Chapter 51 All Powers
"This is Yiyuantang's Buyuan Pill!" Zheng Xinghan naturally recognized the packaging, and couldn't help being surprised when he saw it.

"Brother has good eyesight." Qin Ziling smiled.

"What good eyesight, if I don't even know Bu Yuan Dan, I've practiced martial arts for so many years." Zheng Xinghan said with a smile, then pushed the wooden box back and said: "Zi Ling, what do you want?" I took it, you put away this Bu Yuan Pill, you need it more than I do."

"Senior brother, you have to take care of your heart, and you have to accept the gift!" Qin Ziling pushed it away again, and said firmly.

Zheng Xinghan looked at Qin Ziling intently, then suddenly smiled brightly: "Since you are so caring, then I will accept it, thank you Ziling."

"Brother, you are being polite, as it should be." Qin Ziling replied with a smile.

Zheng Xinghan didn't say anything more, he just reached out and patted Qin Ziling's shoulder, feeling sorry for him in his heart.

What a good junior brother, it's a pity that the basic qualifications are not good!
The carriage quickly passed through the western outer city and arrived at the inner city.

The inner city is located in the encirclement of the outer city, but is separated from the outer city area by a moat and tall walls.

The inner city area is much smaller than the outer city area, but it is much more prosperous. There is a lot of traffic and crowds, stone bridges and tile houses are lined up, and the facades of every household are decorated with wooden carvings. The shops are decorated with lights and festoons. People come in and out. The taste of the bustling area.

From time to time on the street, you can see awe-inspiring patrolmen in armor, with swords hanging from their waists, patrolling back and forth, giving people a sense of safety and order.

The clothes and mental outlook of people passing by on the streets are much better than those in the outer city, and there are almost no scenes of begging, rampant market domination, and fighting.

However, in the outer city, mixed snakes and dragons, burglars and robberies, various small gangs rampantly dominating the market, bullying and blackmailing the weak, fighting with each other, etc. are not uncommon.

This is also the reason why in the outer city, many businesses have to find one or two "masters" to name them.

Sitting in the carriage with Zheng Xinghan, Qin Ziling rolled up the curtain and looked at the bustling scene outside. Thinking of the chaos and dilapidation in the outer city, as well as the refugees outside the city and the corpses on the roadside, Qin Ziling couldn't help feeling secretly, no matter where All over the world, there are rich areas and poor areas, and there are scenes of drunkenness, dreams, feasting, and roads with frozen bones.

"Is this inner city bustling and lively?" Zheng Xinghan asked with a smile.

"There are two worlds with the outer city and the outer city!" Qin Ziling put down the car curtain and said with emotion.

"This is the real center of wealth and power in Fangli City! Don't look at Zuo Shi as a powerful martial artist. He is famous in our western outer city, even the entire outer city, but he can't reach in at all in this inner city. If you want to get in, you need the nods of the five major families." Zheng Xinghan said with a serious expression.

"Five major families?" Qin Ziling showed a questioning look on his face.

"Pang, Yu, Lin, Xiao, and Lu are five major families. Among them, the Pang family is a branch of the Pang family, a prominent family in Zhoucheng. The families are all wealthy local families in Fangqiang City, among the four, the Yu and Lin families are the strongest, while the Xiao and Lu families are relatively inferior."

"In fact, the Lin and Lu families only joined the five major families in recent years. Before that, although they were powerful, they were not qualified to be on an equal footing with the Pang, Yu, and Xiao families. It is rumored that the Pang family moved into Fangqiang City , Pang Qiwei served as the governor of the county. After he took charge of the county, he felt that the local power was too strong and difficult to control, so he supported the local Lin family. Seeing this, the Yu and Xiao families intended to support the Lu family, which is Lu Taiqiang's family , and this led to the rise of the Lin and Lu families." Zheng Xinghan explained.

"It seems that the inner city is full of singing, dancing and prosperity on the surface, but in fact, various forces are wrestling behind the scenes!" Qin Ziling said with deep emotion.

"No, but this is not something people at our level can think about and intervene." Zheng Xinghan shook his head, and then said: "Since it is convenient, I will tell you that apart from the five major families in the inner city, What forces are there in the outer city and outside the city?"

"Speaking of, the outer city is still under the control of the five major families in the inner city, but the control is not as strong as the inner city, so the outer city is mixed with snakes and dragons, and all forces stand side by side, which is why our boxing academy has grown. Space. But the outer city is still within the scope of Fangli City after all, and the five major families will never allow forces beyond their control to exist."

"So in the outer city, the forces of all parties are basically at the same level as our Cold Iron Fist Academy. Even if they are stronger than our Cold Iron Fist Academy, they are limited."

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!" Qin Ziling interjected calmly.

Zheng Xinghan was slightly startled when he heard the words, then lowered his head and chewed on the words carefully, after a while, he raised his head and gave Qin Ziling a thumbs up: "How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch! Ziling, your analysis is too vivid Deep!"

Qin Ziling smiled disapprovingly.

Just kidding, this sentence is a famous saying that has been passed down for a long time in his world, so it is naturally impressive!
"But it's different outside the city! Although the power of the five major families is strong, it is not enough to cover all parts of Fangli County, and many forces outside the city build castles in danger, and some even simply build cottages in the mountains, which are often easy to defend but difficult to defend. Attack. Although the five major families are capable of destroying them together, they will definitely not be able to avoid heavy casualties."

"Nowadays, the emperor is getting old, powerful ministers and eunuchs are in power, and there are many natural disasters. The people in many places are in dire straits, and many places have rebelled and become kings. Now, only mercenaries have the qualifications to respect themselves, so the five major families cherish their wings very much, as long as the forces outside the city can't threaten them, they will not easily use troops."

"This also gave the forces outside the city an opportunity to develop. Now there are many forces outside the city. Among them, the five forces that have the greatest influence are Zhouzhuang, Senluo Gang, Xujiabao, Juhumen, and Xueyunzhai. .”

"You have to remember, whether it's the five major families or the five forces outside the city, none of them can be provoked by our Hantie Zhangyuan. When you do things outside, try to avoid them as much as possible, otherwise you will be killed, Master Zuo There is no way to get ahead." Having said this, Zheng Xinghan's face became extremely dignified.

"Thank you, brother, for letting me know. I will pay attention." Qin Ziling nodded calmly.

While speaking, the carriage stopped in front of Zuixiaolou.

Zuixiao Tower is three floors high, and the decoration is very quaint. There are melodious piano sounds coming from the building. The service staff inside are all dressed in uniform and fitting clothes. The men are handsome and handsome, and the women are tall and beautiful.
