Chapter 165 Stopped
Just when Sun Shan's body was sleeping soundly and his soul was floating, he was practicing day and night without interruption.
A large group of strong men rushed into several entrances outside Hengzhou City.
Their eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of murderous intent in them.
Although the total number of this large group of young and strong men was no less than five or six hundred, they entered separately and did not speak to each other.
However, their clothes and expressions are somewhat similar.
People feel that he is stiff and not easy to deal with at first sight.
Since the establishment of Sunshan's Datong Chamber of Commerce, charitable activities such as distributing porridge, labor-for-food and labor-for-pay have begun.
Hengzhou City became more and more prosperous day by day, and more and more people poured in.
In just two or three months, the population increased by nearly 100,000.
This is already a very large number.
You know, most of the small cities in this world may not have more than 100,000 people.
The current total population of Hengzhou City is around 300,000.
And it is still growing.
If we ignore the size of the city, just based on the population, Hengzhou City has approached or exceeded the population of the provincial capital Chuzhou.
It can already be listed as a first- or second-tier city in the Sui Empire.
With the improvement of business environment and employment opportunities, not to mention the refugees, even the counties and towns under Hengzhou and other provincial capitals have seen a continuous influx of people.
Fortunately, population control in this world is quite strict.
Most people, without a pass, may have to live in a small circle of no more than 100 miles for their entire lives.
However, some are bold, some are well-informed, or have ulterior motives.
There is always an opportunity.
After the initial confusion caused by Sun Shan's coma, Su Yuan also passed his own adaptation period.
With the support of his brother-in-law, he quickly gained a foothold in the police station.
This is not only due to the cooperation of Wang Dashan, but also the support of important figures in the official scene.
As the de facto boss of the police station, Chen Kun's care and promotion of Su Yuan was particularly obvious.
As a result, after receiving Chen Kun's statement, all parties in Hengzhou City no longer made things difficult for Su Yuan, who had just arrived.
Everyone knows who Chen Kun is. He is the person that the Linzhou Chen family is focusing on training.
As for why he did this, people who don't know the inside story are a little confused.
But those who know the shareholder structure behind Datong Chamber of Commerce know it clearly.
Secondly, Su Yuan came this time not only to bring some familiar brothers from the yamen from Huayang County.
With the cooperation of Chen Kun and Wang Dashan, Sun Bohe crammed twenty or thirty descendants of the Sun and Zhang families into the police station in just ten days.
In this way, Su Yuan quickly surpassed the other detective families in the police station and became the second largest force besides the Wang family.
However, it caused some backlash from other small forces and aristocratic families.
But everyone knows that they cannot defeat the Datong Chamber of Commerce behind Su Yuan, and Prince Heng, who has become the de facto overlord of Hengzhou City.
"Boss, look at those people. They seem a little different. They look like they don't want to be approached by strangers."
Su Yuan, who was looking at the crowd entering the city, narrowed his eyes and laughed: "They did say hello and said they were coming to Hengzhou City to escort the transportation."
Wang Fuqiang, who was hanging out with Su Yuan in Huayang, was a little surprised by this: "Whose family are they? They need so many people at once, and they look like they are not easy to mess with."
"The Wang family! Who else could it be besides the Wang family? Maybe this is just the people they have in the open, and I don't know how many they have in private."
Su Yuan, who had basically understood the inside story of Hengzhou, knew that his brother-in-law had become deadlocked with the Wang family of Yangzhou.
If it were in the past, a low-ranking yamen constable like him would have no chance of success, let alone the Wang family.
Even any servant in their family is an awe-inspiring figure.
But now, it is still uncertain who will win.
At least in Hengzhou City, the prince and his brother-in-law have the final say.
He pulled the corner of his mouth and waved his hand: "Let's go, brothers, go over and interrogate----"
Wang Baoguo looked at the detectives in yellow clothes, holding their swords, walking towards him in a domineering manner.
He subconsciously gripped the long sword at his waist, but then relaxed.
Now, he is no longer the second leader of the Black Wind Village, but the second in command of the Changfeng Escort Agency and the number one escort.
"What are you doing? Why are there so many of you holding weapons? Put your weapons aside and accept inspection!"
Wang Baoguo was stunned. Hadn’t he already made arrangements so that he could enter the city smoothly today?
How come something like this suddenly appeared?
Who gave you the courage?
Could it be Fish Leong?
He is a descendant of the Wang family's side branch, although he is seven or eight streets away from the main branch.
However, over the years, he has been willing to stay in hiding and carefully manage Black Wind Pass.
I don’t know how many shady things he did for the Lord, and I don’t know how much money he plundered.
He suppressed his anger, and respectfully took out a letter from his pocket, along with a fifty-liang silver note, and put it under the envelope.
With a fake smile, he replied, "Sir, this is the pass that Hua Ming Lou issued to us. We are escorts from the Da Feng Escort Agency. We are entering the city to escort some goods for Hua Ming Lou."
"Hua Ming Tower."
Su Yuan pretended to be surprised, took the letter and the banknote underneath, and looked at them casually.
Sure enough, in the envelope was a letter of introduction from Hua Ming Lou, as well as seals of various government offices along the way.
In theory, given the background of Wang's Huaminglou, this should be enough.
What's more, there is still fifty taels of silver.
But Su Yuan was not here to collect bribes, he was here to deliberately make things difficult for him.
"People can come in. You all need to show your IDs one by one, but weapons are not allowed into the city!"
After hearing these words, the bandits behind Wang Baoguo were furious.
Everyone started clamoring.
"What are you talking about? If we are escorts and don't carry weapons, can we still be escorts?"
"Are you deliberately making things difficult for us? No one asked us to take off our weapons along the way."
Su Yuan looked at the escort agency of the clamoring Dafeng Escort Agency coldly for a while, feeling a little confused.
These people should be more than just bodyguards.
Although, the bodyguards are also at the center of the storm, begging for a living on the edge of a gun or a knife.
But the murderous aura of these people is much stronger.
Although it's not as murderous as the fighting in the military camp.
But these people must have basically seen blood.
In this world, there are a lot of people killing people and shedding blood. Who else are they besides the soldiers?
His ancestors had made a living in the government office for generations, and he himself had been a constable for more than ten years, although his eyes were not as sophisticated as a fox's.
But you can at least see something.
Thinking about it, he drew out the broadsword from his waist: "What are you doing? Are you going to rebel? My Hengzhou city is now peaceful and prosperous, and no one picks up things on the road. Do I need you to bring knives into the city?"
This made Wang Baoguo a little stunned.
When did such a fool appear?
I have given you a pass and stuffed you with money, but you still want to draw your sword and force me.
If you weren't at the gate of the city, I would have killed you!
"Sir, that's easy to say. Sir, that's easy to say. We are all good citizens, rough men who make a living in the underworld. How could we rebel?"
Wang Baoguo explained in a gentle manner, then turned his head and glared at the people behind him: "Shut up, everyone, and accept the inspection of the official honestly!"
In fact, before the departure of this group of 600 people.
Wang Baoguo has already had various plans.
Especially after hearing that the Sun family suddenly intervened in the government police station, they handled all kinds of information and procedures in an orderly manner with the cooperation of the Wang family.
Moreover, the team of 600 people was divided into seven or eight different identities.
Some sneaked into the city either openly or secretly, some in groups or some scattered.
But he didn't expect that before he entered the city, he was stopped by a constable who might be from the Sun family.
At this moment, Jiang Shiying, one of the three giants of the police station, also rushed over.
He laughed from a distance: "Captain Su, what's wrong? Didn't the higher-ups inform us that Huaminglou needs people to come into the city to escort the transport today?"
"A greeting is a greeting, and an inspection is an inspection."
Su Yuan waited for Jiang Shiying to come closer on horseback, and said coldly to Jiang Shiying, who had been treating him coldly, "Does Captain Jiang want to protect them and bring knives into the city without checking anything?"
As a person who carries a knife, especially the large back-bladed knife that is nearly 1 meter long like the one carried by Wang Baoguo.
It is impossible for an ordinary person to carry it with him.
But firstly, they are bodyguards now, and secondly, they are introduced by Hua Minglou of the Wang family.
Just turn a blind eye.
But if we talk about it out loud, it's obviously not a good idea.
What if these dozens of people, who are armed with knives and don't look like good people, enter the city and something happens?
Who is responsible?
