Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 214 Behemoth - Cao Gang

"Ugh..."

Huang Chong, who was practicing in the courtyard, suddenly paused, his mouth was tightly closed, his cheeks bulged, trying to prevent the last thing from flowing out, but a trace of blood still flowed from the corner of his mouth, Huang Chong raised his head slightly, and made a difficult Swallowing, his face was pale, and he took the initiative to take seven or eight steps back, holding the wooden frame beside him, closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths to calm down the true energy surging in his meridians.

"Huh..." He let out a foul breath, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, opened his mouth and took a few breaths, trying to clear away the bloody smell left in his mouth.

"The martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect really deserve their reputation. If you don't have enough internal strength to practice forcefully, it will be harmful and useless." Huang Chong said to himself.

Just now Huang Chong tried to practice the top martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect - Tianshan Zhemei Shou. Tianshan Zhemei Shou is different from other martial arts. Even the tricks need a strong internal force to support them. What is done will be backlashed instead.

In "Dragon and Babu", there are very few people who can practice the advanced martial arts of the Xiaoyao School. Even a master like Murong Fu can't meet the requirements. It is conceivable that the threshold for his cultivation is high.

Huang Chong thought that what he was cultivating was innate true qi, and with Xu Zhu's experience, it shouldn't be a problem after a little practice, but he turned into what he is now. Fortunately, Huang Chong was cultivating innate true qi. Warrior, if there is no external help, I am afraid that he would have exploded and died long ago.

"Forget it, I'd better practice internal strength. Internal strength is the foundation." Huang Chong sighed, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​practicing the exquisite martial arts of the Xiaoyao School. It's like seeing delicious food for an old gourmet, and you really can't bear to miss it, especially after seeing the exquisite martial arts of Yang Sanshi and Huafeng.

"Five... Ha... Fifth Young Master..." Ah San's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Looking at Ah San who was out of breath, Huang Chong asked, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Ah San can be arranged by Huang Youde to take care of his daily life. Naturally, he is not a frizzy person. Huang Chong It was the first time seeing Ah San like this, so something big must have happened.

Ah San propped her hands on her knees, panting and said, "Big, big, young master He, and third young master Hurry up, it's about to die, master please go...go over."

"What!" Huang Chong was startled when he heard the words, and immediately came to Ah San, stretched out his hand to grab Ah San's shoulder, and asked eagerly, "What's going on?"

Ah San was also taken aback. Why did the fifth young master suddenly come in front of her, but now is not the time to care about these things, Ah San said: "The two young masters were severely injured. The master immediately asked the young master to go to the main hall immediately."

"what happened?"

"Fifth Young Master, let's talk as we walk." As San said, he took Huang Chong's hand, turned around and ran outside, Huang Chong originally wanted to use lightness kung fu, but after a second thought, he stopped this idea and ran faster. In front of Ah San, Huang Chong dragged Ah San to the main hall.

Because he ran too fast, Ah San couldn't speak at all, and naturally he couldn't explain anything to Huang Chong. He could only be dragged by Huang Chong and ran all the way to the main hall. On the ground, he stood outside the hall with staring eyes, swaying body, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his stomach, not daring to vomit.

"My son has met his father and his mother." Huang Chong looked anxious when he saw Huang Youde, Huang's mother, and his sisters-in-law and nephews.

"You're here." Seeing Huang Chong's dusty appearance, Huang Youde just nodded without saying anything. He looked towards the inner hall with anxiety in his eyes. Now Huang Shiren and Huang Shili are receiving treatment from the doctor in the inner hall because they are worried about disturbing the doctor For diagnosis and treatment, they can only wait outside.

"Chong'er, come and have some tea, take it easy." Huang's mother handed a cup of tea to Huang Chong, her eyes were full of distress, after Huang Chong took the tea, she stretched out her hand to help Huang Chong tidy up his clothes, and blamed him : "You, why are you running in such a hurry."

Huang Chong put down the tea, patted his chest, and said, "Mother, I'm fine, I'm in good health! What's going on here, how did the eldest brother and third brother get hurt?"

Mother Huang didn't say anything, the love in her eyes turned into anger, and she glared at Huang Youde. Obviously, the matter had something to do with Huang Youde.

"It's Cao Gang."

"Cao Gang?" Huang Chong was taken aback, how could he have anything to do with Cao Gang.

The Cao Gang is a powerful force, no matter which plane it is in. Maybe many people in the 21st century don't know the Cao Gang, but the other name of the Cao Gang is probably familiar to many people--Qing Gang. After the Cao Gang goes ashore in the future, it will be The Green Gang that stirred up the situation during the Republic of China.

The Cao Gang, as the name suggests, is a quack gang formed by "Water Transport". In fact, it is wrong to say that the Cao Gang is a pure Jianghu gang, because in this plane, the Cao Gang has now been recognized by the imperial court.

The Cao Gang has existed since ancient times, but it really started to develop in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the power of the Cao Gang gradually expanded.

The main members of the Cao Gang are the boatmen, because the boatmen are hereditary. Over time, in order to protect their own vested interests, they formed an organization with the family as the link. Later, the organization continued to expand, and there was the current Cao Gang. Now the Cao Gang is almost monopolized It is an organization several times larger than the beggar gang.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had inhumanely cleaned up the Cao Gang, but if the water transportation continued, there must be boatmen, so it didn’t take long for the Cao Gang to revive. Later, Zhu Di rebelled, and the Cao Gang played a vital role in it. In the end, the inside and the outside should cooperate to open the gate of Nanjing and let Zhu Di's army enter the city.

After Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, he needed to transport all kinds of things from the south to the north, and he couldn't do without the Grand Canal, which made the Cao Gang even more powerful. So Zhu Di simply recognized the legitimacy of the Cao Gang and collected certain taxes. One of the important financial sources of the Ming Dynasty.

The real strength of the Cao Gang is that this gang is like a joint-stock company, not only the emperor and the government, but many sects in the world are closely related to the Cao Gang. For example, the current leader of the Cao Gang is a lay disciple of Shaolin. Known as "Hengjiang Tiesuo" Duan Tianjian, a few years ago he had a duel with the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong, and broke the ancient Santong's unfinished Vajra Invincible magic skill, which made him famous and became the leader of the Cao Gang in one fell swoop.

The Cao Gang provides "dividends" for these Jianghu sects, and the Jianghu sect provides shelter for the Cao Gang. On the other hand, the Cao Gang will also help the major sects to do things that cannot be put on the surface. The two parties are a win-win cooperation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Cao Gang is the largest interest group in this plane. Although Duan Tianjian became the leader of the gang, the Cao Gang has a tendency to decline, but the behemoth is still a behemoth.

How could the Huang family get into trouble with this terrifying existence?
Huang Chong estimated that it should be because of business reasons. Huang Youde and Huang Shiren wanted to expand the Huang family's business and sell the Huang family's Song brocade to the south. When they failed to agree, a conflict broke out.
