I am farming and growing flowers in the ancient martial arts world

Chapter 204 The Dark Horse
On the 17th day after entering Beizhou, Zhen Xiaomei and the others came to the city of Beizhou.

Beizhou State City is located in the east-central part of Beizhou, and it is the only place in Beizhou managed by the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

As an alliance-style gang composed of several small families, the Dragon Tiger Gang has six resident elders and several named elders in addition to one gang leader.

The nominal elders are basically the patriarchs of those warrior families in Beizhou, and the resident elders are from the six most powerful warrior families in Beizhou.

Although their status in the gang is not as high as that of the gang leader, they are respectively in charge of the real power departments and important industries in the gang, and their influence in Beizhou can be said to be comparable to that of the gang leader.

In this way, Zhen Xiaomei's investigation target can no longer be limited to the leader of the mascot-like leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

After they learned about the power distribution in Beizhou on the spot, Zhen Xiaomei immediately ruled out those small and micro martial artist families entrenched in various villages and towns.

The reason for excluding them is also very simple - if they can raise [-] high-level warriors as dead soldiers, they don't need to live in towns or even villages.

Isn't it good to occupy a county seat, or even directly occupy the state capital of Beizhou?
Excluding these people, the remaining warrior families are very limited.

Apart from the aforementioned warrior families of the six resident elders of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, Zhen Xiaomei and the others only found two other slightly suspicious warrior families in the huge Northern State.

Based on the principle of investigation from easy to difficult, Zhen Xiaomei and the others immediately investigated the two martial artist families who have been doing well recently.

As Zhen Xiaomei expected, these two warrior families do have ambitions, but their ambitions are without exception, only limited to the one-third-acre land in the city of Beizhou.

This kind of "ambition" that is down-to-earth and not too high-spirited obviously does not affect the city of Dongzhou, which is very far away from Beizhou.

What Zhen Xiaomei and the others are looking for is someone who has ambitions for external development.

However, to their disappointment, in their follow-up investigations of the other six families, they still failed to find out that any of them raised dead men, or had other plans for other places outside Beizhou.

The investigation came to a dead end, Zhen Xiaomei flipped through the information booklet in her hand, knocked on the table under the dim light and said to herself, "The only thing we have found that is relatively strange after the investigation so far is probably the number of The former leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang died suddenly."

The former head of the Dragon and Tiger Gang was from the Qin family, one of the six major martial artist families in Beizhou. In the 19 years since he took office as a helper, both the Dragon and Tiger Gang and Beizhou have been slowly but firmly developing in a good direction. .

He did not vigorously promote his own family, nor did he deliberately suppress the others. Instead, he carefully maintained the delicate balance between the various forces in Beizhou on the basis of being as fair and fair as possible.

Although such a person who cannot be said to be a man of great talent and great talent, but is absolutely shrewd and capable, he should not be underestimated, unexpectedly, the day before Zhen Xiaomei and the others attacked Yijianmen, he died without warning and without a sound. In the ancient ancestral hall where the Dragon and Tiger Gang enshrines the past dynasties.

No one knows why he quietly ran to the ancestral hall on such an ordinary day, and no one knows who he met there, what he did there, and no one knows who he is and how he used it. The method used to take his life without alarming anyone.

After his death, including the family to which he belonged, all the prominent families in Beizhou tacitly began to fight openly and secretly for the position of gang leader.

Only a very small number of his close people tried to find out the truth of his death, but they were weak and could not do much after all.

Before they could find out what was going on, the new gang leader was beyond everyone's expectations and took the position of gang leader with an unusually strong posture.

Speaking of this new leader, although he is also from one of the six major families in Beizhou, his family did not do anything for him in the process of fighting for the position of leader.

Originally, the family he belonged to was planning to push another member of their clan to take the position, but unexpectedly, the new leader cut him off halfway, relying on the powerful foreign aid he got from nowhere, he insisted on stepping on the six candidates of the six major families. , in the process of the competition, he won with a crushing force, and finally became the new leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang.

When the results came out, all the warriors of the six major families were stunned. They never imagined that the position of the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Clan would fall into the hands of such a warrior who was not favored by them at all.

The people of the six major families couldn't figure it out, but they couldn't break the rules on the bright side, so they could only pinch their noses to recognize the new leader who suddenly jumped out to grab the cake.

But it's one thing to admit it, but it's another thing to take precautions, investigate, and hold back.

Especially the clansmen of this new gang leader, considering that the fighters who helped this new gang leader win the position of gang leader, without exception, are all unfamiliar faces they have never seen before, let them have doubts about this new gang leader The child climbed to the highest peak.

There are so many high-level fighters, with the strength and financial resources of the new gang leader, let alone train them himself, even if they are only temporarily hired for a month or two, he can't afford the cost of hiring them.

And he has been living under the eyes of everyone in the clan. His clan members can be said to be very clear about what kind of interpersonal network he has.

He doesn't have enough strength and financial resources to support and hire people, and he doesn't have friends who can generously lend him so many high-level warriors, so what kind of price did he pay for these high-level warriors to be thugs?
Judging from the fact that he and the candidates of the six major families competed for the position of leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, the person behind the scenes who "generously" lent him a large number of high-level warriors obviously has a picture that cannot be said to be small.

As an alliance-style gang composed of several small families, who have experienced countless temptations, temptations, and provocations from the outside world, the leaders of the Dragon Tiger Gang have always been very wary of sects and families in other states.

What they taboo most is that sects and families from other states meddle in the affairs of Beizhou. At the same time, they have very rich experience in fighting against foreign forces. It can be said that they are more familiar with those people's routines than they themselves.

The sudden rise of the new leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, and his various deeds after assuming the position of leader, seemed to them a story that was not much different from the previous ones, which made them feel familiar.

Although there is nothing new in this story, and the methods and routines are full of familiarity, they still found the other five families in the first place and worked with them to find a solution.
