.
Therefore, most sects in the Central Plains are very resistant to having fornication with barbarians.
Shenxiao Pilitang is also so poor that they dare to do this kind of business.
And because Jingyesi, the land of Jiangnan, is weak and incompetent and can hardly control the martial arts in Jiangnan County, God Xiao Pilitang may have been doing this business for a long time.
………………
In the Shenxiao Pili Hall, Duan Kun no longer paid attention to the water transportation.
It's not that he doesn't want to pay attention, but that the Jiang family suppressed the matter immediately. If he makes trouble again, he will not give the Jiang family face.
At this moment, a disciple suddenly ran in in a hurry, turned around and closed the door, and said in a panic: "The hall master is not good! The merchant ship of our Shenxiao Pili Hall has been robbed!"
Duan Kun hummed and said: "So what if we are robbed? With the Jiang family here, can we still cause trouble for those three gangs?"
The disciple looked anxious and said: "It was our Shenxiao Perak Hall's own merchant ship that was robbed! All the escorting disciples were killed, and all the goods and account books were robbed!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Kun's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply: "Quick! Call all the elites in the hall to go to the Dajiang Gang immediately!"
At this moment, Duan Kun was already murderous.
He knew what the consequences would be if the things they did in Shenxiao Pilitang were discovered.
But the problem is that Shenxiao Perak Hall has been doing this kind of smuggling business for decades, and even did it when the previous head of the hall was there, and it has never been discovered, so this has also caused Shenxiao Perak Hall to relax its vigilance.
It was Duan Kun's idea to switch from the previous land route to the water route this time.
The time taken by water is twice as fast, and the profit is naturally doubled. In his opinion, water transportation is now under his control and is actually safer than the land route.
In the end, who would have thought that they were robbed just once they left, and it must have been done by Dajiang's gang!
If they reveal this matter, even if the martial arts community in Jiangnan County is monolithic, the court will not let him go. Even other martial arts forces in Jiangnan County may not stand on his side this time!
Therefore, he must completely destroy the Dajiang Gang before the news spreads to avoid future troubles!
Jinling Mansion is so big, so Duan Kun's Divine Thunderbolt Hall cannot hide anything from others.
Yuande and Jin Wanshan were still a little curious as to why Duan Kun didn't catch them this time.
Just when they were about to ask about the situation, Gu Cheng took the initiative to come to them.
"You two, the Shenxiao Perak Hall's merchant ship was robbed. Hall Master Duan is really anxious this time and is going to have a big game. This time he went down the mountain with thousands of elites from the Shenxiao Perak Hall."
Yuan De frowned and said: "Duan Kunye's temper is also too irritable. Is there anything that I can't talk about properly and I have to go out with all my strength as soon as it comes up?
The martial arts community in Jiangnan County cannot be in chaos, Master Gu, it just so happens that you and I can go to the Dajiang Gang to stop him."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "It's enough for me to go. Master Yuande and the head of the Jin family, please help the two of you support the Jiang family."
Yuan De was surprised and said: "Why?"
Gu Cheng sneered and said: "People from the Jiang family are too confident. They really think that if the Jiang family says anything, the entire martial arts force in Jiangnan County will execute it like an imperial edict.
This time Jiang Huanzhen forcibly suppressed the various factions, but as a result, everyone's anger was suppressed in their hearts. Now Hall Master Duan has been stirred up again and can't suppress it at all.
Allowing Jiang Huanzhen to go will only lead to bad things. It is better to block things than to block them. Forcibly suppressing things will only make things worse.
If you believe me, please rest assured. As the acting envoy of Jiangnan County, I only need to ensure the stability of Jiangnan County in the past two or three months. I don’t want anything to happen within these two or three months."
Hearing what Gu Cheng said, Yuande and Jin Wanshan looked at each other and nodded.
In fact, they were also somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Huanzhen.
It's true that your Jiang family is powerful and has high prestige, but you don't even have a solution to this kind of thing, and just use strong methods to convince everyone. Who can be truly satisfied?
"Then I'll leave this matter to Master Gu."
A smile appeared on Gu Cheng's lips and he said, "Don't worry, I, Gu Cheng, am absolutely reliable in my work."
After Gu Cheng left, Yuande and Jin Wanshan also came to Jiang Huanzhen's place.
Jiang Huanzhen came to Jinling Mansion alone, and his information was not that well-informed.
However, he has paid some money to bribe some media outlets to help him find out the news.
Jiang Huanzhen had just gone out at this time, and was about to ask the gossip media about the recent trends in the martial arts in Jiangnan County, when he saw Yuande and Jin Wanshan coming together.
"Deacon Jiang, this poor monk came to you to discuss Buddhist scriptures."
