Qingzhou was the largest state in the later Qing Dynasty, and the imperial city Purple Dragon City where Emperor Qianlong of the later Qing Dynasty lived was located in Qingzhou Kyoto.
Mangzhou, where Ye Long is currently located, is in the southwest of Qingzhou and adjacent to the surrounding areas.
Mangzhou, Qingshui City, was also the place where the beggar gang branch was located in the later Qing Dynasty.
Zhong Changtong's home is in Qingshui City.
After entering Qingshui City, Ye Long realized that beggars still had such a high status in the Qing Dynasty.
Since the Later Qing Dynasty was ruled by the Manchus, the status of the Han people was very low, and some were even reduced to hard work.
Some people who did not have enough to eat joined the beggar gang.
Because in the post-Qing Dynasty, the Beggar Gang was truly the largest gang.
Although this is only a branch of the Zhongdu Beggar Clan, its power is already much stronger than that of the Zhongdu Beggar Clan headquarters.
Under the Beggar Gang, Xuan Suzhuang was relatively powerful, and there was also the hidden anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty force, the Honghua Society.
But in terms of numbers alone, the Snow Mountain Sect was the real number one gang in the post-Qing Dynasty.
Its leader, Bai Zizai, is also known as the number one master in the Later Qing Dynasty. Even the golden-faced Buddha Miao Renfeng, who is known as the invincible fighter in the world, can only be said to not fall behind in a fight with Bai Zizai.
The status of the two is also very different. Bai Zizai is admired by the martial arts world, and all the major gangs and forces in the Qing Dynasty want to be friends with him.
Although Miao Renfeng was a hero and did justice, he was once one of Li Zicheng's four bodyguards, and he was also a rebel, and he was the main target of the later Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, this Miao Renfeng can only live outside the Liaodong Pass.
Zhong Changtong's so-called humble house is actually just a courtyard house, which looks very dilapidated. However, for this world, having a house is very good, not to mention that he is a member of the Beggar Clan.
There are ordinary people who even live in thatched houses. There are not even thatched houses, just temporary tents!
This is how the Han people were treated in the post-Qing Dynasty. They didn't even have a place to live, let alone food.
In order to survive, many Han people became slaves of the Qing court, working for them just for a bite to eat.
There are also some people who have become beggars and joined begging groups, but no one dares to bully these beggars.
Because behind them, there is a gang of beggars supporting them.
If you want to give alms, give alms. If you don't want to give alms, no one will dare to force you. But if you bully beggars, you are declaring war on the beggars.
Of course, some people think that begging... makes people lose face. It is better to be a slave of the Qing court, help them farm and do chores, and at least preserve a little dignity of their own.
For these people, Zhong Changtong has nothing to say. After all, everyone has their own pursuits.
The most important thing is that he doesn't dare to go too far. Even though the young emperor Qianlong gave the Beggar Clan a lot of face, when the Beggar Clan's power grows to threaten his dominance of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong will definitely not show mercy at that time. .
The young emperor Qianlong was not stupid either. With the help of the Queen Mother, the situation in the Later Qing Dynasty gradually stabilized.
And the beggars are the ones he needs to recruit! It cannot be suppressed or indulged at the moment. Therefore, we just turn a blind eye to what the beggars do.
Whether it is the Beggar Clan or the Qing court, are they all tacitly aware of this? As long as the other party doesn't do too much, both parties can live in peace. But if one party touches the other party's bottom line, there will definitely be an unprecedented battle.
Zhong Changtong understood it, and so did Qianlong!
"In other words, the Beggar Gang now has a very high status in the Qing Dynasty?" Ye Long was sitting in the living room, listening to Zhong Changtong's story, feeling slightly surprised.
This is really a world of difference. The Northern Beggar Gang was also the largest gang in the Northern Song Dynasty and had a very good relationship with the Song court.
Not to mention the Southern Beggar Gang, they are all tied to Nan Ting, and both parties will be prosperous and the other will suffer losses.
After the Qing Dynasty, the Zhongdu Beggar Clan took over the helm, and its relationship with the Qing court was somewhat subtle. At least they would not fight to the death.
He is the only one who accepts the Zhongdu Beggar Gang... What he is facing is the Great Yuan Kingdom, a group of reckless men who have no reason at all. They just want to destroy your Zhongdu Beggar Gang and rob you of Zhongdu. Capital City, either you die or I die.
Is this Temujin really a reckless man with no brains at all?
You see, among the masters from the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties to the later Qing Dynasty, none of them appease and recruit the beggars.
"It's okay. At least the later Qing court will give some less favor. The later Qing court has always wanted to recruit the beggar gang. How could I agree? But I didn't go too far. My actions against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Han Dynasty were also It's not too big, just occasional

You robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and gave the money of many corrupt officials in the Qing court to the common people of the Han Dynasty. "Zhong Changtong said.
"You did a good job. Although the Beggar Gang developed very well in the Qing Dynasty, if you really rebel against the Qing Dynasty and start a war with the Qing Dynasty, you will only destroy yourself. After all, the soldiers are the most important on the battlefield!" Ye The dragon nodded.
"Does this Houqing have other strengths that are not as good as those of princes and kings?" Ye Long asked again.
"Yes, King Happy has a city of his own. He is a king with a different surname from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He wants to unify the martial arts of the Later Qing Dynasty, and his relationship with the Hou Qing Dynasty is not very good. There are also Prince Guo and Prince Dun, these two people He is the uncle of the young Emperor Qianlong, but he is a very low-key kind." Zhong Changtong thought for a while and said.
"The Happy King..." Ye Long thought thoughtfully. Who is the Happy King in the martial arts history? This kind of king with a different surname should have no interest in the country. Instead, he is very interested in unifying the world and becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance.
As for Prince Guo and Prince Dun, we can learn more about them in detail. After all, if they want to overthrow Qianlong's rule, he, the two imperial uncles, can take advantage of them.
In fact, Ye Long still has a clue. This Qianlong is probably Han... the son of Mr. Chen Ge of Haining.
"Grandpa, I heard that Ye Long is here. Where is he? Let me see quickly." Suddenly a clear and sweet voice sounded, and then a seemingly lively and cute girl ran in happily jumping up and down.
Ye Long turned around and saw a sixteen or seventeen year old girl looking at her blankly.
The girl is dressed plainly, with a small flower on her head. Her appearance is delicate and beautiful, giving people a pure and lovely feeling.
"This should be Zhong Yanyan." Ye Long thought in his heart.
When Ye Long was sizing up Zhong Yanyan, Zhong Yanyan was naturally sizing up Ye Long as well.
Her big watery eyes were full of spirituality. She couldn't stop looking at Ye Long. As she looked at him, her face became rosy.
"This man is so good-looking, his eyes are so beautiful... Is he Ye Long? He looks even more handsome than the portrait?" Zhong Yanyan smiled shyly in her heart, and her eyes when looking at Ye Long changed. .
"My good granddaughter, can't you be more ladylike!" Zhong Changtong said helplessly. His granddaughter is lively and has a bold personality. Sometimes she acts like a boy, which gives him a headache.
"It's okay. Miss Zhong's character is quite likable." Ye Long smiled slightly. He saw the shadow of Zhong Ling in Zhong Yanyan. He had an inexplicable liking for this quirky character.
Maybe he really was influenced by that woman.
"I've met Mr. Ye." Zhong Yanyan's face turned red, and she came to Ye Long and bowed before her. Zhong Changtong was dumbfounded by her shy look at finding a woman.
Is this still my granddaughter? Did you admit the wrong person? It's like a different person!
Or... Zhong Changtong glanced at his granddaughter, then at Ye Long, and was shocked.
It’s over! My granddaughter has fallen in love with Ye Long... No, this is absolutely not okay!
Shuang'er was a little bit amused because she could see that Zhong Yanyan's expression was the same as when she first saw Ye Long! Although I haven't fallen in love with Ye Long yet, I have a crush on him, that's for sure.
In fact, I don't blame Zhong Yanyan... I can only blame her girlish feelings, just like Ding Busan's granddaughter Dingdang.
In the arena, the legend of Ye Long is really amazing, surpassing Qiao Feng, Murong Fu and many other young masters who have just emerged!
This made many girls who were full of fantasies about the world couldn't help but become curious about Ye Long.
Now that I see a real person, Ye Long is more beautiful than Pan An and Song Yu. Those mature and beautiful young women may be able to resist the temptation, but girls who have never been in love and have not been beaten up by society... are not so big. of concentration.
When Ye Long sees that peerless beauty, he will fall in love with her and try all means to get her, like Princess Xiangxiang, the most beautiful woman in the world...
As a man, if he sees it, he will like it and feel admiration in his heart. As a woman, of course, he will also feel it in his heart.
We are all human beings, men are lustful, and women are no exception.
The only difference is that men can have three wives and four concubines, but women need three obediences and four virtues! This society does not allow them to be lustful or have affairs.
But girls are different. They haven’t even left the court yet, and it doesn’t matter who they lust after for the first time...!
"Miss Zhong, I wanted to see you so much. Now that I have seen you, what do you think?" Ye Long stared at Zhong Yanyan with a smile in his eyes.
"I don't... have no idea." Zhong Yanyan said shyly. She was not a man.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
My child, how can I say some words?
"Really? But I think Miss Zhong is very cute." Ye Long smiled and his eyes seemed to be giving off electricity to Zhong Yanyan.
"I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy... I'm going to faint!" Zhong Yanyan felt her heart beating wildly as she was shocked by Ye Long's evil look. She felt as if she was in love.
"Grandpa, Mr. Ye, you guys chat, I'll go down first." Zhong Yanyan glanced at Ye Long shyly, and then ran away quickly.
She is a nymphomaniac.
She didn't know what she would do when facing Ye Long if she stayed here, and she was even more shy and didn't dare to face Ye Long.
"Hey..." Zhong Changtong let out a long breath. He knew that his granddaughter was really fascinated by Ye Long.
"Gang Leader Ye, why do you look so handsome and elegant? It would be better if you were a little uglier... Then I would marry my granddaughter to you, but you are too much! You are such a handsome man, no, no, no." He thought bitterly in his heart.
If Ye Long knew what Zhong Changtong was thinking at this time, he would feel very strange. When you are looking for a son-in-law for your granddaughter, shouldn't you look for someone who is as handsome as a tree and stands in the wind? Why is it still ugly?
"Why did Master Zhong sigh?" Ye Long asked curiously. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind.
Zhong Changtong also saw that his granddaughter Zhong Yanyan fell in love with him at first sight! But isn’t this good? By marrying us, we can completely hide you in my chariot. If you don’t want to join me in Jiangzhou, then let Zhong Yanyan tell you!
However, Zhong Changtong sighed so repeatedly that he couldn't figure out why.
Shouldn't we learn from Ding Busan? Give it directly to your granddaughter! He forced himself to be his grandson-in-law. I still don’t know my true identity or age.
Originally, Ye Long might have refused, but... since his mood had changed and he had figured it out, he had decided not to let go of the beauty he liked... anymore!
If he could capture all the beauties in martial arts, his dream would be fulfilled.
However, he knew that this dream was somewhat unrealistic... it was even more difficult than just pacifying the world and unifying the world.
But this is my goal.
Suppress the troubled times, unify the world, and collect all the beauties in the world.
He loves the country and the beauty.
"No, just a little emotional." Zhong Changtong shook his head.
How should he persuade his granddaughter? Ye Long is destined to be the dragon among men.
In terms of martial arts, his strength is terrifying, and even in the world, only that old monster who has never appeared in the world can rival him.
In terms of status, he is now the lord of Jiangzhou, a prince, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and he will even expand his territory in the future.
In terms of appearance, he is more handsome than Pan An Song Yu, no, he is more handsome than Pan An Song Yu.
He is destined to be an extraordinary person, and there will only be more women around him, and they will become more and more outstanding... If his granddaughter follows him, he will probably be relegated to the sidelines soon, and it will be difficult to be favored. Son, not happy at all.
"Grandpa...someone is here to visit." Zhong Yanyan turned back again, but this time she did not jump around happily, but walked into the hall like a little girl.
"Really?" Zhong Changtong asked curiously.
"The owner of Xuansu Village... Daxia Min, and the disciple of Snow Mountain Sect leader Bai Zizai, Hua Wanzi." Zhong Yanyan said.
"Master Min, Hua Wanzi? Why are they here?" Zhong Changtong frowned slightly.
He knew Xuansu Village, and even more so the Snow Mountain Sect, but Beggar Clan Su Lai had no interaction with Xuansu Village or the Snow Mountain Sect. What was the purpose of visiting now?
"Grandpa, do you want them to come in?" Zhong Yanyan saw her grandfather frowning and asked in a low voice.
"No." Zhong Changtong thought for a long time before he said.
His approach is the safest. No matter what, the Qing Dynasty will not trouble him in the future.
Xuan Suzhuang and the Xueshan Sect have always been against the Later Qing court. Although I don't like the Later Qing court, if I want to see Min Rou in all her glory, the Later Qing court will definitely be suspicious of me.
Outside my own courtyard, there are many informants from the Later Qing Dynasty.
Ye Long showed a satisfied smile. If it were him, he would do the same.
Some things can only be done in secret. Such a blatant visit, if Zhong Changtong met those two people, would definitely arouse the suspicion of the later Qing court.
However, Ye Long still planned to meet him, but it turned out that the person coming was Min Rou.
