"Notes on the Tomb Robber" has a prequel, called "Old Nine Doors", Changsha Nine Doors in the eyes of the people in the outer eight lines, is the absolute top existence, but also dominates the underground antique business in Changsha City, no matter what cultural relics need to go through one of the stalls, otherwise it is to seek their own death. This was the strength of changsha's nine gates at that time, equivalent to the "earth emperor" in Changsha city during the Republic of China period, each of which had a strong and tyrannical strength, and was not an ordinary local rich man. So how is this nine-door ranking determined?
(1) Officers in the three doors: Military masters play in the middle of the immortals
Among the three doors, Zhang Jia, February Hong, and Half Cut Li, the identity of these three people is relatively noble, ranking in the top three among the nine doors. This is also related to their own strength, because the family has a wealth of power and money, and they are called officials. The three old masters of the upper three doors were all well-known old ladies, and the people who said one thing on the road at that time were not the same. To say that they were Tufuzi may be a bit condescending, because at that time their family's power was already similar to that of a small warlord.
Another reason is that although these three families have made a fortune by selling antiques behind their backs, their official identities have generally been bleached, they have legitimate business on the façade, and they are powerful in the official arena, and the upside down mainly relies on their own partners.
(2) The three gates are thieves: the prodigal son of Yan Luo smiling Buddha
The definition of the three gates in the jianghu is a thief, which means to dig up treasure and sell it. Their identity is the Tufuzi of Changsha, but they are a little stronger than ordinary people, and there are rules and commanders. Chen Pi'a Si, Wu Old Dog (Wu Evil Grandpa), and Black-backed Old Sixth are all upside-down monks, and even their own descendants can't get rid of this fate. Just like Wu Evil in Wu San Province, they still fight and rob tombs, and they are this identity.
If most of the legends of Shangsanmen are English names, beautiful names or ichijing gossip, most of the legends of Pingsanmen are notoriety. Pingsanmen is a thief, Yan Luo Prodigal Son smiling Buddha, is the main force of the clamp lamas, are some lone heroes, the most disciples under them, walking in the mountains all day is these people, these people are relatively young, and greed is very heavy, killing people and looting everything, reputation is by fighting, so there is no concern.
(3) The next three doors are quotients: beauty arithmetic chess through the sky
The Huo family, the Qi family, and the Reconciliation family are all in business, but they are also inseparable from the antique business. They never go to the grave, nor do they have the craft of fighting backwards, but they are responsible for the sale and sale of these cultural relics, and the family foundation is very thick. In comparison, it is obvious that those who are engaged in business are not as good as those who are thieves, but those who are thieves are afraid of becoming officials. The lower three gates and the three peaceful gates are closely related (for example, the Wu family and the Xie family are in-laws), while the upper three doors and the lower three doors have relatively little contact because there is no interest.
Therefore, the ranking in the old nine doors is very simple, that is, it is positioned according to identity, even if you have the strength and wealth of the business, you dare not oppose the official, right? As for why it is called the Nine Gates, in fact, the old Nine Gates of Changsha may originate from the saying that the Nine Gates are the Admiral, and it is also because Changsha had nine city gates at that time that it had this name.
