"What are you thinking?"

Seeing that Ding Ning seemed to be in a daze, Wang Taixu said calmly, "Do you have some doubts about what I said?"

"Nothing." Ding Ning shook his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Does the business in the fish market have anything to do with your two-story building or Jinlin Tang?"

Wang Taixu was slightly taken aback, he didn't understand why Ding Ning suddenly mentioned the matter of the fish market, but he still replied seriously: "No, it's a real upper-level business, and lower-level people like us can't do that kind of business. Big River’s business.”

Ding Ning glanced at Wang Taixu contemptuously, and said, "The person who accounts for most of the casino and flower house business in the legend is still a low-level person?"

Wang Taixu shook his head, "Where is it so exaggerated, at most it accounts for a few percent of the business, and the upper and lower classes we talk about are only related to the business objects. The business in the fish market involves big sects, temple figures, and big rebels. It is dangerous for us to pester any of those people. , at any time there is a business that crosses the river. It has something to do with choice and background, and it has nothing to do with whether you have money in your hands or whether you have a few powerful practitioners."

"Dragon has its way, and snake has its way. Flood dragons are born with dragons. Even if snakes turn into dragons, they didn't have so much accumulation before, and they didn't mix in the pool of dragons. This is the so-called foundation, so in Changlong The children of nobles like mausoleums can’t play with the ordinary children of the market.” Ding Ning pondered: “From what you say, those who are qualified to do that kind of business must be at least those who come from a high-level background. .”

Wang Taixu said patiently: "Those who can get on line with the big sects and temple figures are naturally not ordinary people. All the other gangs in Changling dare not intervene in the business in the fish market, nor do they dare to inquire more about it. The rules of the fish market are set by 'Miss Shang', I only know that she is a woman, I only know that she must be extraordinary, what is her background, how did she come to this point, but I don't know at all."

"It's good that Jinlin Tang has nothing to do with the fish market." Ding Ning said calmly.

"It seems that you may indeed be able to help me." Wang Taixu would have misunderstood, he thought that Ding Ning had taken into account all possible related factors such as the fish market, and some strange lights ignited in his eyes , Shen Sheng said: "Jinlin Tang's main business is actually some caravan and dart business. In addition, there are also some water transport businesses related to the military. It is reasonable for them to be unable to compete with them in terms of financial resources or foundation. We compare the two floors, and maybe you don’t understand... Although there are no laws and regulations in the business of Jianghu, there are many customary rules. Many of their actions this time did not follow the rules. We are in Changsha Ling has gotten along well with other gangs for so many years, so we checked and checked, and after thinking about it, we thought that there were only two possibilities."

Ding Ning raised his brows slightly, signaling to Wang Taixu that he can continue talking.

"One of them may be that a dragon crossing the river suddenly came, and there was a very powerful practitioner in Jinlin Tangli. There are many such examples. The reason for the battle at the Fengshui Wharf in the north of the city was because of the large number of people in the Feiyutang. I bought a few fellow countrymen, and there happened to be one named Feng among those fellow countrymen, who was a very strong practitioner, but he hadn't had time to become famous in the small place. In the end, Xinglinpu, who competed with Feiyutang, was killed Chilled."

Wang Taixu coughed a few times, and waited until his breathing was even again, before he said: "Since there was such an example first, I thought of a way to deliberately give them a chance to assassinate me."

"So you have become like this." Ding Ning smiled slightly, and said, "This is indeed a good way... The battle between Jianghu gangs and the battle between practitioners is different. If you want to kill some single powerful practitioners, there are many ways to kill them." For example, the crossbow machine arrow array, such as poison traps, such as the assassination of old and weak women and children. Now you are only empty, but you are still alive, so what answer did you get from this temptation?"

"Except for some practitioners that we have already prepared, there is no one who looks like a dragon crossing the river that I was worried about." Wang Taixu frowned deeply again, "So we feel that only Another possibility is that there are some figures in the temple who have taken a fancy to our business."

"It's very possible. After all, according to what you said, Jinlintang's business itself is related to water transportation." Ding Ning frowned slightly, "In this case, it's not too bad, and we can fight for it."

"I want to hear your opinion." Wang Taixu was not surprised, he looked at Ding Ning calmly and said.

"In the entire Changling, the only people who don't need to consider His Majesty's thoughts are Li Xiang and Yan Xiang. But they should have no time to grab such a piece of meat, and according to the stories about the two of them... they will do it, or suddenly All of you have been ransacked, or they will send someone to do it slowly." Ding Ning looked up at him and said seriously: "As for the other dignitaries, they must take these two prime ministers and the emperor into consideration. Your Majesty's thoughts. Therefore, the cultivators in the court are all His Majesty's property in the final analysis. It has always been taboo to use the power and practitioners in the court to seek their own benefits. Especially the people in the market are also the people of the Great Qin Dynasty , using the forces in the court, practitioners belonging to His Majesty's private property to charge and kill, if one of them is lost, these dignitaries are likely to be unable to bear such a crime. So if there are only some nobles in the court who are attracted to It's not a particularly bad thing if you lose this piece of meat, you can still fight for it. They have limited power to do things, and their hands are tied."

"As expected, I saw you right." Wang Taixu's eyes became brighter and brighter, "What else do you need to know now?"

Ding Ning asked: "I want to know the temptation that made you become like this, what price did you make Jinlintang pay, and what is Jinlintang doing now, what is it that makes you feel incomprehensible?"

"They left a total of fifty-three corpses, including six practitioners. Among the three, Jin, Lin, and Tang, only Tang Que did not show up. Both Xu Jin and Lin Qingdie were killed by us."

"It turns out that Jinlin Tang is the name of three people put together?"

"Three brothers with different surnames came out from a small place in the northern countryside to fight together. There is no practitioner stronger than them in Jinlin Tang. When I was assassinated, there was no stronger practitioner than them."

Ding Ning listened carefully to the things in the lower-level world that he usually had no access to or understood, and then he asked: "What are the cultivation levels of Xu Jin and Lin Qingdie who were killed by you? What cultivation base?"

Wang Taixu said: "Xu Jin is the top grade of the fourth realm, and Lin Qingdie has already reached the bottom grade of the fifth realm. As for Tang Que, it should be the top grade of the fourth realm."

"Can you confirm Tang Que's cultivation level, there is no accident?" Ding Ning said.

Wang Taixu shook his head with great certainty, "It is certain that the reason why he is not here is because he is not in Changling, and he can't make it for a while. It's not like you think, he is breaking the state or his status is much higher than the other two. people."

Ding Ning nodded, "How about your losses?"

Wang Taixu glanced at him, "We don't have much loss."

Ding Ning said, "Then what will they do next?"

"Tang Que actually said that Fatty Zhang from Thunder Yutang would come to negotiate with us." Wang Taixu took a deep breath and said, "This is what I don't understand the most now. Because if it was me, either It is to escape from Changling with the rest of the people, or to counterattack again and ask for some power that we don't know. However, although Lei Yutang is not quite right with us and wants to get some business from us, but usually They are very polite. Besides, the place of negotiation is also in our territory, and we have strict requirements for the people they come to. As long as they don’t meet our requirements, I won’t show up at all.”

Ding Ning was silent for a few breaths, and then said: "Don't talk about the weather, at least the people and you all have it. Please ask another important tycoon to make peace. It looks like you are begging for your favor. Don't mean to kill them all. Then, do they have any special requirements for you people present?"

Wang Taixu shook his head, "No."

Ding Ning laughed, "It doesn't matter if you take more people with you?"

Wang Taixu looked at him, "Since it's in our territory, the place for negotiation is naturally arranged by us."

"This is where the problem lies."

Ding Ning looked at him seriously, and said calmly, "I think I know why."
