Great Tang Southern Emperor

Although Yegang looks very prosperous, but as the saying goes, the back of light is black, and the back of endless glory often hides crime and killing. Yegang is such a city, and it is even darker here in Yegang—here is a saying Very famous: 'The day belongs to the government, and the night belongs to crime. 'So that sometimes even the backside can't hide the evil, and even the daytime is often visited by darkness.

This is a paradise for criminals. There are almost hundreds of homicides that occur here every year. Incidents such as robbery and robbery emerge in endlessly. Countless desperadoes gather here, gangsters, black market, bounty hunters, fugitives, pirates People, traffickers, smugglers, etc. abound. These desperadoes bring endless chaos and killings to the city, so that people are killed for various reasons almost every day. The government had to set up a special corpse collection team to deal with the remains of those who died on the street... an absolute city of sin.

According to Datang's public security assessment last year, Yegang ranked first in the ranking of residents—the bottom...

Therefore, although Yegang provides millions of taxes to the imperial court every year, the imperial court has a bad impression of this place, let alone the support policy, and even the imperial court intends to resettle the immigrants elsewhere, but in the end it was rejected. Li Zhen stopped it.

The reason why it is so chaotic here is actually a historical reason - at the beginning, Luzon was a territory developed at the same time as Nanyang, and it was also a place where immigrants immigrated at the same time.But human beings are continental animals after all. Between the huge peninsula of Nanyang and the small archipelago of Luzon, which is isolated overseas, more people still choose Nanyang, so that Luzon's immigration quota has been slow to fill up.

Even if the government uses various methods to promote the goodness of Luzon everywhere, it is short of saying that this place is full of gold. However, most people just want to have a stable life, and a piece of land of their own is enough. As for gold everywhere? It’s not their biggest need—it’s best if they have something, and it’s nothing if they don’t have it. As for making them risk their lives to make money, except for those born adventurers, most people will not accept it unless they are There is no other way.

It is this strange mentality that caused Luzon to fail to recruit even the initial number of immigrants. In the beginning, there were indeed businessmen transporting workers here, but the number was not large, and the workers also grew up after making money. Some of them have gone back. Once when the Luzon Protectorate was officially established, it was even sparsely populated.So the Luzon officials had no choice but to transport a large number of slaves and criminals from the Tang Dynasty. These criminals were rebellious people, and there were even some death row criminals and robbers...

People like this come to Yegang, and what they can bring here is endless chaos besides some anger—not to mention that even the most ordinary workers dare to travel across the ocean to Luzon to make money in this era Yes, which one is not a rebellious generation?Even the most ordinary workers are not easy to deal with. Most of these people have fought against the natives in the jungle. It can be said that among the first people who moved into Luzon, [-]% of them had blood on their hands.

The characteristics of a city are usually determined by the character of the first batch of residents. If most of the people in a city are criminals or people with strong personalities, then it is understandable that this place has become a capital of crime.

Here not only pirates floating around overseas will stop here to sell their goods, even in the mainland, there are a large number of gangs and black markets established, and smugglers even regard this place as a paradise. It is quite normal to eat black here. Even the dead are commonplace, and even the dead here are not reported to the court—in any case, most of the dead are scum, they are the people who deserve to die, and they die, no one cares about them.

Of course, not all places in the entire Coconut Port are filled with endless chaos. In fact, the entire Coconut Port is divided into six areas according to different functions. Because these six areas have different functions, the security environment is also very different.

Area No. [-] is the port and the wharf. This is one of the most chaotic places in the entire Coconut Port. The struggle between gangs at the wharf, robbing territory, robbing resources, robbing younger brothers... For their own profits, all parties are fighting hard. They are also trying to control this place, and the smugglers also want to support their agents here. In short, there is chaos on the pier, and there will be fights in broad daylight. The general residents will not come near this place unless it is necessary.

Area [-] is also close to the port, but it is much safer here, because it is an industrial area and a shipbuilding area, and the people here are all craftsmen and their families. There is trouble here.

Area No. [-] is also near the port. This is the location of the Protectorate’s Mansion and the naval base. People who live here are either soldiers or their families. It is the safest place among all the areas in Yegang.

Area No. [-] is a commercial area, and it is also the largest of all areas, with an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers. There are not only souvenirs, but also commodities from all over the world, including gems from Black Africa. The items are very rich. Even if it is not much worse than Lingnan.However, because the business area is too profitable, all major forces have inserted their manpower here to seize the market. It's just that no one dares to make trouble here because of the strong supervision of the Duhufu and the military.

Area No. 10 is also a commercial area, but unlike Area No. [-], it is a real black market, and it is also the largest black market in the entire Nanyang Islands. It also covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, second only to Area No. [-]. Here There are all kinds of goods, black money, black goods, smuggled goods, human auctions, arms trading, etc., and even the largest auction house here once sold cannons. This is a rare thing. For this cannon, Those black businessmen almost robbed their heads, and they were finally auctioned off at a high price of [-] taels.

Area No. [-] is a slum, a gathering place for poor workers. In fact, none of the people living here are good people, and it is also the most chaotic place in Yegang. Killing people in broad daylight is so common that no one cares about them at all. This is also a gathering place for some dark organizations, such as the lairs of gangsters, branches of hunter organizations, warehouses of smuggling organizations, black dens of weapons factories, etc. Most of them set up their lairs here. It can be said that everyone who lives here is dead. Not a pity.

It's just that although the Protectorate's Office has divided this place into six areas, in the eyes of the people living in Yegang, there are only two areas in Yegang - one is the illegal area and the other is the legal area.

Chapter 18 The Moth—Gold Tooth ([-] words)

Just like in Quanzhou, Li Zhen didn't land at the pier because she didn't want to disturb the people, but directly drove the fleet into the naval base, but even so, she didn't escape the eyes of some people...

"Chen Fang Yiai, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince, but I haven't seen him for several years. Is His Royal Highness still okay?" The army's star of tomorrow, how could the army boss let such a talent go?

But seeing that he had no fight and was unhappy all day long, Li Zhen couldn't bear it. At that time, the chief protector of the Luzon Governor's Mansion was unable to decide for a long time because of the scramble of all parties, so Li Zhen simply recommended Fang Yiai. ——Anyway, with his military achievements, he is worthy of being the general guard.

And because the power of the governor is not as great as that of the governor, only the military power but not the governance power, so no one stood up to oppose it, and gave Fang Xuanling this face, and did not attack him because of this, nor forced him to leave get out of class—although even If they make trouble, it is impossible for Li Shimin to give up Fang Xuanling, his right-hand man.

After all, since Du Ruhui's death, Wei Zheng's health has been poor, and he has been recuperating at home most of the time. Fang Xuanling is now the only person Li Shimin can absolutely trust - although the eldest grandson Wuji fills in in time, Ma Zhou and other young people All the talents came up, but Li Shimin was not very relieved of them. They could be reused, but it was impossible to talk to them.

"Fang Jun, Fang Jun, what nonsense are you talking about?" Fang Yi'ai just got a little emotional, Cheng Chuliang stood up and ruined the atmosphere: "You went back to Lingnan to report to the Prince's Highness last year, and we met each other, so why just count?" Haven't seen you for a year?"

"Hey you little fairy Cheng, what do you mean?" Fang Yiai was not afraid of Cheng Chuliang, and raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "I have seen His Highness, but hasn't His Highness not been to our Luzon for a long time? It’s not wrong—it’s you, we haven’t seen each other for so long, what do you mean by picking on me when you come up? What? Do you want to fight?”

This was exactly what Cheng Chuliang wanted. He took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, "Fight? Okay, come on, I want to compete with you."

"Stop it all, they are all top military officers in Datang, why are you so immature? Why are you still a child? Don't you see what the occasion is now?" Li Zhen pinched the two when they met. The people who were together were a little dumbfounded, although they knew that this was a meeting etiquette for men, but now is not the time for them to do it.

Fang Yiai saw that the fight was unsuccessful: "Hmph, for His Highness's sake, I will spare you this time."

"Fart, I should be the one who said that." Cheng Chuliang didn't give him any face.

"Okay." Li Zhen loudly stopped the two who failed to fight and turned to bickering: "Fang Yiai, you should have received all the previous orders from this palace, right? How are your preparations going?"

"Your Highness, do you really want to do something there?" Fang Yiai asked with some concern: "Although I have obtained enough evidence, it is a whole large area..."

"Don't worry about it, I came here this time to get rid of this cancer." Li Zhen said coldly, but she had already made up her mind to get rid of this cancer parasitic on Datang's body.

"Your Highness, I don't understand, why do you want to do it at this time?" Cheng Chuliang next to him was very difficult to understand: "It is reasonable to say that things are the easiest to solve at the very beginning, but after you found out, not only did you not stop , but still let it develop, now that the general trend has been established, if you do it at this time, the cost will be too high."

"Don't worry about it, I naturally have my own reasons, you just need to follow your own orders." Li Zhen didn't explain too much—yes, his main goal of coming to Luzon this time is actually Eliminate the black market located here.

In fact, as Cheng Chuliang said, the black market in Yegang was discovered by Li Zhen's spies as early as when it was established, but he never cared about it. Not only did he not deal with it, but he also participated in it himself, replacing the imperial court. Part of the equipment was sold on the black market, earning a lot of profit. Now Li Zhen's spokesperson in the black market is already the most famous tycoon in the black market in Yegang.

It's just that although he made a lot of money through the black market, Li Zhen never gave up his plan to destroy the black market. The reason why he didn't do it immediately was because Li Zhen knew that the black market could not be destroyed. Even if he wiped out the black market in Coconut Harbor today, tomorrow there will be a second black market in Borneo. After all, compared with the normal market, the black market makes more money, and those desperadoes don’t even have to die for profit. How could they be afraid of the black market?So this kind of thing is basically banned repeatedly.

Therefore, Li Zhen simply did the opposite, not only did not destroy this place, but slowly cultivated it secretly, turning it into the largest black market in the Nanyang Islands, and then waited for the black market to fully mature to gather all the underworld people. After coming over, wipe it out in one fell swoop—this is like treating a malignant sore. When the malignant sore just broke out, it is not the best time to treat it. Instead, it will be easier to squeeze out all the pus after the malignant sore is completely festered.

……

Arriving at the naval base, just after settling down, Li Zhen called the spokesperson he supported in Luzon.

"Golden Teeth has met Master, but I haven't seen him for several years. Master is all right?" A fat man with a fat body and a mouth full of gold teeth knelt down when he saw Li Zhen, and greeted excitedly.

He is the spokesperson supported by Li Zhen in the black market. No one cares about his name anymore, including himself. He only knows that his code name is Jinya. , he has lived a life of being a master, and now even if the master wants his life, he will admit it - but his real identity is actually a member of the most mysterious organization "Moth" under Li Zhen's command , the real code name is actually 'Poison Moth', and Jinya is just fooling outsiders (As mentioned before about this organization, Zhu Yunrang is the person of 'Moth', code-named 'Pitling Moth', there are not many people in it, but Each of them is a generation of astonishingly talented and brilliant people, and they are all recruited by Li Zhen from the folks, and they are the absolute team that Li Zhen cultivates for her future).

The reason why Jinya claimed to be Li Zhen's dog was another reason - Li Zhen once saved their family's life, and since then he sold his life to Li Zhen, and he was not even willing to claim himself as a subordinate.

"I heard that you are doing well here?" Jin Ya also has a nickname in the black market, it is called Big Ya Jin, people in the Jianghu are called Jin Ye, he is a rare figure in the black market who can get anything. , and this statement is indeed true, with Li Zhen's support behind it, this claim is indeed not an exaggeration - at least that cannon was ordered by Li Zhen to sell, and it was this cannon that made the The reputation of Da Jinya has completely grown, and he has won the respect of all gangsters. At least there are many people who are engaged in the black market, but except for Da Jinya, no one can get a weapon like a cannon.

Hearing Li Zhen's praise, Da Jinya squinted his eyes happily: "Hehehe, it's all thanks to the master, Jinya is pretty good at it."

"Okay, don't be beautiful, did I ask you to get something?" Li Zhen said angrily, this gold tooth does not look like he looks simple, but he has real skills--the fact There is no doubt about the talents of those who can be selected among the moths. If they really want to display their abilities, everyone can at least be a minister, even if they are talented prime ministers. It is not surprising that these talents are the real team that Li Zhen left for herself.To put it bluntly, even if Li Zhen loses in the battle for the throne in the future, as long as he can escape at that time, with the assistance of these people, he can rebuild an empire overseas.

This golden tooth is naturally no exception, otherwise it would be impossible for one person to break through the underground black market known as cannibalism by himself. You must know that apart from some support for some scarce materials, Li Zhen could He didn't give him any help, and the rest of the scenes were all broken by himself, which shows how extraordinary his ability is.

"Your Highness, it's all here." Jin Ya took out a folder and introduced: "This is just a catalog, and the real material Jin Ya has been placed outside. Your Highness can check it at any time. The materials have recorded so many coconuts over the years. I have checked all the information on the black market in Hong Kong, and even the details of both parties to each transaction order, so that His Royal Highness will not catch anyone."

"You have a heart, this watch is very important to this palace." Li Zhen was very moved when he heard the words. It can be said that with this watch, Li Zhen may even wipe out more than [-]% of the criminal organizations in the entire Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop-and this also proves that Jin Ya is terrible, he has penetrated the entire black market to such an extent by himself, not only the investigation of all the people and forces in the black market, but also the merchants who do business with the black market. It can be said that if Li Zhen really follows the If this list arrests people, then there will be at least tens of thousands of people sentenced to death for betrayal...

Even Li Zhen did not dare to make a decision on such an important matter, he had to go back and discuss it with Li Shimin—of course, this black market must be resolved, and now this black market has become a cancer attached to Datang. Every year because of this black market, Datang loses at least one million taels of tax in tax.It's just that this time, Li Zhen only intends to catch people in the black market. As for those black market customers who are wandering outside, let's deal with it slowly, and one day they will be able to completely eliminate them.

Chapter 1072 The news leaked

Chapter 19 news leaked

"However, if you do this, you will offend the entire Nanyang and even the entire underworld of the Tang Dynasty. Are you not afraid of their retaliation afterwards?" Li Zhen looked at Jin Ya, and to be honest, it was just a black market. The plan to use 'moths' - after all, the moths themselves have the meaning of moths to the fire, as long as they are used once, they will be exposed, so every moth is worth a lot, it's just a black market, not worth Li Zhen's spending Such a big price.

It's just that Jin Ya happened to be placed in a certain organization by Li Zhen at that time, and after the Yegang black market appeared, his organization also got involved in it, and he became the earliest leader of the Yegang black market by accident. A group of entrants, while making money for the organization, is also to climb up. On the one hand, they are also accumulating their own reputation in the black market, and eventually become very important decision makers for both the organization and the black market.

When Jin Ya heard it, he immediately said with a righteous face: "For the sake of the master, so what if you die?"

"I didn't let you die. You can't expose it now. You can find a way to escape this disaster." Jin Ya is not only a big boss in the black market, but also a high-level executive of a certain organization. The protagonist Li Zhen asked Jin Ya to follow, as for the black market, it was purely a surprise.

"I don't know when His Highness is going to do it?"

"Fast one or two days, slow three to five days."
