Chapter 331: When I first arrived, I left a little bit of Feihong (1)
There are only five counties in the name of the Black Domain, but in fact, the area here is even more than two counties or even three counties in other places. No wonder the Three Kingdoms have always regarded this place as a pity, no matter how careless it is, it is not allowed to be annexed by the other two countries.
However, it was precisely because the three kingdoms' courts were concerned about each other that they did not manage this place very much, which led to almost all becoming the capital of sin. It can be said that the most chaotic place Gu Qingci had ever seen. The first one he and Gu Qingci arrived at the Black Region Zhuo County. It took several days to come from Zhuo County to Shuye County in the middle of the Black Region, which is also the county where Baidi City, the center of the Black Region.
The geographical location division of the Black Domain is still regular. The four counties surrounded the Shuye County in the middle. In the past, when the imperial court sent people to take over, the imperial envoys lived in Baidi City, Shuye County, which could control the four counties. However, this was just a form and had never been managed at all.
Along the way, Gu Qingci and Nie Changliu saw the bloody storm caused by gangs competing for territory several times, and also saw the lives of some thieves in the wild, and encountered several waves of bandits intercepting the story. What made Gu Qingci sigh the most was that the people here really lived without dignity, and in this place, human lives were really worthless.
Gu Qingci didn't care much about it. Except for the two provoking him, Nie Changliu killed some people, he always looked like a passerby, watching Yunqi, and his mentality gradually became a little cold. He should be tortured in troubled times!
However, along the way, Gu Qingci had almost the same shape as the black domain. There were many gangs, and even dozens of people formed together, which reminded Gu Qingci of the scene when he was in Changling County. There were also many so-called gangs in that place.
There are also large gangs with thousands of people who control some trade routes and commercial streets. However, what really made Gu Qingci care about is that there are really few families in the black domain, but these families are extremely powerful. They are almost in the black domain as a transcendent identity, firmly controlling the interests in their hands.
There are several sects similar to the aristocratic families, which also control a considerable force. In this place, these aristocratic families and some large gangs are the real masters. These forces are much more useful than the court's words.
Within a sphere of influence, the people here may not know who the emperor of the Three Kingdoms are, but they will definitely not know who the head of the control force is.
I just entered a city called Liang County in Suiye County. The sky suddenly became dark clouds and it started to rain heavily in less than a quarter of an hour. Fortunately, there were many inns in the city. Gu Qingci and Nie Changliu found an inn nearby.
A waiter came out to lead the two of them. As soon as he walked under the eaves of the inn, a scream suddenly came from the street. Gu Qingci and Nie Changliu quickly turned their heads and saw a big pork man selling pork on the street not far away holding a pig-killing knife and stabbed a weak young man in the chest. After a scream, the young man fell to the ground.
There were many people passing by, no one stood up and said a word, no one stopped to take a look, they all hurriedly left, and some people hiding from the rain even pointed at the corpse and started to discuss. The pig-killer wiped the pig-killing knife as if nothing had happened, kicked the corpse away, and continued to close the stall.
Although such things are not everywhere, after Gu Qingci and Nie Changliu arrived in the Black Domain, they saw several incidents in just a few days. At the beginning, Gu Qingci took action to stop him, but gradually, he ignored it. It was not that he was hard-hearted, but that he knew that the symptoms were not the root cause. He might have seen this young man being killed. It was not that the young man killed the butcher's relatives yesterday.
It was raining outside the window. Gu Qingci couldn't eat it after only a few bites of vegetables. Nie Changliu had a good meal. He knew that Gu Qingci was in a bad mood. He was a famous proud scholar who had been studying the books of sages for so many years and arrived in the Black Domain. Even if he was prepared in advance, he could not be calm. However, he did not persuade Gu Qingci to eat it for a few bites. Although a great practitioner could not do fasting, he would not have any effect on not eating for three or seven days.
After dinner, Nie Changliu put down his chopsticks and said, "Why, do you feel helpless? This place is too messy? You have just arrived now and can't adapt to it for a while, but it doesn't matter..."
"No," Gu Qingci waved his hand and said, "I'm just thinking that starting from that group of people, this place can only stop killing!"
"Uh..." Nie Changliu was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I'm thinking too much. I forgot that you came from Changling County. I don't know how much blood was stained on your hands. It's strange that you were so crazy in Changling County, but how did you become an unparalleled young man? That kind of change in your temperament was so great."
Gu Qingci smiled and said, "Time is also fate. Different times and different opponents have to use different methods. It doesn't work if you just kill people, but it doesn't work if you just talk about reasoning. Adapting to local conditions is the best strategy!"
Nie Changliu seemed to understand and said, "Anyway, I will do whatever you say!"
There is a corner opposite Gu Qingci, where two little girls are playing the erhu and singing a small song. Their voice is a bit sad, which complements the continuous rain. Gu Qingci is quite interested in listening. He doesn't know how to erhu, but he can play the piano. As the saying goes, one way is understandable, and he naturally can appreciate the erhu.
"Bang!"
The sound of slapping the table ruined the atmosphere. A fierce man suddenly stood up and said angrily: "What a shitty thing to sing, sing me a song about Eighteen Touch!"
As soon as the big man opened his mouth, the few people at his deskmate began to cheer and started shouting.
Gu Qingci glanced at the big man, frowned, and was quite irritable. He liked to be more simplistic.
Nie Changliu knew that Gu Qingci was in a bad mood. When he saw Gu Qingci's expression, he said, "Do you want to rush them out?"
"Forget it," Gu Qingci shook his head and said, "Go upstairs and take a rest first, and leave early tomorrow."
