Chapter 616 Who Is Afraid of Whom?
In Jia Huan's opinion, there is an imbalance between the power of the court and the people.
This is a very serious situation. If the court does not deal with it properly, unspeakable tragedies may occur.
After all, it is not terrible for sporadic first-class masters to do evil. What is terrible is when the Jianghu forces with many first-class masters begin to expand their power and compete for interests without following the rules.
At that time, the local tyrants who are the foundation of the court will definitely not be able to defeat the Jianghu forces with powerful military forces.
Even the local government and the local wing troops may not be able to suppress it!
As long as you know something about history, you will know what will happen in the end when such a situation occurs.
Obviously, according to various intelligence reports, neither the court nor the local government cares about the new changes.
I don't know whether to say that the gentlemen are too arrogant or that they are innocent?
What's funny is that the existence of the Beggars' Gang indirectly helped the Song Dynasty court stabilize the order of the Jianghu.
Adhering to the concept of chivalry first, the Beggars' Gang has always been cracking down on the scum who commit crimes in the Jianghu.
No matter whether the opponent is a newcomer or a well-known first-class martial arts master, once the Beggars' Gang targets them for doing evil, their life will definitely not be easy.
Either they will be hunted down by the masters sent by the Beggars' Gang, or they can only hide in the dark and dare not show up.
Of course, although the Beggars' Gang has a strong deterrent power, it can't actually do it perfectly.
After all, without the law enforcement power in the hands of the government, the definition of many things can only rely on simple moral concepts, and it is impossible to do the so-called "acting in accordance with the law".
There are also human relationships and conflicts of interest, which are not so pure.
It is not easy for the Beggars' Gang to achieve this step.
At least, under the strong suppression of the Beggars' Gang, the overall order of the entire Central Plains martial arts world is relatively stable, and the atmosphere is fair and upright, which has greatly reduced the burden on the government.
This is the limit of the Beggars' Gang. It would be a bit impolite to control more.
It is even likely to trigger a strong backlash from fellow martial artists!
Any fellow Jianghu who has cultivated a certain level of martial arts, whether in temper or rebelliousness, is not comparable to ordinary people.
Once they are suppressed too harshly, they will definitely face a strong rebound!
It is true that the Beggars' Gang is now a veritable "Jianghu Police", but it is not really omnipotent.
Jia Huan knew this very well, and did not ask the Beggars' Gang brothers to do this and that before they would be satisfied.
It can only be said that there are still wise people in the court.
Ahem, not the group of civil servants, but the high-level officials of the Imperial City Division who have had a lot of dealings with them.
Seeing the exquisite visiting card in his hand, Jia Huan felt quite funny.
From the change in the attitude of the Imperial City Division towards the Beggars' Gang, we can understand the change in the strength of the Beggars' Gang.
At the beginning, they went directly to the door and acted arrogantly, as if the Beggars' Gang was a subordinate unit of the Imperial City Division, and they were not polite at all.
The next time they came to the door, their attitude was much more gentle.
If there was anything that needed the intervention of the Beggars' Sect, they would discuss it with the Beggars' Sect, without any sign of using power to force them, giving the Beggars' Sect enough face.
Now, when they wanted to visit, they actually sent a visiting card in a proper manner.
This is to treat the Beggars' Sect as equals!
It is not easy to make the Imperial City Division put on such an attitude.
Unlike the other senior leaders of the headquarters who were all smiling, Jia Huan's expression did not change at all.
He knew that when you give a gift to someone, you must have something to ask for!
The lower the attitude of the people from the Imperial City Division, the harder it will be to achieve the goal next.
Sure enough, after the greetings, the people from the Imperial City Division directly explained their purpose.
"What, you want the Beggars' Sect to hand over the control of the Snake Valley outside Xiangyang City?"
Without waiting for Jia Huan to react, the newly promoted innate strongman, the former head of the Bowl Dragon Head and the current head of the General Affairs Hall of the Beggars' Sect, jumped up and shouted dissatisfiedly: "What a joke, you are dreaming!"
"Humph, don't you know?"
The person from the Imperial City Bureau said dissatisfiedly: "Because of the appearance of the Pusqu Snake, there have been many first-class masters in the world in recent years, which has seriously affected the stability of local order!"
"If such a dangerous outlet is not closed, there will be a lot of trouble in the future!"
"When the court blames it, can the Beggars' Sect bear it?"
Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with brilliance and his aura soared, showing the majesty of an innate strongman.
However, for the innate strongmen of the Beggars' Sect present, it did not have any effect at all.
"Oh, Jia just doesn't understand!"
Jia Huan said softly: "When encountering a situation, the court and the government do not think about improving their own strength, but instead suppress and control blindly. Isn't it too cowardly?"
Speaking of this, he was not very polite: "Don't you bow your head and submit to the Liao Kingdom and Xixia for a long time, and even dare not accept the self-improvement behavior of the people in the country?"
"You..."
The man from the Imperial City Division was so angry that his eyes turned red. He stared at Jia Huan fiercely, and put on a posture that he might suddenly attack at any time, which was quite bluffing.
At least, the four elders of the Beggar Gang sitting next to him, who were also the four newly promoted innate masters, couldn't help but change their faces slightly and prepared to take action at any time.
"Why, are you angry because you were hit in the sore spot?"
Jia Huan didn't care. A mere innate early stage master was not worth worrying about at all.
"Boss Jia, we know that you are powerful in martial arts and are the peak of the innate!"
The man from the Imperial City Bureau suppressed his anger and said unhappily: "The court is not as bad as you say. Once it really turns against the Beggars' Sect, I think the Beggars' Sect will not have an easy time!"
"Easy or not, you can only know after the fight!"
Jia Huan was unmoved and said leisurely: "Could it be that the court wants to send troops to attack?"
"It's possible!"
"Then how much casualties do you think the imperial guards sent by the court can withstand?"
"Boss Jia, what do you mean by this? Do you want to go against the imperial army?"
"The imperial guards have come to kill us, the Beggars' Sect Of course, I won't surrender!"
"Okay, I didn't expect that Gang Leader Jia's ambition would expand to such an extent!"
"Isn't this just a quick talk? The Beggars' Sect has six innate masters, hundreds of first-rate masters, and thousands of second-rate and third-rate masters!"
"So what? Facing a well-trained army, they can only run away!"
"What Jia means is, how many local officials in the court and how many officers in the army can withstand the crazy assassination of the Beggars' Sect masters?"
In one sentence, the people from the Imperial City Division broke down, and their faces turned pale.
If such a thing really happened, I'm afraid the court would be the first to be unable to bear it. He was too familiar with the nature of the civil servants. They were sharp-tongued, but in fact, they cherished their lives very much.
What he couldn't understand the most was Jia Huan's attitude. Why did he suddenly become so tough?
