Fang Jian only needed to learn a little bit to understand that the Huang Yue bandits were, after all, a group composed of immortal bandits. They only had the order of immortal bandits. Although they occupied Hanhaizhou, they had not established a complete system and order at all.
Therefore, the governance model of the Huang Yue bandits is probably the "neighborhood supervision" model, which is also related to the concept proposed by Zhuang Qiao and Dao Zhi. Zhuang Qiao and Dao Zhi believed that where there is a system there will be power, and where there is power there will be nobles, so they exist completely in the "bandit" model. Although there are various leaders within the Huang Yue bandits, people usually do not call them leaders, but big brother, second brother, or even elders and juniors.
In this way, the Huang Yue bandit group is equivalent to a huge family. Since they are a family, there is naturally no distinction between high and low.
Facts have proved that this point is true. At least when Fang Jian walked on the streets of Daze City, he saw that everyone was living in harmony. There was no scene like the one in Yujing City where there was hierarchy and distinction between the noble and the humble.
But this also brings up a problem, that is, what path should one go through to meet Zhuang Qiao and Dao Zhi?
After stopping to think about it, Fang Jian decided to find someone to ask.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the passerby in front of him pointed to the north of Daze City and said calmly, "The courtyard of the chief is in the northwest corner, and the courtyard of the second chief is in the northeast corner. You can go directly to whichever chief you want to see. There is no need to inform them."
"Uh..." Fang Jian never expected that he would be so casual. He immediately thanked him and followed the road pointed by the passerby all the way to the northwest corner.
Sure enough, I saw a yard here that was larger than the other yards. At this moment, a group of children were playing outside the gate of this yard, and there was not even anyone on duty at the gate.
Fang Jian came to the gate of the courtyard and glanced inside, but he could only hear some faint voices. There were also several girls playing games in the front yard. It seemed that everyone was behind.
Fang Jian then turned to the children playing at the door and asked, "Hello, I'd like to ask if Chief Zhuang Qiao is here?"
A group of children who were playing hopscotch turned their heads to look at Fang Jian, and then one of them said, "Yes, but the chief is meeting guests in the backyard."
Fang Jian asked again: "Can I come in?"
“Sure.” said the children.
Fang Jian smiled and thanked him, then turned and entered the courtyard. At this time, a young man came out from the side room in the front yard and walked straight to Fang Jian. He first bowed and then asked, "Where are you from?"
Fang Jian bowed and said, "I came from the south to see the great leader Zhuang Qiao."
The young man smiled and said, "Brother is currently receiving guests from the main hall. How about you please sit in the side room for a while?"
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, then asked the young man, "What's your name, fellow Daoist?"
The young man smiled and said, "I am Zhuang Xi."
Then Fang Jian and Zhuang Xi went into the side room together. Zhuang Xi made tea for Fang Jian, and Fang Jian took this opportunity to learn some things about the Huang Yue bandit from Zhuang Xi.
About an hour later, Fang Jian heard voices coming from outside. He turned his head and looked outside, only to see a group of nobles in gorgeous clothes walking out from the backyard.
Leading the group was none other than the Daoist Minister of the Court of Justice, 'Yi Yuan Dao Zun'. Behind Yi Yuan Dao Zun were two governors of the Honglu Tai, 'Gu Peng Shang Qing' and 'Lian Jin Shang Qing', followed by a group of junior ministers and ministers. It was a very grand occasion.
The last person to emerge was a man in plain clothes. Zhuang Xi immediately said to Fang Jian, "That's my brother Zhuang Qiao."
Fang Jian looked at them intently and immediately made a judgment. It seemed that Zhuang Qiao and Da Daoting had not reached any agreement on the matter, which could be seen from their expressions.
Da Daoting's face was full of arrogance and coldness, and although Zhuang Qiao had a smile on his face, there was a hint of obvious anger hidden beneath that smile.
There wasn't even the most basic courtesy between the two sides. After coming out of the backyard, everyone in the Dao Court left directly under the leadership of Daoist Master Yi Yuan.
At this moment, Zhuang Xi immediately stood up and ran out of the side room, calling out to Zhuang Qiao who was about to go back, "Brother."
Zhuang Qiao turned around and saw Zhuang Xi. He immediately stopped and asked Zhuang Xi, "How long has your sister-in-law been home?"
Zhuang Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Half a month."
"Your sister-in-law has been away for half a month. Why haven't you gone to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Is that right?" Zhuang Qiao said.
Zhuang Xi scratched his head and said, "Well... I wanted to stay and help my brother."
Zhuang Qiao waved his hand and said, "These are all trivial matters for me. My sister-in-law is going home to visit her family. It's fine if you don't go with her, but it's really not right for you to not visit her for so long! You should go there early tomorrow morning. Tonight, go to the market and buy some magical fruits and delicacies. Oh, and remember to bring some wine pills, as your father-in-law loves to drink."
"Yes," Zhuang Xi bowed and then said to Zhuang Qiao, "Brother, there's another guest who just arrived from the south and wants to see you."
"Oh?" Zhuang Qiao glanced behind Zhuang Xi and saw Fang Jian walking slowly towards him.
Zhuang Xi turned around and said, "Brother, this is the Taoist friend. He said it's inconvenient to reveal his name here."
Zhuang Qiao nodded, bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Please go to the backyard to chat."
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Okay."
Fang Jian and Zhuang Qiao came to the backyard and found that it was a very spacious small dirt yard, but it was indeed very tidy. The ground was covered with small gravel. Although simple, it was very exquisite.
At this time, a woman from the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm was arranging the tables and chairs in the yard. Zhuang Qiao said to Fang Jian, "This is my wife."
