Ghost Fan Tower.
Fan Tower is the most famous entertainment venue in Tokyo, also known as Baifan Tower. It has three floors facing each other and five floors facing each other. Each has a flying bridge and sills, connecting light and dark, bead curtains embroidered on the forehead, and candles shining brightly.
It is said that there are 72 main stores and 3,000 foot shops in Tokyo. This Fan Building is known as the number one main store. It can accommodate thousands of people, where they can eat, drink, and sleep in flowers and willows, regardless of whether they are officials or officials. Young people and rich people all like to go there to have fun. Old guests from out of town come to the capital. If they don't visit Fan Tower, they have not seen the world.
The fan building on the ground in Tokyo is the main store, but the ghost fan building below the ground is the most hiding place for filth and evil. Many of the ugliness and ugliness in prosperous Tokyo are hidden here.
The reason is probably that the water system in Tokyo is developed and the underground ditches are very deep and wide. Many criminals hide in them, steal and plunder, and even steal women and children. Over time, the people call them ghost buildings.
At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, troops were sent to encircle and suppress the country many times, but because the people could be killed but the ditches were always there, they were never able to completely eliminate this scourge.
And these ditches cannot be blocked. Kaifeng Mansion is located below the Yellow River, and flooding of the Yellow River is almost normal. In summer, nearby rivers and large rivers begin to rise and pour into the city. Without these underground channels for flood discharge and drainage, Tokyo City would have been flooded long ago. submerged.
Later, as Tokyo became more and more prosperous, the movement of annihilation became smaller and smaller. Most of them did not send troops, but the government just dealt with it perfunctorily.
As vast as the capital city is, the underground Guifan Tower is as large as it is, extending in all directions, like an underground city.
Those extremely vicious people, based in Guifanlou, specialize in illegal activities. They take advantage of the New Year to abduct children in the streets and alleys, commonly known as "shooting flowers". The lost family members are naturally anxious to find them, but as long as they sneak into underground channels with their children, Even if the child is gone, even if the family goes to the government to report the crime, the government officials will not be able to find the real lair of these villains.
From then on, the children grew up in Guifan Tower and accepted the teachings of the "predecessors", and their personalities were distorted. Boys became beggars or thieves when they were young, and when they grew up, they became the new batch of generals in Guifan Tower. The fate of girls was even more miserable. They were sold to the brothels above, and the disobedient ones were kept underground, which was also like selling flesh and blood.
The sentences for human trafficking in this dynasty were very severe. According to the "Song Xingtong", those who were sold as slaves would be hanged; those who were sold as slaves would be exiled for three thousand miles; those who were sold as wives, concubines or descendants would be detained for three years; those who were killed or injured as a result , the same as the robber law; and the seducer, each reduced by one level.
Selling means kidnapping by violent means, and luring means deceiving and luring. The methods are relatively mild, so the sentence is reduced by one level for each. But if it is a child under ten years old, there will be no distinction between selling and luring. As long as the child becomes a slave, he will be hanged.
But the premise is that these villains must be caught!
No matter Kaifeng Mansion or Dali Temple, Gui Fan Tower is a huge headache. Although it needs to be cleaned every year, it is difficult to cause fatal damage to Gui Fan Tower.
The ultimate reason is that these villains have lived here for a long time and are familiar with the terrain inside. Once they encounter a crackdown, they advance and retreat, twisting and turning, and it is difficult for outsiders to find them.
And the capital is above, and special weapons cannot be used underground. Even if there are cannon-type firearms at this moment, no matter how powerful they are, who dares to fire cannons in Guifan Tower? If it causes the earth to collapse, I am afraid that the officials and princes will be the first to be held accountable.
In addition to the channels underground in Kaifeng Mansion, there are also ancient cities from the Warring States Period. A folk song goes like this: Kaifeng City, cities on top of cities, there are several cities buried underground. I am afraid that even if the villains who have lived there for a long time escape, they may not really be able to destroy this underground city. See the world thoroughly.
Moreover, there are many homeless and poor people in Guifan Tower. Even if they have not done any evil, they are the hostages of those villains. The government officials use rat weapons to avoid pushing them too hard, not to mention that if the suppression is successful, then How will the people inside be accommodated? If these many people suddenly appear on the ground, and the court cannot control them or is unwilling to provide them with food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the city of Tokyo will be in chaos.
Therefore, they can only be suppressed hastily, and these villains are also very knowledgeable. They only abduct children from ordinary people with outstanding looks, never from officials. When they commit crimes, they only dare to offend civilians and dare not get involved with the government. This is what the imperial court has been tolerating. main reason.
Zhao Tong sat on the chair, silently thinking about everything about Ghost Fan Lou. He tapped his fingers on the wooden table, making a "ta-da" sound. Huang Gu and Jian Suyi just stood still, knowing in their hearts that Ghost Fan Lou It's really too tricky. If it were applied to my own family, I would never be able to come up with a good solution.
Forces such as the Three Tigers and the Five Snakes in Tokyo occasionally fight against Guifanlou, usually because their property has been robbed. Although many people kill Guifanlou, there is no way to recover the property.
Just after the New Year in Broken Jade Tower, a batch of things were robbed, which were probably worth some money. However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that one of the three people escorting the goods was dead, one was injured, and the other was missing. He was Huang Guxin's disciple, named Ding Sanmao, who was handsome and clever. According to the injured who escaped back, he was kidnapped by people from Gui Fanlou.
Zhao Tong then sent Jian Suyi to confirm the matter. After confirming that it was Gui Fanlou, he sent someone to keep an eye on him, but the person he was staring at now was also gone.
Zhao Tong stood up slowly and said, "Let's go and have a look."
Huang Gu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately said: "Young Master, no!"
Zhao Tong smiled: "What's wrong? It's not that at this time, there is the most activity there. Since they can capture people from Broken Jade Tower, Broken Jade Tower can also capture their people. It's just a good time to ask the underground people after arresting them." General situation.”
"Sir, I'll go back to the building and gather more people and ask Ouyang Bei and the others to come over." Huang Gu was sweating a little. Ghost Fan Tower is so dangerous. If Zhao Tong had an accident based on this, it would be really shocking. He really can't bear this responsibility.
"No need, don't you know that I also practice martial arts?" Zhao Tong shook his head and said seriously: "If we really compete with guns and sticks, Huang Gu, you may not be my opponent."
Huang Gu smiled bitterly, of course he knew that Zhao Tong practiced martial arts, and had once worshiped the Shaanxi hero Zhou Tong as his teacher. Zhou Tong was a world-famous martial arts master, but he had countless disciples in his life, and only in Tokyo city When he was the head coach of the Royal Boxing Gym, he had hundreds of registered disciples. As for whether Zhao Tongxue had learned the true teachings, no one knew.
"Master, please think twice." Jian Suyi also said. She was wearing black clothes today. Her cheeks were as white as jade, her eyes were like water, and her body was like a delicate willow.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave now. Do you two have any handy weapons with you?" Zhao Tong said.
The two looked at each other, knowing that they could not dissuade him, so they both said: "The weapons are hidden in the clothes."
Zhao Tong nodded, stood up and left, the two of them following closely.
"There are the most open channels in Zhouqiao and Baotou, but there are also many people, so we can't start there. We have to find a quiet place!" Zhao Tong said as he walked.
The most popular one is Ma Xing Street Night Market. Tokyo's Zhouqiao Night Market is famous all over the world, but Ma Xing Street Night Market is not inferior to Zhou Qiao. It is crowded with cars and horses, crowded with people, and extremely bustling and lively.
